To which are added remarks on the wonders of the Microscope in revealing the hidden mysteries "of Life within Life," and its advantages in detecting, by nrlnaryexamination, the cause and effect of every variety of these complaints, with numerous engravings and cases., BY SAMUEL LA'MERT, M.D., 37, BEDFORD SQUARE, LONDON, Matriculated Member of the University of Edinburgh, Honorary Member of the London Hospital Medical Society, Licentiate of Apothecaries' Hall, London, &c., &c. The essential object of this treatise is to point out the fearful con- Sequences resulting from certain habits, irregularities, and excesses, Which have produced more misery in Youth, degradation in Man hood, and premature decay at all stages of life, than,- perhaps, any other class of disease known to modem pathologists. Its perusal is Particularly recommended to persons entertaining secret doubts of their physical condition, and who are conscious of having hazarded the health, happiness, and privileges to which every hu_man being is entitled. It in absolutely necessary that all men should know that there are 1 rinciples of personal management which cannot be violated with . ut incurring grievous penalties, and when wisdom and regret suc ceed the heyday of inconsiderate self-indulgence, how those penalties may be mitigated, how the sting of their bitterness may be removed, and how the evil and its consequences maybe 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.

On June - 016'511y 1805, he obtained command of the woofiYieti',l4, armee en flute, in which ship hafirstpxoceeded to the East Indus, then to the , Rio de la Platarief which he made a very accurate survey during -the-Tanipaign ef 1807—and afterwards to the Cape of Good Hive and the Mediterranean. His net apiiiii:ntments were .:—May 23, 1809, to the BlOsiom sloop, ' em ployed on the coast of Spain, at Quebec, and in an noying various fleets of merchantmen ; and May 30, 1810, on promotion to post rank, to the Fre derickstem frigate. Capt. Beaufort did not, how ever, join the latter ship until Dec. 1,2 following, beingin the interval employed protecting the out ward-bound trade to Portugal, Cadiz, and Gibral tar, in accompanying two Spanish line-of-battle ships from the latter place to Minorca, and in dis' charging the duties from Sept. 27 to Oct. 21 of acting captain of the Ville de Paris, 110. During the two following years he was actively engaged in a survey of the coastof Karamania, in Asia Minor, an employment he was obliged to relinquish in con sequence of a nearly fatal gtrashof wound he • re ceived from the hands of a fanatical Turk, June 20, 1812. Captain Beaufort, who had previously contributed to the extirpation of a band of pirates from the southern part of the Mores, then returned home with convoy, and on the 29th of October in the same year was paid off, For several years after his arrival inn - England Rear-Ad miral Beaufort appears to have been fully occupied in laying down the results of his labours, and in constructing, under the Lords of the Admiralty, a variety of charts, of which we may enumerate one of the Archipelago, three of the Black Sea, dm, including the Coast of Africa, and seven of Kara mania. He became hydrographeiv to the Admi ralty in July, 1832 ; was nominated in April, 1835, a commissioner for inquiry into the laws, &c. under which pilots were appointed, governed, and paid ; and again, in January, 1845, for inquiring into the state o f harbours, shores, and rivers of the united kingdom. He accepted the rank of retired rear-admiral on the Ist of October; 1846. [Pram 41). STAMPED 50 achieved, "the ports, bays, and harbours"—for Russia grows minute in her insolence—of the east ern coast are "interdicted to foreign flags.v The Treaty of Paris opened all these " ports, bays, and hrrbours" to commerce ; the Court of St. Peters burg, taking advantage of the alienation between France and England, "interdiots them to all foreign flags." But the Treaty of Paris was signed by England, France, Turkey, Austria, Prussia, Sar dinia, as well as by Russia ; and the question is whether the interests of Europe and good faith have ' to prevail, or the interests of Russia and bad faith. Such is the dilemma into which Lord Clarendon, by his unskilful diplomacy in the Conference of Paris, and his careless redaction tf the Treaty of Paris, has plunged us. Is Lord Palmerston, that sworn foe of Russia, ready to confront these pre tensions of her in the interests of England and of Europe, or will he in this instance again truckle to Russia with the same subservience as be did in that affair of the Vixen, which Lord Stratford de Red cliffe long ago brought under the consideration of the House of Commons ? NAVAL AND MILITARY INTELLIGiNCE. A General Order issued by his Royal Highness the Commander-in-Chief reprehending the lenity of members of General Courts-niavtial on the trial of officers convicted of grave offences, was yesterday morning read in the garrison messroom at Wool wich, and desired to be pnerally made known, as follows : " Horse-Guards, Dec. 8. ." Upon two 000asionsAoerkwho have been convicted upon the clearest evidence of most severe offences against military discipline have been recommended bykeneral courts-martial to her - Majesty's merciful consideration In one case the individual was found guilty of having ab sented himself from his corps without leave for a consi derable time—setting at defiance all military subordina