Just published, price Is., post free, 13 stamps, SELF-PRESERVATION : A Medical Treatise on NERVOUS DEBILITY and FUNCTIONAL WEAKNESS, more particularly in reference to the INFIR MITIES and DISORDERS of the GENERATIVE SYSTEM; tracing the Origin of these distressing afflictions to causes 'which vitiate the very fountains of Life and prematurely de stroy the vigour of Manhood. With Practical Observations on the Cure of these Diseases, and on the extraordinary re storative power of LOCAL GALVANISM in Spermatorrlicea, Impotence, and Sterility, in which cases it is applied without pain or danger, and is frequently successful without the aid of medicine. BY SAMUEL LA'MERT, M.D., 37, BEDFORD-SQUARE, LONDON, Registered Licentiate of the London Society of Apothecaries, Doctor of Medicine of the University of Erlangen, Honorary Member of the London Hospital Medical Society. &c. An erroneous impression exists that public announcements on these disorders emanate only from unqualified persons, but as the new Medical Act provides that none but registered practitioners shall assume any medical title, those that are legally qualified can readily be distinguished —a point of great importance in cases where secrecy, confidence, and skill are equally requisite. In the new edition of ' Self-Preservation,' facts of para mount utility are brought together—facts appealing to the prudence of all who arc suffering from affections which in volve the enfeeblement and ultimate loss of those powers without which man forfeits the dignity of nature, and sinks to the most pitiable depths of physical and moral degradation. In cases where the vital. essences have been weakened by the influences of tropical climates, by pernicious habits, indiscri . rainate excesses, improper diet, 'hardship, or by iniudicious treatment, the means of cure adopted by the author, in con junction with the application of Local Galvanism, have gene rally been found successful, even in cases where recovery had been pronounced impossible.

" The aim of the author is to present a common-sense view of the Causes, Nature, Consequences, and Treatment of this Disease, as also to free these questions from the Professional Fallacies, the Popular Delusions, and the exaggerations of Quackery by which they have hitherto been surrounded, to the destruction of the health and happiness of thousands.

STAMPED, SD, and at one *the chair was taken by Mr. James Gabriel, who said he was not only an advo cate for the people's Reform Bill, but he also considered that there should be *a great change made in the present _condition of the working classes. (Hear, hear.) In order to carry out that great object they must not put any trust in the bill proposed by the Government, but con tinue to agitate night and day until they got John Bright's Bill, as that was the only one that would meet the demands of the people. He would ask them openly, which bill they would have, that of the Government or John Bright's ? (Cries of " The Government one's no use; let us have John Bright's.") This was received with cheering. The chairman concluded by saying, that from the unmistakable marks of approbation he had heard he was satisfied that instead of being dull of comprehension they had some very bright ideas. .' (Laughter.) Several other gentlemen having addressed the meeting, the proceedings terminated, but not be fore one gentleman intimated that lord Derby had better keep his Bill as a curiosity, for the people did not mean to have At another meeting, which took place nearer the Marble -arch, presided over . by Mr. J. Evans, whq described himself as a purveyor of milk, some very strong langUage was used. The chairman said that he had a two-fold object in appearing before them that day, one was to oppose the bill brought in by Lord Derby, and the other to raise his voice against the greatest tyrant in Europe, and he was sorry to say that there seemed no doubt that Lord Derby was in that tyrant's confidence. He need not mention the name of the oppressor of the liber ties of his country, for they all knew it. (Cries of "Of course we do. Louis Napoleoni He would recommend them, if the Government Bill was pressed upon them, to refer to 'a recent number of Punch, in which they would see represented her Majesty's store-room. There it was recommended that John Bull should keep his powder dry, and he asked them to do " ditto." (Cheers.) This meeting was the stormiest of the whole, and at which the strongest language was used. There was no interference with any . of the meet ings, hardly a police-constable being visible. Had any breach of the peace, however, taken place, a large number of constables stationed in the vicinity would within a few minutes have been upon the spot. OPINION MOVES ON, AND QUAKERS MOVE OFF. And so the " Society of Friends" is gradually dying out. , Year by year the May Meetings show a scantier attendance—the provincial meeting houses display progressively