SzcRETAIIY—C. B. Johnstone, Esq. The principle upon which this Association is founded, offers in ducements to the public not hitherto contemplated by any other Institution. Instead of the endowed being required to await the lengthened period, when arrival at the stipulated age would entitle them to the Endowment, they v:ill be divided into clang, warding to Out term of years when the endowments are to become payable, and the Association will grant an early payment of the endowment to be determined by allotment at the end of each year to some of the members of each class, (all having an equal chance), remitting to such parties the payment of any future premiums. By this arrangement some of the members must gain the amount for which the endowment has been granted for one year's premium, and again some of them for two years premium, &c. &c. To those who may not obtain these early payments will be secured the amount subscribed for, together with a proportionate share of the profits when the endowed, arrive at the stipulated age. To Shareholders it will be sufficient to observe, that the cha racter of this Association is not speculative. The profits are certain, and its contracts free from those casualties to which Life and other Insurances are necessarily exposed.

For twenty-five years has our peculiar treatment in cases of Nervous Debility proved emi nently successful, and we have hitherto resisted the earnest solicitations of cur patients to publish their cases in a public address : the following, however, has been so urgently pressed upon us by a medical friend, that we have yielded toan importunity sufficiently excusable by the gratitude t evinces : " Dear Sirs—My fondest hopes are realized!

Friday morning, about one o'clock, a most das tArdly and malicious attack was made upon the dwelling-house of one of the proprietors of an extensive spinning mill in Bridgeton. A tremendous volley of stones was thrown against the gentleman's bed-room window, and burst open the shutters, which were fortunately well secured, otherwise the lives of the inmates might have been sacrificed. Three large stones were found in the room, and nearly every pane of glass in the window was shivered to pieces. There can be little doubt that this outrage was perpetrated by the turn-out cot ton-spinners or their emissaries, and if so, the circumstance furnishes sufficient proof that the spirit of intimidation which prevailed among this body of workmen during the strike of 1826 still exists, although the season of the year at this time is not so well adapted for its manifestation. The grievance which these operatives have to complain of is their wages being reduced to about 30s. per week, a sum nearly double the amount received by any other class of workmen in the country. These men have stood out since the Bth of April, rather than accept this handsome remuneration, which amounts to nearly as much in one day as many poor weavers can earn in a week. Glasgow Herald.

Great was her dismay, and ex treme her astonishment, when, on the evening of the day of sale, a majority of the articles came back to the house.

The melancholy consequences which have resulted from the perilous ascent of the late Mr. Cocking in his newly constructed parachute have become already, unfortunately, well known to our readers through the medium of the cus tomary vehicles, the daily journals, and therefore, prior to reverting more immediately to the descent and its lamen table termination, we shall present for their perusal the ac count of the voyage, with which we have been favoured by Mr. Green and Mr. Spencer, the gentleman whom he selected to be his companion on this hazardous occasion. Mr. Green has thus detailed the proceedings : " In consequence of the sad and fatal catastrophe which has befallen the late Mr. Cocking, I feel myself called upon to communicate to the public the whole of the particulars of my ascent with the Vauxhall Balloon, taking up with me Mr. Cocking in his parachute. The inflation com menced about twelve "o'clock, under the able direction of Mr. Hutchinson, the engineer to the London Gas Com pany, and was completed by five o'clock. Prior to the parachute being attached to the balloon, I caused a trial to be made with the view of ascertaining whe ther the buoyancy of the latter was sufficient to carry up the former with safety. The result of this trial was. after some arrangements with respect to the ballast, of which I was compelled to give out about 6501 b. in weight, had been effected, satisfactory: The abandonment of this large quantity of ballast I found to be absolutely requisite, in order with safety to commence the ascent. The balloon was then allowed gently to rise a sufficient height to be conveyed over the parachute ; but in consequence of the great and unavoidable delay which was necessarily caused : about tro a uy u ffi r te. considerablyxi n t t the ei thereupon uo condensed,ponb became machines, camefrom a a ae the m gast reduction in theo f c o f o m r n of compulsion tl r ssmp otent became iae t. I should get r id o f 100 1 b. more o f b allast, wh i ch I empt i ed out of t h e b ags t h roug h a tu b e, constructed of canvas, an d 50 feet in length. The object in having this tube was, that any ballast I might deem it advisable to throw