BETT'S PATENT BRANDY having been Jlfinow before the Public since 1825, the prosf of its excellence in its use by discriminative consumers being continuous and increasing. and its purity and excellence being vouched for by the HIGHEST MEDICAL AUTHORITIES, warrant Messrs.

Their PATENT METALLIC CAPSULES arc, at the same time. effective security to the public against the fraudulent substitution of any inferior article, whether as regards their PATENT BRANDY, their celebrated Whiskey, " THE DEW OFF BEN NEVIS," or their STANDARD OF COGNAC BRANDY; either of which may be oqained of respectable Wine and Spirit Merchants throughout the ; or in quantities of not less than Two Gallons, from J.

Sir,—ln consideration of the great beneftt I have derived from taking Frampton's Pill of Health, I feel it a duty that I owe to you and the public to send ypu the following statement. For upwards of nine years I have experienced the efficacy of this excellent medicine. I had long previously been afflicted with headache and indigestion, but a friend having induced me to make a trial of Frampton's Pills, I now Inform you that a few doses gave me great relief; and during this long period of time I have taken them in preference to any other medicine ; and I have the happiness of saying that I never had a better state of health, which I attribute to Frampton's Pills. I beg further to add, that this medicine is in general use by my family, and we know of nothing to equal it. " I am, Sir, yours respectfully, THOMAS PROVINCE. " To Mr. T. Front, 229, Strand, London. This excellent Family Pill is a medicine of long-tried efficacy for correcting all disorders of the stomach and bowels, and is a pleasant, safe, easy aperient ; they unite the recommendation of a mild operation with the most successful effect, and require no re straint of diet or confinement during their use. Mk for FRAMPTON'S PILL OF HEALTH, and observe th• name and address of " Thomas Prout, 229, Strand, London," on the Government Stamp. Price Is. 114 d. and 2s. 9d. per hex. CHRISTMAS PREPARATIONS. ON all hands arrangements are making to celebrate the anniversary of Christmas. To create novelty for a festivity so ancient requires Some degree of ingenuity. and to introduce fresh sources of comfort and enjoyment claims more than ordinary talent. For a great number of years novelties in Dress have been an important item in Christmas preparations. What, then, must be the amount of skill possessed by those artists whose introductions are new on each recurrence of this festivity ? It is those only whose success has long been the admiration of all classes, and whose seasonable productions have gained lasting celebrity, who can provide articles of ATTIRE worthy of universal patronage. The DRESS prepared for Christmas by E. MOSES and SON embraces variety, surpassing all attempts at imitation, and exhibits novelties which only the first Tailoring Establishments in the universe can device. To maintain this distinction, E. MOSES and SON'S Chr;st mas Preparations present ATTIRE for ADULTS and JUVENILES in the widest range of taste, the nucleus of their most celebrated styles, DRESS for Christmas parties, the most splendid materials and the neatest workmanship. OVERCOATS and WATERPROOF CLOTHING in the most gentlemanly and comfortable styles. HATS, CAPS, and HOSIERY, unequalled for quallly and beauty, and all Goods charged considerably lower prices than at any other house. — NTB.—Christmas eve being Friday, E. MOSES and SON'S Esta• blishments will be closed at half-past four o'clock. TO EMIGRANTS All requisite Goods and Clothing called an OUTFIT, or the best grreaonutt Outfits st for r e c.

Ship sailing infor mation and full Lists of Outfits may be bad on application, or ost free. A separate department is appropriated to Outfitting. CAUTIOSL—E. MOSES and SON regret having to guard the public against imposition, having learned that the untradesmanlike falsehood of "Being connected with their Establishment," or "It's the same concern," has been resorted to in many instances, and for obvious reasons, they beg to state that they have No CONNEXION WITH ANY OTHER HOUSE IN OR OUT 01 , LONDON, except their own Establishments, as follows : London City Establishment. 154, 155, 156 and 157, Minories, 83, 44, 85, and 86, Aldgate, opposite the Church, all commnmeatina.

