Boyd, Esq., Resident F. C. Maitland, Esq. E. Lennox Boyd, Esq., As- John Ritchie, Esq. sistant Resident This Company, established by Act of Parliament, affords the most perfect security, from an ample capital, and only re quires, when an Insurance is for the whole period of life one half of the very moderate Premiums to be paid for the first five years after the date of the Policy, the other half may remaine subject to the payment of interest at 5 per cent, annually, to be deducted at death, or may previously be paid off at convenience. It obviously becomes easy for a person of very moderate income to secure, by this arrangement, a provision for his family ; and should he at any time after effecting the insurance succeed to, or acquire, a fortune, he may relinquish his policy, having only paid one half the premiums for the first five years, instead of the whole, as in all other Companies. Thus a man of 25 years old may, by an annual payment of 281. 16s. 3d. for the first five years, and afterwards the full premium, 571. 12s. 6d. yearly, secure to his widow and children at his death payment of no less than 3,0001., sub ject only to the deduction of 144/. Is. 3d., being the amount of premium unpaid. On the Ist of July, the Board of Directors added 2 per Cent. per Annum as a Bonus to those assured upon the participating plan from the dates of their policies, thus appropriating 20/. a-year as an addition to every policy for 1,0001. The follow- Table will show the amount of the bonus on policies since the commencement of the Company in March, 11434 : Sum Assured. Time Assured.

When such facilities are afforded, it is clearly a moral duty in every parent who is not possessed of a fortune, but of an income, however moderate, to insure his life for a sum which may yield a comfortable provision for his family.

Illustrated with Cases, &c. By C. J. LUCAS and CO., Consulting Surgeons, London. Published by the Authors; and sold by Brittain, 11, Pater noster-row ; Effingham Wilson, 18, Bishorgate-street ; Field, 65, Quadrant, Regent-street ; Burgess, 28, Coventry-street, Haymarket ; Huett, 141, High Holborn ; and by all Booksel lers in the United Kingdom. The various forms of bodily and mental weakness, incapa city, suffering, and disease, faithfully delineated in this cau tiously writt en an d prac ti ca l work, are almost unknown, gene rally misunderstood, and treated upon principles correspond ingly erroneous and superficial, by the present race of medical practitioners. Hence the necessity for the publication of a timely safeguard, a silent yet friendly monitor, or, where debi lity has made threatening inroads, the means of escape and the certainty of restoration. The evils to which this book adverts are extensive and identical in their secret and hidden origin, and there are none to whom, as Parents, Guardians, Heads of Families, and especially of public Schools, is confided the care of young people, who ought to remain for a moment devoid of that information and those salutary cautions this work is in tended to convey. Not only are the most delicate forms of generative debility neglected by the family physician, but they require for their safe management the exclusive study of a life entirely abstracted from the routine of general practice, and (as in other departments of the profession) attentively concen trated in the daily and long-continued observation requisite for the correct treatment of sexual infirmities. If we consider the topics touched upon, either in a moral or social view, we find the interests and welfare of mankind seriously involved. The effects of licentious, indiscriminate and secret indulgence in certain practices, are described with an accuracy and force which display at once profound reflec tion and extensive practical experience. The best of all Friends is the Professional Friend : and in no shape can he be consulted with greater safety and sccresy than in " Lucas on Manly Vigour." The initiation into vicious indulgence—its progress—its results in both sexes, are given with faithful, but alas ! for human nature, with afflicting truth. However, the Authors have not exposed the evil with out affording a remedy. It shows how " Manly Vigour" temporarily impaired, and mental and physical emasculation, produced by uncontrolled indulgence of the passions, can be restored ; how the sufferer, who has pined in anguish from the consequences of early indiscretion—afraid almost to encounter his fellow man, can regain the vigour of health and moral courage. The work is written in a concise and perspicuous style, displaying how often fond parents are deceived by the outward physical appearance of their youthful offspring ; how the attenuation of the frame, palpitation of the heart, derange ment of the nervous system, cough, indigestion, and a train of symptoms indicative of consumption or general decay, are often ascribed to wrong causes ; and instead of being the natural re sults of congenital debility or disease, are the consequences of an alluring and pernicious practice, alike destructive to the mind and body. Although a newspaper is not the ordinary channel for the expression of opinion upon the merits of a medical work, this remark is open to exception in any instance where the public, and not the isolated and exclusive members of the profession, are the parties addressed. Upon that which is directed to men indiscriminately, the world will form its own opinion, and will demand that medical works for public study should be devoid of that mysterious technicality in which the science of medicine has hitherto shrouded its own ignorance. The work before us treats of subjects we believe generally, yet very strangely, neglected by the medical attendant, and requiring doubtlessly (as in operative midwifery and the surgery of the eye) an entire devotedness to a deeply important branch of study. The tone of this book is highly moral, and it abounds in well-written, harrowing, yet correct displays of the suffering consequent upon unbridled sensualism. No human being can be the ,worse for its perusal ; to multitudes it must prove a warning beacon, a well-told appeal to reason, a permanent blessing. It is written in a clear, intelligent style, and is evi dently the production of a mind leng and practically conver sant with the diseases of the most delicate division of the human organization. The security of Happiness in the Marriage State is the chief anxiety of all ; but many dread entering upon the wedded union, through a secret fear of unfitness for the discharge of matrimonial obligations. This essay is most particularly ad dre •sed to all suffering under a despondency of the character alluded to ; and advice will be found calculated to cheer the drooping heart, and point the wav to renovated health.

