We regard the work before us, " The Silent Friend,' as a work embracing most clear and practical views of a series of corn. plaints hitherto little understood, and passed over by the majority of the Medical profession, for what reason we are at a loss to know. We must, however, confess that a perusal of this work has left such a favourable impression on our minds, that we not only recommend, but cordially wish every one who is the victim of past folly, or suffer. ing from indiscretion, to profit by the advice contained in its pages." —Age and Argus. " The Authors of The Silent Friend,' seem to be thoroughly conversant with the treatment of a class of complaints which are, we fear, too prevalent in the present day. The perspicuous style in which this book is written, and the valuable hints it conveys to those who are apprehensive of entering the marriage state, cannot fail to recommend it to a careful perusal."—Era.

During the past year loud and general have been the vauntings and noastings of the Tories in this city, that they would oust the Whigs from the corpora tion at this election. At the Tory feeds toasts of the candidates and success to them have been drank with uproarious applause. The registration was warmly and attentively attended to by both parties— the day of election looked forward to eagerly by the doubtful men of both sides. The Whigs went quietly on, confident of their own strength, relying on their proper management of the city affairs for the support of the rate-payers. The result has fully justified them in that opinion. The only wards contested were the Fourth, Fifth, and Sixth Wards, in all of which the Tories received a sound flogging. 'The following is the result : First Ward.—No opposition ; Edward Steward, Esq , and Mr. John Baker, Tories. Second Ward.—No opposition ; Wm. Freeman, Esq. (Mayor), and Osborn Springfield, Esq., Whigs. Third Ward.—No opposition ; John Godwin John son, Esq., and George Arthur Dye, Esq., Tories; . Fourth Ward.—John Barwell, Esq., 117, IVhig; Mr. C. R. Freeman, 117, Whig ; Mr. Benjamin Cundall, 76, Tory ; and Mr. Henry Browne, 75, Tory. fifth Ward.—Mr. W. K. Farnell, 119, Whig ; Samuel Big-mild, Esq., 66, Tory; Mr. James Hardy, 52, Tory. Sixth Ward.—Mr. Richard Bullard, 183, Whig; Mr. Win. Henry Woolbright, .182, Whig ; Mr. Hall Browne, 121, Tory; and Mr. Henry Hindes, 120, Tory. Seventh Ward.—No opposition ; Thomas Osborn Springfield, Esq., Whig, and J. Henry Tillett, Esq., Whig. Eighth Ward.—Peter Finch, Esq., Whig, and John Ferra Watson, Esq., Whig. The Fourth Ward was not warmly contested, and neither parties polled their full strength; but if they had so done the Whigs would have had a much larger majority than now. The Sixth Ward was "the fight"—both parties had been strenuously exert ing themselves before and during the registration. At the last election, through very bad management on the part of the Whigs, they lost the ward, but this year the candidates selected (more particularly Mr. Bullard, the first appearance of that gentleman as a candidate for corporation honours) threw terror into the enemy's camp. The polling for the first hour gave the Whigs a small majority. At this time the Tories began their old game—five, six, and seven pounds were given for a vote, and had not a reinforce ment of working men from other wards arrived at the very nick of time Tory bribery might have suc ceeded, but the activity of Mr. Bullard and his band of friends proved too much for it, and it gradually gave way to the real feeling of the ward, in a tri umphant majority of 62 in favour of the Whigs. After the elections the electors in the Whig inte rest in the various wards dined with their several councillors, the principal meeting being at the Norfolk Hotel, where 130 gentlemen, under the pre sidency of the Mayor, Wm. Freeman, Esq., spent a delightful evening. This is the eighth election under the Municipal Act, and the Tories, who, when first they lost the corporation, reckoned again on obtaining it in the first three years, are now as far off as ever.

