The essential object of this treatise is to point out the fearful con-
' sequences resulting from certain habits, irregularities, and excesses,
which have produced more misery in Youth, degradation in Man-
Food, and Premature decay at all stages of life, than, perhaps, any
other class of ills, use known to modern pathologists. Its perusal is
particularly recommended to persons entertaining secret doubts of
their phys col condition, and who are conscious of having hazarded
the bot ilk, happiness, and privileges to which every human being is
enttleo.

It la absolutely necessary that all men should know that there are
rinciplcs of personal management which cannot be violated with-
(lit incurring grievous penalties, and when wisdom and regret suc-
,(ed the heyday of inconsiderate self-indulgence, how those penalties
,r ay be mitizated, bow the sting of their bitterness may he removed,
,nd how the evil and its consequences may be avoided, and, above all,
,hat there IR scarcely any degree of physic il infirmity or functional
'erangement to which the timely aid of science cannot apply a cure.

Heaven grant we m •er have men to spare for the
pros, rvation of that mighty empire in which, while
I. speak; under burning suns, against infuriated
numbers, and before wa'ls which are reeleino with
the bloo t oF violeted women and murdered chil
dren, English valour and endurance are affording
to Europ-e a suld me spectacle of mere then Spartan
fortitude and Roman discipline. That, my lord, is
a thought which naturally suggests itself in your
presence, for we have drunk your health this evee-
ing, not so much as a private individuel who has
consented to adorn our anniversary meeting, but as
the lord-lieutenant of the county and the head of
that force which Hertfordshire contributes to the
wellspring which supplies our armies. The militia
is the main source of our strength and indepen-
dence, for if enables us, being safe at home, to send
our armies wherever our honour needs a champion,
our empire a defender. Small as this county is in
the map of the kingdom, it was second to none in
which its militia, tlie readiness and -zeal with
admir-
ably officered and drilled, responded to the appeal of
your lordship during the Russian war. But the war
that has now broken out is snot, like the Russian
war, for the asset, ion of an abstract principle of
justice, for the defence of a foreign throne, or for
protection against a danger that did not threaten
ourselves more than the rest of Europe it is for
the maintenance of the British empire. It is a
struggle of life and death for our rank among the
rulers of the earth. It is not a war in which we
c enbat by the side of brave and gallant allies, but
one in which we fight siuglehended against fearful
odds, and in whicet we must neither expect nor
desire foreign aid. I do not know whether I
ought to apologise that a topic, which I think
must be uppermost in our minds, has thus forced
itself to my lips ; yet it seems to me that, if so, the
blame must shared by the gentlemen whom I see
around me, for, whenever I see an audience com-
posed chiefly of farmers and yeomen, I am apt to
• con.ider that T toehold an assembly so emphatically
English that nothing which vitally affects English
interests, English honour, English empire, can be
foreign to the object of such a meeting. If you re-
spond to that sentiment—if yon thick that I am
not introducing anything which is foreign to what
is uppermost iu your minds—l hope I may venture
to request youripermissiOn to say a few words more.
(Hear.) My lord, I think it is no wonder that the
heal t of England is up—that the slow progress of
recruiting for the regular army, and even the con-
stitutional resource of the militia, should not sa-
tisfy the ardour of an aroused people. It •is no
wonder that our journals should teem with offers
of volunteers, and from a class threat has never be-
' fore furnished us with private soldiers. I am told
that it is difficult for the War-office to avail itself of
these offers. Difficult ! why, of course it is. There
is nothing worth having that is not difficult. My
life,..andl suppose the life of every man among you
who has worked with hand or head, has been one
long contest with difficUlties, and none of us would
be the men we now are if eve had tamely allowed
difficulties to conquer us. (Cheers) Therefore I
I say it will not be to the ci e _lit of the Go-
vernment or the War-office if they cannot devise
some practical menus by which to discipline and
orgaui-e so much ardour. I should be sorry if we
lost the occasion to show to Europe how England,
when necess ,ry, can start at once into a military
nation without the tyranny of con.criptions, and
with ut the ruinous extravagance of large standing
armies. (Cheers.) The blood of many a sour
English yeoman must have run cold in his veins
when he read of the atrocious massacres of Delhi
and Cawnpore, and he must have panted t 3 show,
as his forefathers often did before, that there is no
met for a sword like the iron ploughshare. Of
volunteer sin such amuse there can be no lack. If
I were but 10 years younger I would remember •
that I am the son of a soldier, and would be
a volunteer myself—(cheers)—and even now, if I
thought it pcosible that the young, the robust, and
the adventurous needed an example from those-
whose years, habits, and station might be supposed
to incline them to refuse, I declare I should be
amerg you to canvass, not for votes, but for men,
and should myself lead them against the enemies of
our nice. (Cheers.) But if volunteers are to be
of use they must have good sense as well as will.
They must submit to th discipline and organiza-
tion of soldiers ; and, although I think it is but a
reasonable demand that when they are collected
fro irn thesame neighbourhood they should be formed
into the same corps, because they would then eno
courage each other, yet they must be aware that it
would be wrong to ask for the privileges which
aro incompatible with • the present constitution of
the British army, and which, if granted, might
create discontent and jealousy among the veterans
of the professional service. Nor must we forget
that, invaluable as the aid of volunteers would be
upon special occasions and for limited periods to
that arm—the cavalry—which our militia does not
supply, yet for the regular reinforcement of that
army which for a long time India must reqUire we
ought to look alone to the constitutional resource
of the militia. (Hear, hear.) The whole question
of India must shortly command our most thought-
ful consideration. We are not now getting up dis-
cussions between town and country. -One object
is uppermost in the minds of all—the preservation
of our empire. (Rear, hear.) The present is not

