The essential object of this treatise is to point out the fearful con-
equences resulting from certain habits, irregularities, and excesses,
thich have produced more misery in Youth, degradation in Man-
iced, and premature decay at all stages of Life, than, perhaps, any
ther class of disease known to modern pathologists. Its perusal is
)articularly recommended to persons entertaining secret doubts of
their physical condition, and who are conscious of having hazarded
the health, happiness, and privileges to which every human being is
entitled.

- It is absolutely necessary that all men should know, that there are
rinciples of personal management which cannot be violated without
incurring grievous penalties, and when wisdom and regret succeed
to heyday of inconsiderate self-indulgence, how these penalties
nay be mitigated, hew the sting of their bitterness may be removed,
end how the evil and its consequences may be avoided, and above all,
that there is scarcely any degree of physical infirmity or functional
terangemont to which the timely aid of science cannot apply a care.
the Author has for a series of years been engaged in an extensive
sractice in the treatment of these delicate complaints, which have
intortmately been too generally confided tc the care of ignorant
empirice, who inflict great injury on those who are induced to place
faith in their pretensions. _ _

DESPATCH FROM SIR WM. CODRINGTON.
(From the Supplement to the London Gazette of
Tuesday.)
•
WAR. DEPARTMENT, Nov. 27.
Lord Panmure has this day received a despatch
and its inclosures, of which the following are
copies, addressed to his lordship by Sir William
Codrington

Sebastopol, Nov. 13.

My Lord,--Having so lately assumed the command
of the army I have not sufficient materials, nor do I
consider it necessary, to write a separate despatch.
The return of the troops from the expedition against,
Kinbourn was announced to your lordship by electrio
telegraph on the 3d instant.
I do myself the honour to transmit the copies of re-
ports received from Brigadier-General Hon. A. Spencer,
'Diving a more detailed account of the proceedings of the
force under his command than be had hitherto been able•
to make, and two reports from Brigadier-General Lord
George Paget, with an account of two reconnaissances
that were made by the allied cavalry from Eupatoria.—
I have, &c.,

W. CODRINGTON, General Commanding.
The Lord Panmere, &c.

(Enclosure 1.)

Her Majesty's Ship Royal Albert,
Off Sebastopol, Nov. 4.

Sir,—ln reporting the return of the expeditionary
and force under my command from Einbouin, I am now
mabled to make, for the information of the Commander-
in-Chief, a more ample report of their proceedings than
n my previously hurried despatch I was able to do.
The landing of the troops, three miles from Binbourn
U'ort, was effected without opposition on the 15th of
October. Owing to a heavy surf there was considerable
lifficulty in it, but the infantry were all on shore by
eleyen o'clock (it commenced at eight a.m.), and from
the activity of the Royal navy employed the cavalry and
Inost of the artillery were landed in the course cf the
lay, though the first portion of the commissariat was
Ally landed, and with great difficulty, on the evening of
he second day.
The whole force was very shortly in position. The
)rdera I had received from the French General Bazaine
rere, to protect with the English troops the right flank
from any attack the enemy might make for the relief of
the garrison from Nicolaieff or Cherson ; whilst the
French line was to be in our rear, but facing the fort.
The ground I occupied was about a mile in extent; the
egiments were deployed into line, every advantage being
taken of the nature of the ground, which was undulating.
The tents were pitched in the rear of the battalions as
they arrived from the landing-place. The regiments were
employed immediately after landing in entrenching their
)vin fronts, thus making our general line of field works
`ma the sea on either side. A work was also thrown
al) in the course of the following day, on the left flank of
,the line, to be occupied by field pieces or by ship guns,
should the fort not fall immediately. The nature of the
ground rendered any assistance from the allied gun
boats impossible.

The French had hastily thrown up a place crafted in
rear of our right, from which a re-embarkation, if neces-
sary, might have been satisfactorily accomplished.
The bombardment from the ships oommenoed on the
afternoon of the nth, but from the state of the weather,
it was discontinued ; and on the 16th they were unable
to resume it from the same cause.

