Mr. We therell, from a personal inspection, can most strongly recommend the whole, of the stock at Oxenhoath, for Sale, by Auction, they being well calculated not only to improve the herds of old breeders, but to lay a good foundation for any young beginner.

The remaining 7.0 Cows, Heifers, and Steers (although with out pedigrees) are' of the short-horned breed and exceedingly geod. The Leicester Ewes are two shear, having been selected (shearlings) In 1847, from the 'well-known flock of William Richardson, Esq., of Limber, Lincolnshire, are remarkably goal, being large-sized, good Wool, wall made, and as gdod blood as can be. The crosses are from Leicester Ewes by a Down Tup, and from Down Ewes, by a Leices ter Tup , are prime for the London market, being extremely fat and of good quality. Catalogues, with pedigrees of the Short-horned Cattle, and all other information, may now be had of Mr. Herbert Prlckett, 123, Chancery-lane, and 23, Paddington-green, London ; and of Mr. We therell; Durham. MORISON'S PlLLS.—People of England, the doctors, alias the licensed poisoners, who write in the Week'y Dispatch. have not answered the questions put to them a week ago. We thought as much. The case of Mary Spry is a pill to them which they cannot digest. You will know what to infer from their silence. They have no answer—that's the fact. So far as we are concern. f, we should have allowed the matter to end here, feeling well assured that the farm of Morisen's Pills cannot suffer from the ravings of a few mad doctors who are incensed at the 115.0001. paid by Mr. Morison fer stamps ; but we cannot allow the case of Mary Spry and Mary Ann Dore to rest where It is, and we hereby earnestly call on all editors of newspapers to come forward and see that justice Is dope t 7, these unfortunate parties. How stands the case ? why thus; Mary Spry, and Mary Ann Dore, her daughter, were indicted at Nevvgate in the month of August last for the wilful murder of their child, aged four months, with arsenic. On the trial it.turns out to the perfect satisfaction of the judge (Baron Platt) and Jury, that they had had nothing whatever to do with such poisoning (Who haf, we leave the public to guess), and they were forthwith al quitted ; the judge expressing at the time the natural Indignation he felt pretty strongly. The expense of their defence from this odious sad unnatural charge amounts to 2001. in lawyers' bills, doctors' bills, Ind witnesses—not one farthing of which has been allowed. Now, it is sebmitted that, if ever there was a case in which the expenses Incurred by the defence should have been allowed, this is that case. Nay, more, we contend that these parties are entitled, and well en titled to a remuneration from the country on reccuat of the anguish and anxiety of mind which they must have endued. We therefore do hope that the press of this country, so distinguished for fair play, will step in and see that justice he done to these parties. ShouM we he disappointed in this, we shall certainly advise Mrs. Spry and her daughter to petition the House of Commons. In conclusion, we have Only to say that we took up this case entirely on public grounds, as being one which shows in its worst features the infamous practice of doctors using poisons as medicines. through which innocent parties Might even be brought to the scaffild. We never saw any of the Patties until after the trial, and after we had brought the case before the public in the columns of The llygeist, In consequence of which they came and laid their case refer° us. If the 2091. is not returned to these women, justice is at an end In England t Let the judge, Baron Platt, be at once appealed to. We understand that Mrs. Spry and Mrs. Dore reside at 4 and 5, Lower Grosvenor-place, Pimlico. What can the doctors of The Dispatch say to this case?

