DUTCH AND GERMAN PAPERS. STOCKHOLM, SEPT. 17.—Their Majesties the King and Queen, who are now perfectly convalescent, have passed several days at Beckaskog, the domain of the Crown Prince, where several entertainments have been given to the nobility of Schonen. Their Majesties in tended to leaVe their palace on the 15th, when an un looked for obstacle obliged them to chang e their plans —the illness of the Princess Eugene, who appears to have taken the measles. The Queen has in consequence resolved to defer her journey for the present. The King, however, was obliged to leave on the 15th for Christiania, which place he was anxious to reach on the 24th. Prince Augustus was t o accompany his royal father, and Prince Oscar intended to set out the same day for Uelsenbnrg , and there to embark in the frigate Eugene. The Crown Prince and Prince Gustavas go to Silesia to witness the manoeuvres of the Prussian troops, after which they make a short visit to Munich. The Queen Dowager returned from Schonen to Stock holm on Wednesday, the 14th. PETARSBURG, SEPT. 13.—The St. Petersburg jour nals contain fresh accounts from the theatre of war in the Caucasus, from which we can only make the follow ing extracts:—" The enemy, under the command of the former Sultan, Daniel Bek, intended to make an attack from the south of Dagheston, and to penetrate to Tus chetien, but his plans were defeated on the one hand by a division of Prince Argustinski, and on the other by the brave resistance of the Tuschinges. When Prince Argustinski was informed of the enemy's plans. he resolved to anticipate them. On the Ist of August he advanced with four battalions, three mountain guns, and some hundred of the native militia, both horse and foot, and after three days march over steep mountains and through defiles, reached the village of Kossrad, at the foot of the lofty mountain side of Flezus. The enemy, to the number of about ten thousand men, had entrenched themselves there on the 6th of August. Prince Argustinski attacked the Lesgi ans , an d, in spite of their most obstinate resistance, drove them from their impregnable position. O n th e p ar t o f the Lesgians three hundred remained on the field of battle. On the side of the Russians two officers and ten men were killed. Prince Argustinski returned after the battle to the heights of Zuar, near Turschidach, in order from this point, which is situated on the centre, to be able to protect the country from further invasion. The works begun this year on the whole line, from the Caspian to the Black Sea, are advancing rapidly. The new fortress on the Jaryikssn, notwithstanding the interruptions which have taken place, will be in a state of defence in the course of nelp summer. THE Hamm, SEPT. 27. ho King returned to this town yesterday afternoon from his visit to Silesia. We learn from good authority, that on the 13th of this month a treaty of trade and navigation between the Netherlands and Russia was concluded at St. Petersburg by the respective plenipotentiaries. THE HAGUE. SEPT. 25.—The trial ofJ.Van de Pol and sixteen other persons was continued before the Provi sional Tribunal of South Holland, for having taken part in the tumult which took place at Delft in September, 1845. The forty-second witness has been examined ; to-marrow morning the examination of the witnesses will continue. Our readers will remember that on the evening of 'September 22, 1845, the town was a scene of devastation and plunder ; that several bakers, mealmen, and shopkeepers bad their windows and blinds broken by a rude and licentious populace, and that some of the shops were plundered ; that the windows of the house of the burgomaster were dashed in, and that eight of the accused are said to have taken part in these acts of violence, and that some traces had been discovered at Dalfc of money having been distributed among the mob. The accused, for the most part, denied the fact laid to their charge, but most of the witnesses positively de clared that they had been seen tniegled with the rioters. One of the mealmen declared that the throwing of stones resembled a bombardment, and continued from half-past six to ten in the evening. Tuft Ifictio, SEPT. 2 7.—llis Majesty the King at tended divine service this morning in the Cloister Chapel, where a sermon was preached by the Rev. D. Van der Bruck, On which occasion thanks were returned to Almighty God for the safe return of his :dajesty to his kingdom. We learn that his Majesty will take a journey to Lim bourg and Luxemburg - , in the course of the week, and will return to the linue in a fortnight. ROTTERDAM, SEPT. 26.—An ad iress to the King from the merchants of this town is in circulation here, calling the attention of his Majesty to the interests of commerce and navigation, with respect to the duties on the im portation and the exportation of corn. The, persons taking part in this addr,:ss, declare that they were in duced to this step by the announcement of the intention of the Governmeat to lay before the States General, at the commencement of the next session, a proposal to pro long fur six months the law of the 18th of December, 1815, containing measures for the enc:Juragem.nt of im portation of provisions. Th e y su pp ose , h owever , t h at the object of the Government is not to stop at this mea sure ; they are therefore convinced that the measure which the Government now intends to propose is con nected with a plan to change the legislation respecting the duties on corn. They declare their conviction that the time is come for the Netherlands to allow the im portation of corn entirely free from duty. BURGLARY AND HEROIC CONDUCT OF A YOUNG FEMALE.—On Monday night the dwelling-home of Mr Preston, No. 7, Polborough-terrace, Harleyford-road, Kennington, was burglariously entered, but, by the heroic conduct of a female servant, the thieves were put to the rout, and deprived of a valuable booty. For some days past the house has bean left in the care of a female relative of Mr. Preston—who is himself on the Conti nent—a female servant, and the only other inmates were three young children. At al»ut one o'cl )ck on Tuesday morning the servant was awoke by a noise down stairs, and suspecting that some thieves were in the house, she got up, partly dressed, and gallantly marched down stairs with a candle in one hand, and an old sword be longing to her master in the other. On reaching the bed-room of her master she observed that the door, which should have been fastened, was partially opened. She made up her mind to enter the apartment, and was about to do so, when a man came out, whom she instantly struck upon the head with the sword, with all the strength of her right arm. The fellow slightly stumbled, when his hat fell off, and in it were no less than four watches, three of gold, a variety of jewellery, and purses containing ancient coin, &c., which he had collected from the different depositories in the bed-room. Not taking time to pick up either the hat or any portion of its valuable contexts, the burglar rushed down stairs, and managed to make his escape by the back kitchen, and through the garden into a nursery-ground in South Lambeth. An alarm was given, and the police admitted into the house, and it was then found that a quantity of plate, wearing apparel, and other valuable property, was tied up and ready to be carried away. MYSTERIOUS DISAPPEARAICCE.