They will be a prey of marauders. They will listen to the exciting tales of the Tripes and Mon of public opi n i on, tagues, and sh ow themselves beggared before the bar calling frantically for vengeance upon their deceivers. Lord John Russell can well understand the loss that many " hereditary legisla - v tors" have sustai ne d. I t is truly a matter of serious consideration to know what the Upper House will do without the Duke. H e h a d t h e same power ove r a large number of volatile su bj ects as Virg i l ' s had over the winds sub m i tted to his care . H e was placed, like the cla ss i ca l god, bolus high above his roving subjects. He held his sceptre firmly. He alone could soothe their minds and temper their wrath. He, like lr.olus , knew his subjects well, and felt certain that but for him they would sweep over the political heaven and earth, over the court and the nation, and create a tumult which they would have no power to put down. Where is the Neptune in the House of Lords, who, as in Virgil's fable, will lift his placid heed above the troubled waters, and bring the jarry elements to re pose? Let us rememtser, wren we endeavour to speculate upon what nill be the future conduct or the House of Lords with regard to the great questions that will come before it in the Dext session , that .a sixty-vote Moderator is gone. One broad feeling 0." sympathy, which was sufficient to produce a certain unity of action amongst very discordant element', has vanished. The House will be split up into parties, without having any definite principle to guide them. They will have all the mechanism of an integral portion of the constitution, but they will want a motive power they long relied on. Heine tells a story of an automatic man, constructed by an inge nious Englishman, which, by the means of a com plex arrangement of springs, performed all the ordi-. nary functions of humanity. It would have passed muster as a genuine specimen of the human race amongst any assembly. Nevertheless, the automaton had just sense enough to know its own defect. It found out, alas ! that it bad no soul, and it set to work forthwith to tease its creator to give it the grand desideratum. It followed the unfortunate artist all through the world with the reiterated request, "Give tae a soaL" The House -of Lords -win be - in the pre dicament of lleine's automaton. The orilY difference will be that it has lost what the automaton never had. The Tory members have lost the soul of their body ; and weknow not, hoWever loudly they may cry, where they will get another. It would be difficult to point out any other class which is characterised by such features of hopeless mediocrity as the Tory party in the present House of Peers. With respect to oun elves, we have nothing to fear from that body. Its power for mischief has been long since neutralised, and its power for good has been diminished by the deatil of rtuhelinDg spirituke. With Lord Derby the case is different. m ay find to his cost that a House of Peers without a may—although powerless in its effect': upon the nation be a terrible thorn in the sides c 'f a Minist er . tainty an e ma y anti cipate with a tolerable cer anti- Derby party , as his colleagues in the other House may -. lo o k for an anti-Disraeli party , as the result of th e s i ns of each lion.

The estimate of 144,0001. did not include the purohase of any land or compensation to be given, but even these, from the character of the locality, might be fairly con sidered less than is usual in such cases. The sum, though moderate, is ample, and the designer would guarantee its execution within the estimate. This arises from various causes—such works, through the incitement of railway enterprise, are better under stood. The nature of iron, and its many advantages in works of this magnitude, are thoroughly compre hended; and, above - all, toffer-dams and the old fashioned system of pile-driving are entirely dispensed with by a recent very ingenious application of the principles of the diving-bell. A tube is dropped into the water, and rests upon the bed of the river. If the river is deeper than the tube is long, other tubes are riveted to it until the uppermost stands above high water; an apparatus with double valves is fixed on the top, and made air-tight, an air-pump is then ap plied, and the pressure within the pipe raised until it expels the water, which cannot ooze in again, the pressure within being greater than the density of the water without, and keeps the interior of the tube perfectly dry. Workmen then de scend, dig away the ground from under the edge of the tube, which sinks by its own weight, and as it sinks other cylinders are fixed on the top, and the whole let down until they have reached a solid foun