The essential object of this treatise is to point out the fearful con sequences resulting from c,rtain habits, irregularities and excesses, which have produced more misery in Youth, degradation in Man hood, and premature decay at all stages of Life, than, perhaps, any other class of disease known to modern pathologists. Ita peruse lis particularly recommended to persons entertaining secret doubts of their physical condition, and who are conscious of having hazarded the health, happiness, and privileges to which every human being is entitled. It is absolutely necessary thatall men should know, that there are principles of personal management which cannot be violated without Incurring grievous penalties, and when wisdom and regret succeed the heyday of inconsiderate self-indulgence, how these penalties may be mitigated, how the sting of their bitterness may be removed, and how the evil and its con -equenc es may be avoided, and above all, that there is scarcely any decree of physical infirmity or functional terangement to which the timely aid of science cannot apply a cure. The A uthor has for a series of years been engaged in an extensive practice in the treatment of these delicate complaints, which are unfortunately teen too generally confided to the care of ignorant empirics, who inflict great injury on those who are induced to place faith in their pretensions.

When they remembered the scenes that had so lately passed before their eyes—that so many gallant soldiers and well-manned ships had left their shores after a peace of such long duration—it was impossible not to feel anxious for their welfare, and to hope that they might be suc cessful. (Cheers.) Sir J. M`DoNALD returned thanks on behalf of the army, and Rear-Admiral KELL Y f or th e navy. _ _ Lord J. RUSSELL said—Gentlemen, I cannot but feel it a great honour that I should now be called on to pro pose to you, in the presence of so many gentleman who have been connected with the official a dministration of the colonies of this country, and in the presence of so many merchants of the city of London connected with the trade of Canada, the health of the noble lord who has presided with such distinguished merit over the government of our Canadian colonies. (Cheers.) I rejoice also to have the opportunity of speaking in the presence of the representative of that great republic of the West, whose sons are derived from the same stock as ourselves, who speak the same language, and own the authority of the same ancient laws as ourselves (cheers). Gentlemen, although it may perhaps take up some por tion of your time, I may perhaps be permitted to allude to those periods which have marked the term of our co lonial government. There was a period when the colo nies of this country—the colonies to which our people bad emigrated —were like children allowed to stray where they listed without protection or shelter, taking their chance of falling down the neighbouring crag, or being lost in the surrounding wilderness. That period has past away, but it did not pass without imparting to many of our young colonies that vigour which enabled them after wards to grow up into great and free communities. But it did pass away, and we arrived at a period when, by petty restrictions, and by undue exercise of imperial pre rogative, we endeavoured to derive those advantages from our colonies which we only ought to have expected from the most perfect freedom of intercourse. It was once said by a statesman, who was a wit as well, that the American war was caused by a, secretary of state, who bethought himself after many years of opening his despatches. What was meant to be conveyed by that was, that directions were sent out from this country cramping the commerce of the colony, imposing taxes, and tending only to its alienation, which would never have been proposed had the Secretary of State carefully , read the despatches which he had for years been receiv ing from America. Even the fatal reverses of the Ame rican war —reverses which we incurred by our delays— did not open the eyes of Government ; and the same system was continued for many years. No greater instance of the folly of such a course of proceeding could be afforded than the case of Canada, respecting which we endeavoured by parliamentary litigation to prose cute rules and laws for people who had separate religion, separate language, and separate customs. Such a sys tem tended to produce only bickerings and disputes, and to make our governors themselves only the tools of a mischievous and injurious system. (Hear, hear.) But that time has, I trust, likewise passed away. (Cheers.) With regard to Canada, at all events, we have tried, and are now trying, the system of allowing a people as capable as ourselves of discerning their true interests, to promote those interests without our continual and vexa tious interference. Able men have pointed out the way in which we should go, and have also pointed out to Canada the wisdom and policy of uniting that which had teen unwisely seperated ; but still the system itself was 55 new, th e sys t em o f pay i ng attention t o th e colony, of aidin g its prosperity, and yet not endeavouring to mar that prosperity by restrictions, that it required no ordi nary ab4ity and temper to carry the system into effectual operation. Such, then, was the proper field for the deve lopment of such abilities as are possessed by Lord El g i n . It has been his duty to act the part of a constitutional king over a province which has been continually pro spering ana increasing under his care, which has risen from little more than a million to two millions of re venue, which has increased in a short time from 600,000 to 1,200,000 population, and the imports and exports of which have shown year by year the symptoms of increas ing trade and Improving industry. (Hear.] lam not going to weary the assembly with details, or even to al lude to the great event which occasioned the difficulties of the noble lord's administration. We have had our times of differences in this country, and they have had their differences in Canada, but through all these diffi culties the noble lord was assisted by an excellent Prime Minister, who, I am glad to see, is present on this oc casion —(cheers)—and with his aid the noble lord has successfully coped with the difficulties of his position. The results have been that we have now secure in loyalty a. province inhabited by as excellent and as intelligent a people as any in the British empire. (Hear.)

