Uiiquestion ably this is a most extraordinary and skilful work, and ought to be extensively circulated for it is quite evident that there are peculiar habits acquired at public schools and private seminaries, which are totally unknown and concealed from the conductors of those establishments, and which cannot be too strongly reprobated and condemned. The Engravings that ac- company the work are clear and explanatory and being written by a duly qualified medical practitioner, will doubtless be the means of saving many a youth, as well as those of maturer age, from the various evil conse- quences resulting from early indiscretions." -.Ila!iiiet. "This work has the advantage over other treatises on the same subject, in being the production of a regularly educated and duly qualified member of the medical pro- fession, who has had very great experience in the treat- ment of a class of infirmities resulting from secret habits and excesses, fiwhich, for their treatment, the utmost secrecy, confidence, and skill, is so essentially requisite." -London Journal.

My cough was so bad in 1843, 4, and 5, that I was scarcely two months without being under the Doctor's care; at the end of 1845 I was so very ill with it that my wife and friends, and even the Doctor, gave me up; I could not walk across my room and the phlegm nearly choked me; but, thanks to your valuable Cough Lozenges, they effected a complete cure for the first night I took them I slept without coughing, and in a week I was quite well, and have not taken any other medicine, or been laid up one day since. I wish for the good of my fellow-sufferers, that you would pub- lish these i'acts. I remain, Sir, your obedient and grateful servant, JOHN RANDEEL. To Mr. Keating, 79, St. Paul's Churchyard.

SIR,—There is a peculiar herb in the compound of Lipi., PILLS, which no other Patent Medicine possesses, which I am ready to testify, and will give any information by applying to me or Mr. Batters, Notting- ham. I am 54 years of age, and have taken every kind of medicine, and none had the desired effect but PARR'S LIFE PILLS in curing myself of the Rheumatism. And when I lay on a bed-or have sometimes sat up for nine weeks, I received no relief until I took PAlm's LIFE PILLS, which ultimately effected a cure. I will also give you my wife's statement in her own words I was taken ill of the Typhus Fever and was not able to move from the bed. Through my husband taking PARR'S LtFr, PRLLS I thought I would try them, and took two pills at nine o'clock in the morning still was not able to move, but gradually afterwards I became better. I then took more, and, at three o'clock, I was enabled to walk in the garden, and in a few days I was quite restored. This is truth, and no fiction I am now forty- six ycais of age. I am, Sir, yours respectfully, SAMUEL WATERALL. Communicated by Mr. J. GAMIS, Yeovil. Yeovil, July 13th, 1846. SIRs-Having during the last two years witnessed the remarkable efficacy of PILLS, I feel much plea- sure in stating the following cases for the encouragement of others.

Another person, aged 76, affirmed, that after trying almost every medicine for Indigestion and Bilious Complaint, that P.um's LIFE PILLS stand unequalled, and emphatically said it was the best aperient medi- cine extant. W. E. A young man, who had for a long time been rendered incapable of following his usual employment, being painfully afflicted with a most obstinate complaint in his stomach, is now able to follow his usual employ- ment, by persevering in the use of PARR'S PILLS.

Who has been sadly afflicted with Rheumatism for two years, has found these pills a perfect antidote, by having recourse to them especially in the Spring and fall of the year. These are but few amongst the very many testimonials that I have received of the good effects of PARR'S LIFE PILL'S for all Disorders in the Head and Stomach, and particularly for all Rheumatic Complaints.

ASTONISHING EFFICACY OF HOLLOWAY'S OINTMENT. A WONDERFUL CURE OF DREADFUL ULCEROUS SORES IN THE FACE AND LEG, IN PRINCE EDWARD ISLAND. The Truth of this Statement wis dilly attested before a Magistrate.  HUGH MACDONALD, of Lot 55, in King's I County, do hereby declare that a most wonderful preservation of my life has been effected by the use of Holloway's Pills and Ointment; and I furthermore de- c lare, that I was very much afflicted with Ulcerous Sores in my Face and Leg so severe was my complaint, that the greater part of my nose and the roof of my mouth was eaten away, and my leg had three ulcers on It, and that I applied to several Medical gentlemen, who prescribed for me, but I found no relief. My strength was rapidly failing every day and the malady on the in- crease, when I was induced to try Holloway's Medicines. After taking two or three boxes, I experienced so much relief, and found the progress of the disease was so much arrested, that I was enabled to resume my ordinary labours in the field. The sores which were so disagree- able and repulsive to behold are now nearly all healed. Having received such truly beneficial aid, I feeimyself bound to express my gratitude to the person by whose means I have thus been restored from the pitiable and miserable state I was in and for the sake of humanity make known my case, that others similarly situated might be relieved. (Signed) HUGH MACDONALD. This declaration made before me, at Bay Fortune, the 3d day of September, 184-5. JOSEPH COFFIN, Justice of the Peace. The above case of Hugh Macdonald, of Lot 5.5, came personally under my observation; and when he first ap- plied to me to get some of the Medicines, I thought his case utterly hopeless, and told him that his malady had got such hold that it was only throwing- his money away to use them. He, however, persisted in trying them, and to my astonishment I find what he has aforesaid stated to be perfectly correct, and consider the case to be a most wonderful cure.. (Signed) WM.

