MANCHESTER PRODUCE MARKET, AUG. 21.—The inquiry for sugar this week has bean almost exclusively confined to good white Bergal, and foreign West Indias: of these, however, none is offering at present, but a parcel of the forint r is daily looked for, and a cargo of Porto Rico expected next month. Some small lots of Barbadoes have been sold at the previous value. Demand for refined goods is restricted to the lower qualities. Nothing worthy of notice has occurred in the silk market this week. Cotton is only in moderate request, and the transac tions are confined to small parcels. The slight improvement in the goods market which we noticed on Tuesday last, has continued to the present time; and a fair amount of business has been done, but without.any advance in prices. The yarn market con tinues very quiet.—Mcinchester Guardian. BRADFORD, THURSDAY, AUGUST 10.—Wool—There is a full average business doing in most kinds of combing wools ; and as the farmers show no disposition to give way in price, the staplers are compelled to hold firm for recent prices, which are generally submitted to. Yarns —The demand for worsted yarns continues steadily to improve, and notices are generally given to the power loom houses who buy for monthly delivery, for an ad vance in September, which will, in most cases, be given. The shippers are doing a fair business, and the trade, on the whole, so far as demand, is healthy, but the prices not remunerating. Pieces—We cannot learn any alte ration in the piece market, either as regards price or de mand. The old stocks are fast moving off, auguring well for good employment through the winter.— Bradford Observer. NOTTINGHAM, THURSDAY, AUG. 20. , --There are but small stocks on hand, either of finished or rough lace goods. The demand is slowly but satisfactorily in creasing ; and by cautiously supplying the market with suitable articles, the makers have again the chance of working their machinery to some profit. It is quite certain that all heavy goods cannot be made without an increase in prime cost, an advance of 2d. per lb. having been established upon the prices of all yarns from No. 80 to No. 100. These numbers are likely to go higher still. On the whole, our prospects seem to improve. The best lace goods were never more uni versally worn that at the present time.—Nottingham Mercury. • LEICESTER, THURSDAY, AUG. 20.—The demand still continues good for both regular hosiery and fancy goods. We hare no alteration to report in either wools or yarns. Leicester Journal. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. (RECEIVED THIS DAY.) PAISLEY RACES.-FRIDAY.

On Saturday last the public parks in the neighbourhood of Manchester, which have been purchased by voluntary subscription, and are devoted to the free and uncontrolled re creation and amusement of the working community in that densely-populated district, were inaugurated and thrown open with great ceremony and display of rejoicing. The day having been pretty generally observed as a holiday by the manufacturers and principal merchants of the town and neighbourhood, vast bodies of working men and clerks were enabled to attend, and when at eleven o'clock the municipal authorities started from the Town-hall in a gay procession of equipages, the multitude of pedestrians who prepared to accompany them was almost beyond cal culation. Various bands of music, military and amateur, contributed to enliven the scene, and from almost every window and balcony on the route of procession there floated gay and variegated banners, bearing devices and inscrip tions appropriate to the occasion. It may here be men tioned that the parks have been severally named the Queen's Park, the Peel Park, and the Phillips' Park (the latter in honour of Mr. Mark Phillips, one of the representatives of the borough of Manchester). As a matter of convenience, it was resolved to open the Peel Park first, the grounds lying within the jurisdiction of the borough of Salford, the trustee ship having to be transferred to that body from the corpora tion of Manchester. The procession having reached the Town-hall of Salford was joined by John Kay, Esq., the mayor, and the members of the Council in nine carriages. In a short time the cortege arrived at Lark-hill, the site of the Peel Park, which is about a mile and a half from the Manchester Exchange. The day being fine, the park (which is thirty-two acres in extent, and laid out in lawns, walks, and parterres, with archery-ground and gymnasium) looked exceedingly picturesque and attrac tive, an effect which is not diminished by a fine view of the river Irwell. Here, as in the other parks, everything that can tend to promote rational recreation and manly and iathletic exercise has been furnished in the most tasteful and convenient manner, whilst handsome and com modious refreshment rooms proclaim an assurance that some more stimulating beverage may be had than that contained in the stone basins wh ere i ron l a dl es, fastened to the wall, are somewhat ostensibly displayed. It was expected that Lord Ellesmere would have performed the ceremony of bap tism for the Peel Park, but his Lordship was unavoidably absent, and the duty devolved on the Mayor of Manchester (W. B. Watkins, Esq.), who addressed the assemblage in brief but appropriate terms on the gratifying spectacle before them. He said that no fewer than 5,000 working persons had contributed to the Park-fund, and the manner in which they had been backed by their wealthy neighbours gave a practical refutation to the statement, that the ing and mercantile classes of the kingdom were actuated solely by a desire to accumulate wealth, without caring for the sufferings or enjoyments of their poorer neighbours. The worthy magistrate then formally declared a transfer of the property to the Salford Corporation, and having chris tened the grounds by the name of the Peel Park, they were declareclio be open henceforth and for ever free to the public. The announcement was received with loud huzzas by the multitude, amid the firing of cannon and the braying of trumpets, which made it almost deafening. Amongst the gentlemen surrounding the Mayor at the moment of in auguration, we observed Mark Phillips, Esq., M.P. ; W. Entwisle, Esq., M.P. ; P. A. Slaney, Esq, late M.P. for Shrewsbury (one of the first promoters of the park scheme); Stephen Blair, Esq., Mayor of Bolton ; John Meller, Esq., Mayor of Ashton-under-Lyne ; P. Marsland, Esq„ Mayor of Stockport; and the chairman and various members of the Parks' Committee. A considerable portion of the multitude having dispersed in search of amusement, the procession was enabled to retrace its steps, and passing slowly through the thronged streets, ultimately made its way over the Victoria-bridge, and pro ceeded towards the Queen's Park at Harpurhey (formerly the Hendham-hall estate), about two miles distant to the eastward from the Manchester Exchange, on the Rochdale road. Here a ceremony similar to that at the Peel Park was performed by Mr. Mark Phillips, who addressed the multitude at considerable length on the importance of the occasion they had met to celebrate, and urging them to still further exertions. This park is about the same size as the Peel Park, and is laid out in a similar style. The name of the Phillips' Park, which is situated at Bradford, about a mile and a half from Manchester, was given to it by Mr. Entwisle, M.P., who indulged in a warm eulogium on Mr. Phillips, fur the manner in which he had performed his Par liamentary duties. The firing of cannon, and cheering and music, having subsided, Mr. PIIILLIPS expressed his acknowledgments for the high honour that had been done to himself and family by calling the park after his name. As Mr. Entwisle had referred to his retirement from the representation of Manchester, he begged to say that be found it impossible to continue his Parliamentary labours without injury to his health. There was no cricket•ground or skittle-alley, or other gymnasia, connected with the House of Commons ; and every man who bad attended to his duties found that his health must ulti mately give way. The proceedings then terminated, and the procession re turned to Manchester at five o'clock, where an elegant and substantial repast awaited the invited guests at the Town hall. This entertainment was ordered for three o'clock; but it was impossible for the authorities to expedite the business in less time than it occupied. RAILWAY DUTY.

Although Mr. Baron Platt, in passing the awful sentence of death on the wretched man Smith, said that he could hold n o l u a t n n s o id h n o e p 3 e . s of and i t n h e e rc s y on this i a s si red de the eterm g in r e a d ve t , o y u e s t e M e r v . e A ry lder- ex ertion in their power to obtain a commutation of the sentence, by getting it reduced to that of tra nsportat i on, and a petition is already in circulation for signatures for the same purpose, to be presented to the Secretary of State, as the medium by which the royal mercy can be extended. The wretched man, as far as he is concerned, is fully prepared for the worst, and, in fact, from the time he delivered himself up down to the present, he has entertained n o h ope of having his life spared. This feeling has been so deeply impressed on his mind, that it may be said to amount to that of fatalism. One cause of this morbid feeling arises from the divination of a dealer in the occult sciences; for while he was in Giltspur street Compter, be wrote a letter to the Governor, in which he stated, that when a boy of five years of age, his parents had his horoscope cast, and they were informed that he would come to an untimely and disgraceful death ; that this prediction was always uppermost in his impression and by no mode of reasoning could he remove this deep-rooted from his mind. When he was taken from the Compter for re examination on Tuesday last, he then stated to the officer who removed him that he hoped that that examination would be his last, for he was fully prepared to meet his fate, which was inevitable; that he deeply and sincerely regretted what had occurred, but it could not be avoided. When he was taken to Newgate, Mr. Sheriff Sydney hap 'pened to be there, and was in conversation with the chaplain. The worthy and humane Alderman instantly entered into conversation with Smith, by asking him if he had taken any steps towards his defence, and whether he had caused any gentleman of the bar to defend him. He replied that he had not, for he was quite prepared for the worst, and that he intended to plead guilty; that he had not the re motest intention a minute before he committed the dreadful act to take the lifeof the deceased, but during the absence of the little girl Ann Wetenhall the deceased made use of some violent expressions, and jumped up from the chair in which she had been sitting, holding the knife which she had in her hand in a menacing attitude, when he unfortunately having his cook's knife in his hand, and being goaded, as it were, to madness by her reproaches, rushed on her and wounded her in the neck, and under the fatal impulse of the moment, and in a paroxysm of rage, he forced her head back and inflicted the deadly wound. She then staggered towards the door. As soon as he observed what he had done he was horror stricken. The worthy Al derman remarked, that if such was the case, there were ex tenuating circumstances,. and advised him to obtain profes sional aid. Smith, however refused to do so, and the Sheriffs, therefore, directed Mr. Clarkson to defend the wretched man. That the dreadful act was the result of a sudden impulse there can be no doubt, for his fellow-servants on the trial spoke to his general good temper, and Mr. In spector Woodpffe in his cross• examination said, he had known the prisoner for ten years, and he was the very last man he should . have thought would commit such an act. Whe he nhe was being brought up f rom t h e gaol for trial he said was aware of the result—that he was satisfied that the jury would find him guilty. When he was reconducted back to the prison after the awful and dreadful sentence of death had been passed, he merely said that he was glad that it was over, for he kne w t h ere was no hope for him. Since he has been in Newgate h e h as b een several times visited by his unfortunate wife, who h as a d m i n i stered as far as she could to his wants and comforts. The result of the trial, it is understood, has had The most fearful effects on her, being as it were now left destitute with four young children de pending upon her. Should the Sheriffs and those who are exerting themselves to save the life of the wretched man, fail in obtaining the royal clemency, his execution will take place within a month, the Sheriffs having the power to suspend the carrying of the sentence into effect for that time.

