Published by the Authors, and sold by &Mere, Medical Bookseller to the Royal College of Surgeons, 219, Regent street; Strange, 21, Paternoster-row, London; Guest, Bir mingham ; Sowler, 4, St. Ann's-square, Manchester ; Philip, South Castle-street, Liverpool ; Machen and Co., 8, D'Olier street, Dublin; Duncan,ll4, H i gh-street, Edinburgh; and to be had of all Booksellers. This Work, a Seventh Edition of which is now presented to the public, ten thousand copies have been exhausted since its first appearance, has been very much improved and enlarged by the addition of a more extended and clear detail of general principles, as also by the insertion of several new and highly in teresting cases. The book, as has been already stated, is the result of very ample and daily increasing experience in a class of diseases, which, for some unaccountable reason, have been either altogether overlooked, or treated almost with indiffer- ence, by the ordinary medical practitioner. The proverbial and well known rapacity of unqualified practitioners, who traffic on the health and credulity of patients, has been en couraged and aroused by this supineness, on the part of the regular surgeon. In order to obviate the pernicious effects sure to result from the practices of such pretenders, the authors have fur a considerable time devoted themselves ex clusively to a certain class of diseases; of the necessity of so doing, they were further c onv i nce d b y f ee li ng th at tact in in vestigating the latent sources of many diseases, which arise from certain secret practices, can only be acquired by an ex clusive and undivided attention to this department of medical practice. The numberless instances daily occurring, whersin affections of the lungs, putting on all the outer appearances of consumption, which, however, when traced to their source, are found to result from certain baneful practices, fully proves that the principle of the division of labour, is nowhere more applicable than in medical practice. We feel no hesitation in saying that there is no member of society by whom the book will not be found useful, whether such person hold the relation of a Parent, a Preceptor, or a Clergyman. The PARENT, who beholds his beloved child pining away, and fast approaching to a premature grave, in conse quence of some disease, which, for want of careful investiga tion of its real cause, has been set down to the score of con sumption, will, on perusing this work, be astonished to find, that in nine-tenths of the cases of young persons of both sexes, who perish of what is called pulmonary consumption, heart disease, tabes, &c., the sole and exclusive origin has been the indulgence in certain destructive habits practised by youth much more frequently than it is at all suspected. . The PRECEPTOR, also, who holds (temporarily at least), the relation and responsibility of a parent, will, by perusing this work, be directeL and very much assisted in investigating and detecting the too often con cealed practices so often introduced into schools, whereby the health and ultimately the lives of his pupils are sure to be com promised, unless the evil be arrested in proper time. He will here find a clue to guide him through the intricate mazes of this moral labyrinth, and a standard whereby to judge, when delicacy of health should appear to attack any of his young charges, what the real causes of such attack may be, and thus he will be enabled to check the evil in its incipient state. The CLERGYMAN, in whose sacred character is at once concentrated the two-fold relation of parent and instructor, will here be directed as to the nature of those habits to which youth is addicted; he will also be enabled to point out the d s estrous consequences which are sure to follow from them if not relinquished. Messrs. CURTIS and CO. are to be consulted daily at their residence, No. 7, Frith-street, Soho-square, London. Country Patients are requested to be as minute as possible in the detail of their cases—as to the duration of the complaint, the symptoms, age, general habits of living, and occupation in life of the party ; the communication must be accompanied by the usual Consultation Fee of 1/., without which no notice whatever can be taken of their application ; and in all gases, the most inviolable secrecy may be relied on. 7 TRAFALGAR ROYAL ACADEMY SQUARE LAST WEEK.

I yesterday commenced, and have this day completed my inspection, and I have :to inform you that I see no objection to this line belt g opened to the public, on Monday next, subject to the conditions contained in this Report. In .the first place I am Cles3rous of observing that with very few exceptions the s works are in a very complete, sound, and satisfactory of ate, and I have, on scarcely any . previous occasion of inspecting a line before its opening for the public tratfiv, found them in so perfect a condition. . The London terminus for this railway is at resent the same as that for the Cr oydon Comp any , at 'rooley street, and is situated on th e north side of the Green wich Company's western ten .ninus. But, pursuant to an Act of last Session, a static): n-house is to be built on the south side of the existing re! iway, and two lines of rails laid on a viaduct which is :to be formed from the in tended•station-house, to the point of junction between the Greenwich and Croydon.:aailways. The Brighton trains will take in passengers, for the present, on the same plat form as that used for the Croydon passengers, and the trains will run on the down line of the Greenwich Ragway as far as the junction with the Croydon Railway - , and then along the latter line as far as the junction 'with the Brighton Railway, beingg—a distance of about 94 miles. At t h e former junction a servant of the Gr aenVvich Company is placed in charge of the "points," and signals, and at this junction a servant of the Croy don Company is em ployed. The guage of the three Companies is th e same—v i z., 4 feet 8 inches, so that the engines of all of them might run upon either line. The first or northern station of the Brighton Railway is at Croydon. It stands in a most convenient situation, a little to the east of the town, and about one mile south of the point of junction with the Croydon Railway. At this station are the carriage-sheds, engine-houses, stores, warehouses, and other buildings which are usually placed at the termini of great lines, and it appeared to me that this is the most suitable position for them, and that the general arrange:meat of the several buildings is well calculated to promote :the public safety and conve nience, and the despatch of businesr. Not only here, but at almost all the stations on this line the engineer has laid down _four sets of rails, and built booking - offices, both for the up and the down trains, so that the engines and carriages will .not stop upon the main lines, nor the passengers have to c.ross the rails either in join - ing or leaving the carriages. An arrang