When we made our br i ef observations on t he revenue on Monday-, we were under the impression that the bulk of the corn imported last year was not entered till after the close of the quarter ending in October. On looking back, however, to public documents which we could not then lay our hands on, we have ascertained from the Parliamentary paper, No. 383, ordered to be printed on 'Tune 7, 1841, that the duty paid in July, 1840, on wheat and wheat-flour was 4,976/. ;in August, 63,1 401.; in September, 0 38,120/. ; and in October, 11039/., muking a total of 307,184/.. A small portion of this, but not a b ove 16 ,0001., might hav e been paid in the summer and winter quarters, bat we are disposed to believe that it was all paid between the sth July and the 10th of October. Now, we are not accurately in formed of the amount of duty paid on foreign corn during the late quarter, and we w ill not imitate our Contemporaries by i n d u l g i ng in con jectures when we shall no doubt soon be fur nished by some of our Ministerial Contempora ries with an accurate account. We know, how ever,t the bulk of the importations in the autumn r last year paid an average duty that ',the and we also the importations in the month of Septem ber just passed took place at the low duty of ls. and 2s. Bd. We are induced, therefore, to agree with our Tory Con temporaries, and aCknouledge that the duty paid on foreign corn in the quarter just passed did not equal the amount of duty paid on foreign corn in the corresponding quarter last year. We are willing, also, to recognize, in the increase of the Customs for the quarter just ended, a slight improvement in our trade; and willing to hope that the diabolical Corn-laws have not yet wholly crushed the - natural energies of the people. We derive from this circumstance the consolatory belief that it is not too late, much and grievously as the subject has been ne glected, to restore prosperity to the nation, by doing justice to the people. The Times of yesterday properly observes, that the constant growth of population will na turally occasion a continual advance in the pro duce of fixed imposts. That Journal recognises in that passage a natural source, independent of all legislation, for the continual increase of na tional wealth. In fact, that is the main, if not the sole, source of increased wealth, and the character of almost every enactment may be determined by ascertaining its influence on the growth of population. If we could possibly sup pose that the Corn-laws promoted health and prevented mortality, as is now said—if we could believe that to lay restrictions on trade was the way to promote national wealth, the Corn-laws would find no warmer advocates than we should be. We are disposed to test every enactment by its influence on the growth of population; and that the Corn-law curtails the supply of food, makes it much smaller than it otherwise would be, and so limits the increase of popula tion—causing all the deplorable evils, all the vice and crime, which are the known and invari able consequences of arresting the progress of population—is undeniable. Now that the Times is sensible that the source of national grzatness is the natural spring of population, we may expect that it should unite with us in endeavouring to procure the abolition of an enactment which im pedes the supply of food, and exposes our popu lation to dearth and pestilence. The statement of the Times is of importance, as acknowledging a natural, as contradistin guished from a legislative, source of national prosperity, which ought never, for one moment, to be lost sight of in forming our opinions of any system of Government. If the population increases at the rate of two per cent. every year, which is not equal to its actual increase in the period immediately prior to 1837, the revenue should increase at least in an equal ratio. Sup- pose it was 50,000,0001. in 1820, and no taxes h a d been abolished, it ought, in 1840, to have been 70,000,0001. In fact, it ought to have been greater, because ingenuity and skill increase with population, and wealth naturally augments in a compound ratio. There can be no manner of doubt, with our improved machinery, that the 24,000,000 people who now inhabit our empire produce consider ably beyond a third more than the 16,000,000 produced in 1820. Thus the wealth of the na tion and the produce of the revenue should in crease even faster than the increase of popula- tion, were no causes at work to deteriorate the condition of the people, and force them to a worse and worse kind of subsistence as they in- crease in numbers. In testing any legislative enactment, therefore, like the Corn-laws, it is not enough that its ad vocates can show no positive decrease in the na- tional prosperity; they ought to be able to de monstrate that it has not checked the natural in crease of people, that it has not deteriorated their condition, and that the wealth of the country and the revenue of the State have augmented in a compound ratio. The natural and healthy condi tion of society is rapid increase or great prospe rity; and where we find it replete with