SELF-PRESERVATION.—A popular Essay on
Nervous and Physical Debility, resulting from injurious
habits contracted in youth, or excesses in maturity, which,
by prematurely exhausting the functions of Manhood, de-
stroy the happiness of Married Life or prevent the fulfil-
ment of engagements which constitute the most cherished
objects of existence.

The above work contains most useful and interesting
information on the physiological changes which occur
in the Reproductive System during the periods of youth,
puberty, and manhood ; and on the due attainment of that
degree of functional vigour upon which the hopes of posterity
depend. It also points out how all the attributes of Man-
hood can be preserved to an advancedperiod of life, how they
are_lost, and how they can be recovered. It is free from the
gross exaggerations, alarming descriptions, and dangerous
remedies so generally resorted to by persons, who, prac-
tising with false medical qualifications, inflict most serious
injuries, and render judicious treatment fre.prently abortive.
The Author is the only legally qualified practitioner
whose name stands on the Medical Redster (the only
.true test of medical qualification), who has been exclu-
sively engaged for a series of years in the treatment of the
variou 4 functional disorders of the nervous and reproductive
system, which, owing to the great discoveries of modern
science, are rendered subservient to a rational, simple,
and easy mode of treatment.

TURNER'S SECRECY.

Turner was tenacious in not disclosing any of his secrets
as to how he obtained breadth and depth in his water colour
painting. He generally painted with his door locked, if he
was at a stranger's house ' • and if any one approached him,
or idlers tried to overlook him, he covered his drawing. He
had no special secrets to hide ; for Turner's colours were of
little use to men who had not Turner's brain. But he Hid
been accustomed, as a boy, to paint up in his bed-room, and
he could not change his solitary habits. He did not like
imitators, and be did not wish absurd stories spread of his
mechanical artifices. Moreover, this habit of secrecy grati-
fied his love of mystery, and his natural fondness of con-
cealment. Yet once at Edinburgh he communicated all he
knew to a struggling artist, at a time when the secret of his
modes of sponging and his bistre washings was worth £lOO
to any one. _ _ _

The somewhat morbid love of seclusion and
mystery which distinguished Turner, were perhaps
due, with other mental and moral defects, to the
unhappy hereditary influence which had marred
the domestic happiness of his youth. Truly, if
shadows chequered the sunlight, we should not be
harsh censors, remembering the drawbacks that
weighed down the balance. His industry was
indefatigable, as is evidenced by the seventeen
boxes in the lower room of the National Gallery,
in which Mr. Ruskin found more than 19,000
pieces of paper drawn upon by Turner in various
ways. Of his characteristics, as a painter, Mr.
Thornbury speaks as follows :

LITBRATURE.

He Life of J. M. IV. Turner, R.A. By Walter I
Thornhury. 2 vols. Hurst and Blackett.
The life of a great man, by a writer of undeniable
ability, can scarcely fail to attract attention. The
controversy respecting Turner's rank as a painter
has been sharp in the artistic world. Some, like
our eminent art critic, ranking him by the side of
the few great creative minds that humanity has pro-
duced throughout long ages ; others condemning
his style, censuring his mysticism, and unable to
appreciate his genius. But little doubt now remains
in any unprejudiced mind that Turner's name and
fame will live in the very highest rank ofart,when the
mistakes of prejudice are forgotten, and the malig-
nity of envious mediocrity is remembered only with
contempt. Like many another great man, Turner
was soured by net meeting, in the earlier part of
his career, that acknowledgment of his powers which
he felt was his due. He lived to see a marvellous
change, to decline £2,500 for a painting for which
he had been refused £lOO ; to be offered, it is said,
by a wealthy merchant, £lOO,OOO for his stock of
paintings, drawings, and engravings, and to return
the quiet answer that he had refused a similar pro-
posal before. A painting that one of his patrons paid
£lOO forfeit rather than take, was afterwards
valued at £l,OOO. An early Venetian picture, sold to
Chantrey fur £250, was, after his death, resold,
much damaged, for £1,500. But the change came
too late to soften the soured temper, or lighten the
melancholy of an embittered and unhappy man. If
the splendid success which attended his later career,
and the reputation he has left behind him may
serve as wholesome stimulants to desponding genius,
the record of his life may teach another lesson—the
emptiness of fame and the hollowness of riches to fill
the void of human affection or to supply the absence
of a supporting faith. The life of this great artist,
with its successes and failures, its aspirations and
disappointments remained to be written. Brief
and fragmentary memoirs, sometimes inaccurate,
sometimes malignant, were all that we possessed of
England's landscape painter. Mr. Thornhury, well
fitted for the task, both by literary talent and
artistic taste, has stepped forward, and we have the
result in these able volumes, to which the artist
and the connoisseur will long turn with interest to
trace the steps by which the barber's son mounted
the steps to fortune. When Mr. Thornbury first
contemplated writing the life of Turner, he resolved,
he tells us, to ascertain, in the first place, whether
Mr. Ruskin had himself a similar purpose. Mr.
Ruskin disclaimed any such intention, but volun-
teered what help he could give. The following
quaint note expresses the art critic's opinion of his
idol :

