The manifold advantages to the Heads of Families from the possession of a medicine of known efficacy, that may be resorted to with confidence, and used with success in cases of temporary sickness occurring in families, more or less, every day, are so obvious to all, that no question can be raised of its importance to every householder in the kingdom. From among numerous testimonials, the following is respectfully submitted : " To Mr. Thomas Prout, 229, Strand, London. "No. 5, David-street, Regent-road, Manchester, March 12,1842. " Sir, —I have much satisfaction in communicating to you the re sult of my experience after repeated trials of Frampton's Pill of Health ; and I feel it but justice to state, that in the course of many years' trial of various Aperient Medicines, I have never found results at once so salutary and efficient in the relief of the system from redundant bile, &c., &c., with so little inconvenience ; I am there fore warranted in declaring that they supply to me a means long wanting of being able to recommend to families, schools, and espe cially mercantile men, whether at the desk or on the road, a most valuable resource in an occasional medicine. And I shall take credit to myself if, in giving this testimony, I am the means of making Frampton's Pills more generally known and appreciated.—l am, Sir, respectfully yours , " WILLIAM SMITH." The unprecedented sale of these Pills, arising from the earnest recommendations of the many thousands who have derived benefit from their use, render any lengthened comment unnecessary. They are not put forth as a cure for all diseases to which mankind is liable, but for Bilious and Liver Complaints, with their many well.• known attendants, Bilious and Sick Head-ache, Pain and Oppression after meals, Giddiness, Dizziness, Singing Noise in the Head and Ears, Drowsiness, Heartburn, Less of Appetite, Wind, Spasms, Sec. Two or three doses will convince the afflicted of their salutary effects. The stomach will speedily regain its strength; a healthy action of the Liver, Bowels and Kidneys will rapidly take place ; and instead of listlessness, heat, pains, and jaundiced appearance, strength, activity, and renewed health, extending to good old age, will be the result of taking this medicine, according to the directions accompanying each box.

Diffidence, sense of right determine the former, and miscalculated hopes em bitter the latter. The solitary one may shield himself under the plea of caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret un comprosieg harry ; but the truth lies deeper. Physical incapacity, and broken health, are the great hindrances to domestic happiness end social content. The dowry should net be the only marriage set tlement. Honour and justice dentsuad that health should form au item in the compact; it alone dignifies the alliance. Blighted hopes or neglect wound more sorely than poverty or misfortune.

Argyll-place Regent-street; and all Booksellers. OVE is the leading feeling of the harnan breast. More exalted than mere passion, it soars high above every oilier impulse of nature, and is not only stronger than avarice, but more engrossing even than ambition. No man is exempt from its inluence, or 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 sacred 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 of 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 the fulfilment of , important ends. The wretched condition of such a being must subsequently be beyond measure deplorable 1 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 nnalleyed 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 engravings on the anetomy, physiology, and diseases of the reproductive organs ; with practical observa ions on the secret infirmities of youth and maturity, resulting from solitary habits, excesses, or infection. By SAMUEL LAWERT, M.D., Doctor of Medicine, Matriculated Member of the University of Edinburgh, Licentiate of Apothecaries' Hall, 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 TILE WORK. La'Mert on the Infirmities of Youth 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 1 In the book before us 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." —United Kingdom Magazine.

