" The work, as a whole, is calculated to have a useful effect in directing attention to the various systems of education, and in inducing thoughtful men and women to examine in a philosophical spirit those evidences or results of civilisation with which they are surrounded."—Observer. " This work is remarkable for the carefulness with which it has adhered to the exact province marked out by the term civilization, greatly to the advantage of the precise and logi cal character of the treatise. Mr. Harris discusses the nature of civilisation in a very lucid and comprehensive manner. Of course, however, a work like this must be full of controver tible propositions. We can, at all events, say that Mr. Harris's theories are carefully considered and ably pro pounded ; and if we cannot agree with all that he says, we are delighted with the generous and truth-seeking tone in which he discusses all the questions which come before him." —John Bull.

By F. B.

The cases which Mr. Courtenay has given supply ample evidence of his great discriminative power in the diagnosis of the various kinds of stricture, and of the scientific principles upon which their management is founded. By his systematic management an immense mitigation of pain to the unhappy sufferers is attained, and future mischief prevented. The work we can most unreservedly and confidently recommend as a valuable contribution, both to the general and professional reader, and ought to be found in the private study of all who arc subject to stricture."—Medical Circular.

" The Post-office Turkish Bath, 19, St. Martin's-le-Grand. an able ph ys i c i an —Dr. C u l verwell has already established the reputa ti on of p hil anthropist, in ; as far as he has established, in the heart he has now proved himself to be a worthy of the City, an institution that more nearly than any disco very of mod ern days, goes nearer the abolition of the practice of physic, than any proposition or invention yet established, the Turkish Bath. . . Our object being merely to direct the attention of our City readers to the fact that they possess one of the best set of baths, at 19, St. Martin's-le-Grand, which the country can pr o d uce; perfect i n all i ts app li ance s, and most admirable in effect. Dr. Culverwell has fitted up of elegance, luxury, and refinement, his which,ba t hive considering r a degree i thendgree space at his disposal, is truly sur prising,that taste or delicacy could desire Vre may justly while everythi ng has been obtained to add to the comfort and luxury of the and sal' that if a man ever ;feels himself regenerated new roads, it is on coming outof..a Turkish Dath."—Era, Oct. 13, not. visitor. • • When the Lowlantiers rushed to battle with the cry, " Gott defend the right I" the Highlanders, as they pulled their bonnets tighter on their brows, raised the slogan, " God defend the M.Gregors, whether they be right or wrong !" The Grecian ruler declared that be should scorn to be as just to an enemy as to a friend. When the farmer stated that his bull had gored the lawyer's cow, the latter demanded payment of damages. Bat when it turned out that it was the lawyer's bull that had gored the farmer's cow, the former changed his law and said, " Oh, that alters the case." As reason, with lofty integrity, raises its serene head above the chopping surge of prejudice and passion—as intelligence and reflection maintain their loyalty to and veneration for inexorable law and even-handed justice—as divine philosophy reigns supreme in the statutes of inflexi ble moral principle, and'proclahns and enforces the univer sal rule of right just in the measure of that serene judicial temper does a people become humanised and righteousness exalteth a nation, " Oh, Liberty I" exclaimed Madame Ro land, "what deeds are done in thy name I" Protestants and Catholics burned each other—Churchmen and Dissenters were equally persecutors and bigots. Episcopacy banished Presbytery to New England ; and scarce had the latter settled in the New World when it drove Independency to the woods, where the latter in its turn condemned Quakers to execution. The love of liberty and of country is glorious in Hampden or Wallace in England and Scotland, but utterly iniquitous in India. Whigamores are heroes at Bothwell Brig, and their Covenant crotchet is sacred; but Pandies have no right to have a religion. The superstition that testifies at the Grassmarket is glorious; while self sacrifice for an ancient faith at Delhi is worthy only of being blown from guns or "hung like fun." Because the Fodoraliats arc Republicans, and the Con federates slave-owners, we have been expected to belie every fundamental political principle with which this paper has from its first number been identified, Hard cases, it is said, make bad law—respect of persons and of parties makes politicians palter with principles and trifle with their con victions. "Disloyalty, allegiance, insurrection, traitors, rebels, oaths of fealty, swearing to the Constitution, sedi tious assemblies," are words and expedients as glib in the mouth of Seward, the Republican demagogue, as of Bomba or Francis Joseph. His Generals and their proclamations are as like Kirke and Claverhouse as two peas of one pod. The putting of test oaths to suspected persons, or prisoners, is the very expedient by which Dalzell's dragoons, or Graham's Life Guards, detected Covenanters by asking them to