STAMPED, 5 rapidly constituting them an aggregate, which it is highly speculative to consider could ever be re duced through the probable return of a fortuitous prosperity. Accommodation is here clearly trace able on both sides—the interest of the debtor being to pacify his creditor by allowing him to draw, and the necessity of the creditor inducing him to avail himself of the debtor's liability. But the censure and the opprobrium it will always create may, save in extreme cases, be expected to check it. It has been said that it is difficult to find in bill transac tions, where accommodation begins and where it ends. In this view, nevertheless, there is by no means general concurrence. The open credit system which is so freely in vogue among our first-class merchants has been cited as a case in point, because the facilities afforded may be abused; but even then it would be accommodation, and justly re prehensible if carried beyond due bounds. What the penalty ought to be for merchants, traders, and others operating on doubtful credit it is difficult to adjust ; but it should surely include more than an ordinary bankruptcy suspension or refusal of certi ficate. Many sound thinking individuals are of opinion that before any positive arrest of the evil can be effected a penal enactment must be intro ' duced which will provide for meeting these especial cases, and that it will be essential to make examples to deter others from taking so objectionable a course. But then it is urged, how will you be able to define what is and what is not accommodation ? The answer is a ready one; if there be the slightest question in the matter make no hesitancy, but allow a jury composed of mercantile men to settle the difficulty: , ..-If 03.6zglip hand the culprits im plicated can be proved 16 haVe misconducted thera-- selveg, then the sentence could not be impugned; and if on the other the allegation were unfounded, an open aquittal would be all the more satisfactory.' Complete confirmation or complete refutation would, in either case, be the most desirable, and the law would not be brought into contempt through any hasty or ill-considered judgments. The whole matter at issue is, nevertheless,. sur rounded by intricacies ; but if sensible anti honest minds' were applied to the task of cleaiing them away, the labour would not be found dis-. couraging, and the result would be extremely be-. neficial. At present we despair of seeing an active movement with the objsctof remedying this crying grievance, for as the Government have not been fortunate in their past legislative career, it is im- - impossible to say what may be their prospects in this respect hereafter. If bankruptcy aslmiilistra-: tion is eventually to ha modified, and modified with the intent of: affording increased protection to the . creditor, clauses might be introduced in the next session of Parliament which would provide for punishing the wanton abuse of confidence,. such as has been lately pourtrayed in more than one branch of business. TEE USE AND ABUSE OF TOJACCO. The following letter has been addressed to a con temporary :—" Sir,—Havingbeen, applied to some time since tojoin in a petition to the House of Coln mons that they would appoint a committee to in quire into the effects produced by the ,prevailing habit of tobacco smyking, I declined to do so ; first; because it did not appear to me that such a committee would be.very • competent to discuss a question of this kind; and, Secondly, because, even if they were so, I did not see that it would be possi ble for Parliament t6' follow up by any act of legis lation the conclusions at which they might have arrived. Nevertheless I am ready to admit that the subject is one of no trifling importance, and well worthy the serious consideration of: any one who takes an interest in the present and future well being of society. From these considerations it is that I now venture to address to you the following observations: The empyreumatic oil of tobacco is produced by distillation of that herb at a temperature above that of boiling water. One or two drops of this oil (ac cording to the size of the animal) placed on the tongue will kill a cat in the course of a few minutes. A certain quantity of the oil must be always circu lating in the blood of an habitual smoker, and we cannot suppoSt that the effects of it on the system can be merely . negative.' Still, I am not prepared to subscribe to the °Oil= of those who hold that, ander all circumstances.: and to however moderate an extent it be practised, the smoking of tobacco is prejudicial. The first effect of it is to soothe and tranquillise the nervous system. It allays the pains of hunger, and relieves the uneasy feelings pro duced by mental and bodily exhaustion. To the soldier who has passed the night in the trenches before a beleaguered town, with only a distant prospect of breakfast when the morning has arrived; to the sailor, contending with the elements in a storm; to the labourer, after a hard day's work; to the traveller in an uncultivated region, with an insufficient supply of food, the use of a cigar or a tobacco pipe may be not only a grateful indulgence, but really beneficial. But the occasional use of it under such circumstances is a very different matter from the habit of constant smoking which prevails in certain classes of society at the present day. The effects of this habit are, indeed, various, the difference depending on difference of constitution, and difference in the mode of life otherwise. But, from the best observations which I have been able to make on the subject, I am led to believe that there are very few who do not suffer harm from it, to a greater or less extent. The earliest symptoms are manifested in the derangement of the nervous system. A large proportion of habitual smokers are rendered lazy and listless, indisposed to bodily and incapable of much mental exertion. Others suffer from depression of the spirits, amounting to hypo