In a sealed Envelope.—This day is published,
APRACTICAL and POPULAR TREA-
TISE, adapted and written expressly for the USE of
the NON-MEDICAL READER, pointing out a successful
and never-failing mode of effectually Curing those dire Dis-
eases depicted in the works of Drs. Tissot, Solomon, Jordan,
Goss, and others. By WILLIAM HENRY CASTLE,
Surgeon. Illustrated with Cases.
This little work is not only distinguished but contra-distin-
guished from all others which have preceded it, its pages being
exclusively devoted to the curative department, and hence it
may be justly hailed as a great national desideratum. It con-
tains above one hundred choice recipes, adapted to various
stages of the complaint, which is divided into three distinct
heads' and progressive stages of treatment, viz.:-Ist, The
cleansing, or detergent ; 2dly, The strengthening, or tonic ;
and lastly, The alterative, or purifying. Into these three grand
divisions, theory suggested, and long experience has demon-
strated, the curative plan ought and must be divided.
The treatment of this disease has, for obvious reasons, been
hitherto confined to some cordial balm, occult tincture, or talis-
manic drops, which act merely as a dram—a temporary stimu-
lus, procured at the expense of the patient's future welfare.
The invalid suffering under mental depression and decay,
impotence, and a host of peculiar and inveterate infirmities,
cornprehended under nervous debility, will find this Pocket
Manual written expressly for his use, and adapted to his va-
rious wants.

The following are a few of the numerous testimonials this

tisement will only allow of being published :
The rage for books in all departments of Science, literature,
and the arts, was, we believe, never so prevalent as at the pre-
sent time. The unavoidable consequence of this is, that we
meet a very considerable proportion of indifferent, useless, and
even bad books. With the force of thin prejudice on our
minds, we with no little reluctance were induced to peruse
Messrs. Curtis's work, entitled "Manhood ;" nor did it re-
quire much perusal fully to satisfy us that the book was not
one of the common stam The scientific views taken by the
p.
authors of the source and origin of many of the most distressing
effects of certain depraved habits, fully establish their claim to
the character of experienced and judicious surgeons. To
quote passages from the work in proof of our assertion would
be departing from the established rules of the daily press. The
result, however, of our careful perusal of the work, has been
to impress us with a thorough confidence in the talent and

