abused, the prolific source of mischief and of greater or less injury
to the constitutional and vital powers. The particular excesses, en
the statetre and oonsenuence of which this Treatise professes te dilate,
are productive of greater severity of misery to the Yuman frame,
than any other to which it is subiect.
This work cwrtsins
an accurate and complete account of the
Anatomy and Physiology of the Reproductive Organs, and of
their relative conditions in health and disease. It deservedly
requires the closest attention anti study, for what subject can
he of snore importance than the preservation •f the health
and of the physical capabilities of which every man should
be possessed• it unfortunately happens that the unhappy
victim of excessive indulgence and vicious habits, whether acquired
in early life or from the follies of advanced age, while suffering
trom their invariable consequences, unwisely entertains a tear of ap-
plying to a qualified physician for relief. Shame anti the dread so
requently, but erroneously entertained that these complaints are
bey
ond 'd the reach of art, alike restrict him and prevent his seeking
'or assistance where alone it can be procured. In acting thus, he
forgets that accurate discrimination n ascertaining the causes of
:Isom, sympathy with the sufferer, and, above all, secrecy, inva-
riably characterise the
intelligent and practical physician, and to the
nedical man who can show by his posse,sion of the requisite legal
qualifications that he is entitled to esteem and respect in his proles.sional pursuria, the utmost confidence should be extended. Dr.
LAWERT has obtained thehighest medical honours, as his diplomas
certify, and the great extent of his practice for many years is a
tuarmtatee for his professional experienee, which has reference almost
solely to the treatment of these diseases.

FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY.
TIMES.—The Attorney-General for Ireland has
abandoned the two indictments against Mr Mitchell
in one form, to renew them in another. No kind of
interest will attach to the technical discussion which
took place in the Queen's Bench as to the appearance
of Mr. 'Mitchell by person or attorney. It is suffi
cient to know that an information is filed, on the
trial of which the merits of the case will be sub•
sta ntially at 'issue. Whatever may be the case
with Messrs. Smith O'Brien and Meagher, whe
we suspect since the passing of the late Act will
be ready enough to slip their necks out of
the halter, Mr. John Mitchell appears inclined to
go on merrily enough. His language the other day
when in conference with the two Chartist delegates,
shows that he at least is sincere when he expresses
his determination to go on with the agitation at all
costs and at all events. Mr. Mitchell is probably doing
the country good service despite of himself. The greater
his violence, the shorter will be his reign. Irish agita-
tion in its present form has reached the hour when it
must cease to be. Conciliation- ball is toe weak, and the
Irish Confederation too strong, to answer the desired
purpose. The Old Ireland or Conciliation-hall party
will shortly have to date from the Hegira or flight of
Mr. John O'Csnnell. Their more tempestuous brethren
of the Confederation must come to a stand still pretty
much for the reason that a party of drunken brawlers in
the public streets leave the full celebrati6n of their mys-
teries unaccomplished and half the gas-lamps of a street
unsbattered. That reason is prosaic but satisfactory. A
party of dull dogs in the shape of policemen lay hands
upon the Bacchanalian rout, and convey them to a cool
sequestered spot where the English sot and the Irish
rebel must alike learn a lesson of composure and re-
pentance. It would be too much to expect that with
the extinction of these two organizations __,the one
effete, the other premature—that agitation in Ireland
ihould definitively cease. Wherever there is ignorance,
wherever there is poverty as the raw material, and
needy,, adventurers to turn it to account, there the manu-
facture of agitation will progress, now in greater, now
(
iu lesser parcels, according to the varying,
u circumstances
of the time and the chances of profit. much,
p
c°wa--
ever, will be gained:—By the recent Bill the Irish
triots will be referred to their
proper category, and that
public estimation. They
not a eery high one, .n the
will be broken up into inexplicable and irreconcileable
sections. Already since the death of Daniel O'Con-
nell we have witnessed
a repetition of the old
story of Alexander's generals. In a shorteertieiomes
confusion will become thrice confounded. The
in nice distinctions will have an opportunity of
indulging the bias of their minds. Physical force and
moral force will prove the two points of departure e
vred
i from
whence a thousand rivulets will flow with
pro-
portions from the parent fountains. It will be as diffi-
cult to distinguish between them as between the here-
tics of the Primitive Church, or the scholastic dreamers
of the middle ages. There is nothing strange in this.
Could the spectre of Daniel O'Connell be summoned up
from the Endor of Glassnevin, the astute shad ow could
not suggest to his successor any means
of' keeping to-
gether the discordant elements of agitation in Ireland.
They had already escaped from his control. Where he
still in possession of the Brebon throne in Conte r iation-
'hall, he would be unable to check O'Brien Poliorcetes,
.or Meagher of the Sword, or the humane philosopher of
the United Irishman in their mad career. He
himself would have gone out of fashion for
the same reason that the dilatory security of a
two horse stage gives place to the explosive
speed of the steam express. It was not possible in the
nature of things to keep an assemblage of Irishmen quiet
in the tea-room for any lengthened period of time while
Donnybrook with its usual amusements was in full
a eer outside. The famine first, and then the conti-
nentalcr revolution would have deranged all its calculations.
He at least, however loudly he might proclaim them,
was abundantly aware of the inadequacy_ of "
1e
Irish
grievances" to justify a sanguinary civil contest.
knew, moreover, the certain failure that would attend .
upon armed rebellion. Let us desoutly hope, for his
own sake, that he was sincere in the profession of
his wish to avoid the bloody arbitrament of war. A
second repeal agitation, equal in duration and poli-
tical significance to that curried on for a quarter
of a century by Daniel O'Connell, is now perfectly
out of the question. We might as well look for
another ten years' war against Troy in our own times.
To make no mention of the different capacity of the
historical and actual leaders of agitation, the heroes of
the Irish Confederation approach their task with the
unfavourable prestige of a twenty-five years' failure.
Irish grievances have been so much and so often dis-
cussed in the Imperial Parliament that their nature is
exactly understood both here and in Ireland. There is
the question of the Roman Catholic priesthood, which
is, perhaps, the only grievance peculiar to Ireland. The
other changes demanded find their counterpart on this
side of the Channel. It would be difficult to show that
either here or there the present state of the law exercises
any appreciable influence on the physical condition of
the people. Extension of the suffrage, increased privi-
leges to the municipalities, and so forth, are claimed by
the.. Extreme Left " in England as well as in
Ireland. Upon other points—such as the relation
between landlord and tenant, and the regulations af-
fecting landed property—the Legislature would be too
happy to arrive at any satisfactory solution. could
any be indicated such as experience would sanction
or reason allow. Exclusive of such questions as those
we have just enumerated, we find the more violent of
the Irish Members, when called upon categorically to
enunciate the grievances of their country, wasting the
time and patience of the House with impudent attempts
to extort subsidies from the public Treasury, or hurling
reproaches at the Minister for aggravating those conse-
quences of the famine be did his utmost to avert. No
continuous agitation was ever founded upon so rotten a
fsasis as detected misrepresentation, and this is all upon
which the modern school of Irish patriots can hope to
build. Conciliation- hall was within an ace of being
closed the other day. The moral force " humbug," as
it is called in Ireland, is on its last legs. After the
death of Daniel O'Connell its only support came from
the turbulent and disaffected amongst the Roman
Catholic priesthood the disciples of the M'Hale
school. Now that the Pope, by his rescript, and all
that is dignified and respectable in the Church in
Ireland have set their faces against the desecration
of their calling by the priesthood, Conciliation-hall stands
.done. This. however, potential as it may be, is not the
main cause of the decadence of that noble institution.
It is Messrs. Mitchell, and Meagher, and Smith O'Brien
who have taken the wind out of the sails of the O'Con-
nells. The first-named patriotic gentlemen will ere long
have time to reflect at their leisure upon the good old
proverb about the " halt loaf" and the "no bread." An
issue will now be tendered them which it will be compe-
tent to there to refuse or accept. On the first hypothesis,
there is an end of their trade; on the second, they will
have an opportunity at once of trying conclusions with
the Government. Io either case we may predict that
the days of the Irish Confederation are numbered. It is
time that there should be an end of all this civil turmoil,
and that the monstrous falsehood of the Imperial mis-
government in Ireland should be scattered to the winds.
Whatever force, physical or moral, the Government may
need to put an end to the disorders by which Ireland
has been so long agitated is ready to their hands.
They have evinced already their earnest desire to do
all that legislation can achieve to remedy the misery of
that country. There is one remedy which would prove
of more value than a thousand statutes, or an annual
bickering about the fundamental laws of the kingdom—
and that is peace and tranquillity. Lord John Russell
cannot sow the soil of Ireland from Waterford to Done-
gal—Lord John Russell cannot reclaim the Bog of
Allen, nor convert Connemara into the Similitude of the
Horticultural Gardens at Chiswick. These are not the
times when a First Minister grasps a big stick, and goes
out to his twelve labours like Hercules. The Irish,
however, can do all these things for themselves, would
they but once admit to their own minds the necessity of
labour, and the uselessness and criminality of causeless
political agitation. The measure which will enable
Lord Clarendon to deal with the insane and unprincipled
men who are now engaged in driving their country to
the verge of ruin is now the law of the land. Not a
moment should be lost in putting its provisions in force,
and we shall Soon see if a small body of men despised in
England, rejected by France, and condemned in Ireland
will much longer continue to threaten society with dis-
solution,

