Sacarraai—W. C. 31ORGAN.
At a Meeting of the Committee of the Association of Shipowners,
Brokers, and Merchants, formed to promote the abolition of Light
Dues levied on Shipping, held at the offices of the Association is
London on the 31st January, 1848; after a lengthened inquiry and a
• careful investigation cf the question of the heavy burden of Light
Dues on Shipping, and the serious impediments to the Commerce of
the country arising therefrom, it was unanimously resolved-
1. That the Light-houses of the United Kingdom ought no longer
to continue under the management of a self-elected and irresponsible
body.
2. That a Central Board, responsible to Government, should be
• formed, to which Board the duties now performed by the Trinity
House and Scotch and Irish Boards should be transferred, whereby
• Uniformity in the management would be effected.
3. That the Debt incurred by the purchase of privileges in private
Light-houses, formerly very improperly granted to individuals,
Ought never to have been charged upon the Shipping, being a debt
for which Shipowners were no more answerable than any other class
of the community; and that they ought forthwith to be relieved
from that debt, as recommended by the Parliamentary Committee on
Light Houses, in 1845.
4. That this Association cordially agrees with the following reso-
lution of that Committee, " That all expenses for the erection and
maintenance of Light-houses, Floating Lights, Buoys, and Beacons
• on the coasts of the United Kingdom should henceforth be defrayed
out of the public revenue (as the Consular expenses are paid), and
that, as the Trinity House has incurred a debt under the authority
of the 6 and 7 Willi: 4th, c. 79, in the purchase from private in-
dividuals of their leases and possession of Light-houses," improperly
_granted as aforesaid, " the Government ought to take upon it that
debt."
5. That in accordance with the recommendation of that Com-
mittee, the money now expended out of the Light Dues by the
Trinity Board, for pemiens and charitable purposes, without control
or responsibility, should cease to be so applied after the lives of the
individuals now on their pension list; and that further, in com-
plianee with the suggestion of the said Committee, a comprehensive
measure should be brought forward by Government for the relief,
• according to service a.ai merit, of destitute Masters, Mates, and
• Seamen of Merchant Vessels. instead of the present system of favour
and interest; which answers none of the desirable objscts sought to
be attained for so important a class as the seamen of the United
Kingdom.
6. That the present system, both in respect to the maintenance of
the Lights, and the payment of allowances to superannuated seamen
and their families from Light-house dues, has been strongly con-
shinned by every Parliamentary Committee that has sat upon the
whiect, and the increased competition of railways with steamers and
sailing vedseis in the coast trade having greatly aggravated the
. burden of light dues since the reports of those Committees were laid
before Parliament, immediate relief is the more necessary.
7. that no measure which does not embrace the aforesaid objects
. can afford satisfaction to the shipowner, or any substantial relief to
the shipping interest of the country.
8. That numerous petitions for relief from these abuses and bur-
• then were presented to the last Parliament, from every considerable
port or district in the United Kingom ; and this Committee there-
. fare resolves that active measures be at once adopted for securing the
• roe-operation of the Members of the present Parliament representing
those ports and districts.
That a copy of these resolutions be transmitted to each of her
• ,414esty's Ministers, to each Member of Parliament, and be otherwise
tier telly circulated. M. FORSTER ,Chairman.