The visit from France of the National Guard Is a capital theme Air the mercantile bard, Who, with every good Engl , shman, heartily cries— " Three cheers for our neghheurs and friend'y allies." The National Guard, from ace”unts that are written. Seem.. highly delighted at visiting Britain, And wherever the good ;attic strangers have been, They've declared themselves pleased at the sights they have seen. The writer of this being present, for one, When the National Guards came to MOTES and SON, Can attest to the pleasure which each seemed to show As ho wond'ring stroll's through the mighty depot, Net one of the visitors failed to admire The shops set apart for the sale of ATTIRE. They noticed the mart in its business design, And they noticed the dress, whi,;ll they thought very fine, At the sight of the fashions each heart seemed to glow (And Frenchmen are judges of fashion, you know), And every one gave the peculiar shrug On seeing the Over• Coats, stylish and snug, Not a guard did I notice but seemed to be won By the elegan' dresses •f MOSES and SON. After they inspected the prime lIATS AND r'APS, In which you'll imagine some time would elapse, And f scarcely - need say that the National Guard, On seeing the goods, stared remarkably hard, Such indeed was. the case, and I didn't see ono Who gave not due credit to MOSES and SON. They next made their way to the prime BOOTS AND SILO s, Which of coarse they had n• disposition to lose, And here (for I judge from the shrug and the start), They were equally pleased with the grand City Mart, And certainly thought they were "sensible Sirs," . When I saw how delighted they were with the FURS. "Well done, Messrs. Moses well done," said each man (I give the translation as well as I can), And having &Winded these winter affairs, They looked at the OUTFITS AND BOSIERT WARES, Which goods pleased them well, as the ethers had done, And caused them tesempliment MOSES and SON. And be it remembered that, after inspection, Each onelpf the "Nationale made a selection: litany thanks, gallant Guards, for your liberal aid, With warmth is this public acknowledgment made, Aid with this very view did the mercantile hard Select for his subject the "National Guard."

By the simple, yet truly scientific arrangements of your burners, you have succeeded perfectly in obtaining the proper supply of air, both in quantity and position ; thus, the flame is, at all tines, steady and intensely luminous; while even under suddenly increased pres sure, or during draughts of air, no smoke is given off.

More exalted than mere passion, it sears high above every other Impulse of nature, and is not only stronger than avarice, but more engrossing even than ambition. No man is exempt from its influence, er can avoid its sway; and business, pleasure, philo sophy, and divinity itself become neglected under the enthralling power of LOVE, which, unlike most things, increases in intensity with time, until it receives the swred consummation of marriage. 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 the fulfilment •f every engagement, snap the very con tract asunder which should be most binding to an honourable mind? It is the effect of conscience. The Lover, by enervation of early habits, er the results of secret disease, knows himself to be disqualified, and dares not enter a state which has been instituted by Divine Law for tke 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 et natural attributes would change the scene, and yield to both a life of unalloyed happiness. The subject is interesting, and deserves the attention of all. These desirous of investigating it will find the fullest and most satisfactory information in the little work entitled SELF-PRESERVATION. illustrated by forty coloured engraving; on the anatomy, physiology, and diseases of the reproductive orgaas ; with practical observa tions** the secret infirmities of youth and maturity, resulting from solitary habits, excesses, or infection.

IRIII/1 OP TAR WORK. Lalfert en the Infirmities of Touth and Maturity.—" There are scenes in the drama of life which are acted with no 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 into which such scenes must plunge him 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 mied 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 philesepky 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 ou medicine." —United Kingdom Magazine.

THE CIIOLEILL—The new cases reported since our last publication are as follows:—In Edinburgh on Moe day 25, Tuesday 12, yesterday 14. In Leith Sunday and Monday 24, on Tuesday 14, yesterday 12. The deaths in Edinburgh during these three days have been 41 ; in Leith 13. The recoveries ascertained since our Ise: publication are in Edin burgh 6; in Leith 9. Thy cases still remaining are—in Edinburgh 83 ; in Leith 87 ; in Newhaven 1. About the end of last week the epidemic broke out in the village of Loanhead, and from the parish of Lasswade there have been 29 cases ripened, Of which 18 have proved fatal. These were nearly all colliers in Loanhead, living within 400 yards of each other. From Crookston, parish of Stow, one fatal case is reported, that of an itinerant hawker, who had left Edinburgh a few hours before being taken ill. In Alusselburgh as well as Portobello we are informed that cholera has appeared, in several cases fatal, but as yet there has been no authentic return from these places. There have also been seven cases reported in tke parish of Liberton, four of which have proved fatal. The sheriff has issued a circular to the inspector of the poor of each pariah in the county, ri quiring him to make' a daily return "of the cases of cholera in his pariah, properly authenticated. The 24 cases reported from Leith on Monday were chiefly in the centre of the town. In Edinburgh a great proportion of the victims resided in some part of that long line of over crowded streets, extending from Croft-an-righ, near Holyrood, to the Grass-market and West Port. Among the new localities in Edinburgh is the Water of Leith village, where the disease first appeared on Monday. Caledonian Mercury. ON POLISII BALL AND CONCERT AT GUILDHALL THE 16TH INST.—Another meeting of the committee for conducting this annual entertainment took place at Guildhall on Tuesday, under th© presidency of Mr. Holt, the deputy chairman. From some of the members present, and the r e ports made by various quarters, there is every also received from reason to believe that the of exertions of the friends Poland will, as usua l, b e crowned with success. A most distinguished list of patrons and patronesse s , headedby her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent, was laid before th e comm i t t ee by Lord Dudley Stuart, and his Lordship handed likewise to the treasurer several donations which be had rec e iv e d for the benefit of this benevolent undertaking. Every to p re caution has been takenfacilitate the comfort and convenience of the visitors ; a, separate saloon, brilliantly lighted and embellished with shrubs and evergreens, having been prepared, in addition to the other refreshment rooms, for th numerous company expected on the occasion.

