The Parent, who beholds his beloved child pining away, and fast
approaching to a premature grave, in consequence of some disease,
which, for want of careflil investigation of its real cause, has been
set down to the score of consumption, will, on perusing this work,
be astonished to find, that in nine-tenths of the cases of young per-
sons of both sexes, who perish of what is called pulmonary con-
sumption, heart disease, tabes, &c., the sole and exclusive origin has
been the indulgence in certain destructive habits practised by youth
much more frequently than it is at all suspected.
N.B. Hours of consultation from Eleven till Two, and Six to
Eight in the Evening.

1 0 V E is the leading feeling of the human
breast. More exalted than mere passion, it sears high above
every other impulse of nature, and is not only stronger than avarice,
but more engrossing even than ambition. No man is exempt from
its influence, er can avoid its sway ; and business, pleasure, philo-
sophy, and divinity itself become neglected under the enthralling
power of LOVE, which, unlike most things, increases in intensity
with time, until it receives the sacred consummation of marriage.
When union does not take place, however, this passion, this
fervour, this golden tide of the manliest feelings becomes a deadly
poison in the heart, which now darkens, as it before bright-
ened, all things upon earth. How is it that men, of most un-
changeable habits, will change at the very altar, and after a life-
time spent in the fulfilment of every engagement, snap the very con-
tract asunder which should be most binding to an honourable mind ?
It is the effect of conscience. The Lover, by enervation of early
habits, er the results of secret disease, knows himself to be
disqualified, and dares not enter a state which has been
instituted by Divine Law for the fulfilment of important
ends. The wretched condition of such a being must subsequently be
beyond measure deplorable 1 Loving and beloved, he entails the
most miserable disappointments on the object of his choice, and upon
himself a desolation the most horrible, when the simple possession of
natural attributes would change the scene, and yield to both a life of
unalloyed happiness. The subject is interesting, and deserves the
attention of all. Those desirous of investigating it will find the
fullest and most satisfactory information in the little work entitled
SELF-PRESERVATION,
illustrated by forty coloured engravings on the anatomy, physiology,
and diseases of the reproductive organs ; with practical observa-
tions ea the secret infirmities of youth and maturity, resulting from
solitary habits, excesses, or infection.

This treatise is the result of a long course of study in a peculiar and
muck neglected branch of medical practice, and the author having ob-
tained the highest medical honours, is a guarantee for his profes-
sional experience, Which has reference almost solely to the treat-
ment of ties. diseases.

REVIZIY OF TIM WORK.
La'Mert en the Infirmities of Youth and Maturity.—" There are
scenes in the drama of life which are acted with no spectator but
Conscience ; and of these the result is ever disastrous. Happy the
mortal who meets with a timely mentor to snatch him from the gulf
into which such scenes must plunge him i In the book before as
each a monitor is to be found, calculated to warn and instruct the
erring, without impairing ins idea that can vitiate a mind not al-
ready tutored by the vices of which it treats. It is written in a style
of masterly precision and lucidity, blending the profoundest truths of
philosophy and physics with the loftiest precepts of morality. It is a
production calculated to confer a vital benefit, physically and morally,
upon all who are tempted from the rigid path of abstemiousness and
propriety. A father may trust it in the hands of his boy. By un
taught innocence the book is not, of course, needed ; but wherever
laxity has prevailed, the tender yet awful voice breathing in these
pages is likely to prove as strikingly beneficial as the admonitions of
a homily blended with the practical advice of a writer on medicine."

INDIAN NEWS.