renounce the Covenant. " New presbyter is but old priest writ large." Why are we to read our political creed backwards on the other side of the Atlantic? Why does democracy abet tyrants because they are the rulers of a Republic in place of a monarchy ? Read Wendell Phillips's own account of the pass to which the Union has come, not muttered in a corner, but proclaimed in the largest hall to the greatest and most distinguished assembly of New Y ork—himself an Abolitionist and Federalist— every assertion avouched by the unanimous assent of his audience :—" There is," said he, "not an element of good in this war—nothing we might not have gotten better, fuller, and more perfectly in other paths You know we never shall go out of this war without a debt of at least 2,000 millions of dollars—we pay Jeff Davis's debts as well as our own—debt, the fatal disease of Republics— the first thing, the mightiest to undermine Government and corrupt the people. When we go out of this war we go out with an immense disbanded army—an immense military spirit, embodied in two-thirds of a million of sol diers, the inevitable source of fresh wars and new debts— things enough to make the most sanguine friends of free institutions tremble for the future. You know the writ of habeas corpus has been suspended, the right of free meeting and of free press are annihilated in every square mile of the Republic. We live to-day, every one of us, under martial law or mob law. The Secretary of State puts into his bas tile, with a warrant as irresponsible as that of Louis, any man he pleases. And you know that neither press nor lips may venture to arraign the Government without being silenced. It is a mere question whether you prefer the de spotism of Washington or that of Richmond. We are tend ing toward that strong Government which frightened Jef ferson, toward that unlimited debt, that endless army. We have already alien and sedition laws. We have passports which even Louis Napoleon pronounces odious. Govern ment spies frequent our great cities. It is the same posi tion that England held when Holcroft, Tooke, Frost, and Hardy went into dungeons, and the laws that Pitt exe crated, Burke praised. There is no single right that Go vernment is scrupulous to protect except the right of a man to his slaves. Every other bulwark has fallen before the necessities of the hour." The people acquiesce in the dic tatorship, actually foltity and do homage to the despotism; they hate their seceding fellow-citizens so much more than they love liberty or prizo their Constitution, that they ape every vice of Bourbon absolutism, and defy every maxim of popular institutions. At last Mr. Seward proves that he not only disregards, but not so much as even knows, the least doubtful of - moral obligations, and in a formal despatch avows that the Republic recognises no law but its own interest and convenience; that thestolen goods of which he became the receiver, the prisoners kid napped by Wilkes, are given up, not on account of the law lessness of the theft, but of the worthlessness of the booty; and that, if the fancied exigencies of the Union required the perpetration of a wrong, it would be his right and duty to commit it. _ _ Our earliest convictions were only too prophetic. For the fantastic idea of the federation of a whole continent, the North seeks to save the Union at the price of the destruc tion of the Constitution, and to preserve a republic by the expedients of a despotism. The position of the South is perfectly inexpugnable. It is the will and interest of eleven distinct Governments, Legislatures, and peoples, each hav ing its own laws and constitution, to secede from the rest, and to form a separate confederacy. Can any friend of Hun gary, of Poland, of Italy, deny their right ? They have never parted, as Scotland and Ireland have, with their sepa - rate legislative and administrative functions; they have always been separate Governments, and asserted State rights. They were never conquered, or merged by dynastic inheritance under one common reigning Sovereign. Pure popular vote made the treaty of Federation. The same power can recal it. But even if there were no such power, self government inheres in the very genius of republicanism. Parma and Modena disclaimed their dukes—why are eleven States to be denied a right springing up in the very economy of political society—why are they traitors and rebels because they prefer Jeff. Davis to Aby Lincoln ? Has not the time arrived when we must " conquer a peace ?" Four millions of our people directly draw their very life from the produce of the South—indirectly, the want of cotton effects two millions more of us. An awful future is before us if we are bereft of the staple of America before we can supply the deficit elsewhere. Are we bound, are we entitled, to stand by and see half the nation ruined and starving because the North chooses to order us not to deal—not, mark, with itself, but with the South, with other States ready and willing to serve us ? The North has actually, by the votes of only half the representatives of the original Union, virtually excluded our goods from its markets;and now cuts off the exports of the South from our manufacturers. On what principle of politiCal ethics aro we bound to submit to this double in jury ? Why are we " grossly to gape on" while civiliza tion is outraged by the destruction of Southern ports,made by