tion. In the other case the prisoner was convicted of habitual con'enapt of the orders of his commanding officer, and was moreover found guilty of scandalous conduct uubecoming the character of an officer and a gentleman. In other instances there were no mitigating circumstances, but in both the courts-martial having adjudged the prisoners the punishment doe to their crimes, accompanying the sentence by a recommendation to mercy, the General Commanding-in-Chief, in the exer cise of his judgment, did not feel justified in supporting such recommendation, based upon the youth and inexpe rience of the offender. There have been—and there may hereafter be—occasions where youth and inexperience may be urged in mitigation of punishment, but persevering and systematic disobedience of orders and deliberate falsehood can admit of no palliation, snd his Royal Ilighnees the Duke of Cambridge most earnestly desires that, where officers are called upon to adjudicate upon matters involving such serious offences, they will pause and seriously reflect before they recommend to her Ma jesty's clemency individuals who have been found guilty, and thereby have been proved unworthy of serving their Queen and country in a pr .fession which must be upheld by the principles of honour and discipline." THE FORCE AT SHEERNESS, &c. The greatest possible activity still continues in her Majesty's dockyard, Sheerness, principally, if not wholly, we may say, fitting out the following screw line-of-battle ships, &c., for a Channel fleet, thereby keeping on our shores a body of seamen available for any service that, may be required of them, viz. :—Renown, 90, screw, Captain Arthur Forbes, 800-horse power ; Royal George, 102, for first-class steam reserve, 400-horse power ; Terrible, 21, paddle, 800-horse power ; Scout, 20, screw, 400- horse rower ; Snake, 4, screw, 160-horse power. In addition to the above, we have in Sheerness Basin ac., the following vessels, to be made avail able for sea service, viz. ;—Meanee ' 80 ; Goliath, 80 ; Cressy, 80. In Sheerness Harbour we have —Waterloo, 120, Captain H. Harvey ; Formidable, 84, Captain Superintendent J. C. Fitzgerald ; and Edinburgh, 60, screw, Captain E: •P. Halsted, under whose superintendence, assisted by • Com 'milder C. H. Lloyd, late commander of the Wasp at Sebastopol, the following steam reserve squad rons aro placed, a great portion of which force is ready for sea, viz. : The detachment of 13th Light Infantry, needed to o-nnplete the Argo's allotment of troops for India, having w rived at Portsmouth yesterday from Wales, and the medicine chest having also found its way on board from Devon, the ship will leave Portsmouth harbour for Spithead this forenoon, and sail thence to-morrow morning for India, wea ther permitting. A court-martial, comprising Capt. H. Eyres, C. 8., of H.M. ship St. Vincent, president ; Capts. the Hon. J. Denman, of the Victoria and Albert ; G. H. Seymour, C. 8., of the Victory ; R Harris, of the Illustrious ; T. M. Mason, of the Curacoa ; It. S. Hewlett, C 8., of the Excellent; R. Moor soom, C. 8., of the Diadem; W. Crispin, additional of the Victoria and Albert ; and W. J. Hellyer, deputy-judge-advocate of the fleet, assembled yes terday morning an board the St. Vincent, in Ports mouth harbour to try Lieut. It. Chambers, of H. M. ship Blenheim, on a charge of returning on board that ship on the morning of the 10th inst., from leave, in a state of drunkenness. Captain the Hon. G. F. Hastings, of the Blenheim, prosecuted. The Court, after hearing the evidence in support of the charge; called upon the prisoner for his defence, which was an able composition. He handed in a great number of certificates of character from the commanding officers under whom he had served, all which were testimonials of the highest order in his ftvour, and remark tbly so as regards his habitual sobriety and gautlemanly demeanour. The Court found the charge proved, but in consideration of th , " prisoner's previime4righ citiract-cr "only *- judged him to be severely reprimanded and dis missed her Majesty's ship Blenheim." Lieut . . W. S. C. Pinwill, 27th Enniskillins, has been appointed to the command of the troops gar risoning Upnor Castle, Chatham. Yesterday 270 recruits arrived from the Northern and North-western districts, and, having been sur gically inspected at the hief recruiting depot, Delallay-street, Westminster, proceeded to Chat ham to join the Provisional Battalion. The re cruits are fur the 10th, 19th, 25th, 43d (Light In fantry), BGth, 87th, and 93d regiments of Foot. At a meeting held last night in the Freemasoii; hall, Woolwich, a collection was sot on foot in aid of the fund for the relief of the wives and families of the soldiers of the garrison now or here after to proceed on duty to India. The amount col lected was stated to exceed 501., which is to be handed over to Mrs. Tulloch, the lady president of the relief committee in Woolwich Arsenal. her Majesty's paddlewheel steamsloop Arden 7 Commander J. H. Cave, will leave Greenhithe to-day forthe West Coast of Africa, calling at Ports mouth. On proceeding from Woolwich to Green lithe she was accompanied in the measuted mile by an engineer officer of the dockyard to verify her rate of staam, which was nine knots per hour. Her ship's company, in command of Cap:. Cave, consists of Thomas Stackhouse, senior lieutenant ; N. D. F. Lillingston, junior lieutenant ; Geo. P. Heather, master ; Dr. T. B.