—About six months ago, Mr. John Wood, hair dresser, and lately of the Ship Inn, in this town, suddenly left his home and his wife and two children. At that time he was in a state of delirium, arising from the reverses of fortune which he had experienced. He was last heard of about six six weeks ago, an d h a d s l ept i n a corn f i eld about two miles from Misson, in a most distressing condition. When he left his home, he was dressed in a bottle-green coat, black double-breasted waistcoat, and dark grey trousers. lle is forty-five years of age, rather stout, of the middle size, and good looking. His disconsolate wife, whose condition under these afflicting circumstances is truly pitiable, on hearing of his being seen at Misson; proceeded thither, and searched the country around for several days, but could hear no tidings of him. Nor, since that time, has she heard anything further of him. Many conjectures are formed as to his fate ; and it is probable that, in his then state of mind, he may have destroyed himself. In that case it would be some satis faction to his wife, Mrs. Ann Wood, to know even the worst. At the present moment, she is almost heart broken, and entitled to the sympathy of the benevolent. —Doncaster Gazette. THE HERRING FISUING.—ST. MONANCE —We formerly noticed that th e h err i ng s h oa l h ad been scared from the coast in consequence of the fishermen having prematurely had recourse to their ground apparatus t while the herrings were li ve ly an d quick-sighted. At length it was discovered th a t a prodigious shoal had taken up its encampment in the bay of Dunbar • and the hue and cry having pervaded thi s coast , the ;cal° y legions were attacked with vigour on a ll s id es . Th e campaign continued during a whole week, and tremen• dous was the capture that then ensued. Think of the hundreds of boats drawn simultaneously to the spot, and some of them carrying away upwards of a hundred crans at one draught, and a faint idea may be conceived of the immense quantity landed on both sides of the Forth during that space. This dense shoal being either exhausted or dispersed, a short armistice ensued, during which little or no business was done on the bosom of the waters, and all was considered over ; but, after three days' suspense, symptoms of a mighty shoal slum bering on this coast manifested themselves with no fal. lacious exhibition. Again there was another vigorous onset for some days, and immense takes were again landed on our shore, insomuch that the curers wished to see the conclusion, and even some of the fishermen themselves began to express similar sentiments. Two hundred crans per boat is considered a good fishing, but several of the boats this season are not under five hun dred, and the general average on the coast is supposed to be about two hundred and eighty crans per boat.— Fife Herald. RICE AND TURNIPS A SUBSTITUTE FOR POTATOES. —Throughout Scotland the entire potato crop being unfit for human food, and abandoned almost wholly by all classes of society as dangerous even to be given to stock, the use of rice and turnips in equal quantities has, we observe, been recommended as a wholesome, substantial, and palatable food for rich and poor, and as a substitute for potatoes. Blended together, and sea soned with butter, lard, or dripping, the compound forms a most agreeable dish. The turnips and rice should be boiled separately, and when the former is !sell freed of ' water by pressure, and thoroughly mashed, they should then be mixed. Great Britain has never been a rice consuming country ; every other people where it is known use it largely. It is a nutritious and peculiarly wholesome food, only requiring a little gravy, butter, or simple seasoning to flavour it. An erroneous idea exists, that rice is an expensive food ; let the fallacy of this be seen. A third of a pound of good East India or Patna rice, without the aid of turnip,, will be found a sufficient quantity as a substitute fur potatoes for a family of eight or ten individuals, along with the usual table supply of other food. East India rice is charged at present by retail about 4d. a pound. Supposing it under the present calamity of potato failure to advance to 61 per pound, a sufficientquantity of excellent,whole• some, and nutritious food can be produced for a family, in lieu of potatoes, for twopence, and if mixed withtur nips, as recommended , will n ot cost one penny and an eighth. East India rice claims particular) it attentionur , because it is much cheaper thin Carolina, an ayo and nutritious qualities su r p ass the latter something like 50 per cent.—Ediriburyls Post, THE ENGLISH IN BORNEO. (From the Singapore Free Press of July 30.) Yesterday afternoon her Majesty's steamer Spiteful, Commodore Maitland, arrived here, having left Borneo on the 25th instant. This steamer brings accoun ts of the operations of the fleet at Borneo Proper. His Excel lency Rear-Admiral Sir J. T. Cochrane, after his arrival off the river of Borneo Proper, tried to arrange matters with the Sultan in an amicable manner, but found that all his efforts were met with suspicion. The Sultan re fused to allow his Excellency to go up the river, exce pt in a small boat, and behaved, altogether, in such a dis trustful manner, that negotiations were found to be use less. Decided measures were, therefore, resolved upon. On the 6th the Spiteful towed the Agincourt, Iris, Ring dove, Hazard, and Royalist, into the river, within about twelve miles below the town of Bruni. On the 7th the Hazard and the Royalist were moved up to the bar, and the Honourable Company's steamer Phlegethon towed the Royalist over the bar, and returned to the squadron for the boats, &c. The Admiral then hoisted his flag on board the Spiteful, and on the Bth the Spiteful and the Phlegethon—the latter, having a much less draught of water than the Spiteful, taking eight boats in tow—proceeded up the river. On the steamers, &c., coming within range of the forts, the Malays opened a fire upon them with round and grape, by which two men were killed and seven wounded on board the Phlege thou. This was returned from the Phlegethon with rockets and guns. The boats were now cast off, and the crews, under the command of Captain Mundy, and of her Majesty's ship Iris, landed and stormed the forts. The guns in the two forts, seven in number, were spiked, and in the afternoon the forts were destroyed. The steamers and boats then proceeded up the river towards the town of Bruni. On rounding the point of the town, another fort opened on the Phlegethon with the boats in tow. The steamers kept on their course, returning the fire, and, on a party of marines landing at the fort at 4 30 P.M. ; it was found deserted. The marines were encamped for the night on the hill. On the 10th a party of marines and small-arm men proceeded up the river, under com mand of Captain Mundy, on an inland expedition, in pursuit of the Sultan and his army, who had fled into the interior, but they did not succeed in coming up with the Malays. This expedition was absent four days. After their return, the steamers and boats moved down the river to the ships, and on the 25th the fleet left the river and proceeded to Pnlo Labuan, off which it was lying when the Spiteful left ; 57 guns in all were taken possession of, of which 27 were beautiful brass guns. One of these is described to be a magnificent Spanish piece of the reign of Charles 111. The Phlegethon was to pro ceed on the 25th inst. to Amboong and Tampasook for - bullocks for the use of the fleet; and it was generally thought that the Admiral would proceed immediately to China. The Daedalus joined on the 11 th with provi sions at d coals. The Phlegethon may be expected here between the sth and 10th of next month. We are glad to learn that the Phlegethon distinguished herself greatly in this affair, having had much of the hard work, and being the only vessel which returned the fire of the enemy. We trust that the services of Captain Ross and his officers will not be overlooked, and that when her Majesty's Government are rewarding those belonging„ to her Majesty's service, the Governor-General will not be unmindful of the gallant fellows belonging to the In dian service, but either himself bestow or procure from her Majesty's Government a fitting reward for their conduct in Bruni river. THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 1, 