At tn.! lecireit of a t addressed to the Editor of the Exeter Post, ou tl-e position and prospects of this line. We are certainly surprised at the apathy of the persons most interested in completing it. It would confer a east benefit on Exeter, and all the surrounding country, and we are confident it is absolutely' necessary to place that part of England on a footing of equality with rival districts. TO THE EDITOR OF THE " EXETER FLYING l'OiT." SlR—Ever since the commencement of this most im portant work, it has generally been viewed with apathy both by the inhabitants of Devon and Cornwall., and of the good city of Exeter. Our most iefluentill citizens have quietly disposed of the subject by saying " the lice will never be finished," and it has teen reAher the fashion to decry and undervalue the undertaking. The time has now arrived, however, when f lets should open the eyes of men's understanding, for unless we are afflicted with mental blindness, we must see, for certain, that despite of all doubts and misgivings, the rail is not only actually open to Bridgewater, but is half made thence to Taunton, and will certainly be brought to Exeter. Now, Sir, every year, half year, and month that this is procrastinated, is a positive loss to Exeter, and a great inconvenience to ail the country around it ; with a view, therefore, of directing public attention to the subject, 1 request permission to offer a few remarks on the position and prospects of the Bristol and Exeter Railway. First, then, of its position. It is open for traffic to Bridgewater 34 miles, and the speed and comfort are certainly unrivalled. The distance is often travelled in an hour, and I have come in 53 minutes, but then, alas I. had to endure near five hours' confinement in a coach, to get through the rest of my journey to Exeter. Need I say how deeply I deplore the contrast ? With regard to the traffic, I will con pare it with nine other lines, taken from the Railway returns, by which you will see that thus early, and under the disadvantage of re ceiving all its westward traffic by road travelling, it takes a respectable position among other lines, although many of them are longer, and all, except I believe the Great Northern, were opened for a coosider.ible time before it.

Round and round goes the little devil, now on one haunch, and then on the other, gravely kicking and grinning—and all for what ? Why, if it sat still, there's its tail under its nose. Now, that's the ' moral' of a young fellow of pleasure." " I take you," said Wildgoose ; " but did you ever see an old cat sitting with its nose on a level with the knob of a poker ? There it sits, winking and blinking—now a purr—now a sneeze —then a chasm of a mouth--then a cushion of a paw rubbed over face and ears—presently a long doze, and after that a long stretch, with an inverted semicircular back, and a hind leg stuck out, as though it wanted to get rid of it. Now, that's the moral' of an old fellow who thinks himself happy." —Bentley's Miscellany. Riches Dawson, the gamekeeper of Lord liam Powlett, of Downham-hall, who was missed from :is house on Wednesday the 29th ult., a 9 noticed last week, was f oun d on t h e following Mond a y morn i ng h ang. ing by one leg, with his head down, from a crotch in a fir -tree, 12 feet from the ground, and had evidentl , been dead a long time.

