THE fineq System of Ethics is to confine 'within due bounds, and thus to regulate the Passions; wire strained and insubordinate they impetuously destroy those bar riers which Religion and Morality have made sacred ; to curb, but not to annihilate them, appears the lesson of prudence, best calculated to limit their effervescence. Every disortznization of the human frame requires great me dical knowledge to remedy, and the public welfare is promoted when professional men (disregarding the suggestions of the envi ous and interested) devote their studies to the treatment of those complaints generated by imprudence, and the ebullition of the passions at an unguarded moment. " The strength of a Nation consists in the health of the People ;" but it is melancholy to re flect on the daily sacrifice to the ignorance of unfeeling empyri cism, and to counteract; as far as possible, its further ravages, we offer to suffering hurnacity, the result of our own experience in the various diseases of Debility. The unwary victim of solitary Vice (early acquired at school, before reason has asserted her right over the mind), will, in contemplating his powerless state, be come susceptible of enlivening sensations, in knowing that the most complicated state ciezhalstion may be roused into man!) energy. Intense study—immoderate anxiety--long residence in tropical Climes, and matiy other causes, will frequently derange the Ner vous System ; in such cases we can hold out an assurance of re animation, by remedies which have long answered the sanguin hopes of Patients of both Sexes. That bane to human bappinest, LUES VENEREA, tan no be treated fearlessly, the improved Kate of . Medical Science having divested its antidote of those distressing properties that so long rendered its exhibition uncertain and harassing. We best explain our method by ol,serving to Patients labouring under this m.dady, that a few days only are required for the removal of early symptoms ; that the most inveterate case will yield to our reme dies within a month ; and that in a person who only suspects him self injured, the disease may be prevented altogether from appear ing ;—a similar remark applies to many other derangements of the generative system, as weakness, ulcerations, &c. especially stric tures, obstinate cases of which are daily removed without the use of caustic dr stimulants. Some peculiarities incidental to the softer sex have not -escaped our attention; in which mildness, combined with efficacy, have superseded the means usually adopted. In fine, our system is unique, peculh.r!y energetic, and eminently successful. F.dueated in this our native city ; schooled is our professional attainment by its splendid Medical characters; and having been able, personally, to compare with admiration the Britieh Sur gic .l with the Continentitl, onr pretensions to supetiorit y (io a branch we have selected) are matured by experience, which is evinced by the daily applications we receive, even from distant countries.

The poll was carried on this day in a very 'low manner. At half-past tw. , Mr. CHARLES CALVERT, one of the successful Memberscor the Borough, came to the hustings, and voted for Aldermen WOOD, THORP, and WAITHMAW. The numbers were declared to be, at the close or the poll : Mr. TRONA! WILSON 2207 LORD MAYOR - - 1803 Sir WILLIAM CURTIS - 2064 Alderman Tuna* - 1584 Alderman WOOD - - 2062 Alderman WarrisseAn 1550 Mr. Wicsos, in a few words, returned thanks for' the continued exertions of the Livery in his favour; and he was the more grateful for these, because maey had voted for him whom his friends did not expect to do o. He might now, without presumption, express his confidence for the final result of the poll, and he should therefore not detain them longer than merely to say, that while he expressed himself in the highest degree obliged to them, he humbly hoped they would pet - severe in their efforts, and thus establish their in dependence. Mr. T. CURTIS, son of the Baronet, next came for ward, but could not be heard. He was in high spi rits, and joined his friends in their huzias and waving of hats. He pointed to the state of the poll, as a proof of the high estimation in which his father was held, and then bowed to the Livery and withdrew. Mr. Alderman WOOD observed, that the Livery would recollect he had yesterday anticipated the suc-' cess which he had that day met with. He had, ac cordingly, that slay gained considerably on the poll; but still it was very singular why so few had come forward on the present occasion, because, on the fourth day of the poll in 1818, he had polled nearly one thousand more than even his worthy Friend Mr. Wilson had as yet done. He was not conscious of l having done anything to induce any Of the Electors to withdraw their suffrages from him • and on that ground he looked forward with un doubted confi dence to the three thousand who supported him on the last poll, and who had yet to vote. He had no influence over the Livery, and he would scorn the very idea of being obliged to have it said, that he had withdrawn his custom from any tradesman, be cause th at tradesman might have voted against him At all events, whether he was at the bead of the poll, or at the fourth station on it, he would persevere in doing his duty ; and he earnestly hoped that they would be industrious that evening 4 and would recol lect that Tuesday was the last day of the poll. " I like no reserve," said the worthy Alderman ; I call upon all the Livery to comejorw ward. I call on them to perform that duty which they owe to themselves and their country, and to vote according to the dic tates of their own consciences, and their conviction that such tote will be for the public good. It would, I am persuaded, be unnecessary for me to say more, than merely to add, that I am now in your hands, and it is for you, and you only, to say, whether yoti judge me worthy or not of perksessing your confi dence. I have no wish to be presumptuous, but I hope, from your already zealous aorta, I shall be I laced still higher on