The essential object of this treatise i 8 to point ont the fearful con-
,quences resulting from certain habits irtegularlties, and excesses,
vhich have pronuced more misery in Youth, degradation
„haps, any
in Man-
lood, and premature decay at all stages of Life, than, P
1 ather class of disease known to modern
entertaining secret athologists. It; dorsal is
,a.rticularly recommended to persons en
doubts of
,
;heir hazarded
eir physical condition, and who are conscious of having
s_. ~.,,,
the health, happiness, and privileges to which every human Dews is
entitled.
It is absolutely necessary thatall men should know, that there are
rinciples of personal management which cannot be violated without
, i earring grievous penalties, and when wisdom and regret succeed
he heyday of inconsiderate self-indulgence,
how these penalties
ay be mitigated, how the sting of their bitterness may be removed,
d bow the evil and its consequences may be avoided, and above all,
hat there is scarcely any degree of physical infirmity or nuictional
crangPment to which the timely aid of science cannot apply a cure.
rhea uthor has for a series of years been engaged in an extensive
aetice in tile treatment of these delicate complaints, which have
iefortunately been too generally confided to the care of ignorant
,mpirics, who inflict great injury on those who are induced to place
'ail h in their pretensions.

PRUSSIA.

BERLIN, Dec. 25.—1 t is known that Baron de
Budberg has already mado communications to M.
do Manteuffel on the contents of the answer ex-
pected by onr Cabinet on the subject of the notifi-
cation of the conclusion of the treaty of the 2d
December. It is said to be certain that Russia
will only repeat her declaration of the 28th of No-
vember—that is to say, that she will express her
readiness to accept simply the four points as the
basis of the negotiations to be followed ulteriorly.
We also learn that Count Buol has rejected, in a
formal manner, the complaint of several small Ger-
man Governments, that they were not made aware
of the conclusion of the treaty of the 2d of Decem-
ber, and that the right was not reserved to them
of taking part in the negotiations. Austria has
justified her conduct by giving notice that, as a
great Power, it was incumbent upon her to fulfil
other duties besides those due to the States of se-
condary rank.

THE BLOCKADE OF THE DANUBE.

A letter from Vienna, of the 24th, in the Leipsie
Gazette, says :
"Among the political notabilities who hate received
Austrian decorations may be remarked the Turkish
Civil Commissioner in the Principalities, Dervish Pacha,
who, it is said, has been made commander of the order
of Leopokl. A part of the garrison of Pestb-Ofen will
in a short time enter the Principalities, midair the com-
mand of Field-Marshal Baron de Dietrich. Several of
the neutral States have requested France and England
to raise the blockade of the mouths of the Danube ;
but these Powers have, it is said, refused to do so
from stratei;ic considerations, founded on th-e presence
of Russars troops and of the Russian floWla on the
banks of the Danube, in Bessarabia."

SALE OF RUSSIAN SHIPS.

The Russian prize Ernest Merk has been sold by pub-
lic auction at Hull, and realised a very good price.
The Court of Admiralty proceeds on the Bth of Jan.
to adjudicate on the prize Fran ciska and the other ves-
sels captured by her Majesty's cruisers for attempting to
break the blockade of the Russian ports in Om Gulfs of
Finland and Bothnia. ,

THE RUSSIAN PRISONERS.
The Russian prisoners taken out of merchant ships
captured by the Queen's cruisers, who were on board
the Devonshire prison-ship at Sheerness, having given
their parole not to servo against England during.the pre•
sent war, have been permitted to engage themselves as
mariners, to assist is the navigation of British merchant
ships to Australia.

COMFORTS FOR THE CRIMEA.
The Lady Franklin sailing transport sailed from Spit.
head yesterday morning with a heavy shipment of sup.
plies, amounting to about GOO tons of biscuit, beef; pork,
rum, and hay for the Crimea.
Above 1,000 pairs of the new boots to be worn by
soldiers in the Crimea, extremely watertight and im-
penetrable to snow-water, and' principally for those at
work in the trenches, have been sent to the Ordnance
stores at the Tox•er by the, contractors. The boots are
made of cowhide, manufactured on a peculiar principle,
being stretched to its full extent and well hammered ;
there is then laid on a coating of some fluid which ren-
ders the leather extremely pliable ; the soles are about
three-sixteenths of an inch in thickness, and the legs
of the boots reach above the wearer's calves. There are
several thousand pairs ordered, and those at present in
the stores will be sent out by the first conveyance to the
Crimea.

MARLBOROUGH-,STREET-(THIS DAY.)