The retirement - of Mr. Baines from the representation of the borough of Leeds, on the dissolution of the last Parliament, was regarded by his constituents as a subject of deep regret, not more on public grounds than because it was occasioned by the failure of his health through unintermitting attention to his Parliamentary duties. Shortly after that event, a number of gentlemen in the town of Leeds met to consider whether some testimonial of public esteem and gratitude should not be presented to their late representative, not only for his services in Parliament, but for that energetic and unceasing advo cacy of reform and improvement—local, municipal, and national—which Mr. Baines had carried out during a period of no less than forty years—ever since he became the proprietor of the Leeds Mercury. The suggestion of such a tribute of respect and regard was at once re sponded to, and the subscriptions in a short time amount ed to several hundred pounds. We copy from the Leeds Mercury of November 6, the following description of the present : " The present consists of a candelabrum or centre-piece for the dining-table, 31 inches high, and four silver co vered dishes, richly ornamented en suite, weighing toge ther 700 ounces. From the base of the candelabrum, which is triangular, presenting three faces or tablets, rises a group of palm trees, from the foliage of which spring six branches to hold lights. These are surmouted by a highly-wrought bowl, with a border of oak leaves and acorns. Three figures, representing Truth, Liberty, and Justice, vory beautifully executed in frosted silver, occupy the three corners of the base, and give an ex tremely chaste and elegant finish to the design. On one of the tablets is a well executed landscape in bas-relief, with emblems of agriculture in the foreground, and a railroad in the distance. The second is occupied by a printing press (identified with the Mercury by a caduceus), a merchant vessel, woolsacks, bales of cloth, and other appropriate emblems of commerce and manufactures. The remaining tablet bears a suitable inscription." Monday last was the day fixed for the presentation, and the largest room in the town, the saloon of the Music Hall, was fitted up for the ceremony. Shortly after noon Thomas William Tottie, Esq., Mr. Baines, and a large number of the Committee and other friends entered the saloon, and were received by the company assembled with enthusiasm. Mr. Baines was accompanied by Mr. Edward Baines, jun., Mr. Thomas Baines, Mr. Frederick Baines, his sons, and by his sons-in-law. On the motion of Mr. Alderman J. Goodman, seconded by W. W. Brown, Esq., T. W. Tottie, Esq., was called to the Chair. The CHAinmAx, on rising to open the proceedings, was received with reiterated marks of applause. He said, we are met on a very interesting occasion. It is to do honour to an eminent fellow••citizen, who has deserved well of his country.--(Cheers.) I do not consider it my province, as your Chairman, on this occasion, to enter into a detailed statement of the great services which Mr. Baines has rendered to his fellow-townsmen and to the country at large. It will devolve upon those who are better qualified by their acquirements to discharge in a more eloquent and affective manner than I can, that duty. But I may be permitted to say, that through a course of forty years, during which Mr. Baines has held a distin guished and eminent place as a conductor of the public press, that as .a member of the British Senate during three successive Parliaments, in which he faithfully and honourably discharged his duties as a representative of the people—(Hear, hear)—that as a man of unimpeached, and I believe unimpeachable integrity, and of good moral conduct—(Cries of " Hear, hear,")—he has promoted the the cause of liberty and the best interests of his country, and has entitled himself to the respect, esteem, and gra titude of his fellow-townsmen.—(Loud applause.) Un der these feelings I have become a subscriber to, and with every kindly wish towards him and every member of his family, I shall cordially concur with those gentle men around me, and with you, in inviting his acceptance of these public shining testimonials, which, however they may reflect to his mind our sense of his worth, they will but imperfectly indicate the opinion we entertain of his great and eminent services.(Loud cheering.) J. 11. SHAW, Esq., said—Mr. Chairman, Ladies, and Gentlemen, we meet not to raise a party shout in favour of the hero of a future fight, but to convey to one whose Parliamentary career is closed, the deliberate expression of our gratitude for the past.—(Cheers.) We meet to answer that appeal, which, when our friend, Mr. Baines, first undertook the honourable office of our representa tive, he expressed his intention to make. He then told us that he would endeavour faithfully to discharge his duty to his constituents, and that he would return to us to give an account of his stewardship.—(Hear, hear.) That time has arrived; his Parliamentary stewardship is at an end; the account of it is before us; and this meet ing, and these testimonies of gratitude, are the answer of the constituency of Leeds to the appeal of their able, indefatigable, and faithful steward.—(Long-continued cheers.) Gentlemen, they tell him in language not to be mistaken, that by his Parliamentary conduct during seven eventful years, he has not only realised the most sanguine hopes of his old friends, but he has been con stantly and steadily acquiring the respect and confidence of new ones.