out during our voyage should take such a course as would entirely clear the broadest expanse of the parachute. The Connection between the balloon and the parachute was at length completed, by the rope of the latter being made fast to the liberating iron by which Mr. Cocking was to free himself from the balloon. " It is but justice to myself I should here state, that I had on several occasions expressed my determitation not to liberate the parachute from the balloon, upon the ground, setting aside any other considerations, that I might select a 1 moment for the severance wheu Mr. Cocking was not altogether prepared or ready for his descent, and therefore if any accident were to accrue to him, that I of course should be regarded as the responsible party, and the one to whom blame would naturally attach. " Mr. F. Gye, every thing being in readiness, about 25 minutes to 8 o'clock, gave te signal for the whole of the apparatus to be released from its trammels, and we instantly rose very steadily, taking an easterly course. " Mr. Cocking had always desired that we should ascend to an elevation of 8,000 feet, about one mile and a quareer, at which height he proposed to detach himself from the balloon, and to commence his descent. Finding, therefore, that our upward progress was very slow, I requested Mr. Spencer to discharge some more ballast, and he accordingly threw the contents of a bag weighing 201 b. through the tube already named. This proving of little avail, I directed a second and then a third bagful to be got rid of by the - same means. " At this period we were floating nearly over the Surrey Zoological-gardens, at an elevation of about 2,000 feet. It was at this moment that a portion of the lower end of the ballast-tube became detached, a circumstance which was caused by the occasional swinging to and fro of the para chute. This accident led to the inconvenience which I had foreseen some days before the ascent, and which led to the adoption of the tube, and of that of rendering it ex tremely difficult for us to discharge the ballast without its falling into the parachute. " Our inability to do this as we were then situated I communicated to Mr. Cocking, adding that under the cir cumstances it was impossible for us to rise any higher unless we were to attempt to throw the ballast in bags beyond the outer spread of his machine, a course of procedure which we considered to be attended with much danger to any per. sons who might chance to be beneath, but that we would, if he wished it, make the experiment as soon as we had cleared the houses. Mr. Cocking replied, Very well, it is of no consequence ; if you think I have time to rise as high as I want, and to descend before dark.' I remarked, I think you have ; and you will then also have a more open country for the descent.' We now continued to glide along guided by the pleasure of the wind at nearly the same elevation until we had cleared all the buildings. During this time Mr. Spencer and myself were busily engaged in dividing our ballast into small parcels, so that we might be able to throw them over without injury to the parachute. " As soon as we found that we had arrived over the fields, and presuming that no danger could arise from the falling of the ballast, we quickly began to relieve ourselves of that essential commodity. In doing this our anxiety res pecting any of it lodging in the parachute was much re lieved by finding that that machine continually swung back wards and forwards, evidently occasioned by the operation of the currents through which we passed, so that we were enabled without any difficulty to cast away the bags with out damage to the vehicle immediately below us. We con tinued to discharge ballast until we had lessened our quan tity by 501 b., in addition to that already sent over. The balloon now began to rise, and soon entered a tier of clouds, when we lost sight of the earth. So great, however, was the resistance offered by the parachute to this denser at mosphere that we were again obliged, in order to attain the elevation Mr. Cocking pressed for (that gentleman consi dering that the greater the distance be had to fall, the greater would be the atmospheric pressure under the para.- ' chute, and therefore the easier his descent), to rid ourselves of 4001 b. more ballast, and even then we only arrived at the height of 5,000 feet, which is a trifle less than a mile. " We were still 3,000 feet lower than Mr. Cocking's de sired elevation. " Whilst these operations were going on, Mr. Spencer and myself held a conversation with our appended neigh bour and friend, which was entirely confined to the pro• gross we were making upwards, Mr. Cocking manifesting much anxiety, and wishing to be informed how we were rising, requesting to know when every additional elevation of 500 feet was accomplished. " As soon as we had attained the height of 5,000 feet I told him that it would be impossible for us to get up as high as he desired in sufficient time for him to descend by the light of day. Upon this Mr. Cocking said, Then I shall very soon leave you ; but tell me whereabouts I am.' Mr. Spencer, who had a few minutes before caught a glimpse of the earth, answered, We appear to be on a level with Greenwich.' I then asked him if he felt himself quite