The treatmen t Bch _ is founded on experience gained in the most celeb rated u ° l3 of medicine both in this country and in continental Europe. _ne results of the k now l e d ge th us acquired are here condensed under re personal supervision of Dr. La'Mert, himself one of the few qualified physicians who have devoted their whole and divided studies to this important branch of medical science. In short, to 77' Peculiarity relating to the treatment of the diseases incidental u t he generative sy s t em , an d the means of immediate relief and ultimate cure are described in detail. The profession al re p utation pr. La'Mert, who has taken the most distinguished medical and inviolable secrecy honours at home and abroad, is in itself a sufficient guarantee that those who may place themselves under his care in v i' in every instance, meet with that delicate consideration and eas es.

The following testimonial is another proof o f the great effi cacy of this medicine : " 157, Now Bond-street, London, October 12, 1850. " Sir,—ln acquainting yon with the great benefit *which I have ex perienced by taking BLAIR'S GOUT and RHEUMATIC PILLS, I feel that I am but performing a duty to that porti on of the public who may be similarly affected. "About twenty years since I was first attacked by rheumatic gout in my hands and feet. I had previously been subjected to every va riety of climate, having served in Canada in the 19 th. Dragoons, and in Spain, under Sir John Moore, in the 18th Hussar s. I always pro cured the best medical aid, without obtaining an y essential relief, and my sufferings can be appreciated only by those who know some thing of this disease. "It was during one of those paroxysms, between twelve and thir teen years ago, that I was recommended to try BLA IR'S PILLS. I ost no time in procuring a box, and before I had take re that quantity the pain had entirely ceased, and in a few days I was in perfect health. "From that moment, whenever I feel any symptc ems of the dis ease approaching, I have instant recourse to this raedi eine, which to me is so valuable, that were it not that the days t)f magic have ceased, I should certainly attribute the relief I obtain to that cause. Moreover, I rejoice to say that my health has.rot in an 7 degree suf fered, but on the contrary I believe the tendency of BL. kIR'S PILLS is towards its improvement. " I have recommended the Pills to many friends, and the result has always been of the most gratifying character. " I am, Sir, yours respectfully, " GARRET FOSTER GILL. " To Mr. Front, 229, Strand." For every description of Gout and Rheumatism, Sciatica, Tic-dolo reux, Soc., &c., BLAIR'S GOUT and RHEUMATIC PILLS are a sovereign remedy, contain neither mercury, opium, or any other dangerous drug, require no care whatever in their use, and for ra pidity of cure and complete safety have not their equal in the world. Sold by Thomas Front, 229, Strand, London; and all respectable Medicine Vendors. Price 2s. 9d. per box.

If anybody wants to I the charms of this metro polis let him spend a'wee has the week before last, akParis, and return for eek, such as last week, to Onon. There ho wit d the air itself, if not every wlissre balmy, yet alw. exhilarating, brightening up eveny lace, giving elasticity to every step, end so clear that from the top of the Arc de Triomphe, or the heights of Montmartre, it seems possible to count every chimney and every attic window in Paris. Here he passes at once into the• atmosphere of a brewhousa and the odours of a stable, He breathes in steam, he sees through smoke, he walks through mud, and ho smells the sewers. As ho forces his way through the princi pal thoroughfare he is alternately stunned by the incessant noise and brought to a standstill by the utter inadequacy of both the pavements and the car riage way. There were times last week when to get from Charing-cross to the London-bridge station would take nearly as much time as a journey by the express from London to Brighton, or to Oxford. Paris, of course, has its disagrecablea, for though not a port, nor the seat of manufacture, except for articles of ;luxury :and taste, it is a garrison, and a hundred thousand soldiers are a blessing not without some drawbacks, But in Paris immense efforts have been made, and are still making, suf ficient to satisfy the strongest craving for improve ment. The congested centre of that metropolis is being perforated by splendid thoroughfares, opening the great national and municipal palaces to one another, and giving a clue to the intricate labyrinths that surround the Hotel do Ville. Under the banks of the Seine vast sewers in tercept and carry off what we as carefully infuse into our river, though in Paris there is not the same neces sity for such an arrangement as in the case of a tidal stream which twice a day brings back its load of abomi nations. Among other points in which Paris sets us an example, it is now more than half a century since a corpse was interred, or au animal slaughtered for food, within a quarter of a mile of the barriers. The result of these and other arrangements is, that Paris is a city a man is happy to live in all the year round, even when he has other alternatives. Its suburbs are sought rather for cheapness and quietness, and for schools, by reduced gentlewomen, by aunts, and grandmothers, than by men and families. Though dissipation and poverty shorten life there even more than here, at all events Paris is an enjoyable city, and its inhabitants are con. tent to make it their constant home. We only contrast the condition of the French and the British capitals just to show how much can be done in spite of the great difficulties and hindrances inevit able to a place always on the verge of revolution, and enjoying only a fraction of our commerce and wealth — how much, on the other band, may be left undone in the wealthiest, freest, and quietest metropolis in the world. It is little to the purpose to talk of this or that foreign city, or to expatiate generally on continental dirt, for what fair comparison can there be between this city of millionaires and towns where silver, if it exits at all in an unalloyed form, is as precious as life-blood? There is no occasion, however, to go to contrasts at all. Every