stcle the revolt in India. I may, lis
place, to criticize the policy
thewhich time,h n
a sroTro
du
per-
haps, be permitted to say that revolutions or revolts
are never sudden. Those which appear to us to
have been so had always given long previous,though
be neglected, warnings. Revolts and re-
volutionsit might

are mine.the springing of mine. The
mustbliehollowed, the barrels filled, the
train laid, and the match fired before we can
be startled by the explosion ; and therefore the man
who tells us that a revolt which must have taken
months, if not years, to organize no prudence could
have &mean, or no energy could have prevented,
only asks us to believe that policy is an accident and
government a farce. Butthe whole of that question
it will be the duty of Parliament to examine, not

the force of party to bear
have committed mere
human errors of judgment—and, after all, the pub-
lic itself is not free from blame for its long indiffer-
ence of our Eastern empire—but for the purpose of
obtaining knowledge and guidance for the future.
And now, nay lords ana gentlemen, having con-
cluded thefew and desultory remarks whichl wished
to make, I must again thank you for the compli-
ment you have kindly paid to my colleagues and
myself, assuring you that as long as I have a seat in
Parliament I shall endeavour to do my duty con-
scientiously, grateful to those who have trusted and
confided in me, but at the same time entertaining no

MR. .DISRA.ELI ON THE INDIAN CTISIS.

The 25th anniversary of the Royal Bucks Agri-
cultural Association was celebrated at Newport
Pagnell yesterday. This small market town pre-
sented an animated appearance throughout the day.
There was a large influx of fanners and farm la-
bourers, a
.triumphal arch of evergreens decorated
the principal street, and a band of music enlivened
the multitude. Ploughing Matches took plaCe in
the morning, and the operations of a' steam plough
attracted much notice. In the afteinoon the annual
dinner was hell at the Anchor Inn. in the same
apartment in which the leader of the Opposition in
the House of Commons a few monthe ago delivered
the Conservative manifestoouParliamentaryßefoim,
church rates, and other topics of domes ie interest,
now wholly overshadowed by the gr tvity of the In-
dian crisis. On this occasion Mr. Disraeli was the
only one of the three county members present. Up-
wards of 150 gentlemen, however, sat down to din-
ner and were presided over by Mr. P. D. P. Dun-
combs. The usual loyal and patriotic toasts having
been duly honoured and the prizes formally
awarded,
Mr. DIIINCY proposed " The Health of the
County Members,'' taking occasion to eulogise the
foresight and sagacity which had been 'displayed
by Mr. Disraeli in regard to the Indian mutiny,
and also to animadvert on the levity of Min:raters
quitting their posts to indulge in autumnal` sports
at so critical a conjuncture.
The toast was received with enthusiasm.

