Its constant application will change the most Bilious:Complexion into one of Radiant Whiteness; while to the Neck, Hand, and Arm, it bestows a delicacy and fair ness unrivalled. To Gentlemen afflicted with a tenderness of the skin in shaving, the application of the Kalydor will be found to allay all cuticular irritation. It effectually heals and prevents chapped and a rcugh skin, and, from its extraordinary efficacy in allay ing all incidental inflam.t.ation, &c., deserves a place among the household treasures of every family.

The various forms of bodily and mental weakness, incapa city, suffering, and disease, faithfully delineated in this cau tiously written and practical work, are almost unknown, gene rally misunderstood, and treated upon principles correspond ingly erroneous and superficial, by the present race of medical practitioners. Hence the necessity for the publication of a timely safeguard, a silent yet friendly monitor; or, where debi lity has made threatening inroads, the means of escape and the certainty of restoration. The evils to which this book adverts are extensive and identical in their secret and hidden origin, and there are none to whom, as Parents, Guardians, Heads of Families, and especially of public Schools, is confided the care of young people, who ought to remain for a moment devoid of that information and those salutary cautions this work is in tended to convey. Not only are the most delicate forms of generative debility neglected by the family physician, but they require for their safe management the exclusive study of a life entirely abstracted from the routine of general practice, and (as in other departments of the profession) attentively concen trated in the daily and long-continued observation requisite for the correct treatment of sexual infirmities. If we consider the topics touched upon, either in a moral or social view, we find the interests and welfare of mankind seriously involved. The effects of licentious, indiscriminate and secret indulgence in certain practices, are described with an accuracy and force which display at once profound reflec tion and extensive practical experience. The best of all Friends is the Professional Friend : and in no shape can he be consulted with greater safety and secresy than in " Lucas on Manly Vigour." The initiation into vicious indulgence—its progress—its results in both sexes, are given with faithful, but alas I for human nature, with afflicting truth. However, the Authors have not exposed the evil with out affording a remedy. It shows how " Manly Vigour" temporarily impaired, and mental and physical emasculation, produced by uncontrolled indulgence of the passions, can be restored; hew the sufferer, who has pined in anguish from the consequences of early indiscretion—afraid almost to encounter his fellow man, can regain the vigour of health and moral courage. The work is written in a concise and perspicuous style, displaying how often fond parents are deceived by the outward physical appearance of their youthful offspring ; how the attenuation of the frame, palpitation of the heart, derange ment of the nervous system, cough, indigestion, and a train of s ymptoms indicative of consumption or general decay, are often ascribed to wrong causes ; and instead of being the natural re sults of congenit al debility or disease, are the consequences of an alluring and pernicious practice, alike destructive to the mind and body. Although a newspiper is not the ordinary channel for the expression of opin ion upon the merits of a medical work, this remark is open to exception in any instance where the public, and not the isolated and exclusive members of the profession, are the parties addressed. Upon that which is directed to men indiscriminately , t he world will form its own opinion, and will demand that medical works for public study should be devoid of that mysterious technicality in which the science of medicine has hitherto shrou ded its own ignorance. The work before us treats of subjects we believe generally, yet very strangel y , neglected by the medical attendant, and requiring doubtlessly ( as in operative midwifery and the surgery of the eye) an entire devotedneEs to a deeply important branch of study. The tone of this book is highly .moral, and it abounds in well-written, harrowing, yet correct displays , of the suffering consequent upon unbridled sensualism. No human being can be the worse for its perusal ; to multitudes it must prove a warning beacon, a well-told appeal to reason, a permanent blessing. It is written in a clear, intelligent style, and is evi dently the production of a mind long and practically conver sant with the diseases of the most delicate division of the humn organization. he security of Happiness in the Marriage State is the chief anxiety of all ; but many dread entering upon the wedded union, through a secret fear of unfitness for the discharge of matrimonial obligations. This essay is most particularly ad dre •sed to all suffering under a despondency of the character alluded to ; and advice will be found calculated to cheer t he drooping heart, and point the way to renovated health.

