Reader, remember, this letter was put into the paper by the lady herself, as a testimony to me. " Mrs. Weekley, of No. 3. Swan-street, Berough, takes this oppor tualty of publicly thanking Mr. W. Grimstone, of the Herbary, High gate for the efficacy of his Aromatic Regenerator, in having com pletely restered the hair en her head, after using it abont four months, and the whole ether hair is much stranger and Moro luxuriant than lever was betere the baldness appeared. "Mrs. Weekley inserts this testimony to:the virtues of Mr. G.'s Regenator, feeling assured that many ladies would gladly purchase an 110. bottliS if they were at certain of its virtues as she is, from ex perience, not only in the restoration and production of hair in abund ance, but as a mire of nervous headache; as a toilet perfume itl far beyond any to her taste. She will feel a pleasure in answering any lady of respectability to the above fact`.-3, Swan-street, Borough." In eases of the hair becoming thin, weak, or Uniting grey, ate w drops on the crown of the head occasionally.- every week, will pre vent the hair trim coming away with the comb, make it strong, and prevent it turning grey, rendering the hair luxuriant and curly. A few drops on your hairbrush before brushing the hair, will give the hair brilliancy, causing it to curl. The most delicate ladies may use this delightful product of the resat aromatic herbs and lowers with confidence ; its refreshing odour removes headache and makes it a most necessary companion to the toilet. In cases o f novella headache, pear tea or twelve drops on the crown of the ho e d; if ver y bad, repeat it every quarter of az hour. In most cases relie f is certain in ten minutes. It produces hair on children's heads in a f ew a ppp lications. If used on infants' heads, it has such a peculiar cooling influenee en the brain as to pre vent convulsions, as well as pr o mpting the 'growth of hair.—See oansphiet of testimonials.

When, pleasing to myself, as you'll suppose, A most amusing incident arose. Friend Harrison js one who well enjoys, • A little pleasure with his little boys. • And so you'll think, on reading this suggestion, - • Of Mr. H. upon thenight in question. " Xi lads," said he, " 171 tell you what I'll do, `• buy the clothes, and leave the choice to you. • Let each one choose whose dress he'd like to wear, And let's have Vote by Ballot—that's most fair ; . You'll not consult together—each must choose Atcording to his own unbiassed views.' Write down your favourite shops—and after that, I'll put the slips of paper in a hat ; And then shall Ilfr. - TemPle"(meaning me) Makerknown your choices, just as they may be." The lads delighted, did as they were told, And talf-a--dozen ballots were unrolled. I took the papers, and on opening one, • I found it written thus t—E. M. and.SON. .Thelsecind•paper was the very same. _ • " And Number Three bore also MOSES' name. • - Atur, five, and six were likewise worded thus, And hence the ballet was unanimous. •' Now," said the father, " what the ballot shows, is That all.of you have duly valued MOSES;And every one of you, as you desire, Shall have a suit of MOSES' YOUTH'S ATTIRE. I hear, my lads, that MOSES' have on hand • Astock of dress unequalled in the land. We'll go to-morrow to the noted Mart; Where juvenile attire is sold so smart; And having ordered what you need in that, • MOSES shall furnish each - • A HANDSOME HAT. f :PO own,-In which the ballot-slips were tossed Ye high in quality, though low in cost; And those, my boys, which I shall buy for you, Will,look right well, and ample service do. THE BOOTS. AND SHOES • Which I shall purchase there Are just the things for lads like you to wear. I quite commend yonr choice, and your Mamma, ' Seems pleased to find what your selections are.

When union does not take place, however , this passion, this fervour, this golden tide of the manliest feelings becomes a deadly poison in the heart, which now darkens, as it before bright ened, all things upon earth. How is it that men, of most un changeable habits, will change at the very altar, and after' a life time spent in thefulfilmeni, of every engagement, snap the very con tract7asunder which should be most binding to an honourable mind? ft is the effect of conscience. The Lover, by enervation of early habits, or the results of secret disease, knows himself to be disqualified, and dares not enter a state which has been Instituted by Divine Law for the fulfilment of important ends. The wretched condition of such a being must subsequently be beyond measure deplorable I Loving and beloved, he entails the most miserable disappointments on the object of his choice, and upon himself a desolation the most horrible, when the simple possession of natural attributes would change the scene, and yield to both a life of unalloyed happiness.

