The Work which is now presented to the public is the result of very extended experience in a class of diseases and affec tions, which for some unaccountable reason have been either altogether overlooked, or treated with apathy, and almost in difference, by the ci dinary practitioner. To enter into the details of these affections, to point out their causes, and to mark the terrific consequences, social, moral, and physical, which ar e sure t o f o llow from indulgence, in certain h a bit s , would be ent i re l y ou t o f place in an advertisement.

C. B. We have to announce the demise of the above gallant naval officer, who died on Thursday last, at his residence at Plymouth, at an advanced age, after a glorious career of upwards of sixty years in the service of his country. The deceased Admiral, who was son of the late Captain Halsted,. R.N., ,had a numerous family, ten of whom are living, sever.. daughters and three sons, who are in the service of the Eat; India Company. 'I he gallant deceased, when Lieutenant in the Canada, first distinguished himself in Lord Rodney's action with the Count de Grasse in 1782, and from his return to this country in the winter of the same year, until 1791, saw but little service, When he was arpouited to the Atalante sloop in the East Indies. In 1791 he was removed to the Fleeter, 74 guns, under the command of Rear-Admiral Sir George Montague, and subsequently was ap pointed to the command of the Venus, of 32 guns, which formed part of the squadron of Rear-Admiral Harvey in the North Sea. While commandiug.the Phcenix. in 1793 he cap tured, after a gallant action, the Dutch frigate Argo, of 3G guns, and was favourably mentioned in Lord Duncan's des patches to the Admiralty for his gallantry on that occasion. In 1800 he was actively employed in the blockade of Cadiz, under the ecremand of Sir Rich. Bickerton, and during his service in the Mediterranean commanded a squadron of frigates, and suc ceeded in capturing La Canere, a French frigate of 40 guns, and the Success, of 28 guns, and completely de , troyed La Pra voure, a French frigate of 46 guns. He was subsequently its 1807 selected by Sir C. Cotton, then Commander-in-Chief of the Lisbon station, to serve as captain of the fleet under his orders, and he was destined to perform the important and ar duous duties of that appointment with credit to himself and sa tisfa lion to the Home Government. He returned to England with Sir Charles Cotton in the llibernia, in 1803. The de ceased Admiral was also a participator in the glory cf Sir Rich- Strachan's victory, and for his eminent services on that cicala : sion was rewarded with a medal. He was in the receipt of a. good service pension of 300/. a year, being the senior flag of ficer enjoying that liberal allowance, and had an honorary re ward from the Patriotic Fund. His commission was dated as follows:—Lieutenant, Dec. 8, 1781 ; Commander, Nev. 22, 1790 ; Captain, May 31, 1791 ; Rear-Admiral, July 31, 1810 ; Vice• Admiral. June 4, 1814; and Admiral, July 22, 1830. In consideration of his brilliant services her Majesty was pleased to nominate the Gallant Admiral a G.C.B. Feb. '24, 1837. COLLEGE LIFE AT CAMBRIDGE.—Wearing a gown in the dny time is the cluracteristic et Cr.mbridge of freArtretroad reading- urea, no one else does it, and yet; . . every one is liable to a fine if caught without the ecatlemical dress. At Oxford they used to inflict the fine. It was a feat t t be performed twice a sear to take a 66 hat wais," for it is impossib'e to take a long walk with the oreiscry cap and gown hanging about out. A student was once met by his tutor with his hat on during a violent witte.. " What do you mean, Sir, by coming out without your car, Sir?" said the tutor. " Because the cap won': stay on in this wind, Sir," said the pupil. " Well, Sir, and don't I keep mine on well enough ?" exclaimed the tutor- The next moment the tutor's cap was floating down the W.I. It is told, we believe, of the fattier of a pier rwv: living, that presuming on his intimacy with the authnri ties, he ventured to appear in the High-street i.vithow his gown. " Whit do you mean, S:r, be this. conduct ?" sail the Proctor, meeting him ; " take care I raver see- you again out of academical dress ;—tLe statutes, sir, must be enfurced, and we shall not suffer you to ciiobey them." Away went the ungraduate to his tailor, and ordered a dress precisely in conformity to the statuter, consisting of a scarlet gown of a most extraordinary make—tutu statutes, be it remembered, arc many hundred years old—and several other appendages equally extra ordinary. With these be paraded the High-street. The Proctor, when he met him, seemed to distrust his otvrt eyes, and could only stammer out an indignant threat. " You will find, S;r," said the undergradua . .e, "that my dress is in the strictest conformity to that ordered by the stwute." The Proctor was a sharp fellow, and saw that it was best to enter into the joke. "No such thirg, Si:," said the Proctor; '6 on have not got your bands on, and I shall fine you accordingly."