For twenty years has our successful experience been directed to the treatment of a certain class of disorders, and we pledge ourselves to the removal of Syphilis, from its incipient symptoms to the re motest stages, characterised by every doubt, and whatever malig nancy. The intricate and much neglected diseases of the Urethra, have been carefully and studiously considered, as have also those delicate and important sympathies which refer to the Female Sex. The infirmities of virility have been especially noticed, whether as Arising from the debilitating tyranny of a tropical atmosphere—the natural bias of constitution—the imprudence of gaiety, or the more alarming results of a propensity to practices " which shun the light ;" the progress of which is marked by a gradual dereliction of the animal powers.

NOVA SCOTIA. We have received advices from Nova Scotia of a de scription rather unpleasant. A serious difference has arisen between the House of Assembly and the Board of Council, in consequence of which the President has felt it to be his duty to prorogue the Assembly. The state ment of these occurrences, as rendered by the Jour nals we have received, is exceedingly "lengthy."— It seems that the refusal of the Board of Council t o agree to the Revenue Bill sent up to them by the House of Asssembly, had produced some very severe remarks from the members of the latter body. Tlas produced a message-to them from the Council, in "hick it was stated that the Attorney-General had di rected the attention of the Council to several of the news 'eaNts in which reports, purporting to be the debates of the Assembly, reflected upon the proceedings of the Council ; and in one of these, (the Nova Scotian) the Council was accused of duplicity in their proceedings with ihr Asrentbly, in regard to the Revenue Bill; and that in vii.trjournals gross, libellous, and insulting charges, had ''teat made. The message further stated, that although tliv Council might have — refused to transact all further tusiness with the House of Assembly, and might led the printer and publisher to appear be ; yet unwilling,• by the first measure to t interests of the country, and not being invade any of the privileges of the Assembly, resolved to point out that it was the duty of the to punish such members as had used the ex reported. To this the House of Assembly re passing a string of resolutions, of which the ; are the most important : Ived—That the opinions passed by his Majesty's Council proceedings of this house, in their resolutions of the 7th ' the uncourteous terms in which they arc expressed, ; house from taking the subject matter of those resolu. consideration. ved—That this house entertains the highest respect for itelligence, and integrity of their honourable Speaker, iblic conduct has secured him the confidence of the house country." can cause them injure the willing to i they had re Awitnibly t pressions rc plied by pt lulluv ing al •• Ittsulved vpun the pros ' n 't 4 at, and pr dude this nous into eon " heisolvell Lamt, in( %buie public of the Cl BELGIUM. It would appear from the Belgic papers of Wednesday, that the Government of the Netherlands is proceeding with the reduction of the interest on the higher cla,ses of its stock, as the English Government has lately done, and as the French is about to do. On the 7th instant the Minister of Finance introduced a project of law into the Second Chamber of the States-General, for the conversion of the Stock bearing four and a half per cent. into one bearing interest of three and a half.— They are to have a bonus of 5 per cent. of increased ca-. pital to induce them to accept of the lower interest. Some opposition was offered to the project in the Cham ber, but the majority of the members declared in its fa vour, after a debate of three days. The numbers were -47 for the project, and 31 against it. The saving to the state will amount to nearly a million sterling if the opera tion completely succeeds. In the Brussels papers of Sunday we find the following modified project of law on the press. The legislation of the press was supposed to be settled by tho very liberal enactment of May last year. The Government, however, has ever since complained that the act in question is in sufficient to repress abuses. Six months, therefore, had not elapsed before the Dutch Administration proposed either to repeal it altogether, or to heighten its restraints, and to aggravate its penalties. Accordingly, on the 9th of December, a Royal message was sent to the Chambers, emblazoning the licentiousness of the press, and con taining the project of a severer law. This project, ' after being under discussion in the sections or commit tees for some months, was withdrawn and amended, on the apprehension that it would not pass in its original shape. Even in its modified form, it appears liable to great objections, as it is to be administered without a jury, and by judges who are still liable to be removed at the pleasure of the Crown. The late cruel sentence on M. de Potter and his associates, shows how far such judges will go, and how unsafe are the public rights in their keeping. " HAGUE, MAY 6.

