A GLANCE AT HANGMAN'S WORK. (FROM "JEIIUOID'S WEEKLY NEWS.") My morning walk on the 20th April, 1849, will not readily be forgotten. The atmosphere was.cold.butdry. 1 crossed Rown- ham Ferry, uear the Hotwells, Bristol, with a boat-load of tel. low-passengers, ?poing to bee the far-famed Calcruft publicly strangle Sarah Harriet Thomas, the youthful murderess of Mis^ Jefferies. Landing on the Ashton side, away went men and women, boys and girls, across the pleasant meadows leading to the Coronation-road, which runs beside the New Cut an arti- ficial branch of the Avon, on the opposite side to that where the K»ol stands, and from whence only a full view of the grim per- formance was to be obtained. 1 formed the resolution to aim at visiting the spot, by a circuitous route, after the culprit had been legally slaughtered, so as to make personal acquaintance with the deportment of the spectators during the allotted hour of sus- pension. Over quiet held ioothpaths, amidst pasturing sheep and suckling lambs, I chose my way, far out of the confluent streams of sight-seekers, hurrying along by various roads from the country, tearing; they should miss the very sirht 1 was anxious to avoid, and running at full speed in their eagerness not to he too late for the hanging," Alter nearly an hour's stroll, I emerged from the fields, and suddenly caught a view of the fatal beam, whence lning, wavering and twirling in the bleak north wind, a lifeless female form, of stout, but not ungraceful proportions with pinioned arms, impurpled hands clasped tightly in front a shapeless wh.ie cap over the head and face, the long, fair, though muscular neck, stretched to its utmost on the right side by the biting cord, which drew the head towards the left shoulder, as it pressed behind the opposite ear. All these details were but too clearly observed through my pocket achom tic glass. I am an old man, and no novice in the scenes of death, suf- fenug, and sonow hut. a chilling thrill ran through my veins at this unnatural spectacle. Youth, beauty, crime, obduracy, knowledge despised, ignominy, death a doubtful hereafter, all combined, presented themselves in that dead girl, strung up to a lofty gallows, a gazing-stock duiing a long, black, demoniacal hour, for countless thousands, not one of whom could boast an immortal soul, more precious in its eternal ransom, than hers.— Yet she had been violently dismissed to her last dread audit, whilst all that mullllude of witnesses remained, to sin on or to repent, as the event might prove. Imagination would not bo restrained from a vain effort at penetrating the mystery of that forcibly-ejected sPlflt-its unseen flight from that hateful eleva- tion had been an awful going forth. Whither did it go, and with what sudden experience of an undying life 1 Casting aside my reverie, 1 struck into the public road imme- diately lacing the gaol. lIero I found myself involved in one outskirt of a dense assemblage, on foot, in Ccllts, in carriages, and on horseback. It was said 10,000 human beings were collected, at vaiious points commanding a view 01 the gallows. The large proportion of females was a remarkable and painlul feature in the scene. The generat deportment of the crowd realised my worst anticipations. Few, indeed, were the serious faces or the tearful eyes many the coarse expressions 01 feature, and the still coarser tibaldties of tongue. Practical and immoral jokes, pelting with turf and dirt, loud laughter, vile obscenity, oaths and curses, mingled in foul discord. There was the vacant stare ofcunosity, the scowl 01 defiance, the sneer of contempt. Some good CUtistians had early posted themselves at various points of the assemblage for the purpose of distributing tracts, calculated to awaken profitable reflections; but they were mostly received with some deprecating language, such as 0, this is all gospel, 1 s'poseor "It will do to light a pipe;" or "Twig the Quaker!" If it had not been for thc'dangling corpse, and the array of policemen beneath, 1 should have imagined my- self at a fair. Yet a inore atrocious criminal could not well be conceived than this girl of eighteen. She murdeied a sleeping woman, suffocated her victim's faithful dog, robbed the house, and went to and fro, alone, where the murdered body lay in Its solitude. When detected she tried to fix her guilt on an inno- cent person by the most elaborate falsehoods and cviRced a hardihood ot mind that scarcely yielded one scintillation of con- science, cither from collision with crime or its anticipated punish- ment. Still this youn^creature's blood-stained iniquity and re- tributive death alike failed to produce salutary feelings