On CHASTITY and its INFRINGEMENTS.
(An Essay for 1846.)
Of human Me and frailties I discourse,
Those taught by nature, and by art acquied.
Of grieth conceard, and disappointments keen,
Which young and gentle, the matured and sage,
The lonely and the mated—all sustain.
In kindly spirit, herein counsel's giv'n,
How health, how hope, how happiness to gain.*

WHAT to EAT, DRINK, and AVOID
With Diet Tables for all Complaints.
Contents :—How to ensure perfect digestion, tranquil eelings, a
good night's rest, a clear head, and a contented mind. By an ob-
servance of the instructions herein containoC the feeble, the ner-
vously delicate, even to the most shattered constitution, may acquire
the greatest amount of physical happiness, and reach in health the
full period of life allotted to man.
" How we should live—what eat, what drink, what shun,
To reach in health full threescore years and ten."
These interesting little volumes, although bearing upon subjects of
very delicate import, as their titles imply, will be found of immea-
surable and general utility, for they tell of matters everyliving crea-
ture able to understand ought to know, but which information in
these enlightened times, except that quality promulgated through
questionable channels, is at a very terrible discount.
In the exposition hereby offered of the till now hidden truths of
nature, of human disappointments and their ways of relief, it is not
contended that every reader shall become his or her own physician
any more than their own lawyer, but it is insisted upon that we
should know the simple principles of our owu organization, the laws
whereby our existence and the issue thereof in their several healthy
states depend, the duties that are expected of us in our individual
capacities in the family circle, and the terms on which the health and
happiness of the present and future race of mankind have to rely.
By such knowledge, and which is herein faithfully imparted,
health will be found to be in our own keeping, and happiness
within the attainment of all; by the availment hereof in fulfilling
our duty to ourselves, we secure the lib e advantages on our offspring
to follow, and finally by the cultivation 3f our faculties, which is in-
consistent with degenerate health, the mind as well as the body may
be exalted to the summit of perfection, as best becomes the highest

The author of this singular and talented work is a legally quail-
fled medical man, who has evidently had considerable experience in
the treatment of the various disorders arising from the follies and
frailties of early indiscretion. The engravings are an invaluable ad-
dition, by demonstrating the consequences of excesses, which must
act as a salutary warning to youth and maturity , and by its perusal
many questions may be satisfactorily replied to, that admit of no ap-
peal, even to the most confidential friend."—Era.

WELSH MIDLAND AND BRECON AND
MERTHYR RAILWAY COMPANY.

NOTICE TO SHAREHOLDERS.

- - .....
The Provisional Directors have regretted their inability to make
an earlier announcement to the Shareholders of the Welsh Midland
and Brecon and Merthyr companies, but they found it impossible in
the first instance during the busy season of the session of Parliament
to get in the accohnts, and when the accounts were received, it be-
came necessary not only to investigate them, but to negotiate for a
reduction of their amounts—the arrangements into which these
Companies had entered with other companies also rendered farther
negotiations necessary, and it was, moreover, obviously impractic-
able to suggest any plan for future operations until it should be as-
certained which of the various lines projected in the district would
be ultimately sanctioned by Parliament.
The result of the present session has been, that the Shrewsbury
and Hereford Railway, and the Newport, Abergavenny, and Hereford
Railway are the only lines sanctioned by Parliament, connected with
the Welsh Midland District.
These lines complete an unbroken railway route from Newport,
on the Bristol Channel, to Birkenhead and Liverpool. The various
other lines, which competed for this occupation of South Wales,
have all been rejected.
The Directors have the satisfaction to state that they have, by
agreement, steured an interest to the extent of one-third of the
capital in the Newport, Abergavenny, and Hereford Railway; this
interest is equal to 9,000 shares of 251. with 21. 10s. paid, which will
he apportioned amongst the Welsh Midland and Brecon and Merthyr
Shareholders in proportion to their interest in those undertakings.
Other negotiations are in progress which may issue in securing
some further advantages. If such should be the case, the directors
will immediately give a further option to the shareholders, but they
do not think it right to delay this announcement.
The Parliamentary struggle has closed too recently to allow ar-
rangements to be perfected between the several companies interested
in railway accommodation to South Wales. There can be no doubt
but that the interests of the Newport, Alsergavenny, and Ilereford,
and of the Shrewsbury and Hereford lines will lead them to promote
an Extension from Hereford to Swansea; whilst the London and
Birmingham and Midland Companies will equally defere the same
communication, extending the narrow gauge in connexion with their
trunk lines.

