MR. OWEN. ADDRESS To me MEMBERS or me LEARNED Asa TNT NAVAL AND MILITARY PROFESSIONS. GENTLEMEN—Von have been trained and placed, by the circumstances of the society in which you have lived, in professions, by which to gain a livelihood or distinc tion. No one who is rational can attach blame to you on this acconnt. Your professions have arisen from two suppositions — first, that it is impracticable to form arrangements to produce wealth to satisfy all ; and, secondly, that man is capable of feeling and thinking ; and, consequently, of acting as he pleases. The time, however, has arrived when, by a new power unknown to our ancestors, more real wealth can be easily created, than the inhabitants of the world can advantage ously use ; or than they will ever desire to possess. And the late progress of knowledge has been such that it is become publicly known, that it does not belong to the nature of man to feel or to think as he pleases ; but that he is compelled to feel and to think, according to laws of his nature, made without his knowledge or consen t. In consequence of these changes in society, your pro fessions have become not only unnecessary, but most in jurious to yourselves, and to every individual of the human race. It becomes, therefore, your duty to yourselves and to your fellow men, to aid in creating other arrangements, to supersede all necessity for the longer continuance of 'your professions ; and your duty, in this case, will be found to be in strict accordance with your interest and your happiness. A priesthood will be no longer necessary in the world ; because, when the change of circumstances proposed shall be effected (and the knowledge now existing will effect it,) each child will be so taught, trained, and placed, that he will be, of necessity, honest, sincere, and in telligent, and will possess unlimited charity and kindness for his fellow-beings ; the practice of which virtues will constitute that pure and genuine religion, which can alone be of any real utility to Gop or man. The profession of law will be no longer necessary ; for, individual riches under the new arrangements, will give place to a superfluity of public wealth, which will by a rational application of manual, mental, and scientific power, be annually produced, to an amount greatly be yond the wants or wishes of all. No one will then be required by law to think, or to say that he thinks, contrary to his conviction ; or to feel, or say that he feels, in opposition to his impressions ; for all will speak only what they are obliged to think and to feel, and they will act accordingly. Under these rational circumstances, law, or the inge nuity of lawyers, will not be required. All differences, it' it be possible for differences to arise in a rational state of society, will be speedily adjusted by the prompt decision of individuals, formed by a rational education, to be honest and intelligent, and who would be duly ap pointed to perform these friendly offices for society. Physicians will be no longer necessary, for everf ebildi will acquire sufficient knowledge of the anatomy and! physiology of the human frame to understand the nature: of his own organization and particular constitution, and! thus be enabled to adopt proper measures for the proven-. tion or speedy cure of any disease ; for, as each Indi vidual must possess a more intimate acquaintance with his own constitution than any physician is likely to ob-, taro, each will regulate his food and exercise as his feel ings may dictate. Good air, proper exercise, temperance is all things, and the absence of corroding anxieties, together with the enjoyment of full liberty to speak what ever they may feel and think, will tend to keep all indi viduals in the best state of health and spirits. Surgeons may be occasionally useful, but accidents or diseases, requiring surgical operations, are not likely to be frequent, when all shall be trained from infancy to be rational ; and when, in order to produce this character, all must necessarily be surrounded, through life, with ra tional circumstances only. Your professions have been generally filled by indivi duals who, under the old irrational notions of society, were supposed to possess by nature superior intellectual powers, when compared with the other members of the family from which they were selected. In the improved society that will arise, when all shall he trained in rational circumstances only, the indivi duals naturally possessing superior intellectual faculties will become members of a new profession, in which their powers will be applied to the most valuable, instead of the •Inost injurious purposes. They will be taught to acquire 'a correct knowledge of the influence of circumstances, in giving a superior or an inferior direction to the human faculties, and will thus become " Professors of the Science of the Formation of Character ;" which science will soon be discovered to be, bey oud all comparison, snore valuable to themselves and their fellow-beings than all other sciences hitherto discovered. The practice of this new profession will become, in a tational state of existence, the most important of all