" The various positions of Lover, Husband, ant Parent, the in-
herent privileges of mankind, are frequently marred and prevented
through the follies and frailties of early indiscretions. To suck, among
ethers, this Essay addresses itself; and by its perusal many questions
may be satisfactorily adjusted that admit of no appeal even to the
most confidential friend."—Stafford Gazette.
" Long experience In the treatment of a class of diseases hitherto
neglected and most imperfectly understood by the great bulk of the
medical profession, has enabled the writer to prove that there arc
concealed causes of Nervous Debility in existence, where the mere
routine practitioner would never dream of finding them ; traceable
to certain habits, forming the most secret, yet deadly, and Rita'
springs of domestic misery, and premature mortality."—Wakeileld

ARRIVAL of the INDEPENDENCE.
SEVEN DAYS LATER FROM THE UNITED
STATES.

LIVERPOOL, MONDAY, APRIL 2ti.
Another arrival from New York, the Independence,
Captain Allen, with advices to the morning of the Bth,
being seven days in advance of the vessel which came
up on Saturday, arrived here to-day.
The most important news by this arrival relates to
the affairs of Mexico. The Minister of that country
had left New York, and taken shipping for Vera Cruz,
and he openly proclaimed his belief that a rupture be-
tween the two countries was inevitable. The tone of the
Mexican journals is very bitter towards the United
States, and the American President, alarmed at the
position of affairs, had dispatched a person to
that country for the purpose of ascertaining
whether diplomatic relations could not be renewed. The
party alluded to does not go in an official character, and
the American Government may either disavow or ac-
knowledge his agency, according to its success or other-
wise. This is the gossip at Washington.
The news of the resolutions having passed the Ame-
rican House of Representatives had been very coolly re-
ceived, it will be remembered, in Texas. Since then,
the fact of the measure having passed the Senate, and
received the signature of President Polk, had reached
that country, and great was the joy of the people thereat.
The city of Galveston was illuminated, a salute of 100-
guns was given, and other demonstrations of popular
sympathy took place. All this contrasts strongly with,
the previous accounts which represented the bulk
of the Texians as being either indifferent
about, or opppsed to, the annexation. Con-
gress, however, was on the point of meeting,
to discuss the terms proposed by the United
States, and nothing definitive• will be known until the
proceedings of that body reach us. Dispatches from the
British Government to our Minister at Texas had
been received ; and the New Orleans papers, in noticing
the circumstance, presume to know all about their con-
tents, and give utterance, in consequence, to a great
amount of nonsense.

The trial of Santa Anna had not taken place, but was on
the eve of doing so. He was to be tried by both Houses
of Congress, and intended to make his defence in writing.
A rumour was current that he had escaped from prison,
and had fled the country.
Lord Metcalfe, in closing the Canadian Parliament,
referred to an Act which passed the United States
Congress in the last session " which way seriously
affect the interests of the province." The subject had
been submitted, he sass, to the Queen's Ministers, and
will receive their earnest attention.

The business accounts by this arrival are encouraging.
At New Orleans, the activity in cotton continued. The
rate of exchange at New York on England was 104.

off; the only effectual remedy, besides shaving the head,
is the use of the two above. named articles, applied al-
ternately—the botanic water to cleanse the roots from
scurf and as a stimulant, and the bear's grease as a
nourisher. If any further evidence was required of the
virtues of bear's grease for renovating and pre;erving
the hair, Mr. Catlin's account of the quantity used, and
the length of hair obtained by some of the Forth Am.-
rican Indians, would be a sufficient answer. Ross and
Sons, 119 and 120, Bishopsgate-street, who first intro-
duced the use of bear's grease in this country, end who
fat and kill the animals, recommend the public to pur-
chase none other but with their names and address
printed on the Fot, or the chances are their obtaining a
spurious article. All vegetable oils applied to the hair
are worse than useless.

Spring with its effects on the complexion and con-
stitution generally.—The system of every person is
more or less affected at this period of the year, but 'to
obviate these seeming natural accompaniments to - a
climate like our own, has been a subject for study
hitherto unfathomed by even our most eminent physi-
cians and practitioners. An article has, however, been
recently imported into this country from China, and is
fast gaining celebrity, which proves to be a never-fail-
ing obviate to cutaneous afflictions generally. The
substance is a white powder prepared from herbs only,
of a most harmless nature, and is called by the Chinese
" Meen Fun" or Celestial: Skin Powder. Those who
have not yet experienced the comfort of its application
