This little work is not only distinguished but contra-distin guished from all others which have preceded it, its pages being exclusively devoted to the curative department, and hence it may be justly hailed as a great national desideratum. It con tains above one hundred choice recipes, adapted to various stages of the complaint , which is divided into three distinct heads and progressive stages of treatment, viz.:-Ist, The cleansing, or detergent ; 2dly, The strengthening, or tonic ; and lastly, The aiterative, or purifying. Into these three grand divisions, theory suggested, and long experience has demon strated, the curat.ire plan ought and must be divided. The treatment of this disease has, for obvious reasons, been hitherto confined to same cordial balm, occult tincture, or talis manic drops, which act merely as a dram—a temporary stimu lus, procured at the expense of the patient's future welfare. The invalid suffering under mental depreision and decay, impotence, and a host of peculiar and inveterate infirmities, comprehended under nervous debility, will find this Pocket Manual written expressly for his use, and adapted to his va rious wants.

The following are a few of the numerous testimonials this popular work has received, and which the limits of an adver tisement will only allow of being published: — The rage for books in all departments of Science, literature, and the arts, was, we believe, never so prevalent as at the pre sent time. The unavoidable consequence of this is, that we meet a very considerable proportion of indifferent, useless, and even bad books. With the force of this prejudice on our minds, we with no little reluctance were induced to peruse Messrs. Curtis's work, entitled "Manhood ;" 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 establish their claim to the character of experienced and judicious surgeons. To quote passages from the work in proof of our assertion would be departing from the established rules of the daily press. The result, however, of our careful perusal of the work, has been to impress us with a thorough confidence in the talent and skill of the authors, and to satisfy us that those entrusted with the care of youth are not a little indebted 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 " Manhood," is one of the few books now coming befor the public on such a subject which can lay claim to the character of being strictly professional, at the same time that it is fully intelligible to all who read it. The moral and medical precepts given in it, render it invelu able.—Magnet. The perusal of Messrs. Curtis's book entitled " Manhood," has really astonished us by developing a series of maladies, the never-failing consequence of the vicious habit of which it treats. The clear connexion pointed out between the assigned cause and the effects is perceptible to every capacity. We strongly recommend the work.—Age. The multitude of books daily coming from the press, some, nay m ost of them, of a very questionable tendency, made us ex tremely reluctant to take up another. Having, however, been induce.d by the character given of this work by an intelligent friend, we ventured to open its pages, and now feel no lieNita tion in saying that we arise from its perusal instructed and edified. The clear exposition s.f the source of many of these diseases which proves so fatal to youth, and which are set down by the every-day observer as the result of common e xposure to cold, sudden vicissitudes of tempe rature,We say 0 satisfactory," inasmuch as Messrs. causes Istuecrhedaitary taint, &c., is truly convincing and m shown that that many diseases, such as Pulmonary hitherto the opprobria of medi cine, sat h is a f t a . c e to ry. cti c C i Consumption, u m m a p y t , i own4eEnPtlaiekPegnYinB'e pr . Oper time, and submitted to judi cious t re atment, be brought to as favourable a termination as any other class of affections. We do not think we go too far in sayi n g that society is deeply indebted to the authors for producing so useful, so much wanted, so valuable, and so truly moral a book.—Conservative Journal. We recommend the work entitled " Manhood," &c., to the careful perusal of persons of all classes. The moral as well as physical advantages sure to result from such perusal, will be most readily recognised and felt by those who stand most in need of them.—Statesman. Messrs.

Parliament was tl• As day opened by Commission, with 'JF LORDS. Aug.. 24. HOUSE the usual, termalit res. It having been generally known for some droys P.: ast, that the state of her Majesty's health ,nit her to open . Parliament in person, the p ee atteacted comp ara tively little - ititereg. AS early as t w e l ve o' c l oc k , a cons id era ble cro wd h a d' col lected the neighbourh o od o f th e two Houses ; and would. when Ai', galleries were op ene d a t half-past one, there t was . s, pretty fair sprinkli ng o f l a di es on the back bane Iles. The scene was by no means so brilliant as on the, occasions when her Majesty came down in state. I 'lost of the ladies wore bonnets; and with the excep tion of the Commissioners, who wore their state robes, 'all the Peers present were in plain dress. Among the earliest arrivals was Lord Campbell, who was warmly congratulated by several of the Peers. Their Royal Highnesses the ,Dakes of Sussex and Cam • bridge arrived shortly befor e t wo o ' c lock. The Duke of Sgiu;sezz shook hands very cordially with Lord Campbell. At two o'clock the Lords Commissioners entered the . House. At this time there ware about 60 Peers present. Prayers having been read by the Bishop of WORCESTER, The Usher of the Black Rod was directed to summon the House of Commons, and shortly afterwards the Speaker and a large body of Members appeared at the Bar. The LORD CHANCELLOR then read her Majesty's Speech; for which see Commons Report. The Lords Commissioners were—the Lord Chancellor, the Earl of Clarendon, the Marquis of Normanby, Viscount Melbourne, and Viscount Dancannon. The Commons having retired, the swearing in of Peers was then proceeded with. Therelvas a considerable crowd assembled in Palace yard to witness the, arrival of the Veers, but there was no demonstration of approval cr disapproval manifested, except' towards the Marquis Isformanby, who was . loudly cheetcd. The LORD CHANCELLOR resumed his seat on the Woolsack a few minutes after Five o'Clock, and imme- diately