F. FERGUSON CANIROUX, Sec. THE CIRDIAL BALM of SYRIACUM 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 tem, obstinate Meets, involuntary emissions, exe.-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 psrents 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. Constitutions relaxed, weak, or decayed, in men or women, are under the immediate influence of this restorative. Old coughs, a.:thinas, and consumptive habits are soon relieved, and speedily cure.l. Poverty of blood and emaciated limbs will, ere long, meet the happiest change . the chill, watery fluid will oecome rich and balsamic, and the limbs be covered with flesh, firm and beautiful, It is remarkable for its efficacy in all dis orders of the digestive organs, and is especially recommended to those who, from the irregularities of youthful age, habits of studious application, or a life of pleasure, have fallen into a despondent state of mind, and that distressing train of symp toms commonly denominated the nervous. 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.

FEAVEII'S INFALLIBLE EMBROCA TION, for GOUT, RHEUMATISM, &c., &c. Public attention is requested to the following Letter addressed by Thomas Schofield, Esq., to the Editor of the "Morning Chronicle":— As I am sure you will be happy to promulgate any thing that will benefit your fellow -creatures, I confidently send you the following statement of an extraordinary cure from a violent attack of that dreadful malady the Gout. which I have obtained by mere accident, feeling assured you will give it publicity in your widely-circulated paper. I was attacked with it‘for the thi , d time on Saturday night, the 31st of ,clay last, and suffered the most dreadful agony till the following Wednesday, when I war recommended to apply to a Mr. Feaver. woollen warehou• eman, Friday -street, Ch capsule, for a bottle of Embrocation for the Gout—a remedy discovered by his father, and by which, I was told, he had cured himself. At that moment my sufferings would have induced me to apply anything ; I therefore obtained a bottle of this Embrocation, for which I paid 6s. 6d., and applied it immediately ; and to my delight and astonishment, in one hour the intense pain ceased, in two days I could walk, and at the end of one week the gout had entirely left me. I have no doubt but for this remedy I should have had at least six weeks of suffering, as I had in former attacks. I am induced to take this step solely for the benefit of the thousands who are victims to this distressing disease (and for which, until now, it has been said there was no cure) that they may know why re to obtain the same relief. Of Mr. Fearer, the proprietor, I know nothing, having seen h'm but once, when I called to thank him for the benefit he had been tte means of conferring on me ; and finding he had never made this invaluable discovery publicly known, I resolved at once to make known my cure to you, and I trust through you to my fellow-sufferers. It is much to be regretted that Mr. Fearer does not imme diately publish it. It cannot fail to prove beneficial in a large degree to himself, while at the same time it would be con ferring a great blessing on thousands of our suffering brethren. However, I feel myself bound to give publicity to my own caFe in every possible way ; and I consider, by inserting this in your columns, you will he doing a much greater good than usually results from whole page , of matter cont-lined in some of our daily journals.

We regret to announce the demise of John Thomas Barber Beaumont, Esq., F.G.S., F.A.S., which took place at his restence in Regent-street IA ten minutes after four o'clock yesterday afternoon. Mr. Barber Beaumont was the founder, and for years the managing director of the County Fire-office and the Provident Life-office, a Ma;istrate of Middlesex, and a member of most of the learned and scientific societies. Ile was ever a staunch stlf port u- of liberal measures, active and inde fatigable in l:is duties as a Magistrate, and strenuous in his exertions to am liorate the condition of the working classes, in furilil r.:me of which object he had recently erected, at a cost of - nearly 20,0001., a splendid philoso phical institution in Beaumont-square, Mile-end, which will long remain a monument of his public spirit and en lightened mind. The demise of Mr. Beaumont, who was about 70 years of age, was rather sudden. On Wednes nesday last he spent nearly the whole of the day at the institution in arranging his cabinet of minerals, returning home in apparently his usual health about seven o'clock. On 'Thursday he complained of being poorly, and on Friday morning, although-it was not considered he had pissed a bad night, he was unable to leave his bed. Dr. Chambers was accordingly call 2d in in the course of the day, and we understand that, until a very short time of his breathing his last, no immediate danger was antici phted by his bereaved and inconsolable family. Mr. 13e:unont was in. the time of the war captain of the St. James's Royal Volunteers, and it was through his ex ertions that that parish was relieved from the evils of a select vestry. CIIURCH - HATE. — Preparations are making amongs; the Dissenters of St. George's St. Marv's, St. Michael's of Ci-lany, and many other parishes of this city, to resist the proceedings of the Archdeacon by all lawful means. We may safely assert that no Church rates will, her after, be made in these, and many other parishes of this city. To the end that they may be suc cessfully resisted, an Anti-Church-rate Association has been formed, and every possible resistance will be made to these demands. For this the Church-people have to thank themselves ; the Dissenters having o&red to enter into a voluntary subscription for the expenses of the Church services only to be insulted by the Church People, who will not give way one iota while th e y h ave the !aw on their side.