The destructive effects of such a material for specta -0,,. to imperfect vision, may be ascertained at any respectable n London. lqks Messrs.

The Work which is now presented to the public is the result of very extended experience in a class of diseases and affec tions, which for some unaccountable reason have been either altogether overlooked, or treated with apathy, and almost in difference, by the culinary practitioner. To enter into the details of these affections, to point out their causes, and to mark the terrific consequences, social, moral, and physical, which are sure to follow from indulgence, in certain habits, would be entirely out of place in an advertisement. We have no hesitation, however, in saying that there is no member of society, by whom the book will not be found interesting, whe ther we consider such person to hold the relation of a PA RENT, a PRECEPTOR, or a CLERGYMAN.

FORGERY IN HOLL AND.—A letter from the Hague, of the 6th instant, states :—" A case of forgery, recently discovered here, has produced a great sensation. A manufacturer of Leyden, who had fallen into difficulties some time before the accession of the present King, and had obtained his Majesty's confidence while Prince of Orange. had received various sums of money from him ; and his Royal benefactor had gone so far as to put his name to some bills, which the manufacturer readily got cashed. Taking advantage of this, he forged the Prince's name on several other bills, circulated them, and obtained 100,000 florins from one capitalist alone at Amsterdam. The man was arrested not long ago at Rotterdam, and is to be tried for the offence. He has endeavoured to screen himself by threatening to disclose some secrets concerning the present King, of which he boasts that he is in posses sion. His Majesty is determined that justice shall pursue its course with :his individual."

The skeleton, which is in an oaken case, where there is no doubt it has been for upwards of a century, is five feet six inches and a half high ; and it is supposed by several medical men and anatomists who had seen it, that Wild, during his lifetime, must have been five feet eight to nine inches in height. Upon the coffin plate, composed of sheet-iron, which is now nailed to the oaken case, there is the following inscription, clearly legible, punched in, in the usual manner adopted then and since by the undertakers:—" Mr. Jonathan Wild, died May 24, 1725, in ye 42d year of his age." It may be observed that Wild was executel at Ty. burn on this day. With the trifling exception of the loss of a portion of the forefinger of the right hand, the left thumb, and a few teeth (which have fdlen out, ttrere are three in the head now, quite sound) the skeleton is in every respect perfect. The skeleton can be traced back to the possession of a surgeon named Brand, who, at the period of the execution of Wild, was,:a particular friend of the then ordinary of Newgate. A medical practitioner at Windsor, Dr. Thomas, who died about 35 years ago, upwards of 74 years of age, finished his early studies under this Mr. Brand, who gave him the skeleton and oaken case, with the coffin plate in the precise state they are now in. When Dr. Thomas died, Mr. Reodall, a rela tive, came into possession both of his practice and the skeleton ; and upon Mr. Rendall retiring from business some years ago, be was succeeded by Mr. Fowler, the present possessor of the skeleton of this notorious cha racter. _ _ . —•• MEHEMET ALI.—A medal of the Pacha of Egypt, in silver and bronze, is about to be brought out un der the patronage of Sir M. Montefiore, with others of the Jewish persuasion, and most of the leading merchants in the city connected with the Egyptian trade, in order to commemorate his protection of commerce, patronage of the arts, and religious toleration. The face and bust of the medal is being taken by Mr. A. J. Stodhart, from a painting in the possession of Sir Moses Montefiore, just brought over from Egypt, where it was done expressly for him by the orders of the Pacha. The portrait will repre sent him as wearing the tabouche, after throwing off the turban, and the reverse of the medal will contain an alle gorical device, representing some of the most interesting events in hi; life. It is not generally known that some time since Lord Brougham made the Pacha of Egypt a present f 100 volumes of English scientific books, which the latte • had immediately translated into Arabic for dill tributim and use in the schools of Egypt. A copy of each of hese works was recently sent over by the Pacha as a pr sent to M. Galloway, father of the Bey of that name, ss ho recently died in his service. Just prior to the late interference of the Allied Powers, he was erecting an observatory on the banks of the Nile, which was to be placed under the control of the Royal Society of London. CIMIOUS CIRCUMSTANCE.—As the Regula tor coach, from Falmouth to Exeter, about a fortnight since, vas changing horses at Crockernwell, whilst the horsekeeper was engaged in taking out those which had gone the stage from Okchampton, owing to some sudden the fresh horses, which had b een l e d out and were impulse, standing ready tackled, with their cloths on, suddenly started off without the coach, running the whole way to Exeter, about eleven miles. What is very singular, the animals kept together the entire distance, as if they had been yoked to the coach, under a coachman's guidance. On their arrival at the Exeter gate the turnpike man stared not a little, as did many others on the road, to see the horses without their burden, and, surmising some ac cident, of course took charge of them. The horsekeeper in his fright followed, but was soon distanced, arriving, however, only half an hour after the horses. It is remark able the animals kept their accustomed time, and that only one of them lost its cloth on the way. The coach went on with the other horses---West Briton. ANNUAL DIVISION OF PROFITS. UNIVERSAI4 LIFE ASSURANCE SO CIETY, 1, King William-street, London. Established 1834. Empowered by Act of Parliament. One-fifth of the ascertained profits of the five preceding years is divided between the policy-holders and shareholders ; three-fourths to the former, and one-fourth to the latter. The remainin.; four-fifths are set apart to enter into the average of the succ,ding years, and thus to provide against unforeseen coritinge.cies. The f -st division of Profits took place on the 13th of May, 1840, when a reduction of 60 per cent. was declared on the annual premiums of all those polieies entitled to participation. Policies effected before the Second Wednesday in May will entitle the holders to participate in the profits twelve months earlier than those effected at a subsequent period.