—" I Leg your pardon, Sir," said the undergraduate, " fur here . they are." lie pulled up his scarlet gown, and disclo:ed a pair . r-f immense bands hanging down about the os sacrum. , The statute did not specify where they were t.) be worn. • - - Yesterday morning, the men belonging to the first battalion of Scotch Fusilier Guards, stationed at the Wel lington barracks, Bird-cage-walk, St..

THE CORDIAL BALM of YtiItIUU.IVI is intended to relieve those persons who, by an immo derate indulgence of their passions, have ruined their constitu tion, or, on their way to the consummation of that deplorable state, are affected with any of those previous symptoms that betray its approach, as the various affections of the nervous sys• tern, obstinate gleets, involuntary emissions, exc .sses, irregu larity, obstructions of certain evacuations, weakness, total im potency, barrenness, &c. But the relief administered is not confined to these alone. The valetudinarian by birth, who has received from his parents the inheritance of a diseased and un-. prolific frame; the delicate female, whom an immured and in active life, together with the immoderate use of tea and other weak and watery aliments, has, Without any fault of hers, brought on all the calamitous symptoms of a consumptive habit, and is, without timely assistance , sinking into an un timely grave.

In such persons the mental are not less enfeebled than the corporeal powers, and to them a remedy that acts with efficacy, without interfering with domestic habits, is peculiarly desirable.

NOTTINGHAM ELECTION. NOMINATION OF THE CANDIDATES. NOTTINGHAM, MONDAY.--TiliS day the nomination of the Candidates took place in the large room of the Exchange, a fine building erected on one side of the Market-place. About a quarter before ten o'clock, Mr-Larpent, accom panied by Lord Rancliffe, Colonel Wyldman, Mr. Close, and attended by a long train of friends, appeared upon the hus tings. He seemed in excellent health and spirits, and was plainly confident of success. Shortly afterwards the doors were opened, and the public admitted. Mr. Walter and his triends appeared at the same time on the hustings. I observed upon the blue party coming in, that a fight was immediately commenced. I was at a loss for some time to discover the object, but I perceived it was to gain the side of the room where Mr. Walter was seated. At length silence was obtained, and the proclamation for the election was read. During the day the greatest disposition mas exhibited by the Liberal party to give a fair hearin,g to Mr. Walter - and his friend=, but there seemed to be from the first the resolution adopted by the Chartists and Tories to hear, if it were possible, nothing that might be said by those to whom they were opposed. The MAYOR, S. M. B. Pigott, Esq., M.D., came forward . and attempted , to address th e assem bl y . His efforts were ren dered abortive, and the proclamation and other preliminary matters passed off in dumb show. WM. ROWORTH, Esq., the late Mayor. at length presented himself. He was not there to propose Mr. Walter as a Tory. —(Cries of " Oh, oh," and cheers.) He did not know whether Mr. Walter was a Tory or not.—( Laughter.) He was there to propose Mr. Walter as the poor man's friend, and such he would continue to be. A great deal had been said about the discontented classes, and that in sup porting Mr. Walter they were supporting them. What was, he asked, separating the poor from the rich—(Cries from the .Chartists " the Wings")—but the starvation caused by that Bill that was drivitc the Englishman irem his fire side into the workhouse ?