'I he essential object of this treatise is to pint out the fearful con-
sequences 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 dis •ase known to modern pathologists. Its perusal' is•

It is absolutely necessary that all men should know that there are

ceed the heyday of inconsiderate self-induigence, how those penalties
may be mitigated, how the sting of their bitternessmay be removed,
and how the evil and its consequences may be avoided, and, above all,
that there is scarcely any degree of physical infirmity or functional
derangement to which the timely aid of science cannot arply a cure.

In answer to a question from Colonel SYKES.
Mr. LOWE said there wasno alteration contemplated

Cliffords apparatus.
THE SCOTCH HERRING FISHERY.

In answer to a question from Colonel SYKES,
Mr. WILSON said that as the Commissioners were
undecided what " brand" should be used for the herring
fisheries in Scotland, and as regarded the harbour of
Wick and the harbours in that part of Scotland, he
intended eborily to ask for a committee to consider
questions arising out of the harbours for mercantile and
general purposes.

HONG KONG.
Mr, DUNLOP asked the Secretary of State for the

Colonies, with reference to the fact, appearing from th e
Parliamentary paper No. 147, of last session, that, whils
the emi:ration officer at Hong Kong had refused to
grant a certificate for more than 81 Chinese coolies being
taken to sea by the John Calvin, bound for Havana,
that vessel carried away 297 such passengers, of whom
110 perished on the voyage, by suicide and disease,
and 23 more in quarantine and hospital at Havana :
whether the conduct of the master, in taking passengers
exceeding so greatly in number that for which the certi-
ficate was granted, was a contravention of the Chinese
Passengers' Act of 1355, and, if so, whether instructions
bad been given for enforcing the penalties under the
bond granted at Hong Kong in terms of that act ; or,
if it be not, whether her Majesty's Government would
propose an amendment of the act to remedy a defect
which gave occasion to kidnapping and its consequences :
and, whether any communication had been made to his
department of an explanation having been demanded or
received from the British Consul General in Cubs of the
statement, so far as regards the John Calvin, contained
in his report on the cases of that vessel and the Duke of
Portland, that he had minutely inquired into them, and
that there was no blame whatever attached to the mas-
ters of that vessel I

Mr. LABOUCHERE said that the officers at Hong
Kong only licensed for 80 coolies, and that the others
were carried against that license. The authorities were
considering whether the law was sufficient to prevent
such conduct, and if so, measures would be asoordingly
taken, and if it was found the law was defective he
should take steps to amend it. With regard to the
conduct of the Consul at Havannab, no blame was
justly imputed to him.

SPAIN.

The Madrid papers of the 9th contain no news
of interest. The Congress was proceeding with
the examination of the returns of the members.
The troops destined for Cuba, and eventually for
Mexico had embarked at Cadiz on board the vessels
prepared for them, and the generals who command
the expedition, Mendinueta, Garrido, and San-
tiago, had gone on board the Francisco de Asis.
The actual sailing of the expedition bad, however,
not taken place. The military authorities of Back-
joz were taking precautionary measures for the
preservation of order, and had caused the occu-
piers of certain houses to be placei under strict
surveillance.

The Post Ampt Gazette of Berlin of the 11th
says :;--" The French Government is employing
all its efforts at Copenhagen to lead to a solu-
tion of the duchies question in a sense favourable
to the wishes of Germany. Russia has pronounced
herse!f in a similar manner in a despatch recently
addressed to the Danish government. It is con-
sidered certain in Copenhagen that the Danish go-
vernment will, in form at least, give way to the
German powers on the question'of a general consti-
tution for the States of Holstein."

Accounts from Wurtemburg state that a royal
decree of the 6th grants to lieutenants, sub-lieuten-
ante, and non-commissioned officers who are mar-
ried, an addition to their pay on account of the
dearness of provisions.

Letters from Gottingen state that the students
of that university tried on the night of the 4th to
demolish the house of a functionary named Zacha-
rias, who had forbidden the master of an establish-
ment frequented by students to permit dancing on
his premises.

LONDON, THURSDAY, MAY 14; 1857.