the Creator for the service of the whole human race ? In mercy to these suicidal madmen save them from them selves. Religion, reason, policy, right, cry out against the fratricides. To compel a reunion is to perpetuate slavery, and deteriorate the condition of the slave. To help Seces sion is to render emancipation certain, by making every Northerner an abolitionist and repealing the Fugitive Slave Law in the Free States. If ever the South can be brought back to the Union it can only be by suffering it to go peace ably out of it ; an unwilling and compulsory reunion would be forcing the Trojan horse full of treachery and antipathy into. the very citedel,to plot with every discontented faction, and conspire with every disaffected State, foi the overthrow of the conquerors. What is to become of the half million of Southern troops? What of the monster hordes of the North, or the fearful debt foreshadowed by Mr. Phillips ? Is there to be an army of occupation ? Where is the in dependence of the States—where of the Imperial Legisla ture, cooked up out of forced elections overawed by martial law, and corrupted by vast patronage of armies, navies,ord nance, civil service, the monopoly of the victors. What is the _object of the North ? Is it to realise the Munroe doctrine of universal dominion ? The more ex tended the Federation the weaker would be the Government ; besides the menace the policy holds out to England and other States. Is it to preserve power ? How can antipathy, disaffection,and revolution, suffused through every vein and artery of a distracted Republic, compass that ? If the South be conquered, how are four millions of slaves to be dealt with? How can it be held without an army of occupation, suppression of freedom of election, military law, and the destruction of the very genius of self-govern ment? The commonwealth is destroyed, - the constitution trampled under foot by the very measures resorted to as necessary to preserve them. " Oh, mother I " exclaimed Coriolanus, " you have saved Rome, but lost your son I " May we not say that should M'Clellan be triumphant, he has only saved the Union to lose the Republic I Seward, who eagerly asseverates it is not in a state of war, asserts the right to search neutral ships for political offenders; and men who claim sympathy for their cause as that of eman cipation, represent free states, some of which prohibit any person of colour from so much as setting foot upon their soil. It is right it should be known that a large party of the House of Commons will, whenever Parliament meets, in sist upon breaking the blockade and recognising the Confe derates. They refuse to sacrifice our revenue, our trade, the subsistence of many millions of our people, to the fine feelings of Abolitionism. They can prove that 600 Federal merchantmen hav9 mu the blockade unchallenged, and that it is only enforced agast us. They ask, of the two belligerents, which is the justice and which is the thief ? whether it is not as open to the South to call the Federal ists rebels as for the Federalists to declare their opponents traitcrs P—which half of the Union are we to recognise ? whether the South is not as much entitled to claim recog nition as the Republic as the North is seeing that of the thirteen States which made the original Federal compact six adhere to the party of Secession ? They say, if Mr. Lincoln is not at war with a Power de facto, what right has he, in the face of treaties, to keep us from the cotton of the United States, and at the very same time to pass a tariff expressly devised to shut out our goods from his markets ? It is a fact that, while our imports from the States have grown since 1854 from £29,000,000 to £44,000,000 their imports from us up to 1860 did not increase at all, and are now one-third less than they were then, or about £14,000,000. Is there any plea or necessity for this anti social destruction of harbours, which are the heritage of the human race from the Creator—any pretext of national ex tremity for the blockade of the raw material of the very clothing of the world ? Aro the blockaders in peril— threatened even ? On the contrary, is not their action wan tonly aggressive—is not the South purely defensive, asking only to be let alone ? Lyons is starving ; the producing classes of France suffering privation, Nottingham is de scending to pauperism. Lancashire and Lanarkshire, even Yorkshire, give solemn warning of coming calamity. The industry of America is devoted, all over the country, to mutual destruction, in place of prosperous production. Ships, richly freighted, burnt ; harbours ruined ; a million and a quarter of fellow-citizens flying at each other's throats, and instigating four millions of workers to cease producing and to assassinate their masters. Paper promises are substituted for money; a 3.1 enormous debt, daily in creasing, is pitcd-ttptin - thtt shethders of posterity; the bee 4. subjects are being thoroughly demoralised by camp` life, and national bankruptcy is gathering its mob thunder- S ffe ta ri t n es g, to destroy each other, and to th l e et w a o d r u ld el to be e thunder clouds.

This scandal to our race, to civilisation, to human reason, has outraged intelligence only too long ; and, with the uni versal assent of the public opinion of Europe against all Mr. Seward's threats, we believe . the great Powers will now agree to put an end to it.—Daspatch.

