The extremely depressed circumstances of vast numbers of the Community, and tile necessity of adopting some effectual means fer their improvement, long occupied the minds of the benevolent and philanthrople in ,scotland. Apart from the destitution induced by gratuitous criminality, it was evident that much of the distress of the humbler classes arose out of circumstances ever which they had little or no control. In aggravation of other evils, indigence conti nually drives numbers of the rural and urban population to occupy pestiferous dwellings where their own health or lives are sacrificed, anti whence those of the higher classes also are invaded. Although possessing fields ef employment capable of remunerating if properly oultivated, the Highland fishermen and crofters are frequently in destitution, requiring the intervention of publics charily to avert Actual starvation. Although Scotland boasts a number of charitable institutions, it IpOssessed no organization for aiding the industrious to raise them selves from destitution, or to prevent their falling into depressed circumstances on the failure of employment, until a number of in fluential and benevolent persons, in September, 1846, determined to Act upon the principle enccessfully carried out in England, of forming a great national institution, which should seek to improve generally the condition of the labouring classes, by various mesas adapted to that end, and accordingly the Scottish Patriotic ,Society was in- etitnted. The distinguishing features of this society are, its non-political and non-sectarian character, and its antagonism to pauperising ten dencies—its great objects being, to enable the poor to help them- Selves ; to develop the resources of the land, of the sea, and of the colonies ; and to demonstrate, how the labour of the otherwise un employed and indigent classes may be applied therein, so as to sup port and remunerate themselves, thereby indirectly relieving and iseneeting the whole community. It must be evident, that if agri cultural aed similar societies are usefal to the intelligent, the organisation of the Patriotic Society is unspeakably more necessary to the uninstructed and destitute. The emergency is great, and the field of exertion a wide one, but experience has already demonstrated, that the effOrts of the Patriotic lioCietY are telling effectually where they are so much needed. Hitherto the pecuniary means at its disposal have been too limited to enable it to enter so extensively upon its labours as is necessary, and its promoters confidently make the present appeal for extended limns of usefulness. Every one is more or less directly interested in the success of its attempts to improve the sanatory condition of the humbler elsoses, and to raise them from mere paupers and con sumers, into the successful and self-supporting producers of fiod, as it is impossible for the Society to effect sanitary improvements to the dwellings of the humbler classes, and to augment the produce of the country, without benefiting the other classes, who often become the victims of pestilence, and Mast, without each industrial improvements, sabmit to pay higher prices tor food, consequent upon numbers having to be supported in idleness out of the general stock. That the tendency of the means adopted by the Patriotic Society is to effect these improvements, is beyond all question, and it solicit, the investigation of the intelli gent community, the princiles involved, not being matters of in foundation of national prosperity arid fereioe, but WU at the ve p ry Safety. OBJECTS. I.

MOSES and 610:f. Many persons indignantly set up their backs" At the thoughts of an Income and property tax ; Especially so when it reaches the sphere Of a limited " Hundred and Fifty a-Year." The statesmen themselves are divided about it, Some wish to retain it, while others would scout it ; Some cry " Let us have it," and others cry " Waive it;" Bat the neutral language of MOSES is " Save it!' All persons possessed of a " Hundred and Fifty," Wave need to be prudent, and cautious, and thrifty, And the fact of an income and property-tax. Should teach them to wear MOSES' coats on their backs. The savings by MOSES would shortly appear In the tax on a " Hundred and Fifty a-Year," Tile coats, vests, and trowsors, the hats, and the shoes, Would save these far more than the taxes would lose ; Ind the worth of the garments would make them appear Pessess'd of Five Hundreds and Fifty a-Year ; And thus have we proved that the subject is one Which specially bears on E.