BEDFORD-SQUARE. LONDON. FORGERIES ON BANNS.—At Warwick County Court, on Tuesday, an action was brought by Mr. Blunn, a tradesman at Leamington, a7ainst the Warwick and Leamington Banking Company, to recover 51., the amount of loss sustained by him in having taken, in the coarse of business, a forged bill on that establishment. It was alleged by the plaintiff, as the ground on which he brought the action, that the defendants had been guilty of negligence in not having given public notice of forged notes on their banks being in circulation, al though they were aware such forgeries had been issued. After a lengthened argument as to whether the banking company were by law called upon to give notice of the forgeries (even supposing they were in possession of such information) and the examination of many wit nesses, the ease went to the jury, who found for the defendants. A RAFT LOAD OF MONKEYS.--We find the fol lowing story in La Democratic Pacifique:—" A state corvette, just returned from a cruise in the Indian seas, brings news of a rather curious incident. At one of the islands a dozen monkeys were caught and brought on board. Their gambols were mightily relished by the crew. One night, however, when the ship was out at sea, some of the monkeys managed to get into the com mandant's cabin, scattering ink over official charts and papers, and perpetrating other mischiefs, so that he ordered them all to be flung into the sea. The sailors, however, were much grieved at this, and, on their re monstrance, the commandant gave permission that a raft should be constructed on which the poor animals might be left with some chance of being drifted ashore. The sailors fitted the raft with a small mast and a sail, which they set easterly in the direction of the land. They placed on the frail skiff a store of biscuit and water, and then were obliged to abandon the twelve proscripts to their fate. The crew, much moved, waved their hats, wished them bon voyage, and watched them out of sight." THE DIAMOND AND THE PEARL.--The title of this new novel, by Mrs. Gore, typifies the characters of two fair sisters, whose adventures form the groundwork of the story, the brilliancy and beauty of which, we aro told, bear a most effective proportion to the name. The plot is said to be full of interest, the scenes full of diver sity, and the characters teeming with spirit, truthfulness, and grace, exhibiting a striking and touching sample of every-day life in the middle as well as in the higher classes of society. After the professed comicalities of modern novels, and the sickening lingo of the ruffian school, it is a welcome relief to be recalled to the scenes and lan guage of civilized life by such writers as Mrs. Marsh and Mrs. Gore.—Evening Paper. INCENDIARY FIRE.--"LUTTEEWOETH 9 Nov. 26. The inhabitants of this town were thrown into a state of great excitement last night by the discovery of a fire in the stack-yard adjoining the rectory-house and grounds, and abutting on Church-street. Upon proceeding to the place, it was found that some miscreant had deliberately set fire to the thatch of one of the buildings, with the evident intention of destroying the whole, th e fi re having been applied to the windward side. An alarm being given, and assistance rendered with a promptitude and activity that deserves the great est praise, and the eng i ne being well supplied with water, the fire was confined to the building where it originated and an adjoining one. The premises are the property of the Itsv. R. H. parish, and occ u pi e d b y Mr. Johnson, the rector of the Lucas, veterinary surgeon. This is the second fire of a similar character that has occurred in the town within the last few weeks. FIRE •AT GLASGOW.—About half-past ten o'clock on Monday night a fire broke out in the premises of Messrs. Kidston and Waters , colour merchant s , Wash ington-street. From the great q uantit y of varnish, tur pentine, oil, &c. kept on hand, the flames spread with ' great rapidity, and soon obtained such ascendancy that every part of the building caught fire, and burned with uncontrollable fury. Immediately adjacent to the paint shop, from which it was only separated by a partition wall, stood the premises of Mr. Struthers, whip-twine manufacturer. From the direction of the wind the flames also caught hold of the latter building, and , notwith • standing every exertion, no part of the building- escaped destruction; even the brick walls , from the fierc eneis of the heat, crumbled and fell inwards. The flames were confined to the properties already mentioned, which, however, were entirely consumed, scarcely anything being saved from the wreck. The buildings were the property of Mr. Liddell, and were formerly occupied by him as part of the Globe Foundry, which still carries on operations in the immediate neighbourhood. We understand that all the sufferers by the fire are insured. It is not known how it originated.—North British Mail.

