The Work which is now presented to the public is the result of very extended experience in a class of diseases and affections , which for some unaccountable reason have been either altogether overlooked , 0 T treated with apatby , and almost indifference , by the ordinary practitioner . To enter into the details
of these affections , to point oct their causes , and to mark the terrific consequences , social , moral , and physical , which are sure to follow from indulgence , in certain habits , would be entirely out of place in an advertisement . We have no hesitation , howevtr , in saying that there is no member of society , by whom the book will not be found interesting , whether we consider such person to hold the relation of a PARENT ^ PRECEPTOR , or aCLERGYMAN . The PARENT , who beholds bis beloved child pining away , and fast approaching to a premature grave , in consequence of Eome disease , which for want of a careful investigation of its real cause , has been set down to the score of consumption , will , on perusing this work , be astonished to find that in nine-tenths of the cases of young persons of both sexes , who perish of what is called pulmonary
consumption , heart disease , tabes , < fec , the sole and exclusive origin has been the indulgence in certain destructive habits , practised by youth much more frequently than is at all suspected . The PRECEPTOR , also , who holds temporarily , at least the relation and responsibility of a parent , will , by perusing this work , be directed , and very much assisted in investigating and detecting the too often concealed practices so often introduced into BcboolSj whereby the health and altimately the lives of his pupilB are sure to be compromised , unless the evU be checked in proper time . He will here find a clue to guide him through the intricate mazes of this moral labyrinth , and a standard whereby to judge , when delicacy of health shonld appear to attack any of his young charges , what the real cause of such attack may be , and thus he will be enabled to check the evil in its incipient state .
The CLERGYMAN , m whose sacred character is at once concentrated the twofold relation of parent and instructor , will here be directed as to the nature of those habits to which yoath is addicted ; he will also be enabled to point out the disastrous consequenoes . which-are sure to follow from" them / if nol relinquished .

The imperative necessity that ' exists for the complete eradication of these deplorable disorders is evident from the fact , that this deadly contagion may lay imbedded in the constitution for yean , and it is of the utmost importance to those who are about to form matrimonial engagements to cleanse the syBtem previously of all its gross impurities , in order to prevent those sad appearances throughout entire families , which are frequently the consequence of a protracted and Incomplete eradication .
In those deplorable cases of nervous and sexual debility , arising from early and indiscriminate excesses , where melancholy , distaste , incapacity for all pleasures , both mental and physical , and all the enervating imbecilities of old age are its attendants the utmost endeavours should be made to avoid the despair and misery whioh accompany these dreadful debilities , when left to the powers of nature alone to restore , and which frequently hurrieB Ub victim to the grave in the very flower of his yonth . To all who are thus afflicted , Mr .

Newcastle-upon-Tyne , June 20 , 1839 . Sir , —It has been my intention , for a length of time , to address you on a subject closely connected with your celebrity ; but I must confess that a feeling of delicacy has hitherto withheld me . My cure however , has been so complete , that . it would be an act of gross injustice to your character and skill , were I longer to withhold a case so remarkable as any on record . Born in a . polished circle'of society , I was early sent to a most respectable public seminary , whore , for some years , all * went on with prosperity and happiness . ¦ .. . . --
Unfortunately , however , a habit wssjsent abroad among ub , which I was , with many otters , unable to resist . Years rolled away , and left me an altered man ! Infirmities gathered around me , and at the age of twenty years X was actually dying of decaya gradual but certain decay . 1 wondered at the cause of all this premature debility , nor did the truth ever flash across my mind , until I Baw an address of yours , which made me fully sensible of my miserable situation . The debility increased every renewed day , with the cause of misery , self-entailed , gnawing at my heart in my waking moments ; in
seeking rest , 1 only sought for a change of torments —the many hourB of darkness seemed awful ; those of sleep filled me with racking horrors indescribable . 1 longed for day—with day 1 was wearied—and I beheld the approach of night with abhorrence . Under these circumstances of unqualified affliction , 1 journeyed upwards of ninety miles to have a con-Bultation with yon . I need not say how soon you were awar « of my appalling eituatton , the anxiety you manifested in accomplishing my relief , or ot the confidence with which you spoke of my recovery .
