The following are a few of the numerous testimonials this
popular work has received, and which the limits of an adver-
tisement will only allow of being published:—
The rage for books in all departments of Science, literature,
and the arts, was, we believe, never so prevalent as at the pre-
sent time. The unavoidable consequence of this is, that we
meet-a-very considerable proportion of indifferent, weir., and
even bad books. With the force of thin prejudice on our
minds, we with no little reluctance were induced to peruse
Messrs. Curtis's work, entitled "Manhood ;" nor did it re-
quire much perusal fully to satisfy us that the book was not
one of the common stamp. The scientific views taken by the
authors of the source and origin ef many of the most distressing
effects of certain depraved habits, fully establish their claim to
the character of experienced and judicious surgeons. To
quote passages from the work ia preof of our assertion would
be departing from the established rules of the daily pre;. The
result, however, of our careful perusal of the work, has been
to impress us with a thorough confidence in the talent and
skill of the authors, and to satisfy us that thwe entrusted with
the care of youth are not a little indebted to them for fur-
nishing them with a means of preventing some of the most
frightful maladies to which flesh is heir.—Old England.
Messrs. Curtis's work, entitled "Manhood," is one of the
few books now coming befor the public on such a subject which
can lay claim to tke character of being rrictly professional, at
the same time that it is fully intelligible to all who read it.
The moral and medical precepts given in it, render it invalu-
able:—Magnet.

The perusal of Messrs. Curtis's book entitled " Manhood,"
has really astonished us by developing aseries of maladies, the
never-failing consequence of the vicious habit of which it
treats. The clear connexion pointed out between the assigned
cause and the effects is perceptible to every capacity. We
strongly recommend the work.--Age.
The multitude of books daily coming from the press, some,
nay most of them, of a very questionable tendency, made us ex-
tremely reluctant to take up another. Having, however, been
induced by the character given of this work by an intelligent
friend, we ventured to open its pages, and now feel no hesita-
tion in saving that we arise from its perusal instructed and
edified. The clear exposition of the source of many of those
diseases which proves so fatal to youth, and which are set
down by the every-day observer as the result of common
causes, such as exposure to cold, sudden vicissitudes of tempe-
rature, hereditary taint, &c., is truly convincing and extre-
mely satisfactory. We say satisfactory," inasmueh as Messrs.
Curtis have shown that many diseases, such as Pulmonary
Consumption, Epilepsy, &c., hitherto the opprobria of medi-
cine, may, when taken in proper time, and suhmittsd to judi-
cious treatment, be brought to as favourable a termination
as an other class of affsctions. We do not think we go too
far in saying that society is deeply indebted to the. authors for
producing so useful, so much wanted, so valuable, and so truly
moral a book —Conservative Journal.
We recommend 'the work entitled " Manhood,' BSc., to the
careful perusal of persons of all classes. The mcral as well as
physical advantages sure to result from such perusal, will be
most readily recognised and felt by those who stand most in
need of them.—Statesman.

STATE OF TRADE:
(From the Manchester Guardian of Tuesday.)
MANCHESTER.—TiIere was an exceedingly dull and
inanimate market yesterday, both for yams and goods;
notwithstanding the gradual advance in cotton at Liver-
pool. There was no alteration in the prices of yarn ;
but most descriptions of goods continue to decline, and
sales are made at prices never before heard of.
ROCHDALE FLANNEL MARKET, MONDAY, OCT. 18.
—The market has been well attended to-day, and the
dem.ind for flannels quite equal to that of last Monday ;
but the:e has been no alteration in the prices. The
wool market has been rather duller, and prices may be
quat-d a shale lower.

- HUDDERSFIELD MARKET, OCTOBER 19.—This was
t withgen America
erally'
and
arisin
the unfavourable gmainly from our uneer-
taliflaiiremlaatrkes
ion aspect
of affairs in many parts of the world. Buyers are at
a loss how to act, mid the manufacturers are equally
cautious in producing, 'consequently stocks are small and
prices firm. New choice fabrics in small parcels were
bought freely; but the general trade was below an ave-
rage. Business in the warehouses is better than ex-
pected amidst so many causes of depression.

It is thought that General Requena, Norzagary, Tul-
gozir, and others, under trial on the Bth, would be shot.
General Borso was brought to Saragossa and condemned
to be shot.

