Licentiate of Apothecaries' Hall, London, &c., Theessontial object of this treatise is to point out the fearful con- Sequences resulting from certain 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, other class of disease known to modern pathologists. Its perusal is 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 withont incurring grievous penalties, and when wisdom and reret 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 consequenc es may be avoided, and above all, that there is scarcely any degree of physical infirmity or functional derangement to which the timely aid of science cannot apply a cure. The Author 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 etaplrics, who inflict great injury on those who are induced to place Null in their pretensions.

LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, JUL Y 8, 1854. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF LORDS-(YESTERDAY.) The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the woolsack at five o'clock. MARINE CASUALTIES. Lnrd FING\LL presented a petition from the in habitants of the county of the town of Drogheda, em bodying a full statement of marine casualties for t'Ae last four and a half years, and praying for the most efficient and impartial Government survey of that dangerous coast, in order that a harbour of refuse be constructed in the most judicious position. CONSOLIDATION OF THE STATUTE LAW. In reply to Lord LYNDHURST, The LORD CHANCELLOR did not intend to in. troduce any bills this session founded upon the reports of the counnis-toners for the consolidation of the statute law, but the reports would be printed, in order that they might be c , nsidered during the recess, but next session he would propose certlin bills grounded on the reports with the view of their passing into law. the heads of houses should be deprived of a direct repre sentation. What advantage would it be to them to have a voice in the election of professors, when they were but 25 against 200 or 300 masters of arts ?Vine did not be lieve that the heads of houses would elect their represen tatives by seniority, but would send their ablest men to the board. He hoped their lordships would adhere to the bill as it had come up from the other house. The Earl of DERBY said they had the unanimous vote of the whole University of Cambridge, in favour of the principle that each body should elect their own re presentatives to the governing body ; and this was an argument in favour of the clause as it stood. Their lordships then divided— For the amendment lO7 Against it ... Majority ---24 The Earl of DERBY asked for an explanation of that part of the clause which required six professors to be elected, and one professor to be separately elected. The flake of NEWCASTLE said it was proposed to omit those words. The Earl of DERBY said he objected to the govern ing power being entrusted to the resident body alone. He regretted that the system was not ad pted which had been recommended both by the commissioners and the university itself—that there should be two governing bodies. They had now decided that there should be one, and they proposed to ex: lude from all representa tion about iiine-tenths of the members of the universities, oy confining it to the residents. It was very much like a scheme for throwing the whole power in the university into the hands of one party, of about 250 members. No uch objection could arise it the convocation with its 2,500 members had hal its powers reserved. 'They were handing over Oxford to be governed, .not by a free re presentation but by a limited - oligarchy, whose views were confined to the university Itself, who had had little _eiperience beyond its walls, and who had not learned, by mixing with the world at large, to take more liberal and extended views of the interests of the university. He, therefore, proposed to omit the words " the con. gregation hereinafter mentioned," and insert " the con vo,ation." Viscount CANNING said it was quite impossible for the Government to accede to this amendment. After s;ating the considerations by which the Government had been led to propose the clause as it stood, he observed that the argument of the noble earl was the same as that on which universal suffrage was advocated in refe rence to Parliamentary representation. He contended that no body could be so fit to decide on questions of teaching and discipline as the great body of tutors and professors . yesident in the university. If the opposite plan were adopted, tha members of convocation would be summoned