This Work, a Seventh Edition of which is now presented to the public, ten thousand copies have been exhausted since its first appearance, has been very much improved and enlarged by the addition of a more extended and clear detail of general principles, as also by the insertion of several new and highly in teresting cases. The book, as has been already stated, is the result of very ample and daily increasing experience in a class of diseases, which, for some unaccountable reason, have been either altogether overlooked, or treated almost with indiffer ence, by the ordinary medical practitioner. The proverbial and well known rapacity of unqualified practitioners, who traffic en the health and credulity of patients, has been en couraged and aroused by this supineness, on the part of the regular surgeon. In order to obviate the pernicious effects sure to result from the practices of such pretenders, the authors have for 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 disease 3, which arise from certain sestet praetices, can only be acquired by an ex clusive and undivided attention to this department of medical p r actice. The numberl o e w ss ev i e n f s , tan w c heens daily occurring , d is tnowhere to eh i v se h,.t more, r r o s e i re n e, affections of the lun g s, p uttin g on all the outer appea rances o f o r cons umption, which, h ar e found to resul t from certain bane ful practices, f u lly proves th a t the principle o f the division of Labour, applicable than medica lo member e p m ra be ct r ic e e. f v socieetyfebely whom nohesitthaetiobnooink saying that t here is n will not be found useful, whether such person hold the relation beholds his beloved child • The PARENT, who pining premature • approaching to a grave, in conse of a Parent, a Preceptor, or a Clergyman. away, and fast been set d own to the score of con tion of its real cause, has . queries of some disease, which, for want of careful investiga sumption, will, on cases of young persons of both that in nine-tenths of the perusing this work, be astonished to find, consumption, and exclusive origin has heart disease, tabes, &c., the sole tive habits practised by sexes, who perish of what is called p ulmonary been the indulgence in certain destruc tive you holds (temporarily at The PRECEPTOR, also, who responsibility of a parent, will, youth much more frequently than it is at all suspected. least), the relation and i and very much by perusing this work, be directe d thev assisted in investigating. and detecting the t oo often hereh con cealed practices so often introduced into schools, w hereby health and ultim a t e ly the lives of his pupils are sure to be cons promised„unless the evil be arrested in proper time.He will here find a clue to guide him through the intrica t e ozes of m this moral labyrinth, and a standard whereby to judge, when delicacy of health should appear to attack any of his young charges, what the real causes of such attack may be, and thus he will be enabled to check the evil in its incipient state.

TAXATION AND REPRESENTATION.-Pre vious to his descent on England, William the Conqueror assembled a council of his nearest friends, to demand their advice and assistance. They all approved of the expedition, aad promised to serve William with their persons and goods. " But," said they, "this is not all— you must ask assistance and counsel of the great body of the people of the country ; for it is but right that those who pay the expense should be called to consent to it." Then *William, say the chroniclers, convoked a great as sembly of men of all classes in Normandy, laid before them his project, and solicited their assistance—then left them, that they might deliberate freely. We per ceive by this that even se early as the days of the Con queror, people had got hold of the notion that " taxation and representation should go together ;" or, to express it in the language of those days, that "it is but right those who pay th e expense should be called to consent i to t." VOCAL MACHINERY OF BfRDS.—It is diffi cult to account for so small a creature as a bird making a tone as loud as some animals a thousand times its size ; but a recent discovery has shown, that in birds the lungs have several Openings communicating with correspond ing_ air-bags or ce ll s , w hi ch f i ll the whole cavity of the body from the neck downwards, and into which the air passes and re-passes in the progress of breathing. This is not all : the very bones are hollow, from which air pipes are conveyed to the most solid parts of the body, even into the quills and feathers. This air being rarified by the heat of their body, adds t o th e i r levity. By forc ing the air out of the body, they can dart from the greatest height with astonishing velocity. No doubt, the same machiney forms the basis of their vocal powers, and at once solves the mystery.-- Gardiner's Music of Nature. A rumour is prevalent that Mr. J. Martin, M.P. for Tewkesbury, intends accepting the Chiltern Hundreds, to admit the late d e f eate d can did ate, Mr. Lasthope.