[PRICE SD. MR. CHRISTOPHER AND HIS CONSTITUENTS. The following extraordinary letier has been pub lished in a Lincolnshire paper : "TO TUE ELECTORS OF LINDSST. "Gentlemen,—Two advertisements appeared in the last number of the Stamford Mercury, one bearing the signature of R. B. Christopher,' the other that of Montague J. Cholineley."The former of these being an impudent forgery, I pass it by without further com ment. "The latter proceeds from a person who, although re jected by you (from his inattention to business and general incapacity) at the last election, still aspires to the distinction of representing you in Parliament, and on that account only do I consider it deserving of notice. " The writer commences his letter by a wilful perver sion of facts, and draws inferences prejudicial to my poli tical integrity and personal honour. " He states that on my assumption of office my reason for doing so was my conviction that the Government was prepared to reverse the whole financial and commercial policy of the country. He adds, "How often this was repeated in Mr. Christopher's canvass you well know." He further states that I uplifted the banner of Protec tion at Wainfieet on a late occasion ; and insinuates that my votes in Parliament have not been in accordance with my declarations. "Now, gentlemen, I can safely appeal to you whether these insinuations of Sir Montague Cholmeley be the offspring of a distempered imagination, or of a mind in capable of discerning the truth—whether they are not at variance with the tenour of every one of the numerous addresses I delivered during the last contest. Many of these addresses are in print, and I defy even the most prejudiced, if he will refer to them in extenso, and not to garbled extracts, to arrive at any other conclusion than the reverse of - the inferences which Sir Montague's slan derous insinuations are calculated to convey. "On my assumption of office I declared that it was the desire of the Government to reverse the system of financial and commercial policy which, in my opinion, had proved injurious to the interests of native industry and capital ; and I stated, in language too clear to be misunderstood, that, whatever might be the desire of the Government, the question would be settled by the constituencies of the United Kingdom, and that it would be in vain for Lord Derby or any Minister to oppose himself to the deliberate judgment of the people, consti tutionally expressed through their representatives in the House of Commons. I placed before you two courses, either of which the Government might consistently adopt— the one a Protectionist policy, involving the im position of customs duties, if a Protectionist Parliament were returned'; the other, a readjustment of taxation, if a Free-trade Parliament were elected. "The complexion of the Parliament rendered the for mer of these courses impossible. The Government have been compelled to adopt the latter, and have presented to the House of Commons a financial scheme which, although there is only a surplus revenue of 1,300,0001., will relieve the agricultural interest of a vexatious im post to the amount of 2,500,000/. So far from uplifting the banner of Protection at Wainfleet on the 13th of November last, I can appeal to all who were present whether such an assertion is not the reverse of the truth. " Sir Montague expresses his surprise that I still re tain office. I can without vanity affirm that my personal honour rests on a more solid foundation than the caprice of Sir Montague Cholmeley. I shall retain office as long as I can strengthen Lord Derby's Conservative Adminis tration. I am ready to relinquish it at a moment's notice for the same object; but, inasmuch as I value our monarchical institutions, I will not relinquish office to gratify the petty pique of Sir Montague Cholmeley or his Radical associates. "Gentlemen, I have the honour to be, " Your very faithful servant, " It. A. CHRISTOPHER. "London, Dec. 6." AN AFFECTING SCENE IN COURT. (From Tertian's Autobiography.) I have elsewhere given one of my yet regretted com rade, William Pollock's, amusing tales, and I will take leave not to dismiss this volume without (as well as I can) repeating another of a more affecting nature, and which to hear him tell would beguile even the careless and callous of their tears. In his clerkship he was tra velling to Winchester Assizes, and made acquaintance with two young men, officers in the army, who were going to surrender and take their trial on a charge aris ing out of a duel in which they had been secondl One of the principals was killed, and the survivor, Captain Sooper, was also to be tried. It was understood at that time (a year or two before 1817, when William 'died), that the attention of the judges had been called to the frequency of duelling, and the Government were deter mined to make an example, in order to put a stop to this prevailing evil. The seconds surrendered. Captain Sooper was already in custody. The grand jury threw out the bill against the seconds altogether, and did not put them on their trial even for manslaughter ; but they found a true bill against Sooper for murder. At the trial the case was fully proved, that is, that Sooper and his antagonist met in the field of honour, so called, and the result was the death of Sooper's opponent. Justice Dampier presided, and laid down the law with more than usual firmness and severity. Sooper listened to his charge with great interest and anxiety. Ho was a married man with a family of children. He had watched the earlier proceedings with some indifference. He knew the grand jury hid thrown out the bill against the seconds, and, in his own ease, he expected the common result, either a verdict of acquittal, or, at most, of manslaughter, followed by a short imprisonment. But the tone of the judge's summing up roused him from his dream. He fully understood the import of every word that fell from the bench, and he listened with increasing alarm. Some