—(Hear.) They do not tell him (nor, indeed, could it be truly said of any public man) that there do not exist among his friends differences of opinion on some of those important topics on which it was his duty as a legislator to bear part.—(Hear.) Undoubtedly such differences do exist amongst the contributors to these testimonials, as they must exist in every large body, and more especially in a party whose leading principle is freedom of thought.—(Hear, hear, and cheers.) But they tell him this, Gentlemen, that whatever be our dif ferences of opinion on some political topics, to-day, at least, we are an united party.—(Hear.) We are unani mous in the expression of our deep sense of gratitude for the services which he has rendered us ; we are unani mous in the expression of our regret that from the state of his health we can enjoy the benefit of those services no longer.—(Hear.) It would be difficult to point out any tie measure of great piiblic utility which he has not supported, and in many instances, not only by his vote, but by taking an active part in the deliberations of Parliament respecting it, by attending to its progress through the House of Commons, by removing the obstacles that stood in its path, and not unfrequently by introducing valuable improvements which his sound judgment and experience of business enabled him to sug gest.—(Hear.) The first measure to which I shall allude is the great one of Parliamentary Reform.— (Hear, hear.) It was not, indeed, the lot of Mr. Baines to contribute in Parliament to the success of that mea sure, for it was by means of it that you were entitled to send him there.—(Hear, hear, hear.) But he con tributed most materially to its consummation by his labours in the public press and his exertions here. Nor have his efforts for improving the system of registration been confined to this country. They have been applied to another, where, perhaps, an improvement in this respect was even more wanted than it is in England, for there the system was still more defective—l mean to Ire land; and here we have to thank °lir late representative, not only for his exertions in endeavouring, at least, to procure a better system of registration for Ireland, but for his equally valuable exertions in assisting to defeat a measure which, under the appearance of improving the registration, went, in reality, to abridge the franchise. (Hear, hear, and cheers.) Another measure, which Mr. iaines could take no part in Parliament in pro moting, for it passed the year before he went there, was the abolition of the Slave Trade.—(Hear, hear.) But at home he most zealously contributed to the ac complishment of that great act of justice and humanity both by his pen and by his personal exertions. Another measure to the success of which Mr. Baines contributed not only before he was returned to Parlia ment, but which he had the happiness of assisting in carrying into effect by his vote and exertions in Parlia ment, was the measure of Municipal Reform.—(Cheers.) That great measure became the law of the land the year after our friend was sent to the House of Commons, and to those who will examine the records of Parliament during that period, it will appear that he not only voted on every occasion where his vote was required for the passing of it, but that he took an active part in the deliberations of the House respecting it, assisted ma terially in steering it safely through the perils by which it was environed, and introduced, or suggested to others some most important amendments. Gentlemen, there is another measure to which I will advert, for I consider it to be one of the very highest importance, and it is one in which Mr. Baines has always manifested a most lively interest—l mean the question of National Education. — (Loud cries of " Hear, hear.") For several years he was a member of a Committee appointed to carry into effect that most important object. By the incessant and judi cious labours of that Committee many of the difficulties which formally surrounded the question were removed, and although we are still far short of what we ought to do for the promotion of that great purpose, we have arrived at this point, namely, that the duty of the State to provide for the education of the people has been dis tinctly recognised by the Legislature.—(Hear, hear.) Gentlemen, I will not longer detain you by re ferring to the Parliamentary conduct of Mr. Baines. There is, however, one topic which I cann of conclude without adverting to, and if, indeed, I could have forgotten it, (though that is impossible), I should have been forcibly reminded of it by the sight of my friend in the chair, and by the observations with which he opened the proceedings. We have been hi therto considering only the Parliamentary conduct of our late representative, but the public life of Mr. Baines did no t commence in Parliament. — (Hear , hear.) It is a public life of forty years' duration.—(Hear, hear.) He, like your excellent Chairman, is one of that honoured band of veterans in the cause of Reform, who bore its standard and fought its battles in times very different from these.