to Oxford rather to support the party they espoused than to give an independent vote. The Earl of MALMESBURY said that the speech of the noble viscount was just such a one as might have been expected some 70 or 80 years ago, if the subject of Parliamentary reform had been mooted. His noble friend saw some analogy between the amendment and universal suffrage. Well, he (Lord Malmesbury) should not object to universal suffrage if the country were peopled only with adult and well-educated men. But who were the persons of whom the noble viscount was afraid l Why, men who had been educated like himself and with himself (for he believed the noble lord was a a Master of Arts) ; at all events, if he was not, many of their lordships were ; and yet the noble lord compared them with au unfortunate class whom they were dis cus-ing the other night— the dog cart driv ers. (L aug h ter. ) The Bishop of OXFORD said the noble earl who had just spoken appeared to be under an entire misapprehen sion as to the objects of those who supported the clause. Thy did not wish the give the government of the university to congregation ; hut they simply proposed to entrust to it one special function —namely, the elec tion of the hebdomadal council, which was itself only the executive body of the university, for every measure must ultimately cone before convocation. Neither lrid they argued that convocation was unfit to perform that duty ; they only said that it was less fit than congregation, which would be composed of men whose daily occupation was university instruction and discipline. (Hear.) Con . regation would also possess another advantage ; it would be less liable to those sudden clffiatus of new theo ries, to which non-resident members of the university who usually took their opinions on trust, were occa sionally subject. He thought therefore that congrega tion would be the safest body to entrust with the duty pr ,, poed to be' committed to it. He believed that all the principal organs of opinion were obliged to resort to the resident members of the universities for their ablest writers—a most remarkable circumstance, and one that completely disproved the idea that the residents were men of monkish habits of thought and of contracted The fact was, they knew far more of what was gassing in the world around them than could possibly be We case with a clergyman who gave himself up to the conscientious performance of the. duties of a country parish. At all events, he protested against bringing every member of convocation up to Oxford every three years. (Hear, hear,) views. The Earl of DERBY said that what he complained of was that measures would nut necessarily go before convocation, for it would he in the power of congrega tion to prevent them from ever being submitted to the larger body. Aftersome fu rtlitlr con verßation, the committee divided: For "congregation" 99 For "convocation" The clause was then agreed to. Clauses 11-14 were inserted after clause G. On clause 15—' the Vice• Chancellor to make a regis ter of congregation." The Earl of DERBY wished to know whether that register was to be conclusive as to who were members ? Toe Duke of NEWCASTLE said it was intended to be binding. Toe Earl of DERBY would suggest to the Govern ment the omission of the latter part of the clause, pro viding that "if the vice-chancellor failed to comply with the provisions of the section to the satisfaction of the commissioners, the commissioners shOuld thereupon carry the same into effect," &c. The clause, with thi s amen d ment, "toN CANNING at l e n t i o o n o b o j f ec t t h i e o n co t t ri h l i e sll e omission rs of Viscount the a u s words e sI6 C wa s agreed to. Cl On clause 19, r e l a ti ng to the promulgation o f statutes, to 18 inclusi ve were a l so agree d to. The Earl of DERBY said, in his opinion, the effect of the clauses on that subject, as they then stood, would be to constitute the 250 resident members of the univer sity a mere debating society, devoid of any power of proposing amendment s . Viscount CANNING dissented from that view. The Bishop of CHICHESTER said he should move the omission of all the words which gave to the congre gation power to constitute themselves an intercepting body between the hebdomadal council and convocation in reference to a statute. After a few words from the Bishop of OxFoRD in sup port of the clause, The Bishop of CHICHESTER said as it did not op- pear likely that he wou:d receive sufficient support, he should withdraw the amendment. also The clausesst oodto ; aud. speak h. The