EXTRAORDINARY DISPATCH OF NEWSPAPERS FROM THE GENERAL POST-OFFICE.--OR Saturday even ing one of the largest dispatches of -newspapers from the Post -office in St. Martin's-le-Grand took place. So great a glut of newspapers has not been known in the General Post office since the memorable night of the co ronation of her Majesty the Queen, upon which occasion it is estimated that at least 130,000 newspapers were posted. The number on Saturday evening last did not fall far short of that quantity.

Scarcely had all the formalities been complied with, when a gendarme, who had heard the man's name pronounced, came up, and reminding him of the con demnation, requested him to follow him to prison. Great was the uproar, but there was no help for the matter, and the newly-married man was led away to pass the honey moon under lock and key. MANCHESTER. Friday, being the Ist of November, was the day appointed by the Municipal Act, for the election of councillors in the place of those retiring from office. The polling places appropriated for the respective wards were opened at nine o'clock for the polling to commence, but only three of the wards were con tested. The following is the result of the elections:— New Cross Ward--In this ward there were two vacancies, occasioned by the retirement of Messrs. Henry Day and William Hanley. Five candidates were nominated. The Liberal candidates were Mr. John Woodfall, glass-manufacturer, and Mr. William Howarth, coal-dealer; the Conservative candidates, Mr. George Peel (of the firm of Messrs. Peel, Wil liams, and Peel), and Mr. Thomas Lewis Williams, manufacturer, High-street. Mr. John Hewitt, coach builder and proprietor, Store-street and Ardwick, was also put in nomination by the Chartists. The election took place at the police-station, Kirby-street, Isling ton; Mr. Alderman Walker presiding. The contest was carried on with considerable spirit, and the poll was kept open until four o'clock. - Messrs. Peel and Williams are there the successful candidates. St. Michael's Ward—This was one of the contested wards. The retiring candidate was Mr. George 'Wil son, who was nominated by the Liberals for re-elec tion. The opposing candidate in the Conservative interest was Mr. Charles Ashmore, grocer and pro vision -dealer, Harpurhey. The polling took place at the Police-station, Oldham-road ; Mr. Alderman Brooks presiding. The contest for this ward excited a great degree of interest, and both parties exerted themselves to the utmost to return their candidate. At the close of the poll, at four o'clock, Mr. Wilson had a majority of seven votes, and is consequently elected. As soon as the result was known, cheers were given by a number of his friends assembled in the room. Mr. Chew, of Harpurhey, on the part of the Conservatives, afterwards intimated to the assessors, that a scrutiny of the votes would be de• mended. St. John's Ward—For the vacancy in this ward, occasioned by the retirement of Mr. Thomas Bazley, jun., there were two candidates. The Liberal can didate was Mr. John Simpson, gentleman, Tonman street, who was opposed by Mr. John Woollam, late boroughreeve of Manchester, in the Conservative interest. The election took plate at the Hop-pole Inn, Hardman-street; the Mayor presiding. The contest was carried on with some spirit until one o'clock, when, in consequence - of the majority being so decidedly in favour of Mr. Woollam, the Liberals consented to an 'arrangement that no more votes should be taken, and at two o'clock the poll was closed. Exchange Ward —There were two candidates nominated for this ward, to supply the s acancy occa sioned by the retirement of Mr. Richard Wilson — namely, Mr. Thomas Goadsby, oil and colour-dealer, Albert Place, in the Liberal interest; and Mr. Wm. Gibb, distiller, who, it was said, was put in nomina tion by the Conservatives. No votes, however, were tendered for Mr. Gibb, and consequently Mr. Goadsby is returned without opposition. In the following wards there was no opposition, and all the candidates returned are Liberals : Collegiate Church Ward—Mr. Joseph Sutcliffe, silk manufacturer, High-street, has been—P‘lected, in place of Mr. P. 