Dr. Andrews also recommends its use as a preventive See his
reports in Nov. 1.411. He states that the tenacious sympathy of the

benefit to the consumer; and, further, recommends its universal

OPINIONS OF THE PRESS.

We regard the work before us, " The Silent Friend,' as a
work embracing most clear and practical views of a series of corn.
plaints hitherto little understood, and passed over by the majority of
the Medical profession, for what reason we are at a loss to know.
We must, however, confess that a perusal of this work has left such
a favourable impression on our minds, that we not only recommend,
but cordially wish every one who is the victim of past folly, or suffer.
ing from indiscretion, to profit by the advice contained in its pages."
—Age and Argus.
" The Authors of The Silent Friend,' seem to be thoroughly
conversant with the treatment of a class of complaints which are, we
fear, too prevalent in the present day. The perspicuous style in
which this book is written, and the valuable hints it conveys to
those who are apprehensive of entering the marriage state, cannot
fail to recommend it to a careful perusal."—Era.

During the past year loud and general have been
the vauntings and noastings of the Tories in this city,
that they would oust the Whigs from the corpora-
tion at this election. At the Tory feeds toasts of
the candidates and success to them have been drank
with uproarious applause. The registration was
warmly and attentively attended to by both parties—
the day of election looked forward to eagerly by the
doubtful men of both sides. The Whigs went quietly
on, confident of their own strength, relying on their
proper management of the city affairs for the support
of the rate-payers. The result has fully justified
them in that opinion. The only wards contested
were the Fourth, Fifth, and Sixth Wards, in all of
which the Tories received a sound flogging.
'The following is the result :
First Ward.—No opposition ; Edward Steward,
Esq , and Mr. John Baker, Tories.
Second Ward.—No opposition ; Wm. Freeman,
Esq. (Mayor), and Osborn Springfield, Esq., Whigs.
Third Ward.—No opposition ; John Godwin John-
son, Esq., and George Arthur Dye, Esq., Tories;
. Fourth Ward.—John Barwell, Esq., 117, IVhig;
Mr. C. R. Freeman, 117, Whig ; Mr. Benjamin
Cundall, 76, Tory ; and Mr. Henry Browne, 75,
Tory.

fifth Ward.—Mr. W. K. Farnell, 119, Whig ;
Samuel Big-mild, Esq., 66, Tory; Mr. James Hardy,
52, Tory.
Sixth Ward.—Mr. Richard Bullard, 183, Whig;
Mr. Win. Henry Woolbright, .182, Whig ; Mr. Hall
Browne, 121, Tory; and Mr. Henry Hindes, 120,
Tory.
Seventh Ward.—No opposition ; Thomas Osborn
Springfield, Esq., Whig, and J. Henry Tillett, Esq.,
Whig.
Eighth Ward.—Peter Finch, Esq., Whig, and
John Ferra Watson, Esq., Whig.
The Fourth Ward was not warmly contested, and
neither parties polled their full strength; but if they
had so done the Whigs would have had a much
larger majority than now. The Sixth Ward was
"the fight"—both parties had been strenuously exert-
ing themselves before and during the registration. At
the last election, through very bad management on
the part of the Whigs, they lost the ward, but this
year the candidates selected (more particularly Mr.
Bullard, the first appearance of that gentleman as a
candidate for corporation honours) threw terror into
the enemy's camp. The polling for the first hour
gave the Whigs a small majority. At this time the
Tories began their old game—five, six, and seven
pounds were given for a vote, and had not a reinforce-
ment of working men from other wards arrived at
the very nick of time Tory bribery might have suc-
ceeded, but the activity of Mr. Bullard and his band
of friends proved too much for it, and it gradually
gave way to the real feeling of the ward, in a tri-
umphant majority of 62 in favour of the Whigs.
After the elections the electors in the Whig inte-
rest in the various wards dined with their several
councillors, the principal meeting being at the
Norfolk Hotel, where 130 gentlemen, under the pre-
sidency of the Mayor, Wm. Freeman, Esq., spent a
delightful evening.
This is the eighth election under the Municipal
Act, and the Tories, who, when first they lost the
corporation, reckoned again on obtaining it in the first
three years, are now as far off as ever.

EXTRAORDINARY DISPATCH OF NEWSPAPERS
FROM THE GENERAL POST-OFFICE.--OR Saturday even-
ing one of the largest dispatches of -newspapers from
the Post-office in St. Martin's-le-Grand took place. So
great a glut of newspapers has not been known in the
General Post office since the memorable night of the co-
ronation of her Majesty the Queen, upon which occasion
it is estimated that at least 130,000 newspapers were
posted. The number on Saturday evening last did not
fall far short of that quantity.
A DISAGREEABLE HONEYMOON.—An inhabitant of
Desvres, who had been condemned for some offence to a
month's imprisonment, which he had never delivered
himself up to undergo, appeared a few days back before
the mayor, to go through the civil ceremony of mar-
riage. Scarcely had all the formalities been complied
with, when a gendarme, who had heard the man's name
pronounced, came up, and reminding him of the con-
demnation, requested him to follow him to prison. Great
was the uproar, but there was no help for the matter, and
the newly-married man was led away to pass the honey-
moon under lock and key.