The Society for the Improvement of the Condition of the Labour lug Classes having met with entire success in three differeut effort' to provide better dwellings for the labouring poor, Is new desirous of commencing a new attempt, of, it nay be hoped, a still more impor tant character. Its past operations have been as follows :- 1. A range of cottages, on a site where cottages only were admis sible, called Model Buildings, In Bagnigge-wells. These are now oc cupied by married couples and aged females, whose rents are paid weekly, with great thankfulness for the cheap and wholesome lodg ings provided. 2. Three houses repaired and thrown into one, in Charles-street, Drury-lane, wherein clean and proper accommodation is found for 50 working men. 3. The Model Lodging-house, for single men, built expressly for the Society, in George-street, St. Giles's. In this house 104 single men are provided with separate sleeping apartments, and every other desirable accommodation, at the charge of 4d. per night. All these establishments are full, the rents are regularly paid, and the inmates aro very thankfhl for tee advantages they receive. The number of persons now tenanting the Society's houses is 320, while in various parts of the country their allotment tenants are b 56. These three undertakings, therefore, while they return a fair and adequate rental for the capital laid out, are producing important be nefits to the working classes, and are compelling improvement in lodging-houses generally. But there is a very numerous and important elass, for whose be nefit great efferts ought to be made. The mechanics and other la bourers, occupied in the heart of the metropolis, and having wives and families, who are compelled to dwell in localities where employ ment is to be found, surely demand some consideration. The Committee desire forthwith to make an earnest attempt to meet the wants of this interesting and important class of persons. They at present have in view two sites, in the very centre of the me tropolis, either of which would admirably answer the purpose. They are endeavoaring to gain possession of one of them, but it will be necessary, In order to their effecting this object in a proper and sufficient manlier, that they should first raise a sum of 5,0001. or 6,0001., which will obviously be required to erect any building of such extent as to to serve as a model for future undertakings. Hence a public appeal must be made, since the whole of the Sociecy'e fluids have been exhausted in the completion of the three works above enu merated. The Committee believe that with the Christian public of this coun try no further plea need be used than that of the duty and Impor tance of benefiting the poor, especially with respect to their dwellings. Still it cannot be out of place to remark, that while measures for the improvement of the health of the metropolis are urged on every side, there can be fie measure so effectual fur this purpose as that of ex changing the wretched abodes, into which the poor are now too often crowded, for well-planned, well-drained, and properly ventilated ha bitations. The Committee believe that this can be done even et a lower rate of charge for rent than that which the labourer is now often forced to pay, and they entreat the affluent and the charitable to give them the means of still further demonstrating this important 1 fact by actual experiment. It cannot be too often repeated, that while our poor are forced, as at present, to crowd together, all ages a, d sexes in the same sleeping apartment, the preservation of either health or morals is rendered all but an Impossibility.

DUBLIN, MARCH 10.—The Music hall, in Lower Abbey-street. was densely crowded last night, it having been known that Mr. Smith O'Brien, M.P., had come over to attend a meeting of the Irish Confederation. The hall was decorated with placards bearing the fol lowing words :—" Courage !—Forgiveness !—Frater nity I" At eight o'clock the chair was taken by Mr. Michael Crean. Mr. J. B. DILLON (barrister) moved the adoption of the following address from the Council of the Confedera tion, which he read, and which was received throughout with the most tremendous shouts of approval:— " ADDRESS OF THE COUNCIL OF THE IRISH CONFEDERA• TION TO THE PEOPLE OF IRELAND. " Fellow Countrymen,—ln a circular addressed to its representatives at foreign Courts, the great French Republic has thus spoken through the most iglu .trious of its servants:— " • Thus, we declare it openly: if the hour of the re construction of nationalities long oppressed, in Europe or elsewhere, should appear to us to have sounded in the decrees of Providence, the French Republic would believe itself entitled to arm for the protection of those legitimate movements for the greatness and nationality of states.' " Three nationalities there are long oppressed in Europe '—ltaly—Poland Ireland. The hour for Italy's redemption has already Founded—the bleeding breast of Poland heaves with the breath of returning life. Shall Ireland alone remain buried in darkness, while her sis ters are emerging into liberty and light ? " When the hour shall have sounded—when the virtue of nationhood shall appear, and the vices of provincialism shall be conquered and trodden down—when falsehood, cowardice, and selfishness be cast aside and regarded with scorn—when courage, self-sacrifice, and mutual love shall mark the conduct of the people, then shall we be in a position to call upon the great protectress of op pressed nationalities to redeem her pledge. " When shall this hour have sounded ? Whether in a month, in a year, or never, depends, brother Irish men, upon you.