IN the morning of Life, when the blandish-
ments of passion " take the reason prisoner," it is
an evil more to be lamented than wondered at, if, in the
vortex of deceptive pleasure, the unhappy traitor against
the laws of nature pays in lonely disappointment a fearful
exaction for his rebellion in the compromise of his mental
as well as bodily powers. To all persons so circumstanced
as to require the professional aid of men of experience,
whose time has been for twenty years studiously and suc-
cessfully devoted to the complaints arising from nervous
debility, whether natural or acquired, GOSS and CO.
proffer the most consolatory assurances. The youth who
has enervated his frame by the strangely fascinating sin,
which the poor victim of folly will too readily comprehend
without further description, may find relief from his misery,
and be kindly taught to regain his lost place in the scale of
creation. The sufferer who, from another extreme of in-
dulgence, has with unbashful forehead, wooed debility,
may learn to renovate nature, and repair his abused con-
stitution. The man of pleasure exposed to and suffering
from Lues Venerea, however aggravated by malpractice of
dip quack, or the concealment from diffidence, may find
a certain restoration ; and finally in cases where the delay
of a connubial pledge has almost extended disappointment
to despair, they offer to the married female those hopes
which she can reasonably appreciate.
Messrs. GOSS and Co. are to be consulted, as usual,
every day, at their house; and patients in the remotest
parts of the country can be treated successfully on des,:rib-
ing minutely the case, and enclosing a remittance for Ad-
vice and Medicine. No difficulty can occur as the Medi-
cine will be securely packed, and carefully protected from
observation.

The sudden disappearance from the city of a
gentleman who has, of late years, acquired notoriety as
the agent for prosecutions of a certain description, has
given rise to a variety of conjectures. it was at first said
and believed that some losses in speculations in the funds
bad induced him to quit the country before the day of
settlement at the Stock Exchange, but it does not appear
from what has taken place there tu.day, that he has hem
connected with any gambling transactions in the funds._.
Times.

Hypnot).Ho3lA.--About two months ago, 4
dog belonging to Mrs. MosKmAN, of the Old Sand Hill,
in Collier-gate, York, suddenly showed symptoms of hy-
drophobia, and bit some of the servants about the pre-
mises. A young woman was most severely lacerated on
the arm, and though the wound was apparently perfectly
healed in about a fortnight afterwards, the result has been
fatal. On Sunday week she married a young man named
CROSBY, a sailor, and on Friday last, the horrid disorder
which had been rankling in her blood manifested itself in
its deadliest form. The young woman continued in gt-eat
agony till Saturday evening, when death terminated the
afflicting scene. It has been conjectured that dancing and
other festivities connected with the wedding feast may have
accelerated the development of the fatal disorder. Her
remains were interred on Monday evening, in the church-
yard of St. Mary Bisbophill the Elder, and au immense
concourse of spectators attended the funeral obsequies of
this unfortunate bride, who has in one week from the
day of her marriage been thus awfully consigned to her
tomb.—Leeds Mercury.

Mr. CAMPBELL was sorry to hear any slur thrown
on registration of any kind.—( Hear.) He instanced the
mode of registration in Scotland, a mode which precluded
all attempts at fraud.
Mr. K. DOUGLAS remicded the Hon. and Learned
Member, that in Scotland there were perhaps but from fifty
to one hundred freeholders in a county ; whereas in Ireland
and in England the voters were not only mure numerous,
but more varied in character, and required more extensive
arrangements.
The petition was ordered to be printed.
Mr. O'CONNELL then presented a petition which, he
said, materially concerned the privileges of this House.
It was from a gentleman named Richard Gurney,
who stated that on the 17th of November, 1830, he and
a gentleman named Charles King presented a petition,
praying to be declared duly elected for the borough of
Tregony. It appeared that those two gentlemen had been
candidates for the borough, and were declared by the
Mayor duly elected; but that another election was held
by another person claiming to be Mayor (falsely so claim-
ing as he understood), and that two othq candidates,
Messrs. Gordon and Mackellos, were declared duly elected.
The petition then presented was referred to a Committee,
who, without hearing the evidence, declared that the sitting
Members were duly elected, and that the petition was
frivolous and vexatious; the whole of the costs, amount-
ing to about 1,200/., fell upon the present petitioner
only, Mr. Gurney, and not upon him and Mr. King jointly,
as he conceived it ought to have been, even supposing the
Committee had decided correctly. The petitioner, there•
fore, prayed for a Committee of appeal, and for such other
remedy as to the House should seem meet. The Hon. and
Learned Member cited various clauses in the statute, in
support of certain portions of the petitioner's claims, and ex-
pressed his intention of bringing the subject hereafter be-
fore the House.

