The e vential object of this treatise is to point out the fearful con-

hich 'lave produced more misery in Youth, degradation in Man-
cod, asd premature decay at all stages of Life, than, perhaps, an:,

articularly recommended to persons entertaining secret doubts o,
their physical condition, and who are conscious of having hazardeli
the he a'th, happiness, and privileges to which every human being is
entitled:
It is absolutely necessary that all men should know, that there ar,
ainciples of personal management which cannot be violated withou,

ne heyday of inconsiderate self-indulgence, how these penalties
lay be mitigated, how the sting of their bitterness may be removed,
nd how the evil and its consequences may be avoided, and above all,
at there Is scarcely any degree of physical infirmity or functional
ierangement to which the timely aid of science cannot apply a cure.

THE MEDITERRANEAN.

We read in the Courrier de Marseilles of the
29th inst.:—.

The quantity of war materiel daily conveyed to
our port by the railway and the Rhone steamers
is truly incredible. The quays of La Joliette
are literally covered with mountains of bombs
of every Size, mortars, and enormous siege guns.
Independently of the transports chartered for the
purpose, every large steamer leaving with troops car-
ries,
on an7average, 1,000 tons of materiel. Gunpowder
for the army in the East is daily received in large quan-
tities. Since the beginning of the war 7,500,000 tons
weight were shipped in our port. The following vessels
are now loading, and will shortly proceed to the seat of
war :—The English steamer Armenian, which is to take
on board 80 men, 78 horses, and between 200 and 300
tons of materiel ; the American clipper Liliiers, 400
troops and materiel ; the steam-packet Provence, 100
men and 80 horses ; the clipper Eliza, 400 men and ma-
teriel ; the steamer Sully, 200 men a,nd materiel ; the
English steamer Great Northern, 100 men and 80
horses ; the clipper Bread of Seed, 500 troops and ma-
teriel ; the Sardinian steam-packet Count de Cavour,
150 men and as many horses, Sc. Yesterday a large body
of troops left the port of La Joliette. The two splendid
Folgiish st!amers Alma and Candia, having in tow the
Mary Ann and E va tramp orts„ embarked about 4,000 men.
This spectacle had attracted on a pier an immense
crowd of people, who followed the operations with in-
tense interest. The band of the 84th Regiment, which
was on bear] the Alcoa, performed its gayest sympho-
nies during the embarkation. When the vessas weighed
anchor the spectators cheered our soldiers with the most
sympathetic acclamations. Cries of Vive l'Empereur
energetically raised from the four vessels responded to
the shouts of the population. The 84th Regiment of
the Line forms, with the Ist Regiment of the Line,
which sailed the day before yesterday, a brigade under
the commandoi Genarul Bospiet, Ny.ho tool; his delartura

yesterday in the Euphrates, with 500 or 600 men. en the
same day the splendid English steamer Parana, and the
gigantic American clipper Queen of Clippers, returned
from the East, with 700 military passengers. We have
just learned that Captain Magnan arrived at Messina in
the Cygne, Rhone steamer, on the 22d, 40 hours after her
departure from Civita Vecchia. This small vessel had
to contend against a heavy side sea, and, nevertheless,
she reached the port with her hold perfectly dry. By the
Carmel, which arrived yesterday, we learn that the Cygne
had continued her voyage, and was met off the lonian
Islands."

SPAIN.

The Madrid journals of the 26th August have
arrived. A royal decree in the Gazette dis-
solves the Consulting Junta on Colonies, and
enacts that a new one of thirty members shall
be nominated, but shall not be paid for their
services ; also, that the Minister of M trine shall
be president of the Junta, and General de la
Concha, Marquis del Duero, vice-president of it.
The Gazette announces that it has been determined
to establish a Central School of Agriculture at
Aranjuez. The 26th being Sunday, the Stock
Exchange was not open. A letter of the 27th, re-
ceived in advance of the regular mail, says :
" The Gazette publishes a royal decree which enacts that
railway shares shall he accepted for their full value in
any guarantees which it may be necessary to give to the
Government. The Captain General of Burgos has disco-
vered that the Carlists have formed a plot to assassinate
him. Two of the proposed assassins were recently arrested,
but he had the generosity to pardon them. The news
from Catalonia is not so favourable—the Carliet chief
Tristany, at the head of 50 men, bad appeared in the
neighbourhood of Licalada ; and another, named Borges,
has disarmed a detachment of the Vittoria regiment,
consisting of a captain and 30 men."

WOOLLEN TRADE.

(Front the Leeds Mercury of titis day.)

