BY its zeal in the cause of progress, and its staunch devotion to
the interests of the People, the DISPATCH has become a terror to
the upholder of abuse, and a powerfal auxiliary on behalf of the
oppressed, whom ',mugs will always meet with sympathy and
exposure.

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 ofthe DISPATCH will ailContinuo to be enriched
by the powerfal contributions of
-" PUBLICOLA," " CAUSTIC," " CENSORIUS," ELIZA COOK,
And other writers eminently distinguished for their literary attain-
luents, and whose opinions have ever advocated the cause of the
reeple, in opposition to tyranny and injustice. It may also be ob-
gerved, that the POOll MAN will always receive LEGAL ADVICE
and assistance, as heretofore, from the DISPATCH.
A beautiful New Type has been cast, on which the DISPATCH
gill next year be printed.

Monts on or before Friday Afternoon, otherwise no attention can be

REVIEW OF THE worm.
LaVert On the Infirmities of Youth and Maturity.—" There ore
Scenes in the drama of life which are acted with no spectator but
Louscience ; 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 I In the book before us
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,
aeon all who are tempted from the rigid path of abstemiousness and
Ipropriety. A father may trust it in the hands of his boy. By un
;a ug ht innocence the book is not, of course, needed ; but wherever
lazitY 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."

" Manhood.' A Medical Work.—To the gay and thoughtless we
trust this little work will servo as a beacou to warn them of the
danger attendant upon the too rash indulgence of their passions,
whilst to some it may serve as a monitor in the hour of tempta-
tion, and to the afflicted as a sure guide to health."—Chronicle.
" Manhood.' By J. L. Curtis.—Their long experience and re-
putation in the treatment of these painful diseases is the patient's
guarantee, and well deserves for the work its immense cirulation."

" ' Curtis on Manhood' should be in the hands of youth and old
age. It is a medical publication, ably written, and developes the
treatment of a class of painful maladies which has too long been
the prey of the illiterate and the designing."— United Service

The Parent, who beholds his beloved child pining away, and fast
approaching to a premature grave, in consequence of some disease,
which, for want of carefld investigation of its real cause, has been
set down to the score of consumption, will, on perusing this work,
be astonished to find, that in nine-tenths of the cases of young per-
sons of both sexes, who perish of what is called pulmonary con-
gumption, heart disease, tapes, &c., the sole and exchtsive origin has
been the indulgence lu certain destructive habits practised by youth
mach more frequently than it is at all suspected.
