This Work, a Seventh Edition of which is now presented to the public, ten thousand copies have been exhausted since its first appearance, has been very much improved and enlarged by the addition of a more extended and clear detail of general principles, as also by the insertion of several new and highly in teresting cases. The book, as has been already stated, is the result of very ample and daily increasing experience in a class of diseases, which, for some unaccountable reason, have been either altogether overlooked, or treated almost with indiffer ence, by the ordinary. medical practitioner. The proverbial and well known rapacity of unqualified practitioners, who traffic 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 diseases, which arise from certain secret praetices, can only be acquired by an ex clusive and undivided attention to this department of medical practice. The numberless instances daily occurring, whersin 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 no 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 of both sexes, who perish of what is called pulmonary consumption, heart disease, tapes, &c., the sole and exclusive origin has been the indulgence in certain destructive habits practised by youth much more frequently than it is at all 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 an d detecting the too often con cealed practices so often introduced into schools, whereby the health and ultimately the lives of his pupils are sure to be com promised, unless the evil be arrested in proper time. He will here find a clue 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 real causes of such attack may be, and thas he will be enabled to check the evil in its incipient state. The CLERGYMAN, in whose sacred character is at once concentrated the two-fold relation of parent and instructor, will here be directed as to the nature of those habits to which youth is addicted; he will also be enabled to point out the dis astrous consequences which are sure to follow from them if not relinquished.

[ADVERTISEMENT.] TII E TOILET.—A fine Head of Hair—" the inestimable gift of the Graces" —from its influence in giving due effect and expression to the features, has been universally sought after. No article for this purpose has ever been favoured with such distinguished patronage as " Lowland's Macassar Oil," the reputation of which for its beautifying and restorative qualities, has been pro mulgated in all ranks of fashion and elegance, which the high encomiums and testimonials of its value amply corroborate ; in drcesing the hair, and arranging it into any desired form of curl or other decorative for maotin, the addition of this Oil is indispensable,—it pre serves the coiffure in the heated atmosphere of the ball room,- and prevents the relaxing effects of damp, or vio ent exercise. MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS. rnom THE MORNING PAPERS OF TIIIS DAY. POST. In the Foreign House the prin cipal operations were in Spanish Stock, in which the fluctuations proved heavy. A large operation, of which mention was made yes terday, turned out to be less considerable in amount than had been reported, and gene rally believed. The sum talked of was 300,000/., but we understand that, in reality, it did not exceed one-third of that amount. The recollection of past disappointments prevents that confidence being placed in the promises of the Spanish Government which might other wise have been the case ; and while some of the bondholders deem it wise to realise at the price of the day, others were slow to enter into specu lations of so critical a nature. It is not forgotten by prudent men that the payments advertised for May and November, 1837, led to a great advance in the English Market at the time, but that the money has not been forthcoming, even to the present day; and to go, under such cir cumstances, deeply into purchases, upon the faith of present or future pledges being better attended to than the preceding, without the smallestaeto fnpa u gua r r d a o n n t a e b e l co folly. f o It appears that the forgery of Exchequer bills is by no means co n fi ne d to this country, but that it is, in fact, the order of the day on some parts of the Continent and elsewhere. We ,perceive that arrests have been made in Drtsden of parties who had issued counterfeit bills on the Piussian Treasury, and that a commis sioner has been sent to Paris, within the last few days, to ascertain the existence of like forgeries in that capital, where he first discovered them in the window of a money changer. The commis sioner went in and gave an order for a consider able suni deliverable at a stipulated time. This having arrived he calledagain with a police officer, by whom the forgeriei were seized, together with the vendor; and although the proceeding-against the latter fell *to the ground, th e redress •he attempted to obtain for the loss to which he had been subjected , through the order given him to purchase, was not afforded him: We find also that the Portuguese Minister of Finance has just made a special communication to the Cortes re quiring extraordinary measures for the suppres sion of the immense amount of forgery going on in stamps, bank-notes, and public securities, as wall as of coin, observing that, without the powers applied for it would 'be impossible for him to collect the revenues with any satisfaction to himself. It is much apprehended by parties conversant with the arts of engraving