MAY be consulted, personally, or by letter, on the various disorders of the nervous and generative system, resulting from juvenile irregularities and excesses, which have pro- Sliced more misery in youth , deg radation in manhood, and prema ture decay at all stases of life, than perhaps any other class of dis eases known to modern pathologists. Long and practical experience in the treatment of these diseases has proved that there are in exist ence secret causes of self-acquired miseries and disappointed hopes in existence, traceable to certain pernicious habits, to which Nervous Debility, various forms of Insanity, Unhappy and Unfruitful Marri ages. Impotency, Local and Constitutional Weakness, and their endless modifications owe their almost entire origin. It is absolutely necessary that all 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 consequenc es may be avoided, and above all, that there is scarcely any degree of physical infirmity or functional d eran gement to which the timely aid of science cannot apply a cure DOCTOR LA'MERT has for a long series of years been engaged in an extensive practice in the treatment of these delicate com plaints, and is the only legally qualified Physician who, regardless of the taunts and envy of the hypocritical and mock-modest, has had the confidence, through the medium of the public press, to direct attention to these enormous evils, from which no grade of society is tree. In selecting this department of practice, he has been amply rewarded by the great success that has attended his efforts in the treatment of these cases, which are too generally confided to the care of unqualified and ignorant empirics, who, with their pirated publications, Assumed foreign names and titles, and pretended virtues of their patent nostrums, have inflicted serious injury on those who have been induced to place faith in their pretensions. At home for consultation daily from Eleven till Two, and from Six till Eight. All letters mast contain the fee of IL, and advice and medicines can be forwarded to any initials or address. It is desirable that patients wishing to consult Dr. LA'MERT first obtain a copy of his work on SELF -PRE SERVATION.

The Government escort brought` down to Melbourne for the week ending the 30th of April 31,830 ounces of gold ; the average produce of w h a t may be called the Sydney goldfields is scarcely a fourth of this quantity.

MELBOURNE. —The tide of immigration continues to pour into Melbourne at a rate almostalarming. Up_ to the end of 1852 th e p opu l at i on of the province ofVic toria had more than doubled what it was in 1851 ; what it will be at the close of 1853 it would be difficult to predict. The arrivals in the month of April have ex ceeded the maximum of any month in 1852 ; and on the 27th ult., more than 2,400 immigrants arrived in the bay in the course of the 24 hours. To meet this daily increasing mass of life there is in Melbourne little or no preparation ; the place is fed, like a besieged city, by supplies thrown in by distant speculation, and provi sions, are, indeed, nearly at siege and famine prices. As to house-room, every nook is filled ; the places of those who leave for the gold fields are instantly occu pied by new corners. Only the more provident and better circumstanced arrive furnished with tents, which they can pitch at "Canvas town," or portable houses to put up on any patch of ground that can be obtained. Of socialp ub p li e c ri l enterprise, guard n against eof heaven impend ing h e only scavengers of the city, and, out of the main s t ree t s , guard the filth of 'the alleys and back premises is excess i ve , there being no drains of any kind. Much ala rm , in deed, begi ns t o b e f e lt for the health of the pl ace , an d with good reason, when 4,000 souls are being added to thethere is noneoven ; to the pop u l a ti on wee kl y. B ut i n t hi s, as i n everything else, gold paralyzes effective exertion on a large sca le, and the very wealth of the land seems to be condemning its capital to disease and pestilence. Some few months certainy light t o carry t 0 a localities, a 17 g a s for a inquirer of th e hour, or applicant ago the city was far less safe than now ; but those who have re s id e d there any length of time do not, even at present, t rus t wholly to the police. Many of them al ways answer any if kb t ey h e e p y t ht h eh a e v c e no t ec o nkt b r e eo f o o u fa t af o p t e e i s r t eo d tl az e k ea , tn, dana avoid dn injunction to the parties to keep their distance. I can not say I have found any precautions of the kind neces sary ; but the experience of others may as well be cited. The fact is, so completely are the relations of society re versed here, that the garb of a gentlema n (or "swell" in the colonial vernacular) is in itself a protectio n , being the badge of pove r ty ; h e i s not worth robbing • he either:has no money, or , b e i ng sober and discreet, leaves what he may have at home ; but the drunken digger, just down from the mines, with his gold-dust in his belt, reeling from pothouse to pothouse is a rich and easy prey. He is marked out, followed, and robbed in a systematic manner. M an y a b e tt er " pocket " of gold is picked out of a kennel in the city than could be got by weeks of delving at Ballarat. Except to this class I should say the place is safe enough, and quieter than could be expected. The true gold mines are the public-houses at Melbourne and the several diggings ; the publicans make large and rapid fortunes, and thousands of pounds are freely given for the goodwill of a house of the lowest class, the lower indeed the better, for in them greater profits are made than in the respectable hotels. The diggers frequently give their gold to the landlord, drink it out, and go back to the fields as poor as they came. If they deposit it in a bank, the simplest forms of busi ness are a puzzle to them ; in some cases, the proffered passbook has been indignantly refused, under an impres sion that it is something equivalent to a convict's ticket of-leave. It is calculated that a large amount of gold in the Melbourne banks will never be claimed, the de positors having drunk themselves to death, or died by accident or disease at the mines, where ca sualties are by no means rare. Those who save their earnings, to in vest in land or business hereafter, are the minority, the prudent or educated ; but fortune is capricious, and the luckiest are not always the most deserving. [PRICE SD. GEELONG, MAY 19. The yield of gold still continues large, although not commensurate with the increase to our population. From the Ist of January up to the present date 791,308 ounces have been exported, and the Harbinger, which brings this communication, will, it is expected, take away a very large quantity. The escorts have brought down during the present year 780,000 ounces of gold, and at least an equal quantity has arrived in the towns by private hand, or remains in the hands of the miners. Some rich diggings have been discovered near Mount Alexander, at the Mac Ivor, so called from its being an the run of a gentleman of that name, and the country around Mount Korong is being extensively and success fully worked. To the westward of Ballarat, at the Wardy Yallock, gold has been found in small quanti ties ; indeed, more than 4,000 square miles of country, a patch 100 miles long by nearly 40 in width, is prov ing more or less auriferous. The weekly yield of gold may be estimated at about 70,000 ounces, which will give an ounce per man per week to those employed in digging. The general opi nion is that it is nearly 100,000. A great many miners prefer keeping their gold in their own hands to selling it, in the hope that the price will increase, and that the land will be procurable at a cheaper rate. Gold is now selling in the towns at from 3/. 