Before, however, entering into any binding engagements, or incur-
ring any expense for promoting in the next session a line from Here-
ford to Swansea, the Directors considered it due to the Welsh
Midland and Brecon and Merthyr Shareholders, to give to every
one the option of withdrawing, before they transferred his interest
into the new Company.
In ascertaining the amount of expenses incurred by the Welsh
Midland and Brecon and Merthyr Companies, many accounts are
still unavoidably under negotiation. The Directors can only at pre-
sent return 15s. per share on the Welsh Midland, and 7s. 6d. per
Share on the Brecon and Merthyr, and will not be able, until the un-
settled accounts are disposed of, to ascertain the further balance to
I,e divided ; they are, however, assiduously devoting themselves to
this work, so as to wind up the affairs with the utmost dispatch and
economy.
To enable the Shareholders freely to exercise their apposition, the
Welsh Midland Company and the Brecon and Merthyr Company,
have been duly dissolved undo' the powers of dissolution contained
in the Subscribers' agreements, and the Directors request before the
let of September to be put in possession of the wishes of each Share-
holder on the following options :
lst.—To exchange one Welsh Midland, or two Brecon and Mer-
thyr shares, for one Newport, Abergavenny, and Hereford Railway
share upon which 2/. 10s. has been paid, to the extent of his proper.
tion, being credited ss. beyond the 21. 10s. towards the future calls.
2d..—To transfer the remaining shares into a new Company for
promoting a line from Hereford to Swansea.
3d.—To receive hack the Ihs. per share on each Welsh Midland,
and 7s. 6d. per share on each Brecon and Merthyr share, with such
further sum as may hereafter accrue.
Each Shareholder is requested to fill up and return the subjoined
circular, accompanied by his Scrip, and a receipt for such Scrip will
be forwarded to him in course of post.

division had been come to ; it seems most probable, however,
that it will pass with some few alterations. Mr. Webster is
most energetic in his opposition to the Bill, and had pre-
sented a memorial from the copper manufacturers against
it, but was unsuccessful on a division in endeavouring to get
the petitioners a heoring. This looks favourable for the Bill
The Warehouse Bill had passed by a rote of 31 to 20. It
was expected that a vote would be taken on the merits of

the new Tariff Bill in the course of a day or two.
On the 15th the House of Representatives passed the
Treasury Note Bill by a vote of 108 to 47, and were engaged
in discussing the sum required for payment of volunteers,
but no division was come to.

The Washington Union, of the 14th, publishes the follow-
ing relative to the finances of the United States:—

" The follow ing interesting document was this day trans-
mitted to the Senate of the United States, by the Secretary
of the Treasury :
" Treasury Department, July 13, 1846.
" Sir,—lierewith is respectfully submitted an answer to so
much of the resolution of the Senate, of the 29th of June
last, as requires a statement of the revenue received from the
customs for the three first quarters of the present year, and
the amount expected from that source for the fourth quarter.
"It will be perceived that, whilst in the first quarter of
the fiscal year terminating on the 30th ofJune, 1846, there
was a loss of 2.011,785 dolls. 90c., as compared with the cor-
responding quarter of the preceding year; and whilst the
revenue received during the two months of the succeeding
quarter, to the date of my annual report of December last,
very nearly corresponded with the amount received during
the same period of the same quarter of the preceding
the amount received during the two jast Quarles of the
fiscal year terminating on the 30th of Jane, 1846, exceeded"
that received during the two corresponding quarters of the
preceding year 1,040,000 dolls.
"That is, whilst during the first five months of the fiscal
year terminating on the 30th of June, 1846, which had
elapsed at the date of my annual report of December last,
there was a diminution of the revenue from customs, as
compared with the first five months of the preceding fiscal
year, of nearly two millions of dollars; yet, in the seven last
months of the fiscal year terminating on the 30th of June,
1846, there was an increase of the revenue, compared with
the corresponding seven months of the preceding year, of
about 140,000 dollars ; thus raising the aggregate revenue of
the year ending the 30th June, 1846, to 26,681,915 dollars,
42 cents. Whereas, if the decrease of revenue for the last
seven months of that year had corresponded in the same ratio
the first five months, it would have reduced the revenue for
the fiscal year terminating on the 30th of June, 1846, to
about 23,500,000 dollars, instead of 24,500,000 dollars, as
estimated by this department in December last.
" The receipts from customs for the fiscal year terminating
on the 30th of June, 1845, and for the first three quarters
of the fiscal year ending on the 30th of June, 1846, are given
from the official returns for money actually paid into the
treasury.
" The official returns for money actually paid into the
treasury for the last quarter of the fiscal year ending on the
30th June, 1845, are not quite fully completed, but can vary
only a very small sum from the amount given in the estimate
of 6,270,000 dollars.
" It will be perceived that the receipts into the treasury
from customs for the fiscal year ending on the 30th of June,
1846, are less than the receipts for the fiscal year preceding,
by the sum of 84,619,728 dollars.
" The remainder of the information called for is in the
course of preparation, and will in a few days be communi-
cated to the Senate.

