HomounED n, BEG leave to inform you, that ever since the X year 1790, I had been afflicted with the Lues Venereal, which, ft om its obstinately resisting every course of medicine prescribed by the most eminent of the faculty here, and un dergoing severalsevere courses of salivation, and twice ,lis charged'from the Hospital with little relief, would appear to be of the most inveterate mature.

THE LINNIEAN - SYSnIII of CONCHOLOGY, &c. By JOHN 111AvrE. One Volume, Bve. There never was any period when the liberal, but more especially the natural Sciences, were more generally cultivated than they are in the present day. Almost every branch of these inte resting and amusing pursuits have, of late years, been brought within the reach of the meanest ca pacity. We are fully disposed to hail this evi dent mark of mental improvement as the har binger of a better state of society. Great, indeed, are the advantages which the community must, of necessity, derive from a better acquaintance with the admirable works of " Nature's God." The contemplation of the varied productions which Nature every where unfolds to our admiring eyes, are well calculated to fill the mind with religious, and consequently With useful ideas. In an age, when infidelity stalks openly abroad ; when a set of mischievous men labour to over turn social order, by eradicating religious prin ciples, the wisdom, the power, the goodness, dis played throughout creation, cannot be too fre quently brought before our eyes. To every feel ing and reflecting mind, the contemplation of nature is an unanswerable argument to prove the existence of a Creative Power. The sophism of a pretended philosophy, whose only merit con sists in absolute scepticism, may delude Or bewil der the understanding ; hut the contemplation of nature, by speaking to the heart, carries irresist ible conviction to the mind. In our age, when general information is be come, as is were, the fashion, no person that has received any thing like a liberal education can wish to remain ignorant of, at least, the rudiments and outlines of subjects to which even children are introduced when they first begin to read. Did the powers of the human mind keep pace with the facility afforded to store it with useful know ledge, the rising generation would far surpass all those that have preceded it in mental acquire melts. Whether this may or may not be event ually the case, is foreign to our present purpose. As it cannot possibly be denied that the acqui sition of knowledge must tend eminently to im prove the human mind, our best thanks are due to tho se persons who devote their time to bring such acquisition within the reach of every indi vidual. To create a general taste for scientific pursuits, a plan has been adopted which could scarcely fail of being crowned with complete success.— Aware that the only chance of enticing youth into the hitherto rugged paths of knowledge was by removing out of sight all that rendered its access difficult, and its •aspect forbidding, ele mentary works have been brought forth, in which the thorns are scrupulously concealed, whilst the fl o wers were teniptingly ex hibit e d to the w ind's eye. Thi s has been more especially the case in the various branches of Natural History. That the dues, a t first sight, present uty o st particular i a r t Ni trz l tc t t ue i r ens, it is impossible to deny, and there are no sciences so likely to captivate the youthful mind. But at this early and ini ii:rertattlite Pe p t r i et d l out altitf t P, D i a r ss l i o o l n e s t . ic_e t x t a v t o o l v a e t r ilit i y s novel attracts, but all that appears difficult either discourages or disgusts. 'T r uce, with whatever facility' the infant mind may be taught, if labour occur where nothing on, pleasure was expected,. Elm pursuit is immediately abandoned. It it by bringing down more to their level the steps which lead to the temple of knowledge, and by remov ing all the obstacles that might create dislike, that well-informed men have smoothened the road to science, and consequently rendered an essential service to mankind. The Work which it now before us is intended to facilitate the study of Conchology, which is one of the most attractive amongst the natural sciences. Mr. M Awe is wel!-kowu as an accu rate observer of Nature ; and his fine collection of natural productio ns , together with the numer ous correspondents lie has in foreign parts, afford him ample means of examining, the objects he has to describe. In the present Work, in which the Linnxn arrangement of shells is illustrated, he seems to have spared neither research nor ex pence to render it useful and acceptable to the public. The description of each genus is clear, and . sufficiently elaborate; and along with the simple name of each species, is given its trivial appella tion and its locality. The whole is embelished with numerous plates, in which the accuracy of the design, and the beauty of the colouring, are no less creditable to the artist employed than they are ornamental to the work, and useful to the student. A. P. A noble palace is about to be built at the Hague for the residence of his Royal Highness Prince FstE DSRICK of the Netherlands. The story of the murder of 11 persons by /2 assassins, at a farm-bouse in the neighbourhood of Paris, is contradicted in the same paper from which we quoted it on Monday. V RGIN ROCKS.