and stamp ing, that forgery is likely to increase to a fearful extent through the promulgation of various processes lately discovered, and particularly in the use of the electrotype, the test of imitation by means of which no kind of engraving now practised is able to resist. It is confidently asserted that coloured embossed stamps, such as the Post-office labels, are imi tated at a very trifling expense to the imitator, for even the law does not comprehend this, it would appear, as an offence coming within the Acts passsd for the prevention of forgery. Com mon receipt and bill stamps, also, are said to be imitated with a facility beyond all belief, and at scarcely any other cost than that of the paper, stamp, and a small quantity of sealing-wax and shellac. It is therefore not to be wondered at that the greatest desire prevails in the Treasury td introduce such improvements in this important branch of the. revenue as will effectually do away with every temptation to the crime• of for gery, as well as risk of loss to .the Exchequer, which some parties compute at preserit to be far greater than the public at large have any idea of. CHRONICLE.—East of Temple-bar the in habitants are, perhaps, too apt to consider the merits of any measure by its money price. Thus, when the looked-for scheme of emigration is dis cussed in the City, the first question generally put is, "What will it cost?" The advantages to be expected from the execution of a large and comprehensive plan of emigration may be con sidered so great by. philanthropists as to induce them to look upon the expense as a secondary matter ; but when the financial ififibarrassments of the country, and the impoverished position of the public Treasury are considered, the pounds, shillings, and pence become of serious importance.. When we remember that the Re port of the Select Committee on Emigration last session recommended an expatriation en masse of about sixty thousand souls as needful to re lieve the destitution prevailing in the Highlands and islands of Scotland, we perceive at once that millions of money must be expended in order to carry into. effect any general and effi cientunite dKingdom. measure The expense of emigration of sending the 60,000 emigrants to • Canada could not be safely estimated at much under 400,0001. The cost again per head to New South Wales under the bounty system is 201., so that to transport the same number of adults to Sydney or any part of our Australian colonies would be fully 1,200,000/. The gross expense of conveying 120,000 emigrants in equal portions, therefore, to New South Wales and Canada, would certainly incur an ex pense to the Treasury of about 1,600,000/. If the Government were to propose a measure of so limited a nature as that to which those figures apply, the addition of 1,600,0001. to the expenditure for the next year does not ren der the task of equalising the revenue and ex penditure one of more easy accomplishment ; and Unless it were brought forward on a much more compiehensive basis, the benefits 'accruing from it would be of no permanent duration ; for • in lieu of the numerical subtraction of 120,000 from the gross population by emigration, the ad dition by births would be nearly 400,000 in the year 1842. The only ordinary funds which the Government could command, to take off the load from the Exchequer, are the colonial land funds, which would not do much to alleviate the charge._ The necessary conclusion, accordingly, is, if the Government determined on a scheme of emigra tion, that Mr. Goulburn must soon appear again in the Money Market with some new patch work of a loan or funding; thus adding more and more to the amount of the public debt. TIMES.—The late transactions of the Bank of England in stock turn out to be not absolutely a lending of money on such security, but the taking back of Consols upon which the Bank had previously itself borrowed money. This operation is one not unfrequently resorted to within the last two years, and is for the purpose of equalizing the rate of money in and out of the Stock Exchange. The proceeding of the house of Coutts and Co. against Lord Strangford is now understood to be not an action at common law, but in the form of a bill of discovery filed in Chancery, in order to ascertain the degree of knowledge possessed by his Lordship of the origin of the Exchequer bills accepted by that house as security, with the view of instituting legal proceedings, on evidence so obtained from Lord Strang - ford, against other parties. This is no abandonment, as has been interpreted by some, of the claim against the Government for the spurious bill's, but in order to show that all possible legal steps have been taken against those even suspected to have a guilty knowledge of the - original fraud, in aid, so far as it may go, of the liability of the Government. SUN.—The notice from the Bank of England, inserted in the Evening Edition of The Sun, differs in no respect from the one issued in September last, prior to the closing of the transfer books. All further uneasiness being unne cessary, as the Bank wil l r eceive six months' of exchange, Exchequer bills, and India, Bonds, it may be hoped that the Money Market will be relieved from some of its late stringency. Christmas time, however, is always rather trying for the commercial world. Stocks were buoyant to-day, and the adjustment of the Accouiat did not create any particular demand for money, or cause ineonvenience to the jobbers.