proceeded to read her Majesty's Speech. The Speech having been again read by the Clerk at the Table, Earl SPENCER rose to move the Address, but spoke Ln so low a tone as to render it almost unintelligible in the gallery. The Noble Earl was understood to say that, in his opinion, the best mode in which a person standing in his situation could perform his duty on or dinary occasions was to avoid, as much as possible, all topics calculated to intercept the harmony of sentiment, so 'desirable on . those occasions. But the present was not an ordinary occasion. The questions which her Ma jesty had directed the Lords Commissioners to sub- _ mit to their Lordships' consideration, were ques tions some of them involving the best interests of the country—interests, many of them of such immense importance to the future prosperity and stability of the country, that he feared it would be neces sary for him, in addressing the House on that occasion, to enter more into detail and argument on those occasions, than he would otherwise have done. He would, however; endeavour so to discharge his duty as to lay himself open to as little objection as pos sible. There were many topics in the Speech which he was quite sure would meet with the concurrence of their Lordships. He was quite sure he should meet with concurrence in expressing the satisfaction they must all feel at the friendly communications her Majesty had received from foreign Powers. He was sure they would all express their satis faction at hearing that a state of peace was preserved in Europe. He was sorry that they could not also con gratulate her Majesty on the favourable termination of the warlike measures we had adopted for our defence in China. That was certainly a point of great difficulty, and one re specting which he 'was sure their Lordships would unite in the feelings of regret expressed by her Majesty. With respect to other topics ; respecting the mediation of her Majesty between Spain and Portugal, he was sure, also, of the unanimous expression of their satisfac tion. With respect to the debt of Canada, it was al luded to in such a manner as to be, he apprehended, a subject more proper to be brought forward originally in the other House ; but he was sure they would concur with her Majesty's recommendation to contribute as far as was consistent with the interests of this country to complete the union that had taken place between the two countries.(Hear, hear, hear.) On this subject he could not avoid expressing his gratification at the ability his Noble Friend the Governor-General, had shown in the conduct of his government.—(Cheers.) It was impossible for him (Lord Spencer), intimately as he had been acquainted with the Noble Lord, not to feel deeply upon this subject. The next topic to which he wished to call their attention, was the effect of the treaty of July. The object of that treaty had been fully attained without involving us in an European war. He confessed that when he was made aware that this country had concluded a treaty to which France was no party—a treaty which involved the necessity of employing force—he con fessed that' he" feared -- it: cold' never be carried out without leading its and Europe into war, one of the greatest calamities which could be' inflicted upon the world. He did feel great raga when he found that the treaty had been entered into, and that France was ex cluded from it—he regretted that his Noble Friend the Secretary for Foreign Affairs had abandoned that line of policy which, during his administration of that office, had secured the peace of Europe and of the world. But he must confess that although he did feel that regret, he did not' do so now. When he read the candid avowal of M. Thiers—(Cheers)—of his motives, and when he considered the w eakness, much greater than he had imagi ne d, o f t h e Pacla of Egypt— when he considered the whole course of events, he confessed that he had been mistaken—(cheers) —and that the Government had taken the proper and only course necessary for the best interests of the country. (Cheers.) He was perfectly ready to avow that he had been mistaken in his views. He was most happy that we were now again connected with France in amity, and were acting with her in our system of European policy. He thought it was the greatest object for the preserva tion of the peace of Europe, for the best interests of both countries that France and England should be united in the closest amity—(Cheers) -- in all negocia tions wherever it was found to be possible ; it was of the utmost importance that we should endeavour to keep on friendly terms with each other, and so really and truly maintain the peace . of Europe. e His firm opinion was that so long as they were united there would be no fear of an European war.— (Cheers.) War he looked upon as one of the greatest of calamities. He did not fear it for he believed that this ceuntry was as prepared f or war as ever ; but he con sidered war not only as a great calamity, but unless it could be most fully Justified h e cons idered it as one of the greatest of crimes. —(Cheers.) He would repeat that be fully believed that this country was not unprepared for war—on the contrary, the state of the country was such, that if the necessity for war should unhappily arise, the state of our resources was such that we could enter upon it quiteasevell, if not in better, circumstances - than formerly. , rt ii-aa-tina that the debt of the country was greatly in creased—it was true that their engagements with the public Creditor were much greater than when they com menced the last war ; but he was sure that, look ing. at 'the state of the country and the resources that were at their command comparing the present wealth and strength of the country . with what it was in 1792—he believed he was justified in saying that the 'wealth of the country had increased much more in proportion than the amount of the debt, and he did not 'apprehend that they had any reason to fear a war. But, as he had said before, war was ' a great crime fo. r any country to be guilty of engag ing in, and therefore it was with the greatest satisfaction he was enabled to congratulate them that they were again united in friendly relations with France, and that the peace of Europe was likely to be preserved.