a more " beggarly account of empty boxes." The broad brim and the stiff collar are less seen in our streets ; the precise bonnets, the snow-white linen, the spotless lawn of the demure beauty, that piques the curiosity by the glimpse of the peach-bloom of the cheek, half revealed half-hidden by the bonnet severe in its jealous simplicity—all these are seldomer found, and become daily more scarce. The nether garments innovate on the old costume; shoes and small clothes giving way to boots and pantaloons. The brim becomes less broad—more turned up. At last the loose fish turn down the collar when they get well out of their town of residence, and drop the " thee" and "thou." It is a rule that the society shall choose who shall marry whom—especially that matrimony shall be confined to inmates of the household of faith. But— Can love be controlled by advice ? Will Cupid our mothers obey ? Though my heart were as frozen as ice, At his suit 'twould have melted away ! The bosom, fairer and more spotless than the cam bric that conceals it, yet heaves responsive to the affections from whose power great Nature grants no exemption of creed or clime ; and the " elective affinities' assert their supreMacy over the very mandates of religious faith. Quakers and Qua keresses have married out of the Society of Friends —communion with the outer world breaks down the distinctive habits of the sect—and the uniform of the spiritual militants disappears from the battle of life. This movement among such a body is a startling sign of the times. It shows the watermark on the sand of the flow of that tide of progressive thought that— Like the Pontic sea, Ne'er knows retiring ebb, but keeps due on To the Propontic, and the Hellespont. Quakerism has survived everything—social perse cution, proscription, the ridicule of the profane, the abuse of the godly, the martyrdom of Church-rate seizures, the fines of the militia, the oddities of dress, speech, and faith in declining to take an oath —it has maintained all these, borne with and for them, suffered spoiling of goods, denial of official preferment, the emoluments of the Church and bar, the ambitions of political life ; but it cannot bear up against the progress of thought, the expansion, the revolution of opinion, the invasion of free thinking and speaking., the conscientiousness of in dependent action. Why say "thee " and " thou," when other people say " you ? " Why wear a hat and coat of one shape, when everybody else adopts another fashion ? Why marry a Quakeress only ? Are there no good women that wear cherry-eoloured ribbons, and a low dress ? Why is this many-coloured world of God's to be made a uniform drab of the Society of Friends ? These questions suggest their corresponding doubts—they , indicate the growing scepticism of the rising gene ration of the faithful ; the answer is not very ready, and so the sibboleth of the sect is gradually dis solving into the confused Babel of human univer sality. It is true the members still call themselves a religious sect, they maintain their profession in essentialibus, they meet and are moved by the Spirit, protest against war, eschew priests and creeds, and vain speech and action. But how long will naked first principles hold out against the in novations which have sapped the outworks of the denomination ? Tenets will fall away like old Lear's retinue, until, beginning with questioning the necessity f the livery, malcontents will find out that there is no great need of the servant who wore them. _ We own to an unfeigned regret at the change. We like the real English picturesqueness of Qua. kerdom. It is redolent of the soil—nowhere else but in the country of Hampden could it rise and be. The grotesqueness of peace and principle, the broad brim and the plain speech, are associated with our whole lives as a part, somehow, of Eng land itself. The tranquil mildness, the sincere plainness, the strict word, the guarded speech, the financial scrupulosity, the quiet industry, the clean liness and order, sobriety, the taste for the simpli cities of nature, the elegancies not of man but of God, and his plastic providence, the open, healthy, well principled expression, the chaste refine ment, even of the humblest—society cannot afford to part with these; we confess our own reluctance to let them go. Even to these mere husks and shells of the inner soul, these integuments and uniforms of the spirit and principle of the sect, this country is indebted for an ideal that has gifted it with the best and most regenerative influe nces. But with these we fear that something far more precious is in peril. To us Quakerdom has all the prophetic foresight of inspiration. Its founders seem as if they had propounded an abs olute revelation. Two hundred years ago the Quaker Gospel promulgated, became martyrs to the proclamation of principles which the rest of society are onl y beginning now to discover and acknowledge as the great