OPINIONS OF THE PRPSS.

"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 profession, for what reason we are at a loss to know.
Wemust, 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
tho..ie who are apprehensive of entering the marriage state, cannot
fail to recommend it to a careful perusal."—Era.

On the 19th, the ratifications of the treaty of com-
merce and of navigation, concluded on the Ist of Sep-
tember, between Belgium and the German Zollve-
rein, were exchanged at the office of the Minister of
Foreign Affairs at Brussels. The treaty is as fol-
lows :
"In the name of the Most Holy Trinity !—His
Majesty the King of the Belgians on one side, and
his Majesty the King of Prussia, acting in his own
name as well as for the other countries and portions
of sovereign countries comprised in his system of cus-
toms and imposts, viz. :—The Grand Duchy of Lux-
emburg, the districts (enclaves) of the Grand Duchy
of Mecklenburg, Rossow, Nebzeband, and Schoen-
berg, which are surrounded by the other States ; the
Principality of Binkenfield of the Grand Duchy of
Oldenburg; the Duchy of Anthalt-Coethen, of An-
thalt-Dessan, and of Anhault Bernbourg ; the Prin-
cipalities of Waldeck and of Pymont ; the Princi-
pality of Lippe and the Grand Bailiwick of Meisen-
helm of the Landgraveship of Hesse and of the Ger-
man Commerce (Zollverein), viz., the Crown of Ba-
varia, the Crown of Saxony, and the Crown of Wur-
temburg ; and not only for them, but also for the
Principalities of Hohenzollern-Heekingen, and of
Hohenzollern-Sigmaringen ; the Grand Duchy of
Baden, the Electorate of Hesse, the Grand Duchy,
of Hesse ; and not only for it, but also for the Baili-
wick of Elembourg, of the Landgraveship of Hesse,
the States forming the Associations of customs and
commerce of Thuringen, viz.:—The Grand Duchy of
Saxony, the Duchies of Saxe-Meiningen, of Saze-
Altenbourg, and of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha; the
Principalities of Schwartzburg Rudolstadt and of
Schwartzburg Sonderhausen, of Reuss Greitz, of
Reuss Schlietz, and of Reuss Lobenstein and Ebers-
dorf; the Duchy of Brunswick, the Duchy of
Nassau, and the free city of Frankfort, on the other
part;
" Being equally animated with the desire of quickly
establishing between Belgium and the Zollverein a
state of things comformable to their reciprocal com-
mercial interests, and of establishing their relations
of navigation and of commerce, on lasting bases,
which they reserve to themselves to extend by their
mutual concessions, have, with this end in view,
agreed to enter into negotiations, and have named for
their respective plenipotentiaries, viz. :—his Majesty
the King of the Belgians, Lieutenant-General Count
Goblet d'Alviella, his Aide-de-Camp, and Minister of
State and of Foreign Affairs, &c. ; his Majesty the
King of Prussia, Baron d'Arnim, his Minister
Plenipotentiary at the Court of the King of the Bel
gians, &c.; who, after having exchanged their full
powers, and found them in due form, have agreed
upon the following articles :
"Art. 1. Ships belonging to Belgium, which shall
enter with ballast or cargoes into the ports of Prussia,
or into one of the ports of the other States of the Zoll-
verein, or which shall leave them ; and on the other
side, ships belonging to Prussia, or to one of the
States of the Zollverein, which shall enter, either
with ballast or cargoes, into the ports of Belgium, or
leave the same, whatever may be the place of their
departure or their destination, shall, with respect to
tonnage, flag, port, pilot, anchorage, lighthouse,
sluice canal, quarantine, salvage, brokerage, and
other duties or charges of whatever nature or deno-
mination they may be (imposed in the name, and to
the profit of Government, of public functionaries, of
communes, or of any establishment whatever), be
subjected only to such duties which are at present, or
which may hereafter be, imposed on the national
ships, at their entrance into and during their stay in
those ports, or at their departure therefrom
"Art. 2. For whatever concerns the destination of
ships, their loading and unloading in the ports, roads,
harbours, and basins, and generally for all formalities
and dispositions whatsoever, to which vessels of com-
merce, their crews, and their cargoes, may be sub-
jected, it is equally agreed upon that no privilege or
favour will be granted to the national ships which
shall not be extended to those of the other party, the
wish of the two high contracting parties being that, in
this respect also, their vessels should be treated on the
basis of perfect equality.
" Art. 3. The repayment by Belgium of the duty
imposed on the navigation of the Scheldt, by the
Government of the Netherlands (by virtue of the
third paragraph of the 9th article of the treaty of the
19th of April, 1839), is guaranteed to the ships of the
states of the Zollverein.

