An erroneous impression exists that public itnnou. sztonee ts
on these disorders emanate only from unqualified persons,mcn
but as the new Medical Act provides that none but registered
practitioners shall assume any medical title, those that are
legally qualified can readily be distinguished—a point ofgreat
importance in cases where secrecy, confidence, and skill are
equally requisite.
In the new edition of `Self-Preservation,' facts of para
mount utility are brought together—facts appealing to the
prudence of all who are suffering from affections which in-
volve the enfeeblement and ultimate loss of those powers
without which man forfeits the dignity of nature, and sinks to
the most pitiable depths of physical and moral degradation,
In cases where the vital essences have been weakened by the
influences of tropical climates, by pernicious habits, indiscri-
minate excesses, improper diet, hardship, or by injudicieus
treatment, the means of cure adopted by the author, in con-
junction with the application of Local Galvanism, have gene-
rally been found successful, even in cases where recovery had
been pronounced impossible

DISSENTERS, THE NEW PARE LAMENT,
AND THE GOVERNMENT.

(To the Editors of the Freeman.)

Sirts,—Permit me to avail myself of your columns for the
purpose of bringing together some of the results of the late
general election, which may serve to guide the future pro-
ceedings of the friends of religious freedom.
As far as we are concerned we have shared doubtless in the
numerical losses which are acknowledged to have befallen
the Liberal party ; but our losses are neither so many nor so
important as those of the mere party, and they are counter-
balanced in our case by some considerations which do not
apply to " Ministry" and " Opposition."
I find, on comparing the results with its division lists,
that we have returned for England and Scotland alone, cer-
tainly, 260 " good men and true"—a larger number than
have, as yet, actually voted with us upon any division, and
who may, I believe, be depended on to vote our votes, irre •
spectively of the convenience of the Minister of the day. I
find also that, exclusive of what may be called neutral
changes, nearly 20 of oar gains have had the effect of dis-
placing as many of our staunchest opponents, while the ma-
jority of our losses consist of M.P.s who who did not show
themselves practically anxious to be regularly at their posts
on our divisions. It is to be observed, also, that the whole
character of the election addresse betoken an understanding
that it is no longer of use to make indefinite allusions to
civil and religious liberty. Even upon Church-rates the
" fair equivalent," "the exemption of Dissenters." " the
maintenance of the sacred edifice," have almost dropped out
of sight. Candidates who are not prepared to promise abo-
lition, say nothing.
It may be doubted whether there is much more in the alli-
ance said to be struck up between the Government and the
Irish Catholics, than the natural result of the hostility enter-
tained by that body to Lord John Russell ever since the
Ecclesiastical Titles Bill. Their absence, if necessary, from
any division likely to place that noble lord in power,
might, I imagine, be calculated upon quite independently
of any charter promisable to a Catholic University. But,
be this as it may, it is one of those incidents of the election
which are of more importance to party interests than to
those of religious liberty. As a body, the Irish Catholic
M.P.'s take less interest in any religious liberty question
not affecting the pecuniary interests of their own church
(when they usually vote wrong) than any section of the
house. While, during the late Parliament, they ought
never, according to ordinary calculation, to have brought
less than fifty votes to our assistance on any important di-
vision, and never had any difficulty in meeting Mr. Spooner
with sixty, their indifference on Church-rates, &c , was so I
much regarded as a matter of course, that they were not
expected to furnish twenty or, at the most, twenty-five
M.P.'s to the list of the Religious Liberty teller. Once,
indeed, under the influence of very unusual remonstrances,
they made an effort and brought up about forty votes to the
aid of Mr. Black; but whether they will do as much for Sir
John Trelawny at his next second reading, is generally
thought to depend mainly on their need of his assistance
for Mr. Fitzgerald's Catholic Oaths Bill. But, on the
whole, it may be taken as a pretty safe ealculation,"that any
gain made by the Church party under this head will not do
materially more than make up for the losses which they
have experienced elsewhere.
Looking to the above considerations, to the not few Con-
servatives who have pledged themselves to total abolition,
to the number who, for some time past, have made it a
rule not to vote against it, and to the hitherto unde-
cided Liberals who may be expected to follow
the new lead in our favour of Lord John Russell, the
results of the recent elections ought not to alarm us for
the soundness of our cause. In what precise shape the
question may next come up it is too soon to say. Sir John
Trelawny of course brings in his bill, and Lord John sup-
ports it. Lord Palmerston abstains from voting against it,
but makes no further sign, and is understood to have re-
sisted efforts from his more influential personal followers to
induce him to declare himself. Mr. Estcourt has promised
a bill of his own, the nature of which he has, not stated, but
which, if his own, will be not, slightly in advance of Mr.
Walpole's extraordinary production. Lord Stanley, again
is the only Cabinet Minister who has committed himself:
both in and out of office, to pure and simple abolition—not
voting for the measure of his own Government, and voting,
a few days after, in the majority with Sir J. Trelawny.
It will be impossible that there should not be a party divi-
sion, and it will be impossible for the advanced Liberal
leaders not to take a part of their own in the arrangements
which precede it. In these arrangements it ought to be
understood that in whatever constituencies there is a Libe-
ral party (whether county or borough), that party is always
mere or less composed of a Dissenting element, without
whose cordial concurrence it is impossible to win at an
election. The least, therefore, that can be offered by an
expectant Liberal Ministry is, that Church-rate Abolition
shall be a Cabinet question. It ought to be equally, of
course, that the bill for Abolishing Rates in Government
Schools, if not taken up by the Government, should receive
their cordial support. Our friends in the House nay be
well assured that their conduct will be approved out of doors,
tf they abstain from turning out the present Governmtnt
without explicit assurances on both these heads.
lam, Sir, your obedient servant,

