ANOTHER ENLARGEMENT.
OF THE •
WEEKLY DISPATCH
This Journal at present the largest in existence—un-
rivalled for its early intelligence and uncompromising advocacy of
the Rights of Mankind—will be
ENLARGED,
On and after SUNDAY, the 7th of JANUARY, 1849, to
SIXTEEN PAGES,
CONTAINING
SIXTY-FOUR COLUMNS,
OF THE
SAME SIZE AND FORM AS AT PRESENT, WITHOUT
ANY EXTRA CHARGE
By its zeal in the cause of progress, and its staunch de,otion to
the interests of the People, the DISPATCH has become a terror to
the upholder of abuses, and a powerful auxiliary on behalf of the
oppressed, whose wrongs will always meet with sympathy and
xposure.
Encouraged by their success, and anxious to extend the svhere of
their Political Influence and Social Utility, the Proprietors have re-
solved on the proposed Enlargement of the DISPATCH, which here-
after will answer the purpose of
FOUR NEWSPAPERS,
and thus accommodate four readers at one and the same time.
The columns of the DISPATCH will still continue to be enriched
by the powerful contributions of
" PUBLICOLA.," " C AUSTIC," " CENSORIUS," ELIZA. COOK,
and other writers eminently distinguished for their literary attain-
ments, and wh3se opinions have ever advocated the cause of the
People, in opposition to tyranny and injustice. It may also be ob-
served, that the POOR MAN will always receive LEGAL ADVICE
and assistance, as heretofore, from the DISPATCH.
A beautiful New Type has been cast, on which the DISPATCH

111 next year be printed.
Advertisers are respectfully requested to forward their Advertise-
ment's en or before Friday Afternoon, otherwise no attention can be
?aid to them for the current number.
An Edition of the DISPATCH is published at 'Five o'Clock every
Saturday morning, for transmission by the First Train and Morning
Mails, so that persons residing in towns 250 miles from London may
receive it the same evening.
An EXPRESS EDITION of the DISPATCH is published every
SUNDAY AFTERNOON-, containing news direct from Paris,
and ether parts of the Continent, up to eight o'clock on Saturday
Evening
To prevent disappointment, orders should be given early to Mr.
RICHARD WOOD, 139, Fleet-street, London, to whom Post-office
Orders may be made payable, or to any of the Newsvenders, in town

CORNIIILL.
The NICOLL.—This is the Trade Mark and distinctive Title
given to a Patented OUTER COAT, or PALETOT, in which there
is a double use and purpose ; in other words, the same garment can
be used as a warns Winter Outer Coat, and again converted into a
light Walking Paletot, by simply removing a warm interlining,
which is attached or detached easily, and in a manner most novel
and ingenious.
The NICOLL, or the Two Garments (above-mentioned) incor-
porated in One, is charged at the moderate price of Three Guineas.
Indeed, if the contemplated Sale of Thousands be not effected, the
Patentees will lose rather than be fairly remunerated by the low
prices now quoted.
Messrs. NICOLL are the Originators and Sole Proprietors of the
deservedly well-known REGISTERED PALETOT (6 and 7 Vie.
cap. 65) of Llama Cloth, and they continue to be honoured with the
patronage of their Royal Highnesses Prince Albert, Prince George of
Cambridge, Prince Edward of Saxe-Weimar, his Grace the Duke of
Wellington, and all others distinguished in rank and fashion, the
Court, the Pulpit, and the Bar.
MEMBERS of the CLERICAL, LEGAL, LITERARY, and
MEDICAL PROFESSIONS will, it Is presumed, readily concede
their patr-nage upon this New and Patented Invention, as also
Merchants and Railway Travellers, who are subject to colds, &c.,
arising from the fluctuations in a climate like that of Great Britain,
where, even in the most settled weather, at this season, a warm coat
is universally used during mornings and evenings, but at mid-day,
from the active habits and avocations of all classes, a light 'Walking
Paletot is indispensable.
RAILWAY TRAVELLERS will find great convenience in its
Pocket Protector, which effectually preserves from loss the railway
ticket, loose cash, &c., besides a peculiar comfort for Night Travel-
ling, which must be seen and worn to he appreciated.
The Country Agents for the New Patents are the same highly re-
spectable firms who have of late years held the appointments direct
from the Patentees in London.
CAUTION.—The NICOLL —Any person or persons using the
same, or a similar title, or trade mark, whereby the Public may be
deceived, will be proceeded against, as by injunction of the lligh
Court of Chancery, &c. ; as also by the infringement of the principle
claimed in the Royal Letters Patent, granted to the un lersigned,
which mainly consists in the adaptation of the linings of Coats,
Paletots, &c., to a separate use and purpose, &c.