TIMES.—It is not often that in the daily records of mortality which mark in these columns the ever-ebbing tide of human life, we have to announce an event more painful to a large circle of friends, or one more to be re• gretted by this nation, than the death of Mr. Charles Buller, late Memb er f Parliament for the borough o Liskeard and Commissioner of the Poor-laws. Even amidst the dark and portentous occurrences of the pre sent year, such a loss will be universally felt, for the failure of the highest promise at the moment when the steep ascent has been already climbed, and the successful performance of manly duty has just crowned the aspira tions of youth, costs the world a pang beyond the death of those who sink in the fulness of years or the maturity of renown. Mr. Buller bad scarcely completed his 41st year, but from an early age he had given promise of more than ordinary abilities. At Harrow he already showed that beneath the abundant gaiety of the boy lay the energy of a powerful understanding, and he left school with the highest honours. At Cambridge his mind was directed to the studies appropriate to a poli tical career more than to the peculiar accomplishments of the University; and at 23 he entered Parliament on the eve of the Reform Bill for the borough of the West Loci°, which belonged to his family. His party was, however, then and for life the party of the Teople. He voted for the Bill, lost his borough, and was subsequently returned for Lislseat d—a seat which he retained till the moment of his death. The earlier days of his Parlias mentary life were those when a contest of great impor tance to the nation was going on amongst the supporters and members of the Government, between the principle of finality and that of progressive reform. The sympathy of Mr. Buller was not warmly excited by the character or the politics of Lord John Russell, and he ranged himself amongst the firmest friends and adherents of Lord Durham. The leading members of the Whig party of that day had failed to discover what administrative powers lay disguised beneath a wit which every one admired, and they mistook the absence of strong party feelings for the absence of vigorous con victions and steadfast principles. Lord Durham had Tot - Died a mere justesppreciation of Mee Bulter'ne talents... and at once appointed the young Member for Liskeard Secretary to the Government of Canada. When that colonial administration came to an abrupt termination, the country learned with surprise that the masterly re port which bore the name of the Governor-General, and which will be remembered as one of the ablest and most effective State papers of this age, was the production of Mr. Buller's pen. From that time forward Mr. Buller's attention was directed with especial industry to the state of the British colonies and to emigra tion. The most considerable experiment in indepen dent colonization which had been made by Englishmen since the reign of Elizabeth was the enterprise of the New Zealand Company, and although the result of that un dertaking fell far short of the hopes of its promoters, it relaxed nothing of Mr. Buller's zeal to direct the energy, capital, and population of these islands to their natural outlet in the foreign dependencies of the empire. These subjects occupied his attention during the whole period of Sir R. Peel's Government, more than the mere contest of party; but he had gradually obtained the ear of the House of Commons; the playfulness of his manner had become not the mask but the ornament of his political talents; and the attachment universally felt for the man had ripened into confidence in the judgment and courage of the statesman. On the formation of the Whig Cabinet of 146 it was generally anticipated that Mr. Buller would be raised to office in the department for which his knowledge of colonial subjects singularly fitted him; and it was with surprise that the public learned his ap pointment to the sinecure office of Judge Advocate- General, which afforded no opportunities for the display of his remarkable Parliamentary talents. Mr. Buller declined with genuine modesty the rank of Privy Coun cillor, which is commonly given to the Judge Advocate, saying that he had not yet deserved it. In less than two years, however, he voluntarily exchanged this office, which is one of the least laborious and easy posts in the Administration, for one burdened with great labour, and surrounded by perils.; The Poor-law Com mission had sunk under public obloquy, the existence of the New Poor-law was itself shaken; when Mr. Buller, at the direct sacrifice of his own convenience and of a portion of his income, consented to assume the duties of sole Poor-law Commissioner. To speak of success in such a position would be almost unmean ing; tke very nature of an office which seeks to ab sorb into itself the various and complicated functions of every class of society, and to bind down the wants and sympathies of human nature with the iron formula) of a cold and heartless economy, precludes the possi bility of such a consummation: it is, nevertheless, but due to Mr. Buller to say, that, compared with the long triumvirate of his predecessors, his own brief reign was one of peace and good-will; and that, guided rather by the dictates of his own good heart than by the maxims of the law which he was called upon to administer, he was animated by a warm and affectionate desire to alleviate the sufferings and improve the condition of the poor. These subjects, however engrossing, did not absorb his whole attention, for