PRESERVATION.—A popular Essay on )1/4„./ Nervous and Physical Debility, resulting from injurious habits contracted in youth, or excesses in maturity, which, by prematurely exhausting the functions of Manhood, destroy the happiness of Married Life or prevent the fulfilment of engagements which constitute the most cherished objects of existence.

At home for consultation daily from 10 till 2, and from 6 till Ft either pergonallY or by letter.-37, Bedford-square,  By the arrival of the Calcutta mail we have received our private correspondence and files of papers from Calcutta to the 23d December, and from Hongkong to the 15th of December. There is not much of importance in the news from Calcutta. We take the following from the Bengal Hurkuru of Dec. 24 : "The Bengal Chamber of Commerce bas recorded a minute on the death of Lieutenant-Colonel Baird Smith, in which they express their sincere regret for his loss, as well as admiration for the eminent talents with which the deceased officer was endowedMr. Laing, our financial minister, is now busily engaged in carrying out the organisation of the currency scheme, which comes into operation in February or March next. Although slightly indisposed on bis return to Calcutta he is now, we are glad to say, perfectly restored to health. All look upon him as the only man able to complete these great financial reforms which were inaugurated ender the auspices of the much lamented Mr. Wilson, and which he has so successfully done up to the present moment. Mr. Laing, however, quits India for ever in May next, and some anxiety is felt by the public at the long interval likely to occur before a competent person will be appointed from home to succeed him, and the irretrievable confusion in which .our financial affairs may in the meantime be reduced_onee rinore—liy4fie temporary a—ppeointmest7 of a- civilian financier. The chief commissionership of the amalgamated Central Provinces has been conferred upon Colonel Elliott, instead of Mr. R, Temple, as was at one time expected. Major Spence is to be Commissioner of Nagpore, and Major Snow has a chance of obtaining another provincial commissionership. Mr. Perkins is likely to be secretary to the Chief Commissioner, and Major Shakespear, it is reported, will be appointed Deputy-Commissioner of Chiridwarra. The British Indian Association have addressed a letter to the Bengal Government with regard to the prevalence of a dangerous epidemic in some of the populous villages in the districts of Hooghly and in Baraset, praying the Lieut.-Governor to adopt speedier measures of relief for the mitigation of the disease. The villages most affected by it are Tribany, Halishowar,Kutchraparah, and Godulparra, in Hooghly, on the one side, and the villages in and about Bareset on the other. The mortality is described as fearful. Whole families have been swept away by the disease. In one village alone 400 individuals have died in the course of two months. The epidemic is of a typhoid kind, and as the poor inhabitants aro without any medicine or proper medical aid, they easily fall victims to the same. The death of Lieutenant Singer, who was murdered at Nowgong not long ago, has been avenged. Twenty of the rioters have been shot, and 200 have been made prisoners."