times there was even a slight movement in his face. as of a spasm ; but in all other respects he maintained his perfect composure. At length the jury were dismissed to consider their verdict, and were absent about half-an-hour, a delay which led to the hope of a favourable result. Their names were called aver, there was the deepest silence, every one in the court was interested, and the verdict was waited for with breathless expectation. It was pro nounced, " Guilty of Murder ! " and the moment Sooper heard it he fell down las if shot with a mortal wound, and, amid the profoundest silence of the audi ence, uttered one loud, long groan. It occupied several minutes to restore the prisoner , but, in a short time, he was sufficiently recovered to receive the sentence of the court, and was called upon in the usual form to say, ,‘ Why sentence of death should not be passed upon him according to law ? " He began by apologising for the interruption he had given to the business of the court, which he said he hoped would not be im puted to the fear of death, which he had faced un moved in the field of battle, and the more fatal climate of the West Indies. But, he had a wife and children, to whom he had trusted to bequeath his only fortune, the unstained character of a soldier and a man of honour ; but now ho was to die the death of a felon, and to leave to his children the infamy of a mur derer. STATE OF TRADE. ( Front the Maud - tester Guardian of yesterday ) MANCHESTER, Dec. 14.—The American advices re port a giving way during the last week of ic. to ifc. per lb. in the cotton market at New York and New Or leans; but the freight to Liverpool had risen to d. per lb.—counterbalancing the decline of price. The week's receipts were 116,085 bales against 67,110, and the total receipts exceeded those of last year by 273,120 bales. The estimates of the yield continued to run beyond 3,000,000 bales. Violent rains had occurred in some parts, whether or not in the cotton growing states re mains to be seen. That the accounts from England had not caused a greater fall in the American markets is a circumstance that has rather aided the tendency to pause in the course of decline, which was just beginning to show itself in the Liverpool market, where cotton is not to be had at the lowest point of last week within 1-16 d. to Ad. per lb. In our own market, the downward tendency appeared to be halting on Saturday ; and the impression above referred to, as having been produced by the transatlantic news, has contributed to a slight recovery of steadiness. Last week buyers could operate on terms which are either not practicable to-day. or not to the same extent. This is more particularly the case with some descriptions o warps. But, beyond this, there is no improvement ; and the business of the day, both in yarns and goods, has been altogether very inconsiderable. We have a tele graphic announcement that the Bombay market is ac tive, but the letters have not yet come to hand. We have some little businessdoing in India yarns and goods. ROCHDALE, Dec. 13.—There has been an extremely dull market to-day, and the demand for prices has been more limited than that of the previous Monday. The wool market is much the same as it has been for some weeks past, both in demand and price. MACCLESFIELD, Dec. 14.—There is no new feature to note since our last report ; the sales made of silk goods by our manufacturers during the last week are but few. Thrown Silks--The market is very bare of fine descrip tions of Bengal trams and organzines, which continue in request for shipment to the continent. There is also a little more doing in China throwns for the home trade. HUDDERSFIELD, Dec. 14.—We have no change of any importance to report in our market this week ; we have had an average one for the season. Job lots still con- He then adverted to the circumstance of the duel, which had come out in part during the trial, that his adversary was the aggressor, and had publicly offered him an insult which he dared not overlook; that he had been willing to accept any apology, but could get none ; that he had no alternative but to send a challenge or lose his commission ; that it was well known, he averred to every one acquainted with the army, that if he had not sent a challenge to vindicate his honour, and the honour of the service, the next post would have brought an intimation from the Horse Guards that the King had no further occasion for his services ; and he pointed out strongly the strange contrast between the practice of the army, not only authorised and encouraged, but ex pected and exacted by the highest powers, and the stern sentence of the law with reference to the same transac tion. He spoke of the deceased with affection and re gret, and declared that nothing but a sense of what he owed his profession would have led him to send the chal lenge ; and he bitterly lamented that a false idea of honour had precluded a friend, whom he esteemed, from yielding the apology which would have prevented the result he now deplored. This is but a faint outline of Captain Sooper's ad dress, and, ever so feelingly repeated, nothing equal in effect to the manner in which my dear informant de scribed it, as delivered with a firm voice, and in a manly style of speaking to an audience, which was moved be yond all example. Scarcely a dry eye was seen, and in many parts of the crowded court sobs proclaimed the deep sympathy excited. The judge was taken quite by surprise. He was an able and a good man, and full of the kindest feelings. He listened attentively, and was obviously much interested. Soon he stooped forward, and leaning on his elbow, resting his chin upon one hand clenched ; presently he added the other, clenching both hands, apparently to control his emotions. At length tears started from his eyes and rolled down his fine manly face. He raised his head, unclenched his hands, and covered his face, still leaning on his elbows, and thus awaited the end