—Norugch Mercury. The municipal council of Nantes has just voted the guaranteeing of a minimum interest of 4 per cent. on a capital of 1,500,000 f. for the Nantes and Orleans Railroad. FORD CONFIRMED. On Saturday morning the ship Tigris, Captain Sy mons; arrived in 'the - West India Import Dock from Co lombo, which place she left on the 20th :DeCeniber ; Cape of Good Hope, February 2s ; and St. lielePa, March 15. .In consequence of a report that Lord James Beresford, of the I.oth Hussars, had committed suicide. on board that vessel, being on his passage to. - . England, and which painful intelligence had not - reached his Lord,. ship's noble relations, and being therefore generally dis credited, inquiry was made on board the vessel on Satur day, and the report 'wtis found to be too true. It appears that Lord James Beresford, who was only in the 26th year of his age, emb ar ked p assenger on b oa rd the Tigns for England, and that it was remarked at the time, and at a subsequent period during the voyage, that his Lord sYp appeared to be labouring under slight symptoms of and that his servant was in consequence ordered to - pay more than usual care and attention to his Lordship, which he did. On the night or TueSday, Alr'd 27, his Lord ship was in • his own cabin, and did not evince to the servant or to the passengers during the day anything ;1 particularly remarkable in his usually somewhat eccen trio manners. The servant, before _going to lie down in his settee for the night, went to his Lordship's cabin for the purpos3 of inquiring whether: his Lordship needed any further attendance that evening, and having repeat edly knocked at his state-room door without receiving any answer, the servant opened it, and discovered the cabin floor partly covered with blood, and on proceeding to the water closet adjoining the apartment he found his master (Lord James Beresford) reclining over the seat, with his head nearly severed from his body, and quite dead. The rash act was committed with a razor, and so determined had been his Lordship to effect his dreadful purpose that only a small portion of skin at the back part of the neck attached the head to the body. The : alarm having been instantly given, the utmost consterna tion prevailed among the passengers (27 in number) and crew ; but any attempt to restore life was beyond the • power of human aid. Afteuonvltation by the officers • of' the ship and passengers, The mangled corpse of Lord James Beresford was, with great solemnity, consigned to a graVe in the abyss of the ocean. This lamentable event has created great grief and distress among the noble re latives of the deceased and the fashionable world gene rally. HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY. The first of the three fruit and flower shows for the present season, held in the gardens of this Society at Turnham-green, took ylace on Saturday. The fineness of the weather, the great number of fashionable people who are at this time of the year in town, and the high reputation of the Society, attracted altogether a more than usual number of visitors. It m a y b e said that the whole phalanx of rank and fashion now in the metropo lis was assembled. Amongst the number was his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge, who appeared to feel great interest in the exhibition of the fruits and flowers. By five o'clock the road from Hammersmith to the en trance of the grounds in the lane-at Turnham-green was almost impassable . ;- and had it 'not been for therexcellent arrangements'to keeporder; many acCidefits insist have occurred. The issue 'of 'the tickets amounted . to ;nearly eight thousand. . The gardens are in the most beatitiful order-indeed the turf is finer than it has been since first laid down, and the shrubs and flowens .in, ,the beds. and borders Are in equally healthy and splendid Order. The Company promenaded for:some hours ; and were; in ad dition to the pleasure produced 'by surveying the flowers Of the competitors for the medals, entertained 'by sthne excellently selected music, - overtures and quadrilles, 'by the bands of the Life Guards . , Bhies; and Coldstream Guards. The flowers and fruits were, as usual, arranged under the immense tents manufactured by Mr. B. Edgington, of the Borough. Indeed, these tents were of infinite ser vince in shading the company from the great heat of the sun, which at one period of the day was intense. The conservatory, which is now completely finished and stocked with some of the finest specimens of floriculture, became an object of great interest to the patrons of flori culture. It is built on the most improved principles of Modern science, and is a light and elegant structure. The most beautiful flowers exhibited