want, po verty, misery, and crime, those are impious as well as ignorant., who, to exonerate the rash and rapacious lawgiver, ascribe the national suffer ings to causes which he cannot control. He as sumes the power to regulate society, and he thereby makes himself fearfully responsible for all the sufferings of the people. The advertisement department of a newspaper s not usually consulted to supply matter for a eading article. On casting our eye, however, over our first page yesterday, we found an ad vertisement headed, " PENDRELL'S Patent Flexible Pen-holder," which immediately inter ested us, because we have felt occasionally in convenienced from holding the inflexible stick on which steel pens are fixed. The advertisement goes on, "to ensure ease and comfort in the use of steel pens, now in such general use, W. P. has, at great trouble and expense, constructed a pen holder possessing four great requisites—cheap ness, durability, neat and elegant appearance, and flexibility." We need not, however, repeat the advertisement, giving Mr. PENDRELL double publicity for his single payment, for our purpose is answered when we have placed Mr. PENDRELL before the public as the representative of a class, which is very numerous, and most skilful, and of which the unceasing business is, to devise means to promote the "ease and comfort" of their fel low-creatures. A greater part of the advertise ments which are published every day, like Mr. PENDRELL'S, are intended to inform the public where they may obtain ease and comfort, food and clothing, and luxuries. In that circumstance we trace a principle of kindness or benevolence actively at work. It is man contributing to supply the wants of man, and even anxious to make himself particularly useful in supplying them. When a certain class of gentlemen write about destroy ing our marts of trade, it is right to observe that this principle of kindness or benevolence is the principle of trade, and is common nearly to all dealers in almost every commodity. They all strive to provide for us useful things. It is not confined to dealers; it extends to manufac turers. Mr. PENDRELL is a manufacturer; and the great mass of the manufacturers, whether they make gossamer-like veils for the fair sex, which merely add to their charms without giv ing them shade or shelter, or whether they ma nufacture dreadnought cloth to protect the rougher sex from the storms they must brave, the great mass of manufacturers consider, day after day, and night after night, how they can make their various productions more usefill, more attractive, and more agreeable to their fel low - creatures. Neither is this desire confined to those who manufacture for the body; it per vades the whole of the productive classes, and is as conspicuous in authors who study how to write agreeable or useful books, in artists who rack their brains to illustrate and adorn them, and in newspaper proprietors, who spare no expense nor trouble to get information from all parts of the world, as in the humblest maker of serge or camlet. Of all the labours of all the classes engaged in manufacture arid trade, the living principle of existence, therefore, is to devise or produce something useful or agreeable to their fellow -creatures. The principle of uni versal benevolence, therefore, would seem to be involved in the system of manufacture and trade, if it lie not at the foundation of them. (Whether this principle also lie at the bottom of all civilization, or not, it cannot be denied that the progress of trade and manufactures, and of civilization, have gone hand in hand. When the historian of navigation traces it from E g yp t to Greece, from Greece to Carthage and Rome, from Carthage and Rome to Venice and Genoa, from the Italian Republics to Portugal, Holland, and England, he also traces the progress of civilization. The two are inseparable, and it is not from national prejudice that we say that the civilization of England is as much supe rior to that of France as her trade and manufac- tures are more extensive. The same principle of universal kindness or benevolence which we trace in Mr. PENDRP.LL'S advertisement is con- spicuous in the behaviour of every retail dealer, THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 13. 1841 1 -1 0•7 ,, ” ^ : •1^"" Lis col leagues and the ill health of the other, which obliged him to quit the country.

The ship Akbar has arrived at Liverpool from• New York, which place she left on Sunday, Sept. 26 ; but there is no intelligence received other than that already communicated by the Great Western steamer. The next steam-ship due at Liverpool is the Caledo nia. She was to leaie Boston on the Ist, and Halifax on the 3d, or early on the morning of the 4th, therefore We may expect to hear of her by Friday, and as it is generally expected she will bring the result of the trial of M'Leod. her arrival is looked forward to by all parties with intense anxiety. By a vessel arrived at Cowes, papers from Rio de Janeiro to the 22d AUgust have been received. They do not contain any political news of importance. Ex change on England 31, and the Six per Cent.