the poll." The LORD MAYOR thanked the Livery for the ef- I forts they hod made in his behalf. The advantage he bad already gained was very trifling, but he con fidently anticipated better success. If returned he Would do his duty; but, whatever the result mtght be, he hoped such geed humour would be kept up among the Candidates and the Livery, that there should be bo grudge against the winhitig Candidates. Mr. Alderman Iltoitio rePiarked, that though be did not, perhaps. occupy the very statibn of the poll which he "could have wished, he was nevertheless ex ceedingly grateful to thi worthy Livery, for the conduct which they had exit ced towards him. It would be unmanly to entertain any dismay; only a very small body of the Livery had polled. In one hour on the list day cf the last poll, the appearance of the poll had been 'completely changed, and he did not despair of the same being the case now,: Their friends in the Borough of Southwark had that day done their duty, and driven their opponent front his post; and he had no doubt that they would eorne up to-morrow in columns, to rally round and .t 6 steengthen the hands of the friends And advdcates of independence in this mighty contest. Mr. Alderman WAtrumart said, as yet he bid nd occasion' to alter his opinion as to the state of the 014 for, oh the contrary, he considired that station which he now held; to be a decisive triumph for his friends and himself. He bad told them before, that he was peculiarly Marked out as an object of vengeance on the other siclf; and he had no hesita= tion in saying, that undue influence had been re , sorted to to bring up voters, not only to pledge them selves against their consciences in the votes they gam hilt he also knew that an injunction had been given to them, not to vote for hi m . H e h ear d a gentle man behind him now hissing. So that individual - was at liberty to do, but it was much mote easy to smother strong truths than to refute tlAm (Cheers). He appealed with confidence to the high station le held at the last Election, when 4660 had returned him, and he was more bold now than ever, because he had most liberal assurances from un immense number. He agreed with his worthy friend, N!r. Wood, that very few indeed had polled, but it was proper for him to state, that in looking over the votes given against him, he did not find them at all ade quate to the number who had pledged to vote for him. He hoped the friends of independence would reflect that only three days remained yet for them to poll, and that, if they carre to the poll on the last two days, they would not have time to poll. If the Livery were now to oppose the return of those thtee Members, who had voted against the three millions of additional taxes, and the other burdens imposed on the Nation, then he would ask how, in the *lime of GOD, they could ever Meet in thatliall to cops- plain of Any taxation, of of any grievlinces, It lAA been advised by masy,that Parisaustut sheuid - iron be ditsolveifor some inouthslonier, but be believed the dissolution soon took place, es Was reporitd, or I the express purpose of loading the Public with trve hUndred thousand pounds mo re of burden s , merely Ito promote the ends of bribery and corruption, with: out one single good act for the Public, or even doe advantage to the Monarch. If the Livery of Lon don, and to them the eyes of the enlightened world were now turned, were to send into Parliament such men as would support the vote of Ministers, h.ey might for ever bid &Mirel to any further pretensions so libecty. • The worthy Alderman made a most able and powerful appeal to the Livery for their sup; port, and had no doubt they would finally triumph over all opposition.—The Hall then adjourned.

DINNER TO MR. OWE The canvass for the Lanark District of Burghs having unexpectedly become less favourable towards Mr. °wart, in that town, than many of the inhabi tants anticipated, on Friday se'nnight, a public dinner was given to him in the County Hall, at Lanark, by a number of the Burgesses and inhabitants, in testi mony of their admiration of his intri•pidity and per severance in his designs for the public welfare, and of esteem and respect for his character in prlirate life. Althbugh the measure had only been in contempla tion for twb days, the Hall was crowded to Overflow ing, and many persons were disappointed for want of more timeoas intimation. An invitation to Mr. Owin had been sent on the evening preceding the Meeting, and a polite card of acceptance returned. He accordingly attended, accompanied by .Mr. MIL- Lan, Ackonte. At four o'clock, the Chair was taken 14 WILLI4M LOCKHART, Esq. of Balm:114d, Bailie Witsos t was Croupier. After several loyal toasts were given, Mr. LOCK HART pronounced a short and just encomium on the character of Mr. Ovrem, and proposed the health of that individual, and success to his spirited and bene volent exertions for the good of mankind, which was received w itb the most unbounded enthusiasm and applause. In returning thanks for the mark of approbation which the Meeting had bestowed, Mr. Owl entered into a detail of his Plans, and referred to the know ledge of every individual present, for confirmation of the beneficial results which had flowed from his sys tem) as developed-in its practical application to the village of New Lanark. During the whole of his speech, Mr. OWEN was heard with the most profound attention ; and when he concluded, he. was greeted with a bur-t of applause. In the course of the evening, the Meeting were gratified with some elegant and appropriate speeches from Mr. MILLFht, and the utmost cordiality and unanimity prevailed throughout. The thanks of the Meeting were given .to,Mr. Lecnnartr for his con duct in the Chair. A Meeting like the present is believed to be-un precedefited and when it is known thilt it took place without previous concert, from the spontan eous feel ings of the inhabitants who were present, it reflects great lr..nour on Mr. Owen, whose character is so much under the eye of the inhabitants of Lanark.