Copy of a Letter from Mr. Joseph Gildon, Jun., a Partner, East Keal, near Spilsby, Lincolnshire, 8th April, 1846.— To Professor Holloway. Slll,-I have the gratification to announce to you a most wonderful cure wrought upon myself, by the use of your I Ointment and Pills. I had a severe attack of Erysipelas in my right foot, which extended along my ankle, and was attended with swelling and inflammation to an alarming de- gree, insomuch that i was unable to move without the use of crutches. I consulted a very eminent Physician, besides other medical men, but to no purpose. At last I tried your Ointment and Pills, when, strange to say. In less th.111 two weeks the swelling and inflammation gradually subsided to such a degree that I was enabled to pursue my daily avoca- tion, to the utter surprise and amazement of those who were acquaintetl with my case, seeing that 1 was cured so quickly. 1 and my family are well knuwn here, as my father holds his farm under the Rev.

IRELAND. I
IRELAND. I We have still the most distressing accounts of dearth and destitution. The deaths from starvation are rapidly increasing in the western and southern counties —to such an extent, indeed, that some of the local journals find it impossible to publish reports of all the inquests. The Sligo Champion reports sixteen inquests, in all of which the verdicts were Death from star- vation." The Cork Reporter says :—- The duty of publishing reports of inquests held on persons who have died by starvation" has now become so frequent, and such numbers are daily reaching us from every part of the country, that the limits of our space do not admit of their publication. Our reporter sends particulars of fifteen such cases from Bantry yesterday, and mentions that twenty more had occurred during the week, but inquests could not be held and we received this morning from Mallow reports of eleven inquests held by Richard Jones, Esq., on persons who had died from want of food. Communications pour in from every district, a tithe of which we could not find room for, stating similar appalling facts. The reports from Kerry are equally afflicting as to the ravages of famine. Typhus fever and dysentery too, are spreading in the most destitute districts. The returns from all parts of the country have continued to show a decided fall in all kinds of grain, which appears to be unanimously attributed to the measures adopted by Government for facilitating the introduction into this country of corn and other breadstuffs. The most afflicting accounts of the spread of fever, arising from famine, were laid before the Central Board of Health, in Dublin, on Monday. These accounts are from various parts of the country, but the worst arc from the province of Ulster. In the workhouse of Lurgan, one of the principal seats of the linen manu- facture in the county of Armagh, the deaths have increased to a most alarming extent. In the first week of January they amounted to thirty-five; but last week the deaths in the workhouse, containing less than 800 persons, amounted to ninety-five. The Board have directed a medical officer to proceed to Lurgan, and report upon the state of the workhouse there. Another medical officer has been sent to Tulla- more, King's County, where fever has increased to an alarming extent. A case of forgery, in the Court of Queen' Bench, Dublin, has excited considerable interest—that of the Queen at the prosecution of the Trustees of the Charities of Joseph Evans r. William Grace:— The prisoner, who was late High Sheriff of the city of Kilkenny, was indicted for forgery, with intend to defraud the trustees of the late Mr. Evans, of Kilkenny. The estates, vested in trusts, left by Mr. Evans for charitable purposes, produced a net profit of about JE 1,000 a-year. In 1S36, Mr. Grace was appointed the agent of this body, and the care of their common seal was appointed to him. When Mr. Grace was appointed agent, a considerable portion of the property was invested in Government securities, and it was for forging a deed or letter of attorney, on the 16th of January, 1843, whereby he obtained possession of £ 1,567 4s. 9d., that he was indicted. Dean Vignoles and other trustees of the charity were examined for the prosecution, after which Mr. Brewster addressed the jury for the prisoner. He admitted that a baeach of trust had been committed, but that was very different from forgery. He regretted that his client's offer to give security for the re-payment of the money was not accepted. The jury, after a short deliberation, returned a verdict of Guilty." Sentence was not passed. BARBAROUS OUTRAGE.—A barbarous outrage upon the household of a faithful steward was committed on Wednesday evening, between seven and eight o'clock, at Camass, in this county, the residence of Frederick Bevan, Esq., when seven armed men entered the lodge gate of Patrick Mac Namara, and five of them forced in the door of his habitation. They immediately knocked him down upon the floor, and broke his jaw bone with the butt of a gun. They next fired at their prostrate victim, and lodged two balls in his thigh. When his poor wife rushed, with an infant in her arms, between her bleeding husband and his murderous assailants, one of the ruffians struck her a severe blow on the head, and the innocent woman fell senseless to the ground. They also attacked another female in the house and fractured her skull The atrocious miscreants imme- diately left, having in less than ten minutes converted a happy and peaceable home into a human slaughter- house.—Limerick Chronicle. j
SCOTLAND.
SCOTLAND. The various district and local committees that had been formed for the relief of the destitution in the Highlands, have been consolidated in one Central National Board in Edinburgh. From one source alone, the Free Church committee, 1:5,000 in money, besides grain and meal, were immediately made over to the new board. The food riots in the north have been suppressed, and a better feeling has happily begun to prevail amongst the misguided people The Aberdeen Herald thus moralizes upon the subject — This happy result has not been brought about without difficulty, and a resort to measures which show that, long as the school-master has been abroad, sound principles of economy have not yet taken possession of the minds of the multitude. Even among persons who are tolerably well informed there is a lurking prejudice in favour of those absurd notions that led to the stoning and maltieating of forestallers and regraters, and hardly anywhere is there a clear perception of the important truth, that neither legislative interference nor popular violence can permanently, or at all events usefully, alter the relations that subsist between supply, demand, and price. We trust these outbreaks will have the good effect of helping on the question of national education, as they have already been the means of drawing forth" the resources of charity" There have been turbulent meetings at Paisley, growing out of the scarcity of employment. The provost had, however, mitigated the tumult by pro- viding webs for those on the relief fund, on condition of their forming themselves into parties of 20, and giving certain guarantees for the due execution and return of the work.