dation. In this manner the tubes of one of the piers for the new bridge at Rochester were lowered forty feet below the bed of the river, and planted on the solid rock, and they could have taken it 400 feet if necessary. The material cut out is lifted up through the valves before named, and when the proper depth is gained, they introduce bricks and Portland cement, and fill the cavity of the tube with them, which im mediately becomes as strong as stone. These tubes (being six or seven feet in diameter) are placed within two or three feet of each other and in double rows, and can be extended to any length that the width of the bridge requires. They are then all braced to gether with • beams of iron, and on the top is placed a plate of iron, with transverse beams, and the cavities b e t ween , about twelve inches deep, are filled with cement, &c. Then round all the tubes is fixed a shield, pointed up and down the river, so that all danger is warded off and injury from collisions avoided. The plate described may then become the foundation for the stonework, from which the arches spring, or the plate itself may become the foundation. th " • Should any question arise as .o t e durability of the iron, or its likelihood to corrode and fall off, be (Mr. Bennoch) had been assured by Sir Charles Fox, than whom there is no better authority, that iron in such a position, and one inch thick, would last 500 years, but if it did fall off you have still left the solid masonry, which time could hardly destroy. He had, he trusted, proved sa tisfactorily the three propositions he set out with— the necessity was obvious--no site could be better chosen—and the cost will be only half the cost of Blackfriars, and only one-fourth the expense of Lon don-bridge. The streets in the neighbourhood seem to have been arranged as if some such improvement had then been contemplated. After crossing the river on a dead level from Fish-street by a very gentle descent of 2 feet 6 inches in 100 it comes to the level at Union-street, crossing only two streets of any importance—Thames-street, in the City, and Great Guildford-street, in the Borough; continuing southward it joins the New Southwark•bridge-road beyond the Queen's Bench, and gives a direct line from the heart of Middlesex to the heart of Surrey. One objection may be urged which has generally made weight, but in this instance opposition would be truitless, as he believed the building of a church where church accommodation was needed would overcome the scruples of the Bishop of London ; and permission to pull down St. Mary's, Fish-street, wou ld eas ily be obtained. He (Mr. Bennoch) had caused statistics of attendance of the churches in that locality to be taken, and was astonished to find, that in seven churches within 200 yards of the one proposed to be removed only 250 persons were present. In one at the corner of Old Change and Watling-street there was a con• gregation of 150, leaving only 100 for the other six churches, an average of not quite 27 each, so the re moval of one would not greatly overcrowd the others. One word more and I have done—how were the funds to be raised ? That was legitimately within the scope of the inquiry of the committee; but he believed the scheme carried with it so much common sense and argument that Government would immediately sanc tion any feasible plan to raise the necessary amount ; it is a question for Middlesex and Surrey, quite as much as for the corporation, and all might be bound to centribute their shares. So far as the City is concerned, he verily believed that not only would the ground be cleared, compensation given, but the bridge built for less money than it would cost to open the road to Earl-street; and there is no comparison between them when the public convenience is duly considered —it would not indeed cost more than the removal of Farringdon Market. While advocating the scheme he had projected he had studiously avoided any remarks upon the present or late improvements, because he felt that those completed and others sug gested went far to render necessary the one they were then considering ; and if the court would refer it to a committee to be investigated, he would pledge himself to substantiate, by irrefragible evidence, every statement he had made. He would, therefore, move, as an amendment, "that no farther proceedings shall be taken in the proposed rebuilding of the bridge at Blackfriars, especially a temporary bridge, until the Bridge-house committee have examined and re ported on the propriety of building a new bridge across the Thames between Blackfriars and South wark-bridge,: and the probable coat of the same, and the approaches thereto ; and that the report be referred back to the Bridge-house committee ac cordingly."