—( Cheers. ) Ile proposed John Walter, Esq., as a fit and proper person to represent the borough in Parliament. Mr. CHARLTON, of Chillwell, seconded the nomination. Lord RANCLIFFE here presented himself, and was greeted with loud whistling from the Tory party. He was heard to say he was for Annual Parliaments, Vote by Ballot, and doing away with the accursed Corn-laws —(The shouts and groans of the Tories made the Noble Lord utterly inaudible.) He was understood as proposing Mr. Larpent. Here a boxing-match commenced between some of the champions of the two parties. It appeared' to us as if the Blues had got the worst of it, and there was comparative quiet for a few minutes. FRANCIS HosTE, Esq. seconded the nomination of Mr. Larpent. _ . Mr. WALTER presented himself amidst cheers from the Tories and Chartists and hisses from the opposite party. Silence havin g in some degree been obtained, he said—Upon the subject of the Corn-law he had declared himself in favour of a change, but not a change which would prevent the agri cultural interest from paying their labourers. The change which he advocated was one which would assist in obtaining for them the means of supporting their labourers and depen dents, and it might be adopted without injury to either. , With respect to the Ballot his opponent had observed, " he would support the Ballot if no other mode could be adopted for securing to the voter the free exercise of his opinions." He was surprised that any man should have the hardihood to recommend a system which was yearly sinking into disgrace-- the frauds of which were displayed in the late election of Pre sident for America. If the Ballot were ever adopted there would be end to all intercourse between the representative and the elector. He (Mr. Walter) was a friend to education. But let them not place the cart before the horse. He should wish to see the poor clothed and fed; and it was vain to talk about education until that was done.—(Cheers from the Chartists.) With respect to the Church, his opponent was connected with a party who had dealt out heavy blows and great discouragement upon the Church, and upon Protestant ism, and it would puzzle the whole Council of the London University to make his opponent a friend to the Church, to which he had assisted in dealing out "heavy blows and discou ragement." He ( Mr. Walter) would rather see twenty churches kept in beauty and repair, than one great iron-seated union workhouse. —( Immense shouts from the Chartists ) those work houses would rise in terror throughout the land, and frown down the labouring classes of this country.—(Chartist cheers.) The Whigs had taken off one tax to put on another—they had taken off the postage, but screwed up the assessed and window taxes to the utmost. His opponent (Mr. Larpent) had charged him with changing his views ; but this he de nied. He thought there was nothing so ridiculous as frequent changes, but he (Mr. Walter) had contemplated a Reform Ministry till he was sick of the whole brood. There was but one reform that would do the poor any good, and that the Whigs would noc give them—(" They won't!" from the Chartists)—full stomachs and plenty of labour ; but the Whigs gave them a starving dietary and stone walls. Mr. LARCENY presented himself to the assembly, and he was instantly assailed with shouts, groans, hisses, and the whistling of cat-calls by the Chartists and • Tories, followed by loud cheers from his own friends. It was, however, plain that his opponents had come to the resolu tion that he should not be heard, and in order to take the fol lowing report of his speech it was necessary to stand close beside him. Upon some occasions, so awful was the uproar that he could not be heard even at the distance of a yard. Gentlemen, 1 am as great a friend to the poor as Mr. Walter. —(Hear, hear.) I am, too, a friend to liberal principles ; I' am a fries to Reform also. What is Mr. Walter.?—(Cheers and groans" I am; I icnic. a Ref firmer ;my opponent is a Tory. I avow that lam so; but he does not say so. He would have you sink al these great differences ; slur over all those mighty and important principles that separate us from each other, and let them all sink in the question of the Poor law.—( Hea-, hear.) In the course of my canvass, I may say that my principles have been strengthened, if any addition could be given to their energy. by finding how much you appre ciated the example that was given by your late representative. In him has been presented to me the accomplished gentleman,' the enlightened patriot, the consistent po'itician.—( Cheers.) I have seen that, and I can only say that I will ever be proud to follow his example.—(Cheers.) And here let me say that Mr. Walter, my honourable antagonist, has said one thing which has indeed astonished me, and was well calculated to amaze you. What ! he is the man who complains of a change of principles:—he, above all other men, apprehends such a change in me A more extraordinary charge, from such an accuser, never came from the lips of man (Laughter.) Is it not true, I ask you, that Mr. Walter is a double-faced Tory—that at one time he was a Reformer, and that at another period he is a Tory ?