The essential object of this treatise is to point out the fearful con se jaences resulting from certain habits, irregularities, and excesses, enich have produced more misery in Youth, degradation in Man i od, and premature decay at all stages of Life, than, perhaps, any other class of disease known to modern pathologists. Its perusal is ?articularly recommended to persons entertaining secret doubts of their physical condition, and who are conscious of having hazarde3 the health, happiness, and privileges to which every human being is entitled. it is absolutely necessary that all man should know, that there are ?rinciples of personal management which cannot bo violated without enrring grievous penalties, e nd when wisdom and regret succeed the heyday of inconsiderate self-indulgence, how those penalties nay be mitigated, hew the sting of their bitterness may be removed, slid how the evil and its consequences may be avoided, and above all, teat there is scarcely any degree of physical infirmity or Amato:fa] tempi - tient to which the timely aid of science cannot apply a cure. rho Author has for a series of years been engaged in an extensive practice in the treatment of these delicate complaints, which have unfortunately been too generally confided tc the care of ignorant emnirios, who inflict groat injury on those who are induced to place faith in their pretensions .

LivuurooL, Tuesday.—The bill introduced into the House of Commons by Mr. Lowe, last night, for the re lief cf the mercantile shipping from local tolls and dues, has been much commented on by :the merchants to-day, and is by no means popular, the prevailing belief being that the Corporation of Liverpool have a right and title to those dues beyond dispute. It may be generally not known that the right to receive those dues was sold by Charles I. to the citizens of London, along with many similar rights, for a sum of u p wards of 400 , 0001 . ; that the rights which the citizens floraofLonpduonrchhaadsepwuasr chased t h e King was sub se q uen t l y purchased by the M a t o 1 e y r n w e a u r x d e : o c o f n C fi r r o m x t e e d t h b and n a d n Sefton act of ( which Parliament), and b 3 them it was sold to the corporation of Liverpool, who have now heldit for mttny generations. Therefore, unless a title derived by purchase from the Crown, and confirmed by a vote of Parliament, is an insufficient title to the p >sses pion of these dues, the corporation of Liverpool have a right to retain the dues, or to demand a full compensa tion for their extraction. The right of the corporation was tried before Lord Chief Justice Denman, in 1833, on which occasion the decision was then in favour, and they now hold the dues by every title by which pro perty can be secured in this country. The gross revenue of the corporation of Liverpool for the year ending the 31st of August, 1855, was 176,8071., of which 110,6711. were received from town dues ; and to maintain the present expenditure of the corporation (should the town dues be abolished), a borough rate of 78,000/. will be required. The remarks of Mr. - Lovie,. regarding the sanitary condition of Liverpool, shown that official to be grossly misinformed, and no town in the :United Singdoni is better situated in that respect. It may be added that there is a sanitary rate for tke borough, levied off the inhabitants —a fact of which Mr. Lowe does not arum to be aware. In my last I mentioned the then approaching election for the city in the room of Mr. Murphy, who had resigned. I stated that the election would turn on the "squatting " question, and I antici ' pated that the squatting candidate would be beaten, and by a very :inferior man. The events turned out as I anticipated, and by a far larger minority than any one expected. Mr. Cruikshank polled only 459 votes, though his committee, composed of most respectable and wealthy merchants, used great exer ti ons an d did not spare their money. Mr. Rae polled 1,588, his majority being thus 1,129. This result is the more remarkable, as Mr. Rae's opinions aro so crude and impracti cable that he had - really but little to recom mend him to an intelligent constituency, and I am quite correct in saying that the majority. voted to keep Cruikshank out, and not to put Rae in. The squatters, as you are await", have had unin terrupted possession of the lands of the colony for years, at very low licence fees. In 1846 the Home Government framed certain regulations by which the squatters were to have 8 and 14 years' leases. These leases have never been given ; hut they have had possession nevertheless. From time to time very insignificant portions of the pastu , lands have been sold for agricultural purposes, is all scarcely exceeding 1,500,000 acres in all parts of the' colony. As poliulatici4 . increases more will be required, and the squatters'sluOdestly demand compensation to the extend of 2,50000/. Their votes in the Council, whether for the Government or against it, have almost invariably been governed by their own interest. They have often thrown their tveight (about a dozen votes) into the Govern " Mont * scale, when they fancied the Executive WM disposed to favour