The extremely depressed circumstances of vast numbers of the
community, and the necessity of adopting some effectual means for
their improvement, long occupied the minds of the benevolent and
philanthropic in Scotland. Apart from the destitution induced by
gratuitous criminality, it was evident that much of the distress of the
humbler classes arose out of circumstances over which they had
little or no control. In aggravation of other evils, indigence conti-
nually drives numbers of the rural and urban population to occupy
pestiferous dwellings where their own health or lives are sacrificed,
and whence those of the higher classes also are invaded. Although
possessing fields of employment capable of remunerating if properly
cultivated, the lll,gliland fishermen and crofters are frequently in
destitution, requiring the intervention of public charity to avert
actual starvation.
Although Scotland boasts a number of charitable institutions, it
Possess e d no organization for aiding the industrious to raise them.
selves from destitution, or to prevent their falling Into depressed
circumstances on the failure of employment, until a number of in-
fluential and benevolent persons, in September, 1846, determined to
act upon the principle successfully carried out in England, of forming
a great national institution, which should seek to improve generally
the condition of the labouring casses, by various means adapted to
that end, and accordingly thel ,Scottish Patriotic ,Society was in-
stituted.
The distinguishing features of this society are, its non-political
and non-sectarian character, and its antagonism to pauperising ten-
dendes—its great objects being, to enable the poor to help them •
selves ; to develop the resources of the land, of the sea, and of the
colonies ; and to demonstrate how the labour of the otherwise un-
employed and indigent classes may be applied therein, so as to sup-
Port and remunerate themselves, thereby indirectly r elieving aid
benefiting the whole community. It must be evident, that if agi 1.
cultural and similar societies are useful to the intelligent, the
organization of the Patriotic Society is unspeakably more necessary
to the uninstructed and destitute.
The emergency is great, and the field of exertion a wide one, but
experience has already demonstrated, that the efforts of the Patriotic
Society are telling effectually where they are so much needed.
Hitherto the pecuniary means at its disposal have been too limited
to enable it to enter so extensively upon its labours as is necessary,
and its promoters confidently make the present appeal for extended
Means of usefulness. Every one is more or less directly interested in
the success of its attempts to improve the sanatory condition of the
humbler classes, and to raise them from mere paupers and con-
sumers, into the successful and relf-supporting producers of
food, as it is impossible for the Society to effect sanitary
Improvements in the d.velllngs of the humbler classes, and Is
augment the produce of the country, without benefiting the
other classes, who often become the v;ctims of pestilence, and
'naafi without such industrial improvements, sbmit to pay higher
prices for food, consequent upon numbers havinug to be supported in
idleness out of the general stock. That the tendency of the means
adopted by the Patriotic Society is to effect these Improvements, is
beyond all question, and it solicits the investigation or the intern-
_ tent community, the principles involved, not being matters of hull&
11.11 U, but lying at the very foundation of national prosperity and
safety.

OBJECTS.
I. To improve the husbandry of the crofters by the introduction of
better methods of cultivation.

Marriage requires the fulfilment of several conditions, iu order
that it may be really the cause of mutual happiness. Could the
veil, which covers the origin of domestic wretchedness, be raised,
and its true source in every instance disclosed, in how many could
lite traced to physical disqualifications and their attendant disap-
eointments. Excesses are always injurious ; the gift, which when
used in moderation is fraught with advantage, becomes, when
abused, the prolific source of mischief and of greater or less injury
to the constitutional and vital powers. The particular excesses. on
die nature and conseauence of which this Treatise professes to dilate,
are productive of greater severity of misery to the human frame,
than 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
their relative conditions in health and disease. it deservedly
requires the closest attention and study, for what subject can
be of more importance than the preservation of 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 vielous habits, whether acquired
In early life or from the follies of advanced age, while suffering
from their invariable consequences, unwisely entertains a tear of ap-
plying to a qualified physician for relief. Shame and the dread se
frequently, but erroneously entertained that these complaints are
beyond the roach of art, alike restrict him and prevent his seeking
or assistance where alone it can be procured. In acting thus, ke
forgets that accurate discrimination. i ascertaining the causes of

characteriselPa. the intelligent and practical physician, and to the
medical man who can show by his posse:sloe of the requisite legal
qualifications that he is entitled to esteem and respect in his profes-
sional pursuits, the utmost confidence should be extended. Dr.
LA'MERT has obtained the highest medical honours, as his diplomas
certify, and the great extent of his practice ter many years is a
suerautee for his professional experience, which has reference almost
solely to the treatment of these diseases.

ELECTION.
LANCASTER(FROSICORRESPONDENT.)
REJOICE-'CGS AT PRESTON. This borough, which
used to be formerly looked upon as a sort of " pocket
borough" for the Derby family, was in a state of gr, at
excitement throughout the whole of yesterday (Thurs-
day). As soon as the news of the defeat of Lord
Stanle)'s son for Lancaster arrived the streets were
crowded with small knots of politicians, congratulating
each calla on the dcath•blow to the Stanley influence in
this county. A band of music is now parading the
town, and while I asa writing the crowd are huzzaing at
the front of the office of the Preston Guardian, the
leading Liberal paper here. The result has come like
the shock of an earthquake on the Conservatives here,
as they never anticipated otherwise 4than that Mr.
Stanley would be returned; and it was thought that
having once secured his seat for the county town, there
would be a fair chance for his contesting the northern
division of the county, which hie father formerly re-
presented.
A little before five the Mayor declared the state of the
poll to be as follows:—
Armstrong ........................... 636
Stanley ................................. 620

Alajurity ..................... 16

—To Professor Holloway, Sir,--A youth in our employ
knocked his ankle so severely. that the most dangerous
symptoms were brought on, thereby rendering him to-
tally unable to walk or attend to his duties; many pre-
parations were applied, but all to no effect, at last he had
recourse to your invaluable ointment, when by the use of
a small pot, his ankle was perfectly cured, and the boy
became as active in walking and working as he was be-
tot G the disaster. Sold by all druggists and at Professor
Holloway's establishment, 244, Strand, London.