1846. CHURCH DISCIPLINE On Friday a return to an address of the House of Commons, made in February last, was printed, showing " the number of suits against clerks in holy orders, in the courts of the archbishops and bishops in England and Wales, since the Church Discipline Act, 3 and 4 Victoria, c. 86," stating, " whenever an offence has been proved against such clerk in holy orders, the name of the clerk, the nature of the offence, and the sentence pronounced by the judge." There have been fourteen suits instituted in the Arches Court of Canterbury against clerks in holy orders, under the Act mentialied, in two of which suits the offences charged were nut proved, and two suits remained, on the 13th of March last, undetermined. There were two suits against one clerk in the diocese of Bath and Wells, and seven in tie) diocese of Exeter. There were three suits in the diocese of Gloucester and Bristol. In the Court of the Bishop of Lincoln preliminary proceedings were only taken in three cases, and the parties accused con sented to abide the summary judgment of the bishop ; no proceedings were taken in the Court, and ceirse , quently (to use the language of the registrar), no of fence was proved against any of those three clerks." In the case of the Rev. William Day, of Hawridge, in the archdeacunry of Buckingham, after the preliminary it,- quiry, the suit was taken by letters of request to the Court of Arches. The offences charged were drunken ness and the commission of gross acts of violence. Air. Day made no defence, and the judge suspended him c.e officio ci tcneficio for three years. The costs of the pro secutiun amounted to 223/. ls. 10d., of which 50/. will be defrayed by the Rev. H. Jefferys, a landed proprietor of the parish, the rest by the bishop. Costs were given against Mr. Day, but as his living of Hawridge was under sequestration, none can be recovered. In the Court of the Lord Bishop of Norwich there was a suit against a clerk for non-residence, and sentence was given against him, on which he appealed ; the sentence was confirmed, and an appeal was made to the Privy Council, which is still pending. A like suit was instituted against the same party for eight months' non-residence in his rectory in 1844, which is still pending. In the Arches Court of Canterbury William Hassles Langley (clerk) was proved guilty of brawling in the parish church, and suspended ab officio fur eight months. Henry Erskine Head, for publishing a letter in derogation and depraving of the Book of Common Prayer, was suspended at officio et beneficio for three years ; Henry Henslowe, fur refusing to bury a corpse, after notice and warning given, was suspended ab officio for three months ; John Hurst, for profane cursing and swearing, and lewd and indecent conduct, and conversation, and adultery, or iiicontinerce, was suspended ab officio et beneficio for three years, and until a certificate of good behaviour and morals during suspension, signed by three beneficed clergymen, be produced and approved of by the Court ; John Jenes, for adultery and fornication, was suspended ab officio ci beneficio for two years, and until a certificate of good behaviour during suspension be produced ; Frederick Oakeley, for having published a pamphlet affirming doc trines contrary to the articles of religion —his license was revoked and himself suspended at officio until he shall retract bis errors ; William Day, for habitual and excessive drunkenness, and having been convicted of an assault, was suspended at officio et beneficio for three years, and until a certificate be produced ; Arthur Loftus, for lewd and indecent conduct and conversation, adultery, fornication, or incontinence, was deprived of his preferment ; Henry Cresswell, for quarrelling, fight ing, and habitually swearing, frequenting public-houses and intoxication, was suspended for eighteen months at officio et beneficio, and until a certificate be produced of good behaviour ; and Henry Heathcote, for having been convicted of an assault with an intent to commit an un natural crime, inhibition from exercise of the ministry, and from all discharge of his clerical office. The offences in the diocese of Exeter were in publishing the bans and solemnizing a marriage when neither of the parties lived in the parish ; for officiating without the license and against the monition of the bishop ; for omitting in the burial service certain parts of the office, and for pub licly reading prayers, &c., in an unconsecrated building. In the diocese of Gloucester and Bristol, Harry Grey was suspended for three years for frequenting houses of ill-fame and committing fornication ; and George Marcus d'Arcy Irvine, for celebrating an illegal marriage, was suspended for one year. THE APPROACHING PHEASANT SHOOTING SEASON. —Thursday next being the Ist of October, pheasant shooting will commence, and sportsmen will enter the pheasant covers this year with a good prospect of sport. The pheasant preserves in Surrey, Sussex, and Hants, are well stocked with young pheasants. The past summer has been equally as favourable to the hatching and rearing of pheasants as . to partridges. The hen pheasants stole away to nest very early in the spring, and brought out large broods, and the young birds got strong before making their tail feathers, which is the most precarious time for pheasant poults, as, should the weather or the lands be wet at this period of growth, they are frequently seized with a kind of croop, which kills them in large numbers. Young pheasants are now very strong on the wing, scale the woods swiftly, and will require a keen sportsman to bring them down. The young cock pheasants have attained a good plumage, and by the general early clearance of bean and barley crops, the young pheasants have fed in the shed corn, and are now in exceeding plump and good condition. MATRIMONIAL BLUNDER AND EXTRAORDINARY CHASE.—The greatest excitement prevailed amongst the inhabitants—the female portion in particular—of Quorn don, on Tuesday morning, by the following occurrence. A gentleman from the neighbourhood of Ashby-de-la- Zouch was about to lead a young lady of that place to the hymeneal altar, and on the happy couple and their attendants arriving at the Baptist Chapel, where the registrar was in attendance to perform the ceremony, it was discovered that the gentleman had not brought a certificate of the notice from the superintendent regis trar of the union in which ho resided. It was now half past eight o'clock, and to obtain a certificate not less than thirty miles across a hilly country was to be tra versed. The arrangements being of a nature which did not permit of delay, if it could possibly be avoided, the gentleman took postchaise to Loughborough, and pro curing a horse and gig at the King's Head Hotel; was speedily skirting the lofty hills of Charnwood Forest. The chaise awaited his return to convey him imme diately to Quorndon, where the greatest anxiety for the result prevailed, and where, although the bride and her friends did not leave the chapel, there were not a few who predicted that he would not arrive in time for the eeremony to be performed that day. At a quarter-past eleven o'clock, however, all doubts were dispelled by the bridegroom entering the chapel with the important docu ment ; having been only two hours and three-quarters performing the journey.—Nottinglianisliire Guardian. The Orleanais states that on Friday last the sprks from a locomotive, drawing waggons laden with sand, on the Orleans and Tierzon Railrcad, set fire to the wood at no less than six places on the line. In one place a wood of young fir-trees extending over nearly five acres was entirely destroyed. A FREE SECEDER.—The Rev. John Macnaughtan, a Free Alinist,r in Paisley, thus expressed himself, at a public meeting in that town :—" I say, for one, that I am prepared, whenever I may be called on to join in the warfare, to sweep the Establishment from off the face of the earth."