canons of social and civil poli t y . The whole nation has come round practically t o the principles which the So ciety of Friends have asserted for a brace of centu ries. Fox, Penn, Barclay—why these men seeme d to speak almost with the spirit of divination. When Presbyterians , Independents, Episcopalian s were a ll yelping their solos that no leather w as lik e th e i r l ea ther, that they were Sir Oracle—" And when they ope'd their mouth let n o d og b ar k"—th a t every doctrine but theirs respectively should be in terdicted—that anything else was heresy, and that' heresy should be punished by the civil magistrate —that liberty of opinio n was i n t o l era bl e , ad that it was the opinion of the State, or of the sect that was strongest, to prohibit and abolish the developm en t or promulgation of any other —the Quakers alone had the sagacity to assert that a man's religion was his own affair alone—that priestcraft was an imposture--eeclesi astical authority an usurpation of individual liberty --that a Church was merely a machine for extorting money and conformity—that a hired prophet was an anomaly—that a sterreotyped creed produced a decay of religion and earnest thought, and that there was no authority entitled to stand between the human soul and the Holy Spirit. Their doctrine of the moving of the Spirit at once emancipates the conscience from all dictation, even from that .of Bibleism and authoritative interpretat ions of Sp , ture, reducing Scripture merely to o ne among other cri media whereby the Creator works upon the human soul, and ignoring every interpretation except that which is supplied by the inward light which the , Spirit sends to each man in the m easure of his gifts.

A public dinner was given to Mr. J. A. Turner, M.P., on Friday evening, in the Free Trade Hall, as an acknowledgment of his political services, and as a proof of unchanged principles on the part of his Manchester supporters. About 1,100 gentlemen sat down in the body of the hell, and the galleries were occupied by about 500 others, each of whom was provided with refreshments in small wicker work baskets. The proceedings of the evening were varied by the performances of the glee singers and a quadrille band, and the grace was chanted, with an accompaniment on the organ. Mr. Oliver Heywood presided, in the absence of Mr. Alderman Neild ; and among those on the platform besides Mr. Turner were Mr. W. N. Massey, M.P., Mr. W. Entwisle, Mr. W. R. Wood, Mr. T. Eairbairn, Mr. W. Fairbairn, Mr. R. Barnes, Mr. Heugh, Mr. M. Ross, and Mr. W. R. Callen der, jun. After the toasts of " The Queen," " The Prince Consort and Royal Family," and " The Army and Navy," letters were read from many gentlemen who were unable to attend, including Mr. Mark Philips, Mr. W. Brown, M.P., Mr. J. Cheetham, M.P., Mr. Cardwell, M.P., Mr. Cardwell, M.P., Mr. J. Walter, M.P., Lo r d Hartington, M.P., Mr. C. P. Grenfell, M.P., Colonel Patten, M.P., Mr. Wickham, M.P. Mr. M. T. Baines, M.P., Mr. R. A. Cross, M.P., Mr. W. Garnett, M.P., Mr. Beecroft, M.P., and M r . R. H. G reg . M r . Akroyd, M.P., had promised to attend, but was detained in London by a Parliamentary engagement. Mr. Bazley, M.P., the colleague of Mr. Turner in the representation of Manchester, had been, like the other guests, asked to attend if he could agree with the proposed resolutions, and in reply expressed his great personal respect for Mr. Turner, at the same time regretting that he could not, " con. sistently" with his (Mr. Bazley's) position, on the present occasion be their guest. The reading of these words was received with laughter and groans. The .CHAIRMAN referred to the last general elec tion, vindicating the conduct of the electors of Manchester on that occasion in removing two of their representatives who had ceased to give a fair expression of the opinions of their constituency. (Cheers.) When he called to mind the events that had passed and the words that had been uttered since that time, when he looked at the friends around him and those who filled this hall, he was impelled to the conclusion that Manchester had then acted, not from an excited impulse, but in a mood of calmness and sobriety. (Hear, hear.) It was not to speak of the past, however, that they were now assembled. He believed it was in the great speech at Bradford that it had been said no person could have the reform question at heart who did not accept the proposal of the bill then sub mitted. Now he (Mr. Heywood) submitted that they (the meeting) were in earnest, and that there was no truer, friend to progress than Mr. Turner. (Cheers.) Mr. R. Barnes proposed " The memory of Sir John Potter," was which drunk in silence, followed by a dirge on the organ. Mr. W. ENTWISLE presented to Mr. Turner an address from his local supporters, expressing their high sense of the ability, integrity, independence, and assiduity with which he had represented a community so extensive that