PILE-DRIVING MACHINE. A very simple, yet very admirable machine for driving a double row of piles, has very recently been imported from the United. States. It was built at Utica, and has the national name " Brother Jonathan" inscribed on it. It is now in operation at Smith's timber wharf, Pedlar's Acre, where it can be seen driving the piles for the causeway and abutment on the Surrey side of the New llungerford Market Bridge, now in progress. The hammers, or weights, or as they are more usually called by pile-drivers the " monkeys," arc elevated to a height of thirty-five feet or thereabouts, along grooves in perpendicular leaders, by means of a locomotive steam engine of ten-horse power, • fixed on a plat form, on which the whole of the machinery is placed. The power of the blow given by each of these hammers exceeds six hundred tons, ma drives a pile of twenty-seven feet long, and as thick as the thick est piles used in embankments and for coffer dams, nearly its whole length into the earth in about eight minutes, perhaps less. It drives two piles at the same time. A circular horizontal saw is worked by the engine, which, in a few seconds, cuts the tops of the piles .even, and enables the trucks, or small wheels on which the plat form is supported, to come forward as fast as the piles are driven, and cut them even at the top ; the platform is propelled by a one-horse power by the engine. The power of this machine is absolutely astounding, and requires to be seen to be fully estimated. lt is an important appli cation of steam pOWer, likely to produce very beneficial results in public works, in the formation of sea banks, and in all operations !on a large scale where rapidity of execution and precision are required. The machine was used in America for driving piles for railroads ; and travelled by its own power upwards of two hundred miles, driving piles, and making its own road through swamps and districts heretofore impervious. It is patented in this country, and also in the United States. The machine has, moreover, the power of drawing piles out of the earth as quickly as it drives them in, and can be applied to the raising of blocks of * stones, and all heavy weights that require an extraordinary power. It is almost indispensable for all persons immediately con nected with engineering and science to see it, and it is well worth the while of a visit from the curious and in telligent of all professions. ELECTION RIOTS.- TORY VILLAINY. A SHTON-UNDER•LYNE.-4t will be remembered that this town was : the scene of great riots and disturbances during the last election, and particularly on the nomi nation day, and that a great number of " navigators," who were hired by the Tories, were tried for riot at the last Liverpool Assizes, and found guilty, three of whom sentence of death was recorded against. At the same assizes true bills were found against some of Mr. Har rop's friends, for arming and inciting to riot. Previous, however, to the assizes, and immediately after the elec tion, the Tories (enraged by their defeat) applied for warrants against eight of Mr. Hindley's supporters, for riot and assault. These cases were heard before the Ashton Magistrates, and dismissed. Individual cases have also been heard and dismissed. So determined were the Tory party to throw off the disgrace which characterised their cowardly proceedings at the elec tion, and if possible to charge Mr. Hindley's Pirty with the commencement of the riot on the day of no mination, that they indicted the same persons at the last Salford Sessions, who were tried and acquitted be. fore the Ashton Magistrates, for riot and assault. The case was heard at the New Bailey on Wednesday last. Messrs. Gibbon and Hawkyard were solicitors for the Tories ; and Mr. Gartside was solicitor for the Re formers (the defendants). Dr. Brown and Mr. Brandt were counsel for the defendants, and Messrs. Greene and Wiggam for the prosecution. The case com menced about four o'clock, and was not closed until half-past twelve o'clock at night. The witnesses for the prosecution were Messrs. Thomas Mellor (cotton spinner), Collins, Turner, Lingard, Hulme, and others, amounting to thirteen in number. The de fendants had upwards of twenty witnesses, who all spoke to the same fact, that the riot was commenced by the Tory party advancing with stones and blud geons upon Mr. Hindley and his friends on their enter ing into the Market-place. The question for the jury to decide was, whether the Tory party commenced the riot, or Mr. Hindley's party; and after hearing the Learned Chairman's remarks upon the evidence, they returned a verdict for the defendants of " Not , guilty." This is the third time the Ashton Tories have exposed themselves in the different Courts of law, spending their time c.nd mono; to convict Mr. Hindley's party' of an offence which has been proved by a jury of the country to have been committed by themselves.—Man chester Times.