chondriasis, which smoking relieves for a time, though it aggravates the evil afterwards. Occasion all.y there is a general nervous excitability, which though very much less in degree, partakes of the nature of the delirium tremens of drunkards. I have known many individuals to suffer from severe nervous pains, sometimes in one, sometimes in another part of the body. Almost the worst case of neuralgia that ever came under my observation was that of a gentleman who consulted the late De. Bright and myself. The pains were universal, and never absent; but during the night they were especially intense, so as almost wholly to prevent sleep. Neither the patient himself nor his medical attendant had any doubts that the disease was to be attributed to his former habit of smoking, on the discontinuance of which he slowly and gra dually recovered. An eminent surgeon, who has a great experience in ophthalmic diseases, believes that, in some instatces, he has been able to trace blindness from amaurosis to excess in tobacco smok ing ; the connection of the two being pretty well established in one case by the fact that, on the practice being left off, the sight of the patient was gradually restored. It would ,be easy for me to refer to other symptoms indicating deficient power of the nervous system to which smokers are liable; but it is unnecessary for me to do so ; and, indeed, there are some which I would rather leave them to imagine for themselves than undertake the descrip tion of them myself in writing. _ _ But the ill effects of tobacco are not confined to the nervous system. In many instances there is a loss of the healthy appetite for food, the imperfect state of the digestion being soon rendered manifest by the loss of flesh and the sallow countenance. It is difficult to say what other diseases may not fol low the imperfect assimilation of food continued during a long period of time. So many causes are in operation in the human body which may tend in a greater or less degree to the production of organic changes in it, that it is only in some instances we can venture to pronounce as to the precise mariner in which a disease that proves mortal has originated. From cases, however, which have fallen under my own observa tion, and from a consideration of all the circum stances, I cannot entertain a doubt that, if we could obtain accurate statistics on the subject, we should find that the value of life in inveterate smokers is considerably below the average. Nor is this opinion in any degree contradicted by the fact that there are individuals who in spite of the inhalation of tobacco smoke live to be old, and without any material derangement of the health ; analogous exceptions to the general rule being met with in the case of those who have indulged too freely in the use of spirituous and fermented liquors. In the early part of the present century tobacco smoking was almost wholly confined to what are commonly called the lower grades of society. It was only every now and then that any one who wished to be considered as a gentleman was addicted to it. But since the NN ar on the Spanish Peninsula, and the consequent substitution of the cigar for the tobacco pipe, the case has been entirely altered. The greatest smokers at the present time are to be found, not among those who live by their bodily labour, but among those who are more advantage ously situated, who have better opportunities of education, and of whom we have a right to expect that they should constitute the most intelligent and thoughtful members of the community. Nor is the practice confined to grown-up men. Boys, even at the best schools, get the habit of smoking, because they think it manly and fashionable to do so; not unfrequently because they have the example set NEWSPAPpt Nr , them by their tutorsand partly becatlie ` "% • friendly voice to warn them as to the specie jg c sequences to which it may give rise where t 44pr0.-L ` S • cess of growth is not yet completed, and the organ 3 are not yet fully developed. The foregoing observations relate to the habit of smoking as it exists among us at the present tim e. But a still graver question remains to be confider( d. What will be the result if this habit be continu ed by future generations ? It is bnt too true that t 12.0 sins of the fathers are visited upon their children. and their children's children. We may here tal:e warning from the fate of the Red Indians of Am rica. An intelligent American physician gives the following explanation of the gradual extinction of this remarkable people :—One generation of them became addicted to the use of the firewater. They have a degenerate and comparatively imbecile pro geny, who indulge in the same vicious habit with their parents. Their progeny is still more degene rate, and after a very few generations the race ceases altogether. We may also take warning from the history of another nation, who some few cen turies ago, while following the banners of Solyman. the Magnificent, 'were the terror of Christendom, but who since then, having become more addicted to tobacco smoking than any of the European nations, are now the lazy and lethargic Turks, held in con tempt by all civilised communities. In thus placing together the consequences of in- • temperance in the use of alcohol and that in the use of tobacco, I should be sorry to be misunderstood as regarding these two kinds of intemperance to be in an equal degree pernicious and degrading. The inveterate tobacco-smoker may Ile stupid and , lazy, and the habit to which he is addicted may gradually tend to shorten his life and deteriorate his offspring, but the dram-drinker is quarrelsome, mischievous, and often criminal. It is under the influence of gin that the burglar and the murderer become fitted for the task which they have under taken. The best thing that can be said for dram drinking, is, that it induces disease, which carries the poor wretch prematurely to the grave, and rids the world of the nuisance.