The SPEAKER said he had perused the petition,
and he thought there were some points deserving con-
sideration as affecting the connection between this House
and its Committees. He suggested, therefore, that the
best way would be to have the petition printed and ad-
journ the debate to a future day.
Mr. O'CONNELL acceded to the suggestion, and
agreed to an adjournment of the debate until Monday next;
the petition iu the mean time to be printed.
Mr. O'CONNELL presented a petition from a parish in
Queen's County, Ireland, complaining of certain abuses in
the levying of church rates.
Mr. HENRY GRATTAN and Mr. Rtrrtiveti supported
the petition.
Mr. O'CONNELL would take that opportunity, seeing
his friend the Solicitor-General fur Ireland in his place, to
ask whether au Act which had come down from the
Upper House against the burning of laud in Ireland was
brought in with the sanction of Government. From his
own knowledge of the circumstances of the case, he
should say the prohibition ought to be relaxed.
Mr. CRAMPTON said that the Bill was brought
in upon the sole responsibility of a Noble Marquis in the
other House, and without any sanction from his Majesty's
Government.

Mr. M. O'CONNELL presented two petitions from
places in the county of Cork, against the grant to the Kil.
dare-street Society.
Mr. JOHN WOOD presented a petition, signed by
500 inhabitants of Macclesfield, praying for the remis-
sion of the sentence passed at the Surrey Sessions against
Hobert Taylor. The petitioners, he stated, held no
opinions in common with that unfortunate individual, but
considered, however flagrant his conduct might have been,
his case was one of great hardship. He considered the
existence of the Society for the Suppression of Vice, at
whose instance the prosecution in question was ori-
ginated, as arguing either the imbecility or ignorance
of his Majesty's Government. The Hon. Member
presented several petitions front retailers of beer, praying
that the only alteration in the Beer Bill might be, that
the law of all dealers in liquor should be assimilated.
Also a petition fron► James Benson, a freeman of Liver-
pool, praying that the Liverpool writ might be issued.
Mr. HUME presented a petition, signed by 300 friends of
humanity and justice,in behalf of the courageous and suffering
Poles. He would take that opportunity of calling upon Go-
vernment to consider that that subject called upon them to in-
terfere, and use all the influence they possessed with other
Courts, to put an end to the effusion of human blood
in Poland. This country had already interfered fur
Belgium ; and he hoped the time was come when
the British Government would show themselves equally
attentive to the interests of freedom arid national
independence in Poland. The Honourable Member then
presented a petition signed by merchants and manufactu-
rers engaged in the Baltic trade in Montrose, complaining
of the evils arising from the exaction of Elie quarantine laws.
Also A petition from the attornies and writers in Montrose
agP.inst the Attornies' Act; and a petition from York,
relative to the tithe system. The Hon. Member also pre-
sented petitions from the citizens of York, complaining
of the payments they were obliged to make to the support
of the Church, and praying that the revenue of the
Bishopric of Cork, now vacant, be applied for that purpose;
from Kidderminster, against the Corn Laws ; from a place
in the county of Cork, against the application of the grant
to the Kildare-street Society; from the ship-owners of
Leith, praying the House to take into consideration
the heavy light-house dues paid on that coast; from
the shepherds of Queendale, against the duty on shepherds'.
dogs ; and from the licensed beer retailers of Brighton,
praying to be allowed to keep their houses open to a late
hour.
Mr. B. WALL moved for certain returns relative to
the population, as taken by the census of 1931.
Mr. BENETT presented a petition from Chipnall,
praying for the introduction of poor laws into Ireland.
The petition, after some observations front Mr. O'Corr-
NELL, Mr. GRATTAN, and Mr. HUME, was ordered to be
printed.