THE NEW PRUSSIAN- CONSTITUTION. — Without doubt the establishment of the representative system in Prussia is one of the most important events of our time, and we trust that the anniversary of the day on which Frederick William IV. performed the promrse of his reign, and began the highest and most arduous duties of his life, will long be celebrated with the bless- ings of successive generations of a free and prosperous people. AVhatever be the precise forms adopted by the cabinet of Berlin in the discharge of the highest func- tions of organic legislation which can be assumed by the rulers of a state, and whatever may be the precautions introduced to regulate the application and activity of political powers, whose real energy and direction are still unknown even to those who are about to use them, I these considerations are altogether subsidiary to the formal recognition by one of the great absolute mo- narchies of Europe of a popular power in the political government of the country. That one fact—that plain conviction, which has been suspended and disputed long enough to weary German patience and patriotic hope, will at once rouse not only the people of Prussia but of all Germany to an earnest and energetic sense of their duties, their power, and their rights. It would be pre- sumptuous to attempt to offer, on the mere cursory in- spection of these important instruments, a detailed or critical opinion of their provisions, or of their political effects. For the present we confine ourselves to stating that the assembly which is about to be convoked at Berlin, under the name of the United Diet of Prussia, will be composed of all the members of the eight pro- vincial diets of the kingdom, who will have seats in aile or other of the two houses of the combined assembly. The upper one of these houses will be that of the llurrenstand, or peerage, consisting of the princes of the blood royal, and all princes, counts, and peers of the ancient states of the German empire or of the pro- vinces. The lower house will be composed of the Rit- terstand, or knights, comprised of the representatives of the gentry, the towns, and boroughs, now entitled to seats in the provincial diets. Of the powers of these assemblies the most important are an absolute control over the creation of all new loans or fresh taxation, except under urgent circumstances in time of war. This is the only strictly legislative function which ap- pears to be distinctly provided for but it is obvious, that if the crown cedes to the people the right of de- termiinn" the extent of financial burdens to be imposed upon it, the people will ill the end exercise an effectual control over the policy of the government. It is, per- haps, desirable that the changes thus introduced should not be too sudden or extensive. These institutions suffice to give the nation ft public voice, and the control of the treasury in its important operations and its ne- cessities and those conditions suffice to lay the basis of a free Toverrfmcnt, which can only grow to a pros- perous result with time, experience-, and patriotic care. — Times.

