who has exclusively, and for many years, devoted his studies to the
treatment of these complaints. ,He may be consulted with advan-
tage by all those whose constitutions may have become debilitated
through secret practices acquired in youth, or by the excesses of
later years, whereby the pleasures of life are marred, the objects of
marriage frustrated, and existence itself rendered a term of unceas-
ng misery and regret.

OVERLAND MAIL

INDA.
(From thia Ti4tes.)
We have received
,by express from Marseilles our
dispatched from India`in anticipations of the overland
mail which left nombay on the 3cl of Januw,,
The following is the letter of our edidtlegMent at
that Presidency :

" BOMBAY, JAN. 3, 1852.
" The present cold season promises to find lig qt.-
cupation for our armies all along the line of the north-
west, and most probably in Burmah also, if we may
judge from. present appearances., From Peshawur
along to Dhera Ismael Khan the tribes are either in
arms or preparing to take them up against us, and a
general rising seems to be meditated. The Khyrpore
Ameer, too, seems inclined to rush on his fate. Al-
together the prospect of war being clime at ,hand is
pretty certain, and it is the Universal belief that stir-
ring events will occur during the ensuing three
months. On the frontier a,couple of skirmishes have
already taken place. A detachment at a place called
Mute, four miles from the outpost of Shubkudr. and
to the north-east of Dubb, where the force of Sir C.
Campbell has for some time inactive, was at-
tacked by a large body
,of Pllo42ands on the 8.11 of
December. Our party ',lst.; of a number of the
Guide Corps, under. Lie er, a detail of ar-
tillery under Lieutenant,. m an& the d Punjab
Cavalry, the'whole commanded judicioni-
of the latter corps. The enemy are said to have num-
bered 4,000 foot and 100 horse, at the head of whom
were two chiefs : one-fourth these numbers would,
probably, be nearer the true strength of the force of
the enemy. They appear have thought of taking our
men by surprise, but the reception they met with
quickly made them fly.
"The Lahore Chronicle says:--