engineer, every mechanic, will tell us, what in deed is obvious on the smallest consideration, that whin ever is necessary to the health and comfort of a city i 4 a mere question of s. d. If it is possible to make one street a good one, to make one house perfectly clean and sweet, to do one hundred yards of drainage effectually, to supply one house with a sufficiency of pure water, it is poseibla to do this for the whole city. Among other uses designed in the existence of palaces and mansions, Providence, doubtless, intends that they shall be specimens of whet may be done, and that, beginning from these, we shall go on to do the like for whole cities. Buckingham Pa lace, we trust, by this time has been rendered a healthy and commodious residence, in spite of some consider able difficulties. That once achieved, there is no reason why every tenement in St. Giles's or Bethnal-green should not be made as salubrious and agreeable, as fur es it goes—nay, more so, seeing that the very collars even of the notorious Church-lane are at a higher level than the roof of Buckingham Palace; but it is a matter of demonstration that there need not be one single nuisance, either public or private, in this metropolis, and that the heart of London might be as sweet as the South Downs. London might be made the very healthiest spot in the world, for oven that apparently insuperable evil, the smoke of our coal fires. besides that it is more of an eyesore C3an a real mischief, - may be reduced within very bearable limits. The obstacles to improve ment, then, ere moral rather than physical, and the an tagonists we have to deal with are not so much the ele ments of external nature and the necessary conditions of humanity in masses, as certain foes within the camp— the selfishness, stupidity, and indolence of man, or rather of some men. -- The worst of it is that the more talk there is about it, o wayf discussion o f act u a l results. about , the more legislation, and the more there is that profes ses to o r be example, done, the there less haswo havo in the boon no end intramural inteemetes, and an Act was passed, now many months since, which was expected by the credulous public to stop them altogether. No such thing. To the best of our information the spade is busy in every burial ground of this metropolis, and parsons, clerks. sextons, beadles, grave-diggers, and all the rest of the sable fra ternity, aro burying all the faster because they think their time short. Really they have no ocoaaion to give way to these gloomy apprehensions. Strong in the power of pi escriptdon, and mighty in abuse, they may safely trust in the weakness of laws and the imbecility of Parliament. Twenty years will find them still unmo lested, still gathering fees from corruption, and reaping a harvest from death. Thu next generation will see our graveyards only heaped a yard higher, and their wails only bulging a little more, and of somewhat deeper stain. The next generation will see the Thames still unnaturally turbid, and its mud banks still crimson under the July sun ; it will still be greeted at every step with the vapours of death as cending from grates,areas, cellars, and the whole surface of a soil saturated with sewerage and impregnated with gas. The next generation will still find our paving in heaps for three months every year, our great thorough fares at a dead lock ton times a day, our eats stunned by a traffic nine-tenths of which could be carried swiftly and silently over rails, Holborn-hill without a viaduct, and the metropolis in general only getting worse and worse, because, as long at least as we continue to prosper, it must become larger and larger. To what purpose, then, is all this, if so far there has been nothing but talk, and for the future there seems nothing but discouragement ? Is it nothing, then, that the metropolis still want the master mind who is to render it the monument of his useful services ? On all sides ambitious patriots are asking,for something to be done. Everywhere you meet your Horculee panting for his labours. After all, homely as it may appear, what arena so worthy as that in which we live ? The control of fifty colonies, the adjustment of the European " balance of power," the regulation of trade, and all the other functions of an Imperial Government, have their several glories, but also their difficulties and their mis haps. Moreover, these are matters in which political sentiment and party spirit arc sure more or less to thwart the greatest talents and beat designs. But the which intailnall improvement of this m etro p olis is a work w surely reward the statesman with sumo degree of suc cess, and which promises a comparative exemption from merely factious obstacles. At the present rote of in crease, the population of this city will amount in thirty years to that of art independent second-clasa State, Hol- nod ou ght to confer as much glory on its restorer as land, or Belgium , o r Denmark, or Portugal could on it s greatest deliverer or stat esman. We seriously com mend this consideration to some of the meny Ministers unattached who are going about town Dallier" for em ployment, and unable to g et it in more usual channels. Of course it cannot be disguised that the task requires even more judgment than courage, and we cannot pro mise to back up every great scheme fur the improvement and better management of this metropolis simply be caul° it is a great scheme. Projectors must take their chance of that. We have only to proclaim that the work is still to be done. London waits for its great aelile. There is still to come the man, who will not, indeed, " find it brick and leave it marble," but who may render it the most wholesome, agreeable, and convenient place of residence in the world, and that not merely for the ten thousand fashionable families who occupy one quar ter of it for the season, hut for the half-million families who are confined to it all the year round.—Tinics. A WFUL LY SUDDEN DEATH IN A RAILWAY CAR RIAGE.—On Monday last, Mrs. Timbrell, a p as songer by ki 9 30 a.m. express train from London was, on tho train approaching Warring ton, observed b y ono of her fellow-passengers to l ean back as if dozing, but upon its arrival at the station it was found that she was dead.