—Glasgow Paper. THE NEWMARKET AND CIIESTERFORD RAILWAY.-- The "first sod" was raised on Tuesday at llnllinghana, in the presence or Lord George Manners and several other directors, and a large assemblage of the inhabitants of Newmarket. The line, which is to be completed by the autumn of 1847, has been leased for 999 years to the Eastern Counties Company, at a guaranteed 5 per cent. on the capital, and a share of all surplus profits of the united lines, len 2 per cent. REVIEW of the BRITISH CORN TRADE. The great rise which has taken place in the value of wheat during the last two months has been a strong in ducement to farmers to bring forward supplies ; and the deliveries from the growers have, within the last few weeks, been on a more liberal scale than is usual so shortly after harvest. Various circumstances have combined to lead to this result ; the very early period at which the crop was secured, and the excellent condition in which the greater part of the wheat was carried admitted of its being thrashed without its going through the ordinary pro cess of hardening in the stack. The grain was, in fact, in as fit a state for market immediately after it was carted as in common years it is at Christmas ; and it was capable of being ground with a very small ad mixture of old. At the same time the fineness of the quality caused the new to bring higher terms than were obtainable for the growth of last year, and the former was therefore sold in preference to the latter. Nothing can in our opinion afford a stronger proof of the healthy state of the trade than the fact that prices have steadily advanced in the face of such large supplies as have recently been poured into many of the markets in the agricultural districts. In considering the probable future range of quotations, this must not be lost sight of ; and it must be borne in mind that a material falling off in the deliveries from the growers must be ex pected so soon as the preparation of the soil for autumn sowing shall have been fairly commenced. It is true that the millers are now tolerably well stocked; still there ap pears little chance of any permanent re-action taking place in quotations when once the supplies from the farmers de crease. At present there is no prospect of arrivals of consequence from abroad, and holders of the foreign wheat in granary at the different maritime ports are not likely to become more anxious to realise, now when they aro sure of having less competition; and 'we are, therefore, inclined to believe that the upward move ment will receive no serious check. That the produce of potatoes of the United Kingdom will prove miserably deficient is now regarded as a certainty; and less is consequently said about the matter than was the case when some degree of doubt was supposed to attach to the subject. The failure of this article of food fully warrants the rise which has already taken place in the value of wheat, and affords sufficient reason to calculate on a further enhancement later in the year ; hence we feel no surprise at the firm tone which the trade has maintained at all the leading markets. The inclination to purchase has rather increased of late than diminished, and higher prices have been obtained towards the close than were realised in the early part of the week. It appears from our Scotch and Irish letters that the potato disease is likely to prove even more serious in those countries than in England. The extra consump tion of flour and meal which must take place, in conse quence of the loss of so great a proportion of the cus tomary food of a large class of the population, will unquestionably diminish the shipments of wheat and oats to the English markets, and we must, therefore, reckon on much smaller receipts of Scotch and Irish produce than in ordinary years. A considerable proportion of the 10,000 qrs. of wheat reported as received during the week got up previous to Monday's market, but not in time to be included in the list of arrivals then published; the actual supply coast wise into London has been only moderate since then. The quantity exhibited at Mark-lane by land-carriage samples from the home counties has meanwhile been small; and as the demand has been tolerably active, prices have tended upwards. The few parcels offering on the Essex and Kent stands on Wednesday were held above pre vious prices, and though no quotable ad v a nce was estab lished, good qualities could scarcely be brought on as easy terms as in the commencement of the week. On Friday factors displayed increased firmness, and needy buyers were under the necessity of paying the prices demanded, which wero in most instances Is. to 2s. per quarter above those current on Monday. The averages are now beginning to exhibit the effect of the late rise ; and the aggregate return for the kingdom having advanced on Thursday last to 48s. 2d., th e duty receded to 9s. per quarter. Next week it will probably fall another step, and before the end of November the duty is likely to be at the minimum. There was not much doiug in foreign free wheat in the commence ment of the week ; latterly, however, more inclination to purchase has been shown. Several parcels changed hands on Wednesday at rates not previously obtain able, and the business done on Friday was at an en hancetnement of fully Is. per quarter. Wheat in bond is very scarce, the shipments to France having greatly reduced the stock in warehouse; the certainty of the duty receding to 4s. per qr. in a short space of time has caused holders of the little under lock to raise their pretension , , and the prices asked fur bonded have been within 4s. per qr. of what similar qualities would bring free, By the official return just published it appears that there were, on the sth instant, only 47,626 qrs. under lozk in the United Kingdom, of which 14,512 qrs. were held in London. THE FOREIGN CORN TRADE. We have had several arrivals from America this week by packet-ships, the latest bringing New York advices of the Ist of September. The start in the value of wheat here was not then known there, still prices of flour had rather tended upwards in consequence of a falling off in the supplies. Fair qualities of Western Canal were then held at 4d. 12ie. per brl., and there were no sellers of prime Genessee wheat below 90c. per bushel. At Philadel phia, on the 21st ult., flour was rather dull of sale, and fair fresh- ground qualities were then obtainable at 3d. 87 }c. to 4d. per brl. Old red wheat was then held at 80s. to 82c., and new at 70c. to 753. per bushel. From Baltimore we have also accounts of the 31st of August. floward-street flour was then freely offered at 3d. 871-e. to 3d. 90c. per brl., with bit few takers. Wheat had come freely to hand, and prime parcels of red had been sold at 78c. to 80e. per bushel. By our advices from the north of Europe we learn that great excitement had been casued by the advance in the value of wheat in the English markets. From Daetzic we have letters of the 19th of September, which inform us th at about 730 la s t s o f w h eat had changed hands there during the week, consisting mostly of secondary and ordinary qualities. For really fine high-mixed parcels extrava gantly high terms had been asked, say 535. to 555. per qr. ; but fine mixed, of 601bs. to 611b5., had been sold at 50s. to 50s. 6d., and ordinary mixed, weighing 591bs. per bushel, at 475. per qr. free on board. The only articles in which any business had been done, besides wheat, had been rye and p eas ; t h e former had ' found buyers at 395., and the latter at 40s. per qr. The wheat harvest is generally reported to have yielded well in Upper, but indifferently in Lower Poland. The quality of the Upper Polish wheat is described as very fine, and the weight per bushel unusually heavy. The reports from Rostock relative to