So anxious are the Admiralty to have her r ead y to proceed to sea that an order was yesterday received at Chatham Dock yard engineers, directing a n d lab 5 necessitated several of the hands being taken off the iron frigate Achilles , 50, unde r construction, as well as an additional number of men from the smithery. Both decks are now 150 rers additional o be shipwrights, smiths, placed on her, which swarming with workmen. The cupola and furnaces for preparing the molten iron and heating the red hot shot are being fixed qn board near the engines, which required some slight alterations to adapt them for use in connexion with the furnaces. At the rate in which th e wor k i s now proceeding, it is expected that the Defence will be ready to leave Chatham at the end of the present, or the commencement of next week. Her guns, shot, and shell are all on board. The Scourge, 6, paddle, Commander the Hon.W. G. Ward, arrived at Spithead from the Mediter ranean yesterday morning, having sailed from Gib raltar on the 18th inst. Previous to leaving Gib raltar the Scourge towed the Doris frigate clear of the bay, starting on her return voyage to Malta. At Gibraltar there were lying, w h en the Scourge left, her Majesty's ships Queen, Amphion, Scylla, and Firebrand. The naval invalids brought home in the ship were transferred to the Victory, and the Scourge received orders to proceed round to Wool wich to pay off, taking round with her the case of sculpture for the British Museum which she received on board in the harbour of Canea. She had steam up at sunset, and was expected to sail immediately afterwards. The Shannon, 50, verew, Capt. Wainwright, re. ceived orders yesterday to remove from Spithead to a berth at the mouth of Southampton Water. The Investigator, paddle steamer, Lieut.-Com mander B. L. Lefroy, which arrived at Spithead on Saturday from Woolwich, on her way to the Coast of Africa, yesterday went into Portsmouth harbour to fill up coal prior to resuming her voyage. The fine screw corvette Rattlesnake, 21, 400 horse power, fitting at Chatham, bent sails yesterday, and as all her guns and most of her sea stores are on board a few days will see her completed and ready either for the pennant or the first division of the steam reserve. The Rattlesnake differs from the Racoon, 21, and some ethers of the class of screw corvettes, in having the whole of her armament on her upper or spar deck, instead of her main deck_ She is also fitted with four catheads, in order that her anchors may be suspended further aft, to bring her down more at the stern. A number of addi tional dockyard labourers were placed on her yes terday to hasten forward her completion. She has shipped the whole of her shot and shell. The War Department transport Marlborough went alongside the Ordnance wharf at Chatham yesterday, and landed the remainder of the guns, shot, and shell from the paddlewheel steamer Ter rible, 21, Captain Glasse, C. 8., which is ordered to be paid off on the 4th February. _ The works in connection with the construction of the paddlewheel steamer Salamis, 835 tons, 250 horse power,' milding under the first shed at Chat ham, which were suspended a short time since on the threatened hostilities were America, were re sumed yesterday. A number of shipwrights have commenced planking this fine steamer, which is as long as many of our line-of-battle ships, although only intended to mount four Armstrong guns, She is diagonally constructed, and is built almost en tirely for speed, the Admiralty intending her for a despatch gun vessel. Large supplies of munitions of war continue to arrive at the Ordnance stores, Chatham, almost daily. Yesterday the War Department transport Thames completed landing upwards of 1,200 cases of the 100-pounder Armstrong segment shells, toge ther with a quantity of miscellaneous war stores, from the factory at Woolwich. The Baltic, Ord nance transport, also landed 10 of the large 100- pounder Armstrong guns, with sights, screws, car riages., &c., complete, and one 12-pounder Arm strong. The issue of the new 70-pounder Arm strongs has not yet been commenced at Chatham, that descrirtion of gun not being at present kept in store, though a larger supply will shortly be re ceived from Woolwich. The Lords of the Admiralty yesterday made the following promotions for special service :—Com mandgr David Spain to be Capt. for zealous and active service rendered by him in conveying to and disembarking troops in Canada ; Commander by him as senior officer renderedm il ton to be Capt. for zealous Richardand active c e s e e r y t i H e e a on the coasts of Newfoundland and Labrador, and afterwards at Halifax; Lieut.