Several distinguished persons have signified their intention to honour the ball with their presence ; and when the gay sebne presented on the evening of the fete, in the splendid hall hung with flags and banners, brilliantly illuminated, and filled with a diversity of rich dresses and gorgeous costumes, can be imagined, it is not surprising to see it, as it has ever been, fully and tashionably attended by the votaries of the dance, and many other persons anxious to testify their feelings in a just and right cause. [ADVERTISEMENT.] —Bowel Complaints and Cho lera do not always arise from foulness without the sys- i tem; if the liver be in a sluggish state, or if the diges tive functions be improperly performed irritation of the bowels is sure to ensue; and if the blood be not properly decarbonized, in consequence of the lungs being ob structed by impurities, that vital fluid passes through the system charged with a disease engendering principle. The Vegetable Restorative Pills, prepared by John Kaye, Eici., of Dalton-hall, near Huddersfield, h ave become celebrated throughout the world as the most effica cious medicine ever discovered for ridding the system of all impurities, for opening obstructions, for removing acrimonious and redundant bile (the chief cause of cho lera), and for causing the fluids to flow in a healthy and natural order.

Early this morning the band of the 2d Regiment of bite Guards assembled at the Castle, and performed the following pieces under the windows of the royal apartments, in honour of the birthday of his Royal Highness the Prince of \Vales LITERATURE. Sinfonia Pastorale (Ist movement) Quartett—" See rosy dawn" (Opperfest) Winter. Selection from the " Maid of Honour" Balfe. Glee—" Hail, Star of Brunswick" Calcott. The Prince of Wales's March Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent, accom- panied by her Serene Highness the Princess Amelie of Hohenlohe Schillingsfurst, arrived early from Frogmore House, and joined the august circle at the Cagle. The Coldstream Guards, under the command of Colonel Codrington, and the 2rl Regiment of Life Guards, under the command of Lieutenant-Colonel Williams, paraded in the Home Park, near the East ' ern Terrace, between nine and ten o'clock, and fired a feu de joie in honour of the auspicious event. The Queen afterwards drove out in an open landau and four, accompanied by the Prince of Wales, the Princess Royal, and the Princess of Hohenlohe Lan genburg; Colonel Buckley, Equerry in Waiting, attending on horseback. The Duchess of Kent and the Princess Amelie of Hohenlohe Schillingsfurst returned to Frogmore House. Prince Albert hunted with the harriers. His Royal Highness was attended by the Marquis of Abercorn, Captain W. Baillie Hamilton, Lord Camoys, Sir Ed ward Bowater, and Colonel Bouverie. Her Majesty the Queen Dowager, accompanied by her Serene Highness the Princess Eliza of Hohenlohe Langenburg, went from the Castle in the afternoon, and paid a visit to her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent at Frogmore House. The Queen walked in the afternoon in the pleasure grounds adjacent to the Castle. Their Royat Highnesses Prince Alfred, the Princess Alice, and the Princess Helena, and the Princess Louisa, took their accustomed airings to• day in the Slopes and rides in the Park. Her Majesty's private band performed the following pieces yesterday evening in the Castle : Overture—"Fingals Hohle" Finale, 2d Act—" Zauberflote" Turkish March—" Ruins of Athens"... Beethoven. The royal dinner this evening was served in the Queen's dining-room, the magnificent " Prince of Wales's Epergne" forming the centre ornament of the plateau, which was decorated with the plume and other insignia of the Prince of Wales. The illustrious guests comprised her Majesty the Queen Dowager, her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent, her Serene Highness the Princess of Hohen lohe Langenburg, her Serene Highness the Princess Eliza of Hohenlohe Langenburg, her Serene High ness the Princess Amelie of Hohenlohe Schillings furst, her Serene Highness the Princess Eliza of Hohenlohe Schillingsfurst, his Serene Highness Prince Edward of Saxe Weimar, the Marquis and Marchioness of Abercorn, the Lady in Waiting of the Queen Dowager (Viscountess Barrington), Lady Anna Maria Dawson, the Baroness de Speth, Vice- Chamberlain of the Queen Dowager (the Hon. Wil liam Ashley), Colonel the Hon. C. B. Phipps, Captain W. B. Hamilton, Sir George Couper, Commanding Officer of the 2d Life Guards (Lieutenant-Colonel Williams), the Commanding Officer of the Coldstream Guards (Colonel Codrington), and Mr. Glover. The band of the Coldstream Guards was in attend ance during dinner. The