Ry the morning of the 17th the field works thrown up
by the troops were, as far as circumstances would per-
of, very defensible, although too extensive. The
iutlying pickets had also thrown up small entrenchments
at their respecti►e posts ; that morning at daybreak I
made a reconnaissance with the detachments of French
and English cavalry and the 57th Regiment. The
weather becoming thick the infantry returned after a
,uarch of four miles out. The cavalry preceeded to
the village of Paksoffka, a few miles further, which
they found deserted. At ten a.m, the ships opened
are, and at three o'clock the forts surrendered, with
about 1,400 prisoners; 17 officers and 739 men were
riven ever to me by General Bazaine, and were sub-
sequently sent on board her Majesty's ship Vulcan, to
proceed to Constantinople. On the following morning
the forts at Ochakoff were blown up by the enemy.
French and English commissioners were appointed for
L the taking over the materiel found in the forte of Kin-
bourn, and for the temporary division of the place. On the
19th I moved the English camp to the immediate neigh-
bourhood of the fort, and occupied the southern shore;
the ground is here nearly level with the sea, and so per-
featly smooth that it is easily protected by ships on both
tanks. On the 20th the English force, with the exception
of the 21st Regiment, who were left to do the duties at
Kinbourn, joined the French in a reconnaissance under
Gen. Bazaine. The troops carried three days' provisions,
and the commissariat were able to carry three more. We
halted and bivouacked that night at the village of Pak-
soffka, about eight miles' march of sandy soil. The French
occupied a village at a short distance. We had no tests,
but the weather was fine, and there was plenty of wood
and hay, and a large supply of cabbages and other
vegetables. The inhabitants had all loft. On the 21st
halted. •The following day, with the cavalry, artillery,
and three battalions, I accompanied General Bazaine,
with a part of the French force, to the village of Ska-
doffka, about five or six miles ; country very open, with
occasionally deep sand ; always plenty of water in the
villages. Having burnt the village we returned that day
to Paksoffka. The detachment of Carabineere, under
Captain Wardlaw, had pushed on by my direction to a
village about three miles further, where they found in-
habitants, who told them that some Russian cavalry had
left them that morning.
On the 23d the whole force returned to Kinbourn. On
the march our rear was threatened by about 250 of the
enemy's cavalry, who, however, soon retired. On the
27th the cavalry and artillery were embarked, and on
the 30th the whole of the infantry, to return to the
Crimea, leaving French troops to garrison the fort.
I cannot speak too highly of the assistance I have re-
oeived from the co-operation and counsel of Admiral Sir
Edmund Lyons, and of the support afforded me by him
and the officers of the Royal navy under his command,
to whose excellent arrangements, for the landing and
re-embarkation of the troops, I have been much indebted.
I beg to assure the Commander-in-Chief of the great
satisfaction I have felt in serving under the orders of
General Bazaine in this expedition.
I have received every assistance from Col. Hurdle,
Royal Marines, who commanded a brigade (2 battalions
Royal Marines and 63d Regiment) 500 marines were
added, through the consideration of Sir Edmund Lyons,
to this force.

Also from Col. Lord West, 21st Fusiliers, command-
ing a brigade (17th, 20th, 21st, and b7th Regiments),
who mentions his brigade-major, Capt. Earle, 57th Regi-
ment, and his aide-de-camp, Capt. Carleton, 21st Fusi-
liers. Col. Hurdle mentions Capt. Rodney, Royal Ma-
rines, and Capt. Ellis, Royal Marines, his brigade-major
and aide-de-camp.

I was also ably supported by Brevet Major Best, corn-
mandirg Royal Engineers; Captain Johnson, command-
ing Royal Artillery ; Captain Wardlaw, commanding
detachment 6th Dragoon Guards; Brevet-Major Gordon,
commanding 17th Regiment ; Capt. Gray, commanding