CANTON TRADE. A list of Hong Merchants, stating the particular privi leges and powers with which they are invested in res pect to the Canton trade. The following is a list of the present Hong Merchants, according to their designations, as they stand in the fac tory books of the East India Company at Canton, in China :—Howqua, Mowqua, Chunqua, Puankhequa, Goqua, Fatqua, Kinqua. The whole foreign legal trade of Canton was formerly vested in the Hong merchants alone. By the regula tions established by the government, no Chinese subject was permitted to hold commercial intercourse or commu nication with foreigners, excepting the Hong merchants. Any Chinese infringing on those regulations became lia ble to be seized and punished for such transgression. Notwithstanding these regulations, the shopmen, or out side dealers, did carry on trade with foreigners, to a li mited extent ; and on a request to the government to authorize the trade of the shopmen, the Viceroy, in July, 1828, issued an edict, determining the articles is which the Hong merchants should continue to possess the ex clusive privilege, and leaving to the shopmen the trade in all other articles not enumerated. The privileges and powers given to the Hong mer chants consist in their having the exclusive right of dealing in 24 enumerated articles of export, and in 53 enumerated articles of import. In consequence of these privileges, they are made responsible for the good and orderly conduct of foreigners while in the river of Canton; for the due regular payment of all the imperial duties and port charges ; and for the prevention of all smuggling and illicit trade. In the whole foreign legal trade for the enumerated articles, the seven Hong merchants possess a strict and complete monopoly ; the prices for all goods bought and sold being settled by them and the foreign traders only, none other Chinese being allowed to interfere therein in any way whatever ; and so large an amount of the foreign trade being thus vested in the seven Hong merchants, they derive thereby a very great influence in fixing the prices of both exports and imports in each year. 1 ) 1?!:.F. 71).

THOM 1.‘014 EOM India House, May Extract, China Consultations, July 19, 1828. Proclanation concerning the Trade carried on by Shop men. Dated the 14th July, 1828. Le, Covernor of Canton, &c. with Yen, Commissioner of Customs at the port of Canton, hereby make known re gulations agreed upon for carrying on commerce between Asttiee shopmen and foreign merchants of all nations, and rehuire obedience to the same. The Treasurer and Judge of Canton, having received orders to meet and deliberate on the subject, reported to me, the Governor, as follows : " We, being commanded to meet and deliberate for re gulations for the trade between native shopmen and fo reign merchants, ordered the Kwang Chou Foo to unite with the Nauliae and Pan Yu Magistrates, and examine the old records on the subject, then consult, and state their opinion. They did so, and laid the result before us, when we came to the following resolutions : " Foreign merchants of all nations coming to Canton were formerly restricted in their dealings with shopmen to leather shoes, China ware, &c.—eight articles. Ex clusive of these, all imports and exports were confined to the Hong merchants, who were made responsible for the duties, to prevent smuggling and such nefarious proceed ings. The linguists were appointed solely for interpreting, and were not responsible for trade. It is proper to keep them on the old footing, in conformity with existing laws. " But the Hong merchants have now represented that the Americans are now desirous to trade either with shop men or Hong merchants, as they please, whether for great or small commodities ; and of late foreign ships in great numbers have come to Canton, in which are a great many trading skippers for whom the eight articles to which they were restricted are insufficient. The circumstances of present and former times are different. That, on delibe ration, they would make out a list of the larger articles of import and export cargo to be confined to the Hong mer chants, and earnestly solicit a change (of the old law), which would be showing compassion to remote foreigners, and be beneficial at home. This was their motive. " We, the Treasurer and Judge, commanded the officers before named to examine into this subject, and report, which they did. It is proper for us now to state the re sult, which is, that a list be made out of exports, tea, raw silk, &c. 53 articles; all of which large commodities the shopmen shall be prohibited from dealing in. All other goods not inserted in the list, whether exports or imports, coarse and heavy commodities, miscellaneous articles, and eatables, shall be left free for the foreign merchants to deli with shopmen, and shall be shipped off by Hong merchants, who are to be responsible for the duties. As to worked silks, since they are not brought from Souchow or Hangchow, but woven from time to time by the natives of Canton, when applied for by the foreign merchants, and since the Hong merchants say that this practice is expedient both for foreigners and natives, it is right to grant their request to leave silks free. " All coarse and miscellanecus articles now inserted in the list are free to the foreign merchants who now chooses to deal with