—(Loud cheers.) The task of modern Re formers is easy indeed, as compared with what those veterans had to accomplish, who, through many long years of apparently hopeless struggle, amidst di scouragements and difficulties on every side, and opposed by almost un conquerable prejudices, persevered in the maintenance of their principles, till at last they conducted them to a triumphant issue.—(Hear, hear, and long -continued cheers.) Such men command respect from even politi cal opponents, who know how to value integrity and consistency.—(Hear.) Mr. Alderman G. GOODMAN was received with loud applause. He said—Mr. Chairman, Ladies, and Gen tlemen, with respect to the testimonial which you are about to present to Mr. Baines, I am satisfied that there is nothing in it at all indicative of the value which we entertain of his services. —(Hear, hear.) In that respect it is quite insignificant, but it derives its value from the r fact that it will be handed down to his children, and by them to their childr en ' s child re n, a s a proof of the esti- I illation in which his public and private character, and Ithe eminent services he has rendered to the country, are held by his fellow -townsmen.—(Cheers.) The design of this splendid testimonial is, in my opinion, most happy and appropriate. The palm -tree which we see there depicted is illustrative of a cause in which Mr. Baines has spent so much of his life—the cause of Negro Eman cipation—(Hear, hear)— w hil s t th ose ot h er fi gures , " Liberty," Truth," Truth," and " Justice," are emblematical of the various virtues which we think our late excellent representatives so eminently possesses.—(Loud cheers.) The services rendered byMr. Baines, Gentlemen, did not commence yesterday. His whole life has been devoted to elevating and improving the condition of his fellow men. He advocated the principles of Reform when Re form was very little thought of, and when, indeed, it was dangerous for a man to avow such opinions. With regard to the local improvements which have been effected during the time that Mr. Baines represented us in Parliament, we all know how assiduously he has laboured to promote them, and how much his sound judgme n t an d ex perienc e tended to conduct them to a successful issue. --(Hear.) I do not believe that our late excellent representative can ever altogether retire fra . in public life—(Hear, hear) — and although he now retires from the discharge of those more important and areluois duties, in which he has been engaged, and in t hich his health has suffered on our account, yet I trust we shall find him, by his pen and his personal exertions, continuing to advocate those great measures of civil d religious liberty, and the ac complishment of those 1 improvement s an d r i g ht s , I ca which have so material tended to the benefit of the community.—(Cheers.) i Mr. Alderman BATESON was received with cheers. He said, Mr. Chairman will Gentlemen—l scarcely need remark to you, for you are all qualified to judge on the matter, and probably much better than I am, that there is no gentleman, either in Parliament or out of it, who has more distinguished himself, or who has laboured harder, both early and late, to remove that incubus— that dead weight on the industrial energies of the coun try—l mean the Corn-laws—than our esteemed and venerable friend.—(Cheers.) If that was the only claim he had upon our gratitude, I think he is deserving our highest regard, and I, for oue, tender him my most sincere thanks for the great exertions he has made, both publicly and privately, for the establishment of a sys tem of free commercial intercourse between all the na tions of the world.—(Hear.) In short, Gentlemen, I consider him an honour to the borough of Leeds, and worthy of our utmost and lasting gratitude.—(Applause.) Mr. W. WEST was received with loud cheers. Ile spoke as follows :—I have been requested by the Com mittee for arranging the proceedings on this occasion, to make a few remarks on our late excellent representative, in reference to two very important subjects, General Education and the Abolition of the Slave Trade and Slavery.—(Hear, hear.) And when I trace the progress of popular education in this town during the twenty-five years of my residence here, from the Philosophical Society, which was instituted for the promotion of scien tific and literary tastes and pursuits among the more wealthy and already instructed classes of our townsmen, down to the Infant Sunday School, I find the name of Edward Baines as one to whom we could often resort for active assistance, always for experienced and valu able opinions and advice.—(Great applause.) On the next subject, his endeavours for the Abolition of the Slave trade and Slavery, I can speak with still greater confidence.—(Cheers.) Fer eighteen years I have been Secretary to the Leeds Anti-Slavery Committee, a body whose irregular and fluctuating constitution rendered its activity and vigour more than usually dependent on the steadiness and constancy of a few individuals, among whom our late Parliamentary Representative was ever one of those most to be relied on.—(Hear, hear,) Be lieving that in the distribution of our calls to duty, that field of labour was especially mine, and filling up the in tervals of more active exertion on its behalf, with record ing its forward or its retrograde steps, collecting auto graphs and other documents, and making it, in short, alike a literary pursuit, and one of benevolence, I know the minutest details of its history, better than many equally ardent, perhaps, and far more useful.