QELF-PRESERVATION.---A Medical Treatise
K.. 1 on the Functions and Disorders of the Generative System,
and on the cure of Nervous and Physical Debility, resulting
from vicious habits acquired during the critical passage from
youth to Manhood, with practical observations on the Phy-
siology of Marriage in its social, moral, and physical rela-
tions. To which are added remarks on the wonders of the
Microscope in revealing the hidden mysteries "of Life within
Life," and its advantages in detecting, by urinary examina-
tion, the cause and effect of every variety of these complaints,
with numerous engraving-s and cases.

rary Member of the London Hospital Medical Society, Li-
centiate of Apothecaries' Hall, London, &c., &c.
The essential object of this treatise is to point out the fear-
ful consequences resulting from certain habits, irregularities,
and excesses, which have produced more misery in Youth,
degradation in Manhood, 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 condi-
tion, and who are conscious of having hazarded the health,
happiness, and privileges to which every human being is en-
titled.
It is absolutely necessary that all 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, how those penalties may be mitigated, how the
sting-of their bitterness may be removed, and how the evil
and its consequences may be avoided, and, above all, that
there is scarcely any degree of physical infirmity or functional
derangement to which the timely aid of science cannot apply
a cure.

FRYSENTATION OF THE FUNERAL
CAR OF NAPOLEON I.

(From the Moniteurj
The funeral car of Napoleon arrived on Friday
morning in Paris. Gen. Sir J. Burgoyne, charged
by the Queen of England to proceed with it to the
Invalides and deliver it up formally, was in attend-
ance. 'At a quarter before one, General Count
d'Ornano, the governor, and his staff, descended
into the courtyard to meet Marshal Vaillant, Minis-
ter of War. 'ln a few minutes after, the English
general and Prince Napoleon, who had come from
Compiegne expressly for the occasion, arrived, and
the ceremony of reception took place in front of
the church, where the car had been placed. Sir J .
Burgoyne delivered the following address :
" Her Majesty the Queen of England being de-
sirous of offering to his Imperial Majesty a relic
which she knows to be interesting to France, has
charged me to bring to Paris, and to place at the
disposal of the Emperor, the funeral car on which
were conveyed to his first tomb the mortal remains
of the illustrious founder of the Napoleonian
dynasty. The admiration which I feel as a soldier
for the exalted genius and exploits of that gieat
warrior has caused me to feel the greater pleasure
at the choice which my gracious Sovereign has made
of me, for the accomplishment of this honourable
mission."

Prince Napoleon replied :—" General—l receive,
in the name of the Emperor, the precious relic
which the Queen of England. has sent to him. I
receive it as a testimony of her desire to efface the
poignant remembrances of St. Helena, as a pledge
of the friendship which unites the two Sovereigns,
and as a proof of the alliance which exists between
the two nations. May this alliance long continue,
for the happiness of the human race J May it
reserve for the future as great results as those which
it has already produced J lam charged by the
Emperor to inform you, General, that he particu-
larly appreciates the choice which the Queen has
mail° of you for this mission. We are happy to
have, to thank one of those glorious chiefs of the
English army, by the side of whom we have fought,
and for whom we have retained such a high
esteem." _

The short ceremonial then terminated. \ The car
is to be placed in the Chapel Saint-Jerome, by the
side of the mortal remains of the great man which
had been conveyed on it to the tomb.

DENSE FOGS ON THE MERSEY.--SERIOUS COL-
LISIONS.—On Wednesday morning, 'at half-past six o'clock,
a fog gathered over the Mersey, and in a short time the
mist became so dense that it was with great difficulty the
Woodside steamers could effect a passage to the landing-
stage. The other ferry boats did not attempt to cross the
river. At a quarter to seven o'clock the steamer Prince,
which left Woodside with between 200 and 300 passengers,
came into collision with the ship Wallace. "Nkrhilst in the
act of reversing her engines one of the wheels of the
steamer, which caught in the mooring chain of the ship,
was carried away, and it would have sunk but that it was
slightly supported by the pedestal bracket. A second col-
lision took place at half-past nine o'clock, with the Lord
Morpeth, another of the Woodside steamers, which ran into
the barque Lucy,,,which was anchored in the middle of the
mbiter
sko
straam, and outward bo_und. The barque had some of her
planks staked, and was obliged to put into the Coburg
Dock during the day for repairs. The steamer sustained
no damage. The fog partially clearednff at eleven o'clock,
