Woomicit, AUGUST 22.—The Royal Victoria and Albert yacht is expected round from Portsmouth to Woolwich, to embark her Majesty and Prince Albert at this port about the Ist of next month, and the Queen and his Royal High ness will land at Aberdeen this year, being the nearest port to her Majesty's Highland residence at Balmoral, adjoining the forests of Braemar. The embarkation at Woolwich, in stead of from the Isle of Wight, will save a night at sea. The Resistance troop-ship arrived at Quebec on the 28th of July, with the head-quarters of the 79th Regiment of Cameron Highlanders on board, under the command of Lieutenant-Colonel the Honourable Lauderdale Maule, from Gibraltar. The corps is a fine body of men, 550 rank and tile, the age of the men averaging 25 years; and a draft from the depot will shortly join at Quebec. The 79th relieves the 93d regiment of 'Sutherland Highlanders, and the latter embarked in the Resistance, homeward bound, on the Ist of August, and sailed on the same evening for Portsmouth. The strength of the 93d is 2 field officers, 4 captains, 6 subalterns, 3 on the staff, 30 sergeants, 23 corporals, 7 drum. mers, and 378 privates, under the command of Lieut.-Colonel Spark ; 72 women and 90 children accompany the regiment. The magistrates of Quebec, previous to the departure of the corps, presented a very highly complimentary address to the officers and men, approving of the assistance they at all times received from them, and the remarkably good conduct of the men during the time they were stationed in Quebec. Lieut.- Colonel Spark returned thanks. APPOINTMENTS.

Smith, to the Raleigh. Naval Cadets —E. A. Stubbs, C. H. Williams, and H. C. Lloyd, to the Southampton ; A. Curwen, to- the Home, 120 guns, in the Mediterranean ; E. Tonge and C. D. Davies, to the Stromboli steam-sloop, at Cork. A large number of volunteers for the Southampton frigate arrived at Chatham, from the Southern and Western ren dezvous on Sunday. The Princess Charlotte, 104 guns, is ordered to be taken into dock at Portsmouth, and repaired immediately. It is reported she is to be fitted with a screw-propeller, without being cut down. Rear-Admiral Sir Charles Napier, K.C.8., having arrived at Cork from Kingstown in the Stromboli steam sloop on the 19th, and hoisted his flag on board the St. Vincent, 120, was waiting the arrival of the Tweed, 18, from Waterford, and the Pilot, 14, from Youghal. It was expected that they would join him on the 20th ; and on the 21st he was to pro ceed with the St. Vincent, 120; Prince Regent, 90; Belle rophon, 78 ; Tweed, 18 ; Helena, 16 ; Frolic, 16; Pilot, 12 ; Amphion, 34, screw steam - friga te ; Stromboli steam-sloop; and Lucifer steam-vessel; on a cruise ten degrees south-west of Cape Clear, to try rate of sailing. After trying the sloops, he was to dispatch them to their respective destinations, and return to Spithead after a fortnight's absence, and wait fur ther orders. The Recruit, 8, screw-schooner, it was expected, would follow the squadron. She had been delayed in having to set up her rigging afresh. The Dauntless screw frigate has been taken alongside the Blake hulk at Portsmouth, and had her sails bent. She was to have gone out yesterday to try her engines and speed, ander the temporary charge of Commander Stevens, of the Blenheim. If the Dauntless is found to answer, she will be forthwith coppered and fitted for commission. When brought into dock the other day she had no less than three different tog lines wound round her screw. The Tortoise guard-ship and depot, Captain Hulton, at the Island of Ascension, is coming to England, having sustained serious damage by the fires that have on three occasions taken place on board by the spontaneous ignition of the coal. The Hermes steam-sloop is ordered from Devonport to Portsmouth to embark supernumeraries, parcels, &e., for the ships and vessels of Sir Charles Napier's exercising squa dron, whom she will put on board before that force sails from Cork. THE COMMAND AT PORTSMOUTII.-Admiral of the Blue, Sir Thomas Capel, K.C.8., is nominated to succeed Admiral Sir C. Ogle in the chief command at the above station, and we are informed is accepted by her Majesty to fill that post. sir Thomas and Lady Capel will visit Portsmouth on Tuesday next, to look round the establishment and make a few preliminary arrangements. The let of October is the day named for the blue flag to supersede the ted one at the mast-head of the Victory, the established flag-ship for Portsmouth. STEAM ON TURNPIKE ROADS. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. REsrEcrEn Fnittrfp,—l observe in your paper of the 16th instant, a letter signed by " C. 