On CHASTITY and its INFRINGEMENTS; (An Essay for 1846.) "Of human ills and frailties I discourse, Those taught by nature, and by art acquied.

In kindly spirit, herein counsel's giv'n, How health, how hope, how happiness to gain." 3. WHAT fo EAT, DRINK, and AVOID; With Diet Tables forall Complaints. Contents:—How to ensure perfect digestion, tranquil feelings, a good night's rest, a clear head, and a contented mind. By an ob servance of the instructions herein contained, the, feeble, the ner vously delicate, even to the most shattered constitution, may acquire the greatest amount of physical happiness, and reach in health the full period of life allotted to man. " How we should live—what eat, what drink, what shun, To reach in health full threescore years and ten." These interesting little volumes, although bearing upon subjects of very delicate Import, as their titles imply, will be found of immea surable and general utility, for they tell of matters every living crea ture able to understani ought to know, but which information in these enlightened times, except that quality promulgated through questionable channels, is at a very terrible discount. In the exposition hereby offered of the till now hidden truths of nature, of human disappointments and their ways of relief, it is not contended that every reader shall become his or her own physician any more than their own lawyer, but it is insisted upon that we should know the simple principles of our owu organization, the laws whereby our existence and the issue thereof in their,several healthy states depend, the duties that are expected of us in our individual lapacities In the family circle, and the terms on which the health and happiness of the present and future race of mankind have to rely. By such knowledge, and which Is herein faithfully imparted, health will be fountl to be in our own keeping, and happiness within the attainment of all; by the availment hereof in fulfilling our duty to ourselves, we secure the like advantages on our offspring to follow, and finally by the cultivation 5f our faculties, which is in consistent with degenerate health, the mind as well as the body may be exalted to the summit of perfection, as best becomes the highest of God's creations. The author's justification for this seeming eulogy of his own writ ings, and the avowal of their integrity of purpose, must be measured by their perusal—his accredited qualifications guarantee that the topics broached involve his legitimate study and pursuit.

PRINTERS' PENSION SOCIETY. —The Committee of Management of this Society, which was founded in the year 1837, for the purpose of affording relief to aged and infirm printers and their widows, by the granting of pensions, having obtained the patronage of the Duke of Cambridge, the Duke of Northumberland, and the principal influential local families, have announced their intention, with a view to augment the funds of the Society, of giving a grand rural fete, which will take place on Monday next, the 13th, in the grounds of the White Hart Inn, at Bromley; on which occasion a grand flower show will be held, i n a ddi t i on to a variety of amusements an d entertainments, consisting of equestrian performances, under the direction of Mr. Batty, rustic amusements, a concert, and display of fireworks. Since the formation of the Society in 1837, upwards of 130 persons have received permanent relief in pensions, upwards of 50 of whom are at the present time recipients of the true benefits conferred upon the aged and infirm printer by this Society, ELECTION MOVEMENTS. PLYMOUTH. Motipmr —The friends of Vincent are in high spirits this morning. Mr. Vincent has had interviews with some " lead • ing parties," who have engaged to aid his return. He has seen, it is stated, several of the leading Dissenters and Wes leyans, who had pledged themselves not to support Lord Ebrington on the ground of his Lordship's approval of the Maynooth Bill ; and they have promised him that they will not v'te for or interest themselves on behalf of Lord Ebring ton—that they will be neutral ' • he has also had an interview with a deput a ti on from the Chartists, but with what success we have not been able te learn. At half-past twelre o'clock he addressed a large meeting, consisting principally of work ing men, at Caldown. The exposition of his views was listened to with apparent satisfaction, and at the close of his address three cheers were given for Vincent with hearty goodwill. Lord Ebrington's friends, confident of their strength, are not making any effort whatever. The election is appointed for Friday next. DEVONPORT. JULY G.