were the varieties of azalias and geraniums ; the heartseases were also very fine. Indeed, nothing could surpass the brilliancy of colours, and the true shape and proportions of sonic of the classes. A great number of gold and silver medals were awarded by the judges to the successful candidates ; both Banksian and othei medals. Mr. Lawrence was, as Usual, _amongst the winners of the gold medals. It was not until seven o'clock that the - bulk of the company began to depart, and it was dark before the last visitor left the gardens. Taking this show altogether, both as to its splendour in horticultural produce; its elegance from the rank and beauty of the female nobility and gentry, and its aggregate of numbers, we do not remem ber ever to have Leen it surpassed. MR. BARNES. A great event has occurred this xreek in journalism, by the death of Mr. Barnes, the leading Editor of the Times. Mr. Barnes succeeded Dr. Stoddart in the edi torship of that paper, and by his extraordinary skill, discrimination, and powers of writing. raised that journal to its present power. Nor was the talent of Mr. Barnes confined to his own personal articles. He prescribed to other able writers their" piece -work," and, by his criti cal pen, he preserved the unity of political leaders. He was, unquestionably, the most accomplished and power ful political writer of the day, and particularly excelled in the portraiture of public men. He was the author of the sketch of Lord Brougham's character, in the autumn of 1839, when his Lordship was prematurely killed by the press. Mr. Barnes was the democratic influence on the Times. His loss, added to the recent death of the second editor, Mr. Bacon, draws the sting of the " lead ing journal." Mr. Murray, Mr. Barnes, and Mr. Bacon, now all dead, were the master-spirits of the paper. Mr. Barnes also was the gentleman in confidential communi cation with political leaders, and a scholar and man of letters experienced in parties. Scotsman. SUDDEN CLOSING OF THE LYCEUM. We regret to state that this pretty little theatre was suddenly closed on Saturday night. Some little delay having occurred after the performance of the Handsel Penny, the audience manifested its impatience in the usual way, which brought Mr. Balfe for ward, who ad dressed the house to the following effect Ladies and Gentlemen—Above two hours ago I received a note from Mr. John Barnett, whose pupil Miss Gould is, stating that he could not allow her to appear at this theatre any longer. She being the third who has tlvus left the establishment, I am really unable at Ibis moment to substitute anything for .11 Paddy Ifiback, as Nlarcelline cannot be played, neither Mr. Harris nor Mr. Selby being in the house. Had I known of this sooner, I would have put something ova r the bills to prevent your coming ; but if you will wait five or ten minutes, perhaps Mr. Harris will arrive. This is the last night of the ErgUsb Opera House, or at lerst of it under my reign. Cries of " so.") The fact is there arc not sufficient funds is the house, and I am ahead) , burthened with five or six hundred pounds debt through it. I have done all in my power for the establishment ; I brought my opera of licolanthe gratis, for which Madame Ves tris offered me three hundred guineas, if I would have it brought out at her theatre. I had another opera by Mr. Macfarrep, ready cast and studied, but I was not able to produce it in consequence of the secession of Mr. H. Phillip=.--(Cries of " Shame !") lam exceedingly sorry that I ever was such a fool as to become a mana ger to an English theatre—in that capacity I will never appear again before you, but in future only as a com poser." Mr. Balfe's address, the substance of which we have given above, was frequently interrupted by expressions of regret, cries of " Shame," &e. &c., and at its con clusion he was greeted with loud and continuous ap plause, which lasted for several minutes after he had retired. Such a termination to the speculation is deeply to be deplored, not only from the pecuniary loss sustained by Mr. Balfe, but from the serious injury which will accrue to the profession. The members thereof will have reason to regret their not having duly supported the inanager of the English Opera House. PRICE OF CORN AND PRICE OF WAGES. At the second great Liverpool meeting a working man of the name of Jones gave the evidence of his own Fa , l experience as to the pretended rise of wages with the the of corn : " A Member of Parliament Came down on purpose to make a speech to them. He told them the Bill was passed solely for their good.—(Laughter.) He said it was passed on purpose to raise their wages. It was in fal t works where he and his father worked, and they had IF. 83. per ton for making the salt. He remembered the first time their wages were raised under the opera tion of the Corn-laws ;they ware raised f rom I s. Bd. to Is. Gd. per tan.—(Laughter.) The, next time they were raised from Is. Gd. to Is. 4(1. This rise took place about 1830. In 1831 corn was 703., and work was very scarce, and their wages were again raised from ande thethe Is. 4J. to ls. 3d., all under the operation of the Corn lia-s.—( Laughter and applaus e .) This was not the had ytallowed himself d ay worked twenty hours (i e e mana se t to for de worst part of the !ra tter ; when they had I s .

