" The various positions of Lover, Husband, and Parent, the in-
herent privileges of mankind, are frequently marred and prevented
through the follies and frailties of early indiscretions. To such, among
' others, 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 are
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 fatal
springs of domestic misery, and premature mortality."—Wakefield

Extract from the " Times" of Nov. 9, 1844.

" Mr. W. W. Simpson, the well-known ani deservedly respected
auctioneer and land valuator, has recently published a Pamphlet, en-
titled • A Defer co of the Landlords of Ireland, with Remarks on the
Relation between Landlord and Tenant.' "
The " Dublin Evening Packet," in reviewing this Work, gives the
following character of its Author:—
" Mr. Simpson, we scarcely need remind our readers, is an English-,
man of vast experience in matters relating to the improvement and
value of land in his own country. He is moreover a gentleman
of most comprehensive views, and possesses an understanding
naturally strong, and a stock f practical knowledge and sterling
sense, which falls to the lot of very few persons in his own or any
other rank of life.

" With the social condition of Ireland he has made it his business,
almost as a matter of necessity, to make himself thoroughly ac-
quainted. lie feels for her wants, and has contributed as much, per-
haps, as any man in his time to improve her resources, by en-
couraging the investment of British. capital in every dorartmont
Irish industry. Such a witness as this we therefore hold to be beyond
the reach of suspicion, on the score either of interest or partiality.
ills testimony must be regarded as invaluable as it is unquestionably
unimpeachable."

•
We regard the work before es, the ' Silent Friend,' as a work
embracing most clear and practical views of a series of complaints
hitherto little understood, and passed over by a ma:ority of the me-
dical 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 suffering from indis-
cretion, to profit by the advice contained in its pages."—Age and Argus.
" The authors of the ' Silent Friend' seem to be thoroughly con-
versant with the treatment of a class of complaints, which are, we
fear, too prevalent in the present day. The perspicuous ryie 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 to it a carefhl perusal."—Era.

RAILWAY COMMITTEES.
(THIS DAY.)
EASTERN COUNTIES BRANCHES.
A Sub-standing Order Committee assembled this morning,
Sir J. Y. Buller in the chair. The two following lines,
which are promoted by the Eastern Counties Company. wgre
aecutreo ru Lave compurn won toe sunning oraera—tne
and Whittlesea Deviation Branch, and the Cambridge and
Huntingdon Branch. In the Hertford and Biggleswade Ex-
tension Line, promoted by the same Company, the Committee
declared that in one particular the standing orders_ had net been
complied with. In some of the published notices the names of
certain parisbes were omitted. The agents alleged it to be
an error of the printer ; bur, nevertheless, the Committee had
no power to amend it.
BLACKBURN, BURNLEY, ACCRINGTON, AND
COLNE RAILWAY.
The Committee reported in favour of this line. It will form
a junction with the Manchester, Bury, and Rossendale Rail-
way, near Haslingdon, and thus connect the towns of Black-
burn, Burnley, Accrington, Clitheroe, Colne, and Whally with
the town of Manchester.

CHESTER AND HOLYHEAD RAILWAY.
This Bill is intended to enlarge the power already possessed
by this Company. The line commences at Chester, crosses the
Menai Straits by means of a two arched viaduct, and terminates
at Holyhead. It forms a junction with the Chester and Crewe
and Chester and Birkenhead Railways, and passes through
Flintshire, Carnarvonshire, and the Lle of Anglesea. The
present Bill is to enable the Company to construct a branch
from Llanellechid to Bangor, :crossing the Menai Straits, near
the Britannia rocks, and terminating by another junction with
the main line, in the parish of Llanfair Prall Guyngyll, in the
town of Anglesea. '1 he Committee decided that the standing
orders had been complied with.
BIRKENHEAD DOCKS.
The Committee decided that the standing orders had been
complied with by the promoters of this undertaking. The Bill
is introduced into Parliament for powers to con truer docks on
the Cheshire coast, opposite Liverpool, which docks form a
continuation of the extensive works commenced last year be-
tween Woodside and Wallasenpool, on the same shore. The
Birkenhead Docks, however, will be built by a distinct company.
SHREWSBURY AND BIRMINGHAM RAILWAY.
Mr. HAY WOOD appeared in support of this petition.
Mr. BITAK E appeared to support several petitions against the
proposed railway.