it could not be expected he should coincide with the political opinions of every section, while they were all agreed in secur ing his return and thanking him for his services. Mr. Entwisle maintained that Manchester had re flected honour on,itself at the last general election, when the gentlemen then elected were returned by that power of the majority which was so favour ably regarded by their opponents. He commented severely on Mr. Bright's attack on one branch of the Legislature, in the "notorious speech" at Bir mingham. On the question of reform he could not regard the Government bill as a permanent settle ment. (Cheers) But, on the other hand ? the effect of Mr. Bright's bill would be that we should no longer have a fair representation of all classes. (Hear, hear.) Mr. Turner's health was then drunk, with three times three cheers. Mr. TURNER, M.P., was received with enthusias tic cheering, which was continued for some time. After thanking his friends for their flattering testi monial, he reminded them of the principles which he had asserted on his election, and appealed to them to say whether he had carried them ou t (Cheers.) He believed it was necessary to maintain our national defences, and that the Government had only to explain the need of additional grants in order to obtain them, because the country was convinced that the true economy was to keep our selves always in such a state that nobody either dare or had the power to attack us. (Great cheering.) On the question of reform, he repu diated on the one hand the idea of " finality," and' on the other hand the notion that the well- skilled and the intelligent were no more en titled to political privileges than the ignorant and the debased. (Hear, hear.) He had four or five very decided objections to the Government Re form Bill. (Hear, hear.) He thought it monstrous that men residing within a borough having in it a bona fide freehold property, and having probably another qualification to vote for the borough, should not be allowed also to exercise a voice in the county. (Hear, hear.) His next objection was that freeholders in a borough, wherever residing, might swamp by their votes those of the resident electors in the smaller boroughs. A club in London might buy a property in some snug borough—take Arun • del for example, as allusion had recently been made to that borough—(laughter)—and by dividing it create 50 votes, and the voting papers sent down from London might turn the election in a consti tuency numbering from 300 to 400. (Hear, hear.) Thus, the election in such places might be deter mined by men knowing nothing of the interests of the borough. (Cheers.) Another objection to the bill was that it did not go far enough in disfran chising. (Hear, hear.) He was by no means in favour of a sweeping disfranchisement of all the minor places, and giving the seats to the large cities only on account of their wealth and popula tion. (Hear, hear.) Numbers alone must not be considered decisive on the question of the number of members to be sent to Parliament. Various interests must be represented, or we should have in the House of Commons a body most unmanage able, working detrimentally to the interests of the working classes, who would not be so well repre sented by a number of men sent in all of one class, and perhaps much less able to give a valid opinion on 'the general interests of the State than were others who now are in the House of Commons. (Hear, hear.) Still, there were a great many boroughs now returning two mem bers, which might be deprived of one, and the seats thus gained might be distributed among the influential and populous districts which had risen into importance since the Reform Act. (Hear, hear.) Again, the Government Bill did not make sufficient provision for the working men. He believed the best class of the labouring population would give as honest votes as the class immediately above them, and he should rejoice to see them not only voting, but having men of their own class in Parliament, provided they were only there in their fair proportion. (No, no !) He believed the Go vernment Bill must be very much modfied if it was to make such a settlement as had better be made of the question of reform—one that would last for another 30 years. (A Voice—" We want no re form.") He thought a more decided change might be made, but without going the length of a bill that had been much discussed, and which tended to hand over the power of the State to the control of those who, without property of their own, would, by their numbers, rule all the property of others. (Loud cheers.) He quite approved of the working classes having an audible voice in the national councils, but he could not consent that they should have an overwhelming power to enable them to adopt a course which would probably lead to the ruin of the cOmitfy, (Hear,) In answer to loud cries of" Theballot" (troth the gallery), Mr. Turner said he had