comfortable, and whether he found that the practical trial bore out the calculations he had made? Mr. Cocking replied Yes ; I never felt more comfortable or more de lighted in my life.' Shortly afterwards Mr. Cocking said, Well, now I think I shall leave you. I answered, I wish you a very good night and a safe descent, if you are determined to make it, and not to use the tackle.' " I should here observe, that with an anxiety to prevent any accident arising in the event of the violence of the wind rendering it impossible for a descent to be attempted, an apparatus had been constructed under the direction of Mr. F. Gye, to afford us the facility of assisting Mr. Cocking to haul himself up into the car of the balloon, and that this is the tackle to which I thus alluded. Mr. Cocking to this question made no other reply than Good night, Spencer ; good night, Green.' " At this instant I desired Mr. Spencer to take fast hold of the ropes, and like myself to crouch down in the car. In consequence of being compelled to keep hold of the valve line, of course I had but one hand which was available for the purposes of safety. With that hand, fortunately, in the perilous situation into which we were speedily thrown, I was able to maintain my position. " Scarcely were these words uttered before we felt a slight jerk upon the liberating iron, but quickly disco. vered, from not having changed our elevation, that Mr. Cocking had failed in his attempt to free himself. Another but more powerful jerk ensued, and in an instant the bal loon shot upwards with the velocity of a skyrocket. " The effect upon us at this moment is almost beyond description. The immense machine which suspended us between heaven and earth,' whilst it appeared to be forced upwards with terrific violence and rapidity through unknown and untravelled regions, amidst the howlings of a fearful hurricane, rolled about as though revelling in a free dom for which it had long struggled, but of which until that moment it had been kept in absoluto ignorance. It at length, as if somewhat fatigued by its exertions, gra dually assumed the motions of a snake working its way with astonishing speed towards a given object. During this frightful operation, the gas was rushing in torrents from the upp er and lower valves, but more particularly from the latter, as the density of the atmosphere through which we were forcing our progress pressed so heavily on the valve at the top of the balloon as to admit of comparatively but a small escape by that aperture, UNION HOTEL, CLAYTON-SQUARE.

" At this juncture, had it not been for the application to our mouths of two pipes leading into an air bag with which we had furnished ourselves previous to starting, we must within a minute have been suffocated, and so, but by dif- ferent means, have shared the melancholy fate of our friend. " This bag was formed of silk, sufficiently capacious to contain 100 gallons of atmospheric air. Prior to our ascent the bag was inflated, with the assistance of a pair of bellows, with 50 gallons of air, so allowing for any expan sion which might be produced in the upper regions. Into one end of this bag were introduced two flexible tubes, and the moment we felt ourselves to be going up, in the manner just described, Mr. Spencer, as well as myself, placed either of them in our mouths. By this simple contrivance we preserved ourselves from instantaneous suffocation, a result which must have ensued from the apparently endless vo lume of gas with which the car was enveloped. The gas, notwithstanding all our precautions, from the violence of its operation on the human frame, almost immediately de prived us of sight, and we were both, as far as our vi sionary powers were concerned, in a state of total darkness for between four and five minutes. " As soon as we had partially regained the use of our eyes, and had somewhat recovered from the effects of the awful scene into which, from the circumstances, we had been plunged, our first attention was directed to the baro meter. I soon discovered that my powers had not sulli _ _ ciently returned to enable me to see the mercury, but Mr. Spencer found that it stood at . 13-20, giving an elevation of 23,384 feet, or about four miles and a quarter. " I do not conceive, from the length of time I had been liberating the gas, that this was anything like our greatest . . altitude, for we were evidently effecting — a rapid descent. This impression is corroborated by a rough calculation, which leads me to believe, knowing the customary rate at which the gas makes its escape, taken in consideration in conjunction with the length of time I had been pulling the valve-line, that we had lost at least 30,000 feet of gas, or 180,000 gallons, a total of 5,000 feet more than my own balloon will contain. " I may be regarded as somewhat surprising that not a larger quantity had evaporated, especially when the size of the valves are considered, that at the top being nearly three feet in diameter, whilst the one at the neck of the balloon is upwards of two feet. The reason, however, is easily pointed out. The extreme rapidity with which we as cended, coupled with the consequent pressure of the atmo sphere on the upper part of the machine, necessarily pre vented much escape from the top valve. The same cause