The Committee did not go into the opposition to the peti-
tion to-day, hut adjourned till twelve o'clock to-morrow.

The Leeds and West Riding Junction Railway Bill was read
a second time.
The Lancaster and Carlisle Railway Bill was read a second
time.

LONDON AND SOUTH-WESTERN METROPOLITAN
EXTENSION BILL.
On the motion that this Bill be read a second time,
Mr. MACKINNON said he had a few words to ssy on be
half of certain parties who were interested in the property on
the other side of Westminster-bridge. It appeared that the
proposed line from Hur,gerford-bridge would pass Westminster-
road just where the turnpike formerly stood; and it was under-
stood to be the intention cf the Directors, instead of making
one large span, to make two somewhat similar to the passages
of Temple-bar. The consequence of such an arrangement would
be an immense loss of property to all the parties interested in
the property in that neighbourhood. Unless this were reme-
diedlit was the intention of those whom be represented to
oppose the third reading.
Mr. HAWES (who had proposed the second reading) said
he had no power whatever to pledge the Directors to any par-
ticular coarse; individually, be had, of course, no wish on the
subject which was opposed to the intererts of his constituents.
The Birkenhead Dock Bill was read a second time and or-
dered to be committed.

Mr. MASTERMAN presented a petition from London,
praying that the tolls on the metropolitan bridges might be
abolished.

Mr. PATTISON presented a petition to the same effect.

practitioners of the borough of Sheffield on the Medical Re-
form Bill, requesting that a clause might be introduced to re-
quire the possession of certificates to enable members of the
profession to practise.
MEDICAL REFORM BILL.
Mr. W. HAMILTON presented a petition from the medi-
cal practitioners of the Isle of Wight against the Medical Re-
form Bill of last session.
Mr. MACKINNON presented a petition against the House
sanctioning the re-organisation of the class of medical prac-
titioners.

PARISH SETTLEMENT BILL.
Mr. PAKINGTON gave notice of his intention to move,
in the Committee on this Bill, the insertion of certain words
in the 7th clause, having reference to the movement of per-
sons from one parish to another after five years' settlement.
PRIVATE BILLS.
Dr. BOWRING, on behalf of the Hon. Member for Mon-
trose (Mr. Hume) gave notice of his intention to postpone his
motion, which stood for to-morrow, on the subject of private
Bills passed last session, till to-morrow week.

DUTY ON COALS.
The How. MEMBER also gave notice, on behalf of the Hon.
Member for Montrose, that, on the Customs duties coming
before the House, he would move the abolition of the export
duty on all coal. _

Mr. J. BARCLAY gave notice of his intention to move, on
the duty on alas brine browht under the considerltinn nf e
noose, tnat a urawoat..l De ailowea to the manniu.ethrers time

THE SLAVE-TRADE.
Sir R. H. INCL!S gave notice of his intention to make a
statement to-morrow, on the occasion of his moving for certain
papers relating to Sierra Leone and the Mauritius, relative to
the importation of negroes into the island of the Mauritius
IMPORTATION OF WHEAT INTO CANADA.

Mr. G. BANKES gave notice of his intention, on a future
day, to move for the amount of duty paid on wheat and wheat
flour imported from foreign parts into Canada.

FOREIGN STONE.

The same Hox. AhMBER gave notice of his intention to
move, at the same time, for a return of the amount of duty
paid on foreign atone imported into this country during the
last three years.

DUTY ON AUCTIONEERS.
The same IloN. AlEmeen. gave notice of his intention on a
future day to move fer a return of the duty paid by persons
carrying on the business of auctioneers during the last three
years, distinguishing the number of persons and the different
accounts paid.

