" How we should live—what eat, what'drink, what shun, To reach inhealth full' threescore years and ten." These interesting little volumes, although bearing upon subjects of very delicate import, as their titles imply, will be found of immea surable and general utility, for they tell of matters.everyliving crea ture able to understand ought to know, but which information in these enlightened times, except that quality promulgated through questionable channels, is at a very terrible discount. In the expositionhereby offered of the till now hidden truths of nature, of human disappointments and their ways of relief, it is not contended that every reader shall become his or her own physician any more than their own lawyer, but it is insisted upon that we should know the simple principles of our own organization, the laws whereby our existence and the issue thereof in their several healthy states depend, the duties that are expected of us in our individual capacities in the family circle, and the terms on which the health and happiness of the present and future race of mankind hare to rely. By such knowledge, and which is herein faithfully imparted, health will be found to be in our own keeping, and happiness within the attainment of all; by the availment hereof in fulfilling our duty to ourselves, we secure the illy e advantages on our offspring to follow, and finally by the cultivation ,f our faculties, which is in consistent with degenerate health, the mind as well as the body may be exalted to the summit of perfection, as best becomes the highest of God's creations.

NOTICES Os ' THE PRESS. From the Mark-lane Express.—" The work now before us will be appreciated by the professional man who is aware of the importance of distinguishing between ` irritative' and ` inflammatory' action in determining the course of treatment of disease. The author is of opinion that the symptoms of the former are frequently mistaken for the latter, sometimes even by experienced practitioners. Mr. Franks does not content himself with asserting the fact, but pro ceeds to show, by argument and demonstration, which appears to us conclusive, that the position he assumes is correct. • Having carefully perused Mr. TrUnks's book, we can state with confidence, that it 9nght to be read by every man, Inasmuch as the information it con tains may not only afford relief to the mind upon the appearance of symptoms which are hot really indicative of the disease supposed, but may be the means of guarding the patient against the practices of the unskilful and the empiric." From Bell's Life in London.—" We recommend this little treatise to those who, suffering under deserved penalties, wish to pay them off as speedily and s•ifely as possible, without having recourse to the ruinous banks founded by manslaughtering quacks." From the London Mercantile Journal.—" Mr. Franks is evidently an original thinker, and follows not the path of his predecessors in treating the subject upon which he, has written. There is a vast amount of truth in his book. It is ignorance which often causes un happiness in the married state, and such a work as this may be the means of displacing many of those serious heart-burnings and jea lousies which sever the peace of families."

ANECDOTES OF BARRINGTON, THE •FAMOUS PICK POCKET.—At one of the music meetings in St. Mar tin's Church, for the benefit of the Leicester Infirmary, I noticed a tall, handsome than, in a scarlet coat, with a gold button-hole in a black collar, the fashion of the day, moving with a gentleman-like air. This person proved to be the notorious Barrington, the pickpocket. In going up the middle ai s l e h e was invited into the Mayor's pew, and sat between Miss St. John and Mr. Ashby, of Qaeenby, our late Member of Parliament. One of the plates was held at the door by this lady and gentleman, and when Mr. Barrington laid his guinea upon the plate he was kindly thanked by his new acquaintance, and passed on with a graceful bow. The gentry who held the plates retired into the vestry to add their contri butions, and when Mr. Ashby would have placed his ten guineas on the plate, to his utter astonishment they had flown from his pocket. After considerable amazement, the mystery was explained by one of the company re marking that Miss St. John's pocket was turned inside out, and that the gentleman who sat between them had helped himself to the subscription he had put on the plate, and something besides. It is said that Bar rington facilitated his operations by instruments which he had made for thg purpose. I recollect a circumstance of this kind. He waited on a surgical instrument maker and ordered a pair of scissors of a curious form; A few days afterwards he called for them, liked them, and paid two guineas which the maker charged. After he had left the shop, the cutler's wife said, "My dear, as the gentleman seemed so muc h pleased with the scissors, I wish we had asked him what use they were for. He might recommend us. Do run after him." The cutler scampered out of the shop, and overtaking the gentle man, hoped he would excuse him, but would he tell him, what use he intended to make of the scissors? " Why my friend," said Barrington, catching him by the button of his cost, and staring him in the face, " I don't know whether I can tell you; it's a great secret." " Ob, pray do, Sir ; it may be something in our way." Upon which Barrington, pressing hard upon his shoulder, whispered in his ear, "They are for picking of pockets." In - the utmost consternation the scissors make'r ran back, and the moment he got into the shop, "My dear," he cried, will you believe it, they are for picking of pockets." " Yes, my dear," cried the wife, " what is the matter with your clothes?" The cutler looked, and presently discovered that the scissors had extracted the two guineas he had just received for them. — Gardiner's Music and Friends. THE NATIONAL GALLERY As IT OUGHT TO BE. — For many years I have been struck with the fine vista obtained by looking from the rooms of the national col. lection across the central space, when the Royal Academy Exhibition has been open ; the effect of the groupes of persons, the rich colouring of the pictures, as seen through only four columns, suggested to my mind how very fine that effect might be made by throwing the whole of the rooms into one unbroken series. The ad vantage of removing the partitions of the small rooms is a way ye annual at once seen by a reference to the spot, and if it should be thought advisable to have some of the rooms larger l o a f rg th e e r than any at present (which is a doubtf u l experiment), partythat object wall s. can T b he be accommodation for ex hibition may be thus reckoned:--too picture rooms, each about 55 feet by 44 feet ; four rooms about 48 feet by 35 feet ; and two rooms 48 feet by 30 feet ; besides the two small octagonal rooms, and the central hall' 100 feet long and 48 feet wide ; affording a more ample space than hitherto allotted for the display of the three sister arts, one of which, architecture, has been always confined within scanty limits. — The Builder.