of Captain Sooper's appeal. At the conclusion, he omitted all comment on the offence, and made no remark of any sort, but simply said, "The sentence of the law is that you," &c. But, whilst the judge was moved, and his face covered with his hands, as I have stated, during Captain Sooper's address, when the prisoner, after alluding to the necessity of his posi tion and his sorrow, said, "And for this I am to be led to execution like the vilest felon and murderer," Dam pier, overpowered by the appeal, said to himself, but loud enough to be overheard by the High Sheriff, wh o sat close by, " I'll be lieve he had some difficulty in procuring a remission of the sentence ; but it was understood, at that time, that no capital punishment was ever inflicted against the opinion of the presiding judge. Dampier was firm, and Sooper was ultimately pardoned! tinue to be bought up at prices that are far from being remunerative. Some of the shipping houses are very busy with orders both for the American and Canadigi markets. The wool market is firm, but not much is being done in the staple article. HALIFAX, Dec. 14.—We have had very few mer chants in our piece hall to-day, and scarcely any goods, either plain or fancy, have changed hands, The y arn market has not und ergone any material alteration. The higher rates asked by the spinners check business ; and the advance which they are able to obtain is not suf ficient to cover the increased cost of the raw mate rial. There is not much activity in the wool market. The quotations gradually creep upwards ; and the high prices demanded by the staplers deter the spinners from purchasing, except to supply immediate wants, as they run out of stock. BIRMINGHAM, DEC. 13.—The trade of Birmingham is active. The hardware trade have more orders on their books than they can execute, and find themselves mate rially embarrassed in the scarcity of raw material, and the great advance in the prices. In addition to the rise which has taken place in iron and copper, the article of tin, which constitutes an essential ingredient in Birming ham manufactures, is rapidly increasing in price, the prices being upwards of 2/. per ton above those of last week, and a scarcity of the article in the market is re ported. FLOODS IN THE RIVERS TAY AND EARN. Owing to the heavy rains in the end of last week, and the strong westerly wind, which had the effect of driving the water out of Loch Tay, the river Tay rose to a very alarming height on Saturday, and threatened a repetition of the' damage caused by the great flood of October, 1847. On Saturday afternoon the water had risen so much that it was found necessary to remove the whole of the horses in the Royal George hotel stables, which were laid under several feet of water.. The flood also found its way supthroughewers ; an dthe several drains, of towwn.;3silng p a ad es , andrtc'f(th the such as the N or th P ort, The e wholetewn the sunk areas „in_ Rose-terrace and Prince's -street were laid under water• common of the lowe r part of the North Inelr w ig also inundated, and presented the appearance of a large lake. During Saturday night the wind and rain had both abated, and by Sunday morning the river had beg un sensibl y to abate, th us relieving the minds of many from apprehen sions of further damage being occasioned. The river Earn, which flows i n to the Tay a few miles below Perth, has also risen very high in consequence of the rain, and a large tract of the level grounds of Strathearn is stated to be completely coffered with water.7-Scotsntait. UPPER INDIA RAILWAY.—The directors of the Upper India Railway Company have determined to call for sub scriptions for three millions of additional capital, over and above the million already subscribed. The shares will be as before, namely, 201. each, and will conse quently number 150,000. Of this number 75,000 shares will be appropriated to the present scripholders, being at the rate of three new shares for every two now held ; 60,000 shares will be allotted in India ; and the remain der, and all such as may not be taken up here, will be distributed as the directors may think advisable.

Gre a t di s p a t c h h as b een used in getting the Pacific ready for sea, as she only arrived from Now York on Saturday morning. ( From the Morning Herald of yesterday.) Pelopidas freed his country, because his foe, - the Lace demonian, put a letter under the pillow for next morning's perusal. If patriotic politicians do not, at this emergency, without delay, hearken to a plain, sim ple, and energetic counsel, the day is already at hand 1 when the State must undergo strange alterations. Let not Pelopidas, in his turn, put the letter under his pillow. In all history, and, we might add, in all fable, there is hardly one picturesque occurrence, or one startling event, which does not seem to be a good and faithful type of some portion of the destinies of our more prosaic modern society. We have now reached a time of " last words." Old politics are obsolete, old parties are ex hausted; the momentum imparted by great minds of another day to the machine of Government, and the di rection impressed upon its movements, are at last spent. Happily, at this momentous conjuncture, the power of the state fell into the hands of men for whom it is not necessary to arrogate any unreal merits, or any factitious • claims to applause. Be it—(and let our concession put an end to idle and irrelevant wrangling at a moment so serious as the present,) —be it that " adversity " and political humiliation may have schooled that party which is now in power to address itself so pra h etically to jurisprudential and general re forms, and limy have stimulated it to enter upon a new • and extensive career of measures "wise, just, and bene ficial,"—for the commercial, the manufacturing, and the social advantage of the nation. If it be agreeable, let selfish objects be ascribed to a generous and noble,- to an active and prosperous policy ; and (according