in the masses invited by the outraged la IV to witness its righteous ven- geance. Can the wisdom of our legislators devise no substitute for such unprofitable horrors ? Having seen enough, and heard much more, of the disgraceful interludes which marked this burharian holiday in a Christian land, t turned my sleps homeward. Airivingat a curve in the road which commanded a piofile view of the gallows, llooked bac^ at the moment when the officers of the gaol ascended the scaffold and arranged themselves preparatoij to the body being taken down. My telescope enabled me to see distinctly all that passed. In a short time the unenviable functionary who trades m strangling the law's victims, mounted the ladder, untied the halter., and let the murderess fall rudely on tha drop, a mere drapened heap of collapsed joints and muscles, in which it was not easy to recognise the human form. He appeared to busy hllTlllelf a few seconds about tho body, probably unfastening the halter, to pocket it for the purpose of strangling Rush the follow- ing mormng, and then seizing his handy work apparently by the shoulders, dragged her down the ladder like a sack of sand. Fit consummation of a most unchristian-like exhibition! My bosom involuntarily responded to the fearful yell of execration bursting from the multitude, as the scene closed by a climax so worthy of its whole character. When life has been sacrificed to the offended law, how can the dignity of justice stoop to insult a defenceless corpse I I turned away in borrow and in shame, that my coun- try should ba degraded by legislative sanction of an exhibition adapted only to the meridian of heathen barbarism. At the ferry 1 found myself once more in a boat full of holiday folk returning from the hangman's show, as merrily as they would from any other amusement. 1 regained my home, sick at heart with my morning's adventures, confirmed in my utter distrust of death punishment as a protective agent in our social economy, and anxious to open a safety valve for overcharged feelings, by writing this description of my glance at hangman's work.

GAS. To the Editor of the Monmouthshire Merlin. SIR,— The course you have commenced in furnishing the pub- lio wilh reports of proceedings of the Newporl Watch Commit- tee meetings, will without doubt lead to practical good, ss was shewn in your last number, in which you report a discussion on tha !;fIR question, that arose among the members of the committee. f >ao or two remarks on the occasion are fort ible enough to anest imnicdino attention It appeared to him (the mayor) to be somewhat strange, that while the public lights were supplied ul at ,¡ lJijt 3J. per 1000 cubic feet of gas, the private consumer should be charged 7 Id. fur the same quantity." And again It is a question (said the mayor) which will certainly be taken up by private consumers, who see no reason why they should pay a higher rate because the public lights ate charged at a lower." Then comes the observation of Mr. Spinney, the contractor who informs us That gas companies have generally acted upon that principle;" and hisafter-acknowtedgment: "That if it could be fairly entertained by the public, it would certainly be desirable to equalise the cost, and make a general chaige of say 6s. per 1000 ieet." And next I would notice the observation of a worthy coun- cillor, Mr. Stephen Igguldeo, who thought they exhibited a commendable public spirit, in paying a higher figuie for private lights, that general consumers might not be so heavily burdened with the costs of tho public lights Now, as a tradesman who has used gas almost since its intro duction into Newport, I must first thank Mr. Evans for btinging forward tho subject; commend Mr. Spinney for his very caudid avowals; uut altogether disagree with Mr. Igguldi-a's COffi- mondahle public spirit." Why should I—why should a dozen others—whousogasin various parts of our prtintiaef, be called upon to make up other men's delicieocies ? Let the gentlemen give me a reascu. The gas 1 use ie for my convenience and my comfort. The gaa t) e public use is for their comfort and conve- nience. Show me why I should pay more than double for mine than they tor theirs. It appears to me to be a kiud of twist," which should oat be recoglllsed among I he principles and prac. tices of honourable Irade. II has Ibe "smack" of doing husi- ness after this mode :—" A B. is too poor or too ill-intentioned to pay me the lull amount fur my goods; IhelefoJe C. D., who is too honest and too confiding to discuss the bill, shall pay for i\. B.'s deficiency." It reminds one, also, of poor-rate tactics: W. X. says he can't or he wont pay his rnles; Y. Z. can and shail therefore a new rate will make Y. Z. pay for both." Mr. Spinney, as an honourable maa, acknowledges the impropriety ot the practice adding It is a long lane which has no turn- ing." And he abo cited instances where gas companies were selling aside such a monstrous anomaly. Many a uiu-kle makes a muckle," saith the old Scotch proverb; and on that principle 1 would hope a reformation will shoitly be effected in this just cause of complaint. 