In one:, part of the Highlands-he observed a man with a. - horse and cart approaching, but 014 at a considor.7 able distance. 4s4hg-pettlies,_ Drew'A re'', "the . horse and cart mine toitli - sfaildstitt, IRA the driver was seen intently watching the progress of ,the carriage as it : came puffing onwards on .finc level.. piece of road: When his lordship was within about -a-hundred yards of him, he appeared in the-p,reatest, trepidation. He looked here and there, and every where, in a state of complete bewilderment, and at last bolted, leaping a fence, and running a consider able way over an open space of ground, till he came to a few bushes of underwood, where he ensconced himself. The horse appealed to possess more saga city than his master—looked on matters with a philosophic eye, and stood unmoved on the middle of the road, scrutinising the party and the machine as they passed, with the inquisitiveness of a con noisseur. Some time elapsed before the man was seen to leave his retreat, and when he did appear he seemed to move with caution, and to have strange misgivings as to the singular object which he had. seen. On arriving at a certain country inn, his. lordship was surprised to find so great a stillness about the place that not a creature was to be seen anywhere, and every door was shut. His lordship left the carriage, and knocked at the door of the inn, but he knocked long and loud before any one answered. At last an elderly female, evidently put forward as the mouthpiece of the party within, put her head out of a window, and asked very pertly what he wanted. His lordship told her that he wished to remain there over the night. The beldam replied with a jeer of the most tatatalising kind, " Na, na, we'll hae nothing to do wi' playactor fouk ; we've had enough o' trouble wi' characters o' your kind already," and shutting the window with a triumphant air, and with some force, she. disappeared. His lordship stood for some time endeavouring to convince the inmates that he was in no way connected with playactors, but whether he was heard or not, the same stillness prevailed. His lordship, seeing that further argu ment was useless, stepped over a few fields to the house of a neighbouring farmer, with whom he was acquainted, and stated to him the nature of the mistake. The farmer soon returned with the earl, and was not long in convincing both mine host and. mine hostess of their error. Of course a thousand apologies were made to the earl and his countess for the uncivil way they had been treated, and as many maledictions hurled at the head of the ostler, who, on the first appearance of his lordship's car riage coming steaming onwards in the distance, had alarmed the whole establishment by calling out " Play-actors !

IRREGULAR DISCOUN TRANS ACTIONS. (From the Bankers' _Magazine for September.) No greater evil can exist in the course of busi ness operations than the loss of confidence between the money broker and his customer. From the highest in the mercantile ranks to the lowest in the retail department the effect is precisely similar, prejudicing, as it does, connexions, and eventually entailing disgrace and ruin. The link is, neces sarily, so close, and the tie of such a delicate nature, that the least suspicion or alarm is sufficient to de stroy faith, and this accomplished, the result even to the strongest, must be most disastrous. It had been hoped that the exposure of late frauds and irregular dealings had, at least for the present, so cleared the path of the mercantile community from this system of trading, that whatever disaster en sued would in the main arise from misdirected adventure, and not from bill operations on an unsound basis, or from an accumulation of bad debts represented by paper. A merchant, or general trader, who has taken probably too sanguine a view of the future, or whose operations may suddenly be brought to a crisis through changing markets or political events, is not to be unmercifully dealt with because he is compelled to suspend, unless it should happen to turn out that he has proceeded in violation of all known prin ciples and pursued a reckless career. But the case is very different, and the punishment should be the greater when it appears that a long course of trading has been followed at a loss, and that when - • • • -ANL'by steP,Antßusl 9f-warren, w . . ero ts ror the benefit, onieditofi a system is-adopted by individuals of making avail able the credit obtained, by putting afloat in every conceivable channel manufactured paper and bills based upon debts, the very existence and increase of which proved . the hollowness of the trading carried forward. The free negotiation of paper in the discount market, and the facilities afforded to every branch of business supposed to be conducted on-legitimate principles, has opened, to a certain extent, the door to the almost illimitable circulation of this'species of security ; and the eagerness with which favourite description of bills are sought for have - freqiently, before now, produced large loss to those who make them .their chief market. Great, however, as is the competition that prevails, it is desirable -that increased caution should be used, since not only Metropolitan bankers and brokers may be deceived, but country bankers also, as their opportunities for inquiry are much less available than -those of their London • friends. It will 'be noticed in most of the recent cases, that, although the London banks and discount houses have suffered seierely, provincial establishments have not, alto gether escaped ; and it must be admitted that if the system had not fortunately broke down when it did, these latter institutions would have become much more extensively involved. The bills, as a class (though pretending to re present bona fide transactions), have ab initio been little better than waste paper, particularly those representing debts; as the position of the one firm was already sacrificed and could only be propped up so long as the other was supposed to be wealthy, and the public relie,d upon, the presumed inex haustible resources of - the partners. To take the most humane view of things, the principal indi viduals in these transactions must have possessed