to a. venerable rule) let the worst motives be found for the' best acts. What we would submit is—that something more pressingly important than motives is at this mo ment under adjudication. What policy are we to have How is the business of the nation . to be transacted ? What reforms may we hope to gain, and, at the same time, what portion is to be retained of our stout old constitution, which has been the prolific parent of so many diversified and progressive ameliorations ? Such is the question to be answered now, and such the problem to be solved. For, to proceed methodically, here we have a Ministry who are Reformers, because they are Conservatives ; that is, z Ministry whose prin ciple it is that our institutions work well, and whose very existence is, therefore, committed to the proof that those institutions possess within themselves a recu perative and rejuvenescent power, capable of meeting - the emergencies.olt more epochs than revolutionists imagine. We have, in fact, a Ministry who, while they cannot help being Conservative, have done infinitely more for the cause of just- reforms, and have paid a far more earnest attention to the reasonable wishes of the con stituencies, than those who preceded them, and who enjoyed fuller opportunitie, greater means, and more stringent pledges; The meaning of all this is plain enough , the parties who threaten to convulse the state unless grievances be reformed, live and flourish by those very grievances . Those evils are a stock in trad e . Wh y do pulic meetings assemble ? Why are petitions signed ? Why is he who convenes the one and recommends the other the great man of a day ? Because there is some anomaly, deeply felt, of which he forms the capital of his influence, the spell of his power, and the material of his reputation.. Is he reallly anxious to abolish what constitutes his only source of importance ? In other words, is he anxious to annihilate himself ? This is no more in the nature of a professional Reformer than it would be in the nature of a sincere Conservative to leave one abuse unreformed or one grievance unredressed. He stakes his political exist ence upon the real inherent merits of our constitution, and engages to stand or fall by our system as it is in the main. Prove to him some real and perilous defect in that system, and it is, we do not say his profession, but his evident interest to apply a remedy. Self-pre servation and the very instinct of his proper advantage make the Conservative a willing and tractable Reformer; the very same motives impel the self-styled Reformer not to amend, but to cherish and to extend and to per petuate abuses. In proportion as they are removed his very occupation departs. When there is nothing to re form what becomes of the Reformer ? The less there is to incriminate, the less field is there for the demagogue. It is the difference between two men, one of whom wishes to preserve the house in which both live, and the other to build a new dwelling. The former repairs—the lat ter encourages every deficiency; for the former is the friend of the edifice, and the latter of its decay. And have we not plainly beheld this truth illustrated by the conduct of the Whigs when they had the power to effect reforms, and when they merely talked and declaimed.. Abuses are their staple; grievances are their capital. At this moment, however, something more serious is to be considered than the risk of letting back make-be lieve Liberali into power, and of ousting those Conser vatives, from whom the people can always obtain every just enactment, and by whom even within so brief a tenure of office so many inestimable measures have been passed already. Here is the case :---Let faction precipi tately and wantonly subvert the present Government, because it has introduced the most liberal budget that scientific economists evet'yet obtained in England, and three results are inevitable and obvious. First, there will be a dissolution of Parliament ; secondly, there will be a: new reform bill ; and, thirdly, there will be, as a matter of course; another dissolution of Parliament to fulfil the purposes of that very reform act itself. It is easy to show that all the real advantages of these events can be gained without their actual evils. •, and not less easy to prove that those evils must ensue if, at this criti cal juncture, faction be permitted to overthrow an active and public-spirited Administration.

TlMES.—After a deb 4 thren mights, the House of G`ommons Naas bethouglit itself of inquir ing seriously what is the precise issue upon which, when the torrent of eloquence is fairly exhausted, it is to divide. The formula of words in which . - that question is contained is even yet hardly de cided upon, for before the rising of the House of Commons on Tuesday night, Lord John Russell expressly reserved to himself the power of deciding whether it should be upon the first, or upon the second, or the third paragraphs of Mr. Dis raeli's motion, that the _division should be taken. Having carefully considered this subjeci, and ar rived at a conclusion which appears' to us satisfac tory, we think we should be doing good service to gentlemen of all parties in the House of Commons by pointing out to them as clearly as we can what is the issue they have to decide, and by which reso lution it will be most properly raised. We are only too happy to discharge the office of a judicious " bottleholder" on this occasion, and thus proba bly add an hour or two to the night's rest of weary senators, which is otherwise only too likely to be spent in the efforts of rival parties to overreach each other by verbal subtleties. The following is an abridgement of the first proposition :—" That after the sth day of April, the duties on houses in Great Britain, made payable by the 14th and 15th of Victoria, chap. 36, according to their annual value, shall cease, and, in lieu thereof, there shall be made payable on such houses the following duties." The second