STRAYED CHILDREN AND INSANE PERSONS. am directed by the Poor-law Commissioners to 'eequest that you will call the early attention of the Board of Guardians, to which you act as Clerk, to the subject of the beans which the Commissioners have determined to ath,pt for erecting the restoration of strayed children, and insane per sons found wandering abroad, to their friends and relatives. After conferring with the Metropolitan Commissioners of Police, and the Commissioner of Police for the City of London, the Poor-law Commissioners have determined on issuing the order, of which three copies are herewith transmitted to you. You are requested to place one of those Copies in the hands of the Master of your Workhouse, and direct his attention to its provisions. The Commissioners of Police for the Metropolis and for the City of London, will respectively take care that all possible Publicity is given to the notices forwarded to them by affixing the same at the principal Police Stations, and the Poor-law Commissioners do Rot doubt that the Guardians will zealously co-operate in promoting the speedy restoration of children, and helpless persons, to their parents or friends. Independently of the obvious humanity of such a measure, the Peor-law Com missioners conceive that it will have a tendency to prevent the prolonged chargeability of parties found destitute under such circumstances. The need of some measure for this purpose is proved by the fact, that in the six months of the year 1840, from March to August inclusive, no less than 349 children were found by the Police and sent to different Workhouses within the Metro. ?<Allan Police district. It will be necessary that-the Master of the Workhouse and the Clerk to the Guardians should be furnished with a sufficient number uf printed notices in the proper form. The Commissioners will take care to give due publicity to this circular, and to their order, by advertisement in the public papers. I have the honour to be, Sir, your most obedient servant, EDWIN CHADWICK, Secretary. To the Clerk of the Board of Guardians of the— To the Guardians of the Poor of the several Unions and Pa rishes under a Board of Guardians named in the Schedule hereunto annexed.

FRANKS'S SPECIFIC SOLUTION OF COPAIBA. The different ingredients contained in FRANKS'S SPECIFIC SOLUTION OF COPAIB A, are those advised by the most practi cal and scientific in the profession, but, by a peculiar chemical pro cess so compounded that each drug greatly increases the efficacy of the other. . This invaluable Medicine is recommended in the public and pri. rate practice of SIR ASTLEY P. COOPER, Bart. F.R.S. SIR BENJAMINBRODIE, Bart , F.R.S. JOSEPH HENRY GREEN;Esq. F.R.S. BRANSBY B.

Members of the Council of the Royal College of Surgeons, London, and many other highly distinguished members of the medical profes sion, by whom it is deemed the only Specific for the cure of those diseases to which it is more immediately applicable. The testimony of these gentlemen cannot fail to convince every reflecting mind that FRANKS•S SPECIFIC SOLUTION OF COPAIBA is not only in every essential what it professes to he, but is considered a most valuable addition to these legitimate and adopted Medicines daily prescribed by the faculty.

In one instance only did it disagree with the stomacla ; but in this it seemed to depend rather on th e method of exhibition than on the re. medy itself, for, on diluting it with a larger quantity of watet,,the objection was at once obviated, and the p a tient got well in ten days from the time that he comm e n ce d taking the Medicine.