You directed me a packet of your invaluable medicines , and by perseverance in following your directions , and with the blessing of Providence , a wonderful cure has been completely effected , and 1 am now , in every sense of the word , become a new man ! I transmit this account for the benefit of others who may , unfortunately , be placed in a situation of similar wretchedness . You may omit my residence , but if asked for , yoo ? are at liberty to give it . —Remaining , Sir , with every sentiment of regard , yours truly , Charles Newtoh .
To Mr . La'Mert , 21 , Falkner-street , Manchester . Mr . La'Mert is to be consulted every day , at his residence , from nine in the morning till ten at night , and on Sundays from nine till two ; and patients in the remotest parts of the conntry may be treated successfully on transmitting their report , which will be immediately answered ; their letters mnst minutely describe the case , and contain a remittance for advice and medicine , which can be forwarded to any -part of the world , however distant . No difficulty can occur , » s the medicines will be securely packed , and care fully protected from observation . 21 , FaulKner-8 treet , Manchester .

¦^ V PUNISHMENT Of 1 dEaS& . « H ? . C ° n » ttoiiMa Wednesday evening , Mr . F . Kelly havinit moved the third reading of the Punishment of Death Bill , ; Lord J . RUSSELL declared his opinion , that as Parliament had very recently dealt with thisi subject , it was not expedient to legislate uponit again sosoon . He particularly objected to the abolition of punishment of death for assaults committed with intent to murder . The Legislature had as yet but little experience of the working of the law of 1837 in these cases , and in the meantime executions had W . nm «
rare . Nor could he assent to the abolition of capital punishment for arson in the dockyards . Neuher was he prepared to remit that punishment in dear and aggravated oasea of rape ; at least , he thought that Parliament had not yet bestowed sufficient consideration on this point to justify the now proposed enactment respecting it . It was the fashion to speak rather tenderly of great « rimes ; but he hoped that the House would feel it their duty to provide for the defenceless , and preserve to them the protection of the law . He moved as an amendment , that the Bill should be read a second time that day three months .
Sir CHARLES BURRELL did not think the time was yet come for them to make any further alterations in the law . When they referred to the wisdom of our ancestors , he came to the opinion that there was not any justification for going farther than they had already done ; and as regarded the protection of females , ne hoped that the day would not arrive when the House would withdraw that protection to which they were entitled , and which they had hitherto experienced .
Dr . LUSHINGTON agreed in the opinion expressed by the Noble Lord , that it was the duty of the House to protect the public against crime , and and he would etill further agree with him and arrive at his conclusion , if ho had shown by a reference to past proceedings that the course formerly pursued when the gallows teemed with victims ( cheers ) had tended to give that protection . He agreed , therefore , with the Noble Lord in the principle which he had laid down ; but he differed from him wholly and entirely as to the method which should , be used to effect that object . He was not one who felt any false sentimentality for criminals ; but hejelt as all did , most anxious to afford greater protection to oroDertv
and persons . On the very crime to whioh tke Noble Lord had specially alluded , he found by the digest or table of criminal returns , that if the Government abstained frominfltotingcapitalpuni 8 hment , orparties abstained from prosecuting for the capital offence , in short , that if the punishment to be inflicted did not include the loss of life , the convictions were immeasurably moro certain . ( Cheers . ) He was not going to give any dissertation upon general principles : it nad been infinitely better done , and in far more eloquent language than he could employ ; but let the House listen to the returns as to that very crime of rape—let them see the effect of mitigated punishment , and then let them judge between his Noble Friend aud himself , as to whioh afforded the most important protection to females . Comparing
the four years ending with 1834 with the subsequent years , they would find that for those four years the proportion of convictions to prosecutions for rape was only eighteen percent . ; during the next four years ending 1838 , the proportion was only twelve percent . ; but during the last year , when the punishment of death was not taken away bylaw , but when tk facto it was not executed—and here he might remark that abstaining from inflicting the extreme punishment frequently had a similar effect to a formal mitigation of the law—he found that twentythree per cent , was the number of convictions compared with the indiotments , and not a single life had been forfeited on the scaffold . What . then , was the
state of things when the punishment of death was inflicted t There were sixteen or seventeen per cent , for the convictions ; they lost six or seven per cent . It was probable that in all the offences at the different periods , the actual amount of guilt was precisely the same . Wnat was the proportion of convictions with respect to the indictments for the minor offence ! In the first four years it was sixty-one per cent . ; in the next four yeare , sixty per cent . ; and in the last year they were sixty per cent . And he told the Noble Lord that it was not the severity of punishment , but the certainty of punishment that prevents crime . ( Cheers . ) They had actually a case before them in which they had sixconvictions
ty out of one hundred prosecutions when the parties were proceeded against for the minor offence , and only seventeen out of one hundred when the conviction would have risked capital punishment . He claimed for himself the title of the protector of females , because it was not only in the oases of rape , or of this or that offence , that the abolition of the capital punishment lessened the acquittals , but in all ; for when the criminal tables were properly undertsood and digested , they womd prove this , and they would vindicate the success of what had been already done by the House in those cases . He hoped and trusted that in a question of life or death , the House would mark the effect of former ameliorations for other grave offences in diminishing crime .

