On CHASTITY and its INFRINGEMENTS,
(An Essay for 1846.)
"Of human ills and frailties I discourse,
Those taught by nature, and by art acquir'd.
Of griefs conceal'd, 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 container: 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 hearing 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 own 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 la e advantages on our offspring

Completely in keeping with MOSES and SON.

We are not out of season in coining a joke.
And now, sirs, to business—to this we would cling—
For this, after a'l, Is the principal thing.
Let the races at Goodwood, remind you, good sirs,
Of the coats of good-cloth which each sportsman prefers.
E. MOSES and SON (as is clearly display'd
Are running a glorious race with the trade.
And alp in the trade have been left In the lurch
By MOSES, of Aldgate, right facing the church.
The sporting-coats MOSES and SON have design'd
Will equally suit both your body and mind.
Their style is the best, and they stand " wear and tear,"
And they're perfectly suited for ey'ry-day wear.
When sportsmen behold them, they all praise them up,
And pronounce Messrs. MOSES deserving a " cup."

To procure a new coat of E. MOSES and SON.

GOWLAND'S LOTION for Purifying the Skin
and Preserving the Complexion.
The use of Gowland's Lotion is speedily followed by the disappear-
ance of every species of eruptive malady, discoloration, &c., and the
establishment of a pure surface of the skin, accompanied by the
brilliant circulation which constitutes the tint of beauty ; whilst as
a refresher it preserves the most susceptible complexion, and sustains
to a protracted period the softness of texture and vivacity peculiar
to earlier years.

..A.MERICAN NEWS.

LIVERPOOL, MONDAY.
We have New York papers of the 16th by the packet-ship
Fidelia, Captain Hackstaff. These papers, though nominally
a day later, contain but little, as the papers of the 15th,
made up for the steamer, bring the news down to a later hour
than on ordinary days of publication. We have, however,
one full day's later news from Washington.
. _

The Senate was occupied with the Tariff Bill, but no
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 hearing. This looks favourable for the Bill
The Warehouse Bill had passed by a vote 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 following 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,—herewith 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 of June, 1846, there
was a loss of 2,011,785 dolls. 90c., as compared with the cor-
responding quarter of the precding 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 year,
the amount received during the tl% o fait quarters cf the
fiscal year terminating on the 30th of June, 184 G, 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, 1846, 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 Livarez is believed to be moving to-
wards Monterey, much reduced in numbers by desertion and
sickness. It is rumoured that 13ustamente is at the head of
the Government, and that Paredes is advancing with a large
force to this frontier."
The following is from a private letter :
(Correspondence of the Newark Daily Advertiser.)

Camp United States Army, Matamoras, June 27.
" The enemy is gathering in force at Monterey, which
hey are rapidly fortifying. We expect to march against
them in a few weeks ; the result is in the hands of the God
of battles. The 7th Infantry left to-day per steamer Nerva,

FREE FLOC4GING AND SLAVE

FLOGGING.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
Stu,—l 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,
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.,