Persons, therefore, desirous of entering the Society, AS MEMBERS, on the sth of January next, should appear, or lodge their proposals at the Office on or before that day. So various are the plans now before the public f ° r effecting Assurance on Life, that it may, at first sight, seem difficult to make choice between them. As, however, all prudent offices make a considerably higher charge in the annual premium than experience has hitherto shown to be necessary, but differ in the mode of disposing of the surplus or profit, the following classification may be made _ _ Ist. Proprieta'ry Offices, where all the surplus from pre miums and other profits is divided exclusively amongst the Share or Stockholders. 2d. Offices where the same is divided in various proportions between Share and Stockholders and the assured. 3d. Offices of a strictly mutual character, where the whole of the profit is equitably distributed amongst the assured only. The Metropolitan, which is of the last class, was established in 1835, and although no paid agents for town or country have at any time been employed, nor any expensive system of adver tising resorted to, yet its advantages have been so well appre. ciated by the public, that the annual premiums already exceed 36,0001. In consequence of the prosperous state of the Society's af fairs, the annual premiums of members of five years' standing have been reduced forty per cent., and a confident expectation may be entertained of an increased rate of reduction at no dis tant period. A a plaa of the Society, with tables of rates, may be obtained on application at the Office. RICHARD HEATHFIELD, Superintendent. Princes-street, Bank, December 8, 1841, !TORS. IMPORTANT. —Many Persons after learning _IL that so many wonderful Cures have been effected by PARR'S LIFE PILLS, have a great desire to procure the Medicine which has done so much good. In doing this, how ever, caution must be observed, as certain individuals, without honour or honesty, are offering adangerous substitute instead of the genuine Medicine. The Proprietors cannot, of course, be accountable for any untoward results that may ensue to those who have been thus imposed upon, but they can point out an effectual means to prevent further imposition. Purchasers may be sure they have the genuine Medicine, if they find the words PARR'S LIFE PILLS engraved on the Government Stamp, in White Letters on a Red Ground. Ob serve, also, that the name of Mr. Edwards, 67, St. Paul's, London, is printed, as Wholesale Agent, en the directions which are wrapped round every box. Price ls. lid., 2s. 9d., and lls. each.

(Abridged from the Derby Reporter.) Monday last being the day fixed for the presentation of the Addresses to Lord Melbourne, a numerous party of gentlemen and tradesmen left Derby at eleven o'clock in the morning, in carriages and on horseback for Mel bourne Hall. The weather, on the whole, was tolerably favourable, though too severe to allow of some, who were desirous of Joining th e cava l ca d e, to attend the presenta tion ; as it was, however, there was a very numerous and highly respectable and influential deputation, and, we believe, far exceeded, in respect of numbers, his Lord ship s expectations. The deputation from Derby halted on the hill near the Sir Francis Burdett public-house on this side of Mel bourne, to await the procession from that place. which shortly afterwards arrived, headed by Samuel Robinson, Esq., and other gentlemen and inhabitants on horseback and on foot, and proceeded by bands of music and ban ners. The Derby party fell into the ranks, and the whole then proceeded to Melbourne. As the procession ap proached Lord Melbourne, accompanied by the Hon. W. Cowper, drove to the place selected for the presenta tion in his carriage, and as the different parties took their stations, acknowledged their greeting very cheer fully. Dr. FORESTER then presented the address from the borough of Derby, and Mr. 'Limns that from Mel bourne, to which his Lordship made the following reply : Gentlemen—Both to you who have done me the great honour to come hither from the enlightened and opulent town of Derby, and to you who are my immediate neigh bours and friends in this place and in its vicinity, I am anxious to express the deep sense of satisfaction with which I receive this testimony of your confidence and approbation. It is very natural that you should revert to, and I have great gratification in remembering, the autumn of the year 1834, when I had the honour of re ceiving you, in this very place, upon a similar occasion. Some of those who now stand before me were then pre sent; and they will probably recollect that I took the liberty of pressing upon them the necessity of union and concord, and of warning them that, considering the na tural strength, and the compact array of the adversary, there was no hope of success except in combined and unanimous exertion.—(Loud cries of " Hear, hear.") — Those sentiments were, as I flattered myself, received at that time with concurrence and approbation. They were more than approved. They were adopted and acted upon, and the usual consequence of success ensued. —(Cheers.) Since that time, in other parts of the country, discords and differences of opinion have arisen, which have also been followed by their natural and ne cessary consequences, defeat and failure.