Th&consequenc? arising from this dangerous practice are not confined to its pure physical result, but branch moral ones; leading the excited, deviating inind into 4L fertile field of sedurtive error- into a gradual and total degradation ofmanitood-into a pernicious application of those inherent rights which nature wisely instituted for the preservation of her species; bringing on premature decrepitude, and all the habitudes of old age,—such a one carries with him the form and aspect of other men, but without the vigour and energy of that season which his early youth bade him hope to attain.

The fearfully abused powers ofilir. human Generative System require the most cautious preservation and the debility and disease resulting from early indis- cretion demand, for the cure of those dreadful evils, that sueh medicines should be employed that are most ertain to be successful. It is for these caws Messrs. Ilerry & Co.. particularly designed their CORDIAL BALM OF SYRIACUM which is intended to relieve those persons, who, by an immoderate indulgence of their passions, have ruined their constitutions, or in their way to the consummation of that deplorable state, are affected with any of those previous symptoms that betray its approach, as the various dfecUons of the nervous system, obstinate gleets, excess, irregu- larity, obstructions of certain evacuations, weakness, total impotency, barrenness, &c. Ac uottilog ean be better adapted to help and nourish the constitution, so there is nothing more generally acknowledged to be peculiarly efficacious in all inward wastiiig&, loss of appetite, indigestion, depression of spirits, trembling or ohaking of the hands or limbs, obstinate coughs, shortness of breath, or consumptive habits and debility arising from syphilis. It possesses wonderful efficacy in all cases of syphilis, fits, head- ache, weakness, heaviness and lowness of spirits, dimness of sight, confused thoughts, wandering of the tnind, vapours and melancholy; and all kinds of liystenc complaints are gradually removed by its use. And even where the disease of STERILITY appears to have taken tne armest noia oi tne icmaie cmismunou, the softmng tonic qualities of the Cordial Balm of Syriacuta will warm and purify the blood and juices, increase die animal spirits, invigorate and revive the whole animal machine, and remove the use impedi- ment to maternity. This medicine is particularly recommended to be taken before persons eater Ltto the MATRIMONIAL STATE, lest in the event of procreation occurring, the Innocent offspring should bear enstamped upon it the physieai characters derivable from parental debility, or evil eruptions of a malignant tendency, that are most assuredly introduced by the same neglect and imprudence.

The following are a few of the numerous testimo- nials this popular work has received, and which the limits of an advertisement will only allow of being published:— The rage for hooks in all departments of science, literature, and the arts, was, we believe, never so prevalent as at the present time.—The unavoidable consequence of this is, that we meet a very consider- able proportion of indifferent, useless, and even bad books.—With the force of this prejudice on our minds, we with no little reluctance were induced to peruse Messrs. Curtis's work, entitled MANHOOD; nor did it require much perusal fully to satisfy us that the book was not one of the common stamp.—The scienti- fic 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 and judicious surgeons.—To quote passages from the work in proof of our assertion would be departing from the established rules of the daily press-Tlie result, however, of our careful peru- sal of the work, has been to impress us with a thorough confidence in the talent and skill of the authors, and to satisfy us that those entrusted with the care of youth are not a little indebted to them for furnishing them with a møltni of preventing some of the most frightful maladies to which flesh ts heir, Old. England. Messrs. Curtis's work, entitled 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 strictly professional, at the same time that it is fully intelligible to all who read it.- The moral and medical precepts given in it, render it invaluable.-Magnet. The persual of Messrs. Curtis's book, entitled MANHOOD, has really astonished us by developing a series of maladies, the never-failing consequence 0 of the vicious habit of which it treats.—The clear con- nexion pointed Out between the assigned cause and the effects is perceptible to every capacity. We strong- ly recommend the work.-Age. The multitude of books daily coming from the press, some, nay, most of them of a very questionable ten- dency, made us extremely reluctant to take up another. Having, however, been induced by the character given of this work by any intelligent friend, we ventured to open its pages, and now feel no hesitation in saying that we rise from its perusal instructed and edified. The clear exposition of the source of many of those diseases, which proves so fatal to youth, and which are set down by the every-day observer as the result of common causes, such as exposure to cold, sudden vicissitudes of temperature, hereditary taint, etc., is truly convincing and extremely satisfactory.—We say satisfactory," in as much as Messrs. Curtis have shown that many diseases, such as Pulmonary Consump- tion, Epilepsy, etc., hitherto theapprobriaof medicine, may, when taken in proper time and submitted to judicious treatment, be brought to as favourable a ter- mination, as any other class of affections.-We do not think we go too far in saying that society is deeply indebted to the authors for producing so useful, so much wanted, so valuable, and so truly moral a book.