" ' Their object was et first to tern the rear of the
village, and they seemed to heed but little the firing of
Lieutenant Simeon's guns, which opened upon them.
They were, however, somewhat more alive to the
attention of a party of the Guides, who were first posted
near the village, and then occupying some nullahs to
the rear, rushed on the enemy from one to another in
excellent style. The Momunds did not approve of this
mode of warfare, and retreating much faster than they
came on, at last ran outright, the guns doing good exe-
cution as they fled. In an hoar the plains were clear of
the enemy, who took up a position on some low sand-
hills at no great distance, where they remained all the
afternoon, going off .entirely towards evening. They
passed close enough to Subkudr to admit of the garrison
opening their fire on them. The loss of.the Momunds
was variously estimated at from 8 to 12 killed and 6
wounded. The Guides had one man slightly wounded,
and a sower of Jackson's Irregulars, who were too late
in the field to pursue the enemy with effect, was struck
on the head with a spent ball. It is said that two of the
chiefs of the Momunds, named Nawab Khan and Shaikh
Abdoola, were both in the fray, and bore themselves
very gallantly. A round shot tell between the legs of
the horse of the latter, but did not induce bins to move
from his then position.'
" The force under Sir C. Campbell had not been
molested further than by small parties of the enemy 1
descending from the hills on the camels and cattle
while out grazing, several of which they had suc-
ceeded in carrying off. The fort at Dubb was pro-
ceeding rapidly, end till it was completed the General
did not intend commencing offensive operations. The
enemy were collecting in large numbers in his neigh-
bourhood in the hills. He had been reinforced by
Waller's troop of horse artillery and some cavalry
and infantry. A wing of her Majesty's 53d, under
Colonel Mansfield, while on its way to join his camp
had been directed to proceed to Mutts, where they
arrived on the 9th. The force at Peshawur were on
the alert night and day, and the whole of the artillery
had been recalled to the station from their practice
ground at Churnkunie. I formerly mentioned the
murder of Messrs. Carne and Tapp, of the salt reve-
nue department on the frontier, by a party of natives
in the Hazereh. The unfortunate gentlemen had
been advised by Major Abbott to take a guard with
them, but they had omitted doing so. The business
on wnich they had gone having been performed, they
were on their way back when they were surrounded
at a place called Moozufferghur. Mr. Tapp was
for fighting their way with the few armed
followers who accompanied them, but the
treacherous natives promised them so solemnly
that no harm would befall them if they gave up
their arms that Mr. Came unfortunately persuaded
his companion to avoid bloodshed. They accordingly
gave up their arms, and had no sooner done so than
they were set on by the wretches, and cruelly mur-
dered by being stoned to death. The murderers were
demanded of the chief of Am, whose subjects they
were, and after considerable evasion on his part 28
men were given up to Major Abbott; but it turns
out that they had had no hand in the murder, but
had been seized merely because they belonged to the
same tribe as the murderers, who had never been ap-
prehended by the chief at all. The prisoners would
most probably be released by Mr. John Lawrence on
his arrival at Hazareh, for which place he was on his
way from the Eusofzsie district. Major M'Gregor
had returned to Lahore and resumed his duties. The
Hon. Mr. Thomason, whose arrival at Lahore I men-
tioned in my last, quitted that city on his return to
Agra on the 12th. Lieutenant Barker,
Ma-
jesty'B 96th Regiment, died of her
at Anarkullee on the
12th; and Colonel J. G. Drummond, Quartermaster-
General of the Bengal
w, Gomm, on the 11th of
army, in the camp of Sir
Chief was last heard of at
December. The Com-
mander-in- Pukha Serai
on the 17th, and was looked for at Rawul Pindee
on the 20th. It has frequently been affirmed that
these excursions of the Commander-in-Chief to the
frontier are looked on with alarm by the tribes,
who cannot divest themselves of the idea that he
makes his appearance in their vicinity merely to fight
and slay them, and that they are induced to take up
arms, and even a m
ssue the offensive in sheer self-
defence, whenever they hear he is approaching. The
troops of Dost Mabomed are said to be moving down
on Jellalabad and the Khyber; but so many idle
rumours have been spread abroad regarding the old
Ameer and his doings, that no faith can be placed in
present reports. Toe Dost has no love for us—we
never gave him cause to entertain any—but he will
not embroil himself with US, unless he has some hopes
of assistance more to be relied on than that to be
looked for from the Hill tribes, who cannot even now
quarrelling
keep from with each other.
~ Mr. Barnes, Commissioner at Lahore, had gone
out into the districts on
circuit ; and Mr. Edg.
worth, who had been on a visit to the capital, had
left to resume hie duties at Moulton. The garrison
of this latter. place had not, op to the latest date,
moved towards Khrypore, and
it is probable they
will not stir at all, as an ample force has been
directed to assemble at Roree from Sukkur and
From the former,Kurrachee. the 4th company,
4th battalion, of Artillery, the 2d Sinde Horse,
and the 15th Native Infantry ; and from the latter
a company of e i
st troop of Horse
artillery (Leslie' Sappers, the
s), the 64th Foot,
l and the Ist Grena-
dier Native Infantry have been ordered to assemble
side of the Indus, the
on the Roreewhole to be
under the command of Brigadier-General Manson,
with Colonel Stopfor3, of the 64tb, as Brigadier. On
the assembling of this force, Meer Ali
Moored will
be compelled to surrender the territory _
or ,
which he
gained possession by fraud, and be restricted to his
ancestral domains. Of these al so he will be stripped,
should he be insane enough to think of resisting the
demands of our Government, which is not at all
probable. By this time the Kurrachee brigade are
well on their way up, as they were to leave on the
28th and 29th.
" Mr. Frere had returned to Kurrachee, but was
to leave again in a short time for the upper country.
"Seventy lacs of old rupees (700,0001.) have just
arrived from the Punjab, via the Indus, to be recoined
in Bombay.
"A good deal of sickness prevailed at Hydrabad,
'
principally fever. The wing , of her
Majesty's 64th
Regiment had during their stay there lost 17 men,
7 women, and 26 children. The river had fallen un-
usuall, low, which had been the cause
.7 of the great
prevalence of fever. The troops at 4urrachee were
healthy, while at Sukkur there was
_much sickness.
" Nothing further has been beard from Rangoon.
Her Majesty's steamer Hermes has gone round to
that port from Calcutta, and Admiral Austin, in the f
Hastings, is said also to have sailed yore Singapore
for the same destination. Woe betide the city of
Rangoon should the naval force now in the Irra-
wady be called on to open on it ; a few broadsides
from the Hastings, Fox, Serpent, and four armed
steamers would soon make it too hot for its inha-
bitants. It is expected that troops from Madras will
be sent round should a land force be required, and
that the command will be conferred lr Brigadier-
General Steele—an able and accomplis ed officer.
"Matters are daily becoming more critical at the
capital of the Nizam. His Highness's debt has not
yet been entirely liquidated, 310,0001. remaining to
be paid us, and the bankers refuse to advance money
to the Minister. A monetary crisis has taken place
in the city, and credit has fallen to a very low ebb.
The Nizam will not pay, and it is probable our Go-
vernment will not allow themselves much longer to
be trifled with ; appropriation of territory, in liqui-
dation of our claim will, after all, most likely take