And now . taking the last year , 1839 , when the number of capital offences had been much diminished , the committals , which bad amounted to 1342 fell to 889 , * nd not a single lift , had . been forfeited on the scaffold . He was not the advocate of men who committed atrocious offences ; but he said that however deep their guilt might be , they ought not to sacrifice the life of the greatest culprit that ever lived unlesB for the benefit of the public . ( Cheers . ) He heard many observations made upon the moral guilt of the country , but what they oujrht to keeD
before the attention of the public was , that they ought not to sacrifice human life unless upon an imperative necessity . And was not this & blessed and happy result 1 One-third of the offences had gone , and whilBt twenty-four lives were formerly taken , there waB not one that had been now sacrificed . Was not this protection ? Was not that carrying out their principles with success ! Aud now , he would ask the Noble Lord , what made him doubt 1 If he showed that all the predictions which had been made by his late lamented friend , Sir James Mackintosh , had been verified to his heart ' s content , if it were not possible to find a single exception to the good working of this great principle , he would ask
ms Noble r riend what made him doubt and hesitate I In cases of concealing the birth of children , he found that , from the year 1834 to 1839 , the convictions had been at the rate of sixty per cent ., while for the mure serious offence of infanticide , the ratio had been ten per cent . In cases of arson , in the yeare from 1835 to 1837 , the number of persons committed had been 129 , of which 50 only had been executed , while in the two following yeare 102 had been committed , and two only hya been executed ; and in 1839 , when there had been no executions at all , the number of offenders had fallen to 73 . Guided by the result of their experience for these years , therefore , they had a right to legislate with confidence , and to hope that if they passed this Bill , the same happy results would bo produced which had been the result of their former efforts . The fear of death must have a certain effeotunon all human
beings ; bat the true question was , not whether the fear of death did or did not create an apprehension m their mind , but whether the certainty of punishment would not produce an effect more certain than any description of penalty which was inflicted with uncertainty . It was for the reasons whioh he had stated , without troubling the house further , and in the confident belief that if this Bill should pass , we should not only be relieved from what he would merely designate as the disgusting exhibition of toman beings expiating their crimes on the scaffold , but from all those effects arising from that exhibition , that he should give the measure hia support . Whatevermight be the fate of the BUlj let it stand on nts trae principles , and let noman obargeits supporters with false humanity . The true principle of the Bill was the protection of the public , by securing to offenders that punishment to which their enmea entitled them . ( Hear . )
The Earl of DARLINGTON said that he could not support the bill , because he could not go to the length to whioh it went . He was not the advocate for any sanguinary code of laws , and he rejoiced in the revision of our criminal enactments ; but as no one could remember any instance since the recent provisions had been adopted , in which an execution had improperly taken place , he could not see the necessity of so extensive a revision of the laws as was proposed . ( Hear , hear . ) He considered that in the case , of rape there could be but one opinion . Cases might arise in which the offender ought to receive capital punishment , and he thought the power of infliotion ought not to betaken away . With regard ; to crimes of a revolting nature , the same power ought to be retained ; and although in . some oases he admitted that the punishment of death ought not to he carried out , still he conceived that in
