This little work is not only distinguished but contra-distin guished from all others which have preceded it, its pages being exclusively devoted to the curative department, and hence it may be justly hailed as a great na'ional desideratum. It con 7 tains above one hundred choice recipes, adapted to various staps :of the complaint, which is divided into three distinct. heads and progressive stages of treatment, viz.: -Ist, The cleansing, or detergent ; 2diy, The strengthening, or tonic ; and lastly, The alterative, or purifying. Into these three grand divisions, theory suggested, and long experience has demon streed, the curative plan ought and must be divided. The ti eatment of tr.is disease has, for obvious reasons, been hitherto confined to s'ime cordi a l b a l m , occu lt ti nc t ur e, or talis manic drops, which act merely as a dram—a temporary stimu lus, procured at the expense of the patient's future welfare.

The following are a few of the numerous testimonials this popular work has received, and which the limits of art adver tisement will only allow of being published : The rage for books in all departments of Science, literature, and the arts, was, we believe, never so prevalent as at the pre sent time. The unavoidable consequence of this is, that we meet a very considerable proportion of indifferent, useless, and even bad books. With the force of this prejudice on our minds, we with no little reluctance were induced to peruse Messrs. Curtis's work, entitled "Mardipod ;" nor did it re quire much perusal luny to satisfy us that th, book was not one of the common stamp. The scientific views taken by the authors of the source and origin of many of the most. distressing ffects of certain depraved habits, fully establish their claim to the character of experienced and judicious surveons. To quote passages from the work in proof of our assertion would be departing from the established rules of the daily press. The result, however, of our careful perusal of the work, has been to impress us with a thorough c„nfidence in the talent and skill of the authors, and to satisfy us that. throe entrusted with the care of youth are not a little indebted to them for fur nishing them with a means of preventing some of the most frightful maladies to which flesh is heir. —Old England. Messrs. Curtis's work, entitled " Manhood," is one of the few books now coming befor the public on such a subject which can lay claim to the character of being strictly professional, at the same time that it is fully intelligible to all who read it. The moral and medical precepts given in it, render it invalu able.—Magnet. The 'perusal of Messrs. Curtis's book entitled " Manhood," has really astonished us by developing a series of maladies, the never-failing consequence of the vicious habit of which it treats. The dear connexion pointed out between the assigned cause and the effects is perceptible to every capacity. V.'e strongly recommend the work.—Age. The multitude of books daily coming from the press, some, nay most of them, of a very questiona'ile tendency, made us ex tremely reluctant to take up another. flaring. however, hen induced by the character given of this work by an intelligent friend, we ventured to open its pages, and now feel no hesita tion in saying that we arise from Its perusal instructed and edified. The clear exposition c f the source of many of those diseases which proves so fatal to youth, and which are set down by the every-day observer as the result of common causes, such a; exposure to cold, sudden vicissitudes of tempe rature, hereditary taint, &c., is truly convincing and extre mely satisfactory. We say " satisfactory," inasmuch as Messrs. Curtis have shown that many diseases, such as Pulmonary Consumption, Epilepsy, hitherto the opprobria of medi cine, may, when taken in proper time, and submitted to judi cious treatment, be brought to as favourable a termination as any other class of affections. We do not think we go too far in saying that. society is deeply indebted to the authors for producing so useful, so much wanted, so valuable, and so truly moral a book —Conservative Journal. We recommend the work entitled " Manhood,' &C., to the careful perusal of persons of all classes. The moral as well as physical advantages sure to result from such perusal, will be most readily recognised and felt by those who stand most in need of them.—Statcsman. Messrs.

