The Work which , ib now presented to the public is flie result of very extended experience in a class oi < &sease 3 and affections , which for some

      unaeeount-* ble reason have been either altogether overlooked , er treated with apathy , and alaost indifference , by the ordinary practitioner . To enter Into the details « f these affections , to point oat their causes , and to mark ihe terrific consequences , social , moral , and physic *! , which » re sure to fellow from indulgence , in cerrsia habit ? , woold be « i ' . irely oat of place in an advertisement . We have no hesitation , however , in j » yhnr tk&t there is r . e member of society , by wnom thfc beok will not b « s found interesting , whether we f . ov . Mdw suchjjersoc u > hold Hie relation of » PARENT , iPRECEPruR , or aCLERGYMAN .

      The PARENT , who feeholds his beloved child pining awsy , and fast Reproaching to a premature grave , ia consequence « tome dista . se , which for want of a careful investigation of its real cause , has beaa set down , to 4 he score of eongump-tion , will , on perusing this work , be astonished to find that in Bi&e-tenths of she cases of young persons of both seses , who perish of what is called pulmonary consumption , heart disease , tabes , < fcc , the soie ant exdofire origin has been the indulgence in certain destructive habits , practised by youth much more frequently thai is at all suspected .

      The PRECEPTOR , also , who holds temporarily , at least ( he . relation and responsibility of a pareut , wiil , fey $ « rusi » g this work , be directed , and very much aa&Bled ia investigating and detection the too oft £ n concealed practices bo often introduced iato eebeois , whereby the health and ultimately the lives of Bis pspik ^ -are Bure to be compromised , anlesR the evii . iwehecked in proper time . He wiu kere find a _« i 6 e to guide him through the intricate ttazes of this moral labyrinth , and & standard whereby to j * dge , when delicacy of health should appear to auaek any of his young charges , what the real cause of sach attack may be , &nd thus he will be enabled to cheek the evil in its incipient state .

      The CLERGYMAN , in whose sacred character is at once concentrated ihe twofold relation of parent and instructor , will here be directed as to the nature of those habits to which youth ia addicted ; ht will also be enabled to paint out the disastrous consequences which are ore to follow from them , if not relinquished .

      MEDICAL ADVICE . /\ F serioos Importance to tfcose who are suffering \ J from Venereal or Syphilitic Diseasea , Nervous , or Sexual Debility , Rheumatism , Scurvy , Scorbutic Eruption ? , and all Diseases arising from impurity of tiieBlood . Mr . LA * MERT , SURGEON , No . 21 , FALKUER-STREET , MANCHESTER , Licentiate of the Apothecary ' s Hall , London , and Honorary Member ef the London Hospital Medical Society , &c ., having devoted his studies for many years to the various diseases of the generative organs , aud to the cure of ihese iasiditms and often fatal diseases , at the various Hospitals i& L » adoo ,. and iu the Universities of Edinburgh a&d Dabit ** oanot refrain from directing attention totfa *~ 3 eplor&ble consequences bo

      The imperative necessity that exists for the complete eradication of these deplorable disorcers is evident from the fact , that this deadly common aaay lay imbedded in the constitution for yews , and it is of the utmost importance to those who are about to ibnn matrimonial engag-imenta to cleanse the system previously of all its gross impurities , in order to prevent those sad appearancea throughout entire families , -which are frequently the consequence of a protracted and incomplete eradication . '

      In tbosa deplorable cases of nervous and sexual debility , arising from early and indiscriminate excesses , where melancholy , distaste , incapacity for all pleasures , both mental and physical , and all the enervating imbecilities of old age are its attendants , the utmost endeavours should be made to avoid the despaif-imd misery which accompany these dreadful d&bilitiujT t ir i * . n lets to the powers ofnature aloac to Mfitore , Sij ^ iFfiieh fr equently hurries its victim to the grave ia ihe very flower of his vouth .