the result of the wheat harvest are not favourable : the colour of the new wheat is said to be good, but the weight light, say 591bs. per bushel. No supplies had yet been brought forward, nor was it expected that the farmers would bring forward any quantity till the end of October. Stocks of old wheat were, we are informed, nearly ex hausted, and very little business had, consequently, been done. At Stettin, on the 19th inst., holders hardly knew what prices to ask, and 50s. per qr., free on board, had actually been paid at that port for a parcel of old Uckeraiark. The high pretensions of sellers had of course checked business, and but few bargains had been closed during the week. Fair supplies of barley had come to hand, and for fine malting qualities 30s. per qr. had been realised. Vessels were then offering to load wheat to the east coast of Great Britain at 2s. to 2s. 3d., to the British Channel at 2s. 9d., to the west coast at 35., and to the east coast of Ireland at 3s. 3d. per qr. From Hamburg we learn that comparatively little business has been done in wheat since the previous post day, in consequence of the very high terms asked. New red Marks of 601bs. weight had, however, been sold at 50s. 9d.; and for 621 b. parcels 535. per quarter free on board had been obtained. There had been few offers from outports, and no contracts had been closed. Barley to be shipped from. Danish ports had, on the other hand, met with a good deal of attention, at enhanced rates, as much as 255. to 265. per qr. having been paid fur good heavy qualities. In - the southern countries of Europe, wheat is even higher than at Baltic ports; and it is quite evident that no supplies of consequence can reach us from the east ward of Gibraltar. A letter from Odessa, of the 11th Sept., informs us that upwards of 20,000 chests wheat had been brought there on Italian and Greek account; and that equal to 31s. per qr., free on board, had been paid for the best qualities.—Mark-lane Express.

[ADVERTISEMENT.) —C FRE OF A DISEASED ANKLE, OF LONG STANDING, BY HOLLOWAY'S OINTMENT AND PILLS. —The wife of Mr. Bachelor Carpenter, residing for twenty years past at Hampstead, had been lai:1 up for aconsiderable time with a diseased ankle ; tins pain was often almost maddening. By bad treatment, humours settled in her head and other parts, causing incessant and distracting head aches, which had such an effect upon her health that there was every symptom of her constitution breaking up. She had recourse to numerous medical men without obtaining ties least benefit; but, not withstanding, Holloway's Ointment and Pills cured her, and made her as well as ever she was in her life. To be purchased of all who sell medicines, and at Professor Holloway's Establlslunent, 244, Strand, London, COURT OF ALDERMEN. On Tuesday, after the Lord Mayor and Aldermen re turned from the hustings, after tho commencement of the proceedings of the Common Hall on the election for the Mayoralty, a Court of Aldermen was held. THE NEW MAYORALTY. The Sheriffs appeared at the bar to announce to the Court that the Livery had returned to that Court Alder man Thomas Wood and Alderman Sir George Carroll as fit and proper persons to fill the office of Lord Mayor of the City of London, and that a poll had been de manded on the part of Alderman Hooper. Some conversation took place between the members of the Court, which was very numerously attended, on the necessity of demanding a poll on the parts of Aldermen Wood and Sir George Carroll. Alderman HOOPER beggedkto be allowed to state that his name had been proposed at the election without his knowledge or concurrence. It seemed that the gentleman who demanded the poll for him had a right to exercise his privilege as a Liveryman in that way, and that the individual whose name was used had no option—either acquiescence or rejection. All he could say was, that while he looked forward with pleasure to the honour of filling the high office of chief magistrate in due course, he had by no means any wish to anticipate the time by a single hour. Alderman WOOD assured the Court that it was very far from his wish to go the poll. He would not have demanded a poll, whatever might have been the result of -the show of hands. The observations which had passed in the Court on the preceding day, as to the propriety of postponing his candidateship for the office until next year, had considerable weight with him, inasmuch as they manifested the intention of the Court, however favour ably the Livery might think proper to decide respecting his claims. He again declared that he by no means wished to go to the poll, and he regretted very much that any step had been taken to render that course necessary. Some of the members hoped that means could be adopted to prevent the inconvenient and expensive alter native; but it was stated officially, that the poll having been regularly demanded, it must proceed. The matter of the mayoralty having been disposed of, several subjects came before the Court for discussion. In the first place, Alderman HUMPHERY replied to some animadversions of the Morning Chronicle on his magis terial conduct in an affiliation case at Guildhall, and denied that there was the least ground for the charge of levity which had been made against him. On the motion of Sir PETER LAURIE, Sir C. S. Hunter, the father of the City, was excused future attendance upon the several rotas comprehending the laborious duties of the office of Alderman, and there was a unani mous expression of the wish of the Court to have the advice and instruction of the worthy and highly re spected Baronet upon all important occasions connected with their duties. THE LORD MAYOR'S VISIT TO OXFORD. The next matter that came before the Court was the recent visit of the Lord Mayor to Oxford, and the ques tion of payment for the excursion. Alderman WILSON moved, that the Chamberlain be instructed to pay to Mr. Saunders, the water bailiff, the sum of 6231. ss. 9d., for the liquidation of the expenses, for the view of the western district of the river Thames, taken by the Lord Mayor. Sir P. LAURIE objected to the motion, and thought the Chamberlain ought not to pay the amount after the opinions expressed by the Common Council. Alderman H.UMPIIRR Y moved an amendment, to the effect that each gentleman who accompanied the expe dition beyond Staines should pay his own share of the expenses incurred beyond that boundary of the civic jurisdiction. Sir P. LAURIE seconded the amendment. Alderman COPELAND spoke strongly against the amendment, and The Loup MAYOR decided that it could not be put, inasmuch as the members would not compel each other to pay their share of the expenses, and the original ques tion was carried by a majority of 4 to 1.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANS lON-HOUSE. George Moorcombe was brought before the Lord Mayor and Alderman Farebrother, in the custody of John For rester, the officer, charged with having forged a letter of character in the name of Mr. Verschoyle, for the pur pose of imposing upon Sir J. W. Hogg, the chairman of the East India Company. Sir J. W. Hogg said, that on the 21st of September the prisoner applied to him at the East India House for the situation of lady's footman in his family, and stated that he had recently quitted the service of Mr. Robert Verschoyle, who would give him a good character ; that Mr. Verschoyle was at Brighton, and had desired th a t any letter upo n th e su b ject of character should be ad dressed to him at the post-office there. The witness wrote accordingly to the gentleman, touching the charac ter of the prisoner, and received the following answer:— " Sir,—ln answer to your inquiries respecting George I Moorcombe, I beg to say he lived in my establishment as lady's footman for fifteen months ; during that period I always found him sober, honest, willing, and obliging, particularly quiet, and attentive in waiting at table, and also attends a carriage very well. George Moorcombe left me at his own request, and I can with confidence say he is a Devonshir e man. " Trusting I have satisfactorily answered all your in quiries respecting George Moorcombe, never having any fault to find with him,—l remain, Sir, yours obediently, " Brighton, S e pt 22,1846." " R. VERSCHOYLE. Having suspected from the style of the epistle that Mr. Verschoyle had had nothing to do with the com position, witness caused inquiry to be made at the town residence of Mr. Verschoyle, who, he learned, was not at Brighton, and from whom he received the follow ing information : " Maidenhead, Sept. 25. " Dear Sir,--Prior to your letter of this day, I have tilt had any thing from you, and, therefore, the letter you received is a forgery. I have not been in Brighton this year. _ " A man of the name of George Moorcombe did live with mo as footma n for two or three months, when he was dismissed. I a m very glad that your suspicions were aroused, and that you escaped having him in your establishment.