—(Hear, hear.) As he had before said, he believed that the wealth and resources of the country had increased in a greater proportion than the amount of the debt, but, in order to give that wealth its true effect—(Hear, hear) — in order that that wealth might tell, as it ought to tell, upon the prosperity of the people, and in order that it might tell, as it ought to tell, on the burdens that were imposed upon the people—it was necessary that they should take fully and calmly into consideration the mode in which these taxes were imposed—(Hear, hear)—so that they might, if possible, make them press with less severity upon the people. With regard to that question it was rather a diffi cult topic to deal with, and one not very agreeable to any assembly, and to their Lordships it could not be more agreeable than any other—namely, a discussion of the . general principles of taxation and commerce. But it was the duty of the Legislature to look at these ques tions, in managing the affairs of that great country— it was their duty to look at them fairly and steadily, and to see what were the principles upon which the commercial prosperity of the country could be best founded, and to consider whether these. principles were carried out by • the mode in which the' taxation of the country was at present imposed. Their taxation was at present upon the principle of re striction. They had undoubtedly, of late years, to a certain degree, relieved the country from those restric tions ; but they had yet a great deal to do before they were justified in saying that the taxation of the country, and the mode in which it was levied, was based upon the principles of commercial prosperity--(Cheers.) He believed no one objected to what were called the general principles of commercial prosperity. They Is ere founded on argu ments so clear and convincing, that it was impossible for any one to resist them. Every one was agreed that the best course to pursue was to give commerce its free course—not to interfere with the distribution of capital, but allow every man to apply his resources in the manner he thought most advantageous.—(Cheers.) 'this which t principle ho reso h ur a c d es of been proved to be th e b est mo d e i n the country could be supplied It had generally been admitted in arguing this question that general principles were best, but he had found that particular interests required particular principles to be applied. He had had the honour of b e i n g a member of the Committee on Fo reign Conitnerc!, and in that Committee, although all, agreed that- general principles wer e b es t, y e t . he had continually , to contend with differen t sections of the Committee on different subjects. It was admitted that general principles were good, but England, it was said , was so situated that they could not be generally applied.--(Hear, hear.) Now wh a t, he would ask, was the situation of England. It was true it was peculiar in having to pay to th 3 public creditor a great amount ; it was peculiar also in having to pay a large amount of taxes. There was also other peculiarities, but those that he had , referred to were the great ones.—(llear, hear.) It was said that England was so situated that it .was impossible to compete with foreign countries without protection. If. such was the case, was it not, he would ask, most desirable that the burthen of the people should be lightened.—(Hear, hear, hear.) That might be done better by redeeming the annuity which the country had to pay, or to increase the commerce of the country. Such being the case the GP vernment, under the hope of increasing the wealth of the country, and thereby enable it to pay the public creditor, with greater ease, had brought forward in the last Session certain measures : and for his own part he felt bound to say that the very amount of the debt added to the importance of adopting such measures as would increase the means of the country to pay the public creditors.--(llear, hear.) The country was now in a situation in which it ought to endeavour as fast as it could to apply the true principles of free trade. With that view her Majesty had directed the Lords Commissoners to call the attention of the House of Parliament to the subject. In the course of the last session her Majesty's Ministers had brought forward seve ral measures for the purpose of taking of the restrictions on trade, among them was a new arrangement of the Timber Duties. The law with respect to that subject, caused parties in the country to use the worst of timber, &c., may, notwithstanding it had been found even politic to take timber across the Atlantic, fling it back again. —(Cheers.) Was not such a state of the law absurd ?—(Hear, hear.) Now the measure, which had been brought forward by her Majesty's Government would, ff carried, have the -ef fect of giving to the people of England the power of selecting. timber of the beat- description at a reasonable price.—(Hear, hear.) Another measure that had been brought forward in the last session was with respect to the Sugar Duties, and the same obser vations that applied to the Timber Duties applied equally to the Sugar Duties. The effect of the present Sugar Duties was to increase greatly the ex penses of the middle and lower classes, and thereby it in jured the revenue. But it was said if the present restric tion on the . introduction of certain sugar was taken off it would have the effect of interfering with that noble measure which was an honour to this country—he al luded to the abolition of the slave-trade. Now, for his own part, he believed it would have no such effect, and if he thought it would he would be the last person to advocate it. That great measure had done much good ; aut it could never be carried fully into effect until the counrty succeeded in getting other countries to follow its example.—(Hear, hear.) In short, until slavery was extinguished over the whole world.—(Hear, hear.) They must remember that whenever there was a compe tition between free labour and slave labour, free labour always had the advantage. The next question was that recommended to their attention specifically in the speech from the Throne, namely the state of the laws regulating the importation of corn. On this subject the most extravagant opinions had been entertained. The statements on both sides were many of them incon ceivable and impossible. He believed them to be complete and entire exaggerations.