e ment which will tend muc h to the safety of th e trave l ler, and highly creditabl e t o the Company. The stations are as follows : The Godston a with the C ro yd on R a il way. ( 7 ) Stoats -nest Merstham Red-hill and Reigate .........12 Horley .164 Three Brid ges . .20 Balcombe .244 Hayward's Heath At all these stations there will, I conceive, when they are entirely finished, which is not yet the case, be every thing that can be required for the safety, convenience, and comfort of the passenger that the na t ure an d probable extent of the traffic can d emand. Throughout the whole, length of line now under con sideration, with almost the single exception of a small portion near the north en trance of Merstham tunnel, I found the cuttings cleared out, and the slopes satisfac torily trimmed. The embankments are generally sufficiently consoli dated, and I have no doubt - that with proper care, in the very few instances where this is not the case, the traffic may be carried on with perrect safety. I observed with much satisfaction that nearly the - whole of the embankments are made considerably wider . than the ordinary dimension. There are two tunnels on tice portion of railway about to be opened, viz. the Merstham and the Balcombe tun nels. The former is 1,780 yard sin length, and is one of the dryest that I have met with. The centre half is lighted with gas, and it is intended to light the whole in the same manner, a gasometer having been erected for this purpose, and the same hrs been dono for the Bal combo tunnel. This latter is only 1,122 yards in length. The wet has in some few place is penetrated through the arch, but the passengers will not in consequence be sub jected to any inconvenience, as. these parts of the brick work have been lined with lead,hehind which the leakage is carried off into vertical pipes that communicate with an ample culvert, formed not only under this tunnel, but also under the Merstham tunneL The bridges have been generally constructed so as to afford even greater accommodation and convenience to the public than is provided for in the Acts of Parlia ment, and they appear of sufficient strength for their re spective purposes. There are three of which the parapet and coping are unfinished. On this part of the line is that magnificent structure, the Ouse Viaduct. It is of brie k, and consists of 37 semicircular arches, each of 30 feet span ; the extreme height of the centre arch is 96 feet. The whole length of this viaduct is . 480 yards, and the width between the parapets 28 feet. The brickwork is completed, arid almost all the centres are struck, but the parapet, which is to be very hand some, and of stone from Caen in Normandy, is yet in a very backward state, and cannot • be finished for some weeks. In order, however, to aeanit of the masons pro ceeding with their work, without interruption to the traffic of the railway, Mr. Rastrick has established a moveable scaffolding, which traverses along the Viaduct on an independent set of relit., and by this means he may avoid having any of the w or k men or t h e i r mater i als within the line of the parapet walls. The permanent way is only laid at present on the West, or " up," line, on this vit,duct ; but with two other exceptions only, and these ()lily for a few yards in length, it is complete for both lines. Where these breaks occur crossings are put, and Mr. Rastrick has undertaken that the traffic shall be so arranged that two trains cannot meet on the single portion of the line. The rails weigh 751bs. in the lineal yard, and are on the embankments laid on cross Kyanized wooden sleepers, and in the cuttings generally on stone blocks. The bearings are, in the middle, 4 feet, and at the ends 3 feet 6 inches ; therefore, there are four to each 15-foot rail ; excepting in the tunnels, where five bearers are used, and where the intervals are narrowed to 2 feet 6 inches at the ends, and 3 feet 4 inches in the other spaces. The weight of each joint-chair is 261b5., and of the in termediate chair 22ilbs. The fences are of a substantial description, and are complete from end to end of the line on both sides, with proper field gates, and the mile-posts have been put up ; but the signal and lamp-posts are only, as yet, fixed at the Croydon Station. The whole, however, are ready to be put up, and as this may be done in a few hours, the deficiency need not delay the opening of the line. The code of signals is to be the same as on the Great Western Railway. and the Superintendant of the Brigh ton Railway having been an officer in the employ of the former line, he is presumed to be acquainted with the system which prevails there. There an mr crossings of parish roads on the level, and gates have been placed across these roads, and watch-boxes provided for the policemen who are to be stationed at these points. • The Earlswood embankment having originally been formed of clay, and in a wet season, has had some slips, but a better material having been thrown in, the work seems now tolerably firm. However, in running over this and some of the other lofty embankments, the enginemen must use increased caution until all appear ance shall have ceased of an extensive subsidence. I must here remark, that for the . present the Directors have very properly decided on limiting the average speed to 20 miles an hour, inclusive of stoppages. In order to save time, and as the best means of giving the Directors of the Brighton Railway Company a know ledge of my opinion of the state of their works, I shall , forward a co py o f thi s l e tt e r to th e Ch a i rman of the nas well as to the spot, t h e Company, wh o i s now res idi ng here, an d w h o I am aware will tak e an ac ti ve par t i n prov idi ng f or t h e public safety, at and for some ti me a f ter t h e o pe ning o f t h e line and I Mr. wi will u pe as rs t o r n ic a l lly 7the engineer, explaintoTvhato is ge alsontlema on necessity of the greatest vigilance being used by the Superintendent and other officers, as well as the servants , consequently the safety these o ccur where ntly of the Comp an y, t o p rev e n t acc id en t s at the few un finished parts of th e li ne . The . points of j unc ti on w ith the C r oyd on and Green wich lines are a l so ma tt ers o f some anx i ety, for, unlike the ordinary thererdhiary ar j e u i ci o junction of f cs ot a l n ie d r cora of the traveller depends mainly on the switchman at each place. At the Greenwich junction the management of the signals and switches.is confided to a servant of the Green wich Company, and at the Croydon junction to a police man of the Brighton Company. • It is to be borne in mind that until the new station at London-bridge is formed, and the additional lines of rails laid, the engines of the three Companies will work on the sane-rails from the Greenwich junction. Great vigi lance will therefore be required at this jun c ti on, and it is desirable to impress upon the Directoaa Company LIFE ASSURANCE.