15s. to 31. 16s. 6d. according to the demand, and at the gold fields at from 31. 13s. to 3/. 15s. It will be seen from these data that the renumeration of the miners is by no means excessive, as compared with that of other descrip tions of labour. Mechanics, such as carpenters, cabinet makers, blacksmiths, masons, and bricklayers, are earn ing from 20s. to 30s. per diem, according to the locality and their skill ; the police receive 31. 10s. 43.er week without rations, or 21. 16s. with ; labourers from 10s. to 12s. per diem ; shepherds and stock-keepers 50/. to 751. per annum, with rations and quarters. Business of all kinds is exceedingly good, although the profits of importers are considerably crippled by the present high rates of freight. The desertion of seamen is now considerably checked by the establishment of an efficient water police, and the presence here of her Ma jesty's corvette Electra. Breadstuffs, horsefeed, beer, and spirits rule very high ; flour being 301. per ton ; hay 351. ditto ; oats, 16s. per bushel ; brandy (in (bond) 18s. per gallon ; beer (bottle) 18s. to 30s. per dozen ; in wood, ale, 71. to 101. per hhd. ; porter, 91. 10s. to 131. Rents still continue at the same high rates, 21. a week being demanded for a hovel in Melbourne. In Geelong, however, they are nearly 50 per cent. less than in the metropolis. Some of the town land (Melbourne) sold at the last Government sale for 3,700/. per acre, and this was at least a mile from the business portion of the city. The Wentworth estate occupying about an acre of land, in a good position, which was bought about nine months ago for 20,0001., was subdivided and re-sold a few days since for nearly 65,0001. There is a vast amount of distress existing among the now arrivals. Many of the scenes which presented themselves to me on occasion of my last visit to Mel bourne were painful in the extreme. Whole shiploads of passengers are landed on the wharf in the dusk of the evening, unaware where to obtain shelter for the night, and their pockets but very slenderly provided. In the case of young and hearty men, their troubles are soon over ; the lee side of a wall, or the inside of a boiler, provides a shelter which some of the wealthy colonists whom they see dashing about the streets in well ap pointed carriages, or mounted on blood-horses, would have been glad of when they first arrived. The case of delicate women, invalid men, and helpless children is a very painful one, especially as the horrors of the first night are but a prelude to much misery. A great deal of the distress among newly-arrived im migrants is in process of being relieved by homes being thrown open for their reception, in addition to those at present existing, and a subscription is now being raised for this purpose. It is proposed that 10,0001. should be raised by voluntary contributions, and the Government have promised a grant in aid of 40,0001. The greater portion of all this misery is, however, caused by the immigrants being of a class who should never have left England. Workmen, mechanics, and female servants cannot come in too large masses ; capi talists and men of business may make large fortunes ; but of what use are large families of helpless children, and of scarcely less helpless parents-men used all their lives to English comforts, and to no harder work than can be found in an English counting-house ; and women who, out of an income of a hundred a-year, have al ways managed to keep a drudge of all work-in a coun try where the shelter of a roof can scarcely be obtained for the average remuneration of a clerk or shopman Unable to ootain remunerative employment, scarcely able to exist on the wages given to persons of their class if they work as labourers, they have but one alternative -for the husband to go into the bush as a shepherd, and his wife to accompany him as hutkeeper ; they have, however, a sort of horror of the bush, and pre fer privation with sympathising croakers to plenty in a slab lint with no one to speak to but the opossums and bandicoots. Persons who come by the Government immigrant ships are provided with a home on their arrival in the shape of a depot. In this they are maintained until they obtain employment, and as they are generally of a class greatly in demand, this period rarely exceeds one week. Those who pay their own passage receive, how ever,lt y be neither aid well t nor o information from the authorities. avieeto in tending emigrants. In the first place, are they eligible for a freejoassage, i, e. , are they country mechanics or labourers r if so, let them avail themselves of their pri vilege. Secondly, are they persons in trade or business, and provided with capital ? if so, let the husband be the pioneer ; let him see first if there be a field for his exer tions, and not risk everything on one cast. If he likes the colony, he can readily enough send for his family. Thirdly, are they poor, but at the same time respectable; unskilled in any trade, but learned in the belles lettresi if so, let them stay at home. As regards young single men, if they are only enterprising enough to come out, and energetic enough to work hard when they are out, they are sure to do well enough. Above all, let no in valids emigrate in the hope of our fine climate benefiting their health. The climate might do them good, but the hardships and privations they would have to endure would more than counterbalance all its good effects. A dispatch has been received from the Colonial-office, giving to the colonial legislature the control of the land fund, and conferring on us a constitution similar to that of Canada. This is admitted on all hands to be a very great boon, and it will be the fault of the colonists them selves if the rich lands of our almost boundless interior be not thrown open. The greatest apathy, however, prevails on all political topics, very few candidates comin g forward for the next election, which is to be held