By SAMUEL — LAIIERT, M.D., Doctor of Medicine, Matriculated Member of the University of Edinburgh, Licentiate of Apothecaries' Mall, London, Honorary Member of the London Hospital Medical Society, &c. This treatise is the result of a long course of study in a peculiar and much neglected branch of medical practice, and the author having ob tained the highest medical honours, is a guarantee for his profes sional experience, which has reference almost solely to the treat ment of these diseases. REVIEW OF THE' WORK. La'Mert on the Infirmities of Youth and Maturity.—" There are scenes is the drama of life which are acted with ne spectator but Conscience ; and of these the result is ever disastrous. Happy the mortal who meets with a timely mentor to snatch him from the gulf lute which such scenes must plunge him I In the book before as such a monitor is to be found, calculated to warn and instruct the erring, without impairing one idea that can vitiate a mind not al ready tutored by the vices of which it treats. It is written in a style of masterly precision and lucidity, blending the profoundest truths of philosophy and physics with the loftiest precepts of morality. It is a production calculated to confer a vital benefit, physically and morally, upon all who are tempted from the rigid path of abstemiousness and propriety. A father may trust it in the hands of his boy. By un taught innocence the book is not, of course, needed ; but wherever laxity has prevailed, the tender yet awful voice breathing In these pages is likely to prove as strikingly beneficial as the admonitions of a homily blended with the practical advice of a writer on medicine.

LONDON. 7 14 21 28 I 6 il3 20 ;27 • SINGULAR CIRCUMSTANTIA L EVIDENCE.--On; the night of Sunday last, the 17th instant, Mr. H. Ensor, of this town, had seventy-nine sheep grazing in a field adjoining the Yeovil-road. On the following' morning his shepherd, James Bunter, counted the flock and found that a fat wether sheep had been carried off in the night. Under the hedge, in an adjoining field, were found the entrails of the animal; and an examination of the road disclosed the foot marks of a horse, showing that the thieves had not carried their booty home on their own backs. Mr. Ensor obtained the assistance of a police constable (Haggett), who traced the horse's foot marks along the lane leading to Marshton, where the thieves had made a bend as if for Sherborne; and here the traces were somewhat confused ; but they were again taken up in the road leading to Trent, and con tinued into that village, within a few yards of the house of John Martin, who kept a horse, and hawked salt about for sale. Suspicion falling upon this individual, a search-warrint was procured, and his house entered. Two young fellows brothers, named George and Charles Eades, were found sitting by the fire, over which was suspended an iron pot. Haggett imme diately raised the lid, and found in it three pieces of mutton; and, on looking round the room he discovered, between the joists of the bedroom floor and the wall, seven or eight pounds of melted mutton fat. The two Eades' and Martin (who were upstairs) were at once taken into custody, and brought into Sherborne for ex amination before the Rev. L. Parsons. In addition to the circumstances we have stated, it Was proved before the magistrates by Wm. R. Toop, constable of lore chortle Hundred, that prints had been made by Martin's horse. The horse had a contracted foot, and the nails of the shoe projected, making the print so remarkable that Toop, who is a blacksmith by trade, said he had no doubt whatever that the marks were those of Martin's horse. The prisoners protested they knew nothing of the charge, and were fully committed' to Dorchester gaol for trial at the next sessions. This is, we believe, almost the only case on record wherein the footmarks of a horse led to the apprehension of suspected thieves.— Somerset County Herald. THE BLACKBIRD AND THE GIRT RAT.---TWO blackbirds have for some time past taken up theirquar ters near the avenue leading to Brechin Castle, and have paid daily visits to the gatekeeper at the hour when he was feeding the poultry. Tho utmost good feeling was manifested by the poultry to their sable visitors, allowing them freely to partake of the good things daily spread out on the well stored poultry board of his Lordship. One day lately, when employed in feeding his feathery tribe,. the gatekeeper observed a rat of the grey species cautiously approaching the black birds, and when within a few feet of one of them, the rat made a sudden spring, and fixed on the back of it. Off flew blackie with the grey enemy on his back ; but the weight of the denizen of the gutter was too strong for the songster of the wo od, and, after fl ying upwards of fifty yards, the gatekeeper immediately sprung to the rescue of his favourite ; but the rat, no doubt antici pating what would bo its fate were it to remain within reach, relaxed its hold, and darted off, apparently none the worse of its aerial flight. The poor bird was then received into the hands of Mr. Hunter, much mutilated ; but hopes are entertained of its recovery.—Montrose Standard. AN EXPENSIVE STARE.—On Wednesday week a geutleman, while passing the bridge at Bathpool, Taun ton, stopped to look at the train passing, and let a bag, containing 92 sovereigns, drop out of his great coat pocket. A boy, George Serle, picked up the bag, and on restoring it to the owner, was rewarded with two sovereigns. Seven shillings and sixpence were also di vided between the three bystanders, for the information given in finding out the person who crossed the bridge after the loss occurred.