CHINESE RANSOM.
Sir C. NAPIER asked the Chancellor of the Ex-
chequer whether the Canton ransom was included in the
receipts of what was called the Chinese money, and if so, what
had become of it?

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said the
Canton ransom was received immediately after the close of the
war ; the money that was now being received arose from
the instalments which the Chinese Government agreed by
treaty to pay as the indemnity to this country for the expenses
of the war. _ _

---
Sir C. NAPIER asked what had become of the former
money ?
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said 13 he had
received no notice of the question, he was unable to give an
answer to the Hon. and Gallant Officer.
SUGAR DUTIES.

Mr. WODEHOUSE wished to ask a question of the Go-
vernment connected with the discussion of that evening. He
wished to know whether it was the settled intention of her
Majesty's Government to apply the reduction of the duty on
sugars to all places alike, and at the same time, making do dis-
tinction whatever between large places like the metropolis,
where the traders had the advantage of bonding, and could
draw out their stock as a demand might arise, and country
places, who, not having the advantage, were obliged to hold
larger stocks?
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said he bad
had notice of the question, and he could have no hesitation in
saying that it had never been the practice to make any differ-
ence in the payment of duty between persons who bonded
sugar in warehouses, and those residing in other parts of the
country ; it was not the intention of the Government to intro-
duce any change in that respect.
MEDICAL CHARITIES (IRELAND).
Dr. BOW RING wished to ask a question, of which he had
given notice, and as the Hon. Gentleman was familiar with the
evidence, he hoped he would net decline to answer the ques-
tion. It teemed that in the South Dublin Union some poor-
law guardians had applied to the Poor-law Commis-
sioners on the subject of a rumour that had gone
abroad of the negotiation of a sale of a medical office held
under the Medical Charities Bill. That communication was
acknowledged on the part of the Poor-law Commissioners,
and sent to the Guardians of the South Dublin Union. He
wished to ask whether the Government weredisposed to lay on the
table of the House the whole of the correspondence on the subject?
Mr. HOPE—In answer to the Hon. Member, he begged to
say, that the subject to which his question applied had been
referred to the Poor-law Commissioners, and they said they
would make the necessary inquiries and report upon it ; but
that report had not yet been made; when it had it should be
laid upon the table of the House, and perhaps until then the
Hon. Member would have no objection to postpone his motion.

Lord CAMPBELL, in pursuance of a notice he had given
on a former occasion, laid a Pill on the table for abolishing
deodands. The Noble and Learned Lord characterised it as
a foolish and absurd law, and expressed his surprise that it
should have been allowed to exist from time immemorial to
the nineteenth century.