—[A voice, We are ready.'] —(Cheers.) If upon the threshold of this new career we will blot itit all recollections of past injury from our hearts—if with hand clasped in hand we will swear before Heaven that we will be true to each other—that no evil influ ence shall divide us—that no danger shall turn us back —then be of good hope, for the hour of deliverance is at hand, and a good and pitying God will not have sent this lair opportunity in vain. " Courage, forgiveness, and fraternity—these are the virtues of the hour. Listen to the warning that is sritteu in every page of the history of our servitude — the craft of the tyrant is more formidable than his Arength. Reptiles whose breath is poison, will crawl trowel your steps, whispering suspicion, ridiculing all manly sentiment, &crying bold courses, undermining your confidence, and chilling the ardour of your hopes —you must tread these reptiles beneath your feet. Be prudent ; when boldness risks the safety of a cause, it becomes rashness. Be prudent, but not for yourselves. The man who now shrinks from personal risk must stand aside, he is neither fit to lead nor to follow. To what purpose do we express our admiration of the heroes who braved death for liberty, if we ourselves are frightened by the meshes of the law?' Freedom smiles not upon cowards, she turns her radiant face away from those who will not woo her in the midst of danger. " For ourselves, brother Irishmen, we have but one re quest—that we may be suffered to share the labour and the danger of your struggle, as we hope to participate in the fruits of your triumph; we are ready to forget our party, our injuries, and our pride, for the sake of our country. In her service, humiliation—and danger—and sacrifice and death are welcome to us. Wherever we are required we shall be present, indifferent as to whether our post be humble or exalted. Whoever leads on, we shall follow—insisting only that we shall go forward — forward, though graves were to yawn and gibbets to frown across our path. (Signed) "J. B. DILLON, Chairman." Mr. BARRY called on Irishmen to be bold, courageous, and self-sacrificing; stating that if they only were so for a few days, the citizens of Dublin would take the ad vanced guard of the united army that was about to place itself in front of the English Government.—(Loud cheers.) The Minister might offer conciliation, but they would accept of nothing short of independence. Mr. SMITH O'BRIEN then came forward, and was re ceived with loud cheers. He was compelled to tell them that never, at any former period, did he observe less disposition to do what was right in reference to that country, on the part of the rulers of Ireland; never did he perceive so resolute a determination to exhibit utter contempt for the claims of the Irish nation. Night after night he had been compelled to listen to declarations from the Ministry which convinced him that they viewed with indifference the deaths daily taking place from famine in different parts of the kingdom. He expected :hat if there was any spirit, any manhood in the Irish representatives of every class, they would have stood up in a body in the English Parliament,; and said, " If you are determined to set at nought the opinion of the Irish nation, we will bid you good morning, we will go home and take care of our own interests. —(Cheers.) But lie was sorry to say that they had abdicated the right to lead, which was the true attribute of aristo cracy. In France they had seen the people triumph over a tyrant who trampled on their rights. They bad seen an effort made there similar to that made at Clon tarf in this country—(Hear, hear)—to put down a meeting of the citizens held to express their political ,pinions in reference to the condition of their country. They had seen the French soldiery do that which the Irish soldiery would do under similar circumstances — (Cheers)—fraternize with the people of Paris. And could they view without emotion those great results of popular opinion? He was not afraid to confess that he rejoiced exceedingly in that programme of the intentions of the French people alluded to in the address which had been put forward by their committee, and which he saw for the first time after he had entered the room —he hailed with delight the enunciation on the part of the French Government of a determination to sustain, everywhere they could, and revive the op pressed nationalities of Europe—(Loud cheers)—and he was prepared farther, if it were the pleasure of his fellow. countrymen that he should go over as their deputy—(Loud cheering and waving of hats)—to Paris, to wait on the Provisional Government, and tell them that the people of Ireland invoked French sympathy on their own behalf.—(Loud cheering). He apprehended that even Lord Palmerston himself could not object to such a course, for lie had sent within the last few months Lord Minto—(Hisses)—to negotiate a repeal of the union between Sicily and Naples, which was an ad mirable example for sending a mission to claim the services of a third power, in support of a people who were contending for another repeal of the union. He apprehended that if a deputation was appointed from that country to wait on the people of France, it would in no respect bring them within the operation of any known law, and that they would not thereby be departing from that course of constitutional agitation which he vindi cated at their last meeting. Ile might be told that the contingency of war was one in which the Irish people could have no separate interest from that of the people of Great Britain. Now, upon that point ho was not disposed to shrink from a full exposition of his opinions. He was not desirous that the French should invade and subdue England. A VOlCE—Certainly.—(Cheers and laughter.) Mr. O'Bittieet —Stilt less was he desirous that Franco should invade and subdue Ireland.—(Hear, hear.) But he did say this to the British Government—and he would not have the least objection to tell them so in the House of Commons next week, should it be their plea sure to listen to him—that he for one would not use any influence which he might possess with the people a that country to induce them to fight the battle of England unless they had a Parliament in Ireland.—(Cheers; a voice, " Nor then either.") Let them have a Parliament in Ireland, and he thought they might answer for the Irish people that they would defend their own shores against every foe.—(" Bravo," and cheers.) His candid conviction was, that the time for Ireland's liberation was come.—(Cheers.) The only difficulty against which they had at present to contend was the old sin of disunion and dissension amongst themselves. For his part he was willing:to adopt the mottoes of " forgiveness" and of 41 fraternity "—(Applause)—with all classes of the Irish people. With those who had wronged them to the utmost, as well as with those who stood by them in many a difficult conflict, he was prepared most heartily to fraternize.—(Applause.) He no sooner learned the events in France, than he wrote to his friends on the Counoil of the Confederation urging, them to make peace with Old Ireland.