By Order of the Board, DAVID JONES, Actuary. PROTESTANTISM and PUSEYISM. TO THE EDITOR OR THE SUN. Sra,—The controversy between Romanists and Church of Englandists still continuing to be carried on by both of them, allow me to inquire, through the medium of your widely circulated Journal, whether Dr. W. F. llook, of Leeds in Yorkshire, has answered the letters of VERAX ? This formidable antagonist of . the Reverend Doctor of the. North, is a Roman Catholic layman, well known to the learned for his profound researches into eccle siastical history. Tbat he has been successful in what is technically called "flooring" his Protestant opponent, may be presumed from the studied silence of the latter. VERAX took to himse:f the unenviable task of cudgelling the Doctor, in consequence of an ill-judged sermon de livered by him at Manchester, on the " Novelties of Romanism;" a sermon opposed not merely to the Church of Rome, but also to those, members of his own Church who have been upholding many points of genuine Romanism. Bating one doctrine of human ma nufacture—for it is not found in the New Testament— viz., the Royal supremacy, there seems to be no great difference behieen VERAX and the Puseyites. The lat ter have been acting as pioneers to the Church of Rome ; and if Providence has raised them up (un knowingly to themselvs), as his instruments for weak - ening the Church of England by internal schism, we may naturally look to some changes in our Church Affairs as being very near at hand. That a house which is divided against itself cannot stand. we read in a book which is appealed to not less -by VER kX than by Dr. Hooke. Both cite that book as the supreme autho rity.by which all religious disputes must be decided ; hot as the Romanist appears to have studied it with the greater degree of attention of the two, we must not wonder. at any victory which he may obtain over tho Protestant, although defended by the high-sounding appetlation of " Citaplaity in Ordinary to her Majeaty the Queen." , !!"" • . I have the honour to subscribe myself, Sir, your most obedient servant, A PROTESTANT, BUT NO HALF ROMANIST. TO INNKEEPERS AND POST- MASTERS. (FROM A CORRESPONDENT.) Government last year, to relieve the posting business, which lightly taxed railroads and untaxed steam-vessels had nearly crushed, reduced the assessed taxes on car riages let to hire to 31. per annum, whether used with one or two horses ; but many postmasters have within these few days received notice that this was only in tended on those solely let by the mile, and on which the duty of three halfpence per mile per horse was paid, and that carriages on which the duty is dif ferently paid must be charged as private carriages, which are subject to a progressive duty as follows : one, Gl. ; two, 13/. ; three, 21/. ; four. 301. ; five, 391. is. 6d. ; six, 49!. 4s. ; seven, 59/. 103., and so on. The unfortunate postmaster is therefore placed in a worse situation than ever ; there is no one but would always let by the mile if he could ; but the trade is in such a depressed state, that postmasters cannot obtain the amount required, particularly when the parties re turn in the carriage ; they are therefore obliged to let by the job or day, and pay one-fifth of the amount re ceived to the Government ; for distances of five miles out and five back carriages are commonly let with two horses for 10s., and a fifth, i. e. 2E. paid to the Excise ; but they claim Sc. 6d., and, with the assistance of the assessed taxes, arc likely to get the whole of the 10s. The same in letting for the day ; they seldom obtain as much as 6d. per mile per horse ; and if the Ex ciseman is to take three halfpence per mile, the trade must be entirely destroyed : the oppres sive tax laid on it has nearly ruined all en gaged in it ; and only wanted this finishing stroke ; and this, when gentlemen who can keep their own carriages are liable to no mileage ; they can drive where they please, lend to whom they please, and pay nothing, but a person who cannot afford to keep a carriage, and only uses one, from force of circumstances, as illness, busi ness, or, perhaps, once a year, to see his friends, is taxed three halfpence for every mile the horse he has hired goes out and home, and if he requires a horse for a day, he is taxed 2s. 6d. besides the regular as sessed taxes, or ss. for two horses, and if he agree for the job, the Postmaster says—l must have 10s., and 2s. 6d. the duty, makes 12s. 611. he has to pav'; thus me the middling classes taxed while the rich lawmakers escape ! tiounslow, April 12.