LEEDS, Sept. I.—Since our last monthly report there
has been no change of any importance in the woollen cloth
trade. There has been a good steady trade done in the
warehouses during the month that has just passed. A
regular succession of buyers have been in the town from
nearly all parts of the country, as well as the principal
ones from London, Glasgow, and Manchester ; and we
believe we are correct in reporting the transactions to
be quite satisfactory in extent and fully equal to the cor-
responding month in last year. We have no alteration
to report in our export trade ; it continues dull and in-
active.

BRADFORD, Thursday.—The attendance at our market
to-day was more numerous than for some time past, an
increased activity was manifested, and business through-
out the day was rather animated. There was a
very fair demand for all descriptions of combing
wools, which remained firm at the prices recently cur-
rent. Noils and brokes were also in good request. The
prices of yarns had an upward tendency, and there was
decidedly more business transacted in this branch of the
trade than for many weeks of late.
HALIFAX, Friday Evening. There is no marked
change in the piece or yarn market this week, the latter,
perhaps, rather inclined to increased firmness. In the
long wool trade sales have been comparatively inactive,
but prices are extremely firm, and the feeling within
the last two or three days indicates the probability of ra-
ther enhanced quotations than otherwise.

RUSSIAN VERSION

OF THE

BATTLE OF THE TCHERNAYA.

The Invvalid• Busse gives the following version
of the Battle of the Tchernaya

" A report was received yesterday from Aide-
de-Camp General Prince Gortschakoff, dated Aug.
sth (17th), containing the following details, which
explain his short telegraphic despatch of the
same day.
" Desirous of turning away the enemy from
the siege-works of Sebastopol, and at the same
time to make sure of the forces of the Allies,
Prince Gortschakoff undertook an offensive move-
ment in the valley of the Tchernaya with a por-
tion of the troops encamped on Mackenzie heights.
"On the 4th (16th) of August, at 4 a.m.,
these troops divided themselves into two columns;
the right, commanded by Aide-de-Camp General
Read, took a front direction against the so-called
Fedukhine heights, and the left, commanded by
Lieut.-General Liprandi, advanced on Tchorgoun.
In a moment the two columns drove away the
enemy from the right bank of the Tchernaya.
Lieut.-General Liprandi occupied the heights of
Tchorgoun. On its side the right column ad-
vanced with extraordinary rapidity towards the
river, crossed it under the violent fire of the
enemy's batteries, then crossed a large canal of
the aqueduct, and carried on by the excitement
of battle advanced directly on the Fedukhine
heights.
"In the interval the enemy had already had
time to bring up considerable forces to the
menaced point of their fortified position. The
troops of the right column, who were scaling
the escarpment, met a desperate resistance there.
All the efforts of our brave infantry were fruitless.
Oa this occasion we suffered a disastrous loss.
General Read and the Chief of his Staff, Major-
General de Wein:tarn, were the first to fall.
" The Commander-in-Chief, however, hastened
up in all haste to the right column, and seeing
that our troops were wasting their heroic efforts
on that point ordered a retreat behind the
Tchernaya.*

"Having retired to about half-cannon range,
Prince Gortschakoff ordered his lines of battle
to halt, in the hope that the enemy would pursue
us and offer us the opportunity of fighting.them
iu the open field. The Allies, however, did not
stir from their positions ; after remaining four
hours in view of our adversaries our troops
quietly returned to Mackenzie heights.
" In announcing with grief the losses we have
suffered, Prince Gortschakoff at the same time
pays a tribute to the unexampled courage dis-
played by our troops in the sanguinary combat of
the 4th (16th) August, and he attributes the
losses to the excess of ardour of the right column.
" The enemy having driven back our attack
did not dare to take the offensive, despite its nu-
merical superiority."

* "At this moment Aide-de-Camp General Baron
Wrewsky, who was at the side of the Commander-in-
Chief was hit by a cannon=ball. A quarter of an hour
previously his horse had been shot und-ar him, but de-
spite the contusion he had then received, he had remained
by the side of Prince GortSchakoff."

The Rev. SAMUEL GREEN then moved :--
"That this meeting desires to express its sense of the
superiority of mutual fire insurance, as carried out by
the British Empire Company, to all other arrangements
for combining perfect security to the assured, with the
utmost economy ; and its confidence that a principle so
simple, intelligible, and self-recommending, must, so far
as it is known, command universal attention ; that it
cordially approves, therefore, of the plans of the direc-

NORFOLK.

The half-yearly meeting of this company was held yes-

chair.