S., etc., which took pl ace a t B r i g hton on Wednesday. Real . - Ad miral Beafort was the son of the late Rev. D. Augustus Beaufort, D.D., rector of Navau , count y Meath, and vicar of Colon, county Louth. He entered the navy Juno 21, 1787, as a volunteer on board the Colossus, 74, Capt. H. C.

Stopford, one of Lord Howe's repeaters in the action of June 1, 1794 ; and while attached to the Phieton, 38, commanded in suc cession by the latter officer and Capt. lames Nicoll Morris, was present in Cornwallis's celebrated retreat, June 17, 1795 ; assisted in the course of the same year in driving on shore on the Isle de Re and destroying L'Echou, of 28 guns ; took part in the capture, March 10, 1796, of La Bonne Citoy dune, of 20 guns ; fought in a partial action, March s 23, 1798, with the Fiench 36-gun frigate La teU was instrumental, Sept. 8 following, first to t re of La Flore, 36 • and witnessed th e theel iarceanpt taking on various occasions oinine privateers and o th er armed vessels.

Having done this, you must then establish a rule by which justice shall be ad ministered. And here let me say a word about the old Indian. lam teld whenever I speak of India and of establishing justice there, "Oh you must listen to the experience of the old Indians." But these old Indians have done some things by which any man may estimate the value and character of their knowledge. I heard a gentleman in the House of Commons assert that torture was employed in India for the purpose of collecting the revenue, when be was immediately followed by an old Indian who was a director of the East Indian Company, • and had been a chairman of the Court of Directors, who • distinctly, boldly, and with great 'vehemence denied that torture was ever perpetrated in India for any such pur . pose—the vehemence of his denial, the firmness, aye, the au - tacit), with which he denied it, won open the House of Commons, and they cheered, as they always do cheer, a bold statemeet. But not long after a com mittee sat on the subject, and a report was made. I read that report, and it confirmed - all that had been asserted about the use of torture in the British do minions. I have lived long enough to call to that gentle man's mind the fineness, the vehemence, and the unhesi tatingness of his denial. T did it in the House of Com mons, and I silenced him, (Cheers.) There are men here who were present on that occasion. That was the first instance I derived of the value of an old Indian's experience. The next was still mere rernarkeble. Up to the wry hour of —nay, even after the outbreak of the sepoys a very old Indian told us that no outbreak would take place. The sepoys, he said, was docile and faithful and would Lever rebel. But while this was being said the Sepoys did rebel, and the very men who said these things of them were cut down by their even servants, and the ladies with whom they had lived and from whom they had received nothing but kindness and tenderness of treatment, and even the very children whom they-had fondlaand nursed, were mun. der ed by them, Again, &el, I say; we may by this test the value of the old Indian's experience, (Hear, hear.) The result, then, of all this is—let ns not go to old In dians for knowledge about India, If you want to know the true state of India go to the hard working missionary —go to the traders, don't go to the governors, who are surrounded by flatterers, and who are bowed down to by the Hindoo. They go out to India from this country young and inexperienced, and are captured by the beau tiful and graceful approach of the Hindoo. They look with gauze before their eyes, and not what is around them. They know nothing of the Hindoo character. Such being the case, an inquiry must take place regard ing the principles on which the future government of India is to be founded. But I warn the Government as to the sort of evidence which they receive. I have not much more to say. But before I close let me say one word to you as representing the people of Englaud. Re collect that you have taken upon yourselves the govern ment of India. You are answerable for all that talppene to ho done in the name of the people of Englands toward that country. Among other deeds which England has done has been the acquisition of Hindostan. There is an enormous population under your dominion, weak and uncivilised. You are still the governors of that country, and I would be'eech you to recollect the deep responsibility that now pre , nes upon you. You have to govern India ; and upon your shoulders will rest the re sponsibility for the merle in ech ah that country is hence forth governed. Your representatives require the spur and sometimes they require the bridle ; it is you upon whom it devolves to use that spur and to guide that bri dle. You have a free press and yoe are enabled to eay what you like. You must take every means of impressing upon your representatives the necessity of watching care fully the Government of India. It is a great and onerous duty, but having taker] upon ourselves the government of that country we are bound, as honest men, to see it well governed. In the next session the subject cannot be shelved. The people have had their feelings too much excited to allow tee government of that country to re main in the hands of those who have hitherto governed it since the seeeeis that have incurred. Depend upon it Parliament will have to bring to bear upon the Govern ment of India all the intellect and all the independence it possossee, but that