—(Hear, hear.) If lie could believe either of them on the one side or the other, al though lie had long been a decided advocate for the re peal of those laws, he certainly should pause be fore he could consent to it.--(Hear, hear.) Depending, as he did, entirely on the produce of the land, and having been always closely con nected with those interested in its produce, he might be biassed in his opinions, but he should say that if any thing like what was alleged by those who promoted the repeal of these laws, or by those who opposed it could take place, namely, that the price of corn would so fall as to throw thousands of acres out of cultivation —he said that in his opinion nothing could be more disad vantageous to the country.—(Hear, hear, hear.) But he was perfectly satisfied that the Corn-laws were no protection to the agriculturists(Cheers and counter cheering.) He did not believe that by the abolition of the Corn-laws the price of corn would be materially altered in this country. He believed there could he no doubt — indeed it was a mere question of common sense—that no article. could .he materially reduted in price, unless in tho course of years the price of. cost was greater than that of produce. Therefore, , whatever might be the most expensive mode of cultivation necessary to supply the wants of the people it must be at a price that would regulate the price of corn. The price in this country depended on the expense of cultivation of the land, on the cost of production. When it was said that the re peal of the Corn laws would throw land out of culti vation, it was forgotten that the worst land, if thrown out of cultivation; because a barren waste. If, therefore, from any change, it was found less profitable to grow wheat, the first land that went out of cultiva tion was anything but corn land.—(Hear, . hear.) , He thought it utterly impossible that the price of .corn should be diminished in any material degree by the pro posed alterations in the existing laws.—(hear, hear.) During the period which the Corn-laws had existed we had imported no less than 11,300,000 quarters of foreign corn, and only 1,300,000 of the whole quantity had been introduced when the duty was above 13s. 3d., that was to say, when the price of wheat in this country was above 695. Their Lordships would see by that calcula tion that from 1515 up to the present time it had never been worth the while of the foreigner to import, corn, unless he was enabled to obtain at least 565. for it free of the duty. These were facts which could not be disputed by any one, although some of their Lordships might contend that • they did not contradict any of their favourite theories. But another case was often stated. It was often said that .in the Channel Islands, the average price of corn did not ex- ceed 41s. No doubt the fact was so, but they would .find that whenever the ports in this country were open the prices in those islands immediately rose, and when they shut they as immediately fell. • Their trade and prices depended on this country, and he (Earl Spencer) did not believe it was possible that any large quantity of corn could be introduced at any materially reduced price. More corn would undoubtedly be grown, but their Lord ships need be under no apprehension of the result. He felt painfully sensible that his arguments would have but little weight with the majority of their Lordships. He, however, had someconsolation in the fact, that during the greater part of his life he had been one of a minority ; but he had always seen that those measures which had been most strenuously urged by him and his friends had been successful.—(Hear, hear.) He felt confident that the question of an alteration in the Corn-laws, and free dom of trade would yet, and soon, be triumphant.— (Cheers.) It might be asked of him what great advan tages he expected from an alteration in the Corn-laws, when he did not expect any great reduction in the price? The advantages he cpntemplated were to be obtained by raising the price of corn on the Continent--(llear, hear.) He wished to see the price raised there, in order that their manufacturers .might not be able to compete with ours, with such advantages as they now possessed, and that they might not be induced to turn their attention so exclusively to manufactures. In his opinion the opening of the trade upon a fixed basis would prove of the utmost advantage to all the interests of this country ; it would increase the prosperity of our manufactures and, consequently, although indirectly, increase the prosperity of the agricultural interest, for in a very great degree they did and must depend upon each other.—(Hear, hear.) But the plan proposed by the Government would directly benefit the agriaulturel interest, for what had the Corn-laws done ? They might prevent prices from falling a little when they were high, but when they were low, the effect was to depress them still further.—(Hear, hear.) Since 1815 there had been no such thing known as any large speculation in English corn. From the uncertainty of the present laws all speculations were confined to corn of a foreign growth. If these laws were abolished, and the prices on the Continent were brought upon something like an equality with those in England specu lations would go on in English corn as well as i* foreign, and that would tend very greatly: to relieve the farmer in depressed ". .j•ears He only hoped that if they did not apprUe of thesq-doe trines at least they would remove them ;Inti'd hesVerot as a landed proprietor, and as one interested in theAftiva tion of the soil.

The people were at present in a state of ' suffering, and that the carrying of the present question would be ultimately beneficial to them and to all parties , he had not the slightest doubt. • (Hear, hear.) He was sure they would prevent the recurrence of many evils engendered by the late contests in the political world, and that could only be effected by a jut and good Go vernment, and by concessions on both sides. But if these measures were delayed too long—if they Olayed to gma that freedom to the commerce of the country. which would enable the persons engaged in it to sit_,seniployment and to circulate capital, the result,' avpnlel lle to drive that capital abroad, and the manufacturing prosperity of the country would be destroyetlHs(Xsoud cheers.) He could hardly conceive anything more cala mitous to that country than such an event.---;.(Loud cheers.)