DRF.ADFPI. CASE OF ClitLI) Ilui,,DE:rt. Sai-ali Head, a youn"- u omftu, aged 19, in the service of Mr. J. F. Woylj of No. 10, Bowhili-terracc, Brix- ton road, was last Saturday charged with the wil- ful murder of her male infcnf, and Thomas Court- a lad of the same age and 111 the same service, was charged as an accessory to the murder. A Policeman stated that at twelve o'clock 011 the loc k on the preceding night, when on duty in the Brixton- road, he was called into Mr. Wool's house, and informed that the female servant was suspected of having shortlv before delivered herself, and des troved her offspring. He immediately proceeded to the water closet, and by the light of his lantern saw a child Ivinsr on his back, with its legs under- neath the soil, and the whole of the upper part of the body above the surface. With some difficulty he succeeded in getting the child up, and he then saw that its throat was cut in a dreadful manner, and that it was quite dead. conn-eved the body into the house, he was informed by Mr. Wool that the girl suspected of having committed the murder was in bed up stairs, and that she was in such a precarious state at present that her re- moval would be attended with great danger. He was afterwards informed that the male prisoner was supposed to be the father of the de- ceased, and upon questioning him on the subject, and when asked if he knew any thing relating to the murder, his reply was that the child was in a water-huckct twenty minutes before it was thrown into the privy. The witness added, that he re- frained from putting any more questions to Court- ney, and then went and gave information of the circumstance at the station house. He produced the body of the deceased in Court, which was that of a full-grown child. An Inspector stated that' he saw Courtney on the occasion, and asked him whether he was the father of the child whose body he had just found with his throat cut. His reply was that he was the father, and when asked if he was aware that the girl was in the family-way by him, and how long since he had been made ac- quainted with it, he said that for the last two months he knew that Sarah Head Was in a state of pregnancy by him, and that they had agreed at that time that they were to make aWay with it when it was born. That at I I "(,Io(,-k -t!i:tt Sarah Head informed h:1lJ that she was taken with pains of lahour-,this "as "hile lie was in the kitchen doing his work. That after she men- ioned this to him she went up stairs, but came down a<rain about 12 o clock, and again addressing him, said, I have done away with it. I have; killed it. III,] I)Ilt it down the water-closet." The Inspector added, that upon hearing the above voluntary tatemen t ot the male prisoner, he con- sidered it his duty to take him into custody, as an accessory to the murder. The female prisoner was at present too ill to be removed, and the medical man attenumg her said that her life was considered in danger. The prisoner stood com- mitted. Ma. EI.TON-— The Examiner concludes some ob- servations on this much talked of case in the following terms :—We do not mean to argue that no ('tou b a iu he was not ill ftult. It was no doubt a liberty in I him. considering his footing with Capt. Williams, to make the request which he did, and his subse- j quent conduct was violent and unjustifiable; but still, considering lus readiness to apologize; we continue to consider his sentence as one of dispro- portionate severity, and in awarding it there is too much reason to believe that the Court was influ- enced by past circumstances, not before it as matter of charge, and not substantiated in evi- dence and also, as Capt. Itous avers, by appre- hended future proceedings, for which, neither in posse nor in esse, the prisoner could be held respon- sible, inasmuch they would be the acts of others; I LAW OF EVIDENCE.