•
(From the Overland Bombay Times, Sept. 15.)
SUMMARY.—NearIy the whole of the Lahore and
Ferozepore columns, advancing by the Sutlej and
Chenaub on the seat of insurrection, reached Mouifrin
on the 18th and 19th of August. Her Majesty's 32d,
with three troops of the Irregular Horse, and a wing
of the 49th Native Infantry, senas an escort, arrived
in the camp on the 24th. The battering train of 30
heavy guns reached the landing place opposite I3aha-
wulpore on the 19th; ten days were found necessary
to make preparations for the march; they marched
for the scene of action on the 28th, and were expected
to arrive about the 3d or 4th of September ; three
troops of the 11th Irregulars, with a wing of the 490)1
Native Infantry, escorting them. Active operations
were to be commenced immediately on their arrival.
The whole expedition had so far proceeded auspi-
ciously; some of the troops had suffered just before
the conclusion of the journey from the intensity of
the heat, with the thermometer standing in the

hospital at 197 deg. In one day her Majesty's 32d
lost 16 men and had 190 sent to the hospital. The
sickness was expected to abate or disappear when
the troops got fairly established. About the 14th a
detachment had been sent out from the Lahore
column to close up the communication of the canals
with the river, and prevent the risk of the country
being laid under water. They immediately en-
trenched themselves, and haying taken every pre-
caution against surprise, set to work day and night.
The insurgents datatched a party of about 1,500,
with a view of attacking or destroying them, but
finding any attempt upon the works likely to prove
disastrous, they endeavoured to take the head-quarter
column
o nto meet by s
tunrepmr e
and,by a
keepingnight
e attack.lea
rof They pu
shed
on the
artillery
and irregular horse, threw themselves with great
spirit on the flank companies of her Majesty's 10th
and the Bth Native Infantry. After an hour's
skirmishing they were repulsed in all directions.
Eighteen dead and some prisoners were left on the
field—the wounded were carried off. The army
now around Moultan consists of about 28,000 men, ,
with thirty pieces of heavy ordnance and nearly I
as many light guns. Of these 6,000 are British troops,
the rest Seikhs, Beloochees, and Daudpoutras, &c.,
mostly powerfUl, hardy, and determined men,
though ill-disciplined, and like most irregulars, not
quite to be depended on in extremity. The army
of the Moolraj is seid at present to amount to
10,000 men, with about 20 guns in all; of these,
2,000 selected men hold the citadel, determined, it is
said, to resist to the last. The rest await our ad-
vance under the guns of the outer fortress. The
Punjaub continues tranquil, though there are rumours
of some of the chiefs playing us false. The leader of
the mutiny amongst the Seikh artillery in the Ha-
zareh country is said to be determined, now that he
has committed himself, to fight it out ; and it seems
not improbable that a brigade will be required in this
quarter so soon as the Moultan business is disposed
of. These disturbances originated entirely amongst
the soldiers of the old army, who find their im-
portance now altogether gone, and are ready to
brave any danger, or incur any risk, to be revenged
upon the authors of their annihilation, or in the hope
of recovering so much of their position. With these
inconsiderable exceptions, tranquillity reigns through-
out the vast expanse of the Company's dominions.
The usual irregularities seem to prevail through-
out Affghanistan—a rebellious chief here refusing to ,
pay tribute, a vindictive one there bent on taking the
law into his own hands—with the usual circumstances
for which so close a parallel is found in Scotland
during the reign of the Stuarts. Details of these
things reach us exclusively through native news-
writers, proverbial for colouring their narratives of
the hue likely to prove agreeable to those for whom
they are meant.
In Ceylon everything appears to be tranquil. The
Kandian rebellion is said to bave been designed before
the imposition of the new and obnoxious lazes was