twice voted in favour of the ballot. (Cheers and counter cries of "No ballot.") He should never use theballot himself, and wished that every man was independent enough to give his vote audibly, but there was a great cry for it. (".N° ballot !") He could not deny it to those who said the want of the ballot deprived them of the power of voting, though he considered thepower exercised in an objectionable manner. (Hear, hear.) After some concluding obstriUtions Mr, urner resumed his seat amid loud cheering. The meeting was then addressed by Mr. T. pair bairn, Mr. M. Ross, and Mr. Heugh in support of the following sentiments : . i( A foreign 'POEM sooting td preserve peace, and to I abstain from interventio n in the internal affairs of other nations; but declaring the determination and maintaining the power necessary to sustain in all cases our national honour, and protect in al l seas and countries our national commerce." ci A h ome policy, seeking to im rove the administration p of existing laws and institutions ; to remove all unnecessary restrictions on trade and commerce ; to extend education, and by such means, under the blessing of God, to encourage the industry, increase the intelligence, and promote the social well-being of the great body of the people. ' _ 0 ,. ,44 C ons tit A ti o nal Reform, carrying out the principles I the Act of 1832, in accordance with the advanced intelli gence of the country, and the increased wealth and popula tion of many districts—a Reform which shall seek to re present all classes and interests of the community, but which shall not place in the hands of any one class, as would be the result of the measure proposed by Mr. Bright, a preponderating influence in the election of the House of Commons." Mr. W. N. MASSEY, M.P., rose amid loud ap plause. After paying .a tribute of respect to Mr. Turner, he declared his entire concurrence in the three preceding sentiments. With regard to our foreign policy, he believed we were stedfastly pur posing to abstain from the impending conflict in Europe. As we had founded our greatness upon freedom we must extend a moral support to the nations struggling with despotism, but we should not be their best friends if we sought to aid them by a material support. Nations worthy of free dom had always acquired it for • themselves, and that freedom which was given on the point of a foreign bayonet lost half its value, and all security for its permanence. With reference to the Reform question, he could not say that the cry for Reform had been a loud one, nor had it originated with the people. It originated in Parliament and with pub lic men, whom it behoved to settle in a satisfactory manner the agitation which they . had created. He protested against the policy of giving instalments of Reform, because the constitution was a thing too grave and sacred to be made the subject of canvass and discussion from year to year. If it required re vision in any of its essential parts, the breaches made by time or neglect should be honestly and courage ously looked at, and the remedy applied vigorously and promptly. Even the advocates for the most extensive Reform admitted that the present consti tution afforded the most ample scope for free action that any country ever possessed. But time had unquestionably produced great defects in the Re. form Act of 1832. It was now proposed to remedy those defects on the principles of 1832, which were the disfranchisement of all small boroughs that had not sufficient numbers to exercise the franchise independently, and the extension of the elective franchise to all competent persons. It was the most anxious wish of that portion of the Liberal party with which he was most conversant that Lord Derby should propose such a scheme as they would be able generally'to support, and he (Mr. Massey), as a Liberal, required any re-con struction of our representation to be founded on the two great principles he had mentioned. In the bill now introduced by the Government he found almost a total disregard to those principles. The disfranchisement of small boroughs was almost entirely passed over. The enfranchisement of per sons was recognised only in an indirect and oblique manner. Could any man say that the condition of the working classes was now the same as it was 30 years ago? (No, no.) Then, on what principle of justice should their claim to a share in the represen tation be entirely ignored ? (Cheers.) He had heard some things to-night with which, of course, he did not agree. He had heard much with which he cordially agreed, but he had heard some senti ments which appeared rather too faint expositions of what he should call the policy of the liberal party. He, for one, could be no party to a Reform Bill which did not recognise to a just extent the claims of the working classes. He thought it a monstrous thing, and wholly indefensible, to say that a borough like Leamington, with 170 voters, and 7,000 