'l'. Candelet, retired. St. Clement's Ward—Mr. R. G. Stracey, the re tiring councillor for this ward, has been re-elected. Oxford Ward—Mr. Thomas Gatenby has been re elected. St. James's Ward—Mr. David Ainsworth, is again elected. St. Ann's Ward—ln this ward Mr. John Shaw cross, manufacturer ' East-street, has been elected to supply the place of Mr. James Bancroft, retired. All Saints' Ward—Mr. Sidney Potter has been returned, in the place of Mr. Henry Marsland, re tired. St. Luke's Ward—Mr. John Mayson is re-elected. St. George's Ward—The gentleman elected for this ward is Mr. John Standring, manufacturer, Fountain Stand, Hulme, vice Mr. Horatio Smith, who retired. Medlock-street Ward—Mr. John Chapman, reed maker, is elected, in the place of Mr. Thomas Wheeler, retired. Ardwick Ward—Mr. Henry Lees, manufacturer, is returned, to supply the place of Mr. W. B. Wat kins, retired. Cheetham Ward—ln this ward Mr. Thomas Diggles has been re-elected. The result of the whole may be thus stated :-13 Liberals and 3 Conservatives elected. SOUTHAMPTON. The Ist of November turned out precisely as we had expected. The Tories have retained possession of all the minor wards without even a show of a con test. In the ward of All Saints, too, where the Tories have so long held sway, they have been again success ful, although they were tolerably well frightened by some wag, or wags, who put forward at the eleventh hour the names of two Liberal and two Tory candi dates as opponents of the four regularly chosen men of the Corruptionist camp. Although in the present case this must certainly have been meant in a joke — and from whence it emanated it is not easy to deter mine—yet if fully and fairly carried out there is little doubt of its being entirely successful. But there is really an apathy and a carelessness on the part of liberal and independent men about mun i cipal affa irs that makes it almost hopele ss to expectanyth ing ytbing like a serious and well - continu ed opposition in this ward to the dominant party. This time, however, they have been thoroughly frightened, although not hurt—and they polled all their available strength. Not a single thorough-bred Tory relaxed a jot of his unscrupulousness, or his activity—not a wavering However, these, and all the other ruses in St. Mary's could not succeed—and in spite of Bribery, of intimidation, of treating on a most profligate scale, of promises, of interference by every public depart ment, and by every public company under Tory ma nagement, the hopes of the Tories in St. Mary's have received their death-blow in the defeat of Mr, Mab son and his associates, in spite of the greatest exer tions ever made by a man or by a party. We hifve said all along that this would be the great, the deci sive struggle of the year, and the ejection of two Tory councillors from this ward, and the substitution of two staunch Liberals in their stead by the greatest number of voters that ever yet- polled in the ward, not only puts an end for ever to the hopes of the mo nopolists in that ward, but opens out a fair chance for following up in the other wards the success thus so auspiciously begun.—Hampshire Independent. CAAIBRIDGE. The Ist of November used to be a day of excite ment and bustle, but the present recurrence of it was marked by none of its former characteristics. The following is the result of the election :—Conser vatives—Aldermen Fawcett, Stevenson, Fisher, Bishop, Fayell, Salmon, Brown, Law; Councillors Hazard, Hall, W.

Liberals—Mr. Young Crawley, 202 ; Mr. John Jasper Gripper, 198 ; Mr. James Hancock, 155 ; Mr. William Pollard, 145. The Tories were consequently elected, but a pretest was handed in, before the commencement of the polling, against the nomination of Mr. Ludlow, on the ground that, although his name was upon the Burgess list, it had no business to be there, as he was not a bona fide occupier, and that his claim as such had been recently rejected by the Revising Barrister. HIGH WYCOMBE. C. Harman, Jackson (Mayor), Hunt, and 11. White, all Liberals re-elected. IPSWICH.

There was no opposition in this borough, the Li berals being inert. So the Tories returned six of their own nominees. LEEDS. The municipal election of yesterday was by far the most lifeless contest of the kind ever witnessed in Leeds.

Besides these, four Reformers have been returned in the contested wards, making the total number of Reformers elected 12 out of 15 ! The remaining three newly-elected re presentatives are a Tory-Chartist and two Tories, re turned respectively for the North-east, the Kirkgate, and the Headingley Ward.—Leeds Mercury. LEICESTER.