They, acquire thereby a habit of deference to others, and ofrespect for their wishes, tliatbeCom es I the habit of their society, and is the essence of civilization. The desire to serve implies depend ence of some kind or other, and the principle of universal benevolence in trade is synonymous with the mutual and universal dependence of all the traders. The savage is an isolated and self-dependent man, and the acme of civilisation is to reduce all, without exception, within the circle of mutual and universal dependence. Such a description of the desires, exertions and principles of traders, is calculated to excite our wonder, that they have not been more Isuccessful in promoting civilization; but our wonder ceases when we trace iu all the countries of Europe the hand of Government dili gently at work to counteract and impede the operation of the benevolent desires of traders. Trade is considered in many States as ignoble. That national tariffs, by interrupting national intercourse, impede the extension of commerce, and prevent the mutual dependence and mutual interests of nations from extinguishing fierce political rivalry and political enmity, is well known; and it must now be equally apparent that laws interfering with the home trade, to enrich one class at the expense of others, put rivalry and enmity between those whom trade makes mutually dependent and mutually friendly. Naturally, for example, no classes lare more mutually dependent one on the other, than manufacturers and agriculturists, but the Corn-law has put strife between them, and almost made them regard each other as the worst of enemies. The Legis lature which impedes trade and builds palaces, as the Tories recommend—which narrows in terchange and communication, and pays artists and buys pictures—which our landlords prac tise, in order to promote civilization—acts as un-' wisely as the parent who should instruct his children how to adorn their persons, set them an immoral example, and forbid them to learn any honest business, The true way to promote civi lization is to give full swing to that desire to benefit others—to minister to their ease and comfort, which is common to all trades, and which is plainly set forth in Mr. PENDRELL'S advertisement, as the motives for his ingenious exertions. A few days ago Mr. ARNOLD, the Revising.. Barrister for Westminster, decided, on good con stitutional grounds, that Peers had not a right to vote for Members of the House of Commons, and he struck Lord DINORBEN, and other Peers, off the register for Westminster. The day be fore yesterday Mr. COVENTRY, the Revising- Barrister for Marylebone, took an opposite view, and as there is, he said, no law to prevent Peers voting at elections, but only a resolution of the House of Commons, he decided that Lord BRIDPORT, and fourteen other Peers, who live in Marylebone, should be placed on the register. Such is the certainty and precision of that rule by which we are required to guide our conduct, and which Barristers and Judges, while they call it law, make out of their own heads. Practically we apprehend Mr. COVENTRY'S decision will be set aside in case of a disputed election. The Commons, in virtue of their own resolution, that Peers shall not interfere with elections, would strike off every vote given by a Peer, and as they alone are the judges in all election matters, they would, in fact, give their resolution the paramount authority of law. The Learned Barrister is technically correct in saying that a resolution of the House of Commons is not the law of the land; but, practically he is in correct, for the resolution will have the authority of law, and whenever the votes of the Peers shall come in question before a Committee of the House they will be expunged. The Emperor of CHINA has offered a reward of a hun4red thousand dollars and promotion to the fourth rank to any one who shall send him, fo? preservation in the Imperial Museum at Pekin, the head of Captain ELLIOT. But for the un seemly habit in which his Imperial MAJESTY in dulges, of severing the heads to which he takes a fancy from the shoulders, we should recom mend the merchants engaged in the China trade to address a petition to our Gracious SOVEREIGN, praying her to make the Emperor of CHINA a present of the ex-Plenipotentiary. Indeed the CeleStials must entertain a pr o di g i ous op i n i on of the disinterekedness of the British residents in China, seeing that the offer of a hundred thou sand dollars failed to purchase from them the most incompetent and mischievous head in the foreign community. Not to take a hundred thousand dollars for a head which they would have gladly given five times that sum to get rid of in any way more consonant to European ideas, must have argued in the minds of the