In the one it will be found the unfailing source of Barrenness, the other have its ravages fatally developed by a distressing state of debility, which, if not timely remedied, terminates in Impotence ; these are its remote and ultimate effects, while Consumptions; loss of Muscular Power, 'and various Nervous Complaints, usually characterise the earliest stages of this most destructive and insidious habit, for the cure of which a mode of treatment, the result of long and success- ful practice,, and at on.. safe, speedy, ,and effectual, is adopted by the Author.

He stated, that the Right Honourable Representative having been called. by hist:Majesty to the head of the _Colonial Department, was of course compelled to vacate his seat for the borough of Liverpool. The object 'of the present meeting was to consider the propriety of again soliciting him to become the representative: of Liverpool. 'He ventured' to express his confident belief that the feeling of the meeting would be unanimously ' in favour 'of that proposition.—(A p , planse,)—Hewas persuaded that the persons he saw around him were AVell aware that they could not have an abler representative, or one more disposed to promote, the interests of Liverpool.—(Applause.) JOAN QLADSTONE, Esq., said he, had been re queSted to propose an addresS, which had been pre viously approved .of by a committee of fifteen gentle men, for adoption by the meeting. Before he stated any thing' from himself, heivould read'the address,_ in order that . the meeting might be acquai n t e d w i t h its,purport. He then read the following address : F; at ty :It t; Dt 31 all ts. he A as 1 11 lee ras TO THE RIGHT HON. WILLIAM HUS7CISSON, &C. Sir,—While we deeply lament the 'mouthful event that rendered necessary the late changes in his Majesty's Go vernment, we are, at the same time, desirous to express to you the gratification we have received from the further proof which the King has given of the just value of your public services, by confiding the seals of the Colonial Department to your charge. _ _ _ it is also with sincere satisfaction that we have learn e d, froth your cominunication to the Mayor, that as your seat in Parliament'bad become vacant, you were ready to re sume the representation of Liverpool, if called upon by your late constituents, notwithstanding the arduous labours which must attend your increased public duties. Highly approving of your public conduct, and alive to your increasing and successful exertions to support the best interests of the nation, as well as your devotion to the protection and promotion of the more immediate claims' of this great commercial town, we desire to avail ourselvesof the disposition you have expressed, and therefore do most earnestly and cordially invite you again to come forward as a candidate for the representation of this ancient borough .in. Parliament. In making this request, we consider our selves as expressing the general sentiment of the inha bitants at large, and we beg to assure you of our warmest support. We have . the honour to subscribe ourselves, Sir, your Faithful and most obedient servants." - This was an address which he proposed should be signed by all those who approved of Mr. Hus kisson's conduct, sod desired to see him replaced in the situation which he had recently vacated. He was aware that it would be idle, and perhaps also presumptuous, for him to enter into a detail of the many important services which Mr. Huskisson had rendered Liverpool. Every person in Liverpool was aware of how faithfully and with what zeal he had discharged the duties of a representative.— (Hear, hear.)—The interests of Lord Liverpool had ever been the object of his solicitude, and he bad always shown an anxious desire to promote the just claims of his constituents, by all the means which his extensive influence placed at his disposal. Under these circumstances, he - was justified in entertaining the hope, that when the period of election should arrive, there would, be no. opposition to Mr. Hus kisson's return.—(Applause.)—There was one cir cumstance, which it was necessary, in connection with this subject, to take into consideration; he meant the state of Mr. Huskisson's health. It was well known that after the close of the last Session of Parliament Mr. Huskisson was compelled, for the absolute preservation of his life, to 'proceed to the Continent, from which he had been recalled earlier than he expected, in consequence of the irreparable loss which the country had sustained , by the death of Mr. Canning. -The election for Liver pool could not , take place until after. Parliament assembled, • which would • be in the depth of winter, when, in addition, setting aside Mr. Hue kisson's imperfectly restored state of health, he, would be peculiarly called upon to devote his atten tion to the duties of his office. He therefore ven tured to express a'hope (and this he did from him self, and without the authority of any other person,) that when the period of the election arrived, the electors of Liverpool would consider it unnecessary to put Mr. Huskisson to the risk of a journey to their town, and by so acting they would do further honour to themselves, and, he imagined, afford con siderable gratification to Mr. Huskisson.