in the beginning of June. For this town (Geelong) only one candidate is as yet in the field, and in the adjacent counties the constituencies are not able to find a single person of sufficient public spirit to become their repre sentative. Avarice appears to be the tomb of ambition. There has been a great decrease in the amount of crime, partly owing to the deportation of all persons proved to be convicts who have not served out their sentence, and partially to the improved system of police. Fifty London policemen have arrived, and are doing duty in Melbourne. The mounted troopers and cadets have nearly rid the country of bushrangers, although they will doubtless soon reappear. Geelong possesses natural advantages far superior to those of Melbourne, lying as it does on the shores of ths bay, and surrounded by rich agricultural land. Un fortunately, however, there is a bar at the entrance of the bay which prevents vessels drawing more than ten feet of water coming up to the wharf. This bar is, how ever, in process of removal, or rather the ship channel is being deepened. When this is the case, this town will rapidly increase in size and prosperity. At present it contains about 20,000 inhabitants, and is the entrepOt of Ballarat and the whole of the western district. More wool and tallow is shipped from here than any other port in the colony. T he rate of wa g es is rather h igher than in Melbourne ; land for agricultural purposes is more readily procurable ; and altogether it presents a much better field for an immigrant than the metropolis. It is about fifty miles from Melbourne, and steam-boats run twice a day between the two towns. Some very rich tin ore has been discovered near the Ovens gold field, and a company is being formed for the purpose of tin streaming. The Geelong and Melbourne Railway Company is about to commence its operations by the erection of the Geelong terminus, and tenders for the construc tion of the permanent way are advertised for. The One will pass over nearly a dead level throughout its entire length, with the exception of the two miles nearest Melbourne ; and this expense it is proposed to do away with by a junction with the Melbourne and Williams Town Railway. In that case the line would only be 38 miles long, and the estimated expense (only a single line of rails being laid down) at the ') b present procured rat r e e o d f wages, is is 390,0001. ; or, if wor k men could per diem for mechani cs an d S s. for labourer If the line has to be carr i e d into Melbourne, ros uat it will be 43 miles long, and would cost considerably more. The reason why the expense per mile is so small is that the greater portion of the land over which it passes is a free grant to the company by the Government ; that there are no engineering difficulties ; and that the whole of the preliminary expenses have been paid and an act of coun cil obtained for something less than 2,0001. The fares authorised to be charged are only 50 per cent. more than those allowed by the English act, they being 3d., and 10. per mile for the first, second, and third class respectively. The Government has guaranteed 5 per cent. for 20 years on 200,000/. of the paid-up capital. The Hobson's Bay Railway Company has sent home an order for rails and rolling stock, and it is confidently stated that it will be in work within two years from the present date. THE MARRIAGE OF THE DUKE DE BRABANT. No event of recent date in the history of Belgium has caused so much excitement at Brussels as the marriage of the heir apparent of the throne with the Archduchess Maria of Austria, daughter of that Archduke Joseph, Palatine of Hungary. The dynasty of Leopold, already consolidated by his consummate wisdom and all-con ciliating benevolence, receives a corroborative guarantee in a union with the ancient house of Hapsburg, and a renewal of closer relations with the powerful confedera tion which includes the land of his own birth and educa tion. The Duke de Brabant is still very young—only 18 years of age, but of tall stature, with quite a Bour bon face. His manners are precocious, as is usually the case with plants of a Royal conservatory—the coolness, the aplomb, and the knowl e d ge o f persons which he has belonging rather to a man of thirty. The interview between the bride and bridegroom took place fin fa private apartment of the chateau of Vis count Biollay. The Arch-duchess Maria is of middle height, of moderate embonpoint, of a fine healthy corn. plexion, and of a most pleasing expression of counte nance. She wore a costume of blue and white. When the presentations and recognitions had taken place, the King, leading forward the Duchess de Brabant, stepped on the balcony ; and the moment lie appeared the densely assembled mass of people who had crowded from all the eastern part of Belgium into Verviers, burst into one spontaneous shout of " Vive le Roi !" " Vive la Duchesse de Brabant !" and the band striking up " 4it peat on etre mieux qu'au sein de sa famine," affectionate and significant glances were exchanged by the Royal group. The Royal family and the commission then partook of dejeunsr, and the train started for the station at Verviers. On arriving at the station there were the usual addresses and felicitations of the authorities, with a profusion of garlands and flags, and the same at other stations along the route. The progress to Liege was through the beautiful valley of the Vesdre. This is the Birmingham and Wolverhampton of Belgium ; but the long furnace chimneys, instead of rising from a Staffordshire inferno of unvarying grim blackness, are mingled with vast forests hanging on mountain slopes, verdant champaigns, and clear rushing rills. Every fire was put out, and the atmosphere was colourless. Liege and Verviers are the principal localities of the very small Socialist and Re publican party in Belgium. Nothing, however, but enthusiasm was visible at either place. This marriage with a daughter of the first Catholic Power of Germany has been very acceptable to the clergy, which is so influential in Belgium. At Brussels the whole of the vast station was thronged with the lead ing persons of the town, the State, and the army. The warmth of the reception of the royal bridal party as it proceeded up the Boulevard Botanique and the Rue Royale was all that they could possibly wish for. Every window of the tall and elegant mansions on the route was crowded with ladies in gala costume, waving hand kerchiefs, and the King, upon his arrival at the Palace, once more presented the Duchess on the balcony,amidst repeated acclamations. The bells of the churches were at this time ringing their merriest peals, and the cannon y c i m v i o l r m n i a n r a e, was wh i delayedc h wa c o s on n t sa o ecuo have ue nn tc t e a koo of the n tthh p ee l a i c n e d o is n position of th e R oya l b r i de in firing salutes in honou r o f th e occasion.