BROWNE and CARTWRIGHT, Surgeon- Dentists, 21, Fleet-street, beg to call public attention to their new and beautiful EVERLASTING TEETH, the most clean and wholesome that can be worn. 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 out ; 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 or 40 guineas ; a single tooth, one guinea ; three ditto, two guineas and a half. Natural teeth supplied from 5/. per set, or 10s. per tooth. Messrs. Browne and Cartwright's method of fitting neither requires the extraction of stumps nor gives the slightest pain ; and having had upwards of 20 years' experience in the profession, can guarantee to restore perfect mastication did articulation, having succeeded in thousands of cases, in hundreds of which other dentists had entirely failed. The above are totally different from the brittle glossy French teeth, usually supplies by dentists as newly-discovered mineral &c. A visit will convince the most sceptical of the fact. WILKINSON'S ANTI- CORROSION PAINT. REMOVED from 63, Upper Thames -street, to 54, WATLING-STREET, near Queen -street, Cheapside. J. R. WILKINSON particularly recommends his Paint to the Nobility, Gentry, and the Public, wbo wish to paint their houses of Roman cement, stucco, or brick walls, as a preven tive \ to damp or sea spra y in exposed situations; it will not blister or peel off as common paint. On tiling, to represent slating, iron hurdles, Nofs, conservatories, hot-houses, fences, farm, or any out-buildings, it will last four times as long as lommon paint. It is so simple in its use, that any labourer can lay it on. To ship-owners for their decks, bottoms of ves sels, &c., it will be shown, as well as to the public, to be supe rior to any paint in use, by testimonials of its lasting fourteen years on wood and houses, twenty years on iron (see the South wark-bridge). The public are particularly guarded in giving their orders for Wilkinson's Anti-Corrosion Paint, that no other colour may be imposed upon them for his. A liberal allowance to the trade. THE PRESIDENT STEAMER. We are sorry to say that it is not in our power to communicate any favourable information with regard to this long and anxiously expected vessel. It is now thirty-three days since she left New York, and from that time to the present nothing has been heard of her. The rumour of a large steamer seen off Falmouth, and conjectured to be the President,. brought by way of L on d on, an d ano th e r rumour et a similar vessel seen off Cork, on which the Dublin papers founded an anticipation of the arrival of the missing vessel, have both proved to be unfounded, and we are sorry to say that a report which was cur rent in Liverpool yesterday, to the effect that Mrs. Roberts, the wile of the captain of the President, had received a letter from her husband, announcing his safe arrival at Madeira is equally so. For about an hour this report was confidently believed, and even announced at the Under wr i ters ' R ooms , b u t an imme diate inquiry instituted by the Superintendent of that establishment, proved it to be entirely a mistake, ori ginating, we belie , /e, in the stupidity of a servant. In the meanwhile, the conjectures as to the fate of the President are innumerable. Some suppose that she has put back to New York ; others, that she has pro ceeded to Bermuda, or the Western Isles ; and others fear that she is lost. All this is mere conjecture. It is by no means improbable that the Caledonia—the Halifax packet of the 3d, and which would sail from Boston on the Ist instant—will bring some information respecting her. The Caledonia will be here either to morrow or on Thursday. —Liverpool Times. " The British Queen and Statesman," which was published far the first time under the above title on Sunday week, has, we understand, procured for itself an increase of circulation and a degree of confidence not equalled in the tame space of time by any existing journal. It is a Family Journal, and is conducted upon truly national, loyal, and independent principles. The splendid Portrait of her Most Gracious Majesty, which was presented to its readers, has never been excelled as a work of art ; and its spirited Proprietors hare, we understand, determined upon striking off an additional number for the gratification of these who could nit procure copies of them on Sunday week. Portraits of Prince Albert, Lord Melbourne, Lord John Russell, Sir R. Peel, Mehemet Ali, Commodore Napier, and other distinguished parsonages, are announced as being in a state of preparation. The advertisements amounted to no less than nine columns, and proved, by their number, that it is only necessary to conduct a Journal upon pure, exalted, and independent principles, in order to command the support of the public. Literature, and Music, and Fine Arts, and the most recent discoveries in Science and Art, form distinguished features of " The British Queen," and are evidently written by gentlemen intimately acquainted with the• subjects upon which they write. It is said that the sudden retreat of a particular class of persons from the neighbourhood of Waterloo bridge-road, has caused so many vacancies, that although nearly in the centre of London, houses and lodgings are cheaper in that district than in any country town. GREENWICH FAIR.--THE RIVER. The unsettled state of the weather, the north-east winds, and the rain and hail, which came down heavily in the after noon, considerably marred the enjoyments of the holiday folks on Monday, and the numbers who visited Greenwich were far below the average of Easter Monday, and the steam ers were less crowded than on any former anniversary. The park and fair were at one time well attended with visitors, but the rain and hail, which fell between four and five o'clock, dispersed the lads and lassies in v er y qu i c k t i me , and caused them to take refuge in the public-houses, refreshment-houses, and tea-houses. The bill was too uet for a run down, and the weather damped the spirits of the visitors, and interfered in no small degree with the profits of the showmen, booth-owners, and the keepers of houses of public entertainment. The fair presents no new features, and there is the usual variety of shows, round abouts and swings, and gingerbread stalls. The famed Clown and Anchor booth and " Richardson's Theatre," conducted by Nelson, Lee, and Johnson, where a tragedy and a pantomime were performed ten times during the day to crowded audiences, were the principal attractions, and are certainly well conducted. The behaviour of the people was orderly, and the police arrangements excellent. The steam-boats on the Thames were very numerous, and followed each other in rapid succesion up and down the river. la the evening at eight o'clock, the fair was tolerably crowded, but the weather was cold, damp, and foggy. THE PARIS TELEGRAPHs.