The unavoidable consequence of this is, that we meet a very considerable proportion of indifferent, useless, and even bad books. With the force of this prejudice on our minds, we with no little reluctance were induced to peruse Messrs. Curtis's work, entitled "Manhood ;" nor did it re quire much perusal fully to satisfy us that the book was not one of the common stamp. The scientific views taken by the authors of the source and origin of many of the most distressing effects of certain depraved habits, fully establish their claim to the character of experienced and judicious surgeons. To quote passages from the work in proof of our assertion would be departing from the established rules of the daily press. The result, however, of our careful perusal of the work, has been to impress us with a thorough confidence in the talent and skill of the authors, and to satisfy us that those entrusted with the care of youth are not a little indebted to them for fur nishing them with a means of preventing some of the most frightful maladies to which flesh is heir.—Old England. Messrs. Curtis's work, entitled "Manhood," is one of the few books now coming before the public on such a subject which can lay claim to the character of being strictly professional, at the same time that it is fully intelligible to all who read it. The moral and medical precepts given in it, render it invalu able.—Magnet. The perusal of Messrs. Curtis's book entitled " Manhood," has really astonished us by developing a series of mal a di es , th e never-failing consequence of the vicious habit of which it treats. The clear connexion pointed out between the assigned cause and the effects is perceptible to every capacity. We strongly recommend the work.—Age. The multitude of books daily coming from the press, some, nay most of them of a very questionable tendency, made us ex tremely reluctant to take up another. Having, however, been induced by the character given of this work by an intelligent friend, we ventured to open its pages, and now feel no hesita • tion in saving that we arise from its perusal instructed and edified. The clear exposition of the source of many of those diseases which proves so fatal to youth, and which are set down by the every-day observer as the result of common causes, *Aril as exposure to cold, sudden vi c i ss i tu d es of tempe rature, hereditary taint, &c., is truly convincing and extre mely satisfactory. We say " satisfactory," inasmuch as Messrs. Curtis have shown that many diseases, such as Pulmonary Consumption, Epilepsy, &c., hitherto the opprobria of medi cine, may, when taken in proper time, and submitted to judi cious treatment, be brought to as favourable a termination as any other class of ffec tions. We do not t hi n k we go too far in saying that socie y is deeply indebted to the authors for producing so useful, so much wanted, so val ua bl e , an d so truly moral a book.—Conservative Journal. ...„. We recommend the work entitled " Manhood," &c., to the careful perusal of persons of all classes. The moral as well as physical advantages sure to result from such perusal, will be most readily recognised and felt by those who stand most in need of them.—Statesman. Messrs. Curtis 'and Company are to be consulted daily at their residence, No. 7, Frith-street, Soho-square, London.

FROM THE 3IORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY. POST.—To judge from the well-concerted statements we meet with in some of the newspapers, and which may, we presume, be regarded in the light of feelers, the Lombard-street houses are desirous of negotiating for the temporary use of the moneys periodically paid into the Bank en account of the Exchequer. The more rapid and imperative mode of getting in the public re venue alluded to by our Contemporaries, as now in ope ration, aggravates beyond all question, and this in a material degree, if indeed it does not occasion, the sudden pressures for money which are at times so grievously felt and so loudly complained of. Such pressures, whether arising partially or entirely from the causes indicated, are alike injurious and unfair in the influence they exercise upon the commerce of the country. The mercantile com munity at large is unreasonably prejudiced by them, but it is upon the minor class of traders, including shopkeepers and other retailers, that they bear with the most ruinous severity. Parties of this standing are comparatively unknown among capitalists and bankers, so that when the adverse season sets in, they have no alternative but to have recourse to the usurer, who is in a situation to make his own terms, and, be those terms 10, 15, or 20, per cent., they must be patiently, if not even thankfully, submitted to. The Bank has not, we believe, demanded more than 5 per cent. for accommo dation since the year 1839, yet there have, in the inter val, been many periods when Bank notes were not pro curable for ordinary discounts, and when the bankers were driven to the Bank of England for an issue at their rate of 5 per cent., exacting any advance on that rate which the assistance required