THE HYGEIAN OR MORISONIAN SYSTEM OF MEDICINE. 1. All animal bodies consist of fluids and solids. 2. While in a state of embryo, all animals consist entirely of fluids. 3. It is from and by the fluids that the solids are formed. 4. The fluids contained in the human body are four times the weight of the solids. 5. The chief of the fluids is the blood, from which all others are derived. 6. The blood not only repairs every part of the human machine, but also carries with it all the rubbish or decayed parts, to be depo sited in the intestines, previous to being expelled along with the ex crement. 7. The blood is the life—the priinum mobile—the first agent—from which all others derive their origin. 8. Health depends upon the purity of the blood. 9. The purity of the blood depends upon its having free cutlets for its decayed particles. 10. Disease is Induced by the choking np of these outlets in the bowels by reason of an accumulation of glary mucus on the inner surface of the intestines, &c. 11. This accumulation is occasioned by anything that weakens the circulation or hurts digestion, but chiefly by the poisonous drugs and bad treatment of the Faculty. 12. The impurities thus detained in the blood occasion every spe cies of disease, according to the quality of the humour, or the parti cular locality in which it is lodged. 12. All diseases arise from one source, therefore they may all be cured by one medicine. 14. This medicine must be a vegetable purgative, innoxious in it self, yet sufficiently powerful to pervade the whole system, clear away the abovementioned mucus, and purify the blood. 15. The discovery of a vegetable compound, capable of being di gested, and mixing with the blood, so as to impart to it that energy requisite for ridding the body of all superfluous humours, was a de sideratum. 16. This discovery has been made by JAMES MORISON, the Hygeist, in the composition of the Vegetable Universal Medicine, commonly known as Morison's Pills, of the British College of Health, Hamilton-place, King's-cross, New-road, London. TREATMENT of the ENGLISH ABROAD; Another instance, says the Leicestershire Mercury,. has just come to our knowledge of the growing inso lence displayed by the despotic Powers of the Conti nent towards Englishmen residing within their sway. The present case, too, is all the more startling because it has not occurred either in France, Italy, or Aus tria. Saxony is the kingdom which is now striving to share the unenviable and disgraceful notoriety hitherto only attaching to the Governments of those countries. Dresden, its capital, is the place of all others chosen for the first overt avowal of adhesion to the unholy alliance of the second half of the nineteenth century. And the party who is the first victim to this spreading absolutist hatred of the very name of an Englishman is one in whom we naturally feel an interest—both from his connexion with this locality, and from his early services on behalf of Hungarian nationality and independence. We allude to Dr. Paget, author of the well-known work on " Hun gary and Transylvania." This gentleman, as many of our readers are aware, after leaving Leicester, went to reside in Dresden. There he was leading a very quiet life, and, as he imagined, a life of security as well as peace. Suda denly, on the 2d of this very month, September, his house was visited by a party of police, who seized and carried off all his letters, MS. note-books, diaries and a considerable number of books. The British Minis.. ter, Mr. Forbes—for England has a duly accredited and acknowledged representive at the Court of Saxony —was, we learn, very indignant at this outrage. He at once called upon the Saxon Minister of Foreign Affairs for an explanation of such extraordinary con duct, and, we should imagine, likewise demanded the restoration of the books and papers so seized. The most perfect ignorance and innocence were pleaded by this functionary. Believe it who may, neither he nor the Minister of the Interior knew anything—so they averred—of this most flagrant outrage. From them nothing could be learned, and Dr. Paget was left utterly in the dark as to what could be the pretext for such an unexpected and arbitrary proceeding. Whether the documents and property thus carried off have been returned, we have not heard. We cannot think that the British Minister would, on any tic ' count, suffer them to be detained after he had once moved in the matter, unless some clear and indispu table justification of their seizure could be shown and proved. That, from all we know of Dr. John Paget, we feel persuaded could not be done. No act of his can have justified the ,Saxon Gov ernment i n treat i ng him in this manner ; and we trust t hat , outrage becomes known, th ere w ill be w h e n the such an ex pression of opinion upon the subject throughout the country, as shall stimulate, if not compel, even al "tilir. reactionary Governme n t t o i nquire into the re"'"' and sources of this do m i c ili ary visit. We use the word " sources " adv i se dly. For the reader will obser ve t h at this transact i on lass not oc curred in any A ustr i an State where the embers of insurrection and revolution are still fiercely smoul dering. against whose ruler , It has taken ' Dre e s en in Saxony, .

We trust this may not be the last, if he shall detect any other equally flagrant evil which it may be in his power to correct."—London Medical Gazette, May 30, 1851. —" The editor has conferred a great boon on the sufferers ftom this distressing malady by translating this little book, and by laying bare the scandalous practices of unqualified adventurers, who profess to cure a disease of which they know nothing, with no other object than to fill their own purses. The difference between true Sperma torrhcea and the various forms of disease wilich resemble it are accurately described, and thus a safe guide is offered for the treatment of the malady "—Medical Circular, May 5, 185 2. —" We have delayed so long upon the contents of the preliminary chapter, that we have scarcely left ourselves space for any notice of the subject specially treated of b y Dr. Pickford ; but the moderate price at which the brochure' is sold, places it within the rech April of every o ne Interested in the ipatter."—Dublin Medical Press, a 18,1852.

