They are so exactly formed to nature, both in shape and colour, that the closest observer cannot detect the difference, with this advantage—they never change colour, decay, or wear ant ; and a complete set, on fine gold, for which they will only charge 15 to 18 guineas, will last for 20 years or upwards, and are far superior to those usually charged 30 sr 40 guineas; a single tooth, one guinea; three ditto, two guineas and a half.

This Work, a Seventh Edition of which is now presented te 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 overlookid, or treated almost with indiffer ence, b the ordinary medical p rac titi oner . Th e p r overbial and wdl known rapacity of unqualified practitioners, who traffic on 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 fur a considerable time devoted themselves ex clusively to a certain class of diseases ; of the necessity of so doing;they were further convinced by feeling that tact in in vestigating the latent sources of many disease.,, which arise from certain secret practices, can only be acquired by an ex clusive and undivided attention to this department of medical practice. The numberless instances daily occurring, wherein affections of the lungs, putting on all the outer appearances of consumption, which, however, when traced to their source, are found to result from certain baneful practices, fully proves that the principle of the division of labour, is nowhere more applicable than in medical practice. We feel no hesitation in saying that there is ne member of society by whom the book will not be found useful, whether such person hold the relation of a Parent, a Preceptor, or a Clergyman. The PARENT, who beholds his beloved child pining away, and fast approaching to a premature grave, in conse quence of some disease, which, for want of careful investiga tion of its real cause, has been set down to the score of con sumption, will, on perusing this work, be astonished to find, that in nine -tenths of the cases of young persons if both sexes, who perish of what is called pulmonary consumption, heart disease, takes, &c., the sole and exclusive origin has been the indulgence in certain destructive habits practised by youth much mo re f requen tly than it is a t a ll suspected. The PRECEPTOR, also, who holds (temporarily at least), the relation and responsibility of a parent, will, by . perusing this work, be directed and very much assisted in investigating and detecting the too often con cealed practices so often introduced into schools, whereby the health and ultimately the lives of bis pupils ate sure te be com promised, unless the evil be arrested in proper time. He will here find a duo to guide him through the intricate mazes of this moral labyrinth, and a standard whereby to judge, when delicacy of health should appear to attack any of his young charges, what the rea l causes of such attack may be, and thus he will be enabled to check the evil in its incipient state. The CLERGYMAN, in whose sacred character is at once conce n t ra ted the two-fold relation of parent and inst r u c t or , w ill here be directed as to the nature of those habits to which youth is addicted ; he will also be enabled to point out the d s astrous consequences which aro sure te follow from them if no t relinquished.

FROM THE MORNING PAYERS OF THIS DAY. - - TIMES.—Those who have watched the movements of the tea speculators since the cominencenem e , of hosti lities with China, must h?ve observed that :el . :reale' a month has passed without the appearance of some fabri -1 cation likely to cause an increase of business. The time selected for such fabrications is invariably about a fbrt night after the arrival of the overland mail, and w h en the excitement which the intelligence really received may have produced has in some measute subsided. Sonic times Russia is fixed on as the medium of conunuaiset don between this country and China ; sometimes a Lon don merchant has by some unaccountable means or other been the fortunate receiver'of a letter containing exclu sive intelligence of some barbarity committed by the Chief of the Celestial Empire, which, while it is of the greatest public importance, if true, has by some curium contingency been sent 'to him alone. To such let ters, in addition to the valuable political inforeaation they contain, is generally appended a postscript of a commercial nature, wherein the writer dwells with apparent regret on the circumstance that the stock of tea is fast decreasing, and that furthei supplies must not be looked for. In one or two instances enough ingenuity has been exercised by the fabricatais of "later news" from China, to render the receipt of the letters Just possible, though exceedingly improbable, while, in mos t cases, there is a total absence of such tact, and the discrepancies of dates render the attempts utterly harm less, especially as the public have continually