In the course of the afternoon, however, the aspect of the contest rapidly changed, and at the close of the poll the result was the return of five of the Liberal candidates, the sixth, Mr. Lloyd, being equal with Mr. Markham. The casting vote is in the hands of the Alderman (Mr. Williams), but it was not given at the time of going to press.—Northampton PORTSMOU IH.

The Lord Chancellor having appointed Saturday morning at eleven o'clock to give her Majesty's ap probation to the election of Mr. A:thrtnan Gibbs to the office of Lord Mayor of the City of London for the year ensuing, the present Lord Mayor, Sir William Magnay, at., the Sheriffs, Recorder, Chamberlain, several Aldermen, moat of the civic officers, arrived at his Lordship's houai.) in George street, Hanover-square, at a quarter bete eleven o'clock, and were ushered into the State drawing-nom. At eleven o'clock, the Lord Chancellor, preceded by his mace and sword bearer, entered the room„when The RECORDER said—My Lord Chancellor, I have the honour to present to your Lordship Michael Gibbs, Esq., Alderman and Fishmonger, whom the citizens of London have elected to be their Chief Magistrate for the ensuing year. Che election of Mr. Gibbs has been conducted with all due regard to tke ancient charters and customs of the City, and that gentleman has been almost unanimously elected to the civic chair. With regard to the fitness and ability of Mr. Gibbs to fill the high office of Lord Mayor there could not be a doubt. In early life he was engaged in successful commercial transactions, and as far back as the year 1818 he was chosen member of the Court of Common Council, and his re election was never opposed. Mr. Gibbs was in lB3g elected Alderman of Walbrook ward, and he had per formed the duties of a magistrate of the city of London with the greatest credit to himself and to the satisfaction of the public. After the passing of the New Poor-law Bill, Mr. Alderman Gibbs was elected Chairman of the City of London Poor-law Union, which contained no less than ninety-two parishes. Mr. Gibbs had given the greatest satisfaction in per forming the duties of that responsible office, and had every year been re-appointed ; that was not all, for eight years the Lord Mayor elect had been Chair man of the Commissioners of Sewers ; he MIS annu ally elected, and his services were not only duly ap preciated, but he had received the thanks of the Com missioners for his zeal and attention. Mr. Gibbs had also served the high and important office of Sheriff of London and Middlesex, with the greatest credit to himself, and with satisfaction to his fellow.- citizens ; as, on his retiring from that office, he re ceived an unanimous vote of thanks from the Livery in Common-hall assembled. It was after twenty five years' experience that the Livery of London had sent Mr. Alderman Gibbs's name to the Court of Aldermen for Chief Magistrate,and that Court had con firmed the choice. He (the Recorder) in conclusion, might say that the experience, skill, and ability of the Lord Mayor elect could not 1:e. doubted. He was in every way qualified to perform the duties of chief magistrate of the city of London, and he thought that those duties would be performed in a mariner equal to any of his predecessors, and perhaps never surpassed. In the execution of his high functions Mr. Alderman Gibbs he was convinced would show his loyalty to the Crown, and he was equally certain that the Lord Mayor elect would be faithful to his fellow-citizens. In conclusion, the Recorder prayed most respectfully her Majesty's gracious approbation to the choice the Livery had made of Lord Mayor of the city of London for the year ensuing. The LORD CIIA.NCELLOR said—My Lord Mayor elect, I have great pleasure in congratulating you on your appointment to the high office of Lord Mayor of London. It is an office of great importance. and dignity, and one which I have no doubt will be fully sustained in your hands. And I have the satisfaction of statin ,, to you and those assembled that her Ma jesty fully approves and confirms the choice the Livery of London have made in the election of chief magisa trate for the year ensuing. His Lordship then, in a most friendly manner, shook hands with • the Lord Mayor elect, and the other civic functionaries. The members of the corporation present partook of biscuits and wine, and immediately afterwards retired; The whole ceremony did not occupy half an hour. KIDNAPPING OF GERMAN CHILDREN. Some days since the Rev. Mr. Cappel, minister