A variety of circumstances have arisen during the last three or four months to diminish the ordinary 'attrac tions of the race•course. As the most powerful we may select the general elections and the depressed state of trade in all parts of the country. These causes materially affect Doncaster, as well as places of less note, but others of a local and peculiar character may be' mentioned. Many of the ancient supporters of Don caster have settled their accounts, and some, whose names were wont to appear as its zealous patrons, have with drawn altogether from the turf. This not all—the ex traordinary ease with which the Derby was won des troyed the St. Leger as a betting race, and had nut that been the case the minions character of the settling, would have produced the same effect. Another blow to the present meeting was the omission of the stewards of 1840 to appoint their sin:. cessors ; the Corporation, it is true, made a large addition to the public money, as originaliv advertised ; and were assisted with a liber a l plate by the innkeepers, but too late to counteract the combined influence of so many " untoward events." Prepared, therefore, fur a falling off in their present meeting, they have resolved to pre. vent any cause of complaint for the future. It is in tended, we. believe, - to lose nu time in procuring Stewards for 1842 (relieving them from the pecuniary responsibi lities hitherto coupled with the office), to make such al terations at the stand as may be considered essential to the comfort of the visitor, and to provide liberally for the public prizes ; if they do this in time we see no reason why Doncaster, reduced to four days, should not rieover from what, we trust, is only a temporary depres sion. It will be collected from the above remarks that the races commenced this afternoon tinier indifferent auspices. The weather was certainly all that could be desired, but tkin list" held the w.z4.rd of poamiSe-to the ditr, but bi=iike ii to the hope," six races in arpearance having dwindled down to threa. in reality, and those of a very unpretend ing character. The company was thin, the betting dull in the extreme. We should mention here, that a space has been inclosed in front of the Grand Stand, for the accommodation of the speculators, but being level with the course, is not available for a view of the running ; we understand that, by next year, it will in this respect be placed on a par with Epsom, Ascot, Goodwood, and Liverpool.

The returns for the City of Londonderry within the limits fixed by the Irish Reform Act, are not fully made up, but they appear to give a population of 15,179. By the Reform census, the population, within the same bounds, was 11,000. In some neighbouring parishes, it is understood that there has been an actual diminution, in consequence of the great number of per sons who have lately emigrated.—Limerick Reporter. Mdlle. Fanny Elssler, according to the terms of her engagement with the French Opera, was to return, and make her appearance on the 15th August, 1840, but her leave of absence was prolonged till the Ist January last. This period elapsed, and still the anxiously-looked for dansatrice remained on the other side of the Atlantic. Inconsequence the directors cited her before th e Tri bunal de Commerce, first demanding a va ca ti on o f t h e Contract, and, secondly, damages fur its brea c h t o t h e amount of 60,000 f. The cause came to a final hearing' on Wednesday. The counsel for Aldlle. Elssler pleaded to the jurisdiction on the ground that the matter in question was not an affair of commerc e . This plea being overruled by the Tribunal, judgment was suffered to go by default, and a decree to the full extent of the claim of the plaintiffs was pronounced. POISONOUS CATSUP.—The public should be upon their guard against the catsup hawked about the streets, much of . which is coloured by copper, in order to give it th e green hue desired by purchasers. Where this sophistication exists, it can readily be detected, by adding a few drops of liquid ammonia to the suspected liquor, which, in case of any copiwr being present, im mediately becomes blue. SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY. TIMES.—Sir Robert Peel, wafted by this great de cision (the general election) into the functions of Go vernment, has formed his Administration, and remitted himself and his colleagues to their country, for a sanc tion or a veto on his arrangements ; and though two months have not elapsed since the triumphant return of all these individuals to the House of Commons, Whig hopes are again on the alert, and Whig spculation 'dresses itself to most of the electrons. There is hardly a man among the new Ministers whose constituents the Whig papers are not endeavouring to bias against his re-election. Sir Robert Peel, they tell us, for instance, is afraid of personally facing his friends at Tamworth. lest he be called on to declare his intended measures ; as if, after distinctly declining at his late election, mid More lately still in the House of Commons, to coman: himself by premature disclosures, there were any greater or more stringent reason for his making such communi catiOns to that particular audience, which, of all others, would