—(Ap plause.) He was certain that Mr. Huskisson, should. he be re-elected, would take the first opportunity'his health afforded of paying his personal respects to his constituents—he might say his friends—in Liver pool. When Mr. Canning first introduced Mr. Iluskisson to the electors of Liverpool, he said that . be presented to them one of the most able men of business in the kingdom. He might now confidently state that the correctness of Mr. Canning's descrip tion had been fully realized.—(Applause.) 'ln Mr. Trloskisson they" possessed a reprbsentative distin guished by sound discretion, a profound knowledge of the best interests 'of the country, and an ardent desire to -promote them even at the hazard of his health. Mr. Huskisson, however, had not escaPed animadversion, and even abuse- The various im portant measures of which Mr. Huskisson had been in some degree the originator, and was the - organ of Government , to• propound to Parliinnerit, were the ground of these attacks. In one instance the ' opposition raised to the Right Hon. Gentleman's measures had been proved to :be signally ill founded and mistaken.. When Mr. Huskisson proposed his alteration in the silk ,trade, there were .persons whe.predicted that the effect of the measure would be to ruin all the manufacturers, and to throw hundreds of thousands of workmen out of employ ment. Now look at the result. The silk trade at the present moment was admitted to be in the most flourishing state ever known." It appeared, that in order to infuse fresh vigour into the English manu facturer, it was only, necessary to get rid of the in ducement to purchase smuggled goods. French manufactures were sought after, not because they were of superior quality to our own, but because they p ossessed a peculiar recommendation in the dif ficulty which was found in obtaining them. Now, when the French manufacture came into fair compe tition with our own, the latter was generally pre ferred. We not only had almost entire possession of the home market, but even maintained a powe,r -' ful rivalry with the French in the foreign market. — ' (Applause.)—Mr. Huskisson must be considered the most supporter, if not th e or i g i nator , of the change act iv e in the corn-laws, proposed in the last session of p arl i ament . That important measure; which was essentially necessary to the well-being of the empire, and even necessary to the existence of the agrical . tuml interest, was unfortunately lost through the °P atinae)* and ignorance of certain persons in the Upper House; but he hoped it would be proposed ag a i n next session, and be attended with it more fortunate result.—(Applause.)—He w ou ld d eta i n the meet in g for only a few minutes upon 'the subject of the alterations which had b een made in, th laws, under Mr. Huskisso n ' s auspices.:, He nivigation e must system, an ac know7edge that he for one h a d l ooked with consider able jealousy to the con c e ss i ons, made to fO reigners under the recipr oca l d pal ticularly to those made to Prussia; but he was free' to confess, that now he. was in possession of better information on the subject, his appnehen sions were removed, and he fully recognized the justice and necessity of the system introduced by the Right Hon. Gentleman. When he objeOed to the concessions made to Prussia, it was generally understood that no more than 700,0001. worth of British 'manufactures were imported into that country, but it now turned out that the amount was nearer 7,000,0001. worth. .That was an 'object of too great importance to be sacrificed for the want of a little concession on . our part. Mr. Huskisson had *shown him Self anxious to promote the interests of the ship-owners whenever circumstances enabled him to do so consistently with ,the other . great inte rests of the country. The act which he introduced last Session for substituting certain important ar ticles for others which formerly stood upon the enu merated list, would prove of material benefit to shin -owners. .It was not to be supposed that Mr. Huskisson's measures would give universal satisfac tion. In all cases in which conflicting,. interests were concerned, unless each party would yield Some part of their claims, it was impossible for any stntes man to reconcile them. 7 --(Hear !)—The Hon. Gen tleman then took 'occasion to express his sorrow for the death of Mr. Canning, an event which he !con ceived to have been accelerated by the anxieties which beset him after accepting the Premiership.— lie said that Mr. Canning himself seemed sensible of the irksomeness of his , situation, for, in a letter addressed to him by the Right lion. Gentleman on the 28th of May, he wrote as follows :--" My oc cupations for the 24 hours are, and have been for the last two months, more almost than either the compass of that time or my physical strength is ade quate to." After expressing his satisfaction at , the constitution of the present Ministry, and hoping that it would long continue to administer' public affairs with honour to itself and advantage to the country, he concluded with moving, that the address which he had read be adopted by the meeting. Sir JOHN TOBIN seconded the, motion. One of the champions of the ship-owners, and of the restrictive system, stepped forward to declare his objections to Mr. Huskisson, but the novelty of his situation seemed to deprive him of utterance. He stammered out a request that he might be allowed time to " get his breath," which the Chair man consented to ; but after waiting some minutes, and the would-be orator still standing mute, the Meeting insisted on having the question put, which was accordingly done,. and the motion agreed to nanimously. - W. W. CurtßlE, Esq., said, that after what had . . . been intimated respeCting Mr. Huskisson's health, he felt it necessary to move that the Chairman, in transmitting the address to the Right Hon. Gentle man, should also inform him that it was the wish of the Meeting that he should not come to Liverpool at the time of the election. _ _ . . T. CASE Esq., seconded the motion, which was put, and carried unanimously.