SELF-PRESERVATION.—A Medical Treatise
on the Functions and Disorders of the Generative System,

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 prematuru 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 numan betng,. a cu •
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-
how those penalties may be mitigated, how the
self-
indulgence, bitterness may be removed, and how the evil
consequences may be avoided, and, above all, that

derangement to which the timely aid of science cannot apply

No man of our time has better excuses for de-
spising his fellow-creatures than the present Em-
peror of the French. No man has a better right to
be disconcerted and surprised at the sound 'of a
solitary challenge of defiance in the midst of an
acclaiming chorus of contented lacqueys. The day
before yesterday.ali the puppy-dogs thatfa.vpi. and
wriggle at the feet of power were preparing heir
little yelp of satisfaction at the wisdom and policy
of an act of grace which had the double merit of
dismissing and disgracing a man of eccentric hon-
our and most inconvenient courage. When the
news came that M. de Montalembert had refused
the Imperial " pardon," these spaniels of success,
with their ever keen scent for mean motives, were
beginning to cry out, " Behold a martyr, who
will go to prison, and will pay a fine, though the
gendarmes won't have him at any price." What a
pity the flunky theory of resistance should miss its
mark ! What an anthology of epigrams inspired
by the spirt of the pantry we have lost now that
know precisely how the poisoned shaft of Imperial
clemency was arrested in its flight ! For the first
time these seven years, in France, irresponsible
power finds itself face to face with a will as un- '
quailing and as resolute as its own, armed with a
just cause, and a " belief in right." At this strange
and unusual apparition the guilty conscience of
Usurpation starts, as in a troubled dream. Despo-
tism that hesitates is lost.
In the anxiety to connect the name of Montatem-
bert with a dishonourable date, and to season the
injury of a favour with the spice of insult, the bounds
of legality were easily overstepped. and a techni-
cal impropriety or two brushed aside, by one whose
idea of law is " something to be broken.,' On
Thursday morning, the 2d of December, the
Moniteuriannounced with its customary glib assur-
ance and easy superiority, that the Emperor had
remitted the sentence of the Correctional Police.
Shortly after noon on the same day, M. de Mont-
alembert, less magnificent than the Moniteur but
more legal, presented himself at the Registrar's
office, accompanied by MM. Berryer and Dufaure,
to lodge an appeal against the sentence which the
Master of the Moniteur, making a law unto himself,
had, with a splendid negligence of phrase and a
superb indifference to legal forms, remitted in the
early morning.
Can the right of appeal duly exercised within
the delay allowed by, law be arrested by a pardon
emanating from the Fountain of Dishonour itself ?
That is now the question which, if M. de Montalem-
bert and his counsel were disposed, like Favorinus,
the philosophical grammarian, to decline to argue
with a man in command of thirty legions, would
easily be solved according to la loi du plus fort.
But we have good reason to doubt whether the
illustrious apologist of liberty in these latter days
will be quite so complaisant as the Pagan of the
second century, " I have appealed," he says,
" within the term allowed by the law against the
sentence pronounced against me. No Government
in France has had, up to the present, the right to
remit a penalty which is not definitive." The issue
is a very simple one. The cause is still sub judiee,•
and the condemnation, pending the appeal, is, pro
tanto, null and of no effect. Until the time allowed
by the law for an appeal had expired, was there
any final judgment recorded upon which the Im-
perial prerogative could separate ? Now that an
appeal is duly lodged there can be no matter of
doubt that the sentence of the lower court is sus-
pended, and that the defendant is no longer in law