PROPOSAL FOR A NEW BRIDGE OVER. THE TIAMES. At a Court held yesterday, Mr. 13Aeney (in th e absence of Mr. Thomas Rowl e y, th e c h a irmsn of the Bridge-house Estates Committ ee ), move d, n That the report recommending the re-b u ildi ng o f Blaskfriars bridge be adopted." He said th at th e Committee were decidedly of opinion that it wou ld n ot be wise to expend their means in rep a i r i ng th e brilge, but that they were unanimouslyof opinion that a new one should be erected.—(Hear, hear.) I n the repair. connected with that bridge so me t h ousan d s o f pounds had been expended, and having h a d s o muc h of repa rations in such matters, th e comm i ttee thought it better to submit to the consider a ti on o f th e Court at large whether it would not be better at ones to con struct a new bridge. He therefore moved that the court agreed with the committee in their report. Deputy Mee submitted that as the chairman of the' Bridge-house Estates Committ ee w as not in his place, that it would be wise to postpone the motion. Mr. BENNOCII observed that he had had fa some time a notice upon the paper of business with refer ence to the desirability of constructing a new bridge over the Thames in a direct line with Old 'Change, north and south. He was ready to go on with that proposition, in conjunction with the one thee before the court as to the recommendation for constructing a new Blackfriars-bridge, and h e believed, if he was permitted to do so, he should b e a bl e ma terially to abridge the discussion on both of the propositions. The COURT then agreed that . Mr. Bennoch's pro posal should be entertained siraultiineously w ith the report. Mr. BENNOCH then said, although h e had given I notice of the motion for a new bridge so l on g ago as December, 1851, he was nevertheles s g l a d o f the delay, as the report introduced by the B r id ge -house Committee added weight to his prop osa l . I n pro posing such a scheme as he had to intr o d uce, conipre bending an improvement of the most important kind, he had no personal or pecuniary advantage in view. Neither the pulling down of old and dilapidated houses, nor the building of new ea, him. His business lay in a different di rect i on.

He would only ask any of the mem bers to stand on London-bridge for ten minutes be tween nine in the morning and six in the evening, to convince them of the necessity of further accom modation for the increasing traffic of the metropolis. Blockaded with waggons, cabs, and omnibuses, at certain times it was almost impassable. At Black friars-bridge the evils were greatly aggravated. Much of the crowding of the large thoroughfares arose from the fact that many of them converged at a certain point without suffieient provision being made for the proper circulation jig carriages. New streets were opened parallel with old ones, which they re lieved at one point to block up at another. Traffic north and south naturally found its way over Black friars or London-bridge. Omnibuses from Islington to Kennington might go down Nawgate-street to avoid the crush on Ludgate-hill, bat they must go across the line at Farringdon-street; others went to London-bridge to swell a tide already too full, and everybody knew that the sleepy progress and frequent interruption of public conveyances rendered it economical in point of time to walk rather than ride from Aldgate to Temple•bar. If Southwark-bridge w ere free of toll to-morrow it would not greatly relieve the streets. There was no outlet to the stream of traffic. It would ease London-bridge of many of its car riages, but it would soon block up Queen-street, and find a dead lock in Cheapside, while the gradients were so bad that heavy drays woullevoid it. In all improvements, especially in the formation of bridges, a free outlet should be the chief site, and until Vic toria-street was completed London-bridge alone agreed with that principle. It would be interesting to arrive at the annual amount of fee loss sustained by brewers, wharfingers, carriers, end proprietors of public conveya nces th rough stoppages in the streets. An ingenious friend of his had gone into the calcu tion, and com e t o t h e conclusion that w h a t m ight be done in ten mi nu t es usually occupied f if teen minutes, to the sacrifice of one or two thousand pounds per day, or from 300,000/ . to 600,000/. per annu m ; but taking the loss at 3001. per da , t h e re was a loss of 100,0001. annually, an amount alnost sufficient to build a bridge onc e a year. The arcumen t d e ducible from the extraordin ary i ncrease of Pu bli c convey ances, not only since our last City 'ridg e was com-. menced. but opened, must have conidera bl e weight Since then cabs had multiplied four or .five fold,d whilst of omnibuses, which w re at that period unknown, there were upwards of 3,100. The rapid spread business, spread of commerce, and the necesities conducted within a circumscribed sea, turned I dwe t ing-houses into counting-houses, and forced_ the population to reside in the various suburbs, andtt! their vehicles necessary to convey them 3 and from houses seriously added to the traffic But the argu ment arising from th e rapid increoo o f population was perhaps th e most conclusive an d might gathered from the f o ll ow i ng facts :— l n t h e year 1801, when the population was but 95,863, there wore but three bridges; in 1811, who! more were souls, there there being an increase f 179,9 52 soul, there was no addition to the number In 1821' when the increase amounted to 240,132. two were f the com pleted, making five in all.