—There are in Paris five telegraphs, viz., the central telegraph in the Rue de l'Universita, which about to be transferred to, the Ministry of the Interior ; the telegraph at the Ministry of Marine, which corresponds with the line of Brest; the telegraph on the church of St. Eustache, for the lino of Lille ; and the two upon the towers of St. Sulpice, one of which (the north) corresponds with the line of Stras bourg, and the other (the south) with Ly o ns and Italy. At the central station accounts are received from Calais in three minutes, by a line of 2 7).elegraplis ; from Lille in two minutes, by 22 telegraphs; from Strasbourg in, six minutes, by 46 telegraphs; from Lyons in eight minutes, by 50 telegraphs ; and from Brest in eight minutes, by 80 elegraphs. THE EPPING HUNT. The days of Epping's sporting are no more—Epping sausages arid butter have su ccee d e in its place. The chase is " going, going"—all but " gone !" Year after year its decline has been too perceptible. Many a hand has been stretched out to save it —many a pair of buckskins stretched on to aid it—still it falls into disrepute, and unless some mighty huuter before the field stands forth to prop its reeling honours, its fate is sealed and its doom is fixed for ever. The world was led to think tbat yesterday was to to the first or the restoration, and preparations were talked of which glad dened the old hearts, and spoke music to the young. A noble stag was reserved for the occasion, aril a pack of fresh and well-bred stag hounds, like Nimrod's of - 010, were said to be near the ground. Patronage of high order was ireiauated ; but all the world was deceived, and the bright anticipations it_ had formed ended in mor tification and despair. Before the appointed hour for the hunt it was a pleasant occupation to fix one's station on the crown of the hill above Woodford Wells, and to watch the arrival of the various parties that came to be actors or spectators in the day's proceed ings ; to mark the green-bonghed waggons of the lion des folk, who knew or cared nothing about either horses, riders, or owners ; who simply became spectators to please themselves, and because they had always.gone to the Epping Hunt before. While the throng was collecting on the hill, the stag and the dogs were pay ing a round of visits to all the public-houses in the neighbourhood, in compliance with a good old custom, by which money was put into the pockets of every de serving person ; and the stag and the dogs, famili a riz s d to the company for whose pleasure they were to be exhi bited on that, and perhaps on future occasions. They were shown at Saaresbrook, at Wanstead, and at Wood ford, till the sportsmen or, the hill became impatient of delay. At length, however, the word was given, and the victim, with all his finery of ribands, was released from the cart, and the rush of the crowd having startled him into something like speed, all the horsemen gal loped as hard as their poor hacks would go in his train, without waiting for the hounds being laid on. Next came about ten couple of dogs; with the huntsman and his party, and for some minutes, until they 'were lost in the Forest, were to be seen, the stag hunted by a crowd of cockney horsemen, the dogs hunting the cockneys, and the redcoats in the rear trying to get the hounds clear of these savages on the scent of their game. This did not take place without some I:tile damage being done, and dismounted gentlemen were to be seen crawling out of the fern, and seeking their horses, which were homeward-bound. The stag sustained his good character, and, 'after nearly an hour's running, in which he distanced all the dogs and all the horsemen, he finally bade them good bye, and took refuge in his old haunts in the ancient forest, from which it will requite a better pack than on Monday followed to dislodge him. WOOLWICH-APRIL 12. ROYAL, ARTILLERY.—The Horatio, transport ship, ar rived at Gravesend on Saturday evening, with Captain \Verde's and Captain Hope's companies of the Royal Ar tillery, from Jamaica, on board, and yesterday came up the river, and anchored opposite the Royal Arsenal, Woolvvich. Although the day was Sunday, the men could not resist the impulse of the moment, but gave three hearty cheers on reaching the same spot where they bad embarked about six years ago for a foreign clime. At six o'clock iu the evciiiaa they disembarked, and marched to their quarters in the garrison, surrounded by a grata crowd of persons, who had assembled to welcome them home. A finer cr licaltbier-looking body of men never returned t the shores of old England, as, instead of being wan and emaciated, as might have been expected, they were the picture of health, and their clothing in excellent condition, and they were more to be compared with " gen lercen who live at home at ease" than soldiers who had had duty to perform abroad. Second-Captain Bingham, the senior officer with tile companies, had the command ; ansi the other officers who returned were Second-Captain Geary, and Lieuts. Graham, Shakespeare, and Wilson. ACADEMY FOR MARINE CADETS._Arrangements have now been completed for securing the instruction and pre per care of the girls, of whom there were generally 200, attached to the lower school of the Royal Hospital, Green wich, This has been effec2d by placing them with their relations or friends, and paying a sum of 121. annually with the girls until they reach the age of 14 years, when they are put to tradea or household service. The building recently occupied by the girls will, it is reported, be immediately converted into an academy for marine cadets, for the instruction of young gentlemen pre vious to their obtaining commissions in that branch of her Majesty's service, and from the excellent manner in which the education of gentlemen cadets has been conducted et the Royal Military Academy, at Woolaich, the Marine Cadets' Academy at Greenwich will be constituted on si milar principles. It is understood the appointment of marine cadets for instruction in this academy will he made from those boys belong;ng to the upper school of the Royal Hospital at Greenwich, who, by their good conduct and scholastic acquirement, render themselves worthy of this distinction. THE LATE GENERAL FERGUSON. - Our obituary this day records the death of General Sir Ronald Ferguson, a name equally deer to the army and to the friends of civil and religious liberty. General Ferguson entered the army as au ensign on