be the least inclined to press him—the circle of his own immediate neighbours, tenants, connections, and friends. We will not detain our readers ley entering into details respecting the claims of the other recently appointed Ministers to a renewal of the honour which they are seeking from their constituents. But there •is one consideration which we should have thought twist needs have suggested itself to the Whigs, as a conclusive damper to their still prurient hopes of hampering and baffling Sir Robert Peel's Administration. It is, that among all the-Ministers in and out of the Cabinet, who va cate their seats on these appointments, a number amount ing to almost thirty persons, there is not one —no, lite rally, we believe, not one—who is threatened with even an attempt at an opposition, unless the idle address of Mr. Acland against Sir Robert Peel can be regarded as a serious demonstration. To politicians who affect to adjust themselves. by the glass of pubileopielmeeeeOli a 4- I:efketion of it would, we suppose, have been a sickening sight ; and it is probably for that reason that they have carefully shut their eyes to it. At all events, say the mortified Whigs, our return to power is not more hope less now than the reinstalment of the Tories appeared to be nine ',ears at when the Reform Bill was passed into law. w Yes it is. The Tories, it is true, were at that time, like you, unpopular ; but they had not made themselves, like you, contemptible. Their policy was condemned ; but their good faith remained unques tioned. Much of what they professed, the people then disapproved ; but the people did not suspect them (as they have convicted you) of professing what they did not mean. Therefore, when, in process of time, a chance had come over the popular mind, and Conservative principles re-assumed their just consideration, there was nettling to disgust the people with the leaders through whom those principles were to be made effectual. Moreover, even in the darkest period of the Tory prospects, when Conserva tive opinions were most at a discount with the multitude, there remained always a large body of the country's in telligence, property, and rank, among whom those opi nions found shelter during their season of exile and dis couragement, and who willingly formed a nucleus and a rallying point for all rational attempts at restoration. Now the Whigs have no such body to aid them in their attempts at a rally. They retain the friendship of a few noble families, of a little haughty clique, the rump of Mr. e-ox's coalition with Lord North ; but the mass of the pc ople, or even the "fierce dernoeraey," they are no longer permitted to wield. Those mul titudes are led, some by Radicals, some by Chartists, but none by Whigs. The whole nation is by this time aware that the modern Whigs, having no fixed opinions of their own, do but trim between prerogative and popu larity-, between the Constitution and the mob, as it snits their designs upon office to appear Conservative or Re publican. This is no new characteristic of their faction. So long ago as the trial. of Hardy for high treason, a letter was produced from a member of the seditious con spiracy of that day, who, in writing to the notolimrs Margarot, about two brother incendiaries in Scotland, says therein, "Between us, Muir and Palmer have put themselves into the hands of the Opposition ; who, I fear, will use their case no further than as an argument to help themselves into Administration." What Lord Grey's partisans were then, Lord Grey's partisans are now ; and it is because the people have at length found this out, that we believe the Whig hopes of restoration to be utterly fallacious. Whatever clangers the country be doomed to behold, Whiggery, at least, we fully per suade ourselves, is at an end. :"As the wind goeth over it,. it is gone : and the place there9f shall know it. no more." POST.—The 'opponents of steady Conservative go vernment are doing all they can to impress the public with an idea that the new Administration in Ireland cannot succeed. These writers and speakers are in the condition attributed to the Bourbon family when they returned to France : in the experience of the last twenty years they have learned nothing and they have forgotten nothing. They describe, and they argue, as if the con- . Aition of Ireland, and the position and the ti_elings of its political parties, were just the same as they were twenty or thirty years ago. They talk as if red-hot Orange men on the one hand, and frightened, discontented, re bellious Itomanists on the other, were the sole occupants of the political field of Ireland; as if Dr. Dio-uenan were still the life of the Irish Privy Council, and \lr i rCe;l - the venturesome and cunning orator of the old " Catholic Board." This is extremely absurd. No part of the United Kingdom has been so much changed— no, nor anything like so much changed—within the last five.and-twenty years as Ireland has been. There have been many causes for this, which to enumerate in a desc:iptive and intelligible manner would occupy more space than we can :Ilford to the subject. The three principle causes, however, we may briefly state, namely, first, the dying away, by. the mere operation of time, of the