It really apppears to be entirely forgotten,
across the water, Who this Grand Duke CON-
STANTINE actually is ! Let us at least not be
squally oblivious. Let it not be forgotten, at
any rate, on this side of the Channel, that the
man now making the tour of Western Europe, in
the midst of so much indecorous adulation, is the
very man to whom the Allies are chiefly indebted
for the recent loss of about 100,000 lives, and
about 100,000,0001. sterling. To him, prin-
cipally, among all men now living, England and
France owe the main part of the horrors of the
ate sanguinary conflict in Crim-Tart try. To his
warlike genius, to his lawless ambition, to his lug
of empire, and, above all things, t) his resolute
and indomitable determination, sooner or later, to
bring within the sweep of the Russian sceptre
the fair and beautiful city of Constantinople !
These are not truths discovered to-day or yestei -
day. They are facts that have long been note-
riotts. But at the same time they are facts appa-
rently at the present moment lost altogether to
the general remembrance. Neither should they
have been dragged at this instant into the
noonday light of the popular recollection—but that
the very personage whose character they serve to
illustrate is now being Pled wherever he appears
in his wanderings through Western Europe, as
though he were really and truly one of the most
beneficent benefactors of its population !
Ir -
stead of being--as he is one of the most deadly
and relentless enemies of that particular section
of the Great Human Family ! Had the Arch-
duke CONSTANTINE been received within the
boundaries of the dominions of the Allies with
any decent show of equanimity, with any evi
dance, however small, of a sense as to Who he was
on the part of those who welcomed him —we
might have been disposed in Courtesy, even he
it said in Pity, to refrain from pointing
Index-finger at his Ante'3edents. Silence any
longer, however, upon this subject would, we
conceive, be nothing less than culpable, under
existing circumstances. The Arch-foe of the
Allies being welcomed as only the Truest Friend
ought in reason to be welcomed, we can-
not in the midst of this hubbub of Fiat-

tery, remain indifferent or dumb speota-
tors. To hold our peace were tl consent t
a disgraceful complicity. Moro especially now,
at the present moment, when the Arch-Doke

participated in the general amnestygranted in the spring
of last year by her Alajesty,to all political prisoners I

THE MURRAIN.

Lord NAAS asked the Vice President of the Board
of Trade, whether her Majesty's Government had re-
ceived any communications relative to the murrain
said to be raging among the cattle on the Continent ;
and, whether he would lay such communications on
the table of the house ?

Mr. LOWE said that no communication had been
reeeived that could be laid on the table of the house.
The communication that had been received had been
handed to Dr. Greenhow for a report, and when ready
it would be laid on the table of the house. If that did
not satisfy the noble lord he would then lay the original
documents on the table of the hours.

THE SHIP " LORD RAGLAN."

Mr. LAURIE asked the First Lord of the Admi-
ralty whether it was decided that 1,000 troops, with
officers and women, were about to leave Kingston for
the Mauritius on board the ship Lord Raglan ; and
whether a vessel of such tonnage was capable of con-
taining so large a number witli any comfort or safety ?
. .

Sir C. WOOD said that the Lord Raglan was only to
take 727 men, with officers and women, and 70 boys.
She as quite capable of taking that number.
THE TRANSIT.

In reply to a question from Admiral WALCOTT,
Sir C. WOOD took the opportunity of stating that in.
telligei ce bad been received from the Transit, dated
Cape de Verd Islands, and that everything was going
on satisfactory. (Hear, bear.)
EDUCATION.

In answer to a question from Mr. SLANEY,
Sir J. PAKINGTON said he did not contemplate
bringing in a bill this session on the question of educa-
tion, but he would introduce the subject for the conside-
ration of the house by motion.
MARRIED WOMEN.

Sir E. PERRY moved for leave to bring in a
bill to amend the law of property as it affected mar-
ried women and their separate earnings. The
object of the bill was to secure to married
women who separate from their husbands a right to
their earnings after such separation. He also proposed
several other matters connected with the present
law relative to married women, The upper classes
were able to pi otect themselves, and what be
asked for was the same protection for the middle and
workin,, classes as the rich already enjoyed by settle-
ments,'&c.
Mr. H. DRUMMOND seconded the motion. He
thought, however, they should first alter the law of
divorce a mensa et thoro.

Tne ATTORNEY-GENERAL said it was not a m•
tion like ordinary motions of law reform, but it was on,
that affected our social relations to a very great extent,
and he entered at some length into his objec-
tions to many parts of the measure. He doubted
much if the majority of the women of England
would like to be placed in the strong-minded position of
having to answer for all they did and said, as this bill
proposed.
Sir J. PAKINOTON stated his views on some of the
difficulties attending this question, at the same time ex-
pressing his opinion that an alteration was required in
the present law. It was a delicate subject to deal with,
and would require much caution.

