"'fhe various positions of Lover, llttsbaml, 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."—Staford 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 halite, firming the most secret, yet deadly, and fatal
springs of domestic misery, and premature mortality."—Wakefield

"We regard the work before us, 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 majority 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 en our minds, that we not only recommend, bet 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 Argue.
" 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 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 to it a careful perusal."—Era.

he would advise him to withdraw the amendment, and pro-
pose it in a subsequent part of the Bill.
Mr. AGLIONBY said he had not intended to impute in-
consistency in a personal manner to any Hon. Member.
With regard to his proposal, as there seemed to be an agree-
ment as to the principle, and differences appeared to exist
only as to the means, it would be better for the present to
withdraw his amendment, and re• introduce it at a future
period.—(Hear.) His idea had been that clause. 44 might
be expunged altogether if his amendment were agreed to.
The amendment was the❑ withdrawn.
Lord G. SOMERSET thought the Hon. Gentleman bad
exercised a very suund discretion. The object of all who
had taken part in the discussion was, he believed, the same.
It would be much better to propose the words upon the con-
sider at:on of clause 44.
Clauses 33, 34, and 35 were then agreed to.
On dance 36 being read,
Mr. WAWN said he understood it was the intention of
some of the companies to abandon branch lines which had
been projected. In such cases they would be compelled to
place the roads in the condition in which they found them.
Lord G. SOMERSET said that when application was
made to Parliament to sanction the abandonment this point
might be considered.
Clauses 36 to 41 inclusive were then agreed, to.
Clause 42, was agreed to, with a few verbal amendments,
as was also clause 43.
Lord G. SOMERSET then moved that the Chairman re•
port progress, and the House adjourned at a Quarter-past
Four to Five o'Clock.

The House resumed at Five o'clock.

MISCELLANEOUS.

By extract from a private letter from the Island of Ascen •
sion, dated the 12th ult., it appears that the island is quite
healthy, but there has been a great deal of sickness to the
northward. The surgeon of the Hydra steam-vessel, Pa-
trick Brenan, Esq., is now lying dangerously ill, with no
hopes of his recovery. There is a good supply of water on
the island, and the turtle have commenced their return. A
very beautiful comet is visible here every evening.
Mr. Murchison gave his second soiree, as President of the
Royal Geographical Society, on Wednesday, at his house
in Belgrave-square. Among the novelties exhibited were
the new and highly-finished medal of the Emperor Nich
struck in honour of his Imperial Majesty's visit to this
cormtry, and executed by Mr. Alfred Wyon, of the Royal
Mint.

SUGAR DUTIES.

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, in
answer to a question from Dr. BowBINO, said it was
not the intention of her Majesty's Government to make
any substantial changes with regard to the duties on
sugar.

Sir R. PEEL was understood to say that, as there
were a great number of articles upon which the duty was
to be taken off, and about which there was no substan-
tial difference of opinion, it would be desirable that a
selection of such articles should be made, and the ques-
tion with regard to them settled.—(Hear, hear.)
POOR•LAWS (IRELAND).
In answer to a question by Mr. BELLEW, on the
subject of poor•law unions in Ireland, and the debts to
which some of them were subject,
Sir J. GRAHAM said that the report on the subject
was not yet prepared ; but as soon as it was ready it
would be laid on the table, together with the Treasury
minute with regard to it.

RUSSIAN FRONTIERS IN FEBRUARY.-All the accounts
from the Rus,ian Ka-ports agree that the Russian navy
is to be considersbly increased in the next two years.
The w,,rks in the ar,enals are uninterrupted, and large
orders for machinery are said to have been sent to fo-
reign countries. The great increase of the squadron in
the Caspian Sea is very remarkable. Many persons are
disposed to infer from this circumstance that Russia has
some design on the adjacent Persian provinces.

PRINCESS'S THEATRE.