by the mercantile classes might justify. From 6to 7 per cent. has been not.un commonly demanded and given. It must be apparent tti every one that the periodical accumulation in the hands of the Bank of England of millions of the present necessarily contracted amount of circulation, while the surplus bullion of the Bank does not exceed four or five millions, cannot but be produc tive of great derangements in the Money Market. The only remedy for such a state of things is for the Bank to lend out the public moneys accumulated to trustworthy persons at a rate of interest somewhat below that at which they make their ordinary advances preparatory to the close of the financial quarter. The object would thus be attained ; but the jealousy the Directors would have to encounter, and the difficulty of making pre ferences that might be most consonant with the general interest, form what many may think an almost insuper able barrier to the successful adoption of any expedient of that nature.. The Lombard-street houses feel, we dare say, the awk wardness of the matter ; but the suggestion made by them through their particular organs, may possibly be improved upon ; for it is certainly one that is entitled to the attention of the public. TIMES.—One remark made in the city on Lord Mont eagle's official notices respecting Exchequer bills is worth repeating, which is, that though he informs the public of the amount of bills stamped as genuine he says nothing of those impounded as spurious. At his own proper time, whenever that may be, this is a point which should also he made known officially. We are desired to state, in reference to a paragraph in an evening paper, in which is announced, on the autho rity of letters from Kendal, the failure of a bank there, " which has hitherto been considered very wealthy," that with respect to the two banks which would answer this description, viz., that of 'Wakefield, Crewdson, and Co., who keep their London account with Messrs. Masterman and Co., and the Bank of Westmoreland, who keep their account with Messrs. Glyn and Co., there can not be, it is supposed, the least foundation for this state ment, since neither of the London banking-houses re ferred to have any information on the subject ; but, on the contrary, consider them to be removed from any danger of that kind. The above are the only two banks in the town of Kendal. SUN.—The Market for Stocks has been good again to day, and rather a large business was transacted at the im proved rates. Consols for immediate transfer realised 884 to 89k, closing at 69 buyers, and for the January Account 891 to Exchequer Bills were at Bs. to 10A. premium. The new Three-and-a-Half per Cents, brought 98k to 99k, and the Three per Cent. Annuities 87k to 88k. Bank Stock was at 1641 to 165, and India Stock at 248 i.. There was a corresponding degree of activity in the Foreign Market, and prices all advanced. Spanish Actives to-day rose from 23 7 to 241 e. Portuguese New Five per Cents., 321 to 32- g , being to a per Cent. higher. Mexican Stock was worth 251, Peruvian 14 to 14k, and Colombian . 19k to 20. Dutch Five per Cents. were 998. Shares did not lead to much speculation. Great Wes tern were 14 premium, and Brighton were 13 to 14 dis. CITY IMPROVEMENTS.-MAN- SION- HOUSE. At the last .Common Council the following mction was carried : Resolved and ordered,—That it be referred to the Committee for General Purposes, to consider the pro priety of removing the projection over the pediment of the portico of the Mansion-house, and to report their opinion thereon to this Court. Sir Peter Laurie, who has the merit of bringing this matter before the Court, has in consequence received the following letter upon the subject, from one of the first architects in London : MY DEAR SIR PETER,—Augustus proudly declared that he fowl.? Rome of brick and left it of marble ; a somewhat similar exultation might be indulged in at the present day with regard to the architectural aspect of London ; we found it without. order, convenience, and beauty—we shall leave it (if not throughout at least in many quarters) beautiful and commodious. By the formation of Regent-street the Crown set the example, as in all that is fair and good it should, but the citizens of London have so emulously followed in the right course as to have, in some respects, outstripped the improvers of the west. When all is done that is in progress in the vicinity of the Mansion-house, few cities in the world will present so fine an architectural scene. It must, however, be remembered, that the more our admiration is courted the more critical we shall become ; errors that formerly escaped without much observation will now be brought to light, and condemned to the obloquy they deserve. One of the greatest architectural errors of the last cent , ry was the Mansion-house ; from Ralph and Gwynn, down to the present day, few critics have failed to have their fling at it. It is unnecessary here to enter into a critical examen of this structure, which is, indeed, rich in blemishes ; the great and paramount fault is the anomalous