L 0 V E is the leading feeling of the human
breast. Mere exalted than mere passion, it sears high above
every other impulse of nature, and is not only stronger than avarice,
but more engrossing even than ambition. No man is exempt from
its influence, or can avoid its sway ; and business, pleasure, philo-
sophy, and divinity itself become neglected under the enthralling
power of LOVE, which, unlike meat things, increases in intensity
with time, until it receives the sacred consummation of marriage.
When union does not take place, however, this passion, this
'ervour, this golden tide of the manliest feelings becomes a deadly
poison in the heart, which now darkens, as it before bright-
ened, all things upon earth. How is it that men, of most un-
changeable habits, will change at the very altar, and after a life-
time spent in the fulfilmem of every engagement, snap the very con-
tract asunder which should be most binding to an honourable mind?
It is the effect of conscience. The Lover, by enervation of early
habits, or the results of secret disease, knows himself to be
disqualified, and dares not enter a state which has been
iLstitutel by Divine Law for the fulfilment of Important
ends. The wretched condition of such a being must subsequently be
beyond measure deplorable ! Loving and beloved, he entails the
most miserable disappointments on the object of his choice, and upon
himself a desolation the most horrible, when the simple possession of
natural attributes would change the scene, and yield to both a life of
unalloyed happiness. The subject is interesting, and deserves the
attention of all. Those desirous of investigating it will find the
fullest and most satisfactory information in the little work entitled
SELF-PRESERVATION.
illustrated by forty coloured engravings on the anatomy, physiology,
and diseases of the reproductive organs ; with practical observa-
ions on the secret infirmities of youth and maturity, resulting from
Solitary habits, excesses, or infection.

This treatise is the result of a long course of study in a peculiar and
much neglected branch of medical practice, and the author having ob-
tained the highest medical honours, is a guarantee for his profes-
sional experience, which has reference almost solely to the treat-
ment of these diseases.
REVIEW OF THZ WORK.
La'Mert on the Infirmities of Touth and Maturity.—" There are
scenes in the drama of life which are acted with ne spectator but
conscience ; and of these the result is ever disastrous. Happy the
mortal who meets with a timely mentor to snatch him from the gulf
Into which such scenes must plunge him ! In the book before ns
such a monitor is to be found, calculated to warn and instruct the
erring, without impairing one idea that can vitiate a mind not al-
ready tutored by the vices of which it treats. It is written in a style
of masterly precision and lucidity, blending the profoundest truths of
philosophy and physics with the loftiest precepts of morality. It is a
production calculated to confer a vital benefit, physically and morally,
upon all who are tempted from the rigid path of abstemiousness and
propriety. A father may trust it in the hands of his boy. By tun
taught innocence the book is not, of course, needed ; tilt wherever
laxity has prevailed, the tender yet awful voice breathing in these
pages is likely to prove as strikingly beneficial as the admonitions of
, a homily blended with the practical advice of a writer on medicine."