Mr. Edwin Forrest appeared in the character of
King Lear last evening, and made a decided hit. His
Lear is decidedly the best character we have yet seen
him in. Those contrasts, In which he delights, all
tell well in the character of Lear, and they were used
with excellent discrimination and great effect. There
was something appalling in the bursts of fury with
which that weak-bodied, but intensely impassioned
old man was occasionally convulsed. The tottering
gait, the palsied head, the feeble footsteps of old age
were admirably given ; but the deep voice and the
manly contour of the figure showed that it was the old
age of one who had been, in the heyday of life, " every
inch a king." It was the old oak tottering to its
fall, but the monarch of the forest still. The passion,
too, was most artistically worked up to a climax, in-
creasing in intensity from the scene in which be casts
off Cordelia, through the scene in which he curses
Goneril, until in the scene in which he becomes con-
vinced of the treason of Goneril, when it became the
desolating hurricane, destroying even reason itself.
The scenes with Edgar were beautifully given. The
different phases of the approach of madness wtrit ad-
mirably marked. You could see, as it werkiirmoua
descending from her throne. The scene with
cester, too, was very fine—the biting apothegms
which Shakspeare has in this scene put into the mouth
of Lear, were given with heartless, bitter, scorn-
ful, laughing sarcasm, which is perhaps one
of the most unfailing characteristics of madness.
The recognition of Cordelia was beautifully ,touch-
ing, and the lament over her dead body was given
with an expression of heartrending pathos of Which
we did not before imagine Mr. Forrest capable. He
was called for at the conclusion of the play, and was
loudly applauded. He was well supported by Gra-
ham as Edgar, and Mrs. Stirling as Cordelia, who
each received the honour of a call. The tragedy was
followed by the new ballet of the Fete des Pecheurs,
in which Mr. Gilbert, Mademoiselle Teresine, Mr.
and Miss Marshall, and Monsieur and Mademoiselle
Rousset, delighted the audience by the exhibition of
their choerographic talents. The music of this ballet
is much above the common run of ballet music. The
Tarantella and Galope struck us as particularly beau-
tiful. We understand they are the composition of
Mrs. 11. J. St. Leger, a lady who composed a con-
siderable portion of the music of the Venetian Pas-
times, which had such a run at this theatre a short
time since. The admirable opera of the Qllfiker con
eluded the evening's performance.

NORTH-WEST FRONTIER.

To turn from the state of the Punjaub to the consequent move.
ments on our frontier, we have further to record that the Clover.
nor-General seems very properly determined to be prepared for any
emergency which may possibly occur on the frontier, by the reten-
tion in the Sirhind and Meerut divisions of some of the regiments
which had been previously ordered to march downwards, and the
addition of one regiment to their present strength, which is very
great. The 31st Foot, which was under orders to march to Cawn-
oor on being relieved by the 62d, has been directed to remain at
Umballah, and the 62d will, in all probability, proceed on to
Ferozepoor. The 9th Light Cavalry, which was to go to Sultan.
poor Benares, has been ordered to go no further than Meerut, and
the 38th Light Infantry marched yesterday ftom Meerut to Kur.
nal, to take the duties of the Commander-in-Chief's stamp, as his
Excellency, instead of proceeding to Meerut, as some time since
anticipated, remains In the neighbourhood of Umballah, and hat,
it is said, been joined by the Lieut.-Governor of the North. Western
Provinces, at the express desire of the Governor-General, with the
view of affording Sir Hugh Gough the benefit of his experience
and advice in the present critical posture of affairs. General Gil-
bert has succeeded General Fast in the command of the Sirhind
division, and Major-General Sir J. H. Diller has been specially
appointee( to the command of the troops at Ferozepore and
Loodianali.

MONEY ML

Our quotations for all descriptions of Bank Stock and Govern.
merit securities are nearly the same as those given last month,
since which, however, we have to notice the dividend declared by
the Union Bank, at the rate of 7 per cent. per annum. The
high rates which have been ruling for some time past, and even
now (in the face of the large amount of capital required for the
speculations is opium and indigo) show no symptoms of declining,
which sufficiently manifests the state of our money market.

We have received many complain's from Subscribers who are frequently

PRINCES THEATRE.

