It greatly deplores, and indignantly r e p robates 1 existence and extension of slavery in the southern parts w (l z that great Republic, by which a sixth portion of the and brutes is degraded into the condition of chattels - "a brutes, and that an internal slave trade, to an enor -111116111 extent, is carried on, to supply the demand for Zalaa beings in the slave markets of that c ountr y under eamstances as disgusting as they arc barbarous, by all which t . fie right s o f h uman i ty are t ram pled under foot—the sacred Peeples of justice and benevolence violated, and the hol y claims of Religion outraged and contemned.

THERE is perhaps no situation in life so full of embarrassment as when the over-sensitir( feel them selves Compelled to reveal their moral indiscretio ns, or their p hysical Perfections, to others. Day after day does the horn)] of exposure ' t eurnulate in the morbid imagination, while increasing disease aug- M ents the suffering of the body and the irritability of the mind. Sen sible of the anguish thus protracted, we have adoiste s system which , ° 4 practical experience has proved to be highly sme essful, and which r eeludes the absolute necessity of personal commun ication with those who recoil from such mode of consultation. A full and minute d escription of the case, WI itteil iii plain language, will enable tit to treat the patient with delicate secrecy; and such has been the pecu liar nature of our practice, embracing every variety of difficult cir etlmstances that the most timid may leel encouragement in the oppor.

NEW LABEL. TN consequence of the great variety of Counter feit Wrappers of " ROWLAND'S MACASSA It 01L," scow in circulation, and which so nearly resemble the original as frequently to deceive the unwary, the Proprietors, acting under a sense of duty, and regardless of expense in the attain ment of their object, the protection of the public from fraud and imposition, have employed those celebrated Artists, Messrs. Perkins and Bacon, who have succeeded in producing " A NEW L ABEL" from steel, of so complicated and intri cate a nature, and of such excessive difficulty of execution, as to amount to an impossibility of imitation, and to be considered by connoisseurs a masterpiece in the art of engraving. The label forms a combination ct beautiful designs, a portion encircling a BUST of her Majesty the " Queen," which sur mounts the words, in two lines, ROWLAND'S MACASSAR OIL, (the ground work is composed of the most elaborate and chaste patterns of lace-work.)

Hodgson and Graves, her Majesty's Printsellers and Publishers, have the honour to announce to the Subscribers to the Engraving, that the Proofs before Letters of this beautiful Portrait are now ready for delivery. " No mention, Bishop Barlow observes, is made of tithes in the grand codes of canons, ending in the year of our Lord 457, (which, next to the Bible, he considers as the most au thentic book in the world). During all that period, there fore, both the clergy and the Church appear to have been sup ported by the free gifts and other oblations of the pious."—See Selden on Tithes, and Barb. Rem. 169. " Tithes, from the Saxon word Teoda, which signifies the tenth part of a thing, may be defined to be the tenth part of the increase yearly, arising and renewing from the profits of land, the stock upon lands, and the personal industry ti the in habitants."-2 Black. Corn. 24. From the above readings the following scale is de.'neible : Allowing agricultural produce to realise thirty per cent., which is absolute—tithe impost to be included—and increase being considered synonymous with produce—a tenth is 13/. per cent. Here we must observe we think the imposition of three half pence in every shilling quartern loaf a severe infliction for our spiritual edification. Albeit it would almost pass without a murmur, but that our hallowed Faith enjoins us " To feed the hungry"—arid its denunciations are upon those who are unmind ful of " the child of misery baptised in tears."

We cull from the " blaze of eloquence" of immortal Milton the epitaph for the patron of this work—" Revolutions of ages do not oft recover the loss of a rejected truth, for the want of which whole nations fare the worse." " In the House of Lords, the debate being on the state of Ireland, the Earl of Liverpool said, ' The Noble Lord had in sisted on tithes, a property to which the Church had a right. He could not go quite the length of his Noble Friend, and be lieved that ultimately the question must come under the con sideration of Parliament."—(Hear, hear.)—See Morning Herald, June 20, 1823. There is the recorded vote of the House of Commons to 10 per ccr.t. property or income tax ! being oppressive. Under the operation of the property tax an esquire whose principal of 10,0001. netted him 500/. per annum, paid to the State 50/., under the operation of the tithe composition, an outlay of 500/. subjects the cultivator to the same 501. ; this, in -deed, is " th' oppressors wrongs." " The alarm excited by announcing a proposed continuance of the income tax was now beginning to operate ; and the city of London commenced an opposition by presenting to Parlia ment, on Feb. 8, two petitions against the tax, one from the Lord Mayor, Alderman, and Common Council, the other from the Lord Mayor and Liverymen, both expressed in strong lan guage, respecting the odious and inquisitorial nature of the tax. The Ministers and their adherents increased their efforts to make it appear that the opposition to the tax was fastened by popular clamour and party manoeuvres. This attempt re ceived a final defeat by a petition, presented on March 18, by Sir William Curtis, from the merchants, bankers, and traders of the city of London. The number of signatures was 22,000. March the 18th the Chancellor of the Exchequer proposed the continuance of the obnoxious tax several other speakers fol lowed on each side. At length every voice was drowned in the cry of question, and the House divided, when the numbers were, for the continuance of the tax; 201, against it 238, majority 37. When the result was announced, a long and loud cheering arose in the House, which was re-echoed by the crowd that filled the lobby and avenues, and the event was felt throughout the na tion vs a relief from an oppressive burden."—Annual Register for 1816.

" The Council of Calcuith, or Calchite, held in 785, or, ac cording to others, in 787, on account of erecting Lichfield into an Archbishopric, ratified the Canons of a Synod that had been cons-ened just before in Northumberland. Gregory and Theophilact, who presided as the Pope's Legates, acknow ledged, in their letter to the Pope, that they were tl.e first that had been sent into England will that character. The follow ing are some of the Canons of the Synod of Northumberland, ratified by the Council of Calcuith:-Bth. The ancient privileges of the Church are carefully to be preserved. The 17th urges the payment of Tithes from the authority of the Law of Moses." " Ethelwulph's reign furnishes us with a subject, which, though mentioned elsewhere, it will not be amiss to repeat a little more largely of in this place ; I mean the grant of Tithes. The Charter runs thus : " Is Ethclwulph, by the grace of God, &c., have, for the health of my soul, and good of my people, taken the prudent resolution of granting the tenth partof all the lands throughout my whole kingdom to the Church and Ministers of Religion, &c. &c.—Dated the Palace at Wilton, in the year 854, Indic tion the second, at the Feast of Easter." The terms, date, and subscription of the Charter, have in duced several' learned men to believe it spurious. But without entering into the controversy, I shall content myself with ob serving, that long before this Charter the Clergy of England claimed a right to the Tithes, if they were not already in actual possession of them. This is evident from the 17th Canon of the Council of Calcuith, held in 785, where we find they urged the payment of Tithes from the Law of Moses. If this Chas ter, therefore, is not to be considered a forgery, it seem at least to be of very doubtful authority. Add to this, that by the tenths part of the lands must necessarily be meant the tenth part of the profits ; which must be owned to be a very forced interpretation, especially in a primordial Act such as this."— Page 111, Rapin s History of England. st The plan which I have to unfold may at first appear start ling, • • . . to introduce within the Christian Church.

When fortune's frowns disturb my mind, And friends appear to grow unkind; Relief I seek within my box, My system is quite orthodox. When a true friend perchance I meet, I cheerfhlly his person greet, A hearty " How do )ou do ?" takes place, When, lo Imy snuff-box shows its face.