" Their Lordships further desire that every facility may be Oven to the men to deposit their hammocks, clothes, &c., in the dockyards during their stay on shore, in the manner prescribed by their Memorandum, dated April 13, 1842, the object of which their Lordships desire may be „fully impressed upon the men, and the regulation strictly attended to. " By command of their Lordships, " H. G. WARD. ",To all Flag-officers, Commanders-in- Chief, Captains, and Commanders of her Majesty's ships and vessels." SHEERNESS, SEPT. B.—The Bulldog, Commander G. E. Davis, arrived from Chatham yesterday morning, and immediately proceeded to Greenhithe to have her com passes adjusted, after which she goes to Portsmouth to be paid advance wages before proceeding on foreign service. The Formidable, 84, late the flagship in the Mediter ranean, was towed down from the moorings at Stand gate-creek yesterday, to be refitted for commission. The Raven cutter, Lieutenant J. Stephen, has gone to Chathatn to await the paying off of the North Star (which is to take place to.day), when she will convey the marines to their division at Portsmouth. The Horatio, 44, has had a number of hands put on her again, to complete her fittings as a steam guard ship. The Blenheim, 74, fitting as such at Wigram's, of Blackwall, under the superintendence of officers of the dockyard, will be ready for her machinery in a fortnight. The Dragon steam-frigate is under the shears to ship her paddle-box boats. She has been reported ready for the pendant. Commander Gould took up his commission as Com mander of the ordinary on Saturday. Captain Sir Thomas Bourchier, 1i.C:8., will supersede Captain Shirreff in the superintendentship of Chatham Dockyard on the 27th inst. Captain Francis E. Loch, the superintendent of the quarrantine station at Standgate-creek, has been re appointed to that command for another term of five years. PORTSMOUTH, SEPT. B.—The Hound, 6, Commander Wood, sailed this afternoon for the coast of Africa, calling at Plymouth. The Scourge steam bomb-vessel, Commander Caffin, hauled alongside ,the dockyard to-day to embark de tachments of the 74th Highlanders for Aberdeen. The Orestes, 18, Commandor Cannon, was paid off into ordinary this morning. The Aid navy lighter, Smallman master, arrived last night front Chatham with stores. The America, 50, is rapidly refitting at Devonport, and will be again ready for sea in a few days. The Carysfort, 26, Captain Seymour, sailed from Simon's Bay, Cape of Good. Hope, on the 16th of June, for Sydney, New South Wales. The Thunderbolt steam-sloop, Commander Boyle, ar rived at Simon's Bay from Table Bay on the 17th of June. The United States frigate Constitution, about whose armament and weight of metal such feverish anxiety was manifested by one or two members of the late court-martial upon Captain the Hon. J. Gordon, of the America, left Mazatlan prior to the 28th of June for one of her home ports, her timbers being so rotten as to preclude her from making any further display with safety. The Lords of the Admiralty are contemplating an alteration in the naval uniform, having during their re cent official visits to this and other ports experienced ex treme difficulty in discovering the real rank of officers from their uniforms, the juniors especially, owing to the extraordinary profusion with which the late board epau letted the service. The Inflexible steam sloop, Commander lloseason, arrived at Madeira on the 16th ult., from Plymouth, en route to the Cape of Good Hope. She put in merely to land letters. A letter from her says—" We have had a beautiful trip, the weather having been fine and the passengers cheerful and in good order. We have steamed all the way, in consequence of light winds, and I think we stand a very fair chance of reaching the Cape with some coals to spare in our bunkers. I like my ship very much: our accommodation is superb." After landing her letters the Inflexible proceeded on her course for the Cape direct. DELIGHTFUL CONSEQUENCES OF THE GAME-LAWS. —On Sunday morning last, between four and five o'clock, as the under-keeper, named Cook, in the employ of Mr. A. Fontaine, of Narford, was crossing a turnip field near the Scoots, he saw a dog taking a hare, and presently a man started up with a view to seize it, but seeing the keeper he made off. The latter pursued the dog, which travelled rather slowly from the weight of the hare, and at length he secured him. This brought the poacher up, who demanded to have his animal re leased, but this the keeper refused. The result was a scuffle, and at length they drew their knives, and with these weapons they fought dreadfully for half an hour. At length the weapon of Cook entered the side of Mason (that being the poacher's name), and he fell. The keeper then wrenched from him the knife, and threw them both away, keeping his man, however, pinned to the ground, and calling lustily for assistance. Mr. Spanton, sen., happened to be up, and hastened to the spot from which the cries came. They all proceeded towards the house of the latter, but they had not gone far, when Mason complained that he could walk no further, as his bowels were pro truding. They undid his clothes, and this was found to be actually the case. Mr. Spanton then procured a horse and cart, and sent them both on to Swabham under a proper escort, both men being so dreadfully wounded that it was not thought they could survive many hours. Cook's face was literally hacked to pieces, so much had the poacher the 'vantage ground of him in the onset of the affray. The last information we received was, that both men are still alive, and that Mason has been re manded.