the 3d of April, 1790, and attained the rank of Major-General in 1808. Oo several occasions he distinguished himself as a gallant sol dier and most able leader, but in the midst of his brilliant career in the Peninsula he was compelled by a severe it disposition, in which his life was in imminent danger, to withdraw for a time from active service. He served in Flanders, as Captain, in 1793, and received a wound in the knee. He was at the first and second capture of the Cape of Good Hope, and received a medal for Roleia and Virniera, when he commanded a brigade as Major- General. By his death the Colonelcy of the 79th Regi ment of Foot, or Cameron Highlanders, becomes vacant. General Ferguson has survived his brother, the late Robert Ferguson, Esq., only .a few months. Both were devoted supporters of the cause of civil and religious li berty during the worst of times. To both the people of Scotland were devotedly attached, and will long cherish their memories. From the first appearance of Gencral Ferguson in the House cf Commons to the present time, he has on all oc casions stoutly advocated liberal principles. On all those occasions which try men's constancy and firmness, General Ferguson was at his post. Thus, for instance, though a soldier, who had much at stake, his name appears in the minority for Sir Thomas Turton's amendment, and in the minority against the motion of the Chancellor of the Ex chequer, in the famous case of the Duke of York. He voted against all the unconstitutional measures of 1819 and 1820, which tried the principles of not a few of the Whigs. But, in short, why should we particularize, when on all oc casions he proved himself the staunch and unbending cham pion of the rights and liberties of the people. During his long Parliamentary career he uniformly displayed the most uncompromising political consistency. Sir Ronald Ferguson represented the borough of Not tingham before the passing of the Reform Act, and has continued to sit for it ever since. The constituency of Nottingham distinguished itself in the worst of times by its uniform choice of representatives devoted to reform. We trust that the character which it has so justly obtained will he kept in mind when they make choice of a succes sor to General Ferguson. May that successor he imbued with the principles for which, during a long and honour able life, Sir . Ronald Ferguson never ceased to contend I LAUNCH OF THE PRINCESS ROYAL STEADIER.—Monday a new steam-ship, named in honour of the Princess Royal, was launched from the yard of Messrr. Wigrarn and Green, at Blackwell. The new vessel, a very handsome one of her class, is destined for the service of the General Steam Navigation Company. The yard was crowded with spectators. The Princess Royal is a stout built vessel, formed of English oak, of 800 tons burden, with a lofty poop deck. The extreme length is 181 feet 8 inches, width between the paddles 28 feet, depth of hold 17 feet 6 inches, and extreme breadth oatside her paddles 48 feet. She is built sharp forward, with a flat bottom and good beam. Her construction is somewhat peculiar, but she will make a capital sea boat. She is to be fitted with engines and machinery of 260 horse power, at the General Steam Navigation Company's fac tory, at Deptford. At the top of high water Mr. Brock elbank, the managing director of the company, Wolverley Attwood, Esq., M. P., the chairman, and other directors of the Company, made their appearance en a temporary platform erected at the head of the vessel, and prepara tions for the launch were immediately commenced, under the direction of Mr. Gaster, the foreman shipwright, and precisely at five o'clock Miss Wilkie, the daughter of an influential director, performed the ceremony of christening the Princess Royal, by dashing a bottle of wine at her bows. The fair sponsor bad no sooner completed this task and made a short address than the dog-shores were removed, and the Princess Royal, with the colours of all nations flying above her decks, the Union Jack at her stern, and the Royal Standard in midships, went steadily off the slip on which she was built, and mado her first appearance in the water amidst the cheers of the assembled multitude and the firing of cannon. The tide drifted her far over towards the opposite shore, before she was brought up, when the City of London Ramsgate steamer took her is tow, and brought her back alongside the yard, where sin: was safely moored. A finer launch was never witnessed. UNIFORM CHEAP POSTAGE IN BELGIUM.— At the close of last yezr an age n t o f t h e B elgium Pest office visited this country for the purpose of investigating the working of the penny post age p l an. A report of th i s examination has recently been submitted to the Belgium Government, accompanied with recommendations for the improvement of the Belgium post-office. The principal featur . es of the chang es recommen d ed are the a d opt i on o f a uniform rate of 21. (20 centimes) on all inland let ters except those which already cost but Id., optional pre-payment by means of stamps, an increased allowance of weight, and proportionate reduced charges in the transmission of p ac k ets by th e post . This subject is also exciting a lively interest in France. If a uniform system be adopted in Belgium and France, there can be little doubt it will become general throughout Europe. FALLING HOUSES.—A correspondent calls our attention to the dangerous state of some houses to wards the east end of Carey-street, and complains not without reason of the negligence of district surveyors, and local authorities, in not taking more active measures to pre vent such accidents as those which occurred lately in Fleet-street and St. Giles's. SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. FROM THE DAILY PAPERS OF YESTERDAY. (From the Morning Chronicle.) . A pamphlet is in circulation, entitled " Daily Bread," which recommends to the industrious poor a new species of practical protest against the bread tax, as a likely means of exonerating themselves from its severe and unjust pressure. Thu scheme proposed is' for a penny subscription from so large a number of the working classes, aided by the con tributions of those who also suffer from and are opposed to the food monopoly, as may suffice to freight one or more vessels with continental corn, or American flour, rind bring it into some English port. On its arrival, a disttihation amongst the owners to be formally claimed, stud it refused, as it of course would he, to proceed to the public destruction of the cargo. Without passing any opinion on this plan, we wish.to fix attention on the fact that such a plan is