fierce resentments and bitter recollections arising out of the rebellion of 179 S , and the insurrection of 1803. Secondly, the change of policy from that of un disguised ascendancy of one party over another t i a slmW and profession of equal justice 'to all. Last (and cer tainly not least) the immensely increased intercourse with England, both commercial and social, owing to the invention of steam-boats. No one who has not had some opportunity of observing it can Well imagine the extra• ordinary revolution in the affairs of merchandise, manu facturing, and employment of the soil which has been oc casioned by the facility and certainty of communicating with England. Among the better classes not only English habits of living, but English modes of thinking, have made wonderful progress, and the extravagance of Irish opinions, and the impetuosity of Irish conduct, 'lave proportionably diminished. Meanwhile, it is to be observed as a very remarkable fact, which we have never seen satisfectorily accounted for, that little or no alteration seems to have been effected in the habits of the Irish Romanist pea santry. They come to England in great numbers, some of them settle here, and others return ; but whether they remain or go back, they persevere in their old ha bits of reckless life, and gross neglect of the lesser mo rals, such as cleanliness, punctuality, orderly arrange ment, and so forth. St. Giles's is St. Giles's still, with all its revolting barbarism—though nothing but a line of houses separates it from the orderly English gravity of Great Russell-street, and the scientific treasures of the British . Museum. The " Tipperary boys" are as ready as ever for a row, and as content as ever with wretched habitations which a little common in dustry might make comparatively comfortable, though hundreds of them - visit England every year to reap the harvest, and must see how much better their class n'anage affairs with us. But we speak of the classes above the peasantry—of those who give the tone to public opinion. The fierce, domineering, swearing, drinking, Orange party is gone. There are knots of in dividuals here and there who indulge among themselves in the old truculence, but the party—the public body— is gone. In its place has arisen the comparatively mo derate, but still firm and well-principled, Conservatives. Hitherto " conciliation" has been very badly managed. It has not meant a sy s tem o f m ild, equa l, generous LGQ vernment, looking to what is just and fair with o ut di s • tinction of party , but it has meant the ascendancy of the Romanist leaders, of the advocates of Radicalism, and the ostentatious haters of the British Constitution, over their old masters. There may have been something like retributive justice in this, and if the object had been to punish the old Orange party, the system was reason able enough. But Government ought to have something • else to do than to punish the abusers of one era, by conti nuing the abuse in a contrary direction throughout another. CHRONICLE.—Whatever our own suspicions may be, we will assume that Sir Robert Peel possesses the power which the Times asserts he has, and hold him to the responsibility. And that responsibility at the pre sent crisis is truly of a most momentous description. In a few hours upwards of one thousand of the first firms in Manchester signed a requisition for the meeting to pre vent the prorogation of Parliament at this time. He that runs may read the signification of this step. Man chester is the heart of th e British manufacturing world, and the distress which has long been felt in every branch of our manufacturing industry has now reached the heart itself, and a general paralysis is anticipated. Men of capital perceive that, in the general prostra tion of industry, all property is insecure. The work man is wholly or partially unemployed, the mills are standing still, all the dependent traders are suffering, capitalist after capitalist sees his property take wings and flee from him—and society is shaken to its inmost foundations. There is literally at this moment serious apprehension of a social convulsion in the manufacturing districts. It can only be prevented by the sudden adop tion of measures calculated to chase from men's minds the despondency which has taken possession of th nm, and to hold out to them the hope of a brighter future. Sir Robert has the power. Be it so. He should not have credit for power, without being made to know that he has also responsiblity. What is expected of the Prime Minis ter of a great empire like this, threatened in the very cen tre of its industry with paralysis and convulsion ? Surely something more than to distribute places and patron age among his followers. There may be difficultie s in settling rival pretensions, in calming disappOinted am bition, and in putting the new executive in motion. But these difficulties are not surely to engross for ever the statesman who aspires to wield the destinies of this g rea t empire. Th e ti me h as a lready com e when we nre justi fied in reminding the Premier of the great oblect of government. The people want bread. The Ministry . exist, not for the sake of their emoluments and their patronage, but the public welfare—the