The. Noble Lord sonclue•l by moving the Address. The Marquis of CLANRICARDE said be could assure their Lordships that he felt most deeply the ;very, difficult and disadvantageous position in which he was placed in rising to second the Address, and how much he needed the indulgence of the House. His Noble Friend who had moved that Address had ad duced sufficient reasons for supporting the only parts upon which any difference of opinion was likely to be entertained ; and as whatever came from him must come with weight, not only on account of his eloquence and ability, but also on account of the important posi tion which he held in the country, as a Peer, as a landed proprietor, and as a statesman—anything which came from him (the Marquis of Clanricarde) on the same subject must appear tedious to their Lord ships. Still, such was the importanee of the topic con tained in the Address, that he could not help stating some of the principal reasons which induced him to give it his cordial support. Upon a great part of the Address he apprehended that no difference of opinion has likely to arise. No one could deny that it was satisfactory to re ceive assurances of pacific inclinations from foreign Powers. It must be gratifying to all that the treaty which was in progress last year had now been virtually ratified. The policy of that treaty had been more than once discussed by, and had received the sanc tion of, the late Parliament. He need not, therefore, detain their Lordships at any 'great length on that sub ject ; but it was satisfactory to know that the difficulties which had occurred in the execution of the treaty had at length been surmounted. It was an act of notoriety that a treaty had been agreed upon between the Four Powers and France in reference to the Dardanelles. The for mal ratification of it, however, had not been received in the last Parliament. It was now, for the first time,- formally announced that the separation of France from the other Powers was completely at an end ; that the dangerous and isolated position in which that country had placed herself had at length been chinged, and that they might now reasonably hope that all those doubts, jealousies, and anxieties, which had been excited in the public mind would quickly subside. Neither could any difference of feeling exist as to the state of our relations with Persia, the evacuation of Ghorian, and the return of the Consul to Teheran.—(Hear, hear,. hear.) In relation to all these subjects there was the best rea son to expect unanimity. But he could not disguise from himself that, in touchinc , upon those other portions upon which the Noble Lord had dilated with so much effect, the sentiments which he would have to express would differ from those of many of their Lordships, and therefore it was the more necessary that he should claim their indulgence.—(Hear, hear.) These topics were unpleasant for him to approach, and he did not know what arguments to select on a subject, on which so much had been written and said by great authorities who had fairly exhausted the subject. But in maintaining his opinions on the subject, he hoped, if he was not unbiassed, his bias would be found to be on that side on which it might be least expected. It was usual for persons talking on these subjects to disclaim all personal feelings, but he confessed that he greatlydistrusted all such disclaimers. Yet, as one whose property and pros perity were involved in land, he implored their Lordships to accdPe to the opinions expressed in the Address, and to the alteration in laws which, in his opinion, did in juriously affect the landed interests. He said the land owners had the greatest of all interest in an alteration of these laws because they affected the prosperity of the whole empire, and if there was one class more than another deeply interested in the general prosperity and wealth of the empire it was the landed interest.—(Hear.) It was true that no portion of the country could profit so directly by the increased wealth of the country as the landed interest.—(llear, hear.) They could set no bounds to the expansion of the commercial interests of the country, but the land could not increase. Expe rience had shown that as the commercial class increased in wealth a portion of their wealth was invested in land, ' and therefore land must increase in value in proportion to the increase of wealth in the commercial class. But he 'contended that the landed interest suffered directly from the operation of these laws. Under them there must be either regular business of a steady, regular Iprofit, or there must be fluctuations. Now, he would I venture to affirm that all reference to the experience of I the present law would show that iu the fluctuations to I which the trade in corn was more or less subject, the profit had never gone to the British farmer ; while the loss, when there was loss, had fallen upon him.—(Hear, hear.) If their Lordships would refer to the tables re turned to Parliament, they would find that of wheat and wheat flour the quantity imported since the passingof this law was nearly thirteen millions of quarters. At the ' same time the average price of corn had been from 565. to 575. But their Lordships knew that this was not the steady price of corn, for in 1834 the price of corn was down to 355. to 365. per quarter. If, therefore, the farmer was to gain, he ought to have gained on those prices, but he (Lord Clanricarde) would show their Lordships that the farmer did not gain by the high price, but lost almost all by it. He found that in the year 1834 the import of corn was only 11,000 quarters, and if they would turn to 1839, they would find the quantity entered for foreign consumption was 594 quarters. But from the returns he found that, of nearly fifteen millions of quarters imported since these laws had been in force, ten millions had been im ported at an average duty of 2s. 100. Now this was what they called the protection of the present law. It was clear from the returns, that when in 1834 the price was as low as he had stated, the British farmer sold all his corn, but when it was at a high rate, foreign corn came in on a sudden, the averages were worked up pur posely to let thorn in (but that was another considera tion), and whon the people had been kept in want sonic time, foreign corn came in, and was sold at a high price, while that of the i eßritish farmer was sold at a low price. He said, thereate, that the British farmer sustained a loss, and that the protection at present was entirely ficti tious. But another view to be taken was that of supply. If they wished to give the British farmer a monopoly to supply the market with corn, they ought to see that the market was supplied by the farmer, and that they were able to derive a sufficient supply from home to meet the wants of the people.