excrescence which surmounts, or rather oppresses, the principal front ; and which gives to it an aspect that has not inaptly been likened to the stern of an Indiaman. The efforts of all good citizens should be united to effect the removal of this enormity. The proper termination of this facade is the cornice and balustrade. The cornice represents the projecting ex tremities of the roof, and the balustrade is but an orna mental-parapet, contrived by the Italian architects of the middle ages, as a protection to persons walking on the terraced roof. The prmternatural building, therefore, which rises at the Mansion-house above the cornice and balustrade is not only a sad disfigurement to the front, but a manifest solecism. The dimension from the level of the street to the top of this sinful excrescence is 101 feet, whilst the whole width of the front is but 100 feet. It is questionable whether, among all the monstrosities that architecture has ever given birth to, there exists in Christendom one building, having any pretensions to be a work of art, whose facae is thus proportioned. The dimension from the level of the street to the top of the balustrade is 70 feet ; which, with reference to the width, is a perfectly good proportion, and such as may be found in some of the best works of the Italian masters. Let us, then, "off with its head !" The materials will at least pay the cost of removal, and we shall then have removed a stigma upon the public taste, given light to the surrounding narrow ways, and added one grace more to the Queen of Cities—the emporium of the world The public are under great Obligations to you, and I am, my dear Sir Peter, very truly yours, London, Nov. 20, 1841. S. S. The General Purpose Committee, to whom it was re ferred, will bring up a Report recommending the remo val of the unsightly bulk, and among other reasons, that the walls of the Mansion-house will not be able to sup port such a weight much longer, and that the rooms are not required. A similar projection was removed from over the Egyptian Hall, in the Mayoralty of Mr. William Curtis. OPENING OF THE THAMES TUNNEL. Yesterday a thoroughfare was affected in the Thames Tunnel, and made useuf for the first time, by the whole of the Directors, and some of the original subscribers, who had assembled upon the occasion. The shield having been advanced to the shaft at Wapping, a considerable open ing was cut in the brick-work, and it was through this the party, who had met at Rotherhithe, were enabled to pass ' • thus opening the first subterranean Communica tion between the opposite shores of the river. Upon their arrival at the shaft the party were greeted by the workmen with most hearty cheers. A curious and in teresting incident was connected with the event ; a few bottles of wine, preserved since the dinner on the occa sion when the foundation stone was laid, with the under standing that it was to be drunk only when it could be carried under the Thames, having been opened and en joyed by the company to the health of her Majesty and the infant Prince. It was remarked, too, as a singular coincidence, that a seal oti one of the corksbore the ii press of the Prin ce of "Wales' feathers, a circumstance that caused some merriment. The veteran engineer, Sir I. Brunel, appeared highly gratified at the happy result of all his past anxiety and arduous labour. The shield will continue its advance until it has afforded spec' , for the formation of the remainder of the Talmo, which is expected to be completed in about three weeks. GRONINGEN, Nov. 17.--M. Dienks was yesterday declared by the provincial tribunal to be the author of the Jets, and condetn9ed to two years' im prisonment.

EXAMINATION AND COMMITTAL OF THE CHIEF CASHIER AND CLERK. CHICHESTER, Nov. 23.—1 t having beer. rumoured that the chief cashier and chief clerk of this bank had em bezzled sums of money, great excitement was created, the most exaggerated statements circulated, and the stoppage of the bank attributed to them. The exact ac count appears in the following evidence : William Stiles Goodeve, chief cashier, and William Williams, head clerk, were brought before Dr. 111‘Ca ' rogher, the Mayor, and Thomas Howe Clarke, Esq., the sitting Magistrates, charged with embezzlement. Mr. Sherwood, a solicitor, attended on their behalf. Mr. William Newland deposed that he was a junior partner in the firm of Ridge and Co., bankers. The pri soner Goodeve had bee n for several years in the esta blishment as cashier, and had the charge of the cash and the notes issued by the firm. On Wednesday last witness went to the bank, and asked the prisoner Goodeve if he could tell the amount of notes in circulation. The prisoner then went into the front office, and produced a paper, on which was 8,685/. Witness asked him if that was the correct amount of notes in circulation. The prisoner said there was about 5,000/. more, which he said he was certain was the correct amount. Witness asked him what he had got to provide for it, when he replied about 4,0001. worth of hay and other things. When the pri soner pointed to the 