The essential object of this treatise is to point out the fearful con-
•einetil'es resulting from certain habits, irregularities, and excesses,
which have produced 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, end who are conscious of having hazarded
the hoplth, happin:ss, and privileges to which every human being is
entltleo.

It is absolutely necessary that all men should know that there are
p incipies of personal management which cannot be violated with-
oat incurring' grievous penalties, and when wisdom and regret suc
ceed the heyday of inconsiderate self-indulgence, Jew those penalties
nay be mitigated, how the sting of their bitterness may be7removed,
.nihow the evil and its consequences may be avoided, and, above all,
tiftt there is scarcely any degree of physical infirmity or functional
range'nent to which the timely aid of science cannot apply a cure.

INDIA.

BOMBAY, APRIL 24.

The present mail will ba interesting for the fell
details it gives 'of the important operations in
Rajpootana and Central India, which terminated
in the capture a lotah and Jhansi. Every one
agrees that the capture of Kotah, and the plan
upon which the siege was carried on, was masterly,
but the whole operations were neutralised by the
cArelessncss with which thez enemy was rrmitted
to escape from the town after the storm took place.

oilthe enemy's advance, had again been ordered to
unite with the 2d, was moved,to a position on the
right, and directed to advance, and; if possible meet
the rebelsleft. Brigadier Stuart had already marched
about ten miles iri the direction appointed, when
the fire of the rebels 'al tacking the Brigade under
Sir Hugh was heard. The main body-of the enemy
yaltiirrnoiwiligng forfrard the whole of April 1 commenced
a g
had concentrated itself in front of our right, and
at six
locaketon
on the
strength of his artillery, with two regiMents of
of Seprys and 500 horse in support. Their guns
Opened upon uswithin 500 yards range. Orders ran
down bur lines to lie down, and as_ the infantry
did so, our field gansunlimberel and returned the
enemy's fire. • Captain: Lightfoit.'s bat' ery, sup-
ported by infant.ry :of the Hyclrabad Contingent,
Was the first engaged. The fire from it was kept
up with great precision, and responded to by the
enemy without intermission. Neither side appeared
illingti beesilenced. Sir Hugh'in order to create
a .diversion erdered out the 14th,'Drag;ons under
Captain Prettejohn and Mr, 'Mahon, who, taking
a sweep, charged the enemy's right in flank and
threw them into some disorder. Sill the rebel
guns kept their ground, and anctlii.-r charge was
determined on. 'According to the-let-tern. received
there wan some he3itation at' this moment. The
general widied 16jor Oir to dirge on this po-
sition, from—s want 6f celerity of movemeat, or the
men being Irfegular4, they did not trnderstind
cha:gin;, guns ; so Sir Hugh went off and brought
a troop ( f the 14th Dragoons—Capt. Need's—to
see if they could follow them. He put himself and
staff at the head of the "Dr.lgoonß, and led the
charge in first-za‘e style, in front of a heavy fire of
infantry and attillery. The enemy were panic-
stricken and fled.