The annual spring meeting of the East -Surrey
Agricultural Association for sheep shearing and
the exhibition of stock was held yesterday at
Croydon. In the afternoon about 60 gentlemen sat
down to dinner at the King's Arms Hotel. Mr. T.
Byron occupied the chair, and there were also pre-
sent the Hon. I. P. Locke King, M.P., the Rev. E.
B. Benyon, Mr. Cressingham, Mr. gutherland, Mr,
Drummond, Mr. Mortimer, and several of the lead-
ing agriculturists of the district.
The customary loyal toasts having been drunk,
Mr. SUTHERLAND, briefly proposed " the health
of the members for the eastern division of the
county," reminding them at agricultural meetings
they always lost sight of political differences.
Mr. ALCOCK, M.P., in responding, said it was
suite true that they differed very essentially upon
some measures, and it would be a very dull and
monotonous state of affairs if, upon every question
of interest connected with _Agriculture, politics,
religion, hunting, or shooting, they were all of one
opinion: If there were no differences of opinion
there would be no longer that spirit of emulation
or that reasonable jealousy and envy which was
essential to the wellbeing of any community in the
world. (Hear, hear.) On the Continent we saw a
magnificent nation, consisting of some 36,000,000
people, who called themselves the Germanic Con-
federation, differing most essentially among them-
selves in reference to the ordinary proceedings of
life, but the moment they had a common object in
which they were all interested, such as having to
oppose the army of France—savhich no deiibt they
would very shortly be called upon to do—the
whole 30 states of which the confederation con-
sisted became as one man. (Hear, hear.) Such
was also the case in England. They might differ
very considerably upon minor questions, but let
them have an opportunity of showing their patriot-
ism, and they would be found of one mind, ready
at any moment to enter the lists against any man
or nation who attempted anything derogatory to
the dignity and honour of their country. (Cheers.)
He saw with great satisfaction that they had
already established a corps of volunteer riflemen at
Croydon, and he thought they had done themselves
honour and credit in being among the foremost in
England to exhibit their patriotism. (Cheers.) It
was of the utmost importance that at the present
moment the people of England should unite in
establishing volunteer corps, in order to render
it perfectly certain that no attempt to invade
this country by any foreign nation could have the
most remote chance of success. If we possessed one,
two, or three hundred thousand riflemen, or even
50,000 or 60,000 good marksmen, it would be im-
possible for any hostile army to land and penetrate
for 10 miles into the country. (Cheers.) No foreign
army could ever land and form in readiness for
battle if they were liable to be harassed and made
targets of by a body of 50,000 or 100,000 picked
marksmen. (Hear, hear.) It was necessary,
however, that every rifle corps about to be esta-
blished should have a good practice ground to which
every man who had a taste for firearms could resort,
without running the risk of shooting his neighbour
or his neighbour's cow. (Hear, hear, and laughter.)
It was said that such were the facilities afforded in
these times of steam that France or any other
foreign country could embark and land troops upon
the shores of England in a few hours. He did not
believe that they could do anything of the kind.
What was the case in the late war in the Crimea ?
About 40,000 troops were landed in the Crimea in
June or July, 1854, but it was fire days after com-
mencing to land before they attempted to march.
(Hear, hear.) If that afforded.a proper criterion of
the difficulties attending the invasion of a hostile
country, it would be impossible for Russia, France,
or any other country to land 50,000 or 60,000 men,
and have them prepared to . penetrate into this
country, before every rifle corps could be brought
against them. For his own part he believed there
was no fear of invasion, but at thesarne time it was
necessary that we should be prepared for any
emergency that might arise. (Cheers.)
Mr. LOCKE KING, M.P., • also responded. He
referred to the great question of peace or war, and
said he was truly glad to find that it was a ques-
tion upon which they were all of one mind. He
believed they were all in favour of maintaining
peace so long as it could be maintained with safety
to the honour and the iliterests:,of-- tht -county.
(Cheers.) At the same time lie was not- he man to
wish for peace if he found that it could only be
maintained by an injury to that which was dear to
all Englishmen—the honour of their country.
(Cheers.) Of what good would it be to them to
maintain a peace at the sacrifice of their honour ?
He believed that a change had taken place in pub-
lic opinioa which was most satisfactory. In former
times England was looked upon as a most pug-
nacious nation, ready at any time to embark in a
war when any of the other nations of Europe were
at hostilities. But the experience which we had
since acquired had rendered us much wiser. We
had no reason to seek, as we used to do in former
times, for territorial aggrandisement, for we knew
very well that an increase of territory would be a
source of weakness to us, and not of power—that
it would not add to our wealth, but, on the con-
trary, to our poverty. (Hear, hear.) No doubt,
war was sometimes necessary, but he sincerely
trusted that such would not be the case now ; and
to show one among the many horrors of war he
would mention a remarkable circumstance con- •
netted with the French nation which was once
told him when travelling in France by a gentle-
man who was a most profound philosopher. It
was a notorious fact that the French nation had
very much deteriorated of late years, and that very
great difficulty was experienced in reinforcing the
ranks of the army by men of the same stature
and calibre as the troops of former years.
The geatleman to whom he alluded—an ex-
perienced Frenchman, thoroughly conversant with
the matter—told him that when the Government
were compelled to have recourse to conscription
they were constantly obliged to lower the standard.
The reason assigned for it was that in the great
war of Napoleon the best men were continually
taken, and absorbed, and destroyed. That ex-
plained how it was that the present class of
Frenchmen was so inferior. All the best men were
draughted into the army and killed in the wars,
the cripples and those not fit for warlike purposes
being the only persons left at home, and from that
class were the present race of Frenchmen descended.
(Laughter and cheers.) Gentlemen might laugh,
but they might depend upon it that there was a
great deal of truth in the statement, and, for him-
self, he fully believed that the deterioration of the
physical condition of a nation was one of the curses
which war inflicted upon a country. (Hear, hear.)
In speaking of the question of territorial aggran-
disement, he could not forget how completely peace
had not only changed the national feeling, but the
feelings of individuals also. Not many years ago
the great ambition of every squire was to add to
his territory. In those days an estate descended
from father to son in very much the same con-
dition as it had descended for ages. A far different
state of things now existed. Every landlord was
actually coerced 'by the tenant farmer into im-
proving his property. No tenant farmer worth
owning as a tenant farmer would take or rent from
a landlord an estate which had not been improved.
(Hear, hear.) The landlord, if he had money, was
obliged to spend it upon his estate, and if lie
had not money he was obliged to raise it some-
where in order to prevent his property from be-
coming a source of poverty, instead of wealth to him.
The great body of tenant farmers throughout the
country were greatly changed from what they were
formerly. Not many years ago the worse farmer a
man was the more land lie coveted. He went and
scratched over a large number of acres, and the
result was that he only got a very poor return
from them. He knew now that he must not only
improve his farm, but must have capital to go on
with, and that whatever he cultivated he must
cultivate well. Improvement in this respect might
be now traced from the landlord even down to the
labourer. The round•frocked farmers of olden time
hated an educated labourer, and believed that
education was the worst thing that could exist.
But what was the case now ? The labourer had
learned instead of scratching over the land to
become a neat farmer, and received wages in pro-
portion to his skill. (Hear, hear.) There were
many other questions connected with the agricul-
tural interest which the farmers would do well to
study and think over for themselves ; for he believed
the tenant
theyf wouldarmets,
onlyt in
as abaly,wuonuilodu be
ask
euvery
powerful
things in reason. What they ought now to aim at
was to get the greatest possible amount of freedom
for the soil. There ought to be greater freedom
and greater simplicity in the process of transferring
land from one person to another, and the tenant
farmers ought to endeavour to obtain some more
simple and comprehensive system of leases—leases
easily understood, instead of the old lease which
no one except a lawyer could comprehend. (Hear,
hear.) Then, again, there existed throughout a
great part of Surrey a system of valuation which
was the most injurious that could possibly be devised.

