To which are wide Commentaries on the Physiology of Marriage, with pre cautionary hints on the evils emanating from empirical practice, and on the dangerous remedies advocated by various writers on these important disorders. Doctor of Medicine, Matriculated Member of the University of Edit punt, Honorary W.,mber of the London Hospital Medical Society, Licentiate a Apothecaries' Hall, London. &c., &c. The essential 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, any 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 that all men ihould know, that there are principles of personal management whh cannobe viated witout incurring grievous penalties, and when ic t o wisdom d regret succ h eed the heyday of inconsidsrate self-indulgence, how these penalties may be mitigated, how the sting of their bitterness may be removed, and how the evil anti its consequences 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 been too generally confided to the care of ignorant empirics, who inflict great injury on those who are induced to place faith in their pretensions.

Lord BROUGHAM, in moving the second reading of this bill, said its object was to .compel witnessea in civil cases to attend a trial in any part of the United Kingdom when subpcened in the or dinary manner. In consequence of the present state of the law the greatest inconvenience was felt, as in order to obtain the evidence of a wit ness in Scotland or Ireland, in a case tried in England, it was necessary to issue a 'commission, which involved great expense. (Hear.) A clause would be introduced to provide for the expenses of witnesses. The LORD CHANCELLOR expressed his approval of the bill. After a few words from Lord BROUGHAM, it was read a second time. terms had reference to a scheme which one or two mem bers of the university thought likely to prove very useful, that of uniting private halls together. Lord SEYMOUR thought the word " great" had better be left out, as it did not add anything to the simple word " hall." The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said the "great halls" would be an aggregation of the private halls. Mr. HENLEY said that while power was given to unite these bodies, no power was given to separate them. It would appear as though it were intended to unite thern'in perpetuity. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL said the clause clearly fixed the condition on which the aggregation and its con tinuance depended. Clause 30, with verbal amendments, was then agreed to. On clause 31. Sir W. HEATHCOTE said there were two or three re spects in which this clause appeared to him to require amendment. For instance, as the clause stood, he thought it would still be open to the commissioners to deal with the preferences as they thought proper, and they might do away with them. Again, as regarded the right of appeal to the Privy Council, he thought the clause was too vague. The Privy Council would hardly know what to do when applicants came before them. The first alteration which he would propose was to omit " it is expedient to enable," andeto insert "the interests of religion and learning, and the main designs of founders arid donors would in many cases be advanced by enabling." The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER thought the adoption of the amendment would lead to consider able confusion in the adjustment of the rest of the sen tence. There were one or two changes which he himself proposed to make in the clause. As regard the word merits," he did not wish now to insist that in no case should a college emolument be obtained except through the test of an examination. He did not mean to say that the Government had receded from the views which they had expressed on that subject ; but in the bill as it originally stood there were provisions for cases in which other con siderations than personal merit were taken into account. He should be alarmed at the adoption of the words of his hon. friend ; for if they were inserted, merits, though form ing ever so small an element, Would not be admitted. He thought it would be best to introduce the word " fitness," which constantly occurred in the college statutes. Two other changes were contemplated, to which he did not anti cipate any objection. It had been pointed out that the e nabling powers did not distinctly include a power of in troducing into the statutes provisions under which amend ments might be made ; and he therefore proposed to insert certain words to remedy that defect. Lastly, this clause , gave power to override the statutes of the college ; he pro posed that there should be power to override all docu ments. Mr. L. WIGRAM supported the amendment. The committee divided — For Sir W. Heathcote's amendment Against 9l-1t Mr. WALPOLE proposed in the same clause, after the word colleges to insert " with the consent of the visitors." He trusted that the Government would consent to this amendment, as otherwise there was no party to stand in ; the place of the founders upon the question of any altera-1 tion in the college statutes. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER was sorry he could not fall in with the proposition of his right hon. friend. It really amounted to this that the visitors should be invested with a vote enabling them to undo what was proposed to be done by the bill. (Hear.) Thus Parliament could have planned a difficult and intricate machinery, all of which might at one moment he stopped by the caprice of one individual. And again, he would ask who were the visitors? He believed them to be men, generally speaking, of eminence and position; but their connexion with the colleges was of so exceptional a character that ho did not think they were altogether fitted to give a decided opinion upon questions as to improvements or alterations in the statutes of-any college. Take, for instance, the case of the Bishop of Winchester,—a man who could bring a good judgment and high principle to any question which might come before him. The right rev. prelate was the visitor of a college, and he (the Chancellor of the Exchequer) did not suppose that his lordship had been thrice referred to in this capacity of visitor since he stood in that position. Under such circumstances he did not think it right to give the visitor a final and overruling judgment upon so momentous a question. Mr. WALPOLE did not think the right hon. gentleman took a proper view of the position of visitors. He (Mr. Walpole) considered the visitor to stand in the position of a trustee for those institutions which were connected with colleges. Thus in all questions concerning schools, unless the visitor 'had the right he proposed to give him, there would be no one to represent the interest of the schools, end thus alterations in the statutes, of a very disadvan tageous character, might be made without any one to pro test against them. Mr. NEWDEGATE thought that the Chancellor of the Exchequer reduced the visitors to mere ornaments. The committee might depend upon it that the founders iff naming them, meant