—The Meeting then btoke up. MONSTROCITY.—On Saturday last, a cat, belonging to Mr. S. Tideswell, blacksmith, of Mansfield, brought forth a curious production in form of three kittens, each attached so closely to its fellow, that one could not survive without the other; their form vas perfect, as far as head, legs, tail, ‘&c., but adhering in various parts to each other, forming one creature, and that sort of sympathy appeared to exist—as thosugh one im pulse governed the whale ; a constant uneasiness was manifested by the trio, whiCh disturbing the family, induced Mr. T. to order them to be drowned, which was accordingly done on Monday, and we regret it has thereby prevented their being preserved as a most wonderful phe nomena of nature.—Nottingham Mercury. THE TAILOR, TYPO, AND OWL.—A very gay and sprightly Knight of the goose and bod kin, amply imbued' with a full share of the'vanity inherent in his profession, . was boasting a short time since that though he was given to betting, yet he never got taken in,—not he indeed ! Tired .with the man's folly and impertinence, it seems, some who were present resolved to punish the self-important Snip. One of them accordingly complained that a horse of his was every night frightened in his stable by an owl, which flutter ed about him in the dark, notwithstanding he had tried all he could to catch the confounded owl, and concluded by proposing a party should go that night to assist him. The bait was greedily caught by the tailor ; he should like such a bit of fun of all things t—he had long wanted to catch .an owl to hunt in a pond. The parties now; sallied forth to the stables in Henry street.- The way to catch an owl is thus :—a man is placed with a sieve on his head beneath the trap door of a stable loft; another stands near him with a candle, so that the rays of light pass through the sieve into the loft above, and the gaby is made to believe that when the owl is driven into the rays of light, he will fall down into the sieve below. The tailor was thus placed with a sieve on his head,. Typo holding the candle, Where they were directed to wait till the o - wleould . be driven into the sieve, which was then to ,be secured. Others' of the party now makingscreech n oh ;a but which eashoicchpioonoarllsy,niipn and d itatin Typo o pretended to be hunting after the owl, s ome o f t o h f e i m ts took to be the owl itself. At this time some person o pen e d th e d oor , w h e n S n ip cr ied out to cline it again, for th e y h a d nearly caught the owl.

THURSDAY, SEpT..I3. NOLDSWORTDI D. WISE AND OTHERS. This was another action against the Directors of the South Devon Insurance Company, to recover a total loss on the ship , Westbury. The chie f ma te , William Gilpin, sttited ffiie circumstances 'of the loss: The vessel left Belfast on the 23d of June, 1826, Sailed to St. Andrew's, where she took in a cargo of timber, and left that place for Valencia in Ireland on the 15th of Sept. On the 20th a violent gale arose, and on the 22d in the morning the ship was thrown on her beam ends. They endeavoured to lighten her, and worked the pumps, which choaked more than once* On the morning of the 23d, as she still lay in the same way, and was sinking forward in the Water, they cut away the fore top gallant masts, but with out effect ; she did not answer her helm, and lhhey expected her Every minute to capsize. Seeing a vessel, astern, they made ,a signal of distress, and when she came up, the crew, consisting of twelve persons, abandoned the ship, and were taken to Boston. The Bolivar afterwards fell in with the Westbury, and took her to New York, where great charges of salvage and bottomry were made; after being repaired, she was sent to England, but got ashore in the Mersey, and a further damage was sustained to the amount of 850/. Altogether, the salvage, bottomry, and damage in the river exceeded the amount for which the vessel was insured— namely, 'l,BOO/. ; and as the owner had giVen•notice of abandonment to the Insurance Company, it was contended that they ought to take the vessel, and pay the amount insured. The Jury, after a minute's consultation, returned a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages 1,8001. The Dikke and Duchess of St: Alban's passed through Gloucester on Friday, on their route from tea mington to Malvern. During her stay at the Hop-pole the Duchess sent to a neighbouring shop for some gloves Besides those of the Worcester manufacture, French gloves were produced, but the Duchess declared her determination " not to buy any gloves of foreign manufacture."