S Manhood approaches, the human form, A coun-
tenance, voice, and the whole intellectual character, ra-
pidly undergo a revolution. Love is the end and sum of life, creating
image after image of ideal perfection. But in the present state of
society, pure and virtuous enjoyment is often postponed and ob-
structed, till the excess of youthful impetuosity impels to a course
of wild and 'Minions indulgence, and the mind becomes painfully
harassed by alternations of fears, disgust, and passion. In this state
relief is perhaps sought from the inexperienced, perhaps from the
ignorant ; in either case at the expense of health, that being only
palliated which should have been effectually cured. Here we propose
to step in and rescue the victim of unwise indulgence from the
pangs of remorse, disappointed hope, and disease; and we pledge
ourselves to eradicate every taint of syphilitic poison. and to restore
to it.; wonted energy every relaxation of the generative economy,
whet her from this or other causes, whereby the dignity of manhood
shall have become impaired ; equally contemning unfeeling empy.
ricism, which with reckless ignorance destro3s where it should re-
store; and, on the other hand, that unworthy principte" whose
proud selfishness increases the embarrassment °tithe afflicted. All
classes of society, the Angla-Indian particulsrly, and those whose
constitutions arc enfeebled by the effects of a tropical climate, as
well as such as are about to enter intmatrimonial life, are included
in the limits of this address, and to all we confidently offer the
result of many years' successful practice.
Daily attendance is given for personal conrultat.olf; and immediate
answers are returned to country 'letters which must minutely de-
scribe the case, and contain a remittance for Advice and Medicine,
which can be forwarded to any part of the world however distant.—
No difficulty can occur, as the Medicine will ;be securely packed, and
earellilly protected frosn observation.

PUBLIC NOTIFICATION.

31ESSRS. SLOAN and CO., Members of
the Royal College of Surgeons, 4, ARGYLL-PLACE,
REGENT-STREET, and 28, IRONMONGER-LANE,
CIIEAPSIDE, may be consulted from Eight o'Clock in the
Morning until Ten at Night, on every variety and stage of
Syphilis, with that delicacy and secresy they have hitherto ob-
served. The treatment they pursue will not subject any patient
to confirivreent or hindrance from business. Cases of an ex-
treme nature they eradicate in eight. or ten days, or if slight or
recent in two or three, without the indiscriminate use of mer-
cury, and at a moderate expense. Generative debility,
Gonorrhoea, and Strictures of the Urethra, unhappily so preva-
lent, are treated upon these unerring principles which have in-
sured to Messrs. Sloan and Co. so large a share of public pa-
tronage for nearly thirty years in London, and which it will be
their future exertion to maintain.
Letters, containing an enclosure, will be answered by return
and patients, however distant, will be corresponded with until
recovered.

BELGIUM.

BRUSIIELS, JAN. B.—The following news is given in a
private letter t,) the Independent, dated Vienna, Dec. 31 :
" I hasten to transmit to you the important news which
we have received i ere.

" All is finished at Constantinople. The misunderstand-
ing which arose after the conc:usion of the convention
between Commodore Napier and Mehemet Ali has ceased.
Mehemet Ali has obtained the hereditary possession of
the Pachalic of Egypt. This is a positive fact. The de-
eision of the Divan seems to have been made on the 17th
of December. 1 have not been able to obtain the precise
date, but the decision is irrevocably taken.
" The concession of the hereditary possession has been
made en the earnest representation of the Four Powers.
Their conduct on this occasion proves the good faith of the
Cabinet, and of their desire not to humble France.
" 1 have not time to add a word more."

His Majesty the King of the Belgians has just addressed
• very gracious autograph to his Excellency Count de
Munch Bellingbausen, President of the Diet of the Ger-
man Confederation, conferring on him the Grand Cordon
of the Order of Leopold.
The Government has just communicated the following
orformation to the Chamber of Commerce of the kingdom :
" As a preliminary to the conclusion of a definitive con-
veotion beriveen Belgium and Austria, the Government
of the latter has given the necessary orders that Belgian
Wits shall be treated in the parts of the empire, with
respect to the navigation duties of ev-ry kind, on tho Barre
footing as the ships of the most favoured nations, which is
tquivalent to a full and entire assimilation with the na-
tional flag.'
BaussaLs, JAN. 9.-The King gave an audience the
day before yesterday to the Cardinal Archbishop of Malinea.
We hear that Count Crotti de Costigliote, son-in-law
of Count de Mercy Argentesu will shortly arrive here as
Charge d'Affaires of Sardinia at the Court of the King
of the Belgians. The Count, who is of an ancient family
of Savoy, was attached to the Sardinian Legation at Paris.

