HALIFAX, August l, 1858.
The Hon. Sir John A. Macdonald Sir G. E.
Cartier and William McDougal are to arrive here to.
day. Their mission Is to Pacate the anti Unionists
OF Nova Scotia. 1t Is understood they will meet
them half way. The ants hold out firmly for re-
peal and the spirit OF the public press has been in
tensely bitter, even suggesting the mobbing OF the
Canadian ministers. The Hon. Joseph Howe
publishes in this mornings papers a very unex-
pected letter. Here5ukes the sentiments OF the anti
press, and aludes to the handsome man
ner in which the Nova scotian members
were treated in Canada, although hostile
to the Canadian government and policy.
II Nova scotians have lost their constitution they
has thrown upon the Canadian government the
sponsiblity OF great controversy, and the Nova
Scotians are bound to give fair hearing to the
remedial measures which the government may have
to propose. Its delegates must be accorded courte-
GUS treatment for the ants not so strong that
the whole world by reckless disregard OF the usages
OF civilized diplomacy. This letter has created
great sensation among the anti-confederates, and
Howe is bitterly upbralded as traitor. This letter,
they say Is the first step OF his political reCreancy.
The more reasonable commend its tone and spirit.

that the sinking of the South Eastern shore of
Hawaii is confirmed. The same occurrence
was observed at Port HIo The subsistence at
Hawaii in some places was from three to tour

five earthquakes occurred daily. Considera-
BILE smoke was arising from Kilonan, though
but little fire was visible. The oscillations of
the sea at Hilo August 14th, 18th and 10th

and fell from three to four feet once every

not assert anything that would do injustice to The at
fic!ed, but am obliged to say that although it may
be produced from excessive exhaustion of the powers

and food, protuse menstruation the use OF tea and
Coffee and frequent childbirth, it is far oener caus-
ed by direct irritation, applied the mucous mem

When reviewing the causes ofthese distressing
complaints, it is most painful to contemplate the at
attendant evils consequent upon them Ii is but sim
pie justice to the subject to enumerate few of the
many additional causes which SO largely affect the
lite, health, and happiness OF woman in all classes OF
society, and which, consequently affect more or less
directly, the welfare OF the entire human family The
mania that exists for precocious education and mar
corporal development to be wasted and perverted
in the restraints ofdress, the early confinement of
school, and especially in the unhealthy excitement
of the ball room. Thus, with the body half clothed
and the mind unduly excited by pleasure, perverting
in midnight reve the hours designed by nature for
sleep and rest the work of destruction is half accom-
plished.
In consequence of this early strain upon her sys-
TEN, unnecessary effort is required by the delicate
votay to retain her situation in school at later day
thus aggravatng the evil. When one excitement is
over, another in prospective keeps the mind morbid
ly sensitive to impression, while the now constant
restraint of fashionable DRESS absolutely forbidding

medical treatment. This is but truthful picture OF
the experience of thousands Of our young women.
Long before the ability to exercise the functions OF

called the tissue, which is, in with the te-