10 conclusion, I cannot but think there was a want of firmness and readiness to push the question further, when, on a proposition that a deputation should go from that meeting—as appeals to have been suggested— all should try to get rid of the duty, by excuses. Why, with Mr. Spinney admitting <0 much as he did with the rrnuds of the gentlemen present so beat upon the nutter; and with such an admirable opportunity of shewing their sense of public dUlY, no better occasion could have beeu presented t.!J the objectors, for going before the gas propiietms wish a capital case, and asking an immediate consideration of its bearings, with a view to alteration. Thus, however, it too frequently occurs. Men who can talk, and talk, and talk like pairio's and philan- thropists, when there is no danger to apprehend, foo often shrink back timidtyand half-frightened, when an opportunity occurs to call their patriotism or philanthropy into exercise, 'l is the readiness to condemn, without the energy to act. Trusting that" the question WiLl. HE taken up by private con. sumers," who will not shrink from good opportunities when they happen, 1 respectfully subscribe myself, Newport, A piil 30, 184!).

THE l'OTATOE. To lite Editor of the Monmouthshire 1I1erlin. Siti,—The evident wish to promote the benefit of the mosses, and to alleviate human suffering, repeatedly shewn by your well conducted paper, inclines me to place at your disposal the fol- lowing letters of the eminent Dr. Marmsell, of Limeiick City, in Irelnnd, who did much good in his generation. The date of the first letter is February 1st, 1793. He says :— it is well known that potatoes are the food of at least two millions of people in this kingdom and if these two millions of people can reap the benefit of a second crop without the expense of a secoud sowing of potatoes, what discovery has ever been made in this kingdom of equal utility I And yet, from the un- derneath letters, affidavits, and certificates, it will be found practicable, provided the peasantry (who are always attached to old systems of agriculture, and who cannot, by the most obvious experiments, be beaten out of their modes, because their fathers ii 1 led in such a manner) be encouraged by premiums, to under- take the culture of them in the manner I have laid down. About fifty years ago we had but few kinds of potatoes in this kingdom, and it is more than probable that those few kinds only would have still continued, was it not for the ingenuity of some gemlemen, who tried experiments on the seed of the apple of the potatoes that we now have but this experiment, though highly useful, is yet slow in its operation, because the young stocks mmt be transplanted, and you will not reap the full benefit 01 the experiment in less than two years; and even within that petiod it will be rather local, for it will take tome years befoie the good kind can be selected, and distributed through the king- dom, so as that the public may benefit by it. But tho experiment 1 have made this year is simple end effi- cacioui it is (if I may use the expression) giving existence and value to what before had none it is letting the poor man eat his seed potatoes, aud making use of that which, for ages past, had been thrown away as useless, for raising potatoes the ensuing year; it is, in short, adding so much to the common stock of provision* for the poor, which should -&0 object with every good citizen. In the month of April, when I began to sow my potatoes, 1 observed in the heap that I had for seed, the potatoes fastened to fiach other by a great number of shoots, nol thicker than straws, issuing from the different eyes; those shoots appearing 89 early [ considered as the strength of the potatoe, or rather its first efforts to vegetation and it appeared to me, from the state the potatoes weie in, that they must be greatly weakened by those several shoots proceeding from them. While my potatoes were sowing in the usual manner, it oc- curred to me, on seeing potatoes growing where they had been stored ia heaps in the licid, and no appeeiance of any seed pota- toes left, nothing but the bare shoots, without any kind ofcuttute and on my perceiving the runners from the Alpin or