MAIDSTONE, JAN. 9.—At the Borough Ses-
sions, which tcok place here yesterday, before Mr. David
Pollock, the Recorder, a degree of excitement was exhi.
bited that has not been equalled for many years. Every
corner of the hall was densely crowded, and the Counsel
and Grand .I,try were not able to pass in. and out without
the mot strenuous efforts of the police. The cause of
ilia feeling of anxiety arose from its being known that
Thomas Piety, a wholesale file vendor in the Maidstone
market, and Thomas Gibbon, well known as a coach guard,
acre to be tried for felony. The trial lasted throughout
tho day, and the Jury, at half-past seven o'clock, returned
a verdict of Guilty against Piety, and Not Guilty against
Gibbon. At the request of Sir W. Riddell, the Learned
Recorder asked the Jury upon what grounds they acquitted
Gibbon, and the Foreman said in consequence of there
being no proof of his having had possession of the stolen
property.).e The Court deferred passing sentence upon

HIGII COURT OF JUSTICIARY.

fiDINBURGIT, FRIDAY, JANUARY 8.
Alexander M'Ra or M'Rae, charged with assaulting
and ravishing May or Marjory M'lntosh, daughter of
Donald M'lntosh, lock-keeper on the Caledonian Canal
on the 28th of August, 1840, at or near the Dackgarroch
Loch, on the Caledonian Canal, in the county of Inver-
ness, pleaded not guilty. The Court was occupied with
this case with closed doors till a late hour, and the Jury
returned a verdict unanimously finding the pannel guilty
as libelled.

Lord Meadowbank, the presiding Judge, then put or,
the black cap, and addressed the prisoner—Alexandei
M.Ra or M'ltae, you have had an opportunity ot hearing
the opinion 1 had formed from the evidence that has been
to-day adduced aguinst you, and the very admirabh.
manner in which your case was defended by the
able counsel you employed ; who, however, foam,
that without a foundation to rest upon, all his
ability, knowledge, and learning could not sav,
you. The evidence was clear and conclusive, leaving no
a doubt upon the minds of the Jury_oor, I am sure, a
doubt upon the minds of any who have heard and attende,
to it—of the atrocious gwlt you had contracted on thin de-
plorable occasion. The crime you have qouunitted infet,
the punishment of death; and it is my most painful dut:
to announce to you the dread sentence which the !tv,v pro
nounces in your case. That sentence gives you but av: r;
short time to live; and let me urge and entreat you to be
stow it repenting of this and all other crimes of which you
may be guilty. It is but a very short period indeed, anc
let me entreat you not to waste it in thinking of the charier
or possibility that the law will not be permitted to talie its
course. The Jury have not recommended you to mercy, and
it is proper in me to tell you that I have not seen the vestige
a ground upon which such a recommemiation could hav,abo.en
ovcn. I,t these circurnAances, you must prepare for e
Er more dread judgment-seat than that at which you at
present stand—you must prepare to appear before the
throne of Altnighty God, there to answer for all the crimes
you have done in the body. Let me recommend you to
apply to the ministers of the Gospel, who, I am sure, if you
Ito not know your duty, will teach you it. The semene-
of the law is —that you be carried from this bar to the pri-
son of Edinburgh, and be forthwith transmitted, under a
sure guard, to the prison of Inverness, therein to be de-
tained till the 2.9;.h of January current, and to be tsken,
bytween the hours of 8 and 10 forenoon, to the common
is to of execution of that borough, or such other place ca
the Magistrates may appoint, aid to hang on the gibbet
till you are dead; and may Aim;ghty God have mercy
on your soul.
The prisoner was then taken from the bar.

MARyLEBONE.

Joe Hallinghani, a lad of 11, was charged by Mr.
Joseph Tasher, a gentleman residing at No. 3, York-
buildings, New-road, with robbery upon several occa-
sions, but particularly on Saturday last, of the sum of
twenty-five shillings, or, as Mr. Tasher expressed it,
five dollars. Mr. Tasher stated that the money was
placed by him on Saturday in a bureau in his sitting-
room, and missing it on Sunday, and on several occasions
having experienced like losses, he called up the boy
Joseph Hallingliain, the son of his landlord, and
charged him with the theft. Joseph strenuously denied
the fact, but subsequently, on threats and promises
being held out to him, confessed, first to his mother and
then to witness, that he bad stolen the money. Two
five-shilling pieces and some halfpence were found under
the mat at the foot of the stairs, which, as the boy
stated, he placed there before he went up to speak to
witness. The father and mother of the boy could do
nothing with him, and it was their wish that he should
be punished.

Mr. HARDWICK (to boy)—How old are you ?
Eleven, Sir.

What did you take the money for P—To spend it,
Sir.

On whom ?—On myself, Sir.
Have you no companions?—None, Sir.
What did you spend it in ?-0n a cab, Sir.
On a cab ! what, all P—l drove round Regent's-park,
Sir, on Friday, and that was five shillings.
And what did you do with the rest drove to
Kensington, and that was two-and sixpence.
But did you spend none afterwards—there is more to
account for ?—Yes, Sir, on Sunday.
Oa what ?—On a cab, Sir.—(Laughter.)
I,N/here was that P—l drove along Oxford-street, and
that was three shillings, and a shilling on fruit.
In answer to further questions, he declared that he
had no associates—that he had stolen money from Mr.
Tasher on four previous occasions, and had generally
spent it in the same manner. He went to school, and
knew that it was wicked to steal.