Celestials extra ordinary disinterestedness. Let but the Em peror of CHINA promise to allow Capt. ELLIOT'S head to remain on its own familiar shoulders, and let the dollars and the promotion be be stowed upon him, and we have not the slightest objection to his " gratifying the Imperial glance" by the appearance of the ex-Plenipotentiary at any of the six Boards to which the Son of Hea ven may promote him. The brood of ELLIOT is happily one which we need indulge no fears of becoming extinct in England; and if, in the process of time, the EMPEROR should desire to increase the stock in his Celestial dominions, it is more than possible that we shall be able to ac commodate him with as many as he may require. As for Captain ELLIOT himself, his proclama tions addressed to the Chinese prove how severe a student he is in all the arts which constitute the requisites for exalted office at the Court of Pekin. His bombast is unrivalled in the full and swelling volume of its inflation. His enumeration of his titles is performed with a self-complacent minute exactness which bids defiance to Celestial rivalry. 'We had thought we knew something of Captain ELLIOT'S rank and pretensions here, but on glancing at his proclamation to the people of Canton, dated the 2:2d of May, we find that his Excellency is of quite a different opinion. He there styles him self " the high officer of the great flourishing nation," " a public officer and a great Minister" —titles to which the people of England have for some time suspected his claim. These titles the ex-Plenipotentiary several times repeats, and to prove to the Chinese the terrible consequences of provoking his wrath, he assails them with a distich of doggerel worthy of a Pekin Court lau reate. The admonitory hint to the people of Canton, expressed with the true Mandarin gra vity, " 0 ye people, try and think a little !" is one which they had little reason to expect from such a quarter. Should the Emperor of CHINA decline to receive him on the conditions we propose, his proclamations alone ought to obtain for him, and his heirs and successors law fully begotten; from his own countrymen, the distinguished title of Mandarin ELLIOT. Sir LE FLEMING SENH.OUSE said that he would rather have died and been buried under the walls of Canton than have signed the dis graceful terms of the 27th of May for the evacuation of that city; and the Canton Register states that the .ruin of his country's honour and interests in China caused that gallant officer to die of a broken heart. There cer- tainly never was a greater sacrifice ofinchnation, and of the promptings of an enlarged patriotism, and a sound policy to the dictates of strict military subordinate duty, than .in the re tirement of the British forces from Canton at the command of such a nincompoop as EL LIOT. The lively indignation which the hn becile conduct of this functionary has every where excited, has prompted some of our Tory Contemporaries, not only to insist upon knowing the full extent of the powers entrusted to him, but likewise to demand how it hap pened that the late Government promoted him to a trust so responsible. They seem not to know that Captain ELLIOT was not sent out from. England as Princip a l P lenipotentiary. He wkla but one of three Commissioners, and only at- TEM FUNDS.

WOMBWELL'S GIRAFFE.— e Carlisle papers announce with regret the serious boa ; sustained by Mr. Wombwell in the death of one of his beautiful giraffes. It will be recollected that the ani nal had accidentally dislocated its long and graceful net about six weeks ago, and, although the injury had bee a reduced with the utmost care, and the supervening effa 3ts most judiciously counteracted, on Monday morn ing the animal died suddenly, shortly after having taken its food with apparent relish. For some time hopes w( e entertained of a favourable result ; but there was so ri:ething in the manner of the sagacious creature at betrayed a consciousness of its approaching di ;g o lvtion, and, indeed, when the ' extent of the ch sracter of its injuries were ascertained it was only we ~tb derftil how it survived so long. After death the bo • was examined by Mr. J. Carlisle, veterinary sur ge( ,of Wigton, who attended her throughout, and whoa ,e attention and skill were fully appreciated by Mr. Won ibwell. The examination showed the articulation form ed by the fourth and fifth cervical vertebrae was mud ' injured, the ligaments which connect the two bones being ; completely torn asunder, and the body of the fifth veite bra was literally shattered to pieces, and by some s7ldd 2n jerk of the neck it appeared a portion of the f i act ured bone was displaced, and injured the spinal in 'ow, which accounts for her sudden and unexpected d sat ..h. -- - ~ ai r.