FERGUSOtT CAMROUX, Sec. WESTMINSTER ELECTION. It will be seen from the following table that in five parishes, viz. St. Anne's, the Outward of St. George's, St. John's, St. Margar e t' s , an d S t. Paul ' s, Evans, in 1837. polled 1,531, and in 1841, 1,542 ; and Leader, in 1837, polled 1,579, and in 1841, I,6o6—that is. Evans polled eleven more at the last election, and Leader twenty-six more, than at the previous one. The election, therefore, was lost in St. George's Inward.

The loss of the election must not be attributed to the growing strength of the Tories, for in every parish, with the exception of St. John's and St. Margaret's, where the increase was only thirty-seven in their favour, it will be seen they polled fewer at the late election than were polled for Burdett in 1837. Murray's contest must not be the criterion of the strength or weakness of the Conservatives, but Burdett's, when they were as well prepared and as active as at the last election, and when, contrary to the common opinion at the time, not more than about 50 Liberals voted for Burdett. EXTENSION OF THE SUFFRAGE. Thousands who complain of being politically de graded in not possessing the elective franchise, are not aware, or being aware, neglect to avail themselves of the means already within their power, for their own enfran chisement. We beg leave to call the attention of such persons, and all others desirous of obtaining the elective franchise, to the following : Every person who is in the occupation of any house, warehouse, counting-house, shop, workshop, stable, shed, or other building, worth 101. per year, is entitled to be on the register of voters for the city or borough in which it is situated, if he has been in occupation of sudh premises from the 31st of July last (1840), or in several such premises in succession in the said city or borough. It is necessary that it should be clearly understood what the Revising Barristers hold to be " houses, ware- I houses, counting-houses, shop s , an d ot h er b u i ldings, " which are as follows— Houses.—" A house is a separate dwelling, ap proached by a door from the open air." Any person, therefore, occupying .apartments, and having control over t h e outer door, is held to be a householder, although he may allow o th ers t h e use of such door. As some misunderstanding has existed on this subject, it should therefore be particularly observed that the possession of a separate door is only necessary for those who claim for a house, and not necessary for the occupiers of warehouses, counting-houses, shops, &c. Warehouse.—" A warehouse is a store-room for mer chandise or goods used in trade." ' Counting -house. —" A counting-house is a room in which a person in trade keeps his books and accounts, whether it be a separate building, or only a room in a house used for that purpose.", Shop.—" A shop is a place for the sale of goods, or a room in which manufactures are carried on," as a work shop, which may be either a detached place, or a room in a house used as such ; so that a tailor, shoemaker, &c., holding an apartment, or apartments, and working in one room worth 4s. per week, is entitled to be on the Register. • Other Buildings.—May be a stable, shed, storehouse, stall, separate building used as an office or school, hot house, cowhouse, &c. Any person, therefore, occupying any such premises as above described, worth 4s. per week, and not rated for them, should immediately claim to be rated as the Re form Act requires ; all persons either to be rated or to have claimed to be rated. ,),9 am/ d. , SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY. • CHRONICLE.—The " time to cry out" against taxation upon the public for the thirteen new colonial bishoprics which are projected, will come, says the Times, " when the call is mad..." A previous warning may not, however, be thrown sway. It is not much too soon, for those whom it is intended to tax, to look about them, when the taxers (in purpose) begin to broach their speculation. The subscribers to this scheme for accomplishing a factious object under spiritual pretences, aught also to be considered. Many who have contributed, or who may he solicited to contribute, are doubtless under the in fluence of purely religious motives. They wish, and very laud- . ably, to extend the influence of their own faith and worship. But they may not wish to render that extension subservient to the creation of a body of Tory Church patronage, to be exer. raised independently of the legal and constitutional head of the Church. The project, moreover, is worth notice, were it only to illustrate the principles, in Church and State, which have regained the semblance of their old and pestiferous ascendancy over the rights and interests of the people. The claim of her Majesty, the head of the Church of England, acting by her constitutional advisers, to nominate any of the proposed thirteen colonial Bishops, " must," says the Times, " necessarily be fatal to the whole design." We thought as much from the first announcement. This fact is quite sufficient to settle the spi rituality of the speculation. The desire is not far religious Bishops, appointed by the same authority that suffices far the Established Church at home, but for nominees of an episcopal corporation, in which a political faction is pretty sure to predo minate. The souls of the colonists, it seems, may go to perdi tion, if they can only be supplied with Bishops in the old, legal constitutional mode ; a mode never yet contested since the Church of England was the Church of England. The scheme does not turn upon the wants of the colonists, nor upon the dic tates of piety, but exclusively upon the possession of the patronage. To be without that, although the preten sion to it be an unprecedented invasion of both the Church and State of England, " must necessarily be fatal to the whole design." In support of this pretension, it is affirmed that " in all ages of the Church it has been a settled