THE UNITED STATES. (From the - Correspondent) NEW YORK, 0c..9, half-pass 10 tam. My s letter on the Lone Star movement reached this country just as our leading journals had become aware of the extent of that society, and somewhat in formed in regard to its operations. I had derived my information when I wrote from what I beljeveS to be authentic sources, and I am sorry now, in addition to what I had before stated, to be obliged to communi cate other facts, which not only Corroborate all that I said, but which impart a still deeper signification to this matter. Your remarks on the same subject were immediately copied into some of our newspapers, while others gave the substance of them in their own editorial articles ; but my letter by the last steamer will have already informed you of a gross outrage perpetrated upon our flag by the authorities in Haven nab, and you will find in nearly all our Atlantic journals of the last week earnest language concerning that occurrence. I need not tell you that the recent occurrences in Hevannah, as well as the remarks of our most promi nent newspapers, not only confirm the truth of all my statements in reference to the Lone Star Order, but they corroborate to nu unexpected extent thie tendency of public opinion in this country as I foreshadowed it. The truth is, that this is likely to proves very ugly business for us all. I entertain apprehensions about it which I cannot shake off. I see a drift of public feeling among the American people which be tokens the precipitation of events that I WA every friend of this country would treetia-avertvut is something else that I regard as still more impor tant. The present Captain General of Cuba is the worst enemy Spain has inspired, perhaps by loyal zeal for his Sovereign and patriotic feelings for his couu try, he is pushing things to such an extreme that he is waking up the indignation of that very class of our people who will thus be hurried into a policy which, but for such outrages, would meet with no favour except from the Lone Star men and their intimate adherents. The treatment which several of our officers and vessels had already experienced afforded some theme for talk about national American power, Republican empire, &c. ; but all this would have slipped by, and men of sense and discretion would have everywhere either overlooked or palliated what had been done; but the late aggres sions and insults to the Cornelia and the Crescent city have excited universal indignation. The British peo ple have never submitted very tamely in any period of their history to insults on the sea, and it should never be forgotten in any judgment which English men form about Americans, that we are only Anglo- Saxons, much resembling our fathers in past ages and oar brothers of 1852, on the other side of the At lantic, in our good and our evil things. But it would be strange enough if the vast difference in our history should not work some modifications also in the deve lopment of national character and popular feeling, The Americans have grown to be more sensitive on this subject of interference and aggression on the ocean than even Englishmen are themselves. I regret very deeply all that has happ ene d in our rel ations with Cuba since the first lauding of Lopez at Cardenaa. I did ne t 1 enen t Hs first r e p ulse, nor did I much regret on the whole, the final state he suffered, nor did I much regret the fate of my Own countrymen, a n y further than my humanity might have been stirred by the brutality of their deaths. But Ido not desire to see my country irritated into a new and precipi tate launch upon the territories of our neighbours. Heaven is leading us fast enough, without having the unholy impulses of bad passions to drive us on. Like all other Americans who take time to reflect, I wish my country to spread her dominion no faster than she can extend it by the arts of peace or by friendly negociations. For these reasons, I regret deeply the course the Captain General of Cuba is t a king ; for it requires no gaze of a seer to foresee what will be the result. And then suppose the up shot of the matter—what would be a war with Spain to us ? She was too weak 30 years ago to repress the independence of her American colonies, and if she has now to contend for the supremacy of' the last of them against the whole force of the United States, we shall only witness a spectacle which we would not wish to contemplate.---the final degradation of one of the oldest and most venerable States iu Europe. How much were it to be desired that at the present moment some friendly power would whisper wise counsels in the ear of the Cabinet at Madrid! It would seem now that unless the present Captain General is recalled, and his place filled by a wiser man, Cuba will be revolutionized, and the gem of the Antilles lost to Spain for ever. There is a ferocity about his administration which recalls souvenirs of barbarous times, and his recent atrocities have cur dled the blood of our people with horror, and filled them with indignation. The Webster movement has gained hi earnestness and intensity during the last few days. There have been several mass meetings in Boston, and in other portions of Massachusetts, and every new speech that is pronounced goes to show that the breach between the Scott and Webster men of the United States can not be healed. Two evenings ago, at the last great Webster meeting in Faneuil-hall, "the cradle of American liberty," were the most impressive and powerful addresses in favour of the Declaration of Independence had been pronounced three-fourths of a century ago, Mr. Curtis, one of the most eminent of the Boston lawyers and citizens, closed an impas sioned, learned, and powerful appeal of three columns by the following peroration :-- "Entertain no vain regrets for him whom you are now seeking to honour from motives eminently honour able to yourselves. For your country, for a wronged and injured people, for a neglected constitution, you may grieve (tensation)—but not for him. If the efforts which you and others are now making cannot be crowned with success, be assured that the residue of that life will he all that your fondest wishes could make it. (Loud applause.) You will see an old ag e adorned with letters, sustained by religion, dignified by tile noblest of human pursuits,- surrounded by the uffcctions of a- grateful people, a nd exercising, by the mero force of intellect, -an -influence - exeteding that of his own previous life. You will see the retirement of a statt - stnan whose rcs mrees of personal happiness are as ample as his power of public usefulness. You will see that great orb go dawn to the western skies un clouded and serene. Its lust rays will rest on you. The later wisdom