prol.fic strawberry plants, taking root at every joint, and each joint pro- ducing blossoms and ripe fruit at the same season, it confirmed mo in my opinion that the shoots from the potatoes, if properly attended to, might produce potatoes, but a doubt atill remained on my mind, and that was, whether the shoot, when depiived of i's parent potatoe, would ever fructify or produce a potatoe. Ire. solved. however, to try the experiment, and took up a few shoots of different kinds, that my servant had thrown away, cut them into pieces about six inches in length, choosing those that had most knots and fibres, observing to plant them as they grew, with that part next the potatoe downwards. I made the servant make two drills of twenty-eight feet in leogth, which I had prepared for parsnips, and planted each shoot about six inches assunder, covered them wilh earth about an inch, each drill two feet assunder, and gave directions, that if they grew, to earth them up at least a foot high, leaving about three inches of its growth above ground, till towards the firat of Aug. these shoots, thus planted, began to vegetate and get into leaf, before any of the potatoes 1 had sown at the same time in the usual manner, owing, as 1 supposed, to the strength of the shoot, which weakened tho potatoe from which it issued when I found the shoots in leaf, and thfi experiment likely to succeed agreeable to my wish, 1 lamented that I had not tried it in the month of March, being satisfied, from its quick growth, that the strength of the potatoe lay in the shoot. While thia process was depending, I mentioned to several gentlemen and farmers theexpertmeat 1 had made they laughed at the idea, and could not be brought to believe that a single potatoe would ever grow from the shoots but 1 was determined the experiment should have a fair trial, end would not commit the management of the process to the servant alone, but paid some little attention to it myself, lesi those gentlemen who laughed at my idea, might turn their laughter against the ideal experimentalist. No doubt the giving existence and value to what before had none, or, at least, the increasing the general stock of food for the poor, at so easy an expeuse, by turning to profit, and con verting to a public good, what heretofore had been thrown away asuseleBs, is an object worthy tha atteution of theDubin) Society, from whose fostering hand, arts, manufactures, and agriculture have received such improvements in this kingdom. The usual mode of preparing potatoes for sowing, is by cutting the potatoe into as many pieces as it has eyes these when cut are called sets, in Irish]scullians, and are let to lie for several days, until a kind of crust appears on the part that is cut, tor the tiller imagines, that if the sets, or sculiians, were sown as soon as cut, the smiils and wmms would much iojuie them, and the crop would be greatly lessened. But the failure, in my opinion, docs not proceed from its being ne",ly sown after i s being cut, but from the state it is in when sowu for it is obvi- ous to every person conversant in the sowing of potatoes, that the set, or scullinn, long before it is cut from the lota.oe, nay even the potatoe itself, appears hugged, and shiivelled up, owinw, to the different shoots proceeding from it; and even these, when sown, do nut all grow-one.third at least perishes, becanse the strength has been taken from them by the different shoots and if there be any small remains of life in the eculhan, it perishes on the very threshold of ver,elation; because, when coran to its birth, it has not strength to bring forth. Ry observing the mode I hawe laid down for the culture of potatoes from the shoots, the cottier, who perhaps has an acre «.t ground to sow under potatoes (1 mean for a second crop), an the potatoes stored in heaps in the garden, and who for weeks in spring had remained in a torpid id e^ B a e» w e° e might be employed to advantage in making dulls in his potatoe garden, will have full leisure to begin h.s potatoe «. lage. pro- vided he be careful in digging out the seed when the demand for labourers is not great; be can open one or two of his heaps, col- lect alllhese shoots that have been thrown away as useless, sell his potatoes, pay his rent, and at his leisure plant five or six drills with the shoot, in the month of March, provided they be sufficiently strong in the month of April he can plant as many more, and so on. till he plant bis entire acre. The labour attending this mode of culture is but trifling; for he has nothing more to do than to make a drill ot about five or six inches deep, and about two inches wide his wife 01 childien may follow