Mr. DISRAELI, who was greeted with loud ap-
plause, said—Geetlemen, I beg to express to you,
on behalf of my colleagues and myself, our grateful
sense of the honour you have conferred upon us.
Although Mr. Cavendish and Mr. DU Pre are ab
sent on this occasion, I can assure you—if there
be any need of such an assurance—that whenever
the interests of the county of Buckingham are c oi-
cerned no feeling of party politics or party connexion
exists between us, and that we %to rk together with
one sentiment and one object—viz , to promote
your interests, and to guard your rights and privi-
lag,a. When we met some short time ago in this
town, and, indeed, in this room, the prospects of
the harvest, although looking faVourable; were still
uncertain: It is a great source of satisfaction to me
to appear among you again to day, and to be able
to congratulate you that, by the blessing of Provi-
dence, you have gathered a harvest which has sel-
dom been rivalled for its exuberance and its wealth•
Indeed, I think I may say without exaggeration
that the general condition of our county, from the
extreme north to the extreme sonth, is now ono of
great prosperity. It cannot be denied that during
those years in which this society has been in
existence there has been a considerable improve-
ment in the cultivation of the soil of this county.
Of course I am far from attributing that gre it
result to the operations of this institution,
which, although always useful, have necessarily
been but limited in extent. Of late years other
societies have arisen in this district with similar
objects, and at times there has been—l think most
unwisely—a feeling of jealousy among the suppor-
ters of the older institutions.- For my own part, I
have never shared in that sentiment, but, on the
contrary, have always felt that the more these
societies were encouraged the more advantageous
it would be for the country. It must be a source of
great gratification to us to have at this board one
so much entitled to our respect, not only for his
personal character, but for the credit which his un-
rivalled herd and his success ,as a cultivator gene-
rally have brought upon the agriculture of -this
country, as my friend Mr. Dauncy, who is in a few
days to preside over the festival of a society which
was once thought to be arrayed in hoAility to the
institution the anniversary of which we are now
celebrating. Gentlemen, I hardly know that I
should have ventured to allude to any other topic
were it not felt, I think, by almost every one that
at this moment no body of Englishmen can meet
w.t tout making some slight reference td the lament-
able state of afftirs which is now presented in our
Eastern dominions ; and, indeed, my hon. friend
Dauncy, than whom no one is more strict,
rightly strict, in preventing auy admixture, how-
ever slight, of party politics iu these agricultural
as=semblages—a principle which I always uphold—
has himself set me an example by what I am sure
was his irresistible allusion to the circu, list ►ncas in'
which the country is now placed. On that subject,.
therefore, I shall take the liberty of making one or
two brief observations. Remembering how very
recently we were assembled in this chamber—only
five months ago—it is imp ssible for me to forget
that since that time one of the greatest calamities
that ever befel this empire has unhappily come
upon us. This is certainly not a fitting occasion on
which to enter into the causes of these great disas-
ters, or to inquire who are the individuals upon
whom the responsibility for them must ultimately
rest. But I , think there are two considerations
which cannot at such a moment be absent from
the minds of Englishmen. In the breast of
every man there must now exist af,eling of profound
sympathy for those of our fellow-subjec's in India
whose sufferings have dimmed every eye and pained
every heart in the kingdom. And there must be
equally present in every mind an anxiety that the
Government should at this crisis take those steps
which may be adequate to the occasion to vindicate
our empire and maintain our glory. (Cheers.) These
are not party politics ; they are the feelings now up-
permost in the heart of every Englishman. I believe
it is now also the universal conviction that the de-
scription originally given of these unfortunate and
extraordinary movements in India was not autbo
rised by the circumstances of the case. Day by day
we have seen that which was at first characterised as
a slight and accidental occurrence is in fact one of
those great events which form epochs in the history
of mankind, and which can only be accounted for
by considerations demanding the de-pest attention
from statesmen and nations. But, although three
months have elapsed since the startling news of these
disasters originally arrived in England—although
every succeeding mail has brought to us gloomy in-
telligence, showing that these disasters are culmi
naing to a proportion infinitely more tot rible than
the country at first imagined—although we cannot
flatter ourselves that either by the next mail, or by
the mail after that, or even for a considerable period

