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 :he mated—all sustain.
In kindly spirit, herein counsel's giv'n,
Ilow kealth, 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 contained 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, fer they tell of matters every living 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 lik e advantages on our offspring
to follow, and finally by the cultivation Di' 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
of God's creations.
The author's justification for this seeming eulogy of his own writ-
ings, and the avowal of their integrity of purpose, must be measured
by their perusal—his accredited qualifications guarantee that the
topics broached involve his legitimate study and pursuit.

the treatment of the various disorders arising from the follies and
frailties of early indiscretion. The engravings are an invaluable ad-

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-

shaving has entailed upon your chins ?" then hasten and try
Ross and Sons' newly-invented Railway Strop ; so named, as it
enables you to shave yourself at a railway pace, and with as little
friction, making even the commonest razor cut well. The composi-

ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH ON THE MIDLAND COMPANY'S
LINE.—The telegraph between Birmingham and Derby has
just been completed. The distance is 41 miles, and the
',thole of the wires have been erected under the superinten-
dence of Mr. Joseph. This completes the telegraph on the
entire of the Midland line from Leeds to Birmingham, and
from Derby to Nottingham and Rugby—with the exception
of the want of a few instruments on the road stations be-
tween Birmingham and Derby. The communication is per•
fect, and constitutes another wonder in this wonder-working
age. The estimated cost of the whole telegraph is about
40,0001. Sheffield Independent.
Patez OF BREAD IN GLASGOW.—Since the repeal of
the corn-laws, and even previous thereto, the bakers in
different parts of the country, as well as those of them in this
city, who do not belong to what is termed the "corporation,"
had lowered the price of bread in proportion to the fall in the
price of wheat. The 41b. fine loaf has been selling for more
than a month in almost, if not all, the provision shops in and
about town, for 7d.—household do. 6d. Mark, then, the
modesty of the following announcement which appears this
week in most of the Glasgow papers :—" At a meeting of
the Incorporation of Bakers of Glasgow, held on Friday, in
the Trades' Hall, it was agreed to reduce the price of the
41b. loaf, first quality to 7d. ; and the second quality to 6d."
This is like putting the cart before the horse, seeing that
this body of incorporate bakers had, for some time previously,
been selling their bread to shopkeepers at such a rate as
enabled the latter to retail it again ate 6d. and e
to ad 7d. per
the d 41b.
loaf, with a remanefating profit; whil, strang,
shops was 7d. and Bd. for the very

same kind of bread I Tile
our good city would do well to follow the example set them
by the better bred bakers of Galashiels, The Border Watch
states that " the bakers of Galashiels have reduced the price
'of the fine four-pound loaf to sixpence, and that of the second
ditto to fivepence. At one establishment in the town the
tine loaf is sold at fivepence-halfpennv, being, we believe, the
cheapest in the United liingdom.".--Glas,gow Citizen.

THE BENTINCK DEMONSTRA-
TION.