'Weeks, Civil Engineer," in which he intimates (alluding to a letter of mine that previously appeared in your journal) that it wouldhave been desirable if I had stated details, so as to have enabled persons to form a m r v e e s , more r correct t e opinion r o b f g e t h . e r o ln r be ply, p s e u r e n c l e i t s n o e f t S o ir oi .l , s a e that as it is probable in a few weeks an actual trial will be male, this will be better than the most elaborate description of details, or the most perfect theoretical deductions. I will, therefore, only add, that I consider, one of _the greatest and most important improvements made by Sir J. Anderson is the fact of having adopted oscillating cylinders. C. W., however, in the absence of the desired information, and with out knowing how far Sir J. Anderson's improvements were likely to meet his views as to what he considered essential to success, never theless affirms that Sir J. Anderson has n ot accomplished , these objects; upon what data he founds his conclusions lamat a loss to conjecture. C. W. further con tends that it is most important to reduce the friction in the engine rather than on the surface of the road ; but in this I u on and consequent cause of c l on c c oa s t s e i nd , it is most im portantfriction on t of rails and tramway sufficiently proves. C. W. si t, road, which the past experience locomotive railways, which strong doubts, for reasons which it is not needful now to o t o r ehbdeeaugscue surface plan the e e e o t c ff o i t ot i t r i h l state. But what appears to me extraordinary is, that he thinks may succeed, of which I entertain very C. W. seems to overlook the most important part of my former observations, viz., the circumstance of laying on the middle or side of the road timber or other tracks which would render unnecessary an extraordinary attention to springs, &c. In order to enable him and your readers to form some opinion thereon, permit me briefly to explain the mode of construction I should propose if timber-tracks were determined upon. Wood-paving has hitherto been unsuc cessful principally on account of a want of a sufficiently firm base to prevent the blocks sinking below each other, to remedy which I propose to construct angular troughs 15 , to 18 feet long, with planking two inches thick, say 18 inches wide at the top, and nine inches deep in the middle, and then to fill the interior with suitable angular blocks, the upper surface of these blocks to be the end way of the grain, and the wood, which may be either beech or elm—the former would perhaps be the best—the blocks may be cut so as to avoid waste of material. These tracks I apprehend may be made fit for laying down complete at from 3s. to 43. m . m im or m e " th e that[ e h aan iron. prevent h . o a the the possibility Edinburgh o f an per yard run—these tracks to be embedded in and flush with the surface of the road, with proper concrete,`, which would abo render ut 3 t unequal surface. On such tracks as these 1 estimate the traction or friction not to exceed 12Ibs. per ton, which is Dalkeith Railway, which was for many years worked by horses, the allowance for one horse was to draw forty pas sengers at ten miles per hour. d 1, therefore, imagine that on these tracks one horse would raw at least thirty passengers at the same speed; thus allowing that Telford and Sir H. Parnel were correct in stating that on a rail or perfect track on the surface of the road, r same undulating, one horse would draw as much as fire or six : and , consequently, as far as regards horse-power, the usual charge of 2d. and 3d. per mile made by coaches on turnpike.roads, might be reduced to one halfpenny and three farthings per mile, and still afford a reasonable profit. Bat with steam-power the profit would be large indeed, which the following statement will exhibit. I estimate Sir James Anderson's engine to be equal, at moderate working, to eight horses, and therefore it will be fully equal (even without tracks) to convey, on such a road as from Hyde-park to Hounslow (ten miles), at least forty passengers. But let us imagine the tracks laid, and the engine (though capable of drawing three times the number) yet confine it to 40 each trip, and that it makes 10 trips per day, the account would stand thus : a respectfullyl ludes t .. ... £lO 0 0 MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, OVAR7'I , 77I' 7'o THREE. There was a heavy market for Cotton at Liverpool yes terday. Sales 3,500 bales. American sorts realised 3%d. to b 3 Ad. per lb. In Railway Shares a fair business was done, and the market was steady. An improvement took place in Midland. In grain there has been a steady business done to-day at Monday's prices. The state of uneasiness felt