Alderman LAWRENCE remarked that there could be no doubt but that the erection of a temporary bridge, as proposed in the report before the Court, would involve a considerable amount of expense, and he thought that such an amount would be much bet ter laid out if it were dedicated, in part, towards the erection of an extra bridge for the convenience of the great body of their fellow-citizens.—(Hear, hear.)

FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY. TlMES.—Mankind—at least in all civilized coun tries—have agreed to respect the period which inter venes between death and burial—" the first dread days of nothingness," as Lord Byron calls them—that solemn and touching time when the earthly tenement which the soul has deserted seems not wholly uncon scious of the life which once animated it, and lingers between the action which it has lost and the corrup • tion to which it is destined. The family are secluded from the eye of the public, the ordinary place of worship is deserted, and the greedy heir himself must restrain his impatience to know the amount of his acquisitions till the grave has closed over the form of their late possessor. If these be the forms and solem nities of a private mourning, how much more faith fully should they be observed when a nation grieves with genuine and unsimulated sorrow for the loss of the greatest of her sons ? So long as those limbs which for our sake have braved every danger from which human nature shrinks back, and have been preserved as if by miracle to sink in an honoured and mature old age , re main still uninterred, the thought o f t h e our hearts, mighty dead should be uppermost in and little space should be left for the jealousies and rivalries of the living. Death has just struck down a noble prey. Achilles can wield his arms n o more, and the second-rate heroes of Greece are contending warrior before the for the spoils of the great last unavailinghonours have been paid to his memory. not forget to record that "tory and biography will hours after the death of within four-and-twenty Welling ton the heads of the -Univerit' Itea o t f Duke pf Chancellor met together, not to deplore vrhicli he was the irrepa rable loss which the country and the sustained, not to consult on the mann er niversity had . in which that learned body might best show its f for the man who for 18 years had presided ovef? s e e and her councils, but to consider to whom ther studiesv chair of office might be offered and what measures t might be taken for securing the succession. The preliminary meeting was not unfruitful, for on Friday, just three days after the late honoured Lord and Chancellor of the University had breathed his last, a requisition was framed and signed by Heads and Fellows of Collges, declaring the Earl of Derby to be eminent'y qualified for the Chancellorship of the University, and inviting all members of Convocation who might be of the same opinion to join in a request to his Lordship that he would allow himself to be put in nomination. It would be too much to expect that where a Prime Minister is concerned, the honour to the dead, or self-respect of the living, would b 3 allowed to restrain the burning zeal of this learned and enthusiastic body. Many reasons combine to make the Earl of Derby the natural choice of a large number of the resident members of the University of Oxford. The maxim " Blessed be each man pos sessed of aught to give" is nowhere more cordially recognised than in our ancient seats of learning. The man who can make the Head of a College into a Bishop, a Tutor into the Head of a Hall, or a Master of Arts into a fat rector, has more virtues than meet the eye—more capabilities than a superficial observer can detect, and is the object of a hero worship more sincere and unfaltering than that which waits on mere virtue and merit. In their zeal to fling themselves at the feet of the Premier the Oxonian magnates had no time to think of the glorious past or solemn present of their Chancellor. Their thoughts, their aspirations, were all for the future. The dead might bury their dead, the living, especially those who live by patron• age, must look to the living. Besides these very ob vious individual motives, there was another cause at work, sufficient alone to have driven the remem brance of the Duke of Wellington from the minds of the resident Oxford electors. The report of the recent Commission threatens the University with changes which the routine and obstructive spirit of the place regards with aversion and terror. We are told that the great Duke had arrived within a few pages of the end of this report, and we cannot doubt that his clear and masculine intellect yielded an assent to nanny of the propositions it maintains and enforces, never, unhappily, destined to be carried