Earl of DERBY said he thought that in 'such matters the liebdoniarlal board ought to have the power of regulating its own proceedings. Viscount CANNING considered it desirable that a iiii.lority should have facilities for making its opinions generally known. The clause was then agreed to.. On clause 23, I: i )Irtihneaitp Yoveßlai; tleh.isthc:liatusoef i t n h t e r o re u p c r e e d . s e ntation of the minority -_ a pri nc i p l e wh i ch, w h en in troduced into the Rabana Bill, met with universal con to for E fir rl s of ER demnation. (Herr, hear.) I n all cases the minority ttiinea ß n must submit to the majority, of principle they had several examples th it night. (Laughter.) There night be some show of reaso n for t h e i ntro d uct i on o f that principle into the election of members of Parlia ment, because in that case there was party organisation and party division which was not, „rid which he hoped would not, be the case in congregation, T he D u ke of NEWCASTLE thought it right to ob viate the possibility of any dominant party having the election of the whole governing body in its hands. He thought the noble earl was mistaken in saying that the principle of the representation of minorities was univer sally condemned. It was misunderstood for some time, but the more it was before the public the more it was appreciated. Lord INIONTEA.GLE thought the principle of the representation of the minority a wise one. The clause was then agreed to, with the addition of a proviso to the effect that no elector should have more than one vote for each candidate. Clause 24 was agreed to. The Earl of PO ISIS moved the following clause after clause 24 : "It shall be lawful for the convocation of the university to provide, if it shall think fit, that votes may be given either personally or by proxies, being tnembers of convocation, authorised by writing, accord ing to the form in the Schedule B to this act annexed, or in a form to the like effect, under the hand of the member of convocation nominating such proxy, at any election of a chancellor of the university or of a burgess to serve in Parliament." The clergy being excluded from becoming members of Parliament, he thought that every facility should be given to them to express their views with regard to those who were to represent them. It was a great check upon that expression, that the members of convocation were compelled to come from distant parts of the country to the university before they could vote. Viscount CANNING said this Government were ready to adopt the clause as far as it applied to the chan cellor. With regard to the members for the university. there would, he thought, be a prejudice against its ap plication to them in the other House of Parliament. Lord CAMPBELL said the proposition of the noble earl would be a great constitutional innovation. It seemed to him to lie highly unconstitutional to vote by proxy for the election of members of Parliament. Then might be a change in the administration, or some other great change in the interval between the giving the prox . ) and the giving the vote. (Hear, hear.)

The Duke of NEWCASTLE suggested that no tice should be given of the amendments, and that they should be brought forward on the report. The Duke of MONTROSE consented to adopt this course. Clauses 34, 35, and 3G were agreed to. On clause 37, The Earl of DERBY suggested some amendments, which the Lord Chancellor promised to consider. , . Clauses 37 to 44 were agreed to. Oa clause 45, The Earl of DERBY said he had oome down to the house disposed to admit Dissenters as a matter of grace and favour, but after the clause which had been phased that night, and after the glosses which had been put it, he could not now consent to give any facilities for their admission.

The object of the clauses was only to remove those ob stacles which had hitherto prevented the university from dealing with the question. But did the noble earl - think that the admission of dissenters, and even of Jews into the colleges would be a safer thing for the church or the university than to admit them by means of privet* halls ? (Hear.) The Earl of DERBY considered that the admission of Dissenters into colleges on the understanding that they were to submit to their discipline, did not alter the cha racter either of those colleges or the university. litot he considered that if Dissenters were to he, plated in belle by thetpselves, and exempt e d f rom the getikiil rglgious teaching of the university, it would be it flit I MO upon the character of the university.