inhabitants, should be left with two members, while Salford, with nearly 100,000 in habitants, and between 4,000 and 5,000 electors, and an amount of wealth sufficient to buy up 100 of those little places, should only have one. (During this portion of his speech Mr. Massey was subjected to great interruption by the noisy conduct of the body of the meeting.) He saw they were impatient to retire, but he could not stand there without declaring plainly what was his idea of a satisfactory Reform Bill. He wanted nothing immoderate or unreasonable ; but, whatever they did, he entreated them to be parties to no measure which would " hang up" this question. They knew perfctly well that this bill of Lord Derby's could not settle the question. Then let them tell Lord Derby what would satisfy them, and if he would not give it he must give place to men who would and could sympathise with the people. (Mr. Massey resumed his seat amid cheering and, ap parently, some disapprobation.) The meeting concluded with drinking the chair man's health. REFORM DEMONSTRATION IN HYDE- PARK. During the past week placards were posted in various parts of the metropolis calling upon all true Reformers to attend a meeting in Hyde-park yes terday, for the purpose of opposing to the utmost the Government Reform Bill, the time being named three o'clock in the afternoon. Long before that hour, however, the park presented a most animated appearance, the place of meeting being the green sward at the rear of the Royal Humane Society's Receiving-house. At two o'clock the crowd greatly , increased, and in about half an hour a man of re spectable appearance was hoisted on the shoulders of two others, and it was considered that the chair had been taken. the gentleman thus elevated being greeted with loud cheers. A great disappoint ment, however, awaited the assembly, for the snpposed chairman (whose name was understood to be Mr. George Brooker) commenced saying that those who dared to take part in a political meeting on the Sabbath would be grossly offending the Almighty. This announcement was met by the utmost uproar, and the greatest confusion followed, the would-be orator being forced from his position amidst a sharp shower of orange peel and grass, which it is but fair to state was thrown by the juveniles, who evidently de lighted in the fun. Shortly after 3 o'clock it was announced that the chair would be taken by Mr. Sharl, and the noisy multitude at once became quiet. The Chairman having been duly elected. Mr. BRADLAUGH, a young man well known in the democratic circles, came forward and addressed the meeting. He said that they had been brought together to exercise the just right of Englishmen to give a free and unbiassed opinion of the so-called Government Reform Bill. (Cheers.) He would not ask them if they considered it to be a Reform Bill, for he was confident no thinking man could by any possibility give it that title. (Hear, hear.) The people of England asked for a right which it was evident the Government did not intend to grant them, but the people themselves knew that if they sternly demanded their own they must get it. (Cheers.) His opinions were that all those who acted fairly and honestly in the sphere of life in which they were placed were as well worthy of their political rights as the greatest lords in the land. (Cheers.) He trusted they would not be led away by the Government bill, or by any other bill that did not give them their undeniable rights. (Hear.) He would conclude by urging them to recollect that they were asking for no favour, but for that which had too long been unjustly withheld from them. (Loud cheers.) Mr. MARTELL (of Newcastle), who was greeted by loud applause, said he had come about 300 miles to establish an institution that was to con vert the bishops and to Christianise the whole clergy. (Cheers and laughter.) The Queen, like all those who were born, had to live, and she was kept. Englishmen scorned to be kept—they liked to keep themselves by their honest labour—but the fact was that such Government was as nece an evil as a clergyman or a bishop. (Chee(Cheers. There was an immense deal made of rs. the establishment of ragged schools, shoe-black societies, and liveried messengers, but what did they want with them ? England was rich ;it had enough for all without charity; it had enough for the man, his wife, andhis children without debasing them by apparentlyhelping them and making them grateful for charity. (Loud cheers.) Let them, as the people assembled, say " We will not be satisfied with such pitiful help.' Since the Revolution in 1688 the land had been in the hands of the nobles, and the people had been crushed. One of the Mini sters of the Crown had been obliged to admit that there had been mismanagement. (Hear.) If there was not a Government to be found who could pro- 1 perly manage the affairs of the count r y , the peep e could easily find one among themselves. (Cheers.)