—Lynn Advertiser. In the morning of the 31st ult., while the work men at the Hamburgh Theatre were hoisting to its place a splendid bronze chandelier for gas lights, just brought from London, and weighing above 10,8001b5., the rope broke, and the enormous mass, falling to the ground, was broken to pieces, crushing two Englishmen who had come over to superintend its being suspended. Mr. Sheriff Laurie a few days since had the honour to receive an invitation to dine with his Majesty the King of the French, at his palace at Neuilly. The worthy Sheriff accepted the royal invite, and we understand was most worthily entertained by King Louis Philippe.

FATAL ACCIDENT ON THE NOT TINGHAM AND LINCOLN RAILWAY. On Monday last a fat - El accident occurred on the Not tingham and Lincoln Railway, at Gonalstone, a distance of eight or nine miles from Nottingham. At twelve o'clock the train left the station at Nottingham for Lin coln, and proceeded as usual till reaching that portion of the line near the village of Gonalstone, when a spring underneath the fore part of the engine snapped, and caused the engine to oscillate and jump up and down in a fearful manner. The engine driver In a moment of time shut off the steam, and at the next instant he was precipitated head foremost off the engine upon the ground. The stoker, a young man of the name cf Henry Glover, unable to keep his feet, fell and was caught between the tender and the engine, upon the tipper part of both his thighs. Here he was fixed, and could not extricate himself, the engine and tender at the same time being whirled off the rads and as it were actually doubled up ; but owing to th e chain attaching them to the engine suddenly breaking, and there being two or three trucks and a luggage van between the en gine and the passenger carriages, the mischief did not extend to the passengers and the train came to a stand without any other individual sustaining damage. The alarm was almost unprecedented ; the shrieks and cries of the passengers rent the air, and were heard many hun dred yards distant ; diirectly afterwards numbers were seen running in all directions across the fields for safety, and they could not be induced to go near the train again. The poor unfortu nate stoker could not be removed from his awful' situation by human strength, and horses were obtained from Gonalstone to separate the engine and tender to set him at liberty. He remained in this de plorable conditimi for more than a quarter of an hour some of the passengers think half an hour must have elapsed from the first moment of the accident to the time when he was removed. Many of the passengers re turned to Nottingham on foot, and would not venture again in the train. The stoker was conveyed to the General Hospital, with his thigh bones protruding, and with the flesh dreadfully crushed. On leaving his engine -driver, the dying man shook hands and bade him farewell. On arriving at the infirmary, at half-past two o'clock, it was found that the injury was so close to his body that amputation was impossible. He only sur vived a few hours. He was twenty-six years of age, and has left a wife, but no family. The fatal accident which occurred on this railway has brought to light circumstances clearly showing that there is a very culpable degree of negligence in the management of this line, which ought to be forthwith inquired into. At seven o'clock on Tuesday morning a train left Nottingham for Lincoln, and on approaching the Burton Joyce Station, a passenger happened to look out of a carriage window, and seeing a smoke before, rising as if from something upon the line, he cried out and gave an alarm to the engine man, who instantly shut off the steam and put on _the break ; had he not succeeded at that very moment in stopping the engine, the train would have gone smash upon an engine that had been carelessly left upon the line. It is said the man who acted in this reckless manner has been re ported, and an inquiry will take place. Passengers, however, do not feel safe, as more than one instance has occurred where the gates across the line have not been opened in time, and the engine dashing through has smashed them to pieces. We have heard repeated com plaints that it is very seldom the requisite signals are given upon leaving a station after stopping for a time. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. RADCLIFFE RACES.-MONDAY.