8,685/., witness asked him if that was the return furnished to Mr. Ridge. The prisoner said it was 5,000/. more in the statement supplied to Mr. Ridge. Mr. Charles Ridge deposed that he was a banker at in consequence of discovering errors Chichester. rotinth ltn prisoner Vicss ' Goodeve's accounts, sent for him and asked him to account for the deficiency, amounting to 5,0501. in notes, returned on the 13th instant. Wit ness reminded him that he had told Mr. Newland the deficiency was 5,000/., but they had since found it was 5,050/. The prisoner accounted for it by saying he omitted to put a check for the 50/. Witness asked him if he took the 5,000/. at one time, but he declined answer ing the question. The witness produced a book, from which he stated that there appeared to have been in the prisoner Goodeve's custody, 1,5491. 2s. 10d. in cash, and 35,0401. in notes. Itiitness also produced the memoran dum furnished by the prisoner to the firm on Friday last, purporting to be an account of the notes and cash in the bank cellars. The amount of cash is stated to be 4001., and the notes 16,000/. ; the notes were issuable by the firm. Witness added the 16,000/. with other notes, and the notes found in the prisoner Goodeve's parcel, and the deficiency was found to be 3,2001. and 8,3001., which the partners were cognisant of, and 5,0501., which they were not cognisant of, and which was the deficiency alleged against the prisoner Goodeve. Witness said the amount added together made 35,0401., which was the amount of notes the pi:isoner represented as being in his care. Mr. John Dixon Newland deposed that he was pro fessionally engaged in assisting Messrs, Ridge in inves tigating their cashier's accounts. They were unable to make out the prisoner Williams's accounts, and he was called in and asked to explain the deficiency. The prisoner then said he knew he had done wrong. Witness cautioned him against saying anything to criminate him self, but he said it was no use attempting to conceal it. Mr. Charles Ridge was then examined as to the defi ciency of Williams. 'Witness deposed that the prisoner had been for many years in the employ of the firm, as clerk and cashier. In consequence of discovering a deficiency in hi: accounts, witness sent for him on Friday last, and told him they could not make his notes and cash correspond with the figures in the book. Witness asked if he could inform him how the difference arose. Ile replied, he could ; adding, he knew .he had done wrong. Witness then asked him to produce a paper, on which he enumerated the items of his cash and notes. The prisoner 'Williams kept an account independent of the prisoner Goodeve. The prisoner Wil liams then produced an account, and said he knew he had done wrong, but if witness would allow him he would explain. Witness here produced a book, in the prisoner's handrwiting, from which there appeared in cash 456/. 75., and notes 2,9201., which sums the prisoner ought to have had in his possession.

EXTRAORDINARY DISTURBANCE OF THE --- MAGNETIC --- &STRITMENTS. (From the Cambridge Advertiser.) Royal Observatory,-Greenwich, Oct. 26. On the 25th of September of the present year, a most extraordinary disturbance of the magnetic instruments was observed at the Magnetic Observatory attached to the Royal Observatory of Greenwich. The disturbed state of all the instruments attracted the attention of Mr. Glaisher (chief assistant in the Magnetic Department), at an early hour of that day, and he immediately com menced a series of observations on all the instruments at short intervals. After a time the disturbance became so small that the extraordinary observation s were dis continued ; but it again increased, and observations were again immediately made with all the instruments, and repeated as rapidly as it was possible for one observer to do so. But for the promptitude and judgment displayed by Mr. Glaisher on this occasion, the record of this dis turbance, unprecedented in this magnetic latitude, would probably have been lost. The following statement will give an idea of the magnitude of the disturbance : that within eight minutes of time, the declination needle changed its position more than 2+ deg. (having passed in both directions the range of the observing telescope, which includes that angle): that the verticle force was increased by more than 1-40th of its whole value, the in strument having then reached the extremity of its range; and that the horizontal force was increased about 1-30th of its whole value. The following more detailed account is taken princi pally from the abstract furnished by Mr. Glaisber. It is to be remarked that the time throughout is Gottingen mean solar time, civil reckoning ; that the readings of the theodolite for the declination needle increase as the north end of the needle moves towards the east, and that the reading for the astronomical meridian is 269 deg. 51 min. 45 sec. nearly ; that the increasing readings ri thererti cal force magnetometer imply increasing vriiicaVoree, one division being eqaul to 0.00471 of the whole vertical force ; and that the