a purblind estimate of their own situation, or they never could have perievered in their career. The maze of figures in which they were involved may, combined with a sanguine temperament, have led them to believe that a few years' of strug gling would either partially restore' affairs er set them free'; but cool • examination and patient analysis could only have been necessary to have shown them the inevitable con Sequences of the mass of current liabilities by which they were unhappily , surrounded. The intermixture of,coun try with Metropolitan 'engagements, the growing total df the respective accounts, and the difficulty of proceedieg from-day to day without the issue of additional paper, must have, ,if,.not permanently, occasionally' treated a strong impression of the utter impossibilityof eventually surmounting the difficulty. - This was an aspect that did not at first resent itself except t 6 these who' privatc,ly JnyesiAg•ated several of the estates, but it has become Confirmed since through the extraordinary revelations which have been made at various meetings ; and the prin cipal wonder now is, that the foundation of the credit having been comparatively slight, it could for so long a period have borne with seeming ease such an overwhelming mass of engage ments. In the course of the proceedings which have taken place, a point has elicited notice, ex hibiting the thoroughly reckless conduct of the majority of the subordinate firms engaged in the operations. In justice to the great parent house mixed up in these questionable dealings it must be stated that the books and accounts were most systematically kept; so correctly, indeed, that but a few days were required to submit a balance sheet to creditors, including liabilities exceeding £1,000,000 sterling, and every kind of banking and discount account. Not so, however, with the majority of the other firms. In these instances, correct or approximate book-keeping has been the exception and not the rule ; stocks have hardly or ever been properly taken, and it has almost been an axiom with the debtors not to rely on themselves or their own resources, but to look for deliverance through their leviathan supporters. This imbe cility will, no doubt, be remembered whenc-ver they enter into trading pursuits again, for though par donable to some extent, the complete abandonment of these ordinary safeguards to commercial rectitude will not obtain the acquiescence of a commissioner in bankruptcy or of a body of inspectors. No circum stance can be more damaging than this to the credit of a trader who ever desires to recover his star us, the national inference being that he, in the first instance, was fully alive to his position, or that he was wholly incapable of managing his affairs. A more healthy regulation can never be enforced than that of sound accounts accompanied by periodical investigation. The most serious feature that has been manifested throughout the inquiry connected with these in debted firms—and one has proved merely the reflex of the other—is the magnitude of the accommoda tion transactions. If in the larger estates the line can be drawn, it is only so far as the issue of paper on old debts is concerned, and renewals have been as frequent as any other mode of draw ing, while accommodation paper in its broadest sense has been found to exist. In the smaller estates the excess of the system has been. deplorably developed. Not only accommodation bills have been circulated, but exchanges of paper for the ex press object of baffling inquiry have been resorted to, and with an ingenuity that has eluded the lynx eyed—the second and third class discounters, so artfully have the arrangements been perfected. The recoil of the blow upon the infatuated dupes who lent themselves to the system is, however, now the stronger, for the opposition of the law, in its most vigorous form, is arrayed against them, and they will have to suffer the con-e -quences, which cannot be other than Basinghall street and low class certificates, with suspensions running for more than an ordinary period. One consideration, however, is presented through the frightful amount of bill dealing, which these embarrassments have brought to light, viz., what is really accommodation and what is not. Advo cates are, of course, as usual to be found, pro and con, the opinions of each being entitled to weight; though in the midst of the nice dis tinctions which are endeavoured to be drawn, every disposition is carefully shown to reprobate any irregularity. It was once remarked by an eminent financial authority, when a querulous creditor com plained of a debtor having given accommodation ac ceptances, that the whole system of trade was based upon accommodation, although not the kind of accommodation alluded to. But, notwithstanding this distinguished personage scarcely intended that his sarcasm should cat so deeply by the application of the illustration, it was not far removed from the truth. Accommodation paper in its worst form is undoubtedly that in which the trader has recourse to the use of the names of men of straw, who have simulated addresses and imaginary occupations ; and when circumstances such as these are discovered, no pains should be spared to inflict the largest pro portion of punishment that the law will allow. The next step in the accommodation system—and here intrude very many of the transactions of which such just complaint is made—is where bona fide business has been completed, forming the original basis of paper negotiation, which, eventually increasing, terminates in over-drawing without an adequate value in goods. This is, to say the least of it, dis creditable, and deserves severe condemnation ; but it is sometimes accompanied by mitigating accessories. The practice of ' renewals, with part payment in cash, is recognised, the object being to allow the debtor to diminish his liability by gradual stages ; but it is not permitted that these renewals shall go on indefinitely extending, becoming at last a mere mass of accommodation bills. Much less, how ever, should old debts have been drawn against, espeoially when discount and other charges were • Half a mile. Mr. E. Brayley's Codicil, 3 yrs, Est 41b.. (A.