What he should have proposed was that the university should grant only honorary degrees to persons who were indisposed to sign the Ankles. The Duke of ARGYLL wished to impress upon their lordships the importance of any religious body placing the most liberal construction on their rules, so as to -tdinit Dissenters, provided that the general management and discipline were not altered. He thought the clause would very materially strengthen the Church of Eng land. The Earl of HARROWBy supported the clause. The Bishop of RIPON expressed his dissent from the clause. After some further discussion, the clause was agreed to. On clause 46 a division was taken. For the clause Against it 47-26 The clause was then added to the bill. The rest of the clauses were agreed to, and the house resumed. The other orders of the day having been disposed of, their lordships adjourned. ROUSE OF COMMONS—(YESTERDAY.) The SPEAKER took the chair at 4 o'clock. PRIVATE BUSINESS. The Lords' amendment to the Rannow Reclamation Bill and the Traethbach Bridge and Road Bill were con sidered and agreed to. On the motion that the Lords' amendments to the Nliddlesex Industrial Schools Bill be considered and agreed Lord D. STUART moved that the consideration of the amendments be postponed until this day three months. Re made that motion because the Lords' had struck out of the bill the provisions which it originally contained for ena bli ng o ff enders to obtain religious in struction, notwithstanding that they dissented from the Established Church. Offenders of all denominations were entitled to the consolations of their own religious teachers, and it was nothing less than an act of bigotry and intolerance to refuse them that consolation. There were other amendments of the kind which he objected to, but it was the striking out of this provision relative to the religious instruction that he principally found fault with, and since the amendment made by the Lords ,iad made the bill worse, which he had always objected to, he had no alternative but to move that the Lords' amendments be considered this day three months. Sir J. V. SHELLEY seconded the amendment, be lieving that the reformation of juvenile offeuders should Fee made the s u bj ec t o f a general Government measure, and not dealt with in an isolated niatMer, throwing the expense of the reformatory schools upon the particular listricts in which they were established. The time had gone by for tolerating religious bigotry, it should be discountenanced no matter from what denomination it came ; and he trusted the house would reject these amendments of the Lords, as they were a complete , _rnbodunent of the spirit of Protestant bigotry directed against the civil and religious liberty of Roman Catholics. Mr. N EWDEGATE supported the amendments, believing that it was at variance with the interest of the State to recognise the authority of Roman Catholic drissts, even in a private bill, as this one undoubtedly was. The bill, as it had been amended, would be most useful and salutary. Mr. J. BA LL opposed the passing of the bill with the clause appended to it, by the committee of the Lords. Sir G. GREY explained the coarse taken by the corn •inittee of the Lords in reference to this bill. He read a portion of 7th Geo. IV. c. 74, which enacted that three chaplains shall be appointed fur every county prison in Ireland, one Protestant, one Presbyterian, and one Roman Catholic, and which further provided for the celebration of divine worship according to each of those three forms of worship every Sunday in those prisons. He was prepared to disagree with the Lords' amendment, but he was not disposed to support the motion of Lord 0. Stuart as it would have the effect of rejecting the bill together. At the same time, seeing the pro , pect there was of the passing of the Juvenile Offenders Bill which contained the provision struck out of this bill, if the house thought the Lords would not be induced to recon sider their decision, perhaps the best course would be to reject these amendments altogether. Mr. MILES opposed the motion to reject the bill. Lord D. STUART said after what had fallen from the right hon. baronet the Secretary of State for the colo nies, he was prepared to change his motion for another, namely, that the house disagree with the Lords' amend ment. Mr. M. MILNES hoped the bill would be withdrawn. Mr. LUCAS argued that the object of the Lords' amendments was to change the character of the bill from a reformatory bill to a proselytising bill, and therefore he called upon the house not to reject the bill alto gether, but simply to disagree with the Lords' amend ments. • Lord D. STUART, as the member in charge of the hill, begged the house to allow him to remark that this debate was another illustration of 'how religious differ ences could stand in the way of useful legislation. (H e ar, hear.) However, all he asked the house to do was, not to reject the Lords' amendments, as that course would he tantamount to throwing out the bill for the session. Mr. ADDERLEY said, the clause which had been struck out by the Lords was wholly impracticable; if it lad remained in the bill the measure would have been iselsss, and although he was by no means deficient in religious tolerance, he thought the Lords had acted wisely in rejecting the clause. (Hear, hear.) Cho clause was simply this ; it empowered the children ,f all denomination s to be instructed by their own re- Agious teachers, according to the religious persuasion of :heir parents, so that, it a child's parents were to pro -e" infidelity, this clause would insist upon the child being brought up in these reformatory schools to entertain the ,erine opinions. (Cheers ) After some observations from Colonel Blair, Mr. Williams, and Mr. Dunlop, the amendment that the Lords' amendments be considered this day three months vas withdrawn. A portion of the Lords' amendments, which were of a verbal nature, were then agreed to. Lord D. STUART moved to disagree with the Lords' tmendinents, which prevented children of other religious denominations than the Established Church from having iivine worship celebrated in these schools according to their own faith. Sir J. PA KINGTON said if the house rejected these amendments the bill was lost for this session. Lord J.