at Paris for some days past, and the extraordinary disclosures made in the report of the Committee upon the insurrection, is represented in private letters from ranee as having an exceedingly irjurieus in fluence upon credit, and as retarding materially the indica tions of improvement which were previously observable in many quarters. The finances of the Government, any more than those of individuals, cannot be ex pected to prosper under such circumstances, and it is obviously nothing but the improved political aspect of affairs, and the cordial understanding with Eng land, that causes the French funds to be as well supported as they are. The value of an alliance between the two nations is appreciated likewise on this side of the Channel, and in despite of the many unfavourable circumstances that exist, has served to buoy up the money market. The foreign exchanges were not yesterday afternoon supported at the previous rates, less being given for the pound sterling, except upon Paris. The decline, no doubt, is partially the result of operations commenced in the corn trade for importations from abroad, which, under any circumstances, will be needed, and there is much interest to be attached to the consideration of how far our wants will extend. As yet, the bullion reserves of the Bank have been very little reduced, the quantity of specie received from North and South America, and various other places having furnished a portion of the amount exported, and the further arrival of half a million sterling from Russia, has likewise proved a seasonable aid. From the currency debate of last night there is not mach to be gleaned, as our merchants and capitalists appear to conceive, except that the advocates of restriction. are as ob stinate as before, and that to obtain any modification of the Act, a decided and general expression of opinion in trading circles will be necessary to induce any action on the part of the Legislature. It may be useful to remind parties interested that the next Paris and Lyons Railway call will be due on the sth of October, and that from that date to October 1849, 250 francs per share will have to be paid. The English Funds have been firmer to-day, but there has been very little business doing. Consols have been 86 to 8648 for Transfer, and 86 to 86 1 4 for Account. Exchequer bills of June have realised 225. to 255. premium. Bank Stock is 196 to 197 1 ,8 The Foreign Investments are exceeding heavy. Mexican bonds have been 16% to 16%, and Brazilian 72. Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. have been 44 to lA. Railway Shares are rather better on the whole than they were yesterday. Caledonian have been flatter, however, at 22N to 23 1 ; and Great Southern and Western of Ireland are not so good. Great Western are higher, and also Mid land,North-British, and South-Western.

TO THE SECRETARY OF THE BRADFORD REFORM ASSOCIATION. Sir,—On Monday, the 21st, the two principal points brought under discussion by the proceedings of the day were the vote of 9,8271., with the prospect of being 14,0001., for the government of Labuan, and the votes for the Commission Courts and other expenses on the coast of Africa. It is undeniably a perilous thing if hopes are to be held out to every ambitious yachter who may play the " Illus trious Stranger" with very doubtful morality in an Indian island, of seeing himself established with 2,0001. a year as Governor and 500/. a year as Consul, whether there is anybody for him to rule over or no. A. Judge also is appointed, at a considerable salary, and it is admitted without equivocation, that there is nobody to judge. and consequently to govern. One Member in favour of the proceeding, announced in round terms, that the end was to be the taking possession of Borneo. This is the upshot of all admissions of "Illustrious Strangers." It was stated too for the defence, that, merchants in London strongly urged the measure. • I wonder what they would not urge, when they are to have the chances of what may come of it, and the public is to pay. The debate on the African expenses was memorable for the first distinct enunciation of the demand of the West Indians, viz. to bo allowed to go to the coast of Africa, and purchase nogroes where they can get them. It was brought out, quaintly enough, by the admission of the Government that two vessels sent to the coast of Africa for volunteers, only brought one boy between them. It is natural enough it should be so. Imagine that after Europeans had been for centuries in the habit of looking on Algiers as the seat ofa slavery worse than death, two Algeriue vessels had been sent to the coast of Spain or Italy for the purpose of inviting volunteers. Where upon