EXPLOSION OF A STEAM-BOILER. THE INQUEST. MANCHESTER, FRIDAY MORNING.—The inquest on the unfortunate sufferers by the late awful explosion of the steam-boiler on the premises of Messrs. Eke and Co., in this town, was held yesterday morning, before Mr. N. S. Rutter and a respectable jury, at the Cross Keys, in Jersey-street, Ancoats, where five of the bodies were lying. Another of the workmen has died ; thus making a total of eight persons whose lives have been sacrificed by this awful catastrophe. Those who remain now at the infirmary are in a very dan gerous state, and there are but slight hopes entertained of the recovery of Fox, the boy who escaped instant death by concealing himself in an empty cistern, but who was, nev er th e l ess , s o much scalded about the lower extremities of the body as to render his recovery almost hopeless. Almost the whole of the deceased were young men from eighteen to twenty-five, and one of them, who had been out of employ for two months, had only com menced work on Monday last. Mr. Elce, as soon as the jurors had ;viewed the bodies and the building, was examined, and he stated, that the explosion took place a short time before half-past six on Wednesday morning, and as soon as he was informed of it he at once proceeded to the spot. Mr. Elce then des cribed the injury sustained by the premises, and destruc tion of the machinery, which he estimated at 1,5001., in dependently of the delay that would now be occasioned by the stoppage of the business and the execution of the orders on hand. The engineer, though young, attended to his duties very satisfactorily. Mr. Thomas Banks, engineer and millwright, said, his impression on hearing of the explosion was that it had been occasioned by a shortness of water in the boiler. The boiler had one stay extending the whole length of it, and he considered that of sufficient strength to be secure at 401 b. pressure. The boiler had been in use for about five years, and was therefore not much damaged or burnt. Brown, the father of Iram Brown, the engineer, said, he was in the - habit of superintending the engine and instructing his son in the management of it. He was always afraid himself to go near the boiler, as he con ceived it to be unsafe, and he had frequently told Mr. Elce that an explosion would some day take place, as the boiler was too weak for the pressure put upon it. He thought a boiler with 401 b. pressure should have more stays than one•to render it safe. His son was a steady and sober young man. Had been an engineer for three years. He was in his 17th year. Mr. John Roberts, an engineer and machinist, was then sworn, and he gave it as his opinion that the boiler was not of sufficient strength to sustain the pressure to which it was submitted. He did not think the accident arose from want of water, but from a deficiency of stays within the boiler. He did not consider one stay sufficient. I The Jury unanimously returned a verdict of " Aeci dental death," in each of the eight cases; and recorded their opinion that the boiler was not of sufficient strength for the purposes for which it was used, and the pressure to which it was subjected. The Jury also deprecated the practice of employing such youths in the management of steam engines—a practice which they said arose from a desire on the part of the manufacturers to save the few extra shillings they would Ir:!,ve to pay for the services of an experienced and practical engir:fer• The proceedings were then terminated: THE WEA.LTHY SALE OF THE FURNITURE OF THE LATE Mn. 5317.7' OF GREAT ST. ANDREW -STREET SEVEN iiIALS.—The firniture belongini . , to this wealthy old miser was on Fri day brought to the hammer by Mr. Moore, the auc tioneer. Ihe interest etcitcd by the event in so popu lous a neighbourhood, caused such a rush of people to the house, as to render necessary the interference of the police to preserve order. The lots were, as may be sup posed, of an ordinary description, but realised extra vagant prices, owing to a prevalent idea among the buyers that they contained hidden treasures. The story of the fortunate man who recently bought a pair of old shoes in which lay concealed a quantity of bank-notes, contri buted in no small degree to promote this delusion. The library of the deceased consisted of a few sacred volumes, of which the Bible announced in the catalogue was not forthcoming, it having probably been purloined by some 4.,ae who expected to find it interleaved with Bank notes. The late Mr. Smith used to attend the Whitelield chapel in Tottenham-court-road. The sister, who acted as housekeeper to him, enjoyed an income of one pound per week, not from the liberality of her brother, but by right of her father's will, who died many years ago. She has long laboured under an imbecile state of mind. Until within a very few years, Mr. Smith used to labour actively at the forge, which his father had left him, to gether with upwards of 20,0001., but latterly his toil was restricted to the supply of the locks, bars, bells, &c., required at his various houses in Mornington-place and elsewhere. Mr. Smith was, in the strictest sense of the word, a miser ; and the anecdotes related in the neigh bourhood of his penurious habits, would form a volume as interesting as that of the eccentric Mr. Elwes. He was of the Phineas Phiddy school, and .formed a striking illustration of the degree of wealth to which a man may attain by regarding self in every moment and movement in life. Mr. Smith is supposed to have died worth two hundred thousand pounds. It is said that his funeral expenses, though moderate, would have wallowed up his expenditure for three years while living. EXTENSIVE SALE OF WOOLS.---Yesterday a sale of a very large quantity of foreign wools took place at the Wool Sales-room, adjoining the office of Mr. Abram Gartside, wool-broker , Bretherton's-buildings, North John-street, and the prices obtained, considering the general depression in the.commercial world, showed, Australian, East I n di a , W est ' we are glad to say, tha t this branch of trad e is in a flourishing and progress ive condition.