The correspondent of the New York, Journal of Com merce gives a list of vessels which had run the SoUthern blockade and 'reached Cuba? The number at Havannah was 37 ; Matanzas, 6 ; and Cardenas, 5. The latest arrival at Havannah was the steamer Cuba, from New Orleans, with 700 bales of cotton. Respecting the Mexican expedition, we have the following advices : "On the 28th ult., after a most enthusiastic re ception by the Spanish residents here, principally the Catalans, his Excellency Gen. Prim, Conde de Reus, and Marquis de los Castillejos, sailed in the Don Francisco de Asis to take command of the ex pedition at Vera Cruz, accompanied by a part of the French contingent under Vice-Admiral Jurien de la Graviere, consisting of the Messina, with 500 Zouaves and 200 Marine Artillery; the Guerriere, with 300 marines ; L'Ardente, with 500 infantry ; L'Astree, with 500 infantry—making in all about 2,000 troops for disembarkation. The Aube, with 600 troops, and the Montezuma, with 228, have since sailed, making therefore 2,821 en route for Vera Cruz. The Berthollet, Lavoisier, Chaptal, Milan, and Marceau have also sailed. The English vessels Desperate, Georgina, Challenger, Plover, Nimble, and Spiteful have all been here. The last four sailed for Cape San Antonio, where they were to meet transports from Jamaica with 800 troops, and then proceed to Vera Cruz. The Pajero del Oceano ar rived on the 29th ult., bringing the first news from Vera Cruz. She left on the 25th and reported the Uraga expedition near the city with 12,000 men. Sir Charles Wyke, English Minister, arrived on the night of the 24th, having stopped some days at Orizaba, where there was intense feeling against the Spaniards. Daza Gercona of Mexico had been deposed, and Azcarate appointed in his stead. The Cortes closed on the 15th, after fully authorising the President to adopt all measures he might deem pru dent in regard to the ' Spanish Invasion.' Gen. Par radi had been named Minister of War. Gen. Gas sett, of the Spanish force, had established a custom house in Vera Cruz, and Uraga had established another, five leagues from the city. Benito Juarez issued a very temperate and dignified proclamation to the Mexicans, calling on all parties to give up their present quarrels and unite against the com mon enemy. All had been done to save Zuloaga, who had but a small band, and Miramon's party, to which since his departure but little more than the name is left. The proclamation was published here in the Diario de la Marina of the Ist inst, On the sth arrived from Vera Cruz, in five days, the steamer La Cabana, with little news of interest. No sortie had been made by the Spaniards. Tampico, occupied and well defended by the Mexicans, would hold out a long while. Gen. Uraga has all the passes from Vera Cruz well defended, and has under his immediate command 20,000 troops, well armed. Ho has received 22 deserters from the Spanish forces, and on the arrival of my informant in the city he found 18 more had deserted, and more `,.were ex pected to desert as opportunity offered. Forced con scripts, they are never contented. Here all is quiet Miramon, who arrived in Matanzas on the 31st ult., in the steamer Noc Daqui from your city, is still here with his three aids. The attempt to get up an exhibition of agriculture, industry, and fine arts has failed. The first portion of the Sancti Espiritu Railroad was opened on the 29th ult. On the 28th ult. the English steamer Labuan sailed under very suspicious circumstances for Meta mores. On December 31 the new Avuntamiento or City Council, was sworn in, and went immedi ately to felicitate the Captain-General on the taking of Vera Cruz. The French Division for Vera Cruz got off nicely on the 2d inst. ; also General Prim, who began to be weary of indolence and entertain ments. His lady and her family remain here. The British division has also been spoken at sea, getting near to their destination. The news from Mexico is vague, and it is supposed there will be some fightiug done as soon as General Prim arrives down. A French transport with 600 Zouaves and some 300 mules (purchased here) have left this morning for Vera Cruz. The expedition, and the secret purpose of acquisition, is very popular here, and it will seek to overcome opposition by an apparently:unbiassed vote of the people." The following is the text of President Juarez's Proclamation : " Mexicans,—The warnings of the approaching war which was preparing in Earope against us have begun, unfortunately, to be realised. Spanish forces have invaded our territory, our national dignity is insulted, and, perhaps, our independence in danger. Under such difficult circumstances the Government of the republic believes that it complies with one of its principal duties by placing within your reach the cardinal idea which shall be the basis of its policy in the present state of affairs. The interest of all is concerned, and if we all are bound, as good sons of Mexico, to contribute our intelli gence, our fortune, and our blood towards the sal vati3n of the republic, all claim an equal right to be informed of the conduct and proceedings of the Government. " On the 14th of the present month the Governor of the State of Vera Cruz received an intimation from the commander of the Spanish naval forces to evacuate that city and the fortress of I.llloa, which that commander announces his determina tion to hold as a security until the Government of the Queen of Spain shall be satisfied that the Spanish nation shall be treated in future with the consideration which is due, and