him with a barrow of manure, throwing a small quantity into the drill in which the shoots are to be planted (as you would any other plant), covering it with about two inches of earth by this moans his potatoes will ripen in succession and he w'ill find his garden tilled, almost imperceptibly, without hiring a single labourer to aisist him and when the stocks appeai above ground, he will have about twelve inches of ground at each side of the drill to earth them up, at least eighteen inches III I for the higher you earth them up the greater will ba the produce • for the potatoes from the shoots, if properly attended to, will not spread in the ground, but ascend to the surface, as yuu may liee them when dug out, growing to the stock, as onions tied in a trace. But this kind of culture will not answer for a fir the surface is too stubborn and the ground not suflkieS meliorated, for the looser and finer the earth, th* the produce, and the less expense attending it • but it" MI 1 answer exceedingly well for a second. «h,rd.gor Ioumh I vided what I have before mentioned be well attended to Jiz The clearing the ground carefully Irom seed potatoes, for by changmg the drills, and putting a very small quantity of manuremot hem every year you renew or Iccrt/ale your ground (if I may use the expression) and you may keep your garden under polatoe tillage for several years and when the gaulcn is to be let out for wheat, or any 0 her kind of gram, ,hiJSe dtflVent summer-fallowings, assisted by a small quantity of manure every vear will be the best preparation for the grain, besides an amazing'improvement to he ground* b

Extract of a I.etter from Mr. Thomas Biuntnn, Landlord of the Waterloo Tavern, C'oatham, Yerl.sliire, late et the Life Guards, dated September 2Sth, 1H4S. To Professor Hollowly. Sir,—For a long timo I a martyr to Rheumatism and Rheumatic Gout, and for ten weeks preyicus to using your medicines, ) was so bad as not to thi ablo to walk. I had tried doctoring and medicines of every kind, but all to no avail; indeed I daily pot worse, and felt that I must shortly die. From seeing your remedies advertised in the paper I take in, 1 thought I would fcive them a trial. 1 did so. 1 rubbed the Ointment in as directed, and kept cabbage leaves to the parts thickly spread with it, and took the Pills night and morning, In three weeks I was enabled to walk about for an hour or two in the day with a stick, and in seven weeks I could £ o any- where without one. I am now. by the blessing of (;od and your medicines, quite well, and have been attending to my business for more than seven months, without any symptoms of the return of my old com- plaint. lie-ides my case of Rheumatic Gout, I have lately had proof that your Pills and Ointment will heal any old wound or ulcer, as a married woman, living near me, had had a bad leg for four years, which 110 one could cure, and I gave her some of your Fills and Ointment, which soundly healed it when nothing else would do it. For your infor- mation, I had the honor to serve my country for twenty-live years, in the first regiment of Life Guards, nnd was eighteen years a Corporal. I was two years in the Peninsular War, and was at the Battle of Waterloo, I was discharged with a pension on the 2nù September, 1833. The Commanding Oliicer at the time, was Colonel Lygon, who is now a Genera1. I belonged to the troop of Captain the H inorable Henry Baring." (Signed) THOMAS UKUNTON.

Sir,— With pleasure and gratitude 1 have to inform you that after suffering for twenty-one veais with a bad leg, which yielded to no kind of treat- ment, although f consulted, at different times, every medical man of emi- nence in this part of the country, but all to no purpose, i was frequently unable to work; and the pain and agony I oftt n endured no one can tell.

Davidson, Druggist, Korw'jck-,Jl")""l'^c'C(1, w'i° knows my case well, and will, 1 am sure, be liii„,v to certify-with mc, if necessary, as to tlie truth of this wonderful cure.

Sir,—I was superintending, about six months ago, the erection ol one of our Railway iiridges, aiid by the fall of a large stone mv right foot was seriously bruised, which ultimately got so bad that 1 was advised to go to Edinburgh to consultsomcof thc eminent Surgeons, which I did, and was told that in order to save my foot, two of my toes must be taken oil. In despair, I returned home to impart the melancholy news to Illy wife, intending to submit to the operation it was then a thought, struck mc to try your valuable Ointment and Fills, which I did, and was by their means in three weeks enabled to resume my usual occupation, and at this time my toes are perfectly cure d.