" Art. 4. All the products and other objects of
commerce, the importation and exportation of which
may legally take place in the states of the high con-
tracting parties by means of national vessels, may be
equally imported or exported therefrom by ships be-
longing to either contracting parties. Merchandise
imported into the port of Belgium and the Zollverein
by vessels belonging to either side, may be destined
to be used there, to be passed through, or to be re-
exported, or to be put into bond (entrepot), at the
will of the proprietor or his agents, on the same
conditions, and without being subjected to heavier
duties of warehousing, custody, or such like, than
those to which merchandise brought by national ves-
sels are subjected.
" Art. 5. Merchandise of all kinds, without dis-
tinction as to the place from which it comes, imported
directly from the ports of Belgium into those of the
Zollverein by Belgian vessels, as well as merchandise
which may be directly imported from the ports of
the Zollverein into those of Belgium, by vessels be-
longing to one of the states of the Zollverein, shall
not in the respective ports pay other or stronger
entrance or exit duties, or undergo any other for-
malities than those to which national vessels are sub-
ject when such imports are made by them. The same
regulation will remain for merchandise of all kinds
exported from the ports of the Zollverein by Belgian
vessels, as well as for those which may be exported
from the ports of Belgium by ships of the Zollverein,
whatever may be their destination.
" Separate Art. The cargoes of the ships of the
Zollverein imported into Belgium by indirect naviga-
tion, being submitted to differential duties, the Bel-
gian vessels which shall import into the ports of the
Zollverein cargoes shipped in a port belonging neither
to Belgium nor the Zollverein, shall pay an extraor-
dinary flag duty not exceeding the half of the actual
tariff of that duty.
" This stipulation will remain in force until the
Ist of January, 1848, and beyond that term during
the continuance of the present treaty, if, at the afore-
said term, one or other of the high contracting par-
ties shall not totally change its system of legislation
concerning navigation. In this latter case, the high
contracting parties will consider the means of recon-
ciling the stipulation of the first section of the pre-
sent article with the modifications which may be in-
troduced therein.

" Art. 6. The productions of the soil and of the in-
dustry of the Zollverein, shipped at the ports situ-
ated at the mouths of the rivers from the Elbe to the
Meuse (those two included) on vessels of the Zollve-
rein, and imported directly into Belgian ports, shall
be treated in the latter as if they came directly from
a port of the Zollverein.
"In return, the productions of the soil and of the
industry of Belgium, shipped in Belgian vessels in
the port of the Meuse, and those imported direct into
the ports of the Zollverein, shall be treated in the
latter as if they came direct from a Belgian port.
"Moreover, the productions of the soil, and of the
industry of the Zollverein, conveyed by vessels of
the Zollverein, either direct or from ports assimilated
to those of the Zollverein, and designated in the second
aragraph, shall, at their subsequent importation into
Belgium, be treated as if they were imported direct,
and under the flag of the Zollverein into Belgian
ports. Likewise the productions of the soil and of
the industry of Belgium, conveyed in Belgian vessels,
either direct or from the assimilated ports of the
Meuse, into the assimilated ports from the Elbe to
the Meuse, shall be treated at the time of their sub-
sequent importation into the Zollverein as if they
were imported direct and under the Belgian flag into
a port of the Zollverein. The two high contracting
parties reserve to themselves the:power of determining,
with a common accord, the proofs of which are
to be furnished in order to certify the origin of the
wares, as far as such proofs will be requisite.
"Art. 7. The premiums, repayment of duties, or
other advantages of that kind, which are or which
may be granted in the states of one of the high con-
tracting parties to the national vessels or their car-
goes, shall be equally granted, either to the vessels of
the other party, or to the wares imported direct from
the one country into another by ships of either side,
or exported for any destination whatsoever. Never-
theless, an exception must be made to the preceding,
and to the stipulations of the first and fourth Ttiei es,
in whatever Concerns the advantages of which the
productions of the national fishery and the commerce
of salt are or may be the objects.
" Art. 8. The subjects of each of the two contract-
ing parties will conform, in whatever regards the
exercise of internal communication, to the laws which
regulate at present, or which may hereafter regulate,
this matter in any of the States of the contracting
parties.
"Art. 9. The ships of Belgium entering into one of