Lygon, on being ap pointed a Lord of the Admiralty. Mr. Humphrey Brown is supported by a number the Liberal party and by the Dissenters on the cry of " No Puseyism" and "No placemen," and it is said that there is the fullest intention to go to the poll. Mr. Lygon has issued a second address to the electors, thanking them for the promises of support which he has received. The result may be rendered uncertain by a num ber of the £lO-householders refusing to promise their votes. Mr. Brown has given the necessary sureties to the Returning Officer for his share of the election expenses. The nomination takes place on Monday and the poll on Tuesday. CIRENCESTER.

The3r would not pay tribute for what they regarded as the interests of untruth and tyranny, au& there fore,' ever protested against church rates. They would not sign or assent to what they did not be lieve or did_not know, and, therefore, they resisted all those forms of the world which mean koniething else than they bear, or mean nothing. They eschewed the loose language of the world--that language used to conceal, not unfold, the thoughts —those hollow professions which are uttered with out meaning and heard with incredulity— Mouth honour—breath, Which the poo r h ear t wou ld fain deny, but dare not. We read, at this day, with wonder, the intuitive sagacity with which they scout the pretensions to ascendency and infallibility of the independent Presbyterians and Anglican Churchmen, with which they conclude that by the adoption ,f their policy-of passive resistanc e and sincere pretest, the civil war might be prevented, the King saved, and. _yet_nationalliberty achieved. -We see them ever on the side of liberty—ever asserting, amid pains and penalties, religious and civil equality—tver in advance of the most enlighte ned progress an d intel _ _ J~ ~-,/~ I ~/ F ~ [puce. We see them daring to put their prin ciples to the test in the treaty of Penn :With the Indians--in the labours of Clarkson agiiist the slave-trade—in the profuse, the lavish bounteous tiess of thei r hu man it y i n po p u l ar distress ttr famine in investigating the state of lunatics and prisoners —in schemes of education. And, day by day as the world rolls on, it will be proved to society how right and wise, how intuitively foreseeing the Quakers are—how, by taki ng grea t pr i nc ipl es f o r their guide, knowing not whither they would lead them—confounded, often, at the consequences ap parently flowing from their applicatiOn—they yet have it proved to them that they are in harmony with the economy of the universe, and that they turn out to be the best policy, and the most con summate expediency. Were Quakers as good as their principles—if they really intelligently -under stood and resolutely applied them, it is our opinion that they would regenerate the world. At the very moment when events, time, society are coming to them, we almost grieve to learn that they feel inclined to fall away from their inexpressibly exalted the or y o f religion, their ineffably excellent system of ethics. The waves of earth, the billows of worldly life, steal upon them too, and Quakerdom threatens . to aba n d on it s no bl e b a ttl e w ith the li es , phantasms, and hollow speciosities of the world. Let Quakers, however, do what they may, Quakerdom will never die ; nay, it will, in this critical, subtle, innovating age, have a reaction set in on its behalf, to which society will do homage. Men will get sick o f ca lli ng th e rasca l they long to kick " Dear Sir," and receiving the assurance that the f e ll ow w h o i s under mining them is yet " Yours faithfully." Peti tioners will not " Ever pray" they know not what ; " Humbly show" when they feel no humi lity. W omen of sense will regard the empty compli ments of a fool as an insult ; and men of sense will begin to inquire whether . plain inoffensiveness of speech, and sincere simplicity and tit* lness of manner and utterance, are not, after,-)411;- more expressive, agreeable, rational—aye,itt-trTefined, than the heartless platitudes and hollow euphuisms in which the intercourse of even the best circles is carried on. Will our jurisconsults, also, not at last discover that the power of truth is weakened m the popular mind by that wretched quack remedy for judicial lying called an oath, or formal invocation to the Deity ?