propounded and entertained. For aught it appears the process would be perfectly legal. There is no law against the investment of the smallest sums by hungry artisans in the purcig.se of food from foreigners. The vessel so freighted might le gally anchor in our ports. The petition of a thousand fa mishing families for leave to land and e3t the food which they had purchased from their small and hard earnings might be a most unexceptionable document. The refusal by the Custom-house authorities, or by their masters on reference to them, would also be legal, and we presume inevitable. The right of the proprietary would be unques tionable to throw their cargo overboard, though the billows of Goole harbour, or the waters of the Thames should be whitened with the sped ; or though the execrations of multitudes, witnessing the waste while they were pinched with want, should be both loud and deep; end if the hun gry and angry thousands broke out into violence, it would teen become legal to read the Riot Act, call cut the military, and suppress the disturbance at whatever cost of human bloodshed. Whatever the wisdom, justice, or expediency, of any one step of the pro cess, each is yet free from the charge of unlawful ness. The preposition is legal, and 'it is entertained ; that is the gist of the matter, and the fact may perhaps be Worth a thought. It is not strange that such notions should enter people's minds. Analogous experiments have been tried on former occasions. There was once an unship meat of tea in and into Boston harbour, which harbour was then part and parcel of the British empire. Mr. O'Connelea first election for county Clare was the con signment to the House of Commons of a prohibited article. The oath was a sort of duty laid en by the Protestant mo nopoly, which prevented that consignment from reaching its destination. Both these experiments won a place in histery. They were scouted with great superciliousness, but they did the work. Nor could it be otherwise than a very awkward thing to transfer the evidence of the iniquity of the Corn-laws from the mind to the senses, from logic and statistics to the actual, visible destruction of the ciai!) , bread that people pray for and pine for—their own honestly purchased daily bread—in order that the wealthiest of monopolies may retain the most grinding of impositions. The subject would be brought home to the dullest intellects. The passions might not be altogether unaffected. Such a scene at a theatre would be rather striking arid inflammatory ; whither the reality might tend it is very difficult to calculate. One thing is certain, that the Corn-laws arc not a jot the better, nor more expedient, nor more humane, for the fact that no scene of thin kind has yet passed in our ports. Whatever destruction of human food may have been caused by too long detention in bond, has been an unobservable operation. The un nattual barrenness for want of culture of f uitful soils in other lands, whose inhabitants would willingly rear the grain for which our manufacturers would willingly ex change their products, does not appeal to the senses, and is scarcely apprehended by the common mind. The effect is not less real than ns if wheat were shovelled into the Thames, from morning till night, day after day, in the face of gazing, astonished, and cursing multitudes. The pamphlet, with its Scripture motto, " Give us this day our daily bread," explains this fact. The transaction itself may never happen ; it can only happen through the moss reckless iefa.uation ; but it has become, by tie proposition, a conceivable event. It will happen, and it does happen, in the minds of the toiling poor. who know that they are paying seveupence half-penny for the food and fourpeuce half-penny for the tax in their shilling loaf. As the notion spreads amongst them, they will be not much less influenced than by the actual occurrence. Food mo nopoly is food destruction, whether it be thrown into the sea wtiie labourers are needing it on shore, or whether it be wasted, instead of being multiplied by culture to pur chate goods which manufacturers would be employed to produce. The upholders of the Corn-laws arc annual destroyers of immense quantities of food, which the work ing classes earn, or are ready to care, if permitted. The operation may be circuitous, and out of sight; it is not the less certain. But let this fact be actually exhibited ; or only let it be clearly and generally apprehended; which, before long, it assuredly must be ; and what do the monopolists think of the sentiments with which they will be regarded by their countrymen ? " Straws show which way the wind blows," and whether the project of this pamphlet be feasible or unfeasible, it is still a symptom that the Anti-Corn-law agitation is assuming a more formidable character. Notwithstanding the inter ruption of public meetings by the organised uproar cf a comparatively small minority, the petitions already signed, or in course of signature, will, we understand, exhibit an interest in the subject beyond all precedent or pa rallel. The recent detection of an outlay of 'Try money upon disturbers of the prate, professing Chartism, will also tend to put the interruptions that have occurred in their true light. The Anti-Corn law League, and its numerous ramifications throughout the country, are daily gathering strength, and beginning to root themselves firmly even in many of the rural dis tricts. Whatever schen - es may be suggested, we trust that alt opponents of the bread -tax, of whatever class, will feel the importance of a full display, as petitioners to Par liament, of their growing numbers. This is the first, the im mediate and most urgent course, for adoption. Let them show their millions. The fitting time for that purpose is cicse at hand. The Easter holidays should be their final season of preparation for the Parliamentary struggle that is soon to follow. The effect of a great simultaneous effort may not be to insure the immediate abolition of the bread-tax, but it can hardly fail to put the question into a position f certain and speedy triumph. (From the Times.) It is not always that a great statesman lives long enough to see the full fruits of his own policy. On the contrary, when his lot is cast in troublous times, as was the case with Mr. Pitt, the vexing cares and responsibilities of his position tend so materially to shorten existence, that, in general, little more is permitted him than to exercise his self reliance and foresight in adapting his course to the exigencies of public affairs—he himself being often with ! drawn from the stage of life before the results of that