SUGAR DUTIES.
Lord JOHN RUSSELL gave notice of a motion on the sub-
j.-!et of the differential dutii son slave-grown and free-labour
sugar ; but the Noble Lord read his motion in so lute a tone,
that scarcely its scope c‘iulcl be guessed at in the gallery.
SUPP...Y—SUGAR DUTIES.
On the reading of -the order of the day for g ,lug into a
Committee of Supply,
Mr. it'ILNER GIBSON said tl.at he rose to move the
amendment on the order of the day, of which he had given
notice. If the House would give him its indulgence for a stunt
period he would endeavour, as briefly as was consistent vi ith a
clear exi.csition of the views he enter tamed, to explain the grounds
shy he thought proper to move the present amendment. The
amendment was a resolution, and was as follows :—" That no
arrangement of the sugar duties will be satisfactory and per-
manent which does not involve an equalisation of duty on to-
reign and colonial sugar." Ile was aware that there was an
obj, ction entertained by many Members of Parliament to
the loosing of what were called abs•ract resolutions; and,
certainly, if he were asked the question whether it were a tie-
sirable course to move an abstract resolution without any prac-
tical result, he would answer that such a course would not
be the wisest for a Member of Parliament to pursue, and in-
deed it would not at all be necessary to ask the assent of the
House to what would be termed the " abstract pr!n-
ciple" contained in this resolution, because he believed
that that principle had already received the full and un-
qualified concurrence of the Ministers of the Crown,
and, as he believed, the great majority of the
Members of that House. But it was because this resolution
was a practical resolution, and indicated temode for arrang-
ing the sugar duties on something like a permanent footing,
that he undertook to submit it to the House. The course he
had taken was sanctioned, fully sanctioned by precedent, be-
:Mee it would be in the recollection of the House that when
the Noble Lord the Member for Liverpool (Lord Sandon) had,
when a mode of arranging the sugar duties was brought for-
ward by the late Executive Government, submitted his vic w in
the form of a resolution, and in that resolution he indi-
cated what lie conceived would be a fitting anode of
placing those sugar duties on a permanent footing. The point
to which he drew the attention of the Houie was the neces.
sity et maintaining a distinction between sugar the produce of
slave-labour and free-labour in the markets of this country.
The Noble Lord contended that it would be consistent with the
course hitherto taken by Parliament with regard to the
slave trade so to arrange the duty on foreign produce
as to give a direct encouragement to one or the other. But
though the Noble Lord invited them to take that course, as
something like a permanent settlement of the sugar duties, ex-
perience had proved that no gain was effected for the country
in the nature of a settlement, for the question of the sugar
duties was in a state of constant suspense ; and since that period
the sugar trade was in a state of uncertainty and depression, and
they had already had to pronounce their opinion on several dis-
tinct measures for arranging the taxation on sugar. And they
knew well that nothing was so prejudicial to the sugar trade of
the country as to subject the duty by enactment to continued
alterations, because no person would engage in a trade which
was subject to the continued alterations of the Legislature.
The question which is to be introduced this night is, in my
opinion, a strong argument for something which shall lead to
the permanent settlement of this question. His Hon. Friend
the Member for Coventry had called the attention of Hon.
Members, in consequence of a petition which he had prc-
tented to the House, to the loss which must be sus-
tained by the dealers in sugar, from the rise of duties
on that;.artiele, by the influence of the alteration of duties
on the stock in hand, and asking for some recompense for
that loss. The Hon. Member for Norfolk had put questions
of a similar tendency. He did think that when petitions of this
character were presented to the House, that common sense re-
quired that the question should be so entertained as to place it
on a permanent basis, and thus leave this great interest in
such a position as to preserve it from continual changes. He
was aware that in the course which the Right Hon. Gen-
tleman, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, was obliged
to take, he could not obviate the difficulty by a
permanent Act of Parliament for the assessment of the sugar
duties. He was also aware that this was contrary to the con-
stitutional principle, but at the same time he thought that this
interfered in no way with the necessity imposed by a great
public principle ; on the contrary, he felt that this was in itself
an argument for some measures by which the dealers in that
great article of sugar should be saved from the continual
charges to which they were subject. Though it was impos-
sible to pass an Act for the permanent settlement of these
duties, yet there was a great argument afforded
net only by the existence of this constitutional obstacle, but
also by the peculiar condition of colonial property, for the
settlement of the impost to which sugar was subject. If they
would not pass a permanent Act, they could at least so settle
the question as to put every one dealing in this article in such
a position as to know to what they would in future be subject.
They might pass such a measure as would be agreeable to