Mr. K. DOUGLAS presented a petition from the
West India Association of Dublin, against the Foreign
Sugar Refinery Rill.
Mr. HUNT presented a petition from a person named
Edward Ilaucox, a prisoner in Cold-bath-fields, to which
place he had been committed for selling publications about
the streets, praying the alteration of the law and the abo-
lition of taxation on knowledge.
Mr. lIUME hoped that this sub:ect would be taken
seriously into consideration by his Majesty's Mini-
sters, and that an alteration would be made in the
law. As it at present existed, it mattered not what species
of book a poor fellow sold about the streets, if he sold
any thing that was enough to hurry him off immediately
to p"'an• Be deprecated the existence of any law witih
had a tendency to restrict knowledge,
Mr. HUNT presented a petition from the Westminster
Political Union of the working classes, praying for annual
Parliaments, universal suffrage, vote by ballot, and that no
persons who gave their votes should require any money
quatifications. In presenting the petition the lion. Mem-
ber observed that on a previous occasion be had presented
a petition from the same petitioners, but in consequence
of its not being respectfuliy worded he bad withdraw❑
it for the purpose of its correction, which had been

now done. He agreed entirely with the petitioners, and
was quite confident the Reform question now before the
House was not half so much thought of as it had
been. He had been lately into the country, and
he could most positively assure the House that in those parts
it was now a complete dead letter. Let him go where he
would, he had found it to have become so. The people
had been disappointed in what they were taught to believe
would be the result of the measure.
Mr. LAWLEY thought if the feelings of the country
were such as the Hon. Member for Preston had stated,
large meetings should take place to inform them that such
a change had taken place, and to know from them what
grounds they were taking.
Mr. HUNT perfectly concurred with the Hon. Member
for Warwickshire in the propriety of calling meetings
Where were now, he would ask, the petitions in favour of
the Bill, the whole Bill, and nothing but the Bib ? He had
presented plenty of petitions himself fur the ballot, hut he
had heard of none being presented lately for the Bill.
If a meeting were called in London he would undoubtedly
attend it-- (Laughter)—he should think it his duty to do
so ; for the Bill, as it at present stood, was different to what
it was .when introduced. He considered that the people
had been deluded by Mitaisters!7—(Hear)—and from that
great measure, tvliiterrinleiline ago they thought was
every thing for them, they expected nothing now.—
(Hear, hear.) Nothing would please him more than
to see meetings take place all over the country, as he
should be then sure the question would get fully and
properly discussed.—(Hear.) At the last election the
people dared not discuss it, for any man that attempted
to say any thing against the success Of the Reform Bill,
was sure of not being heard, hut let Common-halls be now
called, and the question would be properly discussed.,.
Mr. LITTLETON thought that if the question had be-
come unpopular, it was not the fault of the Hon. Member
for Preston. That Hon. Member had laboured as effec-
tually as he could to make it unpopular. He could, how-
ever, state that in the county with which he was con-
nected the measure was viewed with as much favour
as it had ever been.—(Hear.) The bittie might
be already considered as decided, and therefore it was not
probable that the excitement which prevailed when the
question was first agitated should still continue. The Bill
in effect was already carried, and the principle was rooted
in the hearts of the country.—(Cheers.)
Mr. BENETT observed, that people only petitioned
for an object which had not been extended to them, but
when that object was in progress there was no necessity to
petition, let but theßill be stopped in its progress in any place,
the House would then have petitions from all parts of the
country. The people were now waiting quietly, but
anxiously, for the result. He trusted it would not be again
necessary for the people to meet and petition ; for lie well
knew that there were not wanting persons whose object
it was to delude thern.—(Hear.)
Mr. D. W. HARVEY said there had been a meeting of
the entire people of the kingdom in favour of this measure.
Let the Honourable Member for Preston call meetings
if he pleased, and then he would see if the people did not
still view the Bill as the only means of conciliating the
feelings and securing the happiness of the nation. In the
county with which lie was connected (Essex) there was as
much unanimity upon this subject as ever. If the same
appeal were made to the country as had been already
made by his Majesty, it would be seen, that notwithstand-
ing the Charles-street fund, and those connected with it
—the new allies of the Hon. Member for Preston—that
the same results would follow, and no fewer advocates
would be found for the measure than there were at first.

