FART 11. treats of the consequences resulting from excessive indal-
gence, and their lamentable effects on the system, producing mental
and bodily weakness, nervous excitement, and generative incapacity.
It is illustrated by Three Explanatory Engravings.

PART 111. treats of the diseases resulting from infection, either in
the primary or secondary form, and contains explicit directions for
their treatment. The consequences of early neglect and of the abuse
of mercury, are also clearly pointed out. This section is illustrated
by Seventeen Coloured Engravings.
PART IV. treats of the Prevention of Disease by a simple ap-
plication, by which the danger of infection is obviated. Its action
is simple but sure. It acts with the virus chemically, and destroys
its power on the system. This important part of the Work should
be read by every Yoang Man entering into life.
PAaT Y. is devoted to the consideration of marriage, and its
duties. The causes of unproductive union are also considered, and
the whole subject critically and philosophically inquired into.

THE NORTHERN MAILS.—A. considerable inconve-
nience has been for some time felt by the merchants of
Manchester and Liverpool, from the present postal
arrangements for the transmission of letters from these
great commercial centres to Glasgow and Edinburgh.
At present the first mail for the north leaves Manches-
ter at 4 A.m , arriving at Glasgow and Edinburgh at
2 P.M., while the box for the dispatch of the second mail
closes at 2 40 P.M., and the letters arrive at Glasgow
and Edinburgh at 2 A.M. on the following day. The
letters intended to be dispatched by the first mail con-
sequently lie at the Post-office here for six or eight hours
before their departure, while those conveyed by the
second mail undergo a similarly useless detention in the
post-offices at Glasgow and Edinburgh. Letters for the
second mail could be posted until 3 P.M. previously to
the opening of the Caledonian Railway, so that Man-
chester, as tar at least as this mail goes, has actually
been a sufferer by the increased facilities afforded by rail-
ways. The inconveniences of the present Post-office
arrangements appear to arise from the dispatch of the
northern mails from Manchester and Liverpool being
made to depend upon the arrival there of the mails from
London. The Commercial Association of Manchester,
therefore, in a memorial which they addressed to the
Postmaster-General on the 24th ult. suggested that
a distinct mail northward should be dispatched from
Manchester and Liverpool ; or that (which would be a
great convenience to the merchants of the metropolis as
well as of those of Manchester and Liverpool) a mail
should be dispatched from London at from one to two
o'clock, P.M., which might be joined by the Manchester
and Liverpool letters at Parkside, about seven or eight
o'clock on the same evening, and which would arrive at
Edinburgh and Glasgow about six o'clock the following
morning. By this means, the merchants of Manchester
and Liverpool would be allowed until six o'clock in the
evening, for the completion of their northern correspon-
dence. The receipt of this memorial has been acknow-
ledged, and its suggestions are stated to be under the
consideration of the Postmaster-General. Since the
memorial of the Manchester Commercial Association,
the subject has been taken up in Liverpool, and a me-
morial has been forwarded from that town, recommend.-
ing that the morning mail from London should be con-
veyed by the express train, which arrives at Liverpool at
ten minutes past three o'clock, P.M. They also recom-
mend that the train leaving London at five o'clock, P.M.
should proceed forward, to Edinburgh and Glasgow at
ordinary speed, so as to reach those places at seven
o'clock on the following morning. The letters could then be conveyed by the h Manc
alf-past eighthestr
o'clock, P.M. train to Warrington, to meet this train,
and so proceed onward to their destination.-111andester