the ports of the Zo'lvo-tin, and the ships of the Zollve-
rein entering into one of the ports of Belgium, being
desirous of embarking only a part of their cargoes, may
(under a due observance of the laws and regulations
of the two high contracting parties) keep on board a
part of the cargo which may be destined for another
port, either of the same country or another, and re-
export it, without being obliged to pay for that part
of the cargo any custom dues, except those of custody.
" Art. 10. The ships of one of the two high con-
tracting parties, when forced to seek shelter in one of
the ports of the other, shall not pay there, either for
the ship or the cargo, any other duties except those to
which native ones are subjected to in the same case,
provided that the necessity for seeking such shelter be
legally proved; that, moreover, these vessels transact
no business, and that they do not stop longer in the
port than necessity requires.
" Art. 11. In case a vessel belonging to the States
of one of the high contracting parties should be
stranded or wrecked on the coasts of the other,
all aid and assistance will be given to the captain and
the crew with respect to their persons, the ship, and
the cargo. The operations relative to salvage will
take place conformably to the laws of the country,
and no heavier salvage dues will be paid than those
to which native vessels would be subjected in a simi-
lar case. The merchandise saved will not be subject
to any duty unless they be admitted for the purposes
of consumption or use.
" Art. 12. The preceding stipulations (the Ist, 2d,
4th, sth, 6th, ith, Bth, and 9th) apply to the naviga-
tion, both maritime and fluvial ; so that nominally,
with respect to the customs duties and those of navi-
gation (imposed either on ships or on cargoes), to the
duties en patents, as well as to all other duties or
charges of whatsoever nature or denomination, the
vessels belonging to the other contracting party can-
not
be subjected to any other or heavier duties than
those which are imposed on national ships.
" Art. 13. The respective Consuls may arrest, send
on board again, or into their own country, any sailors
who may have deserted the ships of their nation.
They shall, therefore, apply by writing to the com-
petent local authorities, and prove, by the exhibition
of the orginal register of the ship or of the crew, or
by a duly certified copy, or by other official docu-
ments, that the individuals claimed formed part of the
said crew. Upon such a demand, the deserters must
be given up, in the search after and in the arrest of
whom every aid will be given. They shall be even
detained and guarded in the guard-houses of the
country, on the demand and at the expense of the
Consuls, until those functionaries have found an oppor-
tunity to send them off. If, nevertheless, this oppor-
tunity shall not present itself within three months,
counting from the day of the arrest, the deserters
shall be set at liberty, and shall not be arrested upon
the same charge.
" Art. 14. If any one of the high contracting par-
ties grants subsequently to another State any parti-
cular favour relating to navigation, this favour shall
become common to the other party, who shall enjoy
it gratuitously, if the concession be gratuitous, or by
giving the same compensation if the favour be con-
ceded conditionally.
" Art. 15. Those vessels will be considered as ships
of Belgium or of the Zollverein which shall be con-
sidered such in the States to which they belong, con-
formably with the laws and regulations in vigour. It
is, nevertheless, understood that the commanders of
vessels shall prove their nationality by marine letters,
transmitted in the prescribed forms, and signed by
the competent authorities of the country to which
the ship belongs ; and that, on one side, the mates or
captains on the Meuse or Scheldt, and, on the other
side, those of the Necker, the Maine, the Moselle,
and the Rhine, must prove their right to the naviga-
tion of the rivers belonging to the other contracting
party.