—This morning the mayor, W. P. Blackmore, Esq., publicly read the writ and the precept of the Lord Lieu tenant of the county for the election of a Member of Par liament. The election is appointed for Friday next, when Sir G. Grey will be re-elected without opposition. Vice-Admiral Sir William Parker and Lord John Hay have been appointed to the Board of Admiralty. Lord Marcus Hill is to be Comptroller of the llousehold ; and the O'Conor Don one of the Lords of the Treasury. Lord Fortescue will, it is said, newt the Lord Stewardship of her Majesty's llousehold. THE WOOL SEASON.—The setting-in of the wool season is again effecting a change in the nature of the car goes of the Hamburgh steamers. The Queen of Scotland last week had only room for two cows on deck, and the Helen Macgregor, which arrived on Saturday last, was piled up with as much wool as her tarpaulings would secure from the sea, having no less than 800 bales on board. The Victoria arrived on Tuesday morning with a full deck cargo of wool. —Hull Advertiser. THE JAMAICA RAILWAY.—The traffic return of the second quarter of this railway shows a decrease of .9,256 pas sengers, as compared with the first quarter, but an increase in the goods traffic almost quadrupling the previous return. The decrease is attributed to the effects of novelty at the first opening, and the increased communication with Spanish Town during the first quarter, owing to the sitting of the Assembly. SUDDEN DEATH BY DRINICING WHEN HEATED.— We last week reported a death caused by drinking too much water, and we are sorry to record a similar occurrence. On Saturday week an Irish labourer, residing in Love-street, while engaged in hoeing potatoes near Roslin, on the Greenock-road, had been so thirsty, owing to the heat, that he went into a public-house and got a bottle of porter, but not feeling his thirst quenched, he next drank half a Scotch pint of buttermilk, which caused almost instant death.— Rcn frewsliire Reformer. N'ovEr.IMPORTATION.--A vessel, called the Freden, which has arrived in the London Dock from Russia (Odessa) in addition to a cargo of Russian tallow, had 1,250 bomb shells on board. So singular an importation is remarkable and worthy of notice. TREMENDOUS THUNDER• STORM AND LOSS OF LIFE.— WELLINGTON, MONDAY MORNlNG.—Yesterday morning a tremendous storm of thunder and lightning visited this neighbourhood, and did much damage. The whole of Sa turday the weather was excessively sultry, but yesterday morning a light breeze sprung up, and the sky being clear and bright up to past eight o'clock, no thought of thunder was entertained. Towards nine o'clock the heavens became suddenly overcast, and numberless clouds were seen travers ing the sky with unusual rapidity, and in opposite directions. Soon after nine o'clock the storm burst forth with terrific fury. The forked lightning was distinctly visible even in the glare of daylight, and at one time a stream of fire appa rently of the width of a man's body was seen darting to the earth. The electric fluid at about a quarter-past nine o'clock struck a building occupied by the Independent body of Dissenters as a Sunday school. The children were assembled and had engaged in prayer and singing, when one of the windows was suddenly dashed in, the wood work of the frame being shivered in pieces, and seven or eight of the children were thrown upon the ground. One poor fellow, a lad of about 16 years old, named Edward Harcourt, was killed upon the spot. The electric fluid penetrated his breast just over the region of the heart, and passed out by his foot. He was the son of poor parents, but a remarkably intelligent and pious youth. Two others of the boys lie in a precarious state, and one of them it is feared cannot recover. From accounts brought into the town, I fear that we shall hear of accidents in other places. At Taunton, Minety, Tiverton, and other towns, the storm raged with fearful violence; and at the Tiverton-road station of the Great Western Railway an electric meteor darted across the line, near the telegraph, within a minute or two of the passage of the first down train. THE NEW MILITARY PRISON, ST. GEORGE'S BAR RACKS, TRAFALGAE-SQUARE.—This prison is now com pleted, and will be transferred to the authorities this day. All the prisoners will be confined in separate cells, under the control of a proTost-sergeant. Each cell is provided with a hammock and bedding, a stool and table, as well as a bell, that the prisoner may ring in case of illness or any sudden emergency. During the day the hammock will be removed. ACCIDENT AND Loss OF LIFE AT DEAL.