Oaks-2,000 to 1,000 on Slander agst MURDER BY A POACHER The neighbourhood of Newton Abbot (a town about sixteen miles from Exeter, on the Plymouth road) was on Saturday night the scene of one of those fatal con flicts which have too often resulted from armed men being detected in an illegal act. We hope these la mentable conseque t nce will arouse in Devonshire a cru sade against the cause of such sad effects—protection to vermin—and may those traces, which game-laws have entailed upon the nation, be henceforth expunged and obliterated by wiser and mote enlightened legislation. On the night of Saturday last, Festus Harris, the gamekeeper, and James Norman, the gardener, of Sir W. P. Carew, of Haccombe House (the High Sheriff), were on the watch, and ascertaining that poachers were on the grounds, they called to their assistance six other persons, amongst whom were Mr. Robert Rendell, of Netherton, and William Setter, of Coombinteignhead. These parties met in a field called Blendfield, between eleven and twelve at,night, and surrounded the place where the poachers were. Mr. Rendell and Setter went to the gate of Kiln-field, and:whilst there heard the rest call out "gate"—a signal previously arranged. Theyperceived some one running towards them, with a gun in his hand, and on approaching within a few paces, discovered it was one Henry Warren. They ran into the field, and Warren raised his gun as if to fire. Mr. Rendell called out, "You'd better not fire;" but immediately Warren fired at Setter, and without taking the gun from his shoulder discharged the other barrel at Mr. Rendell. The shot passed by the side of Mr. Rendell's head, but the aim at Setter was more deadly; he received the whole contents in his body, causing a wound two inches in length, from which the bowels protruded, and from the effects of which the unfortunate man 'livered until a quarter past two on Sunday afternoon, when he ex pired, at the house of Mr. Elias Rendell, Buckland, w'aere he had been taken immediately after the occur rence. On a post mortem examination a number of small size shot were found, lacerating most frightfully the liver, and injuring the bone. The surgeon also found a piece of deceased's watch chain, which had been carried into the wound. The prisoner was, after a scuffle, secured by Mr. Rendell, and the next day taken before 11. Cart wright, Esq., who, having taken the depositions of the various witnesses, and of the dying man, committed the prisoner to take his trial at the next assizes for wilful murder, and also for shooting at Mr. Rendell. He said to Mr. Mende ll, when in custody, he was very sorry he had done it, and he wished his gun had broken in pieces when first he took it in his hand. The prisoner's mate, who was out with him, has been also committed to gaol, on the charge of poaching. There was some fear of a rescue by the navvies, but Mr. Flamank, the magistrate's clerk, very wiselykept the men at Newton until Monday morning, when they were sent off to Exeter, and there safely lodged in the county gaol. THE DANGEROUS STATE OF TOWER-STREET.— Yesterday a deputation from the inhabitants of Tower street and its vicinity, consisting of Mr. Howell, Mr. Barber, Mr. Finnes, and other influential and respectable residents, waited upon the Lord Mayor for the purpose of representing to his Lordship that great danger to life and limb arose from the narrow state of Tower -street, which had been almost wholly impassable to passengers in consequence of the vast increase of commerce. The object of the deputation was to induce the Lord Mayor, as one of the Commissioners of Metropolitan Improve ments, so to communicate the exact condition of that croweed thoroughfare to his brother Commissioners as would lead to as speedy a correction of the evil as pos sible. The Lord Mayor, who received his fellow citizens with his usual affability, stated that a deputation had been received by the Commissioners, and given evidence before them as to the most advisable means of remedying the evil complained of. He advised the deputation to convene a public meeting of the inhabitants, and 'determine whether the line re commended before the Commissioners should be that adopted in the application to Parliament ; and he said he was satisfied that the Commissioners would render all the assistance in their power to procure an improvement which would add so many facilities of trade to that part of the city of London. The improvements suggested consisted of a new street from Trinity-street, passing through Seething-lane, Mark-lane, and Mincing-lane, and coming out near St. Margaret's Church by Rood lane ; and it was also contemplated to make a thorough. fare at the Postern-road, which would be a vast accom modation to all the eastern parts of the metropolis, and particularly to the enormous traffic of the docks. His Lordship said that if the inhabitants assembled and de termined upon a plan, means would be at once adopted to prepare a Bill for introduction into Parliament. The deputation intimated that the meeting should be called, and the suggestions of his Lordship should meet with immediate attention. NELSON'S COLUMN.