" Art. 16. There shall be full and entire liberty of
commerce between the subjects of the two high con-
tracting parties, in this sense--that the same facilities,
security, and protection which the natives enjoy be
guaranteed on both sides. In consequence, the re-
spective subjects shall not pay in consequence of their
commerce or industry, in any ports, cities, or places
whatever of the two high contracting parties, whether
they establish themselves there, or only reside tempo-
rarily, any duties, taxes, or imposts, except those
which are imposed on natives; and the privileges,
immunities, and other favours which one of the high
contracting parties enjoys in matters of commerce or
industry, shall be common to those of the other. The
tax for commercial travellers which is imposed on both
sides shall be reduced by each to a uniform tax, which
shall be mutually agreed upon.
" Art. 17. The transit of merchandise coming from
or going to Belgium, and passing by the undermen-
tioned territories of the Zollverein, shall be submitted,
as a maximum, to the following duties :
" Ist. The transit duty must not exceed a half sil-
bergros per quintal (zoll centner) upon all merchan-
dise arriving at Cologne by the Belgico-Rhenish
railway, and exported from that city into the terri-
tory of the Zollverein by the Rhine. Vice versa, all
merchandise which, after having entered by the
Rhine on the territory of the Zollverein, by Emnerich
and Neuburg, and after having arrived at Cologne by
vessels, are exported thence by Aix-la-Chapelle and
the Belgico-Rhenish railway►, must not be subjected
to a higher duty than a half silbergros per quintal.
" 2d. The transit duty is reduced to a half silber-
gros per quintal with regard to all the roads parting
from the Belgium frontier and traversing the terri-
tory of the Zollverein on the left side of the Rhine,
in order to stop at the Rhenish ports, and vice versa.
" The transit duty will be reduced to a half silber-
gros per quintal with regard to the roads which go
from Belgium into France, from Belgium into the
Netherlands, and from Belgium into Belgium by
traversing the territory of the Zollverein.
" 4th. The transit duty is also reduced to a half
silbergros per quintal, with respect to the roads from
Belgium to the territory of the Zollverein, and which
continue by the German frontier from Sarrebruck to
Mittenwald inclusively, and vice versa.
"sth. The transit duty will be reduced to 10 sil-
bergros per quintal with respect to the roads which
traverse the territory of the Zollverein, and which
issue by the frontier between Mittenwald and the
Danube inclusively. The transit duty existing on
the following objects, viz., cotton stuffs, new clothes,
leather and leathern articles, wools, threads, and
woollen stuffs, will only be reduced at present to 15
silbergros by the roads designated in the tariff of the
Zollverein, 3d division, 2d section.
" Art. 18. The liberty of transit by Belgium is
maintained, with removal of every duty for transit by
the Belgian railway, as well for merchandise coming
from the States of the Zollverein as for merchandise
going there, on the terms of the arrangement actually
in vigour. The exemption from duty in Belgium of
cloths, kerseymeres, and similar articles, forwarded
by the railway, is extended to the transit of those ob-
jects by any other way. The transit duty on slates
coming from the Zollverein, entering Belgium by the
custom-houses, and leaving it by the custom-houses
opened for transits, on the frontier which separates
Belgium from the Zollverein, shall be reduced to
fifteen centimes per 100 francs ad valorem, or to
twenty-five centimes per 100 kilogrammes, at the
option of the party interested. The transit of bark
for tanning, from the Grand Duchy of Luxemburg
to the States of the Zollverein by Belgium, shall be
exempt from all duty by the custom-house which
may be mutually designated.
" Art. 19. Iron of Belgian origin, entering into the
States of the Zollverein by the land frontier, between
the two countries, will be admitted on the following
terms :

" Ist. Iron, designated under the letter Ain the
tariff of the Zollverein (cast or wrought iron, &c.)
with a reduction of fifty per cent. on the general
duty of ten silbergros, which was enforced from Sep-
tember 1, 1844.
" 2d. Iron, designated under the letter B of that
tariff, at the duty of one thaler 7 silbergros per
quintal (centner) ; that is to say, with a reduction of
fifty per cent. on the augmentation of the duties esta-
blished from the Ist of September, 1844.
" 3d. Other kinds of iron, wrought or not, iron
works of all kinds, comprised in the succeeding cata-
gor

s
tariff; at
understood h
the generaltatif

that entrance