their views; and they have hitherto been not without hope that the Govern ment would support the principle of compensation. In that case their majority would have been two to one. But the Government has used them, and has no further occasion for them. It has now no thing to gain and all to lose by encouraging the views of the squatters, and this election effectually defeats their grand objects—earnely, to get their claims recognised by this Council, a council of 14 officials and 9 nominees. But this would be too indecent a matter for the members of the Govern ment, and their claims will be a legacy for the new Parliament. The Legislature now stands summoned for the 23d of November for the despatch of business, on which day the new Constitution will's() proclaimed. The chief business of the last session will be to pass an electoral act for the registration of voters, and so forth. I believe there is a pretty general under standing among members not to enter into new measures, and especially not to attempt to fetter the new Assembly —a wise resolve, seeing that the new Assembly would not be fettered by a mongrel house so composed. It is rumoured that the house will grant only six months' supplies, as the Go vernment may easily providct for the assembling of the new Assembly and Council within that period. There is a quiet under current of agitation set ting in, in favour of the voluntary principle, and against the reserve of 50,0001. for ministers of reli gion, which I think likely to lead to very important results. It is not the work of demagogues, or of ambitious gentlemen who wish to make out of it a little political capital, but is conducted by grave, sober men, well placed in the world, both by character and means—a very important con sideration here, where wealth is an object of su perstitious devotion—and who, when they take up a question with energy, are not likely to put it aside until carried. The Independents, a most respectable body in all these colonies, have in variably refused State aid ; the Presbyterians and Wesleyans are disposed to dispense with it. The Episcopalians are divided upon it. The Ro man Catholics, strange to say, having tasted iis sweets, have become attached to it. It would not surprise me if it were to become the question of questions at the new elections. It may take a few years to train the public mind on the subject, but I am convinced that " State aid to religion," as it is here called, is doomed. , It may be doubtful, in the first instance, whether the semi-savage portion of our population will be disposed to contribute towards the support of their own ministers, but the public opinion of the circle around them will soon make them do so. The 50,0001. is only 3s. 4d. a-head for the whole population—an average easily raised, were it not that every one now considers he is • ssx'szpr4od .from- paienta -contribution by the State 1411p/sort. , The Independent*, *ho do not ao cept aid, have no difficulty in raising funds by vo luntary contributions. The Church of England, which takesat least. 25,04 P/. out of the reserved fund, are by no means successful in their private collec tions. Even at the very source of wealth, Ballarat, the English church—in spite of a grant of land and of a contribution for the building—could not raise money on the spot, and the committee came beg !,fing here ; while the Independent chapel close by was built entirely by subscriptions on the spot, and is finished before " the clinrch" is half up. I doubt whether self-reliaiice on the part of the churches will ever he generated so long as the mi nisters are paid quarterly ; and, if s", the first step towards the proper working of the voluntary principle is to adopt it. The Ballarat riots seem to have impressed many people at home with a notion that this colony is ' ripe for revolution ; but, depend upon it, there is no such danger, unless "Mrs. Mother Country" drive the members of the Legislature to move in the matter, and then the Ballarat rowdies would be an emement in the question. The election of mayor takes place to-day, and the choice will fall on John Thomas Smith, the present mayor, who has thrice filled the office • hence he is sometimes desi g nated as the Australian Whittington. Ido not know that the choice could fall on a better wan. It is true, he made his money by keeping a public-house, and ono not of the highest class ; but many of our "potent, grave, and reverend sife.,ni ors" did that, and the town-councillors and alder men are necessarily, as in England, taken from the trading class. Mr. Smith is, I believe, very wealthy, and lie is no niggard in his expenditure, and, I am well assured, most liberal in his chari ties. He devotes the whole of his time to the public service, and is really a most excellent ma gistrate. There has been a very large sale of stations and. stocks of cattle and sheep, held by the Royal Bank of Australia. The stations were about 20 in num ber, on the Sydney frontier, and the total sum realised was 192,0001. The cattle averaged Si. ss. a-head. The prices of sheep varied from 18s. to 345. Even the commission for selling was a little fortune to the auctioneer.