"In endeavouring to ascertain the cause of this most deplorable state of things, we big to assure your Majesty that after patient and dispassionate! investigation, we have been constrained to admit the conviction, that it is to be found primarily and chiefly in those laWs which, by un righteously interfering with the arrangements of our be neficent Creator, produce an artificial scarcity of food, .impose shackles on trade and commerce, cramp the efforts of industry, and, even where they seem to benefit, occa sion only a delusive advantage. " Encouraged - by the parental solicitude which your Majesty has uniformly manifested fiir the well-being of your subjects, we humbly, yet most earnestly solicit your Majesty's gracious interposition on this behalf, so far as it can be constitutionally rendered ; assured that nothing more becoines the dignity or answers to the office of Princes and Potentates, than an imitation of the Sove reign Miler, who is good to all, and whose tender mercies are over all his works.' The Rev. Mr. FLETCHER seconded the motion. They knew full well the opinion of her Majesty already -con stitutionally expressed.—(Cheees.) Their object was not to enlighten their Sovereign, but to show her that a _ large and influential body of her subjects coincided in her opinion.—(Cheers.) The CHAIRXAN then put th ! address, which was con sidered- to :em'antly t imrvrrf . kbrebt' forence as to the corn and provision laws. The address was carried by acclamation. The Rev. Mr. SMITE, A.M.,,tutor of Rotheram Aca demy, moved that the Rev. Dr. Cox, P.D. and LL.D., the Rev. Thomas Spencer, A.M., of Bath, the Secretaries of the Conference, and the Rev. Messr'. Atkinson, Chaplain, Massie, Fletcher, and M'Kerrow, be appointed to present the address to her Majesty. This question was one of life or death to this great country.—(Hear, hear.) The destiny of the world were bound up in the condition of England. • He trusted that God would deli ver us•from the incubus that rested upon the count ry. — (Hear, hear.) In this question was bound up the wel fare, the progress, and the happiness of this land. Many parts of Scotland were within a hair-breadth of the starv ing point. The poor had everything to gain and nothing to loose, and prayed that the influence of the Confe rence might prevent the eitamities which he foreboded were fast corning on the land if the present system of exclusive commercial intercourse was longer continued. The Rev. Dr. VAUGHAN, of Kensington, seconded the resolution, which was put and carried unanimously. It was moved by the Rev. Mr. MAssIE, and seconded by the Rev. Mr. GwyrnEn, that George Thompson, Esq., be requested to address the Conference.• The mo tion was carries: by acclamation. • GEORGE THOMPSON, Esq., then came forward amidst the most rapturous applause. His strength would not permit him to do more at that msment than read the document he held in •his hand for their consideration, and, indeed, it was unnecessary, as it contained all that he could say on the subject. Gazing upon the unex ampled assembly he saw around him, he gave thanks to God on behalf of the perishing poor.—(Loud cheers.) Mr. George Thompson then read 211 address to the people of Great Britain and Ireland, which was as follows : " TO THE PEOPLE OF THE UNITED KINGDO3I OF GREAT BRITAIN AND IRELAND. " FELLOW-COUNTRYMEN—An assembly of Christian ministers, unprecedented in its numbers, and embracing almost every denomination, _yet united as• one by the object which has brought us together, we proceed in the discharge of our duty, to lay before you the result of our deliberations. " Suffer us to claim for our present very brief ad dress the calm and earnest attention which the import ance and solemnity of the subject demand. " We were convened for the purpose of considering the laws restricting the food of the community. " We have endeavoured to approach this subject with minds uninfluenced by party faeling or sectional interests, and to try all questions submitted to us by the unerring standard of Scriptural morality. "Our attention has, in the first place, been directed to the principle upon which the corn and provision laws of this country are based. The immediate effect of these laws is to make the food of the people dear. It is de monstrable that thissan be done only by rendering food scarce. From the artificial scarcity so created the diffe rent classes of consumers escape, In proportion to their wealth, the evil pressing with accumulating severity upon the humbler classes exactly in the degree of their inability to sustain the burden. " These laws operate cpAW4.74;grfi.Yt.ilvg' tkive; in' 'conseCiiincT-o rfii, • a.e4; nevitcoie in crease in the numbers of the people. " The most painful evidence of the truth .1 this prin ciple has baen laid before us from all parts of the king dom, proving the poverty and privations of the labouring classes, whose general fortitude under their augmenting wretchedness has awakened our symp tthy, and called for our peesent interference in their behalf. " In addition to the existence of domestic suff,:rings, often in the most dktressing f,erms of misery and dis ease, proof of an increased mortality has been forced upon us, and we have had the appalling fact disclosed that fa- mine already is doing its deadly work among the • most destitute portions of the community. " The • moral effects of the corn and provision-laws have occupied our serious consideration. " It has been proved to us that the physical deteriora tion of multitudes of our countrymen has produced an alarming amount of demoralization. Under this aspect, these laws have appeared to us to require the most anxious attention of all who are concerned for the ad vancement of the spiritual and eternal interests of their fellow -creatures. •` As Christian ministers, prizing above all other con siderations the interests of morality and religion, we have been unable to anticipate without apprehension and dread the growth and developMent of those passions which are stimulated and called into action by hunger and destitution. " Fellow countrymen ! We have asked ourselves if the calamities we have Ewen called to conteMplate, and the more dreadful consequences with which'We are threatened; are to be regarded as th e j ust j u d gment an d visitation o f the Almighty ; and ou r unan i mous answer is—no. 