Hence the necessity for the publication of a timely safeguard , a silent yet friendly monitor , or , wherf debility has made ! threatening inroads , the means of escape and the certainty of restoration . The evils to which the book adverts are extensive and identical in their secret ynd hidden origin , and there ! are none to whom , as Parents , Guardians , Heads of Families , and especially of public Schools , is confided the oaro of young people , who ought to remain for a moment devoid of that information and those ] salutary cautions this work is intended to convey .. ; Not only are the most delicate forms of generative debility neglected by the family physician , but they reauire for their ! safe management tho exclusive study of a life entirely abstracted from the routine of general practice , and ( as in other departments of the profession ) attentively concentrated in the daily and long continued observation requisite for the correct treatment of sexual infirmities . " If we consider the topics upon either in a moral or social view , we find the interests and welfare of mankind seriously involved . The effects of licentious , indiscriminate and secret indulgence in cortain practioes . iare described with ai * accuracy and force which display at once profound : reflection and extensive practical experience . "—The Planet . " The best of all friends is the Professional Friend and in no shape can he be consulted with greater safety and Beorecyjthan in " Lucas on Manly Vigour . " The initiation into vicious indulgenceits progress—its results in both sexes , are given with faithful , bat alas ! for human nature , with afflicting truth . However , the Authors have not exposed the evil without affording a remedy . It shows how " Manly VJgour" temporarily impaired , and mental and p hysical emasculation ; produced by uncontrolled indulgence of the passions , can be restored ; how the sufferer , who has pined in anguiBh from the consequences of early indiscretion—afraid almost to encounter his fellow man , can regain the vigour of health and moral courage ! The work is written in a concise and perspicuous stylo , displaying how often fond parents aredeceived by the outward physical appearance of their y outhful offspring ; how the attenuation ofthe frame , palpitation ofthe heart , derangement of the nervous system , cough , indigestion , and a train of symptoms indicative of consumption or general decay , are often ascribed : to wrong causes ; and in-Bteadof being tho natural results of « ongeuital debility or disease , are the consequences of an alluring and pernioious practice , alike destructive to the mind and Body /'—Bell ' s New Weekly Messenger , " Although a newspaper ia not the ordinary channel for the expression of opinion upon the merits of a medical work , this remark is open to exception in any instance where the publio , and not the isolated and exclusive members of the profession , are the parties addressed . Upon that which is directed to men [ indiscriminately , the world will form its own opinion , and will demand that medieal works for popular study should be devoid of that mysterious technicality in which the science of medicine has hitherto shrouded its own ignorance . The work before us treats of subjects we behove generally , yet very strangely , neglected by the medical attendant , and requiring doubtlessly Xas in operative midwifery aad the surgery of the eye ) an entire devotedness to a deeply important branch of study . The tone of this book is highly moral , and it abounds in wellwritten , harrowing , yet oVrrect displays of the suffering eonsequent upon unbridled sensualism . No human being can be the . worse for its perusal ; to multitudes it must prove a warning beacon , a well * told jappeal to reason , a ! permanent blessing .