The French Journals of Monday have not yet arrived. The cause of detention we take to be the inclement state of the weather. The Prussian State Gazette of the 7th instant con tains the official announcement that the King has allowed Baron von Werther to resign his portfolio as Minister for Foreign Affairs, 'and has entrusted the said portfolio to Count von Maltzan, Prussian Ambassador at the Court of Vienna. Baron von Werther is to retain the direction of the affairs of the principality of Neufchatel and Vulang,in, and is at the same time raised to the dignity of High Marshal. I PUBLIC OPINION. The Morning Post recommends that for the protec tion of the industry of our own. artizans, there should be restrictive rules established against spurious imitations, so as to hinder the importation of imitative articles which come into competition with the honest workman ship of British tradesmen. Our Contemporary adds:— " Great care should be taken to prevent smuggling, and when these foreign imitative articles are fairly entered at the Custom-house, they should he charged at the highest ad valorem duty which a genuine well-manufac tured article of the kind would pay. Of course the Custom-house should not, in this instance, be bound to keep the articl e a t th e va l ue put upon it ;for if it were, the transaction would be a very losing one. But our readers, we think, will see that some public protection is due to British industry against the sort of competition with which some branches of it have to contend. There is nominally, a protecting duty, but it is evaded by a system of imitation of genuine articles, and a consequent cheap ness with which the British manufacturer cannot con tend, unless he also abandons honest workmanship for the sake of attending merely to cheapness and outside show. This no honest Government can wish that he should do." The iferaldprofeses great regret that the " rancour of party feeling" should so long have prevented the talents of Lord - Ellenborough from being available to the em pire, observing—" Everybody who has watched his career in the House of Lords, or listened to the speeches de livered by him there, on questions connected with Indian affairs, will have satisfied himself of his Lord ship's mastery of their multifarious details ; his exten sive knowledge of the principles of the Mahemedan and of the Hindoo laws, and his consummate acquaintance with the Acts of the British Parliament that have been passed, in connection with those subjects. There are few men in either House of Parliament who are better read in the modern history of the great European States, or more conversant with the treaties and diplomatic con ventions which comprise the bases of their existing re lations. Combining this knowledge with that which his official experience on Indian affairs has already acquired for him in so remarkable a degree, we must protest that we d o no t k now into what hands the government of British India could be confided with prospects more encouraging to the welfare, the ecurity, and the improvement of that country or of this."— We do not see how Lord Ellenborough's acquaintance with European States qualifies him for being Governor- General of India, where the system of policy is wholly different from any pursued in Europe ; but let that pass ; there is one Radical objection to his administering In dian affairs ; and that is, his obstinate, impracticable character, which has often embarrassed his own party. He is one of these who would make circumstances bend to him, rather than himself bend to circumstances. Of the extent of his sagacity we have some doubts. It is clear that he knows a " ,tame elephant" from a wild one; but we have never heard of anything in his political career that should lead us to infer that he was in the slightest degree remarkable for superior statesmanship. The Chronich says :—" The three inseparable inci dents' which constitute a monopoly,' according to the old English legal acceptation, are embodied in the Corn law; and the evidence of the presence of these incidents of monopoly would have rendered void any Royal grant or letters patent by whi c h th e exclusive privileges of the Corn-law might have been conferred. The Corn-law raises the price, deteriorates the commodity, and im poverishes the artificer. It might so happen that the legal definition by which a monopoly was tested, and its operation rendered void, would be at war with com mon sense and with science. We say it might so happen. But in the three inseparable incidents' of monopoly, the presence of which rendered the monopoly legally void, we have the very objections of common sense and of science, expressed at a time when the rudiments of poli tical economy were in a chaotic state, even in the mind of Bacon. To