made I:aa.iwn, and- to' th
finance measures of Lord Torrington. The adminis
' tration in the Cinnamon Isle seems at the same time
to be at present remarkable for its weakness and in-
capacity.
The Prime Minister at Gwalior, like his co-frere
at Hyderabad, seems to be inbad odour—not, it is
said, however, from really bad. actions of his own, but
from his want of tact in carrying on the duties of his
office. A noted bad characterr ng had been deported from
the state, and it was expected others of his gang, then
under trial, would share the same fate. A Court of
Appeal bad been opened at Gwalior, but its members
were said to have shown themselves ignorant of the
duties required of them, and incompetent to their
performance even had they
known them. Colonel
Sleeman, our resident, was labouring in his usual
way for the good of the state, and
had no intention of
abandoning his post till he had reaped the fruits of
his toil.
An interview took place between the Nizam of Hy-
derabad and our Resident, a
the t which the former com-
plained most bitterly of incompetency of hi.
re
Prime Minister, and his failure in fulfilling any single
thing promised by him on his nomination to office by
us. The reply of Generalc Frazer was to the effect
that the Minister's want
measure due to th
whose the
mannertsuccess was in a great
in which he had
been treated by the
Nizam,owered him openin
n the
ed
eyes
sweodf
dislike towards him had 1
the public, and so rendered himincapable of reducing
off the
the expenditure or clearingdebts of the state.
The result of the interview was that the Minister was
so far again admitted into favourmast as to be allowed to
present a gift to his Royal er,
as had not been granted to him, a concession such
Fraser's absence I during General
The King of Oude, tired apparently of even the
few cares of royalty he hadreserrved to himself, has
now delegated the whole powe
favourite Minister, while he indulgesof majesty to his
. in all manner of
pleasures in his palace undisturbed, and probably it
is well for him that such should be the -case. The
Minister is said to be a clever man, and has set about
accomplishing that which his Royal waster never
could achieve—the collection of the revenues and re-
plenishment of the royal treasuries. So long as he
furnishes the
King with money to keep up his de-
baucheries he will retain his premiership; once let
him fail in supplying the ways and means, and he
will be hurled from the pinnacle of eminence he has
now attained.
The celebrated Chokra Bisshye has again been
heard of in the Boad bills, where he awaits the return
of the cold season to renew his operations against
us. As usual, the report of fresh sacrifices having
taken place in Boad has again been put forward in
the columns of the admirers of the former Goomsoor
agency. The missionaries at Berhampore are said
to have had made over to them fifty of the lately
rescued Meriahs.
Lord Dalhousie positively proceeds to the north-
west about the middle of next month, and all the
arrangements consequent on his intended journey
are said to have been completed. His Lordship
proceeds by steamer to Allahabad, from whence he
will travel by dawk to Umballa, where his camp is
to be formed. Lord Gough is said to have been re.
appointed Commander-in-Chief of India, and his
Lordship intends remaining at his post for a
- couple
of years longer. The refusal of the Court of Di.
rectors to accept of Sir Charles Napier as
- a suc-
cessor to Lord Gough is alleged as the reason of the
extension of command to the latter, as the Duke of
Wellington is said to be determined on ultimately
appointing the former to the Indian Comrnander-in-
Chiefship. The lion. Messrs. Frederick Millett and
J. E. D. Bethune were, on the 13th of August, ap-
pointed Indian law commissioners; and Mr. J. P.
Grant, of the Civil Service, secretary to the commis-
sion. The Right Rev. Dr. Wilson, metropolitan of
India, is about to pay a visit to Madras, Colombo,
and Bombay, a steamer being placed at his Lord-
ship's disposal by Government. He will be accom-
panied by Dr. A. Webb as medical attendant. The
death of Mr. M. Tierney, judge of Allyghur, on the
26th August, is reported. It is affirmed that Sir
Dudley Hill, who commands the Barrackpore divi-
sion of the Bengal army, is about to exchange with
Sir
.Walter Gilbert, who commands the Sirhind
division. Colonel Benson, stipendiary member of
the Military Board, is said to be about shortly
returning home. The ship Kandiana, laden with
coals from Newcastle, foundered in the lloogley
been
on
the 20th August. The Hon. Mr. Bethune has
elected curator to the Calcutta Public Library, con-
sequent on the departure of Mr. W. P. Granto th
to
Europe. A vote of thanks has been passed to
latter gentleman, for his valuable services during
the
long curatorship
period he held the of the
institution.