that the com pacts between both Governments shall be religiously observed. The Spanish officer. also declares that the occupation of the city and castle will serve as a guarantee for the claims which France and Great Britain may have against the Mexican Government. " The grounds for this aggression are incorrect— namely, insults offered to her Catholic Majesty by the Government of the republic, and the blind obstinacy with which the Government of Mexico has constantly refused to listen to the just claims of Spain. "The consistent behaviour of the Mexican Go vernment does not permit the impartial eyes of jus tice to assent to such imputation. Since the treaty 183 G the Spanish Government has always been con sidered as a friendly Power, and bound to Mexico by special ties, without the expulsion of the Spanish Ambassador being used as a well-founded objection to that truth, since the peculiar circumstances of that case are well known, and no less well known is the disposition which the Government had and still entertains, to give the most reasonable and suitable explanation in regard to that affair, which may be reduced to a few wordii—the sity of removing from the national territory a foreign functionary who decidedly came to favour the chief fosterers of a rebellion against the lawful authorities of the republic. The Government then used a right which all nations possess and exercise, and which Spain has repeatedly put in practice, but declaring at the same time that that determina tion in no wise affected the good relations which were then existing, and which the Government desired to preserve, with the Spanish nation. "Neither can the violence committed against Spanish subjects be offered in refutation of the in tention to maintain the best harmony with the Go vernment, because those violences have been not only the inevitable consequences of the social revolution which the nation commenced and prosecuted in order to extirpate abuses which had been the per petual cause of its misfortunes, but consequences which both foreigners and natives have suffered without any distinction of their respective nation alties. And if a greater share of those misfor tunes has fallen upon Spanish subjects, has it not arisen from the fact that the num ber of those residents is greater than that of those of any other nationality ? Could not this have atisen from the fact that the Spaniards, more than any other foreigners, have taken and still take 'Art- in our dissensions, in which many of them have shown a ferocious and sanguinary character ? 10` "Nevertheless, the different Adminisiiations which have succeeded each other have always listened 144111Le91 thp_ Legation, §katkish and have favouraiffiiicirreanose it to be supported by some principle of justice. " Long before the recognition of our indepen dence the Mexican Congress nationalised the debt contracted by the Spanish Government, although a large part of it had been employed in combating that very independence, and a no less considerable share had been intended for European obligations of the Spanish monarch. " Subsequently the character of agreement was given to the settlement of the Spanish claims ; but, it coming to light afterwards that some of the Spanish subjects interested in them, abusing the good intentions of the Government of the Republic, had introduced a great number of credits which evidently had not the qualities required by the agreement, the Mexican Government has earnestly endeavoured to correct these operations by reducing them within just and equitable bounds. " For the rest, the Government has been and still is disposed to satisfy all just claims, as far as the national resources will permit—a fact well known to the Power which now invades us. All nations, and more especially Spain, have passed through times of penury and want, and almost all have had creditors who have waitedfor better times in which to secure themselves. From Mexico alone are sac rifices beyond her strength required. " If the Spanish nation cloak other designs un der the financial question, and with the pretext of groundless insults, her intentions shall soon be known. But the Government, which must prepare the country for any event, proclaims, as the basis of its policy, that it does not declare war, but will repel force by force as far as its means will permit; that it is disposed to satisfy the claims against it founded on equity and justice, but without accept ing conditions which cannot be admitted without offending the dignity of the nation or compromising its independence. " Mexicans, if such upright intentions be despised —if it be intended to humiliate Mexico, to dismem ber her territory, to interfere in her internal policy and government, or perhaps extinguish her nation ality, I appeal to your patriotism, and urge you that, laying aside the hatreds and enmities to which the diversity of our opinions has given rise, and sacrificing your properties and your blood, you rally united around the Government and in defence of a cause the greatest and most sacred among men— the defence of our country. " Exaggerated and sinister reports from the enemies of Mexico have presented us before the world as uncivilised and degraded. " Let us defend ourselves in the war to which we are provoked, observing strictly the laws and usages established for the sake of humanity. Let tke de fenceless enemy live in peace and security under the protection of our laws. Then shall we repel the calumnies of our enemies, and prove ourselves worthy of the liberty and independence bequeathed