—(Hear, hear.) It gives me, therefore, great satisfaction to find that in your address you repeat and confirm that opinion, by stating that "in a free and enlightened nation the firm and united voice of the people, when constitutionally directed to just and legitimate objects, cannot long be re sisted." You are right, Gentlemen. Union alone is ir resistible, and union can only be ensured by the choice of defined objects, not doubtful, speculative, and hazard ous, but dictated by reason, approved by experience, and of a practicable character.—(Hear, and cheers.) I have the more pleasure in referring to that former pe riod, because I have to render you the justice of declaring that you have acted entirely up to the principles which you then professed. Whether we have done our duty or not, you have done yours. In the exercises of your rights and franchises you have given to the Government which you approved a steady, firm, unvarying support, and I cannot refrain from observing that if the same consistent line of conduct had been pursued by other constituencies, the result of the late political contest would have been different from that which has taken place.—(Loud cheers.) Both the addresses contain expressions of kindly feel ings towards myself personally, by which I am sensibly touched. More than seven years have now elapsed since that month of November, 1834, to which I have already so often recurred, and the progress of time has brought upon me, what it must bring upon all, im paired strength, less buoyant spirits, and diminished powers of exertion. The consciousness of this decline naturally renders me less ambitious of undertaking a post of so much labour, such heavy responsibility, and such unceasing anxiety as that which I have lately held; but the deep debt of gratitude which I owe to my Sove reign and my country will not permit me to withdraw myself from their service, nor to refuse any task which may appear likely to conduce to their interest and wel fare.—(Loud cheers.) The great questions relating to the commerce and revenue ef the country, which were in appearance the causes of the dissolution of of the late Ministry remain yet to be determined. The financial difficulties of the State have not been the work of this or of that Administration; they have been foreseen, or rather they have existed, ever since, and indeed long before, the termination of the great war with France in 1815, and they are the consequence of a long series of events, of which it is vain now to inquire, ex cept as a lesson for the future, whether they could have been avoided or prevented. The state of trade, foreign and domestic, and the severe distress which prevails in many of the manufacturing districts, although I should lenient that they should be exaggerated for political purposes, and employ e d as grounds ,and reasons for political change, yet imperiously demand the most se rious and immediate attention of the Government and the Legislature.--(Loud cries of " Hear, hear.") It was our opinion that the measures which we proposed, and which you have enumerated, were calculated at once to supply the pecuniary deficiency and to relieve the commercial embarrassment. We proposed them in good faith—(Cheers)—and for my own part with the expec tation that the greater portion of them would have re ceived the sanction of Parliament. They were opposed entirely. A distinct declaration of want of confidence in the Administration was carried in the House of Commons. We advised an appeal to the people, which was made, and has been decided against us. It will now be for her Majesty's present advisers to bring forward upon their part such plans as they may think better suited to the circumstances of the times. And it will be for your representatives to consider those plans with reference to, andiin comparison with, the measures which we submitted to the last Parliament. I can only say that for myself they shall receive a full and fair con sideration, and that, as far as in me lies, I will do to others that justice which I hold to have been denied to me and my colleagues, and in being denied to us, to have also been denied to the country.—(Loud cheers.) Three cheers for the Queen,' and three cheers for " Lord Melbourne and Reform," having been given, his Lordship accompanied by the deputation proceeded to the hall, where upwards of 200 gentlemen partook of a sumptuous dejeune a la fourchette ; after which they took leave of his Lordship, who, during the whole pro ceedings, behaved with the greatest affability towards all. We calculate the number present during the presenta tion at between one and two thousand. The press cannot accept this position. Writers who take part in daily discussions owe to their country and to themselves to resist, by every legal means, this new system of intimidation. They will resist. " Since the last elections every ➢Ministry, with the ex ception of the existing one, have engaged to reform the laws of September. The public wish calls for a change proportioned to the extent of the evil. We shall pursue it. " The Ministry may continue the desperate struggle in which it is at present engaged with all the forces of power—the press will not recoil before the chances of the combat. whatever these may be. Right and modera tion are and will remain upon our