stand up members of the Algerine Divan and say, " Since these people will not come when they are asked, we shall be ill-used Mussulmen if not allowed to go and take them where we can get them." This is a literal transcript of what we heard on Monday. And then a quaker stands up, and protests against the English people being made to pay " for philan thropic objects in which they have no concern." If I was speaking to your fathers, I should say it was because they had a concern. There was a time when the restoration of the slave trade would have set the West Riding in a flame. But we all know better now. We have found out that a philanthropic object hich does not touch a man's pocket, or touches it the wrong way, is no concern of his. What, then, is philanthropy? On Tuesday, the perpetual Sugar. Lord George Ben tinck repeated his proposal of a clause with the purpose of removing inequalities under which the British refiners are represented to lie, as compared with the Dutch; and many of what are known as the Free Traders voted with him, in spite of a damaging speech from a former Chan cellor of the Exchequer, which might be supposed aimed r at re m e ix T i r n a g de th rs e cqauaelsdt noto n w b e i t e h x o p t e h e e t e r d m t a o t t a e g r r s e e o . n T w h h e i c o il a t u h s e a was finally lost by 73 against 40. On re -assembling, the House was surprised by the ap parition of a Currency Debate. The object on such occa sions appears to be, to give vent to a certain quantity of talk, and then by declining going to a division, to avoid g iving any absolute measure of substantial result of the night's de bate, stren w gt a h s . the T v h i e go o r n ou ly s declaration of Sir Robert Peel, of his determination to maintain the integrity of his Law of 1844 in despite of the Lords' Report; in which he was supported by the cheers of both sides of the House. I am, Sir, your obedient servant, T. PERRONET THOMPSON. Blackheath, London, Aug. 23, 1848. ---- TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sin,—There is one little mistake in Perronet Thompson's bulletin of the House of Commons issued yesterday, viz. — " That the fact of a man's going to one univ ersit y in prefe rence to the other is proof that the value of the two degrees is not in his eyes the same." The comparative value of the degree can have no influence in sending a Dissenter to Cam bridge, inasmuch as he knows that he cannot obtain it. It is the course of instruction pursued, the habits cultivated , the associations enjoyed, and the prospect of honours h eld out theirn ern religious i to competitors in a genuine struggle, which draw men of talent and industry to the schools of a (to them) heterodox theologyb ' , No light testimonial this to the working of a ! 3w a•istrthleimu its which pale certain fvolunteer brightest f f tdissent whoin Parliament g a i o r are s tenets condemnin g are ex wholesale,—that s i t substantial honours. I do think, Sir, that if the old universities are able to 1 I' ngland maintain for themselves a shall be has some ri paid to the feeditlin character like this, the Church of to demand that as much respect as to the outcry of a a of her millions concerning themi section which s has shown itself unable,, even ii ith State assistance, to pi u r r t por in any position of dig-, g fo a rd aln'id;eeSambrcid this age is progressive,. n ai i7 t o a pi s n i i n o g n l s e at co o ll x e acknowledge, undergoing modifications a :i s e n , i a t cc is o r n d o an s c h e an Vh °' . l. midi i ni wantingst r a t i everywhere, on t o h f e a re liitle-i ti e e fo ss r , m af i t s er fe t l l t le to ad b m e n t i i i.: ant, in the . :ihape of an examination by commission into ' doubtless, secrets ou of common-room, hebdomadal, and capitular prison -houses, shall have steps taken in the direction demanded by, not ses ; we ty clamour, but common sense. We do not want, however, P any r' of that violent interference from without, which would coi menze by w ithdrawing from certain professors—those, too, w hose lectures are attended; for I ma y mention that, at! Ox ford, attendance on those, e. g., of the Regius Professor of Divinity is required of candidates for orders graduating here, by nearly every English Bishop—the stipends which hay: , secured their services, the payment of which is a national debt of honour, and to repudiate which would be a national disgrace. What we want , Sir, is new blood, not bleeding. I wish that Perronet Thompson and the world would un derstand the difference between educating and examining. With respect to the former, though averse to the exaction of any subscription to creed or articles, with damnatory clauses above