—(Cheers.) lie under stood that it had been decided there should be, within a few days, in that metropolis, a meeting for the purpose of adopting an address to the French people, and he presumed that such an address would be presented by a deputation. Ile was glad that that proposition should have originated with the gentlemen of what was called the Old Ireland party. In future they knew nothing of Old or Young Ireland ; they were all for Ireland. — (Cheers —and a voice, " A cheer for Smith O'Brien.") It might be interesting to them to know that the Re pealers of Manchester: contemplated holding a meet ing of Repealera of all sections on the 17th of Marcie. — (Hear, hear.) They had written to aim asking is attendance, and he ehonld have the greest satisfaction in going there, if it were not arr an g ed that the meeting in Dublin to address the French should be held on that day. It would be for the Committee of Trades to determine whether they could make any arrange ment to prevent the two meetings from clash ing. He was happy to be able to tell them, from communica tions which he had re ceived, that a meeting of the Repeaters of London would be held for a similar purpose. A system of ad dress to Franco ought, in his opinion, to be made uni versal in that kingdom, and also throughout Scotland and England. They were told that the aristocracy formed in that country the garrison of England. Perhaps it might not bo unwise to remind the Government of England that they, too, had a garrison in England; that there were in Liverpool some thirty or forty thousand Repealers, in Manchester some forty or fifty thousand, in London some hundred thousand Repeaters of the Union, and in Glasgow fifty thousand Repealers of the Union. It was desirable that the meetings to which he had referred should be held simultaneously. Perhaps it might be thought that he was reluctant to take the third of their mottoes, " courage," as his motto—(No)—when he told them, and earnestly enjoined them, to mingle prudence with their courage. There was no one thing which their adversaries would so much desire as that they should have recourse to an outbreak. So far as he was concerned, he thought it right to repeat to them the admonition with which be closed the last speech he made in that assembly, which was, that Ireland had had failures enough, and they must so contrive affairs in future as not again to fail. Mr. RICHARD O'GORMAN, jun., next came forward and proposed the following resolution That we deem it expedient that the people should follow the example of the English people, who are now generally organizing and arming themselves under the sanction of the authorities, for the defence of their country in any emergency which may arise." The Learned Gentleman in the most violent language. compared Ireland to France, stated that France had nobly gained her freedom when oppressed, and that Irishmen ought to be prepared to follow her example, and compel England to do her j us tice.—(Cherrs.) The French nation diet not understand teasirg a Government into compliance when they knew justice was on their side, but nobly seiz,!d the musket and sabre, and rushed upon their rights.—(Tremendous applause.) It was his conviction that all honest men were bound to arm, whether they might require those arms to resist foreign oppression or a domestic foe.— (Cheers.) They should, however, follow the advice of Mr. O'Brien, and " bide their time."—(Applause.) Mr. BYRNE seconded the motion, which was adopted with acclamation. Dr. DUFFY then proposed the following motion:— " 1. That this Confederation has read with the strongest emotions of pleasure the proceedings of the reconcilia tory meetings of the Old and Young Ireland Repealers, held during the last week in Dublin, Drogheda, Kil kenny, and Limerick; and we venture to express our desire that this example will be followed by every Re pealer in every town in England, Ireland, and Scotland. 2. That, for our own part, we solemnly declare that the confederates of Dublin aro anxious to forget all past causes of offence received from the Repeal Association, and that from this hour forth we ardently desire to abolish all unfriendly and anti-national distinctions between Young and Old Ireland. 3. That we cordially concur in the proposal of the united Repealers of Kil kenny, a National Council of Union to be held in Dublin, and we beg to suggest to the committee now sitting, of the united Repealers of Dublin the propriety of their en tering into preliminary arrangements for that purpose. Further, we beg to suggest the 13th of April next, the anniversary of the 'B2 declaration of independence, as the day of meeting of the Council of Union." Mr. M'GEE seconded the resolution. Mr. C. DU/FY said he was authorised to propose, as a member of the Confederation, Mr. Stephenson, one of the Fellows of a Protestant College (St. Columba's), established in Meath, for the education of the sons of the Protestant gentry of Ireland.—(Hear, hear.) There were more friends to be united to them than Old Ireland. The friends who left the Confederation he desired to see amongst them again.—(Applause, and loud cheers for Mitchel and Reilly.) He did not speak on behalf of the council or others; but, inasmuch as it gave him the deepest pain to part from his true faiend John Mitchel, he desired to take his hand again, and be trusted that on some other day, when their work should have been attained and Ireland should be free, they would all of them join hands in the building in College-green. Mr. Smith O'Brien was then called to the chair, and the meeting rose. TUMULTUOUS ASSEMBLAGE AT DUBLIN CASTLE. Saunders's News Letter appends the following to its report of the meeting of the Confederation:— " The crowd having left the Music-hall, proceeded in a body down Abbey-street, Sackvillo street, through Westmorland street, College-green, and Dame-street, to the Upper Castle gate, shouting in the most boisterous manner along the route. Upon arriving at the entrance to the Castle, they groaned his Excellency the Lord- Lieutenant, and loudly cheered the French people and the Republic. After remaining there for ten or fifteen minutes, they gradually lessened in numbers, and in less than half-an-hour order was perfectly restored. Another body took their way down Bachelor's-walk, giving expression to their feelings by loud cheers, and by sing ing as they went along. No breach of the peace was committed as far as we could