The Gazette de Tribu naux g i ves the following details of the murder i n the Rue Montmatre, the main facts of which have already appeared in the Messenger :—" Relatisns of business, which led at length to personal intimacy, had existed between M. Lejeune and M. Jay, the latter of whom has made his name well known by his mechanism, called Jayotype,' for which he has taken out several patents. M. Lejeune, who is a master tailor, is a remarkably good-look ing man, about 28 years old. As to M. Jay he was turned of 40, and rather ill than good-looking. M. Lejeune, how ever, whose wife is young and pretty, had conceived a jealousy of M. Jay. His suspicions, which were at first vague, had latterly become more fixed, and to such an ex tent was his mind affected, that after having broken off all relations with M. Jay, he is said to have informed the com missary of police of the quarter, that if he should ever find M. Jay alone with his wife, he would proceed to the last ex tremities. Things were in this state when, on Tuesday morning, M. Lejeune told his wife that he had received a pressing order, which compelled him to set out immediately for Rouen, and at about four in the afternoon he proposed that his wife should accompany him as far as the railroad station, in the Rue St. Lazare. She did so, and did not leave him until she had seen him take his seat in the train. This pretended departure, however, was only a feint, which has been practised by a thousand husbands, and which un fortunately is almost always successful. Lejeune had no sooner arrived at the first station of Asnieres, than he left the Rouen train and returned to Paris by one from Versailles. He proceeded to the Rue Neuve Vivienne, and placed him self in a position to watch the shop of M. Jay. We are in formed that whilst he was there watching, he saw a letter delivered to M. Jay, which he concluded was from Madame Lejeune. About nine o'clock in the evening M. ni la ettl hour. He pro- Jay, whose wife and children are in th e country, left his , which indicated o Lejeune, and thatsc la ee o d p e ,in ti.o d y gavetuhlwould n Ro i instructions i c uo t r i nn o t n mu a t tr? rheais verysho p followed by M. Jay having entered the house where M a d ame Lejeune was, the husband after waiting some t ime went in also, and by means of a second key . which he carried p enetrated into his room, and saw the guilty parties in bed, with a night light burning near them. At this sight L e j eune lost all control over himeelf, and taking a pistol from his pocket attacked Monsieur Jay in th e b reast tired at M. Jay, but his hand being agitated hi s victim was untouched. He then drew forth a co u t eau poignard, which he was in the habit of carrying in th e p oc k et f in his sl ee p, cou ld offer no resistance, and expired after utteri ng a few words As to Mdme. Lejeune, she was more dead th an a li ve, and severalo his p t a i m l e t e o s t . , Monsieur and could rather imagine than see the scene that was passing. When the unfortunate Jay was dead, Lejeune, who bad in some degree recovered from his fur y, Went d own s t a i rs an d said to the porter of the house, ~ I have j us t ki lled my wife ' s lover; go and tell the Commissary of Police and the Procu reur du Roi that lam waiting for them." Th e p or t er wen t instantly to the office of the commissary, M. Couesna, in the Marche St. Joseph, exactly opposite the house in which this dreadful affair had taken place. When the commissary ar rived, Lejeune surrendered himself, and said he was ready to answer for what he had done. The co mm i ssary placed a guard over him during the night, and on the following morning sent him to the Perfecture of Police. In the course of the day, the Procureur du Roi had Lejeune brought to the house and confronted with the dead body. lie repeated his former declaration with much calmness, and w as th en taken to the prison of the Conciergerie." The Gazette des Tribunaux states that Madame Lejeune has not been arrested, but is gone to reside with her family. Lejeune, alluded to above, appeared y esterday before the Court of Assizes of the Seine as witness in a case of robbery. He had been brought under guard from the Conciergerie to give his evidence, which amounted to nothing. He is a man of small stature, pale, and with fair hair. His appear ance is that of a German, and he speaks with a foreign accent. He did not appear much cast down by the position in which he is placed. WOOLVICH DOCKYARD.— It is stated that Captain Stewart, R.N. (now acting pro tern.), is to be the permanent. Captain Superintendent of her Majesty's dockyard, and that Sir Francis Collier, C. 8., will be appointed one of the junior Lords of the Admiralty. LITERATURE. -- - inflicting the slighest pain ? If you do not, you ought. It is still shame ! shame ! To turn from the aggregate and individualities of professional pride, insincerity, and recklessness, let us call to this invaluable periodical the prompt attention of the public (who are the most inte rested in the question of pain or no pain), and of so much of the medical profession as prefers the honest and useful exercise of their art to a spurious re putation for the profound knowledge of it ;—besides ac counts of operations effected without pain, and with in variable success as to the result, at Cherbourg, in Ame rica, the West Indies, England, and Ireland, all authen ticated upon unquestionable evidence *—that of public functionaries, professional men of high standing, and others—the cases communicated by Dr. Esdaile, of Hooghly (East Indies), the head of the Government medical establishments in that place, will be found to place the happy efficacy of mesmerism, in this respect, entirely and for ever beyond doubt. The cases are very curious, and they are (with the exception of some inter posed atrocities on the part of two sceptics) as gratifying, we should say delightful, as they are curious. Dr. Es daile had never seen anything of mesmerism, when a native patient in the hospital gaol, being in great suffer ing, was brought to him, and he thought the case was one in which he might give mesmerism a trial. We have not space for the detail ; but the experiment was suc cessful. During the operation, usually