—( Laughter.) That here he voted one way—there he voted another ; and that the vote of to-day was in opposition to that of yesterday ; and the speech that he made on a Monday was replied to and re futed by him on a Tuesday; and he it is that is fearful—nay, cautions you against any man who may be in his principles a changeling.—(Laughter.) Mr. Walter then says, that he does not want to educate men's minds until he has first filled their bellies; or, to use his expression, "fed their bellies."—(Cheers from the To-ies ) I say at once,l agree with him—that, too, is my principle ; and it is mainly to effect that principle that I wish to repeal the Corn-laws.—(Cries of " Hear, hear, hear.") My honourable antagonist has said something which seemed to me to be a disposition on his part to repudiate his connection with the Times. I can see no reason why he should repudiate it, for it is a faithful follower of his. He and the Times change together. When he changes the Times changes also. Why, then, should he be ashamed of his connection with it? lie has in it the advantage of com. mending the aid of gentlemen of very considerable ability, and who, to serve his purposes, have not at all hesitated to say that I was a Frenchman. Gentlemen, I appeal to any personal ap pearance, am I a French Man ?—(Laughter. ) Gent'emen, I was born and bred an Englishman. My father was born and bred an Englishman. My grandfather was born and bred an Englishman. My great-grandfather, 155 years ago, became an exile from his native country, because he was made a mar tyr in the great cause of religious freedom.—(Cheers.) It was because he pre'erred his religious liberty to the caprices of a tyrant that he became an exile. Persecuted by Louis XIV. he took refuge in this country, which he considered as the re fuge of liberty, and it was that which made him .adopt as his motto —" Where liberty is, there is my country."—(Cheers.) The ancestor of my friend, Sir S. Remaly. also came to Eng land at the same time. I am, also, to tell you that lam not, in the common acceptation of the word, a mere Whig. I am, as my Noble Friend has said to you—' a Whig and something more."—(Hear.) The whole tenor of my life must prove that I never was, never could be, for the constant confine ment of the poor within the walls of a workhouse.—( Hear.) I have been accused, continued Mr. Larpent, on one paper, of being a placeman ; I never was a placeman—l never expect to be a placeman—and what is more, Gentlemen, I never will be a placeman.—(Cheers. ) 'I he real question between me and Mr. Walter is this—which I have put upon my word—will you have a person who votes for the Ballot, or the Times newspaper? Will you have one who vo'es for an Exten , ion of the Suffrage, or the Times newspaper? Will you have Par liaments shortened, or the Times newspaper? Will you have the general diffusion of education, or the Times newspaper? Will you have the most unbounded liberty of conscience, or the Times newspaper, that has, for the last twenty years written for, against, advocated and opposed, supported and denounced, the most extraordinary, extravagant, and antago nistical principles ?—( Cheers arid renewed clamour.) lam prepared to vote for such a modification of the New Poor-law Bill as shall at once secure the welfare of the poor, and the interests of the ratepayer : lam one for giving to the poor man the full value of his labour, and by free trade of extending the markets in which the articles that he produces are. consumed, and thus raising the price of his labour. I would, too, by a Repeal of the Corn-laws—a total Repeal—give to the poor the full benefit of cheap food; so that their wives and their children might have an abundant supply of the great necessary of life.—( Hear. )—I am a friend to religious liberty, and have too much of the blood of the old Reformers in me to sanction any impost that could be re garded as a tax upon conscience. I would not have Dissen ters to pay Church-rates, but I would have the Church sup ported out of its own funds, the working clergy provided for, and'the Church itself maintained out of the proper allocation and wise management of its own funds.—(Cheers.) I stand, then, here before you an uncompromising friend to civil and religious liberty—l am here an advocate for a repeal of the Corn-laws—l am here a friend to free trade. Which do you prefer—these principles of mine, that are consistent, or the variable, changing, vacillating, uncertain, but at present most Tory principles of my opponent?—(Cheers.) THOMAS ROBERTS, Jun., Esq., then called for a show of hands. For Mr. Walter a large, number in the body of the hall was held up. For Mr. Larpent nearly the whole of the platform, a few down the side, and some at the bottom of the hall.