THE CORDIAL BALM OF SYR 1 ACUM . Is a gentle stimulant and renovator ofthe impaired funotions of life , and is exclusively directed to the cure of the Generative System , whether constitutional or acquired , loss of sexual power , and debility arising from Syphilitic disease ; and is calculated to afford decided relief to those who , by early indulgence in solitary habits , have weakened the powers of their system , and fallen into a state of chronic debility , by Whioh the constitution is left in a deplorable state ,, and that nervous mentality kept up which places the individual in a state of anxiety for the remainder of life . The consequences arising from this dangerous practice , are not confined to its pure physical result , but branch to moral ones ; leading the excited deviating mind into a fertile field of seducive error , — into a gradual but total degradation of manhood—into a pernicious application of these inherent rights which nature wisely instituted for the preservation of her species ; bringing on premature decripitude , and all the habitudes of old age : — -such a one carries with him the form and aspect of other men , but withput the vigour and ' energy of that season which his early youth bade him hope to attain . How many men cease to be men , or , at leasts cease to enjoy manhood at thirty ? How many at eighteen receive the impression of tbe seeds of Syphilitic disease itself ? the consequen ' ces of which travel out ofthe ordinary track of bodily ailment , covering the frame with disgusting evidence of its ruthles 3 nature , and impregnating the wholesome stream of life with mortal poison ; conveying into families the seeds of disunion and unliappiness ; undermining domestic harmony ; and striking at the very soul of human intercourse . , j ,, The fearfully abused powers of the humane Generative System require the most cautions preservation ; and the debility and disease resulting from early indiscretion demand , for the cure of those dreadful evils , that such medicine should be employed that is most certain to be successful . It is for these cases Messrs . Perry and' 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 affections of the nervous system , obstinate gleets , excesses , irregularity , obstructions of certain evacuations , weakness , total impotenoy , barrenness , &c . As nothing can } be better adapted to help and nourish the constitution , so there ia nothing more generally acktuMvlcu ^ u to be peculiarl y efficacious in all inward wastings , loss of appetite , indigestion , depression of spirits , trembling or shaking of the bands or limbs . obstinate coughs , shortness of breath , or consumptive habits . It possesses wonderful ef&oacy in all cases' of syphilis , fits , head-ache , weakness , heaviness , and lowness of spirits , dimness of sight , confused thoughts , wandering of the mind , vapours , and melancholy ; and all kinds of hysteric complaints are gradually removed by its use . And even where the disease of Sterility appears to have taken the firmest Hold of the female constitution , the softening tonic qualities of the Cordial Balm of Syriacum will warm and purify the blood and juices , increase the animal spirits , invigorate and revive the whole animal machine , and remove the usual impediment to maturity . This medicine is particularly recommended to be taken before persons enter into the Matrimonial State , lest in the event of procreation occurring , the innocent offspring ' should bear enstamped upon it the physical characters derivable from parental debility , or evil eruptions of a malignant tendency , that are most assuredly introduced by the same neglect and imprudence . j ' Sold in Bottles , [ price Us . each , or the quantity of four in one Family bottle for 33 s ., by which one 11 b bottlo is saved , j Prepared only by Messrs .

. Iam : Borry tosee , that some of the yeomanry an npidly Jonldng into a character , that will not contri"buto to lender them more -estimable in the eyes of tteirfeQosr-citijens . from a mistaken idea , of maintsin ^ g the peace of tteii respective distzicta , of arles&ig auspscfeed per » o » , and of punishing the . idle and disorderiy—they have been led to oppress tbe poor ; < m -alight grounds , and sometimes , without soy grounds -whatsoever ; they have also , been betrayed into ^ ery injurious conduct in some iEEtances towards indltidnals in the respectable walks of life . I -would
conjure those gentlemen to avoid : such acts of indiscreet seal ; to TEfisct , that "they may bring disgrace and odium on the character of a yeoman ; as 3 that they do not essentally-servette cause of eovernment ; bnt , -on the contrary , alienate the minds of nanylojal and ¦ well-disposed persons ; and that such conduct must have a fatal influence on society by diffusing i secret inveteracy- and rancour between man and man , and disposing the sufferers their adherents and connections to a fatal retaliation , should matters in this country be fatally brought to the last extremity .
Tbe gentlemen of the yeomanry corps have strong ideas of a kind of military spirit or military honour , which , aa they think , implicitly binds the armed -n » nn 4 o obey , -without leserre , the orders of his commander . Such genUemen -sshol ^ r lose sight of ihe first aim and institution of ypftf ^ ff 3 Bt wninn'ttipTt't j and ¦ while they fancy themselves to s « soldiers , forget that they are f HHnm «_ I -would entreat them , in the moment of interference , en actual duty , to put tbemsslvea in the place of the persons whom they may be urged by others or inclined by themselves to maltreat ; let them sot trespass on tbe forbearance of a much-enduring people ; let tbem leave to the foreign mercenaries that Breathe Imprisonment death and desolation , the task of coercion ; and let them not seek to be recorded in history among tbe founders of military despotism in their native country .