LEONARDS, The LORD CaANUELLOR said it was the inten tion of the Government to withdraw for the present' s.e , sion the Testamentary Jurisdiction Bill. The reason for taking this course was the difficulty which would ari,e in considering this bill, without having before them 'he whole question of ecclesiastical jurisdiction. .1 - le, however, meant to go on with the Divorce Bill, which could he easily dealt with separately, and which, if passed, would effect a very necessary and much-desired improvement in the existing law. UNIVERSITY OF OXFORD. The Earl of DERBY presente.l a petition from 145 resident members of the University tif Oxford, against the separation of the University from the Established Church. The Earl of 'WINCHESTER strongly inveighed against the proposal to separate the University from the Church, which, he said, if carried into effect, would lead to the downfall of the Throne and all our institu tions. UNIVERSITY OF OXFORD BILL. Their lordships then went into committee upon this bill ; Lord REDESDALE in the chair. Lord CANNING moved the postponement of the preamble. The Earl of ELLENBOROUGH said it was very necessary to postpone it, for unless the bill was mate• rially altered it would be entirely inconsistent with the ' preamble. The preamble recited that the measure was one for the "advancement of religion ;" but the bill so far from promoting religion, contained some provisions which might be considered to have an opposite effect. (Hear, hear, from the Earl of Derby.) If the bill were not very much amended, he should certainly move the omission of these words in the preamble. (Hear.) The preamble was then postponed. On clause 1, • The Earl of ELLENBOROUGH moved the inser tion of the Earl of Harrowby's name in the first portion of the clause, the object of which was to give precedence to the noble earl over the rest of the commissioners. The amendment was agreed to. On clause 4, relating to oaths, Lord BERNERS moved the omission of the words, " And no oath which may have been taken by any such officer shall be pleadable in bar of any authorities of the said commissioners." Viscount CANNING sail he must oppose the amend ment. It appeared to her Majesty's Government that in dealing with this question of oaths, it was very de sirable to remove every impediment which might arise from motives of conscience ; and as the colleges had administered oaths by virtue of authority given by the state, so the state, being the dominant power, had a right to absolve from the obligation of such oaths. Lord BERNERS said he must persist in the amend ment. Their lordships then divided— For Lord Berners's amendment 64 Against 77-13 The clause was then agreed to. On clause 5, The Earl of DERBY observed that the new constitu tion was to come into operation on the very day when the examination; were held, and when the annual ac ounts of all the colleges were in course of settlement. This would be very inconvenient, and it would there fore be better to postpone for a few weeks the coming into operation of the new system. He would there f ire suggest that the words " on or before the 14th day of December" should be substituted for the words "upon the 14th day of Michaelmas Term." Again, 11 , 4 the bill now stood, the powers of the heb lonotdal board were to be transferred to the new hebdomadal council on the 14th day of Michaelmas Term, 1854, and by the 10th clause the members of the liefl , lomidal council were to be elected on the 15th day of Michaelmas Icin;;; that the powers of the present board were to be trans ferred to the new council before they were elected. (Hear.) There was here a, jumble , f dates which ought to be rectified. The noble earl suggested an alteration of the clauses which, without altering the object of the Gov , rninent, would carry out their intention in a more simple manner. Viscount CANNING concurred in the propriety of altering the arrangement of the clauses, which would be an improvement. The clause was then agreed to. On clause 6, The Earl of ELLEN BOROUGH called attention to some verbal inaccuracies in the wording of this clause. In a bill for reconstructing a university, the grammar °net at least to be accurate. (Laughter.) The Earl of DERBY said that in declaring the per eplearu person 6as had the beenC Chancellor. agreed cello r. to, (L they per sons who were to cons tit u t e t h e new governing b ody, (Laughter.) the Gov ernment seemed to forget that there was such a t e e n r m . )e seemed t f t o e r h , a ve however, recol lected that there was such a person, for two additional clauses . were added to the bill, in which Lord Chanc e ll or did occur. (Laughter.) the name of the