(Prom a Correspondent.) The clamo ur excited in this place against the new Poor-law is most unjust and senseless, for here its stringent enactments have in no instance been enforced. In the Nottingham Union there has been no separation of man and wife—no denial of out-door relief in necessitous cases—no Avant of sufficient food, clothing, or exercise—no lack of care and attention in s ickness—no neglect of education amongst the children, and only such a discipline has been observed as is s uited to the pre in - servation of peace and order such a community of 500 or 600 persons.

We regret to state that the papers do not contain any news of the President, nor can the captain give any intelli gence whatever of the missing steamer. It is therefore pretty evident that she could not have reached Bermuda, as the Richard Anderson has made the very short passage of twenty three days from port to port. The papers brought by the Richard Anderson do not contain any news of importance. We are hourly looking for the arrival of the Independence arid the British Queen, both now due. The following letter was posted in the Underwriters' rooms to-day:— "Extract of a Letter received yesterday by Messrs. Crain. and Paton from Captain Marr, of the Minerva, at anchor in Loch Swilly (Ireland), which sailed from this port, for Newfoundland, on the 11th inst. : " I have had very heavy gales ever since I left Liverpool, and have made but little progre3s to the westward, but am glad to say that the Minerva sails remarkably well. " On Sunday, the 18th inst., lat. 55. 9., long. 10. 17., saw a brig to windward, with loss of maintop, mast, and sails, with a signal of distiess flying. She bore down upon us at three o'clock, p.m., and turned out to be the Mariner's Hope, of Sunderland, Hater, master, and bound from Sunderland to Restigouche. The master hailed us, " for God's sake to stay by him," as the vessel was in a sinking state, and try to take them on board, the water by this time being over the bal last. We were under close-reefed topsails at the time, and a heavy sea running. We accordingly lay by them, and at seven P.M. they launched their long boat, put the crew's clothes into her, and five men came on board ; but the boat was stove, and was not able to proceed to her again. We lay by her all night, and at four o clock A.M. next day, bore down upon her again, but were not able to launch a boat, and as I considered I had not sufficient water for her crew (14 men) and our own, if wo - had a long passage, I spoke the master, and asked him what he intended doing. He said he wanted to leave the ship, and come on board, but the sea was running so high that a boat could not live in it. I desired him to keep away, as I would take him into a safe port. He did so, and I brought him safe here. Having lodged my declaration for salvage with Messrs. Alexander, of Londonderry, and the wind being fair, I shall proceed to sea immediately. (Signed) " JOHN MARII.'" SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. FROM TSB MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY. POST.—Df.STAUCTION OF LORD MORPETH'S BILL.— We heartily congratulate the country on the triumphant ma jority by which Lord Howick's amendment of the above mea sure was carried last night, in defiance of the utmost efforts of her Majesty's Ministers. The object of Lord Howick's amendment is to impart the right of voting in Irish counties to persons possessing a beneficial leasehold interest in land to the value of 5/. per annum, to be computed by the excess of rating over the amount of the rent and charges to which he is subject. This, though not the kind of franch se of which the Conservative party can entirely approve, seemed to them so far preferable to that which Lord Morpeth's Bill would have established, namely, a fran chise entirely unconnected with and independent of property, that, voting in Committee, they thought it their duty to sup port it. The strong Parliamentary ground for the course taken by the Conservatives was clearly and eloquently ex plained by Lord Stanley and Sir Robert Peel. But there is another ground upon which the public at large will rejoice at the course adopted by the Conservatives, and at its triumphant result. They have given a deathblow to the Morpeth trick, or a deathblow to the small remaining reputation of Ministers for consistency and integrity. This is the alternative. Let Ministers make their choice. CHRONICLE.