THE GOLD FIELDS AT VICTORIA. - The Victoria goldfields continue to produce the greatest quantity of the metal, and have drawn away most of the diggers from the northern province. Theresame ness in the accounts from all the fields ; reports of the greater productiveness of certain spots, and the invari able rush to them from others, complaints of the enor mous prices of provisions and forage, and the non arrival of the post, form the staple of news.

The present Company has been formed for working the Old Tre wether Mines, and also those which were known at the Wheal Thomas, situate at Port Isaac, as well as the setts upon the estates of Tresungus, Vennies, and Treore, in the parish of Endellion, in the county of Cornwall, with additional grants connected therewith. The setts of these noises extend over a surface of about 1,000 acres, as shown in an accompanying map, and contain antimony, copper, and silver lead in great abundance, and of a very rich de scription. The principal antimony lode nine nearly north and south through the entire length of the sett ; the Wheal Thomas copper lode runs nearly east and west, and the silver lead lodes at Port Cavern, being counter lodes, run south-east and north-west, intersecting the whole of the other lodes at the depth of 30 fathoms. Five lodes have been already worked upon, and two others par tially opened. The principal lode is the great antimony lode, which was worked many years since, and produced antimony ore to the amount of 72,0001., at a profit of 52,000/. ; the whole of which was realised in the course of two years. The extent of working on this lode is only 30 fathoms from surface, and stopped down wards, north and south of the shaft, about 50 fathoms in length. At that period no steam-engine was on the mine, and the opera tions were carried on only in the summer months, by the aid of a horse-whim. During these limited workings, six men, in the course of six months, raised antimony ore which realised a profit of 6,0001. The adventurers, after incurring considerable expenditure In continuing the deep edit, tsxpeliented great difficulties, in conse quence of failing to make arrangements with the owners of some intervening ground, who required an exorbitant suns to pass through their lands. Application was afterwards made to the lord of the manor for a renewed lease upon more liberal terms, the due being then one-seventh, but it being refused, and the whole of the works filling with water, owing to an extraordinary flood, the mine was then abondoned. About four years since, four adventurers took up the sett and expended upwards of 700/. upon the mine, but discon tinued working in consequence of the death of the principal party and the continuance of the diffl culties with the proprietors of the ground above referred to. Satisfactory arrangements have, how ever, now been made with the various owners of these lands, and the Company can, therefore, now complete the old workings as for- merly proposed. Upwards of 2 0 ,0001. have been expended upon the various works on the Mine, which, to a great extent, will be available for the future operations of the Company. All the deep and shallow wilts have just been opened, and are now dry, and their entrances secured and fully completed; 700 fathoms of adits have be n driven and are now open, and eight shafts have been sunk, two of which are 30 fathoms each in depth. A lease has been obtained from the Right Hon. the Earl of For tescue and Viscount Ebrington for 21 years, at 1-16th dues. A lease has also been granted by the trustees of the adjoining estates of Tre sungus and Vennies for 21 years, at the same amount of dues ; and like terms have been made with the owners of the adjoining setts. The value of the ore from the Old Trewether lodes has long been acknowledged, and, as a proof of the same, the Trustees of the British Museum, in the year 1825, purchased, for 1,0001., various specimens of the silver lead, antimony, and copper ore, the produc tion of these mines, which can be seen in the Mineralogical depart ment of that institution. This Company is divld , :d into 10,000 shares, upon each of which the sum of 1/. Is to be paid upon allotment ; but only 3,500 shares, in addition to thosa constituting the purchase money, will be issued at present, as it is believed that that amount will be more than ample to complete the present workings and secure a remunerative return- It has been satisfactorily proved by some of the men who were formerly employed, that, at the period of the water breaking Into the mine, about 35 tons of antimony ore were ready to be brought to surface, but the workmen w re compelled hastily to abandon it, as well as all their tools, which will be found and rendered available when the shaft has been cleared, which can be effected within a fort night after the 20-horse power portable steam-engine has been set to work. This ore will produce 75 per cent. of the regulus of antimony, which, at the present market price of the metal, will realize about 1,0001. The remaining 2,000 shares will form a reserve fund for working the additional setts which have been obtained, and will be issued at a premium of 21. upon each share, the full amount of which will be carried to the credit of the Company. Applications for the un.dlorted shares, accompanied by satisfac tory references, may be made, on or before the 29th inst., in the usual form, to the Committee of Management, at the offices of the Company, 1, Cushion-court, Old Broad-street, London.

