REVIEWS OF THE WORK.
"Curtis on Manhood.—This is a truly valuable work, and
should be in the hands of young and old."—" Sunday Times,"
23d March, 1856.
"The author has conferred a great boon by publishing this
little work, in which is described the source of those diseases
which produce decline in youth or more frequently premature
old age."—" Daily Telegraph," March 27, 1856.
" This work, which for twenty years has stood the test of
professional criticism and empirical hostility, treats in a plain
and sympathising manner on the various disqualifications
and impediments arising from nervous excitement and de-
bility ; and to invalids suffering rrom youthful errors and
excesses it will be found valuable and useful."—Record.

INDIA.

By the arrival of the overland mail, we have ad-
vices from Bombay to July 12, and from Calcutta

via Bombay to June M.
Rain has fallen in great abundance all over India.
The present season bids fair in this respect to form
a parallel to that which succeeded the famine of
1837-38. In some places the young rice plants,
the sugar cane, and the indigo plants have suffered

severely.
The total fall of rain in Bombay amounts to about
45 inches. _ .

The Faniine Relief Committees are performing
:heir labours well in the North-West Provinces.

Nearly 10,000 people are being daily fed with
cooked food in Delhi alone, and fully that number
in the district are relieved in the same way. About

1,000 poor widows obtain weekly relief in money,
at the Delhi Gate. One thousand rupees a month

are distributed to families of respectability now

reduced to poverty, but ashamed to be seen seeking
charity. About 10,000 persons are employed daily
in some kind of work by the Relief Society and
Government. At Agra about 2,000 are daily em-
ployed on the relief works, and on the Futteghur
branch of the Ganges Canal about 4,000. So in

other places.
Great and increasing distress prevails in Pesha-
wur. Villages are being depopulated.

Famine is said to exist in Cabal.

There is but little prospect of the Commander-in-

Chief in India and the Head Quarters Staff of the

Army leaving Calcutta for the hills this year.
The Governor-General has called upon the local
governments for returns showing the amounts to
be realised from every source under the third sec-
tion of the Income Tax Act—viz., duty of 1 per
cent. for reproductive public works up to Ist August
next; and has asked for suggestions as to the best
mode of disposing of the amounts.
The Govarnor-General has also called on the
local governments for reports containing any sug-
gestions of alterations or amendments which the
practice of the past year has shown to be necessary
to the proper working of acts 32 and 39 of 1860,
the object of the reference being to amend the
forms and machinery for levying the income tax;

no departure from the principle of levying a direct
tax on incomes being contemplated, and no discus-

sion on such principle being allowed in the replies

o the reference.
The cash balances in the Government Treasuries

of India at the end of April last were :—Govern-
ment of India, Company's Rs., 2,89,19,909; Ben-
gal, 2,20,20,584 ; N.W. Provinces, 2,65,28,616 ;
Punjab, 1,07,58,115; Madras, 2,33,86,724 ; Bombay,
3,12,55,230. Total Co.'s Rs. 14,28,69,178, against
total in April, 1860, Co.'s Rs. 16,80,17,119; and in

1859 Co.'s Its. 10,70,70,203.
Shermakie, the Somali chief, has been seized by
the French, and carried off to Suez, to be tried and

probably hanged on the charge of having been
accessory to the supposed murder of Mr. Lambert,

the French consul, two years ago.
The French continue to make themselves very
busy in every part of the Red Sea.
The King of Bokhara, worsted in an encounter
with the rebels, applied to the Russians for aid,
and the Russian general directed a large force to
proceed to Bokhara. The opportunity has thus
occurred for the active interference of the Russians
in the political affairs of the States of Central Asia.
Dost Mahomed has given orders to his lieutenant,
Ufzul Khan, to give all possible aid to the rebels in
the event of the Russians assisting the other party.