think that any benefit is derived by a community from the enhanced price of an article is one of those absurdities which we hope will be regarded ere long in the same light as would now be the burning of an old woman for a witch." The Times. thus comments on an article that appeared in its columns yesterday, on the subject of the policy to be pursued in the event of a war with America :—" In a question of how effectually to make war, must not the prevalent military opinion be, in most cases, the correct one? All military men will see, at a glance, that the south is the weak side of the United States. The first duty of every Government which becomes unhappily engaged in war is to bring that war to the speediest termination that can possibly be devised. It owes this both to itself and to mankind. But the speediest path to a successful issue must be by striking at once an effec tual blew. To begin by annoying, scheming, temporiz ing, like Captain Elliot at Canton, is most unsafe policy. The wonderful successes of Bonaparte were all owing to his constant practice to be prepared to strike a sudden blow the very instant he had declared peace to be at an end. Such a blow might be struck in the south ; and nowere else. There 5,000 free negroes transported from Jamaica, with 10,000 stand of arms, would dissolve the Union within a month ; and, be it remembered, there are tens of thousands in the Northern States who would wish success to the invaders, and would lend no hand to fight for the maintenance of slavery." In reference to her Majesty's speech on the proro gation, the Brighton Guardian remarks :—" It has been remarked that Sir Robert Peel is one of the greatest egotists alive. He can see or hear nothing but Peel, his talents, and his power. His speeches always turn on what he has done, said, or thought. There is for him nothing in the world substantial or real ; but all is hollow, worthless Peel. A fourth part of the speech is therefore appropriately employed in telling the Par liament the important truth that he—always speaking, however, in the name of the innocent lady whose power the aristocracy have usurped—has formed a new Ad ministration." The Dublin Pilot observes of the Queen's Speech : " The first Session of the Tory Parliament was brought to a most lame and impotent conclusion' on Thursday, in what, according to Parliamentery parlance, is called a most gracious Speech from the Throne.' !loyal Speeches at the best are but unsatisfactory documents. The Speech delivered on Thursday, however, by the Lords Commissioners, was meagre and unsatisfactory beyond the common. It seemed as if the concoctors had clubbed their ingenuity to produce words utterly devoid of meaning; and it must certainly be admitted that they have admirably succeeded.`' The Tyne MercUrY makes the folrowing observations on the Queen's Speech :—" Of all the Kings' or Queens' Speeches we ever had the trouble of examining, this is one of the most extraordinary, and to the public mus: be considered one of the least satisfactory. In the first place, the distress would seem to be only in some o f th e manufacturing districts ; whereas, if any impartial per son will take the trouble of looking through the news, papers of the country at large, he will not find a great town, nay hardly a village or a hamlet, to which this dis tress has not penetrated. This is one of the many proofs that the present Ministry know not what they arc doing, where they stand, what they have to deal with, or what is to become of the country. It would seem to show that they care nothing whatever about the country at all!!" AZONMY-TRADE-COATIVIER.CE. " We hear with great pleasure," says the Liverpool Albion, " that trade during the past week has been bet ter than for any similar period for some time back. In the sugar market there has been a brisk and extensive. demand, and the cotton market continues active. The imports of produce hare generally bee: heavy during the week." The Manchester Courier states that the yarn market continues much in the same state as it was in last week. LAW AND POLICE. Yesterday a young man, about nineteen years of age, son of Mr. Nixon, a respectable attorney residing in Queen's-square, Bloomsbury, was brought before the Magistrate at Hatton-garden, at the instance of the father, who saw him wandering about the streets begging, and in a most deplorable state. It appeared every means had been tried in vain to reclaim the lad from his bad habits, and he was committed for one month to the House of Correction with hard labour. Francis Pocock, butler to Mr. Thompson, a respect able surgeon residing in Berners-street, was committed to the tread-mill for three months, for behaving in a dis graceful manner towards two young ladies in Brunswick place, Regent's Park.