      SUPERINTENDENT OF STEAM VESSELSCaptain James Barber . Temporary Office , 8 , Tokenhoose-yard , Bank . The practicability of maintaining a Steam Commuuicatioa -with India by way of the R * d Sea has been fuHy prcwi I >/ lhe experiments tried by t& « East India Company , though , Itom the ¦ ineffioiefcw of the vessels employed by them , and , the nnavoidable irregularity of the Indian Dak , Its' advantages aul facilities have not been completely developed , while other reasons , arising from the urgency of the publie service , will prevent the East India Company from ever maintaininc the communication with the

      required certainty . The communication , moreover , has been of small value to passengers , because confined to the lint between Saer and Bombay—from whence to the Eastern side of India there is great difficulty In tb % transmission even of letters—whilst the conveyance of passengers and parcels is most expensive , and ^ gt seasons wholly impracticable . Neither can passant gers arriving at Sue 2 from England depend on finding the means of conveyance theuee to India . The British Government has recognised the necessity of entrusting the Post-office service to private associations , in all cases of distant Steam Navigation ! , The considerations which have led to this conclusion on the part of the Government apply with ten-fold force in the case of the East India Company . It is therefore proposed to establish a Company to carry into effect a plan whichby means of Steam

      , Ships of large tonnage and powerful engines , ehall connect the intercourse between Calcutta , Madras , Ceylon , aud England , in one unbroken chain , reducing the communication as nearly to a certainty as any human calculations and efforts can accomplish . It would be most desirable that the Presidency of Bombay Bhould also be included in the general arrangement , and there can be no d&ofet that eveutually this will be done ; but for the present the East India Company purpose to retain this in their ownhandB . With the foregoing views , communications have been opened wnn the Steam Committees in India , and by tte last mail the Directors have received remittances of money , with the assurance of additional subscriptions , provided the line between Suez and Calcutta , < fcc , ( now wholly unoccupied ) be established in the first instance .

      To meet the wishes o f the Indian public , and looking to an immediate profitable return in the general call for such a preliminary step , it is proposed to purchase and despatch to Calcutta , with the least possible delay , the largest steam-vessel procurable , to be employed between that port and Suz , making fear voyages from each place in the year . To carry the entire service into effect for a regularly monthly communication , it is intended to build seven steam-ships of such tonnage and power as to Ite applicable to the route by the Cape of Good Hope , in case of any interruption to that through Egjpt . The vessels will be also so constructed as to admit of their carrying au effectual armament in case of any

      warlike contingency . The number of passengers annually passing between Europe and our Indian possessions , was 3 , 169 m the year 1833-4 , of which 603 oaly were fronv Bombay , leaving 2 , 566 for Bailing-ships between Calcutta , Madras , and Ceylon , and Europe ; and it may be fairly assumed that at least one-third of that number will immediately adopt the shorter , cheaper , and more expeditious route which will be afforded by the establishment of the proposed first steamboat , that many persons will avail themselves of the Company ' s snips as a conveyance front port to port la India , and that there wilTbe eventually a great increase of travellers consequent on increased acilities . - '

      KEIGHLEY . ( The follotcing account of this affair , from our oven Correspondent , was , through delay , received loo iaiefor our first edition . ) Disturbances at Colne . —Since the introduction of the new police into Colne , scarcely a day has passed without riots and disturbances between them and the inhabitants . By whut has hitherto transpired , it appears that this mifecbievous body of idle men had done their utmost to exasperate the people One of their favourite employVNotB has been te annoy people while going peaceably about their business , b y thrusting them off the causeway , and then dragging them to the lock-up if they made any resistance . On Wednesday week , they had been particularly

      ofensive in their conduct , which so provoked the inhabit ante , that , towards evening , about 24 of them under took to walk up the street , each armed with a small stick . The sergeant of the police , on seeing this formidable body , immediately drew up his men , 21 in number , to r top their progress , and gave a signal for attack by firing » pistol . Another was instantly fired by one of the inhabitants , after which one of them stepped up to the sergeant , and knocked him down , lho police , on seeing their leader fall , inswntly took to their heels , aud found shelter in ; he best way they could . Three of them , in their haste to escape , got into a hay-loft , belonging the Black Bull public-house , and unfortunately tumbled through into a pig-siyo bolow , aniougst a number of