A LAWLESS RIIITIAL—James Lawless, an Irish tailor,
was brought before Mr. Hardwick, charged with vio-
lently assaulting Mary Lawless, his wife.
The presecutriz, whose face was severely bruised, de-
posed that, about ten o'clock last night, the defendant
came home rather drunk and went to bed. About
eleven o'clock he got up, had his supper, and went to
bed again. She subsequently retired to rest, when he
awoke and asked her for a handkerchief, and because
she did not give him one directly, he struck her with his
fists about the head and face, and kicked her about the
body. She screamed out, and a constable came in and
took defendant into custody.
Police-constable Baldwin, 135 C, was on duty last
night in Archer-street, when he heard loud screams
proceed from No. 4 in the same street. He at once
rushed into the house, and took the prisoner into cus-
tody. The complainant wai much bruised about the
face.

Defendant, in reply to the charge, said he was drunk
a t the time, and knew nothing at all about it.
To refresh his recollection, Mr. Hardwick committed
Lim for three montlas.

E,VIERTALVMENT TO THE OFFICERS OF LA
REINE RORTENSE AT SOUTHAMPTON.

The commander and officers of the Emperor Napo-
Icon's steam yacht La Reine Hortense, now lying at
Southampton, were entertained yesterday by Mr. Samp-
son Payne, the mayor of Southampton, at a grand de-
jeuocr at the Audit-house of that town. Many of the
principal inhabitants were invited to meet the French
officers. The hospitality of the chief magistrate of South.
amption seemed to be most gratifying to the feelings of
these gentlemen. The sentiments interchanged, and
the speeches delivered on the occa,don, typified in the
strongest manner a warm appreciation of the Anglo-
French alliance.

The following address from the Mayor and corpora-
tion of Southampton was presented to Count Excel-
mans!, the captain of the Reine Hortense, previous to
the banquet :

RUSSIA.
The Augsburg Gazette publishes the following
letter from Vienna of the VA :—" The accounts
from St. Petersburg, which are in circulation at
aovoral of the orabassioa here, agree is oayiug that

the Czar rejects all idea of concession' and that he
is resolved to prosecute the war with vigour. The
reports from Gallicia, in their turn, state that the
Austrian troops are abandoning their winter quar-
ters, and concentrating themselves at Cracow,
Lemberg, and Stanislaslow. General Hess is
about to establish his head-quarters at Lemberg.
The preparatory arrangements for the recruiting
of 1855 have terminated, and the conscription will
take place next month. The Russian Councillor
of State, M. de Kotzebue, arrived here yesterday
from Wiesbaden. He had a conference with the
Russian Ambassador to-day, and to-morrow he
will leave for St. Petersburg."
The following is a summary of Russian news
from the seat of war given by the Solduten Freund :
—The recent expedition of the Russian steamers,
which was merely a reconnaissance, lasted nine
hours. The Russians only discovered that they
had no chance of effecting anything by sea against
the French, as strand batteries completely protect
their transport ships ; 120 fresh guns of the largest
calibre have been placed in the batteries, and the
works in the third parallel are completed. In a
letter of the 13th from Odessa is the following pas •
sage :—" The unfavourable weather has made the
roads so bottomless that two mails from the Crimea
are over-due." It is also certain that the two
Grand Dukes passed Perekop on the 9th, on their
way to St. Petersburg. General Read, and not
General Offenberg, has been definitively appointed
to the 3d Corps, which was formerly under Osten-
Sacken. Until General Read arrives, Lieutenant-
General Monthesor will have the command.
Twenty thousand mon are occupied in fortifying
Kiew.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET-(TILIS DAY.)

A. LAWLESS RUFFIAN.—James Lawless, an Irish tailor,
was brought before Mr. Hardwick, charged with vio-
lently assaulting Mary Lawless, his wife.
The prosecutrix, whose face was severely bruised, de-
posed that, about ten o'clock last night, the defendant
came home rather drunk and went to bed. About
eleven o'clock he got up, had his supper, and went to
bed again. She subsequently retired to rest, when he
awoke and asked her for a handkerchief, and because
she did not give him-one directly, he struck her with his
fists about the head and face, and kicked her about the
body. She screamed out, and a constable came in and
took defendant into custody.
Police-constable Baldwin, 135 C, was on duty last
night in Archer-street, when he heard loud soream■
proceed from No. 4in the same street. He at once
rushed into the house, and took the prisoner into cus-
tody. The complainant wai much bruised about the
face.