_ much evil, still I do not- now,
it d. I never have, counselled despondency. or des-
ir. ir. (Chsers.) But lam persuaded that if we wish t
too repair these mifortunes we must recognise their
magnitude "and importance, and that it is only
u,on - this :recognition that -we can devise reme-
dies adequate to the emergencSie (Hear, hear.)
E hare said that every succeeding Mail bee-, like the
One which has last arrived, brought us gloomier
tidings. We were told at first that though the
Bengal army had proved false, - yet • that the
armies of Bombay and Madras. could be entirely
depended upon. Week after week, hawever, we
have found that the hopes- we' have indulged have
been fallacions'in both of these respects. Greater
disasters may occur. . We shall probably learn that
the Mahar itta,princes have risen up against us. We i
must prepare ourselves for an insurrection in i' ,
Punjab—a province- which we are always told ha-ii
Mean faithful.' Nevertheless, -if , England, instea,'
of being induc^d to treat these events as merely ac-
cidental, casual, , and compartitively trifling, wi'l
comprehend that the issue' at stake is enor-
mous and the peril.colossal, I have not the slightest
doubt that a .nation so great in spirit and in
_re-
sources as our own will prove that it is equal to
cope with dangers of even that magnitude. Our
perils arise not merely ft om those wh' have rebelled
against our authority--our dangers spring not alone
from the insurrection which may rage in our distant
dependencies : if we undervalue the gravity of the
crisis in Which we are -placed leer greatest danger
will be ourselves. I may be permitted, therefore,
to express my Itipe and belief that if towards the
end of this year a force of sufficient strength is
landed on the shores of Hindostan, if force is guided
with the wisdom and energy we have a right to ex-
pect, if the measures taken are strong and compre-
hensive enough for the emergency, we shall be able
to vindicate oar empire, and shall have an oppor-
tunity, of which we may avail ourselves, to lay the
foundation's of a stable and, I trust, a virtuous Go-
Vernment. And allow me to say—and Ido it invi
diously to no one—that I deeply regret that we do
hot see the pre?aration which the occasion seems
io justify. I would ask this question, as the sub-
ject has been introduced to us, not with reference
to the conduct of any political party, but with re-
gard to what at this moment most deeply interests
Englishmen—" How is it that all this time the
navy of England never appears to have played any
part in the measures of preservation to which
we have had recourse ?" We are now told that
it is mainly by imaging ourselVes of our gun-
boats that wo shall be able to penetrate into the
interior and convey succour to beleaguer.' coun-
trymen.. But there is not a gunboat in
India. I see by the last accounts that the acci-
dental arrival of a single frigate—the Shannon—wss
hailed with rapture by the inhabitants of Calcutta.
Why, there are 50 frigates like the Shannon in Eng-
land. What are they doing? Where are they-? Why
are they not there? Are they cleaning their decks
and squaring their yards? But if the casual arrival
of a single frigate so much emboldens the authori-
ties of Cslcu-ti, and gives so much hope and encou-
iagement to our European popu'ation, I say that is
a proof that we ought to have an adequate naval
force there' and that thereshould be gtmbo its, which
might at this moment carry help and relief to our
besieged countrymen at Lucknow and Agra. I take
this opportunity of expressing my hope that the
people of this country will convey to those in au-
thority that at the present juncture, while they are
ready to support any Ministry in any measures
which will assert the empire of England and tend
to bring rescue to our suffering countrymen in In-
dia, they do expect from any Government that this
noble disposition should be wisely taken advantage
of, and that the measures devised should be com-
mensurate with the exigency. There is but one
more point oonnected with this unhappy subject on
which I will venture to tomb. When an opportu-
nity is offered to us, and when at the end of the
year that great advance into' the country takes
place which we anticipate, I have no doubt, and I
expect, that all that retribution—if we may use the,
expression—which the solemn necessity of the case
requires to be exacted. But I may be permitted to
add that I bust nothing more will be. exacted than
the necessity of this case does require. The horrors
nee'VZ. newtno ut4nela.nt The hciprore of a war
carried on as the War in India is at present eepeci- T