—(Hear, hear.) Now, it was notorious that the harvest of 1838 was a deficient one, while that of 1834 was a most productive one. ' It was clear that the harvest of 1834 did not pro duce more corn than the people wanted for their con sumption • and, according to the calculations that had been made, there was a deficiency of no less than five millions of quarters in 1838. 'Now, such being the fact, what was the inference to be drawn from it ? Why, that there was not a sufficiency of corn in the country at that time to feed the people, and that consequently they were starving. The fact was, that this country at the present moment was dependant foi corn upon a foreign supply, and the question was, whether they should still keep up the re strictive system, or by new laws enable the country always to have a sufficiency of wheat for its consump tion. But then it was said that the alteration of the laws might have the effect of closing foreign ports against this country. He could not believe that any such result would ensue. Among the many evils of the present existing laws was the derangement which they occasioned to the commerce of the country, and he thought that it would be admitted by all that the sooner the cause of that derangement was re moved. How were our manufactures to prosper if the Corn-laws were to be maintained? He agreed with his Noble Friend who preceded him, that even if the propo sitions of the Government were to be carried into effect, the price of corn would not be lowered to such an extent as many feared; but still if our manufacturers had fair play, by being allowed to trade in corn with the fo reigner, the markets for their productions would be very greatly extended, for the invariable answer of foreign Governments, when asked to alter their tariffs, was, " Look at the duty you place upon our staple commo dity." The consequence of these laws was, that foreign countries drew from us our best mechanics and artisans. They imported our skill and machinery in order to enable them to make these goods for themselves, which they would be most happy to take from us ready made if they were allowed to pay for them by their produce. It might be said that might be done. All the good might he effected by altering, by lowering the sliding scale ; I z ;but if they lowe red it so far as to be of an y use, delusio n practised upon w ould be a mere he farmer.—(Loud cheers.) H e 1 lor trusted their dships would speak out fully and freely. The Ad dress before their Lordships spoke f ran kl y , freely, and Mainly—rnore so indeed thaw any document of a similar *l elature which had ever come before their Lordships. Let their Lordships imitate it, and if they were determined 'not to agree to the principles it embodied, let them say t lo boldly, and carry out their intentions by introducing 4 the word "not' in a few placess—(A laugh.) Ile called i iiipon their Lordships to take that course, because, in watching the conduct of the leading men in the political world, lie thought that they had treated that most im portant question in a very unbecoming manner, Such a course would be unworthy of that House; therefore he trusted their Lordships would speak out and tell the people plainly what it was they intended to do. Some 1 time ago many predicted that the House of Lords was I to be annihilated, and the aristocracy- abolished ; he had never participated in those fears, but he would say that if men in high places practised such evasion upon the people, ` they would give a. greater blow to the aristocracy than any which it had yet received. T he p art y who sat op ,osite might Say their conduct wa s well kn o w n , and they would continue to give that protection to agricul ture which it required, but that would mean absolutely nothing. It became them, filling such a high station, to come forward, and setting aside all subterfuge or evasion to state plainly and without reserve what their intentions were. He was most anxious that they would avoid taking such a course of evasion as had lately been pursued. Let them agree to the Address whether they meant to alter the Corn-laws or not, and if Ministers were to be turned out their Lordships might do so upon a vote of confidence immediately after.—(Laughter.) All ho wanted was, that that House should not equivo cate upon a matter so important ; that they should speak out openly and plainly, and not take a course w hich would deceive the agriculturalist; yet at the same time leave it open to them to see whether it would be better for them to please the country or their party. — (Cheers.) If the Ministry were to be overthrown, he was glad that it was to be upon so very important a question. When he looked back at what they had done 1 . within the last ten years—when he saw they had carried ' .. a Reform which, twelve year s ago would nave been thought chimerical—when they had rendered a return to the old borough system impossible — when he saw the Municipal Corporations vehn had much money in their power, and which it was proved they had frequentlyspent in corruption, fully reformed--, when he saw the manner in which the Tithe question. had been settled both in Ireland and England—when he saw the Church in both countries put on a better footing—when he recollected that the Ministry had ef fected all these and other great changes which had been for the benefit of the country—he did feel that they could not finish their Ministerial career in a more credit able or more fitting manner than by falling in a struggle: against an unnecessary, and therefore unjustifiable and, odious monopoly. Therefore it was that he prayed their Lordships to meet the question at once—to state, if they could, their reasons against the opinions he had ut tered, and by freeing the energies of the people, and enabling them to pay into the Treasury a sufficient revenue in a manner that would not be bur densome, to avoid the necessity for further taxa-- tion.