increasing readings of the horizontal force magnetometer imply increasing 'horizontal force, one division being equal to 0.002214 of the whole hori zontal force. Early in the 'morning of the 25th of September, the needles were in an agitated state. During the appear ance of an aurora additional observations were taken, and the declination needle in less than three hours tra versed an arc of 34 min. After this the needles were in a tolerably quiet state, and extraordinary observations were discontinued. The observation at 10h. a,m. showing a charge of 17 min. of arc from the previous reading, at Bh. A.M., extra observations were again resumed, and continued till 11h. A.M. ; nothing remarkable appearing during this time, they were again discontinued. At 2h. Gottingen mean time, it was evident that all the needless were affected by some unusual cause of disturbance, and incessant observations were at once commenced, the instruments being observed successively as quickly as one observer could take them. At 3h. 53m. Mr. Hind joined, and subsequently Messrs. Dunkin and Paul. From this time to the discontinuance of the ob servations two persons were constantly engaged, one taking the observations with the vertical force magneto meter—the other those of the declination needle and of the horizontal force magnetometer. About 2h. 40m. P.M. the motions of the needles became very peculiar ; the vibrations of the declination needle and of the vertical force magnetometer being quite destroyed ; and those of the horizontal force magnetometer being reduced to a continuous succession of jerks or starts. it wilt, perhaps, contribute to clearness if the motions of the three instru ments are now separately described. DECLINATION NEEDLE. Every change in this instrument from one position to another was by sudden impulses ; after each of these it was stationary, for intervals varying from 5 sec. to 20 sec. ; then it was forced again to another position, and was again stationary without the slightest motion ; and so on successively. _ At 3h. 30m. the changes from one position to another became very decided, but the motions still partook of the same character ; absolute rest and jerking motion followed alternately. In 2 sec. or 3 sec . th e neele fre quently moved through many minutes of arc, and then suddenly became stationary again. At 3h. 36m. 20sec. Pail, a bold sweep carried the north end of the needle towards the west 56m. of arc, in one minute of time ; at 3h. 37m. 20 sec . t h e theodolite read 245 d. 22m. ; and for two minutes after this time the cross carried by the needle was out of range of the te lescope,* being in a position, in which, if the telescope had been exactly directed to it, the theodolite would have read. less than 245 d. 22m. At 3h. 40m. 20 sec., P.M., Gottingen mean time, the needle had moved back 25w.; at 3h. 43m. 50 sec. the theodolite read 246 d. 19m. ; at 3h. 44m. 20 sec. the needle had moved so far (north end towards the east) that the theodolite reading was 247 d. 38m., and the cross carried by the needle was out of range of the telescope on the opposite side. This extraordinary magnetic stride, of more than 21 deg., was traversed in about Bm., the extremes being only separated by that interval of time. At both extremities the needle was without swing, all momentum from such a. wide sweep being huite destroyed. After remaining at this place for more than two minutes, the needle slowly returned, and at 3h. 48m. 54 sec. the theodolite read 246 deg. 27 min.; at 3h. .53m. 21 sec. it read 246 deg. 37m. Within 5 sec. after this, another bold sweep carried the cross out of the range of the telescope ; when found at 3h. 54m. 40 sec. the theodo lite read 245 deg. 31 min. ; instantaneously it rushed back, with a violently agitated motion across 'and out of the field on the other side; the circle reading at 3h. 55m. was 246 deg. 43 min., and therefore this arc of 1 deg. 12 min., was passed over in 20 secs. of time. This was the last very great excursion ; the needle was incessantly watched for nine hours longer, during which time it was much agitated. The most remarkable changes are the following:— H. M. S. D.M. At 4 25 36 P.M. Gottingen m. t., theodolite read 246 8 31 36 34 49 36 4 55 36 5 46 37 50 37 6 0 30 6 33 37 6 46 36 7 16 38 7 31 38 7 56 38 8 53 38 9 18 38 9 38 38 10 10 39 10 41 39 10 46 39 11 45 40 12 52 40 30 ... 8 .2 3 6 2 ... ... 25 ... 46 28 ... 43 ... 53 39 46 30 It is to be remembered that increasing readings denote that the North end of the needle moves towards the East. VERTICAL FORCE MAGNETOMETER. The vertical force magnetometer was as much affected as the declination instrument. The disturbances of its vibrations were very . similar, except that it was fre quently much longer in the stationary state, its times of rest varying from 5 sec. to 2m. ; at the end of each of these it jumped on, then was again still, and so on. This instrument had been much affected early in the morning ; the extent of its excursions being between 37d.9, and 44d.1 on the scale. The following are scale readings, commencing with noon : H. M.