us by our fathers. " BENITO JITAREZ. " Mexico, Dec. 11, 1861." LA Tr , AMENDMEN2 SOCIETY. The fifth general meeting of the members of this society was held last evening at the society's rooms, in Waterloo- place, R. P. Collier, Esq., M.P., in the chair, for the purpose of hearing a paper read by Mr. G. Hastings, on " The Marriage Laws of the United Kingdom." The paper commenced by declaring the desirability of assimilating the marriage laws of the United Kingdom, which at present widely differed. There were three essential conditions to a good marriage law—firstly, publicity ; secondly, certainty ; and thirdly, an authentic record. The paper then re viewed the marriage laws in England from the Anglo-Saxon period down to the present time, they being now, it was said, in a tolerably satisfactory state. The state of Irish law was not so satisfac tory, inasmuch as by the act of Geo. 11, any mar riage performed by a Roman Catholic priest, where the parties were not both Roman Catholics, was considered illegal. Lord Campbell last session had introduced a bill which, when it became law, would remedy this evil. In other respects the law in England and Ireland was similar. It was in Scot land that the greatest dissimilarity existed in the marriage law, and which required, in the interests of morality, immediate alteration. The law of Scotland recognised three systems of . marriage, the first a regular marriage before wltn . esse s in a parish church, the other t wo irregular, v i z., by a verbal contract between the man and woman, in the presence of a witness , _ and the marriage by repute o r where a man cohabited with a woman, and chose to say in public she was his wife. The paper contended this was a wrong upon the woman, in stancing the Dalrymple and Mountgarret cases as examples. It was the source of unchastity amongst women, and the cause of. the frightful immorality which prevailed to so great an extent among the lower orders of women in Scotland. The paper contended that this immorality could only bo checked, and a proper protection given to the women of Scotland, by at once assimilating the marriage law in that country to the other parts of the kingdom. A long and interesting discussion ensued, in which Messrs. Wingfield, Flood, Rochfort Clarke, E, Web ster, James Haywood, and the Chairman took part —Messrs. Clarke and Webster defending the Scotch law, and contending that immorality existed to as great an extent in England as in Scotland. Mr. HASTINGS replied, contending that t t l he n r d e were more illegitimate children born in STatiaon, than in England in proportion to the which he considered a sign of greater imPm°Po. A vote of thanks was given to Mr. Hastings for rality_. his paper, which was ordered to be printed, and the meeting concluded.

The mother or the nurse can always eradicate disease on its first appearance in their charges, by means of these preparations. The Ointment is particularly well suited by its soothing, cool ing, and healing qualities, and by its easy application, to the little ailments of childhood. It penetrates from the surface internally, and thus places in the hands of an attentive nurse an efficient means for extinguishing dis orders of the throat, chest, or belly, without alarming or aanoying the child with internal medicine. Gentlemen Senators, Gentlemen Deputies, The year which has just passed away has,notwith standing certain misgivings, seen peace consoli dated. All the rumours designedly propagated, re specting imaginary pretensions, have disappeared of themselves before the simple reality of facts. My relations with foreign powers give ins the most entire satisfaction, and the visits of several sovereigns have contributed again to draw closer our bonds of friendship. The King of Prussia, in coming to France, has been able to judge for himself of our desire to unite ourselves still more to a Go vernment and a people who march on with a calm and firm step towards progress. I have recognised the Kingdom of Italy with the firm intention of contributing by sympathetic and disinterested counsels to conciliate two causes the antagonism of which every where troubles men's mind and consciences. The civil war which desolates America has come to compromise gravely our commercial interests. However, as long as the rights of neutrals shall be respected, we must confine ourselves to wishes that these dissensions may speedily cease. Our establishment in Cochin China has been consolidated by the valour of our soldiers and sailors. The Spaniards associated in our enter prize will find, I trust, in those countries, the reward of their courageous assistance. The Anna mites feebly resist our dominions; and we should not be in conflict with anyone, if in Mexico the otputtlit o ie". an ., onsoru pelaus Geevernment . had not obliged use 'unite with 'SP - alit - - England to protect our compatriots, and repress attempts against humanity and the law of nations. Nothing can arise out of this conflict of a nation to diminish confidence in the future. Free from exterior pro-occupations I have more specially directed my attention to the state of our finances. A candid exposition has made you acquainted with their real condition. I shall only say a few words on this subject. The public has been startled at the amount of 963,000,000 f. which the floating debt has reached ; but this debt, its further progress being arrested, has in it nothing to alarm, for it had already reached this amount before 1848, It a time when the revenues of France were far from approaching to what they are