of advancing years the, will go forth to mould the opinion of the world will be uttered to you. In the midst of you ;Wended by your vigilance, encom passed by y ou r ca re, he will remain, and his f ame w ill be to you and yours :e possession which neither time, nor accidsnr, nor human caprice, nor human malice, can touch or take away." They are having I se e, morover, less numerous but equally resolute meetings in favour of Mr. Web ster in other parts of the country, and certainly this movement must seriously affect the fortunes of General Scott. A very large number of newspapers in every part of the country have, during the tour of General Scott through the west indulged in the se verest strictures upon his course. They do not hesi tate to say that it is a gross violation of public decency that the Commander-in• Chief of the American army —our little Duke of Wellington—should, when a candidate for the highest civil office, and still in the exercise of the highest military Power known to our constitution, choose such an occasion as this to travel thousands of miles with an imposing suite, and at great public expense, merely to ~‘ „ i tider th e pr e text of IN make political speeches in his own favo ur, performing a public du t y . wonder that the Bullialo Republic should ask, as it does in the follow ing paragraph , "THAT SITE FOE A MILITARY IT --GSPITAL.—When will General Scott find that site ? fie has been march ing and countorraarolsing, traversing an d re-travers i ng State after State, electrifying his W hig friends through out the country with his `il lusur P ass ed eloquence,' and his ' wisdom, which exceeds Newton's and Locke's,' all uhout a site for a military hospital. We should not woudor if that evasive, dodging, uefincleble site should keep out of the G ener al's sight till the time draws near for him to be cited to embark for the Galt River country. Let us not be understood, however, as insinuating that the Whig candidate is on an electioneering tour, instead of looking for that site. No, no, he denies that at every place where he stops. He is certainly i n pursuit of that site, which, like an ignis fatuus, lures him from place to pines, first one course and then another, sometimes ap pearing nearly within his reach, and then flitting again away into another State. A very slippery thing is that site which the General is pursuing ; sad we sometimes doubt whether ho will ever got within the sweep of his sword of it." Many newspapers have made themselves merry at a thousand peculiar remarks'of the illustrious General on his tour, and it has already grown into a proverb that a:Scott-man must of necessity " love that Irish brogue." The General himself made use of this ex pression while addressing a crowd in Ohio. Upon which the New York Sun makes the following com ments : " While the General was addressing a crowd at Cleve land, Ohio, and telling his auditors how glad ho wa s to be with them, some son of Erin, whose tongue, it seems' betrayed its nationality, with genuine Irish hospitality told him he was welcome. Quick as thought the Gene ral exclaimed,— ' I love that Irish brogue. I love to hear it.' " O'Connell himself never excelled that bit of blarney. We expect the Irish brogan to become quite fashionable in political circles at least; and, should Scott be elected to the presidency, office seekers will doubtless practise ral." It is well known that the General had been for merly a furious " native American ;" that ho had written very energetically against allowing foreigners the rights of citizenship until they had been in the country 21 years, or until they had served five years at least in the American army or navy. The hero shows that he feels the necessity of being particularly obsequious to the sons of the Emerald Isle, and they certainly cannot complain that he is not so. There is not much local news of interest. Mr. Howard, the late proprietor of the Irving-home in New York, one of the most popular and magnificent of our American hotels, has recently sold his esta blishment, and it is supposed that he intends to visit London, and open an hotel there on the American system et an expense of half a million sterling. Mr. M'Kay, of East Boston, has nearly completed a clipper ship, which, it is supposed, will surpass in size and sharpness any merchant ship now afloat. She is to be 300 feet long, have a breadth of beam of 50 feet, with 28 feet depth of hold, three decks, and a register of 3,400 tons. She is to be diagonally brat =d with iron, and built as strong as the best ocean steamers. Those who have seen her say that the beauty of her model exceeds that of any of our vessels hitherto built. She is not made on contract, but will be offered for sale when completed. You will have observed that there have been seve ral very perceptible ups and downs in our money market during the last few weeks. The time is ap proaching which I spoke of last spring in one of my letters, when the first symptoms were becoming visible or a monetary crisis iu this country. I remarked at the time that this was inevitable, and that it would come before a long period had passed. The enormous extension of paper money, the immense multiplication of our banking institutions, the pro digious number of loans effected by our railroads, canals, builders, real estate holders, and speculators of all grades, the influx of gold from California, even the impetus given to our trade by the Australian move ment, and, in a word, the unwarrantable expansion of our enterprizes of all kinds throughout the world, must to every shrewd and forecasting mind have indi cated the inevitable approach of a commercial revul sion. Bat the moment of its arrival I have never believed to be so far off as those men have who have been most mixed up with the agitation. Our credit in Europe is good—perhaps it never was better. But your capitalists ought not to shut their eyes to the present state of things in this country, and I hope these few remarks, with my former letter that I have alluded to, may have some tendency in arresting an for unwarrantable e n e x p s a a v n e s i o u i s i o f fp r om u b l a i c recurrence and of credit, such disgrace es we suffered in the days of our all but uni versal repudiation! MONUMENT IN LIVERPOOL TO THE DUKE OF WELLINGTON. noon m on se s ti a n t g ui c d t a t y h , e ethlisedbitiftonrtatohte' t p h u i r s p t o o s w o n ot w . g a i s vi h n e g ld th a e t inhabitants an opportunity of expressing their feelings upon the great loss the country has sustained in the recent demise of his Grace the Duke of Wellington. The Worshipful Mayor, TIIOXAS LITTLEDALE, Esq.. presided, and the meeting was attended by a large number of the gentlemen, professional men, and