shopmen; but, hereafter, if the shopmen incur debts, the Mandarin merchants shall not be implicated ; the foreign merchant must, in all such cases, be left to himself to clear his account " With respect to shopmen dealing with foreigners, it is inexpedient to leave them without some one to inspect their conduct. We, the Treasurer and Judge, request that it may be made the duty of the Hong merchants and linguists from time to time ; and, should there be any smuggling, the Hong merchants shall be responsible, and the linguists be brought up and punished. " This change seems required by the times ; and since the foreigners will be compassionated, the merchants accommodated, and the responsibility fixed, there will be no loss to the revenue, nor any obstacle from the laws. " Having received orders to examine and consult, we now submit whether these suggestions be right or not, and wait for instructions to promulgate them : we, more over, request that a communication may be made to the Hoppo to examine and conform." These statements have come before me, the Governor; and as the deliberations are completed, I direct, in ac cordance with the above suggestions, a list may be made out of exports—tea, raw silk, &c.-24 articles.—[ Here he quotes verbatim the preceding paragraphs, and desires the Hoppo to issue a proclamation in their united names to the Hong merchants, to communicate the orders of Government to the foreigners of all nations, and to the native shopmen, that one and all of them may yield obe dience to the same.] Thus the affair comes before me, the Hoppo, and I hereby issue, in the name of the Governor and Hoppe, the following orders :—(Here he repeats the preceding, and then adds—) Let merchants, foreigners, and linguists and shopmen, all be hereby fully informed that hereafter they are re quired implicitly to obey the preceding regulations, to examine and conform their dealings to the list of exports, and imports hereto annexed. Hong merchants alone are allowed to trade in the articles therein contained. Shop men are not permitted to have any secret intercourse with foreigners. Of the wrought silk each ship is to be limited to 8,000 catties. The said shopmen are permitted to deal withfo reigners only for miscellaneous articles, not in the great articles of commerce. The foreign merchant, in dealing with shopmen, has been required to give in a list through the linguist, whose ears and eyes were very near, and can very easily in vestigate. Hereafter, in reporting goods to be shipped off, he must distinguish clearly which belong to Hong merchants and which to shopmen. It is made the duty of the linguist to discriminate according to law ere a permit be given. He is tot allowed to confuse those things ; if be do, hi will be severely punished. The linguists are besides ordered to make out a list of all the foreign goods' shop., and whether the owners be substantial good people, and cause them forthwith to present to Government associated names for security, to be preserved on record. As to any debts that may be contracted, the foreigners themselves must manage the affair. • • ; • • - • ' It is made incumbent on the Hong merchants and lin; 7 1 , guists to examine and report on what is going on. If they presume to conceal what they - know, and any clan destine proceeding be educed, they will be severely pro secuted. Positively, the Governor's and Hoppo's words gone forth ; the law will follow. Positively no indul gence will be shown. Let every one implicitly obey. Oppose not this special edict.

The petitioner, recommended an increase of duty on gin, on the ground that the low price of both articles would produce wore vice and immorality among the lower classes of the people. WEAVERS . PETITION. Earl STANHOPE begged to call the attention of their lordship, to a petition from the Weavers of Coleshill, in Coventry, signed by 2,400 of that trade. They complained of deep distress, and hay 'in; no support for themselves and their families. They stated, that out of 2,800 looms, 1,500 were unemployed. The Noble Earl also re. sented a petition from Whitby, complaining of distress among lll seamen of that port, and the hardship of being compelled to pay to wards Greenwich Hospital. SHIPPING INTEREST. Earl STANHOPE then rode pursuant to notice, and said, in pre senting the petition which the ship-owners of the port of London had done him the honour to place in his hands, he felt himself under the necessity of making a few observations upon the subject, which he considered one of the greatest importance. In so doing, he should ab ' stain from all details, because that was not the proper time for going Into all the bearings of the question. It would be in the recollec. Lion of their lordships, that the newfangled principles of free trade were introduced by persons who had retired from office, but their pernicious councils still influenced the rulers of the country. — At the time the new system was introduced the ship-owners said time changes could not be made without danger to. he shipping loftiest It had been shown by the results of a series Of years, that it was impracticable for the ship-owners to compete with foreigners, Roder the new system. Their lordships knew that the wages of foreign seamen were from twenty to twenty-five shillings a month. The English seamen obtained from fifty to fifty-five shillings, and