into action. Escaped from the danger of a reforming Chancellor, the last chance for avoiding the dreaded changes was to link the fate of the University to one who, like Lord Derby, had political power to protect her from improvement, and like him, would be willing to per petuate any abuse whose existence gave power to himself or stability to his Government. With such an object in view, with no less an end to attain than the enlisting the Premier in defence of University abuses, it was only natural that the respect due to the mighty dead should be forgotten and the canvass for a new Chancellor should commence when the frame of the old one was scarcely cold in the glorious repose well earned by eighty years of labours and battles. The same indecorous haste which spurred on the ap plication to the Earl of Derby has pervaded the other arrangements of the clique who have already given away the highest honour which the University has to bestow. We are informed that the day of election for the new Chancellor is already fixed for the 12th of October. A wish is also expressed that the Uni versity may be spared the annoyance and trouble of a contest. The friends of Lord Derby have been so unscrupulous as to mature and carry out their mea sures within less than a week from the death of the Duke of Wellington, and they claim as the reward of their questionable diligence the right to give away the highest position in the University without contest and without question. The case has been settled while the rest of the University have been engaged in counting up the services and regretting the irreparable less of the greatest man who has ever filled, or who will ever fill, the presidential chair of the Sheldonian theatre ; and it were surely hard to disappoint those indefatigable personages who knew how to employ these precious moments so much better than in vain regrets and unselfish contemplations. It is, however, quite possible that the mea sures by which a small knot of resident seniors have contrived to nominate a Chancellor for the University may provoke the very opposition it is in tended to forestall. The appointment of the 12th of October as the day of election, which might have been so easily postponed till the meeting of the Colleges, has too much the air of an attempt to withhold the franchise from the resident electors to be allowed to pass wishout censure and without resistance. The younger Masters of Arts, for the most part now absent from Oxford on their vacation rambles, will be apt to consider that they have as good a right as their resident seniors to form an opinion on a subject so momentous to the University and themselves. They will be disposed to ask what are the qualifications, beyond those of high rank and large official patro nage, which render the Earl of Derby a prize to be secured at the price of so much jockeyship and so much indecorum. The keen pursuit of party politics on all sides in turn and a devotion to the pleasures of the turf are not such para mount recommendations as to necessitate hasty measures, and it is possible that such look singly those who 100 singly to the good of the University might find else where a nobleman whose pursuitsandwhose tast es fit him far better for the d• _ : _ ni ischarge of academical duties.

This is, indeed, high praise—praise, the value of which is infinitely increased, when coming from the mouth of a political opponent. But few persons know so well as the Whig leader the value of the influence whi c h the Duke exercised. The House of Peers is notori ously behind the age in its knowledge of the signs o f the times. Nevertheless, it may be affirmed of mem bers of this order that however they may be below the level of general public intelligence, they are often practically willing to recognise the realities of their position. Conscious that they were themselves unable to collect sufficient materials to form lucid • d ju gments upon great questiong, many of them --for instance — threw themselves unreservedly upon the great prac tical common sense of the Duke. Often and often has his Grace had in his pocket enough votes to give a majority in the House of Peers. He has had—it is known—as many as sixty proxies confided to him. The Duke of Wellington by his death has thus Bur s, rendered the keeping of some sixty consciences, which The Paris correspondent of the Independance of Bel gium states, among other Parisian gossip, that the oit• King of Westphalia has !Aimed his nephew not to trouble himself about a marriage with the Princess Wean or any other foreign Princess, but to pick out some well educated and healthy French female a s hi s b ride; an d w Louis Napoleon, alth oug h he 41 note arden will follow th e advice of hij t l o ar ld ed th t a h t athe uncle, may take that course.