whilst he left no duties of his station unperformed,the sedulously pursued the studies and the relations which befit the largest objects of an English statesman. In the affairs of foreign nations, especially in those which are struggling for the establish ment of constitutional liberty, he took a strong and en lightened interest, and one of the last subjects which had I occupied his thoughts was a comprehensive scheme for the improvement of the condition of Ireland. These and all the other pursuits of his amiable and accom plished life have been abruptly ended. An attack of typhus fever supervened after surgical treatment, and after a very short illness Mr. Buller expired. It is scarcely within our province to commemorate the private and personal qualities of this lamented gentle. man, and if we advert to his character in this place it is because we esteem his death to be a public as well as a social loss. But those only who enjoyed the charm of his personal intercourse can describe the brilliancy of fancy which shone in all the caprices of his wit, or the tenderness of a nature that never allowetnhatiwit to inflict a wound. With nothing of the cant of patriotism, and little of the creed of party, he lived in singleness of de votion to the public good. His name will be remem bered amongst those who have been finely called " The inheritors of unfulfilled renown;" and if from his untimely end he leave no conspicuous monument of his public labours, the greater is the loss to England,: which is: deprived of, one who, like Can ning or Francis Horner, is enrolled among the honour able and the good, more even for what he was than for what he performed. CHRONICLE.—The sudden death of Mr. Charles Buller, in the very prime of life, is an event which will have affected with very deep pain public men of all parties, and have produced a general feeling of regret. The prominent position which he held for many years, as an active Member of Parliament—a position which he owed not to family connexions or party ties, but to his own rare and original talents—had already secured for him a very large amount of respect and consideration, even from the most cursory observers of political affairs; and his appointment to so important and responsible a si tdation as that of admistrator of the Poor-law in this country, seemed to justify all the favourable impressions which a long Parliamentary life had created. Still he was one of those men whose selection for the public ser vice depends upon the discernment of the conductors of government, in this country; because, although during the greater portion of his Parliamentary life he carried liberal opinions to almost their extreme verge, he was not in the habit of basing his influence on appeals to popularity with the multitude. Our notice of the life of Mr. Charles Buller must necessarily be somewhat brief —partly from the suddenness of his demise at so early an age, and partly because the development of his cha racter rested more upon intellectual efforts, than upon any series of political acts such as give colour and circumstance to the lives of men more di rectly connected with popular movements. The deceased gentleman was the son of Mr. Charles Buller, a younger son of Mr. Buller, of Morval. Mr. Charles Buller, sen., distinguished himself in the civil service of the East India Company; the family had great Parliamentary interest in Cornwall, and Mr. Charles Buller, sen., represented in Parliament, for many years, West Looe, a nomination borough, which was swept away by the Reform Bill. The son was also Member for West Looe, and by voting for the Reform Bill lost his seat. But West Looe having been dis franchised by that measure, Mr. Charles Buller was re turned for Liskeard, a borough in which his family pos sesses considerable influence. He continued to repre sent the borough until his death, and we have, conse quently, no fluctuations of political fortune to record in his case, such as are to be found in the public lives of most other prominent men in the House of Commons. Mr. Charles Buller was always relieved from anxiety with respect to his seat in Parliament; he was, therefore, the more at liberty to pursue his intellectual bent, and to fix upon the public mind the true impress of his character. In what we have said above respecting the general tone of his political opi nions, we have anticipated the few details which it is necessary to give as to his votes in Parliament. Mr. Charles Buller was born in Calcutta, in August, 1806. He received his first education at Harrow. From thence ho went to Trinity College, Cambridge, where, even among the youthful Liberals of his (lay, he was remarkable for the lengths to which he car ried his theories . of liberty. Our readers need not be told that there has existed (as there still exists, though not in its pristine vigour) a society or club in that University called " The Un ion, " in wheel' the young n d ardent spirits of the University exercise their a early intellectual strength in debating various topic s that are or may be the subject of discussion in more important places. In this sphere, too, the child is oft the father of the man; and not a few of our leading orators and statesmen have fleshed their maiden weapons in this arena of memetic strife. Mr. Charles Buller was one of the most active talkers of his day in these juvenile dis cussions, and even there he was remarkable for the qualities which afterwards distinguished hire in the House of Commons, his pioneering in the un attempted (or