—(Hear, hear.) He wished their Lordships would. state their opinions and objections to these measures in. a manly, firm, creditable, and straightforward manner„ and not to leave the country in doubt as to their inten tions, if, unfortunately, they should reject the Address. (Loud cheers.) . The Earl of RIPON agreed in the opinions expressed by the Noble Lords who had moved and seconded that. there were matters in the Speech delivered by the. Lords Commissioners to which it was not at all likely their Lordships would be at all disposed to object, and cer tainly he would have been prepared to follow the ex ample which of late years had been generally fol lowed, of acquiescing in the whole of the .Address, except in so far as any particular qualification or re servation of opinion might deem fitting. He confessed he should rather have pursued that course' at present. than take the course he was about to take, of objecting' to certain portions of the Address, and submitting to. their Lordships an amendment upon this. The portions. to which his Noble Friend referred as likely to receive the general concurrence of the . House were those refer ring to the state of their foreign relations, and un doubtedly he must say that he had heard with great satisfaction that these relations which happily for many years existed between France and other countries, more especially England,had been restored to the State, notwith standing the casual interruptions which had last yeer taken place. They owed much of that to the prudence,. the discretion, and the judgment of his Majesty the King of the French—(Cheers)—they "owed much to the en lightened Ministry by whom he was surrounded, who had by their discretion and just appreciation of the po sitionl of France with regard to the rest of Europe put an end for a time at least, and he hoped for a long time, to those dangers upon which rasher counsels and less. scrupulous minds would have risked the peace of Europe -(Cheers.) Therefore he was rejoiced to find that they- were relieved from any ground of apprehension on that score, and he should be still more rejoiced if the actual result of the arrangement for what was called the paci fication of the East should turn out to have had that effect. But their Lordships might find that after all the Pacha of Egypt was a most powerful vassal, and the Grand Seignor a most powerless Sovereign, and that the integrity, and the maintenance of peace depended not. only upon him, but essentially on the permanent inter position of the great Powers of Europe. It was not permitted by them to say how long that state of things might last. He was sure it was for the interest of all parties that it should last, and he believed that all the Powers bound in that league had shown no disposition to part from its provisions. He concurred also in think ing that it was a fortunate circumstance that the relations. with Persia appeared to be restored. His Noble Friend. seemed to intimate that some matter still remained to, be adjusted, and he hoped speedily this would be the case. But he attached the more importance to the settlement of that question, because it had a very great bearing upon another matter connected with their his tory, with respect to which, to his great surprise, the Speech was entirely silent. He meant that extraordinary war which was goiner on in Afghanestan, the object and results of which were equally obscure. — (Hear, hear.) True, there had been a certain flush of success, and it was true that British arms had placed upon the throne a miserable degraded puppet, totally unfit to administer the affairs of the country over which he ruled. A British army was still maintained there hundreds of miles from their own territory, in no small danger, and surrounded by parties who looked with jealousy upon the puppet they had placed upon the throne. What was the state of the Punjaub ? In consequence of a treaty which they had entered into. with Shah Shooja and their dearly-beloved ally Ilunjeet Sing, they had made war on that territory; they had incurred an enormous expense, which he be lieved had absorbed all the spare treasure of India, and had compelled the Government to have recourse to a great loan, not a very respectable position to be placed in. The Punjaub was in a state of confusion, and there they were planted, and no man could say how soon they might think it wise to retire, or how difficult they might find it.— (Hear, hear.) Not a word of these matters was men tioned in the Speech, or of the great armaments got together to carry on these undertakings. The next matter was the war in China, and that was a war of a very curious kind. It was carried on at a vast expense, under many very great difficulties, and against an enemy who , would not fight. They knocked his castles about his ears, they burned his ships, and called on him to sub scribe to terms, which they said their dignity compelled them to exact—he promised to do so, they be lieved him, and it all came to nothing. They had sent a large force there which took possession of an unde fended island. Hundreds of men died there—(Hear. hear)—and the rest were sent away under the impres sion that everything was done. They then went to Canton, and a treaty was made, which ended in no \ thing. They were told by her Majesty's Government. last year that they had ratified a treaty, and their si- I tuation was, not that they were at war, but that their negotiations for peace had not succeeded. ' They were again at war, and her Majesty's Government had not told them what the war was about. He knew not why they had failed—whether it was the blundering of the instructions or of those who were to execute them. Now there were two questions, the war in Affghanistan and the war iu China, which would justify him it' they stood alone in moving a vote of want of eons fidence in her Majesty's Government. There was an other point, the state of their affairs in the Mediterra nean, about which he would not say one word, as it w as calculated to be productive of serious evil. He now came to that part of the speech on which his Noble Friends anticipated that there would not be an unanimous vote, and he was not surprised at the anticipation, as under all the circumstances it was impossible that it could be an unanimous vote. It embraced the revenue, the general trade and commerce of the country, and, according to the views of her Majesty's Ministers, these three questions were linked together. it was said that these measures were pro posed to meet the difficulties of a great financial crisis, and if he thought they were cab ulated to do so, he should hesitate in proposing any amendment. But it was beeause he believed that this wes the greatest possible mismanagement of the public finalises that he called upon their Lordships to say that her Majesty's Government did not possess the confidence of the country.