trades men of the town, of all creeds and parties. - Thd MAYOR, on taking the chair, said ho had much plea:uo in calling a meeting for such au object, and to show how great the feeling was in the town, he would mention that three different memorials had been got tip in one day, but they were now merged into one, th© more expressively to convey the general and undivided opinion which existed. Ho hoped the same unani mous feeling would actuate them now, and that a me morial • creditable to the town would be erected. (Cheers.) _ _ CHARLES TURNER, Esq., M.P., rose to move the first resolution, and said he regretted it had not fallen to a more capable person to propose it ; but he felt that no eulogium was required, as the name of Wellington would live as long as the records of this great empire existed; and so long as the name of Englishmen existed upon the earth, so long would generations of his country mon recount his deeds with pride and admiration. (Ap plause.) He concluded by moving the following reso lution.—" That this meeting, desirous of testifying the high estimation in which the character of tho late Duke of Wellington was held by the inhabitants of this borough, and appreciating those great talents which, during his long life, were unsparingly devoted to the sorvic e of his country—resolved. that o public subscrip tion be open. , " for the purpose of raising to his memory a column, surmounted by a statue, to be placed, by per mission of the Council, in some suitable situation of the town." (Cheers.) WILLIAM BROWN, Esq., M.P., seconded the resolution. Ho said, whatever difference of opinion might prevail as to the policy which had involved us in Continental wars, there could bo none as to the military merits of the Duke of Wellington. No man ever evinced a greater love of country; nor was more careful of the lives of the soldiers under him, always attending to their commissaries. No man had ever shown more patriotism than he had done. Ho had been the faithful counsellor of her Majesty, great in war, great in the senate, and his name would live in the hearts of his countrymen. He hoped there would be no backwardness on the part of the burgesses and inhabi tants in subscribing funds for such a monument as should be a credit to the town, and show to the nation that we appreciated his qualities. There never was a man who had acted through life with more disinterestedness than the Duke—who never, in the course of his difficult and arduous career, ever attempted a job. It was impossible for him to say anything of his merits which faithful his tory would not record. (Loud applause.) The resolution having been put from the chair, and carried unanimously, a committee was appointed to ma nage the details of the proposed memorial, after which, o n the motion of F. B. Horsefall, Esq., M.P., seconded by Archdeacon Brook, Mr. F. E. Moss was appointed Treasurer. Mr. ELIAs ARNAUD related that, in 1830, he was ono of a deputation who called upon the Duke to invite him to visit the town, and he had on that occasion expressed himself in the highest terms of Liverpool, and, with the gallantry of a soldier, said, he should .be highly delighted to see the " Lancashire witches." ,i.fhe Mayor having vacated the-chair, Mr. BroWn was ciilled-theroto y and on the- motion of Eir; L.-Mozley, secoitded by the Eirl of Seftoli, the niXtiks of the moot ing were voted to the Mayor, who briefly aanotylcdged it, and the meeting separated. PROPOSED REPEAL OF THE CATHOLIC RELIEF meeting of the Munehoster Protestant and Reformation Society, held in the Free-trade Hall, Man- cheater, on Thursday evening—the Rev. Hugh Stowe in the chair--the following resolutions were passed:-1 That the gr , ...nt to NitlynoOth, so utterly wrong in pyin ciplo, has been abundantly shown to be no 10,; injurious in practice, more especially in the conduct of the May nooth-traiued priesthood during the late general elec tion ; and that, therefore, a petition to the House of Commons for its repeal be adopted. 2. That it is high time to move for the repeal of the Relief Act of 1829, as utterly incompatible with the liberties of this coun try, tho rights of Protestants, the free action of the Le gislature, and the safety of her Mojesty'e Throne. The meeting was u very large one; but there was a large pro portion of the sofer sex. The speakers included, besides Mr. Stowell, the Rev. Pierce Connolly, late Roman Ca tholic priest, and chaplain to Earl Shrewsbury; Rev, H. W. M'Grath ; Rev. Mr. Richardson. Rev. James Bard aley, Rev. Mr. Trail, and Rev. G. T. Parke. CAMPBELL THE POET.—Dr. Beattie, the biographer and friend of the poet, has addressed the following letter to the Inverness Courier, describing a graceful tribute to his memory on the part of a French gentleman, who now inhabits the house in which ho died at lioulogne-sur- Mer :—" At Boulogne my first visit was to the house where Campbell died, and which, after seven years' ab sence, brought back many recollections connected with the closing scone. Over the door of another house in Boulogne, in which Le Sage (author of Gil Blas) ex pired, there is a tablet recording that event. I had long thought that the death-place of Campbell was entitled to a like distinction, and now was the time for carrying it into effect. The house is now occupied by the President of the Civil Court, a man of letters and a cordial admirer of the poet, and no sooner was the design mentioned to him than he cordially applauded it. I then consulted with Mr. Hamilton, the consul, and we fixed on the fol lowing brief inscription, similar to the one dedicated to Le Sage:—" Ici est inert Thomas Campbell, anteur des Plaisirs de l'Epifirance. xr. Juin MDCCCXLIV." It is engraved on a tablet of black marble with gold letters, and is affixed to the outer wall of the chamber in which he died. I was gratified by observing the respect paid to the memory of Campbell by the French, particularly by the distinguished official who occupies the house. He has taken pains to preserve the rose-trees and shrubs and flowers which the poet admired and cherished during his brief sojourn; and he delights in presenting visitors w ith a rose from ' the poet's tree.' The chamber is bold sacred; and when I tell you that even the small pieces of cloth with which I had stuffed the crevices to exclude sound during oiinn doing w h o i e i nt h p g o m e h t ao ' s ni on s u h tr o h r ta t on k slumbers o a wr r yo e ro u tfi n vc d i aF s m t r u ep r ub e b c e hl d i :, hll p o l j imented the whole count r y." youmt, hasn e;will Tun CRYSTAL PALACE.—The offers of large sums made by several parties for monopoly of the' , pickings" to be found beneath the boards of the Crystal Palace were all refused by the Contractors, Messrs.