— Glou cester Journal. Mathews, the Comedian, is in the_ possession of the finest portrait of Colly Cibber known to exist. The Poet, Player, and Dramatic Writer is painted, wd be lieve, by Sir Godfrey Kneller, a three-quarters length, in the character of Lord lbppington. The best bust of the laureat is at Strawberry Hill. He appears in a cap then eld ; it is coloured from the life, and said to be extremely like. Cibber gave this bust to Kitty Clive, the celebrated actress; and her brother, Mr. Rafter, gave it after her death, to Mr. Walpole. Several London and country Magistrates visited Clerkenwell Prison, on Saturday last, for the purpose of seeing' Sheen, the murderer. The Magistrates entered into a long conversation with him, during which theytad vised him to go to sea, and intimated that, if he would consent, his speedy liberation would be the consequence. Sheen replied, that he should have no objection to go to sea, if a month was allowed him after his liberation to prepare himself. The Magistrates, however, appear to wish for better security than his own word. The public should be upon their guard, 4ith respect to the dried or smoked salmon, which• is exhibited for sale at the various shell-fish shops in the metropolis. It is in general cured by the Jews in the neighbourhood of Duke's-place, and the fish, thus appropriated, is, With few exceptions, either stale, unhealthy, or out of season, and would be condemned at Billingsgate, could it previouslf be seen by the proper authorities. The only dried salmon in the London market that can be depended upon, is sent in that state from Wales or Scotland—very little indeed is Sent from Scotland, and in 'Wales the salmon is never split.— Dried or smoked salmon from Holland is prohibited. AN OLD FOOL.--A woman residing at tjn coln, fancying that life and all its earee were likely to prove a heavier burthen to bear than shi could endure pa tiently, a few days ago attempted to make short work iyith her difficulties, by taking 60 grains of opium, which soon began to incommode her to a greater degree than was at last wished for. Medical aid being sent for, and the enemy being expelled,a dose of strong coffee-decoction was admi nistered, and the only complaint which the patient uttered on being rescued against her will from the grave, was, that " the coffee would taste better with a little sugar to sweeten it !"—Lincoln Paper. REVERSE OF FORTUNE.—Major Berger, formerly of the Life Guards, and who, at that time, moved in the first circles of society, and was supposed to be lios sessed of an independent fortune, came before the Magis trates at Marlborough-street yesterday, with several ott er poor persons, for the purpose of swearing to the necesry affidavit to entitle him to receive parochial relief. !Hr stated, that he was married in the year 1805, in Carliple, by license, and that his wife and three children were now residing in Cumberland; that he had rented apartments in the parish of St. James for three years, for which he paid SOL per annum. He appeared extremely dejected ; and, although shabbily dressed, was very clean. ELECTRICITY. --We understand that Mr. Ritchie, of Tain Ac adem y , has fallen oh a method of mak in.. an electric plate -machine of an y convenient size, imd a t a much less e xpence than by the usual method. The following is a short description of the p rocess. Let t wo , c ircular pieces of baked wood he procured, about a foot in diameter, and nearly an inch thick. These pieces, when placed together on the same axis, have a. groove in the circumference capable of receiving the plate glass destitted for making the machine. The glass is cut in the form of portions of the section of a circle, to the number of faur or six, and fixed in the groove and to each other by strdnl electric cement. The pieces of wood are secured fast 'to gether while the cement is soft , so that the whole becomes stronger than one piece. As sma l l pieces of plate glass are much cheaper in proportion than one large plate, an elegant machine may, by this means, hece._ssm e three,madecootfa. n as ANDhorDEßfour, or even five feet diameter , at a much smaller rate, and tis in equal power atr those itmo'ony OVERMATCHED formed of u onesN MATCHED. e. horse—first ap pearances are deceitful ; for which reason many are paired, but feW are m i ltehed. Now in match ina (in either traffic) it isnot only • requisite that no great dispr . oportion of size, age, or quality should exist, but it is equally proper that the pair should pull together ; for if one be frisky and the other dull—one slow and the o t her a r unaway—there will be the very devil to pay. When there is a disproportion in size, the p a ir lookridiculous— ,zl giant and a dwarf, a pony and an elephant ; but this only affects appearances , • • w hereas disparity in age, I b-ood) or temper, leads to more serious consequences and accidents. The filly will kick and plunge, by, the side of the , aged horse, will fret and 'break bridle, and, in the long run, will break the old horse's wind, or perhaps his heart. A tight rein will scarcely suffice in such a case, and very often, bolting is .the' end of such a match ; and thus it i s also with wedded pairs. pains to procure the following details:— the middle of July, the Newhaven and Fisherrow boats l to the number of fifty-five, each manned with five spirited, experienced,. hardy fellows, had reached Wick. They were among , the first, as usual, but immediately