As it now operated, the worse the outgoing tenant
the more he extracted from the incoming tenant,
while the really good farmer went entirely unre-
warded. All these were questions which the
agriculturists ought Seriously to consider, in order
to see if they could not introduce a better state of
things. - He believed if they did that they would
do a great amount of good, not only to themselves,
but to the landowners also. (Hear, hear.) With
regard to the laws which affected agriculture, he
took some credit to himself for having instituted
an inquiry into the statute Book, so as. to ascertain
what the laws were which related to agriculture.
By an old statute of Henry VIII. he found that the
law limited the number of sheep which a farmer
might keep, and also prohibited a tenant farmer
from having more than two farms belonging to the
same landowner. That statute, ho was glad to
say, we had repealed, but he had no doubt there
w(yre many others which, though obsolete, might
be resuscitated from time to time to the great in-
jury of the agriculturists. (Hear, hear.) There
was only one other subject to which he would refer
before concluding his remarks-7-nan2ely, the sub-
ject of agricultural fixtures. 'What could be more
absurd than to say that the tenant who put up any
building in order .to enable him to carry on his
business as a farmer when he quitted the farm
should not be allowed to remove it, unless, by
resorting to a kind of legal quibble; he had severed
it .from the .freetiold by erecting it upon posts ?
(Hear, hear.) He thought the tenant ought to be
allowed te erect what buildings he liked, and to
take them away when he left, :provided that in
doing so he did no-injury to the property of
,his-
landlord. (Hear, hear.) Mr. Locke King con
eluded by proposing " The health of the :chair,
man." (Cheers.)
Several other toasts having been drunk, the pro.
ceedings terminated.