of the German Lutheran Church, Goodman's-fields, waited upon Mr. henry, at Lambeth-street, to ascer tain if he could exercise his magisterial authority to prevent the present disgraceful system of importing German children into this country by a set of worth less fellows, who manage to live in luxury and idle ness by their exertions, and who, beyond turning their industry to profitable account, pay not the slightest attention to their moral conduct or character. The Rev. Gentleman informed Mr. Henry of aease in which the conduct of a man named Winter towards a German girl was highly improper, and which having obtained publicity in the London journals, was copied into the German papers, and created the most lively interest amongst the highest classes in that country. Indeed so great was the interest, created on the sub ject, that a communication had been made to Chevalier Bunsen, the Prussian Minister in this country; and it was by the desire of that distinguiShed personage that he (the Rev. Mr. Cappel) had waited upon his worship. Mr. Henry at that time informed the Rev. Gentleman that he would be most happy, if the larr enabled him to do so, to put an end to the system complained of ; but the truth was, that he had no power even to check it. The evil complained of could only be put an end to in Germany, where it was necessary to obtain passports for the removal of these children, and where, if a. proper surveillance was adopted, such persons as Winter might be punished. Mr. Henry informed the Rev. Gentleman, that if any case came under his notice, where the treatment of those children should be the subject, he would take • care and communicate with him. Since that time, Mr. henry received a note and document from a gentleman in the country, and having sent for the Rev. Mr. Cappel, read them in his presence. The following are the documents Sir,—llaving seen in the daily papers an account of an application to you by the Rev. Mr. Cappel, re lative to a case in which a person of the name of Philip Winter was concerned, 1 beg to inform Tou this Philip Winter was fined in September, at Kingswin ford, 10s. for cruelty to a dog, and at IVolverhamp ton, 20s. for a like offence, a week afterwards. I send you an agreement, of which there were many in his possession, together with the application of the Rev. VT. Cappel, in April last at your Court. I consider the agreement so precious a proof of English volun tary slavery, that I asked permission to keep one copy with its threepenny receipt stamp attached. The following is the extraordinary document al luded to. It is written on a sheet of foolscap, with a sixpenny receipt stamp pasted at the top so as to form a part : * " We separately and jointly do agree to beCome servants to Mr. Philip Winter, and to hold in pos session one piano, and also one tamborine, and be ser vants to the said Philip Winter for two years certain. That we the said Susan Grimes and Ann Vivian he supported during the ensuing two years by the said Philip Winter—viz., in clothing and food, as yearly servants to the said Philip Winter; that the said piano and also the said tamborine, which we have now in our possession, we acknowledge Winter, to who has this bethepropelr: day intrusted our said master, intrusted the same into our care as servants, and in etothreetusraind, and Susan Grimes d fGu e rl f li a m u i rt s s o as f ens t ds h i e oAn s n a t' d hNe S rri u ev s oi Susan Grimes G wdhi r o ii ca n hg e r s el‘e' and Ann Vivian not acting up to this agreement, that the said Philip Win ter shall have full power and authority to take pos session of the said property, and also to bring each and every of 'the said parties before any magis a tra ted te th o i r s magistrates in any county or place the said Susan Grimes or the said Ann Vivian may be. D 29th day of June, 1843. " The mark of Susan Grime s . "The " Philip Whindar, witnessed the mark of both parties. " Charles Fido, Attorney's Clerk, Bath. Robert Jamaison. " The mark of Eliza James. The Rev. Mr. Cappel, on hearing the extraordinary document read, requested permission to take a copy of it, which Mr. Henry at once granted. A wager of 1/. aside was laid by a clock and watch maker of Sleaford that he would carry a large clock and its case, weighing 3.1 stones, from Sleaford to Heckington (a distance of five miles), in one hour and a half ; this he did with nine minutes to spare, but in such a state of exhaustion that he states he would not undertake the same again for less than lot.