—that swearing on every trivial or trite occasion would be wisely superseded by the maxim " Swear not all?" Is it not better in the graver form of writing to discard unmeaning and untruthful verbiage, and to refuse to indite any thing we do not truly mean ? We do not want a drab-coloured world in the room of the varied beauty of that which God has given us ; but are crinoline and balmorals, fantastic hats, high heels, short petticoats, peg-tops, all rounds and medieval coats, with endless ribbons and jewels, waistcoats and stocks—addressed not to utility, good taste, convenience, or grace, but really to the featherhead vanity, the coquetry, the pruriency, the very ero tism of society—are these so very superior to the sobrieties of Quakerhood that we can afford to ri dicule the oddness and eccentricity of those who think that clothes were meant for decency, comfort, and convenience ? Go among Quaker women, mark their sober cheerfulness, their self-possessed good sense, their healthy-mindedness, their virtue, their high principle--you will find that they are in constant employment, always industrious, active, not above the most menial duties of a female, going about everywhere doing good. Who ever heard of a Quaker trim. con., the elopement, the clandestine marriage, the light behaviour of a Friend ? By clearing their heads of the vanities of life they fill it with its realities—by eschewing Almacks, Vanity Fairs, and promenades, the insincerities of flirta tions, the imprudences of coquetry, the fantasies of dress and personal display, they become useful wives, mothers, and citizens, rendering more real service to society than all the injury inflicted on it by the entire " Court Guide." Quakerism means no church rates, no state hier archies, no political endowments of exclusive creeds, no religious or civil disabilities, no artificial distinc tions of the orders of society, no oppression, no persecution ; it means human equality, spiritual independence, non-intervention, no litigation, peace; it means temperance, the extension of intelligence, freedom, truth, punctuality. of engagement—in a word, it means every good cause with which the progress of the age is identified. British society can ill afford to part with the Society of Friends —at least it would largely profit by the adoption of their principles. SCIENTIFIC JOTTING.' The Cliniqne Europeene states, according to Pro fessor Ragsky's analysis, that in cases of death from hyprophobia the blood is found to be neutral, while in its normal state it is slightly alkaline,- that it contains 79.59 of water, instead of 80, and has only 2:2 solid parts, instead of 4.42, which it ought to hove when in a healthy stale.--The Re pertoire de Chinzie pare et appliquee gives an ac count of a new new method for obtaining rosolic acid, due to Mr. R. A. Smith. It consists in treat ing creosote with a mixture of caustic soda and oxyde of manganese at the temperate at which evaporation commences. The mass thus obtained is dissolved in water, and the rosolete of soda is decomposed by an acid. The composition of rosolic acid is : twelve equivalents of carbon, six of hydro gen, and two of oxygen. Attempts are being made to use it in dyeing, since it gives stuffs a beautiful rose -coulour ; unfortunately, th e wea k est acid, even carbonic acid of air, d es t roys it , but it bears a ction of alkalies very Enz has discovered the existence of saponine in the Arum Maculatum or Wakerobin. The fresh tubercules of is the plant are treated with acohol ; the tincture obtained distilled, and the purifi e d a l co h o li c extract i s treate d with yeast, which produces a great fermentation ; after which a new alcoholic solution is made, which deposits saponine in small granular crystals.--M. v Pavesi, and sub sequen tl y M. ee, have succeeded in obtaining the principle of the Kousso plant, which is a specific against the tape-worm. This new substan ce , which they call _You:sine, or r alzine, is obt a i ne d b y treating 300 grammes of kousso with 1,000 grammes of alcohol and 25 grammes of hydrate of lime, at a temperature of from 60 to 70 degrees centigrade (140 to 158 Fahr.) The residue is also digested in 600 grammes of boiling water. The tinctures thus obtained are then mixed together, filted, and precipitate d b y acetic acid. Koussine is yell ow, bitter, insoluble in alcohol and in alkalies, and does not crystalise. ENDOWED SCHOOLS. —A bill brought in by Mr. Dillwyn, M.P.,Sir R. Bethell, and Mr. Massey enacts that no endowed school or educational charity shall be deemed to have been founded for the purpose of affording religious instruction according to the doctrine of the Church (of England) exclusively, and that no person shall be disquali fied by reason of his dissent from the doctrines or discipline of the said Church to be a feoffee or trustee of the estates the Cambridge, scuhgoorf Westminster, or personalty of such sc hool or charity, or to be a master or a scholar therein , i ip less the will and intention of th e founder be expressly declared to that effect.