In the present eventful state of Ireland, the Committee of
the Irish Society of London would call the attention of the
public to the beneficial results of the Society's labours in that
country, and would earnestly appeal for increased support, to
carry out the-objects which it has in view ; and while they by
no means undervalue the efforts which are being made, whether
by legislation or by private enterprise, to improve the temporal
condition of Ireland, the Committee feel convinced, from much ex-
perience, that all the renterlieriproposed must prove unavailing, un-
less, at the same time, measures are taken to elevate the moral
character of the Irish peasantry by means of religious instruction.
The Irish Society labours in the native districts, where upwards of
3,000,000 of the population speak the Irish language.
There are now 800 teachers connected with it, who instruct the
native Irish in reading the Word of God. Since the commencement
300,000 individuals, chiefly adults, have thus been taught to read the
Scriptures, many of whom embraced the Protestant faith.
One hundred and eight Scripture readers are employed, who read
the Irish Bibles in the cabins, or to groups of the peasantry at work
in their fields, or by the road side.
Seven Irish-sneaking clergymen are in connexion with the Society
who read the Liturgy, and preach the Gospel in thenative language.
Ten congregations of converts have been raised up, or are now
ministered to through the instrumentality of the Society. Two of
these are in the county of Galway, two in the county of Cork, and
six in Kerry.
Many Roman Catholics, not included in those distinct congrega-
tions, have been brought, through the blessing of Almighty God
upon the Society's labours, to renounce the errors of Rome, and are
now incorporated with old Protestant congregations.
Some groups of converts who have been instructed by the Society
are asking for Irish clergymen to be located amongst them.
In various places crowds of Roman Catholics attend Protestant
churches and school-houses, where an Irish-speaking clergyman has
been announced to preach. One clergyman states :
" In the Cathedral of I -preached on Wednesday evening.
The church was filled, the Roman Catholics standing up to the
reading-desk, and outside the doors. At D—, on Sunday night,
there, had we a place large enough, we might have had many hun-
dreds of Romanists ; as it was, we had a goodly number, and those
who were obliged to stand outside the window occasionally requested
thAatnlotwheorulwd spriteesaup, so as side
the
hear."
" I had a most interesting tour through the C— Irish districts.
I preached 20 sermons, in Irish, to over 2,000 in all. I may count
that 1,000 were converts, 500 Romanists, and 500 old Protestants.
One poor man, who was not hearing me, heard so much about the
sermon from others, that he said lie would come to hear the next
sermon, if the priest would roast him in the fire for it. 31any a
poor creature from the heart said, 0, when will yen cone again
sir ? Alas that we hav'nt an Irish ministry.'"
Such are some of the results of the Society's proceedings ; but the
committee would allude to one more, of considerable importance at
the present time, and that is, that wherever the native Irish have
been instructed by the Society, they have become loyal subjects of
our Queen, and abstain from all connexion with the treasonable
practices and illegal associations which are so hostile to the peace
and prosperity of the kingdom.
The Committee have made diligent inquiries upon this subject, and
the replies to their inquiries have been highly satisfactory. The
followiag are extracts from one letter out of upwards of twenty of
the same character received by the Committee :
" I affirm it as a fact that could not be contradicted, that out of
the thousands in Ireland connected with the Irish Society, that none
of them are connected with illegal associations, or with that dan-
gerous agitation now so formidable, and hostile to Ireland's
best interests. Our teachers and pupils are almost entirely friendly
to British connexion ; they have felt Rome's spiritual tyranny, and
they believe, if the union with Great Britain were dissolved,
that both spiritual and political ',tyranny would become intolerable."
And there are not a few instances of members of Ribbon or other
illegal associations having been converted through the instrumen-
tality of the Society, and now employed in teaching their country-
men to read the Word of God.
An indvidual who lately visited a congregation of converts in one
of the wildest districts of the west, remarks :
`• When I entered the cabin, the whole congregation rose, seeing
a stranger with a Bible in his hand, and gave me a hearty wel-
come, crying out' Cead Mille Failthe," Cead Mille Failthe.' They
were orderly in their conduct, and deeply attentive to the Word of
God. I was especially pleased with the demeanour of two indivi-
duals, and not a little gratified at afterwards hearing their story.
One had been a celebrated and lawless pugilist, the other the leader
of a Ribbon Lodge, both of them daring characters in the neigh-
bourhood; but through the mercy of God they met with the teachers
of the Irish Society, they were instructed in the Scriptures, and
now, from their respectable appearance and general conduct, as
well from the change which has taken place, they might be described
in the language of inspiration, Sitting at the feet of Jesus, clothed,
and is their right mind.' One of them is the owner of the cabin
where the congregation was assembled—the other, the Scripture

whiof England, and where industry and order flourish to a remarkable
tegree. It has succeeded, under the blessing of the Most High, in
hose native districts and localities where the inhabitants have been
instructed by the teachers of the Irish Society, in which crime, sedi-
tion, and animosity have givels place to peace, to loyalty, and goodwill.
And why should it not eucceell upon a greatly extended scale? It
is a measure whiCh the Committee believe Ged will honour—that
God will surely bless. There is a promise which they would desire
to remember, and in humble reliance upon which they carry on the
work committed to their charge—" My word. •.. shall not retnrn
ante me void ; but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it
shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.'
That " word" when blessed by God the Spirit, will teach .even the
most deluded of the Irish peasants to " submit to every ordinance of
man for the Lord's sake."
It will inculcate industrious habits—'

"if any would not work,

neither should he cat."
It will produce a respect fer life and property, and thus give an
opportunity fer the introduction Af capital, and the employment
stead of
of
the people at home, enabling them to supporttheraselves,
being a burden to others.
It will be the sure remedy for treason and rebellion—" Fear God
—honour the king—and meddle not with them that are given to
change."