occupations ; and, therefore, the first department in every society. In this new state of existence, when men shall be taught from infancy to understand the laws of their na tares, and the conditions necessary for its happiness, no • motive will arise to render it necessary that men should he united, for the purpose of destroying each others lives, their productions, and all the means of human hap piness. They will discover that all such proceedings, through the past ages of the world, have been the very essence of irrationality. The energies and faculties necessary to conduct war, or in other words, to destroy upon a large scale, and to inflict misery upon nations, will, under the change *hick knowledge will speedily produce, be applied to create real wealth; to preserve and to distribute it; and thus to promote the happiness of the community, to which those valuable powers belong. And the immense waste of human labour, now sustained in the creation and sup port of the naval and military professions, will also, under the change about to commence, be applied to the pre servation and improvement of society, in order to secure to every one the greatest amount of enjoyment, of :lihich his organisation is susceptible; and of the nature and extent of this enjoyment no one yet can form a just estimate. No one portion of society will feel the magnitude and importance of this change in a higher degree than those individuals, who, by their professions, are compelled to murder some of the most noble and generous of thiir fellow beings; bud to render void the labour of others, who, have been occupied in producing • for the public the necessaries, comforts, and luxuries of life. It is not possible, irrational as men have hitherto been forced to become, for a member of the naval or military profession to reflect upon his occupation without feeling dimply conscious of the misery which it Millets upon the %man race. Under the change proposed, those individuals who have hitherto been compelled to be the destroyers of the human race, would become the most active promoters of its happiness. In hastening the proposed change ; a change. under which the world will be governed by knowledge and not by ignorance, priests, lawyers, physicians, and members of the naval and military professions have all an imme diate and deep interest. Permit me, therefore, to request your beet attention to the consideration of the principles on which this change is proposed to be made ; and of the consequences which these principles will produce in practice. ROBERT OWEN. 49, Bedford-square, Feb. 11,19.50. HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY. A very numerous Meeting of the members of this Society was held yesterday in the Council-Room of the Society, in Regent street, for the purpose of taking into condderation the state of the fends of the institution. The greatest Interest was attached to the proceedings owing to certain statements having been put forth re cently relative to the great debts of the Society. There were pre sent at the Meeting Sir 3. &bright, Sir J. Paull. Bart. Pascoe Grenfell, Esq. M.P. Mr. Ellis, M.P. Mr. Gordon, M.P. and many other scientific men.—The Great Room was crowded to excess. Dr. Minimums took the Chair. Mr. Lamar read the requisition ailing the Meeting. Mr. Goanow, M. P. immediately afterwards rose, and apoligised for trespassing on the time of the Meedng. He confessed that his attention was aroused to the affairs of the Society, in consequence of a statement publicly made that the Society was in debt to the extent of £19,000. As that communication should form the basis of his remarks, he would take the liberty of reading it to the Meet ing. (The letter was then read.) He confessed that he was not alone in his alarm—for, having had sundry communications with ether Fellows of the Society, they felt precisely in the same way with himself. He would ask of those panics who ought to be able to inform the Meeting, whether the amount of debts, as stated, were correct, and whether the panics who bad acted as auditors bad signed their reports without Inspecting the accounts? Indeed the Hon. Secretary had al eady admitted that the amount was cor rect. There were other charges which he might bring forward ; for instance, that if the officers at the Garden* were applied to for grafts of pines, they would send those of apples. But be would confine himself entirely to the matter of debt, and move, in terms of his previous notice, for the immediate appointment of a Com mittee to examine the books and accounts, and report thereon to the members. _ _ Mr. Dyes, • Vice-President, seconded the motion, and con gratulated the Society on the businen having fallen into the bands of the Hon. Member who bad just sat down ; the result of the in vestigation could nut be anticipated. If the funds were wasted as represented, he was afraid the breaking up of the Society must fol low. He hoped for a better result. In the prosecution of the in quiry be was certain the Council would conceal nothing. Mr. &sante said that the appointment of a Committee was moat desirable. Hr had often wished to retire from the Council, but had