The import of ale, beer, and porter, seems steadily increasing. The quantity imported last year was 14,094 good, and 1,821 bad and empty hogsheads, be sides 2,400 dozens in bottle, the aggregate value of which is set down at 6,17,155 rupees. Bass and Allsop continue in high repute in Bengal, as they do in other parts of India, two-thirds of last year's supply being of their brands. The following are the quantities imported in good order from the six principal brewers for the Indian market durinc , the last four years. We have added the proportion of and empty hogsheads of each kind for last year :- 1837-38 1838-39 1838-39 1840-41 1840-41 Hhds. Hhds. Hhds. Hhds. Bad. Bass 4,881...3,120 .. A,442 ...5,319 ... 186 Allsop Hodgson 880... 895 ... 491 ... 940 . • 7 Tennant Ind and Smith 981... 621 ... 371 ... 423 ... 21 Elliot Besides the above there are thirty-two other brewers, each struggling to acquire a name in the Indian market, who sent out last year quantities varying from ten to 300 hogsheads each, and one (Saunders) to the extent of 800. An American brewer named Pepper sent out 130 hogsheads on trial the previous year, but, probably not finding it answer, does not appear to have repeated the experiment. Many others, we suspect, will be con strained to follow their example, and abandon as hope less the prospect of competing with those already so well established in public favour. A large proportion of this beer is excellent ; but those accustomed to their fa vourite beverage of Bass or Allsop, and whose tastes are in a manner confirmed, are averse to change, even although the new beer can be had at about half the price of the other ; meanwhile such wholesome compe tition is not without its advantages. With the example of Hodgson before them, and surrounded by so many competitors, Messrs. Bass, Allsop, Tennant, &c., have the strongest inducement to maintain the superiority of their respective brews. It would have been interesting to have compared the above with the kinds of beer held in most estimation on this side of India ; but on this subject " The Reports of the Commerce of Bombay, compiled under the joint di rection of the Reporter-General on External Commerce (i. e. the Collector of Customs), and the Committee of the Chamber of Commerce," afford us no information whatever. We believe, however, that Bass and Allsop distance the others by a long interval.--Bombay Times, Oct. 1. WARLIKE PREPARATIONS IN THE NAVY.— In all departments of the naval service of the country a degree of activity prevails unexampled at any period since the battle of Waterloo re-established the peace of Europe. We have it from undoubted authority, that in one of the many departments to which the manning and fitting out of ships of war is entrusted, the weekly bills sent in last week exceeded by 40,0001. any accounts rendered for the same period for the last five and twenty years. This increase of activity is not confined to one branch of the service, and, taken alto• gether, we are told, in the past week, there was the im mense augmentation in the payments for strengthening the navy alone of 400,0001. The naval estimates for the next year will therefore startle those who look with alarm at any further addition being made to the na tional debt Tne Government seem resolved to place Britain's bulwark in the most .efficient position. This week another contract for 100,000 gallons of rum for the use of the navy has been taken. It is riot more than two months since a similar quantity of the same spirit was con , tracted, to be sent to the dockyard stores. On the present, as on the last few former occaions, the Lords Commissioners for exercising the office of Lord High Admiral have stipulated that one-half of the quantity shall be rum the produce of the East Indies. The contract this week was taken on rather lower terms than that which preceded it.—Dublin Evening Post. A lady in the Rue de Bussy received on Satur day last an invitation to a ball for. Sunday evening. Not being acquainted with the family she laid it aside, and at her usual hour on Sunday night re tired to bed. Hearing something stir in the adjoin ing room, and receiving no answer to her calls, she got up, opened her door, and unintentionally admitted two men, one of whom was armed with a knife, and threatened to murder her if she cried out, while the other was collecting all the valuables lie could lay his hands upon. While they were thus employed, a person of the house, who had been dining out, returned home rather g ay, and ascended the staircase singing the Marseillaise at the top of his voice. This scared the men in the lady's chamber, who immediately abandoned all that they had collected, and made a precipitate retreat. THE BLUSH OF DAWN.