intellect and that independence will fail if not backed up by popular opinion ; and I entreat every man within his circle to weigh well within himself the mode and manner in which he thinks Eng land ought to govern the people of India. I believe the time is at hand when all of you will have a direct influ ence in the Government of this country. When that period arrives your responsibility will be still greater. The great body of us now can certainly influence the councils of the nation by our opinion, but the time is not far from hence when you will be able to determine by your vote who shall govern England. When that time arrives I hope to see a good Government in India —good government wherever the power of England ex tends, and I ask to what part of the earth it does not extend I For, strange to s.ty, these small islands exercise an influence upon mankind which no Government ever before wielded. There islands are great in letters, in art, in science, in knowledge, and in happiness. The people of England are like a torch set up to enlighten mankind. You have bees inanbled, through Provide e; to extend your dominion.over the whole face. of thegloper, and it now remains to be seen whether Englishmen are as good as they are brave, whether they are as wieei as they are sagacious, and whether they can conduce to the happiness of mankind as much as they have con duced to the greatness of England. (Cheers.) The hon. gentleman then moved the toll rwing resolution : " That the system of the double Government of India, as tested by the results of its administration, has proved alike incompatible with the welfare and happiness of our fellow-subjects in that country, and with the safety and commercial prosperity of the British empire, and there fore th a t, w i t h a view to secure our national interests, and also to raise the moral and social condition of the people of India, to develope their resources, and to give them protection for persons and property, it is expedient that there be established for India a responsible form of Go vernment in the name of the Crown, under which all abuses may be checked by the control of the peopl4 of England, exercised through their representatives in , the House of C ommons. " Mr. OTWA.T seconded the resolution, and Mr. Menu), late editor of the Friend of India, supported it. Mr, COLLETT TLIOVed the following amendment . "That tho suppression of the Indian rebellion and the redress of Indian grievances can be obtained only by en forcing the penalties of the law upon those who are alike the authors of both, no t i n I n dia, but in England ; by restitution to the native princes and people; by the abo lition of the B oar d of Control ; a nd by the resuMption by the Queen i n C ouncil, by the P ar liament, and by the na tion, of control over the East India Company- Mr. CARE Reconded the amendment, which, on a show y of bands, w a4 negatived by a large majority. Mr. C. MU RRAY 19wing word s : then moved as an addendum the;fol- "moreover, this meeting is of opinion that the future happiness of the people of Bin &sten depend upon the faithful recognition on the part of the E ng li sh Government of anc i ent treaties entered tranquillity and soc i al into with the native princes, and an honourable respect for the religious opinions of the people of India; to insure which this meetin g S ugges t s a radical change in the repre sentative system of this country—viz., the abrogation of the rate-paying qualification and the substitution of a claim to be registered—m an hood suffrage—and the aboli tion of the pr o p er t y qualification for mem b ers of Path*. ment, without whi c h there is no hope o f any rea l or per manent reform i n our home, c olonial, or Indian empire.' The motion h av i ng been seconde d , The CHAIRMAN first put the resolution without' the addendum, which was carried with only two dissentients. The addendum was then put to the Tote, and catined by a large majority. A petition to the Rouse of Commons, founded on the resolution, was, on the motion of Mr. ERNEST J ORES, unanimously adopted The meeting then separated. During the proceeding, a groat deal of interruption and disturbance was occasioned by Captain Atcherley, who by a unanimous vote of the meeting was expelled th. room. SUPPRESSION oR THE AFRICAN SLAVE TRADE, We extract the following passages from the Message of the President of Bahia to the Legis lature of that province :—. " The naval station of this province consists of the Floop Euterpe, the steamer Vi atnao (which recently re placed the Mage), the brig-schooners Olinda and Eolo, and the small craft, Theresa. These vessels, destined to prevent the African slave traffic, are in incessant service both to the south and north of the station, and, under the direction of the distinguished objet commanding them, they zealously perform the duties committed to their charge. ".After the capture of the American brig-schooner M ary E. Smith, effected last January by the national vessel Oliada, in the waters of St. Mathew's, no other attempt at such crime has taken place. 66 o u r people have comprehended the time to have arrived for putting an end to the saddest of the legacies left to us by the first European settlers in our country, and for washing off the stain which still degraded us in the eyes of the civilised world. Honour be to the country as soon, as it knew its d u ti es b oth as a nat i on an d a showed a n example of self-den i a l , not d u ly a ppreciated as yet by an E uropean G overnme nt.