attended with excruciating pain, the man was motionless as a corpse. When his wounds were dressed, and he was roused from the mesmeric trance, he declared that he was wholly unconscious of all that had been done, and knew only that' by some means his tumour (of 401bs. weight) was gone. Subsequently Dr. Esdaile, having from this moment persevered, without failure in a single case, removed a number of similar (scrotal) tumours, of weights varying from 81bs. to 801bs. In these cases, which are more commonly fatal than otherwise, the wounds healed, by what is called the " first intention," and the recovery was rapid. Up to the last report, published in this volume, from Dr. Esdaile, upwards of a hundred operations, amputations, &c., were performed by himself or his assistants, in the Government Hospital, in the ' presence of the authorities and most respectable resi dents of Hooghly, whose solemn testimony is likewise published. In one case, to gratify Dr. Bedford, who wished to ascertain whether the patients were not natu rally insensible to pain, a poor creature was subjected to cruel tests, which we shrink from relating. It is im portant to observe, that in all these cases, as well as in the French, American, and British cases, recorded in these pages of the Zoist, cure followed the operations. It is by no means uncommon to see recorded the fact that " Mr. So-and-so, of such and such an hospital, performed the most difficult operation with his usual skill, and to the admiration of all present. The patient suffered se verely, but is, doing well." Such flattering and gratify ing report is not at all unfrequently followed next day by another to the effect that—" We regret to say, that notwithstanding the favourable symptoms, which at first appeared, the patient gradually sank, and ex pired at, &c. &c." But it was asserted by a high authority, and cheered, at the Medical and Chirurgical Society, that the suffering of pain during operations, " is, according to the intentions of nature, that it would be wrong to prevent it, and that it does them goad." (H) It is a fact that a Dr. C. said so, speaking in the character of an infallible authority, against mesmerises, which prevents pain. Is it not, however, probable, if even the facts did not prove it, that an operation which is unattended with pain or irritation is less likely to be followed by fatal inflam mation than one which was inflicted with torture, and immediately succeeded by a total prostration of the vital powers? Nor is it in respect to operations only that the Zoist establishes, upon incontrovertible facts, the efficacy of mesmerism, but, in respect to numerous acute and chronic diseases, the rationale of the cure being clearly enough explained in the reports. For these the publi cation must now be left to speak for itself. The truths which it announces are before the world, and must make their way. Patients will not much longer submit to needless torture ; and operations without previous mes merism, will become as obsolete as the application of red hot iron to a bleeding stump, notwithstanding the wise and pious maxim that pain is ordained by Provi deuce, is salutary, and ought not to be prevented. PVEW QUARTERLY REVIEW, No. XV. There is an ambitious character about this publication which cannot fail to elicit very considerable talent, and to arouse no inconsiderable interest. If we felt inclined to pronounce any wholesale condemnation upon the pre sent number, it would simply be for a blemish arising out of an advantageous quality, namely, for discursive ness. In regard to variety of materials, there is, indeed, anything but a deficiency ; but, from that very circum stance, there is, too generally we conceive, a lack of solidity in the contributions. From their brevity and multiplicity, the reviews bear too frequently the appear ance of superficial smartness than of astute and search ing analysis. This, however, is not applicable to every individual article ; on the contrary, some might be par ticularised for their penetrant and philosophical acumen. One pecularity in this periodical we must, nevertheless, specify forthwith, inasmuch as it might be so readily rectified, and constitutes such an intolerable deformity. We allude to the extraordinary indifference to the orthography of names and places ; whether arising from the deceptive memory or execrable penmanship of the reviewers, or the egregious carelessness of the composi tors, it is impossible to conjecture. "Don Juan" contains an adroit sarcasm at military glory, where it condenses it into a wooden leg, or having " one's name mis spelt in the Gazette." Byron overlooked th e evan escence of literary glory in the same blundering of a critic—though, true enough, the New Quarterly was not then in existence. In speaking thus we are not battling with a shadow ; the flaws and errors of this description obtrude themselves upon our attention from many of the pages now lying before us. We will not, however, con tent ourselves with simply entering a protest ; we will substantiate our accusation by very credible witnesses. For example : in a paper entitled " Melville's Residence in the Marquesas" the writer calls Nukuheva, Mahahcra ; he blunders taboo into tafoo ; Marheyo into Marhego ; Fayaway into Fazawaz ; and the rest in like manner. Such sins of commission are absolutely without the slightest palliation ; they are the very converse of the precision of those asetic caligraphers to whose punctitious exactitude in orthography, we are indebted for the preservation of many of the most important his torical facts, and thousands of th e mos t prec i ous poet i cal beauties of the ancient historians and poets. Subordinate as this failing may be, it is entirely divested of excuse, and requires the most scrupulous avoidance. According to our view, the examination of " Prichard's Physical History of Man" is the most meritorious and valuable article in the present number. It condenses the pith of that very extraordinary work into an agreeable and readable compass; it occasionally does justice to its learned and most industrious author, but occasionally also casts a flippant derision upon theories which have been generated by many years of arduous me ditation. In