public safety. Surely Sir Robert Peel .cannot have so low an opinion of the responsibility which attaches to his position, as to suppose that, when he has constructed a Cabinet, and distributed his patronage among his followers, he has done all which the country expects of him at this alerting crisis. Surely he cannot contemplate the deep insult to the distressed industrious classes of this country, which is great only be its indus try, of dismissing the Members of both Houses to the pleasures of the chace and other such amusements, at a time when millions of the people are in the utmost des titution, and have their eyes fixed on the Legislature. Through Parlimnent alone can remedial measures for the distress of the people be obtained ; and to postpone the the business of the country for six months, is, at a crisis like the present, a direct incitement to revolt. The petty pleasure of petty minds musenot be allowed at a time like this to sway the councils of Britain. If Sir Robert Peel dares to insult. the industrious classes, by this mockery of their distress, he will soon be made to feel that he has indeed incurred a most serious responsibility. HERALD.—The opposition press has suddenly been afaleted by a loss of memory. Sir Robeit Peel refused his assent to the Corn proposition of the Whig Budget, on the ground that an Bs. duty would be no protection to agriculture, and would, in years of scarcity, be intolera ' ble to the consumer; he objected to the Sugar proposi. tion, because it ran the risk of aggravating the horrors of slavery and the slave trade, at a time when there was a prospect of an augmented supply of East and West In dian sugars, and a consequent reduction of price to the consumer. On the Timber proposition the Right Hon. Baronet refrained from expressing any opinion, because the Whig Government never performed its pledge of laying before Parliament the plan which Lord John Russell asserted would reconcile Canada to the competi-: tion of' Baltic timber. But Sir Robert Peel's opposition to the Corn and Sugar propositions it not obnoxious to the charge urged against it by the opposition - press. The Right Hon. Baronet has at no time been the advo cate of dear breed,or . higli e prievl_eeigar e on the con _ - • e• -hasbeerdistTnetly sited that he would lithit the preteetion to agriculture to the extent required by- the extra burdens imposed on land over those paid by any other section of' the community, a principle, be it re marked, on which lard John Russell and his instructor, Mr. APCulloch alone justify a fixed duty. What, then, are these extra burdens on land ? What is the amount of duty which would place. the landed en a fiscal level with every other interest ? These are important ques t;eins, the solution of which is imperatively necessary be fore any scheme of Corn duties can be properly suggested; and yet Lord John Russell, demanding such an amount of protection to agriculture, actually proposed to legislate on the Corn-laws without having arrived at any approxi mation of that amount. A precise knowledge of these burdens is as necessary to the formation of a new sliding scale as it is to a fixed duty ; because, it is impossible to enter into any proper consideration of these laws in igno rance of details so indispensable to a just settlement of this great question as are the relative amounts of taxation paid by the various divisions of the community. In opposing the sugar proposition, Sir Robert warned the planters that their only hope of ultimate salvation and prosperity would consist in their ability to give the people of this country cheap sugar ; that the reasons for rejecting the proposed reduction of the duty on the foreign article were exceptional and temporary ; and that if neither India, Ceylon, the Mauritius, nor the West Indies-coulde on the expiration of the great experi ment now in progress in our sugar colonies, undersell Cuba, Brazil, and Java, they would have to bear the consequences of the competition of those countries. Sir Robert. Peel stands uncommitted on the timber duties ; and though it is certain that he will make no such proposition as that of his predecessors, we fully anticipate that he will hereafter suggest a greatly improved, and, to the revenue; a much more be neficial scale of duties than now exists ; and this anticipation is very much corroborated by what fell on'the subject from the Earl of Ripon, on moving the amendment to the address. It now suits the fraudulent purposes of the opposition Journals to assume that Sir Robert Peel is the determined enemy to the removal of ail vexatious and 'unnecessary impediments to the ex tension of our commerce, and of the protective system when carried to an injudicious extent. It likewise accords with their objects to describe the late Ministers as devoted to the principles of free trade ; forgetful that Lord John Russell, Mr. Lebo uc h ere , r. Baring, and , indeed every Cabinet Minister of Lord Melbourne's Ad ministration, admitted the principle of protection, and declared their opposition. to merely fiscal duties ; and totally regardless of the additional fact that those Jour nals devoted exclusively to the advocacy of unrestricted freedom of commerce gave to the Whig Budget their most inveterate opposition, an d laughed- and'derided at the claims of the late Ministers to be considered free traders. MONEY MARKET . and CITY NEWS. FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY. POST.