It remains as yet unexplaieed -why the Hydras
bad Contingent, under Major Orr, shrank at the
order to charge ; nor is it known whether the hesi,
tation arose from the attitude assumed by the men;
or from that of the officer in command. The genes
ral himself, however, by charging in person, de-
cided the daY.
The rebel right, in its movement of retreat, was
unfortunate enough to come unawares en Brigadit
Stuart's force returning from its first advance in the
morning. The brigade was about six miles from
Jlasn,ii.when the enemy was ob.servel erewning a
hill top to the rigl, t fr.( nt. The advant e was seunded,
the cavalry was thrown forward, en.l the brigade oe
rounding the front of a low Lill, found the enemy
4,000 strong, halted in position in a vil'age cn the
declivity. The 86th, thrown out in skirm'shing
order, cleared the neighbouring heights, and moved
on to the attack of the main body. of rotel artillery,
with the 25th N. I. in support. They were met in
the adver ce by a steady fire, which was returned
with effect by their Etefield rifl s. The attack and
retreat of- the enemy we: e simultaueous. The Gre-
nadiers of the 86th vitro seen moving. over some
heaps of stones, end an old wall, behind which they
had taken cover, and with a cheer charjeg acr, s=
the grain field at the gun ; but f st as 'they went
they were not fast enough. An officer era a whit!
horse was seen tearing acres the intermediate
space, now hid fcr a moment by the smoke of the
enemy's artillery, but again seen at the guns sla-h-
-ing right and left. The fire of these lint] now ccasd,
and the gallant adjutant of the 86th was seen
waving his sward over a captured. gun. And now
arose deafening cheers from both regiments coming
up : the enemy had turned and fled over the hill.
The 86th, after exploring the villsge, pared
through it, btft scarcely a shot was fired on th m
tll they got to the other side, when a. heavy
fire was opened on them from behind some atones
on a little eminence. Here they had formed and
were making aregular retreat, with their rear-guard
c,u the hill ; but nothing could withstaed the 86th,
.who, again chargfrgesthearrrthe hill, captured two
el:Thaws pool several camels of ammunition, cut-
ting, shooting, and bayonetting numbers of the
guard. Here the adjutant was again in front,
slashing right and left, and encouraging the men.
The enemy were now en the plain ; such a beauti-
ful place for the cavalry, who were moving on at
the trot, when elcse up. at the gallop, and with
them the adjutant of the 86th on his white horse,
and his men close at his heels ; the rebels saw what
was coming ; and about a hundred of them taking
possession of a small wall, poured a destructive fire
on the cavalry, which b► ought many to the grcund,
and emptied several saddles, among the former
was tl e white horse. The 96th men were not idle,
and a few of them coming up at this moment
charged the wall with a yell, and obliged the enemy
again to turn.. Captan Giles, of the 14th Dra-
goons, getting his handful of men again altoge'her,
charged gallantly, and with Lim, on a horse wli,)se
saddle had been emptied, the adjutant of the 86th ;
but not to. go far, as a bullet caught the horse on
the ht a I, and down they both came to the ground ;
but this brave officer was not to be stepped. He
mounted another horse, and again dashed forward
to the charge, but, ere long, his horse was seen to
rear madly into the air, and both came to the
ground, the horse having been shot through the
heart. lie again mounted, and used,his sword to
some purpose before the halt was sounded. The
troops had been on foot 48 hours, and were about
done up. The enemy were,. close to some rocky
hills, fr om which they could not be dislodged without
serious less, and perhaps another night in the field.
The whole, therefore, marched home in triumph.
The attempt of the rebels to relieve Jhansi having
thus been successfully disposed of, the siege pro-
gressed rapidly, and the treach in the left attack
was considered sufficiently wido to permit of an
assault on the morning of April 3. The attack on
the breach was led by Captain Darby, Major Stuart
took that by the ladders; both got in ; they fought
through the town, and charged to the gate of the
for'. The town and fort swarmed with the enemy ;
their fire was murderous, but the 86!h held its own.
The 3d. Europeans found their ladders too short,
and when Lieutenants -Dick Meiklejohn of the
Engineers had reached the top, and had been as-
sisted on to the crest of the wall by their own men, '
they were suddenly seized, dragged inside, and cut
to pieces by the enemy, the breaking of the ladders
at the time rendering it impossible fcr the men to
follow. The enemy made a most obstinate stand r
at the Palace, but Colonel Lowth, of the 86t1), with
some men of the 3d, 86th, and the 25th Native

Infantry, succeeded, after repeated attempts, in
forcing a door open with a beam of wood ; the
enemy soon after fled, not, however, before the
scoundrel 3 succeeded in shooting a brave officer,
Colonel Turnbull, of the Artillery, who was hittin
the palace yard whilst speaking to Colonel Lowth.
Everything in the lalace was found in excellent
order, especially the Rance's bedroom, a very
pret'y place, in which wen found two large
slyer bedsteads, withbeautiful s 1k bedding, &c.
On the morning of the sth th© fort was found to
have been evacuated during the nigh', and was im-
mediately taken posaesion of by Brigadier Stuart
(Ist Brigade), and tha British flag plaut.d on its
topmost•pinnacle by an officer of the 86th, Lieut.
Cochrane.

The number of dead bodes (says a correspon-
dent) lying in every street, ai.d in many of the
houses, was very great. Oa the third and fourth
days the stanches and s'ghts we're beyond descrip-
tion. TLe bodies were collected togethe-, however,
and burnt, raid the place is now getting better, l.ut
not equal to Price and Gestell's perfumery.' A
quantity of jewels and money ci as found wailed up
in the palace, and doubtless a larger quantity is
buried. Up to the present time, I think 10 lace
worth have tinned up, with lets of precs:fugstoneF,
jewellery, Ltsc. Eight elephants fetched 8,600 rs.
It appears that our unfortunat people, after hav-
ing been taken outside the city ells, were killed
on the road, and some two or throe days after the
bodies of the men were thrown into one pit and
those of these of the la'iies cn'l children into an-