Lord VALLETORT felt confident the measure was not
so popular as it had been. As to to the delay in the pro-
gress of the Bill, he begged Hon. Members to refer to the
proceedings of last cif( ek, and they would see on which side
the delay arose.—(Cheers from the Opposition.)
Lord MORPETH stated that the large county ith
which he was connected was as strongly in favour of the
Bill as ever.

Sir It. FERGUSON bore similar testimony to the
anxiety of the people of Nottingham in favour of the
measure. Tifty only expressed dissatisfaction that the Bill
did not proceed more rapidly.
Mr. HODGES had not the smallest reason to believe
that there was any coolness respecting this measure in the
county with which he was connected.
Mr. PAGET expressed the same with regard to the
county with which he was connected. He knew of no
delusion except that practised by the Hon. Member for
Preston himself.
Mr. JAMES stated there had been no change in the
feelings of the people of Carlisle on this subject, and the
only reason why they did not send up petitions urging its
progress, was because they knew that they would delay the
measure.
Mr. O'CONNELL accused the Hon. Member for
Preston of misrepresenting the people. He asked,
could it be supposed that the people wished to revert
to the system which prevailed at the close of the last
Parliament ?—(llear, from Mr. Hunt.) The people knew
the value of this measure, and would not be deluded into
an opposition, the only evidence of which was the Hon.
Member himself and tie Noble Lord.
Lord J. LENNOX stated, that from information which
he had received from various parts of Sussex during the last
fortnight, he was justified in stating that the measure
was as popular there as ever. The petition was then laid
on the table.
Mr. HUNT, in moving that the petition be printed, re-
ferred the House, in proof of his assertions, to the number of
petitions which be had presented from large northern towns,
all denouncing this measure, and praying for more. He
asked, had any man in that House the impudence to tell
lino that this was the same Bill brought up by Ministers
to
aniokuAetfgh: 1 favour
one
enure HUNT w
whom
saidnl h e
three months ago? No such thing, nor any thing
like it. He repeated the Bill was not by any means so
popular as it was before. Three months ago there was
great agitation, but now any man could discuss the
subject without the least danger of being knocked down.
He had said from first to last that the Bill was a
delusion, but now the eyes of the people were opened,
and they would be no longer deluded. He did not care
whether what he said did the Bill good or harm—
(Hear and laughter)--but he would speak the truth, with-
outwhich way it cut. He came into that House
caring
to please himself, and was not fettered by any pledgee,
Mr. HUME contended that if any delusion were prac-
tised it was by the Hon. Member for Preston, who spoke
against the Bill, got up petitions against it, and yet voted for
ing to. It was a libel on the Government and on the House,
'that it was not the Bill that was iirst intro-
duced.it. The proceed ing-s of such a Member were not worth attend-
to say
Ministers had adhered ca tenaciously as possible,
and made an fear alterations as they could.
instance an alteration had been forced on them,
"ea that was to extend the franchise. He really
could not think what sort of society the Hon. Member
went into, when he said that the people were cooling to-
wards the Bill.
tblonutthoeneß
Mr. SIIEIL should like to know upon what autho-
rity the Hon. Member for Preston considered himself
the representative of the people of England—( Hear)—and
what he meant, when be stated so lustily that they
were adverse to the Bill. Before the last election
the complaint was made by the Hon. Member that
the Bill wau not extensive enough, that the people would
not have it, that they wanted something more compre-
hensive ; that so enamoured were the people of Preto;: of
liberty that he could not and would not ta',.ea so mutilated
0,07-i presented by the Bill before
konfant'he measure—(Hex., hear,). -and a reference

of the indisposition, wising feefai continued attendance and
evrtiou in that Mouse, of his Noble Friend the Chancellor
of the Exchequer, which he trusted would be of short
duration, it would be necessary for the Ilonse to make, in
the meantime, some arrangement as to business. His Noble
Friend could not he in his place before Thursday evening,
and he (Lord Palmerston) would suggest, that to. '
morrow the House should proceed with the Irish esti-
mates, and Monday next might he devoted instead thereof
to the Reform Bill.

This arrangeintnt was accordingly agreed to.
BRAZIL.
Mr, DIXON aka some question relative to the pro.