such cases as these it ought not to be bo entirely removed as wm proposed . ( Hear . hear . ) He thought that the bill , if jt were adopted in its present form , would be fraught with mischief to the public , and be should give his vote against it . Mr . HUME contended that it had been found that the sacrifice of life had no effisot in the decrease of crime , and that the tables would show that in every case in which capital punishment had been removed , onme had materially decreased . The true principle was to protect the community at large ; and he thought that that would be best done by the course which was proposed . Crime was to be prevented by the certainty of punishment ; and as that effect would be prodncea by this bill , he gave it his support . Mr . F . KELLY entreated the House to pass the bill , because he believed that the effect of its doing so would be to diminish the number of offences in respect 01 which capital punishment had been heretofore inflicted . That had been the result of all

such an effect had be « i ^ ooed ^ lte thought that they ought not now to sappise that an effect different from that which Jud beea before produced would accrue . He was unable to discover any distinction between the principle upon which this bill was founded and that apoa which the Noble Lord ( Lord John Russell > had , proceeded in 1837 ; and all agreed that , in the course which had been thus adopted , a great public benefit-had been secured . He believed it would be impossible to overstate the mischief likel y to arise from the refusal or neglect of juries to convict prisoners upon charges of a capital nature ; and it was because he believed that the bill would give increased protection to the community that he pressed its adoption upon the House . « . . - ^ . . . ... , __*
Sir ROBERT PEEL said that he could assure hi 9 Hon . Friend that he did not wish to impute to him the being influenced by any inconsiderate or falae feelings of humanity , in bringing forward this matter ; but that the course he had taken had resulted from the purest motives , and from the conscientious conviction that the removal of the punishment of death in the cases which he had proposed would add to the security of person and property . After having given the greatest consideration to the subject matter of this bill , he felt bound to say that he could not bring his mind to the conviction that the further mitigation of capital punishment in the case of some aggravated crimes would be attended with beneficial results , and his Hon . Friend proposed to carry it to an extent to which he was not prepared to go .
After some discussion , the House divided on the question , when the numbers were—For the third reading 51 Against it 74 Majority ..-...., 27 The Bill was consequently lost .
MR . FEARGUS O'CONNOR . Mr . AGLIONBy , at the suggestion of the Chancellor of the Exchequer , postponed his motion for the consideration of Mr . Feargus O'Connor ' s petition , presented on the 9 th of July , to a future day , on the understanding that he should 'have an opportunity of bringing it forward before the termination of the session .

We have lately had some symptoms of their spleemsh implacability in this village ; but this last week has been the crowning point to all their devilish machinations . The bud has opened and spread around its baneful stench ; the traits have appeared , by incarcerating the poor of this village within the prison walls of a bastile for the enormous crime of being poor .
Rejoice ye may , ye tyrants , in mirthful Malice grin at your hideous success , but Ye beware , when your barbarous power Reaches the apex , then comes the falL Had the Whigs attempted their own overthrow , they could not have done it more effectually than by passing a law contrary to reason and common sense ; a law setting at defiance all that is noble and digmHed m man , at variance with the laws of nature and of God , a dark and foul stigma on the annals of bngland ; an indelible stain on the plotters of this hateful conspiracy—a conspiracy against the riehts 01
me poor ; acombinatianto destroy the power of the rate-payers , and compel them to submit to the dictation of a three-headed monster . . The Whigs may throw abroad their " yellow humbug" Household Suffrage , in order to deceive the people , but if the people should condescend again to become their dupes , they will deserve all the evil that will fall upon them , having had a foretaste by the enaction of the Reform Bill , but the people have dearly bought experience , and are now too wise to be allured to their own destruction , by their former deceivers .