Defendant, in reply to the charge, said ha was drunk
a t the time, and knew nothing at all about it.
To refresh his recollection, Mr. Hardwick committed
him for three months.

LINARES LEAD MINING COMPANY.-At a meeting of
this company, held yesterday, a dividend of 15s. per
share was declared, and the report of the directors was
unanimously carried. It was stated that returns are
steadily increasing, and that the erection of new works,
although requiring some outlay, has greatly facilitated
operations. Recent discoveries have proved satisfactory,
the estimated supply of ore having considerably aug-
mented. Although the amount of profit would have
enabled the directors to declare a larger dividend, they
have refrained from recommending one, the desirableness
of an available cash balance to extend works, if neces-
sary, and to meet promptly any expenditure, being a
consideration of importance at the present juncture.
THE ROYAL DECLARATION OF WAR.—The liberal and
unambiguous terms of the royal declaration of war, as
regards the commerce of neutrals, gave great satisfaction
t
to-day to the commercial community, and especially o
the merchants engaged in the Russian trade. •

[ADVERTISEMENT. ]—A LIEUTENANT OF DRAGOONS
CURED OF RHEUMATISM BY HOLLOWAY'S OINTMENT
AND PILLS.—This officer, who is in the Dutch army,
states that Holloway's Pills and Ointment have cured
him of rheumatism, which appeared to be incurable, as
neither sea-bathing, vapour-baths, nor preparations vaunted
as sure remedies, did him any good, and the tiyatnent of
the doctor, after several months' trial, was withc..% suc-
cess. At this juncture he commenced taking then, Pills
and rubbing the Ointment into the complaining part,
twice a day, which effectually cured him in the course of
six weeks. The truth of this statement can be vouched for
by Mr. J. B. Stratman, of Bois-le•Duc.—Sold by all drug.

most rash to reflect. The sufferings of commerce
and the perspective of still more severe trials act
with great force on the imagination of the people,
whom it was hoped to lead astray by appealing to
their religious feelings. Business is completely
suspended ; the coffers of the treasury are empty ;
a ecarcity of corn is imminent, and from the mo-
ment when the benefit of maritime. neutrality is
voluntarily given up, the resources of foreign
markets can no longer be relied on. This will
readily account for the resistance which the pro-
moters of this pretended national movement meet
with. Their efforts have failed in the Peloponesus.
The young Colocotroni, who had been sent to get
recruits, has been expelled from Megara and Co-
rinth without having been able to get a single
partisan, although he had a considerable sum of
money at his disposal. some influential men, Ad-
miral Canaris, M. Riga, the Mavromichalis, Gene-
ral Kalergi, MM. Bulgari, Theotoki, and a number
of other persons well known for their patriotism,
have placed themselves at the head of this reaction,
which is not less in conformity with the wishes of
the great majority of the people than with the
interests of the country.

PREPARATIONS AT CRONSTADT.

The extracts from St. Petersburg letters of the
14th, say the Russians appear to he firmly con-
vinced that, even if things go well with the allies,
only a part of the fleet will be fit for service
by the time it gets up to Cronstadt. The sand-
banks are numberless, and, in addition to these,
the ships will have to contend with the Schee-
ren flotilla, which is likely to be very destruc-

tive to single vessels. This flotilla is stationed
behind the Soheeren (the archipelago of islets and
reefs or ridges of rocks which line the coast on both
sides of the Baltic is so called), where there is not
sufficient depth of water for larger vessels. It is
supposed that in the operations against Sweaborg,
Oesel, and Revel, the allies will suffer severely.
The greater part of the Russian fleet is at Cron-
stadt, " which is being fortified so as to bid defiance
to all attacks." The island is connected with the
continent by means of an artificial dam, which is
covered with batteries. The strand batteries which
command the channel leading up to the harbour
have been doubled, and before Cronstadt can be
attacked these batteries, which contain 800 guns of
the largest calibre, must be destroyed. There are
three artillery parks in reserve. A private letter
of the 15th, from Stockholm, also speaks of the
fearful preparations of the Russians for defence.
The Grand Duke Constantine had been a whole
fortnight at Helsingfors superintending the
works. It is generally believed the first hostile col-
lision will take place at the island of Oesel, which
may be considered as the advanced post to Revel.
Sweaborg is so protected by sand-banks, reefs,
and strand-batteries, that an attack is almost im-
possible. " The Russian fleet is perfectly secure
at Sweaborg, and it may render good service against
the allies when they return." All the lamps have
been removed from the lighthouses, and the buoys
taken up, so that the most experienced Russian
pilots would be at a loss to find their way up to
Cronstadt.