ally need no-stimulant. I am persuaded that-our
soldiers and sailors will exact a retribution which it
may, perhaps, be too.terrible to pause upon. But I
do without the slightest hesitation declare my hum-
ble disapprobation at persons of high authority an-
nouncing that upon the standard of England " ven-
geance," and not "justice," should be inscribed. ,
At this moment I see by the newspapers that her
Majesty has i,sued a proclamation for a day ofsolemn
fast and humiliation, when she, inviting her people
to join her, will humble herself before the Almighty,
acknowledge her sins and those of her people, and
express her' belief that in the existence of those sins
some cause .of these terrible calamities maybe fiiund.
Now'how inconsistent it is for us as a great and
good people to obey- commands so earnestly com-
municated to us by our Sovereign, to talk of lists
and humiliations, .and at the same time announce
that in the conduct of our foes we are to find the
model of our own behaviour. I for one protest
against taking Nana Sahib as a model for our con-
duct for the British soldier. I protest against meet-
ing atrocities by atrocities. (Hear.) I have heard
things said and even seen things written of late
-which would make me almost suppose that the re-
ligious opinions of the people of England had un-
dergone some sudden change, and that instead of
bowing before the name of Jesus we were preparing
to revive the worship of Moloch. (Hear.) I c.nnot
believe that it is our duty to indulge in such a
spirit. I think that what has happened in India is
a ereat Providential lesson, by which we may pro-
fit t';
and if we meet it like brave and inquiring men
we may assert our dominion and establish for the
future in India a Government which may prove at
once lasting and . honourable to this country.
(Hear.) 1 hope that the clergy of our church, on
the occasion that is impending, will seize-the op-
portunity
afforded them, while they support the
spirit of the peaple by the consciousness of the
Divine assistance, to impreis at the same time on
the national mind that this is a Christian country,
and that the character of a Christian warrior is not
only to be brave but to Le charitable. (Hear.) I
will not enter further into this engrossing topic. It
was impossible for me at such a moment to remain
entirely silent upon it. My object has been to insist
upon two points which ought not to be absent from
ourminds—viz , sympathy withoursuffering fellow-
ceuntrymen and countrywomen in India ; and also
a determination to enforce upon the Government
that the preparations for the future shall be ade-
quate to thegravity of the occasion. As the arrange-
ments for our meeting in this county, owing to
geographicel and other circumstances, are extremely
difficult, I would also express a hope that steps
may be taken so that Buckinghamshire may not be
found wanting at 'such a moment in offering that
contribution, to the. national fund now iu comae of
collection which I am sure the honour and the best
feelicg of the county would prompt. I trust when
it is my' privilege to meet you again that tile aspect
of affairs may not be so gloomy as at present. If
they do assume a much brighter character, depend
upon it that hal:4;y change will not be due to
our having treated grave events in a depreciating
spirit. There is no error so serious as to under-
rate peril. 'We should be prepared to encounter
every danger when our duty requires us to assume
such an attitude. But I never know disaster which
upon the whole could not be traced to the dealing
in a light tone, and in a temper inadequate to the
occasion, with the commencement of great perils.
I think the people of this country have at length
been awakened to the importance of the contin-
gency ; and whenever the opinion of the nation i
so aroused—whenever England knows that she has
to put forth her kreatest energies—l have never
(Sear.
found that she has failed in the result. )
I am persuaded that. if...a serious and :f his oltemnbeingcon-
viction pervades the land, that instead
occasioned, as was
but a partial military mutiny,
alleged by a person of high authority when it first
impulse
.cf the resment it is
happened, by a meres
in reality a great and formidable rebellion ; that,
comprehending the true position of the empire, we
shall be able to take those measures, endure those
sacrifices, and make those exertions which will vin-
dicate our imperial power, and keep England what
I hope she will long remain—the leading nation of
the world. (Cheers.)
Among the other toasts drunk during the even-
ing were " The health of his Grace the Duke of
Buckingham, president of the association," and