been ace quiring fresh experience in simila r manceuvres . A great deal of am esement was occasioned to-day by a fresh im port of suc h Chinese intelligence, w hi c h, judging from the extraordinary' manner in which it is said to have been received, and b ee wholesale manner in 'iviiich cala mities affecting the ete -nmerce of the country are an nounced. particularly i n reference to the important article tea, has all the feattjas of its Tredecessore, with the additional characteristae that it . seems de signed to give a little impetus •to the rhubarb trade. The letter containing this intelligence was, it is an nounced, slipped into the Bombay steamer on the 19th of June, and after lying harmlessly at Paris ever since the arrival of the overland .mail, suddenle' monde its ap pearance in that metropolis yesterday. Th e _intolligenco is to the effect that the - Emperor hase - orderec: ail- taaSe rhubarb, and other articles, necessary for the Eas e siNla to be destroyed, be (the Emperor). promising to incleaanifY the owners of such articles out of his own pocket,. with the further calamities that tea-smuggling has been un successful, and that great activity has been shown is sending out fire-ships. The stated failure cif the tea- smuggling at first gave a suspicious appearance to the intelEgence, from its correspondence tyth the outcry lately rai se d h ere a b out t h e decreasing stocks in _hand ; the gratuitous liberality of the Emperor in ortierinealis subjects to burn th e i r p ro p er t y , w hil e h e paid forit, was ~6 0 little in accordance with his known predilection for syme silVer that it made it still more incredible, an:,' when it was reflected on that so important a letter was allowed to lie in obscurity for upwards of a fortnight, the flimsy fabra cation was at once seen through. Some suggest that the- Chinese advices may hav e b een concocted in Miheing lane, and thence sent to Paris for the sake of immediate return, while the generality acquit Mincing-lane, saying , - that the speculators ther e wou ld hardly have hien parties' to so bungling a hoax. At the Jerusalem ColTee-houee, where persons of the greatest experience in Indian and Chinese business assemble, the announcement was disbe lieved from the beginning, and treated with ridicule. In Mincing-lane, however, there was a great disposition to take it more seriously, and teas fluctuated about 2d. per lb. Susceptible, however, as this market has of late been, and ready to move at reports which have the slightest approximation to probability, it is evident the news was not much regarded even here, as-,.teas otherwise must have rise from 4d. to Gd. per lb. We may add; that in the price of rhubarb there is no corresponding advanee. HERALD.—The intelligence one month later in date from Macao (China), received by extraordinary express from Paris and communicated in a second edition of the Herald to-day, created a considerable excitement in the city, and 'especially in the tea market among the dealers. The prices of that commodity advanced upon the strength of it full 2d per lb. ' There was a good -deal of di ecuss l cat about the probable corr ec t ness o f the news thus received and the passibility of its transmission in the way de scribed.

After the determination of Sir Robert Peel to re-elact Mr. Shaw Lefevre to the Speakership, we feel far from easy as to other appointments. Who can say what the Tory leader may not do next? If, upon reviewing his host of three hundred and seventy Members, he cannot find a man fit to be Speaker amongst them, what the deuce can they be fit for? It is rather hard that they should begin by borrowing a man from the Liberal side, and if qualifications, and not party considerations, are to regulate appointments, where is the rule to stop? Sir Robert Peel, upon a candid examination, may find Lord Melbourne better fitted than- himself to be first Lord of the Treasury, and Lord John Russell incomparably better qualified than any of his followers for the Colo nial Department. Really, after beginning with Mr. Shaw Lefevre, we tremble lest they should steal the whole Liberal Administration. Certainly there is as much reason for continuing Lord Melbourne in the Trea sury as Mr. Shaw Lefevre in the Chair. The Liberal party have obviously no right to the re election of Mr. Shaw Lefevre, as, in the election of Mr. Abercromby, it proceeded on the principle that the Speaker should represent the majority of the House. The Tories, then, should find their own man for the Chair, and it is hard to suppose that they have not amongst them the very mediocre ablities and common place qualities that suffice to make a tolerable Sp ea k er . It is quite a grievance that with their large majority they should begin by taking a Speaker from the ranks of their opponents. This is as if a fishmonger were to cry out 'stinking fish before he opened shop, and to borrow a salmon from his rival over the way. And hoiv is it that Mr.' Goulburn has - got stale 'so soon? Could he not keep sweet for two years? So lately ago as in '39 he was started for the Speakership, on the score of his pre-eniinent qualifications, against Mr. Shaw Lefeirre, and is he not as fit for the office now as he was then? 