forbidden) regions of discussion, and for his vivacity and unsparing wit. He took a bachelor's degree, wo believe, in 1828, but we are not aware that he aimed at or achieved higher University honours. Perhaps, as was the case in his after life, had he more restrained his discursive propensities and his overflowing humour, ho might have attained a more enduring dis• ' tinetion. Mr. Charles Buller became a barrister of Lincoln'talnn, but not till a year after he had been re• turned to Parliament. His maiden speech was made in 1830, on Mr. Davenport's motion on the currency. It is not necessary to enter very minutely into his Parliamentary acts, because his reputation does not rest so much upon his votes, or upon any specific course of political action, as upon his peculiar talents as a speaker, and latterly as an ad ministrative officer. Mr. Buller was always theoreti cally in advance even of that liberal section of the Liberal party to which he might be said to belong. His votes counted as one upon each question, but his speeches leer) ; worth much- more. lie was a steady opponent of the corn laws long before those who have since given him office " took up" that question. He was against property qualification for Members ; in favour of triennial Parliaments ; in favour of removing the Bishops from the House of Lords ; and on almost every question of that class hs was always ready to support the Radicals, even down to questions which were almost beneath the calibre of his mind. But, on the other hand, he was always a steady supporter of the Poor-law Amendment Act, and voted and spoke in favour of national education. In 1833 he stood forward to move an adverse amendment to the Irish Coercion Bill; and on several other occasions, too numerous is require mention here, he appeared far in advance of the then opinions of the party who afterwards adopted him as an ally ' and an administrative assistant. The first decisive step he made on his own account in Par liament, which can be said to have established him in the high opiuion of his contemporaries, was his speech on the public records—a luminous and brilliant effort, full-pf knowledge most lucidly conveyed, and pregnant with valuable suggestions, which were af terwards adopteckmore or less in legislation. But that speech, like almostaliVr. Charles Buller's speeches in the House of Commis `was weakened by an unfortunate propensity toindulgle in a habit of joking for joking's sake; so that, for many wears, the real sterling talent of his Parlianientary displayie::was obscured by what ap peared a triviality of mind not to be corrected or over come. Still it was impossible, even for him, to destroy the effect from time to time produced upon his hearers by his intellectual power, and by his inutepracticalacquain -tarree with the detailsaf,..sucy"ect he, touched upon. Th Steadily, and in spite of himsel ,e made his with iii i j the House ; and although the Whigs could scarcely count upon him as a supporter during the greater portion of his Parliamentary life, yet, when, their policy had ap proximated somewhat nearer to that which, in theory, he had always advocated, the transition on his part from a state of independence to the acceptance of office was almost natural and inevitable. His final appointment to the office of President of the Poor-law Board was at once received with approbation by the public ; and so far as he had the opportunity of developing his aptitude for the discharge of its functions, he has re ceived the approbation of the public. The pressure of business during the last session of Parliament had ex cluded all minor subjects, which were driven off till to wards the end of the session. But Mr. Charles Bullerintro duced a series of measures for the better administration of the details of, that law which displayed an intimate acquaintance with the principles which ought to regulate that great branch of our general legislative system. Those measures were adopted so far as the state of the public business would allow. Mr. Charles Buller was one of those Parliamentary speakers whose influence, altogether irrespective of politics, was, strictly speak ing, legitimate. A deliberative assembly ought to be all-sufficient to itself s and it should not, in the persons of the chief , exponents of opinion, take its laws from with: out. The House of Commons is, however, too often much more guided by the importance a Member de rives from his constituency than by his own in trinsic merit or worth. By'no means a general rule, this tendency operates with much more force on the " Liberal" than on the Conservative side. Mr. Charles Buller was a living exception. Nothing was more common than to hear the chief leaders of party on either side combatting in debate the arguments of the Hon. Member for Lis keard. But Mr. Buller had a habit of analyzing every subject that came under his notice. Even though he might have a strong bias, still he always put the case so clearly and stated the arguments on either side so fairly and cogently, that it was almost impossible to avoid meeting him either on the one side or the other. What ever question he might' take up, it was almost certain that he would -present an original view of it, or, if that were impossible, such an admirable summing up and exposition of the whole case, that those who did not like his arguments were staggered by the facts, while those who accepted the facts were beguiled by his arguments. Another characteristic of his Parliamentary speaking was the humorous turn he constantly . gave even to the