OPINIONS OF THE PRFSS.

" We regard the work before us, The silent Friend,' as a
work emt'racirg most clear and practical views of a series of corn..
plaints hitherto little understood, am+ passed over by the majority of
the Medical protession, tor what reason we are at a losst o know.
Weniust, however, confet4s that a perusal of this work has left such
a favourable impression on our minds, that we not enly 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 in be thoroughly
conversant with the treatmeht 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 perusal."—Era.

Lord Elphinstone arrived here on the 17th inst. by the
French steamer from Syra. his Lordship intends to
proceed by the Bentinck from Suez to Ceylon, to visit
some estates he owns in that island, and expects to be
back in March.
Very few travellers have passed through Alexandria
this year with the intention of visiting Upper Egypt.
The several crops of wheat, beans, barley, lentils, and
sessame seed are excessively short this year, owing, no
doubt, to the great scarcity of cattle. Beans have con•
tiaued to advance daily in price until they have finally
reached 21s. 4d. per quarter, free on board, and it is
impossible to say IN hen the speculation in this article
will cease.
The schooner Emmetje arrived hare yesterday from
Beyrout, which place•she left on the Ilth. Very severe
weather has prevailed on the coast of Syria since the
latter end of November, and a great number of country
vessels have been lost on the coast. Fresh supplies of
troops were constantly pouring into Syria from Turkey,
and Ali Pacha had arrived at Jerusalem to replace the
former Pacha, on account of his inactive conduct during
the late disturbances, caused by Sheikh Aboo Ghosh, in
the neighbourhood of Jerusalem. The new system of
petty Christian Governors, under the Druse Emir in the
Lebanon, is being carried into operation, but it is not ex-
pected that much good will be derived from it. The old
Turkish coinage lately called in by the Goverment is
again perfectly current in every town in Syria.