maxim that the patronage follows the endowment." However settled the maxim may be, the limitations are very material, and are quite as settled. There are many cases in which the endowing I parties have a permanent right of presentation ; but none in which they have an absolute right of appointment; none in which they nominate, not merely to the incumbency of a liv ing, but to spiritual functions of a dignified order: none in which there is anything analogoul to the creation of bishoprics and bishops. In these latter cases there is no exception to the practical supremacy of the Sovereign over the Church, exer cised through the great officers of State. To refuse these ap pointments would, we are told, " abridge the spiritual liberty of Churchmen," and be " a preposterous tyranny." No such " liberty" having ever existed, we cannot see how it can be " &bridged." All alliances abridge the liberty of acting as if ' :here were no compact; nor is the alliance of Church and State any exception. If the Church needs the liberty of making ' Bishops otherwise than by the head of the State, who is its own head, it must forego the advantages of being an Esta blishment--it must cease to be the Church of the 'State. To combine the emoluments of alliance with the freedom of inde pendence would be monstrous. Those who think the lat ter worth the price, pay far it by this disadvantages of dis sent. Those who do not, let it alone, and stick to the bene fits of Establishment. There is no other alternative; nor can there be, consistently with common justice. "Is the Morning `Chronicle prepared to contend that the Crown has a right to name the Bishops of the Anglo-Catholic Church in Scotland, or of the Roman Catholic Church in Ireland ?" We answer, no; nor of any other Catholic Church whatever. We assert its right as to the Church of England—the Church which it made, the Church which it pays, the Church of which it is the solemnly recognised head. Neither of the Churches re ferred Lois in any such predicament. Both of them are dis senting bodies. The Church of England is neither dissenting nor Catholic; it is an institution of the State, • localised within certain boundaries. No possible amount of truly religious zeal and liberality in the Church of England can call forth any ob jective feeling. But when the design is avowed of turning those qualities to account in a mode which would render the Church a tool of a political faction, and erect a power capable of commanding the Government of the country, and of enthrall ing both Sovereign and people, it is time to protest. The an nouncement is probably only experimental ; Toryism is putting out its feelers in various directions, to ascertain how much the people will bear without that military coercion to which (should its new ly-gained power continue) it must come at last ; and therefore it is but fair to our opponents that we should at once say that, in our opinion, thirteen new bishoprics, inde pendent of the Crown and Legislature, will be something of a choker. meter for strict obedience of orders, steadiness, prompt. ness, and presence of mind, since at this junction, owing to the frequent *sing of the Greenwich trains, and to the Croydon and Brighton trains having to cross both the up and down lines, it will be chiefly on this servant that the safety of the passenger will depend. My present duty, however, is with the Brighton line. and it behoves the managers of the railway to make thou' engine drivers and conductors fully sensible of the neces sity of the strictest obedience of all signals, and of their approaching the two junctions at such a moderate rate o speed as to admit of their having the trains completell under command. I have here to observe that I was surprised to find that the switchman at the Greenwich junction is instructed tt i exhibit as a svmbol that the points are right for thi Croydon and Brighton trains, a red flag, which is ordi narily the signal of danger. Some attention on this heaci is indispensable to prevent confusion and risk to the . pas• senp.;ers. The engines about to be used on the Brighton Railway are both four and six -wheeled. The carriages are well built, handsome, and convenient. There are buffer springs to the whole of them, in cluding the horse boxes, and carriage trucks, and breaks to all the second class carriages. These breaks are gene rally of an improved construction invented by Mr. Ras trick. The second class carriages and horse-boxes hare col pees, the latter being intended for the grooms, which w be fouhd a great convenience. I have the honour to be, Sir, Your most obedient servant, FREDERIC SMITH, Lieut. Col. R. E., Inspector General of Railway Brighton, July 10, .1841. --- THE QUARANTINE SYSTEM. FORT MANOEL, MALTA, JULY. 6.—Here lam in pri son for the benefit of the general health of Europe, hav ing had the misfortune to come hither from Egypt, where, if I did not catch the plague, I ought to have caught it—and, in fact, may have it now (as the Maltese tell me), for aught I can know to the contrary ! Dr. Grassi, the chief plague doctor of Mehemet Ali, has as - sured them that the plague may lie dormant in an old coat for two years, and relates what occurred in the Ro man Catholic convent of St. Jean d'Acre, where the gar ment of a monk taken out of a box after a length of time had destroyed eight of the brethren, seriatim ! To les sen the mortality in my case as much as possible, the Maltese authorities have shut up a poor fellow with me " to take the plague" if it will please to come out and communicate itself within 20 days. The authorities have particularly impressed him with the fear of paper, espe cially if it be folded or wrapped up ; so he carefully airs my bank -notes and billets-doux ; yet, strange to say. leaves my books and coats unaired, satisfied with merely, touchingjtheir backs or corners ; whereas there might be plague enough within their folds and pages to infect all Europe two years hence. But that's their affair. I