course, whether for good or evil, are unequivocally as certained. But there is one living statesman, the head of the genteel family of the Phippses, whose career, besides outstripping the Timmses and the Higgses, and the other aristocracy of the same lofty grade, presents an illustrious exception to the preceding remark. Among the many distinctions of that high personage, who, within a few years, has been rapidly promoted from the position of a fashionable novelist and a performer of private theatricals to that of a Jamaica Governor—afterwards to the dignity of Lord-Lieutenant in Ireland—then to the Colonial seals in Downing-street—presently to the Home Secretaryship at Whitehall—and, anon, to the rank of a British Mar quis—the fact that the happy nobleman has survived, and is still surviving, to behold the practical effects of his literary and administrative genius is not to be overlooked. What account his bookseller may be able to give of the later editions of " Yes and No," it is not for us to say. But the fruits of the Noble Marquis's incumbency in Ireland, increasing as they do in number and im portance, exhibit a uniformity of disaster and mischief which, while doubtless awakening his own ruminations, de serve the anxious attention both of his colleagues and the country. The same classical taste which made Lord Normandy a lover of private theatricals inspired him with a generous appetite for applause when performing the part of mock sovereign in Dublin Castle. Knowing that he held his engagement by the season, at the mere suffer ance of the great Irish manager, whose displeasure would have been tantamount to his dethronement, his assiduous and accommodating Excellency prosecuted throughout a style of policy which, though well calculated to awaken the echoes in his magnificent progresses as the Deliverer- Gene ral of gaols, excited the astonishment and apprehension of every impartial Judge presiding at the Assizes, and of every friend of order acquainted with the Irish populace. From that period up to the present moment, neither the more circumspect Viceroyship of Viscount Ebrington, nor the preaching proclamations of Lord Morpeth, nor the hollow deprecations of O'Connell, nor the temperance diversions of Father Mathew, have been able to counteract or repair the evils of the Normanby reign. Depredations, arsons, bludgeonings, and carnage have been the order of the day. The crack county of Tipperary,_.the strongest fastness of Ribandism and the Whig Board of Trade—is, at this moment, in a state bordering on absolute rebellion. The handful of military at command, reduced on account of the . tranquil condi tion Lion of the country, are under arms night and da pickets of troops are scouring the disturbed dsboiytictbtsemin. every direction where they can venture to selves, and divers innocent lives haveqhis is Lord Nor , been sacrificed to the brie al ferocity of the insurgents. manby's " justice to Ireland." (From the Morning Post.) It was humorously said onc e of a p ublic man, who at_ ways appeared to be busy and y et effected nothing, that his regular habit was to lose half an hour in the morning, and to spend the rest of the day in running after it. Something of the same kind of defect seems to belong to the advocates of free trade; they have injured the com merce and revenue of the country by their measures, and now, instead of applying themselves to the business of re. storation, they keep running after the false scent which led them astray eighteen years ago. Thus Mr. Porter, whose theories are as much in favour of free trade as ever, but who finds it necessary, as a constructor of tables, to state facts, as well as to promulgate theories, acquaints us that the average annual exportsnrly twenty to the whole of Europe were less in valuo by nearly per cent. in the five years from 1832 to 1836 than they were in the five years which followed the close of the war. Now, in the five year's that followed the close of the war the old commercial relations with Europe were in exist ence, and, except on the other side of the Atlantic, the old navigation laws of England were in full force. But, in the five years from 1832 to 1836, the new system in troduced under the Ministerial auspices of Mr. Huskisson was in force, and what is called " free trade," or a consi derable approach towards to it, prevailed to a muchenore the latter. In short, our shipping and our trade have not thriven under the new system in so far as we have tried it. The remedy which the free traders modestly propose is that we shall try it further 1 And, as if this were not enough, the organs of these speculative theorists tell us that the Chancellor of the• Exchequer, in order to repair the decaying finances, must adopt their experiments to re plenish the public coffers. We recommend such as have , money in the public funds to look to this. As the Ger man commentator, whose sentiments we published the other day, observes, it is quite idle to determine measures of trade end commercial intercourse by the abstract dog mas of any school. It may be truly armed that in such matters there is no such thing as an absolute principle which is true at all times and under all circumstances. In some cases flee trade is beneficial, in other cases it is not. All depends upon the peculiar circumstances of the case—upon the particular wants, capabilities, opportunities, and reasonable objects of each country. While a country is thinly inhabited, and a vast field for im provement by labour is open to be worked, trade can scarcely-be too free, for the tendency of flee trade is to procure the greatest quantity of commodities at the least expense of labour. But, if a country happens to possess a redundancy of labouring power, then free trade is likely to be peenicious. We may alter our I awe so as to enable capitalists to buy the produce of cheaper labour abroad, but how shall we alter the laws of other countries so as to make them buy from us in return ? We can do no such thing. " Oh," says the political econo mist, " but we cannot continue to buy without sell. ing." The truth of that proposition depends upon the length of time contemplated. We can continue to buy without selling so long as our stock of gold and silver lasts, and, slnce every use who can get a Bank note may convert it into gold, that period would only be limited by each individual's interest, or by the breaking of the Bank. Thee, by pressure of severe distress and the scarcity of money, all sorts of commodities would become as cheap here as on the Continent. But the money amount of taxation being still the same, the pressure would be intolerable, and it would be imi-oseible for the Go vernment to screw out of the people enough of money to pay the fundholder his annual interest. 