side—we will fulfil a mission, the severity as well as the greatness of whick we fully recognise —we will go to the uttermost limits, for we have confidence in our cause as well as in tho energy of public spirit. Whenever power has declared deadly war against, it is not the press which has perished. " In circumstances so solemn and so critical, it has ap peared to us necessary to make known to the public, whose suffrage sustains us, and whose sentiments we be .. lieve we represent, that osr faith in the great principles we defend is not shaken. " We declare then— " With the Charter, that 'the French have the right to publish and to print their opinions, conforming them selves to the laws ;' " With the Article 69 of the same Charter, that ' the judging of offences of the press belongs exclusively to the Jury ;' " With the Constitution of 1791, that no man can bo pursued by reason of the writings which he has published, unless he has designedly provoked disobedience to the laws. " With the Article 202 of the Penal Code, that pro vocation, to be made a crime or an offence, must be direct,' and not the result of a connection, more or less arbitrary, between a fact and the writings which have preceded or accompanied this fact. " With the Article 60 of the Penal Code, that there cannot exist complicity where there is no knowledge of a plot. " With MM. Royer Collard, Odilon Barrot, Lamar tine, Berryer, Dufaure, and Dupin, that it is not wise to give judicial attributes to a political body, and that, in making the Chamber of Peers a Court for judging the press, its sincer:ty has been compromised, as well as the force of our opinions. " With citizens of all opinions, that the degree of liberty at which a people has arrived may be judged by the degree of liberty which its press enjoys, and that in this respect France, since 1830, has positively retrog ra d e d. " In fine, that this is a point on which all can agree— writers, electors, deputies, and citizens of every class. It is a duty to refuse concurrence to the policy of any Administration which will not repair the attempts made against public rights by the laws of September, as well as by the last decree of the Court of Peers. "In presence of this situation, we appeal to the Chamber of Deputies—we hope that it will rise to the duty which circumstances impose upon it. " And if, contrary to all•expectation, it fails to do its duty, we shall appeal to the electoral body which is in vested with political rights, well convinced that it will not forget the 66th article of the same Charter which which has confided the rights of the press, as well as all other rights consecrated by the Charter to the patriotism and courage of the National Guards and of all French citizens. About a fortnight ago, a farmer of Montredgar, in the Loire, whether out of a joke, or with an intent to steal, cannot be known, took away the horse of a neigh bour, named Desremont3, from the door of a public house, where its master was drinking. Being informed of what had taken place, Desremonts sallied forth in pursuit, and was soon perceived by him who had got the horse. The latter left the beast, and ran off, but was overtaken by his pursuer, with a knife in his hand, and was struck down with a severe wound. Recovering himself, he again ran off, followed by Desremonts, re peatedly :plunging the knife into his victim's loins, and having once more got him down, buried the weapon in the poor man's bowels, and left him dead. Taking his horse, Desremonts returned to the public-house, and, showing his bloody hands, boasted of what he Lad done, then paid his score, rode home, went to bed, and slept soundly till morn ing. A little reflection, however, induced him to set his af fairs in order, and leave the house. Gendarmes have been ten days in search of him, without finding him. The Journal de Saint Etienne, from which we take the ac count, observes that all the acquaintances of the brutal murderer still speak of him as a brave homme.

The following is the important Declaration of the French Press against the conviction and sentence of AI Dupoty. The Journals have published a declaration against the conviction and sentence of M. Dupoty of a most energetic character, which will be found subjoined. This declara tion has excited a great sensation in Paris : " The press never, at any period, has shown more re spect for legal order —never was it exposed to such bitter persecution. Violent and immoral circulars have given the signal to the l aw officers, forgettin g t h at political considerations should never inspire justice. Innumerable processes have been tried against papers of every shade of opinion. Eight Journals were in one day seized in Paris, on pretence of public order ; that is to say, with out the least presumption of offence. Public writers and gerants were arrested on presumption. Many were dragged along the road chained by the neck, before Judges who declared them not guilty. It required all the firmness of a Jury to hold this re-action in check, whose audacity was unbridled. " The press had been already attacked in its security and in its rights. It was sought to strike it more di rectly in the per; on of individuals, in order, without doubt, to accomplish this expression of M. Guizot on the discussion of the laws of September, 1835—` We desire not to