--We learn from the Marrhester Times, that at the conclusion of the business for 'which the Anti-Corn-law deputies had been spe cially convened, the chair having been vacated and a new chairman appointed, Joseph Sturge, Es , o f Birmingham , brought forward the question (14 complete suffrage. He was listened to with marked attention —the conversation which ensued, exhi bited a general desire on the part of the deputies, to promote a movement for thorough Reform, and we understand that a resolution requesting Joseph Sturge and Sharman Crawford to draw up a docum ent on the subject, which, after signature b Deputies, might be published, was pas se d unani.noy the unani .nously. This is the first blush of dawn after a long political night. I n as far as it goes, it is a courteous, manly, noble move on the. part of the League towards reconciliation with the labouring. classes.—Nonconformist. PRICE 5d POPULATION OF LANCASHIRE. The official account of the population of each county in Great Britain, which we give elsewhere, enables us to arrive at some facts strikingly illustrative of the great and increased importance of this manufacturing county ; which has now become the first county in England, and indeed, in the United Kingdom, in amount of population. Yorkshire, which in every preceding census stood first, is now the second county in this respect, and Middle sex is the third, it having hitherto stood second ; so that the population of Lancashire has increased with such rapidity during the last ten years, as to advance it from the rank of third to that of the first county in the kingdom in this respect. It is interesting to mark the gradual rise and development of these three great coun ties in point of population, as exhibited in the following figures : Census of Lancashire. Yorkshire. Middlesex. 1801 673,731 838,892 818,129 1811 828,309 986,174 953,276 1821 1,052,859 1,173,187 1,144,531 1831 1,3:36,854 1,371,359 1,358,330 1841 1,667,064 1,591,584 1,576,616 Lancashire has, therefore, the largest population of any county in the kingdom,—numbering 75,480 more inhabitants than Yorkshire, and 90,448 more inhabi tants than Middlesex (which includes so large a portion of the metropolis 43.310. But the importance of this county, in reference to the number of its population, is equally striking when we take its area, compared with that of Yorkshire, as in the followed figures : Area in Statute Acres. Area in Square Miles. Yorkshire . . 3,815,040 . . 5,961 Lancashire. . 1,171,840 . . 1,831 These figures enable us to ascertain that the popula tion of Lancashire is at the rate of 9101 inhabitants to every square mile of its surface, while in Yorkshire the number of inhabitants is only 267 to the square mile. Another mode of showing the vast relative impor tance of this great county is, to find how many of the smaller counties of England are required to make up an aggregate of population equivalent to that of Lan cashire. Let us take, for instance, Bedfordshire, Berk shire, Buckinghamshire, Cambridgeshire, Dorsetshire, Herefordshire, Hertfordshire, Huntingdonshire Mon mouthshire, Northamptonshire, Oxfordshire, Rutland, and Westmoreland—thirteen counties ; and we find that their aggregate population is just 1,666,570 ; so that in the whole of these counties there aro really 494 fewer inhabitants than in this single county. It would lead us too far astray to contrast the respective legis lative power and iofluence of these two masses of po pulation ; but theses facts cannot fail to claim for this county a larger share of attention and respect on the part of the Executive than it is receiving even at the present time. A respected Contemporary, in a neigh bouring county, observes, that the three .counties of Lancaster, York, and Middlesex, compaise 4,835,264 inhabitants, nearly one-third of the whole population of England.