MAGNI:TONI:TER. The horizontal force magnetometer was not less affected than the other two instruments. The ef fect on its vibrations was, however, peculiar to it self ; in the midst of its swings it was suddenly checked, and held in that place for a second or two, then hurried backwards, again suddenly stopped, and then forced back in the contrary direction ; these cheeks were sometimes at 5 sec.. sometimes at 10 sec., after ar riving at its limit. They were most striking. From ex perience with this instrument, we are accustomed to look for an almost imperceptible motion at the extvrnities of the variations, then to see It 11101 , 0 slowly in the opposite //~~ EVENING Sex. - _ direction, (pickily in the centre of swing, slowly towsads the end, then retts'rn, and so on ; tto see it, almost in the same instant, moving rapidly, an absolutely motion less, was very striking and strange itbe observeri. This instrument w as less affected die early part of the day than either of the others. About noon it showed signs of being under the influence of some disturbing cause : the scale then read .55d. R ; at lh. 50m. the read ing increased to 58d. 6 ; at 211. Om. to 59d. 3 ; at 2b. 15m. to 60d. 1 ; it then oscillated between 59d. and 61d.. till 3b. 11m., the scale then reading 59d. 7. The dis turbances now became as surprising as those with o.le other needles ; a steady and rapid increase o f scale reading took place, with a strange jerking motion. H. M. S. Dr JL, At 3 14 48 P.M., Gottingen mean time, the scale read 61 4 3 21 3 ••• ••• 61 2 3 27 26 64 2 3 28 6 ••• ••• 64 4 3 28 46 • 64 8 333 16 ••• 73 6 3 38 56 ••• 73 2 Then there was a remarkable start to 78d. 0 ; and, here it remained stationary from 3h. 39m. to 3h. 43m., when it started back. Et N. S. D. 111. At 3 47 41 P.u., Gottingen mean time, the scale read 69 9 3 56 31 ... ... 65 6 4 0 51 ... ... 63 7 4 8 55 .• • ... 63 1 4 15 1 . 1 ... ... 64 6 • 4 47 41 ..-. ... 61 4 Then the reading increased a little, and then g-raduallv decreased, till sh. 53m. 12sec. P.M., Gottingen mean time, when it read 57d. 8; it then increased to 6h. 16m. I.4ice., when the scale read 62d. 1. It then oscillated between 58d. and 60d., until 7h. 25m. 13sec., when a sharp diminution to 53d. 9 took place. The readings alternately increased and decrea se d f or t h e next 6 hours, oscillati ng all the time between 33d. ands7d. From the preceding account it will be seen that the magnetometers were more affected on this day than ever before, and that the great disturbance affected the three instruments at the same time. The most abrupt and violent fluctuations of the meri dian needle occurred between 2h. 36m. and 3h. 46m. At 3h. 35m. 21sec. the vertical force magnet went beyond the scale: at 3h. 45m. it again came on. The horizontal force needle began its great deflection before 3h. 38m. 16sec. ; it was over at 3h. 38m.; and probably, had there been an oLserver at each instrument, it would have been found that the effects on all were simultaneous. Such was Mr. Glaisher's impression while observing; but (as he remarks) the startling and - bewildering effect of so great changes was such, that all that he could do was to make such observations as seemed practicable, with a view of discovering the extent of such extraordinary dis turbances. After this great disturbance the irregularities were still very great ; the horizontal force and the vertical force magnetometers partook of similar disturbances throughout. With a few trifling exceptions, an increase of force 'in one was accompanied with an increase of force in .the other, and so also with respect to the de crease of ft:wee. The declination magnet has certainly, however, one great deflection, in which the others have no share ; that which occurred bet ween 3h. 54m. 40sec. and 3h. 55m. Osec., where an arc of 1 deg. 12m. was described in 20sec. Nothing similar, at this time, is shown by either of the other needles. In addition to the observations contained in this ac count, ample and abundant observations were taken to obtain every variation of the vertical force, and also observations of the declination and horizontal force mag netometer sufficient to show every great change, and nearly all the small ones, until Sept. 26, lh. A.m., when the observations were discontinued. At 4h. 40w. an observation of the dip wat taken, giving a result greater than ordinary. The day. (Sept. 25) was cloudy throughout : about 9h. P.M , a few bright streamers were seen through the clouds, then nothing more till 1111. P.M., when an au roral arch, about 24 deg. high, was visible for a short time. It is desirable that accounts of corresponding obser vations of this disturbance should be collected. I invite observers who may have made observations on the same day to send to me abstracts of their observations, or to communicate them, in the way which they think best, to the public, or to the persons who are interested in mag netical phenomena. G. B. AIRY. This arose from the great inclination of the axis of the collimator (carried by the magnet) to the magnetic meridian; in consequence of which the pencil of rays passing through the object-glass of the collimator was thrown entirely on one aide of the object-glass of the