—The joint stock bank to which allusion was made 3 estertlay, is the Nottinghamshire Banking. Com pany. A deputation front the 'Directors have been in London endeavoatring to arrange matters with the agents, but have not succeeded. It is stated by the friends of the establishment that there are not only ample assets to meet all demands, but that the embarraisment has been caused by the manner in which the house on which they draw here hare conducted themselves with regard to it. The high respectability of the parties in ques tion, and their unifin-m anxiety to afford accommodation, and the particular bills which it is stated have led to the step which they felt it necessary to take, are against the ' credit of the report. Spanish bondholders are much pleased with the an nouncement that Mr. Thornton is to be requested to act as bunker for the intended payment of the overdue in terest., but they fear that the intelligence is too good to be correct. If such be the case, and the money actually arrive, some hope may be entertained that the profes sions lately made by the Spanish Government are in tended to be kept. If the principle of honesty be ad hered to, confider.ce may be restored, but not until the decrees which have so solemnly been promulgated be fulfilled. The holders of the bonds cannot but recollect that many of them were induced to purchase upon ad vertisements, announcing the payment of the dividend, signed by the Ambassador from that country, and which proved to be vox et pretercu as they have since dis covered to their cost. If Mr. Thornton be inclined to undertake the office, he will do well not to state so until he have the cash in hand, and the pubic ought not to operate in any way until they have his guarantee that'such is the case. if the protnises hitherto made have each and all been broken, what security, but tht.. money, can be be relied on in Ili!, present instance ? TIMES.—The democratic party are, of course, highly delighted at the firm and manly conduct of President Tyler. The question of a national bank seems now to be set at rest, the Bankists having been defeated by the Vice-President of their own choice. He has conscien tiously taken his stand on his own views of the Constitu tion, and has declared against a national bank, not-on account of minor items of detail, which might be re moved in a modiied scheme, but against a bank of dis count generally.• This proceeding is in conformity with the views we have always advocated, on the conviction that an office for the sole purpose of collecting and dis bursing the public revenue, without any private interest that might clash with its duty to the public, was the only institution calculated for the United_States, and that a national bank and its concomitancies would be but a national evil. As for the objection to the sub-treasury, that it would keep locked up a vast quantity of specie, it has, we believe, been ascertained that $5,000,000 would be all that would ever be required to lie in the vaults at once, a sum which could not in any way embar rass such u nation as the Union. SUN.—The steamer from Halifax, with dates nine days later from America, is almost hourly expected, .and her arrival is looked for with much interest. The Funds were very steady again to-day, though with very little doing. The news re ceived from Paris of the infamous attempt on the life of the Due d'Aumale, or, as is more generally believed here, upon the Heir Apparent, the Duke of Orleans, had no effect upon the value of the Public Securities, as there seems to be every confidence in. the ability of Louis Philippe to preserve the tranquility of his capital. For immediate t ransf e r, Consols realised 89/ to WI, and for Account 904 to 90; ; Ex chequer Bills were 12 to 14 premium, and East India Bonds reached 3 to 4 premium. India Stock was dull again at 2461. The New Three and-a-Half per Cents. advanced to 981 and 99. The settlement of the Half-monthly Account in the Foreign Market takes place to-morrow, and most of the jobbers were occupied in arranging their books, as there has been a good deal of speculation in Spanish Stock lately. Spanish Active Bonds were 211 to for Money, and at 22 for the next Account. Mexican Stock was marked 251, and Venezuela 29; Russian Stock was 'at 1124, and Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. realised 511 to 4. The Share Market was steady, and for some of the lines of Railway rather improved rates were obtained. Great Western Railway Shares were 14; the New, 5 to 51; the Fifths, 4 to 44 ; London and Birmingham 69, and the South Wes tern 124 premium; Brighton were 31 t 0.41• Bir mingham and Gloucester 401, and Midland Counties 24 discount. 110 11 1 1 . e F l oi; o ei i g u u t . e E s x f, c ) l r ia T n i g u e o s e w .il e t i o •e o l t o h N s v , e i r ,a tl p li e s rl a , f .v t .te e r, r e - . io - 10; these:—Paris, 25f. 60c. to 65c.; Amste r3 rda p m , Antwerp, 12 34 to 1 ; Hamburg:h, The following are the official ret o u f i Frankfort, 149 to 1491 ; and .