—The existence of these rocks being doubted by some, and their situation not being very ge nerally known, it may be important to masters of vessels trading to Newfoundland, to quote the following extract of a letter, addressed by Arthur Kemp, master of the brig Indiana, of Dartmouthoo the publisher of the Newfoundland Gazette:— On Oct. 23,1823, at meridian, I left Cape Broyle, after a strong Tale from S.E., with the wind at 'W.N. W., steering S.E. by S. he following morning, at 8 a. to., having run 84 miles, I was alarmed with the cry of " Breakers a-head.," and almost imme diately saw them to such an alarming extent as obliged me to alter the course from 6. E. by S..to E. by N., it not being possible to clear them on the other tack. After giving the breakers a good birth, and leaving them to the southward, distant four. miles, I hove the main-topsail to the mast, and lay by from 10 o'clock till meridian, and observed in latitude 41$. 35. long. 50. 51. ; the extent of breakers appeared to be about two ;miles, and were more tremendously alarming than I have ever experienced during 23 years that I have (chiefly in this trade) commanded a vessel," PA Itt, 1 A N 114..; NT, HOUSE OF LORDS, FEB. 17. Their Lordships sat from ten o'clock till four hearing Counse l on the Queensberry case. They again met at five o'clock, but only to adjourn till.to-morrow. HOUSE OF COMMONS. A person brought from the Bank an account of the number and value of the Bank-notes at present in circulation ; and an. other person brought certain returns from the Court of Chan cery, relative to the arrears of business in that Court. They were ordered to be printed. COAL DUTIES. The Sheriff's of London and Middlesex appeared at the bar of the House with a petition from the Lord Mayor, Aldermen, and Commons Of the City of London, in Common Council as sembled, praying for relief from the existing Coal-duties. Mr. Alderman WOOD, in moving that this petition be broaght up, expressed a hope that the Chancellor of the Ex chequer had already received a sufficient number of petitions to induce him to take off' this unjust and partial tax. The jabs bitants of other parts of the country were equally clamorous for the abolition of the duty on coals, though they were not suffer ers from it to the same degree as the inhabitants of London and Westminster. Indeed, the unequal severity with which it pressed on the inhabitants of the metropolis was evident from this fact—that the cities of London and Westminster paid three fifths of the whole duty upon coals levied throughout the king dom. He trusted that it was unnecesary to say more to the Chancellor of the Exchequer to induce him to give some relief to the present petitioners. The petition was laid on the table, and ordered to be printed ; as were three similar petitions--one from the ward of Aldgate, presented by Mr. Alderman BRIDGES; another from the ward of Cripplegate, presented by Mr. Alderman WOOD; and a third from Shaftesbury, presented by a Member whose name we could not learn. Colonel DAVIES gave notice, that on Wednesday, the 23th, he should move for an account of the manner in which certain sums of money, taken from the indemnity paid by France to this country, had been expended. IRELAND. Mr. JOHN SMITH was understood to say, that on Mon day the Ist of March, he should move that there should be taken a survey and valuation of Ireland. Mr. CUR WEN postponed till to-morrow his motion relative to the Criminal Law of the Isle of Man. Mr. HUME moved for a Return of the number of Mid shipmen promoted to Lieutenants, of Lieutenants promoted to commanders, and so on through the various grades of service in the Navy, to the rank of Admiral, from the Ist of January, 1823, to the Ist of January, 1824, stating the name of each officer, and the time of service in his various ranks ; also for a similar Return of the ntunbor of promotions in the Royal Ma rine Corps ; also for a Return of the number of Masters and Warrant Officers promoted to the rank of Lieutenants, since the late Order of the Board of Admiralty on that subject, specifying the number of years such officers had served.—. Ordered. GAME LAWS Mr. S. WORTlE'Cre:pursuant to notice, to bring in a Bill to amend the laws for the preservation of game. He con sidered nothing to be more important to the happiness, the well. being, and the moral character of the c ountr y , th a n an imme diate revision of these laws. Though he was by station a coun try gentleman, and had for many years past been a strict pre server of his game, he was convinced that these laws might be so amended, as to enable individuals, who were anxious to pre serve their game, to preserve it with greater ease and satisfac tion to themselves, and with leas prejudice and detriment to the country, than they could ever hope for under the present sys tem. G a me had hitherto never been considered in this coun try as property, but had been protected by a code of law pecu liarly its own. Now the first principle of his Bill was to make game as nearly property as its