—Lord Denman's bill declares that merely on the production of the re; ord of con- viction of a crime, the testimony should not be ex- cluded: but that it should be lett to the jury to estimate the value of the testimony of a witness. He would extend this even to cases of conviction for perjury. In most of such cases the punish- merit of cxeluding the evidence of such witnesses did not fall on them, but on innocent parties. Such a witrless might be in possession of the most important facts, the knowledge of which was es- sential to the elucidation of truth, to the convic- tion of guilt, and to the acquittal of inttocence. This ii-as b Is chief object with respect to interested witnesses, and those at present disqualified. To these lie had added two questions of minor import- ance. Several Baptists had, from time to time, urged upon their lordships the propriety of being admitted to the same privileges as Quakers and Moravians, and, objecting to an oath, to be per- mitted to take an affirmation. The whole of the Baptists did not entertain those scruples, but some did. The last clause of his bill was to remove doubts which arose in legal processes where it was necessary to set out the proceedings before the grand jury and the pettv jury, where some took the oath and others affirmed. OUltS OF DISSENTERS.— The bill laid before the House of Lords on Friday (and appointed to be read a second time on Thursday week), by Lord Chief Justice Denman, is entitled an act "to enable certain persons of the denomination of Christians called Baptists, to make affirmation, in- stead of swearimr, in certain case's." It enacts that an,, person t a ivitne, or stirn- that any person fTc.ed as a witnes", or sum- moned as a juryman; mav take affirmation, instead of swearing- and the measure proceeds to enact that any person guilty of fklsely stating he be- longs to such denomination, shall he liable to be punished hy fine and imprisonment: and that any person who shall be convicted of wilfully giving false evidence, after having so alui'itsed, snail oe punished the same as for perjury; and that any person suborning another to give false evidence upon such affirmation, shall be subjected to the penalties attached to subornation of perjury.

COPYRIGHT.— The following is a summary of the law of copyriht in different countries in Europe, and in the United States :In England, twenty- eight years, and, if the author he alive at the ex- piration of that time, the remainder of life; in Bel- gium, during the life of the author, with trans- mission to his first generation in the Germanic Confederation, ten or twenty years, according to circumstances; in the United States of America, twenty-eight years, with a prolongation of It years if the author be alive at the end of the 28 years in the States of the Pope, during life, with transmission of twelve years to the author's heirs in Prussia, during life, and transmission of thirty years to the heirs in Russia, during life, with transmission of twenty-five vears to the author's heirs. A striking instance 'how the property of copyright lowers the value of books, ma y be gathered from the following fact :Ir. Bowring s "History of the Huguenots," 3 vols. 8vo. (two- thirds of which are French property, and one- third English, united in the same copyright), stereotyped in London, is sold at the very low price of Gs.

Good- man has backed himself for tloo to gallop one horse 20 miles in an hour, over Sunbury Common, Ion the 23d inst. £ 50 a side have been staked in the hands of Mr. Watson, and the remainder of the money is to he made good on Monday evening, the liist inst. A VESSEL ON FIRE.-On Saturday night last a destructive fire broke out on board of a large newly-built brig, called the Storm, belonging to Newcastle-upon-Tyne, laden with coals, while at sea on her passage to London. The tire was found raging in the buiidiead of the vessel. The hatch- way was covered over in the hopes of stifling the ,i y Nvas covere d over in flames, but in the course of an hour the terrible element burst forth through the deck, and the master, seeing there was no chance of saving the vessel, altered her course and steered for the Essex coast. They were at that time upwards of ten miles out from the land, with a strong grale blowing direct from off the coast, and it was near four o'clock on Sunday morning before the vessel was got on shore. At that period the fire pre- sented an awful appearance it was issuing from the head of the vessel vi-ith great violence, and it appeared impossible to prevent her being burnt to the water's edge. It was several hours before the fire was entirely extinguished. TRoors FOR INDIA. — Government is about to send fron: eight to ten thousand troops to India immediately. A more niuneri us force mav be expected soon to follow; so that the Governor- General will have troops enough at his disposal to revenge the injuries sustained by our arms in Afghanistan, and the murder of the British Envoy.