We have had a practical illustration of the tender mercies of the Poor Law Bystem in thia place . We have been eye witnesses to its dark and foul , and hideous working * . IB the first place , poverty is shown to be a crime , by the poor being tarn away from their homes , and their few articles of furniture sold , or else they must starve to death without " relief , and then be immured in a Bastile , in spite of their tears and remonstrances , in spite of the manifested opposition of the ratepayers , who desired to keep their paupers at home . . For this purpose there has been two public meetings , and the resolutions of each meeting laid before the Board of Guardians , showing them the desires of the wholeof , » he inhabitants of Pudsey , and bate also been
memorialised on the subject , but all to no purpose , thus showing , in the estimation of some people the enormity of the crime—poverty . The punishment of convicted criminals has been mitigated , and , in some cases , pardon has beengranted , by the performance of the same kind of means as we have put in operation : bnt , in the case of the poor , it cannot bo done . Thus we might as well have suffered them to proceed without praying them to extend their tender mercy to the poor of this township . Inhabitants of Pudsey , what does these proceedings teach us ; does it not show us the recklessness of the Whig law , and the Guardians regardlessness of the pain and anguish they create , and the misery they inflict ? They seem to revel in torturing thA
industrious classes of this land . This teaches U 8 that it is now high time to open our eyes to our concerns , and begin with all our might to effect our political regeneration . We have been building upon a very weak and sandy foundation , and it hath now vanished . We have placed « onfldence in our deludors , and the fruits we enjoy are sorrow and disappointment . Let us then rally round the standard of Universal Suffrage ; unite and organise for the attainment of such a glorious object ; it is worth all the labour you can bestow in gaining the Charter , were it for no other purpose than to banish the infernal Poor Law . I remain , Yours respectfully , ,. , , , James Mallinson . Pudsey , July 28 , 1840 .

CHARTIST PRAYER MEETING . A large meeting was held on Clerkenwell Green , on last Sunday morning , for the purpose of offering up a prayer for the imprisoned Chartists . The placard calling the meeting was directed to Christians of all denominations . A short and appropriate discourse was delivered on the occasion , and was followed by an address from a Chartist brother . The prayer was then read in the most devout and solemn manner , the assembly being uncovered , with Which the police , on being requested , courteously complied . FORM OP PRATER .
"Almighty God ! the Parent of all living ! the Father alike of the Queen and the peasant ! listen at this time we beseech Thee , to the voice of our united and fervent supplications . We confess before Thee , with shame and confusion , that we have sinned against Thee—that we have broken Thy most holy laws , and that in the payment of rates for the support of the Established Church , which is opposed to Thee both in word and in deed , we have robbed Thee of that supreme honour and regard to which Thou art entitled . But have mercy-on aa Oh ! God , we beseech Thee . Lord ! have mercy on us . Christ ! have mercy on us .
And whilst Oh ! Most Sigh' we are engaged at the Throne of Thy Heavenly Grace on our own behalf , we would not forget those who have placed themselves in authority over us , but whom we have never elected , and who have taken from na our "free-willofferings , " which we dedicated to support the poor , to clothe the naked , and assist the fatherless , and We appropriated tbrm to the support of their own Commissioners and Agents . Lord ! have mercy on their souls , pardon their iniquities , and blot out their transgressions . King of Icings ! and Lord of lor da ! have mercy on the
Queen , shew unto her the error of her ways , enlighten her mind that she may see the simplenessof attending the play-house on the Saturday , and taking the most Holy Sacrameatgat the Lord ' s Sapper on . the Sunday—lead her to the examination of herself and the awful state of the country—convince her that she cannot be the mother of the country whilst bo many of her children starving for lack of food—that she receives too much money for merely living ina large bouse , and signing Acts of Parliament , for oppreaaingthe people , Thy servants . O Lord > convert her and bet Royal husband . May the Lord have mercy on their cool * .
Oh , most merciful Father I whose Government , except where distorted by man , is all mercy ! Remember , we entreat Thee , our brethren , -who axe at thU time confined in dark and gloomy dungeons , for endeavouring by peaceful and Scriptural means to obtain possession of just rights—visit them even there—strengthen them with the consolations of the Gospel , and though they are prevented from attending the public means of grace , support their minds ; and if any should periah for want of the necessaries oflife , receive their spirits ,
and may tuey dwell for evermore with Thyself and the patriots that have gone before them . We rejoice in the contemplation of that great attribute of Thy character , by which Thou dost behold all the actions of men , whether good or evil . Thine eye did follow the arrest—the trial—the efforts to get convicted—yes , the very verdict is recorded on high in Heaven ' s court . Thou bast observed the minutest circumstances which have attended the persecutions of Tby servants and Thou hast and will sustain them . Deliver them out of the hands of their enemiea .