nature would admit; and he therefore gave to every person on whose land game was reared, permission to act with it as he pleased. From this a permission to dispose of game ilile kobeeten promulgated throughout the country, e after the evidence which had been arl for followed C o otnniittee of that House, and which shi fi i b s dwo t mop d u elpstn l itrneinden:l be madness to suppose that game was not sold, an d a s regularly supplied to the market as any other luxury. _lndeed, after the Report of the Game Committee, no delicacy of feeling could prevent any man - from purchasing game ; and it was quite evident that no blame could possibly attach to any of their friends in large towns, who thought lit so to purchase it. He did not apprehend any of the evil conse quences which some gentlemen anticipated from legalizing the sale of game, ac he proposed that no person should sell it with out being provided with a licence. It was his intention to do away with all qualifications arising from land.—(Hear, hear !) —and to put the law upon nearly the same footing ns it now rested on in Scotland. By the law of Scotland, every man is allowed to kill game on Ins own land, and any man who pos sesses a plougligate of land has a right to give another leave to shoot upon it. Now, he intended to give the same right to any man who Was in possession of a certain quantity of land, which might be hereafter determined. The Hon. Member then de tailed certain alterations which he intended to make in the law relative to the appointment of gamekeepers, but with a voice so very inarticulate as to be inaudible in the gallery. He in tended to give to the owner of the land a summary remedy against all trespassers—to make the persons so trespassing liable ' to a penalty, if they refused to give their names upon demand, and to increase that penalty, if upon trial of the information it were found that they had given false names. The Hon. Gen tleman then observed, that there was one description of persons of which there was a very great number in this country, whose occupation led to more vice and wretchedness than was to be found in almost any other class.—(Hear, hear !)—He alluded to those persons who went out at night poaching.—(Hear!)— Those persons, in his opinion, ought to be severely punished, and, (as we understood) the punishment should be varied for the first, second, and third offence. It would, he be lieved, have an excellent effect, if those who were detected were, in the first instance, obliged to enter into recognizances to abstain from such Practices in. future. Nothing was so likely to prevent a poacher from carrying on this trade, as the recollection that some friends or relations were bound over with him for his good behaviour. It was a system practised in several other cases ; and persons disposed to offend in a par ticular manner, were often stopped from committing crime, by the recollection, that if they erred, others would suffer for their misconduct. He was not aware that he had spy thing farther to state. He might, however, observe, that when he proposed to place the sale of game in the hands of licensed persons, he had not stated how or to what extent that was to be effected. Ile had merely laid down the principle on which he meant to proceed. He would put it to those gentlemen who were satis fied with the present state of the law as sufficient for the pro tection of game, whether the practice of poaching was not hourly and. daily on the increase ? Law had followed law, one more severe than another ; but still the evil had increased. —(Hear, hear !)—The more they looked into the subject, the more clearly would they perceive the truth of the facts stated before the Committee, and the subsequent necessity of alter ing and amending the law. The Hon. Gentleman then moved " for leave to bring in a bill to amend the laws for the Preser vation of Game." Sir J. SHELLEY did not rise to oppose the bringing in of the bill ; but he must, in the outset, protest against the principle on whi-h it proceeded. If this bill were carried, game would soon disappear, and those field-sports to which country gentle men were so much attached would be effectually destroyed. On the second reading, he should certainly take the sense of the House. He begged of his Hon. Friend to put off the second reading of the bill for some time. Gentlemen in various parts of the country were extremely anxious on this measure, and an opportunity ought to be afforded them to state their sentiments. Let not gentlemen suppcse that game alone would be affected by the proposed alteration: The fact was, that if it were car ried, fox-hunting also would be destroyed.—(A laugh.) Mr. S. WORTLEY was desirous to obtain the opinion of all persons who were concerned in. the measure, and with that view would allow as much time as could conveniently be spared. But his Hon. Friend would recollect, that besides the class he had alluded to, there was a very large body of persons —name ly, the public—who were interested'in this measure. It was undoubtedly of importanceto that body, that the question should be decided as early as possible.—(Hear !)—He hoped - I°l4ring on the second reading before the holidays. ". Sir J.