as often been requested to stay in it. Sit J. Seamus did not dispute but t►at the Society was a use ful on. He bad been told by some of the Council that the aeons were suilident to meet the debts. That might be good informa tion for the creditors, but it ought not to satisfy the members of that Society to be told by the Council that they were £19,000 in debt, but had a garde•, &c. as a set-off. It was quite clear too, that the Society, since 1823. bad got into debt instead of getting out of it. It appeared atm, and he was sorry to mthe the obser vation, that no member of the Council, of hie own accord, told the members of the Society the real state of ita pecuniary stairs. --(Hear, hear,) A letter was read from the President, stating that his residence in the country precluded his attendance at the meeting of the Coun cil, and thought that the finance matters did not come within his department. The letter concluded with a hope that the Society would get over all its &Scabies, and attributing them in a peat degree to the large gardens at Chiswick. Mr. P. GIIIIIIIIII.L, Mr. M. STATTLTOS,4Od elle( al other mem bers addressed the Meeting, after which a Committee of 13 was appointed, and the Meeting was adjourned. WELLS OF SALT AND OF FIRE IN CIIINA•—A French Missionary, M. Imbert, has forwarded to Europe a description of certain wells of salt and of fire, at Ou- Tong-Kiao Kiating-fou, and at Ise-Lieoe-Tsing, in China, which rank among the most singular natural phe bomena on record. The wells are perforations about five or six inches in diameter, extending to the depth of as much, in one case, as 3,000 feet, ordinarily from 15 to 1800, in the solid rock ; from which, in the one case, water is drawn by means of a hollow bamboo and the labour of oxen, which yields from one-fifth to one-fourth of its weight of salt ; and, in the other, an inflammable gas is discharged in very large quantities, which serves to boil the pans in which tho salt is prepared, as well as to supply the means of illumination. The method by which these wells or cylinders are made in the reek is by attaching a steel head, weighing about three or four hun dred pounds, by a cord, to a beam, which has a motion on a horizontal axis, when, by depressing the oppqpite end of the beam, and suddenly dismissing it, the steel head, which moves up and down in a stone cylinder, pounds, the rock beneath, and the perforation so made being properly moistened, the pulverized rock, in the shape of nand, lodges above the steel head, and is, when necessary, drawn out and rejected. At least three years are required to make one of these wells, though some times, when the rock is good, the workmen can perforate two feet in 24 hours. MEASUREMENT OP THE LARGEST PATAGONIAN, IN A TRIBE OF ABOUT 150 IN numeza.—Height, 6 feet 2 inches ; circumference of the chest, 3 feet 11 inches ; ditto of the loins, 3 feet 5 inches ; ditto of the pelvis, 3 feet 10 in. The limbs of the men were finely formed, but the muscles were not so strongly marked, and did not exhibit those elevations when thrown into action so much as in stout sailors or other athletic Europeans who have been accustomed to muscular exertion. There was, seem ingly, in the whole of them, of both sexes, a thickish layer of adipose substance, under the common integu ments, covering the whole of the body, which seemed to fill up the hollows of the muscles seen so distinctly in most hard-working persons. The shortest man in their party was five feet ten inches and a half high : the ge• nerality of them appeared to be about six feet, with large bodies. The women, he thought, were larger in propor tion to the men than is observed in civilized moiety. That some changes in Church matters are brewing, we suppose no man who has his senses can doubt. What the nature of the changes may be is still in the bosom of those gentlemen who have so handsomely vindicated to themselves the title of the " Inscrutable, ;" nor are we at all inclined to approach the depths of their mystery. We have no fear that the matter will sleep; nor that, when all is ripe, there will be any great modesty of conceal ment. The Whitehall preachers are gone ; a very pro-1 per performance, for any thing that we can venture to say. The Commission for altering the Ecolesiestical Laws may be moving with the deliberate majesty of church-work ; or sweeping on with the brilliant rapidity of the pas de charge. But of this, too, we say nothing. The order for the return of all the members of all the multifarious sects ,that " rave, recite, and madden through the land," is in full action ; and we shall, of course, have it on the table of Parliament, and aformidable muster-roll it will be I Monthly Magazine. • INCREASE OF POPULATIOW.—II is new somewhat more than half a century since Mr. Coke came into the possession of the estate at Holkharn, in Norfolk. At that time the population of the parish was less than two hundred persons, and rye almost the only kind of grain, that was raised in it. The produce now is wheat saii i tenfold in qiuunity. The farm-yards on the lOadifts• Mr. Coke's own bands (4,000 acres), originally only three, are more than twenty.