all, from anybody save those who profess a Divine call to propagate them, I cannot help thinking that every system of education is imperfect which doe s not comprise some reli gious teaching—leaving the amount digested, of course, to he determined by the inherent vitality of the doctrine taught, the persuasive powers of the teacher, and the capacity, or (I write hastily) the swallow of the catechumen. It is this which has secured the confidence of a religious people in the systems pursued at our ancient schools and universities—the former, with the exception of King Edward the Sixth's at Birmingham, too often forgotten in the argument from expe rience. It is the want of this which has damped the fires of e'incational life in the establishment in Gower-street; and " cribbed, cabined, and confined . ' the talents of its brilliant. professorial staff; for parents, after all, are shy of sending sons to "godless colleges." But in examination the case is entirely different, though it is generally, with ignorant care lessness or studied obliquity, confounded with that of educa tion. A paper of questions on Ancient History, Poetry, or Philoscpby, drawn up by a man of one sect, and audited by men of two or three others, from its necessary liberality, will be unable to instil any objectionable doctrine, or insult any prejudices by its insinuations. A paper on the Differential Calculus might be drawn up as well and as harmlessly by a Jesuit from Stonyhurst as by an Independent from Homerton College. 1)e Morgan, Francis Newman, and Dr. Wiseman, thcugh they could not teach the same set of men their re spective subjects long without clashing—the ungovernable, restlessness of sectarianism, which is peculiar to no sect, would not let them for ever pretermit their opportunities Of pro selytizing—might sit for ever and draw up examination papers, and look over the answers, with the unanimity of a board of what dear Sidney would call " your regular thirty nine times articled clerks." how is it then. Sir that the godless examinations at So merset-house are thought as little of by the body of English students as the godless education in Gower-street? Give this question a place in your paper, and I will answer it in a day or two myself. FREDERICK WILLIAM GREEN , (Oriel College, Oxford). 7, Clapton-equare, Hackney, Aug. 22, 1848. IRELAND. DUBLIN, TUESDAY MORNING.—Tie Lord Chancellor has issued the following important order, with a v i ew t o the im provement of the vast estates under the control of the Cottif of Chancery, and the bettering of the condition "of the te nantry. Such a reformation has long been required, but it will be necessary to follow up this orderby otherchanges in the management of property in Chancery, which has been, chiefly on account of the shortness of the tenure, abont the worst managed in the whole country:— "LN LUNACY. "August 21st, 1848. ' " It is ordered by the Lord Chancellor that, in the letting of lands, the property of lunatics or idiots, the masters, committees, and receivers shall have regard to the previ sions of the 23d and 24th sections of the statute 11 George IV., and 1 Wm. IV., cap. 65, and that, unless in special cases, and on special grounds to be approved of by the Lord Chancellor, no lease of such lands shall be made dependent on the duration of the matter of such lunacy or idiotcy, but every such lease shall be made for some certain term, so far as the estate and powers of the lunatic or idiot will admit. it appearing to the Lord Chancellor that it will be for the benefit of the estates of such lunatics or idiots that the leases thereof should have such certainty of duration; and such term shall not in any case be less than twenty-one years, unless otherwise specially ordered; and every euch lease, where the Master shall not otherwise direct, shall contain proper clauses, to be approved of by him, for pre venting the assignment or sub-letting of the lands demised, in addition to the other clauses and covenants to be inserted therein, pursuant to the present general orders. " MAZIERE BRADY, C." Mr. John Martin, since receiving sentence of ten years' transportation on Saturday, has remained in the department of Newgate allotted to convicts. It was manifest, from his hectic appearance on Saturday, that the unfortunate gen tleman has been suffering from some pulmonary affection. Yesterday afternoon Sir Philip Crampton, surgeon -general, and other medical gentlemen, visited Mr. Martin in the prison, for the purpose of ascertaining the state of his health, and reporting the result of their inquiry to the Go vernment. It was stated last week that Mr. Smith O'Brien retained Mr. Whiteside, Q.C., for his defence in the prosecu