—(Hear.) Mr. Baines took the same high ground which all must take who plead the cause of the negro consistently and with effect, on religious, on Christian ,principles. There was no sickly sentimentality, nothing like it, " they re semble, it is true, men in shape, but are something be tween man and the lower animals in intelligence, yet we should not therefore ill-treat them."--(Applause.) He asserted their right to the utmost as mon, their consanguinity to the fullest extent as brethren. Amidst hope deferred, expectation disappointed, pro mises broken, when the heart was sick, and with less overpowering, less enduring stimulus than an unalter able sense of duty, the hands would have been faint, he on whose account we are met to-day was one of those on whom we could always depend.—(Cheers.) Nor was the soundness of his judgment less conspicuous than the warmth and steadiness of his zeal.—(Hear, hear.) I re joice that the town of Leeds has possessed such a repre sentative. I rejoice that it has endeavoured to show its sense of his value.—(Cheers.) He is every way worthy of such a testimonial ; the testimonial is not unworthy of him.—(Cheers.) May the rich metal which bears the impress of our gratitude, never flow in another mould. Long may it be ere it pass from him to his descendants; long, very long, may they prize, not the gift itself, but the virtues which earned it, as their best inheritance.— (Loud cheers.) And while joining in the wish that no distress, no reverses, may be so great as to deprive them of this record, may his house and lineage, to the latest generation, be preserved from misfortune which could even tempt them to part with that which thus em bodies our esteem and our gratitude.—(Great cheering, amidst which Mr. West resumed his seat.) H. H. STANSFIELD, Esq., was received with loud and reiterated cheering. He said I consider it one of the proudest days of my life to assist on this memorable oc casion. The Romans decreed their highest honour, the civic crown, to him who saved the life of a citizen. How much more is it due to him who has devoted a long life and sacrificed his health to the public service, and in en deavouring to extend civil and religious liberty to earth's remotest bounds.—(Loud cheers.) I have an hereditary feeling of respect for Mr. Baines, derived from one who zealously co-operated with him when liberal opinions were not so fashionable as they have been of late years, and I have learnt from my father's lips to esteem and ad mire him.—(Cheers.) My own experience of active po litical warfare, in which I have had the honour to fight in the same ranks, has only served to strengthen and confirm those opinions.—(Cheers.) We are not assem bled here on any ordinary occasion. We are not met to celebrate any party triumph, in which personal feeling, too often, is mixed up with public principle. We are assembled on a great and solemn occasion—to confer on a patriot, a patriot's reward.—(Repeated cheers.) I know of no greater reward to a public man, on returning into private life, than the heartfelt consciousness that he carries with him the gratitude, the affection, and the esteem of those who have been benefited by his services. —(Loud cheers.) lam sure it is the fervent wish of every one here that he may be long spared to us, and that he may see the full accomplishment of that which his whole life has been spent in trying to gain—the de velopment of civil, religious, and commercial freedom to its fullest extent.—(Prolonged cheers.) The Rev. R. W. HAMILTON, on presenting himself, was received with the most enthusiastic cheering. He said—Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen—Some of us have, in former times, come together and stood shoul der to shoulder and foot to foot, in many a well-fought field, but this is a day of triumph. We have known the toil and the hazard of the fight. It is far easier to wave the palm than to brandish the weapon; and to vault into the chariot than to drag its wheels.—(Cheers.) Some have entered the field sooner, some later, but we are now all as confederates and allies. But, for this moment, we forget the many in the one.—(Cheers). I might, perhaps, Sir, be entitled to approach the altar of pri vate friendship to-day, and lay upon it a chaplet whose leaves have been thickening through more than twenty-seven years, for Edward Baines is my well-tried friend.—(Loud cheers.) But I rather now ma y ask what title I have to approach the altar of civism and of pa triotism ? I feel I have a warrant, and I hesitate not to declare that I am a des cendant, an d an unworthy Minis tert m isaid—cer tainly yk f thatstr struck communitye w not very greatly preferring the object of his panegyric ith n that to them is owing every spark of civil and r - eligi • • panegyric li ' - berty that now survives—a spark it is no longer —it has kin dled into a blaze, and it seems to fire the zenith a n d the poles. I po es. I shall merely conclude with a • sentiment from an author, who, as philosopher, patriot, and orator, claims our highest homage. In th e second Philippic , against Marc Antony, Cicero says—. I desir e but- two thin gs ; one, that when I die I may leave the Roman people free ; the other, that to every one as he may merit the Roman people shall give the due reward." My excellent friend (addressing himself to Mr. Baines)—far distant be the day of your death, and when you die may you see your countrymen free ; and whatshall ' this da y will receive will prove that neither a republic nor a monarchy is ne cessarily ungrateful ; that though we do not think we can to-day pay our debt, at least we are forward and honest in acknowledging it.