-011 Tues day afternoon a distressing accident occurred to one of our hovelling boats in the Downs. The boat Esperance, with a crew of four men, left here to visit the shipping on their pas sage from London to the Downs, seeking employment, and after leaving two men on board different vessels to land their pilots on arrival in the Downs, the others were returning in their boat to Deal, and when near Sandowu Castle, about half a mile oil' shore, the boat was upset by a sudden squall of wind, and immediately sunk. The accident was observed from the shore, and boats launched, manned by hardy crews, by whose vigorous and prompt exertions one of the unfor tunate men was rescued in a very exhausted state. Messrs. Dixon and Masson were speedily on the spot to render surgi cal and medical aid, under whose care the poor fellow is in a fair way of recovery. The other, a fine young man, had sunk ere the boats reached the fatal spot, and every exertion that has been made to find the body, up to the pr esen t ti me , has proved abortive. his name i s Wm. Roberts, and he has left a widowed mother, who was entirely dependent on him for support.—Doser Telegraph. ST. ANN'S SOCIETY SCHOOLS.—A quarterly meeting of the Committee and Governors of this institution, took place on Monday at the offices. Charlotte-row. Mansion house. The chair was taken by D. Laing, M.A., F.R.S., until the arrival of the llon. William Ashley. This Society is under the patronage of her Majesty, Prince Albert, and the Queen Dowager. Dr. Burnet moved resolutions, ex pressive of approval of the praiseworthy exertions of the matron and master of the Brixton Asylum for some rears past, and to which much of the efficiency of the school was to be attributed, and that an increase in their respective salaries be made to the amount of 43/. per annum, which was seconded by Mr. Knill. Mr. Lott and others having ex pressed their approval, the resolutions were carried. The thanks of the meeting were voted to the Hon. W. Ashley, for the interest manifested by him in the welfare of the Society, and• his conduct in the chair, and the proceedings terminated. THE STRATFORD JUBILEE CUP.—Saturday, at the sale of the effects of the late Mr. J. Johnson, of Upper Char lotte-street, Fitzroy-square, was sold the cup presented by the mayor and corporation of Stratford-upon-Avon, in Sep tember, 1760, to David Garrick, and used at the jubilee in stituted by him in that month, at the birthplace of Eng land's dramatic bard. Shakspere, about the year 1609, planted at his native place a mulberry tree ; it had long attained a fulness of growth, produced the most luxuriant fruit, and was the admiration and veneration of every one, till, in 1756, the Reverend Francis Gastrell, the occupant of the house, from the frequent importunities of travellers, conceived a dislike to the tree, and in an evil hour, in contempt of the popular adoration, or dered the tree to be felled, and its logs split for fire-wood ; a general odium was excited, and a watchmaker named Thomas Sharp, of that town, secured the pieces, and con verted the fragments to uses widely different from that to which the tree had been so irreligiously condemned. The cup under notice was about 11 inches in height, lined with silvergilded ; a rim of silvergilded round the foot ; and the cover was crested with a cluster of mulberries and leaves, also silvergilded. At the jubilee Garrick ligld it, raised, on his hand, while singing the following lines, composed by him for that occasion, beginning— " Behold this fair goblet, 'twas carved from the tree Which, my sweet Shakspere, was planted by thee, As a relic, I kiss it, and bow at the shrine ; What comes from thy hand must be ever divine " All shall yield to the mulberry tree, "Bend to thee, blest mulberry, " Matchless was he who planted thee, " And thou like him immortal be." On the death of Mrs. Garrick, this cup was, by a decree in Chancery, sold, May 5, 1825, a t Christie's Auction-rooms, in King-street, St. James's, for 121 guineas, and then purchased by Mr. Johnson, by whom it was estimated so highly that the price asked was 200 guineas. Since his death it was submitted with other effects to auction, and put up at a re served price of 100 guineas ; but no second bidder appearing the cup was withdrawn. On Monday it was again submitted for sale, without reserve, and produced 40/. Bs. 6d., the pur chaser Mr. Isaacs, of Upper Gower-street. REMARKABLE INVENTION.