the astonishing scope of his sub ject -- in multifarious accomplishments --in scho lastic and scientific erudition--in rigidity of judg ment and fecundity of imagination, the mind of Dr. James Cowles Prichard bears some affinity to that of the renowned Liebnitz. The extent to which this one work upon the physical history of mankind has swelled, and the astonishing fund of learning which it has plun dered from all preceding writers, cannot but remind the readers of Liebnitz of the disquisitions, and essays, and histories, and memorials, issued by that wonderful genius. in these particulars, but in these particulars alone, do we feel ourselves justified in hinting at an analogy between minds otherwise so eminently dissimi lar. Liebnitz was an universal genius; his capacities ap peared to be exhaustless; no one could, or can conjecture, the profundity or strength of his intellect. Dr. Prichard, on the contrary, has presented us with the gauge of his own mind in his researches upon the physical history of mankind. We know precisely its depth, and it is not shallow; we perceive precisely its hue, and it is not de ficient in lustre; we feel precisely its force, and it is not feeble. Whether the whole human race—the black negro, the tawny Arab, the fairest of the northern na • tior.s, the red Indians, the dun Laplanders —are all the offspring of one common stock, is one of those startling questions which can never fail to excite the inquiries of the thoughtful. That question is to be answered either by reference to revelation or by appealing to the judgment by an array of facts and arguments logically placed. Dr. Prichard has evidently acquiesced in the scriptural intimation that the human family has sprung solely from Adam and Eve; and not only that those are our exclusive progenitors, but that the descendants of Noah alone survive on the face of the globe. Never theless, Dr. Prichard has not contented himself with that very indolent mode of settling the matter: he has argued the question as one of the problems of natural and moral history, of psychology, of anatomy, of geo graphy, ethnography, and physiology. To elucidate its merits he has devoted to it 37 years of his valuable life, and still the matter remains incomplete. The arch still lacks its keystone. May Dr. Prichard live to con sumate his very remarkable and protracted exertions The dissertation on the " Odes of llorace"—those ara besques of poetry !—is a charming and scholarly paper. Some of the latter pages seem powdered with the dia monds, and emeralds, and pearls of literature, in the shape of quotations. Of a geographical character, we are treated with articles upon " Stokes' Discoveries in Australia," " Overland Route from India," "Expedition to Borneo," &c. ; of romances we are granted a flavour" in notices of Miss Pardoe's last novel, of" Emilia Wynd ham," and of Niccolo de' Lapi. With other interesting papers the New Quarterly is singularly attractive. LETTERS FROM MADRAS. By a Lady. Murray's Home and Colonial Library. No. XXXV. A volume of this delightful series is equivalent to an excursion in a steamer. It carries its reader in imagina tion to the most distant and beautiful quarters of the world; it does so with the utmost rapidity; and it con veys to his mind all the most striking characteristics of those countries—their scenery, their inhabitants, their customs, their amusements, their religious ceremonies— as vividly as the most faithful memory and the most picturesque pen can delineate them. With a number of the " Home and Colonial Library" in our hands we can at pleasure follow Malcolm to Persia, Borrow to Spain, Hay to Morocco, Father Ripa t o Chi na , L ew i s to the West Indies, Bishop Heber to the East Indies, Melville to the Marquesas Islands, or the fair authoress, whose lucubrations are now lying upon our portfolio, to Madras; and go thither, moreover, without the trouble of removing our slippers on rising from our elbow-chair. A map sketched before us on the table, a paper-cutter, and one of the works just enumerated, and, hey presto !—this brick Babylon of London is forgotten, and we are strolling at leisure under cork trees, among pagodas, by wigwams, or in any other extraordinary locality we may please to select. By issuing such a periodical Mr. Murray is performing a service to his subscribers and to literature; he is en larging the minds of the former, and counteracting the effect which might otherwise be produced by the spurious products of the latter. These letters from Madras are remarkable for the discursiveness of their descriptions, and the utter lack of symmetry in their arrangement ; and yet those very blemishes are the source of the principal beauty of the performance. What is lost in primness and neatness is gained in naturalness. This is not one of those speci mens of book-making which are too often palmed off upon the public as veritable originals. The narrative is that of a voyager; the accounts are those of an eye, witness; the paintings are copied from nature; and, best of all, the narrator is a woman—a young, lively, chattering, observant woman. From the moment when she is overcome with sea-sickness in the Bay of Biscay, and exclaims with horror, at the entrance of her Irish servant with a great plateful of beefsteak and potatoes, "0, what is all that for? Oh, dear me!" to the period when the dinner table, at Samuldavee, is covered with myriads of black bugs, and a man walks round the table with a dessert-spoon (!) and a napkin to take them bff the shoulders of the company, our authoress is always in excellent humour, her descriptions are always piquante, her observations always on the qui vive. Nor does she neglect, whenever an opportunity occurs, to intersperse her tittle-tattle with serious and sometimes most benevolent commentaries. For example, her animadversions on the trade in Hill Coolies—a trade by which those unfortunate people are trepanned from their native land, torn from their fami lies or deluded by fallacious statements to servitude in the Mauritius—are to us most welcome. They are morever of especial interest just at this juncture, when the Sugar Duties Bill is receiving the sanction of the Legislature, and when the names and misfortunes of