—(Loud cheers.) Ladies and Gentlemen, you may well have borne with me for one thing—that I am the last speaker, and you will be detained no longer from the ceremonial of the day. Now you have heard our words, and occasionally, I trust, you have found among us all words that burn—words that spring up full, strong, and impassioned from our, hearts ; but now the words die away in their latest cadence, and we proceed, under the presidency of this veteran patriot, to " the business of the day."—(Loud cheers.) The CHAIRMAN than rose and said—Ladies and Gen tlemen, it now only remains for me, in discharge of my official duty as your Chairman, to offer to Mr. Baines these testimonials from his friends and fellow-townsmen, in admiration of the integrity, zeal, and ability with which lie has advocated the principles of civil and reli gious liberty during a public life of more than forty years, and to evince their gratitude for his important services as the faithful and indefatigable representative of the borough of Leeds in three successive Parlia ments.—(Cheer.) The whole of the audience then rose simultaneously, and continued standing during the ceremony of presen tation. The CHAIRMAN turned to Mr. Baines, and concluded by saying, " May you, Sir, long live, and may your de scendants, to the end of time, enjoy this honourable tes timony of your worth."—(Repeated cheers.)

To such, among others, this essay addresses itself; and, by its perusal, many questions may be satisfactorily adjusted, that admit of no appeal, even to the most confidential friend. To fan the spark of hope, to dissi pate groundless alarm, to restore failing confidence, and point to the means of securing a happy old age,. is no trifling recom mendation of an effort directly tending to the social and moral welfare of all classes of the community.

The unavoidable consequence of this is, that we meet a very considerable proportion of indifferent, useless, and even bad books. With the force of thi s prejudice on our minds, we with no little reluctance were induced to peruse Messrs. Curtis's work, entitled "Manhao I;" nor did it re quire much perusal fully to satisfy us that; the book was not one of the common stamp. The scientific, views taken by the authors of the source and origin of many of the most distressing effects of certain depraved habits, fully es tablish their claim to the character of experienced and judicious surgeons. To quote passages from the work in preof o f our assertion would be departing from the established rules oft-he daily press. The result, however, of our careful perusal of : the work, has been to impress us with a thorough confident e in the talent and skill of the authors, and to satisfy us that those entrusted with the care of youth are not a little inch- bted to them for fur nishing them with a means of preventing some of the most frightful maladies to which flesh is heir.- -Old England. Messrs. Curtis's work, entitled "Mar ;hood," is one of the few books now coming before the public o 1 such a subject which can lay claim to the character of being s' rictly professional, at the same time that it is fully intelligild e to all who read it. The moral and medical precepts given in it, render it invalu able.—Magnet. The perusal of Messrs. Curtis's book entitled " Manhood," has really astonished us by developing; teeries of maladies, the never-failing consequence of the vi. ;ions habit o f w hi c h i t treats. The clear connexion pointed c eit between the assigned cause and the effects is perceptible to every capacity. We strongly recommend the work.—Age. The multitude of books daily cumin e from the press, some, nay most of them of a very questionabl e tendency, made us ex tremely reluctant to take up another. Viaving, however, been induced by the character given of this. work by an intsagent friend, we ventured to open its pages, a nd now feel no hesita • tinn in saying that we arise from its perusal instructed and edified. The clear exposition of the a reirce of many of those diseases which proves so fatal to yea .th, and which are set down by the every-day observer as the result of common causes, such as exposure to cold, sudde; i vicissit u d es o f tempe rature, hereditary taint, &c., is truly convincing and extre mely satisfactory. We say " satisfactoe . y," inasmuch as Messrs. Curtis have shown that many dis ee s 2s , suc h as Pulmonary . Consumption, Epilepsy, &c., hitherto , I the opprobria of medi cine, may, when taken in proper tim, i s and submitted to judi cious treatment, be brought to as ft.vourable a termination as any other class of ffections. Wi t do not think we go too far in saying that society is deeply ii idebted to the authors for producing so useful, so much wanted , so valuable, and so truly moral a book.—Conservative Journa I. We recommend the work entitled " Manhood," &c., t o th e careful perusal of persons of all class es. The moral as well as physical advantages sure to result f roe i such perusal, will be most readily recognised and felt by 110, se who stand most in need of them.—St l atesman. Messrs.