[ADvERTMEMENT.I -1101lowa y 's Ointment and Pills certain remedies for Old Sores and Ulcers.---Copy of a letter from Mr. John Johnson, of Tregaron, Wales, dated December 19, 1853 :—" To Professor Holloway. Sir,—For twelve years I was afflicted with sores on my legs and arms, which gradually broke out into ulcerous wounds, and disabled me from following any of the active duties of life. I tried a variety of medicines, and applied several liniments, without benefit ; but a friend recommende,l me to use your ointment and pills, %.vhi,,h completely healed tha wounds and restored me health, after k-v,ry ot;),r rnaalk, had fa11,d."......5 0 bl by all druggists , and at Professor Holloway's Establish ' mot, 2 44 1 §.road, London. imagination, I look forward with confident hop e t o th e daywhen th e English la nguage , w hi c h i s th e l anguage of Christian, civil, and political freedom, will be the lan guage of the larger portion of the habitable globe. No people speaking this language can ever become th e wil ling instruments of despotic power. These great results, in the destiny of the future, are to be peacefully ac complished by the energy, enterprise, and indomi table perseverance of the British and American races. Ido not confine myself to the Anglo-Saxon race alone, be cause a large, respectable, and useful portion of the population of my country have sprung from the Irish, the German, and other European stocks. lam myself whatever may be my merits or my faults, the son of a native-born Irishman, and I am proud of my des cent. With your indulgent patience, I shall advert to one other topic before I take my seat. I cannot suffer this occasion to pass, without expressing my gratifica tion with her Majesty's wise and liberal declaration in favour of neutral commercial rights, during the existing war. It was worthy of the civilisation of the nineteenth century, and worthy of the best constitutional sovereign who has ever sat upon the proud and powerful throne of Great Britain. The time will arrive when war against private property upon :the ocean will be entirely pro scribed by all civili se d nations, as it has already b een upon the land, and w h en the gallant commanders of the navies of the world will esteem it as great a disgrace to rob a peaceful merchant vessel upon the seas, as the ge neral of an army would now do to plunder the private house of an unoffending citizen. (Loud cheers.) The Earl of HARROWBY had been requested to pro pose what, on some occasions, might have given rise to a splendid address ; but, under present circumstances, the whole spirit was to be allowed to evaporate, inasmuch as he was asked to propose the health of her Majesty's Ministers, and not to touch upon politics. (Laughter.) Had he been allowed to touch upon politics, he could have said something for them, and between the two he might have said a great deal. (Laughter.) lie, how ever, could propose his toast without touching upon po litics, because lie felt that they were met to do honour to a man who had been trying a great experiment by giving liberty and independence to the colonies without loosening the ties between Canada and the mother country. The noble lord accepted the principle of self government without trying to connect it with any domi nant party. He believed the problem of good govern ment would be equally well solved throughout the whole world if Sovereigns would adopt the same noble and single-minded principle upon which the noble earl had always acted. (Cheers.) He had been asked to connect with this toast the name of the Duke of Newcastle, and he had great pleasure in doing so, feeling sure that a greater and more sincere friend to the cause of in dependence in the colonies had never existed. The noble duke most worthily filled the office with which he had been entrusted by her Majesty, and wishing the noble duke the utmost health and happiness, he begged to pro pose to them "her Majesty's Ministers and the Duke of Newcastle." (Cheers.) The Duke of NEWCASTLE said if his noble friend in proposing the toast had felt some difficulty on account of the neutrality in which it had to be brought forward, he felt the difficulty much snore in replying to the toast, in asmuch as it was the only one on which neutrality could exist, as everything connected with doing honour to the noble earl, whom they had met that evening as their guest, must be of a positive character. Her Ma jesty's Ministers