—Bath Herald. A REALLY INDEPENDENT LABOURER.—At a re cent meeting of the guardians of the Cleobury Mortimer Union, Henry Tudor, a resident in the parish of Wheat hill. voluntarily came and paid 11. ls. ed., the amount of relief advanced to him while unable to work from the ctiiocati.;ll of his ar u. The guard ens present immedi ately subscribed the amount, and.returned it to Tudor, and expressed their admiration of his sterling honesty. I SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. HERALD.—We are not ashamed to confess that we regard the appearance of Mr. Cobden's budget with some alarm. We have not to learn to-day the power of agita tion sustained by unblushing falsehood. We have lived to see miracles echieved by daring democrats, unscrupu lous in their means, and:indomitable in the pursuit of a well-defined end. The masses are impotent in the pre sence of appeals to their passions, founded on a well affected sorrow for their privations, and upon a burning desire to place them superior to misfortune, and beyond the reach of suffering. It is little to the purpose that facts are against the agitator, and that experience denies the cogency of his logic. It is nothing that a reference to records destroys in an instant the solidity of his fabric, and that a moment's reflection is sufficient to scatter to the winds the inflammatory harangues of a night. The reflection never comes. That which is disagreeably true is by no means so acceptable as that which is pleasantly false. Mr. Bright, upon the hustings in Yorkshire, bellowing to a crowd, asserts that upwards of 46,000/. a year aro paid out of the taxes to support tho colonial bishops, and a general groan is elicited in con demnation, of the extravagant expenditure. What avails it that the statement is untrue, and that proofs are in ex istence to make it clear that 14,7901. only are paid for the support of the hooted dignitaries ? " This year," writes Mr. Cobden, addressing physical force throughout the land, "swill be memorable for having witnessed the destruction of the last remaining powers of feudalism in all the countries of the Continent, excepting Russia. But I know of no privilege which the nobles of Prussia, Gallicia, or Hungary have been compelled to surrender, as a tribute to the enlightenment of this age, more unjust in principle than that which is conferred upon our landed proprietors in the statute, passed by themselves, imposing deities exclusively upon the inheritance of personal pro perty. Let us not boast of English freedom, or equality before the law whilst this injustice remains. In what form could aristocratic privilege assume a more offensive and costly aspect than in that of a bold and palpable ex " (merlon from taxation?" What are prosaic figures and unobtrusive facts presenting themselves to biassed minds a week after hatred has been secured, and class placed against class, with fire kindled at the heart and passion quivering on the brow? Landlords may preach till they are hoarse—the owners of real property protest till they are spent, it matters not. A friend of the people declares that the rich are living on the poor, are passing laws for themselves at the expense of all beneath them—and, do what you will, the people believe him. Aristocrats claim no bold and palpable exemption from taxation. Their burdens are proportioned to their strength, and their duties correspond with their privi leges; but declare it in every market-place in England, and the ear shall be stone-deaf through which the abomi nable lie has once passed. The difficulty of legislation for the future consists in this very circumstance. As in Ire land nothing useful can be accomplished until trim quillity is restored, so in England no permanent advance can be made till agitation is silenced, Class must ho reconciled to class, ill blood must subside, truth must be spoken and tolerated, before we can move an inch forward with safety to the nation. We have lega lised illegal combinations until they boldly usurp the work of the Legislature, and openly perform it with a natural view to their selfish ends. Sir Robert Peel did homage to the League, when, as Prime Minister, he welcomed Mr. Cobden as the hero of a triumph ; and a new league now puts the same hero forward with the full assurance of a second and a greater victory. When and where are we to stop ? That the humbler classes will remember the false promises held out to them during the agitation of the League we entertain no hope. The theory of free trade may fail a hundred times in practice, but so long as poverty lasts and wealth abounds, the suf ferings of the former will still seek for elucidation in the comforts and enjoyments of the latter. We were to have had a social millenium with the corn-laws repealed and protective :duties abolished ; something very different arrives, and instead of a confession of failure we receive a declaration of war ; a determina tion to gain at all risks the prosperity which has eluded us, and to destroy and distribute what yet remains, if we cannot avail ourselves of the present or restore the past. Agitation is still in advance of the age, let the age itself be never so revolutionary. We would simply warn politicians of every class that the present design of Mr. Cobden is to uproot everything. If it be true, as Sir Culling Eardley states in his parting address to the electors of the ,Vest Riding, that ho has " been defeated, not by the Tories, but by a section of the Whigs," it is especially to such Whigs, who have at length taken alarm