OPINIONS OF THE PRESS

" This work, a TENTH Edition of—which is now pre-
sented to the public—ten thousand copies have been ex-
hausted since its first appearance—has been very much
improved and enlarged by the addition of a more extended
and clear detail of general principles, as also by the inser-
tion of several new and highly interesting cases. The
numberless instances daily occurring, wherein affections
of the lungs, putting on all the outer appearances of con-
sumption, which, however, when traced to their source,
are found to result from certain baneful habits, fully
proves that the principle of the division of labour is no-
where more applicable than in medical practice. We feel
no hesitation in saying, that there is no member of society
by whom the book will not be found useful, whether such
person hold the relation of a Parent, a Preceptor, or a
Clergyman."—Sun.

" Messrs. Curtis's work, called MANHOOD, is one
of the few books now coming before the public on such a
subject, which can lay claim to the character of being
et. ;.tly proftersional, et the ammo time that it is fully in-
telligible to all who read it. The moral and medical pre-
cepts given in it, render it invaluable."--Magnet.
" The perusal of Messrs. Curtis's book, entitled MAN-
HOOD, has really astonished us by developing a series of
maladies, the never-failing consequence of the vicious
habit of which it treats. The clear connexion pointed
out between the assigned cause and the effects is percep-
tible to every capacity."—Age.
'` This is a work that we fear there exists too much
need for, to cause us to hesitate to recommend it for ge-
neral perusal. Every branch of those frightful maladies,
whether the result of immoral habits or secret vices, is
here succinctly treated, and, divested of all medical tech-
nicality, plain and easy directions are given for the best
mode to be pursued in all cases, however complicated or
apparently hopeless. To the married, as well as the un-
married, this little work alike affords consolation and cure
in peculiar cases, and we are doing service to society in
recommending it to general notice."—Essex and Herts
Mercury.

" The scientific views taken by the authors, of the
source and origin of many of the most distressing effects
of certain depraved habits, fully establish their claim to
the character of experienced surgeons ; and the result of
our careful perusal of the work has been to impress us
with a thorough confidence i❑ the talent and skill of the
authors, and to satisfy us that those intrusted with the
care of youth are not a little indebted to them for fur-
nishing them with a means of preventing some of the most
frightful maladies to which flesh is heir."—Old England.

ANNUAL DINNER OF THE LIVERPOOL LI-
CENSED VICTUALLERS' ASSOCIATION.

The members of this association, together with a large
number of their friends, celebrated their thirteenth anni-
versary on Thursday last, by a grand dinner, at their
extensive premises, 59, St. Anne-street, (formerly the
Literary and Commercial Institution,) which they have
recently purchased as an Asylum for the orphans and
others who may have claims on the institution. The
large yard behind the building, which extends a conside-
rable way towards Christian-street, was covered over with
sails, and formed a spacious marquee for the banquet,
tastefully ornamented with flags, flowers, evergreens, &c.
Over the chairman's seat, which, with the table appropri-
ated for the principal guests, was elevated on one side,
was hung a decorated picture of her Majesty the Queen,
and opposite to it a painting of Britannia, with suitable
inscriptions. The walls were entirely covered with na-
tional and other flags and banners, and the roof orna-
mented with wreaths and garlands, with the initials, in
large gilt letters, of the Queen and her Royal consort,
" L. V.," &c. &c. ; and the light being admitted through
the canvass, and also by apertures at both ends, the whole
had a very pleasing appearance. Eleven tables, each with
two rows of guests, crossed the large area, and afforded
ample accommodation for the numerous assembly, which
'lkumL)eral nearly five hundred, and was enlivened by many
a G. wives and daughters of the members, handsomely
attired. Mr. Parker's Royal Cheltenham Band was sta-
tioned on a platform at the entrance end, and played at
intervals during and after the repast a variety of favourite
airs. An efficient body of singers were also present, and,
accompanied by the piano, followed up the principal toasts
by appropriate glees. The dinner was provided by Mr.
Towers, of the Angel Hotel, and was sumptuous and well
served, whether as regarded the substantials, the dessert,
or the wines.