The CHAIRMAN moved that the balance-sheet and
statement of receipts and expenditure, which had been
laid on the table, be approved. He said they had not
printed the capital account for the last two or three
years, simply because it had been practically closed, the
only addition daring the last half-year having been a
small sum of 101. for timber furnished six years ago,
but payment of which had never been applied for. The
revenue amount showed the traffic on the joint lines to
be 591,3551., as against 555,649/. for the like period of
last year, being an increase of 35,706/.
The motion for the approval of the balance-sheet,
was then agreed to.
The CHAIRMAN then moved that a dividend of 11. ss.
per share be declared, and also a dividend on the several
guaranteed stocks at the rates which they respectively
bear.
The resolution was unanimously adopted, and a vote

ing separated.

THE WAR IN ASIA.

The Invalide Busse publishes the following ex-
tract from a report of Aide-de-Camp General
Mouravieff, dated from the camp near the village
of Kerpi-Keuv, 24th of July (sth of August) :
" From the 10th to the 24th of July (31st of
July to the sth of August) a portion of the active
carps carried out at. offensive movement beyond
the Sa-4anloug under the command of Aide-de-
Camp General Mouravieff in persozi.
" The object of this operation was to disperse a
detachment of more than 14,000 men, with 32
guns, which under Vely-Pasha, occupied a forti-
fied position near Kerpi-Keuv, and thus to de-
prive the_larrison of Kall of the last
-hope of re-
ceiving succour from Erzeroum.
" On the 10th (31st) of July, leaving half his
orps before Kars, under the command of Lieut.-
General de Brummer, to maintain the blockade of
the place, General Mouravieff, with theremainder
of the troops under the command of Lieut.-Gene-
ral Kovalevsky, advanced in the direction of
Zevin, when our advanced guard arrived on the
evening of the same day.
" Simultaneously, With this Movement; Major-
General Sousloff, Commander of the Erivan De-
tachment, received orders to advance from Toprah-
Kal6 on Kerpi-Keuv, and to be on the 20th of
July (Ist of August) beyond the last incline of
Delibaba, 20 versts from Kerpi-Keuv, whence he
was to march on the 'enemy's position to take it
in the rear.

" On the 21st of July (2d of August) the ad-
vanced guard of the main column joined General
Sousloff's detachment near the village of Roman-
sour, and thence the two detachments advanced
towards the bridge over the Araxes. There they
came upon 4,000 irregular horse, who, after a
short skirmish, withdrew into their entrenched
camp. Without awaiting the attack of our troops
the Turks took advantage of a dark night, that
between the 21st and 22d July (2d-3d August),
to fall back on Erzeroum, abandoning the camp
and the very considerable amount Of provisions it
contained. The retreat was done in such haste
and disorder that in the course of one night about
2,000 irregular troops of the enemy disbanded.
" In their pursuit our advanced detachments
arrived within 15 veiste3 of Erzaroutn, where
Vely Pacha had shut himself up to await the re-
inforcements he expects.
" Having attained their object and deprived
the garrison of Kars of the possibility of receiving
support,- our troops commenced their retrograde
movement, Lieut.-General Kovalovsky on Kars,
and Major-Gen. Sousloff on Toprah-Kalo.
"Meantime Lieut.-General de Brummer, left
before are had transferred his detaoltrasut to

the village -of Komatnour ou the right bank of
the Kars-tchai, and on the 19th, 23d, 26th, and
28th of July (31st of July, 4th, ith, and 9th of
August) made four expeditions against the
enemy's foragers, each of which was crowned with
success ; on every point the parties were dis-
persed, and the proviSicalß they had collected fell
into our hands"

THE CRIMEA.

Tho Attract/ de St. Petersbourg publishes Prince
Gortschalmff's journal of the operations in the Crimea
to August 14, preceded by the following summary:
" On the 11th the besieger commenced a brisk can-
nonade with his batteries, concentrating his fire mainly
against the Karabelnaia.
'• The mining operations of the enemy in front of
bastion No. 4 (the Flagstaff) are limited on the part of
the enemy to explosions of mine chambers, which have
not done us any harm.
"The enemy continues laborious in the construction
of entrenchments near the Chersonesus church. His
approaches in front of his first line have made no pro-
gress. Tho opening of embrasures, in the facings
strengthened by his nearest trenches, against the bas
tions frum Malakhoff to the bay, shows that the besieger
intends forthwith to cannonade and bombard the
Karabelnaia with redoubled vigour.
"During the three days (from August 11 to 14) our
line of defence of Sebastopol has been strengthened by
three new batteries ; all damages in the works have been
repaired. Our rampart-artiliery replies actively and
successfully to the fire of the enemy.
" The subterranean war, temporarily suspended in
front of the bastion No. 4 (Flagstaff) assumes more acti-
vity in front of the Bastion No. 5 (Central), and the
Schwartz redoubt, where the enemy has begun to work,
but we have stopped his miners by carnouflets.