TORY REASONS FOR. CHANGE
OF -GOVERNMENT.
(From the Tal.let.)
We last week ventured to express our opinion that,
supposing the Tories to be justified in organizing and
maintaining a regular opposition to the Whig Govern-
ment, they were quite right in declining to pledge them-
selves on the recent measures of finance, and to make use
of their majority acquired by those measures, for the
purpose of carrying into effect their former plans of eject;
ing their opponents.
But the question still remains behind, how, and on
what principle were they justified in forming such an op-
position, in banding, themselves together to impede and
paralyse every act of the Government, and finally
throwing into confusion for the best part of a twelve-
month the public business of the country, for the pur-
pose of possessing themselves of the Ministerial benches
in both Houses of Parliament.
This question has two answers—as it concerns Eng
land, and as it concerns Ireland. So far as it concerns Ire-
land, we have touched upon the subject elsewhere. But
what answer must we give as regards England? We co•i-
fess that we have looked through all the great measures of
the Whig policy without discerning any tangible objection
to them, which the Tories—that is, those of them who are
to assume the responsibilities of office—dare to impeach,
on principle. Their utmost stretch of animosity carries
them no further than to condemn certain measures of
Administration, the ability or prudence displayed in cer-
tain individual acts, without expressing any opposition,
vehement or moderate, to their general course of policy.
Did Lord Palmerston send out, iii the first instance,
sufficiently detailed instructions to our agent in China ?
Was he (or was Mr. Balwer) sufficiently courteous to-
wards the baffled M. Thiers ? Were all the clauses in
the Cinada Union Act free from all possible objection ?
Was it right in Lord Melbourne to present Mr Owen
at Court, in ignorance of the particular tenets of his so-
cial philosophy ? Was Lord John Russell justified in
appointing a Socialist to the office of Registrar of Mar-
riages at Birmingham ? Was Sir John—now Lord—
Campbell in the right—considered in his prophetical
character of Attorney-General—publicly to boast of the
entire suppresion of Chartism two days before the out-
break of a rebellion, at which wounds were given and
blood shed ? These are the mighty articles of impeach-
ment which , have .formed the groundwork of the late
opposition.
Other points, indeed, have been insisted on in the
Tory journals, but with little sympathy from.the Tory
politicians. Among these the Poor-law stands most
prominent ; a law, we readily admit, most unjust and
condemnable in principle, and too often in practice ;
but yet a law as to which, whatever praise there may
be due for it belongs to the Whigs, and for all the
blame the Tories are entitled to a full and undiminished
moiety. The merit of the Poor-law--a great and
overwhelming merit—was this, that it cleansed out an
Augean stable of filthy abuse, injurious alike to the
rate-payer and the receiver of relief, and beneficial only
to rogues and swindlers ; that it introduced order
where there had been the foulest chaos ; that it placed
the administration of the law under a system of ma-
nagement, the details of 'which it is at any time easy
to correct and amend. It was a gigantic effort to
cure a deadly distemper, which no Tory physician
dare approach to lay his finger on. It was
a task for Hercules to do what the Whigs
have done in this matter. To reform what
they have done amiss in the matter is a task for a child
in comparison. To act with a little less severity ;
to employ the existing labour a little more exten-
sively; to use the workhouses a little more like alms-
houses for the decrepit and infirm ; to introduce gra-
dually the best and most economical mode of labour ;
these are changes of great and mighty importance indeed,
but yet order, arrangement, method, having been sub-
stituted by the Whigs for the last degree of disorder,
they are changes which require rather bowels of mercy,
and a reasonable amount of firmness to bring them
about, but no great reach of intellect, or display of offi-
cial courage. The entire merit of the law, then, belongs
to the Whigs. The blame, whatever there is evil in the
law, belongs to the Tories equally with the Whigs,
They We supported it throughout. They have ever
welcomed itlis their own House of Lords.'And their leader
in the House of Commons has declared himself unable
to find a substitute fur it. a fig larger share of
blame belongs to them for the detestable hypocrisy with
which they have used the unpopularity of the law to
servo their ends, while they have done nothing to miti-
gate its most revolting features.
A second Finegtion of principle on which they have
been attacked out of doors is the principle of what is
called " governing by Commissions," introducing central
management, tampering with local institutions,
In answer to the charge, we might say that the se,
cued Ministers have established the principle of muni-
pal goverm
nent in all the great towns of England and
Scotland, and ham against the unbroken strength of
the Tory Opposition, ropkeed, as far as they could, the
principle of local reproswit4oP4 thr OW virtual Parlia-
mentary franchise which was the glory of AP PWll.4mes•
But we go further ; we say that the first step in this
principle of centralization was taken by the author of the
Ilfetroperta# ,Ppfice Bill, who, by that successful experi-
ment, establishetl. the principle upon which the Whigs
have since endearonsed to 1.0 in one or two instances.
The author of that Bill W. 44 110-sPFP. Peel,
the present
Tory Prime Minister.
As to their Commissions for obtaining idoPTI4O34 mn
the condition of the people there is little need to speak.
They have done honestly and wisely in appointing these
Commissions, There will be little difference, we sus-
pect, between the two parties on this score, except, per-
haps, that the Tories will IJo their utmost to turn to
account the information which Whig CoininigNions have
scraped together, and having this fund of infosmattou in
hand, they will have less need to incur the imaginary
odium of now Commissions hereafter.
On the questism of free trade, for which the Whigs
have been so vehemently assaulted, the very Tory Pre-
mier is himself a free tradevr-an enthusiastic disciple of
Mr. Huskisson—an unrelenting though ggptipes enemy
of all prohibitions upon comMerPe and all PotfiPtiVe
monopolies.
In other departments of the Government we find the
most happy unanimity among the more respectable of the
Tory party as to the merits of the Whigs.
Just as the Whigs are leaving office, it is discovered
that Lord Melbourne, whose name has been the butt of
the foulest abuse, whose personal proceedings have fur-
nished an inexhaustible theme for malignant though
clumsy ridicule, and whose vigilant attendance at Wind.
sor Castle and Buckingham Palace has given rise to the
most rending shrieks from Tory prudery, has all along
—on the testimony of the Doke of Wellington--been
rendering the most essential service to the country in the
most delicate and important of his functions by his
sound political education of her Majesty.
Just as the Whigs are leaving qffice, the merits of
Lord Palmerston's foreign policy, which has steered this
country amidst unexampled difficulties and eomplioations,
without violating the peace of Europe on the one hand,
and, without surrendering one jot of the dignity and
honour of the empire pu the other, are suddenly brought
to light.
Just as the Whigs are leaving office, the extraordinary
merits of Lord'Cottenham burst in full blaze upon the
dazzled eyesight of his political opponents (as may be
seen in an extraordinary article in the Times of yester-
, day), who are burning with impatience to bestow upon
him some token of national recognition.
There is no pretence that the Whigs, the strenuous
opponents of the Anti-Church-rate agitation, and the
authors of that parson-fattening Act which goes by the
name of the Tithe Commutation Act, are in any degree
hostile to the best interests of the Anglican Church in
England.
There is no pretence that the temporizing policy of
Lord Melbourne is a whit more dangerous to the Church
of Scotland than the intrusive policy of Lord Aberdeen.
There is no pretence that the great Whig landlords,
with their eight-shilling duty, are one iota more adverse
to the interests of agriculture than the manufacturing
free-trader who is now the Tory Prime Minister ; who
will pledge himself as to the mode of protection to be
given to agriculture, but not to the amount • and who,
we entertain no doubt whatever, if he does substantiallyl
reduce the present sliding scale, will, in fact, diminish the
protection to agriculture far more than the Whigs are
now proposing to do.
So far as Great Britain is concerned, there is not the
shadow of a pretence for a change of Ministers on any
one point of principle. The open opposition of Parlia-
mentary Toryism has not been an opposition of principle
but of detail. The Whiggish unpopularity which has re-
ference to principle, is an unpopularity which the Tories
must inherit when they assume the reins oPGoverninent,
unless they are prepared in the basest manner to re-
nounce the principles which their leaders have hitherto
professed and acted on.

Mrs. Trollope's Charles Chesterfield, or,
The Youth of Genius " is now published, complete in
three volumes, doubtless to the great delight of all no-
vel-readers. The Naval and Military Gazette observes
that " INlrs. Trollope (even bearing in mind Widow
13arnaby herself) has never chosen a better subject for
the display of her great and varied pow2rs than in these
" Adventures of a Youth of Genius." We have perused
her pages with great admiration. At the variety, the
vigour, the individuality, and the truth of the portrait*
here placed before us, the invention and the dramatics
tact displayed in the incidents and the situations, the
forcible humour and cutting satire of many of the
scenes, (especially those connected with the literary co-
teries), and the remarkable originality displayed through-
out in the whole conception and execution of the work,
the whole has a strength and stamina about it which
bespeak for it a permanent place among the prose fic-
tions of the day. " The comic embellishments by Phiz