APPALLING MURDER.
APPALLING MURDER. THREE CHILDREN MURDERED BY THEIR FATHER.—SUICIDE OF THE MURDERER. Last Sunday morning, a catastrophe took place in the city of London, which has scnrcely ever been equalled, at least since the Steinberg tragedy at Pentonville, involv- ing, as it does, the horrible murder of three helpless chiidrer, by their parent, and the suicide of the murderer. Ni r. Lucas, aged 38, occupied the house -No. 4, Sion's Col- lege gardens, Alderinanbury, with Ill., family, consisting of Mrs. Lucas, three cl)ildj-eii: zt,ed ten years, Ann, aged seven, Alfred, aged four years, and his niece, who acted as servant, aged 15. AVhilst Mrs. Lucas was enA gaged in airing the clothes of the children, who were still in bed, in readiness for them to go to church with their father, which was their usual custom. Mr. Lucas shaved iiiniseh and went up stairs, as was supposed to dress. He had been tr("ie some time, when Ilrs. L. sent the servant tip stairs to dress the children. Oil eiitt-i-itig the hoy's room, the first object that met her eye was the corpse of her uncle and his child George oil the lioor weltering in blood. 1 nforinatiou was given ut' the occur- rence to a constable who accompanied hy other persons, first entered the middle room, Mr. and M:-s. Lucas's bed- room, and discovered the two younger children, Anna and Alfred, lying on the bed. which was deluged in blood, with their heads nearly severed from their bodies. The girl lay in the centre of the bed, and the little boy nearer the edge, both undressed, and their leg- drawn under then, as if they had struggled greatly, their parent had carriell tlieiii from their bedchai.-yer into his own, and then perpetrated the deed. They were quite dead. On opening the cider boy's sleeping apartment door, under which an immense stream of biood flowed into the passage, the body of George was discovered lying near it. with his head also nearly severed. The bouy of his father was lying with his head close to that of his child, with his throat also cut in a shocking manner, and a razor on the boy's check, as if, after committing the act upon himself, it had fallen from his right hand in the position where it was found. The poor boy was in his night clothes, with the exception of one stocking half up his )< f.r:d it is the opinion, that at the time his father entered the room the child was dressing, and that the poor little fell -w struggled desperately for his life. The body of the father was entirely dressed, with the exception of his neckerchief. Lucas was a ntan ot sober habits. He was, until Ja- nuary last, an agent to the tirm of M essrs. Bes.sett, woollen- dresseis, of Basnighall-street. w ht n he left ill con.sequcnce of their considering his mind not sufficiently strong to pursue the duties of such a situation. He subsequently obtained a situation in a floorcloth manufactory in the W estminster-road. but left a few weeks since from a simi- lar cause. He was a most kind and affectionate parent; but since he hss been out of employment he has been desponding and melancholy, and a day or two since threatened to lay \iolcnt hands upon h mself. The de- ceased went to bed at twelve o'clock on Saturday night with Mrs. Lucas, and whilst shaving himself appeared more cheerful than usual. At the suggestion of the Lord M ayor, Mrs. Lucas and her neice were removed from the neighbourhood. It will be remembered that this is the second murder and suicide which has taken place in Al- dermanbury, within the last s'x years, the sexton having cut his wife's throat in the church and then his own, and which circumstances induced the Bishop of London to consecrate it the second time. A lodger in the house ot Lucas on meeting him on Saturday etening, and reply- ing to his inquiry that he had not yet succeeded in bear- ing of anything for him. Lucas, rejoined, O, well, no matter, my mind is made up then." It however does not appear that his circumstances were at all embarrassed— the apprehension ot poverir alone being the only assign- able cause for his committal of the rah dcd, The case will remind those conversant uith the horri- ble bloodshed of liiseau, who. in lti06, murdered all his family at Hamburg; and of Steinberg, a German, but resident in Southampton-street. Penionviile, who, in ]S,">5» destroyed Ellen Lelere, Ins mistresa, ami hi*r children, including an unweaned baby, ltiseau was punivned by the laws of his land; Steinbeiv, like Lucas, accomplished his own destruction. The deceased lived on the most affectionate terms with every member of his family, but since January last has suffered extreme niciital depression at short intervals, which his friends atiributed to the loss of his situation at -Messrs. Bassett's his subsequent failure to fulfil the du- ties of the situation at the floor-cloth manufactory, winch appears to have arisen from his not understanding the technicalities of the business, inc eased his anxiety, and probably accelerated tile unfortuuate event detailed above. Ou Saturday his spirits were observed to be unusually low, and Mi. Green, his brother-in-law, sot up with him until a late hour, endeavouring to soothe his mind, which attempt the subsequent calamity proves to have been unavailing. A Coroner's inquest was held last Mond .y, when after evidence, the jury returned a verdict oi '• Temporary iu- sanity."