that they should stand in a different position. Mr. R. PHILLIMORE held a middle course between the right hon. gentleman opposite (Mr. Walpole) and the Chancellor of the Exchequer. He thought that an abso lute veto was too much power for a visitor to have, and at the same he thought he ought to have some voice in the matter of the alteration of statutes. He would suggest that it should be enacted that colleges ought to take coun sel with their visitors before any alteration being made. Sir W. HEATHCOTE doubted whether the suggestion of the hon. gentleman (Mr. R. Palmer) would lead to any practical good whatever. It was no use declaring that the colleges should take counsel with their visitors, if they were allowed to disregard 'the visitors' advice. (Hear.) He thought it would be better to give the visitors a right of appeal to the Privy Council against alteration in the statutes which they might deem improper. Mr. G. VERNON was decidedly opposed to giving the visitor a veto; at the same time, he thought it was only proper that the visitor should have some voice in the matter. Mr. HENLEY complained that the clause contained no safeguard that the will of the founder should be fol lowed in the smallest manner. Lord J. RUSSELL said that it did not appear to him that the appointment of visitors was made at all with a view to such an enactment as was now under consideration. The founder appointed a visitor with a view to the keep ing in force of the statutes which were imposed by him upon the college. Now, it might happen very well that a person of eminence and position was fit to see that these statutes were observed, but it by no means followed that such a party was the one who should be selected to hare a veto against those alterations and improvements which Parliament might think desirable. Their time and their attention might be taken up too much with the other duties to enable them to enter upon such a task. With regard to the suggestion of the hon. baronet (Sir W. Heath cote) of giving a right of appeal to the visitor, lie (Lord J. Russell) thought that was very reasonable in its nature, and ho thought, when the proper part of the bill came be fore the committee, that tho Government would not object to some such proviso. Mr. PHINN thought that this was one of the objections which must arise in the endeavour to apply a general enact ment to the varying statutes of different colleges. He could not but think himself that if former visitors had ful filled their duty, there would have been no need of this enactment. He thought this neglect of duty was the rea son of the present state of Magdalen and All Souls. The amendment of Mr. Walpole was then negatived without a division. Sir W. HEATHCOTE moved to alter the words "to insure the same (i. e. college emoluments) being conferred according to personal merits," into " to prevent the same from being conferred without reference to personal merits." He thought the wording of the clause as it stood was too loose and not in accordance with what he understood to be the real view of the Government upon this question. Mr. R. PALMER considered this clause as it stood was against the principle on which the bill was originally framed. Ho had thought that in some circumstances it was intended to hold sacred the preferences expressed in the will of the founder so far as regarded a preference being given, other things being equal to the inhabitants of certain districts. The affirmative character of the pro posed enactment made it absolutely requisite to be guided by personal merit only. (Hear.) The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said the learned gentleman would best understand the introduction of the words as they stood in the clause by a consideration of the principle of the bill itself. The best course would be to combine together the word " merits" with the word " fiuess, ' which was the simple English translation of the standard now recognised by the statutes. Mr. HEY WOOD thought the clause was exceedingly good as it stood. He did not see any great advantage in having the word " fitness" ; the term personal merits" would be quite sufficient. Mr. J. G. PIIILLIMORE remarked that if the object of the Government was to abolish the existing standards, they ought to use words that would distinctly convey that meaning. On the other hand, if they did not, let them put in words which should show clearly that they did not intend to exclude considerations arising out of birth or particular schools, and thou there would be no ambiguity about the matter. Mr. CARR suggested the insertion of the word "both," which would make the line run thus : " both according to personal merits and fitness." Mr. HENLEY believed the words as they stood would not exclude any claim to preference. Mr. ROUNDELL PALMER moved to leave out the word " according," in order to insert the words " with a due regard." Tho SOLICITOR-GENERAL reminded the committee that the words of the clause had been chosen in conformity with the preamble of the bill, which would enable the col legea to retain the prefe re nces when thz school, or institu tion, or body enjoying the preference could present a suffi cient number •of properly qualified candidates for the scholarships. Mr. L. WIGRAM objected that the words, as they then stood, would enable the colleges to abolish preferences which he, for one, wanted is avoid. The candidate entitled to preference might be perfectly fit for the scholarship, but the working of the clause would enable the college to take the best candidate without reference to preference at all. For instance, in one of the colleges there was a Welch foundation now devoted exclusively to Welchmen ; but ac cording to this clause the college would have to select the most fit candidate that might offer himself, without re ference to the part of the country he came from. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said it would appear as if the hon. and learned gentleman wanted to saddle upon. Oxford restrictio ns which the sister univer sity had almost entirely a bolished. The hon. I:unearned gentleman would g ive Oxford no power of liberating her self from the restrictions of the statutes, but the doctrine of the hon. and learned gentleman wont to the whole root of the bill in its present form. The hon. and learned gentle man says he would give no power _t it h h at could possibly be abused ; but to accomplish that end }they must throw over this enabling bill, and revert to the original compulsory measure. exp l a ined that the intention of Sir W. HEATHC OTE the amendment was to give the colleges, and the commis sioners power to deal with preferences if they so thought fit ; and he confessed he thought that discretion ought to be left to them, subject, of course, to the guards against an abuse of the power which other parts of the bill provided. Mr. H. -VERNON bad no fear whatever of the power being abused. What he complained of was that the bill but at the same time rile did not give sufficient powers ; ATTRACTIVE NOVELTIES.