graVest subjects. In the House of Commons, however, his more solid merits were, known, and his trivial treat went of important subjects was accepted as often an agreeable relief from the dry and hard neces sities of legislation. Amongst his political contem poraries of all parties he was deservedly a favourite. The extremities of opinion in which he early indulged were. considered not so much dangerous manifestations, as the caprices and relaxations of an astute and powerful intellect, which the mellowing influence of time would steady and shape into more legitimate courses. Long before he was offered office he had been looked upon as a man pre-eminently qualified for it; and when, at last, he shook off the occasional flippancy which had de tracted from the manly vigour of his intellect, and had created a prejudice against his administrative capacity, common consent selected him as one for whom few situations in the State would be too onerous. His appointment to the management of the Poor-law Board was accepted as a proof of discernment in those who made it ; and his premature de cease alone arrested the expectations of future valuable service entertained alike by those public men who had opportunities of knowing his worth, and by the public, in whom his frequent displays of ability in Parliament had insensibly induced a hope of future service. We will add that an early love of persiflage, and an occasionally light mode of discussing serious questions, had led superficial observers to believe that he was not a man of strict principle ; but an honester man, or a man more incapable of sacrificing principle to expediency. never lived, and the best proof is his career. If he had been regardless of his early political faith, or careless with whom he acted ; had he simply been con teat to co-operate from the commencement with either one of the aristocratic parties in the State ; had he been " arrogant and grasping, faithless and false," he might long ago have secured a seat in the Cabinet. But he was really conscientious and high minded ; if occa sionally he said an indiscreet thing, he never did a mean one; and amidst all the shiftings and tremblings of the political compass, he retained his consistency unchal lenged, and pointed true to the last. We must net for get to mention that he contributed largely at one period to an evening newspaper; and whenever journalism was assailed in his presence in society, never hesitated to declare himself a member of the " press •gang," anti a " gentleman of the press." He also wrote occasionally for the leading reviews; and the review of Lamartine's " History of the Girondins," in the Edinburgh Review, was by him. Altogether, he was a very clever, very amiable, and very valuable man, and (we repeat delibe rately) his loss at this particular period will be felt far beyond the circle of his party or his friends. CHATHAM, NOT. 27.—CORFORAL PUNISHMENT ON A SOLDIER.—This afternoon the 17th Regiment assem bled in marching order, on the parade ground of the barracks, to witness the sentence of a court-martial car ried out on private William Cash, - who was tried last week for absenting himself from tattoo on the 4th inst., and also for escaping from an escort and striking his pay sergeant, and for having (when brought to the barracks as a prisoner) struck and dangerously kicked the corporal of the regimental guard into whose custody he was given. The Court, of which Colonel Ellis, Royal Marines, was president, found the prisoner guilty, and he was sen tenced to receive fifty lashes, and further, to be impri soned, with hard labour, for twelve months. The part of the sentence of fifty lashes was commuted to twenty five, by the Commander .in -Chief, which were inflicted to day. The prisoner bore the punishment with forti tude, and when released from the halberts was taken to the hospital; from thence he will be removed to Fort Clarence, the military prison. Since corporal punish ment has been so much avoided, the striking and abusing non-commissioned officers is of frequent occurrence. SEAFORD, SUSSEX. WRECK OF A SWEDISH SCHOONER, AND Two LIVES LOST.—Early this MOM. ing (Wednesday) during a heavy gale, a Swedish schooner, the Lafayette, of Underwalld, from St. Übes, laden with salt, was wrecked in Seaford Bay, and, sad to state, two of the crew (Swedes) out of seven are drowned. One of the unfortunate deceased, apparently a fine young man, said to be Nicholas Nelson, was soon after washed ashore here, and will be interred at the parish church to-morrow. The vessel is much damaged and has already lost one of her sides, and it is thought the next tide will knock her to pieces.

The distribution of the valuable Bri tish and foreign specimens to the members during the present year had given the greatest satisfaction; and in creased exertion had been made this season to obtain the more interesting plants which had been attended with success; while great progress had been made in the arrangement of the British Herbarium. The report was unanimously adopted, after which a ballot took place for the council for the ensuing year, when the chairman was re-elected president, and he nominated Mr. J. Miers, F.R.S., and Mr. E. Doubleday, F.L.S., vice. presidents; Mr. J. Reynolds and Mr. G. E. Dennes, F.L.S., were severally re-elected treasurer and secretary. LOCK JAW.—This hitherto fatal disease in animals has recently been cured by a new operation, whereby the animal obtains instantaneous relief. The muscles, which were considered to be extensors, are now found to be flexors.