—During a recent visit in Boston we were shown specimens of the production of a wonderful piece of mechanism, which were, indeed, truly astonishing. They were miniature busts of Daniel Webster, Abbot Lawrence, and Levi Woodbury; being perfect f fac similes of their distinguished o r i g i na l s , and wrought out o f beautiful American marble, and by a machine which has been invented by Mr. Thomas Blanchard, of Boston. This invention certainly establishes a new era in the art of sculp ture, and promises to dispense, almost entirely, with the deep thought, and classic study, and indefatigable labour of the artist in his efforts to put life and poetry into the marble; for nature, art, everything tangible, can be copied by this machine, with a precision which defies the chisel, even when guided by the most skilful hand and directed by the most gifted talent. The machine, too, can be graduated so as to give reduced copies of any statuary, which shall, in their miniature, be perfect and exact copies of the originals in everything else but the size; preserving every line, fur row, and dimple, and giving prominence to muscles and veins, and every particular lineament and feature, in exact proportion. By the same machinery the most correct and perfect bas-relief profile likenesses may be cut on the hardest material, and of any size required, from half an inch to full life-like size. We saw a strikingly exact cameo profile of Henry Clay, as perfect a head of that statesman as we have ever seen in any of the busts or casts to be found, and of the fashionable size for a lady's breast-pin. Among the specimens shown us, too, were the heads of several of our acquaintances, cut in cameo and ivory, the proper size for setting in pins, the first glimpse of which called before our minds the originals as readily as the most perfect daguerreo type or pencilled miniature would have done. We are as sured that the best of Greenough's and Persico's productions, which have cost them years of study and effort, can be copied by this apparatus with most positive accuracy; and the block of shapeless marble put into its power will, in a few hours, stand forth a perfect copy of the, most beautiful and animated statuary the greatest sculptors ever produced. And, what is most wonderful, this machinery may be readily graduated to increase or diminish the copy, so as to furnish a colossal or a miniature figure, with equal precision, and in all respects exact proportions.--American paper. The sum paid by the Society of Friends this year, under distraint, and in obedience to ecclesiastical demands, timoupts to 9,000/., which they as usual retest against. , Inquire into MO burthens affecting real property (which evidence bas just been issued by order of Parliament):— " Charles Barclay, Esq., called in and examined. - v " You are well acquainted with the operation of eat malt duty?—l am. "Do you think the malt duty causes a great diminu—lee's (ion in or restricts very much the demand for barley ? To a small degree, I presume, it must, by increasing the price. " Supposing the malt duty to be entirely taken off, could you give any idea of the diminution in the price of beer that would be produced?—Yes, it would be a half penny a quart; a quart now selling for 3d. You are speaking of a particular kind of beer ? Yes, porter ; it is the common drink of London. " Beer, of course, almost amounts to a necessity with the mass of the population ?—The common drink of London is porter, which is sold at 3id. a quart. " In consequence of the reduction of a halfpenny per quart, you imagine there would be a considerably in creased consumption of porter P—l should not call it a considerable, there would be an increase. " Can you give any idea what that increase would amount to? No; but it may be estimated, became, in the year 1829, the beer duty was taken off of 10s. a barrel, and there was a considerable increase upon that occasion in the consumption in London. " What was the diminution per barrel when the duty was taken off ? It was 12s. ; the duty had been only 10s., and we took eff 12s. " What would that be in the quart ?—A penny. " That was in the year 1829 ?—Yes. " It came into operation in the year 1830 ?—Yes. ! " Was there any great difference in the consumption between the year 1829 and the year 1830 ?—I cannot tell you upon any great scale. I can tell you as far as my own brewhouse is concerned ; I think it was one third more. " Therefore do you draw the conclusion, that if the reduction of a penny per quart increased the demand by one-third, a reduction of a half-penny would increase it one-sixth ?—lt is a lair inference ; but when I look at the return of the malt duty Ido not see how that increase could be made up. " Are you not aware that the malt duty has not in creased in proportion to the general increase of the population?