" Most respectfully, your obedient servant,
" R. J. WALKER, Secretary of the Treasury.
" To Hon. George M. Dallas, Vice-President of the
United States and President of the Senate."

The same paper gives the following:—
LATEST FROM THE CAMP.

" Army of Occupation, June 24, 1846.
" Some volunteers have arrived at Brazos Santiago from
Tennessee, presumed to be of the twelvemonth's quota. The
volunteers which previously arrived from New Orleans have
nearly all moved to Barita, except two regiments in this
place. I shall bring them up the river as soon as I can pro-
cure transportation. The volunteers from Texas are en-
camped near Point Isabel, and are now organising under the
direction of the Governor.

We have no authentic intelligence from the interior of
Mexico. The army at Linarez is believed to be moving to-
wards Monterey, much reduced in numbers by desertion and
sickness. It is rumoured that Bustamente is at the head of
the Government, and that Paredes is advancing with a large
force to this frontier."

FREE FLOGGING AND SLAVE

FLOGGING.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

Stn,-1 have frequently heard the English people speak in
the strongest terms of reprobation of our system of flogging
slaves in America, describing it brutish and horrible beyond
measure, and degrading to any nation professing to be
Christian. Allow me to ask you how it is that the sensitive
people of England are so silent after one of their own nation
has been cut bit from bit, and killed by this horrid, but, allow
me to say, thoroughly English system of punishment. I
have since my residence in England heard your clergy almost
execrate us for what they suffer to go on in their own
country with impunity—nay. never even raise their voices
against it. As far as profession of religion goes, you, Sir,
have ten times over what we have in my country, but, I
must say, I think far less practice. I know not whether you
are aware of it, but we have no such bloody work in our
army now. I know of no nation who so soon see the mote
in a brother's eye as yours ; and, as men professing Chris-
tianity to so great an extent, I tell them to wipe out this
blot in their own land before they talk to us about flogging
slaves.—l am, Sir, &c.,

LITERATURE.

SCIENTIFIC AND LITERARY TREASURY.
By Samuel Maunder. Foui th Edition.

What a terrestrial globe is to a multitude of maps this
little book is to an ordinary library. It is the accumu-
lation and condensation of knowledge upon almost every
subject; and it offers in a compact and portable form as
much of real instruction as is usually scattered through
many hundred volumes. Mr. Maunders has with no
little ingenuity selected the very cream of ail the
encyclopaedias that have ever been published, and pre-
sented it to us in a book, six inches by four in dimen-
sions, two inches in thickness, and in weight a very few
ounces—avordupuis. It is a- volume to be carried in
one's valise upon a journey, and would answer all the
purposes of a library of reference. The gentleman
who has compiled this remarkable work has shown
himself gifted with the keenest appreciation of what
is really worthy of mention and what is altogether
superfluous. Ile has stripped off the redundant husk,
and has even broken away the shell ; his book is
certainly the very kernel and pith of knowledge.
Although the type is somewhat diminitive, it is so
sharply and clearly printed that the sight is not in-
convenienced by the perusal. Mr. Maunder has con-
ferred a benefit upon his fellow-creatures ; his work is
the cede mecum of literature and science.