—The demand of Lord John Russell led to a very ridiculous misconception of the object of it, which ob tained currency in the clubs—that Ministers were contemplat ing a resignation. We will not offer such an insult to the un derstanding of our readers as to suppose that they would ex pect us to contradict so silly a rumour. No Ministry would think of resigning on a question which cannot be deemed a trial of the strength of parties. Lord Howick had no intention by his amendment of forwarding any Tory objects ; and though the Tories chose to divide in favour of it, the Amendment could not have been carried without Liberals who conscientiously coinbided in opi nion with his Lordship. Ministers would very imperfectly fulfil the trust reposed in them by their Sovereign, and ill re quite the confidence reposed in them by the supporters of-Li beral opinions, were they to make such a division as that o f last night a pretext for throwing up office. Time for delibe ration as to the course they . ought to pursue with regard to the Bill was very properly inquired by them, because it is neces sary they should weigh well the various circumstances which may render it necessary to abandon the Bill altogether, or to adopt the alterations of Lord Howick. But why should they hesitate as to continuing the Government? They would indeed incur a very serious responsibility were they to suffer the reins of Government at this time to be usurped by a party with no claims to the confidence of the country, and over whom the leaders and moderate men among them have no control. What! resign government in favour of men who one day are violent Orangemen, and the next coquetting with Chartists ? Besides, the Tories do not possess a majority in the House of Commons, and must, if they took office, resort to a dissolution—a dsssolution at a time, when, by their al liance with Chartists, an election would throw the country into the greatest confusion. The vote of last night is immaterial, as far as continuance in office is concerned, though it may add to the difriculties or Ministers in geverning Ireland. TIMES.—The precise degree of respect which the 1-louse of Commons entertains for the Whi g compact with O'Connell, and also for the Popish liegistrationßill, which, under pretext of defining the quaLfication of Irish voters, propo,e , t to enfran chise every applicant who might happen to bear the im primatur of the Repeal Association, has been pretty signifi cantly shown by the division on Lord Howick's amendment, whereby . the Ministers were kicked into the kennel by an ad verse majority of 21. By the amendment of the Noble Lord, though scarcely effecting what the exigencies of the case re quire, such a substantial improvement has been made upon Lord Morpeth's collusive measure, as will at least prevent fraudulent tenures from acquiring the elective rights due only to a bona fide qualification ascertainable by the Poor-law rating. So manifest to the Whigs was the tendency of th's proposal for destroying their stock-dependence in Ireland, that they opposed it with the most desperate and convulsive energy. Lord Morpeth fawned, flattered, and implored. Lord John Russell philosophized, crossed himself, and almost screamed for extreme unction. But the House happened to be in an obstinate fit : or, we should rather say, more patriotic and philosophical than its nominal leader could control. His own troops tore their mountings from their uniform, and flung them in his Lordship's face. The discomfiture to the disconcerted Whigs was an astounding one. What new evidence of Whig tenacity and meanness will be forthcoming nn Wednesday, until which day the further con sideration of the Bill is postponed, our readers will be at no loss to conjecture. Alas for the Whigs ! ADVERTlSER.