      the grunting family , who fled screaming in all directioua . The sergeant of the police , who bad been instrumental in producing this disaster to his men , lay for a considerable time on the ground , declaring he wag shot by the inan who fired the pistol . Some of the bystanders kindly lifted him up , and procaerfed to ascertain the place and nature of his wound ; but afte ^ searching some time they happily found he bad fallen through fright , and that the only damage ho had sustained was from th « fall , aud a certain deposit , of a very offensive 6 mell , lodged in the unmentionablo portion of his raiment . A body of military , from Burnley Barraoks , made their appearance soon after , when the people quietly dispersed . Oh Thursday , the day following , the police

      again commenced their t-ystem of wanton outrage . A man was passing peaceably on the causeway , when he was rudely pushed off . by one of the gang , who informsd him , at the time , that it was his business to walk in the middle of the street . The man got ou to the caueeway again , when two or three of the police seized him , and commeuced dragging him to the lock-up . Fortunately , three of the military had been watching the proceedings , and rescued the mau from their hands , tolling the police they had not come to defend them in such outrageous conduct . Several disturbances have taken place since then , through ihe brutality of the police , which , on Monday night last , led to the death of an individual named Joseph Hoistead , a cotton manufacturer , who had taken an

      active part in supporting the police against his fellow-townsmen . It appears that a resolution had been , formed by the town authorities , on Monday , to have a grand attack on the people , if they attempted to make any more opposition to their tyranny . For this purpose they swore in a large number of the miduie-olass to act as special constables , and about nine o ' clock on Monday evening , this body , about forty strpqg , headed by two magistrates , Wood and Fouldsk proceeded through the streets , three abreast , to read the Riot Act . Tiiis uuuecossary display led to a general engagement between the people and the specials , m which Hols tend , who had taken a very active part , lost his life . The contest , which took place after dark , was , by ali accounts , of a violent nature ^ Blows from sticks and stones were inflicted in all directions , aud a good many , on both sides .

      got severely injured . The specials were eventually routed , and the people , who were left masters of the field , concluded the business of the evening by breaking in the windows of a great number of those who had been moet instrumental in introducing the ruffianly pdlico into the town . Holstead , the victim of his own tyrannical conduct , was found , about hall' an hour afterwrads , laid in the street with his head " smashed to pieces , and his braina scattered on the ground . Tks injuries appeared to have been inflicted . with a heavy bludgeon , but , by whose hands , is yet unknown . AU people agree that the conduct of the magistrates , and town ' s authorities , has been calculated to rouse the inhabitants to madness , and their introduction of police into the &eaceable town of Colne Jias been an act of wSelese tyranny , never likely ; to lead to anything hnt theJosa of life and the destruction of property . ¦ Furthen ^ Particjdairs *>— 7 fo HtuilAi iufbrniatldriTTt

      appears uSfe about eight o ' clock on Monday evening » the pewla began to assemble ingroupBof a doeeu or twenty , during which time the authorities were swearing in special constables , selecting the strongest meii they could fiud , to the number of 150 . At about nine , o clock , the police , thirty-two iu number , made their appearance iu the street , and commenced inarching through the streets . In a few minutea , ' t ^ e principal street seemed quite deserted of people , but their sudden disappearance eeemed to alarm the police , who , suspecting that thejf had gone in quest of defensive Weapons , immediately mustered the specials to their assistance , armed with heavy bludgeons . After the junction between the two bodies , the magistrates

      read the Riot Act in several parts of the town , but as t&fja-main body of the people had retired in the direction of the new church , a little way out of the town , it was only heard of by the specials aud the police Shortly afterward ? , the body of people , who had retired so suddenly , again made their appearance to the amount of about 100 . The bludgeon men immediately made a movement with the lutentioa of surrounding them , but the crowd gave them the slip , and met them lnanopentag between St . John ' s-street and Clayton-street , where a regular engagement commenced . In a very few miniites ; the bulk of the

      police and specials fied in all directions , and threw themselves for shelter iuto any hole and « i * nerib . eyo <» uldfind .