—lt is worse than that, because I hold in my hand a return of the malt duty since 1837; and I see the duty charged was 5,500,000 quarters in 1837; and in 1844 it is only 4,600,000 quarters. " To what do you attribute the falling off of the malt duty P—First of all, beer is almost entirely exploded from the tables of gentlemen's families. I remember 30 years since there was strong ale and bottled stout at dinner, and now it is hardly ever seen, and there is no 3,000 or 4,000 gallons of October ale brought into our cellars. I hare a cellar made for that purpose, but there are now only three or four barrels of beer in it, and a little porter. Then another thing is the price of wine. I was talking to a person who is a great maltster, and he was speaking of the custom of his family, which:is very general ; they drink wine instead of beer—Marsala, and all those cheap wines. Then there is coffee ; and there is in every public-house now soda-water and ginger -beer, and various other liquids. The people are certainly a so berer set, take them altogether. They do not drink somuch beer; they drink other things. I do not know whether your lordships were aware of the extra tax that was laid on barley at one time, in the year 1803, when the malt duty was put on the last time. Every quarter of malt paid a duty of 345. Bd., from which three barrels and a half of beer were brewed, paying a duty of 10s. per barrel. Thus the whole duty of malt and beer on a quarter of barley 61 p to the year 1816 was 31. 9s. Bd. per quarter. " Then the present duty is about one-third the ante cedent duty, taking the beer and malt together P.—Yes, it is now 21s. Bd. " But the consumption, instead of keeping pace with the reduction of the duty, en the contrary, has rather diminished ; and that, you think, has been from the causes you have stated 2-1 imagine those to be the causes. Mr. Goulburn has often asked me about it, and I never could account for it in any other way. "In your opinion, who pays the malt duty ? Does it fall solely on the consumer of beer, or dces it fall upon the brewer and the farmer ?—I should imagine upon the consumer of beer. " Entirely ?—Yes, I think so. " You said that if foreign barley were admitted you should make use of it ; why would you make use of it ? —Because I imagine we should get it cheaper. " have you made any calculation to what extent you would be likely to get foreign barley, of the same quality, at a cheaper rate P—l have not. I have upon wheat imagined the difference, but not barley, but I should say, 3s. or 4s. " Of the same quality ?—Yes, I should think so ; be cause my calculation is, that wheat will be about 7s. a quarter cheaper in consequence of the alteration of the law. " You are aware that the proposed alteration is a re duced duty fur the next three years, and perfectly free trade afterwards ; do you apply your observation to the perfectly free trade or the intermediate stage ?—Per fectly free trade. " What do you call the present price of wheat ?—I believe it is about 58s. " Then it might come down to about Ms. ?—Yes. " Can you state at all what are the relative qualities of foreign barley and of the barley which you at present buy for the use of your house ?—I have seen it; but my son, who is now the manager of the brewery, spoke of it as being quite as good as some of the home-grown samples. "You are aware that maltsters giving bond for the payment of their duties are allowed eighteen months' credit now for those duties ; in the event of their selling within eighteen months, do they not obtain a supposed return of the duty which they have not paid?—A great portion of the maltsters are supplied with capital from that cause. " That is, in fact, an introduction of so much Govern ment capital in aid of the private capital of those indi viduals?—Yes. " Your great establishment is insured is it not?—yes. "Bare you any objection to state to what amount? I suppose about 300,0001. or 400,000/. " Do you think that the great London brewers would be benefited, or otherwise, by a repeal of the malt duty ? —I should think they would not be benefited, because we must lower our prices; and, as a matter of trade, you take everything at a per tentage; therefore, if we are to sell a barrel of beer for 275. instead of 335., it would be no benefit to us. " Would it not let in a large competition of smaller dealers 2—No ; they cannot beat us. At the time that the duty was taken off beer, when Mr. Goulburn brought in a Bill to throw the trade open, I believe my neigh bours hardly believed me in the House when I got up and expressed my satisfaction at the measure, and said that we were not at all afraid of those beer-chops. The effect of it was with us comparatively trifling. There was a sum of money lost, but nothing to signify. " How would it be with the great =haters; would it be for their interest to repeal the whole of the duty?