at the proceedings and tendencies of Messrs. Cobden and Bright, that we would address in time a word of caution and advice. Let them comply with the demands of the Leaguer to-day, and the last blow will have been struck. Reform will indeed be consummated with colonies given up, our army disbanded, our fleet paid off, and the empire deliberately placed at the mercy of the world. There will be no need to discuss matter in detail when all:will have been decided at one fell swoop. Conservatives do well to wrangle about the petty differences which keep them now asunder, with the common enemy at the gate, and with a question impending, which, ridiculous and monstrous as it may look, will, once started, be freely discussed in every city of the United Kingdom, and entertained with a steady belief in its speedy and satisfactory:solution. All parties in the state can afford to wait for the verdict which experience shall give of the triumphant success or utter failure of the measures of 1846, but no party attached to the Throne and the in stitutions of the country, ;loving order and abhorring the doings which have disgraced the continent during the last twelvemonth, can afford to deliberate a moment upon the propriety of crushing in their birth designs subversive of all the country holds dear, of all that Englishmen cherish, of all that, as loyal sons of our common fatherland, we care to uphold. Mr. Cobden has oftener than once declared himself a citizen of the world. lle proudly acknowledges that ho cares not to legislate for England, save and except as a por tion of a peopled world; he has publicly declared his disgust for national anthems and those spirit-stirring themes which treat of our supremacy on the seas, and of our hardly-acquired influence throughout the globe. The undisguised dislike which the gentleman has evinced for the ;aristocracy, and the impudent allusions which, from time to time, he has made to the useless splendours of a court, indicate the bent of his mind and the final aim of his political aspirations. But it becomes a ques tion for us all to consider, whether we aro prepared to pull down the pre-eminence of Great Britain, and to ex change our monarchy for modern republicanism, at the call of one so manifestly unfit, from his want of nation ality, to judge of what is good or fitting for the nation in the present crisis to adopt. The question needs an answer. Before mischief takes root in the soil it must be driven from the land. Before the poison works, the antidote' must be given. Let the people of England be protected from Mr. Cobden by the counsel and aid of their best friends. The new league in its infancy must be met by another, The league of specials which put down Chartism on the 10th of April is a model for our imitation. The combination of the good, the wise, the loyal, the orderly, and the well-disposed, must interpose forthwith, in steady and compact phalanx, between Mr. Richard Cobden and the men ho would make his instru ments as well as victims. TIMES.—We acknowledge that it has not been with out considerable uneasiness that we have perused a pamphlet " On the Deficiency of European Officers in the Army of India," by " One of Themselves." We need certainly prefix no introduction, and we seed scarcely add any comment to the following facts and figures, which we condense from the statement alluded to. The Royal regiments OR the Indian establishment consist of twenty-five corps of infantry and five of ca valry. These thirty regiments have a complement of 1,440 officers. The regular army of the East India Company consists of twenty-four regiments of artillery, sight regiments of engineers, twenty-one regiments of cavalry, and 161 regiments of infantry. These two hun dred and fourteen regiments have a complement of 5,161 European officers. Stated more particularly, the pro portion of officers to a regiment of the Queen's or the Company's service respectively is as follows: Queen's Cavalry. Company's Cavalry. 2 Lieutenant-Colonels... .•, 1 2 Majors ••• ••• 1 9 Captains 18 Lieutenants ..• 8 Cornets ••• 1 Adjutant 1 Quartermaster 1 Paymaster ... 42 - 19 Queen's Infantry. Company's Infantry. 2 Lieutenant-Colonels... 1 1 2 Majors 10 Captains .... ... 6 23 Lieutenants ... .., 10 8 Ensigns 1 . Adjutant ' 0 1 Quartermaster 0 1 Paymaster ... 0 • • 48 23 These figures are st artlin g enou g h, but they do not tell one-half the tale. In the first place, there are the stern necessities of furlough induced by the climate and dis tance of India. Nearly all the colonels of regiments, 217 in number, though included in the total of 5,161 above mentioned, are, and have been for many years, absent from their corps. One of them expired since this pamphlet was published—a veteran who had served under Clive himself. and who was a field-officer when Warren Hastings was dilating upon the woes of the Begums. Nobody can possibly object to such an ar rangement, but it is proper to show out of what items this singular total is compounded. But too many junior officers are driven to a premature retreat by the contin gencies of the service, and, indeed, we have repeatedly advocated the expediency of still further facilitating those opportunities of furlough to which we now refer. In the next place, from this body of officers are supplied all the civil, military, and political functionaries of the general and regimental staff; and, lastly, from the same source arc sought the requisite European officers for no fewer than ninety irregular and local regiments. By a calculation made from the returns of the p resen t y ear it is f0u.,;1 tt.tre are ;:ctutily uO Curl.ttnli 656 etn.: r-, on general staff 1,000, on regimental staff 395; so that 3,08,u efficrrs are all, uyon the highest computation, who are Lett for the service of an army of 214 battalions, more astounding. There are only 222 officers of artil lery for 12 troops and 42 companies kept constantly ready for immediate field service. For the ten regular cavalry regiments of Bengal there are only at this mo rent available It 1 officers, being eleven officers to' i egiment! and this where the whole essence of the service nsists in imparting the advantages of European disci pline to native troopers! Leather gloves, sleeves stiff with helver lace, shakos, and bear-skins — all that the Indian olds in aversion, we furnish in abundance, but that uidance and control of which such things are only a ymbol we dole out with the most watchful parsimony. s for the operation of all these practices on the effec tive strength of infantry regiments, two simple facts will Jo more illustrative than any comment. In the latter Bart of 1846, out of four regiments cantoned together at Barrackpore there could only be mustered two cap ains present and available for duty ; and at this very Moment, under the walls of Moulton, there is a regi- Ment from which every single captain and the two senior Subalterns also are absent or other calls. This requires, perhaps, a little fuller elucidation, as our readers may be naturally perplexed to conceive how such officers as those, which are the boast of our Indian army, could ever be found absent from their regiments in time of action, irhatever indulgence they might reasonably require at periods of less exigence. But the truth is, that they are absent, not on their own affairs, but the affairs of the itate. They are detached from their original duties to duties for the performance of which no provision has bteem otherwise made. On inquiry it .wou ld very pro ably be found that the absentees from the regiment en- Cansped under Moultan were either raising Paten levies on the Indus. or commanding some irregular corps in Bunnoo, or discharging some similar duty in the very war which is supposed to be demanding and receiving their services in another capacity. Major Edwardes himself is a conspicuous example of the practice. While he-was beating Moolraj on his own territory, and giving his superiors an opportunity of finishing the war at a blow, his place in his regiment was left to be taken by another. The case is precisely the same with those offi cers who are holding Peshawur and Attock, and keeping Chuttur Singh in check in the Hazareh.When the Seikh corps was formed after our occupation of Lahore two cap tains were required for it. They were selected from the 11th and 33d Regiments of Native Infantry, and their ap pointments left the former corps with only two captains remaining, and the latter with one. We are very far from imagining that these arduous and critical duties could ever be better discharged than by that class of men to whom they are entrusted at present. The Go vernment and its officers are alike gainers by the prac tice ; but it must be obvious that the service, on its present footing, can never support such a demand. Of the alternatives proposed—either that the complement of regimental officers, or that the civil staff, should be immediately and considerably increased, we incline at first sight to prefer the former ; for, though the general aptitude developed by good military discipline enables a soldier to make an excellent civilian, there is no such reason for anticipating that a civilian could, upon emergency, become a soldier. In one suggestion which this pamphlet revives we cordially concur. It is to the effect that the commissions of these officers should cease to be limited "to the East Indies only." In its principle this scheme is known to have received the highest military authority living, who recommended nearly half a century ago that the Company's officers, after attaining a certain rank, should be eligible to serve the British Crown in any part of the world. We cannot afford to lose the advantages of such a school as India. It is true that we secure them to some extent by the turns which the royal army takes in this peculiar ser vice; but what would have been the result had the Con queror of Assaye been a Company's officer? And why should the country be deprived of the service of any new Sepoy General whose abilities may be developed on the plains of the Punjaub? HERALD.—Our readers will find to-day in another portion of our paper a second letter from " A Walla chian," touching countries but little known to the inha bitants of Great Britain, but which, nevertheless, pre sent a double claim to the interest of Englishmen. The principalities of Wallachia and Moldavia are interesting —firstly, on account or the wide field they open to Eng lish enterprise; and,-secondly, because of the misfor tunes which have hitherto retarded the full development ef their great natural advantages. Nor are the Danubian principalities alone rich in the fertility of their boil. ' They are wealthy also in the variety and supe riority of its: produce, in'tho multitude of the herds and flocks fed .oa their rich pastures, in the numerous rivers abounding its fish which intersect them, and in the mines of gold, silver, and copper which the princi palities abnendantly contain. More especially rich in agricultural produce is Wallachia—called by the Turks Caraloog Land, or land of black wheat—Walla chia—concerning which our valuable correspondent for the second time addresses us, to-day, a com munication which should commend itself to the attention of every Englishman who bestows the least thought on foreign politics. It is not alone, however, as rich and productive lands that we ought to regard these Danubian principalities.