imposes a duty of one shilling on a certain class of houses worth ten pounds or upwards ; and the third a duty of eighteenpence on another class. Now, on which of these resolutions ought the division to be taken ? There is a difficulty in the construction of the first, arising from the use of .e words " such houses," which might seem, on a strict and technical construction, to imply that the houses spoken of were only those men tioned in the act of Parliament, and consequently that the first resolution only pledged the house to the increase of the duty, and not to the ex tension of the area of the tax. Mere verbal criti- cism might suggest this ; but in no case would mere verbal criticism be more misapplied. We cannot comprehend the sophistry Or those who would represent a distinct resolution on a specific question as a mere abstract declaration of approval of the principles of the budget, of confidence in the Ministry, or of anything else but that which it really declares. Taking this resolution in connec tion with what follows, we think that its fair con _ _ . struction was given to it last night by Mr. Disraeli, and that it affirms two things,—first, that the house is willing to increase the taxation on in habited houses and secondly, that it is willing to extend the area of that taxation from houses rented at twenty pounds to houses rented at ten. We cannot conceive that those who, like the Opposition, are opposed to both these pro positions, can creditably or consistently pass them by in order to take a nal rower issue on their detailed application. The first reso- lution affirms two - principles, and those prin ciples, if disputed, ought not to he conceded—if conceded, ought to be carried out. We therefore think that the division ought to be taken on the first resolution ;—that it fairly raises the issue be tween the parties, and that by it the question of the Ministerial policy on the house tax, and therefore on the budget, will be properly decided. Those who are against both propositions, the increase of the house tax and the extension of its area, will of course vote against the resolution. Those who aro in favour of both propositions will of course vote for it ; those who are in favour of one and against the other have the choice between approving something they dislike or rejecting something they approve— a misfortune which unavoidably results from coup ling together two independent propositions in the same resolution—and will vote for or against the two, according as they attribute more or less weight to the one proposition or to the other. Having done what we can to clear up this vexed question, we may remark that upon the decision ar rived at on this resolution really depends the fate of the budget in its present form. The poverty of ways and means is such as to admit of no further reduc tion. The Kafir war has woke up again, as if for no other purpose than to devour two hundred and fifty thousand pounds of Mr. Disraeli's surplus. The an ticipated loss from refining sugar in bond has not been explained, and it seems therefore very proba ble that the West India interest will swallow two hundred thousand pounds more. No answer has been given, though three Cabinet Ministers have spoken, to the forcible objections against the appropriation to the annual service of the principal or the profits of the Exchequer loan, nor to Mr. Goulburn°s es timate of a larger deficit on the malt tax. Under these circumstances, Mr. Disraeli will require both the double amount and the extended area of the house duty, and should rather be thinking of find ing fresh ways and means than throwing out hints of diminishing those he has proposed. We ought, however, to state these dimeulties with diffidence, because the debate has been hitherto really all on one side. Sir John Paking,on has proteSted against, denied, disowned, disclaimed, denounced, and condemned every argument brought forward by the Opposition ; but has answered none. He has protested too much, and reasoned too little. Mr. Walpole has snapped up various admissions which nobody contests, laid down several principles which nobody admits, and quoted many statistics which nobody cares about. The only part of his speech, however, which drew much attention from the house was an exaggerated and fulsome eulogium of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, which he had the singular infelicity to conclude by quoting as the greatest happiness of Mr. Disraeli, and the highest aim of human life, those very pursuits which Lucretius alluded to as constituting the folly and misery of our mortal career. Mr. Wal pole favoured us with a translation of this un happy quotation—genius contending with rank ; but if contendere nobilitate was meant as a playful allusion to Mr. Disraeli's contentions with the nobility within the Cabinet and the landed aristocracy without it, Mr. Walpole should not have spoilt the appositeness of hi s quotation by coupling it with certare ingenio. With the nobil ity, undoubtedly, Mr. Disraeli has often contended, and never more, w e suspect, than M that series of Cabinet Councils which led to the proposed repeal of one-half of the malt tax; but with genius, with wit, with talent, he had not to contend. He has had to contend with the nobility, with dogged pre judice, impervious ignorance, and oracular stolidity; but not with genius, only with rank. It is his misfortune to associate with men whom he cannot even trust to praise him, and therefore till his re ply comes we shall not know what is to be said in favour of the financial scheme, or what answers can be given to the harsh and dogmatical criticisms of Sir Charles Wood, the experience and authority of Mr. Goulburn, or the masterly argumentation of Sir James Graham, seeking to protect agriculture from its friends. But the worst of it is, that al though the speaking power of the Government is quite exhausted, the Opposition has still several formidable champions in reserve,. If Parliamentary discussion be a good thing, we ought to be provided with a Government containing at least two men of talent ; for Hercules himself must yield to odds; and it is rather hard to expect a single champion to keep at bay the united leaders of two politi cal parties, carrying into the contest twice the abil ity and experience that is necessary to constitute an ordinary Government. Surely the originators of this policy ought to defend it, and not, after hav ing involved their only leader and supporter in in- extricable difficulties, to leave him to contend alone with the perils and obstacles they have created. The rash and foolish leader who forced his colleague into. the battle of Canine saved hiwself from destruction, and left his colleague to expiate the consequence of his own errors. HERALD.