punish, not to amelior a te, b u t t o suppress, nay, to annihilate, the DAD press.' " A political writer, and with him a journal, have beenn, implicated in the process against the authors and accom plices of the attempt committed Sept. 13, 1841. Had M. Dupoty conspired not one of the undersigned journals would have raised a voice in his favour. Conspirators against the laws deserve to be punished by the laws. M. Dupoty has been accused by the Procurenr-General, not of complicity direct and positive, but of a moral com plicity, and for a political tendency, rather than for a crime or an offence. lie has been condemned by the Court of Peers as guilty of a provocation followed by an effect (provocation suivie d'effct), although the Court had not recognised any personal relation between M. Dupoty and the authors of the attempt, and although it is im: possible to find any relation between the article published the 12th of September, by the Journal du Peuple, and the sinister event of the following day. "We respect the principle of a thing judged. We know that no right exists of protesting against the de crees of a tribunal, even when one is convinced of that tribunal having fallen into error. But it will be per mitted us to point out a result which rises into the pro. portions of a public grievance. In a State in which the citizens make a part of the Government, a judicial fact like that which now afflicts and excites even the Minis terial press, ought to alarm society. " The decree of the Court of Peers is not confined to the striking down of a political writer—it presses upon the very liberty of discussion itself. The jurisprudence that this Act tends to establish goes even far beyond the laWs of September ; it is still more menacing, and one more arbitrary has never been so formally stamped with legality. "In order that the laws of September may bti'made applicable to any writer, book, or journal, it is essential that the writer should have so directly excited to the assassination of the person of the King, or to the over turning of the power of the laws, that such provocation, even without having produced an effect, should consti tute in itself an actual offence. The writer thus knows what he did, and to what risks he exposed his honour and his life. But by the interpretation given by the Court of Peers of the law of 1819, every hostile word contemporaneous with a political disturbance, a conspi racy, or an overt act, will be sufficient to constitute com plicity in such acts, and to bring upon the writer penal. ties such as detention, transportation, hard labour, and even death. The feeling of the times in which we live rises up in horror at the bare thought. "The jurisprudence which flows f:om the decree of the Court of Peers aggravates the alreaey flagrant in conveniences of this jurisdiction. It is, moreover, a mo tive for demanding that the competence of the peerage may be defined and limited in criminal matters and in political offences; but until this shall have been done, it is another danger created for the press and the country. Public writers are deprived of those guarantees which are a natural right in every civilised community, and which the Revolution of July had promised, and the Charter, had consecrated. The entire press is placed in a permanent state of restraint. The accusation of moral complicity is suspended over the head s o f a ll writers. It is the law of suspicion that is established against them. LONDON, WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 29, 1841. ROYAL POLYTECHNIC INSTITU TION, REGENT-STREET.—MORNINGS and EVENINGS except SA't URDAY EVENINGS.

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 hiighly in teresting cases. The book, as has been already state-e, 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 be en 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 convinced by feeling that tact in in vestigating the latent sources of many diseases, which arise from certain secret praetices, can only be acquired b y 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 appea , ances of consumption, which, however, when traced to thetir source, are found to result from certain baneful practices, fidly 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 bock 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 scare 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 parerat, will, by perusing this work, be directed and very much assisted in investigating and detecting the too oft en 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 jud ge, when delicacy of health should appear to attack any o f h is 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 habite to which youth is addicted ; he will also be enabled to point oat the dis astrous consequences which are sure to follow from them if not relinquished. rtlessrs.

Solomons' newly-invented Spectacle Lenses ; the astonishing relief they afford to imperfect vision gives them the decided preference to every other kind of Lens —the clearness of the transparency brings every object very distinct, and enables individuals to view the most minute par tide with perfect accuracy. They are particularly pleasant by candle light, as they appear cooling to the sight, and soften bright and brilliant lights : James Blundell, Esq., M.D., 1, Great George-street, West minster.

MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS, rnom THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY. TIMES.—The premium on gold at Paris is 6 per mille, which, at the English Mint price of 31. 17s. 10Id. per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 25.30, and exchange at Paris on London at short being 25.47-.l t , it follows that gold is 0.70 per cent. dearer in London than in Paris. By ad vices from Hamhurgh the price of gold is 428 per mark, which, et the English Mint price of 3/. 17s. 10:Vd. per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 13.61, and the exchange at Hamburgh on London at short being 13.8, it follows that gold is 0.69 per cent. dearer in London than in Humburgh. The President's Message, as far as the Stock Ex change was concerned, was net favourably received, and the part which embraces the topic of the " right of search," in connexion with the slave trade, was thought to be of such menacing character that the value of our Government securities, which had, before the publish ing of this document, been buoyant and on the ad vance, relapsed about one quarter per cent., and left off heavy. The only operation of magnitude we heard of, to induce such a feeling in the market, was a sale of 50,0001. by the Bank broker. The financial part of President Tyler's Message is couched in the same cautious language which has from the first distinguished his Government ; there is the design of establishing a fiscal agent that shall be something less than a national bank, commonly so called, and something more than a mere sub-trea sury. The " separation of the purse from the sword" on the one hand, and the prohibition of operations on the part of the bank-agencies, without the consent of the States, on the other, are severally designed to offer some concession to the two leading parties. The es tablishment of a Board of Control for the sake of keeping the public monies would not be, we apprehend, the serious point of discussion, and the question of the issue of Treasury notes may rather be one of amount than principle. The receipt of individual deposits in bullion could hardly be refused, as it would seam unfair to deny the public the use of so unquestionable a place of security as the vaults of this federal institution, though even here Mr. Tyler would limit the power to prevent a sudden withdrawing of the deposits from the State banks, to the manifest damage of the latter. The most debateable matter appears to be the right of purchasing and selling domestic bills and draughts, and many questions may arise how far this right may be limited to distinguish this new agent from an ordinary " Bank of the United States." All discussion on this subject in its present state is indeed premature, but it is important to know that there will really be a fiscal plan emanating from the Exe cutive, and that the veto will not be the means of deciding the fate of the next agent. If there be any holders of American securities who are so blind as to entertain a notion that. the federal tiovernment will guarantee the State debts, they will do well to observe Mr. Tyler's remark, that "for the debts con tracted the States alone are responsible." Indeed, such a guarantee the holders cannot expect, nor have they indeed a right to require it. HERALD.—The old established and respectable banks of Dorrien, Magens, and Co., and Curries have issued circulars conjointly to their customers and con nections announcing the consolidation or fusion of the two banks into one for the future, under the firm of Curries and Co., to commence from the 31st instant, and to be carried on at the more convenient premises of Curries' bank in Cornhill. The demise of Mr. Thomas Dorrien, a partner in the first-named bank, led, as the circular states, to changes in the firm which tended to bring about this union. SUN.—The arrival of the Independence with the Pre sident's Message, caused, in addition to the receipt of the Speech of the King of the French, some bustle in the City this afternoon. Both of these State documents were looked upon as of a pacific tendency, making due allow ance for the national tone and vigour which they must usually preserve when touching upon foreign relations, in order to give satisfaction to the citizens of the coun tries to which they are addressed. The Stock Market was rather neglected this afternoon, and closed with a slight degree of heaviness. For the opening Consols realised 891, leaving off at 881. Exchequer Bills were marked 11s. to 14s. premium. Reduced Three-and-a half per Cents. 981 to 99, and Three per Cent. An nuities 89. Bank Stock was fi rm , a t 1651 to 165 x. The Foreign Securities were very little dealt in, and did not improve in value. They closed in fact 'a shade below the opening rates. Spanish Actives at 231 to 24; Portuguese New at 32 7 6 ; Colombian at 201; Dutch New Five per Cents. at 97: 1 ,, and Danish at 8 1. Shares have not lost their elasticity. The following are the official Returns of the exports of bullion from the Port of Loudon for the week ending Thursday last:— Silver Coin to Hamburg!' Rotterdam 15,000 Silver Bars to Ditto DEATH OF MR. WEST, M.P. FOR DUBLIN. DUnLIN, DEC. 27.