SlR—Upon many occasions I have admired your advo- Cacy of the poor man's rights ; I therefore beg you will have no objection to inform the public, that to this mo ment some of the Australian emigrant agents are, by advertisements, informing the public, that a free passage i. to be obtsined, on application, - by any mechanic of " good character and abilities'."

Now, Sir, it is a well known fact, that many a man travels many a mile to visit these agents ; and it is a shame, I think, that a poor man should be brought twenty or thirty miles, when, on arrival, yott are very uncivilly treated, to say the least. I am, Sir, your obedient servant, • A POOR MECHANIC. Hounslow, Sept. 14, 1841. [Persons in the condition of our Correspondent would do well to communicate, by letter, with the advertising agents before coming to London. Postage now is next to nothing. Every information could be had for a penny; and, if the agent gave a false account, he could be made answerable for the consequences.—En. Sun.] THE POOR-LAW ACT. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sin—The Quack Doctor, after, with considerable tact and reasoning, he has succeeded in displ ac in g th e NV: . and securing " pay, pickings, and plunder," for his own hungry faction, is now, it appears, about to adopt, at least for a considerable period, one of th e principal mea sures of the Whig Government. We are now cooly told, and that, too, in the Tory prints, which but lately were so furious and abusive on this very point, that the vapid, cold-blooded emperic is about to propo. , :e the renewal of the Poor-law Bill for a twelvemonth. Feelings of honour may restrain many on the Opposition benches, who have given more or less support to this odious, and to use Tory phraseology, un-English measure, from offering any decided nega tive to this extraordinary proposition front the head of a party who have stunned the country with denunciations of " the iniquities and the abominations" of the infamous Whig Bastile Bill. But there are others differently situated—amongst them Captain Pechell and the Hon. Members for J?insbury, Messrs. Wakley and Duncombe— who have all along consistently opposed this Bill ; and if Ido not greatly mistake, they are not the sort of men likely to allow this Poor-law Bill to be continued with out giving those Tory Members, who must be most anxious to set themselves right with their constituents, an • opportunity of recording their sentiments. If the notice already given by Mr. Roebuck is not deemed judicious, may not the Quack Doctor be met by an amendment, limiting the duration of the present Bill to six months, front the Ist of November next. This, allow ing Parliament to meet towards the end of January. will allow the Tamworth-feed Quack abundance of time to re-construct the Bill to w hi c h h e i s so great l y i n d e bted for getting his quarter's salary.

Ou Wednesday he attended in the Consistcry Court to answer the allegations of Mrs. Dillon, in the suit insti tuted by him. His answer, given upon oath, was a most direct denial of all that had been imputed to him in re gard to suborning a witness, and having overlooked the alleged misconduct of his lady.

BANK OF ISSUE.—The second Report of the Committee on Banks of Issue has been published by order of the House of Commons, which states in sub stance that it is impossible for them to give that conside ration to the many points suggested in the evidence al ready before them which would enable them to report any well-grounded opinion to the House. They are aware that this may cause disappointment, but on questions of so much importance they prefer caution to satisfying the demand for a Report. They refer to the House to decide on the propriety of prosoeut,,th;,,, inquiry in the subseque n t Session. . /