Lord NUGENT said, ir. laying before the House the grounds of the motion of which he had some days ago given notice, he must begin with stating, that he did not mean to animadvert on the vote to which the House had agreed on the first night of the session. This, however, lie must say—that with - respect 'to that part of the address of his Majesty's Ministers whichregarded the neutrality of this country between France and Spain, he felt entirely with his Honourable and Learned Friend '(Mr. Brougham), who on that night so forcibly and so eloquently expressed his sentiments,—he felt with him,. that it was very difficult indeed to concur entieelyin the terms of an address which could see nothing but a subject of congratulation' in the result of the policy pursued by this country during the war which had just terminated. He thought, on the one hand, that the po licy which Government professed to adopt towards Spain, was, from the outset, very little suited to the high and energetic tone which this country ought to assume to herself; and, on the other, he could not help thinking that our conduct, -ingot ad hering to that intonded policy, had been most insincere and un worthy. He could not persuade himself but that the course taken by Ministers had beer most hostile to the cause of Spain —that cause, with reference to which they had expressed them selves determined to remain neutral on several occasions. This country had been exposed, in consequence, to the reproaches of every friend of liberty, and to the scorn and contempt of th ose Powers who had, unfortunately, triumphedagainst the freedom . of Spain. The result had been as injurious to the interests of England as to those of the conquered country. He could not but deeply lenient, that Spain had been allowed to fall, almost without a blow. She was not ruined by the actual hostility of this country ; hut by being, as lie believed she had been, de ceived by the hollow professions of neutrality which were held out by this country. He did not think he could fail in making out a case for the production of the papers which he meant to conclude by calling for. He thought it right to state, that, in the course of his observations, he meant not to contra dict, in any respect, those words of his Majesty's speech in which it was said, " that, in the strict neutrality which he determined to observe in that contest, he best consulted the true interests of his people :" but he would argue, that in the course of those transactions, the Govern ment of this country had made themselves parties against Spain, at the most critical end important moment of her history. The last Session came to a close without this House being able to look fairly at the character of the neutral policy, as it was called, which had been adopted. Unanimous as they were at that time, in their disapprobation of the unjust and violent aggression which was then meditated against that state, it was impossible for them to forsee the conduct which Ministers meant to pursue. They were prepared for Ministers de clining to take any part in a foreign quarrel, although in that quarrel were involved questions of principle most import ant to England—most important to all free states—ques tions of principle on which, indeed, the independence of all free states mainly rested: but they were not prepared then for a gratuitous departure from a professed neutrality—they were not prepared for a course of conduct which was every way-in jurious to our interests. The language of Ministers led them to suppose, that if they did not take that more generous part which appeared to some better befitting. the ancient character and liberal policy of this country, they would not, at least, de scend secretly and covertly to become the partisans and assist ants of France in her unprincipled aggression. How far they had done so, was now to be inquired into. The useless regrets which had been expressed by the other side of' the house—th e vain lamentations which had been poured forth over the fate of Spain—were but a poor atonement for the evils which, he be lieved, this country so mainly contributed to bring upon her. They could not disguise from their own feelings this fact—that owing to the course which had been taken, Ministers must be considered as theprincipal spoliators of the Peninsula. They had given to the French those advantages which they well knew how to make use of; and, -by doing so, they had given up the strongest grounds of the prosperity and security of their country. He meant not to advert to what took place last year—he would not touch on the many compliances which were then unfor tunately made by Ministers on questions of principle the mos: essential to our welfare as a free state—he would not allude to the abandonment of all those real and effective means which this country possessed, of giving a support worthy of England to those rights—of giving a support worthy of England to that con stitutional system of