The Memorial of Pan, quoting advices from Madrid, of
the 7th inst., states that the Count de Requena, Briga-
diers Quiroga, Norzagary, and Frias, and 100 other per-
sons, have been arrested. General Borso di Carminati
has been taken to Saragossa. A court-martial was held
upon Sim in the prison, anti he was shot on the 11th.
The following from Barcelona, of the 10th inst., is
given by the Debuts
Our Exaltados, though in a minority, show so lunch
audacity and violence, that our civil and military
authorities know not how to resist them. The
National Guard has been under arms for the last
three days, parading the streets and singing Riego's
hymn. This National Guard was disbanded after the
occurrences of September, and, in the place of Mode-
rados, who were men of family and fortune, was recom-
posed of a large number of the people who were armed
and clothed by the Ayuntamiento out of forced contri
butions. This National Guard, amounting to 14,000
men, is now master of the town. It insists upon the
destruction of the citadel, and dictates to the popular
authorities proscriptions against the most distinguished
citizens. Last night a Moderado was assassinated, and
a list of 380 persons destined to become the victims of
this revolutionary reaction is now openly circulated.
No one conceives himself to be in safety, and emigration
has become general.. The French brigs of war, Sur-
prise and Argus, having been recalled to France, the
two French ships that remain are not enough to afford
an asylum to the refugees who flock to them.
The Spanish steamer Mercurio, which left Cadiz on
the Ist, and Barcelona on the 11th inst., arrived at Mar-
seilles on the 13th. It appears from the accounts brought
by this vessel that Lerida, Tarragona, and Gerona, have
declared against de Christina movement. Col. Burgues,
the Governor of the fortress of Mauntjoui at Barcelona,
has-been replaced by Lieut.-Colonel Echalcen, a decided
Exaltado; and Colonel Pujol had been sent to replace
the Governor of the Seu d'Urgel. Barcelona was in a
state of great agitation. The wife of Espartero was at
Malaga, where she had received great attentions from the
population. Nothing was, known from Valencia further
than that it was in a state of great excitement.
Don Francisco de Paula arrived at Canfranc, in Spain,
on the 1 Ith inst. His Royal Highness was received on
the Spanish frontier by the local authorities, and a de-
tachment of troops of the line.
Advices frotri Cadiz of the 30th ult., state that an ar-
ticle having appeared in the Glob:, of that city, speaking
in disparaging terms of the Duchess de la Victoria, wife
of Espartero, a party of officers went to the bureaux of
the Journal, destroyed the presses, scattered the types,
burnt some of the papers and assaulted some of the per-
sons employed. The political chief of Cadiz had pub-
lished a proclamation condemning this act of violence.
The Memorial of Pau has a letter from Bedous of the
12th inst., which says—
" A detachment of forty officers of the 2d Regiment
of the Royal Guard have just arrived. They are-under
the orders of General Latorre. The soldiers took from
them their baggage and horses near Saragossa, and on
the Spanish frontier were entirely plundered of every-
thing, and imprisoned at Etcho, though they were after-
wards released and granted passports for France. They
entered' by Lescun, and, after three days' marching,
reached Bedous, worn out by fatigue, and destitute of
shoos and almost every other clothing. They intend to
go into Navarre and take service at Pampelana, for
which place they will set out to-morrow."

We extract the following from the Pleare of Bayonne
of the 15111 inst. :

M. Narcieso Carriquiri, we are told, passed through
Bayonne yesterday, going to Paris. The Regent has re-
warded the courage of the halberdiers who defended the
Palace at Madrid with the cross of Ferdinand to each,
promotion to a higher grade, and a sum of 1,000 reals.
It is reported that General Concha has been caught at
Las Roses, three leagues from Madrid, and is in prison.
General Borso was arrested on the 10th at Borja, and
taken under an escort of National Guards to Saragossa,
where he is caufined, and will, no doubt, be immediately
brought to trial and executed. The national militia of
Tolosa have refused to do the duty which the military
authorities have wished them to undertake. They have
consequently been deprived of their arms, which
have been sent to St. Sebastian. It seems that for-
tifications are being raised at Irun. The gate at the
head of the bridge of Behobia has been re-established.
On the confines of Biscay and Castille it is reported
that on the 11th, three battalions arrived at Medina de
Pomar, and a fourth at Ona, under General Aleson,
with orders Irons the Regent to threaten Bilbao. The
following details from Pampeluna have this moment
reached us, in a letter of the 12th, the accuracy of which
we can warrant. General Ayerbe entered Pampeluna on
Tuesday morning, but the only force he had with him
was the second regiment of the Royal Guard, which had
deserted, and then as suddenly returned to its allegiance.
Most of its officers, however, have abandoned it entirely,
forty-two of them having gone into France. After an
interchange of communications between O'Donnell and
Ayerbe, the firing from the citadel suddenly ceased. The
damage done by it is certainly serious, and to be de-
plored, Lut, at the same time, much less disastrous
than we at first apprehended. On Tuesday evening
O'Donnell: came out of the citadel, with one squadron
and one battalion, and joined Ortigosa, in the
country, where he is at the head of six hundred armed
partisans. His intention is to traverse the country for
five or six days, raise and organise additional flews,
and then return into the citadel. This, in the meantime,
is left in the charge of Colonel Azcarraga, with a com-
pany of artillery, the battalion which commenced the
movement, and a company of young volunteers, belong-
ing to families of distinction at Pampeluna, On leaving
his poeition, O'Donnell assured the Captain-General
Ayerbe, that the citadel should snake no demonstration
unless his passage out was interrupted, or the town re-
commenced hostilities; but we do .not- learn whether
General Averbe subscribed to these conditions. The
steamer Is;ibella IL, after carrying troops from Santona
to Castro, left the port of Passages, on the 12th, for San-
tander, whence she will immediately proceed to the coast
of Biscay; and join in the blockade of Bilbao."