'There is Mr. Wynn, too, who has this rare qualification for the Speakership, that the fear of hearing him speak would repress the disposition to anything out of order. Sir Robert Peel surely thinks too meanly of his party in supposing that it cannot even furni s h a Speaker. We would comfort them as Brummell consoled his friend R., who complained that Brummell had been of a party in which it was said that he, the said R., was not fit to carry garbage to the Devil, adding, " How unkind it was of you, a friend, to sit by and hear me so underrated with out taking my part."—" I did take your part," relied Brummell, warmly.—" Why, what did you say?" in quired R., eagerly.—" Say," answered Brummell, " why, r said the very reverse of what they said against you ; I said you were quite fit to carry garbage to the Devil." We spare the modesties of Mr. Goulburn or Mr. Wynn the application. As the good old proverb has it, "Let every herring hang by its own head, and every tub stand on its, own bottom." So let it be with parties. Let us have no picking and choosing, no borrowing, no saying here is a very handy article, which I should like to keep, &c. In two years, or less, the Liberals will have their .own Speaker again in an honest way, and meanwhile, why should they help the Tories with a man ? But undoubt edly, if the Tories, for want of a plausible, decent person, will insist on electing Mr. Lefevre, it is a sort of raid which cannot be resisted. We are sorry that their po verty in very ordinary qualifications drives them to such 'shifts, because, amongst other considerations, we should have regarded the election of Mr. aoulburn with satis faction, for this reason, that it would have kept him out of the Chancellorship of the Exchequer. Better for the economy of the nation to bestovi on such a man a wilder ness of speakerships than the power of mal-administer ing the finances of the country ; and if for no other rea son than tiat he should not be Chancellor of the Exche quer, Mr. Gouiburn should be elected Speaker. But Sir Robert Peel has no compassion for the country, and. in stead of putting Mr. Gpulburn where he may exercise the highest faculties that ti:e in him in crying " Order," he will place him where he Will disorder all things.-- Examiner. TORY GOVERNMENT.—In the Annual Re. gistcr for 1830, we have the following picture of the state of things which prevailed over more than one-third of England when the Tories went out of office, and handed over the government of the empire to the Whigs, after have been in power well nigh fifty years :—" Night after night new conflagrations were lighted up by bands of incendiaries ; corn-stacks, barns, farm-buildings, and live stock were indiscriminately consumed. Bolder bands attacked mills and demolished machinery. All protection for property seemed to be at an end. Bands of rioters pillaged and destroyed during the day, and as soon as night fell in, simultaneous conflagrations, start ing up in different quarters, spread over the country con sternation and dismay. The military force in the dis turbed districts was daily increased ; and proclamations were issued, offering rewards of 500/. for the apprehen sion and conviction of any person engaged in wilful fire-raisings ; and a Special Commission was ordered to proceed into the counties where the outrages were c orn _ 'flitted." THE IRON WAR STEAMER PHLEGETHON. —We perceive, by the Calcutta papers, brou g h t b y the India mail, that this vessel, which was built by Mr. John Laird, of North Birkenhead, for the East India Company, has arrived at that port. She is about 500 tons measurement, armed with two ' 32- pounders and other small gulls, and is exactly the same size and model as the former iron war-steamer, the N emes i s. She was to sail for China about the middle of J une, to join the expedition. It was reported in the Bombay papers that two armed iron steamers, the Ariadne and Medusa, both built by Mr. Laird, each carrying two 26-pounders would be ordered to China : they would make an effec-• tive flotilla of four powerful iron armed steamers at tached to the expedition ; and from the • services ren.. dered by the Nemesis, arc likely to prove a great acqui sition. The following extract of a letter, dated Cal cutta, June 5, gives an account of the J.'hlegethon " I am too full of bu s i ness to wr i te at length j ust now ; but you will be delighted to hear we arrived at this place n an t d he eng.in 22d e, . s of last month, as sound in hull, boilers, l as s, and when a la ' , we e •g left E ar n e gl o a f n s d ioL Ve y have bad weather.