—Yours, very faithfully, " ROBERT VERSCIIOYLE. " Sir J. Waiogg." _____ A servant in the establish men t o f "Mr. Verschoy _____ , le proved that the note addressed to Sir J. W. Hogg from Brighton was n o t i n hi s mas t er ' s h andwriting. The LORD MAYOR and Alderman FAREBROTHER con victed the prisoner, and sentenced him to imprisonment and hard labour for three calendar months. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. On Tuesday Honors Murphy, a young Irish woman, complained to Mr. Hardwick that her mistress had opened her box and had taken 71. from a sum of 17/., her savings acquired by honest labour in service. Her mistress had also dismissed her, and had refused to ac count to her for the money thus illegally abstracted. Mr. Hardwick desired a constable to go with the girl to her mistress to see that she was righted, and, in case the mistress would not restore the money, to require her attendance to give an explanation at this Court. Yesterday the parties were in attendance, and the complaint was gone into. Honors Murphy said she had been in the employ of James Morehouse, dairyman, 25, Lisle-street, for about a year and a half. It was her business to deliver milk to the customers, and to pay over to her master or mistress all moneys received by her from the customers. A few days ago her mistress charged her with dishonesty, and insisted on seeing the contents of her box. Her box was opened, and out of a sum of 17/. her mistress took 61. 165., under pretence of the money having been stolen from her. Mr. Edwin, who attended for the defendant, said he would at once admit that his client had taken the money, and in so doing had acted indiscreetly. To show the grounds on which the money had been detained, it would be necessary to state how the grounds of suspicion against the complainant arose. The complainant, about a year and a half ago, was en gaged as servant to deliver milk, at the weekly wages of 3s. 6d., and her board and lodging. At that period she had just come from Ireland, and was without money or decent clothes. Three or four months ago her mis tress, in the belief of the young woman's industry and honesty, raised her wages to 4s. a week without solicita tion. Her mistress, however, for months past had found her money and her takings very unaccountably de crease; indeed, from not being able to make the re ceipts cover the expenditure, although a large and a profitable business was apparently being carried on, it was feared that ruin would ensue. Suspicion was raised against the complainant on Friday last, in consequence of one of the family hearing a considerable quantity of copper money poured by the complainant into her box as soon as she came in from serving the customers. Mrs. Morehouse insisted on searching the complainant's box in the presence of a police-constable. About 171. in money was found, and as the money was principally in shillings and fourpenny-pieces and copper, it was at once conjectured it had been stolen from the business. The complainant, who had supplied herself with an ex cellent stock of clothes, was required to account for the money she had expended in this way. She said she had laid out about 41. of her wages, and that she had re ceived about 141. for her year and a half's wages. Her mistress then said she would allow her to retain 101. out of the money found in her box, and would take the ba lance, as a strong presumption existed that it had been dishonestly acquired. Mr. llAnowicK was of opinion that the money taken from the complainant could not be legally withheld, and therefore he must recommend the mistress to give it up. Mr. Edwin said his client was perfectly ready to do so, but as he was about to offer evidence to show that the money had been embezzled from her master, he hoped the magistrate would allow the officer to hold it until the charges against the girl were brought forward. The girl said all the money found in her box was her savings from the various places in which she had lived. The complainant was then removed from the witness box to the bar. Charlotte Morehouse was then called—She said, after the discovery of the money in the prisoner's box, she went round to the customers, and found that the prisoner had been in the habit of supplying some ready-money customers and not acccunting for the money. In reply to questions from Mr. HARDWICK, this wit ness said, the servants who took out the milk did not re ceive a stated quantity. They took out as much as they chose, and what they brought back was not measured. This plan was adopted to prevent the customers from being cheated by the servants lowering their milk with water. The prisoner said, she had paid her mistress the moneys stated to have been embezzled.—Remanded till Saturday. WORSHIP-STREET. A well-dressed middle-aged man, named James Emery Borth, was placed at the bar before Mr. Brough ton, charged with having unlawfully trespassed upon the line of the Eastern Counties Railway at Shoreditch, and placed his life in imminent danger. Mr. Henry Grimshaw, the station-master, stated that while on duty upon the platform at the terminus, between 8 and 9 o'clock on the preceding evening, just after the arrival of the Ipswich train, he observed the prisoner running along upon all-fours underneath the bodies of the carriages, and immediately ordered one of the com pany's servants to remove him. On being cautioned as to the perilous position i❑ which he had placed himself, and demanding the cause of his so acting, the prisoner replied that he had invented a plan for working the trains upon a far superior system to that at present adopted, and was waiting for the arrival of two friends, whom he expected by the next train, to submit it to the directors. A s this was regarded as only an excuse for his reckless conduct, he was allowed at that time to de part; but in the course of a quarter of an hour after wards, just as the train was moving off the rails he was again discovered opening the doors of several first-class carriages, and but for the instant inter position of one of the officers, he must have been swept beneath the train, and his life sacrificed. On this occa sion the prisoner said that he was in momentary ex pectation of receiving a communication by the electric telegraph of a robbery lately committed at Colchester, in which he was suspected to be implicated; and, as he was evidently labouring under the greatest apprehension and terror, he was given into custody. Sergeant Coleman informed the magistrate, that after the prisoner had been conveyed to the police-station his manner and language were so wild and violent as to leave little doubt of his insanity, and as it was impossible to ascertain anything from him that could be relied upon, his person was searched to endeavour to discover some clue