Mr. HARDWICK—WeII, if you go on in this way,
you will be hanged. You must be tent to prison, put
in a dungeon, fed on bread and water, and whipped ;
and if you will not give these courses over, you will un-
doubtedly be hanged. 'Fake him away. You must be
whipped and locked up in a dungeon.
The boy left the bar perfectly unmoved, a deport..
ment he retained during the whole of the period he
stood before it.

one who, from his high family connections, fortune, atld

" lions" of the day. Upon his release from prison upon
the Wigan affair, a Queen's Bench warrant was issued
for his re-apprehension upon the deposition made be-
fore the Visiting Magistrates by Atkinson, the person(
whom Captain Plunkett had assaulted. Upon this he
was apprehended, and held to bail in I,oool.—himself

twelve and one o'clock he entered the Court, accom-
panied by his friends and Mr. Armstrong, of Preston,
his professional adviser. lie was most fashionably at-
tired, and his appearance and soldicr.lik© bearing boon
created considerable interest amongst those present in
his behalf. He took his seat by the side of his friends
in one of the inner circles appropriated for the barristers,
and sat during the hearing of the proceedings. Mr.
Wilkins was retained for the defence, and Mr. Huiton
for the prosecution.

Ou the Clerk of the Court reading the indictment,
he defendant pleaded guilty to it.

as he was leaving Somerset-house he met with the pri-
soner, who asked him for some rebel. He gave hies

refreshment, and in the evening requested him to• be
kind enough to lead him to some place where he co,Ald
stay for the night, and where his person ant! property
would be safe. The accused led him to a house, which
he supposed to be of a respectable description, and
After giving him a further sum of 25., and treating the
;:pates of the house, he retired to rest. On his awaking
in the cam: ping he found that he was pennyless, and had
nothing but his zhirt leT, to cover him, and in thi:3 con-
litien he must have yerrnioed had he not been able to
make some one bear fro:at his bud-ream window, which
occasioned Restieux, a po:iceanan of the E division, to
go to his aid. That officer having obtained him awns
apparel, led him in search of the prisoner, whom, in the
course of three hours, they found in a public-house in
St. Giles's.
The MAGISTRATE complimented Restieux, and com-
mitted the prisoner to Nerigate for trial.

SUMMARY OF NEWS

AND

9pubitt 14: pinion,

" Who runs may read."

FOREIGN.
Canton was taken by the British forces on the 27th of
May. The details are too interesting to be abridged,
and we therefore•refer the reader to the official accounts
given at length in The Sun.
The intelligence from the Continent is destitute of in-
terest, with the exception of the following from the Paris
paper, the illessager—to which we attach little credit:—
" The Captain-General O'Donnell, at the head of two
battalions of Navarre, has taken the citadel of Pain-
peluna. This coup de wain has been effected in the name
of the Queen Regent Christina." Upon this news being
known in Paris, the Spanish Funds fell about on:: per cent.

PATENT WATER MILL.

It: gives us greet p!easure to turn a lit:le from the
jarring of politics to note the progress of sole 're in our
own localities. Hiving seen several accounts from time
to time of, the pate :t water mil!, invented by Mr.
Whitelaw, of Glosgow, we had the curiosity a few days
ago; of visitZvag the Culereuch Cotton Works, Stirling-
shire • where one of the patent water machines has re-
cently' . been erected. The Culereuch Works are six
Stories in jacight, nearly 200 feet long, and 38 feet
wide they contain above 20,000 mule spindles
--,several hundred throstle spindles—w:th other
machinery requisite for such works. Hitherto,
and for many years, the works were props lied by
two huge water wheels, upwards of thirty. feet
each in diameter, one five feet in breadth, the
other twelve feet in breadth. These wheels made about
faqir revo!utiens per minute; they were supposed equal
to about sixty-horse-power, and were fitted up at an
expense perhaps of not less than 2,0001.; whereas the
patent machine now in their place is only about nine
feet in diameter, yet it is equal to ninety-five horse-
power, and gives sixty revolutions per minute, and
the entire expense of fitting it up is only about 600/.1
On looking at it revolving at the bottom of the pit in
which the supply of water enters, the first impulse is that
of astonishment, that such a machine, in the small com-
pass comparatively in which it is placed, possesses such
gigantic aad unerring power. The machine itself re-
sembles a large.bodied (CA snake, coiled up and making
its angry circumlocutory gyrations in a boiling surf, yet
it is attended with the most complete safety to the vast
work which it wields, and the persons of those con-
nected with it.
We are convinced that this is one of the most re-
markable improvements ever made in the application of
water as a moving power. It has astonished the natives
of Culcreueh. It may well astonish scientific men. Per-
haps we may he pardoned for giving the following anec-
dote about it. The proprietors at Culcreuch arc, it seems
teetotallers. When the machine was first erected, the
workers at the mill, in obedience to the wishes of the
manager, resolved to christen it by the name of a certain
fair lady in the neighbourhood; but the allowance of a
bottleofwhiskey being withheld for that purpose, an Irish
girl at the work bad the wit and the courage to say 4
" Well, since they won't give us the whisky, we shan't
take the name of the lady, but we will call it Father
Mathew—the great apostle of temperance and water
drinking ;" and by the name of Father Mathew this
wonderful machine at Culereuch now goes. Success