—Notwithstanding the proceedings of last night, we scarcely regret that the Tories were not to be conci liated. A Tory- Whig policy would be the most dangerous to public liberty 'that could possibly be established in England. However, therefore, the Tories may cajole the popular suffragss about the Poor-law, we rejoice that on other miles of policy they scorn compromise. The people have nothing to gain and everything to lose by a Whig-Tory fraternization. There has, however, lately been a strong tendency to this consummation. The anecdote which the Times told of the " worthy gentle man" who withheld his subscription from the Conservative Association, on the grounds that " to displace Ministers would be merely to drive out ene set of scoundrels to make way for another," seems to have stimulated the wavering Tories into the more envenomed assertion of their principles. Hence the taunts of Sir Robert Peel last night. "No surrender" is now the watchword of the Tories. Ministers must, therefore, deter mine decisively and at once, " to be or not to be." HERALD.—The Conservative leaders would certainly have some show of reason on their side, if, in the exuberance of of their many triumphs over their political antagonists, they were tempted to indulge in somewhat decided expressions of exultation. We trust, however, that they will withstand the " strong temptation," and, by a steady perseverance in that collected constancy of purpose which has hitherto dignified their noble and sustained efforts at upholding the true interests of the country, in the uncompromited integrity of the Consti tution—will assert new claims to the confidence and respect of all their fellow-subjects. And yet—in the contemplation of their crowning triumph of last night, when they difeated the Whig radical Ministry and their party, in a house of 561 Mem bers—on the question of the elective franchise according to the 51. (or Universal Suffrage) standard, so recently set up and insisted upon in all its stringency by Lord Morpeth, as the amount of rating to the Poor-rate which should qualify for the elective franchise in Ireland, they must have felt somewhat of the abounding self-gratulation of the Macedonian hero, who " fought all his battles o'er again And thrice he routed all his foes, And thrice he slew the slain." It is our duty now to record that, last night, on the debate being re-umed in Committee on the Parliamentary Voters ( Ireland) Bill, Lord Howick moved an amendment which, like most of his Lordship's kind efforts to assist his political friends, has proved, in its results, very well calculated to oust them from their seats. MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS. FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY. POST.—The En g li s h funds have again sliced a fraction on Saturday's dosing value. The view taken by us of the general prospects of the Money Mark e t s eems to bb admitted to be a correct o ne , Th ere i s an id ea , h ow ever, that in addi tion to the causes assigned by us, as among the principal ones of the existing depression, the approach of the day appointed by Mr. Baring for the production of his budget of ways and means, namely, the 30th inst., is beginning to tell in some de gree on prices, the ascertained deficiencies in many of the leading branches of the revenue being of an extent and nature to suggest to prudent speculators the policy of a pause in their operations. There can be no doubt that the measures about to be adopted by the Chancellor of the Excheq uer for coverin g the national charges must be deeply interesting to moneyed men, and, perhaps, it is rather to be w ondered at that the funds should at such a moment be so little affected as the y are. SUN.—General business in the City is anything but satisfactory, but there are hopes that our usual Con tinental customers will come forward when they find prices are so much in favour of the p urchase rs , and thereby give a stimulus to trade. The German Customs Con Terence has not yet been brought to a close, from which it would appear that the system of exclusion adopted al.. most avowedly in order to cramp the commercial encl.• pies of this country, does not altogether work so well as ' could be desired by the projectors. The Funds have been declining to-day in consequence of the preponderance of sales. Consols fur immediate transfer realised 904- to 90, and for the Account 904 to 90-; Exchequer Bills keep steady at 14s. to 16s. pre mium ; and lodia Bonds at 2s. to 4s. premium ; the New Three-and-a Half per Cents. were r educed to 99 and 981 ' • and the Th ree p er Cent:'. to 89-1 and 89; B an k Stock for the Opening was worth 1721. There was very little animation in the fore'gn securities. Spanish Bonds opened pretty steadily, but the accounts from the Paris 13ouese, noticing a decline in the price caused them to become heavy; the money value was 23k, and the Account price 23i to Mexican Stock was marked 304 to 34, and Brazilian 69i, being a shade lower for the former, and a trifle Letter fur the latter. Danish Bonds were firm at 78 1 , 1 : ; Russian Stock touched 1121 to 113; French Five per Cents. Rentes were worth 1131. 