TODKQRDEN . .

He was a stone-mason and twenty-two years of age .
PRESTON . Preston amd Wtbk Railway . —Hobrible Acci * dent . —The Preston and Wyre Railway was opened with great gaiety on Wednesday week . An unfortunate man , named William Dean , a tailor , about thirty years of age , living in Butler's Court , P # a * ton , lost his life . On the train arriving at Maudlands , this man was observed to get into one of the second class carriages , from which he was ejected by one of the railway servants . He succeeded in again getting in , and was again turned out , having ao ticket authorising him , or any other permission . The train was BlowTy proceeding , aud by some contrivance he eluded the vigi ' anoeof the railway authorities , and was successful in getting down to
FJeetwood with the train . Between one and two o ' clock in the afternoon he was seen at Fleetwood ( by witnesses who gave evidence on the inquest taken on his headless body before Mr . Palmer , on Thursday ) , and was then perfectly sober . However , Soon after five in the evening , be was again seen , and was then much intoxicated . At seven o ' clock , shortly before the train left for Preston , he was again seen about the carriages , and appeared even worse in liquor . When the train was about to move . William M'Key constabulary officer , 236 , observed the deceased in a second class carriage and ordered him out , and then , seeing the helpless and improper state he was in , forbid him getting in again ; however he did not pay attention to the officer ' s
orders , but got in , and was again put out , when he passed back to the rear of the train and got out of the officer ' s view , the train having : then started . He was next > een it appears when the train had got a short distance along the -embankment near Fleetwood , and was then upon one of the first-class carriages , and soon afterwards a hat and cap were observed to fall on the ground , when Dean made a sigu to the engineer , as if beckoning him to -stop the train . Immediately afterwards he was missing , and an alarm was presently heaid that a man had fallen off , when , on looking back , the body of Dean was seen on the road , between the rails , and , most shocking to say , the head
wholly severed from it , on the outside . The train was stopped with all possible Bpeed , but all help was then useless . Three of the wheels had passed over the unfortunate man . The decapitation was as perfect as the keenest guillotine could have effected , and as correct as Sir Astley Cooper , or any other human am putator , could possibly have made it . The mangled remains were taken back to Fleetwood , and after the inquest had been held upon then OU Thursday , w .-re brought up by the even ing train . This poor creature , thus bo suddenly called from time into eternity , ha 3 left a disconsolate widow with three young children , of two of which she was confined only a very short time a&o . —Bolton Free Prm .
¦ : SVOCKVOUT . ; " Attempted Murde ^—Considerable anxiety prevails in the village of Compstall-bridge , and the higher part of Hillgate , in this town , arising from an attempt on the part of one Hannah Watkins , a married woman , and ' the mother of seventeen children , residing in the former place , attempting tp ^_ poison her husband , a mechanle , working inthis town , by means of a mutton-pie . It appears that considerable unhappiness prevails between them * in consequence of suspicions entertained by the hnsband , that his wife was unfaithful , and on his returning home on Saturday evening with his wages tad some mutton , the grievance was resumed , and " a violent quarrel took place- The following day she made
four pies . One she gave to he * husband to bung to Stockport , and the other were for the family consumption . He . accordingly partook of some on Monday , to his dinner , in this town , and was immediately Beized with vomiting , and the other symptoms usual in cases of poisoning . He desired , as the pie had disordered bis stomach , that ii might be thrown away ; but , not believing that the pie was the real cause of his affliction , it was given by the landlady to a poor neighbour , in Longshutt-lane , named Linfoot . who was very thankful at tbe pxospeot of a good meal . She in turn gave a lodger * who was far advanced in pregnancy , some portion of it ; and a little girl was also allowed to eat avbit . The consequence was that all three were similarlj afflicted to Watkins . The pregnant woman was , the following day . thrown into premature labour ; and the whole of them appeared so dangerous , that two surgeons were sent for on Wedneadav . who gave »
as their opinion that some mineral poison was the c * use of the sufferings of these people- Wattani then exclaimed , "O , my wife haa poisoned me ! " and from the other explanations he save , bis wife was apprehended without delay , at Compstall-bnd ge , and placed into Sadler ' s Wells , to await the result of the analization of the remaining portion of the pie by two surgeons . The same night , the wire a paramour was also taken into custody , on suspicion of a criminal knowledge ; and on Thursday , after a minute subjection of the food to the usual chemical tests by Messrs . Blackahort and John Rayner , surgeons it was discovered that portions of arsemo nw been mixed up with the pastry . The whole or tne persons who had eaten of the pie are consideTea ot » of danger ; and the author of this diabolical attemp t to poison her husband , it is expected , will be bro ogitt np for examination before Jhe magistrates on Saturday . She is very low , and appeared much affeewa in her confinement .