following had the honour of joining the august circle at the Castle in the evening—The Dowager Lady and the Hon. Miss Lyttel ton and Miss Pole Carew, Lady and Miss Couper, Mr. Couper, and the Hon. Miss 'Phipps. The Queen's private band attended and performed in the Castle. _ _ _ ledge has been filled up by the scholarly and laborious hands of the author of these pretentious r octavos—pretentious we mean in their simple charac ter, in spite of the graceful humility expressed as to their ulterior destiny in the " Preface." Mr. Blakey has not only done good service to the student in me taphysics, but has, in like manner, let us hope, taken an appreciable step towards the revival in England of that study which was placed in the van of all the sciences by the venerable hand of Aristotle. By the recent changes effected in the scholastic administra tion at Cambridge, natural philosophy has been ad mitted to a companionship with classic literature and mathematics—let us hope that the first philosophy, the philosophy treating of mental powers and facul ties, will no longer be excluded from the general course of university education. By discontinuing the cultivation of this spiritualising and elevating study, England has tended to propagate in an alarm ing degree those barren and hideous doctrines of Materialism which hare found advocates and pane gyrists in a long catalogue of godless philosophers, dating from Volney down to Humboldt. In Eng land the exclusive cultivation of the physical sciences has led to one extreme. In Ger many the exclusive cultivation of mental philosophy has led to another. In the latter country the system has produced visionaries ; in the former Deists and Atheists, or—which is, if possible, even worse—an enormous multitude of indifferentists and latitudinarians. By a gradual infusion of more sober inquiries into the philosophic schools and coteries of Germany a beneficent alteration is being already effected —" spiritualism is gradually becoming more material, and materialism more spiritual." The extremes of the credulous majority and the sceptical minority are being knit up together, and on the anvil of revolutions they will doubtless be soon welded into one solid and homogeneous mass. In England a modification of an equally surprising character remains to be effected : and for the further ance of this great social improvement we do not recollect a more distinctly initiative step than the publication of Mr. Blakey's novel and ingenious " History of the Philosophy of Mind." It is a work abounding with treasures culled from the golden reliquary of classic literature. It is of such mar vellous scope (extending as it does from Thales to \Vhewell), and of such various character (embracing as it does the gaudy hallucinations of Paracelsus and the practicable schemes of Gioberti), that it brings irre sistibly to our remembrance the panegyric pronounced by Byron on the masterpiece of the inimitable Bur- ton. Any one, said Byron, after reading the " Ana tomy of Melancholy," might pass through life as a good classical scholar, although wholly unacquainted with any other work relating to the Greek and Latin literature. Any one, say we, might pass through life creditably, as a proficient in metaphysical philosophy, after perusing this single work on its developement. The symmetry, so to speak, which is imparted to the knowledge of mental,philosophy by the mode in which the different metaphysicians have been classified by Mr. Blakey, is something surprising, after the chaos in which the mind of the student has hitherto floundered about without beacon or landmark, without either compass or rudder. To afford some conception of the manner in which this is accomplished, we may cur sorily advert to the construction of the materials con stituting the four volumes of the " History." Volume One, consisting of thirty-eight chapters, describes the origin and progress of metaphysics from the earliest period of mental speculation to the commencement of the scholastic philosophy—particularizing in the mental philosophy of Greece, the lonic School (Thales, Anaximander, Diogenes, Anaxagoras, &c.); the Italian School (Pythag o ras) ; th e El ea ti c School (Zenophanus, Heraclitus, &c.) ; the Second Eleatic School (Empedocles, Damocritus, &c.) ; the Greek Sophists (Socrates, Protagoras) ; the Cyrenic and Cynical Schools ; the Schools of Megara, Elis, and Eretria (Euclid, Plato, Aristotle) ; the Sceptical , School • the Stoical School ; the Alexandrian School, Lady Harriet Hamilton was prevented from having the honour of joining the royal party at the Castle on Wednesday. Lord John Russell arrived in town yesterday from Pembroke Lodge, Richmond Park. Several of the