'firis would be the consummation of free trade in a country circum stanced as ours is. This is th point to which free-trade theorists are now trying to drive us. (From the Globe.) The bigots of Bath have been trying to get up a Fro testant Operative Association. Their failuie is remark , able and edifying. Two thousand persons, it is said, were present at the Assembly-.rooms, and it was an nounced, that the heroes of the evening would be Mr. James Lord, of the Inner. Temple, and the Reverend Hugh Stowell. Mr. Lord is a gentleman who, after the prac.ice of incipient barristers, has published a law book at a law bookseller's ; but preferring divinity to jurisprudence, has judiciously given ell his ia•.v in re. printing the statute in regulation of Maynooth College, in two cr three pages, and has eked out a goodly volume by extracts from debates and balderdash from News paper;. He was to appear as a delegate from the Loh don Protestant Association, but wisely stayed away. Not so the Rev. Hugh Stowell. Since his last story about the Yorkshire Catholic gentlethan who wished France to conquer England, he has been less prodigal than usual in exposing himself to public indignation ; and we began to feel a faint hope that he might he capable of sonic sense of shame. Perhaps we did not judge too favourably, fur he may have supposed that, however well kaovvn to the Norte, some persons might be found to believe him in the West. Ile carne, spoke, and was beaten, and that at a ticket meeting. His opponents are said to have been Chartists, but this does not appear from the report, and we presume that they were not, tor their amendmcot was strictly reguisr, not mentioning the Charter, hut moiety giving reasons for r.egativing the motion. At the appointed hour no one appeared to • take the chair, and Mr. Bolweil, ace operative, was voted ieto it. Upon this the Rev. Hugh Stowell, of Manches ter, who certainiy has no peculiar connexion with Bath, twice interrupted the proceedings by again calling for a show of hands as to the chairman, and was twice defeated. The resolution, thet a Protestant Operative Association was riot wanted in Bath, was carried by a large majority, alter which Mr. Stowell addressed the meeting : " Ile feared that mans present had leat themselves as the tools of Pepery—(Laughter, oe, dear !') He had met a g.neernau of Bath in a rnilway train, who told him that a gaud Protestant Operative Asscciation might be formed in Bath.—(Crie s et ack by the next tra n.')

He was a c advocate of religious; lieeity, bet be would beat gown Remaoism." This, is atter the manner of 111.:thews's Mr. Dowgate— " S:r, I hate prejudice and I abhor the French." ' (From the Standard.) There is a notion pretty generally entertained by po liticians, which may he well founded in many cases, but whi his wholly inaccurate in others. The notion to which we refer is this :—" That the more the State does for the promotion of any object, the less will be dope by voluntary exertions." this proposition the extension of religious instruction by ' State exertioeis presents a strikiag excep tion. Twenty-one or twenty-two years ago the Legis lature, leaving awakened from its long lethargy, as regarded the interest; of religion, aroused, no 'Lubt, by tile progress of iiifidelity, and its insepa rable companion, political eiiorder, in the mane fact urieg districts an: large towns, some new churches we: c built anti endowed, and more would have been provided, but fir the privet actress of seine Whig servants of Satan, who, it mu,t bc remembered, divided the House of Com mons nine times in one night in resistance to the necessary grant. Something was, however, done by the State for the cause of religion, and with this cif. ca that instead of diminishieg voluntary exertion, in 20 years the little which the public has contributed in its political character has been attended by a three or four fold increase of volun. tary contributions from the same public in that period. It becomes, then, a serious question to every man who has any real religious impressions, whether he can in nocently abstain Irons pressing the demand for new churches upon Perlin:lent. The demand is not for an ob jsct bounded by its iairnediate purpose, but for the deve lopment, through practical means, of a principle of bound less operation. You build one church : you do well in providing the means of worship for as many as its walls cent ale. But is this all ? Oh, no ; in building one church you sow the seed of hundreds of other churches, and of religious and benevolent institutions. In a word, von overt the oracles of the Almighty, and the teach ing of His word in that place; and all whose hearts are touched by those oracles are not only made wise to their own salvation, but engaged in the active service of the all-good Creator—all earnestly engaged to do for others what you have done for them. There is some thing so awfully magnificent in this rate of progress of re. ligious truth from so slight an impulse, that if strict arith metical reasoning, founded upon facts, did not lead to the conclusion, one would not know how to believe in the pos sibility of such mighty effects from such a cause MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS. (FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF YESTERDAY.) TIMES.—At the Stock Exchange to-day very little business was transacted, and the jobbers and brok ers were, for the most part, occupied with arranging their accounts for the three successive settlements wuich take place this week in the public securities, viz., that in the Share Market to-morrow, that in the Foreign Funds on Wed nesday, and that in the English Funds on Thursday. A letter from Bahia of the 6th of February, states that trade continued to fall off, and, to show the proportion of the decline, tbe following statist:cal data are given :--In the year 1835-6, the Custom-house receipts were 1,625 contos; in 1836 37, 1,389 contos; in 1837-38 (the )eer of Re volution), 1,043 contos; in 1838-39, 1,760 contos; and in 183940, 1,610 contos. Ia 1838-39 the gross amount of produce expor,ed (calculated on the weekly tariff esti mates) was 9,281 cantos; but in 1839.40 it diminished to 5,982 contos. In 1838-39 the Customs' receipts on the exportation of produce was 804 contos, awl in 1639-40 only 524 contos. 0 ST.—The funds have been nearly stationary all day in boils markets. The President steamer, expected from New York, is still missing, and there was no news from any quarter to give a stimulus to prices.