S. 11111110•111 TAAIIe-WACIEIFT V. MOM This action was brought by Dr. Mackey, a phylictan , against the defendant, • Spanish Merchant, and Envoy from the Government of Mexico, to recover £1.500, advanced by the authority at the defendant, and paid for his use. It appeared that the defendant was sent by the Government of Mexico, in 1823, for the purpose of negotiating • loan in England. The plaintiff, wise lead been travelling In Mexico, applied to the defendant, and as a friend In troduced him to Mr. Brnaghton. at that time a elett is the Foreign Office. He was also introduced to a gentleman named Hayworth. and some valuable papers, being the credentials fur nished the defendant by his Government. found their way into the bands of Mr. Hayworth as a banter. A treaty for a loan was first entered into with Mr. Ward, the Member of Parliament for Lon don. but it was taken from him and contracted with Mr. Gold amide. It became necessary to get the papers from Mr. Hayworth. who was urged to give them up, but be refused without a com pensation for trouble and expense in attending upon Mr. Ward. The plaintiff and Mr. Broughton, who had some wish to have part of the loan, advanced to Mr. Hayworth £1,500. and obtained the papers. It was said the money was advanced upon the autho rity of the defendant , and the plaintiff now sought to recover it. Mr. Cannata., on the part of the defendant, contended that no authority bad been given to advance the sum claimed. and fa fact that it bad not been paid at an for the interest of the foreigner who defended the action, bat to obtain a large portion of scrip for themselves. The Learned Ginn& read several letters sent to the defendant, end co ,, tended that It was Impossible lapse the face of the correspondence to say the plaintiff bad any valid claim. The Jury, under all the circumstances, found a verdict for the defendant.—The cave occupied several boars. Lord r11311111111.P, being in, did not take his seat this day arm the Bench. Tilt MSG •. 11110:11011. Mt. &mon*at made an application to the Court this morning on the part of a Miss Eliza Hkltsnn, for leave to move by cer tiorari an indictment found at the last Quarter Sessions, held at Manchester against the defendant, charging her with the commis sion of a certain misdemeanour, to wit, ' 4 with having on the loth of June. IBM, married, or caused herself to be married, to one Thomas Buxton, by unlawful means;' and that a warrant bath been issued for her apprehension. The object of the present ap plication was to obtain the permission of the Court to put in bail in this Court, and to remove the indictment by certiorari. It ap peared that a person of the name of Beaton, with two others, was found guilty of abduction at Lancaster Assizes. The present sp• plicant was the wife of the defendant Boston. The latter, how ever, finding that it was the Intention of her friends to a pply to Parliament to dissolve the marriage, bad, together with hie co partners In the offence of abduction, preferred a bill of indictment against her for hiving, contrary to the statute, allowed herself to be married. Upon this a warrant was obtained, and the object of their doing so appeared to be merely with the view to harrass and perplex, and to procure, If possible, her arrest in • distant part of the country, and to prevent her putting in bail as a married woman. The husband being her prosecntoe, she would then be unable to put in bail. The young lady was at present subjected to great in convenience, and was compelled to beep out of the way to avoid being thrown into prison. Mr. Justice BATLEY—Let the young lady put In bail In this Court. and take your rule. NAWDANUS. Mr. %onetime said he bad to mate an application of a moat pressing nature. Mr. Justice BATLIST.—We cannot hear yen now, as the Court is going to sit at Nisi Frio.. Mr. Baooeaw hoped the Court would grant him a link indul gence, as on the event of his motion depended, he might say, the bread of 700 poor people. Mr. Justice Rinse—Well then, go on. Mr. BSODWISCIL then stated his application Was fora Mandamus to be directed to one of the Overseen and Churchwardens of Cambridgeshire, to compel them to sign a Poor's Rate. A Rate had been made and signed by two of the parish oaken but the alter two, without assigning any reason , positively refused to affix their names. The rate could not therefore be legally collected. Mr. Justice BATLIT--Have the Magistrates refused to sign the rate ? Mr. Baonsatcc—They have not refused, my Lord, but they say without the rate is signed by all the parish officers they have no authority. He therefore trusted the Court would grant a pe remptory Mandamus, as on Friday nest more than 700 poor per sons must be relieved, and there were no funds whatever for that Purpose. Mr. Justice BATIAT—Take a Mandamus. Mr. Broderick, abso lute in the first instance—Mandamus granted. At one o'clock Mr. Justice James Palma sat at Nisi Prins. COURT OF COMMON PLRAS, Frs. 3.