.hould be in the hands of young and old."—" Sunday Times,"
:.8d 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 aplain
and sympathising manner on the various disqualifications
and impediments arising from hervous excitement and de-
bility ; and to invalids suffering from youthful errors and
excesses it will be found valuable and useful."—Record.

AN EFFECTUAL REMEDY.-LAMBERT'S
ASTHMATIC BALSAM, without confining the
bowels or affecting the head, truly efficacious and pleasant,
is admitted to be the best medicine for immediately relieving
coughs, colds, confirmed cases of asthma, and consumption.
It frequently cures persons whom the faculty pronounce in-
curabie, admirably allays the tickling which provokes frequent
coughing. In approaching consumption its effects are truly
beneficial. Persons deprived of sleep, or even lying down for
fear of suffocation, may depend on relief in a few minutes
after taking it. Prepared only and sold by W. Lambert,

Translated from the Gelman of Dr. PICKFORD.

" Dr. rickford is known to Efiglish readers by his frequent
practical contributions to German medical literature. This
is the first time, he informs us, that he has addressed himself
to the non-medical reader. We trust that this may not be the
last, if he shall detect any other equally flagrant evil which it
may be in his power to correct. London Medical Gazette.
" The editor has conferred a great boon on the sufferers
from this distressing malady by translating this little book,
and by laying bare the scandalous practices of unqualified
adventurers, who profess to cure a disease of which they
know nothing, with no other object than to fill their own
purses. The difference between true Spermatorrhcea and the
various forms of disease which resemble it are accurately de-
scribed, and thus a safe gguuide• is offered for the treatment of
the malady."—Medical Circular.
" We have dilated so long upon the contents of the preli-
minary chapter, that we have scarcely left ourselves space for
any notice of the subject specially treated of by Dr. Pickford;
but the moderate price at which the 'brochure' is sold, places
it within the reach of every one interested in the matter."—

Translated from the German of •Dr. PICKFORD.

" Dr. l'ickford is known to English readers by his frequent
practical contributions to German medical literature. This
is the first time, he informs us, that he has addressed himself
to the non-medicalreader. We trust that this may not be the
last, if he shall detect any other equally flagrant evil which it
may be in his power to correct."—London Medical Gazette.
"The editor has conferred a great boon on the sufferers
from this distressing malady by translating this little book,
and by laying bare the scandalous practices of unqualified
adventurers, who profess to cure a disease of which they
know nothing, with no other object than to fill their own
purses. The difference between true Spermatorrhcea and the
various forms of disease which resemble it are accurately de-
scribed, and thus a safe guide is offered for the treatment of
the malady."—Medical Circular.
" We have dilated so long upon the contents of the preli-
minary chapter, that we have scarcely left ourselves space for
any notice of the subject specially treated of by Dr. Pickford;
but the moderate price at which the 'brochure' is sold, places
it within the reach of every one interested in the matter."--

LOSS OF THE AORTH BRITON.

LONDONDERRY, Nov. 22.

The Canadian screw steamer Anglo• Saxon, from
Quebec on the 9th inst., has arrived here. She re-
ports that the North Briton, which left Quebec on
the kd, and was due at Londonderry on the 12th
inst., was wrecked on the sth, on Paroquet Island,
one of the Minigen. group. All her crew and pas-
sengers are on board the Anglo-saxon, except 17 of
the former and two or three of the latter, who got
adrift in two boats. However, there is reason to
believe that these were afterwards picked up by a
schooner which was seen by the Anglo-Saxon off
Metis. The captain and the 2d, 3d, and 4th officers
of the North Briton remained behind.

LIVERPOOL, FRIDAY.

A despatch was received in Liverpool yesterday
afternoon, from Londonderry, to the effect that the
North Briton, which left Quebec for this port on
the morning of the 2d, was lost at 8 a.m. on the
sth, at Minigan Island, on the coast of Labrador.
At the time of the disaster a thick fog prevailed.
Eighteen of the crew and fifteen of the passengers
took to the boats, the remainder of the crew and
passsengers having been landed. It is supposed
that the passengers and crews of the two boats will
have been picked up by some vessel passing down
the Straits of Belle Isle.