Spain, to which, be it remembered, we gave our solemn sanction in 1812. lie would not ask now, whether, it' a bold and decisive tone had been used at the Con gress at Verona, it would have saved Spain, without the neces sity of this country embarking in a war : neither would he ask whether, under any given circumstance, it became England to stand by , patiently, with her eyes shut to the cool disregard with which his Most Christian Majesty treated our protest. These questions had been decided last year, and he would not introduce them now. He would merely demand, was this syse tern of neutrality the fit policy for the country to pursue? Be believed it was so considered by the great bulk of the English people. All that be meant to say was, that this ground, low and humble as it unquestionably Was, Ministers had since abandoned. What was considered at Verona as a possible ground for the in terference of this country, if it occurred, had actually taken place. Yet we had not only not opposed France, but we abso lutely assisted her. We had allowed some of the most important privileges of our trading system, and even the honour of our flag, to be invaded with impunity. The possible cause of ou r taking part in this war was foreseen at Verona. That cause was, if circumstances imparted to it the character of a war of annexation. That was looked upon as a ground which would inevitably lead us to take a part in the contest. It was evident; from various acts of the French Government, that the war did assume that aspect. No sooner did the Duke d'Angouletrie be come aware of the difficulty of advancing into Spain—no sooner was he made acquainted with the vast expence which was ocea_ sioned by that servile body whom he had himself' agreed toeup port—than, by a public edict, he declared his object to be to take possession of Spain. He (Lord N.) alluded to the edict published at Andujar in the beginning of Aug. last. The Duke d'Angouleme then declared the power of the Spanish Regencket an end, and he called for the military, as well as the civil autho rity, to be placed in his hands. Did he (Lord N.) blame the Duke d'Angouleme for this act? No. He believed it was{ founded in humanity, and was demanded by the mort immediate necessity ; but he must say, that it was a declaration, as strong as terms could make it, "that the real ohjectof the war was the annexation of Spain as a province of France." This was not a mere vain empty proclamation on his part. The edict of Andujar was not in general circulation through Spain, when, in point of fact, the French flag was hoisted on almost every town in the Peninsula. They certainly could not praise• the good faith of France on that occasion ; because, on crossing the Pyrenees, a proclamation was issued by theinvading army, promising the Spanish nation that no flag but the Spanish flag should be hoisted in such towns as might be garrisoned by the French. But no sooner was the proclamation of Andujar pub , lished, than the whole character, appearance, and object Of the war with Spain was altered ; and the Duke d'Angouleme became virtually Viceroy of the Spanish provinces. But the British Cabinet had declared, in those famous notes of instruc .tion (of which they bad heard so much last year) from the Right Hon. Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs to the Duke of Wellington, that " come what come may, this country would' never assist France in the invasion of -Spain." But how was . this declaration adhered to ? On the issue of that question he . would rest his case. " Come what come may, this country would never assist France in the invasion of Spain," was a tolerablyh strong phrase ; and he remembered the cheers with which that declaration was received when it was propounded to 'the House by the Right Honourable Secretary as part of his in- • structions to the Duke of Wellington. But, in less than a month afterwards, what was their surprise and that of poor, sacrificed, betrayed Spain, to see the British Minister, accredit ed to the Spanish Government at Seville, throw himself into the hands of the Duke d'Angouleme and the French Govern_ ment; and stating the ground of that step to be, an act which the Spanish Cortes had done in the management of• the in ternal affairs of Spain ! The moment Sir W. A'('ourt with drew himself from Seville, it might he said that this Govern ment .had published a proclamation against the liberties of Spain.—(Hear !)—A distinct indication of a hostile feeling was thus manifested. Was that withdrawal, or we it not, an indication of a hostile nature ? Did Sir \V. A'("eurt withdraw himself from the Spanish Government in accordance with in structions which he had received from home ? If' lie did not act in consequence of instructions from home, why was he Oen tinued ? Having. withdrawn himself under such circumstances; and at such a moment, when perhaps the fate of Spain hinged on the conduct of.thie country, why was he not reetilled—why