—Manchester Guardian. EXTRAORDINARY VOYAGE. A VESSEL BROUGHT FROM THE WEST INDIES BY TWO MEN. On Tuesday evening the schooner Whim, Captain Kerridge, belonging to Harwich, arrived in the West India Import Dock from St. Domingo, with a cargo of mahogany, after a passage of sixty-four days. The voyage was performed under the most extraordinary circumstances, and is, we believe, unparalleled in the annals of navigation. The crew of the Whim, on leaving St. Domingo, consisted of five persons—viz., the captain, mate, two men, and a boy. Four days after sailing, the mate, George Strutt (unmarried, but the only support of a widowed mother), caught a severe cold during a suc cession of tremendous gales, which prevented him from attending to his duty, and notwithstanding the usual remedies, which were kindly furnished by the captain, he gradually got worse, and on the twelfth day he ex pired. Next morning his body was consigned to a grave iu the abyss of the ocean, the prayers for the dead having been previously read over it by the master. Captain Kerridge being thus deprived of the services of his chief officer, his duties were necessarily rendered doubly laborious and irksome ; but, unfortunately, he had soon to contend with greater hardships and privations. A few days after the death of the mate, one of the seamen, named Michael Shey, a native of Kinsale, Ire-' land, was attacked with a lingering disease, and being confined to his hammock in the forecastle, he was unable to perform any kind of duty. In this state he has arrived with the vessel in the West India Import Dock. About the time of the mate's death the appren tice got also disabled, in consequence of a severe ulcer ated leg, which made him unable to stand, and he, too, has been brought home an invalid, and it is feared am putation of the leg will become necessary to save his life. There was now only left the captain and one seaman, named John Lilly, to bring the schooner to England, a distance of nearly 4,000 miles ! This they deemed a task almost impracticable ; but, as their own lives, ves sel, and valuable cargo must be sacrificed if they did not persevere, Captain Kerridge, and his only remaining seaman (Lilly), resolved on prosecuting at all hazards the voyage. The weather was, at the advanced period of the season, unusually tempestuous, Capt. Kerridge stating that he never experienced such a continuation of heavy gales, at times approaching to a hurricane. The, foreyard and part of the schooner's sails were blown away during one of these tornados, and they were not replaced by others, the captain having to steer the ves sel, and one man being incapable of making a refit of sails, &c. In this partly disabled state the voyage was continued, and Capt. Kerridge and Lilly, when almost worn out with fatigue, descried a ship at some distance from them, and, on nearing each other, Capt. Kerridge solicited from the master of the stranger vessel one of his crew to assist him, at the same time acquainting him with his distressed condition. Capt. K. was answered by the master that he also was short of his crew, and could not spare any of his men. Capt. Kerridge did not fall in with another vessel until he reached longitude 15 W. Having perceived a sail at a short distance, he hoisted a signal flag, and the ship, belonging to St. John's, New Brunswick, and bound for Liverpool, immediately bore down upon him, and the captain kindly gave Capt. Kerridge one of his crew. Thus manned, the Whim successfully accom plished the remainder of the voyage, and that notwith standing having been exposed to the late disastrous gales. Strange to state, Captain Kerridge did not have a chronometer on board the Whim, and his arrival from St. Domingo, under all these extraordinary circum stances, is almost a miracle. The schooner and her valuable cargo are, we under stand, partly insured, and as the owners, underwriters, and others, have been, by Capt. Kerridge's unexampled courage and indomitable perseverance, as also that of Lilly the seaman, prevented from sustaining a heavy loss, it is to be hoped that such untiring zeal, suffering and fatigue, will not be permitted to go unrewarded. The above facts are specially deserving the kind con sideration of Lloyd's. EMIGRATION PROJECT OF THE —_. _... GOVERNMENT. It is announced that the Cabinet will bring forward, on next Session, au extensive measure of emigration , as of the means of relieving public distress. We believe e well-considered system of emigration to be a desir able measure in an old and.densely-peopled country has immense colonies : it may , in some degree,w h ich benefit the mother-country, and still more the depend ency. may give a population to t h e latt er , and cus tomers to the former. It is , ho wever, in t he fi rst ins tance, an expensive and a slowly-operating method s it cannot be concealed, that o o ti f r c o o u l r onie entailed upon us great cost to defend them in war, and otonobpeolyguarded against in future.