how the ship-owners could enter into competition under that difference their lordships might decide. The effect had compelled the shipowners to lower their freights. (The Duke of Wellington here expressed a gesture of dissent)....ll the noble duke differed from that statement, that noble duke should in justice to his own opinion, allow an inquiry into the subject. He had received communications on the subject, and it was stated by the petitioners that the effect of this reciprocity system had reduced the capital of the ship-owners one-half. Not only had their capital ban reduced one-half, but they had been com pelled to reduce their rate of freight to the rate of freight in fo reign ships. If that was the fact, and the noble earl believed that it could not be denied, how could the merchants avoid the reduction of seamen's wages ? It had been said that the petitioners were un reasonable in their demands : that was not the case. They required that which they were entitled to. They required that the articles purchased by this country in foreign ports should be imported in British vessels. The noble earl said he should be obliged to the noble duke to explain whether or not he denied the fact stated in every petition from the ship-owners, namely, that the petitioners had reason to be dissatisfied with the indifference they had met with. (Hear.) If the noble duke did not admit the fact, it would be clear and evident that Parties - mist were bound to institute an Inquiry; but if the noble duke did admit that to be the case, he certainly did wish to hear that noble duke explain why the ship-owners did not receive proper attention. He was aware, however, that upon this, u on other occasions, little at tention would be shown to the complaints and remonstrances of the class whose interest he was disposed to advocate, although be had himself no participation in that interest. Their complaints had been from year to year laid before Parliament, and no justice had been done. He trusted that would not always be the case, and that their lordships would introduce inquiry. What was the com plaint of the petitioners ? They said they received no remuneration for their cr.pital, and it was the duty of those whose interest had been sacrificed, to seriously remonstrate. It would be sane satis faction to the petitioners—some answer—if his Majesty's Govern ment would assure them that the treaties of reciprocity concluded with almost every part of the world would not be renewed, and that the treaty which the Noble Duke had lately concluded with the United States of America would continue but for a limited period. He knew it would be said that whilst those treaties of reciprocity continued it would be impossible to give the petitioners relief, but something might be done to mitigate their losses. It might be said the reciprocity treaties would not be renewed. The Noble Earl con cluded by moving that the petition do lie on the table. The Duke of WELLINGTON was not at all surprised that the noble earl avoided going into detail ; had the noble earl done so. he would have discovered cause to doubt the truth of some of his asset.. tions ; he would have seen from the papers connected with his peti tion, which have been from time to time moved for and placed on the table of the House, that since the commencement of the reciprocity treaties, the shipping of Great Britain had increased at least to One half more than it was prior to those treaties. From a document which he held in his hand he could substantiate that assertion to the satisfaction of their lordsldps. (Hear.) From that paper, it appeared that the number of ships entered outwards, in the year 11814, was 8,975 ; in 1815, the number was 9 : 959 ; the" average number for the three following years, that is, from 1815 to 1818, both inclusive, will be found to be no less than 12,088; fur the three fol. lowing years, namely, up to 1823, inclusive, 11,031 for the years 1824, 1825, and 1826, the number is 12,574 ; and for the three years ending with 1129, the average is 13,409, being, in round numbers, 5,000 of increase beyond the amount before 1814, the date of the reciprocity treaties. He begged, also, to direct the attention of ' their lordships to the fact, that the increase in British ahlpping, to which he had just alluded, was * gradual increase. He could also assure the house that the amount of last year exceeded any former year previous to 1814. Whilst he stated they facts, he would also take a review of the foreign shipping. From an authentic source it appeared that the number of these trading to the port of London was 5.286 ; for the following three years, the average was 3.974 ; for the three following . namely, to 1820, the ave rage number was 4,039 • to 1823, 3,573 ; to 1826. 6,114 ; and lastly, to 1829, 5,406 ; ;hum showing a material falling off in fo reign ships during the same period that an increase, as he had shown, had taken place in British shipping.--(Hear.).—The state ments made by the noble earl re-tarding the ruinous has which at present, and for some time beef attended the shipping trade ge nerally, he must be allowed to say that it appealed surprising that so many should be found to follow a losing trade, . and that the number of ships should be increased. The advantages of the trade, he admitted, might not be pest, but still there were advan tages.