The Norwich Union Society, instituted 1797, was the first office to make returns to the parties insured, and its connexions have, to the present time, enjoyed this important benefit- The last return on the premiums paid between Michaelmas 1811 and Michaelmas 1845, was made in J81G. distributing in that year amongst the parties insured jEM 000, making a total of £ 350 000 returned to the assured since the first establishment of the office and this per centage was paid to every insurer without excep- tion, whether his policy had been in existence the whole period or for only a single year, or evert but for three months, an ad- vantage not afforded by any other society whatever. It is expected that the next return will be made in the course of the ensuing year 1850. The directors have the strongest grounds to expect that the future returns will equal the past, and the constant increase of business (over sixty millions) sufficiently attests the public con- fidence in the stability of this company. These unprecedented t„rns show the great benefits which insurers in this otfioe have ii ived and the rates are Ihe same as charged by other offices where no returns are made.

CIIRTIS ON MANHOOD.—It developes the fearful shoals on which l larte proportion of human happiness is wrecked, and furnishes a ;hart by which they may be avoided and escaped. Fortunate for a country would it bc, did its youth put into practice the philanthropic nnd scientific maxims here laid down-one cause of matrimonial misery might then be banished from our land, and the race of the enervate be succeeded by a renewal of tho hardy, vigorous spirits of the olden Lílllc.Cll ralliele 1 consider the Treatise on Manhood is decidedly the best extant in the French and English language. The subject bextrcmdy important, and one too much overlooked by our profession generally and the evils of the vice on which the publication treats, are not appreciated by the community. Although the cases presented in the book are frightful, yet judging from many patients who have been under my treatment, they have not been overdraw A.

PASfi'S LXFE PILLS, A Mild, safe, and most effectual cure of Indigestion, Bfllou Liver, and Stomach complaints. Sick Head-ache, CostiveneM, Arc. &c. Their composition is truly excellent; they are compounded entirely of vegetable products, freed from all irritating and delete- rious matters, which render their operation mild and agreeable they do not require the least confinement or alteration of diet, and may be taken by the invalid with perfect safety; as an occasional dose in all nervous and debilitated cases, recoveries from pro- tracted diseases, &c., they will be found highly valuable, imparting vigour and tone to the system when emaciated by disease. The extra- ordinary properties of this medicine are thus described by an eminent physician, who says, "Aftcr particular observation of the action ot PARK'S PaLS, 1 am determined in iny opinion, that the following are their true properties :—First—they increase the strength, whilst most other medicines have a weakening effect upon the system. Let any one take from three to four or six pills every twenry-four hours, and instead of having weakened, they will be found to have revived the animal spirits, and to have imparted a lasting st,engthto the body. SFcmdly- In their operation, they go direct to the disease. After you have taken six or twelve pills, you will experience their effect; the disease upon you will become less and less by every dose you take: and if you will persevere in regularly taking from three to six pills every day, your dis- case will speedily be removed from the system. Tiiitdlv-They arc found, after giving them a fair trial for a few weeks. to possess the moot astonishing and invigorating properties, and they will overcome all ob. stinate complaints, and restore sound health there is a return of good appetite shortly from thc beginning of their use whilst thcii mildness as a purgative is a desideratum greatly required by the we" and deli- cate, particularly where violent purging i. acknowledged to be injurious instead of beneficial. To PERSONS GOIXG ABROAD.—These Pills arc particularly recom- mended to all persons going abroad, and subjecting themselves to great change of climate. Officers of the Army and Navy, Missionaries, Emi- grants, Ac. will find them an invaluable appendage to their medicine chests, as a preventative of those diseases so prevalent in our C'-lcmies, especially ill the West Indies, where a small box recently sold for Mis. I II America also its fame is getting known, and its virtues duly appreci- ated, causing an immense demand for it; and there is no country or port in the world where it will not speedily become an article of exten- sive traffic and general utility, as it may be had recourse to in all cases of sickness, with confidence in its simplicity, and in its power to produce relief. To THE LADTrs.—PARR'S LIFE PILLS are especially efficacious in all the variety of ailments incident to the fair sex.