He said that towards the close of last session he received a memorial from the Legislative Council of Canada in favour of bringing the constitution of that colony more in accordance with public feel ing in the colony ; and at the , commencement of the present year he received a further memorial suggesting a form of bill by which the Council might be changed from a nominative to an elected body. It then became his duty to consider how the bbject of the memo rialists could be best carried into effect, and it occurred to him that there were three modes—first, adopting the draft sent from Canada'; secondly, inviting the Parliament of Canada to . send home a bill prepared and passed by themselves, which would require to be sanctioned by an act of the English Parliament ; and, idly, by repealing these provisions in the Act of - "Ilion with Canada, which prevented the Legislative Council legislating for itself. The noble duke then pointed out the objections which he entertained to the first two courses, and intimated that it was his intention to adopt the third, and to delegate to the Canadian Parliament the right of legislating in regard to its constitution, subject of course to the confirmation of the Crown—in short, simply to remove. the hin drances which now existed to local legislation. (Hear, hear.) This was the only object of the present bill, and it was entirely in accordance with the soundest principles of colonial legislation. The bill would remove useless and inconvenient restrictions, which had given the colony a just ground of complaint, and he hoped their lordships would agree to the second reading. Earl DES ART thought the bill would give a dan gerous power to the Legislative Council, and expressed a hope that so important a measure would be postponed, in order to enable Earl Derby and other peers on his side of the house to express their opinions upon it. After some observations from Lord WHARNOLIFFE, Lord ELLENBOROUGH thought we had gone so far in concession to Canada that the question now was, whether we ought not to sever the connexion between that colony and the mother country entirely, and thus get rid of a responsibility from which very little ad vantage was derived in time of peace, while great harm might arise from it in the event of war. He thought it incumbent on the Government to ascertain the opinion of leading personages in the colony on this question with as little delay as possible. The Duke of NEWCASTLE expressed his astonish ment that any one in Lord Ellenborough's position should have expressed doctrines which were as unpa latable to the colonists as they were to their lordships' house. For his own part, he would never belong to a Government which was a party to the separation of the colonies from the mother country, for he regarded such a step as hostile to the best interests of the colonies, and as an offence against the Sovereignty of the Crown. After some further discussion, in which Lords Malmes bury, Brougham, and Harnowby took part, The Duke of NEWCASTLE replied that the bill was simply an enabling bill, and there was nothing in it to prevent the local Legislature from so constituting the Upper Chamber as that it should have an existence either permanent (the members sitting during life), or for a definite number of years. The bill was then read a second time. HIGH TREASON (IRELAND) BILL. VACCINATION ACT AMENDMENT BILL. This bill passed through committee. EXCISE DUTIES BILL. This bill was read a second time, and ordered to be committed. BISHOPRIC OF SYDNEY. In answer to a question from Lord REDEBD ALE. The Duke of NEWCASTLE entered into an explana tion of the circumstances from which delay had occurred in the appointment of a successor to the late Bishop of Sydney, who died in England on the 20th of February, 1853.. He had himself recommended the translation of Bishop Selwyn, of New Zealand, but the Bishop only a few days ago declined to accept the appointment. Under these circumstances, he anticipated that a clergyman resident in the colony would be promoted to the vacant metropolitan see. Lord' REDESDALE was understood to express him• self satisfied with the explanation. Their lordships adjourned at eight o'clock. HOUSE OF COMMONS—(YESTERDAY.) The SPEAKER took the chair at 4 o'clock. NEW MEMBER. Lord J. RUSSELL took the oaths and his seat on his ro-election for the city of London. The noble lord, who was received with loud cheers, was introduced by Sir C. Wood and Lord Harry Vane, PRIVATE BUSINESS. The Lords' Amendments to the following bills were con sidered and agreed to :—Aocrington Gas and Waterworks; Doncaster Cemetery ; Havering, Dagenham, &c. Sewers. The Caledonian Railway (Wishaw and Coltness line) Bill was read a third time and passed. Mr. GE A CH moved that the Sydenham andFarnborough Railway Bill