All left the anchorage under sail, but finding no wind, the Prince Regent was taken in tow off the Nab by the Sidon, the Queen by the Valorous, and the Amphion (screw) and Vulture (paddle) by the Leopard. The Edinburgh, 58, screw block-ship, Captain Hewlett, steamed away from the anchorage in the afternoon on a three weeks' cruise. It was said the First Lord of the Admiralty was about to take a cruise in her, but we cannot hear that he is aboard. As soon as Rear-Admiral Corry was out of sight Commodore Martin, C. 8., of the Duke of Welling ton, 131, hoisted his blue broad pendant at the main of that ship. It was not hoisted on Saturday ;we mistook other firing for the complimentary salute incidental to hoisting a flag. TRH LATE LORD SALTOUN.—The Chisholm writing to the Times says :—" That it was Lieutenant-General Sir James Macdonell who commanded the Guards at Hougoumont, and with them made good the defence of that important post, the very key of the position at Waterloo. Lord Saltoun was next in seniority to Sir James Macdonell, and fought gallantly by his side. The late Duke never forgot the circumstances of this most noble defence, nor the name of the officer who conducted it. If any excuse is necessary for me, as a relation of Sir James Macdonell, for correcting the error into which you have fallen, it may be found in the fact that the late Lord Saltoun, when he was on one occasion spoken of as the defender of Hougoumont, replied, that the only credit he deserved on the occasion was for obey ing the orders which he received from the commanding officer, Sir James Macdonell. He was too good and too chivalrous a soldier to take praise which belonged to others, and, in truth, he earned enough honour for him self to satisfy any man." THE HARVEST IN IRELAND.--The corn markets all through the country afford the most gratifying evidence of the progress already made in the harvest, and of the promptitude with whicL the farmers are availing them selves of the present high prices for agricultural produce. The largeness of the supplies of grain at this early period of the season is a remarkable circumstance, and it is attributed to the more thrifty habits of the tenantry, many of whom are persons of great intelligence and comparative wealth. The accounts received report most favourably of the potatoe crop. Although in some dis tricts the stalks and leaves appear black and withered, the tuber is described as being perfectly sound. The demand for harvest labourers is so great that in the county of Tipperary they are receiving I.s. 6d. a day, with their diet. CHRISTCHURCH AND 366.113ETH REGATTA.—Yesterday er afternoon ei g n s t , h a e n s d i x o t t h h e r annualpri pr iz es, es, was rowing-match contest f e o d r a for pu b rs y e i o 2 f sov free watermen, residing in the parishes of Christchurch and Lambeth. It was a double smilers' match, in three heats, the two first being in flood, and the final heat in ebb tide. The result was as follows : Red the winner, blue second, and green third. Great interest was excited upon the result, and the river presented an animated scene, from the number of boats that accompanied the match. JUSTICE TO SCOTLAND. ( From the Weekly Dispatch.) We never expected t o hear such a cry as this from such a quarter. It has become chronic in Ireland, where people cannot, or at least do not, depend upon any energies or resources of their own, except those which are exclusively exerted in hallooing to other people to come to their rescue. It is the miserable consolation of the futile and ineffectual to attribute their misfortunes to the injustice of those who have helped themselves, and whom thereby God has helped. But we are somewhat humiliated to think that such a cuckoo note shouk find a parrot echo reverberated from the manly and self-asserting race who inhabit the northern side of tie Tweed. We doubt whether we would hear of the cuerulous expostulations even from our Irish friends, were they well off and prosperous. What should ever ha' e led our fellow-subjects of Scot land, warm and i well to d o , t o f orget the c h arac t er i s tic, we might call t national maxim, "to let well alone," can only be explained by reference to that lurking spirit of . jobbery which, under th e d ynasty of the D un d ase s, disgraced a portion of ;he m iddl e and h i gher c l asses o f Scotland, who waited upon Providence with such ortho dox trust and pious confidence. W e thi n k we are quite capable of discussing tins ques ti on in a per f ec tly im partial spirit. We are m)re inclined to remonstrate than to sneer our way through it. A Scotchman has a "reasonable soul"—some honourable pride—a sense of shame—a sturdy ma.nfulneas. We speak therefore, as unto wise men, and entreat them t o judge what we say. A manifesto has been issued from Edinburgh, signed by provosts and baillies, advocates, phy s i c i ans Ler divines —a lord or two, and some baroneta—. having our title for its text. We think it supplies its oven best refutation. -It tells us that Scotland `consists of 2,800 000 inhabi tants, and contributes 6,0 00 , 0001 . to the revenue ; while Ireland, with a population of 6 , 5 00,000, musters not quite 2,000,0001., whereof the whole is spent in the country, and more to boot. Why, this is like the man who should complain that he . pays 1,0001. a year income tax, while his neighbour is exempt, because his income is under 1501. There is something singularly il logical, and, therefore, not at all Scotch, in this blatant document. It first claims for Scotland justice to its nation ality, its independence as a separate kingdom —its rights under the Act of Union—and then it blinks all these items to prefer other demands on abstract grounds of vulgar arith metic, which are directly in the teeth of its union and its nationality. Her Act of Union gave to Scotland only 45 representatives in the Imperial Parliament—while that Parliament itself raised the” number to 53. W e ll . The " Statement of Grievances very composedly aban dons the plea of the Union and of rights as an indepen dent kingdom, and argues, by Rule of Three, that, if England have 500 Members, Scotland should have 77. Yorkshire, with a larger population, and much greater wealth, than Scotland, has , only half her nu m b er o f Members. "Oh ! but then, rejoins the Caledonian grumblers, "Yorkshire