the Hill Coolies are thereby attracting a considerable share of public attention. We can commend this little volume to every one, but especially to those whose relatives are sojour ners either in Madras or its vicinity, and they are, we conjecture, " not one, but legion." THE ZOIST. A Journal of Cerebral Physiology and Mesmerism, and their application to Human Wel fare. Nos. 13 and 14. The last half-yearly volume of the Zoist demands im peratively the most solemn and careful attention of every man who desires to advance science and to pro mote the welfare of mankind. The physiological facts which are here collected surpass in their importance all that may be found in the " Transactions" of Royal and Medical and Chirurgical Societies, or in the " Reports " of Academies, from the invention of printing to the pre sent time. They are produced by patient observers of nature—earnest inquirers after truth—men of high personal and professional character and extensive ac quirements, in all parts of the globe. They are esta blished by authority so conclusive, so far above sus picion, that none who can appreciate the force of evidence will honestly deny them. They are of such transcendant value to suffering mankind that it is both cruel and iniquitous for those who live by professing the healing art, to withhold their benefit from those whom they are paid to relieve. It is, in fact, vain any longer to decry Mesmerism as a delusion, or stigmatise its disinterested and (happily for the world) indomitable champions—the champions of now triumphant truth— as impostors or fools. The day is gone by, and for ever, when a heartless joke or a malignant sneer may turn aside the attention of the world from phenomena, which are not less precious in their practical utility than instructive in their relation to the science of life. Let the jeerers make their own of Clairvoyance ; let them pit the " Mysterious Lady " and the " Scotch Boy " against Julie and Adolphe. Whether and with what limitations, Clairvoyance may be true, is a question which can afford to stand over. But the amputation of limbs, the extirpation of tumours, and a thousand minor operations of surgical art, must, in the mean time, be performed every hour. What torture, what agonies, what miserable deaths attend them ! Do not, then, stand and jabber about abstruse questions of imma teriality, like the pretended followers of Aristotle in the old schools, whilst the patient writhes and screams under your reckless knife, until the depth of your lore and the prodigies of your skill are testified by a man gled corpse. Shame shame ! Do you not know that there is not one case of surgical operation, from the most complicated and hazardous to the drawing of a tooth, that cannot be readily and mrtainly performed without * The important cases of cure in glandular, vascular, and nervous diseases of the m os t f orm i da b le kind, communicated by Dr. Elliotson, Dr. Ashburner, (of the Middlesex Hospital), Mr. Widdell, Mr. Chandler, and oth ers , wou ld b e sufficient to , convince any person who would take the trouble, or rather give himself the pleasure, of reading them. But we must particularly refer to operations performed by Mr. Thom as Bell, Professor of Zoology in King's College, and lecturer at Guy's Hospital, the mesmeric phenomena of which are certified by Mr. E. Forbes, Professor of Botany, King's College ; Mr. W. Ferguson, Professor of Surgery, King's College, and surgeon to King's College Hospital; Mr. James Luke, surgeon to the London Hospital; and Mr. John Adams, Assistant Surgeon, London Hospital. Mr. Thomas Bell is to introduce the cases to the notice of his pupils at Guy's Hospital in his lectures next session. How long will the " reflex motion" and " useful pain" doctors hold out? and the surgeons who swear in courts ofjustice that blundering and fatal operations cannot be helped, and that a man must wade knee deep in human blood to surgical eminence? That sworn statement was distinctly applied to blood fatally shed ! LAYS AND LEGENDS OF GERMANY. By Ella Louisa Harvey. A very pleasing volume of fugitive pieces, by the ac complished daughter of the Bishop of Jamaica. In fluency of versification, and analogy of expression, Mi ss Harvey's translations rom German poetry are frequently equal to the most successful performances of John Oxenford—and, to our thinking, that is no mean com mendation. Nevertheless, the fair authoress is some tunes singularly unequal in spirit. One stanza is spon taneous and unaffected, while the very next is forced and unnatural. Her version of that tenderest of all tender ditties (" Most musical, most melancholy") " Mignon's Song," is a striking example of this defect ; the second and third verses are altogether unworthy of the first ; it is the merging of a delicious melody into discordance. In the minor fragments Miss Harvey is generally eminently successful. " Ye never shall possess it The free, the German Rhine," seems beating with the pulse of a love for fatherland. Sometimes, by the novel pensivenes with which she in vests even a trite idea, our authoress writes in a tone sin gularly touching. Thus, after revisiting " The Scenes of Childhood," and, after musing on their unaltered verdure and beauty, she exclaims : " Ye are the same—but in my heart There dwells a world of change ; And all your glories but impart A feeling cold and strange. " To me the woods, and rushing streams, The wild and beauteous shore, Are shadows of remembered dreams. For I am young no more 1" Many of the legends are striking and original ; and the historical ballads, written in emulation of those glo rious lines, beloved of yore, by Bishop Percy, are pleasingly and sometimes nervously composed. Miss Harvey has shown herself an adept in all the myste ries of rhythm, and because she has not striven for the attainment of too much she has been successful. THE TORY CAUSE IN BRADFORD, YORKSHIRE.—A circular has been addressed to the wealthy Tories in Brad ford, to say that, unless they double their subscriptions, there can be no stand made for the West Riding at the next elec tion, as the Tory funds are much depressed. REPRESENTATION OF MANCHESTER.