also forced an extraordinary emission from the opening at the neck, and I am decidedly of opinion, had it not fortui tously happened that the proprietors permitted this latter valve to be increased from 18 to 25 incises in diameter, that the balloon must have burst, and my companion as well as myself been hurled headlong into eternity. " As I hays stated, we wore now rapidly on the descent, having got rid of all the unusual annoyances to which I have referred ; and finding that we were proceeding down wards with the ordinary calmness and steadiness, although with much speed, we hastened to empty two tin vessels of water which we had taken up for the purpose, and to charge them with the atmospheric air through which we were then descending. Our desire was to effect this object at our greatest altitude, but from the circumstances which I have detailed we were unable to accomplish that end, and when the vessels were filled the mercury in the barometer had ascended to 17-50, or an elevation of 16,632 feet, about three miles. " When we had accomplished this matter, finding our selves suffering severely from cold, we referred to the ther mometer, which stood at 28, four degrees below the freezing point. " We were at this period apparently about two miles and a-half above a Lose mountain of clouds, which presented the appearance of impenetrable masses of dark marble, whilst all aroun 1 us was shed the brilliant rays of the setting sun. We continued to descend with great rapidity, and as we approached the clouds that velocity considerably in- creased. At this time so large had been our loss of gas that the balloo i, instead of presenting to our sight its customary rotun I and widely-expanded form, now merely looked like a comparatively small parachute, or half dome, without any ape, ture in its centre. We had parted with at least one-third of our gas, and were as far beneath the balloon itself as 50 or 60 feet. " Recollecting the late hour at which we quitted Vaux hall, I now began to be anxious about the time, on ap plying to Mr. Spencer, ascertained that it wanted not more than a quarter to nine o'clock. From this I was aware, notwithstanding in our then position we were blessed with a magnificent light, that on emerging below from the clouds darkness would have assumed her sable hue over the earth, and that we should have much difficulty, therefore, in ascertaining the nature and character of the country, supposing us'to be over the land, on which we must effect our final descent. I, consequently, became extremely anxious to make our way through the clouds as quickly as possible, which having done we proceeded, until we had reached within three hundred feet of the ground, when we found it requisite, from our inability to ascertain the na ture of the ground, the whole country beneath us offering the appearance of thick woods, to cast out every article of ballast and moveable matters, even to ropes and empty ballast-bags, in order to prevent us from coming in contact with what was supposed to be trees. After calling out for some time, and hanging out the grapnel, we heard voices in reply, and the parties speedily drew us to a safe place of landing, which proved to be close to the village of Off ham, near Town Mailing, seven miles west of Maidstone, and twenty-eight from London. " The balloon was packed, and conveyed in a cart to Town Mailing, where we were most hospitably treated and provided with beds by the Rev. Mr. Money, who, singular to relate, informed me that he is the son of Major Money, the aeronaut, who, on the 23d of July, 1785, ascended from Norwich, and fell into the sea 20 miles off Lowestoff. "At half-past ten o'clock this morning we quitted Town Mailing, and it was not until our arrival at Wrotham, at which place I inquired whether they had heard where Mr. Cocking had descended, that I became acquainted with the unexpected and melancholy result of his experiment. " I trust it is needless for me to say, how deeply the feelings of Mr. Spencer and myself were harrowed up by the sad intelligence thus conveyed to us. " It is only due to the late Mr. Cocking I should add, that throughout the whole of our voyage, up to the mo ment when he released himself from the balloon, lie dis played the greatest courage and fortitude, and the expres sion of his features, and the light and joyous, although earnest way, in which he made his inquiries and conversed with us, manifested his great satisfaction that at length a theory to which he had devoted the last 25 years of his life was about to be triumphantly put to the test. " We were up about out one hour and twenty minutes. " Individually my opinion was, that having withstood the difficulties and severe pressure of the atmosphere in its ascent, Mr. Cocking's parachute would accomplish its descent with perfect safety." Having disposed of the valuable statement of Mr. Green, we now proceed to a brief account of circumstances con nected more immediately with the unfortunate victim. Our reporter yesterday went down to Lee, where he ex perienced as much difficulty in arriving at precise facts as he would have met with in the streets of the metropolis. Every person had seen the accident, and every one had his own tale, each differing in some essential point from the statement which had