'W have sought instruction in the word and through the works of God, and have been taught by both that a bountiful and unfailing provision has been made for the wants of every living creature.• We stand forth, there fore, to assert and vindicate the divine wisdom and bene ficence.- We charge existing misery and impending danger neon the selfish or ignorant inventions of man, which have frustrated the principal designs of the Ruler of the universe. " The chastisements we are enduring are self-inflicted, our national distresses are the results of a departure by human legislation from the spirit and mandates of the Divine law ; and our strong conviction is, that our pre sent deliverance and future'safety are to be secured only, by recognis'ng and tbse:ving the unerring and clearly revealed will of a beneficent Creator. " Our duty, then, as ministers of religion is plain. On scriptural grounds we are called upon to denounce all human restrictions upon the supply of food to the people, and to employ all appropriate means to place the fatherly provision of God within reach of his suffering and famishing children. " In the attainment of this object, we affectionately call upon the Christian public to aid us by an instant, an unite:, and a vigorous effort. The case is one of es- tretne urgency. — .The poor are daily perishing, and though we would not stay the hand of individual chat . . r:ty „, must declare our solemn conviction that all as sistance will prove ineffectual to the relief of prevailing wretchedness -during- the continuance of laws which im . piously interfere with. and limit the enjoyment of the all-sufficient bounties of Divine Providence. `• Our first advice to our brethren and friends through out the country is to investigate the subject now before them. " Let every one convinced sf the justice and necessity of abolishing these laws, do all in his power, in the spirit of meekness and love, to enlighten and convince those who are arou4d him. Under the responsibilities of cid zmship, let every opportunity be embraced of bringing the nature and effects of the corn and provision laws under the notice of the 'Legislature. " We would also earnestly exhort those who are suffer ing from the operation of these laws to be peaceful and loyal, and to co-operate in all Christian and constitu tional efforts to effect their extinction with patience, re lying upon the sympathy of their friends, and the bles sing of the Most High. Finally, let increasing supplication ascend, that it may please the God and Father of us all to give our law makers the wisdom that is profitable to direct and to in cline their hearts to do justice and love mercy." The Rev. Mr. IhrroN, after eulogising the sentiments contained in the address, moved its adoption. Dr. Cox, the Chairman, intimated that a request had been made by several newspapers for a copy of the-ad dress to the Queen, with a view to publication. He thought it indecorous that the address should be pub lished before presentation to her , Majesty. Ile therefore trusted that the nimble-fingered and all-veracious Press would take this into consideration, and receive the inti- illation kindly from his lips. The Rev. Mr. AlAssiE seconded the adoption o: the address in an able and energetic speech. It was agreed and ordered to be printed and circulated throughout the kingdom. The Bev. Mr. SCALES then moved the ado )t'on of ti .e following petition to Parliament:— - . " TO THE HONOURABLE THE COMMONS, ETC. " The humble petition of a Conference o f Mi n i s t ers o f Religion, of various Christian denominati ons , an d f rom all parts of the United Kingdom, held in the town of Manchester. on Tuesday, Aug. 17, and foll ow i ng d a y s; " Showeth, that your petitioners are ministers of the God of love and mercy, who have assembled to con sider the laws which restrict the supply of the food of the people. • ' " That to your petitioners, dwelling in the midst of their respective charges, and, by habits of frequent and pastoral intercourse, familiar with their actual con dition, and still further informed by the - evidence siib- - mitted to this Conference by unimpeachable witnesses ; it is most unquestionable, that evils the most serious are preying on the very vitals of the country, and that the labouring classes throughout the kingdom are sinking into the lowest condition of physical suffering, and pining away under a", wasting destitution of the neces saries of life. " That your petitioners would feel themselves most unworthy of the of they sustain, and the Master they serve, were they to view such . a state of things with indifference, or to allow it to become daily more and more .aggravated? without directing their attention to its cause, and seeking the means of its alleviation. " That, to your petitioners, it appears obvious beyond all doubt, that whatever other causes may have contri buted to the frightful amount of misery which they de plore, the principal has been the provision laws, which make the very necessaries of life scarce and dear, a.nd by their mischievous operation have at the same time en hanced the price of food and diminished the ability to purchase it ; and that as obviously the remedy fur flits evil is the abrogation of the laws which have produced it. "That, to your petitioners, it is manifest that any law tending to produce. a scarcity of the food necessary to sustain the life of man, or to increase its price, and so to throw difficulties in the way of procuring it, is a wrong Imo to society at large, and a direct and glaring violation of the will and law of the universal Parent of mankind. " That your petitioners are only acting in the spirit of their office when they remind your Honourable House that laws of human legislatures should be framed in strict accordance with the declared will of God and ,the benefi- • Cent designs of his providence ; and that all, laws which contradict his will, and counteract his bounty, must of necessity be wrong in principle, and injurious in their tendency ; and that it is the deliberate and solemn con viction a this assembly that this is the unrighteous clue-. ' - xaetr. 