England and India."-- LAUNCH OF THE TRAFALGAR.—CURIOUS COINCIDENCE:— It is worthy of notice, that amongst the persons on board the Trafalgar when that vessel was recently launched at Woolwich, was a gentleman named Chasteneuf, who has for a long time resided in 'Wool wich as a professor of the French language. This gentleman, at an early period of life, entered into the French naval service, and was at the battle of Trafalgar, being then a midshipman on board a seventy - f O ur, name Le Dnketroim. This vessel escaped after the ac tion, but was captured a few weeks afterwards, off Cape Finisterre, by (we behave) Sir George St rong. Mon sieur Chasteneuf was taken prisoner, and sub s equently becoming naturalized, settledin England, where he has since resided. 10S,G00 cz. 13,0G1) 24,1-18 2,500 ----- - The veracity of the following remarkable in stance of longevity may be readily observed by any per son who chooses to consult the parish register of St. Leonard, Shoreditch :—" Thomas Carn died the 28th of January, 1588, at the astonishing age of 207 years.

Stn,—May I request that you will favoai:me by in serting in the next publication of your paper th'e enclosed letter, addressed by me to - the Editor of the Morning Post, at the close of last weak. I am induced to hope you will comply with my re quest, because I have no other object than that of cor recting the erroneous impre.;ision which a part of my speech (as reported in the Morning Post) at the dinner given by the Navy and Marines at Portsmouth on the Gth of August to Sir Robert' Stopford, is calculated to produce.—l am, Sir, your obedient servant, THOMAS HASTINGS, Captain, R.N. Excellent, Portsmouth, Aug. 16, 1841. TO THE EDITOR OP THE MORNING POST. STR,—The speech I made at the dinner given to Ad miral Sir Robert Stopford by the Navy and Marines at Portsmouth, on the 6th of August, 1841, on proposing the health of Sir Charles Napier, the Captains. Officers, Seamen, and Marines, who, so nobly supported him on the coast of Syria, has not been correctly reported, and there has been so entire an omission of a most important part of it, that I feel myself called on to request that you will publish some explanatory remarks. As head of the gunneryestablishment, which has received such con stant support and liberal encouragement from the Lords of. the Admiralty, I feel it incumbent on me to correct this omission, and to do justice to the utmost of my power. I must premise that I only reached Portsmouth an hour before the dinner on flip 6th took place ; that I did not know I should be callcOn to propose any toast, till I took M)% seat at table,--fttir§eLiound a -printed list of toasts, from which it appeared that Colonel Jones, the Commandant of the Portsmouth div Won of Royal Ma rines, was to have proposed the before-named toast, but, as he was ill, his name had been erased, and mine writ ten down instead. I was, therefore, taken by surprise, and if any thing in my speech can be construed to im ply that I meant to give Sir Howard Douglas a priority over Sir John Pechell, in the introduction of the present gunnery system, my words must have borne a meaning I never intended them to convey. What I stated was that " Sir Howard's publication, printed in 1819, introduced the question of gunnery more generally to the notice of the Navy." A reference to dates will prove that the view I take of this question is correct. In the year 1814, Sir John Pe chell printed a pamphlet, entitled, "Observations upon fitting Guns on board her Majesty's Ships." It contains full and minute instructions for doing so. The greater part of these suggestions have • been adopted. The pam phlet is dated March the 6th, 1814, Bermuda, and was officially transmitted to the Admiralty by Admiral Sir John Borlase Warren. These papers were finally. re ferred to the proper Board, but were not acted upon. On the return of the San Domingo, under the command of Sir John Pechell to Spithead in the same year, 1814, she was inspected by Rear-Admiral Foote, assisted by four Captains. The official Report made by them to Admiral Sir Richard Bickerton, the Commander-in- Chief at Portsmouth, stated that the gunnery equipments and training of the San Domingo were so superior to those of her Majesty's ships in general, that they were induced to recommend them for general adoption in the Navy, stating that their value and efficiency had been proved by the celerity with which the San Domingo had been cleared for action, and the extraordinary rapidity and precision of her lire. The Admiralty of that year (1814,) expressed their approbation, in replying to this official Report, through the Commander-in-Chief. 