Mr. Denison and Sir Culling Eardley Eardley are prosecuting their canvass of the West Riding of York shire. The former was yesterday at Barnsley, the later at Doncaster. . --- A meeting of electors was to be held at Leeds last night, to determine whether the united support of the li beral party should be given to Sir Culling Eardley or to Mr. J. A. Roebuck, the friends of the latter considering that he has been unhandsomely treated in being brought to Leeds to oppose Mr. Fazwilliam, and then sacri ficed to Sir Culling when no other competitor was in the field. THE LEAGUE PARTY IN MANCHESTER.—A meet ing of free traders in Manchester was held at the League-rooms on Tuesday evening, for the purpose of promoting Sir Culling Eardley's election for the West Riding.. Mr. G. Wilson, chairman of the ex-League, was called to the chair. A discussion of some length occurred, in which Mr. John Bright, M.P., Mr. James Kershaw, and`other gentlemen, took part, and at the close the following resolutions were unanimously passed :—" That, inasmuch as Sir Culling Eardley Eardley has been nominated as a candidate for the re presentation of the West Riding by the delegates assem bled at Normanton on Wednesday last, and in his ad dress and speeches has avowed himself in favour of free trade, retrenchment of the public expenditure, Parlia mentary reform, and opposed to the extension of the principles of religious endowments, this meeting calls upon the Liberal electors of the West Riding in Lanca shire to give their hearty support to their friends in Yorkshire, and to promote by all proper means the re turn of Sir Culling E. Eardley to Parliament. That the gentlemen present (with power to add to their number) form themselves into a committee for the purpose of car rying out the foregoing resolutions." It is understood that active measures will be immediately taken in Man chester and Lancashire generally by the free trade or Liberal party to promote and secure Sir Culling Eard ley's election. THE VISHOP OF LONDON AND THE HON. AND REV. BAPTIST NOEL.—Last night, at the usual Wednesday evening's service at St. John's Chapel, Bedford-row, where Mr. , Noel has officiated for the last twenty-six years, the Rev. Gentleman said—" My dear Christian brethren, many of you have heard that, as the result of opinions deliberately formed, which I know not how to alter, and the force of conviction, which I am not per mitted to resist, I have been obliged to announce my intention of leaving this congregation, where I have ministered for so long a period with comfort and satis faction to myself, if not with profit to others. Since I addressed you last I :have seen my Diocesan, and he considers it to be his duty—an opinion from which I do not dissent—to determine that I shall not remain widlh you beyond next Sabbath. This, therefore, is the last Wednesday evening on which I shall have the privilege of addressing you." His " Reasons for Seceding from the Church of England" were yesterday put into the hands of the; printer, and it is expected the work, which will form a thick octavo volume, will be ready for publication in about three weeks. THE BRITISH Musnum.—Yesterday a splendid specimen of mosaic pavement was placed in the national collection at the British Museum, in the passage leading to the Gallery of Xanthian Antiquities. The specimen is about eight feet square, and was found in the ruins of Carthage, on the spot assigned as the site of the Temple of Neptune, and was purchased by th e t rus t ees o f t h e Museum. n reaching this country, it was found broken in innumerable pieces; but under the skilful hand of Sir R. Westruacott, it has been restored. It represents the head of a sea god, with flowing beard, and feet of the sea horse. METROPOLITAN IMPROVEMENTS. Yesterday a number of houses situate in Tower -street and Lumber court, Seven Dials, were being pulled down for the pro posed impfovements in that neighbourhood, and to form the new street from the point of junction of Oxford street, Tottenham-court-road, and Crown-street, to the end of St. Martin's-lane, next Trafalgar-square. O n Thursday the widening of Cannon-street, from Dowgate hill to King William-street, London-bridge, commences. All the houses on the east side thereof are to be pulled down, and rebuilt back twenty feet ; as also the forma -1 tion of the new thoroughfare fro in the south en d of Walbrook to Southwark-bridge. A new street isal;o about to be formed from the junction of St. Martin's lane and Long-acre, through Rose-street and New street, into Covent-garden and the Strand. The Duke of Bedford contributes 3,0001. towards the cost of this improvement. New streets are to be opened from Little to Great Tower-hill, and from Tower-hill to Fenchurcli