—( Hear, hear.) For the last four years the re venue had been constantly less than the expenditure, and the excess had been less that five millions up to the sth of April last, and it was most singular that the measures taken to meet the exigency were nothing unjustifiable. How had the de ficiency been supplied ? Principally by tampering with the savings , banks, by borrowing money from them, or a process equivalent thereto, and changing the Exchequer Bills into a part of the permanent debt of the coon ry. He admitted it was competent for the Treasury to do so; but to do it without the knowledge of Parliament for a series of years was, in his opinion, an unconstitutional proceeding.—(Bear; hear.) These savings banks were the places in which the hutribler classes placed a portion of their savings, in order to gild the evening of their laborious lives, being induced by the Acts of the Legislature to entrust those savings to the pub lic custody. But if the Government has the power to take them tar other purposes, what security had these poor people? He thought such conduct was quite u njustifiable. Another mode adopted by the Government was diminishing the balance in the Exchequer, which he thought a very impro vident mode of dealing with a deficiency. During the course of the last ten years, an addition had been made to the funded debt of about one million per ennum,"for which no p rovision was made. That was first done when there was a positive sur plus ; but for the last four years, when there was none, it had added to the deficiency. If to thoseeneasures were added the h7 4o ty o, a oo do w pt . io o n r onfearly the Post-office s cheme, it would amount to 2 al l t h a t was required to meet the defi ciency i n the last Parliament. In all these matters it appeared to hi m a want of common foresight and precaution.—(Hear, hear.) He had referred to thesem attersonorw : occasion, and his Nob le Friend opposite had admitted most of his facts and sta tements ; and alt h ough he had not ad mitted all of them, he had not refuted any. When he found the finances of the c ountry so mismanaged, t he thought. he was ) justified in asking their , Lordships her r . dshipsoF a vote of want of ti dence.—( Hear. 1 1 Majesty's Government pro posed to meet 1 t h e exigency of the case by a considerable addi tion to the taxes. That had been done in a very clumsy and common -pl ace manner, and it was ultimately admitted that it had not answered the proposed object. There was one eircum ceconnected with this matter which was announced on the 2t of the Government, so far as the finances were concerned. ti e e vent the negotiations for a commercial treaty with France, which were then going on. This announcement took place when the Budget was opened, and there taxes were imposed. Now, if that treaty had been carried into effect he would undertake to say that it would have been absolutely necessary to have called upon Parliament to undo a great part of what they had done; but, however, that difficulty did not occur, because the treaty was put aside. He now came to the present year, and nere he found that the deficiency remained the same —no, not the same, for it had accumulated; and then the Government came for ward with a plan which they professed to consider as one which would put the revenue on a sound footing. That plan consisted in an alteration of the duty on the three ar ticles to ahich his Noble Friend had alluded ; and it was stated on the part of the Government that the alteration would have the triple effect of improving the revenue, extending commerce, and benefitting the consumer. It would not be difficult to show that not one of these measures could by possibility have effected these of jects.— He would point out, for example, the mode in which it was proposed by the Government to deal with the question of tim ber. They said, and said truly, that the proportion between the duty on foreign timber and Canadian timber was unduly great. lie was not disposed, in the abstract, to deny that the duty might requi -e recision —(Ministerial cheers)—but what he questioned, was the policy and prudence of the mode in which the Government proposed to do it. They proposed to increase the duty on Canadian timber from 10s. to 205., and to reduce the duty on Baltic timber from 555. to 50s. Now, his Noble Friend stated what was perfectly true, that although Canadian tineber was not fit for certain purposes, there was a great deal that was exceedingly useful, and in exact proportion as ihe duty had the effect of causing people to substitute Baltic timber for Canadian timber, would have keen the effect of the measure in increasing the revenue ; but it would not increase the interest of the consumer, so far as related to colonial timber. Then, how far would it affect the interest of the consumer of importsre tiber? Mr. Macgregor, in his evi dence before the I Duties Committee, propounded a scheme for altning the duties, which he (the Earl of Ripon) believed was the 5, undation of this Budget. lie stated that the duty on Baltic timber varied from 50 to 200 per cent. Now ta ke 100 per cent., w as t here any person who did not , know that a reduction of ss. in Ws. in an article like that might go into the pockets of the builder, but could be of no I benefit to the consumer.—( Hear, hear.) Therefore in his oi , inion, the scheme could never answer the three ends ! proposed ; and with respect to the trade, is exact proportion as WHITEHALL, AUGUST 21.

Michael sat down with no little pleasure, while Sheridan slipped out, walked over to Michael's house, and ordered up din.. ner, saying to the servants, " Your master is not coming home this evening." . He made an excellent dinner, came back to the House, and, seeing Michael look expectant, went to release him. saying, "I am sorry to have kept you; for, after all, I believe this matter will not come. off to-night." Michael instantly walked home, and heard to his no little consternation, when he rang for dinner, "Mr. Sheridan had it, Sir, about two hours ago." o f Wilberforce.