Was there anything like slavery in this ? il fraerue7ssoef at the thebepatuetsiefuelt Corntime workin g lava, and at last he was obliged to leave the employ of the man, because of their starvation. And at this moment there were, wittin a few miles of this town, hundreds of men who were simi larly worked and similarly starved.—(Shame, shame.)" Let the Chartists profit by the experience of this mem ber of their class, but pot sharer in their folk. .. . ,_ , it? Illuits •;?„3sty-1(1 CHRONICLE.—The debate is again adjourned; and we venture to say that the Tories are by no means so eager for their majority as they were when the speech of Dr. Lushing ton, and the proceedings of the Anti-Slavery Committee, led them to believe that their hypocrisy would be successful. The Ministers who should dream of taking office on the back of a majority in favour of monopoly, would, in the presen: temper of the nation, prove themselves fit for a lunatic asylum. The budget has gone to the hearts of the people. They are ready to prove that the Ministry who have to rely on them, may command their fervent support in return. The people feel that they are fighting their own battle—that to desert the Mi nisters at this crisis would be treason to themselves. We know not, of course, what decision Ministers may come to with regard to the part they ought to take at this time. The feelings of the Tories leave no doubt as to what they think Ministers aught to do. The Tory barristers and other re tainers of the Opposition exclaim, " Surely Ministers will re sign." The resignation would delight them. They dread nothing so much as a dissolution, with the odium of corn, timber, and sugar monopolies to be encountered. Fas est ab hoste doceri. TIMES.—In one point of view the sugar duties debate is little calculated to raise the character of the British House of Commons. It is true, indeed, that few persons of any educa tion would form their estimate of the mental qualifications of that assembly from the sayings or doings of such ora . ors as Messrs. Hawes and Hume. But %hen a person so greatly lauded as Mr. Macaulay has been a follower in their train, it may be become a question whether even the general standing of the body of which these three gentlemen, thus united in one argument, and that a grossly illogical and fallacious one, form a part, is not seriously lowered by their joint absurditie:. We speak strongly, because we have been deeply im pressed with the foolishness and crlininality of these proceedings. A sort of key-note having been struck, a crowd of partisans, both in and out of Par liament, have joined in a general chorus in support of the monstrous and silly proposition that " two blacks make one white." To come to particulars. The Whig Administra tion, professing to be in all its main features identical with the. Cabinet of 1833, which framed and passed the Negro Emancipation Bill, now coolly comes forward with a scheme of finance, the purport and inevitable result of which mast be to undo all that was thereby done; and to render the 20,000,000/. of compensation-money given to the West Indian planters a dead loss to the county ! It follows naturally,that every honest and sincere opponent of slavery at once arrays hitrself against this proposition, although the croup of close-fisted Quakers and noisy Whigs who form the majority in the so-called Anti-Slavery Society proved yesterday how factious has been their agitation on the question, and hew completely and how readily the professed object of their union is sacrificed whenever a party purpose is to be served. This gross abandonment of principle, however, on the part of the small fry of the Society tends only to show forth in more advar.tageous contrast the conduct of the two leaders of the genuine Anti. Slavery party. Two firmer Whigs than ,Sir S. Lushington and Sir T. Fowell Buxton are no where to be found ; but their whole lives have been devoted to the cause of negro emancipation, and they cannot bring them selves to abandon, in a moment, all the labours of the past thirty years, and to aid in re-establishing the very evil which was, as far as possible, abolished in 1833. Their whole in fluence, therefore, is thrown into the adverse scale, and one of the ablest and most respectable Whigs in the House of Com mons has the credit of being denominated by the Downing street Journals, the maker , of " very silly speech !" STANDARD . .—Oontrary to all expectation, the de bate on Lord Sandon's resolution was; once more, even for the sixth time, adjourned last night. The Conser vatives attended in overwhelming force, and the ad journment was effected by, putting forward all the third and fourth rate men of the Ministerial party, all, in short, who could manage to articulate a few sentences, whatever they might be, and finally, , by an awfully long speech from the Chancellor of the Exchequer, a speech So lOng that, after giving many columns of an abridged report of it, the reporters are compelled to apologise for omitting " the peroration" on the ground that it was inaudible, the Right Honourable Gentleman, doubtless, having worn out his voice. The policy of this procrastination is obvious ; the Ministers are, as a last' chance, trying the effect of the " enormous lying" to which they owe so much, in getting up an agitation ;_ but even this last hope is failing them. Previously to the commencement of the resumed debate, Mr. W. Gladstone, seeing Lord Howick in his place, proceeded to remonstrate against the liberties which that Noble Lord had taken with the name and character of his (Mr. Gladstone's) father, that gentle 7 man not being a Member of the House, and no intima tion of the meditated attack having been given to any of those who might naturally be expected to render justice to its object. Mr. Gladstone reminded the Noble Lord that, eight years ago he, the same Noble Lord, had ut tered precisely the same calumnies—that they were then one and all refuted and retracted by the Noble Lord himself, and that a pledge was given by him never to bring forward any similar charges without apprising those who ought to be able to answer them, a pledge which it was plain he had forgotten, as he had forgotten what was due " to the feelings of those against whom his attack was directed." Mr. Gladstone then triumphantly exposed the groundlessness of the imputations of which his ab sent father had been the object, and pointed to the ab surdity of his allusion to the merits of the late Mr. Ma caulay, in contrast to the conduct of his son, which allusion was all praise, being made the pretext for slander upon an absent man. GLOBE.