Mr. B. HOPE addressed the house.

people were found to succumb before there was any
real necessity. It was not absolutely impossible to
enter Persia from Mohammerab. There were
several routes by which it might be done, though
ho admitted that they were extremely difficult
routes. If the war had been protracted General
Outram would have been obliged to go higher up
the river, where the climate was comparatively
good ; and, as the troops would have to remain in
Persia during the summer, for the treaty of peace
could not be ratified before June, and the evacua-
tion of the country could not be before September,
the worst month in the whole year, he hoped Gen.
Outram would take his troops higher up on the
Karoon,- the advantage being that, although he
would have a hot climate, the air was pure and
clear, and by making huts and surrounding them
by eamelthorn the temperature would be reduced
to a bearable point. With regard to food, at the
present time the whole country was a mass of

military point of view, but also commercially : and
although no one entertained the idea of our ob-
taining a permanent occupation of the country,
still, the Persian Government being made aware of
its commercial importance, that circumstance would
act as an inducement, in order to get us out of the
country as quickly as possible, for them to comply
with our terms. (Cheers.)
The CHAIRMAN, iu moving a vote of thanks to
Sir H. Rawlinson, congratulated the seciety that it
possessed a member Who v'fas so competent to illus-
trate the subject on which he addressed them by
his own- personal experience.
Mr, CRAWFURD asked Sir H. Rawlinson how he
could bring himself to believe that Alexander could
have founded a colony in such an unhealthy place
as Mohammerali, where the thermometer was at
130 degrees ?
Sir H. RAWLINSON replied that it was an his-
torical fact ; and not only did Alexander found a
colony there, but he named it Pellman, after his
native place Pella, in Macedonia.

SPAIN.

The Madrid papers of the 9th contain no news
of interest. The Congress was proceeding with
the examination of the returns of the members.
The troops destined for Cuba, and eveutually for
Mexico had embarked at Cadiz on board the vesels
prepared for them, and the genPrais who command
the expedition, Mendinueta, Garrido, and San-
tiago, had gone on board the Francisco de Asisi
The actual sailing of the expedition had, however,
not taken place. The military authorities of Bada-
joz were taking precautionary measures for the
preservation of order, and had caused the occu-
piers of certain houses to be placed under strict
surveillance.

The Post Ampt Gazette of Berlin of the 11th
says :—" The French Government is emplaying
all its efforts at Copenhagen to lead to a solu-
tion of the duchies question in a sense favourable
to the wishes of Germany. Russia has pronounced
herself in a similar manner in a despatch recently,
addressed to the Danish government. It is con-
sidered certAin in Copenhagen that the Danish go-
vernment will, in form at least, give way to the
German powers on the question of a general consti-
tution for the States of Holstein."

Accounts from Wurtemburg state that a royal
decree of the 6th grants to lieutenants, sub-lieuten-
ant 4, and non-commissioned officers who are mar-
ried, an addition to their pay on account of the
dearness of provisions.

Letters from Gottingen state that the students
of that university tried on the night of the 4th to
demolish the house of a functionary named Zacha-
rixe, who had forbidden the master of an establish-
ment frequented by students to permit dancing on
his premises.

ANOTHER ACCOUNT.

During the performances last night, between the hours
of 10 and 11 o'clock, the numerous persons sitting in
the Princess's Theatre, Oxford-street, as well as many
of the surrounding neighbours, were painfully excited
owing to a report being raised that the theatre was on
fire. The alarm ran round the house with the rapidity
of electricity, which was greatly increased by the audi-
ence seeing the front velvet and also the gauze curtains
take fire ; and what was still worse, some one in the pit
cried out to those in the upper part of the house to escape
for their lives. It is hardly necessary to state that such
a scene and such an announcement caused a general
panic in the house, and men, with their wives and chil-
dren, commenced to rush out of the different depart-
ments of the theatre (the worst thing they could do),
while Bryanstone, the fireman employed on the esta-
blishment, ascended the stage and cut down the curtains.
During the period the parties were employed in putting
the fire out Mrs. Charles Kean came in front of the
house, and, with the greatest sang froid imaginable,
allayed the fears of the remaining portion of the audience
by making known that the fire was quite extinguished,
and that they were perfectly secure from farther dan-
ger. Several parties, however, who rushed out of the
theatre were so terribly frightened that they fainted and
were obliged to be carried out of the passages, and the
alarm in the immediate vicinity was so great that many
persons ran off to call the engines. That of the London
Brigade, under Mr. Gerrard, quickly attended, from
Wells-street, and was followed by Mr. Connorton, with
the West of England engine ; but fortunately, owing to
the coolness displayed by Mr. C. Kean, and the exer-
tions of the men employed in the house, the services of
the firemen were not required, and we are happy to say
that the mischief done will not interfere with the per-
formances to-night. Mr. Maddox, the proprietor of the
theatre, was insured in the Royal and Scottish Union
fire-offices, and it is understood that Mr. Kean, the
lessee, was also insured.