TENANT RIGHT.
TENANT RIGHT. [From the Mark Lane Express.] We experience great pleasure in being enabled to place before our readers the Bill for the improvement of Agricultural Tenant-right in England and Wales," to which we partially alluded last week, as proposed and brought into the House of Commons on Tuesday last by Mr. Pusey. It will be seen that the improvements, for which it is proposed to secure compensation to the tenant, are of three kinds, distinguished as temporary," durable," and" permanent." The "temporary im- provements" are described as the purchase or prepa- ration of artificial manures, and the purchase of food for cattle;" the "durable improvements," as "draining, marling, or otherwise amending the soil and the per- maneut improvements," the raising or constructing new fences, roads, or suitable and necessary buildings." So far as regards the first class of these improvements, the "temporary." it is manifest that the question of compensation applies to every tenant farmer who does not enjoy the security of a lease, and hence is exposed to be suddenly evicted from his farm. The second class of improvements, the 11 durable," are of a mixed cha- racter, the draining" being in the nature of a perma- nent improvement, and which we think should be exe- cuted by the landlord the marling," an operation, we believe, always executed by the tenant, but which, from its costly character, and the period necessary to repay the outlay, requiring a certainty of tenure, or security for reasonable compensation, ere any prudent man would embark in it. The third and last, permanent improve- ments," clearly and indisputably appertain to the land- lord, and if executed by the tenant, must be regarded in t. light of an advance of capital to the landlord, to be repaid in such manner as may be agreed upon. It is proposed by the Bill to give to every tenant, on quitting his farm, from whatever cause, compensation for" any outlay effectually and properly incurred for manure, for which sufficient time has not elapsed t-o en- able him to reimburse" himself—the expenses in- curred in the ordinary course of good and clean husban- dry" not being included. This portion of the Bill embraces all that we have contemplated in our ad vocacy of 11 Tenazit-rigbt." AVe have sought, aud still seek, protection for the capital uf the tenant. We have looked at the character of the oc- cupation of the tenant-farmer—we have seen that with- out reference to improvements of a permanent character, it is impossible for him to carry on his business bene- ficially, without frequently making an outlay, which of necessity requires several crops, and consequently as many seasons, to reimburse him. We have contended, therefore, and still do contend, that however obtained. whether by legislation or otherwise, the cultivation of the soil cannot be carried on in the best manner calcu- lated to secure the greatest return to the tenant, to im- prove the property of the owner of the land, and to in- crease the gross amount of produce, thereby securing cheapness and abundance to the public, until the capital, skill, and industry of the tenant-farmer enjoy the same degree of security which is afforded to the other great industrial classes. Mr. Pusey has, with the highly meritorious and patriotic desire of encouraging agricultural improve- ment, in a bold and energetic manner introduced into the bill the two other important classes of improvement above alluded to. As regards draining, the consent of the landlord is necessary to entitle the tenant to com- pensation if the works be executed withinjÎvc years of the end of the term of occupation. By this arrange- ment it is impossible that the landlord can be called upon for any large amount for such improvement, without his previous consent having been given. As regards the third class permanent improvements" such as building, fencing, road-making, &c., the con- sent of the landlord is indispensable to entitle the tenant to compensation. As, however, there are many cases in which the tenant might erect buildings for carrying on his business at his own cost, but the term of occupation might not suffice to enable him to reim- burse himself the expense, power is given to him to remove such buildings, if the landlord declines to make compensation for them. In estimating the amount of compensation, the benefit which the tenant may have derived from their use is to be taken into consideration. Existing contracts are not to be interfered with nor any special agreements which are not contrary to the principle of the Bill. The proposed enactment places the law, as regards buildings erected for farming pur- poses, upon the same footing as those erected for the purposes of trade, and indeed extends the principle laid down by the courts of law in reference to buildings and fixtures used in trade and manufactures. The subject of" Tent-right" is now brought fairly before the Legislature, aid measures should be tr.ken by the tenant-farmers, throughout the length and breadth of the land, to make known their sentiments upon it. ——.—«.