'lt is merely an act of justice to . record that tangent sights, similar in principle to'those which have since been esta blished in the. Navy, were then fitted to the San Domingo's guns by SirJohnPechell; that he had adopt e d a planfor obtaining horizontal fire, the efficacy of which had been shown in the actions of the Plicebe and Shannon ; and many other methods for instruct ing officers and seamen in a thorough knowledge of the management_ of their guns, which are detailed i n the pamphlet. I shall not enter further into .details, nor shall I touch on what has since been done by others, because that part of the question is fully' discussed in the United Service Journal, for the month of September, 1839. Shortly after Sir John Pechell's return, in the com mand of the San Domingo, in 1814, he proposed that one of the guard-ships should be made a scho4l of gunnery instruction for training officers, gunners, and seamen— this proposal was not acceded to. In 1817 Sir Howard Douglas transmitted his work on Naval Gunnery to the Admiralty in MS., and in Nov:' 1819 he was authorised to publish it. •In that work he alludes to the assistance heh4d derived from communications on naval gunnery' with those distinguished oilleers, Sir Philip Broke and Sir John Peehell ; and I know and feel that both Sir John Pechell and Sir lloward Douglas will both rejoice to see this question fairly stated. In 1825, Sir John I'cchell, when in command of the Sybille, printed a second pamphlet, on the fitting of ships' guns. In 1827 he again brought forward a pro posal for establishing a floating depot, or school of naval gunnery, and presented a minute to the Lord High Ad miral on the necessity of extending the gunnery training, improving the equipments, and rendering the gun exer cise more definite and uniform. In 1832 he prepared and arranged the present esta blished exercise fur great guns in our;navy, and, finally, in that year drew up the minute which established the Excellent, during the administration of Sir James Graham. In that minute he adopted some things from Sir How ard's book, but there can be no doubt, from a reference to dates, that to Sir John Pechell is due the claim of priority as well as of unwearied perseverance in working out this great national question; though it cannot be denied, that the good seed sown in the minds of the naval world by 'Sir Howard Douglas's publication, between the years 1819 and 1832, prepared the way for the adoption of the important measure, which Sir John Pechell finally car ried in 1832. I cannot close my remarks without stating that the establishment of the Excellent, which was formed during Sir James Graham's administration, has been doubled as to the number of its officers and men, by Lord Minto and the present Board of Admiralty, and expressing my deep sense of the warm interest and solicitude his Lord ship and the Board hare constantly evinced for the effi ciency and success of every part of the establishment. I am, Sir, your obedient servant, THOMAS HASTINGS, Captain, R.N. Portsmouth, Aug. 14, 1841. CHARTIST MEETING AT BATH. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SlR—From the great interest taken in the above pro ceedings, your insertion of the inclosed abridged report in The Sun will much oblige Your's very respectfully, C. CLARKE. highly respectable meeting of the middle and work ing classes took place last evening, in the large room, Kingmead-square, for the purpose of hearing an address from Mr. Henry Vincent, on the present position of affairs, and in defence of the principles of which he is the well-known advocate. At eight o'clock Mr. Vincent, Mr. Alderman Crisp, and Mr. Oliver, temperance lecturer, entered the room and were received with loud cheers, Mr. Alderman Crisp was unanimoasly called to the chair, and opened the proceedings by observing that they seemed to have less objection to his taking the chair than the parsons had to friend Bolwill some time since at the upper room. It is a pity these clerical gentry do not come amongst us and endeavour to enlighten our understandings, for they say we wander in darkness. God knows, in the estimation of some , of Mother Church's sons, I have been wandering from the dear old lady long enough, yet none of her faithful shepherds endeavour to call me back again by convincing me of my error.—(Laughter and cheers.) Mr. Crisp, at some length, dilated on the probable re sults of the Tories being in office, and the necessity of the people improving in knowledge and virtue, and uniting for the attainment of further organic changes.