—A general sensation was caused this morning throughout the city by the intelligence of the death of John Beatty West, Esq., Queen's Counsel, and one of the representatives for Dublin. The melan choly event took place at five o'clock this morning, at Mount Anvilla, near this city, the residence of fudge Burton, the father-in-law of Mr. West. Since the last general election in July, when Mr. West, with Mr. Gro gan, was returned for this city, after one of the most formidable contests on record, the deceased gentleman never fully recovered from the effects of the fatigue and exhaustion he had suffered on that occasion. The pas ing over of the paramount claims of Mr. West, when Mr. Warren obtained the vacant Sergeantcy, might also have had considerable effect upon a constitution debilitated by illness. • In all the relations of private life Mr. West was beloved for his kindness, amiability, and generosity of disposition; and many an elector voted against him with reluctance, and not a few abstained from voting on account of his private virtues as a neighbour and a citizen. Mr. West went with his party as a Tory, but he never degraded himself by the disgusting intolerance which so generally characterises the ruling faction in this country. Mr. West had acquired considerable landed property, and he also succeeded in forming a very splendid collec tion of paintings. But his immense expenditure at con tested elections must, no doubt, have considerably dimi nished his fortune. The general topic in political circles to-day relates to the candidates at the election to fill the vacancy caused by the death of Mr. West. The Tories speak of start ing Sir Edward Borough, or Mr. Smith, Q.C. But the former is the new Sheriff of this city, and he should re sign, in case he consented to come forward. _ - A very strong feeling prevails amongst the Reformers of all shades, that Lord Morpeth (now in the United States) should be put forward. I believe there is no doubt whatever that his Lordship would be retarned by a large majority. EXPLOSION OF GUNPOWDER.- THREE LIVES LOST. BRISTOL, TUESDAY.—An accident, attended with ♦ery serious consequences, occurred yesterday on the line of the Bristol and Gloucester Railway, about two miles from \Vickwar, fifteen miles from this city, from an explosion of gunpowder. Three unfortunate men were blown to pieces, and killed on the spot ; and five other persons, being all who were in the immediate neighbourhood at the time, were severely burned, and otherwise injured. These five are now lying in our infirmary, and one of them has an eye blown out, and is otherwise so dread fully burned that he cannot recover. The unfortunate men were all engaged on the railway, and the names of those who are killed are Matthew Ste phens, James Bennett, and another, name unknown. The names of those now in the infirmary are—Thomas White, one eye out, and dreadfully burned ; Lewis, Crew, Henry Williams (blacksmith), George Collins all very badly burned and bruised ; and John Hodges, much burned in the face and legs, but not so much as the others. From the circumstance of all those who were present being too much injured to be able to give evidence, the inquest cannot yet be held, but I have gathered the following particulars of the catastrophe:— The spot where it occurred is about two miles from the town of Wickwar, and the men were engaged in the formation of a tunnel. On Saturday a barrel containing half a hundred weight of gunpowder, intended to be used in blowing up the rocks, in order to form the tunnel, was taken and deposited for safety in a shed situated at the mouth of the tunnel, and sometimes used as a black smith's shop. Yesterday the blacksmith was ordered to go to " sharpen" the men's tools, and whilst so engaged a spark of fire flew from the anvil and ignited the powder, which, of course instantly exploded, and the poor men were blown in all directions; the explosion shattering the smithy, a place called the Milbring, and a part of the tunnel, and causing the greatest sensation in the whole of the surrounding hamlets to the distance of six or seven miles; the explosion being distinctly heard in all of them to that distance. For some time nothing could exceed the alarm of the inhabitants, who, being entirely unaware of the cause of the frightful explosion, would not believe but that it was occasioned by the shock of an earth• quake. At length, however, the cause of the fatal catas trophe was ascertained, and spread considerable dismay in the minds of all those persons who had relations work ing on the railway. The scattered remains of the bodies of the men who were killed were gathered together to await the result of a Coroner's inquest, a n d the wounded men were conveyed to the Bristol Infi rmary, where four of them are now lying in a very dangerous