after their ar rival a great number of boats arrived, not only from all the usual stations in the North and West Highlands, but there were upwards of a dozen continental vessels of considerable burden. There were no less than '2,300 boats forward in all, five hundred above the number which ap peared last season, and certainly far above any number that has been seen at that station for thirty years. Fishing began on the 20th July, but owing to• the prevalence of strong gales from the north, and unfavourable weather generally, little g ood was done. Dur ing that period, many of the boats did not take a single cran, others were more fortunate, and on the whole, the average would rim about 20 barrels to each boat. The weather became more favourable, "and the fishing went prosperously forward. There were, however, far too many , boats for the station. As soon as the fish made their appearance, there was a simultaneous and resolute push for the place,, and the. consequence was, that in the confusion. and contention, which unavoidably ensued, the one not only embarrassed and ob structed the operations of the other, but the nets, in numberless cases, were shot so closely, and running parallel, that instead of taking, they ac tually excluded the fish. Hence, besides the damage, much labour and precious time were expended to little purpose. The shoals which regularly visit this quarter, are of such inagni tude, that according to .the . opinion of men of twenty years' experience, 1,500 boats will do as much business as double the number. This is obvious, from the case of Helmsdale. Last year the fishing was indifferent at that place, and con sequently other stations were this year preferred. Only about 140 boats arrived, and continued at that quarter, and every thing , went on to the complete satisfaction of all parties—there was no collision—no altercation or. irritation, and not a net, nor a buoy was lost. Schooled by experi ence, some sagacious. fishermen, who saw the futility of mingling in keen and profitless com petition, shot off to a distance and were very for tunate. One boat from Fisherrow, for instance, for eight days, sailed to a distance of about twelve miles from land, and they took, on the whole, eighty barrels. Numbers of those that braved the bustle and peril of the competition, did not in that time take a dozen crans, and not one in twenty came near this quantity. The supply . of fish was this year abundant, and rather superior in quantity. Taken in the aggregate, the boats, as nearly as has yet been ascertained, took on an average 160 crans. About 600 herrings make a cran, and the whole take at Wick may be guessed" at . about 370,000 -barrels. The fishers have their boats, nets, complete apparatus, to provide and keep up, and they have for their labour an allowance of whisky i ledging, and 10s. a barrel. It would require upwards of 200 barrels a boat to do them substantial justice, and conse quently our Fisherrow and Ndwhaven neigh bours . declare that, owing no doubt to the gene ral keenness of the competition, it has been a very unprofitable season for them. Their sons and sires who stopped at home on account of being unable to stand the risk and fatigue of the herring-fishing, by amusing themselves in taking stray whiting and small flounders, turned their time to far better account. Serious complaints are made of the loss of nets, a circumstance which never occurred at that quarter before. On one night a number were cut, and carried off, or at all events were lost to the owners. The Ma gistrates of Wick, much to their credit, promptly offered a handsome reward for .the discovery of the delinquents, but no information was obtained. On the whole, the north fishing has been fully above an average season, and it is gratifying to be able to add, that during the week the whole of the fishers who left this vicinity have got back in safety to their families. On Tuesday.last, an inquest was held on the body of Robert Agnew, a seaman belonging to the Mars, of Maryport, recently arrived in this port from Quebec, -and a verdict of manslaughter returned against Richard Fletcher, the mate of the Mars, in consequence of which he has been committed to gaol. It appeared that on Monday evening, while the Captain was engaged in trans acting business on shore, the deceased and others of the . crew got themselves intoxicated, and on the Captain's return to the vessel, made a simul taneousto. and peremptory demand for their wages, with which he refused to comply, telling' them, at the same time, if dissatisfiacecdoiwnpitahnitehdeirwtir.tehata ment on board, they were a ew t m: l r i e b o e er r xe t w y ch t oa o nng l h o e o idra k , . out vessel. against l a i b nil challenge I h i a e l l I n e n i g n e t their dem a nd, o d x e n ; 1 att d this , was an d immediatelyhi having s accepted p art for another blows w t s h by y itI F I l t e l t i c e h C er a ; pt s a e i v n e ill-will of Agnew, who applie d to him the epithet of ~t he Captain's bully, of which unfortunately occasioned A ' one the' gmevv s fall across a plank, whereby his neck was dislocated, and death almost instantaneously ensued.—Sligo Luminary. . , The meeting in Pasheller's bankruptcy took place at Huntingdon, on Tuesday, and the ex amination of Mr. John Pasheller lasted nearly the whole of that and the following day.
