TT was the Remark of the great Dr. Sydenham, IT that acete diseases are the punishment of HEAVEN; bat that chronic ores are inflicted by ourselves. The consequence of a prevailing malady proclaims too feelirgly to the sufferers this unwelcome truth. What situation can be so pitiable where the mind glows with pas.,ion which the infirmiti:s of body can not indulge?—Where indiscretion, or mal-treatment have pro duced the premature debility of age in the sexual organs, and where the bloom and vigour of manhood is no loilger aloe to its .natural ynuthful fire ? To such Messrs. COOPhll and Co. offer every consolation, at:d the promise of A certain, safe, and per mans at Curt, conducted with the delicate secrecy it requires, and speedily renovating the lost enemies. Nor are their sufferings less severe from another complaint.— STRICITRE occasions a total derangement of the urinary system ; the nights are harassed bypain, a.KI the day by fruitless efforts to gain relief. Ilene a regulated system, is the hanks of science and skill, overcomes every difficulty, and rouses the powers of the constitution to act for itself; in the success of this principle Messrs. Cooper apd Co. have never failed, and Stricture as a complaint always under their contrcul. 'Messrs.

" Life . is only Life, se:ben blest wi►l Health." THE finest System of Ethics is to confine within due bounds, .md thus to regulate the Passions; unre strained and insubordinate they impetuously destroy those bar riers which Religion and Morality have made sacred; to curb, but nut to annihilate them, appears the lesson of prudence, beat calculated to limit their effervescence. disorganization 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 interest-AI) devote theit studios to the treatment of those complailits 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 melanc holy to re flect on the daily sacrifice to the ignorance of unfeeling empyri cisrn, and to anniteract, as far as possible, its further ravage.,, we offer to stifferieg humanity, the result of our own experience in she various diseases of Debility.

We best exylain cur method by observing to Patients labouring tinder this malaiy, that a few days only are required for the removal of early symptoms ; that tke most iuveterate case will yield to our reme dies within a month ; and that is 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 or stimulants.

PdIitLIAMENTARY PROCEE DINGS. HOUSE OF LORDS, FEBRUARY 24. The i t Gan Csroncutoa being detained on important bud. ne , s at the Council, did not come down to the House till nearly five o'clock. Mr. Bosnter, (rem the Mint Circe, presented a variety of Aocounts rolehing the Coinage, prices of-Bullion, &c. pursuant to former Orders of the Nouse, which, on the motion of the Earl of I.sumatinstr, were ordered to be printed. The Annual Indemnity Dill was, on tip:Motion of the Earl of Lfvor . vom., read a second time; 29 WZS, on the motion of the Eati of Domovozmoar,, the Irish Election Regulating Bill. The Expising Laws, the Local Jurildiction and the hhitiny Bills, severally passed through Committe e s of ;.he whole House, and were reported. QUESTION OF PRIVILEGE. • The Earl of LAUDERDALE rose to move the Order of the Day, for taking into consideration the subject he had on the pre c edi ng day adverted to, with regard to the Resolutions of Supply, passed by the House of Commons. It was not his intention, he said, to cccupy their Lordships' time at any length in the observations he had to submit, as,the matter to which they referred was confined within a very narrow compass. Upon re-considering the question before their Lor&iiips, be found it to be much more plain and simple than lie had at first strpposed, and he should, therefore, have little diffiy tulty in shewing that the case itself was entirely un precedented, and threatened the very worst conse quences to those rights which had so kapg been sanc tioned by the Legislature. He should 'now, perhaps, be indtilged, if he stated briefly what had invariably been the practice of Parliament with regard to this subject. Ministers, when sums had been voted by a Committee of Supply for the Army, the Navy, or any other public service, were accustomed to apply certain portions of the money to some specific pur pose, and such a proceeding became legalized by an Act of Parliament. This mode had been recognized by the Constitution : but it was not competent to the House of Commons to resort to any other, fbr if they did so by way of Resolutions, they acted illegally, . and the instrument was no better than waste paper. The next Parliament might apply the sums granted in the preceding one to quite different purposes to those for which they were originally intended. He could prove from authority which was not likely to be questioned, that the course of proceeding which had been adopted was contrary to Parliamentary or der. (Here the Noble Earl read a passage from Hat sel, to prove that money could not be voted for the use of the Army, the Navy, or any other public ser vice, without the sanction of an Act of Parliament). ije then proceeded to urge, that payments, which, . according to the Constitution must cease on the de. mise of the Crov.-n, could not be continued by the House of Commons. In reference to this point, he adverted to the annuities which had been settled on the Prince and Princess of Wales, contending that . they could not be continued, from the change that had taken place io the circumstances which gave rise to them. Yet he did not, as he-had already said, wish to embarrass the Government:nor require the • production of any accounts—all he objected to was the mode in which the arrangements for the public service were made.* Had he no other objection than this to urge, it would have been strong enough, yet there were many others which he was unwilling to go into, in detail. In 1784, it war Solemnly decided by the other House, that it was a high crime and . misdemeanour for any person employed. in the Ex chequer, the Bank, or any other public office, to pay' any. money for the public service, after the Parlia ment whith had voted it had been dissolved, unless by a special Act of Appropriation.. But what was it that was now done?-.-Why, it was assured that Parliament was about to be dissolved, and this House had been called upon to echo the Message of the Crown, even to the disregard of its own privi leges. The Noble Earl in the next place referred to the course pursued in 1807, and commented on the argunients urged, on the day before, by the Earl of Liverpool. in conclusion, he moved three Resolu tions, the purport of which was, that the House of Commons had passed certainitesolutions of Supply, that such a course of proceeding was contrary to the established forms of Parliament, and most unconsti tutional ; that, however, under present circumstances, their Lordships forbore to oppose any measures which the public service might demand, though they de precated; as a precedent, the mode which had been adopted. After his Lordship had finished reading the Resolutions, he said, th..4t the tlousc.would psr ceive, from the manner in which they had been dqtwn up, that it was not his intention so throtv any impediment in the way of his Majesty's Government at the present juncture. The Earl of LIVERPOOL was ready to admit that thallesOlutions moved by the Noble Earl were consistent with the description*he had given of thorn in'the conclusion of his speech. Theylivere Well dratin up, as to his view of offering no obstruction to the progress of public business; but, at the . same time, they contained wcensure on the other House cf Par liament, which, before their Lordships could adujit, would induce them to pause and consider whether anything had been done by that House which w,as not fully warranted by precedent and practice.— Unless there was something special in the present case, there could-be no ground for noticing it in the . way the Noble Earl proposed. Now he was pre pared to contend, that nothing either contrary to the practice cf theother 'House or to the Constitution had occurred. There was an important distinction be tween granting money, and appropriating it when raised ; but into this distinction the Noble Earl had not entered.. it was clear that no money could be used, except what was raised by the authority of an Act of farlidnaent. •Thie principle applied even to. loans ;for though contracted for by the first Loodraf the Treasury, and though the first last:deism iiesce someiimes paid on the' day on which: the' contract teas made, the money could -not be applied unta medium received .the sanction of Parliament: The instalments were paid-over to the Burk, and held by .. .. ~ :~. k.