to insert in th e p resent clause beforei t,e,ri) Vice-Chancellor" anc proposed the word " Chanc e ll or ," w hi ch would obviate - then e e ll" neces sity of the two additional clauses. Viscount CANNING, in seconding the amendment, said his noble friend was well aware that he had not been forgotten, because the bill empowered the Chan cellor to appoint one professor and oue head of house to represent him. Lord WARD proposed the insertion of the following clause in lieu of clause 6 :—" The hebdomadal council shall consist of the vice-chancellor, the proctors, six heads of colleges or halls, six professors of the univer sity, together with -ix members of convocation of not less than five years standing, to be elected by the con gregation hereinafter mentioned of the said university, and the vice-chancellor or his deputy shall be the presi dent of such hebdomadal council." His object in pro posing this clause was, to bring about uaanim:ty of action, and to make the principle of representation what t should be, a free and fair one. (Hear, hear.) The Earl of CA.RNA.R.VON stiggeste I the introduc tion of the word "Chancellor" before Vice-Chancellor in the new clause, and - the omission of the words "to be clauseelected." was By rendered ierwl dubious.retainingthose words the meaning of the The Earl of DONOUG HIVIORE said that it was desir able that the six heads of houses should be elected by those who were acquainted with them, and the s .me reason hell good with regard to the professors. They had to reconcile, he would not say conflicting interests,• but conflicting opinions ; and this being so, it was not logical that each body should elect the persons who were to represent them on the council. Not being a member of the University of Oxford himself, of which the noble lord was a member for many years, he could not say what was the object of the noble lord in proposing the clause ; but there seemed to exist a feeling of hostility to the heads of houses in the proposition of the noble lord. (Order, order.) The Duke of NEWCASTLE and Lord Ward rose together, but the former addressing the house, said he earnestly entreated that anything like personality-- (loud cheers)— might be avoided in the discussion of this question. The noble earl, the leadez of the opposition and the chancellor of the university, set them au admir able example, both last night and on the present occa sion, which he trusted would be steadily and implicitly followed. (Cheers.) It the noble earl who had just sat down had been a member of the University of Oxford, lie would have avoided the observations he made, and he hoped his noble friend (Lord Ward) woßld not reply to these observations, because no one could impute to him any other motive in the amendment he proposed than the good of the univsrsity and of all classes in it, (Hear, hear.) With regard to the amendment itself, he thought the remark of the noble earl behind him (the Eta of Carnarvon) was perfectly applicable, and that the clause as it stood would not carry out the intention of his noble friend. He hoped that the committee would concur in the propriety of making th e congregation the elective body. They were of sufficient number, between 250 and 300, constantly resident at Oxford, and therefore well ' acquainted with the merits of those whom it was pro• posed to elect. He thought there was much truth in the suggestion of Lord Ward, that the heads of houses would elect the six senior heads of houses. He should therefore support the amendment of the noble lord. The Earl of HARR° W BY opposed the amendment. The Bishop of OXFORD said the object was not to have in the hebdomadal council three sets of men repre senting different interests, but men chosen from three different bodies, all representing their common univer sity. This was a vital objection to the clause as it stood. Men might stand well with their limited circle, the heads of houses, who had no peculiar qualification as men of business for this office. Another reason in favour Of the amendment was, that the heads of houses would not have their proper weight in the hebdomadal council if they were put in as nominees. (Hear.) This was always found to be the case in bodies where there were nominees of the crown and persons elected by popular suffrage in the same assembly. The former did not enjoy the influ ence which belonged to them ; and the heads of houses, if e'ected by thernselves, would be looked upon as the representatives of a class. The effect of such a measure would be to crystallise temporary antagonism, and fix and perpetuate the differences of the day. (Hear, hear.) The Earl of PO W'S thought it moot undesirable thaw g