—The vote which will.be taken this evening, and which may probably be supposed to decide the fate of the budget as a whole, will be taken under circumstances which have likely never occurred before. A great coalition of Whigs, Peel ites, Cobdenites, Scotch Radicals, and the Irish Brigade is to be brought to bear upon the l'ilinistry, in order, if possible, to reject the budget, and de feat the Government. And yet there Ls scarcely a single leader of that coalition who has not explicitly declared his entire approval of some points in that same financial plan. In face, the best eulogium we could frame for the budget and its author would be composed of those separate opinions of Whigs, Radicals, and Peelites, which have been expressed in the debate which is now concluding. Eight or nine of these testimonies we will now quote, pre mising that the speakers are all opposed to the pre sent Government. Sir Charles Wood said, " I approve of the right hon. gentleman's proposition with regard to the tea duty. I think he is right in dealing with the tea duty, and in the mode in which he proposes t o deal with it." " I have never swerved from my opinion that the house tax is a good tax." "I do not object to the extension of the house tax?? Mr. Cobden said, " With respect to the modifi cations of the income tax, I think that this part of the budget reflects great credit on the Chancellor of the Exchequer. . I give the _Government full credit for this alteration." Mr. Osborne said, " He was willing to give credit to the Chancellor of the Exchequer for two main points in his budget. He felt that he was entitled to credit, in the first place, for the relief he had afforded to the shipping interest. He likewise thought that the right hon. gentleman had taken a sagacious and statesmanlike view with regard to the tea duties." Mr. Hume said, " The right hon. gentleman deserved the thanks of the country for the man ner in which he had dealt with the grievances affecting the shipping interest." "He thought it a bold stop for a Chancellor of the Exchequer to take, to establish a distinction between fixed and precarious incomes." " But he was con fident that the right hon. gentleman met the corn - - mon sense of the whole community ; and that this distinction must obtain and become established." Sir James Graham said, " I think the arrange ment with reference to the shipping interest is an arrangement perfectly justified, and it meets my entire approbation." Mr. Monckton Milnes said, " The question of the tea duty rested on an entirely different prin ciple. He considered the remission proposed most reasonable and prudent, and was prepared to give it his support. He believed that in recognis ing the distinction between fixed incomes and in comes derived from trades and professions, the Go vernment had not only accepted what the common sense of the country declared to be the truth, but that they had acted according to a very reasonable and feasible system of taxation." Mr. H. H. Vivian said that "he thought that many important benefits would be gained by the propositions of the right hon. gentleman, and that he had made some steps in the right direction." Mr. Alcock (East Surrey) said that " the country owed a debt of gratitude to the Chancellor of the Exchequer for having been bold and honest enough to propose a diminution of the malt tax." Mr. W. Williams (Lambeth) said, "He must express his thanks to the right hon. gentleman for declaring his intention of causing all moneys to be paid into the Exchequer, and also to introduce an improved administration of the public offices • and he hoped that the right hon. gentleman would re main m office long enough to carry out those objects." We might largely increase this list of testimonies were we to turn over former debates, and were we to cite also the praises of the Whig and Free-trade press. And what can present a stranger spectacle than to see 250 or 260 gentlemen, of the most op posite views on all conceivable questions, banded together to defeat as a whole a financial scheme, every part of which 'has been lauded by some of their own body ! The plain truth is, that the ag gregate vote of these gentlemen, intended, if pos sible, to overthrow the Government, is pre-emi nently a factious vote. Had the plan of Mr. Disraeli combined every excellence that statesmen and financiers ever imagined the result would pro bably be the same—parts would be praised, the whole would be, if possible, rejected. Men who can act in this manner should be dealt with in a way which is level to their feelings and under standings. The probable consequences of the course they are taking, if successful, should be ex plained to them. For, in truth, there are those among them who, if they perceived the political extinction to which they are hastening, would yet pause and draw back. We take for granted that as the real nature of the vote to which the House of Commons will come is still unknown—the Cabinet cannot have deliberated upon it—cannot have adopted any resolution. Still, Lord Derby's most recent language in the House of Lords plainly alluded to a defeat as a possible event ; and to a retirement of the