the wish , for freedom , the censure of tbe present order of ngulatod corrupdon ; tE an reprobated , « id ascribed to the fatal and alarming progress of Prench principles . I will not presume to deny , that a great great nation triumphantly contending for- freedom furnishes an apt subject of criminating comparison , and contapeiiou * reference . I will sot venture to insinuate that the atrocities which disgraced the revolution in Trance may all be traced to their true soiree , in tbe widraa and perfidious interference of the coalesced powers . But why resort to Prance and French
principles ? Axe example and precept necessary to teach men to feel the law which nature has engraven on their hearts } Must tbe faint arid bleeding bond ? manirayel to France to learn that he I is oppressed -when the burthen actually galls ; bis shoulder , and the scorpion lash of his tormentor descends on his back ? Thai there isjoom—room did I say ? An urgent and iaiperious necessity fer a reform in our corrupted constitution , and an amendment in the condition of the miserable people is a truth written in the bleod of the Irish peasant ; and be that runfl may read it by the light of the flimes that consume the cottage .
There are -two psrldes in this country that like to profess themselves friftnrta of the constitution . The adherents of the one profess an enthusiastic admiration of our inestimable constitutioB , not only in its substance , but in all its present forms ; and think an attachment to the British constitution may be best manifested by vehement expressions of loyalty to the British Sovereign . The other party would willingly concede something to the changes which efflux of time ! has "wrought in tbe sentiments and circumstances of men , since various parts of the British constitution were first framed and settled as they now exist According to the opinions of those men , a true regard to the spirit and sub-Btanee of tie constitution , would lead by a blind devotion to mere forms , but by a temperate pursuit , through legal
means , to the emancipation of the oppressed Catholics of Ireland , and to a solid and effectual , not an aristo cratic and illusory reform in Parliament Bach of these parties accuses its rival of secret aims dissembled with cautions art , ¦ and far more extensive and alarming than the avowed ostensible objects . The friends of Reform susp&et their opponents of conspiring to extend the prerogative of the crown , an ft « ven of harbonring a covert wish to effectuate the Union between Ireland and Britain , as the only sure method of rendering permanent the connection ef the two countries . Toe opposite party chaige ths friends of relorm -with , what they deem an heinous crime , a secret predilection for a Bepublican form of Government , and a design to attain this darling object , under ; the specious pretext of a Parliamentary Reform . i
I bold it fair to judge of men from their professions as long as their transactions are conformable . The secret intentions of the heart ' can be known only to the great searchers of hearts ; but I believe , in fact , that each of the parties I have mentioned might be subdivided into two classes . The first into constitutional royalists , oi honest alarmists ,: and the ! minions of power ; the creatures and adherents without discrimin ation or free will of every adminUtratiom who thrive on the abuses and corruptions of Government ; tke latter into eonstitntional royalist reformers aad secret
republicans . The ministerial royalii * abhors all reformers alike as his natural enemies ; for all reformation tends to cut off a gainful traffic in abuses to remove the disorders in the state , to which these vermin owe their existence and magnitude . On the other hand , tbe friends of reform are apt to consider the persons who dignify themselves exclusively with the appellation of tbe supporters of Government as enemies of the country , in general , and of the reformers In particular ; aa persons who thirst for their destruction , and wish to extinguish all free inquiry { and public spirit ;
ImpartiaDity obliges me to say , that from my observation < and I converse much with people of both descriptions ) the reformers , though violent perhaps in their polities , are moderate in their demeanour ' compared with their opponents ; and controversy on their parts , ( with , a few exceptions among tbe lower order , } 1 « free from . personal outrage , aad has not degenerated into savage ferocity and thirst of blood . What change the' conduct of their adversaries may produce is not easy to conjecture ; the other party axe actuated by a rage more than human ; theirteeth are spears and arrows , and their tongue a sharp sword . They brand those who differ from them in polities with opprobrious