—The " plain tale" of the Chancellor of the Exchequer last night put down effectually all the self contrad'etory sophistry of the Opposition. The Right lion. Gentleman remarked, with much quiet effect, that "if by any possibility Mr. Huskisson could now look down upon those who called themselves his pupils, he would not feel very proud of them !" About as proud, we venture to suggest, as Mr. Pitt might have felt could he have heard the "glorious and immortal memory" of intolerance towards the Roman Catholics toasted along with his own tolerant memory by ''soi-disalit Pitt clubs. That Minister, who, by the testimony of his most confidential colleague, left office in 1801, because George 111. would not hear of Irish emancipation, or of " Scotch metaphysics," may be supposed to have felt not much prouder of his Anti- Emancipation adorers, than Mr. Huskisson of the claws who would now trick themselves out in his politico-economical plumage—Mr. Huskisson, whom the military chief of the present Opposition forced out of office for an insubordinate vote in favour of a partial reform I There is no mistake,—there can be no mis take about these pupils of Huskisson ! They have caught his mantle of liberal economy, as the Pittites that of Pitt's tolerance ! We recommend them straightway to institute a Huskisson Club, for the sup port of the Duke of Buckingham's doctrines on corn, and Lord Sandon's on sugar. The principle of Mr. Hus kisson, as the Chancellor of the Exchequer justly stated, was, that " if you wished to improve trade, you must ad mit some principle of competition ; and that the worst possible thing that you could do, and that which would in flict the greatest possible injury on commerce, was to bols ter and cocker it up in order to prevent any other party from competing." Mr. Huskisson, it may be said, did not abandon the principle of protection. Neither does the present Go vernment • but with him, as with them, freedom was the general rule, protection the practical limitation of that rule, in particular cases. With his pseudo-pupils, restriction is the rule, relaxation the exception—the for mer to be maintained as much, the latter allowed as little as possible. They accuse Ministers of attacking at once all the great interests of the country. This means that Ministers would remove those great interests from the footing of monopoly, and subject them to that competi tion which Mr. Huskisson deemed vital to improvement, and which the experience of his measures has proved to have been so, even in partial application. COURIER.—The Ministerial Press is in happy and heroic mood by turns. Whilst the Morning Advertiser loftily counsels its patrons to act the part of " Curtius," and cast themselves into the gulf (of dissolution) to " save" their country, the Morning Chronicle is deriving sweet solace from small sayings at certain hole and cor ner meetings recorded under a heading of the most con spicuous dimensions, to swell the apparent numbers and columns of which the reports of the meetings themselves are ingeniously published by instalments from day to day, or, as in the case of Bolton this morning, given in duplicate. In vain, however, all this paltry trickery in behalf of a drowning faction which. by trickery has alone existed so long ; the conscientious Journals may as soon hope to whip a storm in a teapot into a tornado, or set fire to an iceberg, as to coax the people of. England again into a political convulsion, which may.longer keep their unworthy employers where they are. Among other sources from which consolation is affected to be drawn, the Ministerial prints refer to the meeting of the British and Foreign Anti-Slavery Society held yesterday at Exeter-Hall. After carefully perusing the reports of proceedings, we can discover no ground on which to build so convenient a conclusion in their oWri favour. It is true that a few of the most furious partisans of the Government were present, and did not fail to vent, by fits and starts, a portion of their factious spleen, although reminded by their worthy Chairman that "the meeting had been convened for no political object whatever ; but their reception was any thing but flattering, and they could only obtain a fur ther hearing on condition of forbearance, or by the tole ration of a portion of the audience, against whom, when in turn they wished to be heard ; these very liberal tools of a Liberal Ministry called in the police to put them out of Court. TILE C R tsis.—The following from the Derby shire Chronicle is fair specimen of the spirit which animates the country Liberal Press at the present moment :—" Now or Never is the Time for Action !—We said that the great thaw had set in, and the icebergs of Toryism are splitting and rend ing in every direction with no very harmonious noise, while the voice of the country lifted up against the monopolist is, indeed, as the voice of many waters." The country has nobly responded to the appeal of the Ministers. East, west, north, an d ,ouch, meetings and petitions are being got up with a una nimity and alacrity unparalleled since the days of Reform, and while Lord John Russe ll is nightlystaving off the hostil e ru,ll of the Conservatives upon Downing street, day after day brings cheering notice of help at hand, hastening to the rescue. From 11th energy everything is to be hoped for. The aspect of the country on this important occa sion will impart new vigour to the champions of the people, and every successive petition confirms their resolution to dis s-ilve and not resign. Let the people remember that it is not the speeches ncr the votes of the Tories in the House of Commons that will influence Ministers, but the apathy or as sistance of the people. For them it is truly a tremendous crisis. If the Tories be this time conquered, they disap pear • for ever from the future political history of the country. fhe Liberals will have a hold of power which nothing can shake. They will be infinitely stronger than at any mo ment subsequent to the Reform Act. Cut away the Corn monopoly, and the sheet anchor of the Tories is gone." English. Scotch. , Irish.

