The essential object 01 this treatise is to point out the fearful con-
sequences resulting from certain habits, Irregularities, and excesses,
which have proauced 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 modern 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 human being is
entitled.
It is absolutely necessary thatall men should know, that there are
principles of personal management which cannot be violated without
incurring grievous penalties, and when wisdom and regret succeed
the heyday of inconsiderate self-indulgence, haw these penalties
bay be mitigated, how the sting of their bitterness may be removed,
sad how the evil and its consequences may be avoided, and above all,
teat there is scarcely any degree of physical infirmity or functional
lerangement to which the timely aid of science cannot apply a cure.
The A uthor has for a series of years been engaged in an extensive
practice in the treatment of these delicate complaints, which have
unfortunately been too generally confided to the care of ignorant
empirie,s, who inflict great injury on those who are induced to place
I tith in their pretensions.

TO the SHAREHOLDERS of the GENERAL
SCREW STEAM SIIIPPING COMPANY.

In the present momentous position of the Company's affairs, the
Board .if Directors consider it their duty to address the Shareholders,
and, if possible, to arouse them to a sense of their actnal interests.
At the General Meeting held yesterday, a combinati in of parties
was seen, whose objects were as diverse as the means by which they
will be prepared to carry them out.
One patty, represented by r. Raikes Currie, desires to sell your
ships, and wind uiithe affairs of the C mpsny. A second party has
not expressed this object, but it has, by every means within
reach, endeavoured to gain a power which would enable the leaders
to manage your affairs,—an office for which the Board believe them
utterly unfitted.

_ -
On the Chairman's motion yesterday,
" That the report and accounts now presented to this meeting be
received and adopted, and that a dividend at the rate of bl. per cent.
per annum be paid to the Shareholders for the last half-year, free of
income tax, the dividend to be payable on and after the 3 Ali inst.,"
Mr. Raikes Currie proposed the following amendment—
" That thi, report be not adopted."
Mr. Hutton, whose circulars it may be presumed every share-
haler has received, seconded that amendment, and he attempted an
elaborate analysis a, the accounts then before the meeting.
His statements proved, without cent'oversy, too things :—First,
that he is entirely ignorant of the nature of mercantile accounts ; and
second, that he had been grossly imposed upon. To many of his
allegations a direct and positive contradiction was given, and in re-
lation to the accounts which he had criticised, full and sufficient ex-
planations Were afforded either by the Stipendiary Auditor or the
Chairman. . _ _

The eminent accountant, Mr. Co'eman, who IS also a shareholder,
spoke to the substantial correctness of the accounts, though he ob-
jected to the form.
Mr. Hutton was supported by a Shareholder, who is stated to be
the accountant of a late Director, and who has published a state-
ment which the Board does not hesitate to describe a-, a gross per-
version of figures.

Mr. T. A. Hankey spoke to tha Recounts, and he proposed as a
further sunendment that they should be referred to some two emi-
nent accountants.

Gentlemen —ro Mr. Hankey's proposition. just and reasonable In
Well, the Chairman for himself and the , est of the Directors instantly
assented. Ho :Jed they would willing'Y adopt tnat cuur4e. And
why ? Because accounts tightly kept, and rightly vouched, %rill
bear any examination, provided that examination be condscted in
an honest spirit for a prtper end.

Atter divcu,si ,n, Mr. Raikes Currie exereSsed a wish to withdraw
his amendment, that that of Mr. Hankey might be put, and Mr.
Hutton and his friends reiused him what he sough •
Well, gentlemen, the report was to be rejected,--the 130 srd wore to
be treated with contumely—you we, e t• be refused a dividend, I,)e-
-cause the accounts were alleged to be incorrect; and the proposition
to have them examined by dispassionate and competent persons le
refused all consideration. Do you require a stronger proof that a
faction is attempting to sacrifice Tour interests to its own desire of
power ?
The amendment of Mr. Raikes Carrie was finally carried by a
cf hands, and She shareholders, opposed to that resolution, de-
manded a begot.
The meeting then adjoorned to the hour of noon on the 22d
inst., at the London Tavern, when the result of the bal'ot will be
declared, and the business proceeded with. When the meeting re-
assemble:, if Mr. Ilankey should nit -dhere to ha intention of
moving a resulution as to the accounts, the Chairman, on behalf of
the Board, is prepaid to move that they shall be submitted to the
examination of one or more eminent accountants.

The question of a Dividend is entirely for your decision.
However the accounts may be dealt with—whatever may be the
value put on the several assets, this at least is a fact which Is not to
be disproved. that during the first six months of this year a net profit
of 34,9961. 19s. 4d was realised, and the assets were increased by the
sum of .57.642/. 3s. 6d.

During the six months now current the profit derived from the
employment of your ships has been very large; that must continue
for come tiine longer, for they are chartered for periods which do
not expire without notice ; and the Il and have littlo doubt that each
of your ships, as she returns from Australia, will be cldirtered.
Nearly five months of the half year have expir,d, and thererore it
is not bold to state that your gains during the present half-year, in-
clusive of that on the sale of the Prince, will be, it is estimated,
from nqiety to one hundred thousand pounds from the 6'overnment
alone.

The Company's gross receipts, inclusive of the charter of the
Indiana, are 28,741/. per month, the Government
The argument which the Board wish to present to these share-
holders who seek to sell the Company's property forthwith is this—
that the advantages derived from the present employment of the
slips are much in excess of any reasonable depreciation, whether itnt arise from the deterioration of property, or depression in the de-
mand for steamers, or from both. providing fuel
Gentlemen, the Board repeat that at the proper time the Directors
would Oa tly, with your permission, sell a part or the whole of your
fleet. It you r-fuse them our confidence, end restrict their discre-
!ion, insisting on an immediate sale, or within a limited period. you
wi 1, without a doubt, inflict on yourselves a heavy and disastrous
loss.
At the general meeting the directors affirmed, through the Chair-
man, that they are prepared to resign their
places to any gentlemen
who are independent of the baneful influences which have so long
been at work ; but they are equally resolved by every means which
can be legally and honourably used, to resist the objects of the fac-
tious movement, which they have not hesitated to denounce.
The Board earnestly urge you to look to your proper interests.
To evade that provision of your deed which limits the numb r of
votes in proportion to the increase of stock, shares have been trans-
ferred for a nominal onslieration to persons (clerks and ~them) by
whose means greater power may be exerted at your meetings. Such
expedients may be pursued to a greater extent. the warning is
given, and it is 11 ,r you to profit by it.
Confident in the integrity of their conduct, in their earnest desire

to preserve the interests committed to their hands, and in the cor-
rectness of their policy, the di, ectors ask
your support at the ballot