am suffering quite sufficiently for my country, and, as it appears, for all the other countries also, from Malta to Nova Zembla. If a Nile boil break out on my hand or a musquito or sandfly close up my guardiano's eye, it will have " a most suspicious appearance," and may perhaps lead to our imprisonment for 80 days instead of 20. My fellow -travellers are all more or less suffering from loss of appetite, derangement of the bile, indigestion, &c., in consequence of being compelled to bask on this rock without an opportunity of taking exercise; but nobody has the temerity to ask for a dos e o f salts, that would b e - . equivalent t o pleading "guilty of bad health "—a crime which is punished quite as severely in a lazaretto as poverty is in a workhouse. The guardiano is the doctor's spy, and follows "the suspected" like his shadow, to prevent him shaking hands, borrowing newspapers, and exchanging plagues with his companions. He watches their declining appetite, morning, noon, and evening, and at night locks them up to make all sure that ennui and " the separate system shall do their worst. There is a melancholy illustration of the effects of this mode of treatment in Fort Manoel at present. One of our fellow travellers, a German engineer of considerable talent, but of very nervous temperament, who is returning home after a fruitless tour in search of wealth and honours—disappointed, mortified, swindled, and so forth—has become so disgusted and excited by the end less touching, and prying, and spying, and meddling, and questioning about his health, on the part of his guardiano, that his fancy has disabled his digestion, his appetite, and his sleep ; he imagines the Italian has cast "an evil-eye" on him, and puts something into his food to keep him on the sick list, a prisoner here, toujours ; but he is on the alert ; he won't eat ; he won't drink ; he won't slumber ; he won't be poisoned at his hands ; he won't become ill to gratify him ; in fine„ the poor devil would starve himself if his fellow-travellers did not send into town for ship biscuits and bottled porter for him ! The quarantine has not exactly succeeded in developing the plague in this instance, but it has done something— , it has elicited 'the waking delirium without the bubos ; but, unfortunately, it knows just as little how to cure in sanity as pestilence. Some' months since " the suspected gentlemen" were allowed an opportunity of breathing a little fresh air in a boat with their guardians (which boat was towed by an other boat manned by officials)about the harbour; but un fortunately the guardians or the quarantine boatmen per mitted some foolish " suspected gentlemen" to commit e breach of discipline by leaving their boat, and ever since the authorities of Malta have taken the liberty of punishing all travellers from cast to west for the fault of their own officials. The practice in the interior of the fort also presents some remarkable features which ]hake those who have any faith in the danger of touch, open their eyes rather widely. Their guardianos may go about the lazaretto unquestioned, and get the 'plague wherever they please at the expense of their " suspected" wards. The restaurateur has a monopoly and has made a fortune, though he was but a porter a few years ago. His trattorio (literally the cook's-shop) must contain a perfect re-union of res infecta ; fur thither are carried, after meals, all the breakfast, din ner, and supper services, not merely touched, but pretty well handled by " the suspected," to change hands again next day, and thereby dish up the suspicious of Alex andria with those of Beyrout, Constantinople, Damietta, and so on through all the localities of the plague alpha bet down to Zante, whose quarantine has just been doubled here, because the Hon. Stewart Mackenzie has dared to reduce the term of imprisonment in. the lonian Isles. I am certain that the plates and dishes are washed, but I am equally certain that the wooden trays on which they are brought are not washed, although .freely handled by the servants who wait upon " the gentlemen sus pected." I was awfully impressed with the ri gidity of the rul es of Fort Manoel, — on landing, at finding myself obliged to carry my own boxes up the steep stone-flights into the strong-room in which they and I were to be locked up (for it appears there is nobody attached to the establishment whose business it is to lend a hand on such occasions) ; but my respect for the sagacity of the authorities was sadly diminished on the morrow, when I found a schoolboy's slate, with its wooden frame, which had already passed through several hands, placed (along with its pencil) i n m i ne, to wr i te j my orders for di nner ! Again, in sending out some shillings to make purchases in Valetta, they were passed with great ceremony through vinegar (which vinegar, plague-stricken as it must have been, was not thrown away, but kept at hand for the benefit of the next current coin), while at the same instant a " suspected gentleman" was indulged with a pinch of snuff out of the silver box of the captain of the lazaretto, who politely placed it on the balustrade within his reach. The gentleman took it up, helped himself at leisure, and laid it down on the same stone again, after which the captain put it into his pocket (" touch " and all) without passing it through vinegar ! A traveller from Turkey must not lend his telescope to his friend from Egypt, although they may have both arrived the same day ; but he may hand it to his "compromised" guardiano, who will hand it to his friend, and thus the danger of " contagion " is avoided ! Contact seems to be the original sin, yet dozens of " the suspected " from different places daily handle the same balustrades at the parlatorios, and the same ropes and buckets at the well, sit on the same stone benches, and pace over th e same conf i ned spot of earth, as if the hands, feet, &c., were incapable of any other function but that of " touch."