We regret to learn that the absence of Col. Wood, M. P. for the county of Brecon, from his Parliamentary duties, is occasioned by the illness of Mrs. Wood. -p- ost. LORD G. BENTINCK'S Scir-iir-Three separate meetings on this subject were held on Thursday. The usual supporters of ministers met Lord J. Russell and several of his colleagues at the Treasury, when his lordship announced his determination to resist the measure, and if defeated, to resign. A numerous meeting of Irish Peers and Commoners took place, and resolved to request Lord G. Bcntinek to postpone his Bill until the temporary measures for Ireland were pissed. The country party" had also a meeting, where the general feeling seemed to be that the bill should be at once proceeded with. MURDER.—A shocking murder was committed on Sunday night at Newborou?h, near Hexham, on the line of railway between Newcastle-upon-Tyne and Car- lisle. It appears that a labourer named Proud, living at Newborough, having a child baptized, repaired, as is J usual in this locality, to a public-house to celebrate the event with some friends. While there a dispute arose with another man named Welsh, who was drinking ill the house when the party entered, but no particular no.ice was taken of the deceased. Proud and his friends left the house on their way homeward, and were followed by Welsh, by whom the dispute was resumed, and when they were near New borough, Welsh seized Proud aud cut his throat in so dreadful a manner that the poor fellow died almost immediately. Welsh ran off, and drank a quantity of whiskey at the public-house he had shortly before left, and then went towards the Fornstones-station. Meanwhile intelligence of the oc- currence spread, and in a very short time the murderer was apprehended. The inquest was held on Tuesday, when a verdict of wilful murder was returned against Welsh. UNITED STATES AND MEXICO.— By the arrival at Liverpool, on Thursday, of the New York packet ship Queen of the West, after a voyage of fourteen days from New York, papers to the 23d ult., inclusive have been received. The Boston steamer of the oth January, the Hibernia, had not arrived out up to the time of the present departure; she had probably experienced severe weather, which would cause her to make a somewhat longer voyage than usual; she had been out 17 days, her voyage at the same period of 1845 having taken 18A days. The latest dates from England were from Liver- pool to the bta, by the Qucbec, but although these carried out accounts of the still advancing rates of flour and Indian corn, holders had not been able to obtain more than a few cents, advance, which was not well maintained. The rate of exchange last quoted is 1061 to IOC)II. at which rate there is not much margin for profitable import. There had not been any later news receive^from the seat of war. The impending blow was !U)Jtt!? struck; but intelligence of an important charac6?)ras daily looked for, in the shape of a trial of strength between the Mexican forces under Santa Anna and the American army. The proceedings in Congress show that great dissatisfaction existed in that body at the prolongation of the war and, sick of the great drain upon the finances of the country, many did not hesitate to express their doubts of the ultimate success of the expedition. A very extensive tire had occurred at Boston, on the 21st and 22d, by which 100 houses and buildings were destroyed, and some lives, had b u'er' and 1 0 8 t. The property, however, was not of a very valuable dr- scription, but it was lamentable that at this season a great number of families had been rendered houseless. An important meeting had been held at Quebec, with a view to form a company for the establishment of a telegraph from that city to Halifax and Toronto. Also an important meeting had been held by the members of the Boad of Trade. In tke report issued by that hoard it is recommended for the consideration of the home government that measures be taken for the repeal of the navigation laws, and also for the free navigation of the river St. Lawrence. A SECOND JACK SHEPPARD.—The notorious burglar lloic effected his escape from the lock-up at the station- house, Taunton. On Thursday morning last he was seen safe at one o'clock, and when they brought his breakfast the bird had flown. He was chained by the leg, but contrived to file the chain off, broke some I bars over the door, and made his escape over a high wa ll, and through a garden down Black Boy-lane, lie taunted the constable (spmer; Ifiat ne was not laggeu yet; though he had been in custody eleven times, he should have another turn yet and so it has proved. FRAUD.—The machinations of the crafty and design- ing are alike endless and inexhaustible. No sooner does an useful and excellent invention deserve and obtain the favor of the public, than it is immediately made the ob- ject of piracy and counterfeit of the basest kind. For- tunate]y, the arts supply the requisite protection and we learn with pleasure, that Messrs. Rowland, the sjn- rited proprietors of the invaluable Kalydor," have, iu self-defence, engaged those incomparable artists, Messrs. Perkins and Bacon, to engrave a label, which is not more admirable as exhibiting the perleciion of urt. ti^ui 1 as affording a pioteetion agaiiwt the base and do.-s^iiing-