Sir,—The late accident on the London and Brighton Railway. having Suggested the importance-of collecting information of the respective merits of the different de scription of locomotive engines employed upon railways, lam directed by the Lords of the Committee of Privy Council for Trade, to request the Directors of the Railway Company to furnish them with returns to the following questions. 1. What number of engines are employed upon the Railway ? 2 What is the construction of such engines, specify ing the number of wheels and their diameter,—the weight of the engine,—the weight on the front wheels, —the construction of the axles and bearings, and any other particulars bearing upon the question of safety ? 3. What are the names of the makers of such engines? 4. What description of engines have the Directors been led by their experience to prefer, and for what reasons ? 5. Have the Directors been led by their experience to consider any particular description of engine as pecu liarly dangerous, and if so, for what reasons ? 6. Are extra engines ever employed upon the Railway in propelling trains ? 7. If so. is the extra engine applied in front of the train or behind ? 8. Have the Directors been led by their experience to consider the use of an extra engine, either in front or behind, as an additional source of danger ? 9. Are engines ever allowed to run tender foremost upon the Railway ? I am, Sir, your obedient servant, S. LAING. SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. FROM THE DAILY PAPERS OF SATURDAY. GLOBE.—The waters are out ; and the question is are our new rulers engineers enough to let them off safely, ere they force a ruinous channel fur themselves ? The waters are out, physically as well as politically ; and the great statesmen, who, in default of corn may ask us why don't we eat potatoes, will be well answered by the counter-question—will they guarantee us potatoes to eat? We tell the party who now stand at the helm of power, that they are responsible for whatever may ensue from their long-protracted policy. They have deterred for years the enemies of the existing restrictions on food from making a Government measure of the necessary Commercial Reform. They have turned them out the moment they did make it a Government measure ; and they have coldly refused all immediate discussion of any substitute. They stand accountable for all the mischief which may follow from this main tenance of monopoly. The postponement of change for many years past has been due to them indi rectly ; a change for which Lord Althorp was as ready as Lord John Russell is now—but the proposal of which, it was known, would enable the Tory Opposition, to upset the Government. The direct obstruction and frustration of this essential reform now lies at their door: it now lies with them to meet consequences which they have stubbornly shut their eyes to ; and which we be hew, in our hearts, most formidable, and mosturgent for vigorous measures. Is the new Government capable of taking such measures ? Sir Robert Peel says he is as free as the Avind. What will he do - with his freedom ? At present he sits boasting among his closed wind-bags— another bolus. Which of them will he untie ? From which quarter will he visit his weathercocks ? Will he give us a trade-wind or a land-wind? Will he send Sir Edward Knatchbull or Sir George Murray to the opposite point of the compass from that they have hitherto indicated ? dEolus boasts ; but will he blow away his dukes from their acred anchorage ? We say nothing of his consistency ; but what will he make of those who call themselves his constituents ? Were Canning or Huskisson at the helm, we should know how to answer these questions. We should know with certainty that such men would not allow their names to go down to posterity as the mere instru ments of sordid oligarchy—that, at the critical point of time for their own fame, and the fortunes of their coun try, they would look forward —and neither around to adherents, nor backward to Hansard. These were not men " content to dwell in decencies for ever." They could think about other things than momentary advan tages over opponents in debate. They could act for other purposes than " building up a great party" as their pedestal COURIER.—The Herald, which has throughout treated the question of M'Leod with a powerful pen, re turns to it opportunely this morning in an article pos sessing strong claims to attention at the present moment, and which as such we reproduce elsewhere. The subject 's doubtless recalled to the recollecti on o f the eloquent the tenour of certain later a d v i ces of a n alarm w . the United States, received via writer ti; , ing character , g ." u m Havre yesterday, anu f]nblished in a s eco nd edition of the Post, front whence i 7 snsferred to our columns. .. °' We write," says the Herald, . 