tion fur high treason. He has, we believe, also secured the professional aid of Mr. Jonathan Henn, Q.C. Mr. Duffy has retained Mr. Butt, Q.C., who defended the state prisoners at the late commission. The weather is now fine once more. The rain ceased yesterday afternoon, and appearances are now somewhat better. ARRIVAL OF THE STATE PRISONERS IN BELFAST. About half-past twelve o'clock to-day (Saturday) the Go vernment screw steamer Trafalgar, landed fourteen of the state prisoners at Dunbar's Dock, where a large attendance of police, with Mr. Jenkins, R.M., at their head, waited their arrival. The quay was densely thronged with spectators, but no word expressive of feeling, pro or con, escaped from the crowd. They entered the prison van, and were escorted to the new gaol by a few police and a troop of the Carbi • neers. The crowd followed the van a short distance from the quay, but the driver having received orders to move quicker, drove off at a rapid pace, and left the spectators behind. The prisoners, with one exception, are young men of manly appearance and robust constitution, looked the personation of good health, and seemed quite cheerful. They came in charge of Sub-Inspector Mathew and seven policemen.— Belfast Vindicator. In the House of Correction (says the Belfast Chronicle) the prisoners are privileged to remain during the day in a large room together, but at night each one retires to a cell all tted to himself. They are supplied with writing mate ri ils, we understand, and have, therefore, the liberty of cor responding with their friends, the letters of course, subject to a rigorous surveillance. The corps of officers belonging to the house have been strengthened by the addition of a sergeant's guard of the 13th -regiment. LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, August 22. (Before Mr. COEVIISSIONER HOLEOYD.) IN RE G. W. at. REYNOLDS. The certificate of the bankrupt, a Chartist leader, and author of various works, was opposed by Mr. Duncan, on behalf of Mr. Wilton, a creditor, fur 401. The bankrupt was supported by Mr. Sturgeon. The debts were 2,600/. ; the asects about 2601. The bankrupt examined-Had been a bankrupt in 1840. Paid nothing. The debts were only 1201. Had been bank rupt in Paris in 1835 or 1836. In 1837 was insolvent in England ; also again in 1839. Had several thousand pounds when he began in Paris an English newspaper. Had paid 6s. Bd. in the pound on his French debts; and it was the liability on the French debts that occasioned his subsequent difficulties in England. Earned 500/. a year by his pen ; his expenses had not been more than that sum. Had sold Mr. Spokes copies of " Wallace," " Catiline," &c., for 70/. Con tracted to sell him 2,000 volumes for this sum. Obtained his acceptances for the same, but had not sent in the books, being unable to do so, except about 34/. worth. Spokes gave him the bills to assist him in executing the order. On the eve of bankruptcy he offered his creditors 20/. per month. A few creditors held out, and he was compelled to come to this court. Had duplicate stereotype plates of two of his works sent, in 1846 and 1847, to Mr. Williams, of Boston, in America. Received 1001. for them, which sum is entered in his balance-sheet. Had sold nothing but some old stereo type plates just before his bankruptcy. Sold them for 141., to Messrs. Figgins, type-founders. There were not tons weight of it, and they were not sold at 12/. per ton. They were old plates of " Reynolds's Miscellany." At the time 0f the bankruptcy he held the copyright of the " Miscellany,' and fourteen others of his works. These were all sold to Mr. Cooke, an engraver, of Kentish-town, for 151. Does not know that 1501. bad been since offered for the copyright of "Reynolds's Miscellany" alone. . Mr. Davis, solicitor to the assignees of the bankrupt, here objected to this inquiry. It was, he urged, a matter for the official assignees. His HONOUR decided that the examination must proceed.. Examination continued-The sale of the " Mis cellan y ' had been 20,000. It fell to 10,000, and was worth nothing. It had since been enlarged by Mr. Cooke, and lie (bankrupt) was now writing for it. Mr. Cooke was an old friend of his. Has known him ten or twelve years. Cooke had never brought an action against him. Dlr. Strong, of Crown-court, is bankrupt's official assignee. Strong has since been applied t) to stereotype his " Miscellany." He (the bankrupt) had kept books. In April Mr. Cuthbertson had put in an execu tion for a debt of about 9C1., for furniture and clothes. Has known Mr. Cuthbertson four or five years, and has paid him 20W. Went and told him he was in difficulties. Cuthbert son then commenced proceed'ngs, and afterwards put in an execution. Did not plead to the action. The property Cutli hertson seized was valued at about 160/. Knows a Mr. Daly. He borrowed 20/. from him, and had given him stereotype plates as security. James William Spokes examined-Is a .trade valuer, re siding at 393, Strand. The bankrupt's house was well fur nished. The furniture and books were worth 2201. Is a creditor for 55/. Has not proved. Has sold by auction large quantities of bankrupt's books. On the 11th of March pur chased of bankrupt 2,000 volumes for 70/. 