The following notification we extract from the
Calcutta Gazette of the 26th June :
" Fort William, June 25, 1861.
" His Excellency the Governor-General in Coun-
cil, under instructions from her Majesty's Govern-
ment, is pleased to notify that, in order to oblite-
rate, as far and as soon as possible, the distinctions
between officers of her Majesty's British and Indian
services, and to afford to such officers of the Indian
army as may prefer the conditions of general ser-
vice an opportunity of obtaining a position in the
British army, her Majesty has been pleased to ap-
prove that, for every vacancy caused in a line regi-
ment by the transfer of an officer to the staff corps
constituted by the royal warrant of the 16th Jan.,
1861, a transfer of an officer of corresponding rank
in her Majesty's Indian army, who may be disposed
to accept of such transfer, should be made to the
regiment in which the vacancy takes place. Ap-
pointments of officers of the Indian army to the
vacancies in her Majesty's line regiments will not,
however, be made in India even provisionally ; but
his Excellency the Commander-in-Chief in India
will submit, through the Government of India, for
the consideration of his Royal Highness the General
Commanding-in-Chief, and for submission to her
Majesty, the name, rank, date of commission, and
nature of previous services of the officer whom his
excellency may recommend for each vacancy. The
officers so transferred will enter her Majesty's
line regiments as junior of their respective
grades, as is the case with officers of
the British army exchanging into regiments
of the line, and they will be placed in
all respects on the same footing as to pay, half-
pay, and leave of absence as other officers of
her Majesty's British regiments. Officers desirous
now or hereafter of being transferred to line regi-
ments are to submit their application to the com-
mander-in-chief of the presidency to which they
belong through the prescribed channel. The appli-
cations from officers of the Madras and Bombay
armies will be forwarded with the opinions of the
governments of those presidencies to the govern-
ment of India.

The Bombay Gazette says :—" India is unques,
tionably, at the present time, passing through the
greatest revolution she ever experienced. Of the
great phases of change which her history presents,
none is greater than that which is now being pre-
sented. The change affects the races that are to
people the country—the distribution and tenure of
property in the soil; the political, social, industrial,
intellectual, and religious life of the nation. It is
radical and rapid in the working: Perhaps in no
country in the world could such material changes
be so rapidly made with so much facility and with
so little political and social convulsion as in India.
The convulsion of 1857-58 were produced in some
measure by making English laws and customs too
greatly to outstride English ideas and feelings
throughout the masses of the populations. This is
to be guarded against in future. We must endea-
vour to make the material and moral changes ad-
vance pari passu. If either advance with due cau-
tion, it will bring up the other ; but if the material
advance too rapidly, leaving the moral far in the
rear, insecurity and danger will be the result. Let
a liberal policy be devised and pursued with refe-
rence to the education of the people; give greater
scope to the directions of public instruction, and
allow them to produce greater results. If the whole
truth on the subject of education could be known,
we should be more careful in selecting teachers
than in makihg laws. The country is at present in
the full enjoyment of peace, and its attention is
wholly turned to the arts of peace. So may it
ever lie."

We borrow from the Englishman the following
account of a trial trian which ran from Howrah
to Bhaugulpore on the East India Railway, on the
25th
fol f Junees pleasure in recording the sue-
al train which ran from Howrah

to Bhaugulpore on the East India Railway, on
Tuesday last, the 25th inst. The train left Howrah
at 5.15 a.m„ and reached Teen Pahar Junction, dis-
tance 195 miles, where the branch to Rajmahal
turns off, at 11.45 a.m. After a short stay at this
place, it proceeded on its course over the, at present,
unopened line. From this point the railway skirts
the foot of a magnificent range of hills in a continu-
ous series of curves, to a station called Maharajpoor,
14 miles from the junction, and still following the
base of the hills, it passes to Sahibgunge station, 10
miles further on. This station is situated directly
on the banks of the Ganges, and is one of the pret-
tiest on the whole line. Leaving this the line passes
on to Searmarree, Peerpointee station, 11 miles-
This station is just opposite to Carrighola Ghaut,
and will doubtless be the channel through which
the Darjeeling traffic will pus. Between Sahib.

