HOOPER, MAYOI.
ACOMMON COUNCIL, holden in the Chamber
of the Guildhall of the City of London, on Friday, the 25th
day of February, 1848.
Resolved unanimously,—
That this Court have observed with surprise and dismay that her
• Majesty's Mlnistershave made a proposition to renew the income-
tax for a period of five years, and to increase Unsaid tax fora period
of not less than two Sears, from sevenpence to one shilling in the
• Pound ; that a tax on income Is unjust in principle, and was sub-
mitted to in the first instance on the distinct understanding that it
len for a temporary purpose, and for a limited period only; that it
la unjust to levy the same amount of tax on precarious and uncertain
incomes arising from trades and professions, as from landed, funded,
• or ether accumulated property.
That it is thus made a direct tax on the industry and skill of those
engaged in trade or professional pursuits, and Imposes on them an
unfair proportion of the public burdens; that this Court do not hesi-
tate to declare that if the Honourable House of Commons should
agree to perpetuate this system of taxation, it will no longer deserve
the confidence of the people of the United Kingdom.
That amid unprecedented commercial difficulties, and with -trade
;Mt manufactures in a state of most extreme depression, any in-
crease in the taxatfon of the country would be impolitic, acid that
the inquisitorial character of en income-tax renders it at all times
peculiarly obnoxious.
That this Court are of opinion, and submit that it is the duty of
the Honourable the House of Commons, to limit the expendi-
ture for the public service to the sums already accruing from the
ordinary sources of taxation.
That the liotioarable the House of Commons should not anticipate
by lavish expenditure a revenue to be raised by additional burdens;
and this Court regard with the most serious apprehension the an-
nuallJ,increase.l expe ,diture for the public service, and submit to
the klouourahlc the House of Commons the necessity of a strict
revision of our unjust and uacqual system of taxation.
ItesolvetiN n animously,—
That the thanks of thii Court be presented to the Right Hon. the
Lord Mayor for the handsome and prompt manner in which his
Lorlship acceded to the wishes of the members convening this
Court. AIERENETHER.

it nays be really the cause of mutual happiness. Could the
Veil, which covers the origin of domestic wretchedness, be raised,
"d, tta true source in every instance disclosed, in how many could
1140 traced to physical disqualifications and their attendant disap-
Pointments. Excesses are always injurious ; the gift, which when
Used in moderation is fraught with advantage, becomes, when
taUu'ed. the prolific source of mischief and of greater or less injury
0 the constitutional and vital powers. The particular excesses. on
ale nature and consequence of which this Treatise professes to dilate,
are 0 Productive of greater severity of misery to the human frame,
an any other to which it is subject.
This Work contains an accurate and complete account of the
anatomy and Physiology of the Reproductive Organs, and of
eir relative conditions in health and disease. It deservedly
tequires the closest attention and study, for what subject can
u,...0f more importance than the preservation e the health,
abC the physical capabilities of which every man should
e ,sasessed. It unfortunately happens that the unhappy
letiss„rn of excessive indulgence and vicious habits, whether acquired
early lifs or front the follies of advanced age, while suffering
front their invariable consequences, unwisely entertains a fear of ap-
;.';ying to qualified physician for relief. Shame and the dread so
erluentlY, but erroneously entertained that these complaints are
be YOnd the reach of art, alike restrict him and prevent his seeking
for assistance where alone it can be procured. In acting thus, he
forgetsd that accurate discrimination in ascertaining the causes of
disease sympathy with the sufferer, and, above all, secrecy, inva-
ris'y,

'edieal man who can show by his possession of the requisite legal
ralifloations that ho is entitled to esteem and respect In his proles-
Lu,Tll pnrsults, the utmost confidence should be extended. Dr.
e MERT has obtained the highest medical honours, as his diplomas

for his professional experience, which has reference almost
wn_lY to the treatment of these diseases.