fully felt the difficult position in which they were placed by recent events, and were not un mindful of the great obli g ations devolving upon th em in the pre sen t emergency. He could not help in acknow ledging the compliment of his health in connection with the Ministry, recollecting that be was the representa tive of a long line of colonial secretaries whom he saw present, including SirJ. Pakington,tEarlGrey, Lord J. Russell, and the oldest of them all—Lord Monteagle, and he felt assured they all felt the greatest interest in the prosperity of the colonies and the success of the Go vernment of his noble friend Lord Elgin. There he stood to return thanks for the representatives of colonial go vernment, and to de honour to the merits of the Earl of Elgin. He and his noble friend stood in the position of a colonial coalition Government —(laughter)—the whole of the members of which felt the deepest interest in the prosperity of the colonists, and all of whom were happy in uniting to do honour to the Earl of Elgin. They were assembled, however, not only to do honour to the noble earl, but to express a sincere regard for the colony over which he presided. He had the honour of knowing his noble friend for very many years, he was almost afraid to say how many. (Laughter.) His noble friend in the chair had spoken of Lord Elgin in the highest terms of esti mation, and the hon. gentleman who represented the distinguished republic of the United States bad also spoken of him in terms of friendship and interest, in which he cordially sympathised. Some of those present had known the noble earl on the banks of the St. Law rence, but he had known him before that time on the banks of the Thames in a public school, and had always highly appreciated and admired his talents and his vir tues. The honourable gentleman who represented the United States had spoken of the inhabitants of that coun try being descendants of the British—he would not say Anglo-Saxon—and he was sure they would do all honour to the country from which they were descended. His noble friend had spoken of the war in which England was now engaged. How had the despot against whom they were opposed commenced that war ? Why, by declar ing his distant provinces under martial law, whilst in England they had appealed to the country for sup port—an appeal which had been responded to through out the land—and sure he was, if required, not only would the colonists call upon them to draw the troops from the colonies, but would offer contingents in sup port of this noble—this righteous war. He had great pleasure in greeting his noble friend (Lord Elgin) on the present occasion, and he trusted that this country would long go on in the utmost prosperity, aided and supported by that noble colony with which Lord Elgin's name would, ho rejoiced to say, for ever be connected. Earl GREY proposed "the health of the Hon. Mr. Hincks, the Prime Minister of Canada." They were met to do honour to his Excellency the Governor-General of' Canada, and it was impossible for him to see so large a company gathered for such a purpose without feeling gra tified that the difficulties which he (Earl Grey) had to en counter along with Mr. Hincks and the Governor-General in 1849 had been successfully removed. The success of the Earl of Elgin's administration was greatly owing to the judgment and ability of Mr. Hincks. Canada now enjoyed internal peace and prosperity, with party spirit mitigated, and all classes uniting for the common good. All that remained to hope for was, that as she had shown patience in adversity, she would now exhibit moderation suitable to her present good fortune. Mr. HINCKS (who was received with loud applause) said—My Lord John Russell, my lords and gentlemen, believe me I feel deeply sensible of the high honour which you have conferred upon me. It is a source of much personal gratification that this toast should have been proposed in such complimentary terms by a noble earl with whom Ihave had the honour of holding official intercourse, and who from his first entrance into public life has devoted so much of his attention to colonial sub jects. I feel at the same time that the compliment is not so much paid to the individual, or to any mewsure of colonial policy of which I am the advocate, as to the position which I have the honour to hold as an adviser or the Crown in Canada. But, my lords and gentlemen, much as I feel the honour which has