PORTUGAL.
Mr. COURTENAY said, that as it had been intimated
to him that the Noble Lord (Palmerston) opposite would
accede to his motion, and grant all the papers he asked for
as soon as they could be laid upon the table,,he felt him-
self placed in a very different situation to that in which
bad stood when be gave notice of the motion. He had
had not had time for consideration or for consultation with
others, but as his only object was that this country should
stand fair, and as he had not the least desire to embarrass
Ministers, he felt that although he was prepared to enter
into his statement, the most proper course for hint tai
pursue would be to put his motion into the hands of the
Noble Lord, witbout.one word of comment.
Lord PALMERSTON promised that there should he no
unnecessary delay in the production of the papers. It was
right, however, that he should suggest, that the motion
was not so worded as to obtain all the necessary informa-
tion. It would be easy to amend the wording of the mo-
tion ; but perhaps it had better stand as it was, and he
be allowed to reserve to himself the right of moving for
such additional papers as would make up the whole case.
Mr. COURTENAY should prefer making his motion
as it stood, and should be happy to receive any additional
papers which the Noble Lord might think necessary. The
Hon. Member then moved, " That an address be presented
to his M ijesty for copies of all communications that had
passed between the Government of this country and the
Portuguese Government, and between the Government of
this country and the French Government, relative to the
proceedings of the English and French squadrons in the
Tagus."
On the motion being put,

Mr. ROBINSON was anxious to repeat now a ques-
tion which he had put last night to the Chancellor of the
Exchequer. He wished to know if the Government were
informed that the French Admiral, not satisfied with ob-
taining the reparation he claimed from the Portuguese
Government, was now employed in negociations,
of a commercial nature with the Portuguese Go-
vernment, which negociations, if successful, would
be most prejudicial to this country ? He wished
also to ask another question. He held in his hand
a list of eight Portuguese ships of war, which, when his
correspondent despatched his letter from Lisbon, were in
the act of sailing from the Tagus under the French flag.
being considered by the French as their prizes. Now he
believed that forty merchantmen had been captured by the '
French before reparation had been conceded to them by
the Portuguese Government, and these surely must be
sufficient to indemnify the French for any peculiar loss they
might have sustained. It must be recollected, that this
abstraction of the Portuguese fleet would give a palpable
advantage to one of the two parties with reference to
which both the English ar.d French Governments professed
rigid neutrality. He thought these subjects required ex-
planation from the Noble Lord.
Lord PALAIERSTON would answer the last question
of the Hon. Member first. As to the point to which that
related, he could only repeat, that according to the best
legal advice which the Government had been able to obtain
it appeared that by the law of nations the French Go-
vernment was entitled to consider those vessels as their
lawful prizes of war. He need hardly observe, therefore,
that this Government had not interfered to prevent the
French from retaining their lawful prizes. As to the first
question of the Hon. Member, he had to state, that by
accounts received from Paris and Lisbon that morning, it
was learnt that all the French fleet had left the Tagus with
the exception of a single frigate, which would remain for
the protection of the subjects of France resident in Por-
tugal. He had also to inform the Hun. Gentleman that it
did not appear from any information received by Ministers
that there was the slightest ground to enppose that any
commercial treaty had been eaterad into, or was
projected, between the French and the Portuguese Go-
vernments. The British Ambassador at Paris had heeu
informed by the French Minister, that orders had Leen sent
to the French Admiral to quit the Tesgus, and when the
despatch of the Consul-General at Lisbon left, it was un-
derstood that the fleet was under sail to return home.

Mr. ROBINSON was glad to hear what had fallen
from the Noble Lord uith regard to the suppai,ed com-
mercial negociations. As to the other paint, be was not,
of course, competent to give zr.ly opinion upon the law of
the case ; but he was sorry that the French had not imi..
tattd the example we set them when we sent a hostile fleet
into the Tagus.

The motion of Mr. COURTENAY was then agreed to.
Lord PALMERSTON moved, " That an address be pre-
sented to his Majesty for copies or extracts of communica-
tions received by his Majesty's Government from the Bri-
tish Ambassador at Paris, and from the consul-General
at Lisbon, relative to the English and French exv,eclitioas
to the Tagus."—Agreed to.