Cabinet Ministers visited his Lordship at his residence in Chesham- place. The Ecclesiastical Commissioners for England had a meeting yesterday, at their office, in Whitehall place. CELEBRATION OF THE BIRTHDAY OF HIS ROYAL HIGHNESS THE PRINCE OF WALES. Yesterday being the seventh anniversary of the birth of his Royal Highness Edward, Prince of Wales, it was observed as a holiday in the offices of the Duchies of Cornwall and Lancaster. The children of the Welsh School, in Gray's Inn-lane, of which his Royal Highness is patron, were regaled with a feast and holiday. At Windsor Castle her Majesty gave an entertain ment, and a grand review of the troops stationed at Windsor took place in the Home Park, in the after noon, in honour of the event.

Candidates for honours, of which there are forty, are required to attend at the writing school, on Saturday, the 11th instant, at ten o'clock. , and its numerous followers. Subsequently is men tioned the Roman School of Moral Philosophy, illus trated by the genius of Cicero and Lucretius. Neat CAMBRIDGE, OCT. 8.-At a Congregation holden this day, the following degrees were conferred:— M.A. (by Royal Mandate)—H. Woodrow, Caius Col lege. come the United Philosophers of India • the Gnostic Metaphysicians ; the New Platonists, and the Ancient Fathers of the Church, including Origen, Isidore, Tertullian, St. Augustine, Cassiodorus, Cyprian, Eu sibius, Ambrose, Jerome, and Chrysostom. The Arabian Metaphysicians, the Persian Sophists, the Cabalistic Metaphysicians, the Philosophers of the Jews, and the Metaphysicians of the Saxons, such as Alcuin and the Venerable Bede, bring the first volume to a conclusion. Volume Two, numbering thirty chapters, carries the sciences down to the period of Locke —recording the labours of the Scholastic Metaphysicians (Lanfranc, St. Thomas Aquinas, St. B onaventure, Duns Scotus, arc.), and on the appearan ce o f D ante, Raymond Lully * Erasmus, Cornelius Agrippa, Paracelsus, Luther, Calvin, Melancth on , K nox, Lord Bacon, Robb, es Montaigne, D esc h rtes, P ascal, Malebranche, Spinoza, B ossuet, H uygens, Fenelon Fontenelle, Leibnitz, and John L oc k e. Volume Three,' containing twenty two chapters t ,proceeds as far as the first French Re volution at the close of the last century, particulariz.. ing such men as Wollaston, Butler, Stillingfleet, Bayle, Berkeley, Hume, Rousseau, Turgot, D'Alemb er t , Horne Tooke, Diderot, Voltaire, Priestly, Helyeti us , Hartley, Darwin, Fergusson, Emmanuel Kant, Volney, Condorcet, and Cabanis. Volume Four, comprising nine chapters of consider able length, terminates only with the present time, detailing the labours of Dugald Stewart, Thomas Brown, Coleridge, Whewell, Macintosh, Schlegel, Fichte, Royer Collar,l, Lamemnais, Buchez, Benjamin Constant, Brissot, Victor Cousin, Claude Henri, Count de St. Simon, Charles Fourier, Pierre Leroux, Tommasseo, Gioberti, Mamiani, Van de Weyer, and Emerson. From the mere enumeration of these more prominent among the metaphysical writers of ancient and modern times, some notion may be formed of the effort required in the accumulation of facts for the composition of an historical work such as the one undertaken by Mr. Blakey. The abundance of ma terials almost defied compression intoOihe compass of four volumes, but this compression has been effected by our author with very considerable skill. Occa sionally, it is true, the necessity of reducing matters to the briefest possible compass has induced Mr. Blakey to abbreviate precisely where some slight extension would be most agreeable. Take, for ex ample, the chapter upon Socrates. It occupies scarcely three pages, including a note of reference. Of all — B.D.—George Williams, King's College. LL.B.—T. C. Williams, Catharine Hall. M.A.—P. 11. Anderson, Corpus College; James Hut chinson, St. John's College ; J. H. Lang, Magdalen College. At the same Congregation the following graces passed the Senate;— " 1. - To appoint Mr. Rowland Williams, of King's College, an Examiner of the Classical Tripos for the en suing year. " 2. To authorize the removal of the University Mu niments from the room which they at present occupy in the Pitt Press, and which is damp and ill ventilated, to the great room in the same building recently occupied by the Mesman Collection ; the Syndics not seeing any probability of the latter room being wanted for the purposes of the press, nor any objection to such ap propriation. "3. On the 'recommendation of the Syndics of the Press, to grant to the lonian University of Corfu copies of all books which have been printed at the Pitt Press on account of the University, and also of such editions of the Bible and Prayer Book as may be selected by the Syndics.

