" We regard the work before us, The Silent Friend,' as a
work embracing most clear and practical views of a series of com-
plaints hitherto little understood, and passed over by the majority of
the Medical protession, for what reason we are at a losst o know.
We must, however, confess that a perusal of this work has left such
a favourable impression on our minds, that we not only recenasnend,
but cordially wish every one who is the victim of past folly, or suffer_
leg from indiscretion, to profit by the advice contained in Its pages."

The Authors of The Silent Friaavd,' 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
fall to recommend it to a careful perusai."—Era.

After the usual loyal toasts the MAYOR gave
" The Army and Navy," in proposing which, he said,
no Englishman could hear this toast without its
bringing to his recollection from the time of Cressy to
the crowning victory of Waterloo.—(Applause.) If
we had reason to be proud of these actions, we had no
less reason to be proud of those officers who had pro-
duced those glorious actions which had ended in that
celebrated treaty which our illustrious guest, Sir
Henry Pottinger, had concluded. He confessed, when
he saw in the public prints that the officers attached
to that expedition, and leading it, had ventured to at-
tack an empire which numbered among its military
forces 1,800,000 combatants, and that only with a
force which at no period exceeded 9,000 men of all

were line-of- battle ships, he thought we should all
agree that never at any period was the honour of the
liritith arms more brilliantly sustained. He had
never felt any sort 9f apprehension as to any attacks
upon us. He knew the stamina of Englishmen; and,
if ever the time should arrive, and he hoped it was far
distant, that we might place the most implicit reliance ,