To the Overseers of the Parish of I hereby give you notice that I occupy a at No. in Street, in your Parish, and I claim to be rated to the relief of the Poor in respect of such premises in order that I may be entitled to Vote in the Election of Members of Parliament for the City Dated this day of 184 (Signed) TlMES.—Dublin, as our readers are happy to know, is one of the places in which, after all their intimidation, the Liberals have been unsuccessful. Such was their ferocity under the disappointment, that when, on the Saturday night, the elec tion had terminated in favour of Mr. West and Mr. Grogan (the former of whom was confined by indisposition to his house), it became necessary that Mr. Grogan should return to his residence under an escort ; ancraccordingly he went home through the streets of that civilised metropolis guarded by a party of the 10th Hussars! The same spirit which had so savagely overawed the constituency of Dublin city, continued to exercise its terrors upon that of Dublin county. The coal porters, as berate, were the most conspicuous of the ruffians. On the night of Sunday, the 11th, the night immediately pre ceding the first day of the poll, they set fire to a dwelling house near Santry, and forcibly carried off and secured twelve of the Roman Catholic tenants of Mr. Woods, of Milvertown, who mere desirous to vote with their landlord for the Conservatives. When the poll began, armed parties of these coal. porters paraded the streets leading to Kilmain ham and the avenues around the hustings. On Tuesday and Wednesday, indeo, when the advantage appeared to be with the Popish candidates, the polling went on more quietly, but on the night between the Wednesday and the Thursday, the priests' party seem to have thought that an example was be come needful, and consequently a farmer, named Macalister, who had voted for the Conservatives, was on that night waylaid on his road home, near the village of Rathcoolc, and treated with such violence that his life was not only endangered, but would ' in all probability have been sacrificed on the spot, but for the timely arrival of one of the maileoaches from Dublin. In the coure of Thursday, however, it became obvious that all these murderous means would be unavaling ; and early on the Friday morning the Radical candidates resigned. It is probably to the near attendance of an ade. quate military force that the discomfiture of the intimidation, both in the city and in the county of Dublin, must mainly be attributed. It will be seen as we proceed with these notices, that in other districts, where the same assistance was not avail able, the violence and terror reached a height yet more bar barous, and succeeded in storming a bloody victory. We are often told that there is no difference between the English and the Irish people, and that therefore there ought to be no dis tinction between English and Irish institutions or franchises. This difference, at least, between the English and the Irish Constituencies, we think, is tolerably perceptible--that in order to prevent intimidation at an English election, the military mrst be marched out; in order to prevent it at an Irish elec tion, the military must be marched in. POST.—We collect from the Whig-Radical journals of Edinburgh, that Ministers are endeavouring to force Lord Jeffrey to retire from the Bench of Justice in Scotland. as they forced Lord Plunket to retire from the Chancellorship of Ireland, and for the similar purpose of providing a place for a hungry and importunate partisan. The Edinburgh Observer says :—" Considerable excitement at present prevails in Leith, in consequence of apparently well-founded reports that her Majesty's Advocate, Mr. Rutherford, is about to retire from the representation of these burghs, in expectation of being ele vated to the Bench, as it is understood great efforts have, within the last few days, been made to obtain Lord Jeffrey's resignation, on account of his recent serious indispcsi tion." It further appears that, in anticipation of the suc cess of this Scotch job, the Whig-Radical electors of Leith have split into two hostile cabals, the one in favour of Mr. Robert Steuart and the other in favour of Mr. Joseph Hume, both in the unfortunate predicament of having been re jected by other and more judicious constituencies. The Minis terial journal above quoted is decidedly of the Hume faction. It says that, " Although Mr. Steuart's exertions in the cause of reform are thoroughly appreciated by a considerable num ber of the electors, it is understood that the great seal and unwearied labours of Mr. Joseph Hume have endeared him to a large majority of the constituency. We have no doubt that Mr. Hume will be peculiarly ac ceptable to the whole body of Dissenters. His career as a public man has been devoted to the diffusion of Liberal opinions. To a mercantile community, no man can come be fore it with treater claims than Mr. Hume. He is profoundly versed in finance; and as a thorough Reformer of abuses in f‘o ti u ‘ ri • t e thL r i y henio d ticht e h p :e a va r eni t ard m ,st e t nt Mr. Hume stands unrivalled."