The new Number of " Bentley's Miscellany" for December well sustains its high reputation. It is as various as ever, and numbers among its writers some of the cleverest men of the present day. George Cruik shank, Leech, and Crowquill contribute no less than twelve comic illustrations. The literary contents in clude the graphic Romance of Richard S avage, " which well deserves the popularity it has acquired; the more we sec of this story, the more we are convinced that it is the best which has appeared in the Miscellany since " Oliver Twist." The genius of humour seems to preside over this periodical.

Altogether, this is a capital Number of this popular Miscellany, which will be welcome to every fire-side. The Right Hon. the Lord Mayor and the Sheriffs of London and Middlesex, Messrs. Magnay and Rogers, have handsomely contributed to the funds of the Royal Dispensary for diseases of the Ear, Dean street, Soho-square. Serne idea may be formed of the utility of this Institution, from the fact that upwards of 130 poor patients afflicted with deafness and other affec tions of the Ear. attended the Dispensary a few days since.

When this manifesta tion of feeling had subsicied,he said—Mr.Chairm an, Ladies and Gentlemen—l receive with feelings of the deepest gratitude the splendid testimonial of the confidence and esteem of my friends, my constituents, and my fellow townsmen.- It has been the ambition of my life—l hope not an ignoble ambition —t o deserve the confidence of those among whom that life has been spent, and to merit the estimation of those who have had the best opportunities of appreciating my character and conduct. —(Cheers.) And I am happy to say, that this day that ambition has been gratified to the highest pos sible degree. Sir, you have been pleaSed, in the in scription on this tablet, to declare that for forty years I have been the zealous advocate of civil and religious liberty.—(Hear, hear.) I hope without undue arrogance, that I may venture to appropriate to myself that distin guished.complituent. I have advocated those principles by my pen, by my press, in the Senate, and in the social intercourses of society.—(Hear, hear.) Those principles have been the polar star by which my political career has ',teen directed. Stupendous changes have taken place within these forty years, changes unexam pled in any former period of British history, and abuses have beee uprooted, the growth I centuries, which no thing but the spirit .of liberty could have destroyed. (Hear, hear.) My.excellent friend, Mr. West, has al luded to the abolition of slavery; not only has the slave trade been abolished, which originated in the time of "good Queen Bess," but slavery itself has been expelled from all the colonies under the sway of the British em pire.—(Hear, hear.) My Rev. Friend, Mr. Hamilton—. by whose expression of private friendship I feel highly honoured—in his usual eloquent style, has dwelt upon the establishment of religious liberty —not religious tole ration, but religious libertywe contended for nothing more, and we could be satisfied with nothing less.— (Cheers.) We have seen our fellow citizens of the Roman Catholic persuasion freed. from the disqualifica tions under which they had laboured ever since the Re storation, and invested with all the civil rights and privileges of their Protestant fellow-subjects.—(Cheers.) We have seen the holy sacrament freed from the pro fanation to which it had been exposed for nearly two centuries, by being made the test for secular office, and the Protestant Dissenters, of whom I glory to see so many around me, admitted to an equality of rights with their fellow subjects of the Established Church.—(Loud cheers.) We have seen effected, after a mighty struggle, the great change of all—l mean the reform of Parliament, which may not be inaptly de scribed as the master key of all succeeding reforms— happily effected by the sweeping away of a system of rotten borough nominations the growth of four centuries, and a system of sound Parliamentary representation established in this and all the great cities and towns of the kingdom.—(Loud cheers.) We have seen abolished the prolific causes of strife and discord between reli gious pastors and their flocks extending through the tens of thousands of parishes in England and in Ireland, and which had existed from time immemorial, under the designation of Tithe in kind, and a state of harmony and peace introduced, by the substitution of a system of equitable Tithe Commutation.—(Hear, hear.) We have seen another abuse partially abolished, which has been complained of ever since the Reformation—l allude to the former condition of the labouring part of the clergy. They were deprived of that station in society which they ought ever to occupy, and placed in a state of com parative indigence, whilst the dignitaries of the Church were sustained by means even too lofty for their order.