appealed,the
"pa
r
unexhausted ? These are points to
exercise the
acuteness of lawyers and to amuse of
curiosity
learned amateurs. The
question that transcends all
technical considerations, the question that concerns
us all, is—shall force or law predo • minate ? M. de
Montalembert's letter to the Cardinal Archbishop
of Paris leaves no doubt of his own high sense of
the eternal cause for which he is called upon to
plead. Protesting, with a noble and• calm disdain-
fulness, which only valets will misinterpret, against
the last indignity of Imperial favour, which it was
reported the Archbishop had solicited, he writes:—
"Proud and honoured by a condemnation
proves my fidelity to the political principles of my
o my
whole life, and which comes so opportunely
to jus-
tify in the eyes of Europe and of posterity all that
I have said or thought on the actual condition of
France, I have at this moment no other desire than
to leave to my judges the responsibility of their
acts, and I could only regard in the light of a real
wrong (injure) the slightest favour emanating from
the Imperial Government. In the midst of the
changes of which I have been the witness, and of
the trials of which I have been the victim, my
honour has been intact. It is to preserve it from
all attempt, even in appearance, that I take the
liberty of expressing to your Eminence a disquie-
tude, perhaps superfluous, but perfectly legitimate."
Words like these outlive occasions and " sen-
tence" empires. It was hoped, no doubt, that the
terms of the " pardon" would detach M. de Monta-
lembert more than ever from the sympathies of the
Liberal party, by the perfidious association of his
name with the 2d of December; but the avrox ani-
mus of a man who never pandered to the vulgar or
bent the knee to perjury, is all too strong in honour

In all angry comments that have been made upon
this transaction, it seems to have been too much
forgotten that it is in the higheSt degree unfair to.
judge French political affairs by an English
standard. In this country the freedom of the press
ris held as sacred as the Habeas Corpus Act. But it
was not always so. It is little more than a century
ago that it was a matter of State policy in England
to keep in check the liberty of the press. If we go
a little further back than even that, and look to
the days of William 111. called by so many the
saviour of England, we shall'find .that the urgency
of the crisis was held to justify very strong repres-
sions of adyerse public opinion, and doubtless the
erepressive policy was then-a wise one. At that pe-
riod there existed in England, as there now exists
in France, the active and zealous partisans of a
rival Dynasty.
It is not every age or every country that is fit
for the blessing; of an unrestricted press: England
was not fit a century and a half age,. France is not
fit now. The abstract rights of the press must in
all ages be modified by the immediate necessities of
the countryi In Our h.atred of despotism aS such, we
might as fairly quarrel with the Empire as with
the restrictions of the press. The people of France
are not the people to be trusted with the care of
themselyes, and by the same rule they are not pre-
pared for perfect liberty of the press. The Empire
is necessary for France, and under present circum-
stances the control of the press is necessary for the
Empire. We, who can do without despotism, can
use the liberty o: the
_press without fear. But we
are not therefore at liberty to rail indiscriminat-
ingly. at measures rendered necessary in another
country; and amongst another people, under a
totally different state of things.
It is due to the Emperor of the French to con-
strue the two acts of the trial and pardon of Comte
De Montalembert, not by the standard by which
'the like actions you'd be tried in this country, but
by the actual circumstances of France, and in con-
nection with the whole context of the Emperor's
rUle, of which they form a part: It is, said' by the
admirers of M. De Montalembert that there is
nothing seditiousin his pamphlet, nothing directly
hostile to the existing Government of France, and
that it is only inferentially that a charge of bad
tendency can be made out. We cannot admit that
opinion. We are grateful for the accomplished
author's tribute to this country anclte our institu-
tions, but we would rather have been without the
compliment than that he should have excited a feel-
ing in his own lead which might easily 'be fostered
into jealousy, discontent, insubordination to Govern-
' ment, and great public disaster. It is not, the pub-
' lishing of the letter that was wrong, but the pub-
lishing it when, yhere, and as, he did. The cir-
cumstances make all the difference in the moral
turpitude of the action. It is not wrong to smoke
tobacco, yet there are places where, for the cause of
public safety or convenience, even that innocent
recreation is forbidden ; and the Man who should
find himself in custody-for enjoying his cigar in a
railway carriage, a rick -yard or a powdr mill,
would have no appeal to public compassion on the
ground that smoking was in itself harmless ; much
less would he have such appeal if it couldbe reason-
ably suspected that he had any (tort of sympathy,
howeVer remote, with the possible results of his
imprudence.
If we turn from M. de Montalembert to the Em-
peror, we must at once acquit him Of any personal
or ungenerous purpose. As we said above, this
particular act must be construed, not by itself, but
with the help of the context which the rest of .the
Eutparor's„Apititkomrlies. New,- hewrisn'a we-*
this side of the water may feel that we *mild never
endure an imperial regime, we cannot shut our eyes
to the fact that Louis Napoloon was the true friend
of his country in her extremity, and has continued
so. When he uttered at Bordeaux the memorable
words, l'Empire c'est la,paix, he enunciated a great
truth, which six years of experience have confirmed.
Within that time the country has made the most
rapid strides in every department ; and it is past a
doubt that the whole people are far better off now,
and enjoy greater protection to life and property,
than existed at any time under institutions nomi-
nally more liberal. Louis Napoleon may, there-
fore, claim to be looked upon as the friend of France,
of her peace, her wealth, and her advancement.
We do not believe that he loves despotism for his
own sake, but he has seen it good for the people
who have chosen him, and therefore, at the risk of
temporary unpopularity, he does not shrink from
decided and even severe measures when the in-
terests of his Empire seem to demand them. The
pardon so freely accorded, for reasons that we have
ventured to suggest, remove from all parties the
last shadow of excuse for ill-natured reproach and
ungracious imputation of motives.