theodolite. In ordinary cases, the change of angle has been sufficiently slow to allow the ob server to shift the suspension of the magnet, hut the rapid changes on Sept. 25 did not allow the observer to leave his place. Observations with the mirror in Gauss's manner are free from this inconvenience. /r MASONS' STRIKE. An adjourned meeting of the masons now on strike was held last evening at the Craven's Head, Drury-lane, for the purpose of receiving further Reports from the different delegates from the Trades' Unions of the metro polis. Mr. BUTLER took the Chair at nine o'clock. Several delegates delivered in their Reports, all con taining resolutions still to support the masons their present struggle. The SECRETARY then read the correspondence which has taken place between himself and different unions, throughout the country all eulogising the conduct of the masons, and embodying resolutions of the various so cieties to support them. Several members of different Unions delivered in their subscription papers, with the amount subscribed. Mr. LovArr said he had a resolution:to move, that a deputation do wait upon the Members of Parliament for the City of Westminster, to solicit their co-operation to bring this struggle to an honourable conclusion. He moved this resolution, as charges, and those serious charges, had been brought against the public authorities, and the Members for Westminster were the proper par ties to apply to, to take the matter up. Mr. DUNNING briefly seconded the resolution. He thought this was a course they ought to pursue. People must see the freshness and reality in a statement when that statement was founded on truth ; therefore, they ought certainly to bring this subject before Parliament. The resolution, after a short discussion, was put and carried. A resolution was then proposed to the deo t that two of the masons should be appointed as a deputation to at tend at the Westminster Hospital, to ascertain fully the facts connected with the man who had received an injury in the service of Messrs. Grissell and Peto, and who had been refused work subsequently by them. This resolution was also carried unanimously. We subjoin a list of the contributions received at this meeting:--- Society of Tailors, Three Doves, 51.; Carpenters Ist Society, Marquis of Granby, Castle-street, Oxford street, SL; from Wm. Nate, the sum of 175.; Mr. Alston, Painters, Horse and Groom, Great Portland street, 10/.; Mr. Millett, Cabinet-makers, Bald-faced Stag, Worship-square, Finsbury, 10/.; Messrs. J.

DISTRESS IN SPITALFIELDS. pt the Lord h subjecti ay or preliminaryoryesterday, the em distressft o i meeting held t e ho pr pur pose Mr. Nicholson, and-tther gentlemen who x t d in ka lia um b rs i de t a a i nts of the extensive district of Spitalfiel f t d , ge o t n y ves la t s o t great meeting,. of which waited upon the p p a o p se ers. of H p e os s t t p a o te ni d n by paragraphs in the news gthattheth gentlemen who had un dneorttiackeenhatod ae b t e h en given ad found it .a harder task than they at at'first considered it to be to get ready by F4day next, the day spoken of as the most proper to be appointed. They, therefore, waited upon the Lord Mayor with the following his,4h ordsehdlstaotice, to whi c h t h ey reques t e d t h e sanct i on o f p: -; , in Spitalfields having been found to be of a greater extent than was in the first instance known to the gentlemen who are anxious for a general meeting in the City, it is considered expedient to postpone the meeting intended to be held on Friday next, to give time for the formation of Committees, and to enable them to collect the fullest information as to the nature and extent of the distress." A number of highly respectable parties have already agreed to act upon the Committees, and their names will be advertised as soon as the list is filled up. " Subscriptions will, in the meantime, be most thank fully received by the Right Hon. the Lord Mayor." The LORD MAYOR approved of the determination to postpone the meeting, and expressed his belief that when it should be called, after the necessary preparations and deliberations, it would prove to be ono of great efficacy in accomplishing the object of the benevolent. Mr. NICHOLSON said that a strong feeling existed for relieving the poor, with whom the metropolis abounded, and he was sure that a vast deal more would be sub scribed than it would be necessary to distribute in th e locality of which he spoke. When the father of o ur present Queen presided at a meeting for the relief of the general distress, an'example was set which led to the subscription of two millions. The meeting upon the approaching occasion should be conducted upon the principle by which that to which he alluded was regu lated.-complete freedom from party feeling. The LORD MAYOR concurred in Mr. Nicholson's ob servations, and said that he would most willingly receive subscriptions until the day of meeting. MELANCHOLY CA SF.—An inquest was held at the Coroner's-office, Rotherham, on Wednesday, on view of the body of William Swift, of Rotherham, age d 27 years, who was accidentally shot, on Tuesday night, in the park of Lord Howard of Barbot Hall, with a gun with which he was about to shoot a dog.