- Favoured by an admirable geographical' position, they form stratogetioai as well as sommerciial stations, whose importance cannot-be too touch over-rated by any great military, naval, or com mercial power. Near to the mouth of the finest river 1 ... in Europe--'the "-dark•rolling Danube"—they are bounded on the one side by. the Black Sea, and on the other by a chain of mountains most favourable to pro duction and vegetation. Nor is the character of the people such as to render them unworthy of :the rich gifts which nature has bestowed upon them. The „Ito male people which inhabit these regions, known to us under the name of Wallachians, are a sober, laborious, generous, and intelligent race—a race which for many centuries has formed a bulwafk of Christianity and civi lization,' however imperfect, ,against the invasions of fanatic Islamism and Turkish barbarism. Our correspondent's version of the so-called Wallachian revolution we believe to be in the main cor rect. Curiously enough it is corroborated, in all its principal features, by the letters of our Constantinople correspondent, written at the time, and published in England in June, July, and August. The Wallachian revolution, in the proper sense of the term, was no revo lution at all—or it a revolution, was one of those peace ful revolutions so in every way preferable to bloodshed and barricades., It was, in a word, a mere modification of the fundamental laws of Wallachia, which the reign ing Prince first accepted,' and immediately after abdi cated. The - new Government was recognised in the name of the _Porte by Soleyman Pacha, and the exam ple of the Turkish Plenipotentiary was followed by the representatives of the different Powers at Bucharest. Soon after, however—while the amended constitu tion in which Soleyinan himself had su gges t e d modifications, was working, or, as the French would say, -‘ functioning" well—a Turkish army presented itself before Bucharest—an army whose chiefs professed, and probably truly professed, that they were sent thither in order to deprive Russia of all pre text for interference. Confiding in the honour and honesty of the Turks—our correspondent, "a Walla chian," states that 100,000 of his countrymen—(but here there must, we conceive, be some mistake, for Bucharest does - not contain much above 80,000 inhabi tants)—went out to meet the Turkish army. Fuad Ef fenidi, the Turkish .Commissioner, invited. tho Walla chians to send a deputation to his camp; but the deputa tion were made prisoners, and were dragged from one dungeon to another by order of the foreign adventurer, Duhamel, who has attained the rank of General in the Russian service. Meanwhile Fuad Effendi's army pre cipitated itself by forced marches on Bucharest, the cavalry trampling 'down those Wallachians who had gone out to meet them as friends, and the infantry firing on and shooting down the .Wallachian soldiers. This movement , of Turks was, no doubt, directed by the Russian Commissary- General, for the WARS.- chians had always hitherto looked on the Turks as friends, and had on. more than one occasion abstained from resistance to deprive Russia of all pretext for in terference. On the present occasion- it was impossible there could be a mistake as to the facts: The voice that commanded _was the voice of the Turk, but the hand that directed all was not a Moslem, but a Moscovite hand. In four and twenty hours, this was plain to the most unbelieving. The day after the entry - of the Turks into Bucharest a proclamation of .the Russian General Luders announced a violation of the Wallachian terri tory by Russian troops. A Russian army arrested several of the Wallichian functionaries, and dragged theta in chains through the public streets. The money in the Government chest was seized by Russian hands and pocketed, and booty taken either by fair means or foul was sold by Russians in the public market pla ce. Whole herds and flocks were carried off 'by the Muscovite troops, and - the - resources of the country having by these means been exhausted within a few days, the Turkish Government came to a re solution to defray the expenses of their army of observation. Not so the Russians. As if to have a mortgage on the Wallachian soil, the Russian Government caused a credit to be opened in Petersburgh for the army stationed at Wallachia, and every penny paid to that army has been placed to the debit side of the account of Wallachia. Russian and Turkish com missaries, together with Cantacuzene--a creature of Russia—were subsequently installed in the place of the native .Government. A Pacha was nominated military commander of Bucharest, and all concerned in the revo lution, or rather in the peaceful change of the funda mental laws, were at once proscribed. General Maguero, however, in this sad state of affairs, stood out for the liberties of his country. With a force of about 20,000 men he withdrew to the mountains, but after a time, at the suggestion and request of the British Consul General, our correspondent " A Wallachian" alleges, he dissolved his army and retired beyond the Carpathians, being assured that his presence in armed force paralysed the action of diplomacy. Such is the state of affairs warmly and indignantly denounced by the writer of the letter to which we to-day direct the reader's attention. The warmth of the writer's expression is, under the circumstances, certainly