Two documents highly illustrative of the remarks we made on Tuesday on the non-fulfilment of the ' Twelfth Article of the Treaty of Paris appeared in yesterday's Daily News. We then, explained that the real motive of this bad faith on the part of Russia is that she may, by the exclusion of British commerce, British consuls, and the British flag from the eastern coast of the Black Sea, the more easily, and unobservedly, carry on her present desperate attempt at once and for ever to subdue the independence of Circassia ; that by the Caucasus she- would gain command over Persia, and so ,change, to our detriment as an Asiatic Power, the whole face of the Oriental question ; and that we had Consequently an interest of the highest kind in insisting on the full and literal fulfilment of the Twelfth Article of the Treaty of Paris. In one of the documents published yesterday, the Russian Government, through its Mission at Constantinople, has offered its explanations of the regulations recently issued as to its Black Sea ports. In the other document, the Chiefs of Circassia, with touch ing and affecting simplicity, point out to the Go vernments which were parties to the Treaty of Paris the consequence to them of the faithless and in sincere course which Russia is pursuing. It is not often that such irresistible evidence so quickly fol lows the expression of an opinion. These docu ments establish beyond doubt the literal accuracy of the views w presented three days ago to the public. The circular of the Circassian Chiefs forces pro minently on our recollection the deplorable imufli ciency of the Treaty of Paris at a point wheie British interests were directly involved. It re minds Europe how Turkey never had the coast of Circassia to cede to Russia, how the Porte possessed only a religious suzerainty over Circassia, and how for thirty years the Circassians had successfully, in the main, sustained their independence. Such was the position of the question when the war of 1853 broke out. Immediately the Allied fleets entered the Euxine, Russia buried her fleet in the harbour of Sevastopol, destroyed the forts she had occupied on the eastern coast, and retreated to her own ,erritory. During the premature Conferences of Vienna Lord John Russell at least had his attention fixed on this side of the Black Sea ; and would, had the Conferences come to anything, have required nego tiations to be based, not on the status quo ante bellum, which Lord Clarendon adopted at Paris, but on the existing status quo, involving the com plete abandonment by Russia of all pretensions to the coast of Circassia. At the Conferences of Paris, Lord Clarendon wholly and entirely neglected this subject. Prostrated as Russia then was, it is a matter of notoriety that her Plenipotentiaries would, had the representatives of England insisted on it, have agreed to such abandonment. It is matter of public scandal that Lord Clarendon never made it a condition of the Peace. The excuse is, that France had no interest in such a condition, and might not have supported England had she required it. But this excuse only makes matters worse, for it now impugns the good faith and loyalty of Ft ante at the very time when Lord Palmers+ori boasted that in all which related to the Peace the two Cabinets formed only one Government, and were but committees of the same organisation, one sitting in Paris, the other in London. Moreover, we have since seen, and now feel, that on points in which England has no immediate interest of any sort or kind Lord Palmerston makes no scruple in differing with France, and pursuing a policy which must, if persevered in, end in complete separation. Instead of pursuing, in this respect, the simple and safe course, by requiring Russia to resign and abandon all pretensions to the coasts of Cir cassia, the Treaty of Paris neutralised the Black Sea, forbade all hostilities in it, denied Rus-ia, the right of re-establishing arsenals or Military positions on its littoral, and declared its trade free at every harbour and for every nation. These were high-sounding stipulations ; as yet, however, they are mere empty words ; for no sooner was the Black Sea thus pronounced to be neutral, hostilities in it forbidden, Russia denied the right of fortifying its coast, and the trade of the Euxine thrown open to the world, than Russia im inteliately re-occupied the forts on the eastern coast, began to place them in the same military position they were in before she or the Allies blew them up, refused ttrfernite, consuls except where she pleased, -issued regulations which closed to trade not only her own ports, but those also which did not belong to her, and now dismisses, with a stroke of the pen, the obli g ations imposed on her at Paris. About these facts there is no doubt or controversy, and the policy out of which they arise is the desperate effort which Russia is now making to dominate over Persia by the conquest of the Caucasus. On the death of Nicholas a change of Russian policy, on this side at least, was expected. The new Ozer was described as a mild and beneficent sove reign, who saw and regretted the mistakes of his father ; as a Prince who would devote himself to the interval improvement of his country and the do