CHRONICLE.— On Tuesday last Sir. 11. J. Fuat per-
formed a difficult and anxious duty, and performed it
well. Giving judgment in the case of" Geils l'. Geils,"
will be admitied to have been a very critical under-
taking, atter what has come before the public touching
the circumstances, the parties, the doctors and proctors,
and the judge. Not merely the character of the Court,
but the dignity of English justice, might have been corn-
, promised, had he been wanting to the emergency. He
was bound to rise superior to both suspicion and intimi-
dation. It was imperatively required of him, that he
should not be irritated into fretfulness by the snappish
bark or savage bite of the advocate, nor stunned out of
his sobriety by the thunder of the press. Above all, he
bad to ovoid that worst, and yet most frequent, kind of
moral cowardice—the doing what he thought wrong,
lest, if he did what he thought right, an
unworthy motive should be imputed to him. A
judgment which occupied seven hours and a
' half in the delivery can only be printed in
an abridged form by a newspaper, and should not be
hastily criticiz 41 ; but, so tar as our present lights
extend, we think it will at least carry conviction to
the minds of all impartial readers, that the evidence
has been carefully sifted; that the essential points have
been judiciously separated from the mass; that the prin-
ciples of law have been logically applied to the facts; and
that sound justice, emphatically speaking, has been
done. The proceedings in this case (and the fact is im-
portant) were commenced by the gentleman, in the
shape of a suit for the restitution of conjugal rights.
The lady retaliated by a claim for a separation, alleging
three perfectly distinct grounds; cruelty', adultery, and
conduct of a still more reprehensible kind. Thejudge
refused the separation on the first and third grounds;
but granted it on the second; and in our opinion he is
right. To have ordered Mrs. Genii to
husband, and cohabit with him 0 h prayed),
to her
5 o return
would

have been monstrous tyranny; but it is proper to say at
once, that nothing was proved against Mr. Goils
that essentially distinguishes his conduct from that
of other young men of loose morals, who hive mar-
ried young women or quick sensibility, half-spoiled by
ourental indulgence, and coarrylled with them. The
wanner in which even her best qualities might have led
.sradually to the fatal differences which ensued, was
elearly stated by the judge; she was hiff•dy and de-
cervedly .esteemed by her friends, but she must have
Niel: very badly advised indeed when she suffered her-
self to go the awful lengths, in the way of accusation, to
.vhich she stood committed in the end. Dr. Addams
,nust exmise us, but when he was pleased to deciare of
nimseli thst he was " a triton among the minnows" in the
Court of Arches, we were as much struck with the ludi-
crous exaggeration, aS with the unbecoming arrogance
of the boast. He may be au able a.ivocate, but he was
certainly not a well-judging one, when he placed
an odious, vague, and ill supported imputation in
the foreground, and made an indiscriminate on-
slaught on every one, from the judge to the
crier, beosus, the whole world would not join with him,
on the instant, in declaring Mr. Gods a brute and a
ronsn r, to be driven with execration from society. Sir
11. J. Fust said, " that this was the first ease, he be.
deved, in which the question had ever been raised as to
the particular kind of offence here charged." It may be
.he first time such a charge has come before the Court,
but it is certainly nut the first time such a charge has
been brought against their husbands by women, who
saw in it a ready weapon for a stab; and we can hardly
understand how any person of sense and feeling could
encourage a wife in making such a charge against
the father of her children, unless she was prepared
with evidence leaving not the remotest doubt on
the mind of any reasonable being of his guilt. Is
it possible that Dr. Addams can have read (not to
say, drawn or settled) the thirty-second article, and
not been struck by its indirectness, uncertainty,
amid inconsistency ? And then, the affecting simplicity
of the lady, apparently as ignorant of the forbidden
chapters of natural history as Madame Laffarge, who