epithets—incendiariesanarchists—traitors , and rebels No professions of loyalty or real for the British constitution' can appease their fury . Every man who wishes for ] a Reform in Parliament , or even with the' utmost diffidence intimidates a doubt of the immaculate purity of Govern , meat lx > th In theory aad practice , is a traitor in hia heart , and sbonldbfi rat off from the faee of society They would prefer , as they sample not to declare , the open rebellion of tbe reformers to their concealed hostility . They seek to light the torch of civil discord The sabre thirsts in their bands . They long to immolate thousands , and tens of thousands , at the Moloch-like shrine of a Minister , to -whom myriads of Hecatcombs have been already offered . 1
Such are tbe parties into which tbe pe » ple of B fls country seem to be -divided at ptesent . The voice of the moderate and wholly unprejudiced few , is too faint to be beard between them , much less to restrain their rage . The number of the moderate diminishes daily ; they are like an Isthmus , on which the tide perpetually gains—they will soon disappear , in the tumultuous swelling of the parties that surrounded them . Let us analjzB the partie 3 into which the people of Ireland are divided , and resolve them into their component elements—and first let us see which are the classes of men that devote themselves without reserve to the Government party .- The most striking and the most vehement are the clergy of the ^ established chnrch . Nor ean it excite our wonder . Their numbers in this
country are unnecessarily great , in proportion * to the numbers of people who are of the « aie ' : persuasionand the possessions of the established church in Ireland , are unreasonably , enormously great , whether considered with respect to the numbers of the clergy , ei to the aggregate property * f tbe country . The established clergy , therefore , view the subject of Revolution with eyes of anxious fear and abhorrence . They are sore and tremblingly alive to everything [ that tends to innovation . They see that the property of the church was sacrificed to the genius of Revolution in Prance ; and their experience of this renders them inimical to all information , lest it should indispensably lead on to revolution- The majority of the professors and retainers of tbe law- are of the same party . This I attribute to the extensive influence of the patronage of
tbe Crown , on a profession , which I fear is too apt to cherish sentiments of selfish venality . There are unnessary and necessary places under Government of an incalculable amount in number and value * in this king , dom ; the collection of the revenue , in particular , is profuse and expensive ia a most culpable degree . By these means the country is overspread with a host of placemen and expectants . To this we may add the military patronage—and we shall find a third class impliddly devoted tothepaity of Government , and loud and violent in the defence of its very abuses . It is not surprising that in a corrupt rtate of society , the sets of men in question , should blindly devote themselves to | the court party . They are influenced by a sense of present interest ; but it is somewhat extraordinary to find the great body ot the aristocracy of thesomntry ranged under the same standaid . *
To trhat shall we ascribe this oblivion of their proper character and functions , this direlection of their situation and influence in the community of this base political suicide ? To three causes—a corrupt and neglected education in the higher ranks of the community ; a degree of luxury and expense vastly [ beyond their means , rendering them at once proud , unfeeling , necessitous , and dependent ; but above all—to the pro--yineial situation of the coantry . It is now tome that we should consider the elements of which the other party is composed . ' ;
Two - very different sects of Christians h&ve concurred in ranging themselves under the ensigns of Reform : the Catholics * f Ireland , and the Protestant Dissenters Of these in their order , the Catholics of this country are not what they were in the preceding centuries . We must not judge of them from the violent pastoral letters , breathing the spirit of ancient bigotry and un-Christian disunion , of one or two indiscreet and mediingmonks , who have happened to obtain nigh situations in the Romish Chnrch of Ireland . These unhappy priests , if they are sincere in what they profess , do indeed deserve our pity , and perhaps the aid of I > r . Willis . If they write from a desire ] of fishing in troubled waters , and at the impulse of men more im > portant than themselves , to instil , with malice