'of the operittiOri of the provision-laws of this king dom, under whose baneful influence our beloved country is severed from profitable intercourse with other coun tries which are reads , to exchange their products for our manufactures—the skill and labour of the industrious classes of our countrymen are rendered of less and less avail to their own subsistance, whilst immense numbers of them from day to day are thrown out of employment, and reduced to a state of utter destitution ; or caStupon the rapidly decreasing resources of the humane and cha ritable, who, in their turn, are sinking down into the ab ject condition of paupers ; and famine, disease, and death are spreading with 'fearful desolation throughout the length and breadth of this once prosperous and happy land. " Your petitioners, therefore, convinced of the sinful ness of these laws, which violate the paramount law of God and restrict the bounty of his providence ; of th►'ir injurious operation on the domestic comforts, and the social, moral, and religious conditibn of the people of these realms ; of the vast amount of evil they have already produced, and of the fearful rapidity with ,which they are driving on their injured and suffering victims to despondency or desperation, and threatening the peace and safety of the empire, implore your Honourable House, as you fear that God who is the .friend and avenger of the poor, as you love that country Whose in terests are committed into your hands, to take into your early and most serious consideration the provision laws, and especially the Corn-laws, which have wrought this enormous amount of evil and misery, for the purpose of devising such means as to your Hon. House may seem meet for their abolition. " And your petitioners will ever pray," &c. The Rev. Mr. M'KEnnow seconded the adoption of the petition. The destitution throughout the Country was extreme. They had received 460 communications from almost every county in England, and from most in \Vales and Scotland, and every one of them contained the most conclusive evidence Of the injurious bearings of the Corn-laws upon almost every class of the community. They would prepare them for - pAlicaqon, and he was sure they would tell upon the public mind.—(Hear.) The petition was then agreed to. • The Rev. Mr. JAMES, of Birmingham, here inquired whether, if the Corn-laws were repealed, our agricultu rists could compete with the Continental growers, and if not, to what use could the land of this country turned ? After some observations, it was agreed that Mr. Cobden should be requested to reply to the question. A motion to that effect was made and agreed to. Men Ann COBIE:':N, ESQ., M.P., then presented him self amidst loud cheers. He had been asked whether the agr:culturists of this country could compete with those abroad if the Corn-laws were repealed, or, in other words, could they sell corn as cheap as it could he im ported from other countries fir sale? The agriculturists, in 1815, asserted that they coul,l not possibly exist it corn was less than eighty or ninety shillings per quarter, and in five years after it went down to half that sum. When the present Corn-laws came into operation, it was confidently affirmed that the agriculturists could not live if corn was under 565. per quarter, and yet in 1835, when corn was no more than 395. 4d. per sera;wr,., !eines&ofland-bektg Abrimn of Vairikes- - • ment, in that ,yery session there were no less aim four acts of the Legislature obtained to sanction the inclosure of additional tracts of land.—(Cheers.) He held it presumptuous for any body of men to say what might be the price of corn at which we could pro diice. Lord Stanley has said, wile,: presiding over the great ogrieultural meeting the other t.!•ty at Liverpcul, that the man who should at this time focn a corgi c; estimate of our national improvements during the next century would be considered a visionary enwsiast. With such sentiments as th2se, how would he venture to predict the consequences which would result from a re peal of the Corn-laws, with all the advantages of science, and the additional stimulus which would be imparted to individual exertion ? From the evidence taken before the Poor-law Committee in 1830, it appeared undeniable that when food was at a high price the labourer was plunged down to the lowest diet. The wages of the peasant were not so good in dear as in cheap years. Thus, evidently, the labouring classes were peculiar!y interested in the price of food.—(Hear, hear.) Let even the worst anticipations of the opponents of the Corn-laws be fulfilled, it would only have the effect of lessening the landlords' rents ; and, without advocating. Agrarian principles, even if the Duke of Rutland emi grated, as he had threatened, why he could not take the land along with him.—(Cheers.) They had evidence to prove that the people were not sufficiently fed, and coin pared with the labourers of the United States of America, they were ty.-,t half feti.