THE JVEST GLOUCESTERSHIRE ELECTION RIOTS. On Friday the trial of the body of men charged with rioting at Bridgegate, Gloucestershire, on the occasion of the late contested election, beating the police, obstruct ing the voters on their way to the poll, and extorting money by intimidation, came on before the Gloucester shire court of quarter sessions, and created intense inte rest throughout the county. On the bench and in court were the Hon. Grantley Berkeley, the unsuccessful can didate, and there was a numerous attendance of magis trates. The prisoners arraigned, and against whom true bills were found were 21 in number. Their names were Joseph Wiltshire, Philip Britton, Thomas Wilcocks, William Stone, Joseph Franklin, Richard Williams, Si-' moon Weaver, Joseph Iles, James Goodwin, William Brain, Benjamin Miller, Jonas Davie, George Davis, William Burchell alias Lovell, George Hendy, Charles Lovell, Robert Freake, David Arnold, Aaron Rogers, Thomas Godwin, and William Wilcocks. They were charged with having, on Monday, the 19th of July last, at th parish of Wick and Abson, together with divers others evil-disposed persons, unlawfully, riotously, and wantonly assembled to disturb the peace ; and that they then and there made a great noise and disturbance, and assaulted and beat Thomas Hazen, Henry Knight, E. Broad, W. David, Thomas Wood, Charles Breakspear, William Hardy, and Rum: ey Laughby, of the Glouces tershire police force, while in the execution of their duty; and also assaulted and beat F. B. N. Dickenson, Esq., one of the magistrates for the said county. Two other prisoners, William Osborne and William Jenkins, who are charged with highway robbery and extorting money from the voters, are left for trial at the assizes. The prisoners all pleaded not guilty. Mr. Skinner and Mr. Pigott, were counsel,for the prosecution; and Mr. Cooke and Mr. Powell fur the prisoners. ,The _evidence was very voluminous, but the principal facts' as deduced from the testimony of the witnesses for the prosecution —chiefly - magistrates and policemen—may be put in a narrative form. It will be remembered that at the elec tion for the western division of this county, party feel ing ran very high. The candidates were the old mem bers, Mr. Hale, in the Conservative interest. and the Hon. Grantley Berkeley in the "Liberal Protection " interest. The latter gentleman being opposed by Mr. Nigel Kingscote in the Liberal and free-trade interest. On the first polling-day, Monday, July 19, a large body of men armed with bludgeons and hurdle rails , _ attacked the committee-room of the Protectionist candidate, throwiug stones and breaking the windows. There wore only a few police:on the spot, and after making an ineffectual attempt to disperse the mob, which, according to the account of one of the officers, numbered a thousand people, they were obliged to beat a retreat over the fields, and were followed - a considerable distance across the country by the mob, who pelted them with stones, beat them with sticks, and tore the clothes of some of them to rags. Mr. Mirehouse, a magistrate, read the Riot Act, but the mob paid little attention. Some of the police were carried away for dead, but subsequently recovered. The police called upon the people to "aid and assist" them, but they held aloof or refused. The conduct of one woman, how ever, the wife of a policeman, named George, was must courageous. Placing herself between the mob and the police, she fought nobly in behalf of the civil force, and kept them back, for they were sufficiently manly to refrain from striking a woman. The magistrates pre sent, Messrs. filirehousrs, Dickenson, and Hughes, sent for the military, but they did not arrive ; and the mob was quelled soon after the disappearance of the police. Some of the snob had yellow . cards, Mr. Kingseoto's colours, in their hats. The prisoners were marked by the police, bat were not apprehended until Sunday night, the 15th of August, a month after the election. The trial was brought to a close at S o'clock on Saturday night. The jury, after a ratiezat investigation, found the prisoners guilty of a clnamon assault only. The Chair man sentenced two of the prisoners, Osborne and Jen kins, to 12 months' imptisoutnont ; 13:um, Davis, a nd Lovell, 9 months ; T. Wilcox, Britton, Iles, Jones, Davis, Arnold, and Wiltshire, fi months ; and Treake, Rogers, two Godwins, W. Wilcox, Miller, Houdy, stone, Burchill, and,Weaver, 4 months' imprisonment. THE FATAL DUEL AT EGFIAM. The remains of Mons. Frederick Cournet, who was killed in the fatal duel near Inglefield-green, were in terred yesterday afternoon, in Egham church-yard. Great numbers of Frenchmen arrived by the 11.33 train at the Staines station, and proceeded to Egham, when they partook of refreshment at the King's Head and Catherine Wheel iuns. They then walked to the Barley Llow, at Inglefield-green, where the body of the deceased was lying, and where the necessary arrangements for the funeral had been made by Tar. Oades, of Egham. Soon after one o'clock the procession started, and pre sented a most novel and imposing appearance. The corpse wai borne on the shoulders of six countrymen of the deceased, and tho distance being something moro than a mile and a half, live antorent parties relieved each other on the way. At the head of the procession was carried a large red flag, hung with black crape, and bearing the inscription, " Republique Democratique et Societe." About 150 Frenchmen followed, their heeds uncovered, and their whole demeanour showing the sincerity of their sorrow. Amongst those who took part in the melancholy ceremony were MM. Ledru Rollin, Schoslchcr, Savoye, Ferrier, Felix Pyat, As trix, Rollaud, Xavier, Denier, Martin, Bernard, and Pfleiger, formerly representatives of the people in France, and several political writers, including Damns cluge, Cakaigne, Naquet, Recherolles, and others, The grave was dug at tue further end of the churchyard, and by the time the corpse, with the procession, arrived at the spot, every part of the burial ground, and the ap proaches to the church, were crowded with spectators. Colonel Seaway, Captain Seymour, Sir John Cathcart, W. Newnham, Esq., and several others of the neigh bouring gentry were present. No burial service was read, but after the coffin had been lowered into the grave, Monsieur Delescluge pronounced the following doge in French :—" Citizens, in the presence of justice this day arrested—in the presence of an instruction commenced —every ono will understand the sentiment of high deli cacy which obliges us to be silent before this grave, around which so many regrets and sympathies aro crowded. The feeling must be indeed imperative which compels us to be silent. What, however, would be the use of breaking that silence? To speak of the cruel loss which democracy has just experienced! Is'not ever true Republican conscience acquainted withCournet? That great heart—that soul so profoundly sympathetic— that daring so heroic in danger, which at the age of nineteen illustrated one of the most