44 at this moment, under a vivid impression of the enormous inagi!itlide of the results involved in the fate of M'Leod. 1:;!A impression is based on the conviction, that between the reStqration of that individual, in safety, to the authorities of Eng land—awl war between England and the United States in the event of his destruction—there is no alterna tive. There is no middle term between these two ex treme conditions." There is, indeed, and there can be, no "middle term." We may submit, as we have sub mitted, to violations of neutrality the most outrageous and unprovoked, to usurpations of territory the most flagrant, to the patient endurance of pretensions the most arrogant and unfounded, with the quiescent conscious ness of might as well as right on our side, although not without so much derogation to national honour and reputation in a persevering resolve for the preservation of peace at almost any price as has evidently tended, not to conciliate forbearance or command respect, but to fan smouldering fire into fiercest flame among the reck less freeboters swarming on the Canadian frontier, who mistake the repose of strength and protracted acquit2s mice in insult for the signs of weakness and the proof of pusillanimity. But submissive though we have been, and abject as we have seemed, we are not yet so prostrate in every sentiment becoming the dignity of a great nation as for one moment to tolerate the final con summation of iniquity and atrocity in the conviction and execution of the so long tortured 111 1 Leod. Blood must have blood, and if but one hair of his head he sacrificed to the frenzied cravings of a lawless populace, the whole Union will hear of it in retributive thunder along the whole line of its coasts and at the gates of its most popu lous cities. STANDARD.—If Sir Robert Peel does not find Ireland " his chief difficulty"—and we rejoice to say that to all ap pearance he finds Ireland no difficulty whatever—there is another person to whom the present condition of the island in question presents a difficulty of no small amount—that person is Mr. Daniel O'Connell. We have copied from the Newry Telegraph—one of the best of our many excellent provincial journals—a proof of the utter failure of the repeal cry in the North of Ireland, even in the most Roman Catholic districts of Ulster, and from the south, the west, and the east of Ireland, we have precisely similar accounts. Were it not for the unhappy Municipal Bill, the very purpose of which seems to be to revive annually an otherwise ex piring agitation, political dissension would seem to be at rest in Ireland. But what is to become of Mr. O'Con nell, if peace, a guest, so long a stranger, should be restored to his native land ? lie is now too old to dig, and though certainly not ashamed to beg, his mendicancy will be little profitable when he shall cease to be bully as well as beggar.. The rent will fail ex actly in proportion to the restoration of tranquillity. The wretched old man appears indeed to be nearly at the end of his game ; but this he ought to have foreseen.

TlMES.—During the settlement which took place in the Foreign Securities one failure was announced, that of a jobber of the name of Morton, but no great incon venience arose from in ; and when it is considered that the chief speculative Security has fluctuated nearly 5 per cent., it is somewhat surprising that more should not have occurred. It, however, clearly shows that the business done has been in the hands of a few parties, and that the public has taken no conspicuous part in the late speculation in Spanish. The accounts furnished to the Banking Committee of the amount of payments made through the " clearing-house," showing how much that esta blishment has obviated the necessity of retaining large amounts, have recently made it a subject of peculiar interest. Mr. Tate has published a pamphlet, minutely describing the whole clearing-house prac tice, which, although it contains no more than is already familiar to a large portion of the monetary community, may afford novel information to a still larger class, who, although aware of the importance of the clearing-house, are imperfectly acquainted with the de tails of its operations. These operations are divided into the morning's clearance, the afternoon's clearance, and the transfer and settling- of the balances. The morning's clearance begins with the clearer's sorting at the banking house the checks, &c., on the other banking-houses, and entering the amounts in his " clearing-house book " to the debit of the bankers by whom they are payable. Then, still in the early part of the day, the clearer goes to the clearing-house, deposits with the other clearers the packets and checks, &c., with which he has charged them, and enters to the credit of the other bankers the charges they hare deposited with him. During the interval between the morning's and afternoon's clearances, the charges brought home are examined by the prirteipals, and the afternoon's clearance is carried on much in the same manner as the morning's. At four o'clock the accounts in the clearing-house book are added up and balanced, and tho balances are entered in the banker's balance-sheet, which, when added up, shows the position of the banker, not with the other bankers separately, but with the collective body of them, as represented by the clearing-house. The statement of this balance is used as a check on the whole of the day's operations. Afterwards the clerk returns to the clear ing -house, and makes payments to those who have to receive, using► bank-notes alone in payment, and giving a check for sums under 51. These are the outlines of the method, and the remainder of the machinery is em ployed in checking errors. All is very fully described by Mr. Tate, who adds an example in which the opera tions of these imaginary firms are accurately traced through the clearing-house. CHIIONICLE.