50c., and Dutch Two-and.a- Half per Cents. were dull at 52k. Portuguese New Five per Cents. declined to 34 and 334. The Railway Shares in the course of the day underwent no material change. FINE ARTS. W SOCIETY OF PAINTERS IN WATER COLOURS. This popular exhibition was opened to the public on Wednesday last. It contains upwards of three hundredpaiatings in water-colours, some of which appear on a first hasty glance to have all the breadth and substance of oils. The col lection, as a whole, is hardly so good as its last year's predecessor, but there are several clever pictures in it, and two or three that may be pro nounced to be of superior excellence. No. 19 represents " A Dinner at Page's House ;" the scene is taken from the first act of the "Merry Wives of Windsor," and shows us Falstaff seated at -table in all his glory, filled with sack and all sorts of dainty viands, and chucking Mrs. Page under the chin, who submits to his famili arities with a truly philosophic equanimity. The figure of tile flit knight is perfectly characteris tic; his attitude is one of voluptuous indolence; and his face has that good humoured, oily ex pression which the late Stephen Kemble used to hit off so admirably. Bardolph, who stands be hind "plump Jack" is easily to be recognised by that erubescent enormity which he called a nose: The picture is spiritedly painted, and the artist is Wehnert. No. 60, " The Oath o• of Vares," is by Hagha, the subject is historical, and repre sents the furious Spanish fanatic, Jean Varges„. who. ve,d tu tlielixtt*tli. century', - protiontmig, iu the CO - Uncil Viriiiiiber of the Duke of Alva, an oath of extermination against all heretics.. There - is considerable vigour in the • drawing of the figure, as also in that of the bigoted monk who stands near him. No. 75, " Rebekah at the well of Nahor," is chiefly remarkable for the grace and picturesque beauty of the group ing of the figures. round the well. Rebekah, however, is very tamely drawn, and one would never guess, from her countenance, that she was a Jewess. No. 83, " Dausenau, on the Saline," is a pleasing landscape sketch by Robertson, some of whose water-colours have of late attracted much attention. No. 91, " The Bombardment of St. Jean d'Acre," by Campion, is a cleverish picture—especially that portion of it which depicts the explo sion of the powder-magazine. Here, there is some forcible and judicious colouring, the artist having resisted the temptation to overcharge his colouring. No. 108, " Old Mortality," by Wei gall, is a fancy pOrtrait of the enthusiastic old Covenanter whom Scott has pourtrayed so mi nutely and beautifully in one of the " Tales of My Landlord." He is looking down pensively on a rude, mouldering tomb-stone, with his pony by his side. The expression of the benevolent zealot's face is full of appropriate meaning. The mountain back- ; round is well defined. No. 156, " The Battle dAgincourt," is the joint produc tion of Warren and Weigall. The chief per sonage in the picture is of course Henry the Fifth, who is shown in the act of defending the life of his brother, the Duke of Gloucester, after he has been unhorsed, and thrown to the grbund by the Duke D'Alencon. There is much of Cooper's vivid colouring in this picture, which is replete with animation. No. 175, " Valley of the Rhone, Switzerland, with Castle and Village! of Martigny," is one of the most effec:ive paint ings in the Exhibition. It is from the pencil of Oliver, who has handled a difficult perspective with consummate skill. No. 177, " Sunset, View on the Tyne," would have been better, if the artist had not thrown too much yellow into his colouring. Of the remaining pictures, the cle verest is No. 214, " Mary, Queen of Scots' Farewell to France," which shows the unhappy Queen looking fondly from the deck of her gal ' ley towards the fast receding shores of that land Ito which she was destined never again to return.