KING'S LYNN, TUESDAY NIGHT:—On Tuesday a
public dinner was given to Lord George Bentinck by
his constituents in this town and a large body of the
agriculturists of the county of Norfolk, to t, stify their
approbation of the ability and zeal displayed by his
Lordship in his opposition to the free trade measures of
the late Government. The entertainments took place
in a long, low-roofed and extremely narrow building,
recently erected as a Market-house. Nearly 800 sat
down to a very good dinner su plied by Mr. Barnes,
of the Crown, and M. Culyer, of the Duke's Head
Hotels.
The Earl of Orford, High Steward of the town, offi-
ciated as Chairman; supported on the right by Lori G.
Bentinck, M.P., the Marquis of Granby, M.P., Major
Beresford, M.P . and the Rev. J. Bowen; on the left by
the Duke of Richmond, Lord Sondes, Mr. Disraeli, M.P.,
W. Miles, M.P., and Sir 11. Berney. The Vice-chair
was filled by Mr. J. Cobon, who was supported on the
right by Mr. Bagge, M.P., Sir J. Tyrrell, M.P., Mr. G.
Hudson, M.P.; and on the left by Mr. G. Wodehouse,
M.P. and Mr. Sergeant Byles.
The usual loyal and national toastshaving been drunk,
The CHAIRMAN rose, and in an eloquent speech pro-
posed " the health of the Noble Lord the Member for
Lynn, Lord George Bentinck."
The most deafening cheers followed this toast ; they
were renewed and renewed again, and when dying away,
were again aroused with " one cheer more."
Lord G. BENTINCK spoke as follows :—lf the recep-
tion which you have given me could for a moment by
me be taken as a compliment entirely personal to my-
self, I can assure you I should feel abashed and ut-
terly overwhelmed by the overpowering sense of your
kindness. But when I look to the feelings with which
you have greeted me as the voice of this country—
(Cheers)—that the yeomanry and people of England
will not sit down in silence, and in peace allow them-
selves to be trampled on by anyllikster, by any
would-be dictator—(Cheers)—far from being over-
powered, far from being overwhelmed, I feel excited and
roused to new exertions, to see justice done to those in-
terests which have of late been trampled upon.—
(Cheers.) My Noble Friend, the Lord High Steward of
this ancient town, has observed to you that when this
day year we heard the Prime Minister of England say
that a repeal of the corn-laws would be tantamount to a
social revolution, little could it be imagined that we
should be assembled here to-day, having seen that mea-
sure carried by that same Prime Minister.—(Cheers.)
I have said, I might well feel abashed if the demonstra-
tion that-has been made were personal to myself, stand-
ing as I do in the presence of so many older soldiers in
the cause—to me who have made no sacrifice for you—
to me who have been but a few months in your service,
engaged in an exciting campaign, whilst I stand
by my Noble Friend who for thirty years has fought
in the same cause, and is now made a martyr by the
Prime Minister of England for his constituency, for his
fidelity to those principles which that Minister has so
shamelessly abandoned.—(Loud cheers.) Speaking in
King's Lynn, and in the county of Norfolk, I will say
that my Noble Friend's was the inheritance of the Lord-
Lieutenancy of this county—(Cheers)—but because he
was true to his principles, because he was true to your
interests, because he was true to those principles which
heretofore Sir Robert Peel had endeavoured so success-
fully and with so much eloquence to instil into our
minds, my Noble Friend was cashiered, and the
Lord-Lieutenancy was allowed to remain vacant
till a new Government was enabled to ap-
point a successor of different politics.—(Cheers.) I
stand also in the presence of my Noble Friend, the Duke
of Richmond.—(Cheers.) Little credit have I a right to
take, standing in the presence of my Noble Friend, who
for these long years has been fighting this battle. I who
came but at the 11 th hour into the vineyard ; I who
came up as the Prussians did at the end of the day,
might be well abashed in the presence of my Noble
Friend. I stand too in the presence of my Noble Friend
the member for Leicester, the Marquis of Granby,
who has sacrificed power and distinction for
the sake of his principles, and whose talents,
far superior to mine, have only been kept
back by that modesty which a sense of indignation
at the injustice used towards you had overcome. Well
might I also feel some diffidence in rising to acknowledge
this toast. I thank you for the manner in which you
have received me in the presence of my Hon. Friend the
Member for. Shrewsbury—(Cheers)—whose powerful
eloquence, unequalled in the present House of Commons,
has done far more than anything I have done to defeat
the Minister that has betrayed you.—(Loud cheers.)
My Noble Friend the Lord High Steward referred to
my Hon. Friend, when he said that he early discovered
the treachery of the late Prime Minister. I confess I
was one who thought it was a calumny, when, twelve
months ago, my Hon. Friend the Member for Shrewsbury,
with far more sagacity, with far more penetration than
I possessed, told the House of Commons that a Con-
servative Government, at the head of which stood Sir
Robert Peel, was neither more nor less than an organised
'hypocrisy.—(Loud cheers.) 'I am not here to fight the
battle of the corn-laws over again. Standing in the
presence of the farmers of England, it would be a work
of supererogation indeed if I were to waste time by trying
to persuade you that admitting the corn of foreign coun-
tries into competition with yours was likely to improve
your condition. I will not enter into discussion on this
head ; suffice it to say that in the month of November
last, when, as my Noble Friend said, the whole country
was prospering, when farmers were getting good re •
turns for their grain, when the people were better em-
ployed and at better wages than ever was known, when
trade was improving and increasing to an amount never
before known, whilst population was increasing also, but
bankruptcies were diminishing, when new houses were
• •
extending, the poor-houses emptying, wealth increasing,
pauperism diminishing—the price of wheat concurrently
with all that prosperity was, for the best wheat 705., and
between 40s. and 50s. for the inferior. I need not tell
you, when the price is now 565. for the best, and for the
inferior qualities 285., that this measure of free trade is
one of ruin to the farmers of England. --(Cheers.) I
need not tell you, who know what taxes you have to bear.
that it is not possible that you should compete with the un-
taxed countries of Europe and America.—(Cheers.) We
were told a little before Easter that we, the protec-
tionists, were standing in the light of the farmers of Eng-
land, by delaying the settlement of this measure. A
Noble Friend of mine, even the Member for North
Lincolnshire, told us that the farmers of England
wished to see the question speedily settled, and that
it was only necessary to let in the fine wheats
of Dantzic, and, the fine flour of America, to
mix with your damp wheats of 1845, in order to enable
you to sell your damp wheats, which were unsaleable
without that mixture. I took the liberty of saying thatyou,
_ _