16s. Bd. Mr. Deekes (bankrupt's managing man) said be could have them immediately. Afterwards ascertained that many of them were out of print, and only succeeded in getting 271. worth. Gave payment for the 70/. in three bills> and is TIOW being sued for them by Mr. Cox, the printer. The bankrupt had never perfected any one engagement. Bankrupt had told Win that he treated the opposition about to be offered this day with scorn. He should say that at the time the copy rights of " Reynolds's Miscellany," and 15 other works were sold for 15/., the " Miscellany" alone was worth 1004 John Strong examined -Is a stereotyper, residing in Brown-court, Uiancery-lane. Has proved for 801. Has sold the copyright of the fifteen works for 15/. to Mr. Cooke, the trade "Reynolds's rade assignee, No. 2, Old Chapel-street, Kentish - tow n. The y were not sold by auction. They were not offered to any other p erson. Is now stereotyping "Reynolds's Miscellany" and his "Gret na Green." Had never hexed of Mr. Reynolds being so nerv ous that for six weeks he could not wr ite for the "Miscellany." Th e property, including copyrights , was al together sold for 118/. Ile so sold it by the advice o f Mr. Davis, solicitor. Mr. W. H. Cox examined -Is a p rinter, residin g at No. 5, G r eat Queen-street , Lincoln's Inn-fields. H olds some old p l a tes and wood - cuts of Reyno lds's works. Is a creditor of Reynolds's fo r 300/. ; also for an I. 0.

Mr. DUNCAN now applied to his Honour to adjourn the case. in consequence of the absence of this material witness. Mr. ST URGEON o pposed the application, and a smart con test ensued between the Learned Gentlemen, which caused some amusement in court. Ultimately his HONOUR acceded to Mr. Duncan's applica tion, on the understanding that his clients should be respon sible for the expenses of the adjournment. by which a pl a t e -l ayer in liur)-sta atiocnideont - ---=--- , ACCIDENT ON TIIE SOUTII-11d A STERN R W ....._ AIL A y.

Could the veil, which covers the origin of domestic wretchedness, be raised, and its true source in every instance disclosed, in how mazy cou l d it be traced to physical disqualifications and their attendant disap pointments. Excesses are always injurious ; the gift, which when solitary iftult:brejtni,th Reproductive e nn used in moderation is fraught with advantage, becomes, 'when abused . the prolific source of mischief and of greater or less injury to the constitutional and vital powers. The particular excesses, on the nature and coneeauence of which this Treatise human dame, to ilate, ere productive of greater severity of Misery the than any other to which it is subject. This work contains as accurate and complete account of the Anatomy and Physiology of the Reproductive Organs, and of their relative conditions in health and disease. It deservedly requires the closest attention and study, for what subject can be of more importance than the preservation ef the health and of the physical capabilities of which every man should be possessed. It unfortunately happens that the unhappy victim of excessive indulgence and vicious habits, whether acquired in early Me or from the follies of advanced age, while suffering from their invariable consequeaces, unwisely entertains a Mar of ap plying to a qualified physician for relief. Shame and the dread so trequently, but erroneously entertained that these complaints are beyond the reach of art, alike restrict him and prevent his seeking or assistance where alone it can be procured. In acting thus, he forgets that accurate discrimination n ascertaining the causes of disease, sympathy with the sufferer, and, above all, secrecy, inva riably characterise the intelligent and practical physician, and to the toedical man who can show by his possession of the requisite legal qualifications that he is entitled to esteem and respect In his profes sional pursuits, the utmost confidence should be extended. Dr. LA'MERT has obtained the highest medical honours, as his diplomas certify, and the great extent of his practice for many years is a zuttmntee for his professional experience, which has reference almost solely to the treatment of these diseases.