learn." FRESH RUPTURE BETWEEN OLD AND YOUNG IRELAND. The Freeman's Journal has published, in a second edition, the following address from Mr. John O'Connell, which may be regarded as the manifesto of Old Ireland, in reply to the Confederation speeches last night:— " ADDRESS TO THE PEOPLE OP IRELAND. " Gowran-Hill, Dublin, March 10, 1848. "Beloved Fellow countrymen—My mind is too un easy about you to let me be deterred by anything from addressing you at this important moment. " I desire to warn you against the wild doctrines at tempted to be spread amongst you. I want to ask of you utterly and indignantly to repulse and defeat the continuous efforts being made by newspaper scribblers and others to weaken in your minds the teachings of my beloved father. ' The very men who write and talk wildest and strongest would be the very first to abandon you if you did allow them to stimulate you into violence and rebel lion. " Recollect, 1 beseech of you, the experience we had in 1843 of the value of big words, written or spoken. Four of the men whose wild language was heavily cited against us at our trials hung back and saved themselves —leaving innocent persons to bear the consequences of their offences. "I will not mention names; but I must mention facts. One of them was known to be hiding in the country. Another is grievously suspected of having offered him self to the Government of the day; and having been re fused only because he could, of course, prove nothing of treason in our committee deliberations. With such warning facts before you, I believe, and am confident, you will not listen to those who, at this day, would hurry you into violence and crime, and then shrink back and abandon you! For one, I will be guiltless of your blood! I will not have the scream of the orphan at my door. I will not have the curse of the bereaved widow upon my head, and on those of my children. I will do my duty by warning you against those evil, those most wicked counsellors, who are said to be abroad. They hold out to you the example of what has happened in Paris, but they omit to tell you that the French people were acting in mere self-defence against I the last aggression that would utterly and entirely have deprived them of all their rights; and, above all, these men do not tell you what I, from being on the spot, and seeing the whole affair, know to be the fact, that the people of Paris, accustomed though they are to ire-arms, and with plentiful means of supplying themselves, would yet have been utterly defeated and crushed, but that the armed and disciplined National Guards revolted against the despot and joined them, and the example was fol lowed by the soldiery. " Again, the French were an united people, and we— unhappily we—are a spectacle to the world for our divi sions. And if you were wantonly and madly to throw away the peaceful means yet left in our hands to accom plish our rights, you could not hope to have the assist ance in your fight of the real friends of liberty amongst the classes you would wish to have at your head. AU thoughts of violence, then, are as insane as they are deeply criminal. The men who seek to spread them amongst you must either be silly and mischievous fools, or else paid agents of your oppressors. " Beloved fellow-countrymen, we have no need of violence. England's permanent interests (if by mad folly we do not make her passions render her deaf to those interests) must convince her of the necessity of doing us justice. Unless that justice be done us, she will, in the very probable event of foreign war, leave her most vulnerable points exposed to invite the enemy's attack. And in case of continued peace, she must, if still unjust, maintain—nay, must augment—the army and police, the cost of which now weighs ea heavily upon her finances, impeding every effort at lightening the grievous burthen of taxation. " Oh ! let us in our meetings of St. Patrick's-day — let us not waste time in idle vapourings about fighting — but soberly address ourselves to English self-interest, if English justice still continue deaf ; and let us ask these Englishmen, whose greatest boast is their plain common sense, is it worth while to keep Ireland in bondage at such a cost ? Let us point out to them that we could save millions to the State, if justice were but done us ; and that Ireland, rich, happy, and contented, would be their firmest support and ally in war, and their most useful neighbour and friend in time of peace. "Fellow -countrymen, we who now—who have ever advised you to peace—we did not shrink back in the hour of danger, as others did. My beloved father— whose life was spent in preaching to you constitutional agitation —he welcomed the danger when it came, and was ready for every suffering, provided only that it fell upon himself, and not upon you ! And some of us gladly st ud by his side, sharing his spirit and his perils. And now that he is gone, we arc ready again—whensoever persecution may come—again to suffer if need be, pro vided only you be saved 1 "I have but little to give to your service, bat that little—my life, and all its hopes and prospects—l have freely, cheerfully, devotedly given, and never will re claim. Poor as the offering is, it gives me the right to ask of you—to implore of you—for Ireland's sake, for religion's sake, for the sake of all that you hold dear, spurn from you the inciters to blood, to most criminal rebellion, if such you find amongst you, and give one more great, peaceful, constitutional effort to poor Ire land, and victory will be yours. " True, the unwise—the mad policy of the English Government is endeavouring to detach from you your be loved clergy ; is trying to prevent them from joining, and giving safe and rightful direction to your efforts. But even though the shepherds be withheld from their faith ful flocks, even then we will not suffer ourselves to be hurried into crime. No, we shall look for and shall obtain Heaven's richest blessing upon our struggle— because we will not stain it with violence or outrage ; above all, because we will not stain it by the shedding of blood ! ' The man who violates the law gives strength to the enemy !' We will give the enemy no strength, f or we will not violate the laws of man ; and, assuredly, we will not violate the sacred ordinance of God " Firmly and determinedly, but peacefully and le gally, we will hold our meetings on the day of the XfiIIOVED TO 37.