On Monday morning her Majesty's ship Emerald sailed from Spithead for Alderney with two batteries of Royal Artillery on board, under the command of Colonel Dixon, V.C., and arrived at Alderney the same evening, taking up moorings inside the breakwater there at 7 p.m. The troops were at once disembarked, and on the following morning two batteries of the 15th brigade embarked for con veyance to Spithead, under the command of Major Lennox. The frigate slipped from her mooring buoy at eight a.m., the stern hawser was hove on, and the jib hoisted to cant the ship. She began to pay off, when, to the surprise of all hands, it was was found she had taken the ground. The pilot on board declared that no rock was in the way, and that her screw must have fouled the moorings. It was, however, soon discovered that the finest 50-gun frigate in her Majesty's service was hard and fast on a rock, right underneath her funnel. The engines were turned astern at full speed, the foremost guns run aft, all boats hoisted out, and every possible means taken to free the ship, but without effect. Topgallant masts and yards were next struck. A hawser was laid out from the star board quarter to a buoy astern, and one to the half tide rock, and both hove taut, while another was I made fast from the mainm as t h ead to a b uoy on the beam, to prevent the ship from falling over on her beam ends. Every precaution that good sea manship could suggest was, in fact, taken for the ship's safety. The tide fell rapidly, and she soon heeled over 44-- degrees. The tide turned about 11 a.m., and at 3 p.m. the ship was off, and, with the engines turning ahead slowly, o n account o f t h e injury some of the parts had received, she was got outside the breakwater, when sail was made, and the ship's course laid for Spithead, where she an chored this morning and disembarked her troops. Independent of other iiipenses, upwards of £2,000 per week is being expended in wages alone in the construction of this harbour, in which a frigate of modern construction has scarcely room to turn, and whieh is apparently full of unknown and hidden dangers ; and yet this is the wonderful work which is supposed to shelter a fleet to keep watch upon Cherbourg. Tho Emerald has but just returned from a cruise through the West Indies, where she safely found her way among the coral reefs of Bermuda, and into other harbours where there was intricate navigation, and w ent under sail at midnight to her anchorage at Colon, and all without the slightest mishap or fear of one. Yet here, in an English port, and in charge of an Eng lish pilot, she is jammed on a rock the existence of which in the harbour is unknown, and the ship is not only injured, but for the time her very exist ence was imperilled. THE MAIN DRAINAGE OF THE METROPOLIS. — There has been great progress made in the construction of the main drainage sewer during the last few weeks in the neighbourhood of Hackney, Bow, and Bothnal-green, and which is being formed for the purpose of taking off the sewerage from the upper districts of the metropolis, in cluding Hackney, Islington, Stoke Newington, and other portions of the northern suburbs. The Metropolitan Board are now about to enter into contracts for the exten sion of the main drainage sewer to Barking, which will be the extreme distance from the metropolis. The contract will embrace a brick sewer of about five miles in length, with an embankment, which will, of course, be made out of the earth excavated for the formation of the'sewer. There will be also several iron bridges built over the line of the sewer. The works will commence at the river Lea at Old Ford, cross the Stratford-road, pass through West Ham, Stratford, and East Ham, and terminate at Barking-creek.