just preceded it. Such being the case, we shall abstain from entering into any further minute detail of the descent beyond that which appeared in our columns of yesterday, which would seem, in most respects, to be correct. As far however, as valid evidence can be given upon the subject, we presume it will be offered before the coroner who has summoned the jury for to-morrow. It is distinctly admitted on all hands, that not the slightest blame or imputation can in any way rest upon either the proprietors of the gardens or Mr. Green. When Mr. Cocking, who by profession we understand was an artist and a man deeply practised in scientific mat ters, and, by the by, about 60 years of age, made the pro posal to the Messrs. Gye to come down in a parachute, be produced calculations, which he said, and we believe with truth, had received the sanction of several highly scientific gentlemen, demonstrating that such an e xperiment would be attended with success. A careful examination of these calculations corroborated the statement, and directions were given that every order Mr. Cocking gave with a view to the prfect construction of the machine should be instantly acted upon. Accordingly many hands, male as well as female, have been hard at work for some weeks. Various alterations at the suggestions of Mr. F. Gye and p ud e l ds the have were been c proprietors c n u m eo b n r s o ot u rf other scientific friends were made, during the pr,,zress of i c n o a c u k u i f n a g c , t s u c re ry , u,%'vit„hs,a,rDier,o'nt,to let t s i n n l c e re: a s ‘ e ,e d i s t tre so ng i t l l e i a , ‘ b;; Mr. and even at almost the last moment he expressed himself as constructed o f gardens m a t e w r i c a r l e s most anxious that the tin tube circle at the explnsion of fearful lest the ropes tbe M p r a . ra F c : hu G tC e sl a io n similar to thole of which the hoop to the grand balloon is } om , Mr. Cocking was resolute in: his objt on the ground that it would be too heavy. During the progress of affixing the parachute to the loon, Mr. Green repeatedly refused to allow the she_ alteration to be made in the position of a cord, unless by the especial direction of Mr. Cocking. Indeed, as we Lye al ready said, we cannot discover any reason for casting blame either on the proprietors or Mr. Green. It is evident from the marks in the basket in which Mr. Cocking stood, that he must have remained in it until he reached the earth. This conviction is also borne out by the injuries apparent on the body of the deceased. The whole of the ribs appear to be broken or displaced ; in addition to the cut over the right eye, and the dislocation of the ancle, the whole of the skin around the neck is likewise exceed ingly discoloured, as though the effect of a heavy fall. When his friends went into the room in which the body was lying, it was with difficulty that the features could be recognized, although they did not display any distinct hurt, except that above the eye. We regret to say that the landlord of the inn at which the body lies was guilty of a violation of the ordinary forms of decency, by admitting the public to view the remains of the unfortunate gentleman, as well as the parachute, at Gd. a head, and that when he was remonstrated with by Messrs. Gye, he defied them to prevent his doing as he pleased in his own house. One consequence of this course of conduct has been, that many parts of the parachute have bean taken away by the curious, so that it will offer but very imperfect evidence to the jury. Ultimately an order was procured from a magistrate to restrain a continuance of this conduct. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. HOME CIRG'UIT.—M4IDSTONE, JULY 25.

Elizabeth Drumwell, the wife of the prisoner, had been married four years to the prisoner, who had always been a good husband, and to whom she had borne two children, one of whom was not more than seven months old. The prisoner, it seems, brought in as usual, on the 19 of June last, a pot of beer for supper, which he gave to her. She spoke of the strength of her affection for the prisoner (her husband), of whose conduct she never had hitherto had rea son to complain. Mr. GUNNING addressed the jury for the prisoner, who acquitted him. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE. An ill-looking Irish lad, named Dri:scoll alias Crocky,was brought before the Loa') MAYOR, charged with having tempted poor errand-boys and others to gamble. A gentleman who resides in the neighbourhood in which the prisoner is in the habit of exercising his double vocation of holding horses and tossing for half-pence stated, that on Sunday last Crocky got hold of a couple of little boys, and engaged them in play near the Church. Witness immedi ately gave the prisoner into custody, and learned that the fellow had been but a few days discharged from Bridew•ell, to which he had been consigned for having initiated some children in the mysteries of pitch and toss, and other gambling abominations. Several of the police said that the prisoner's custom was to s:nd little horseholdera (a gang of whom he headed) to beg in the fine weather. From each of those he received a commission, and he afterwards won their money, so that . • he was looked upon as likely to be able to remove with ad vantage