Is it not a perfect burlesque on statesmanship , to banish your people across the globe, because you won't let them cat European corn at home ? Whilst bread is sixty per cent. cheaper on the south of the Straits of Dover than it is on the north, and whilst it is made permanently so by law, what pretence is there for talking of emigration ? Open your ports,—receive all the food that the world can send you,—and then, if it should prove too little, go in search of it to the islands of Polynesia or Australasia. But a man might as well complain of hunger who refuses to open his mouth to receive food, as a nation complain of excessive numbers which refuses to receive food for the supply of those numbers. If a grant of public money should be pro posed in aid of emigration , we hope i t will be prop osed as an amendment that the money be raised exclusively by a land-tax, and payable only by the friends of the Corn-law.—Leeds Mercury. ~~`y~- ~/~ ~j ~~ l-.~, ~GI Z ~~ EVENING SUN. SUN. COURT OF COMMON COUNCIL. Yesterday a Special Court was held at the Mansion house for the purpose of presenting to Major-General Sir Charles Felix Smith the freedom of the City for his gallant conduict in Syria. The Court was unusually crowded. It was stated on the paper of businese that the Court would not proceed to any of the ordinary topics. Deputy Gonsox requested to be informed whether ap plication had been made to Prince Albert to lay the first stone of the new Royal Exchange. The LORD MAYOR said, he believed that application had been made, and that his Royal Highness had been pleased to acquiesce. —(Hear, hear.) PRESENTATION OF THE FREEDOM OF THE CITY OF LONDON TO MAJOR-GENERAL SIR CHARLES F. SMITH. Major-General Sir Charles Felix Smith having entered the Court amidst loud cheers, The CHAMBERLAIN (Sir James Shaw, Bart.) rose, and with the usual forms swore in the new citizen, In pre senting the freedom in the magnificent box, the counte`r part of those presented by the Corporation to Sir Robert Stopford and Commodore Napier, Sir James addressed the gallant new member of the Corporation in a short speech. S'_r C. Sminr, who was frequently interrupted by cheers, said—" I have to offer my unfeigned and most grateful acknowledgments for this especial mark of your favour. On this Syrian affair so m lich of miarepresentation has gone forth to the world, that it becomes essential—a duty I owe to you—to clear up one point, lest my fellow citizens (for such I presume I may now have the honour of designating you)—lest,l say. my fellow-citizens might imagine that they had conferred a signal mark of their approbation upon one who had done little to deserve it. I will pass over the amusing fictions with which the British public have been diverted, and come at once to the report in the newspapers of Sir Robert Stopford's speech at the Mansion-house. A peru-. sal of that report would lead an otherwiFe uninformed person to suppose that I was only " intended" to command the land forces at the siege of Acre, and that my health was such as to prevent the from parti cipating largely in the operations of the campaign. I have an assurance from the lips of my respected friend, the Gallant Admiral, that such was not a faithful re presentation of what it was his Excellency's inten tion to impart. It is true that I was taken seri ously ill the day after I left Gibraltar, and that I ar rived on the Syrian coast in a state of health far from satisfactory—so much so, indeed, that I could not take a very active part on shore in the establishment of our first depot station for the distribution of arms to the na tives ; but, like the Admiral, I issued my orders from the flog-ship, and I gave my counsel t 4 him, being held by his Excellency as jointly responsible with himself. I was absent for eighteeen days, having gone to Con stantinople for the purpose of seeking instructions from the British Ambassador as to general operations, and to define all that had theretofore been ambiguous or eqnivocal in our respective positions ; for it will hardly be credited that my instructions from . her Majesty's Government were only dated in LonclOn ' on the 10th of September, the day on which (although contrary to the orders then in the Admiral's possession) we bombarded Beyront, and were received by me the 10th of October, the day on which I took possession of that place, after having returned from Constantinople with the Sultan's firman, empowering me- to com mand the whole of his Imperial Majesty's troops in Syria, coupled with an instruction, giving me the control over the Turkish squadron in all matters connected with military movements. That I so continued to command, having to con tend with unparalleled obstructions and diffi culties, is shown by the official despatches of the time; hut if more be required, I have the unfortunate evidence of a severe wound, disabling one limb, which will remind me of Acre at every future step in life. I have been 32 years on foreign service, for the most part contending against the climate of the tropics, or actively engaged with the enemies of our country ; I am now about to return to my station abroad, but, if ever I come back to England again, it shall be my earnest endeavour su to qualify myself as to cultivate and improve my ac quaintance with the citizens of London.