the subscriptions through the county should be
conducted in the same way as with the Patriotic
Fund, and that when returned they should be for-

placed himself at the head of this great and patriotic
object. (Applause). _ . .

Patriotic Fund subscription was all complete, and
could easily be put in operation. ..

MURDER A•ND BURGLARY IN
CITE4HIRE.

Yester3ay morning, about two o'clock, the house
ofl James Heuderson, a grazier and cattle
dealer, was entered by burglars, who shot him in
his bed. The house is situate on the roadside
leading from Cheadle to Brainhall, and is three -
miles from Stockport. We have gathered from the
police in charge the following facts. The family
retired to rest at night about the usual hour and
made all safe. The father, owing to his wife being •
ill, sleeps alone, on the same &rr, however, as the
two daughters and their mother and the eldest son,
James. The mother's room is on the right of the
father's, the son's and daughter's on the left, and
they are all entered from the second lauding of the
stairs. Thomas, a younger son, and two servants.
ep in the garret at the back of the house, and all
in the same room. About two o'clock the family
were awoke by the report of a gun or pistol, and
James, whose chamber door is close to his father's,
immediately jumped out of bed and seized 'a double-
barrelled guo, which stood loaded hard by. He
suddenly opened hie door, which is directly oppo-
site to the landing, or landing below. He saw
what he took to be the dark outlines of a man, and
immediately he fired. The man shrieked aloud
and made his escape, evidently being scarcely
touched. After James had fired at the man on the
landing, he and some other members of the family
went into their father's room, where they found the
poor old man weltering in his blood in bed. We
should have stated that directly the sou had fired
at the man on the landing, two other men rushed
down stairs, and all three made their exit by the
hack door of the house, which leads into a court-
yard. Thinking the wounded thief might be some-
where upon the premisee, both the sons and the
two servants went in search of him, first loading
the gun. Their search, however was futile and we
roar, -from-the shot entering the wall behind the -
fellow, that he was not hit at all. On making
search as to whether any money had been taken by
the thieves, they found that a leather trunk had
been cut open, from which 141. 10s. was missing ;
but they had taken nothing else.
.*
By what means the thieves entered is not known.
The house is quite lonely. In the room of the
murdered man there was a desk, which contained
an order on the Bank of Scotland for 1001., and a
receipt from the Manchester and Liverpool District
Bank for 93/. 10s. The desk was not broken open
and the money remained untouched.
It seems that Mr. Henderson had hi's annual
cattle sale on Monday .lass, the day before the
night on which the house was entered, and it is
thought the thieves, knowing this, expected a good
booty. The house is called Hardy Farm.
Messrs. Graham and Son, at the request of Mr.
Andrews, we believe, traced the course of the shot,
about 12 of which (size No. 6) they found I.dged
in the brain. Mr. Andrews is the district superin-
tending constable, and arrived on the spot with
some men about four a.m.

Mr. Henderson was a man much respected. We
believe the inquest will be held this day.

The Weimar Gazette, the offici .1 journal, in its num-
ber of Sunday announces in these terms the meeting
between the Emperors of Russia and Austria :—" The
two monarchs of Austria and Russia will be simultane..
ou-ly on the Ist of Oct. on a visit to this court, and will
consequently meet." '

complication of diseases, such as indigestion (dyspepsia),
flatulency, constipation, nervous, bilious, and liver com-
plaints, cough, asthma, . consumption, and debility,

1854. I have suffered these 33 years continually
from diseased lungs, spitting of blood, liver derangement,
deafness, singing in the ears, constipation, debility, shortness
of breath, and cough, and during that period taken so much
medicine that I can safely say I have laid out upwards of a
thousand pounds at the chemists and doctors. Indeed I was
in utter despair, and never expected to get over it, when I
was fortunate enough to become acquainted with your Reva-
lenta Arabica, which, Heaven be praised, restored me to
a state of health which I long since despaired of attaining.
My lungs, liver, stomach, head, and cars are all right, my hear-
ing perfect, and my recovery is a marvel to all my acquaint.

MADAME TUSSAUD'S EXHIBITION.—The group desig-
nated the Roy al Group in this museum contains many
ounces of attraction, as it includes nearly all the
monarchs of the pre,ent day, among which the Empeior
of Russia, Alexander 11., appears to attract the chief
attention of the visitors, no doubt in consequence of the
meeting of the two monarchs of Russia and France at
Stuttgardt, supposed on political matters. The figure is
considered an excellent likeness.