A CAPTAIN AC'TING AS A SURGEON.

The American ship, John Bright, R. C. Cutting,
master, which has just arrived at this port, after a
boisterous passage of 37 days from New York, on
the morning of Wednesday, the 27th October, when
in latitude 37 deg. 52. min., longitude 68 deg. 2
min., discovered a vessel in distress, and imme-
diately went to her relief. Though a heavy sea was
running, which would have daunted the courage of
any but the hardy sons of the ocean acquainted
with danger, and actuated by feelings of humanity
towards a brother sailor in distress, a boat was
lowered, manned by the mate (Mr. Towers) and
five trusty sailors. They pulled lustily for the
wreck, and succeeded in rescuing six persons from
almost immediate destruction. The unfortunate
vessel proved to be the brigantine Liberal, David
S. Kinney, master, from Weymouth, N.S., bound
for Barbadoes. She had been capsised in a terrific
gale of wind, at 4 o'clock on the preceding Monday
afternoon. When discovered she had righted, but
was under water, and the sea was making a com-
plete breach over her. The captain, in attempting
to relieve his vessel, the first day of the disaster,
was struck by a plank or spar, which broke his left
leg just above the ankle,• and in this helpless and
suffering condition he had been from Monday after-
noon until Wednesday, with only a few raw pota-
toes and apples for food, and without a drop of
water. On board the John Bright Capt. Kinney
received every attention, but mortification soon
appeared in the fractured limb, which rendered it
evident that the only chance of saving his life was
in its immediate amputation. Capt. Cutting, after
advising with the cabin passengers, who fully con-
curred in this opinion, readily undertook the diffi-
cult and hazardous operation which tries the skill
of the most experienced surgeons, and on Sunday
morning following he amputated the limb above
the knee, since which the ship has experienced a
succession of gales, which have, in consequence
of the prolonged length •f the voyage and
the violent motion of the ship, been most un-
favourable for the patient. Notwithstanding
these untoward circumstances, though his suffer-
ings have been intense, he has been gradually im-
proving, and is believed now to be in a fair way for
recovery. It is hoped his case and the utterly desti-
tute condition of his crew will receive immediate
and suitable aid froM their Government. The con-
duct of Capt. Cutting, on this trying occasion, de-
mands the highest praise, for though his duty was
indeed a painful one, he showed himself fully com-
petent for the occasion, and exhibited a degree of
skill and steadiness of nerve in this his first surgi-
cal operation of which an experienced practitioner
might well be proud.—Liverpool Mercury.