things; and we incline to think that too Mnehnadiin y
tuemoiots,t
of the technical kind, is thrown in the way of
e
tions in England. There may be cruelty without blows;
a'
and there may be infidelity on the part of the husband,w
without unkindness. Sir H. J. Fust, however, being
bound by precedent and practice to base his
decision on some specific head, did right in
fixing on the allegation of adultery; but we are
sorry he was prevented from pronouncing broadly for
the separation, on the ground that it was utterly impos-
sible for the parties to live together again; instead of
relying exclusively on Mr. Geil's illicit intercourse with
women of an inferior rank, which, deeply culpable as it
is, implies no lasting estrangement of affection in the
man. "By heaven, by all that is sacred," said Jones,
t‘ your image was never out of my heart. Tile cielicacy
of your sex cannot conceive the grossness of ours, nor
how little an amour of that sort has to do with the
heart." " I will never marry a man," replied Sophia,
very gravely, " who shall not have refinement enough to
he as incapable as I am myself of making such a diatinc •
Lion." The whole of these proceedings illustrate,
in the strongest manner, the defective character of
our ecclesiastical jurisprudence, and the faulty consti-
tution of the court. It is not the judge, the officers,
or the practitioners, who were to blame for anything
that has been made the subject of invidious com-
ment, but the system. Sir H. J. Fust has successfully
vindicated the particular examiner, but what is to be
said for such a method of examination? One witness
looks as well us another on paper: all signs of hesitation
or confusion are omitted; and we should be glad to
know why such issues as those which Sir H. J Fust
had to try should not be submittedto a jury, as well
as th,se involved in au action of slander, seduction, or
or
trim. con. In the spiritual courts, or a court of equity,
a man and his wife, backed by their respective friends'
may actually go on criminating and recriminating for
years, with no other cheek than the proctor's or soli-
citor's bill; and there was truth as well as point in Dr.
Johnson's reply to Gilbert Walmsley, the registrar o
the spiritual court at Lichfield, who objected that the
catastrophe of Irene was too much precipitated, •
the author could not make the heroine moresince
than she ens in the third act. " Yes, I can,"lnwise
reply, "I can put her into the Spiritual Court.” as

THE NEW NOVEL "ANGELA," BY THE AUTHOR
OF "E MILIA WINDHAM."— This work will certainly
add to the well-established fame of one of our best and
purest novelists. The story is marked by great delicacy
,if sentiment and moral beauty. It is written with great
feeling, and appeals to sympathies which all mankind
have in common. The writer's view of life is large, and
her perception of character quick and distinct. Her
central figure, " Angela," stands out in light. In the
work are personages whom we recognise at once as re-
-I.resentatives of whole classes of society. Mrs. Usher-
wood, the handsome, active, ostentatious wife of a rich
City man, who expects her governess to be constantly at
work from six in the morning till nine at night ; Mr.
Darby, a patron of the turf, always hovering between
beggary and opulence ; Augusta Darby, high-spirited,
impetuous, and passionate, but with her pride subdued
by her affection ; and Mr. Vavasour, the heir to a peer-
age, but a scanty income, whose natural elegance of
mind renders him unwilling to enter on the active busi-
ness of life ; these are portraits finished with a masterly
nand.—Britannia.
Yesterday their Royal Hignesses the Duke and
Duchess of Cambridge and the Princess Mary, attended