      an alarm , bnt no soldiers makinf their appearance , they lost all hope , and fled . On the arrival of the military , a general search was commenced amongst the houses of persons suspected of taking an acute part in the proceedings , and those bearing any marks of blood or bruises were taken into custody . The people are roused out of bed in the dead of night , to submit to an inspection of their persons in search of blood or bruises , and the unfortunates possessing these marks of bludgeon government , are dragged off'to prison , to undergo further punishment .

      U 3 E 3 DS * Lbeds Universal Suffrage Association . —The weekly meeting of thisJBociety took place on Monday last , when several new members were enrolled ; after which the town was divided into wards , according to the Municipal Act , and persons appointed to form associations u every ward . Owing to a misunderstanding last Saturday night , there was no reading , but steps have been taken to prevent a like occurrence . It is hoped , therefore , that all persons will avail themselves of this privilege ; by attending on Saturday and Tuesday nights in goodly numbers . Mr . B&irstow will give , at the request of the Association , a lecture upon their principles * " on Tuesday night next , at tha Music Saloon , when all

      members are earnestly requested to attend , and to induce others to do bo . Town Council . —The quarterly meeting was held on . Wednesday , at the Court House . On the minutes of the proceedings of the previous meeting being read , it was discovered that Mr . Town Clerk had made a false entry respecting the motion of hi * brother Whig , Mr . Alderman . Hamer Stansfeld . That gentleman , at the last meeting , hod moved a resolution tantamount to an approval by the Couucii of his conduct at the anti-Church-and-State meeting at the Court House . An amendment was then proposed by the Tories , which was rejected by the casting vote of his Worship , the Mayor , but the original motion was never , p * tt , and , of course , could

      not have been passed . MevTowh Clerk had , however , for reasons which may be easily conceived , thought proper to enter tho motion on the miuutes as carried ; but the Tories having detected tne " mistake , " kicked up a row about it—very justly contending that it was probable a man mighi vote against the amendment , who still might not approve of the arificial motion ; and Mr . Town Clerk , with palpable reluctance , was obliged to erase the false statement . The business on the notice paper was then proceeded with . Mr . Alderman Tottie , chairman of the Finance Committee , brought up a report of the bills and expenses incurred in carrying out the fteVeral acts relating to municipal corporations , amounting to £ 833 2 s . 5 d ., and moved that

      theisame be paid . This gave occasion to Mr . Israel Burrows to observe that just in proportion aa the Tories in the Council increased , the expenses of the borough increased likewise ; to which the Tories replied that though it coud not be denied they were increasing in numbers in that Council , yet th * t the increase of the expenditure could not be justly charged upon them , inasmuch as ihe Whigs still possessed a majority there , though a very small one . From this it appears that the increased expenditure must be set down to either the Whig or Tory corporators upon their own showing ; aud we will venture to state it wilt go on increasing till they get some Ridica ) members among them . The money was , of course . ordered to be His the

      paid . Woruhip Mayor then moved that the report of the statistical committee should be printed , and presented to the Council as 8 'aon . as possible . It was suggested that the report had already been printed by the Statistical Society of Londou , who had got hold of it somehow or other , and that ic would answer all the purposes required if & hundred copies were ordered from London , at a twentieth-part of the expense that the priming would occasion . It appeared , however that the report was in the hands of Dr . Williamson who had been requested to revise it ; and Mr . Councillor AikiiiBon conceived it would be treating the Doctor with disrespect if they ordered the copies from town . This the poiite corporators could not of course dream of doing , and they accordindv

      unanimously saddled the town with the expense of the printing , Aldermen Goodman and Tottie , who bad at first been for the more economical proposition , protesting they could not think of doing anythingno , not eveu considering , the pockets of their confiding constituents—wfcich might have the most distant ap rearance of throwing oven the shadow of a slight upun the worthy Doctor , their colleague . A loiter , dated July 28 , received from the Town Ciork from the Deputy Clerk of the Peace , requiring the sum of £ 2 , 495 tor enlarging the House of Correction at WakeUeld , was then referred to the -Finance Committee , Alderman Tottie observing that they need not be in any hurry to pay it , as the alterations , had not yet been commenced . On