GOVERNMENT EMIGRATION.—The Government
emigration ship Wellington, 636 tons, Capt. J. M. Howlett,
sailed from Southampton on Sunday, the 28th ult., for
Sydney, New South Wales, with 239 emigrants, in charge
of Surgeon Superintendent Robert Robertson. The Emi-
gration Commissioners received tenders on Thursday for a
ship to proceed to Sydney to be ready for the reception of
passengers on such day as the commissioners may appoint
between the 7th and 14th of January.
[AbvEßTisEmENT).—Trolloway's Ointment and Pills
have again cured an ulcerated leg, after every other medi-
cine had failed. Henry Winton, of Rickmansworth, was
an object of horror to his friends, from his ulcerous sores.
He tried every medicine likely to benefit him, but it was of
no avail. Finally, one of his legs became so completely
covered with ulcers that amputation of the limb appeared to
be the only thing likely to save his life. At this juncture
hp had recourse to Holloway's Ointment and Pills, and in
{Or months, by using these remedies, he was completely
cored, to the astonishment of all who knew him. Printed
directions for the use of these medi'ines are affixed to each
pot and box.

The usurpation of principalities, and the confis-
cation of royal or princely property, though in-
directly producing a powerful influence on the sen-
timents of the whole community, had a direct
bearing on the highest class only. The cause of
alienation next to be considered materially affected
the position of the important class that comes next
to the highest in the social scale. We have ruled
India by a bureaucracy, and there is no description
of rule more fatally unpopular with the once influ-
ential classes of a subject land. Wherever such a
government is carried on by a conquering race, the
native gentry and landholders sink gradually into
a state of mortifying and discontened insignificance.
The natural tendency of every such system is to re-
pel the local magnates, an d to raise up the obscure and
more manageable order of natives to be its agents and
its tools. This has been the case in India, and it has
been attended with a twofold evil. It has rendered
the better class disaffected, and it has brought
into power and prominence an active and unprin-
cipled order of men, Nho have in many instances, +
during the late outbreak, exerted their influenca
with fatal success against the Government which
has. reposed too blind a confidence in this work of
its own hands. The native gentleman on whose
letter we are commenting, represents an opinion
very current among the better orders of Indian
society when he indicates as one of the principal
causes of our unpopularity in India, the gradual
exclusion of men of respectable family from the '
service of the state, and the employment of the
lower order of natives in their stead. He attributes
to these Pundits' and MOulvies of low extraction,
who have gained official position by passing through
the Government schools, a vast deal of that incen-
diary.feeeling which was the proximate cause of
the recent outbreak.' Whether this inference be'
warranted or not by the facts of the case—as to
which we are not yet in a position to form an ade-
quate judgment--it is abundantly clear that no
system of government can be more mistaken than
that which tends to discourage and alienate a still
respectable and once important order of men, whose
services it repudiates, and whose self-respect it
cruelly wounds.
The class of grievances to which the native writer
next directs attention, as having had much to do
with creating the disaffection which unhappily ex-
ists in India, are more or less Connected with the
details of local administration. The corruption of
the natives employed as officers in the courts of