Ministry from power, as a conse quence of such defeat. Now, the class of persons who must feel the deepest interest in this matter are, not the noble earl and his colleagues, nor the Whig or Radical leaders. All these have only something at stake. But there are about 100 members of the House of Commons who have everything to lose. The persons of whom we speak are those who have with great pains and trouble gained a seat in that house, but whose re-appear ance there after another election is a matter of great uncertainty. The reason why these are the persons most interested in the issue of the present contest is so plain as scarcely to need explanation. The first but most inevitable result of a change of Govern ment would be another dissolution. If the present Ministry cannot get on with the recently-elected House of Commons, still less hope is there that any other Ministry can transact the public business in that assembly. The present Government can reckon more than three hundred supporters in that house ; but no other party could find so many as two hundred, unless by a coalition, sacrificing prin ciples on both sides, and certain of a speedy disrup tion. The only chance, therefore, of any new Mi nistry would be to dissolve as soon as possible, and to strive very earnestly to gain, if possible, some 40 or 50 votes by the new election. Now this prospect should be gently, but faithfully, suggested to the House of Commons itself. Such a renewal of the ) strifes of August last, would be hurtful to the country itself. But, to at least 100 of the present members, it would be political annihilation. HEALTH OF LONDON DURING THE WEEK.—The official 1 report says : In last week's report it was shown that the mortality rose to 1,042 ; from the returns for the week that ended last Saturday it appears that the deaths remained at nearly the same amount, having been 1,012. In the ten corresponding weeks of the years 1842-51 the average number was 1,210, which, if raised in propor tion to the increase of population, gives a mortality for the present time of 1,331. Compared with this estimated amount, the deaths actually registered last week exhibit a satisfactory. reduction ; but it will be borne in mind that the average of the ten years is increased by in fluenza, which in the corresponding week of 1847 was fatal to 2,416 persons. In the last four weeks the total number of deaths returned have undergone considerable variation, these having been 922, 947, 1,042, and 1,012; but under the two principal heads, namely " zymotic diseases" and "diseases of the respiratory organs," the rate of mortality has been remarkably uniform ; zymotic ; of epidemic diseases in the aggregate produced in the seve ral weeks 184,207, 210, and 212 deaths, while those of the organs of respiration (exclusive of phthisis) caused 167,172, 171, and 171 fatal cases. During the same periods hooping-cough alone of the diseases in the for mer class shows a steady disposition to increase, though it has not yet become fatal to any considerable extent ; the numbers referred to it were 17, 20, 24, 34. In the same times scarlatina was fatal to 59, 72, 59, and 62 persons ; typhus to 50, 37, 47, and 55. The mortality from small pox continues low, and last week it was fatal in only two cases. Five persons died last week of in fluenza. Last week the births of 810 boys and 769 girls, in all 1,57 9 child ren were re g istered in London. In the seven corresponding weeks of the years 1845-51 the average number was 1,371. At the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, the mean height of the barometer in the week was 29.520 in. The mean temperature of the week was 49.3 degs., which is 7.2 de g s . above the average of the same week in ten years, wih also 7 degrees higher than the temperature of the previous week. The mean daily temperature was above the average on every day of the week, and this excess on Sunday, Friday, and-, I Saturday amounted to 10 and 11 degrees. The wind blew daily from the south-west. " MURDER WILL OUT."—Threw men have been arrested by the police on suspicion of being concerned in the murder near Mullinahone. The poor victim, in his struggles with his merciless assailants, tore a piece of cloth out of the coat of one of the party, and retained it in his grasp when the body was discovered. This piece of evi dence was taken b the police as a guide in their search, and finally led to the arrest of the three prisoners. £3BO 4 $ Future subscriptions will be announced in The Times and other papers.

M.D. 37, BEDFORD-SQUARE, LONDON, D:ctor of Medicine, Matriculated Member of the University of Edin burgh, Honorary Member of the London Hospital Medical Society, Licentiate of Apothecaries' Hall, London. &c., &c. The essential object of thislreatise is to point out the fearful consequences resulting from irregularities and excesses, which have produced more misery in Youth, degradation in Man hood, and premature decay at all stages of life, than, perhaps, any other class of disease known to modern pathologists. The treatment adopted is founded on experience gained in the most celebrated schools of medicine both in this country and in continental Europe. The results of the knowledge thus acquired are here condensed under the personal supervision of Dr. La'Mert, himself one of the few legally qualified physicians who have devoted their whole and un divided studies to this important branch of medical science. In short, every peculiarity relating to the treatment of the diseases incidental to the generative system, and the means of immediate relief and ultimate cure are described in detail. The professional reputation of Dr. La'Mert, who has taken the most distinguished medical and academic honours at home and abroad, is in itself a sufficient guarantee that those who may place themselves under his care will, in every instance, meet with that delicate consideration and Inviolable secrecy which are so requisite in the treatment of these cues.