In the cause of Bailey Bailey, which was promoted by the husband against the wife for a divorce, by reams of adultery, t►e Court pronounced the wife in contempt, no return baviq been made to a citation mowed upon her in December last. The Court also decreed the cause to be proceeded with, to grant the suit of the husband. _ _ In the cause Murdock v.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE. BOW3MTIT. Yesterday Mr.WakJey, the editor of the medical publication call. " The Lancet," made the following curious appplication to th.• Bitting Magistrates, MOW& HALLS and lidsnanou.: Mr. Wakley stated that hi. Chabert, commonly called the Fire King, bad sent forth an advertisement stating that he intended ou Thursday, the 4th inst. (this day) to swallow a quantity of prussic acid of the strongest kind, by way of answer to the challenges which had been published in " The Lancet" upon that subject. I" Now," said Mr. Wakky, " I intend to be present, and as I have I the strongest doubt of the existence of any real antidote to so deadly a poison, I wish to put M. Chabert's powers to the test in such a way as to prevent the possibility of juggling, which I suspect he practises ; but at the same time I would wish to know from your Worships in what situation I should stand, should the result of the experiment prove fatal to M. Cbabert?" Mr. Hat s—That is a very di2cult question to answer, Mr. Walley, but I should imagine you would be about in the same situation as an apothecary who sold a poisonous drug, by taking which an individual lost his life. Mr. Muumum—lt is as awkward thing, Mr. Wakley, to try experiments in which the life of a fellow-creature may be iu- Mr. Wakely—But, Sir, this Frenchman has declared that he possesses an antidote to the most deaSly poisons, which is in itself of the most simple kind, and boasts that we cannot find it out, thus bringing scandal upon the whole profession. I wish and am determined to put his poison-swallowing powers to a test that shall place them beyond a doubt, and I mean to propose to. morrow that be shall have one hand tied behind him, and that the dose which he consents to take shall be administered by my self or some other competent person. An eminent chemist has prepared some of the acid of so strong a kind, that I will venture to say that a small quantity even, placed under the nose of a rabbit, would produce the instant death of the animal, and I do not at pre sent believe that M. Chabert can swallow any portion of it without its producing fatal effects. Mr. Hance—The mon dangerous the experiment; and wits. respect to the circumstances of M. Chabert's challenge, you, I date say, remember the story of the conjuror, who publicly stated that he would suffer himself to be shot at by any one of his auditory. He presented a pistol, which be pretended to load with ball, to a countryman, and desired him to “ fire away." The countryman, however, by way of ascertaining whether he " woe reedy a conjuror or no," had brought a pistol with him loaded to the muzzle, end by $ little slight of hand of his own be substituted one for the other, and actually shot the poor conjurer dead. The countryman was put upon his trial for the murder, and pleaded the conjuror's shalienge, and that plea was admitted by a numane Jury; but I question whether you could avail yourself of a similar plea, espe cially after the deciaratioa you have mule, that you believe the consequences would be fatal. Mr. Wakley— Well, M. Cbabert has published the chellenge, and if he will t h e the prussic acid, and he shall have it, and from my bands too. Mr. Mastauts. and Mr. Hares said they could give no opinion as to the precise situation in which Mr. WalrJey would be placed in case of a fatal result • all they could do was to advise him to be cautious. Mr. Hatt' added, that be knew very little of such matters, but he was by no means prepared to deny the possibility of such a discovery as that which hi. Chabert professed to have made. He knew from an eminent medical man that a poisoo bad recently been discovered of so subtle a nature that a drop would produce instant death, and yet that poison could be procured in so simple and unexpensive a manner as to be within the reach of the poorest person, if the secret were once made public. •• However," said Mr. HALLS, .. I will not pursue the subject further, es the publication of the particulars of the discovery might du great mischief." Mr. Waitley said be was determined to try the experiment, and deputed, thanking the Worthy Magistrates for their attention. The young man named Webb, who was examined on Saturday night upon a cha►ge of having stolen a hat containing PO sove reigns, and .610 in silver, the property of Mr. Wileot, of Dongiaty. street, Brunswick-square, from a coffee-room in Hand -court, Hol born, was fully committed to take his trial for stealing the hat, the money having been disposed of by the owner.