collectors, magistrates, and judges, is a prolific
source of general and well-grounded disaffection.
This corruption does not entirely proceed from the
rooted and ingrained dishonesty of Asiatic func-
tionaries. There have been times, even in India,
when this corruption was kept within bounds; there
never have been times, even in India, when it has
been so rank and glaring as under British rule.
There is a cause for this. The pay of the native offi-
cials is far too small, and their power is far too
great. Their salary is a pittance on which they
can barely live with decency ; their power extends
to a control over important decrees, for the pur-
chase of which hardly any bribe is too high. It is
with these officials, as a general rule, that suitors
make their arrangements in the first instance.
Cases involving many lacy of rupees are virtually
settled as these functionaries choose. One result is
that many of these men, on the pay of porters, live
live with the profusion of princes. A still worse re-
sult is that a universal impression is produced in
India that justice is a saleable commodity at an exi-
ceedingly extravagant tariff. The method of pro-
cedure adopted in these local courts is'aiiother source
of very general and just' discontent. We have pre-
served in India that cast iron rigidity, of the Common
Law which we have been compelled to abandon at
home. A common law judgment is given for the
whole sum claimed ; it knows nothing of instal-
ments. When the county courts were established
in England this absurdity had to be given up, and
in those courts nine orders out of every ten direct
the payment of the debt claimed by instalments.
Let any one conversant with the subject imagine
what the result would be, if every judgment deli-
vered in every county court in England and Wales
was a peremptory order for instant payment of the
whole debt. Yet this slate of things, which would
be utterly impossible here, is an actual fact in India.
It was never so before the days of British rule :
" Under the native rulers, both Hindoo and Mus-
sulman--if any person was not able to pay his
debts or the amount of a judgment obtained against
him in a court of justice, in one sum, an arrange-
ment was made for payment by instalments, to
which the plaintiff was obliged to submit." The
same system was applied to balances of revenue ;
instalments spread over many years were allowed,
and when the assessment appeared excessive, a
reduction was made in the Government demand.
There is another great cause of discontent connected
with the administration of the local courts. The
old system of settling disputes by Punehayet—the
arbitration of fellow-villagers meeting to arrange
differences on equitable terms—is as much as pos-
sible discouraged and checked. Here, again, note
the absurdity and folly of our proceedings. Just as
our most advanced reformers, headed by Lord
Brougham, are laboUring to introduce Courts of
Conciliation into this country, our Government in
India is doing its best to discountenance a most
admirable institution of the same kind, coeval with
the history of the people, intertwined with their
habits, and adequate to their wants. The list of
grievances connected with the Local Courts includes
two other points :—the compulsory tax on justice
imposed by the enforced employment of stamped
paper in all law proceedings ; and the frequency
of appeals. The latter practice diminishes the re-
spect paid to the local judgment, trebles the cost of
procedure, and enables the heaviest purse to win.
The stamp regulation is so odious that it is a cur-
rent saying among th© people, that " the courts of
justice are turned into shops for the sale of stamps."
-We have not space to follow the 'native writer
through his long but temperate list of the causes