now. Besides, if we subtract from this amount, first, the 652,000,000 f., which were • incurred at an epoch anterior to the Empire ; then the 78,000,000 f. repaid to the landholders at the period of the con version ; and finally, the 233,000,000 f. of uncovered outlay in the last two financial statements, caused by distant expeditions, and which it would have been possible to cover by a loan, it will be seen that since the establishment of the Empire—thanks, it is true, to the excessive consolidations effected — the deficits have not increased in proportion to the necessities which it was imperative to provide for, and the advantages obtained during the last ten years. In truth, gentlemen, it would be unjust to for get the increase of expenditure demanded by pay ment of the annual interest of debts contracted for two wars which have not been without glory. The 622 millions applied by the Treasury to the great works of public utility, independently of the three milliards devoted by the companies to the completion of 6,553 kilometres of railway, the exe cution of the Telegraphic Act, the ameliora tion of the condition of nearly all the servants of the State, the augmentation of the well being of the soldier, the effective of the army placed in proportion with that which the dignity of France requires in the time of peace ; the transformation of the fleet and of all our material of artillery; the renewing and sustaining of our religious edifices and of our public monuments. This expenditure has given to all useful works over the surface of the Empire a fruitful impulse. Have we _not seen_ our cities transform them selves, the country districts become - ehriched by the progress of agriculture, and the com merce with foreign nations increase from • 2,600,000,000 f. to 5,800,000,000 f. ? Finally, by this increase of the public prosperity alone, the revenues of the State have augmented by many hundreds of millions. This enumeration shows us in their full extent the financial resources of France; and nevertheless, whatever may have been the origin of the deficits, and however legitimate the expenditure, it was pru dent not to increase them. With this object I have proposed to the Senate a radical measure, which confers on the Legislative Body a greater facility of control, and associates it more and more with my policy. But this measure was not, as anyone may easily convince himself, an expedient to alleviate my responsibility. It was a spontaneous and earnest reform, calcu lated to compel us to economy. In renouncing the right of opening supplementary and extraordinary credits in the interval between the sessions, it was at the same time essential to retain the power of providing far unforeseen necessity. The system of transfers (les virenzents) furnishes the means, and it has the advantage of restricting this faculty to wants that are really urgent and in dispensable. The severe application of this new system will enable us to establish our financial regime upon un shakeable bases. I reckon on your patriotism and intelligence to second any efforts by an earnest as sistance. The budget will be laid before you imme diately on the opening of the session. It is not without regret that I have decided to propose to you the re-arrangement (remaniement) of several taxes, but from the increase of our revenue, the aggravation of those taxes, I am convinced, will be only temporary. You will be pleased to take up first the projects de loi relative to the conversion of tho Four-and-a-Half per Cent. Rentes—a measure the object of which is, in equitably conciliating the interests of the Treasury and those of its creditors, to prepare the unification of the debt. I have explained to you, gentlemen, frankly the state of things. You are aware that upon every occasion when a - reform of a useful character presented itself, I have resolutely taken the initiative of its introduction. At the same time, I will maintain not the less intact the fundamental bases of the Constitution, which has already represented to the nation ten years of lor3er and prosperity, bse e t l y l s at ro aware, teehdei m their hp i soe spiritit to on mostts o e few party; le e an i u r d p a u h l rest in t - The lot of all who are in c t m p e l o ai n vi sm t i i n c o o r t n: eo s a ru s ps m: eiavtsmeoudinewdee ac s t h e but u ruler possesses the confidence of the nation and neglects nothing to deserve it. This sentiment, which manifests itself in all circumstances, is my most pre cious recompense, and forms my greatest strength. Should unforeseen events, such as the dearness of provisions and the falling off of employment, cause the people to suffer want, the people ought not in justice to hold me responsible for their suf fering, when they know that all my thoughts, all my actions, tend without cessation to ameliorate their lot and to increase the prosperity of France. Let us not form any illusions as to what remains for us to accomplish, but at the same time let us felicitate ourselves upon having traversed 10 years in the midst of the calm of contented populations, and of the union of the great bodies of the State. Let us persevere in our task with place ourselves with ecrtfidence th . e . han . s o f Providence, n us visible signs Providence, who has always give - energy,d and of His protection. - - A PO THECARIES'-HALL.- - Th e following gentle men passed their examination in the science and practi ce o f medicine, and received certif ic ates to practise, on Thursday, the 23d of January, 1852 :—Walter Tyrrell, St. Thomas's Hospital ; Thomas S.