HALSE'S PORTABLE GALVANIC APPARATUS, which has now become 8n celebrated, consists of twelve pair of line and silver platcs,anrl a most complete regulating apparatus, with wire, handles. &c. The whole i. contained in a neat mahogany box, two fert long, one foot high, and one foot broad and when in action, it is au ornament to any drawing-room, and 18, in short, perfection itself. From the weakest to the strongest power there are fifteen gradations, the use of which is described in Mr. Habit's sixth and seventh letters on Medical Galvanism, to which be begsto call the reader's attention. Tiie oxtra- or-iinary cures he has made by means of Galvanism, have so astonished the whole medical world, that he now iustly patronised by the highext of the medical profession; and, although it may not be IK lieved, it is still, nevertheless, a fact, and well known to his numerous patients, that he has generally one or two gentlemen of the medical profession under him patients. To galvanize between forty and fifty patients a day, as Mr. liaise and his assistants are in the habit of doing, it is absolutely neoes- sarv that the galvanic apparatus should be brought 10 the height of perfection and such, he Halters himself, he has accomplislied, All the Undermentioned testimonials will prove. The apparatus is constructed on so simple a principle, that the mos unscientific will not have the least difficulty In using it, as the fullest instructions are given how to use it, and alsi medical advice how to apply it, by the patient minutely describing his complaint. Therefort patients In the country need not go to the, expense of a journey to London, as they can galvanize themselves by means of this apparatus at their own residences, and with perfect safety, as the power can be regulated 110 accurately that an infant may be galvanized with it. without even causing it to cry and in a moment the power of it caa he so increased that the most powerful man would not like to receive its influence a second time. The most timid need not be afraid of using it, as the power of it is entirely under command. The following are a few extracts from the Press, in addition to those previously inserted:- HALSE'S PORTABLE GALVANIC APPARATUS—From the Westeyan—"That loir. Halse stands high as a uUHlicMl galvamst, and that he is generally considered as the head of his profession, are facts which we have long known: but we did not know until very recently that b" had brought the galvanic apparatus to such a hifrh state of perfection, that an invalid may galvanize himself with the most perfect safety. We happen to know something of galvanism ourselves, and we can truly say that his apparatus is far superior to anythtnir of the kind we ever beheld. To those of our invalid friends, therefor*, who may feel desirous of testing the remedial powers ot galvanism, we say, apply at once to the lountain head. To secure beneficial results, it is necessary, as wc can from experience assert, to be galvanized by an apparatus constructed on the best prlllelples; for, although the sensatiou experienced from the smallest machines of the common construction, dining the operation is very similar to that experienced by Mr machines, yet the effects alterwaid* produced are vastly different, the one producing a feeling of exhaustion, and the other a feeling of renewed vigour. Mr. Halse particularly lecommendg galvanism for the restora- tion of muscular power in any part of the body which way be deficient of it." HALSE'S PORTABLE GALVANIC APPARATUS.—The following is extracted from the Magazine of SCk:1I(" for Aprii:—" We are continually in receipt of letters from medical men. inquiring the best form 01 (jaivanic Apparatus lor medic il purpose*, tJ, essential requisite* being constancy of action, and to be always ready for use at a moment's noÜ;"2. To tliose medical friends we reply, write to Mt. Halse, and order one of his portable Galvanic Apparatus, and you may taVe our word for it you will find them all that you call desire. His battery is constructed of zinc and silver plates, and lie has so arranged his regula- ting apparatus, that the practitioner may apply 5ulit what "ower he mllY think proper. It is the most perfect thing we ever beheld and we (,0 not see how it is possible, for medical purposes, to improve upon it. It is well known that quantity of fluid is the great desideratum in i.,dical galvanism. Now, in the small machines which arc usually sold, it is very evident to any one who knows anything 01 the principles of galvan- islr., that the quantity of fluid which circulates through tbe body of th. patient is next to nothing, although the shock may he very powerflll; for the human body is an imperfect conductor, and it requires a series (II pairs of plates to cnforce the current through an imperfect conductor. In Mr. Halso's apparatus there arc both quantity and intensity brought into action; and yet his machine is constructed in so \n_autiful a manner that even au infant may be galvanized by it without tI", least unpleasant- ness. As men of science, we conscientiously recommend llalse's Portable Galvanic Apparatus, In preference to all othcrll." GALVANISM.—The application of Galvanism as a medical agent appears to be the rage in the metropolis. Its professors have played the very deuce with the Cold-water Doctors, for t lie Medical Galran'ists pretend to accomplish fully as much as the Hydropathists arid, as the cold-water treatment is, without doubt, a very disagreeable one, whilst the galvanic treatment lixs nothing disagreeable ahuut patients now generally resort to the latter. Mr. W. H. Halse may he considered the leader in this new branch of medical science, for who ever heard 01 galvanic rings, galvanic bracelets, garters, bands, &c before he maoe galvanism so popular ? If galvanism be as powerful a remedial agent as it i* pretended to be, the thanks of the invalid public are due to Mr. Haisc, and to liim alone, for it; for without Ins extraordinary nnprovcmcllts in the galvanic apparatus, the applications of galvanism would be worse than useless. That Mr. Halse ranks high as a Medical Galvanist is evident from the fact that the most eminent physicians of the metropolis invariably recommend their patients to him, where they think galvanism will be 01 service.—Morning Chronicle.