      Aemovon otwOttermau bateson , the copy of a letter from ; Mr . Coroner Blackburn , to Mr . Timnv , solicitor of fctainps and taxes , was expunged from the minutes of the Town Council , who came to the decision that it contained erroneous statements by the casting vote of the Mayor . Air . Councillor George Hay ward had pnt the last notice on the paper , wh ; ch was to niovo that the celebrated Chancery suit , commenced by the present Municipality against certain membei'B of the old Corporation , for the recovery of a sum of about £ 7 , 000 , should be abandoned . Mr . Hay ward was not present , and his friends , the Tories , having stated that he had gone into the country , sfcid th ey would withdraw the motion ; and they then rose , en masse , aud quitted

      the couucii chamber , with the exception oi Councillor Dr . Hunter , and one or two more . The Whigs , however , like their Ministerial patrons , stuck to their places ; and Aideroaan Toitie moved that a full account of the particulars of the suit should be drawn up by the committee for carrying it on , and printed lor the inspection of the ratepayers , who would then be in a condition to judge whether it should bo carried on or not . Ail the Whigs vot « d for it , and three Tories against it . Ihe worthy Alderman unbiuahin ^ ly advocated this step aa tt means of influencing the approaching municipal elections ; but as it appears that £ 1 , 500 has already been expended in the prosecution of this suit , aud as it cannot be brought oh in the

      Court of Cliitncery in less than eighteen months or two years , it is exceedingly doubtful whether the Whigs will gain anything by this move , which they appeared to think the perfection of generalship , i'lie noxfc election will settle the question . All the notices having been gone tarougti , Mr . Alderman Hamer Stansfeld again brought torward his motion before alluded to ; and , aa all the Twits -were absent , he of course carried it by a swiugmg majority , not , however , without a lecture from Alderman iioidforth , who , because hia conscience would not allow him to oppose the connection of Church and State , on account of his oath as a councillor , very stupidly came to the conclusion that therefore

      Alderman btansfeld was not justified in doing so , although he entertained no conscientious scruples on the matter . Aldermau Holdforth should t-ke a ieaf ouo oi the book of his worthy successor in the civic chair aud who , although he certainly has no pretensions to be considered a Solomon , realiy acted with common sense when , at the last meeting of the council , he stated that though he could uoc conscientiously preside over the anti-church-and-btate meeting yet that ho considered that Aldermau Sianafeld ' s conscience might lead him to a different conclusion , auci therefore gave his casting vote in favour of the wor- ^ thy Alderman . Such instances of rationality on the part of mayors aud civic dignitaries are eoseldom met with , that they should not bo passed over altogether silently . The council then adjourned .

      Another Secret Order Defiuudkd . On Tuesday , the 4 th instant , John Piushion , stuff weaver , who resided in New Church-place , Mabgate , an acting officer of the Palm Tree Lodge , No . 210 of the Ancient Order of Free Gardeners , ' held at the house of Mrs . Baxter , Wild Mau Lun , Q , uavry Hill , iu this town , was entrusted by the treasurer of the lodge with the 6 um of £ 5 14 s ., to pay the District Secretary , of whichsum he onl y paid £ 2 . 4 s ., stating that he would pay tho balance ia the course of next week , as the funds of the lodge were very low .

      name wunam i * opins « i » jfnow in good health , and residing at Wakefteld ); and obtained the sumtrf £ 10 , the amount due to the friends of a deceased member , from the fondk of the funeral fund . With this sum , and the balance above-mentioned , together with £ 4 17 b . 6 d . beWiug to the lodge , amounting in all to i , io Vs . od ., he has decamped , aud no trace of him baa as yet been discovered . Pinshion IS a native of the Emerald Isle , and is about five feet seven inches hi ^ h , and has lost the first joint of the fore finger of his right hand . He had ou , it is supposed , when he left Leeds , a blue coat , brown trousers , and plaid waistcoat . We sincerely hope that the offender may be brought to justice , as an example to oihera .