Marriage requires the fulfilment of several conditions. in order that It may be really the cause of mutual happiness. Could the veil, which covers the origin of domestic wretchedness, be raised, and its tree source is every instance disclosed, in how many could ittie traced to physical disqualifications and their attendant disap , aointments. Excesses are always injurious ; the gift, which when used in moderation is fraught with advantage, becomes, when abused, the prolific source of mischief and of greater or less Nary to the constitutional and vital powers. The particular excesses, on .he nature and consequence of which this Treatise professes to dilate, are productive of greater severity of misery to tke human frame, Sham any ether to which it is ,abject. This work contains as accurate and complete account of the Anatomy and Physiology of the Reproductive Organs, and of their relative conditions In health aid disease. It deservedly requires the closest attention and study, for what subject can be of more importance than the preservation if the health, and of the physical capabilities of which every man should be poosesised. It unfortunately happens that the unhappy victim of excessive indulgence and vieious habits, whether acquired in early life or from the follies of advanced age, while safferiag from their invariable consequences, unwisely entertains a fear of ap plying to a qualified physician for relief. Shame and tko dread so rrequently, but erroneously entertained that these complaints are beyond the reach of art, alike restrict Min and prevent his seeking or assistince where alone it can be procured. In acting thus, he forgets that accurate discrimination. a ascertaining the causes of disease, sympathy with the sufferer, and, above all, secrecy, lava riebly characterise the intelligent and practical physician, and to the medical man who can show by hi:, possmsion of the requisite legal malifications that he is entitled to esteem and respect in his profes ,imlal pursuits, the utmost confidence should be extended. Dr. LI'MERT has obtained the highest medical honours, as iiiS diplomas cei city, =xi the great catent of his practice for many years is a guarantee for his professional experience, which has reference almost solely to the treatment of these diseases.

Young, the newly-appointed Governor of that colony. The chair was filled upon the occasion by Mr. W. W. Whitmore, and from forty lo fifty gentlemen sat down to a most sumptuous enter tainment, provided in the usual style of the Albion. The utmost cordiality prevailed during the evening, and the usual eomplimentary toasts were proposed by the Chair man, and most warmly received. Sir IL Young returned thanks in most appropriate terms for the manner in which his health was drunk, and assured the company that his best efforts would be devoted to develop the moral and material interests of South Australia. Colonel Gawler, late governor of she colony, was one of the party, and during the evening entered into an able vin dication of his administration in South Australia, in whieb he complained he had been unjustly assailed by a Committee of the House of Commons. Much was said of the mining and agricultural resources of the colony, which were represented as equal in extent to those of any other portion of the British possessions. ST. DuViSTAN'S-IN-TBE-EAST.___The Archbishop of York preached yesterday morning at the church of St. Dunstan's-in-the-East, Tower - street, in behalf of the Tower Ward Charity School.; his Grace having kindly undertaken the office at a few hours' notice, in conse quence of the illness of the Bishop of Antigua, who was to have preached.