—(Cheers.) The Chairman then introduced Mr. VINCENT, who said—Ladies and Gentlemen. in a country possessed of good institutions, and amongst a people in the enjoy ment of social happiness, the interference of a humble citizen like myself in its . public affairs might be consi dered to require an apology; but in a c o un t r y lik e ours, where the aristocratic principle reigns supreme—where civil distinctions and honours are showered upon the wealthy and high-born—where the mass of the people are politically slaves, and are reduced to a state of social destitution ; the only explanation necessary is the public exigence, which calls upon the meanest man to use the power God has endowed him with to aid in Working out his country's regeneration. Such, Gentlemen, is my position—a novel one, I admit ; but warmly as I have been attached to the principles of liberty from boyhood—fervent as. have been my aspirations for the good of my fellow-creatures in times when public excite ment ran high, and we had advanced, as it were, to the very threshold of victory, I should consider myself a pigmy in soul if I did not rise above my usual enthusiasm now that the cloud of oppression thickens around us.— (Loud cheers.) I meet you to-night for a variety of rea sons—to speak of principles lasting as nature—to rouse the sluggard—to spur on the intelligent—to whisper hope , in the ear of despair—and ' to shake the virtue and intelligence of the city, in the quivering features of our cowardly oppres sors.—(Loud cheers.) Mr. Vincent, at some length, proceeded to show the causes that led to the defeat of the Whigs at the late election. He said that four years ago the Chartists had clearly pointed out, that unless the Whigs took their stand with the people, another elec tion would be their total ruin. He ridiculed the notion of Conservatism having triumphed, and illustrated seve ral prop o siti o ns to show that the democratic principle p t r o in schiopllves the on end i flourished as vigorouslynilicl ti as ever. He proceed e d t o ex pl a i n the ought to be found e d, and hap piness of the governed. He had been pro secu t e d f or n egeogsh-etrn to government have in view is the as serting that our Government did not exist for the benefit of the governed. Nearly two years of correctional im prisonment had been inflicted upon him, but he now felt it to be his duty to declare, before a more intelligent jury. that the British system of government existe only to uphold the power and wealth of the few, and to enslave and degrade the many.—(Loud alters.) Mr. Vincent proceeded to show that the full measure of justice con tained in the People's Charter could be as easily ob tained as the smallest organic change.. He showed that the aristocracy would never yield .to the popular will unless compelled by a strong unity of virtue, intelli gence, and courage. Here a gentleman in the room forwarded a note to Mr. Vincent, asking, if the Charter could not be obtained at once, if it would not be better to contend for a single point ?__ Mr. VINCENT, in reply, enforced with considerable effect his former proposition,—that the Charter can be as easily carried as any one of its points. He said, —Perhaps the gentleman who forwarded the note is in favour of the Ballot, and thinks that obtained, all other good measures would follow ; but my experience teaches me, that unless the consti tuencies are made too large to be purchased, fatal acts of bribery could be resorted to in all small constitu enbies.(Cheers.) .I am not opposed to the Ballot, but I wish to see the suffrage extended with it. Mr. Vin cent then enforced the necessity of knowledge and vir tue amongst the people. He hoped the. middle climes would join.the working men for the attainment of their rights. He said he felt nothing but a kindly feeling to wards all classes of the community. He wished to see his fellow-creatures in the enjoyment of the highest amount of happiness. He prophesied serious events — to Peel and the aristocracy—and made • a vigorous and eloquent appeal to the assembly to unite in defence of their rights. He made a beautiful allusidn to the confidence intelligent men have in the onward march, and concluded a very powerful speech, of which the above is a mere outline, with the following app ea l. " Who are they who despair !—the ignorant ? Raise them, then. Brighten their minds, you who have, caught a spark of the divine light. Intelligence never despairs ; it believes - in • the 'progression of humanity : —it places firm reliance upon the decrees of Providence—it bears with fortitude the sneer of folly and the chill of apathy —it penetrates through the gloom of the age it which it lives, and beholds the future arranged in the full blaze of triumphant glory."