The warp silk blond hands have made a faint attempt to raise their wages, but it has failed. This is truly la mentable, as that fine body of artizans are great sufferers. They should strike at the root of their distress—the baneful restrictions on the importation of _corn. The making of figured plat nets still continues, and is extend ing ; though the Jacquard is as yet very sparingly ap applied ; the, workmen, not aware of its amazing powers, prefer, for the present, the extra bar system. It is to be regretted that the patentees (if as their advertisement states, published some weekS since), mean to license that they do not declare the terms. We have been 'favOured With tlic.sight of some ex quisite patterns Sketehed by - Mr. Webster, drawing master of the Free .Grammar School, for the ornament ing of glove backs, in the French style of ornament, that is in coloured flowers ; nothing can be a greater contrast than these designs with . those which our cheviners have been so long in the habit of making, and the adhering to which have in many instsnces lost them their employment, as the light beauty and Mowing elegance of the finished drawing pattern upon comparison would command • a sale, when those orna mented by old system would be scarcely given away. It is but justice to Mr. 'Webster to say, that his de signs excel most of the French, we have seen, as they are so light as to seem a sort of flying bouquet, the artist having taken Nature as his guide, his teachers being flowery banks, hedge-rows,. mid wild products of our native fields. They have been, to the credit of our hosiery manufacturers, bought up with avidity for the purpose of being imitated by the cheviners, who, it is hoped, will exert themselves to the utmost in com pleting them ; for this purpose, they must wholly abandon the wale counting system, and insert their needle-work in the same manner as though the pattern was first printed or stamped on the . glove ; this may appear very difficult at first, but perseverance will soon enable them to overcome it. The French cheviners find little or no difficulty, and they ought not to des pair of doing what others can accomplish. The greater part of the London tambourers, though working the most difficult and complete patterns, have no stamp or guide but the eye, but practice enables them to do it with ease and facility. Even at the present time there are consi derable quantities done in Derbyshire upon the French principle, and they must exert themselVes or lose their employment. The bobbin net trade in some dpartments is very dull ; many of the hands, we are sorry to say, only work short time. The traverse warp branch has a little recovered ; but the pusher bran c h i s near ly ex tinct—all their hope is in the Jacquard, which is ex tremely expensive to apply. We have been credibly informed that the Jacquard is well at work at Cambray, in France, upon a principle for which the inventor has obtained a patent ; it is- applicable to the circular bolt machine—several machines are building. but they are much impeded in not being able to obtain implements from England ; every attempt to establish the making of good insides in France has hitherto failed. THE GHOST OF JUVENAL•STREET.—For some time past, more especially for the last ten days, much annoyance has been occasioned to the inhabitants of Juvenal-street, and the neighbourhood, owing to the immense Crowds of persons who nightly assemble there in consequence of a rumour that " some phantom of the other world" is in the habit of paying his or her (for the sex is doubtful) nocturnal visits to the house of a re spectable 'gentleman residing at No. 2, Juvenal-street. Several respectabk, inhabitants of the neighbourhood have assured us that most unusual noises are frequently heard in the house alluded to, although they smile at the idea of these noises being occasioned by supernatural agencies. A lady residing near, a person of education, and not likely to have her fancy led astray by a belief in supernatural beings, told us that the nuisance o ccas i o n e d by the ringing of bells in the house, without apparently anything to account for seuting them in motion, became so great, not only to the inhabitants of the house, but to the neighbours, that it was deemed necessary to take them all down, and they remain unhung at the present ti me . This unusual occurrence commenced about three months ago. After the bells were taken down, a greater nuisance occurred, owing to an minsal and unaccount able noise being heard . at intervals in the house, occa sioned by the sudden and simultaneous bursting open and banging to of the doors of the different rooms. No later than yesterday at noon, so great was the noise thus occasioned, that it might have been heard a hun Bred yards off, and the vibration was such as to cause the house to shake to such a degree as to attract the at tention of the police-officers (who have for some time been appointed to parade before the house), and persons in the street. These statements we had confirmed by several of the neighbours, and they may be depended upon as facts, let what will occasion the effects named. The police and others have investigated the matter, but no clue has yet been obtained to account for the unusual occurrence.