excusable, and the indignation he certainly feels may be well conceived by a Britain to struggle for utterance, when it is remembered that he speaks of the independence and neutrality of his coun try, a hich he ..11ogcc h been grossly violated. It is plain item act our advices non Constanunople that the Ottoman Cabinet has fallen into a pitfall—into a snare dexterously laid for it by the Russian Government, and hat the Sublime Porte is now most anxious to withdraw from the principalities. But Russia opposes this step, Nell knowing in that event that her' armies would have no pretext for remaining at Bucharest. That - the con4tiCi of the Russians is without excuse appeara to us- 7 -0- least as we are at present advised—very manifest. wen, the invasion was undertaken in the month of September the principalities were in. a state of profound tran quillity, and it app ears very difficult on an yrecog nised_principle of publi c l aw to j ustify the occupation. of a neutral, or even a protected_Yet -independent power, under,such circumstances. . If we mistaltanot, England, recognised . the neutrality' of Moldavia sad Wallachia Slot merely in 1824, but in 1828 sand • 1829, at b oth e l? which periods Viscount Palmerston forreed.a portion of the Government—first, unsierj s oxd Liverpool and' Mr. Canning, and secondly, under the. Duke- of- Wellington. Independently, altogether; however, of considerations of principle, right, and international law—the - coneentiss non- of Russian troops on a stratrgetical' point of, set, much importance as Bucharest—a point from 'which they may be directed against either Hungary, Italy, Germany, Constantinople, or France, is a question of the very gravest European importance—a question which concerns England more intimately than at the first blush clearly appears. We believe that our con sul general, Mr. Colquhoun, in the principalities, has done all that a British agent could or ought to de in this Wallaehian question ; and we also believe that Sir Stratford Canning has held a proper and fitting lan guage, and given the hest advice at Constantinople. But it seems to us that it is not at Constantinople such re monstrances should be loudly heard, but at Tsazko, Zelo, at Peterhoff, or at St. Petersburgh. Any habi tual reader of this paper must be well aware that we have almost invariably treated Viscount Palmerston with the greatest leniency. We not only believe him to be by far the ablest man in the Ministry, but one of the very few gentlemen in the Whig-Radical Cabinet. But But his culpable complacency—his dilatoriness—his negligence—his blandness and poco curante policy, in anything in which Russian interests or Russian views are mixed up, is his chief opprobrium—his cardinal and most conspicuous defect. Indeed, it would latterly seem as though, out of mere wanton bravado, the temeraire vieillard (we would not for the world use the words old man, so spitefully employed in the Chronicle of Satur day) is disposed to give some colouring of truth to the lofty flights of fancy_of the member for Stafford. DAILY NEWS.—For the Times to continue urbane and decorous two days in succession is no doubt difficult. It greeted Mr. Cobden's budget, on Saturday, with half insinuated distrust and polite persiflage, but still it was wondrous civil. Yesterday, however, the Times made itself ample amends for this brief exercise of self-con trol, and relapsed into its natural vocabulary. It ac cused Mr. Cobden, " if not of ignorance or haste, of a scandalous piece of dishonesty." All this, because of the assertion that the dominant class of the Legislature have exempted themselves from the probate and legacy duty, and that the extension of the probate and legacy duty to real estate, entailed and unentailed, will yield, at a moderate estimate, 1,500,0004 per annum. This state ment the Times characterises as false and dishonest— first, on the ground that all real property does not enjoy the exemption; secondly, on the ground that real property is under peculiar burdens and legal disadvantages. The first of these reasons is a mere play upon words-..a taking shelter behind the technical jargon of the courts of law. The Times does not deny that real estate, en tailed and -unentailed, was withdrawn from the opera. Lion of the legacy and probate duties against the will of Pitt, who introduced those duties, the corresponding Bill on real property having been flung out by the coun try gentlemen. It does not deny that real estate, if taxed at the came rate as the property subjected to these daties, would yield a revenue of 1,500,0001. per annum ; or that the great bulk of the property thus emancipated from taxation is owned by the titled and untitled aristocracy who have hitherto made the House of Commons, and by its instrumentality made our laws. This is the important fact, and this the l imes cannot call in question. The Times asserts that all leasehold property is liable to probate or legacy duty (a mistake so far as leasoholds are concerned), and that " the greater part of this metropolis, and a considerable portion of the house property and other buildings throughout the whole kingdom is held for terms of years." Very true; the millowner holds his factory on a building lease ; the lawyer, doctor, shopkeeper, and all of the industrial classes who have houses of their own, generally hold them upon a building lease ; and they are subjected to the probate and legacy duties, whilst the ground landlord is exempted from it. This is pre cisely what Mr. Cobden :complains of: the Times has • proved his case. The assertion that the landlords -ought le