--(Hear.) His conviction was, that repeal would benefit the landlords as much as any other class. The transition state would no doubt have its in - conveniences, and he would have no objection to legislativ e enactments to assist the working of total repeal ; but ulti mately it would be beneficial to the landowner. In Switzerland, where there was no Corn-law, the land was three times more valuable than in Suabi.z and the neighbouring territories, from which the Swiss drew their supply of corn. In Devonshire, DorsetShire, and Sussex, the wages of the labourer amounted to no more than Bs. or Os. a-week. He employed alone 600 workmen in the neighbourhood of Manchester, and the most unskilful amongst them earned 12s. a-week. What benefit, then, did agricultural labourers derive from the operation of the Corn-laws ?—(Hear, hear.) He tendered them his sincere thanks on behalf of the body with which he was connected. They had . given an impetus to free trade greater than that imparted by the Anti-Corn-law League during the two years that Association had been in operation. If such was the effect of the invitation of the twenty-six Manchester ministers, who had brought seven hundred of their brethren together, what might be hoped for if the hundreds in London would rend an invitation to their brethren throughout • the king dom ?—(Loud and continued cheering.) Yes, gentle men, why not meet in the metropolis—(Tremendous applause)—and why not alsocome attended by their pee:. ple?—(Cheers and laughter.) Let Exeter-hall be filled by their people.—(Hear and laughter.) Its walls were accustomed io the voices of those who sought to strike the fetters from the slave, and where was the difference between stealing the liberty of a man, and depriving him of the fruits of his industry ?—(Cheers.) Ile hoped that they might count upon the co-operation of every indi vidual in that vast assembly—(Loud cheers)--and (pointing to the ladies at the lower end of the ball) he trusted, too, that they might count upon the aid of the fair, who were ever foremost in the cause of humanity.— (Cheers.) However (lark the atmosphere might now ap pear around them, if the two were united, they would soon see the bright beam of sunshine upon their future efforts. (The Honourable Member sat-down amidst rei- terated applause.) The Rev. E. IL NoLAN moved "That the petition to the House of Commons be presented by the Members for Manchester and Salford, and that Richard Cobden, Esq., M.P. for Stockport, be requested to support such peti tion ; also that the petition to the House of Lords be presented by Lord Ducie." The Rev. PATRICK BREWSTER,' of Pais!ey, seconded the motion. The Rev. Mr. DAvis said that, although only 700 sig natures might be appended to the petition, many of them were deputed by four or five congregations. At a mode rate computation they had assembled there the represen tatives of about 2,000 congregations.—(Cheers.) The Rev. P. MURSELL, of Leicester, moved the fol lowing resolution :—" That this Conference earnestly recommends to all who may approve it, to set apart Monday the Gth of September, as a day for humiliation before Almighty God, on account of our sins, an d f or solemn prayer that it might please him in his superin tending providence to remove the distresses which at this time atHict the country, and which especially bow down the hearts of the suffering poor, to revive trade and com merce in the land, and to endow our senators at this important crisis with the wisdom which is profitable to direct." it was seconded by J. `VERB ANNSLEY, and carried nem. con. An address from the Operative Anti-Corn-law Asso ciation was then received, when thanks were voted to the Chairman, and the meeting broke up at a late hour. NORTH KENT RAILWAY.—Th e journey from London to Rochester and Chatham will be reduced to an hour and a half, viz., from London to Black Wall by railway, tel minutes ; from Blackwell to Gravesend, an hour -; and from Gravesend to Rochester by new rail way, twenty minutes.

F. FERGUSON CAINIROUX, See. ANTI-CORN-LA NV CONFERENCE. MANCHESTER, AUGUST 20. The members of the Conference assembled this morn ing at ten o'clock. The business had been got through on the previous evening, but it was thought advisable to prolong; the sitting another day, in order to afford se veral Rev. Gentlemen, who had been unavoidably put wide at the previous sittings, an opportunity of ex pressing their sentiments on the all-important question of the Corn-laws. The interest manifested by the public, in its proceedings, was in no degree abated, and the great hall was crowded. The Rev. THOMAS SPENCE, of Hinton, near Bath, took the Chair. A great number of statements were then laid before the meeting . , bearing upon the Corn-law question, by ministers from Ireland, Wales, and Scotland, and se veral counties of England. The manufacturing, the agricultural, and the milling districts, were all re presented. The inhabitants of • those several lo calities had hailed the P.nnouncement of the Conference of Ministers in Manchester with joy, and had m )st cheerfully contributed, and that, in several instances, most liberally, to supply the means to defray the expenses of their journey. The statements made by these gentlemen as to the effect of the Corn-laws in the various localities in which they resided strongly ex emplified the evils resulting from elms legislation and our present system of restrictive policy, and when arranged and condensed into one focus, they will tell powerfully upon the public mind. Lord Ducte, Mr. Gisborne, the late Member fI. Carlow, and other visitors of influence were on the platform. The latter addressed the aseembly at the special request of the whole body. The Hen. Gentleman said that, although he was a farmer, the Corn-laws were no protection to him, while, at the