AN HISTORICAL and PRACTICAL
TREATISE on SYPHILIS, its Consequences, on Stric-
tures, Eruptions, Nodes, and Nocturnal Pains, so frequently mis-
taken for Rheumatism. These subjects are illustrated by a variety
of highly interesting cases, together with the miseries of a secret
vice. so long and so unhappily pursued by the youth of both sexes.
In the one it will be found an unfailing source of barrenness, in
the other have its ravages fatally developed by a distressing state
of debility which, if not timely remedied, terminates in impotency
the.," are its remote and ultimate effects ; whilst Consumption,
Loss of :Muscular Power, and various other 'complaints, usually
characterise the earlier stages of these distressing diseases, for
Cure of which the Author has laid down a plan of treatment which,
during his experience of upwards of thirty-five years' extensive
practice, has invariably proved successful ; with concluding remarks
on the evils resulting from attempts at self cure.

" Amongst the numerous medical and surgical works of the day,
we consider that written by Dr. Courtenay on Syphilis and other
frequently fatal complaints, to be worthy of the highest encomiums,
and justly deserving the serious attention of all those persons who
may unfortunately happen to be afflicted with the maladies which
form the subject of this very interesting publication. The lumi-
nous views taken of these diseases, together with the important
warnings against excesses, entitle this work to great praise; and
we may add, as a further recommendation, that it is written with
much delicacy and morality."—lnspector and Literary Review.

GREAT Tort.—Our citizens had the high gratifi-
cation of hearing the noble bell strike twelve at noon on Friday
week. The blue-coat school boys, stationed on their emi-
nence, gave three loud huzzas when the last note had struck,
and the bells of every parish immediately commenced ringing,
and pealed throughout the day. The boys were afterwards
regaled with buns made in the shape of Great Tom, and a glass
of sherry each, in the Subdean's yard. A large party of gen-
tlemen dined in the evening at the Subdean's, all the officers
of the cathedral being present as the entertainment. On Sun-
day morning the citizens had a still higher treat : the metallic
giant was rung, a feat not performed with the old bell during
many of the latter years of his time ; and had not the new bell
been hung in the great tower, the safety of " raising" (as the
ringers phrase it) so heavy a body would have been question-
abl e. —Lincoln Observer.

A French Journal observes—" The lottery has now
.disappeared for ever, notwithstanding a last effort made to keep
it. The monopoly of the gambling-houses has received a
vi-
gorous attack, which we hope will be followed by a decisive
attack ; and, as it is defended with the same weapons as the
lottery and the other evils pretended to be necessary ones, it
must in the end fall in like manner."

The polling was appointed to commence at nine o'clock
this morning (Thursday), and precisely at that hour the
doors of the Town-hall were thrown open. The Blue•
and the Yellows came up in very large parties, preceded by
bands of music, and colours flying—many of which were
exceedingly handsome. The different parties rushed into
the ball when the doors were opened, and in a short time
the room was nearly filled. As fast as the poll-clerks could
enter the names, the votes were given. Neither party at
first appeared to gain a majority among the freemen, for
the moment one vote was given for Morrison and Wason,
another was instantly tendered for Broke and Holmes.
Edward Bolton Finch, the person whose name has been so
often alluded to in the proceedings before the Committee of
the House of Commons, quietly mixed among the freemen,
and was one of the first to give his vote for Broke and
Holmes. He was not recognised until his vote had been
received, when a gentleman engaged on the part of Morri-
son and Wason made an objection to him, on the ground
that his name having been struck off the list of voters by
the Committee of the House of Commons, he was not
qualified to vote. " I have voted," exclaimed Finch. " I'll
have your name struck out," said the agent for the candi-
dates. " You shan't, Sir," replied Finch ; " I defy you—
I defy you to do so," and waving his hat, he exclaimed,
" Hurra for Broke and Holmes," and left the hall.

---....—
The polling was carried on with great spirit, and in the
first hour Mr. Morrison and Mr. Wason were 42 a head ;
that majority was increased to 86 in another half hour; and
at eleven o'clock it was again increased to 100. At half-
past eleven the numbers stood thus—
Morrison
Wason
.The constituency at the last registration amounted to
1,209, and since that time about 100 have been disfran-
chised ; some for non-payment of rates, some in conse-
quence of removals, and some are unable to vote on ac-
count of being in Newgate, so that taking into considera-
tion the number who have voted, there remained at half-
past eleven o'clock only about 400 electors to proceed to the
poll.
At a quarter to one o'clock the numbers were—
Morrison
Wason
At four o'clock the poll closed for the day, when the
numbers stood thus—

Morrison
I
Wason
Giving Mr. Morrison a majority of 96 over Colonel Broke,
and Mr. Wason a majority of 104 over Mr. Holmes.
There are 318 burgesses in the town, of whom 292 voted
this day, 144 for Mr. Morrison and Mr. Wason, 148 for
Colonel Broke and Mr. Holmes.
Colonel BROKE said that his Hon. Colleague and him-
self had come forward on those principles which were sure
to receive the approbation of every honest elector in the
kingdom, and to give an opportunity to every elector in the
borough to record his vote. Having come forward on those
public principles, notwithstanding the numbers were against
them, they would not retire, but give every elector the
opportunity of recording his vote.—(Cheering.)
The multitude then left the Hall. Mr. Morrison and
Mr. Wason afterwards addressed the people from the bill.