continue exempted from legacy and probate duties because they are subjected to peculiar burdens is equally unten able. "The conveyance of landed property is burthened by heavier charges than the transfer of personality." True; but the charges are paid, not to the State, but to the lawyers, and they are paid in consequence of the laws made by the owners of that kind of property. It is no answer to a complaint on the part of the indus trial classes that the landlords have exempted them selves from a heavy contribution towards the support of government, that they are foolish enough to uphold a system by which they are taxed for the private emolu ment of legal practitioners. The landlords (our law makers) might relieve themselves of this tax for the benefit of trade, and Government be not a penny the poorer. That they choose to indulge in the luxury of an expensive system of conveyancing is no reason for exempting them from contributing their fair share towards the expenses of the State. They might as reasonably claim such an exemption on the ground that their turtle, pine-apples, and champagne are more expensive than the labourer's bread and beer. They are the law-makers, and the industrial class gains no thing by the foolish laws they have made to injure themselves. The privilege of making the laws is an axe with which they have cut and hewed at all around them. If from their awkwardness they have hit their own shins on one occasion, is the already over-taxed public to be mulcted to pay for a plaister ? Again, saith the Tunes, " real property pays more than six millions a year to the relief of the poor ; personal property nil." This is simply untrue. Poor-rates are charged, not on the owners:l*s on the occupiers, , of real property. The warehouseman,. the shopkeeper, the manufacturer, the house tenant, the mortgagee, the railway shareholder, all pay poor rates. The landlord is assessed directly; his tenants are - as sessed indirectly : but in point of fact the industrial class are subjected to the poor-rates as well as the land• owning law-making class. There is not a merchant or manufacturer in Yorkshire or Lancashire, there is not a householder in London, who cannot by the production' of the collector's receipt for poor-rates disprove, the assertion of the Times, that the class which has exempted itself from taxes to the amount Of 1,500,0001. per annum pays the whole of the poor-rates. The Times cites the, case of landlords taxed as , high as. , one- fifth of their income for the relief of the poor. All we can say of such cases is, that they must be IriSh landlords or much akin to them. Landlords have poor rates very much under their control; and, instead of paying oue-fifth of their income to them, as the Times exemplifies, they very often pay nothing at all, and fling the residue of their workmen and the support of 'their paupers upon districts where the non-landlord class abounds. The next plea set up by the Times is the fun niest of all. The landowner pays tithes! He has re ceived, or he has purchased his estate, with the full knowledge and condition that a certain portion of its produce belongs not to him, but to the church. The Times calls this a tax upon the landholder. It might as well designate rent as a tax upon the farmer. The next thing the Times will propose is no doubt the repeal of this tax, the abolition of this tithe. It might as well turn communist, and abrogate rent! The land-tax is another exclusive burden, according to the Times. What, however, was the land-tax originally, but a puts stitute for a feudal service, or for a rent actually charged by law on landed property, and commuted to this tax, which has dwindled to a diminutive fraction of, the pro fits of land, augmented as these have been to enormous dimensions, not by the culture or industry of the land lord, but by the rise and increase of mercantile industry around him? The Times, in making up the landlords' account, does not spare an item. Tho county rates are another exclusive burden. rray, what are the rates for the paving and lighting of towns? Cannot the country gentlemen trot or drive over-the town pavement without a charge, whilst the towns man if he sends his cart, and tarns his horse o ver t h e road and bridge paid out of the county rate, is compelled instantly to pay his quota in the shape of a turnpike toll? As to lunatic asylums, police, and all the sundries of the Times, does not the town tenant pay them out of his personal property? But we see the reason why the bo T tyoimrmtie exciting baon ol s fo s wm e a l r e cn. anddt Cobden's e e d x c h de i e s rab a o btt n ihun e ed , gg e a o n e:. odd for rrq h ou e avat e m trra cr o sey s i t ob e u n n lt a s ttwh ei s i s, s a e inpl that t i ay reforMers and the l a nd e d i nterest; the inklings of which for the cause of retrenchmont are, above all. things,. Most dreadedi by the oligarchy. In this, however, the Times shall be disappointed. We claim nothing but , a fair apportionment of taxation, local as well as general. We wish to destroy that old juggle of taxing by com- - pensation, and of loading different classes with different urdens, and exciting mutual jealousies, in order, that, "in& to their divisions, the oligarchy may have more - facility for overburdening and despoiling both.

A cargo was thrown in and com pleted, and poor puss was buried alive. The vessel ar rived in Lynn, and on the iSth day from the time of her being immured, puss was found by the porters unloading the ship and still alive, she having been protected by the position of the large pieces of coal as before stated.