Tae practicability of maintaining a Steam Communication wi ; h Ladia by way of the Red SeaJi&s keen fully proved by the experiments tried by the Bast India Company , though , from the inefficiency « f tbe vessels employed by them , and tbe unavoidable irxegularhy of the Indian Dak , its advantages and facilities hive not been completely developed , while ether reasons , arising from the urgency of the pubale service , wul prevent the East India Company from e \ a mniiitvRing the eomxnasicatioa with the rwjpiired cenaiiity . The comoaunicavion , moreover , has been of small value to passengers , because confined to the line
Between Suez and Bombay—from whence to the Eastern side of India there is great difficulty in the transmission even of letters—whilst the conveyance ef passengers and parcels is most expensive , and at reasons wholly impracticable . Neither can passengers arriving at Suez from England depend on finding ae meanr of conveyance thence to India . ^ The British Government has recognised the hecestbj of entrusting tbe Post-office service to private-• ssociatiqnE , 111 aU cases of distant Steam Navigation . Tbe consJderatioDS which have led to this conclusion n the part of the Government apply with ten-fold
force in die case of the East India Company . ' . It is therefore proposed to establish a Company to carry in to effect a plan which , by means of Steam . Ships ' of large . tonnage and powerful engines , shall Connect the intercourse between Calcutta , Madras , Ceylon , and England , in one unbroken chain , reducing tb ^ communication as nearly to a certainty as any human calculations and efforts can accomplish . It would be most desirable that the Presidency , of Bombay should also bo included in the general arrangement , and there can be no doubt that eventealJy this will be done ; but for the present the East India Company purpose to retain this in their awn hands .
With the foregoing views , communications have been epeaed with the Si earn Committees in India , and by the last mall " the Directors have received re " - BUttaoces of moneyyw ? th the assurance ptadditional ¦¦ b scriptieaBj providedtne line l > etween Saez and Calcutta , « k « u , ( now ' wholly unoccupied ) be estabikbed in the first instance . To meet the wisaes of the Indian pnblic , and look-Ing to an immediate profitable return in the general call for Each a . preliminary step , it is proposed Ur PBrchwe and despatch to Calcutta , with the least poe&ble delay , the largest steam-vessel procurable , to be employed between that port and Suez , making # » or voyages from each place in the year .
^ To carry the entire service into effect for a regularly monthly communication , it is intended to build seven steam-ships of such tonnage and power aa to be applicable to the route by the Cape of Good Hope , in case of any interruption to that through The vessels will be also so constructed as to admit « f their carrying an effectual armament in ease of any warlike contingency . The number of passengers annually passing between Europe and our Indian possessions , was 3 , 169 ia tke year 1833-4 , of which 603 only were from
Besnbay , leaving 2 ^ 566 for sailing-ships between Gelcoiia , Madras , and Ceylon , aad Europe ; and it Jaay be fairly assumed that at least one-third of that Bamber will immediately adopt tbe Bhorter , cheaper and more expedJUooi route which will be afforded fcy the establikhmeni of the proposed first steamteat , that many persons will avail themselves of tke Company ' s ships as a conveyance from port to port la India , and that there will be eventually a great increase of travellers consequent on increased aciUtiea .