At the weekly meeting of the Repeal Association, held on the 11th, at Dublin, Mr. O'Connell announced that a contribution of 160/. had been received by the Great Western from their liberty-loving friends in America. The Repeal cry, he said, was spreading like wild-fire through every district in the United States.--No doubt the Yankees would rejoice to see this country divided against itself. A Texas editor, speaking of the " tremendous" success of his paper, says he has had three new subscribers within two months, and a gallon of whiskey for inserting a couple of marriages.

On Thursday afternoon, during a heavy thunder storm, a considerable shower of fishes fell from the clouds, about a mile north-east of Dunfermline.—Had there been a shower of " loaves" as well as " fishes," and had both been of the right sort, not a Tory in the neigh bourhood but would have been out in the shower, with out his umbrella. We understand that Mr. Dickens intends shortly to take a trip to America, and that Master Iluinphrey's Clock will stop in November.

The Tyne Mercury states that the postage on letters now passing through the LTlverstone Post-office amounts to more than was produced under the old system. It is perfectly in keeping with what we know of the dishonest and rapacious character of the Tories that, in adopting the "silent system" of Government, they should take the leading ideas of their policy from Newgate. nurezouns or THE 32.13. - 7.

DEATH OF COLONEL ELLts.--The death of Colonel Ellis, 60th, is thus recorded in a Kingston (Ja maica) paper:—" It is our painful duty to announce the demise of the Hbri. Angustus P. Ellis, Colonel of the 2d battalion of th e 60 t h Rifl es , an d son of Lord Seaford, a large proprietor of estates in this island. Colonel Ellis fell a sacrifice to his extreme anxiety and exertions for the brave men who were under his command, and for whom he entertained a feeling of almost parental regard. Our readers have heard of the dreadful mortality which has visited this noble corps since its arrival here. On the sensitive mind of Colonel Ellis it had a powerful effect. He saw his men falling daily before him, and death making awful havoc among those in whose wel fare he felt a deep interest. Anxiety, added to the ener vating influence of an exceedingly warm and unhealthy season, predisposed him for the disease, which proved fatal." The 60th Rifles have lost three Lieutenant- Colonels by death within the list few months.—Limerick Chronicle.. • TREATMENT OF DRESS MAKERS' ASSIST ANTS.—And how do these 15,000 young females live ? and how are they treated ? A plain unvarnished narra tive shall answer the question. The usual hour at which dress-makers' assistants commence their labours is seven in the morning, and that at which they clOse for the day, is eleven at night. One half hour more elapses before they can retire to rest, and in order to be ready to resume their needle at seven in the morning, they must at least got up by half-past six. The average amount of time, therefore, which is allotted them for rest dues not exceed seven hours. This would be obviously too little for delicate female frames—especially at the critical time of life at which by far the largest portion of these girls are apprenticed—even were their labours light and of short duration during the day. But the very reverse is the painful fact; th e y ply t h e nee dl e w i t h out a moment's intermission, save the twenty or thirty mi nutes allowed them for eating their meals, from the time they enter the work-room, until they have quitted it fur the night. Now, surely it needs no medical genius to tell us, that to poor young delicate creatures thus worn out day after day for a succession of months, with four teen or fifteen hours' unremitting toil, seven hours' repose is not only inadequate to meet the requirements of nature, but must be attended with the greatest perils . to the constitution. Nor ought Ito omit the mention of the fact, that the little repose allowed them, is ,deprived of its beneficial effects by the circumstance of from ten to twelve of their number being compelled to sleep in one small confined bedroom.—Lights and Shadows of London Life, by the Author of " The Great Metropolis." Last Tuesday having been the quarterly general meeting of the Governors of the Greville-stre e t U oya l Free Hospital fur the destitute sick, a report of the pro , ceedings for the last three months was, as usual, sub mitted for the information of the Governors of th e Charity, whence it appeared that during that p er i o d 119 persons have been received into the wa r d s , and ' 2 764 relieved as out-patients. Notwithstanding th e im ' inensity of good which has been thus afforded to a class of beings the most wretched in existence, we were sorry to learn, that the Committee have b een an d a re still obliged, fro prudential motives, to keep a great many beds unoccupied, although the applications for ad mission are most numerous and most urgent.