mestic happiness of his people. The old Russian party disliked, it was said, this interminable war in Circassia which the German counsellor of the de ceased potentate had originated ; they mourned over the loss of sons and of serfs in its endless mortality ; they received no recompense in its successes for the treasure wasted on it; they saw that all the odium of the struggle fell on Russia, while all the glory and romance went to Circassia ; it was, they assured their English friends at German watering-places and It alien winter residences, costly, destruc 'dye, un popular, and it would, to their certain knowledge, be speedily abandoned. Their assurances or their expectations have, however, been falsified ; and the Circassian war is at this moment more vigorously and energetically carried on under the gentle Alexander than ever it was even by the obstinate Nicholas. Ths augmented perseverance is probably to be traced to two causes, for which our own Cabinet must be held primarily responsible: first, the obvious defect al ready noticed in the Treaty of Paris ; and secondly, the war into which England was recently plunged in Persia. If England will assail the independence of Persia from the East, we must expect Russia to retaliate from the West, and thus, between the rivalry of England and Russia, Persia is sure to suffer, and never to the advantage of England. Let us now see how Russia accounts for her dis regard of the Twelfth Article of the Treaty of Paris. Exactly as we supposed she would, she takes ad vantage of the provision as to regulations for qua rantine, customs, and police, to prevent consuls being appointed and to exclude commerce. It does not appear from the Protocols of the Conferences of Paris, who proposed this provision. It is, how ever, certain that Lord Clarendon agreed to it with out a remark, notwithstanding the experience of the previous 30 years had shown it was by such regulations that Russia carried out her aggressive and exclusive policy in the Euxine. Now surely, if experience of the past be any guide for the regu lation and safety of the future, this was precisely the kind of subterfuge to be guarded against and prevented. Lord Clarendon did nothing of the sort ; he accepted, with all the simplicity of a dove, that which Russia proposed with all the wisdom of the serpent. The consequence, as an infant might have anticipated, is, that the Twelfth Article, which was meant to control Russia, and to give England and France securities for the neutrality and pacific character of the Black Sea, affords Russia an oppor tunity of completely dominating the eastern coast, of excluding all commerce, and of more easily than ever carrying on a savage and remorseless war against Circassia. There is no concealment of object, or attempt at delusion in the notice issued by the Russian Embassy at Constantinople. " Free from any impediments," says the Twelfth Article of the Treaty of Paris, " commerce in the ports and waters of the Black Sea shall be subject only to regulations of health, customs, and police, framed , in a spirit favourable to the development of com mercial transactions." "In consequence," says the Russian Notice, "of the internal state of the provinces of the Caucasus," three ports only can be opened at present. If, hereafter, circumstances shall permit the esta blishment of customs and quarantine authori ties at other points of the coast, where foreign vessels can be admitted, due notice will be given of the fact. In the meantime the approach to the ports, bays, and harbours, with the exception of the three abovementioned, is interdicted to foreign vessels." If this be not a most substantial breach of the Treaty of Paris, it is difficult to say what can be a violation of it. The neutralisation and commercial freedom of the Engine were principles embodied in that Treaty. But here a power is assumed by Russia to use the Black Sea to carry on military operations against Circassia, and to close the eastern ports, "in consequence of the internal state of the provinces of the Caucasus." So that the fulfilment of the Eleventh and Twelfth Article of the Treaty of Rids is made to depend, not on liberal regulations as to health, customs, and police, as the Treaty con t em pl a t e d, but on the conquest of Circassia by Russia, Until that conquest is INDIA. REFORM. A public meeti■g was held last evening at St. Martin's Hall, to consider the condition of India and the work ing of the "double Government." Lord Bury, M.P., was in the chair. There were present Mr. Roebuck, M.P., Mr. Otway, Mr. Mead, Mr. Morris, Mr. E. Jones, &c. There was by no means a full attendance in the body of the room. The CHAIRMAN stated the object for which the meet ing had been convened, and observed that the recent mutinies in India were not the immediate came of call- ing the present meethig on the subject of the govern ment of India, as the question had been agitated for years. In the House of Commons Mr. Kinnaird had moved for an inquiry into the subject of landed tenures, and Sir E. Perry had brought forward fiscal questions relating to India, while in the House of Lords Lord Albemarle had moved for an inquiry into the system of torture practised in that country. The subject, there- fore, of