street. Ball-alley, Lombard-street, is to be pulled down and widened. Thoroughfares are also to be opened from the East India Dock-road, at Limehouse, to the north entrance ; from St. John's church, Bethnal-green, and the junction of the Cambridge-heath and Hackney roads, to the west entrance of Victoria-park. The last remaining portion of the notorious St. Giles's Rookery, called Church-lane, is to be demolished forthwith ; and a new street, called Ntigee-street, opened from opposite St. Giles's church to New Oxford-street. A thorough fare is to be opened from the south end of Cha':ing cross suspension-bridge, passing through Belv edere road, across Manners-street, to the York-road station of the South-Western Railway. PRESENTATION.-On Friday evening Sergeant John Coghill, of the Royal Mid-Lothian Yeomanry- Ca valry, and Colour-Sergeant John Tinsley, of the Adju tant-General's-office, were entertained at supper in Mr. M'Callum's tavern, Hunter-square, by the eleventh divi sion of special constables, to whom they had proved of service in drilling them, on the recent occasion when they were embodied for the protection of the public peace. Captain Moffat afterwards presented each of the sergeants with a gold chain, as a mark of the apprecia tion by the constables for the important , services they had rendered.—Edinburgh Advertiser. MONUMENT TO THE LAST SCOTTISH MARTYR.— An elegant marble monument, with a suitable inscrip tion, having been lately erected by the her itors and parishioners, in the church of Lunan, to the memory of Walter Mill, the last Scottish martyr, who, under Popery, suffered for his adherance to he Protestant faith, Mr. Barclay, the respected minister of the parish, preached an appropriate sermon onaidona justthe Sabbath following (Nov. 12) fro m Hebrews xi., 4-- "He being dead, yet speaketh." Havin g tribute of respect and grat i tu d e to the memory p of the martyrs of old, and having pointed out in an impressiv e manner the obligations we li e under to t he early Re rormere, Mr. Barclay directed the attention of his hearers to a full and interesting account of Walter Mill, who, in the days of other years, was so intimately connected with the parish of Lunan and its neighbourhood, and who " being dead, 3et speaketh:'—Edinburgh Evening Post. STRANGE CIRCUMSTANCE.—A boy named Edwin Hayball, of Chard parish, one day last week fell into a millpond, and was supposed to be drowned; he was, however, taken out of the water and the body carried home. Everybody believed the child dead except his mother, whose affliction was very great. She took him in her arms and held him before the fire. -After nearly half an hour the child showed symptoms of returning consciousness, upon which some change in the position of the body took place, when it was discovered that the child's foot had been in the fire and was dreadfully burnt. A surgeon having been called in did what was necessary, and the child was getting on very well. About three days after the mother placed him before the fire for a moment whilst she went into the garden, and on her re turn she was horror-struck to find her child burnt almost to a cinder. It is a singular coincidence that a girl, the cousin of the above-named Edwin Hayball, a short time since fell into the fire, and one of her breasts was almost entirely consumed; in her agony she ran to the millpond, to allay the pain by bathing the breast with cold waiver, when she fell in and was drowned. An inquest has ) '..,een held on Edwin Hayball, and a verdict of " Accifi en t a l Death" returned.—Devon Chronicle. INTERMIXTURE GP BLOOD.—In Ins* the people are a mixture of Lowland Scotch from tl; (3 west, with a smaller proportion of English. The speech is of the Scottish dialect of English, and the countenan ce is more of the Scotch•typ e . Th e peeple are hard w orking and thrifty, so that Ulster, th c`u' i e with the poorest soil and coldest climate, is that 'p rov ince of Ireland where the people are best provie ie d , and in no respect inferior to the northern parts of England. Along the east coast and in the seapor Irish, the Eng)l ish sett l ers h a ving been mostly from '-- 1 Essex. rh also of rs the race is a mixture of En g lish and t. 'nigher and middle cla sses of Ireland are , a mixed race. The mixed races are remarkable for ' al eauty of form, for 'native wit, for great readiness 'hnd brilliant talent , not for steadiness ner soundness. The mixed English and Irish are among the cleverest and handsomest 1 people in the world.— Wyld's Popular Atlas. ;lion vers, n in per uali ency bout corn rom et is not fine rice. ikes. , per ;/ 15s 815 s rs 6d is Od 915 s rrent berg urgh urgh burg an... -day re is per n Ii- Oats sup- Won saes. !ans, to ~947 )eas, n for bar -3 re' 3 2dt treet, V.