gunge and this station the line passes through, and
by, the old Fort of Teleagurie, which must formerly
have been of great extent and strength, and now
forms a most picturesque ruin. The next station is
Colgong, 15 miles from Searmaree ; this is situated
close on the banks of the Ganges, and from the rail-
way a beautiful view of thecelebrated Colgong rocks,
rising up from the centre of the river, is obtained.
Passing on from Colgong to Ghoga station, sixmiles,
the line is carried on over steep embankments in
order to keep it above the influence of the inunda-
tion of the Ganges, which here overflows the adja-
cent country for a considerable extent. From Ghoga
to Bhaugulpore station, 13 miles, the line is- con-
struct ed in a similar manner ; the works all along
being of a very heavy description.
" The whole distance from Teen Pahar Juriction
to Bhaugulpore, 69 miles, was accomplished, dxclu-
sive of stoppages, in three hours: and ,a half, the
train arriving at 4.15 p.m. At- Ehaugulpore
triumphal arches of evergreens had been erected
across the line, and the whole population turned out
to welcome the first engine and train ever seen at
that station. In the evening the whole party and
station were entertained by the„engineers of the
railway, the enjoyment being Considerably en-
hanced, after the heat of the day, by a pleitiful
supply of ice that had only left Calcutta that Morn-

WEST COAST OF

RICA.

The Royal Mail steamship Ethiope, A. P. French,

commander, arrived in the Mersey on Saturday

from the West Coast of Africa, Teneriffe, and Ma-

deira. Her dates are:—Old Calabar, June, 29;

Camaroons, 3uly 1 ; Fernando Po, 2; Bonny, 6;
Brass and Nun, 7 ; Benin, 8 ; Lagos, 10 ; Accra,
12 ; Cape Coast, 'l4 ; Cape Palmas, 17 ; Sierra

Leone, 21; Bathurst, 25 ; Teneriffe, 31 ; and Ma-
deira, August 2.
The news by the steamer is rather important,
and it shows that the slave trade, so far from de-
creasing, is rapidly reviving, and that the illegal
traffic is carried on chiefly under the American flag.

At Porto Novo matters continued unsettled, and
:he West African Herald gives the following de-

scription of the battle of Porto Novo :
"It has already been recorded in this journal
four months ago, that the late Mr. Foote, her Ma•
jesty's consul at Lagos, went up to Porto Novo in
the gunboat Brune, for the purpose of negotiating

with the king of that place. The king having re-
fused to accede to the terms of the treaty, and
treating the consul's message with contempt, Mr.

Foote caused a shot to be fired over the town,
and the Brune left the place. Thr;" _Fcrto-Novians,

much elated at the departure of the I.wo.ne, congra-
tulated themselves, and declared that if the vessel

came again they would have her up on the beach,
and converther into a war-canoe for the king. On
the 26th of April last the consul went up with a

considerable force to recommence hostilities. Com-
modore Ednionstone commanded in person. The
force consisted of her Majesty's ships Bloodhound,

. _
Brune, and the Fideliter. The Bloodhound could

not get further up the lagoon than Beechy, so that

the Brune and Fideliter had it all to do themselves.

They were assisted by ten boats. The Porto-No-
vians mustered in large force on the banks of the
lagoon."
The following is from the native journal Ave
Irohin, published at Abbeokuta :
" The expedition consisted of the Brune and
Fideliter. Each of these had attached to it a num-
ber of boats—ten, it is stated. Four of these were
armed with 24 and 12-pounder howitzers, the re-
maining six were rocket boats. The expedition
reached the barrier above Badagry at four p.m. on
the afternoon of Thursday, and after two hours'

hard work pulling and hauling the sailors effected
a narrow passage, which was forced by the Fideli-
ter. She was immediately followed by the Brune,

and thus in the space of two hours and a half was

overcome what it bad taken the Porto Novians six

weeks and more to prepare. Some Iso canoes made
a miserable attempt to save their reputation by

firing a few shots, but a rocket or tTo from the
long 52 of the Brune sent them flying up the river
at their best pace. Next morning at seven a.m. the
flotilla had reached Porto Novo ; and as soon as

they came abreast of the town a heavy musketry
fire was opened upon them from both sides of the
river, which, however, was not replied to by the
English for some little time. When once the boats
opened fire with rockets, shell, and shot, it was
vigorous and well directed, so much so that within
an hour the town was in flames, which gradually
increased until they rose high above the lofty trees
that hitherto afforded the inhabitants grateful
shade. The Iso canoes again took to flight, and
remained through the day far out of gunshot, and
watched the game of war in tolerable security.