MORNING PAPERS OF THIS I) CHRONICLE.— A further depression took 1 A Y. in the clay, Consols for P Account English funds at one period to having declined to 894 to %. The . cause of ttheflatness in Consols may be attributed to various circiuemtestances, but we be the present un lieve the whole and sole cause merges settled state of the weather, and the imm edi ate consequences arising from it. We had occasion last week to notice a decline avrrliiccuhlawrlas followed yesterday in the Continental Exchanges, which by a more marked depression,. from this circumstance occurri ng yen Hamburgh ; and at a period when a somewhat quantity of foreign corn is finding its way to this considerable country, with a disposition on the m e part of speculators to send out further orders, we need not Directors should deem it necessary to su lo r o p k ris to ed their r t e t wa he Ban posi ls . posi tion, and apply the screw in time, should it unfortu nately happen that an i mortation of grain should be required to any extent, alt hougha we l trust . tha t t e thz e re u Ls no occasion at present to look w forthcoming crops ; still it behoves th g os e e m co y n v n l e e c w ter with the mercantile world not to launch out too deeply into under akings wh ere any contraction of t the currency may lead to a disastrous issue. We hive felt the more inclined to touch upon this subject to-day, from the circumstance that we have good reason to believe that the Bank Directors have already seen the necessity of contracting the present already extraor dinary low circulation. The method said to be adopted in the present instance is effected through the medium of the Bank brok.er, w h o, i t CO is said, y es t er d ay was a g i ver o f i p er cent . continuation on 150,000 Consols for the Account, the real operation being that of selling 150,000 stock for Bank notes, and repurcLasing a similar amount at an advance of A per cent. for the 26th of August. So that the effect of this operation is obviously to take out of circulation that amount of notes, and thus indirectly become themselves borrowers of money; which Plan, if carried out to any extent, cannot fail to give it an in creased value, both in the Stock Exchange and Lombard-street. TlkleS. The last Gazette contains the usual return of the amount of notes circulated in England and Wales by private and joint stock banks during the three months from the 27th of March, 1341, to the 26th of June, 1841. From this return it appears that the three months ending the 26th of June, 1841, as compared with the three months ending the 27th of March, 184/, show an increase of 284,6131. bein on in the last quarter, g the inc rease i n the total amount of country notes i n Mr as compared with th e preceding culati quarter.

But any person claiming in other parishes, where more than one rate has been made since the 31st of last July, will be entitled in the following year, whether rated or not. THE HOUSES OF PARLIAMENT.—A number of workmen are at present engaged in making alterations in the Houses of Lords and Commons. In both the bar has been advanced upwards of 10 feet into the body of the house, which will prove a great convenience on occa sions of the examination of witnesses. The chair of the Sergeant at Arms has also been removed and placed even with the bar, consequently several rows of seats for members will be at the back of the Sergeant's chair. The alterations and improvements going forward are consider ed very judicious. In the passages of the House of Lords, Dr. Reid is making various experiments, the ob ject of which is to obtain, if possible, a regular heat and a better ventilation. According to the Boulogne Gazette, the number of passengers that arrived at Boulogne from London and Dover in the course of last week was 580, and the num ber that left was 568. The City of Boulogne steamer, which made her voyage in twelve hours on Sunday last, brought 166 passengers, and 20 horses. ~~~-._ 1 4„c'13 , 4:"1yipa, , " • • -:f . • ch vice renders to Virtue."

The increase in the stock of bullion held by the Bank of England at the same periods was 759,0001.

The com parison of the stack of bullion held by the Bank of England at' the same period shows an increase of 664,000/. HERALD.—It may be remarked that, although no large operations are being carried on, and speculation in point of Mee is entirely inactive, yet the purchases for real investment are sufficiently numerous still, chiefly however for account of pas ties now or lately in receipt of their dividends upon the Three and 'Three-and-a-Half per Cent. stocks, the latter of which is now open for transfers at the Bank also.. But for the state of the weather and the efforts in Mark -lane to excite exaggerated alarms on that head, there would have been a strong tendency to a rise in the quotations. An advance in. the prices of corn in bond of from Is. to 2s. per quarter is re ported from the Corn Market. It may be noted that the weather is by no means so unfavourable for the prospects of a fair harvest as assumed or asserted by interested parties. FOP the rain, though heavy and continuous, is knon n to be only partially so, and limited to certain districts, whilst, after all, warm south-western showers, if fullowed seasonably by dry summer weather, cannot fail to he profitable to tke growing crops. It may be taken for granted also that a much larger breadth of land was laid down for wheat at the close of last year than perhaps for several years before. POST.—It is folly to suppose that the Bank of England can have any object in keeping down the amount of her note issues, but the general 'welfare of the nation. The interest of• the proprietors lies obviously in the contrary policy, could it be pursued. The choice of foreigners in the exchange they shall take for the corn and other commodities they send us alter nates between goods and gold. If goods be too high among us, the exchanges make the fact apparent. To what circumstance do the free-trade economists ascribe the late awful failures at Vienna,Trieste,and other parts of Ger - many ? We have had nothing at all approaching them in Eng land, and it is not pretended that they have been produced by Corn-laws. SUN.—There bas been again a less buoyant market for Consols, but the Three-and-a-Half per Cent. Stocks, owing to the plentifulness of money, and the want of profitable safe employment for it, have improved.' Consols were kept down by one or two loose reports of failures, and by the continued rainy weather. For im mediate transfer they realised 89k to 894, closing at 89i to 894, and for Account they were 894 ii-, the latest bargains, however, being at 89i to 90. Exchequer Bills were 13s. to 15s. prem., and East India Bonds 4s. to 6s. prem. Bank Stock was firm at 1711, and India Stock at 2481 to 249 k. The Reduced Three-and-a-Halr per Cents, were at 99i to i, For Foreign Stocks a very slow sale was found to day. Spanish Bonds supported their price, as the intel ligence from Madrid via Paris received by express to-day, was considered satisfactory. The money, price was 20k. and that for account touched 201 ;_ Portugues e New Five per C en t s. rema i ned at 301, and the Three per Cents. at 18i ; Mexican Bonds of 1837 were at 2, to I I ; French Five per Cent.