state. THE LORD NELSON. — This vessel still lies on Billsbank, and we understand that, should the weather continue calm, there are hopes entertained of getting her off. The bodies of the captain, mate, and one of the seamen were found in the beginning of the week, close to the vessel, from which in all probability they had been washed during the fatal night. That of Maearnochan is still missing, —Carlisle Journal. DIRE , DRURY-LANE THEATRE. Mrs. Inchbald's amusing comedy of Every one has his Fink, was produced at this theatre last evening, Macready sustaining the part of Harmony. This is quite a new line for Macready, and although the benevolent old gentleman of Comedy does not afford the same scope for the exhibition of histrionic talent as the higher range of characters in which we have hitherto been accustomed to see him, yet, even in characters such as these there are laurels to be gathered, there are points to be illustrated by study, there are conventionalisms to be got rid of, there is a mine of feeling and pathos to be worked, and therefore we were glad to see Macready an nounced for the character. As might be expected, his Harmony is perfectly different from that of his regular comic predecessors. He has laid aside all stage tradi tion, has studied the character as though it were a new one, and has, as might have been expected, completely succeeded. His Harmony is a quiet graceful piece of acting, in perfect keeping from the first scene to the last. We were glad to see Macready announced for this cha racter, for another reason --it proved to us that the love of his art was with him paramount to every selfish con sideration—the comedy w as to b e pro d uce d — i t would add materially to its efficiency and completeness as a whole if he were to take the part of the benevolent old man. and he does so at once, without standing on any of that absurd punctilio with which we have in some actors been before now. disgusted. After the example that he has thus wisely set, we trust we shall hear no more about actors refusing parts on the score of dignity. Mr. Hud son, the gentleman who, on Monday, appeared as Gra tiano, was the Sir Robert Ramble; the eccentric Baronet has often met with a much worse representative. Mr. Hudson is an effervescing bustling actor, with a good voice, distinct enunciation, and agreeable and gentlemanly manners, and is well adapted to take a lead as a principal light comedian. The comedy was strongly cast. Compton was Solus, and the eccentric old bachelor lost none of his oddity in Compton's hands. Keeley and his wife, as Mr. and Mrs. Placid, were first rate. Those who recollect him last year in the cognate character of "Dolly" Spanker, in London Assurance, will easily understand that nothing could be better. An derson was Captain Irwin, and Mrs. Warner Lady Eleanor—both excellent ; and little Miss Vining. as Edward, their son, was touchingly pathetic. In the scene in which Edward voluntarily sacrifices Lord Norlaud's friendship, and quits his Lordship's house to accompany his mother in poverty and wretchedness, the tears of the audience bore witness to the beautifully pathetic acting of this very clever child. The comedy was well got up in every respect, and the applause was unanimous at its conclusion. Macready was called for when the curtain fell, and on his appearance, was received with all the honours. The new pantomime followed. The house was, we are happy to say crowded. On Monday night a gentleman took his &ace in a first-class carriage in the London and Birmingham Railway train to proceed to Manchester. On arriving at the latter place he discovered that, in his journey thi ther, his pocket-book, which contained Bank of England notes to the amount of 950/, had most mysteriously dis appeared. The following is a description of the num bars and dates of the dotes, viz. :—a 500/ note, No. 5,337, dated Sept. 2. 1841 ; a 3001. note, No. 498.845, Feb. 3, 1841 ; a 1001. note, No. 81,846, dated Feb. 6, 1841 ; and a 50/. note, No. 19,806, dated Oct. 6, 1841. DUEL ON FOOT.—At Natchez, at the latest advices, a duel between Judge Tenney and N. C. Row• ley, :Esq., was in train of preparation. It was to take place on the 6th inst., on the Arkansas shore, opposite to Princetown. Each of the principals was to be armed with a rifle, a pair of duelling pistols, and a bowie knife. The rifles to be discharged at thirty paces distance, then to advance at pleasure to the fall of one or both. The cause of the duel is said to be a decision of Judge Tenney, at the last Circuit Court in Concordia, affecting Rowley's property. Quite an improvement on the usual tardy course of appeal. Should the Judge receive a rifle ball through the heart, we presume it will beheld that his decision was wrong, and ought to be set aside. On the other hand, should his Honour succeed in plunging a bowie knife fist deep into the thorax of Mr. Rowley, then the law of the Judge will stand as good, and the equity of his decision be unquestioned.—Guiana Gazette. /1