—It will be re collected that at a meeting of the committee of the Manchester Reform Association, on Wednesday week, a resolution to put Mr. Cobden in nomination, notwithstanding his reluctance to offer himself as a candidate, was met by an amendment, to the effect that the meeting regretted exceedingly that Mr. Cobden should decline to become a candidate, and that it was advisable to seek some other gentleman to offer him self as a candidate. It was then agreed that a special meet ing of the committee should be held on that day week, to consider the whole question. The special meeting was held on Wednesday last, and there was a very large at tendance, including nearly all the members of the commit tee. Mr. George Wilson moved that Mr. Bright be invited to become a candidate at the next general election. Mr. Edward W. Watkin seconded the motion. A long discus • sion ensued ; those who supported the motion urging the claims of Mr. Bright to the honour of representing Man cbester, while on the other hand those who were in favour of putting Mr. Cobden in nomination, contended that no good reason could be shown why the same course should not be taken with regard to him, that was pursued towards the late Mr. Poulett Thomson, who was put in nomination and elected without his consent. On the other hand, it was urged that the committee had only a week before—(we believe, by a majority of 13 to G )—negatived the course now recommended by the majority of those present. Ultimately, it was resolved unanimously that a meeting should be held that day fortnight ( Wednesday the 2d September), to con sider the propriety of rescinding the resolution of Wednes day week, and of reconsidering the whole subject.—Man chester Guardian. FINSBURY CHARITY SCHOOL—The fifty-fourth an niversary dinner of this institution was held on Thursday last at the London Tavern, the Right Hon. the Lord Mayor in the chair, supported by the Rev. J. Saunders, rector of St. Luke, Rer. L. Marcus, incumbent of St Paul's, Finsbury, H. Lee, Esq., treasurer, E. Robinson, Esq., H. W. Elder, Esq., 11. J. Leas, Esq., J. Seeley, Esq., &c. The dinner was served in a style highly creditable to Messrs. Bathe and Breach, and gave great satisfaction to a numerous and respectable company. The cloth being removed, "Non nobis" was sung by Messrs. Sporle, Kenny, Smith, and King. After the usual loyal toasts, the chairman rose and expressed the gratification he felt in occupying the chair on so interest ing an occasion, pointing out to the company the most pro minent features of the institution. His Lordship then alluded to the importance and advantage of a Scriptural education of the poor, and the social guarantee it afforded, and urged the assembly to give a practical proof of the estimation in which they held the charity. He then gave the toast, " Prospe r ity to the Finsbury Charity Schools," amid great cheering. The children were then introduced, whose neat appearance and behaviour elicited much approbation. After an appropriate address by the Rev. L. Marcus, the health of the treasurer was given and acknowledged, a handsome subscription was then made ; among the donations was the Lord Mayor, 101. 10s. ; J. Thomson, Esq., 51. ss. ; H. W. Elder, 5/. ss. ; Messrs. Lee, 101. 10s., &c. Other toasts followed, and the party broke up, delighted with the evening's entertainment. DISEASE AMONG CATTLE.—Our Neath correspondent informs us that an extraordinary and unheard-of disease has attacked numbers of cows in his neighbourhood, and that the milk which they yield is so fetid as to be totally unfit for use.— Wi lshman. EGG LAW.—A somewhat ludicrous exhibition of this mode of procedure was witnessed in Stamford butter-market on Friday last, and which was inflicted upon a female vendor of eggs—one of those who visit this market evidently with the intention of defrauding the public. This honest woman, it appears, had stood in the market that day with a basket of putrid eggs, part of which she succeeded in palming off at the usual market price, hoping, no doubt, to get clear off before the purchasers found out their mistake ; but she had good reason to lament her dishonesty, for before she could make her exit her enraged customers returned, and, possess. ing themselves of the remainder of her ware, pelted her with them so lustily that she was obliged to retreat into a tradesman's shop close by to avoid a further infliction of this not very agreeable punishment, which has doubtless taught her that, atter all, " honesty is the beat policy."—Lincolnshire Chronicle.

TO TIIE HON. TILE HOUSE OF COMMONS IN PARLIAMENT ASSEMBLED. The humble Petition of the Guardians of the Poor of the Parish of Ilfracombe, in the Barnstaple Union, Sheweth, _ _ That the Legislature having sanctioned the contracting of marriage before the superintendent-registrar of marriages, your petitioners consider that no stigma or degradation should be suffered to be cast on marriages so contracted, and they believe that compelling parties so desirous of contracting marriage to attend for such purpose at an union workhouse will tend to cast a stigma on marriages so contracted. That the registrar-general has refused, in some instances, to allow the superintendent-registrar's office to be in union woi khouses, on the very ground of your petitioners' objection, above stated; but in the case of the superintendent-regis trar's office for the district of the Barnstaple union, the registrar-general has been induced to comply with a vote of the board of guardians, in sanctioning the office of the clerk of the union being appropriated to and for the purpose of marriage and the general business of the registration of births, deaths, and marriages of the district of the Barnstaple union. That at the present advanced period of the session your petitioners cannot hope for legislation on this point, but your petitioners humbly pray that your Hon. House previous to pro rogation will be pleased by vote to express dissatisfaction at any part of en union workhouse being used for the purpose of contracting marriage, or as a place of deposit for the re gisters of births, deaths, and marriages._ And sour petitioners will ever pray, &c. }R. W. DICKINSON, Guardians of the Poor of the RICHARD BLIGH, parish of Ilfracombe , in JOHN JONES, the Barnstaple Union.