This viaduct will be formed upon a single arch of cast iron, upwards of 65 feet in span, springing fr om abutments of solid masonry.—Galignani. HISTORY of the PHILOSOPHY of MIND. 4 Vols. By Robert Blahey. I Among all the departments of knowledge, that of Mental Philosophy, or the Philosophy relating to the faculties and po we r s o f i n t e ll ec t, i s the f o remost. Since the time of the Stagyrite, it has been emphatically distinguished as the 7irst Philosophy—all the other branches of thought, those referring to external objects, and those, again, devoted to the consideration of moral duties or obligations, being based, in the first instance, upon the truths established in this paramount field of investigation. Notwithstanding this incontrovertible fact, notwithstanding the univer sally acknowledged pre-eminence of Metaphysics over every other description of Philosophy, it is marvellous to reflect that since the close of the eighteenth century the cultivation of this profound study has been almost entirely neglected in our own country, and that until the appearance of the very remarkable work before us, the science of Mental Philosophy was altogether without an historian. For two powerful reasons, therefore, we are disposed to welcome the publication of these four volumes by Mr. Blakey with a satisfaction in some measure commen surate with the dignity of the subject, the develop ment of which that gentleman has here narrated with so much eloquence and eruditi on . Hi t h erto, we have said, Metaphysics have been without an historian. Political Philosophy has had its Brougham. Moral Philosophy has had its Paley. Physical Philosophy, or Natural Philosophy, as it is more frequently termed, has, in each of its almost innumerable divi sions, had some illustrious exponent—in Chemistry a Brande ; in Optics a Newton ; in Astronomy a Copernicus ; in Anatomy, a Quain ; in Geology, a I3uckland ; in Hydraulics, a Galileo ; in Ethnology, a Prichard ; in Zoology, a Buffon ; in Botany, a Lin naeus ; in Philology, a Leibnitz ; in Mechanics, a Fergusson; and s o on un i n t errupte dl y through acou stics, hydrostatics, pneumatics, navigation, entomology, ornithology, meteorology, ichthyology, conchology, helminthology, mineralogy, and the rest of these in exhaustible departments. But Metaphysical Philo sophy—the philosophy which above all others most required a certainidegree of classification in order to render its results available, and its progressive ad vancement comprehensible—remained without any book of nomenclature. Until Mr. Blakey com pleted these four noble volumes there was no book which attempted, even in the most elementary or superficial manner, to depict the rise and the pro gressive development of the most purely intellectual of all the sciences. Metaphysical Philosophy was never until now deliberately mapped out, chronolo gically or otherwise, if we except the incidental con tributions towards a chart of metaphysics contained in Mr. Hallam's " Literature of the Middle Ages," the preliminary treatises of Cudworth, Enfield, and Stanley, together with the isolated Dissertation by Dugald Stewart, prefixed to the latest edition of the Encyclopwdia Britannica. At length this won derful hiatus in the records of human know the imagination of Paracelsus, the silvans (sylphs), undines (nymphs), gnomes, and salamanders ; in his observations on the dogmatism; of Malebranche with his egotistical " Cogito, ergo situ f' in his delineation of the radiant theories of Descartes, and of the frigid speculations of Spinoza; in his analysis of the Essay of Locke, as well as in his explanation of the idola tribes, the idola specus, the idola fori, and the idola theatri as propounded by Lord Bacon—the historian of mental philosophy has been singularly felicitous. As specimens of the ingenuity with which a theory is " packed" by Mr. Blakey into the most portable dimensions we here transcribe a " table" from his chapter on Locke, and an example of ai P yllogism from that on Aristotle. Here is— "A TABULAR ANALYSIS OF FCFLECTION. 1 - First step to knowledge --Em ployed about Ideas—Distin guished from passive percep tions—Common to all ani mated creatures—ls of three kinds. 'l. Contemplation. 2. Memory. 3. Association. 1. Clear ideas. 