to the West-end one of these days. Already he had qualified himself by incessant practice for the most flourishing dens of that quarter of the metropolis, and it was believed that his taste was so decidedly fitted for the pastime of "the Hells," that he would be shortly found emerging from his obscurity in the City into the cha racter of patron of the art, in the most favourite place of its abode. The LORD MAYOR—I have committed this boy myself For the offence of teaching children to gamble. I see he is incorrigible. Prisoner—l never was locked up for picking po.:1 ets, cr any dirty thing of the kind. The LORD MAYOR—You have been guilty of a w. , 13 , great offence in misleading poor children. Prisoner—lt's a plan agin me. These officers puts their heads together, and it's easy to say a body gambles. They're sure, if they find a halfpenny about me, to say I Ila , e been tossing it. A body would think that wherever I go the coppers begin to dance about ; and I'm ble:t if they arn't as quiet in my pocket as if they was fast asleep. Its a shame to harass a poor boy this way. The LORD MAYOR—I have forgiven, and I have com mitted you ; but neither mildness nor severity will do. Prisoner—Let me cut now, and upon my soul you shan't set eyes on me again. The LORD MAYOR—No, you must go to Bridewell. Prisoner—You aria a going to poke me into that 'ere quod, are you ? if you'll let me bolt, I'll go over to St. James's, 'pon my conscience. If I was obliged to take a house there, I'm blest if I don't caper out of this. Mr. HOLLER—He has promised repeatedly, and lie is one of the worst we have on this side of Temple-bar. Prisoner—But I'll go to the other side, and I'm bles't if they can say that of 1112 there. The LORD MAYOR—WeII, you can go there as soon as you come out of Bridew•ell ;. you are too clever for us, and I must try what a couple of months at the mill will do for you. Prisoner—Ay, that's the way ; I never know'd one of you as would ax a fellow that did wrong to eat a belly full, and take a glass of grog ; no, no, it's the mill with you all. Why don't you try a little kindness, if it's only a pint of beer and a cigar ? Crocky was then committed to the tread-mill. Yesterday afternoon a decently-dressed woman was observed walking backwards and forwards by the river side, at Chelsea, in such a confused way as to excite suspicion that she had some design upon her own life. At length tee jumped in and sunk. A lad, named Elliott, son of a coal merchant in Westminster, who beheld the act, immediately came up, took off his coat and waistcoat, and fearlessly sprung into the water to rescue her. After considerable difficulty be succeeded in getting the body to the shore, where it was laid, exhausted and insens►ble, on the bank, till some persons were procured, who carried it to a neighbouring public-house, where animation re►urned. By the kind persuasions of several per sons she consented to return home ; but would not tell wily she attempted the crime of self murder. Yesterday afternoon the Dart, a Gravesend boat, was prooceding up the river ; just off Limehouse Reach she came in .;ontact with the Nile, a Greenwich boat. The con cussion was so great that the whole of the starboard paddle ' box, together with machinery, was completely carried away, and the vessel rendered a mere wreck. Fortunately the Gipsy, another Greenwich boat, was close in the wake of the Nile when the concussion took place. The passengers of the latter were, therefore, transferred to ber, and the Gipsy landed them, more frightened than hurt, within ten minutes over the usual time. It is impossible to say to whom the blame attaches. CONDITION OF THE TARTAR WOMEN:A Tartar woman, from too early marriage, close confinement in youth, and, when married, from hard labour—for she must never think of repose when her lord commands—soon loses the bloom of youth, becoming a complete hag in appearance at the age of 30. 11cr fate, indeed, is little to be envied ; she is not allowed to sit at the - table of her husband, driven about with as little cerenicny as if she were a dog ; and in Paradise ( Dgehennet), though, according to the Koran, perpetually young and beautiful, yet even there she must nut expect any higher occupation than still to wait upon man. When her lord dies, though he is translated to Paradise, and amusing himself with his ever blooming houris, yet she must mourn his loss, by howling and lamentation, for months.—Spencer's Travels in Circassia. SIR ROBERT PEEL ' S HEALTH.-The London papers delicately alluded, during the past week, to the state of the Right Hon. Baronet's health. Yesterday it was currently reported in Liverpool, and, apparently, on very good autho rity, that he had been given up by his medical attendants. His disorder was at first supposed to be sciatica, a rheumatic affection of the hip-joint, and he went to Buxton. There his complaint came on with great violence, and proved to be a lumbar abscess, for which, it is said, he has been operated on, and which will either suddenly or gradually, but certainly, be fatsl to him. Medical men agree that, lif he has this com plaint upon mm, he never can again enter upon Parliamentary duties. We give the report as we received it, and have good reason for believing that it is too true.—Licerpool Albion.