HOURS OF BANKING BUSINZ I9 B. The following notice has been eirculated ( but without any signature being attached to it) A numerous b o d y o f t h e mer cantile and trading interests of London have signified their approval of bankers closing their counter business at four o'clock, instead of five o'clock, as at present, notice is hereby given that, on and after the Ist of May next, the Bank of E n gland, the City B an k e rs, and the Joint Stock Banks, will close for the receipt and payment of money, at lour o'clock in the day." 3 COAL FOR THE STEAM NAVY.—Sir Henry de la Bache, and Dr. Lyon Playf air, have presented their first report to the Lords of the Admiralty on the comparative usefulness of English and American coal for the pur poses of steam navigation. The Commissioners recom mend that the experiments be continued for one or two years more. They do not, of course, in their first report, pronounce any opinion as to the relative merits of any particular description ;of coal. IT AN L-WIND THAT BLOWS NO ONE ANY GOOD. The disorderly c rowds in Trafalgar-square have swept away the hoarding from the base of the Nelson column! It needed a supernatural interposition. —Builder. " JOHN O'C aNNELL." IRISH POOR-LAW COMMISSION.—TIie Mercantile Ad vertiser says—" We understand that Captain Larcom, R E., one of the Commissioners of the Board of Public Works, has been appointed chairman of the new eom mission granted by Government, to make inquiry re specting the ar e a o f p oor -l aw u nions and electoral divi sions in this country, with a view to the reduction of their extent, where circumstances render such a change desirable for the better working of the poor-law." KINSALE ELECTION. The nomination took place yesterday (Thursday), when Lord Robert Pelham Clinton and Mr. Benjamin Hawes were proposed as candidates. The late Member, Mr. Guinness, and Mr. Norton, of the English bar, were also put in nomination, but only with a view to address the electors. At the close of the proceedings the show of hands was in favour of Mr. Hawes. The polling is to take place to•morrow (S:itui day). The result was still considered doubtful. DERLIN, MARCH IL—The Trades Committee held a meeting last night, et the Club-room, in Westmoreland street, when a Mr. Harrison said he had a rin ssage from it:flu: parties connected with Conciliation Hall, to the effect that if an impartial committee were chosen to meet in some neutral ground, to make arrangements for the forthcoming demonstration, they would be glad to tro et and act with such a committee. After some discussion, it was resolved, on the motion of Mr. Duffy, to non: irate five trade: men from that meeting, who did not belong to any political body, to meet the same number from th e Repeal Associatiou and the Irish Confederaticn (making fifteen in all), for the purpse of effecting an amalgamation of all parties at the forthcoming demonstration, and in the hope that it iniAt ultimately lead to a perfect union of all Irishmen. The sub-committee then retired to a private room for the purpose of arranging matters of detail. A notification appears this morning from the trad e s committee, announcing a meeting for to-morrow (Sun day), " to receive subscriptions towards the expenses of the coming demonstration." Meantime the Old Ire lenders at Conciliation Hall have published the following resolution, adopted on the motion of Mr. John O'Con nell, M.P. : " That this committee recommend to the members of the association to abstain from attendance at, or co operation with, the committee that sat lately at the Northumberland Rooms, so long as parties committed to illegal sentiments, who have advised a breach of the law, shall form part of the same. " JOHN LEVEY, Chairman. " T. M. RAY, Secretary." The precautionary arrangements of the Government are complete. At livery stables in various parts of the city accommodation has been provided for cavalry, in order, in case of emergency, the troops should at once be enabled to repress disturbance. There will on the 17th March be an effective force of 1,500 police in the city, with a considerable body of constabulary from the rural districts. The regiments at the various barracks are ordered to be in readiness, and the stations and duties of all are assigned. In fact, nothing can be more com plete than the measures of precaution so prudently and promptly , devised by the Lord-Lieutenant. The Evening Post says—" We understand that the Lord Chancellor has issued commissions of the peace e u t o t e t n h a e .n te o following ionei reeves, Colonel Gordon, Major stufft cF o oo r crt shhtofficersborough u.ou f.t a chL n eoi del garrison,oucntoeeunl n a t n yt Frith, Colonel viz.:—Lieutenant-Colonel :Colonel Dublin, . Gi Draper, and Captain Leycester Smith." MEETING OT THE TRADES UNION.—The "National Trades Political Union" have convened a " great publio demonstration" for to-morrow (Sunday) at the Theatre, Lower Albany- street, to " address the Queen and to pe tition both Houses of Parliament for a repeal of the obnoxious blighting act of union, which has perpetrated the annihilation of our trade, and established destitution and starvation in our suffering country, and to address the French nation on their noble victory over tyranny and despotism." I'ROJECT FOR A "NATIONAL MILITIA." The Nation contains the following suggestions for the monster meeting:— " We believe a national militia and a national council have been essential to our very existence. We must now protect ourselves. We trust the meeting on St. Patrick's day will decree a national militia of volunteers, send a deputation to the Queen asking the usual license, and proceed to enrol them. If the enrolment become as universal as in 'B2, the dress and arms need not be uni form; but a general resemblance would be convenient. Some sound military authorities hold that the bulk of a national militia ought to be armed simply with the pike. Fire arms are overvalued. In pitched battles, it is cal culated that not more than one man falls in every six hundred musket shots, in skirmishes a still smaller pro portion. But in a charge of pikes, whatever front rank holds its ground against it, dies. Certainly our militia ought not to rely exclusively on either weapon. The national genius, so vehement and impetuous, exhibits itself