same tithe, they were the cause of an unascertainable amount of mischief t o a l mos t eve ry class of .the commu nity. The following resolution was proposed by the Rev. Walter Scott, professor of Airedale College, to the following effect : " That, without pretending to exercise any authority which its temporary constitution does not give, or pre suming to prescribe any course t o b e purs ue d by the members of it. after its conclusion, this Conference would respectfully suggest that considerable efficiency may be given to its purposes and resolutions by such publications of its proceedings as they may deem suitable in their se veral localities, by availing themselves of the instrumen tality 'of the press to circulate information on the general subject, and by congregational or local petitions to both Houses of Parliament." Thanks were voted to the inhabitants of Manchester for their kindness and hospitality in entertaining the members of the Conference during its sitting. . _ The SECRETARY intimated that a deputation of the Anti-Corn-law League would wait upon them in the evening, and that George Thompson, Esq., would then eeliver a valedictory address. The morning sitting then terminated. AFTERNOON SITTING. The members of the Conference assembled as usual at four o'clock. The interest manifested by the public in the proceedings had, if possible, increased, and the hall was crowded to excess. The Rev. Dr. Cox having taken tl.e chair, The Rev. Mr. APKERROW opened the business by reading a letter from the Rev. Mr. Candlish, of Edin burgh, one of the leaders of the non-intrusion party in the Church of Scotland. The Reverend Gentleman agreed generally with the party who had summoned the Con ference as to the injurious tendency of the Corn-laws, and apologised for his absence on other grounds. The Rev. Mr. ACKWORTH, of Horton College, Brad ford, came forward amidst loud cheers to move the con sideration and adoption of an address to the Queen. The Committee, in wording the address, had avoided all allusion to party politics. They would, if possible, have made some reference to the late measures proposed by her Majesty's Ministers, and which were likely to cost them the forfeiture of the Government of this country, but fearing that it might have the appearance of a party movement they had thought it better to avoit it alto gether.—(Hear, hear.) He then read the memorial, which was to the following effect : " TO HER MOST GRACIOUS MAJESTY. " May it please your Majesty—We your Majesty's dutiful and loyal subjects, being Christian Ministers of various denominations, and from different parts of the United Kingdom, assembled in Manchester the 17th, 18th, 19th, and 20th days of August, 1841, to consider the laws restricting the food of the kingdom, beg per mission to approach your Majesty with an expression of our sentiments in relation to the momentous subject which has thus brought us together. "In craving this indulgence, we beseech your Majesty to believe that we are influenced by an affectionate vene ration for the person, and an ardent attachment to the throne of your Majesty, as well as by a deep heartfelt interest in the subject itself. " Our unceasing prayer to the Supreme Ruler is, that he will continue to smite on your Majesty, your august Consort, and your illuStrious offspring, preserving your Majesty in the uninterrupted - enjoyment - of health, sur rounding you with all the endearments of domestic life, and after rendering you, through a long course of years, , ~~~ :4: z' z / ,(C7V-Gle ,4 PRICE 5(1 4 mile:4, 12st each. 5 subs.

On Friday a second purse of sovereigns, liberally sub scribed by the Directors and friends who had witnessed on board the Bachelor the match of last Tuesday, gave the most noted scullery of the day another opportunity of exhibiting their prowess. This had been got up for the seven unsuccessful men in the match to which we have alluded, and the following were the competitors : John Connoway Horsleydown Stripes. Henry Godfrey Old Swan White. J. Kelly Fulham Pink. J. Maynard Lambeth Yellow. C. Perry Lambeth Red. John Phelps Fulham Green. H. Shelton Lambeth Black. The distance, it will be remembered, on Tuesday was against tide, and two heats were rowed in the distance from London -bridge to Chelsea; this, however, was from Swan t o Swan with the stream, about 51 miles. The Bachelor steam-boat was, as before, chartered for the conveyance of the Directors and their friends, and the Bridegroom for the public to view the match. A great deal of boffins took place on board the former. Connoway, the hi therto leading favourite on the Thames, had fallen into disrepute as a sculler. It was evident he could not last, and Maynard divided with Phelps the favouritism. Kelly was next in repute. At half-past four the starting galley with the umpire, the Leander Club, and several other cutters, rowed by gentlemen, went to the starting place, where the wagermen took their several positions, and as far as the latter went we could see no advantage in station. The start was grand, Connoway, as had been expected, bad the best of it, and took the first place at. an extraordinary speed. Godfrey dropped astern slightly after the first few strokes, and Shelton, Perry; and Maynard were all scull and scull. Kelly immediately afterwards joined the party. At this time one of the best men was deprived of all chance of vic tory by an accident. As Kelly was making play for a lead a cutter belonging to one of the other parties came across his wherry and swamped it, and he was obliged to juni into a galley that was passing at the instant. Connoway did not maintain his lead for more than half a mile. Phelps and Shelton rowed by him at once, and a great struggle ensued between these two for the first place. Phelps just below Blackfriars Bridge appeared to have got the best of it, but - it was only for a moment. Shelton picked up his boat, and gradually went in advance. Maynard passed Connoway, and ere the arrival of the party at Westminster Bridge the latter had dropped into the fifth place. Between the first pair it was a first-rate display all the way up. In vain did Phelps endeavour to overhaul his opponent. Although encouraged by the deafening shouts of his backers and friends all his efforts was unavailing. Shelton maintained the lead, and won by two lengths only. Maynard was third, six lengths a stern of . the second man. The prizes were presented to the winners by Mr. Chaplin on board the Bachelor. POLICE TESTIMONY.