INVEIGLEMENT OF A HEIRESS,…
INVEIGLEMENT OF A HEIRESS, AND ATTEMPTED VIOLATION. We have hitherto purposely abstained from publishing the account about Cassidy, Miss Bellew, and Lord and Lady William Paget; but his lordship having now pub- lished a letter attempting to vindicate himself and his lady, we shall extract so much of it as may s hew the character of the affair. His lordship begins by admitting that Cassidy introduced Miss Bellew to him and his lady, and that they afterwards dined at an hotel together. M iss Bellew thence proceeded with the Douglasses alld Cassidy to Paris. We were," he says, in the same hotel with Miss Bellew, and dined with her. Even-thing went on amicably. I thought I had never seen two lovers play their parts better, when the denouement took place of Mr. Cassidy being found in Miss Beliew's bed- room. The next morning Miss Bellew sought refuge with Lady William, at:d proposed to her to take charge of and protect her." His lordship refused. "1 did not think she stood in need of any such protection; but, if she did, I naturally referred her to her particular friend Mrs. Douglas, who had originally introduced her to Mr. Cassidy, and with whom she had travelled from Devon- ¡' shire to London, and from thence to Paris, and with whom she stated she h"d lived on terms of intimacy in Devonshire for nine months. Upon my remonstrating with Mr. Cassidy on the brutality and indecency of Ins conduct, he exculpated himself by placing in my hands a note, bearing the initial s of Miss Bellew, making all assignation to receive him in her bed-room. I never saw on the part of any of the famous conspirators the slightest attempt to influence or controul Miss Bellew in anything or anything but the greatest kindness shown to her; and, without attempting io defend the conduct of Mr. Cassidy, I will say, that no man could receive the encouragement j which he always receiver! from Miss Relicw without r having a right to suppose that she intended to become his wife. I looked upon a marriage between M r. Cassidy and Miss Bellew as so probable an event, and I believed the parties to be so equally matched in point of worldly position and circumstances, and both so fully aware of what they were doing, that if I did say or do anything which might have had a tendency to the furtherance of this obj ct (but of which I am ignorant), it was only in accordance with my feelings, and with my belief that there existed no grounds whatever agn Ilist it; and I am sure if I had been asked by Mr. C. to do anything to forward it I should unhesitatingly have dotic so. On the other hand, if .Mr. Cassidy was himself aware of his impending bankruptcy (which does not at aM follow as a mutter of course), or if any of the other parties mentioned were aware of it, which 1 do not believe, I can find no words to express my detestation and disgust at such atrocious villainy towards Miss B., as well as towards Lady William and myself. In conclusion, I shall only add, that every syllabh which has been uttered or written, whether by Miss Bellew or her friends, to the prejudice of Lady William Paget and m self in regara to this affair, is a scandalous and infamous falsehood."