PART OF A FEMALE FOUND IN THE RIVER. On Saturday morning part of a young female, consisting of the legs, on which were a pair of Adelaide boots, and a part of the body as far as the chest entirely divested of its clothing, were discovered at low water near the landing at the College-wharf, Greenwich, when the remains were con veyed at once to the bone-house of St. Aspalth Church. The circumstance was immediately communicated to the various police stations in the metropolis, and in the course of yes terday a poor Irish woman named Donovan, living at No. 24, New-street, George-street, St. Giles's, stating she bad a daughter missing since the 12th of April last, and who she supposed had been drowned, came down to view the remains. Upon her seeing them, although so greatly dis figured from the length of time which they must have been under water, immediately recognised the toes, in conse quence of one peculiarity, and when the boots were pro duced, she stated they were the same which she had bought her daughter a few days previous to her being miss ing. The suspicious circumstances of this affair are as follows :—On last Easter Sunday her daughter attended high mass in the morning, she afterwards came home and partook of some dinner, soon after that dressed, and told her mother she was only going to have a gossip; this was about three o'clock in the afternoon; an hour afterwards her cousin, named Mary Quindon, saw three strange young men speak to her near a public-house in Wardour-street ; she heard them ask her to have something to drink; she then went in with them; on their corning out she said they wanted her to go to Greenwich, but not having any money she declined going, upon which one of the three pulled out a handful of silver, and said, " Never mind, I have plenty." Upon this they walked across the street with; her, much to the surprise of the cousin, as she considered 'her' a very prudent young womon. They evidently wished to get her out of sight of her cousin, by their manner, and the signs which they passed among themselves. A short time after this the same three young men were seen by another young woman coming out of a different public-house with the de ceased. This was the last time she had been seen, and the mother, in consequence of her daughter not re turning the same evening, gave information at the St. Giles's police station. Since the affair, Mary Quindon discovered the residence of the young man who showed the silver to be at 71, Wardour-street, Oxford street, and in consequence the mother made an application about three months ago at the Marlborough Police-court for his apprehension, but the magistrate declined interfering under the circumstances. About six weeks since, being informed that a young female had been picked up near the Strand, the mother went to identify the body, which proved to be one of the two females who were drowned off Vauxhall-bridge. She returned home, and after standing at her own door crying about ten minutes a strange young man came up and asked if the body was that of her daughter. Upon an answer in the negative, he said, " I was on board a steamboat at Westminster when she (the deceased) with three young men, came on board, and the boat had hardly left the pier ten minutes before she fell overboard." After he had said this, he immediately went away. The impres sion left on the mind of the mother since that time, and also the cousin, was that some foul play had taken pla c e, mo re particularly because the deceased was never known to go out with any young men before. The remains are in such a frightful condition as to preclude the possibility of a medical man giving a decided opinion ; but in consequence of the above facts having been made known to the police authori ties, the necessary steps have been taken to apprehend the parties who were last seen in her company.

DEATH OF THE MARQUIS OF THOMOND.—We regret to have to record the decease of the Marquis of Thomond, who expired on Friday last, at Taplow House, near Maiden head, after an illness of only ten days. The deceased William O'Bryen, Marquis of Thomond, Earl and Baron of Inchiquin, and Baron of Barren, county Clare, in the peerage of Ireland ; and Baron Tadcaster, of Tadcaster, county York, in the peerage of the United Kingdom, was son of Mr. Edward O'Bryen, brother of the first Marquis, by Mary, daughter of Mr. Carrick. He was born in the year 1766, and was consequently in his 80th year. The late Marquis married, in September, 1799, Elizabeth Re becca, only daughter and heir of Mr. Thomas Trotter, of Dulek, county Meath, who survives her husband. The late Marquis entered the army at a comparatively early age, and was in the 12th Regiment of Foot, at the capture of Guadaloupe and St. Lucie, and subsequently proceeded to the East Indies with that regiment in active service. He eventually exchanged from the infantry to the 14th Dragoons, but retired from the army in 1800. On the death of his uncle, the first Marquis, in February, 1808, he succeeded to the family honours and estates in the county of Cork. The deceased nobleman was, with the exception of the King of Hanover, the senior knight of the most illustrious order of St. Patrick ; was a privy coun cillor., for Ireland since 1828, colonel of the Cork City Militia, extra aide-de-camp to the Queen, and his late Majesty William IV., and a representative peer for Ire land since 1816. In default of male issue, the late Marquis is succeeded in his title by his brother, Vice-Admiral Lord James O'Bryen, G.C.H. (now Marquis of Thomond). L a d y Susan, married to the Hon. Captain George F. Hotham, R.N. ' • Lady Sarah, married to Mr. William Stanh o pe T a yl or ; Lady Mary, married to Viscount Berehaven ; and Lady Eliza beth, married to Mr. George Stukeley Bucke, are daughters of the late Marquis. He possessed valuable property in Ire land, but had not for many years past visited that country. He was a staunch Conservative, but, from his advanced age, had not lately interfered in politics. By his Lordship's de mise a vacant ribbon of the order of St. Patrick falls into the of the Premier.

At seven o'clock on Saturday evening the subscribers to the park fund assembled in the Free-trade Hall. There were several thousands present. The chair was taken by W. B. Watkins, Esq., Mayor of Manchester, who briefly addressed the meeting, and apologised for the unexpected delay of the proceedings, which had been protracted beyond what was anticipated. Mr. MARK Plimurs, M.P., next addressed the meeting. The Honourable Member concluded by proposing a resolution pledging the meeting to a liberal maintenance of the parks that had been that day opened. W. ENTWISLE, Esq., M.P., seconded the resolution, which was then put and carried unanimously.

Mr. WATTS, secretary to the Working Classes Committee, and several other intelligent persons, addressed the meeting during the proceedings, which did not terminate until after ten o'clock. THE BLEEDING PREMIER.—When Sir Robert Peel lately made his memorable speech on going out of office, he was very much agitated. He bled profusely by the nose; and an Hon. Member behind him (Colonel Rushbrooke) ob serving that he had only a white silk handkerchief—soon dis figured by the stains—handed to him a red handkerchief. The Premier bowed, accepted the proffer, and proceeded with a speech, destined, perhaps, to affect the legislation of the world. The debate went on, great excitement prevailed; decent Colonel Rushbrooke, retiring about one or two o'clock in the morning, his mind occupied with the international affairs of the whole terraqueous globe, was suddenly brought down from his altitude by Peel's livery servant, with his master's compliments and thanks, pre&enting to him the said red silk handkerchief—carefully washed, ironed and folded, just as if it had been lent by a milliner's girl to a laundress. —lnverness Courier.