THE HUNTERS' ASSOCIATION,
NORTH AMERICA.

The following account of this Association has appear-
ed in the Chronicle, derived, it is said, from a source on
which full reliance may be placed:—
When, in 1837, a portion of the Canadian population
were driven to rebellion, not so much by the plans of
their leaden as by the energetic measures of Sir John
Colborne, which obliged them to throw off the mask, the
people of the United States were taken quite by sur-
prise. They did not expect a rebellion for at least ten
years to come. It must be a matter of astonishment
that the patriots did not look out for help from that
quarter ; but it should be understood that the antipathy
of the old French opposition in Lower Canada, with
Papincau at its head, and their American neighbours,
were infinitely greater with respect to motives, and
ideas, and feelings, then that of the loyal British to the
French disaffected Canadians. In fact, the movement
of Lower Canada, and the M'Kenzie a:tempt in Upper
Canada, were two distinct events, as far as analogy of
views is concerned. After the first surprise, the border
population began to make advances to the patriots.
Bouehette was invited to Swanton, in Vermont. A large
quantity of arms and ammunition, some cannon, and
provisions and money were delivered to him, which he
took over the line with an escort of 150 Canadians.
A Mr. Jones, a carpenter by profession, living at
Missi,quai Bay. close to the frontier, three miles from
Swanton, in great haste sent for some muskets from
Montre armed his neighbour!, formed an ambuscade,
took Bout:hate prisoner, captured his convoy, and dis-
persed the men. This Mr. Jones, is now the Captain
Jones, by whose order Colonel Grogan was arrested, as
alleged, in the American territory. After the failure of
the attempt upon Toronto by M'Kenzie, and his arrival
at Buffalo, the first open sympathising demonstration
took place at Navy Island, but till now nothing like
organization existed ; private presents and subscriptions
were the only assistance given. After the evacuation
of Nary Island and the failure of the several attempts
upon the i:lands of Lake Erie, the patriots of both
parties appeared to be entirely discouraged. Oa the
arrival of Lord Durham in Canada, by his conciliatory
policy, and his generous and nearly universal emnesty,
the rancours began entirely to disappear. But some
secret influence, some power that could be felt but not
seen, counteracted the best exertions, the most phi-
lanthropic acts, and the soundest policy of his Lord-
ship. We could write books, we could tell many a
tale, we could bring forward facts and statements of
a startling nature, if we had time, but we wish to con-
fine ourselves now to the Hunters' Association, to show
what is its organization and strength. As we do not
propose to write its history, it may be sufficient to state
that it was about this time that we can trace the begin-
ning of what afterwards was called the Hunters' Asso.
elation. Whether it originated in New York or Ver-
mont, whether the I\l'Kenzies, the Nelsons, the Coats,
were its principal founders; whether the Baron Fratte-
fin, or the Chevalier de Lorimer, were the persons at
whose suggestion it was formed, we cannot say. Nei-
ther can we say whether it originated in the spontaneous
will and wish of its founders, or whether, at the
very outset, it owes its origin to foreign influence.
In May, 1838, the first lodges were formed, and Brian
was elected one of the grand eagles for Vermont. The
object of this body will be best understood from the
form of the oath administered to its members. It is
literally this :—" I swear to do my utmost to promote
republican institutions and ideas throughout the world,
to cherish them, to defend them, and especially to de-
vote myself to the propagation, protection, and defence
of these institutions in North America. I pledge my
life, my property, and my honour to the Association. I
bind myself to its interests, and I promise, unt.l death,
that I will attack, combat, and help to destroy, by all
means that my superior may think proper, every power
or authorities of royal origin upon this continent, and
especially never to rest till the British tyrants cease to
have any possession or footing whatever in North Ame-
rica. So help me, God." The organization of the
Association is divided into three principal branches—
political, the military, and the financial ; which three
branches are again subdivided into many sections. The
classification of the members is as follows :-1. A
Grand Sasaneo, or Grand Master—(Chief President).
2. Grand Eagles—(Presidents of the different States).
3. Eagles—(Chiefs of Counties). 4. Grand Leaders—
(Chiefs of Districts). 5. Grand Hunters (Chiefs of
Townships). 6. Chief Hunters—(Chiefs of Lodges).
7. Hunters.
The Supreme Lodge can be called the Executive and
Consultative Council of the Sasanen ; but, in order to
give a correct idea of the organization of the whole,
we will carry our readers through the different ranks
and classifications. An inferior lodge is formed of
from twenty to thirty common hunters, having for a
head a chief hunter, twenty to thirty of these chief
hunters form the lodge of a grand hunter, twenty
grand hunters form the lodge of a grand leader. The
grand leaders are members of the Council of the Eagle,
whilst two or more eagles have consultative votes in
t
the direction of the Society under the grand eagle in
each State. It will be seen, that the whole,
principle of this organization, is mistrust ; io t r
must
t
be acknowledged that, if the discipline and the statutes