the common feeling of the House, and thus place a regulation
on the books as might be renewed from year to year.
The Right Hon. Gentleman had invited them to a Committee
of Ways and Means to vote a supply to he. Majesty. He had
no objection to accede to that invitation. If a tax was to be raised
in an in indirect mariner he thought the duty on sugar was a
very reasonable duty. There could be no fair objection to it; but
to a chfferent rate of duty between foreign and colon 4j ureic
of that tax be.ng paid by the consumer in this country ; to that
course, lie said, he entertained an insurmountable objection. No
doubt such a result might come from the measure,
based on the principles which the Right Honourable
Gentleman had submitted to the House. Nothing was
more clear than if they imposed difforeet rates of duty,
upon sugar, with reference to its place of growth, as upon any
other such principle the difference between the rates of duty '
went not into the Exchequer but into the pockets of some par-
ticular class. Two descriptions of sugar where in bond, sty of
equal value, it was necessary perhaps to define
what he meant be. equal value. He meant what it
would sell for in the markets of the world. Take that
value to be 245.: to the one sample apply a duty of 28s, to the
other apply a duty of 14s. Now, vs hat is the consequence ?
It was clear that if the sample of sugar at the duty of 28s. be
sold in the markets of this country, it must sell for 525., 525.
being the total of 28s. the duty, and 245. the supposed
original cost. This was a sample of what is termed slave-
grown sugar. Now the sample, when brought into our mar-
kets, fetched hut 425. Now where did the difference go ? Not
into the Exchequer, but into the pockets of the colonial grower.
He would take a sugar worth 245., and a sugar worth 15s.—
the two extremes. He would apply the 28s. duty to the sugar
worth 245. when it became in the market 525. ; he would ap-
ply the 14s. duty to the sugar worth 155.; and he contended
that the sugar worth 155., whatever the duty applied to it, would
always maintain its relative value to the other. Just in the
same manner that sugars of equal value must sell for the same
amount in our markets, so sugars of different value would
always maintain the same relation towards each other.
Applying the duty of 28s. to the sugar worth 155.,
it would sell for 435. Deducting 143. from 435.,
Os. would remain, and thus 14s. had been pocketed by the
colonial grower, which ought to go into the public revenue.
Whether, in fact. they took sugars of equal or sugars of unequal
value, if they applied to them a different rate of duty, they put
into the pockets of some particular individuals in this country
the difference of duty,and prevented thew hole amount of taxation,
paid by the consumer from going into the Exchequer. The
question which concerned the interests of the people of this
country was not whether the identical duties taken at the Cus-
tom- House went into the public exchequer, but whether the
additional price paid by the consumer did so, and if it did not, then
a gross injustice was perpetrated against the people of this country.
He did not know whether Hoa. Gentlemen would dispute,
that if they imposed differential duties they attached to every
description of colonial sugar the full amount of the difference
of duties. If the amount of protection were 10s., they
put 10s. into the pocket of the colonial grower over and
above the addition made by the duty of 14s. He
He would take the duty at 14s. upon colonial sugar. First,
14a. was added by the duty ; and, secondly. 10s. by the pro-
tection, with respect to every description of colonial sugar.
And what was the effect of such an addition to the price ? What
was the extent of the fraud thus practised upon the revenue ?
The Right Hon. Gentleman had told them the other evening
that he expected that there would be 230,000 tons of colonial
sugar admitted next yeas—at 10s. a cwt. or 101. a ton that
would amount to the suns of 2,300,00(1. That was the sum
which they were invited to take out of her Majesty's Ex-
chequer, and to pay to the West Indian and the East Indian
proprietors. 2,300,0001. was the sum which it was proposed to
take out of the pockets of the people and to give it to the colo-
nial. producer.—( Hear, hear.) This was a monstrous act of
injustice upon the faoe of it.—( Hear, (hear.) He knew that
there were Hon. Gentlemen who would contend that there was
good reason why the colonial proprietors should be en-
titled to demaud this 2,3004000/. from the public
exchequer. But, as a Member of Parliament reprer
seating the public interests, and not the interests
of any particular class. He was certainly entitled to ask why
the community should be called upon to pay this sum to the
West and East Indian proprietors? He was entitled to ask
that at least a ease should be made out, and that they should
not be called upon to rush blind on, as her Majesty's
Government would have them do, and transfer this
enormous sum from her Majesty's exchequer, to the
pockets of individuals. He had no notion of any reason which
could be adduced to justify the transferring of this enormous sum
of 2,300,000/, from her Majesty's Exchequer into the pockets of
the East and West India proprietors.—(Cheers.) Why had it
not been mentioned in the first instance.—( Hear, hear.) Why
had not the Right Hon. Gentleman given notice of it when he
gave notice of his proposition. They were called upon to vote
money for her Majesty's exchequer, not to vote money to go
into the pockets of private individuals.—( Hear,