to his relatives, and a packet of letters found in his pocket, from one of which it appeared that he had formerly been in the service of an ironmonger named Shave, in the High-street, Braintree, and from several others, which were couched in terms of the warmesl affection, that he had been for some time past paying his addresses to a young woman in the establishment of a gentleman residing at Whip's Cross, Walthamstow. On being called upon for his defence, the prisoner, who was perfectly tranquil, but still exhibited symptoms of an absence of self-control, said.he was aware he had been frequently suffering from attacks of mental de rangement, and he could only account for the extraor_ ordinary and dangerous conduct imputed to him by sup posing that he must have been labouring under the influence of one of these afflictions upon this occasion, as the reasons he had given to the first witness for his being in the position in which he was detected were nearly without foundation. Mr. BROUGHTON said he considered it would be wholly unsafe to entrust the prisoner with his liberty in the present state of his mind, and he should therefore order him to be committed to prison for a week, to afford the officers an opportunity of procuring the attendance in town of some of his relations, who would be answerable for his future security. THAMES. William Harrison, a young man, who was stated to be a solicitor's clerk, and who, as far as his exterior appear ance went, appeared to be in good circumstances, was brought before Mr. Ballantine charged with assaulting a police-constable named Thomas Barnes, No.BB H, in the execution of his duty. The policeman stated that at a late hour on Tuesday night he was removing some disorderly prostitutes, and the prisoner interfered with him, and said they were respectable married women, and and he should not take them. He begged him to desist and go away, on which the prisoner struck him severely on the breast, and said if he dared to molest the women he would do for him. His conduct was extremely violent, and he was com pelled to take him into custody. The prisoner was in a state of intoxication at the time. The prisoner,lwho was greatly agitated, said he was respectably connected, and only came from the country on Tuesday, and drank more than he ought to have done. He was extremely sorry for what he had done, and he would be the last man to interfere with the police if he was sober. He was subject to fits, and had been attacked with several that morning, in consequence of his imprisonment. Mr. - BALLANTnin said he did not care for the prisoner's sorrow. It came too late. His feeling was, if the police were not protected from assaults like these, no respect able man would join the force. lle would protect the police when they did right, but when they did wrong he would not save them from the consequences. He re gretted that the prisoner was subject to infirmities, but that must not save him, and he sentenced him to seven days' imprisonment in the House of Correction. The prisoner said, if the sentence was carried into effect, he should be ruined, for his employer had parti cular occasion for his services, and expected him to be at his business that morning. He begged of the magistrate to recollect he was subject to fits. Mr BALLANTINE would not alter his sentence, and said the surgeon of the House of Correction would take care of him. The prisoner immediately fell down in a fit, and was carried away by a gaoler and a police-constable. It was some time before he was recovered, and he continued very ill for an hour afterwards. The magistrate gave some directions to the gaoler concerning him. About two hours afterwards Mr. Pelham, the solicitor, made an application to Mr. Ballantine on the prisoner's behalf, and said he was labouring under severe illness. In this case ho did not mean to deny that the prisoner was a fit subject of punishment, but he thought the application of the summum fUS would be summa injuria. The young man was a solicitor's clerk, who had never offended be fore, and was convicted of an assault upon a policeman, not under circumstances of aggravation, and he had ex pressed the utmost contrition. The prisoner was in a very unsound state of health, and subject to hysterical fits, and had been seized with one as he was leaving the dock. An imprisonment would be very detrimental to the health of the young man, and as the assault did not arise from any ill-feeling, and as no mischief was done, he did hope that a fine would be substituted for the im prisonment. Mr. BALLANTINE said he was very painfully circum stanced in this case. Ho saw the younr, man fall di rec tly after he had i n fli cte d h is sentence, and ' he felt great pain at his situation, but he had come to a conclusion upon his offence before that; he had come to as mild a deter mination as possible under the circumstances, and after that he found he was ill. It was very afflicting, but he could not help it. The judges who tried cases of more importance very frequently saw similar instances of illness, and very painful sights in court, but ho was ..=. ce not aware th e y ever a l tered their sentences in con sequence. Air. Pelham—The unfortunate young man is in a state of great nervous excitability; perhaps that, sir, would induce you to relax in your determination. I make this application at the request of his friends, who are highly respectable, and will pay any fine you may think proper to inflict. Mr. BALLANTINE was acquainted with the prisoner's illness, and bad given directions to Roche, the gaoler, about it. He had no right to fine the young man after he had sentenced him to imprisonment, and the respec tability or poverty of his friends would make no im pression upon him in the slightest degree. He had come to a certain conclusion upon the case and he had no right to alter it. Mr. P.elham quite agreed with the magistrate, that the same justice should be meeted out to rich and poor. The public press at the present time were very properly demanding an equalisation of punishments, and an im mense deal of good had been effected, but he did not think any portion of the world could possibly object to the magistrate relaxing the severity of the law in a case like this. He know the public press did look upon those cases with considerable jealousy, and that commutations of offcnoes like this were upon the whole objectionable, but he hoped the magistrate would temper justice with mercy. Mr. BALLANTINE hoped that he had done so. The public press said and did what it liked, but he was never influenced either by its censure or its praise. All men liked praise better than censure, and he was not suck a slave to his own opinion as to treat censure with indif ference ; but he neither courted nor feared the press in reference to anything he did while he was doing his duty. He was not insensible to the valuable agency of the press, but he did his duty, as he trusted, honestly and fearlessly, without any regard to ulterior consi derations. Mr. Pelham was quite satisfied no magistrate acted more independently than the one he had the honour of addressing, or more to the public satisfaction ; and no public functionary had less to fear from public opinion. Mr. BALLANTINE—I have done with the case and hope I shall hear no more o f i t. I should be glad if I could relieve this young man, but I cannot. It is due to the public as well as to the police that the constables should be protected. Nothing has been so painful to me as the condition of the young man whose cause you advocate. I have thought of it, and nothing else since, but I won't allow my feelings to interfere with my duty, and I will not alter the sentence. RAILWAY SHARE MARKETS. MANCHESTER, SEPTEMBER 30.