—(Cheers.) The Gallant Officer then shook hands most cordially with the Lord Mayor and several of the members of the Corporation, and left the Court amidst loud acclamations. LIGHTING OF THE METROPOLIS TURNPIKE ROADS. PARISH OF TOTTENHAM. A meeting of the ratepayers within 400 yards on each side of the turnpike road leading from Stainford-hUI to Edmonton was held in the Grammar-school at the lEgh cross in this parish last evening. Mr. G. E. Shuttle worth was unanimously called to the Chair. The CHAIRMAN briefly described the object for which they had assembled, and read the requisition, which. had been prepared by Counsel, the:substance of which he had put in the form of a resolution. On a division the numbers were-100 for the lighting, and 17 against it. Messr;'. Fowler, Fox, Dean, Boon, W. B. Nunzio *s, and Thomas Ashwell were then elected inspeetorti , for the year. The CnAirtntAN having produced an estimate of the probable cost of lighting the 59 lamps heretofore lighted by the Commissioners of the Turnpike Roads for one year, and having also stated the probable amount air the rate for the district in question, It was moved, seconded, and carried, " That the amount to be raised should be 3601., which would he produced by a rate of 41d. in the pound upon houses, and Id. in the pound upon land." The CHAIRMAN stated that about 94 small tenemernts assessed below 101., and producing at the above rate about 17/. per annum, would be met, he had every reasen to believe, by voluntary payments from gentlemen residing beyond the limits of the district in question, and which he had no doubt the inspectors would apply in discharge of those rates. llence, he observed, that the only ob jection raised to. the adoption of the 3d and 4th William c. 90, would be obviated in a way equally gratifying to all parties. Thanks were then unanimously voted to the Chairman for the very able manner in which he had conducted the business of the evening. This was perhaps the largest meeting of influential persons ever known in this parish. As the Act of Par• Hameln requires the inspectors to do certain acts, some days must elapse before the lighting can take place. LLOYDS' SHIPPING. GOTIIENBUIIGII LIGHTS. The Board of Admiralty at Stockholm hats given notice that : A light on the island of Winga will be exhibited on the Ist of November, and will be continued eve ry night throughout the year. The lights on the Islands Buskar and Botto will also be shown on the Ist of November inst., but they will continue only betweh the 15th of August and the 15th of April, every year. LEGHORN LIGHT. Hydrographic-office, Admiralty, Oct. 30. The Grand Ducal Government of Tuscany haN given notice, that the light of the port of Leghorn (Levorno), in lat. 40 d. 30 m. 41 s. N., and long. 10 d. 17 in. k E., which has hitherto been a fixed light, will appest-, from the 15th of next December, as an intermitting light. al ternately red and white, each for an interval of 40 seconds, and with intervening eclipses. The Wight of the light being 154 feet above the sea, will retailer it visible at the distance of 20 miles, and, during th e eclipses, a faint light may be seen within . the dist:xnee of nine miles, the total darkness not being complete i y un d that distance. The Pro; vgateur of Troyes states that the Ihoni-• sm ha , vin of g ‘N b 'lll7l 10 1 l f ac e of an inn at B at r ta ot, ck i s n of th r e he t m ub a e li , e e m nt edies applied had failed to cure him, l ' i l s bj i e s• c i wife an d i nnu m erablet aond'i vio l ent niece, under the advice of a village &et:tress, garment, an d of the plane-tree, which goo d .h m an's covered the whole of g body with ;leaves sack, tied close round his kind of primitive sewed together into a ofan ditshibsaretchspoirrabtiroenadf,re;eh. neck ,, and l l e h a e v n ing pu h t is hi u m e l i nt o o ut a , causego l o n d man was laid on a iboard, proof of his When the oven was disc b arged and slid into it, still hot.

The shock produced such an effect, coin bitted with the heat, that the poor man died almotit imme.. diately in excruciating torments. BREAD AND BARRACKS.--NOt more. dist pleasing to the Parisians is the fortification of Paris, than must be the efforts now making to erect more bar racks in Lancashire and the surrounding parts. A shton and Derby are already thus favoured , and proposaks have been made from the Home-office and the Horse Guards to have Bolton thus fortified. Truly Sir James Ceraham is very considerate ! If bread be wanting, balls, it seems, can be had in plenty. On IVednesday week, a meeting of the inhabitants of Bolton was held to take the a h o y, proposal into consideration. Much to the credit. of th e patriotic and Constitution -loving people of Bolton, t h e proposal was rejected. The assembly was composed a l. • most exclusively of those who pay the highest rates, a n d they declared they would rather trust the" protection of their property to their townsmen than to the military ; nay, further than this, the measure was denounced as an attempt to place the community under a complete mili tary despotism. We are glad that this feeler ha s f a i led, which we trust will be the case wherever similaip ro p o . sals may be made. Indeed, indeed, this is not the si v ei in which Sir Robert Peel must think to alla y the .. -7 "vitt• ter's discontent." — York Courant.

The putting such a man upon a commission charged with the preservation of the peace would lead us to infer that we have no peace — nothing but partizanship to expect from the Tory Ministry , _lVorcestershire Chronicle. itOYAL POLYTECHNIC INSTITU TION, REGENT-STREET.—MORNINGS and r.VENINGS except SA .