—Yesterday the workmen re sumed the completion of this column. The works have been suspended during the last month in consequence of the difficulty experienced in procuring blocks of stone of the required size and quality. The eldest son of Mr. Sackville L.' Fox, M.P., and grandson of the late Duke of Leeds, is about tt) join the MUM--- • -- AQUATICS. MATCH BETWEEN W. FORREST AND E. GILLETT FOR 201. ASIDE.—Oa Tuesday this match came off ac cording to arrangement, the distance being from the Halfway House between Woolwich and Greenhithe, to the Dreadnought, opposite Greenwich Hospital. Both men rowed in outriggers, Messrs. Cownden and Went zell being the builders. Neither of the men had ap peared much in public, Gillett having two years since rowed second for the coat and badge, whilst his oppo nent, who is a few years older, had appeared for the last two or three years at the Thames Regatta, and in 1840 won the boat given by tl:e inhabitants of Greenwich. The distance to be contested was about nine miles, and the betting was 5 to 4 on Gillett. At three minutes past one the start was effected in a most beautiful manner, the men being scull and scull for Aome few seconds, %hen Forrest gradually drew ahead. Gillett shortly after starting unfortunately unshipped his left hand scull, giving his opponent a further advantage. Having reshipped his scull, he again lay down to his work, but had scarcely taken fifty strokes before the same accident occurred, the boat in which he rowed turning completely over, thus throwing away all chance, though at the period of the accident he was evidently gain ing upon his opponent. He was instantly picked up.by his galley. Gillett's cousin then got into the boat, when, after having rowed about two miles, he also got a ducking, and narrowly escaped with his life. The winner took it easily, occasionally refreshing himself with a " drap," doing the distance in about an hour. CRICKET. ELEVEN OF ALL ENGLAND V. EIGHTEEN OF MAN CHESTER —The match was renewed on Friday at Man chester. and during the day there were not fewer than about 9,000 persons present. The weather was again fine, and the play on the part of England of the highest order. All England . won in one innings by 31 runs ; the total score being—All England, 228 ; and Man chester, 125 and 72, or 197 in both innings. DEATH CAUSED ET A BULL.—Yesterday, a young man named William Ellis expired in St. George's Hospital, in consequence of injuries received under the following circumstances :—The deceased, it appears, was a shepherd at Roehampton Gore Farm, Roehampton, and on Monday, about twelve o'clock, he entered a field for the purpose of separating a bull from driving a herd of cows. He was so doing when the animal turned round, and rushing at him, made several thrusts with its horns, with which finally catching him by the lower extremi ties, it threw him into the air. Some of deceased's fellow-servants who had witnessed the occurrence im mediately ran to his assistance, and conveyed him in an insensible state to the farm-house, from whence he was removed to the above institution. On examination, it was found that he had sustained an extensive wound in the thigh, and a laceration of the spine and neck, together with other injurieg, under which he sank and died at three o clock yesterday afternoon. The deceased was thirty-five years of age, and ho left a wife and three children. SUDDEN DEATH OF A C ENTENARIAN DU RING THS STORM OF SUNDAY.—Yesterday, an inquest was held. before W. Carter, Esq , at the King John's head, Ber mondsey-square, on the body of Thomas Harbui, who used to say he was in his hundredth year. Thomas Harbut, the grandson of the deceased, of No. 3, Long wall Bermondsey, stated that the deceased was formerly a tanner, but of late years an inmate of Bermondsey workhouse. Ile always went to church on a Sunday, and afterwards witness or his brother took him a waik, previous to going home to dine with them.