is but a province, and Scotland is a separate kingdom with independent rights." Again. Lancashire is about as populous as Scotland —a goo d deal richer—and returns about thirteen millions of reve nue to the Exchequer. That duchy ought to have, ac cording to the " Justice to Scotland" theory, more than twice the amount of public money spent within its borders to that disbursed in the " north countrie." But it is quite the other way. For the sole and exclusive use of Scotland a separate hierarchy, a numerous and varied judic.al establishment, commissioners of northern lights, national institutions, six colleges, and we know not what besides, are maintained, mostly at the expense of the Imperial Exchequer. Lancashire has none of these things provided for her. The answer is ready. Lanca shire is but a province, while Scotland is a kingdom. But if that be the ground of distinction between the ri val comretitors for a grievance, what becomes of that other, according to Cocker, which claims " justice" on the score that Scotland returns so much revenue, while she retains so little for her expenditure ; and Ireland, with treble her population, pays less than hail her amount of taxes, and expends upon herself all, and more than all, she contributes ? The tonnage entering the port of Liverpool, and the Customs levied there, amount to several times as much as those in all Scotland. Yet Liverpool has no Board of Cus toms, and is relogated to London in all cases of diffi culty connected with the question of foreign revenue. Under the cry, however, of " Justice to Scotland," the modern Covenanters who have bound themselves together to pursue this crotchet to the utmost, demand the restoration of a regular Board of Customs to Leith, be cause it was there before, and because Scotland is an inde pendent kingd ona ; but theydrop this plea altogether in a few sentences, and found the claim on the greater amount of revenue paid and of commercial business transacted in Scotland than in Ireland. If national establishments should be centred anywhere in the former it should be in Glasgow, the true heart and centre of this country. But this will not suit the " book" of these remonstrants, who claim their retention in Edinburgh as the capital city, in law, although the progress of society, and the growth of trade and commerce, have left that place im measurably behind her western rival of the Clyde. If the land of cakes is to have Boards of Customs, Ex cise, and Stamps, long after the use of such establish ments is past, why not require a sovereign of her own, demand a resident court, and insist upon the revival of a separate nobility ? But if such mediaeval claims are to be listened to where is the grumbling to stop ? Why not revive the kingdoms of the Heptarchy ? Perhaps the two kings of Brentford, who harmoniously smelled at the same nosegay. If Scotland is to quote nationality, Acts of Union, independence, and solemn compacts at every turn, in support of a claim to exclusive privileges, and to rights which have long survived their meaning or purpose, every separate county, borough, duchy, principality, or province may, with equal force of law and logic, prefer each its peculiar charter of prescrip tion. Northumberland and Westmoreland should be restored to Scotland ; heritable jurisdictions should be revived ; prelacy should rear its head in Aberdeenshire ; and popery in the Celtic counties • the Highlander should demand the restoration of all the laws and cus toms which were crushed by the strong hand of the Lowlanders ; in a word, the Eglinton tournament should be revived as a reality, and anti quar i es s h ou ld b e di rected by royal commission to examine the origin of the title "kingdom of Fife," in the view of assigning to that county some sovereign all to herself, to hold state in Dunfermline, and restore its abbey to its pristine in tegrity. Why should Scotland alone set forth upon the Quixote enterprise of a resurrection of the dead and rot ten carcase of archeological pr escr i pt i on ? Exhume the claims of Cornwall to its Court of Stanneries and other an cient perquisites and privileges ; revive the boroughs ruth lessly sacrificed on the altar of reform to the ogre schedule A ; rebuild whatever has crumbl e d t o ru i ns th a t on ce was a house, a custom or a right —where wou ld t h e con fusion end or common sense begin ? The Isle of Man has been " annexed " to England without any consent of its three legs, or the Manximm. Guernsey, J er sey, Alderney, i an% Sark has eachits little bill of antiquities. Our foreign dependencies, while we are settling these ques tions of grievance, have equal rights of this purely his torical kind — and we are afraid to cont e mplate the very w hisper of such a subject in its application to Ireland and Brian Borou. When . Scotland h a d a ll the paraphe nalia of which it is now claimed she should be again put in possession, she had to pay for them all separately out of her own resources. If she is prepared to do that now, she may doubtless accomplish their restoration. At present she pays no more than her fair share of im perial taxation ; and can qualify no better title on that score, to the perquisites of a useless expenditure, than Manchester or Bristol. There is no Board of Customs, Excise, or Stamps in Ireland, any more than in Scot land. Is the country at large to be taxed to supply the means of a totally useless expenditure for offices that are not merely unnecessary, but have proved detrimen tal to the public service and instruments of local job bery and corruption, only to satisfy rival clamours for national recognition ? It is nothing to the credit of either country, that they have separate and conflicting institutions, jurisdictions, churches, laws. It is the en deavour of enlightened men to assimilate the se —b o th borrowing from the other what is good in each. It is an evidence of nothing but of execrable stupidity, that whenever a British subject crosses the border, he places himself under the operation of a set of laws and judges of which and whom he knows no more than of the me dicine men of Kafraria, or the pundits of Hindostan. What can be more incongruous than the fact, that the Queen is a Dissenter at Balmoral, a heretic at Dublin, and the head of the Church at Osborne or Windsor ? We can quite understand