" The various positions of Lover, Husband, and Parent, the in-
herent privileges of mankind, are frequently marred and prevented
through the follies and frailties of early indiscretions. To such, among
others, this Essay addresses itself; and by Its perusal many questions
may. be satisfactorily adjusted that admit of no appeal even to the
most confidential friend."—Stafford Gazette.
"Long experience in the treatment of a class of diseases hitherto
neglected and most Imperfectly understood by the great bulk of the
medical profession, has enabled the writer to prove that there are
concealed causes of Nervous Debility in existence, where the mere
routine practitioner would never dream of finding them; traceable
to certain habits, forming the most secret, yet deadly, and fats
springs of domestic misery, and premature mortall.y."—Wakefield

There is no title in the gift of the monarch, of the minister,
or the people, of which I should be so proud as that of the
West Riding's own.—
it is no selfish or personal victory we have ;on to-day.—
(Hear, hear.) Broad as is this r'd' I ing—multiplied as are its

interests, the efforts of our struggle over principle cannot be
confined to any new local boroughs, or any single consti-
tuency, and in its ultimate results I hope it will not be con-
fined to any natim, or to any quarter or the globe, but that.
they will extend to the utmost limits of the round globe on
which we live.—(Hear, hear.) 1 hope the shout of our
triumph will spread over the broad fields of England—find
an echo within the walls of the Imperial Legislature, and be
stamped, and ratified, and blessed to all future time in the
confirmed intercourse and increased plenty of nations. You.
see, gentlemen, I do not lightly estimate the efforts you have
made—the front. you have shown, and the hearty goodwill
with which you have silenced at once the hiss of monopoly,
the firm tread with which von have planted the glorious
banner of free trade ; and I -hope, whenever we meet again,
it will be to congratulate each other on our consummate
triumph. I have now, gentlemen, after the singular patience
and indulgence with which you have already heard me, no
' longer to trespass on your kind attention—that attention to
which I never yet appealed in vain—that kindness which did.
not fail me even in the moment of defeat, and which I re-
joice to see renewed and accumulated in the glorious shout of
our finished victory.— (Cheers.)
Three cheers were then given fur the League. for Lead
Morpeth, and for the Queen.
Mr. CHARLES WOOD, M.P., moved a vote of thanks to

the proceedings terminated, and the crowd slowly dis-
persed.
The friends of Lord Morpeth, to the number of nearly MO,
afterwards sat down to an excellent lunch in the Corn Ex-
change Rooms. His Lordship was present.

RAILWAY COMMITTEES.

Sub-Committee No. 1.
This Committee re-assembled at the usual hour yesterday
morning, Mr. Strntt in the chair.

LONDON ./1.3713 SOVTII-WESTERN (EPSOM'
lINC it) RAILWAY.
The customary formal process of the deposit of plans,
&c., having been tendered in respect' of the project, and
duly gone through, the Committee declared that the stand- •`-''
ing orders-hild been complied with.
:LIVERPOOL, raa,:ucanssmiz, aram •
C.LISTIc ATP ON=lnacE RAILWAY.
The next line called on was that of the Liverpool, Man-
chester, and Newcastle-upon-T3-nc Railway' which was op-
paced by several landowners, who complained of defects in
the deposited plans and sections.
The tint allegation of one of the petitioners complained of
deficient measurement on one portion of the line.
The agent for the Bill demanded that before the Com-
mittee entertained this allegation and the other allegations of
the petitioner, proof should be adduced that the petitioner
was owner the of the land, or had the consent of the owner
of the land, upon which the omissions occurred, to proceed
with the opposition.
The agent for the petitioner protested that such proof was
qui:e,unnecessary ; and the Committee deciding that it was
contrary to the spirit of the standing orders to require such
proof, the allegation was proceeded with, and successfully
sustained.
Some other allegations of a similar character were also
made out to the satisfaction of the Committee, and it was
ultimately decided that the standing orders had not been
complied with.
VIA.NCH:ESTZR AND BIRMINGHAM
RAILWAY.
The next petition called on was that of the Manchester
and Birmingham Railway Company, for leave to bring in a
Bill authorising the construction of four important branches
from their main line. The branches were respectively desig-
nated as the Billington blanch, the Macclesfield deviation,
the Prestbury branch, and the Northwicli branch.
The customary proofs having been put in, the Committee
declared that the standing orders had been complied with.
NORTH smarronlosHima (crtunNET V.&L
LET) RAILWAY.
The Committee took the formal proofs in this line, but the
hearing of the allegations of a number of petitions opposed to
the project was postponed till to-morzow.
The Committee adjourned at Four o'clock.

The Committee re-assembled at Tarelre o'clock yesterday,
in room No. 6, Sir J. Yarde Buller, Chairman.
The Committee commenced the business of the day by
taking

,TUE NEVYThY, "arfs.UR.E.Ti.TPOINT, AND
ROssTßEvort RAILWAY.

i
The line s to be eight miles in length, and is estimated at
a cost of 82,5001.
Mr. BRTDEN appeared for the promoters. The Bill was
unopposed.
Mr. Godwin, civil engineer, was examined as to the cor-
rectness of the plans and sections.
Mr. W. N. Wallace and other gentlemen were called to
prove the deposit of the plans and books of reference with
the public officers in the respective localities of the line.
Mr. llugh Willis and others were examined as to the
validity of the contract deed.
The Committee then declared that the standing order*
had been complied wick,,.
The next case called on was

Tian AYESIIIRE AND GALLOWAY
RAILWAY.

This Bill having been part-heard yesterday was post-
' poned to hear arguments upon the contract deed.
Mr. BURKE appeared for the opponents, and argued at
some length against the validity of the deed, inasmuch as
the parties signing had not bound themselves in conformity
with the standing orders, and consequently could not be
sued upon it.
Mr. CoNNELL, for the promoters, contended that the deed
was bonafide according to the Scotch law, and the managers
could sue each other.
Mr. BUUKE would contend that, as the managers who had
bound themselves to carry out the terms of the contract deed
were themselves shareholders, they surely would not sue
themselves. Such being the case, the Committee must see
that the deed wcs wholly invalid.
Mr. CONNELL could call several emminent Scotch lawyers
to prove that the deed was strictly binding by the common
law of Scotland.
After some further arguments the room was ordered to be
cleared. _ .

Upon re-admission of the parties,
The CHAIRMAN said that the Committee, after considering
the case very carefully, had come to the opinion that the
standing orders had not been complied with, inasmuch as the
parties were not bound by the contract deed according to the
standing orders of Parliament.
There were several other allegations against the Bill, but
the opponents declined going into them, as they were satis-
fied of the last decision of the Committee being fatal to the
case.
THE IBELrAST AND COUNTY DOWN
niIXX:VITAY.

This was an unopposed
Mr. BEYDEN appeared for the promoters, and called wit-
nesses to prove the correctness of the plans, and sections, and
books of reference.
In the ease of this Bill the Committee declared the stand-
ing orders to have been complied with.
THE BLACKBURN, CHORLEY, AND &WEE.