—(Hear, hear.) 'We have seen the additional sum of 130,0001. a-year appropriated to the purpose of aug menting the livings of the poor clergy, not by extracting that sum from the pockets of the people, but from the surplus revenues of the most richly endowed ecclesiasti cal establishment in the world.—(Cheers.) After cen turies of neglect and destitution, unequalled in any country in Europe, we have seen a legislative provision made for the destitute poor of Ireland, by rates on the possessions of the resident and absentee proprietors of that country.—(Hear, hear.) We have seen all the close Corporations in England, Ireland, and Scotland, ' principally held by charters granted in the arbitrary times of the Stuarts, opened to all the burgesses in their re spective municipalities, and placed, as my esteemed friend Mr. Alderman Goodman has said, upon the broad basis of popular representation, with a franchise co-extensive with the paynnt of borough rates.—(Hear, hear.) We have seen the chartered monopoly of the East India Company abolished, and that vast region with its 100,000,000 of inhabitants, at the end of nearly 200 years opened to British skill and enterprise. I may mention another subject in which the inhabitants of this borough took a deep and general interest, and in which I, as their representative, exerted my best energies in Parlia ment; we have lived to see the day when our civil and military functionaries in the East Indies have been freed from the degradation of all connection with, and all par ticipation in, the idolatrous worship of the Ilindoos, by which they had been obliged to degrade themselves and their religion ever since the conquest of that country.- -(Loud cheers.) I will mention one other, and only one other subject in this selection of the reform of ancient abuses. It has been our happiness to live to see the day when the criminal code of this country, so long re sembling the code of I)raco, has been divested of its sanguinary character, and made worthy of a Christian nation.—(Cheers.) I may illustrate the contrast by one fact : in the century between the year 1678 and 1778 there were in this country no fewer than 70,000 public executions, Using nearly two exec u ti o n s f or every d ay, while in the year 1837, about an average year of the last 5, there were only 17 executions. I have spoken of forty years as the era of these reforms, becausethat time is in scribed upon this tablet, but it must be borne in mind that for 30 of those years we were preparing the ground and sow ing the seed, in which your worthy Chairman with myself and some of the senior members of this assembly laboured, and that it has been principally within the last ten years, under liberal, enlightened, and paternal Government, that the nation has reaped this rich harvest of reforms.— (Loud and repeated cheering.) The brilliant trophy before me is principally valuable in my estimation, be cause it is an indication of the bloodless victories that we in common with our fellow-subjects of like principles, have won for this age and for posterity.—(Loud cheers.) These are the triumphs of " truth," animated by the spi rit of " liberty," and directed by the even hand of jus tice," which figures you have so appropriately chosen to indicate the past, and to point out the future course by which the favour of the friends of freedom in this extensive borough is to be obtained.—(Loud cheers.) Much has undoubtedly been done in the cause of Reform and for the improvement of our social system, but much remains to be done. My highly respected friend, Mr. Alderman Bateson, has very properly descanted upon the principles of freedom of commerce, and in com mon with my other friends who have spoken this day, has taken too favourable a view of my services in that cause. Can any of you doubt, judging from the past, that a system of commercial freedom will, if we perse vere in our efforts, ultimately be established in this coun try ?—(Cries of " No, no.") Can you doubt that the corn field to supply the wants of the continually increas ing population of these islands will ultimately become as wide as the range of British commerce itself ? Can you doubt that the pressure of taxation will be arrested in its course, and that the system that has been disclosed to us of augmenting the public revenue by diminishing the ci public res b o u f r . d , e N, ns o will?—(Re newed .ulti.wmaitthelyrebgearacilotpotethdissuperb service of plate, the manifestation of your friendship and confidence, I have no words adequately to express the sense of obligation that I owe to the Committee, and to the contri butors.