—The following has ap peared in several of the Sunday Papers :—ln our last week's paper we gave an account of the gross misconduct of a policeman named Russell, belonging to the F divi sion, who swore to having seen an " unfortunate" girl, five successive nights, in the Strand, exercising her wretched calling, and annoying gentlemen who were passing ; while the fact was, that during the whole of the period sworn to by this credible witness (except the night of her apprehension) the poor creature was confined in rne House of Correction. There is, however, one part of that account which we have since been desired to cor rect. The worthy Magistrate (Mr. Jardine) was not informed of the result of the investigation made by the Police Commissioners ; on the- contrary, they had not the courtesy to-make any communication at all to him upon the subject. On Monday morning last Russell (notwithstandin g all that had so recently taken ploa , e) had the hardihood again to bring befora. the same Ma gistrate (Mr. Jardine) another unfortunate female, whom he charged I . vjth baying bed -dL , irderlY in il;e Strand -en the previous . 'right. His evidence: on this occasion was o f so sitspnnous a nature, theft the wor thy Yeigistrate again refused to act upon it ; and the firllov-ing - morning he sent for Sandrock, the super interAent of the F division, and on his arrival informed him 'of the evidence given by Rusaeli on the previous day, and that the prisoner lnal called a witness whose evidence completely rebutted his'statement—adding, that he (Mr. Jardine) felt very much inclined again to en dorse on the charge sheet a memorandum to the effect that he did not credit the evidence of the policeman Russell. Mr. Jardine then said that he would take that opportunity of publicly expressing his astonisha out (to use the mildest term) at the extraordinary conduct of the POlice Commissioners in retaining Russell in the tbrenafter having had their attention called to the re marl; which he had felt it to ba his imperative duty, as i Magistrate, to make on the charge sheet with refer ence to :Russell's conduct. He would repeat that Russell in the evidence he had given against Jane Field, had evidently been guilty of wilful perjury, and if Filch gross conduct were allowed to pass unnoticed .by the Police Commissioners, particularly after having had their attention called to it by a Magistrate, he trembled for the consequences, witnessing, as he did, the number of c h arges th at were , ily brought before that Court, by policemen, whose evidence was altogether unsupported. With, regard to the want of courtesy the Commissioners of Police had shown, in not informing him of the result of their investigation into Russell's conduct, he would abstain front making any remarks, but he desired him (Sdrock) to report to them, that he (Mr. Jardine) and his brother Magistrates had for a long time past viewed the conduct of Russell with great suspicion, which was confirmed by what had since transpired with reference to the case of Jane Field. His conduct ou Monday had rendered that suspicion still stronger. Sandrock, after listening to the above observations, promised to report them to the Commissioners, muttering something about Russell not being " quite so good a policeman as he ought to be." The result of Sandrock's report has not been forwarded to Mr. Jardine, but on inquiry, we have been informed that Russell has received an intimation from the Com missioners, that " his resignation would be accepted," and he has since resigned accordingly. ELOPEMENT IN HIGH LIFE.—A considerable esnsation was recently excited in Brussels, in conse quence of the sudden elopement of the daughter of one of the members of the Chamber of Peers and of the Belgian Government with a Belgian of high family and agreeable manners. The young lady, who is described as being exceedingly beautiful and accomplished, is in her 19th year, and one of the richest heiresses in Belgium, it being reported that upon her arriving at age she would become possessed of no less a sum than 32,0001. per annum (English money). The young lady became acquainted with her abductor through the medium of her maid, and secret correspondence had been carried on for months prior to the elopement, which took place about a month since, the parties coming to England direct by an Antwerp steam-ship. The tether of the young lady soon discovered his daughter's flight, and, learning the route taken, he proceeded direct to England ; being most in timately,acquainted with _AL fan do Weyer, the Belgian i rer, he lost eiglituei4e4 3 ' in gS ol 4lek ti l e e-' $' tettailiSilatiliteidigrrtte ricitttig — attschilo the Police, Commissioners ', ofTPA: to - request their assistance, and next morning obtained the consent of the Home Secretary to allow of the service of th e Metro politan Police being made use of in discovering the retreat of the lovers. Two of the Inspectors of the A division, Messrs. Hughes and Partridge, were em ployed in the affair ; and, after a great deal of trouble and exertion, Inspector Hughes succeeded in tracing the fngitives to the Saracen's Head, Snow-hid, the first