The boats of the squadron were in two divisions,
one under the commodore, the second under Capt.
Raby, of her Majesty's ship Alecto. Finding the
town burning furiously in their rear, the defenders
of this den of infamy ran for the beach, and advan-
tage was taken of this by Captain Raby, V.C., who
was in his gig with two mer, to land and spike a
gun—not, however, without being severely wounded
by the explosion of the gun during the act of spik-
ing. Seeing that the natives had not plucked up
courage to cut off this party, permission was given
to about 50 marines and blue jackets to land, in
order to set on fire some well-built houses that had
hitherto withstood the rockets and flames.
The landing was effected without molestation,
and a new quarter of the town was thereby set fire
to. It appears that the warriors had not up to this

he shot with his
revolver, and met a second, whom he was about also
to despatch, when his revolver missed fire, and had
the native rushed at him he must have cut him
down before he could draw his sword ; but, deeming
prudence the better part of valour, he took to his
heels and hid himself.

" The town now being in this quarter thoroughly
fired, at 11.30 the troops re-embarked, and returned
to their ships and dined. At 1 o'clock, being re-
freshed, and a fresh supply of ammunition served
out, the boats of Captain Raby's division formed in
line abreast, and advanced within 15 yards of the

was committed in their retreating ranks by the
grape and canister of the boats, as well as the well-
directed shot of the marines. The opportunity was
now seized upon by Captains Raby and Jones to
land and spike a second gun and carry off their
last flag. It was now seen how great had been the
havoc inflicted upon the enemy, by whose own ac-
count they admit their loss to be 1,000 killed and
as many wounded. After thi▪ s the firing became
very weak and desultory, so the English amused
themselves by firing shot and shell at the principal
houses left standing, About 4 p.m. the gunboats
and flotilla steamed away for Lagos and rejoined
the squadron outside the bar. The vessels compos-
ing it have since steamed off i▪ n various directions.
The loss on the side of the English was only one
man killed and five slightly wounded."
From Fernando Po we learn that her Majesty's
ship Prometheus, Commander Bedingfield, senior
officer of the South African squadron, had arrived
there from the south, having been relieved by the
Alecto, Captain Raby. The Prometheus reports
the south coast very unhealthy, and several
Europeans had died in the Congo at Fish Bay and
other places. The slave trade, notwithstanding the
most diligent and watchful exertions of the cruisers,
continued very brisk, in consequence of which all
legitimate commerce was dull, and it was even an-
ticipated that some of the factories on the coast
would have to close. Captain Bedingfield, who had
L been, while on the south station, in active co-opera-
tion with the American squadron, had taken two

vessel fitted up for slaves in the Congo river, and
had also seized a Spanish schooner named the
Jacinto.

Her
Majesty's ship Wrangler had chased and
captured a large American barque, supposed to be
the Ardennes, with 495 slaves on board.
The notorious slaver Storm King had again done
a clever stroke of business, and bamboozled both
the American and British cruisers. This vessel,
which is reported to have made in three years up-
wards of 2,000,000 dollars, went into Mango Grande
with a legal cargo on board, assuming a trading
cruise, but finding that there were slaves to be ob-
tained had thrown her cargo overboard, shipped a
large number of slaves; and got away clear.

The steam-vessel Miramon (formerly Greenock)
had shipped a cargo of slaves at Kasin.da in four
hours, using American, Spanish, and Portuguese
colours to suit the cruisers she happened to meet.
Everything is done under the American flag until
the slaves are actually on board, so that the two or
three English cruisers have very little chance to
take prizes or check the trade.
In regard to trade on the coast, the natives say
the present season is the best for oil ever known.
The barque Warrior, of Bristol, Capt. Johns, parted
her cables at Badagry and went on shore. Mate
and ono hand drowned; vessel a total wreck. At
the time of the accident there were eight vessels at
anchor close by (six of which were English), not
one of which lowered a boat or rendered the least
assistance.

The screw steamer Advance, in crossing the bar
at Lagos, was struck by a sea, which did consider-
able damage, broke one man's leg, wounded the
engineer, and several others.
Her Majesty's ships Prometheus, Ranger, and
Buffalo were at Fernando Po, as were also the
United States ships San Jacinto and Sumpter.
Her Majesty's ship Dover was at Bathurst.
Among the passengers brought by the Ethiope
from Madeira was Lord and Lady Massareene.
The Falcon war sloop was at Cape Palmas, and
the Torch at Sierra Leone.

The Ethiope brings on freight 2,500 ounces gold
dust and a full cargo, including 4,000 puncheons

palm oil.