STORM SIGNALS AND THE WEATHER.—SHIELDS,
Friday Afternoon.—Ye sterday morning, in consequence of
a telegram received from Admiral Fitzroy, a cone was
hoisted, point upwards, at the signal station in our harbour,
indicating that a gale was probable from the southward, and
shortly after it was hoi eted a strong breeze commenced to
blow from the south-we st, which by noon had stiffened into
a gale, and during the afternoon and evening the weather
was very squally on our coast, with a good deal of rain.
Yesterday morning a la rge fleet of light vessels from the
south were off our north .- east ports, and, by the aid of the
immense steaintug fore e at command, they were brought
into harbour. Several :laden vessels also returned to port.
A considerable fleet or light vessels have arrived in the
Tyne, and their masters .state that they have had very rough
and stormy passages clovi n. Tuesday night, specially men-
tioned by Mr. Saxby, :R.N., as likely to be a period Of
atmospheric disturbance, was very wild and stormy in the
North Sea. To-day the M -eather is beautifully fine and clear
with the wind more frog i the west.

THE VIGOUR OF YOUTH RESTORED IN
FOUR WEEKS by Dr. RICORD'S ESSENCE OF
LIFE.

This wonderful agent will restore manhood to the most
shattered constitution, whether arising from self-pollution,
excesses, nocturnal emissions, the effects of climate, or natu-
ral causes. The time required to cure the most inveterate
case is four weeks ; and, if used according to the printed in-
structions (which are very simple), failure is impossible.
This life-restoring remedy should be taken by all about to
marry, as its effects arc permanent. It is acknowledged by
the medical press to be the greatest discovery ever made.
Success in every case is as certain as that water quenches
thirst.

Dr. Ricord's Essence of Life is sold in cases, with full in-
structions for use, at its., or four quantities in one for 335.,
and will be sent to any part of the world, carefully packed,
on receipt of remittance o_r_post-office order payable to Prow

TIIHNER S CARTHAGB.

A merchant, having one day purchased and paid
£lO,OOO for pictures t Turner, said suddenly, just as he
was leaving,—" Now, Mr. Turner, there are three more pic-
tures in your gallery; I'll give you £5,000 for the three, if
you will allow me to pick." " Well," said Turner, " tell me
which they are." The merchant began with the " Rise of
Carthage." Turner stopped him. " N o," he said, "it's a
noble offer, but I have willed it." The purchaser then
pressed him to let him have two for £5,000. 'turner seemed
moved at his liberality, but merely repeated,—" 1 have
willed it." The picture was originally painted for £lOO for
a gentleman, who declined to take it when the critics and
the press began to attack it. " This is a great triumph,"
Turner repeated. Turner's pride had been deeply wounfaed
by this rejection. The noble revenge he took was to refuse
£2,500 fur it, and leave it to the nation.

The reserve of his nature was remarkable, and any
efforts to penetrate his studio were generally
churlishly repelled, though apparently without any
motive but a wish for solitude and abstraction.

TIE ARMY.

The members of the Army Hospital COmmission
arrived at Portsmouth yesterday moraing, and im-
mediately entered upon their duties in the garrison.
The following circular, making some important
alterations in the rates of good conduct pay awarded
to soldiers, has been issued froin the War-office, by
direction of Lord Herbert :--

" The Secretary of State for War having decided
on the substitution of the follpyting paragraphs for
clause 5, page 4, of the-good cencluet regulations of
Sept. 10, 1860, circular 629, the same is notified for
the information and guidance of all officers charged
with the administration of those regulations.
" 5. As a further reward of continuous good
conduct, soldiers of 16 and less than 18 years' ser-
vice, and whose names have not been entered in
the regimental defaulters' book for 14 years pre-
ceding their claim, may receive the rate of good
conduct pay granted after 18 years' service, on the
completion of the said 14 years' continuous good
eonduct, and shall be entitled to receive the rate
attached to 23 and 28 years two years earlier—that
is, 21 and 26 years respectively.
" In like manner, soldiers of 21 and less than 23
years' service, and whose names have not been en-
tered in the regimental defaulters' book for 14 years
preceding their claim, may receive the rate of good
conduct pay granted after 23 years' service, on
completion of the said 14 years' continuous good
conduct, and shall be entitled to receive the rate
attached to 28 years two years earlier—that is,
after 26 years' service.
" Soldiers of 26, and less than 28 years' service,
whose names have not been entered in the regimen-
tal defaulters' book for 14 years preceding their
claim, may receive their rate of good conduct pay
granted after 21 years' service, on completion of
the said 14 years' continuous good conduct.
" Lord Herbert has also decided that the word
offence' shall be substituted for the word ' entry
in the 14th line of clause 10, page 5, of the good
conduct regulations."