—Another fall of 1 per cent. has taken place to-day in Brazil Stock, which has given way to 54 to 56. The fall in these Securities since last settlement has been 8 per cent., the quotation on last settlement being 62 to 64. The omission to advertise the dividends was the immediate cause of this depression, but we do not see sufficient grounds for the continued " panic" which has taken possession of the holders of this Stock. The market for them is extremely limited, there not being above five or six jobbers concerned, so that a sale of 1,0001. has a strong effect, and they make the price to suit themselves. DISCOVERY OF A SUPPOSED MURDER COMMITTED THREE YEARS AGO. LEWES, THURSDAY.—A man named General Washer was this morning brought before the Earl of Chichester, Mr. Sergeant D'Oyley, and Mr. Blackburn, the sitting Magistrates, charged with the wilful murder of Hannah Devonshire, alias Smith. The prisoner appears to be about sixty years of age, and is said to have a wife and large family. William Gaston, gardener to the Rev. Mr. Lupton the incumbent of Ringmer, deposed that he had been in Mr. Lupton's service 25 years. On the morning of the 3d of June, 1838, witness went to a pond in the grounds attached to the rectory to dip water, when he discovered something in the water, and a basket and umbrella by the side of the pond. Witness procured assistance, and got out of the pond the body of a female. On examining the spot he found the grass had been much trampled on, and, from the footmarks, the appearance of struggling. The pond was surrounded by a hedge of willows, a por , tion of which was broken down, and appeared as if some one had been forcibly thrown over. Illiaabeth Sterens, of Ringmer, said, that she was a beer-shop keeper, and remembered the day before the woman was drown 'd. The deceased called at witness's house about nine o'clock in the morning ; the prisoner came in shortly after and bought some eels, which wit ness cooked for his dinner. He asked the deceased to partake of some, which she did, and they remained drink ing together until nearly two o'clock in the afternoon. The prisoner and the deceased paid for the beer alter nately. The deceased had a basket with her full of cot tons, tapes, &c. - - Jane Saxton, of Ringmer, deposed that she partook of some beer with the prisoner and the deceased, at the last witness's house. Shortly afterwards witness met the prisoner, who said " Mother Smith," meaning the de ceased, had gene down to witness's house. Tho prisoner said he should go too. The deceased came first to wit ness's house, and the prisoner shortly afterwards. The prisoner sent for a pot of beer, and after that was drank he sent for a second one. They were not left together. The deceased had her basket with her, which contained about 10s. worth of goods. Witnsss knew the value from having been in the habit of dealing in such articles. Mrs. Ann Stanford deposed, that at the time of the occurrence she was landlady of the Anchor Inn at Ring mer. The deceased came to her house about eight o'clock in the evening ; she had a pack on her back, and a basket containing cottons, &c. The prisoner, and four other men, named Divall, Stedman, Briggs, and Pocknell, were in the deceased's company in the tap room, and remained drinking together until about half past ten, when witness told them it was nearly time to close. The men then left. Mr. W. Stanford, the husband of the last witness, de posed that he had been to Uckfield on the day of the occurrence, and returned home between twelve and one at night. Witness saw the prisoner in the fields ; ho asked him what he was doing there at that hour. The prisoner asked witness the same question. Witness and the prisoner had some words about the deceased the next morning, it being the general opinion that he knew something about it. Witness told the prisoner he must not go away, as the Jury would want him. He said he was going to Lewes, and they might fetch him if they wanted him. John Pocknell deposed that he was one of the party at the Anchor Inn. Stedman, Briggs and witness left together about a quarter before eleven. They had been all drinking together. Witn( , ss was certain that the prisoner left before the others. Stedman and Briggs went home towords Lewes. The next morning the prisoner came to witness and asked him where he had left the old woman the previous night. Witness replied, at the Anchor. The prisoner said she was drowned in Mr. Lupton's pond, and he thought the young chaps had been at some nonsense with her. The prisoner did not speak to witness afterwords on the subject. - William Smith deposed that he resided at Lewes, quid had lived with the deceased for six years and a half , as man and wife. She was 43 years of age, and witness was 66, On the morning of the 2d of June, 1838, the deceased left home about six o'clock in the morn ing, taking with her a basket, containing about 9s. or lOs. svorth of goods, and a new pack on her back. She had also a snuff box and spectacles. Witness did not know whether she had any money. 