2. Wit. 3. Judgment. Ideas of relations. Imperfect in brutes. Ideas of numbers and simple modes. 'Distinguishes,men from brutes —Forms gen&al ideas, or prin ciples from particulars—Genus and species —Essences —Lan guage. 7. VOLITION l. Power l of acting. 2. Power of choosing." ere is a sorites syllogism, which although patent to every schoolboy, may yet be glanced at without dis dain by the general reader, forgetful of the smell of slate pencil, and even of the whang I of the ferule : " Man is an animal, Every animal is a body, Every body is a substance, Therefore every man is a substance." This, our more reminiscent readers will not have forgotten is a form of syllogism of uncommon use, different from the ordinary process, inasmuch as it contains an additional proposition, and from the syl logisms called ethymeme, inasmuch as the ethymeme consists of only two propositions with an intermediate ellipsis. After having perused the laborious work of Mr. Blakey it will be no loner possible to regard the history of metaphysics as presenting " nothing but a wild chaos of abstruse systems, of conflicting opinions, and unshapely chi m e ras ." O n t h e contrary, it will resound upon their memory in a thousand beautiful and ravishing harmonies—harmonies, like those of Beethoven, rendered still more entrancing by this sudden and occasional merging into dissonance. For having carried this daring undertaking to a suc cessful issue Mr. Blakey is alike entitled to our en comium and our congratulations. He has inscribed his name upon the history of metaphysics, and in so doing must have assuredly Dealised his loftiest ambition. I. PERCEPTION.. 2. RETENTION"... 3. DISCERNING.. 4. COMPARING .... 5. COMPOUNDING OR ENLARGING. 6. ABSTRACTION... STAMPORD,- Nov. 10.--Yesterday's fair, for horned ant polled cattle, was the lsrgest ever known. On Tuesday and Wednesday there were arrivals at the vil lages and inns in the neiabbourbo , d from almost all the northern parts of Ow kingdom; they etlkte by rail as well as by road, and army of the lots were accompanied by scotch and Irish drovers. On Wednesday 200 beasts r ached Stamford direct from Glasgow, and yesterday morning the trains brought trucks filled with live stock. It is impossible to judge accurately r f the number of beasts offered for sale, but they were supposed to amount to between 12,000 arid 15,000, or three times the ave nge numher exhibited at Smithfield market on any day during 1847. The open fields extending from the back of the Rock-gardens to Einlyn's close were crowded, and so thickly were the animals studded in the town that St. Pet , -es-street and Scotgate to St. Paul's-street (in cluding the intermediate streets, the Slit , ep-market, and Red Lion-square), were for a time nearly impassable except to those engaged in buying and selling. A cal culation was made that there were 1,500 beasts in Broad street, 800 in Scotgate, 300 in High-street, 600 in Red Lion square, All Saints'-place, and Barnhill, 100 in Ironenoeger-street, 150 in the Sheep-market, &c. There was an abundance of bu3ers, but they took advantage of the extraordinary supply to manifest a shyness in offer ing; the sellers, however, generally refusing to give way, sales at length became pretty brisk, and some thousands changed hands at prices a trifle below those obtained at recent fairs —Stamford Mercuey. THE EDINBURGH CHARTIST TRIALS.-011 Tuesday the trials of the Edinburgh Chartists commenced before the High Court of ,Justiciary in Edinburgh. The Judßes on the b lich were the Lord Justice Clerk, Lord Med wyn, and Lord Mackenzie. The case having been opened, an objection was raised, which has been deemed of such importance as to be laid before the whole bench of Judges, who were to assemble on Thursday to hear the pleadings, and decide upon them. The general im port of the objection is, that while the major proposition of the indictment charges the prisoner Cumming with contravention of the Government Security Bill, sedi tion, and conspiracy, the facts set forth in the minor proposition amount to the crime of high treason. The libel, or indictment, having been read, the case was ad journed for the purpose of arguing the objection stated above. - - • INQUEST ON TUB BODY or Ma. DIAN, THR INVENTOR OF THE DIVING A PPA RAVllB.