the measure, the ex e t en t o f the interest which Edinbu r g h has in blowing this con troversy into a flame of national enthusiasm. Her shop keepers, house-proprietors, lawyers, doctors, parsons, and professors would have very pretty pickings out of it. The Edinburgh Post-office would witness a retur n of its time-honoured s y stem of peculation, by being virtually irresponsible to a London Board. Th e "good easy men" who retired from political service in the livery of the Hopes and Dundases, into the snuggeries of Excise, and Stamps, and Customs Corn missionerships, and looked upon the collection of the revenue much more as it affected the con ven i ence of the Scotch mercha nts than the interests of the Imperial Exchequer, would spend the public money at their ease in Leith and Edinburgh, and do th e di r t y work of faction, and the j obs of corruption, as they did before. But we cannot, for the life of us, see that Aber deen or Dundee, or Glasgow or Perth, can derive any substantial advantage from being taxed to enable sine curi.ts to dose life away in " Auld Reekie ; " to pay Sir David Lindsay of the Mount, Lord Lyon King-at-Arius, to define the exact place of the lion of Scotla n d among the emblems of the United Kingdom ; or to determine the quarterings of — Dread Dalhousie, the great god of wa r , Lieutenant-General to the Earl of Mar. If the gentlemen grievance-mongers and those patriotic antiquaries who grumble throug h their inventory of na tional wrongs will prove to us that it will be for the good of the country as a whole that any of their requi sitions should be granted, they will make out an inex pungable case on much stronger bases .than purely ter ritorial of archeological grounds. But if all they have to say in favour of their views is, that Parliament should spend, for the mere sake of spending, public money upon the revival of corrupting sinecures and unprofitable offices, merely to add the income of public idlers to the general expenditure of Edinburgh, we think there are not many honest and right-minded Scotchmen who will add their signatures to this document. It is to no pur pose that the adherents to this modern solemn league and covenatit rest their case upon precedent and exam ple. The precedent is vicious, and the example to be deprecated. Let them rather help is in our endeavour to put a stop to the abuse, than extend it to themselves on the plea of cases in point. London should build its own bridges and maintain its own public institutions in so far as these are local. Indeed, if the inhabitants of the metropolis possesed half the spirit of those of Man chester or Glasgow, they would scorn to go to the public purse to do that which they are able and should be proud to do for themselves. As for Dublin, she is a public pauper ; and if Edinburgh desires to enter the same cate gory, by all means let her have an equality of alms. But if Scotland means to maintain her high character for self-help and self-respect, her sons and daughters will scorn to don the blue gown of the political gaberlunzie —instruct her representatives to help reformers in put ting a stop to the mendicity of London and Dublin— and compel districts which are unjustly favoured to take their hands out of the public pocket, and to observe the wise maxim of making every tub stand on its own bottom. THE EASTERN QUESTION. ( From the Press. ) If the character of Great Britain and the balance of power in Europe, and the great interests of liberty and civilisation were not deeply involved, we might say the solution of the Eastern question, as explained by Lord John Russell on Tuesday, was simply ridiculous. After a long and grave silence—after significant ap peals to Mr. Layard, importing and portending great results—after a congress of the representatives of the European Powers, with negotiations and messages and notes, during the season for energetic measures— the solution is this : the united fleets of England and France, instead of moving from Besika Bay to the waters of Constantinople, may retire to Salamis and Malta ; and the armies of Russia may retire beyond the Pruth ; but neither process is stipulated for or is treated as material to the issue, which is confined to the acqui escence of the Porte in certain proposals upon which Russia has been previously sounded, and which the Ministry have thankfully ascertained are acceptable to her. The debate on Tuesday was not, however, so pacific as the contemplations of Lord John Russell and his colleagues. Exhausted as it is, the House of Commons evinced more spirit than its leader. Every speaker, ex cept Mr. Cobden, vigorously assailed the Government, and even he, the only apologist of the Ministry, received asuEpapgolrataindg has colleaguescastigation. ult on fromim Lord ane ous Pa ly shown itself in the tone of most of the organs of public opinion ; and it is obvious that Englishmen of the pre sent day feel, like their ancestors, that the blessings of Simultaneously the of r peace are purchased too dearly, and cannot be secured permanently, by the sacrifice of national honour. Nothwithstanding the Ministerial reserve, some matters of considerable importance transpired through Lord John Russell's speech. It is admitted now, for the first time, that the ques tion re gar di ng t h e S acre d Pl aces was but the pretext for Russian aggression. Lord John Russell states that in April last Lord Stratford was informed by the Turkish Minister that new demands had been made by Russia, with the ignominious requirement that they should be concealed from the knowledge of Great Britain and France. Turkey, with her characteristic good faith, communicated them, not withstanding, to her allies. But Lord John Rus sell, on Tuesday, did not express himself with the indignation befitting a British Minister addressing the British House of Commons, as regards this dis creditable attempt. It appears, too, that what Lord John Russell declares to be the undoubted right of Tur key to consider the occupation of the provinces as a easus belli was waived by that power under the pacific influence of Lord Aberdeen, a counsel of which he is entitled to take the chance fruits if he dared to assume its certain responsibility. In conclusion, we learn, that should the Sultan re fuse to accept, or require any modification of, the note proposed by the