North Midland shares were 32k, Brighton 74, and Blackwall 94 discount. T- HE SUFFRAGE A SOURCE OF REVENUE. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sru,—As the returns from the different elections throughout the country render it altogether improbable that the Ministerial plan for meeting the financial em barrassments will be carried into effect, I am induced to suggest a mode of raising about one million and a half yearly, and that in a way which, while it would not fall heavy upon any, would confer a benefit upon the many, in securing in perpetuity the Constitutional right of the suffrage to all. It is simply this—to grant the suffrage to every adult male (subject to a yearly registration as to residence), for which the fee shall be six shillings. Assuming that, tie present fee of one shilling covers the expenses, there will remain five shillings to go to the Treasury, which on an adult population of six millions would be one million and a half pounds a year, as I propose. Now, Sir, Ido not think any cogent objection can be brought against this m o d e o f ra i s i ng the supplies. It ia but fair that every freeman should contribute something directly towards the support of the State. Those who have already got the franchise should not consider six shillings a year as too much, seeing they will have to na v the same, or more, to make up the present de ficiency in the finances. Those who are as yet unenfran chiseci, would, I am confident, be willing to obtain their freedom on these conditions. In fact, they are contri buting much about the same sum at present in their associations for procuring Universal Suffrage. The lowest weekly subscription is a penny per week, but other expenses make it at least threehalfpenc e per week, or sixpence per month, which is, indeed, the general price of their cards of membership, that is, six shillings per year, the sum I have proposed as the registration fee. Tnis plan would enrol all the adult male population in one class, similar to that of the capite censi of Ancient Rome. And here, I may observe, that Rome, jealous of h.r liberties, never entrusted the defence of her soil to any but such as were free. Even whea the calamity of Cannte obliged her to enlist her slaves, the very act of enlistment became that of their manumission ; and, in bearing the arms of the Republic, they cessed to be slaves, and at once were free. In sacramentum nalitice liberates servitia. Libertate donati .fccerant de servitute Rontanos. Entered on the roll of their peculiar tribes, they from that day forward were entitled to vote for - , Ediles Quwstors, frwtors, and Consul s ; th ose w h o, in their donsular and Proconsular, Praetorian and Proprre torian dignities, swayed the destinies of the Republic at home and in her Colonies. Further, this right once ob t:zinee, they never lost, but transmitted it unimpaired to the latest hne of their posterity. This country has been contented to pay twenty mil lions, or about one million per year, to purchase the free dom of the Black. Let not the adult male population grudge to pay somewhat more to secure the perpetual. enfranchisement of the White, when all classes and all interests being fairly represented in Parliament there is little doubt but that every question bearing on the prosperity of the country will receive the amplest and the most advantageous discussion within the walls of the House of Commons. The source of revenue which I now point out has this . advantage, that as it appeals to the highest feelings di our nature—the love of liberty, so it mutt continue to in crease with the increase of an enfranchised population. ' I am, Sir, your obedient servant, WILLIAM VILLIERS SANKEY. 30, Harmood-street, July 19, 1841. MINERAL PRODUCE OF FRANCE (From the Moniteur Industrial.) In the Administration of Mines, as in almost every other department, there is great dilatoriness, in fact do advance whatever has been made. Thus we are not in formed of the proceedings of the year 1839 till June 1841. It must be the general opinion that this is taking things a little too leisurely. We ought to add, that in order to proceed more quickly, and to abridge the labour, the Administration of Mines has reproduced for the last three years certain statements in which not a single figure has been changed ! Before enumerating the details, we think it right to make a statement of the progressive improvement of the mines in France, with which the productive power of tho country is more closely connected than with any other. The value of all the mineral products amounted In 1834 t 0.......

The difficulty experienced in procuring accurate statements, with respect to the working of the turf' pits in the l ow vl fl9e i ii s 6 nearly four millions of francs. communes, leaves some uncertainly as to the number of workmen engaged in that labour, and the value and quantity of the turf which they supply. In a great many situations the communal turf pits are only worked during some days in the summer ; and the turf which is extracted is exclusively appropriated to the use of the inhabitants, who have extracted it, or have caused it to be extracted by their wives and children. In some departments, on the contrary, the working of turf is carried on very extensively, and the fuel sup plies many important manufactories ; such as sugar houses, distilleries, dye-houses, steam-boilers, lime-kilns, &c. Turf is likewise used in some forges, but the quan tity consumed in the manufacture of iron appears to be rather diminished than increased. PEEL'S INCAPACITY.—We believe there has been a sort of va9;ue idea floating in the minds of many persons, that a IClicistry, of which Sir Robert Peel was at the head, would be ready with measures of an im portant and beneficial character, especially relating t o Commerce, from which the interests that have so long been suffering in Vie country might fairly expect to derive considerable refs' and advantage ; and that, in the corn mercial boroughs especially, this idea has occasionally had a considerable influence upon the elections. W e need not say that we do not parti c ip a t e i n any such hopes.