—Liverpoo l J ourna l . The survey of the western provinces of India seems to have been nearly completed, and the definition of agricultural rights and boundaries, which was in cluded in the work, has roved of great benefit in re moving a fruitful source of litigation, as well as violence, and has, in consequence, greatly enhanced the value of landed property. The extension of this survey to the Benares district appears to have been a recent enlarge nient of the original plan. After the portion of the Azinghur district, which is beyond Benares, had been surveyed, dud the revenue had been settled, the collec tor proposed to the Government that they s hould con tinue the survey to Pergunnah of Secunderpore, not to make a new settlement of the revenue, but to obtain a clear definition of rights, and boundaries. The desired survey was effected, .and the benefits that resulted. were so obvious, that the western provinces. solicited an ex tension of the' plan to the whole of 'Benares. Lord Auckland readily sanctioned the-Scheme, which, after a few interruptions, arising from the disapproval of parties at homy, and the loss of some money, has been allowed to proc6xl, and is expected shortly to be completed. The gallant Commodore, Sir Charles Napier, K.C.8., has kindly promised to preside at the twenty. e i g h t h anniversary dinner of that truly deserving institution, the City of London School of Instruction and Industry, w hi c h takes place on the Ist of June next—a day glorious in the an nals of this coantry. LAW. . TO THE EDITOR - 017'TM; SU. '•• ; :•7\ SIR, I address you because Vow. Paper IS mi • in News-rooms here, and other . plarea where yelled, and is calculated to give more light than •sk others which appear like a star in compaffsoti • great orb of night. I have concluded, from the result • of the Nottingham election, that surely we must' have arrived at the summit of ignorance on the one hand, amd deception on the other. • When the Poor-law is con trasted with the Corn-law, the first does not affect above one in an hundred, while the other affects ninety-nine out of.e9ry hundred. Even admitting the Poor-law was bad, which I deny-though not perfect, I am sur,s- it is superior to the old law—indeed, in large toN'ms, the new law is very like the old law to them, so inticr , , so, that there required no alteration, where is the corn;a rison of the two questions ; and the model of the new law was found in Nottinghamshire under the ohl system. The aged, infirm, and deserving poor will find the supe riority of the new law, and idle, drunken, bad characters, who are the cause of more than one-half of pauperism, will find the new law too strict for them. OBJECTIONS TO THE NEW POOR-LAW. LARGE BASTILES.—EIegant, clean, well-regulated . buildings ; instead of low, filthy places, which would not keep out the rain, wind, or snow—all masters, and fighting continually, in some of the country places. SEPARATION OF MAN AND have been in a workhouse belonging to thirty-eight parishes. but there was not a couple there ; if there had been, they would, have been separate during the tiny, and together aL night, unless young people ; indeed it seldom happens a man and his wife to be paupers together. TOO MUCH EXPENSE WITH OFFICERS. --I believe they save the towns more by preventing imposters drawing from the fund, and especially law expenses about the right settlement of paupers, which is not so much dis puted, than is paid to all the officers put together ; and .; the Guardians are respectable, cost nothing, and meet in the morning in their sober senses, which, under the old law, was far from being the case, the business being done. at public-houses in the country. OBJECTIONS TO REPEAL OF THE CORN-LAWS. IT WILL LOWER WAGES.—If so , increase the price ; but when corn is low, wages are high ; and when high, wages are driven lower. IT WILL RUIN THE FARMERS.—DOeS the farmer eat bread ? If rents ere lowered as they have been raised,. it miiSt, benefit the whole community except the land owner ; in manufiicturing districts some farms are fiwor times the rent they were forty years ago. In country places we use three kinds of corn, viz oatmeal, tour ; and malt. If a Moderate fatnily, the corn avin cost ss. per week, 2s. of which may be used for clothing if the law is repealed, if not our population must continue in rags, and destitute of the common comforts of life, like many of the Welsh and Irish. Indeed, some of the Whigs here say, " if the Corn-law cannot be repealed without universal suffrage, which may be universal con fusion, we had better have it than universal starvation." Our population is increasing 1,000 per day ; our best land is covering with buildings and railways ; two-thirds of our population in some districts are not so well fed as in the workhouse ; our cottages are deserted, and hus bands seekin , r shelter in a foreign land, mid leaving their wife or children to the parish. One of our best cus tomers is in debt to us and cannot give us money ; but can give us corn, which we want far worse. Indeed, in America, Has. of best flour may be had for one shilling, and the same would cost us two shillings ; the carriage (which is a sufficient protection to our farmer) to Liver pool of a barrel is 2s. 6d., though: it weighs 1961b5. Butter and butchers' meat will be more within the reach of the poor man, for they . are double the price they were in the memory of some who are now living. Leaving you to make use of what you please, and when. you please, of the above, I am, &C. YOUR CONSTANT READER. Huddersfield, May 11, 1841. P.S. I believe we had one of the most unanimous and best meetings on the Corn-laws in this town, a short time ago, that ever there was in this large county. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE. (LLOYD'S.) .