with greatest effect in a charge; and for that service your pike is the tool. The dress ought to be no pretty frippery, but plain and serviceable, fit for campaign work. Colonel Keating's proposal for arming a native militia against the invasion threatened, by Napoleon supplies good advice on this head. He would furnish his infantry with a frieze body coat, of a dark colour, knee-breeches of ticken or corduroy, a plain wool hat, brogues or buskins, of any strong leather, in one piece and laced down the centre ; a musket, a cartridge-box, and a horn for priming pow der. (Rifles and a box for percussion caps would per haps be better.) The officers might be distinguished by a facing of green velvet of home manufacture. But no gold lace, no show ; no gaudy distinctions. Men who mean to do their duty will win other renown than the fabric or colour of their coat affords. Two drill-ser geants ought to be temporarily employed, to train each corps. Old soldiers, or ex-policemen, fit for this work, are to be found in every district. This is the first step ; the second follows close upon it. A National Assembly has been the sure resource of all struggling nations. Philadelphia, Paris, Dungannon, are the catch-words of its history. From out our National Guards, or from the country indiscriminately, let us then choose a Na tional Council. Let them be elected by a deliberate vote of the people in every county and city in Ireland. The Convention Act is obsolete; it was passed upwards of half a century ago ; and whatever it says is no longer of practical effect. The stern law of necessity over-rides dead (or living) Acts of Parliament. At this very hour the Chartists of England are electing a Con vention for their purposes, and no one says nay; who shsll say nay' to Ireland if she is plainly determined to say yes.' We demand a Convention fit to treat with England for our freedom. A Convention representing the people, and whom the people will obey." A CONTINGENT INSURRECTION.—The United Irish• man, published this day, contains the following:—" Ireland rose in insurrection against the Government which rules it for England, against the garrison which the English call classes' here, and if England or any other foreign power lauded one man on this our island to intimidate or defeat us in the assertion of our natural and national right, then the French Republic would believe itself entitled, i. e., justified, necessitated, to pro tect by force of arms, that legitimate movement' of an oppressed nation for life, for nationality, for greatness. This is the plain enunciation of M. de Laniartine on behalf of the Republic. But to merit this sympathy, is to be in a position to demand it, we must make known to the world that the decrees of Providence have sounded for our resurrection. We must utter and maintain the God-sent truth—the decree that is in the hearts of us all—hate of England to the death." The Dublin Evening Post contains the following:— " Thurles, March 10, 1848. "My dear Lord—l had a communication from Rome a few days back, informing me that Cardinal Franconi had received the statement addressed to him by me, in answer to his letter of the 3d of January, concerning the charges made against the Irish clergy, and that he was sorry I had put myself to so much trouble in re futing them, as he did not believe them. He sent my letter to the Pope, who considered it most satisfactory. " From the first I considered the Cardinal Prefect's letter as a private one—so much so, that I did not men tion it even to the Bishops of this province until after it got publicity in the newspapers; I then wrote, to explain to them the reason of my not having communicated it, and that I had refrained from doing so solely from a sense of propriety. " When I saw the letter published in the Dublin Evening Post, I also wrote to the Propaganda, to ex culpate myself from any share in its publication, stating that I considered it to be, from its very tonour, a private and confidential communication, and that I would there f ire deem myself to have acted with extreme imprudence if I gave it publicity. "That my view on this subject was correct is now evdent, from a letter re c ei ve d by me l as t n i g ht, con taining Important information on this and other matters, an extract from which I subjoin; and remain, my dear Lord, yours faithfully, " Must Rev. Dr. M'ilals." " M. SLATTERY. " ' Rome, Feb. 28, 1848. " ' My Lord—The Secretary of the Propaganda said hat the letter was a private one—it was written merely .0 get information, and any one reading it would see that it was not to be published. He also said the Pope concurred in these views, and they were both very much displeased that a private communication should have been published " "rhe Popo praised your Graces's letter very much, and said you took a right Christian view of priestly in terference in politics. If religion or necessity require that they should interfere, they have a right to do so ; if the religion or the lives of the people be in danger, re ligion itself and charity calls on them to interfere and to speak out—but in mere political matters, which are not connected with religion, priests should not take a part. This is what the Pope said. He kept your Grace's let ter, expressing great approbation T of it, and sa id h e f u lly a pproved of your views.' IMPORTANT DECLARATION. We have obtained a copy of the following declaration, which is now in course of signature in this city : " Dublin, March 11, 1848. ,‘ We, the undersigned noblemen, bankers, merchants, and inhabitants :generally of this city and its vicinity being anxious at all times to maintain the peace of our city, and of the country generally, feel called on, under the present peculiar circumstances, to declare our fixed determination to support her Majesty, her crown, and the laws of our country, by every legitimate means in our power ; and that we will be prepared at all times to aid the Lord-Lieutenant in the furtherance of such mea sures as his Excellency may think it expedient to adopt, to preserve the peace of the metropolis and of our country. And we entreat that our fellow citizens will unite with us in using their best endeavours to prevent such persons with whom they may possess influence, from being misled by others into any violation of the law.