Shortly after three o'clock, the chairman, ALEX. SMITH,
jun., Esq., entered the tent, accompanied by the stew-
ards and principal guests, who took their seats at the same
elevated table. Amongst them were—Councillor Robert
Jones, Messrs. John Bent, R. Neilson, H. Bullin, Jas.
Mellor, J. R. Harde❑ (magistrate and barrister), Peter
Wright, W. Davenport, James Lea, John Wood (of
Stafford), J. Thompson (of Manchester), J. Yates, sen.,
&c. The vice-chair was ably occupied by Mr. T. Rees.
At the conclusion of the repast, several orphans, male
and female, supported by the association, were introduced
to the chairman. They were neatly attired, and attracted
much attention.

After the usual loyal toasts were drunk with all due
honours,
The SECRETARY was called upon, and read the report
for the year, which, on the whole, was of a gratifying
nature. It stated that the association had existed rather
more than thirteen years, and had had occasionally to
contend with the difficulties that usually a' tend the for-
mation of such societies. Heavy demands had been made
upon its funds from time to time, ". to meet what were
considered legislatorial encroachments on the freedom
and best interests of the trade ; and large sums that might
otherwise have been devoted to the charitable objects of
the society, were thus necessarily appropriated to protec-
tive purposes." Nes ertheless, its progress, though slow,
was steady and improving, though not to the extent that
was desirable. The number of licensed victuallers that
had been enrolled since the commencement was 832, of
whom only 306 were now on the books, together with 100
honorary members and donors, making a total of 406
contributors. The committee expressed their regret that,
amongst a class of tradesmen numbering 1400, a society
struggling to form an asylum for the orphans and widows
of deceased brethren, and to afford education to the des-
titute children, should not have obtained the sympathies
and active support of at least a large majority of the body.
They trusted, however, now that they had purchased that
noble edifice, as a comfortable retreat for their fellow-
creatures in distress, that the whole of the trade would
come forward with their support for that purpose, as well
as for effective protection in the legal exercise of their
business. The trifling subscription of 10s. a-year. from
all of them, would enable them to place their institution
in a position to rival the noble establishments of their
brethren in the metropolis, and to enlist the sympathies
of their townsmen at large; and the committee, there-
fore, earnestly besought their general and cordial support.
During the past year the committee had had to provide
for the necessities of eight individuals, at an outlay of
rather more than £lOO these were—a poor widow, a
distressed member of the association, and six orphan
children. One of the latter, a female, had been put to a
respectable situation, so that the society was relieved from
further expense on her account. The cash account of the
charitable fund stood thus :

DR. To Mr. Molyneux, for the purchase of pre-
mises in St. Anne-street
CR. By Cash in Moss & Co.'s 8ank...... £1520
By Balance ..