SUNDAY SPECIAL EVENING SERVICES AT ST.
PAUL'S.—The services will commence every Sunday at
seven p.m. The west doors will be opened for the public.
As soon as the cathedral is filled the doors will be closed,
which will be clearly announced. The preachers appointed
by the Bishop of London for the present month are—The
Very Rev. the Dean of St. Paul's, on the sth; the Lord
Bishop of Ripon, on the 12th ; the Rev. Dr. Rook, Vicar
of Leeds, on the 19th; and the Rev. W. Cadman, Rector
of St. George's, Southwark, on the 26th.

[AnvEuTtsEmtvr.l—Rarey's Horse and Cattle Improv-
ing Food is equally adapted to improve the stamina of ill-
conditioned Horses, Cows, Bullocks, Calves, Sheep, and
Pigs. It causes no extra expense, as it contains far more
and better nourishment than its cost of lid. per feed sup-
plies in corn and hay; hence ensures an actual saving in
the keep. But its principal advantages are a great improve-
ment in the digestive functions, the stamina and general
condition of horses enabling them to perform far more
labour without getting distressed. It imparts new vigour
to sick, debilitated, or old apparently worn-out horses, and
it puts rapidly the finest flesh on cattle generally,tra and m

William Morley, sub-warder, said,—On Tuesda
afternoon, about 20 minutes past 2, Warder Goo
win asked the prisoners if they had anything
exchange. The prisoner was sitting on the front
seat, which he left, and as he passed me I noticed
he had a piece of meat, about an ounce in weight ,
in his pannikin. The next thing-that dre:w my
attention was the sound of a blow, the other
prisoner calling out, "He's got a knife, sir." On
looking in that direction I saw Goodwin staggering
back, the blood pouring from his mouth, and Mor-
ris rushing to the prisoner, saying, " What would
you do, man ?" The prisoner was then brandishing
the knife over his head. I saw the knife descend
twice, and he held the knife as a dagger. Onpush-
ing the prisoner on one side I saw that Morris was
stabbed, and bleeding profusely from a wound in
the neck. I then seized the prisoner and said,
You silly man, what have you done ?" He said,
" I hope he is dead ; for there are two or three more
that want settling." I took him, and the prisoner
said he would go quietly.
Prisoner—Did you take notice where the knife
was when I passed you ?
Witness-1/01141ml it in your hand.
Stephen Roberts—l was a prisoner in the same
ward as the prisoner, and was having my dinner
with him on Tuesday. I was on the back seat and
heard the prisoner say "My meat stinks." The

' bone. Goodwin said the meat was beautiful, there
was nothing the matter with it. The prisoner re-
plied " It is," and drew his right hand up, in which
I saw a knife. He drew it from his sleeve and held
it as a dagger, and he was about to strike Goodwin
in the neck, when I said "He has got a knife."
Goodwin then turned round and the knife caught
him on the mouth. Morris was standing close by,
and attempted to lay hold of the prisoner, but be-
fore he could do so the prisoner struck Morris two
or three times with the knife in the face and neck.
The prisoner had his hand up about doing it again
when I caught hold of him by the wrist. I hear
the prisoner say "There are two or three of you
want doing for here." Morley said, " Whitt a
foolish fellow you are to do such a thing as that,"
when the prisoner said " I will put their lights out
in about a minute."
Mr. Tyrwhitt—Did you see the knife before the
prisoner struck the blow ?
Witness—No, he had it up his sleeve.
Walter Dunn, another prisoner, said—Warder
Goodwin, on Tuesday afternoon, was engaged weigh-
ing meat, to see that the prisoners had full weight.
Prisoner went about 12 yards to Goodwin and com-
plained of his meat not being sweet. Goodwin exa-
mined it, and said he would not change it. With
that, the prisoner struck Goodwin on the right side
of the face, moving his right hand as if he was
shifting something from his sleeve and then made
another " job "at Goodwin with a knife. At the
same time the prisoner said, " You , I gill
put: your light out of you if you do not give
me what is right." Morris ran and seized the pri-
soner, when the prisoner caught hold of Morris and

I saw him distinctly job at him four times with his
right hand, while he held him in his left. When
the prisoner was seized Morley said, " You will be

and then go
towards Goodwin. I recollect the day before (Mon-
day), and heard Goodwin say to the
prisoner, "You
have been here before, how many times . " The
prisoner said; " once," when
Goodwin said, " twice."
Goodwin then went.away, when the prisoner used
an opprobrious term in reference to him.
The prisoner here said he did not sit next to the
witness on Tuesday. He should like to have one of
the other persons called, because he could prove
how the knife really was in the pannikin.
Mr. Tyrwhitt said any witness the prisoner
wanted should be called, upon which
George Fordham Collier said that when the pri-
soner got up from his seat on Tuesday with his pan-
nikin he had the knife in it, and not up his sleeve.
Prisoner—That is true, and I had the knife in
the panikin when I passed Warder Morley. The
warder spoke to me first.
Mr. Tyrwhitt, having cautioned the prisoner in
the usual form, asked him what he had to say in
answer to the charge, telling him that what he did
say would be taken down in writing, and might be
used in evidence against him at his trial.
The prisoner—l. will say what I have got to say
when I go before a jury; for I do not know that
what is taken down will not be altered.
Mr. Tyrwhitt committed the prisoner to New-
gate for trial on the charge of cutting and wound-
ing with intent to murder.
The prisoner asked when he could have his hand-
cuffs off. He had had them on 72 hours, and was
in dreadful pain.
• The governor said he would see to it,
andthe
prisoner was taken back to his cell.