prepence , the poison of religious and civil discord , they deserve the severest reprobation . Asj to the great body of the Catholics of Ireland , the beams of philosophy have not dawned t > n them in Tain ; they Cave revealed to them their trne interests , and animated them with the warmth of benevolence and liberality . They are actuated , I am persuaded , with a true love of freedom ; they plainly perceive that religious distinctions have been too longtemployed for the base purpose of rendering human creatures the dupes of artful and wicked men , and the blind instruments of their own oppression . They stretch forth their arms with an amity truly fraternal to embrace their Protestant brethren of all descriptions . They are ready to concur with them , sincerely and vigorously , in the great work of reformation . ' :
Tbe Protestant Dissenters have been at all times disposed to maintain the cause of freedom ; bat it is a gross error and an high injustice , to cendude , that , because their habits and -manner of life are , comparatively speaking , simple , and their ecdesiwtlosj Governmeu baa a republican form , that they are of coarse champions for democracy in temporal establishments Many of the dissenters are persons of ) large fortune , deeply interested In the continuance of public credit . We cannot rationally supposa that such persons would bo the friends of anarchy , or the ringleaders of innovation .
The forms of their religion , it is true , exhibit an example of rational equality—and the prscepta of their religion lead them in common with other Christians » hoattend tothe spirit and precepts of tbeGospel , to a temperate fire of freedom . This is all that ean fairly be inferredfrom the religion of the dissenters with respect to their political sentiaents . The dissenters , in common with their Catholic brethren , have ! learned , by a tedious lesson in the school of adversity ; to be friends to civil and religious liberty , even on a principle of selfishneBB , as requisite to their own perfect emancipation , and full enjoyment of civil rights .

Tothe two great bodies or Catholics and Protestant Dissenters , I wffl * 4 d certain philosophical « rijp » Cttlativeminds ; that flUed with abstract notions of freedom , and smit with the charms of theoretical perTection in Government , aim at a general participation or the rights of in pa , on the * bread principle of the French Revolution . Such are estimable men but I apprehend that their nnmber in Ireland is not very great ; I believe they abound more in England . There are also some ambitions , disappointed , oppressed and injured men , particularly in the army , and in the learned professions , who are disgusted with the impenetrable
routine of arUtocratic influence , '¦ the sMreepingvortexof court favour , and seek for the gratification of their cupidity , . their vanity or their vengeance , in a new order of things . These two Inst descriptions of men do not avow their aims ; they conceal themselves among their royalist reformers , and concur in their measures , as an intermediate step to the object of their wishes . An argument has been drawn from the republican views of some persona against any concession to the friends of reform . The answer is obvious , and has been often given , that temperate concessions , perfectly consistent with the continuance of royalty , nay , tending to ita tbe
perraament establishment , -would satisfy ^ major part of the reformers , and detach them effectually and immediately from their more violent associates and fellow labourers . What shall we say of the Government that deliberately prefers the state of civil outrage , and a Government by mflitary force to the trial of this mild expedient ? jf conclude this long scrall , with assuring yon through all changes and chances of this mortal state of the friendship of *> MONTANUS .

Faux Accident to Captains Drew and Jones , —With deep regret we announce tbe death of these gentlemen , two of tbe Elder Brethren of the Trinity house , London .

It afterwards proceeded towards the Gairlooh , keeping near the Roseneath shore } but it had not proceeded far up jwhen it turned round and again set out for sea , . Its length has been estimated at from 60 to 70 toet . —Glasgow paper . : Success . —The astonishing increase in the sale of Parr ' s Life Pills , affordB strong evideace ia favour of their efficacy .