£2300
The above £1520 includes subscriptions of upwards of
£330, of which Mr. J. Bent subscribed £lOO, Mr. Thos.
Rees £lOO, Messrs. J. &J. Mellor £5O, Messrs. Gardner
& Sykes and Messrs. J. & J. Ackers £25 each, Mr. J.
Bent £lO, Mr. W. Hindley £2O, &c. The Secretary
also read a letter from the proprietors of the Era, Sunday
newspaper, announcing a subscription from them of two
guineas.
The CHAIRMAN prefaced the next toast by some ap-
propriate and feeling remarks on the institution and its
benevolent objects, than which he knew none more praise-
worthy—the support and education of orphan children.
Another object was to support the widows of deceased
members, and another the maintenance of their just and
legitimate rights. He regretted that comp/natively bv
few of the licensed victuallers had enrolled their names,
but. trusted that the institution would in a short time
—birh it so justly merited. He pro-
posed " Prosperity to the Licensed victuallers out:1-ty
of Liverpool and its vicinity," which was received with
three times three.
Mr. BENWELL, formerly of the Theatre-Royal, poet-
laureate to the association, then sang a very humorous
original song, into which he introduced many laughable
allusions to parties present. and to passing events. It
was received with roars of laughter, and being encored,
he sang a number of new verses, of an equally comic
character.
The following toasts were then drunk, and were ably
introduced and responded to :—" The Members for the
Borough ;" " The Worshipful the Mayor ;" " The Town
Council ;" " The Chairman of the day." The last was
proposed in a neat address by Mr. T. BRYDEN, who passed
a warm eulogium on the merits of Mr. Smith, adding that
he was the first gentleman. not being a brewer or spirit-
merchant, who had voluntarily come forward to preside
over them. (Cheers.)
The CHAIRMAN made an appropriate and feeling re-
ply. It was with diffidence that he acceded to the request
to take the chair, but when he was informed that it would
be of advantage to the charitable object they had in view,
he did not for one moment hesitate to comply. He should
be happy to give his support to so laudable an institution,
and it would be a source of gratification to him if his
example should induce others to give them a helping
hand. (Cheers.) He then proposed the health of the
Vice-Chairman, who had shown his earnestness in their
behalf by the handsome donation of which they had
heard.
Mr. REES returned thanks in an address of considera-
ble length and no little eloquence, in which he feelingly
dwelt on the advantages of the society, particularly as
regarded its charitable_ objects. He concluded by pro-
posing the health of Mr. Bent, who replied.
Mr. HUGHES then ably proposed " The Trustees of
the Association," to which also Mr. BENT responded, in
one of the best and most business-like addresses of the
evening.
The toast of " The Licensed Victuallers' Society of
London " followed, and was replied to in a very feeling
manner by Mr. HIDDLE, one of its members, who ex-
plained its progress, and expressed a strong conviction
that the Liverpool Association would, by perseverance,
be yet enabled to rival it.
At this period of the evening, subscriptions and dona-
tions were received by the chairman, vice-chairman, and
other officers, from parties present. These were announced
as received, and were very considerable, but we did not
learn the amount. The several announcements were re-
ceived with much applause.
" The Honorary Members and Donors " was the next
toast, which was followed by " The Bar," connected with
the name of Mr. Harden.

Mr. HARDEN ably replied. He returned his cordial
thanks, as a humble member of the bar, and considered
the high honour paid to himself was in consequence of his
having happened to succeed in one or two cases in de-
fending publicans against what he could not but consider
an arbitrary law. There was a day when, in this country,
no man could be tried or fined or imprisoned but by his
peers; but that day was gone by, and now they were fined
at the discretion of a bench of magistrates, on the evidence
of witnesses who were paid for their zeal in laying infor-
mations. The police-officers—he said so advisedly—in
the shape of an allowance for extra time, were paid for
laying the information—paid for serving the summons—
and paid for attending and giving evidence in court—
pay for serving the summons, and for his time in giving
evidence. It was difficult to defend such cases success-
fully, and to be successful in such an effort was
to him a sufficient reward, without the praise which
they had pleased to confer upon him. A man's house in
England was formerly his castle ; bnt a publican's house
was now exempt from that privilege. An extra allowance
was paid to informers for extra officiousness, and now it
depended on the arbitrary decision of a pair of justices,
grounded on the uncorroborated evidence of a paid wit-
ness, whether a man should be mulcted in his pocket—in-
jured in his character, and his license be in jeopardy. He
could assure them, however, that in whatever situation he
acted, whether as a member of the bar, or in the higher ca-
pacity which he was empowered to exercise in another
county, he should:ever consider iflhis duty, as it was his de-
sire, carefully to protect the liberty of the subject against
what be considered to be an invasion of his constitutional
rights. If the present system be carried on—if the police
be dressed in plain clothes, and engaged in spies—if their
domicilary and impertinent visits to respectable men's
houses, at all hours of the day and night, be encouraged
—and if the pernicious system of extra allowance for extra
officiousness be continued instead of that degree of respect
and confidenee which is essential to their efficiency, the
police will justly be exposed to pubiic odium and disre.
spect. He concluded by saying that he should always
raise his voice against a system, which he had no hesi-
tation in pronouncing to be at once unconstitutional,
un-English, and oppressive. (Loud cheers.)
The toast of " The Strangers present" was replied to
by Mr. R. NELSON, who proposed " The Lancashire
Witches," which was drunk with enthusiasm.
The CHAIRMAN then proposed " The Press," in a com-
plimentary manner.
Mr. MARTIN, of the Mail-office, briefly and ably re-
sponded ; and the company shortly afterwards separated,
highly pleased with the proceedings of the day.