—(Loud cheering.) After a few observations from Mr. Cleave, cheers were kiven for the Chairman and Mr. Vincent, and. the As sembly dispersed, The above is the first of a series of meetings intended to be held in the various parishes of Bath. STATE of TRADE and COMMERCE The following melancholy' accounts of the state of ,rade and the prospects of the harvest are taken from the Liverpool Times of yesterday, and we fear contain too much truth : Nothing has occurred since our last to arrest the downward course of prices in the raw material of the staple manufacture of Lancashire, or to check the ad vance of prices in grain. The improvement in the wea ther, until Sunday, was very slight. The close, cloudy weather, accompanied by frequent rain, which prevailed during the last week, did little to ripen the corn ; whilst the continued pressure of pecuniary difficulties, and the unparalleled dulness of the demand for goods in the manufacturing districts, has still further forced down the price of cotton. The decline last week was a farthing a pound on some descriptions of cotton, and an eighth on all. A respectable house holding a considerable quantity of cotton, stopped pay ment here on . Friday, it is said, rather than sacrifice its stock at the present prices. 'We are sorry to say that there is nothing in the state of the manufacturing dis tricts, or of-the country generally, to encourage the hope of higher prices for some time. It is painful to have to give, week after week, such unfavourable accounts of the state of trade, but nothing else can be said of it with truth, and it is absolutely necessary that the real state of things should be known, especially now that Parliament is about to assemble for the purpose of discussing several most important questions connected with the industry . and prosperity of the country. Since our last, the average price of wheat for the whole kingdom has risen to 70s. sd. for the week, and 665. 4d. for the six weeks which regulate duty. These, however, are the prices of the week before last. The average price of the wheat sold in London last week, was 765. 9d., in Wakefield, 745. 6d., and in Liverpool, 735. As all the of her markets throughout the kingdom are also rising, the average of Friday next will probably be at least 735. ; but a lower average than that will release all-the Cana dian wheat and flour in bond on Friday next, at the lowest rate, namely, Gd. per quarter, and 3d. per barrel. as the average price of the six weeks is already within Bd. of 675. a quarter, at which the liberation takes place, and the week's duty which ceases to be computed, is only 635., whilst that which begins to be com puted must be nearer 735. than 70s. The total quantity of Canadian wheat and flour, &c. imported into Liver pool up to the 13th inst. and of which a good deal has already been . liberated, is 12,078 quarters of wheat, 72,045 barrels of flour, 3,584 quarters of peas, and S5B barrels of oatmeal, which is only a few days' consump tion for the 28 millions of persons who are now depend ing on the scanty supplies of free grain and flour. The speculators in foreign grain will make a rich har vest this year, and in addition to the ordinary profits arising out of a rise in price, they confidently expect to pocket seven out of the eight shillings duty which they would have had to pay the Government, if the mea sure, of last session had passed. The expectation of the shilling duty on foreign grain becomes more con fident every week as the supplies of free grain disappear, the harvest is retarded by the weather, and the accounts from the Continent become less favourable. Much uncertainty exists as to the amount of the sup plies which we are likely to receive from America and the continent of Europe, but the general belief is, that nothing but extravagantly high prices can produce any considerable supply from the Continent. The prospects in the United States and Canada are more favourable, though it will be seen by the accounts brought by the Caledonia, that flour was rising in the New York market. From private letters from respect able houses in America, as well as from the accounts in the public papers, we believe that the wheat crop in the western part of the State of New York and in Virginia and Maryland will be found defidient, that it will be very good in Michigan and some other parts of the Union, and that the crop, as a whole, will be an average one. Amongst the causes which have reduced our supplies of grain, and especially of wheat, to so low a, point, a very principal one is the extraordinary decrease of the supply from Ireland. In 1832, this country received not less than 790,293 quarters of wheat and flour from Ireland ; in 1833, not less than 244,211 quarters ; and in 1834, not less than 779,505 quarters ; whilst in 1839, the whole quantity furnished by Ireland was 258,131 quarters ; and in 1840, not more than 93,633 quarters. These figures show a decline of nearly seven hundred thousand quarters per annum in the supply of free wheat, during a period in which the population of Eng land and Scotland has increased from two to three millions. Supposing, that there has been an increase in the production of wheat in England and Scotland, during the last eight years, equal to the incr e a se i n th e population, still it would require a regular importation of nearly a million of quarters of foreign wheat to place us in a favourable position, with regard to the chief ar ticle of food, as we were when Ireland supplied us with 800,000 quarters of wheat, more especially as the quan tity imported into Ireland is now much greater than the quantity exported from it. Great anxiety is beginning to be felt lest the specula- , tion in foreign wheat shottld again create a serious de mand for bullion from the Bank of England. The only security against this is the smallness of the supplies in the European markets, and which will probably occasion .a still greater rise of prices on the Continent, and thus turn the attention of speculators to the American and Canadian markets, where all the wheat and flour that can be spared may be purchased without producing any derangement of monetary matters. For some time, hoW ever, it is probable that there will be a severe pull on the Bank. WELLINGTON FESTIVAL.—SO it seems the tradesmen to whom large balances have been due for the last two years for food and trappings for this mighty affair, are being paid up their arrears. The publicans who supplied the dinner were last week squared off ; and as far as Dover is concerned, 3001. more, or thereabouts, will settle the whole concern. The cash so far has been raised by the Committees in the respective ports after a good deal of delay, and the disbursement of some thing " pretty considerable" in law expenses ; but had it not been for these forcible measures, the tradesmen might have gone whistle for their accounts. The arrears that have lain over for this length of time,"i.n.. oluding costs, amounted to 1,000/., 630/. or which fell to the share of the Dover Committee. During the last week a begging circular has been sent from door to door in Dover, calling on the inhabitants and visitors to come forward with their mite, "to aid in liquidating the seri ous sum of 630/." What a compliment is this to the Noble Duke ! How high in his estimation must the Tories of those parts stand, seeing that after inviting him to a ban quet they must go a begging to pay the piper. Had the Dover Tories wanted 6,000/. to expend in bribery, it could easily have been raised without an appeal tp the inhabitants; could they not have managed to have scraped together 600/. to pay this shabby score without making a public exposure of themselves ! This transac tion altogether is a disgrace to the Cinque Ports, and we sincerely regret that a man like the Duke of Wellington should have been so insulted by these sycophants. He would have paid the expenses ten times over rather than have seen such exhibitions in Tory newspapers. Y~ MORMONISM:—Phis newfangled swindle will we hope now receive its death-blow in this neighbour hood. We have just seen the wife of a small farmer who sailed with her husbAnd and six children last February from Liverpool. They, and about 100 others, landed at New Orleans, went se ieral hundred miles up the country, past St. Louis, and ar:ived safe at the " promised laud," —the New Jerusalem —on the Ist of May last ,• a three week's residence was s efficient to let them into the secret, and they arrived safe back in the old country about a fortnight ago. They had frequent communications while on the banks of tie Mississippi with the renowned prophet, Joe Smith, and his brother impostors, who took every means in their pow N.- to get hold of our informants' money, by offering to ser them large plots of land, take them into partnership, &.!. but the Gloucestershire y eo man was proof against their wiles, and used his little cap ital in bringing his family back again. What, most staggered the faith of the party was, that this great pro phet, Mr. Joseph Smiti, could not show them the , 4 plates of gold" on which it was pretenadd the Book of Mormon was written ; Jo .y evaded the question by say ing the angel merely showed them to him, and after he had taken a fair copy, took them back again !--:Cheiten am Journal. • Two-thirds of Profits divided annuallyAritongst the Assured.