been paid me per sonally, I feel in common with every Canadian in this room, sentiments of the highest gratification at the success of a demonstration, the importance of which it is scarcely possible to over estimate. It is net in Canada that I look for great results, though if time permitted I might dwell on the satisfaction which will be experienced there at the compliment paid to your noble guest ; but it is in this country, it is in this great metropolis, in every part of the United Kingdom, that the success of the great demonstration will be felt. When I look around this table, and see thedistinguished statesmen who surround it, and including those who during the last quarter of a century have directed the colonial policy of the empire —when I see the eminent capitalists, and the representatives of the great commer cial interests connected with Canada—l feel how impor tant is the sanction which you have given to those prin ciples of Government under which, w ith ou t th e slightest abatement of devoted loyalty to our Queen, or of attachmeat to our mother country, we are enabled to enjoy all the privileges of an independent state. As - your distinguished guest has already stated, the people of this country have little time to think about colonial a ffairs, and the fact is that great changes which have been made during the last ten or twelve years have hardly been noticed by those not actively engaged in public life. (Hear, hear.) Nothing has grieved me more during my occasional visits to this country than to find how lightly the severance of the connection between the parent state and the colonies has been spoken of. There is not, my lords and gentlemen, I venture to say, an in dividual in this room who does not share in the feelings of indignation which pervaded the country when the news was disseminated that a great northern potentate had, under the plea that his neighbour and ally was sick, and in imminent danger, been compassing in his mind how the territory of that neighbourhood could be parcelled out for his own advantage. And yet we have had too many among ourselves who joined in the cry that the colonies were sick even unto death, and who were ready to abandon these immense territories to whatever fate might happen to befall them. Most fortu nately, such sentiments prevailed but to a limited extent in Parliament, and I entertain a strong hope that the demonstration of this evening will entirely dissipate them. The principle of governing your great dependen cies on those same constitutional principles on which this country has been governed since the revolution of 1688, is no longer an experiment, for our meeting this evening is a reco gn iti on o f i ts ent i re success , and th. happy consequence mus t b e , th a t i nstea d o f b e ing looked_ on as in a stat e o f t rans iti on , we must b e c onsidered by the world at large as having political institutions as stable and as pe r m anen t as an y independent power either in Europe o r A mer i ca . The doubts which have prevailed regarding the stability of our institu tions have done us in c alculable injury. Like our neigh bours in the United States we have had extensive public works to construct, and we have been, and must continue to he, borrowers of money. I believe that no thing has tended so much to damage our credit as the prevalence of the opin:ou that thereis evening w a e s n n in o g st w ab il i l li b ty e in our institutions. The meeting this great importance in removing such distrust. There is, however, another circumstance to which, in the opinion of some of those round this table even more importance may attach. Last Saturday was the day on which the first loan ever contracted for Canada fell due. I recol lect well the predictions made a few years ago that our bonds could not be paid without our obtaining a fresh loan. On that day, however, I am happy to say, these bonds were paid out of a surplus revenue, and in an other year a similar amount will be paid from the same source. This money was expended in the construction o f s hip canals, which are the admiration of all who visit them. They are now paying a considerable revenue - but they have long since, by reduction of freights, and. the 4AgrefllC4 valu: a prop erty, paid for illopzoolTou 111111 Ding the h of acs iuZi . irs; Des ; dus, arg ; roe; .oti rp ; ,yal, 3.1123 Fre icy ; ) on arch roar cpe 7ind yes- Mg. k 11 ag e° l a 4 ,re to ; o .l t Ocl I