the government of India was not new to the people of this country. Mr. ROEBUCK then came forward to move the first resolution. He said—My Lord Bury, we have met here for a very important purpose. Other countries have been pleased to devolve the government of their affairs either to one man or to a few men, but to Englishmen it has seemed fit that they should take the government of their own affairs into their own hands; and, although we do devolve the power of the Government to a certain number of persons, who meet in certain houses in West. minster, yet it does happen that the people of this coun try do take upon themselves to express their own opinion and to inform their representatives what those opinions are. We are now doing what I have just descsibed. We are about to tell the governing classes of this country what the people of England think about the Government of India. We are met for that purpose, and I think we are engaged in an important task. I have therefore considered i; my duty to come among you on the present occasion. Although it happens that I am cue of those who meet in that celebrated house in Westminster, yet I do believe there are occasions when it behoves the pecple of this country to speak out, for there is something in the atmosphere of that house which every now and then deadens all English feeling, and requires the voice and hearts of the people to inspire those who sit there with the feelings of Englishmen. I believe that at this moment there is abroad a feeling in England with regard to India which hag never been equalled since England was England. We have acquired a dominion there such as the world never has seen. Even Rome in her patmiest days possessed not an empire equal to ours. That ern ire has been attained by the hardihood, the sagacity, and the great qualities of the people of England. We owe it not to any of the cii , tinguished classes. The clerk from the desk, the great Clive, was the founder of the empire of England in India. The population of that em pire, according to the last accounts, amounts to about 200 millions of inhabitants, all of whom are under our rule. Of the wealth of that country I will net now speak. But having acquired dominion over such an empire, it becomes our duty to exercise that dominion upon prin ciples of fairness to those millions whom we have subju gated. We• came to their shores a trading company, and we pretended to enter into a mere trading correspond ence with them. But it has so happened that from that time to this we have been anaggressive people. We have however, whatever, the means, acquired dominion in India. For the happiness of the great mass of the people I believe that that dominion provides in a far greater de• gree than their own native Governments. For the mass of the governed the Government of India by England is a blessing; hut, though it be a blessing, still I believe our power has been acquired by unjust means. In ac knowledging that, as I at once do, I also acknowledge that upon the people of England there weighs a great responsibility. It is our duty now, having acquired possession of that country, so to govern it that in the eyes of God and man we may stand justified as its rulers. Bet it must be confessed that from the time of our first acquisition to the present moment great faults have been committed in the government of that country, and great injustice has been inflicted upon its inhabitants. Let rne, however, distinguish. The great mass of the inhabitants of India have derived vast benefit from the government of England ; but there is a governing class, and they have been bowed down by the superior power of England. They are are our enemies, and will be our enemies to the last. This governing class, if left to them selves would be the curse of the great body of the people. We stand in the position of these governing classes, and we have to distinguish ourselves from them, and by the qualities of our rule to justify our dorninion. How, then, have we acted ? For many long years the East India Company was a trading body. It then pleased hisr. Pitt, who was the great political opponent of Mr. Fox, to bring in his India Bill. Mr, Fox had endeavoured to make the Government of India a Parliamentary Govern ment. There was then ruling a man called George and he bated Parliamentary dominion, and believed that if India was given up to Parliamentary rule be would he the slave of Parliament. In oonjunotion, therefore, with Mr. Pitt, he cajoled the people of England into believing that Mr. Fox intended great injury to him. Mr. Fox was accordingly turned out, and Mr. Pitt then brought in his India Bill ; and what did he propose ? Mr. Pitt was an acute and cpaick. witted man, and, having got the directors of the East India Company to aid him in dis charging Mr. Fox, be turned round upon his associates and made in reality a Parliamentary Government of India ; but he made it so in such a.fashion as to do away with all possible chance of any good arising therefrom. He made it in the form of which the resolution speaks. He formed what is called the double Government. The Court of Directors down in Leadenhall-street were to be controlled by a board meeting in Cannon-row. At the head of that board