• -
the farmers of England would be justly liable to the
charge made once against you by Lord John Russell,
that you were as dull as the clods you break, if you could
be persuaded that letting in 2,000,000 quarters of fine
wheat would raise the price of your produce. However,
unabashed, I was told I was no true friend to

,
the agricultural interest. I continued to fight the
battle, and now you are able to judge between me
and my Lord Wersley.—(Cheers.) • I believe I
may say that, as 2,000,000 quarters of fine wheat
have been admitted into competition with yours at 4s.
a quarter, the price of your wheat has fallen from 10s.
to 18s. per quarter. Is it nothing that we, the pro-
tectionists, for three months, by obstinacy if you will,
or by perseverance, warded off the blow, and left to
you the monopoly of the English market for three en-
tire months ?—(Cheers.) We are told by Sir Robert
Peel that the free air of competition is requisite to
rouse you to exertion—(Great laughter)—and so I sup-
pose that a reduction of 10s., if no more, per quarter
upon the price of the 16,000,000 quarters of wheat you
annually grow, deducting from your pockets 8,000,0001.
a-year is likely to prove for the benefit of the farmers of
England.—(Cheers.) Well, but we were told by Mr.
Cobden about the same period of the session that the towns
must govern England. Sir R. Peel did or did not cheer
that sentiment—l eare not now whether he cheered it or
not ; but this I know, that since that period he had
informed the country that it was not the potato famine in
Ireland, that it was not the wheat famine in this coun-
try, but it was Mr. Cobden—it was the untiring zeal,
the powerful reasoning, the eloquent speeches, the more
eloquent because unadorned, of Mr. Cobden, that in-
duced him to abolish the corn-laws; and that the glory of
it belongs to Richard Cobden. Well then, if the glory of
the measure belongs to Richard Cobden, and if Richard
Cobden is of opinion that thenceforth the towns are
to govern England, a sentiment re-echoed by friend
Bright—(Cheers)—who has told you that the
cotton districts of Lancashire and the West Riding
of Yorkshire must thenceforth govern England,
I think we know pretty well with whom we should
have had to deal, if we had allowed Sir R. Peel to con-
tinue Minister.—(Cheers.) I stand before you to ask
your judgment upon me and my friends—whether we
have or have not done the will of the people of Eng-
land, when we drove Sir Robert Peel from power ?
(Cheers.) Well, but the object of my meeting you here
to-day is not so much to go back to the past, as to look
forward to the future.—(Cheers.) The great end of that
party which owns for its leader Lord Stanley—(Cheers)
—is first to recover the protection we have lost—(Loud
cheers) —butfailing that, to seek compensation in relieving
the agricultural interest from the peculiar burdens they
bear. Now,, for the first matter, the recovery of the
protection to native industry, which we have lost; allow
me to remind you who had the franchise in 1841, retain
the franchise now, and that you, the yeomanry of Eng-
land, who in 1841 sent a majority of 390 to the House
of Commons to maintain protection to British indus-
try, exceeding Bs. per quarter on wheat—you who sent
a majority of 390 to retain protection to our colo-
nial iuterests, and to repress slavery and the slave trade,
still possess the franchise now, and it is only for you to
exercise it—it is only for you to prove, that if Sir R. Peel
is fickle, you are constant—(Cheers)—and the day cannot
be long distant when you must recover that which you
have lost.—(Loud cheers.) But to do this, you must
follow the example of South Nottinghamshire, of
Gloucestershire, and Dorsetshire.—(Cheers.) You, the
farmers of England, must dt, the work; you must not
trust to your landlords. It was not the landlords of
South Notts, but the tenant farmers and free-
holders that carried the day ; without attorneys,
without agents, without solicitors they achieved
the victory themselves.—(Cheers.) And if you have
the same spirit which I believe you to have, if