—Tilts inge nious mechanician was formerly a caulker, but devoted his time exclusively of late years to the invention of the diving app.tratus and other things, for which patents were obtained. Intense application to his pursuit, it is supposed, impaired his intellects, and he was accordingly confined for some time in the lunatic asylum at Peck ham. He committed suicide on Tuesday morning last, by cutting his throat with a razor. The jury, after a careful inquiry, returned a verdict of " Temporary insanity." ROBBERIES ON LORD MAYOR'S DAL—Numerous robberies were committed yesterday amongst the crowds of persons assembled in the streets to witness the pro cession. Purses, pocket-books, and watches rapidly changed owners. No less than thirty charges of pocket picking were entered at the station in Fleet -street in the course of the day, and many other similar robberies were no doubt committed, but, from the dexterity of the thieves, the vigilance of the police was baffled. ST. MARY'S NEWINGTON.—In consequence of the apprehensions entertained of the spread of cholera in the close and crowded streets of St. Mary's Newington, a spcial meeting of the governors and guardians of the poor was held at the workhouse on Tuesday evening. with the view of determining the measure* to be adopted to iusui e immediate and efficient medical sttendaace upon any of the poorer classes when attacked by the epidemic. After some discussion, it was determined to elect ten medical officers in addition to those already appointed, one for each particular locality, but each ge h n s tlas being required to act in any part of the it become necessary. case.

HORNCASTLB.—An awfully sudden death occurred here on Friday last. About eight o'clock in the evening, Mr=. Houlden, aged 68, widow of Mr. Houlden, of Revesby, conversed a s c h eer f u ll y as usual with one of her neighbours, and on w i s hi ng h er good night, repaired into hee own house, fastening the outer door. As she lived alone, and was not stirring so soon as usual the fol— io king morning, one of the neighbours got assistance and entered the house, where Mrs. Houlden was found quite dead, sitting on a chair in her kitchen. It seems that she was seized with death as soon as she entered her house the preceding night, as no preparation had been male for retiring to bed, which was usual with her about nine o'clock.— Verdict of the coroner's inquest, ** Visi tation of God."—Stamford Mercury. DUNEAR.—On Sunday last, in consequence of the insufficiency of the railway fence, several fine sheep escaped from that portion of it which runs through the farm occupied by Mr. Archibald Lawson, West Barns, and, although seen lying on the line by the engineer, such was the vesiocity at which the train was going at the time, that no efforts of his could avert their destruc tion, and seven of them were crushed to pieces.

Bearing in mind the one fact that Socrates was the founder of Moral Philosophy, the importance of his advent upon the intellectual condition of the human race can scarcely be exagge rated by any epithet, however eulogistic. True, it is, without question, that this great man, the chiefest glory of the golden age of Pericles, demands, to . a certain extent, a less particluar mention than some of the less illustrious philosophers of Greece, for inasmuch as he never wrote a syllable himself for the public examination, while they composed volumes. But even in regard to the art of composition and the graces of rhetoric, Socrates requires an inferential consideration, seeing that his spoken lessons inspired so many of his disciples to pen books that can never die, while he himself is said to have versified ..tEsop in his dungeon, and to v e assisted his pupil Euripid es Ms in the production of Ms matchless tragedies. If, how ever, Mr. Blakey has disappointed us in the undue brevity of his chapter upon Socrates, he has ful filled all our expectations in his commentaries upon most of the successors of that glorious phi losopher. In his exposition of the syllogisms of Aristotle; in his account of the exquisite system of Plato relating to images, notionF, and ideas as ap.- pertaining to sensation, to the understanding, and to reason ; in his definition of the conjectures of Demo critus ; in his reference to the ideal creatures born in 7-f; of Pagan antuiut , t one nparable to the immortal son i iscus.