MATRIMONIAL HoAx.—A matrimonial hoax has, it appears, been played off at Stony Stratford, where some mischief-loving people replied to an advertisement which appea re d i n a S un d ay paper, and a long corres pondence, indu ce d th e w if e an d fortune-hunting meetinadver tiser to parad e hi mse lf i n t h e town in the hope his supposed lady-eorre s p o n d en t. A letter o fr , om_ the g neighbourhood th us d escr ib es t h e denouement , Some what nervous did the principals in the affair feel when, ',bout nine o'clock, they saw standing at the hall door of the hotel their correspondent personated by a rather gigantic figure, at least six feet one inch high, of very muscular frame, and with a mien and appearance calcu lated to bear out a sentence in one of his letters, that he never in his life submitted to an insult from a gentle man.' However, there he was, there th e y h ad called him ; and they (however falsely) expressed to each other their intense happiness at seeing him, though at a little distance. Breakfast over, with brandy before and after the repast, to stimulate him, the gentleman made a circuit of the town to reconnoitre, after which the hour being at hand, lie proceeded to the place appointed for ' meeting. This was on the road from the town to the railway station, from whence, if by any fortuitous occur rence the lady was prevented meeting him, he was to re pair to the house of her milliner, where she would await him. Having shown himself on the promenade for two hours, during which time he was watched and passed occasionally by the promoters of the hoax, the hero pro , ceeded to the house of the milliner, who, not being in the secret, of course knew nothing of any lady having made an appointment at her house. Suspicions now flashed upon him. He made the post- office his next call, to inquire who had been in the habit of sending for the letters addressed there, when the post-mistress told all she could of the mysterious correspondence. Then the gentleman's ire boiled over, then he betook himself to brandy, and after that to the suspected parties, threaten ' ing the vengeance of the law, and the aid of the police, if the writer and the letters were not given up. He was only laughed at, although each person applied to repu diated the authorship of any correspondence with him. By this time the affair was all over the town; the place became overwarm for him; his acquaintances were too numerous and disagreeable, and he was glad to avoid them, which he did, by leaving by the next omnibus, threatening that the Post -office authorities, and all par ties suspected, should hear of him again and speedily." —Bedford Mercury. LOCOMOTIVE COOKING.—O ne day last week a pas senger-train, proceeding from Preston to Kirkham, ran through a covey of partridges, and caught one of them lying in the cinder-box. As the train proceeded, a sa voury odour arose from the fowl undergoing the of roasting, a s it l ay i n the cinder -box under the bas e of the engine fire. Arriving at Kirkham, tbe fireman stepped down t o see how the unspitted partridge was going on, and finding that it was cooked on one side only turned it over. On arriving at Poulton ho again in spected the delectable prize, and found it perfectly cooked. At Fleetwood, the engine -driver and fireman sat down to a " sumptuous repast," consisting of the partridge roasted in its feathers, without the least dress ing, and which they declare was really delicious. AN AGREEABLE STRANGER AND THE ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.—A respectable gentleman of Torquay, wishing to pay Teignmouth a visit, accordingly took coach for that purpose on Thursday last, and was agree ably surprised, on being seated, to find that he had a most pleasant and gentlemanly companion to travel with, but who was unfortunately going to Exeter, which was mutually regretted, as otherwise luck could have pointed out to each something new about the approaching water ing place. The conversation became interesting and animated, and by the time each had told his story Teign mouth presented itself sooner than expected or desired. On their arrival the train was quite ready to start, and our Torquay friend, to prove how much he respected his new acquaintance, actually went and saw him off; but on returning, he having occasion for his purse, found it was gone. He acquainted Mr. Telegraph, who told his twin brother in Exeter, and he, on the train's arri, sent a policem an an d h a d the agreeable strap placed in safe cust o dy, t h e purse being found on hi ger port Telegraph. RESOURCES FOR MANNING THE FLEET. The Ad miralty arc most busily occupied in devising measures for efficiently and most speedily man n i ng emergency. Th ere are employed in the service of the the fleet on an coast guard no l ess than 3,998 able be men, under 45 years of age , w h o have been the best seamen of the fleet, and from such recommendation, and that of being of unexceptionable character, they have, as a matter of favour, b een enrolled in the coast guard service. The Admiralty are in possession of the returns, and will doubtless have the disposal of this force, subject to just restriction, vested in their Lordships. SHOCKING BRUTALITY.—On the night of Monday week, a valuable milch cow, belonging to the Rev. Mr. Green, of South Otterington, near Northallerton, was severely stabbed and cut by some wretch ; and on Sun day night last a useful farm-horse, belonging to Mr. E. Squire, of Romanby, near Northallerton, was taken from a field into a lane adjoining, and killed by cutting its throat; another horse, belonging: to a person at Carlton Minot, near Thirsk, had its throat cut, but not eff Ttually. The perpetrator of those deeds is supposed to be the same person who killed a valuable mare by cutting its throat belonging to Mr. John Pickersgill, of Northallerton, about three weeks ago. Every exertion is making to find out the perpetrator. These shocking deeds, and the recent destruction of the corn stacks be longing to Mr. Caver, of Bagby, near Thirsk, supposed to be the work of an incendiary, have caused a deep sensation amongst the farmers and owners of out-door ' property in the vicinity of Thirsk and Northallerton.— Newcastle Guardian. A dreadful fire took place on the 15th at the Hotel de la Couronne, at Tavannes, in Switzerland. There were thirty travellers in bed at the time, and six of them, amongst whom were M. Kern, a magistrate of Strasburg, and his wife, perished in the flames. Four teen others were more or less injured in effecting their escape. WORKS by ROBERT J.

" How we should live—what eat, what drink, what shun, Ti reach in health full threescore years andt en." These interesting little volum es, although bearing upon subjects O f very delicate import, as their titles imply, will be found of immer surable and general utility, for they tell of matters every living crew' • ture able to understand ought to know, but which information 10 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 e, nature, of human disappoint ments and their ways of relief, it is not contended that every reader shall become his or her own physiclr o any more than their own lawyer, but it is insisted upon that W e should knew the simple principles of our own organization, the laid whereby our existence and the issue thereof in their several health'', states depend, the duties that are expected of us la our individni.. capacities in the family circle, an d th e t erms on which the health Wig happiness of the present and future race of mankind have to rely. , By such knowledge, an d w hi c h i s herein faithfully impart health will be found to be in our own keeping, and happined o within the attainment of all ; by the availment hereof in our daty to ourselves, we secure the line advantages oa our MYSP I44 ,_ to follow, and finally by the cultivati on o f our faculties, which is 1 1'; consistent with degenerate health, the mind as well as the body sfal be exalted to the summit of perfection, as best becomes the big of God's creations.