      The Hull and Selbt Railway Accident . — Another inquest was held at Howden , on Wednesday , which ended in a verdict of " Accidental death , caused by a piece of casting falling off a truck in the taraio on tho 7 th of August , which iron casting ° X ^ Briied aix carriages , with a deodand of fifty gtj £ § eas on the piece of casting . And in giving th » verdict , the Jury by no means think that sum sufficient to express their indignation , and they consider it their duty to observe , that great and inexcusable negligence has been manifested by the packing of this casting by all the parties concerned . And the Jury think it consistent ] in connexion with this awful eyeat , to state their deep regret tha the Directors of jhe Leeds and Solby , and the Hul and Selby Railways should , by their conduct , Banction the violation of the Sabbath .

      ROCHDALE . Church Rate . —On Friday last , both parties renewed the contest with inere&sed vigour . Vehicles of every description poured into the town from all parts of the surrounding neighbourhood , filled with voters of both sexes , with banners , music , and favours denoting to what party they belonged . All euded this day in good order . At five o ' clock the poll closed , and each party claimed being two votes a-head . At this both , parties had reconnoitring scouts out all night , in quest of voters , to whom they either paid their poor-rates or some other consideration : we are informed that £ 1 and £ 2 were given for

      a single vote . On Saturday noou the pouring in of voters did not diminish , but was kept up ou both Aides until five o ' clock , the time appointed by the Vicar for the final close of the poll , when the Vicar tfave out ( knowing bow he stood ) that he should keep open the poll for another hour , which ' was objected to by the anti-rate party , although nearly two hundred voters had just at the time arrived at the door against the rate . The anti-rate party closed ( heir books , but the Vicar ' a men kept the poll open till Bix o ' clock , and claimed a majority for therate of lib votes ; but at five o ' clock they were fifteen in the minority . The following , at thattime , was

      THE GROSS POLL : — For the r * te . 6 , 4 ^ 2 Against it 6 , 457 Majority 15 At the time it was announced that the poll was lengthened the thousands who had assembled to hear the decision of the affair began to shew signs of disapprobation , and endeavoured to keep back the votei-sy when the county police , who were augmented to about sixty , began to strike right and eft with their truncheons , and many a cracked lead was the consequence . In return , many a . broken shin and torn garment were made . Atthia moment Clement Royds , Esq ., a Tory magistral .

      , led up a detachment of 79 th Highlanders to the polling place , and begun to read the Riot Act ; at which time , also , William Chadmck , E .-q ., aLiberal magistrate , who had been all the contest neutral , hearing of the unfair play , came up- and ordered the soluieiy to a brick ground at some distance , went into the polling place , and in very warm terms remonstrated with the Vicar on his conduct . Iu all probability , had not Mr . Chadwick interfered , the consequences would have been of the most serious nature . Ultimately , the proceedings ended with nothing more than a few party fights . The contest rivalled any one we ever saw for a Member of Parliament , and thousands of pounds have changed

      hands on the occasion . The parochial officers , no doubt , are benefitted by the affair , as scores of pounds have been paid of outstanding rutes , to secure poor people ' s votes : £ 17 * were collected in one day at one overseer ' s office , for rates of this description . The Vicar , in consequence of bis late proceedings , has fallen into disrepute , and is censured by thousands of his parishioners . The anti-rateparty are determined to resist the rate at all hazards ,, and a public meeting is called ior Thursday , in the open air , at which the Chief Constable , Mi-John Howard , will preside , " to take into consideration the best means tube adopted to resist a rate so unjustly claimtd by the Church party .