inn they had stepped at on their arrival in London. From thence they warn traced to different hotels and 13dg-ing-- houses in the West-end, and at some of which apartinents had only been nominally taken with the intention of blinding 'those in pursuit of them. At last the party was found located at a lodging-house in Albany-street, Regent's-park. The Inspector, in the course of his in quiries, ascertained that the banns had been put up in no less than six churches, and on the day subsequent to the lady's capture she would have been married at a Lutheran chapel in the neighbourhood of Bedford square, of which a Belgian is the clergyman. Inspector Hughes, having discovered the retreat of the lady, lost no time in communicating with her parent, who accom panied him to a public-house opposite, from the windows of which they could watch the motions of the inmates. In a short time the lady's maid showed herself at the window, and she was instantly recognised by the young lady's father. After waiting a considerable time longer the gentleman who had eloped with the lady left the house, and immediately that he was out of sight the father made his appearance before his astonished daughter, whom he took with all possible speed to the residence of the Belgian Minister. On the same even ing (Saturday last) a post-chaise was ordered, and the father, daughter, maid, and th e I ns p ec t or p rocee d e d to Dover, which place the latter, person did not leave till Sunday afternoon, having seen the young lady and her father safe on board a Calais packet. The names of the parties figuring in the above have been kept a profound secret. It is said the gentleman who brought the lady from Brussels recently held a situation of some eminence in the Belgian Government.—Correspondent of a Sun day Paper. _ . ADULTERATION OFBEER.—TheCommission ers of Excise have lately turned their attention to the frequency of this offence, and have resolved that the name of every publican who has been convicted of adulterating his beer shall be forwarded to the Justices to whom he will have to apply for a renewal of his license, and they have come to a determination of depriving sach convicted party of his license altogether. This, certainly, is a very severe measure, but still it is considered abso lutely necessary- for the protection of the fair trader and the community. It is notorious that a nu:nber of pub licans make four butts of three, and even three out of two, by the mixture of water, sugar, salt, and delete- . rious drugs, and then retail it to the honest artizan and others at 24d. and 3d. per poi:. Respectable licensed victuallers living in the neighbourhood of these rot • gut rascals are too frequently compelled to close their houses, being unable to hold out against such vile coin • petition, and too honest to adopt similar means of re taliation ; hence their certain ruin. The public ought to know that every pot of beer drawn by a publican costs him 3d., and is it likely that we are to have it from him at the same price ? It is the duty of the publicans then, seeing the jeopardy in which they stand, to unite more firmly, and come to a resolution to sell a genuine article at a lair living profit, and those that under-sell and play tricks with their beer will speedily be driven from the neighbourhood in which they reside. —Sunda Times. " JAMES HATFIELD. AND THE BEAUTY OF BUTTERmERE."—After many fruitless conjectures on the part of the curious reader, as to the authorship of this sin gular and interesting production, which has been ascribed to various individuals, from the writers of" EugeneA ram" and " Paul Clifford," to those of " Oliver Twist" and " Jack Sheppard," the real author has at length come forward, and avowed himself in the person of the son of §ir Ed inn nd Carrington, Dart., giving another proof, so appa re* t in the present day, of the frequent combination of high literary talent with aristocratic distinction. It is singular that, while we have experienced such constant rains in this neighbourhood, the weather in Skye and the other western islands , (usually so very wet), has been remarkably dry and fine. So favourable a season has not been witnessed there for many years ; and one farmer (Mr. Smith, at Sconser) had the rare ~,00d fortune to cut, winnow, and stack an excellent crop of hay, without one drop of rain.—lnverness Courier. In c onsequence of the great inconvenience felt, attended with injurious effects, to persons' eye-sight in the country, by their not being enabled to be properly suited with Spmtaeles, &c.. and which have come under the notice (to some extent) of the Messrs. S. anti B l Solomons, Opticians, &c., 39, Albemarle-street, Piccadilly, opposite the York Hotel, and 76, King William-street, City; they have contrived a mode by which individuals at the most remote part of the globe can be suited with their Newly.invented Spectacles, as corre;t as if the person were present ; by these who have never made use of Spectacles, stating the number of inches they can see moderate sized print tram the eye, and those who are making use of Spectacles by sending them, and making the same statement when in use.

Their Sound Magnifiers Invisible Voice Conductors, will enable persons at an advanced age, and of 40 and 50 years' standing of extreme deafness to join in general conversation, and to catch the sound of a distant low speaker at a public assembly ; they are not in the least perceptible, nor more uncomfortable, than having a small piece of fine wool in its place. The Sound Magnifiers, lnvi. sible Voice Conductors and Spectacles, are cent daily (by post) to various parts of the country. 39, Albemarle-street, Piccadilly, op. polite the York Hotel, and 76, King William-street, City.—No connection with persons of the same name. rvIORNIS(I SUN. 4-tm" tf,t t '/9