be recommitted to the former committee, with leave to sit and proceed on Monday next. Mr. JACKSON seconded the motion. Mr. JAMES MACGREGOR defended the course taken by the South Eastern Railway Company in this matter. Lord H. VANE supported the motion for the recom mittal of the bill. After a few words from Mr. RUM, The motion was agreed to. Mr. GEACH then moved that the West London and Crystal Palace Railway (Bromley and Farnborough) Bill be recommitted to the former committee, with leave to sit and proceed on Monday next. The motion was agreed to. PETITIONS. Petitions were presented by Mr. JAS. M`GREGOR, from Leeds, praying for closing public houses on Sundays; by Mr. ROEBUCK, from Sheffield, praying the house to take measures to assist Poland in regaining her nationality; by Mr. VERNON SMITE, from the town council of Northampton, praying the house not to allow any interference with municipal corporations or their police ; by Lord HOTHAM, from Driffield, against the sale of in toxicating liquors on Sundays ; by Mr. BRIGHT, from two poor men, parishioners of Ringmoor, in the county of Southampton, and that for non-payment of church rates, and kept imprisoned for 1 9 hours wi thout food, that next morning they were sent to Winchester gaol and treated as common felons—the sums being ls. 9d. and ls. 100. demanded of them, and that they were only liberated n uir by public subscription. The petitioners prayed for iy into the matter. OXFORD UNIVERSITY BILL. The house then went into committee on the new Oxford University bill. Clause 1 was agreed to. On clause 2, Mr. E. DENISON called upon the noble lord the Presi dent of the Council to disclose the names of the persons who were to be appointed commissioners under the bill. Lord J. RUSSELL said, in addition to those already mentioned in th . former bill, it was proposed to appoint two other commissioners. Two gentlemen had been re quested to undertake the office, but their answers had not yet been received: and he could not, he trefore, give their names. He proposed t o add their names to the bill in bringing up the report. Mr. HENLEY asked if the number of the commissioners was to be limited. Tho CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER replied in the affirmative, and the limitations would rest with the house. Mr. WALPOLE thought there was every prospect of this bill passing into a law this session, as, in its amended shape, it was merely an enabling bill. Mr. HORSFALL remarked that this was not the bill of the Government, but the amendment bill of the right hon. gentleman opposite. There was, perhaps, no necessity for discussing the clauses which were disposed of by the for mer bill, but at the same time be felt that it would have been much better to have had a compulsory than an enabling bill. This bill, as altered, was an entirely differ ent measure to that which ho consented to on the second reading. Sir W. HEATHCOTE insisted that many of the clauses of the bill were of a compulsory character, but, at the same time, as amended, he thought the bill would be much more acceptable to the University than the bill first intro duced. The clause was then agree d to, as were clauses from three to twenty-nine both inclusive without discussion. On clause 30, Mr. MOWBRAY suggested that, as the university would not have sufficient experience of the working of new halls by Michaelmas, 1855, so as to form statutes for them, there should be an extension of the time. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that there was no need of that, for under clause 38 the univer sity would have the power of making alterations in any statute. Mr. HEYWOOD proposed to strike out the words " in struction and" from the clause. The effect of the omission of these words would be to leave the students to select their own tutors, and to prepare for examination in the best way they could. At present the university know no thing of what was done in the halls, and thirty per oont. of those who came up for their decrees failed—principally in divinity and Latin composition. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER heard the amendment with surprise, and hoped it would not be per severed in. In a place of instruction, whatever else they might control, he should have thought that they ought at least to control instruction. It would be absurd to allow persons to be matriculated and entered as members of a university over whose instruction it had no control what- ever. After a few words from Mr. PLIILLIAIORE and Mr. FEL LATT, the amendment was withdrawn. Mr. HENLEY wished to know what was the meaning of the term " great halls." The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said the 39 Ora 15 gri 14 qr 3 53 qrs ~ of 9 61 9 01 •12th 6 .12ths .12ths .1a lm 1 16 ciao 16 ,pill 1 jun. 16 JLIO l 1