four Powers, the previous com munication of that note to Russia, tends, as suggested by Mr. Layard, to complicate this re sponsibility with conflicting obligations. The Min isters are not, indeed, absolutely concluded by their recommendations, for they have not acted in the matter as arbitrators ; but Lord Aber deen may find himself in a position towards Russia which may be inconsistent with the liability he has contracted on behalf of Turkey. In any event, and whatever may be the issue, he and his colleagues are at length exemplifying the spirit of " self-sacrifice" in which they professed to take office. For them, their conduct of this business is a voluntary abandonment of their credit as English statesmen ; while for the interests for which, as Russian diplomatists, they are providing, the substantial question, as Mr. Layard stated, is " not settled, but only deferred." CHURCH . RATES. (From. the Press.) The decision of the House of Lords in the long-liti gated Braintree case has established a point frequently in dispute, and which lies at the very root of the whole church rate controversy. It will, perhaps, be remem bered that the parish of Braintree, in Essex, has for many years past acquired an unenviable notoriety in connection with this quarrel. The holy war of church warden against vestry was nowhere waged with more uncompromising pertinacity. Far be it from us to revive the memory, or to trace the successive steps, of a lawsuit, or rather of two suits closely connected, and following one on the other, which jointly have lasted without intermission from June, 1837, to the present time. The result of these may be summed up in a single sentence. By the first decision, in 1841, it was laid down authoritatively that a churchwarden alone could not make and raise a rate against the will of the pa rishioners, even though for the necessary repairs of the consecrated fabric—a claim to that effect having been put forward, and the state of the law being up to that time so doubtful that Dr. Lushington, in his judicial ca pacity, felt himself bound to affirm the validity of the act. The ecclesiastical litigants, naturally dissatisfied with their defeat, renewed the contest without delay. A Ty •••• • - vestry was again called in Braintree—a rate again pro posed—the proposal defeated—evidence of the necessity adduced—and the churchwarden, acting in this instance with the defeated minority of the vestry, proceeded once more to collect the amount so decided upon by the usual legal means. This second question has run the gauntlet of five tribunals, and is now settled in favour of the re cusant parishioners, and against the churchwardens. The consequences of this suit are practically of con siderable importance, though less so than they would have been before the good sense of the parochial clergy had led them to resort as generally as they now do to less obnoxious methods of raising the needful funds for church repair. For, according to the strict theory of the l a w as previously understood, vestries had very little right of refusing to pay whatever burden might be laid upon them. It was, at least, doubtful whether the ecclesiastical officer had not individually, in case of re fusal, the power to tax them ; and it was certain that, in the event of the church falling into disrepair through neglect, the whole parish might be punished for their contumacy. But the latter mode of action has long been abandoned as vexatious and impracticable; and the former is now ascertained to be contrary to law. Hence, for the future, both in theory and in practice, every parish is allowed to decide for itself whether it shall, or shall not, keep its church buildings in repair. But this is, in fact, though not in name, a recognition of the "voluntary principle ;" the only compulsion being that which the majority within the parish may exercise over the minority also residing therein. Of such compulsion it does not seem to us that members of the National Church have any right to complain. They receive value for their money. They are only doing that which, by somewhat different machinery, every dissenting congre gation does ; for every dissenting congregation supports its place of worship by payments to which all except the poorest members contribute. The case is different as regards dissenters. Their claim to exemption, as a matter of right, cannot, indeed, be asserted consistently with the theory of a national establishment ; but as a matter of expediency—as a means of avoiding discredit able quarrels, which often terminate in defeat—the clergy would do well to acquiesce in, if not to demand, a change in the existing law. For how does that law operate Simply in the great towns, and throughout the manu facturing districts generally (to say n othing of many rural parishes), to prevent the levying of any church rate whatever. Voluntary efforts are paralysed by the existence of a compulsory power. Than this, no result in physical science is more certain; and the c ompulsorypo f z e r avails nothing--it is a name, not a reality—a majority o vestry may defeat it—vexatious lawsuits may defeat it— the resistance of a few individuals may cause a degree of opposition and difficulty which it is not worth while to encounter—the proceeds are generally small, the ex penses of law always considerable --prudence, peace, economy, all combine to forbid a struggle. Once more, let us remind our readers how large a proportion of ecclesiastical incomes are raised either from sources independent of church rate, or from that part of church rates which falls on churchmen. In round num bers, the revenue of the establishment equals 6,000,0001. Some put it higher, some lower ; we take a mean. Church rate revenues do not exceed 600,0001., or 10 per cent. on the whole ; and of these, the sum paid by dis senters certainly falls short of 100,0001., while it pro bably comes nearer to 50,0001. In one case, 1-60th of the total income : in the other, 1.20 th of that income. That is to say, the above amount ought to be collected. But in practice but a small fraction of it is collected ; the real payment falling far below the nominal debt. Is this a tax worth fighting for ? "No change or compromise " may be a fit motto for Rome ; but it is scarcely one which can or should be adopted by our Reformed and Protestant Church.