--I do not know that it would. The reason I should give is this—That the duty increasing the price of the malt gives a greater power to the great capitalist. There fore, the little maltsters would lose the benefit which has been mentioned, of having capital supplied them by the duty; and the great maltsters would not have the advantage which they get from their capital. " You are of opinion that repealing. the malt duty would be a great loss to the revenue, and that that loss would not be compensated by a sufficient advantage to the consumers of beer in the country 7—That is my de cided opinion. " Do you generally purchase the barley, and turn it into malt, or do you allow your maltster to purchase for you ?—We use about 120,000 quarters of malt, rather more, and we buy above 30,000 in the market ; all the rest is made by our agents, and we have persons in various parts of Norfolk, Suffolk, and Hertfordshire, to purchase barley and to make malt. " Do they buy barley for you, subject to your ap proval ?—No ; we trust to our agents. They buy th e very best description they can get. They hare a com mission of 2s. a quarter fur making and for their at tendance. _ The only barley that comes at till for consumption into the great breweries is the best class barley ?—I think generally so. "Is that owing mainly to the amount of the duty which is paid upon malt, which would press so much more heavily on the inferior kind than upon the better kind ?—Yes. I have stated, and I believe it to be so, that inferior barley would not bear a heavier duty." lIERTFORD.—A NEW USE HAS BEEN SUGGESTED FOR TILE ELECTILIC TELEGBAPH.—A child was accidentally drowned in the New River at Ware on Wednesday, and on the body being recovered the usual means were employed to restore animation. The little sufferer was revived sufficientiv to recognise his friends, but soon afterwards expired. In reference to this a correspondent of the local paper sug gests that "had the surgeon been called earlier the chances of perf"ct re!toration of the patient wou ld o f course have been proportionately increased; but th e purpose of my ad• dressing you, Mr. Editor, is to call the attention of the faculty to a resource of the highest importance in all cases of suspended animation f rom d rowning, apoplexy, cr phisaxation, which is th at o f properly-directed cur rents of galvanism, eas il y to b e derived from the tele graphic conductors at every station, if persons attached to the establishment would humanely consent. Dr. Bodin, of Paris, has by recent trials of galvanism restored persons pro nounced by the most intelligent medical men perfectly dead; all previous attempts at resuscitation—such as warmth, fric tion, the appropriate administration of carbonate of ammo- Ma (a most efficient stimulus in such cases) proving ineffec tual. It is, therefore, desirable that our medical professors take a note of this discovery, and lose no time in endeavour ing to arrange with the telegraphic directors, that they shall be at liberty at each station to have the conducting wirer, and apply them to patients in cases requiring this kind o: electricity. Such an application of the telegraphs will far exceed in utility the working of the pendulums, and add another triumph to the discover of the important means of transmitting to an immeasurable distance with the velocity of lightning, thus verifying the observation of Dr. Franklin, when asked the utility of a new discovery—" What do you expect from a new born child?" A. CAB-DRIVER KILLED.—On Monday morning, about two o'clock, a cab was overturned in the Hampstead-road, near Chalk Farm-lane, by running on a bank by the road. aide, and the cab-driver was pitched from his seat into Of road, and killed instantaneously. The poor fellow wi.s found lying with the shaft of the cab resting upon him, and he did not move after he was discovered. It is supposed that he was returning from settin g d own a f are at Ilampstead, and that having fallen asleep, the horse, which was a blind one, ran on to the bank. FATAL ACCIDENT ON THE LEEDS AND THIRSK RAIL. WAY.—On Tuesday morning a man named Russell was acci dentally killed by a fall of earth at Kirskill, where a large bill is being removed, to make the embankment across the valley of the Wharfe. A great number of men are engaged on the spot, but no one else suffered serious injury but de ceased, who was so much bruised by the falling earth that he survived only a few moments. Russell was a middle-aged man and married.—Leeds Intelligcncer. • _ _ . SOCIETY • OF PAINTERS IN WATER ► COLOURS.