is the president thereof. He is the real ruler of India. He can do exactly as he pleases. The Court of Directors are bound to obey him, and they do obey him. But then they play that game which children de scribe as "It is no child of mine." If anything happens amiss, the Board of Control says —" I am not answerable —and the Court of Directors say—" We are not answer able—and the Governor-Generalof India says—" I am not answerable." So that by dividing the responsibility, and at the same time concentrating the power, the Pre sident of the Board of Control becomes the irresponsible ish wr b e y our say resolutiongovernor p n a d s i s a . t h T s h e a s t a i s t a i r s e upon aft i w s h m i c e h e t w in e g w . if India is to he governed well the Government must be responsible, and for that reason I mean to propose—first, that the Board of Directors be entirely done away with. (Hear.) If we accomplish that good object we will then In the place of these I world erect a single man, and go one step further, and destroy the Board o f C ontrol. would call him " the Secretary of State for In d ia , " and upon him I would concentrate all the respon sibilit y . Let me distinguish. There are two very different purpo, es for which all legislation for India is concerned. The first is the establishing of a machinery in England by which to concentrate responsibility here—the getting up of a feeling among the people of England to act upon the governing body in India. For that purpose the Legisla ture needs no further inquiry. We can do it at once, and I was going to say for ever. Bet there is a further object—namely, to frame resolutions embodying prin ciples by which India should be governed, and framing a machinery in India by which these resolutions may be carried into effect. In order to begin these legislative improvements we must do away with the Court of Direc tors and the B )ard or Control. Having done that, and having created a Secretary of State for India, the Hous e of Commons will then be bound to inquire into the best way of governing that country. That brings me to the question, namely, on what principles ought we to base our Indian Government, and by what machinery can we carry those principles into effect. Having got a Secre tary of State for India, we should have a Government in India. I would propose for the three Presidencies— Bea,gal, Madras, and Bombay, that there should be three governors as at present, but that all the Presidencies should be governed by a municipal body, so that English men in India should govern themselves as far as the condition of the country would permit ; for the condition of India as compared with all other colonies is peculiar. All other colonies are foimed by Englishmen. They go out from this country and carry with them the feelings, the language, the customs, the character, and the capaci ties of Englishmen. The best thing you can do for a colony so formed is to allow it to govern itself. In fact, they carry out a little England. The colony grows up and becomes a great community, and it is best governed by being self-governed. But India is a very different thing. We go there as conquerors. We find a race differing from ourselves in language, in religion, in arts, in everything. There is an actual type of the character of the Indian to be seen in the tiger—the soft, velvetty paw, the beautiful line of grace in all its movements; but death lurks under that paw ; cruelty such as the heart can hardly conceive dwells in that breast. (blear.) I ask you, all of you who have read of the deeds of the. last two months, whether your hearts have not con tracted, your cheek turned pale, and your breath gone away at the horrors perpetrated upon your countrymen and country women ? Hear) Do you believe that Englishmen in the wildest fury that belong to such men could have done such deeds ? Oh, no (Cheers.) I cannot believe that there is a man in England that would have perpetrated any one of the horrors that I have read of. (lie ,r.) But I was feebly describing the difference between the character of the Hindoo and an English man. Englishmen can govern themselves; Hindoos cannot. Having acquired dominion of Hindostan, the government of that country devolves upon England, and England alone, and not upon the people of Hindostan. If you were to treat them as you would Englishman, if you were to give them institutions of self-government, and then leave them to themselues, there would be intermin able anarchy, confusion, and horror. England must, then govern India, and must establish there English ideas and English principles. Having, then, to govern India with English feelings, the question is by what machinery shall we govern them so as to do it with justice to the natives. The first thing is that there must be perfect liberty as regards religion. I don't mean that you are to foster the prejudices, the ignorancee, and the abominations of the Hindoo religion. No such thing. But I would allow every man to follow the light of that season which God has given him. You have , to sot a good example by your enlightened religious principles, and having esta blished perfect freedom on that point I would require you to make the religion of the government of India the