It contains an elaborate and care- fully-written account of the anatomy and physiology of the organs ln man which are directly and indirectly concerned in the function of generation, (illustrated by coloured engravings,) and the causes and confluences resulting from the baneful practice by which the vigour and manliness of life are enervated and destroyed, even before nature has fully established the powers and stamina of the constitution. Local and general debility, nervous irritability and excitement, consumption, indigestion of the most fearful and exhausting kind, intense meianeholy and degression of the spirits, and partial or total extinction of the repro- ductive powers. &c., are thus produced. In the Silent Friend, the chap- ter devoted to the consideration of these dreadful complaints contains also an account of the means by which they may be prevented and re- moved. so as to restore the sufferer to the full enjoyment of health, and the functions of manhood. The consequences arising from venereal contamination are next pointed out, and the nature and character of gonorrhrra, gleet, stricture, and secondary symptoms of every kind, are clear'y explained, with directions for cure. Their dangerous effccts on the human economy are sufficiently dilated on, and a means is also in- dicated by which the recurrence of these diseases may in every instance be completely prevented. The work terminates with a chapter on the obligations of marriage, the physical impediments which tend to dill- qualify the candidate for that holy state, and the directions necessary for their removal. The work if. illustrated by the detail of cases, and by twenty-six coloured engravings on steel, thus rendering it what iw name puriions it to be, the true, but silent friend to all suffering from the consequences of early error and vice,—a work which may be iron suited without exposure, and with every assurance of complete success and benefit by R. and L.

Tart the first of this work is dedicated to the consideration of the ana- tomy and Physiology of the generative functions. It embraces a suc- cinct account of all the organs in man which art, engaged in the impor- tant function of the reproduction of the species, and the mode in which self-abuse operates to the injury of the human frame, and the Jestruction ol the special and vital powers. This is illustrated by six coloured engravings. l'art the second treats of the infirmities and decay of the system pro- duced by over indulgence of the passions. The existence of nervous and sexual debilitv and incapacity, with their accompanying train of symptoms and disorders, are traced by the chain of connecting results to this cause. This section is illustrated by three eolourtd engravings, which fullv display the eflects of physical decay. Par* the third contains an accurate description of the diseases cauaed hy infec'ion, and by the abuse of mercury primary and secondary symp- toms eruptions of the skin, sore throat, inflammation of the eyes, dis- ease tlm bones, gonorrhoea, gleet, stricture. &c., are shown to depend on thr cause. Advice for the treatment of all these diseases and their consequences, is tendered in this section, which, if duly followed uP. cannot fail in effecting a curc. The part is illustrated oy seventeen coloured encravings. Part the fourth contains a prescription for the prevention of disease hv a s'mple application which the danger of infection is obviated. Its action is simple but sure. It acts with the virus chemically, and desfrevs its power on the system. This important part of the work should not fscape the reader's notice. Part the fifth treats of marriage, its obligations and distlualiftatfons The causes which lead to happiness in the marriage state are dwelt 'iPOP and those that are indicative of misery and domestic iuquietudo The nature origin, and treatment of physical disqualifications are aU* descrbed, and reroeuies for this state form an iiii|>ortant consideration in this section of the work..