the King gives himself up to debauchery,
place. The state of affairs in °tide is unsatisfac•
tort' ;
and corruption in his ministry is loudly own-
plained of.
"Colonel Outram is now in Bombay, where he
will remain till he has seen some particular business
settled, when he proceeds home on sick leave.
" With the exception of Sir E. Perry, all the meg-
Wes of the Presidency are now amongst us, and
gaiety everywhere prevails.
" Sir John Grey and staff return to Mahabulesh-
war in March, and it is probable Lord Falkland will
move in the same direction about the 'fame time.
" Captain T. Minster, of the 11th Nativ'e Infantry,
died at Bombay on the 20th of December; he had
just obtained a medical furlough to Europe.
" Surgeon• General Sinclair retires from the service
and from India to-day, after being upwards of thirty-
two years in the Bombay medical service. Dr. Don
now again becomes a superintending-surgeon.
" The Rev. Mr. Fletcher goes to Kurrachee as
senior chaplain. On the confirmation as archdeacon
of the Rev. Mr. Keay!, Mr. Fletcher will come to
Bombay as senior Presidency chaplain.
"Major Conway, C. 8., 22d Foot, who acted as
Deputy Adjutant-General during Colonel Havelock's
absence at home, returns to England by this evening's
steamer. He was universally well spoken of and
respected while holding the responsible appointment
from which he has just been relieved.
" Dr. Downes has been confirmed as Assay Master,
and Dr. Collum as deputy, in the Bombay Mint.
" Mr. J. M: Davie!, C.S.t late agent at Angria's
Cplsl .will, .it is %id, succeed Colonel Outram as
Resident of BaiOai, eu 7ej better teleollop eould
not have been made.

" Captain Sir G. Parker, magistrate at Meerut, is
going home en furlough.
" The Governor-General is looked for at Calcutta
by the middle of the present month.
" Cornet G. A. Franklyn, of the 14th Dragoons,
died suddenly at Meerut, from disease of the heart,
on the 18th of December.

" The booty captured at Mooltan and Chineesut in
1849 has been ordered to be shared out to the army
of the Punjaub. It amounts to 130,9921. in all, but
from it has to bs deducted the amount of the six
months' donation batta given to the army on the ter-
mination of the campaign ; the residue for distribu-
tion will thus be very small indeed.

" The Lahore prize money question is again being
discussed, and a petition to her Majesty in Council
on the subject has been prepared.
" Colonel Garden is to succeed Colonel Drummond
as Quartermaster-General, Bengal Army.
" Messrs. Pidcock and F. H. Robinson, and E. P.
Thompson, the two former of the Bengal and the
latter of the Madras civil service, have resigned.
"Colonel Low has resumed his duties in B,ajpoo-
tans, having returned from leave from Simla.

" Largo quantities of Manganese ore have been
found near Vizagapatam and Atirzapore.

" Captain Est—riage, garrison engineer at Bombay,
goes home in March ; he will probably be succeeded
by Major Kilner.
" Captain Thornbury, Secretary, Bombay Military
Board, has retired; he has been succeeded by Cap•
tain C. D. Mylne, who has been long acting for him.
" General Staveley was at Deese, reviewing the
troops.

"Mr. W. Harrington, Madras civil service, has
been appointed registrar of marriages for that Pre
sideney, under the new Act.
" The number of deaths in Bombay during De-
cember was 1,152 of which 218 were from cholera,
and 15 from violence. In November the deaths only
numbered 793, only 28 being from epidemic diseases.
" Trade at Bombay has during the fortnight been
tolerably active, but at rates for piece goods far from
favourable. The money market continues easy, and
the Bank's rates of interest and discount are con-
siderably lower than usual at this season of the year.
Freights. are 21. to 50s. per ton to Liverpool and Lon-
don respectively. Exchange, 2s. 14d. per rupee.
" The gallant Ensign Bennet, who received an un-
attached commission for planting the colours of his
corps on the walls of Moultan, has been attached
to the Ist Fusiliers till further orders. Sir John
Grey deserves the highest praise for this, as it will
no doubt lead to the abolition of the absurdity
hitherto practised of merely conferring unattached
commissions on deserving soldiers of the Company's
army, who are actually losers by promotion to the
rank of ensign.
" P.S. The papers received this morning supply
the following items:--Mr. R. V. Dayne was on the
24th ult. admitted to the Calcutta bar. The survey
of Calcutta had been recommenced. The head-
quarters of the Artillery are to be removed from
Dum Dum to Meerut. Lieutenant MacLeod, 40th
M.N.I , has been sentenced to dismissal from the ser-
vice for having falsely stated that he had called a
brother officer (Lieutenant Dale) a coward. The
sentence is remitted at the recommendation of the
Court. Lieutenant Buchannan, 4th M.L.C.,
is sen-
tenced to three months' suspension for insolence to
his commanding officer. Ensign Ryves,l9th M.N.1.,
tried for having neglected to redeem his promise given
in a bond for debt, and acquitted. Ensign Lugard
died of cholera at Madras on the 26th of December.

and Captain Dobbs, of the Chittledroog division, have
been ordered to exchange appointments. Major Fitz-
gerald, 2d Bengal Cavalry, died at Deyrah Dhoon

8.N.1., and Assistant-Surgeons Campbell and Miles,
have obtained medical furloughs to Europe; and
Captain E. P. Bryant, 68th 8.N.1., has inualided.
Mr. T. Taylor is about to resign the Bengal Civil
Service."