PROPAGATION OF THE GOSPEL AMONG THE
Juws.—The usual annual meeting of the British Society
for the Propagation of the Gospel among the Jews was
held yesterday evening in the Freemasons' Hall, Great
Queen-street, which was on the occasion filled in every
Part with a highly respectable audience. The chair
was taken, at six o'clock, by Mr. John Dean Paul, w ho,
in opening the proceedings alluded to the great changes
which had recently taken place in different parts of the
world as haring some bearing upon the prophecy which
announced that the Jewish nation would yet be recon-
stituted. He congratulated the meeting upon the pros-
perity which attended the society, its funds having in-
creased, and its labours in diffusing Christianity among
the children of Israel having been crowned with consi-
derable success. From the report which was read by
the secretary it appears that the society has established
a college fur the education of young Christianized Jews,
and for training them to become the missionaries of the
Gospel among their own people. During the past year
eight pupils have been qualified to undertake these
duties, and the results of this experiment are looked
forward to with confident hopes of success. The amount
of subscriptions for the year was stated to be 3,3001,
out of which there remains unexpended a balance of 50. h

lowing declaration has been in course of signature in
this town We, the undersigned, earnestly desire the
following political changes, and hereby express our de-
termination, by all peaceful and constitutional means, to
obtain the same;—household suffrage, vote by ballot,
electoral districts, and triennial Parliaments." The de-
claration, up to last night, had received the signatures of
Upwards of six thousand of the inhabitants of this bo-
rough, including the two representatives (Mr. Muntz and
Mr. Scholefield), several of the borough magistrates,
Aldermen Muntz, Room, Thornton, Phillips, Weston,
Cutler, Lawdon, and Palmer; and about fifteen or sixteen
councillors. There were several meetings held during
the past week on the extension of the suffrage and other
changes, but it is probable that the various parties,
having the same object in view, will join in the above
declaration. A meeting of the subscribers to this

judgment upon the condition of their country than those

prosperity. Your address, therefore, founded upon
resolutions which were agreed to, with remarkable
unanimity, by a public meeting at Belfast, is of the
utmost value at a moment when you justly consider that
the best interests of Ireland are endangered, not by a
free press, and legitimate discussion, which are the great
bulwarks of national liberty and prosperity—but by the
utter rejection of truth and argument, and the adoption
of every device and invention that could seduce a
suffering and excitable people into open rebellion, and
acts of the most sanguinary violence.
"In language befitting the occasion, you have de-
nounced the few mischievous men who, fur their own
purposes, seek to entail such incalculable misery upon
this country; and I beg you will except my cordial
thanks for the public service you have thus performed,as
well for the expression of your satisfaction with the mea-
sures that have been and are being adopted to maintaia

guilty designs,
i"rhe calm and deliberate opinion which you hare
pronounced in favour of that Legislative Union by which
the integrity of the British Empire is maintained, can-

firmly convinced that the maintenance of the union
is far more important to Ireland than to Great Britain,
and that all those who honestly, though perhaps without

" If anything could add to the value of the determi-

the Throne and Constitution, and to assist in the main-
tenance of law and order, it is the fact that it has pro-
ceeded from gentlemen of various shades of political
opinions; but the fact also of their differences as to the
general principles and details of government in this
country is, in itself, a proof of the difficulties which at-
tend all attempts to remedy social evils that are the
growth of ages, and many of which mould be far more
easily removed by individual or associated efforts, than
by legislative enactments. I need hardly assure you,
however, that her Majesty'a Government earnestly
desire to promote the welfare of Ireland by measures
that will develop her resources, and by every means in
their power redress acknowledged grievances, and satisfy
those wlei have cause for complaint.

DESTRUCTION of BARTON MILLS

• BY FIRE.
(FROM A CORRESPONDENT.)
On Wednesday evening, at about half-past ten
o'clock, a fire was observed to commence on these pre-
mise.; and being a corn-mill, and consequently very
combustible when once inflamed, the conflagration was
very rapid and very splendid. The fire was first ob-
served in that part of the building which is generally
appropriated, as it was in this instance, to meal and
shades. Thence it spread in every direction, and in the
morning all that r

SINGULAR CASE.—A case of a very singular de-
scription, illustrative of the iefluence of an excited or
overe rough t imagination, occurred here on Monday
week, which has unhappily terminated in a fatal man-
ner. It appears thnt two mischievous boys, residing in
Stmon's-square, Nicholson-street, for the purpose of
amusement, seized u little fellow about eight years of
age, who was also resident in that locality and was
known to them, and charging him with some trifling
depredation from his aunt bound his arms with a piece
of cord, and proceeded with him to the police-office at
St. Leonard's. Before they reached that station, how-
ever, a passknger, attracted by the distressed condition
of the boy, released him from the grasp of his bullying
companions, and sent him away home in a very agitated
state. The little fellow was put to bed, but he became
rapidly worse, and during some periods of nervous ex-
citement cried out to cut the cord and let him off.