In fact, so far as it went, the affair was as exact a parallel to that of the Maid of Kent as well Could be. By her dark utterances, "the people of the whole city," says Stow, " were wonderfully , molested, for that all men might hear the voice, b u t not see her The sounds were supposed to come froth nothing less than an angel. It turned out that Croft, " a wench about the age of e i g hteen," made th em with a peculiar kind of whistle, which sho h a d. got froth one Drakes ; among h e r other confederates were se veral parish clerks ; but the plot was nipped in th e ! m id, i before t had time to attract any higher patronage or coun tenance. On Sunday, the 15th of July, she WM brought guilty of. Strype relates that " she out at Paul's Cross, and placed upon a sca ff old erected for the purpose on the usual spot, where she stood all the d ee k n neeled down, and asked God mercy time of the sermon, and made open confession of the de ceptionw ep t bitterly, she had a n b and. the Queen, and bade all people beware of false teach ing; and said that promises were made her that she should have many good things given her, as though that h ce o s, was liv e dp inu t had been the cause that ind uced her to this deceit." tNoeidtehaetrhsh;e b h u e t rse o l i f, ie n o o r r any of he ra weaver, accomplices, m Golden-land , was a few days aft er set on the p i llory.— C. Knight's London. ATTEMPT OF A MOTHER TO DROWN FOUR CnrumENT.—During last week a woman, living at Sau verny, near Gex, on the frontier of Switzerland, who was then mother of five children, and, as believed, enciente with a sixth, left One of them with a neighbour, and took the rest with her to the banks of the river Versoix, and threw them all in. They were carried down by the current to a mill, but fortunately, the flood-gates being shut, they were stopped from being drawn by the full under the wheel. A young man, with admirable cou rage and humanity, plunged in, and brought three of the victims to land, while some women, who were washing in the river, succeeded in saving the fourth. Proper Inc ans were promptly taken, and they were all happily . restored. Meantime the mother disappeared, "and no intelligence of her could be learnt. Some apprehension of further disaster was entertained, as the eldest of the children, who is only eleven years old, has declared that she had utteredthtleredatosuboft _as entertainedburningthedownof h houses of her enemies. Little insanity. FROM THE MORNING - PATERS _OF SATURDAY. CHRONICLE.—Money is very scarce on the Stock Ex change, and much wanted, the rates given for short periods being folly 6 per cent. Consols for the Account are quoted a shade lower than yesterday, but busiress is limited; the clos ing price was 89i. to which was the only quotation through out the day. "In the House" to-day the business has been chiefly confined to the settlement of accounts in foreign seems r'ties. As some of the unitiated may, perhaps, throw a glance over this department of our columns, it is right to explain to them that the City folks, besid es the Solons of Guildhall, have " a House" of their own as well as the great dons in the West. When we speak of the latter it is usuall distinguished here by the proper appellation o f " P ar li ament ," or " the House of Commons,' for " the House," par excel lence, in the phraseology of Threadneedle -street, always means the :Stock Exchange. Well, .‘ in the House" to-day, the mem bers have been busy settling their accounts, and we suspect that some of them must have been rather sore at the low figure of Spanish Actives, which still hang fire, notwithstanding the Regency of Espartero, but they will, no doubt, move up a peg when people have time to think more about it, and know which of the rival companies now performing every evening in St. Stephen's chapel are to have the handling of the loaves and fishes. Speculation must be at a stand still until that affair is finally settled. TIMES —The business of the day in the Cunsol Market was of an unimportant character, and the fluidnations in price a mere shade above yesterday. Money was, however, in gene ral request both here and in the Foreign Stock Market, and 6 per cent. was paid for short periods on the deposit of Go varnment Securities, but it did not further arect the value of Exchequer Bills, which were finally quoted, at yesterday, 3s. tops. premium. fhe inquiry for money to assist the settlement of the half monthly account in the foreign securities would not have been much felt, the account itself being of limited character,. had it not been fur the gradual absorption of capital within the last few days in the English market, which, producing, as it has done, a comparative scarcity and a corresponding ad.ance in value, makes the fact more evident than when an easy state of things prevails. As in the Share Market yesterday, the incon venience, if any, was soon surmounted, but it tended to de press pri ear& The supply of hills on Ha :burgh having rather exceeded the demand, a consequent improvement took place in the rate of exchange on that place. Amsterdam was also rather bet ter, though in a more trifling degree. Paris may be considered the same as last post. At a meeting of the Joint-stock Banks. the country private bankers, and the representatives of the Scotch Banks, held a few days ago,- it was resolved that the meeting would co operate in resisting every attempt to interfere with a system of issues and circulation which they considered conducive to the public interest in their respective localities, and to the prosperity of the various banking establishments throughout the United empire.