Mr Edwin Forrest appeared in the character of
King Lear last evening, and made a deckled hit. His
Lear is decidedly the best character we have yet seen
him in. Those contrasts, in which he delights, all
tell well in the character of Lear, and they were used
with excellent discrimination and great effect. There
was something appalling in the bursts of fury with
which that weak-bodied, but intensely-impassioned
old man was occasionally convulsed. The tottering
gait, the palsied head, the feeble • footsteps of old age
were admirably given ; but the deep voice and the
.nanly contour of the figure showed that it was the old
age of one who had been, in the heyday of life, " every
inch a king." It was the old oak tottering to its
fall, but the monarch of the forest still. The passion,
too, was most artistically worked up
.to a climax, in-
creasing in intensity from the scene in which he casts
off Cordelia, through the scene in which he curses
Goneril, until in the scene in which he becomes con-
vinced of the treason of Goneril, when it became the
desolating hurricane, destroying even reason itself.
The scenes with Edgar were beautifully given. The
different phases of the approach of madness were ad-
mirably marked. You could see, as it were, reason
descending, from her throne. The scene with Glou-
cester, too, was very fine—the biting apothegms
which Shakspeare has in this scene put into the mouth
of Lear, were given with heartless, bitter, scorn;•
ful, laughing sarcasm, which is perhaps one
of the most unfailing characteristics of madness.
The recognition of Cordelia was beautifully touch-
ing, and the lament over her dead body was given
with an expression of heartrending pathos of which
we did not before imagine Mr. Forrest capable. He
was called for at the conclusion of the play, and was
loudly applauded. He was well supported by Gra-
ham as Edgar, and Mrs. Stirling as Cordelia, who
each received the honour of a call. The tragedy was
followed by the new ballet of the Kte des Pecheurs,
in which Mr. Gilbert, Mademoiselle Teresine, Mr.
and Miss Marshall, and Monsieur and Mademoiselle
Rousset, delighted the audience by the exhibition of
their choerographic talents. The music of this ballet
is much above the common run of ballet music. The
Tarantella and Galope struck us as particularly beau-
tiful. We understand they are the composition of
Mrs. H. J. St. Leger, a lady who composed a con-
siderable portion of the Music of the Venetian Pas-
times, which had such a run at this theatre a short
time since. The admirable opera of the Quaker con-
cluded the evening's performance.

MR. BEULER'S CO CERT.

That most amusing of mortals, Beuler, who writes
comic songs as no one else can write them, and sings
as well as he writes, gives his annual entertainment
at the Crown and Anchor, on Monday. He comes
out in great force on the occasion, giving an en-
tertainment a /c 1 Mathews, interspersed with comic
songs, by way of prologue, which will be followed
by a concert supported by a host of talent. Tho
lovers of " mirth and harmony" may anticipate a
glorious treat, and we have no doubt but that they
will gather round one who has so frequently contri-
buted to promoting the harmonious mirth of the
social circle.

ROTTERDAM, MARCH 2.—We are happy to have to
announce the triu:eph of justice in the affairs of the ship
the Vronn Johann!. Our Correspondent at Marseilles
informs us that the Consul at Barcelona hat informed
the Captain, in the name of our Ambassador at Madrid,
that the Spanish Government had announced to his Ewel-
lency that he might depart with the ship and the whole cargo
including the arms that were seized, and that he should
state the sum which he required as an indemnity, and
leave full powers with some person there to apply for it.
Immediately after the captain had made his declaration,
and given a power of attorney, the ship was released and
the flag of the Netherlands again hoisted. We hope
that our Ambassador at Madrid will take care to obtain
a full indemnity and a reparation of the insult to our
flag, which we are assured will be ample.

The works in the arsenals are uninterrupted, and large

reign countries. The great increase of the squadron in
the Caspia❑ Sea is very remarkable. Many Persons are
disposed to infer from this circumstance that Russia has
some design on the adjacent Persian provinces.

MUSCAT.

Letters of the 16th of December have been received from Mus-
cat. The Imaum, being desirous of getting possession of a town
called Sewee, had sent to Zanzibar for between 1,000 and 2,000
Bedouins to assist him in its capture. The inhabitants had offered
him tribute if he would only let the town alone. This he declined;
he wished to obtain it in permanent and entire possession, and,
having been baffled in his first attempt, bad summoned foreign
aid to his assistance. The son of the Imaum was about to start in
a corvette for Bunder Abbas. About the beginning of December
it had rained four days at Muscat, and a considerable fall had also
been experienced in the Gulf. The news had been brought by her
Majesty's ship Serpent, which arrived on the 13th from Bushirt,
and sailed for Aden on the 16th, having visited, as she came over,
varisus parts of the Arabian coast. Ruhim 'ha Aslem's son.in-
law had been appointed British agent at Muscat. The brig Pali.
nurua had made a good run of fourteen days across, and was ac.
tively engaged in preparations for the survey.