brilliant careers in the French navy. What true republican conscience does not know the eminent services which Frederick Cournot has since rendered to democracy, and those which he would have rendered her still ? Yes, Cournet was a great and courageous citizen end the name which he leaves to his eon us his only fortune is one of those which will remain as the symbol of political honesty and of an unlimited devotion to the cause of the people. On his deathbed one thought alone occupied Cournet—the republic and the revolution. Lot us give him, then, the only farewell worthy of him by repeating the last words that fell from his lips—'V ive la Republique, de mocratique of sociale.' " loud cheer from the assem bled mourners then broke in upon the solemnity of the scene, the red flag was faded, and the churchyard f was speedily deserted. The friends of the deceased.. tere r- war ds re-assembled at the Catherine Wheel, which sounded with their ejaculations for another hour or two, and then the red republicans dep arted, as they came, by railway for London. Tun DUKE'S MAGNANIMITY.—An anecdote appo positoly distinctive of the two great warriors of modern times is thus stated :—At the battle of Dresden, Ne poleun perceived a group of distinguished officers ride up to a conspicuous point, wt re they paused, and appeared to be making a reconnoisance, Pointing to the place, he called out to the officer dirocting a battery of artillery close at hand—" Jettz met une douzaine de boulets, la it la fois ! II y a pent, etre quelques petits generaux !" " Throw a dozen bullets yonder all at once. There are perhaps, some little generals among them I" lle was obeyed, and Moreau was killed. At Waterloo, the colonel commanding the British artillery ()Waived to the duke—" I have got the exact range of the spot where Bonaparte and his stuff are standing If your Grace will allow me, I think I can pi c k some of them ofT." "No, no," replied he, " have . something else to do i n a gtoat battle besides firing at each other." THE DUKE ON CHURCH PATRONAGE.—The fol lowing anecdote of the late duke, is both "good" and " true." On a vacancy securing, some years ago,he ihad n a see in Ireland, a c le r i ca l dignitary, who thoug ht peculiar claims on his greeds interest, wrote to him as follows:—" My dear dake.

It is to be the old story over again, " Great cry and little wool." Par liamentary agents have found out that the corruption was, after all, below an average. Some even go so far as to assert that so pure a general election never came under their notice. It would serve a good purpose, if those gentlemen were every one of them summoned before a specially appointed committee of the Ilouse, and required to produce the statements and notes of evi dence as to every case that had been laid before them, and to declare the several considerations upon which they had decided on not proceeding with each particular petition. Some, no doubt, would be found to have been abandoned as a matter of compromise, come because ex posure iu this particular instance would really for the future place the representatives in the hands of the honest, and deprive the agent of his long-held power to put up some one to be plucked at every election; others, becaue it had suddenly become more advantageous to atop the petition than to go on with it ; and a goodly number would be found to have been abandoned because there was no petitioner in the field able to afford such expense as would content a parliamentary agent. It is utterly in vain to say that on investigation the cor ruption turns out to have been small. We may safely appeal from any such assertion to all who took an active part in the contests. It was not the mere excite ment of the moment that spread the report of unex ampled corruption. It was the rare exception that wherever there was a contest unfair means were used, and in those places there are plenty of people to be found who make no secret as to how the election was lost or won. There were rumours on the polling days in several places which have not since died away, but have become corroborated and confirmed; and we are not with out instances in proof, that if the whole number of pe titions he few, tke smallness of the member is not the result of the rareness of corruption, or of any insuper able difficulty as to getting at the facts, but is in many, if not in moat instances, owing to the enormous cost of petitions. As elections are at -present eondueted, a ean didate—even where, in a moderately large constituency, he fights a fair battle—must make up his mind to pay heavily his way to Parliament. It is a road to be passed in any case only by a considerable scattering of gold and silver. A man may have ambition or love of some cause enough at heart to spend the money iu an open contest; but when he is beaten by bought votes, it is another matter to spend as much more as the election cost him in a patriotic effort to unseat the buyer of the seat. The bribery-beaten candidate may reasonably enough consi der that it is the duty of the Parliament to weed itself of its corrupt members, and that the nation or the con stituency, and not the individual, should pay the cost. It is in vain to cry out against corruption, so long as its punishment is guarded against by an enormous fine upon the prosecutor. No petitioner need look to spend less than five hundred pounds, and he may be plucked to the extent of one or two thousand, and then have the satis faction of knowing that the corrupt electors are still in full force, and that ho has no better, if not a worse, chance, of being returned than before. As elections now stand—even in the most flagrant in stances—members are left in the full enjoyment of their purchased honours, and constituencies in undisturbed possession of a national trust, which they syst e matically betray. Those acquainted, for instance, with the myste ries of the management of the franchise at Maidstone, know that when an election is on foot a certain club of voters meet in a private parlcur in a public house to talk over the merits of the candidates—and pipes are smoked, and the weather gone over, and crops discussed, and beer and gin and water tippled—and by and bye, through, it may be, some mysterious 'hole iu the wall, there appears a 5 in chalk on a little black board over the tire-place; the eyes of the company find their way in that direction one after another, heads are sleeken iu dissent, and on goes the drinking, and the smoke thickens, and the conversation becomes political, rind in stead of the 5 appears a 7. No one notes the change; the chances of the candidates are gone into with some zeal; the nominee at the club is no favourite yet; if he be an old member there are no end of complaints against him; he has been a member so many years, and still there's a malt tax, and the hop duty is neither abolished nor changed to an acreage. If a new candidate, he is unknown, and they must be cautious how they take new men. AlO comes out upon the board; faces brighten; there's a long pull at the pipes; every glass•is filled as if by some common impulse, and the chairman gives the health of the candidate, and then, old or new, there are speeches and cheers, his committee named, and his election is safe. The mysterious ten has done it all. It is notorious that at the last election positive evidencst of bribery in the shape of cheques fell into the hands of the opposing party, and led to a compromise, by which one of the Derbyite candidates was withdrawn, and a section of the Liberals and the Tories agreed to a walk over. At the last moment, however, an independent portion of the constituency resolved to resist the compromise—brought forward a man of their own, Mr. Lee, and polled for him, but without success. At the close of the election a petition was very urgently spoken of, but after a time the zeal cooled down. The question began to be asked, what good could come of it ? Mr. Lee might unseat his opponent, but his supporters would, by no fair means, win in the face of the figures over the mantel-piece, and the instructions to shopkeepers and others from the county round. The honest few could not afford amongst themselves to faces a petition. The cost of the petition protects alike the bribers and the bribed. Those who have the money have nothing to gain by its expenditure, and those who have not, though they feel the disgrace of such a representation, have no remedy. Tradesmen in the rootropelis combine to prosecute swindlers, who would escape in numbers, if the charges were to be borne in each instance by an individual. Surely the public are deeply enough inter ested in having an honourably chosen Parliament to raise a fund for the unseating of those who by corrupt influences deprive the honest electors of their voice in the state. Maidstone is far from being a single instance. Colchester, at the last election, went, there is little doubt, knee-deep into its old practices. There is no lack of proof of bribery, and open-housekeeping. Mr. Hard castle was defeated by these practices, and would, in all probability, have petitioned, but the vacancy at Bury St. Edmunds gives him a chance of getting a seat at less cost than by petition at Colchester, and so no one means to pay for exposing the doings of the Chief of the Woods and Forests and his colleague, and their allies of the Eastern Counties Railway. At Bury St, Edmunds a petition was determined upon, and Stuart must have lost his seat. The appointment to the vice-chancellorship, however, leaves the seat open, and no one with sufficient funds has any longer en interest in the exposure of the member. But surely, it a general fund had been subscribed for the purpose, the Vice-Chancellor would have found a petition between him and the Chiltern Hundreds ; and the public would have had an opportunity of ascert ainin g how far his appointment might be considered in the light of a pre ventive to detection. At Rochester enough is known of monies paid, loose votes picked up early on the polling-day, and grumbling over unfulfilled promises of places and payments to unseat both the present members ; but it is so well known that the same corrupt means would be used again, and would return any other men of the same politics, whilst the present Ministry continue in office, that probably the late members would consider i t a mere idle waste of money to petition. But other c onstituencies, earnest and honest, and whose votes are neutralized by those bought and coerced seats for Ro chester should surely be ready to contribute to throwing the borough open to another contest, and so again and again, until it become an ascerteined fact that it is mere money thrown away to attempt to bribe in Rochester. Then there is Ipswich. from which Mr. Adair's vote, for the ballot and reform, is to be neutralised by Mr. Cobbold's thick and thin suppert of Lord Derby, be cause Mr• Hobhouse does not see his way through the expenses, first of a petition, and t hen of another con tested election. And yet no one i n I p swich p retends that Cobbold gained his coat by f a ir means ; unless the power of some thirty publinhouses, morclor less belong ing to his brewery, and t he forces of his bank be fair means. It would be absurd for an individual to pay the double costs of the seat, or chances of the seat for Ips wich ; and it is scarcely to be looked for that the few most active of the Liberals, and on whom falls all the labour of the elections, should tax themselves to so vote ittt f. Th b e y be fo er ul heavy an amo unt. The countr y g en erally has no less bank - b ou g ht the matter ea seat t n Ipswich a ts gained s means against the great mass of the peolm) , and it is their m ashn e o n ipse t n o rdest subscribe for i n t e rest and their d u ty, for th eof tphuer wrongging of d o P n a e r ltihae honestyarmpoaurtthof t he is a constituency case ( ,f anothoef r iP kd, a in iei toking at the return—and with such knowledge as any investigated the matt er, may hay© of the one who has occasion -- t h ere practices plied on the lute is no doubt that Mr. M'Cullagh mi g h t gain the o es of eat by a scrutiny of the votes; but a scrutiny i s o f a ll 13:tr e n la s Z e : they Co unsel procedure against a sit ting member th e most expe willuns sp ele e x n e d rt a their ingenuity in contriving delays; r day, or perhaps more, over the cross-examination of a single witness; they will make long speeches upon a class of points seemingly raised for the purpose, and ending in nothing; and all these days the petitioner is at the cost of keeping witnesses in town, and tending for fresh testi mony. The present system of elections is altogether vicious. The candidate, even where the election is to bo pure, comes forward to pay expenses himself, or else, as in some few instances, his party subscribes, and pays, and so on the face of it he occupies the position of one seek ing a direct advantage for himself, and not the advantage of the electors and the country. If expense be essenti a l to the choice of a representative, it assuredly should be borne not by the candidate, but by the constituency. It is one of the public constitutional acts of the borough or county to chose members of Parliament, and if booths com mittee-rooms engag e d, po ll c l er k s , are to be erected. messengers, 8,4 -employed, the charges should be met by the borough or county, and not by the returned mem bers and beaten , candidates, and so also in the ease of petitions against the return. If there be bribable elec tors in a constituency, it is the interest of the constitu ency to be rid of them, just as it is their interest to be rid of pickpockets or burglars; and the member or c 4 4 ,r dictate should no more be called upon to pay for the s eso, ll ° posure and prosecution of beibers and receivers of bri t han a person who has had his pocket pi c ked to be called I u pon to pay the cost of transporting the pickpocket. If bribery is to be put an end to, there must be an end of levying the cost upon the petitioner. 11661. 11,464 601 211 1,572 816 5,160 9,169 3,055 138 1,091 219 1,011 I 1 41 i,09,..