'Wit ness, went towards Ringmer to meet her, and waited up wards of an hour, and then retuvned home about eight 0 •,:ock. Witness heard of her death about eleven o'clock t h e ne .xt morning, and received her clothes and various articles. There were only three small wooden boxes and two tin ;)ots, worth about three halfpence each, left in the basket. thimble was all that was found in her pocket. The pack, which was quite new, had two holes cut in it. 'Witness was positive the deceased had her spectacles and snuff-box at the time she left home. The prisone., after being .cautiened by the bench, denied all knowledge of the affair, and said he was never in the company of the deceased until the day in ques tion ; and being a fine night, he was only sauntering, about, smoking his pipe. The prisoner was then remanded for further exami nation until, Monday next, when some important evi dence respecting the spectacles is expected to be adduced. The inquiry lasted upwards of seven hours. WOOLWICH.—Oct. 14. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. OCT. 15.—The Firebrand steam-vessel, Master S. B. Cook, left Woolwich yesterday for Portsmouth.

Prince Reuss, Sir Bosville Durrant and family, Major WKinbly, Capt. Parr, and the Rev. R. Arnold, embarked on Saturday morning from the Custom• house, on board the General Steam Navigation Company's Mail Packet Columbine, Capt. IsTorwooa, for Rotterdam, en route, for the Rhine. Nov, it will appear from this comparison, that th• traffic of the Bristol and Exeter Railway, even at pro sent, stands well ; and the public may, from such a commencement, form something like an opinion of the extensive traffic certain to exist on the entire line to Exeter, developed as it will be during the existence of the lease held by the Great Western Railway Company ; and this leads me to observe that at present the proprietors of the Bristol and Exeter Railway are receiving 30,0001. a year, and a mileage estimated at upwards of 10,000/. a year more, so that they have at once ob tained a revenue from their works, from the opening to Bridgewater. Such being the position of the Com pany, their prospects seem to ma certain. They are rapidly finishing to Taunton, and they will then have an increased rent and an additional mileage, so that again revenue will immediately follow completion of the works. With such a security in aid of the Company's De bentures, it is not surprising that, loans are offered by capitalists, and therefore the 500,0001. which the Com pany's Act of Parliament authorises them to raise will be obtained, and great part of the line constructed without a call ; but the time will come when the remaining 401. per share must be wanted, and then it will be highly important to Devon, Cornwall, and the city of Exeter, if the Directors of the Company receive it with as much rapidity as possi ble, that the works may not be retarded. What then should Devon, Cornwall, and Exeter do ? The answer is obvious, they should pave the way for the calls being quickly made, and paid, by becoming Shareholders. It is very plain to any man's understanding that if the• shares are divided among a great number of persons, each can easily pay up his proportion quickly. No Cornwall, Devon, or Exeter man who can command 701. or 801. should be without a share in the Exeter Railway. From general report, I understand that many shares have lately been bought for Devon shire and Exeter proprietors, and I trust ere long it will be felt as a reproach by all opulent gentlemen, merchants, and tradesmen, in the West of Eugland, if they keep aloof from this line, so important as it is to this part of the kingdom, As a mere money specula tion, the holder of shares at par, with his allotment of forfeited shares, now receives more than 4 per cent., and a buyer at the present discount will get nearly 7, and the Company are in possession of a large income under the lease, towards this payment to proprietors. I think, Sir, that the few facts and comments I have thus thrown together, show that both the position and prospects of the Bristol and Exeter Railway are now beyond the control of adverse cireumstances. It will be made in time, but if we please, it may be done quickly. From the Engineer's Report on the remaining work there seems nothing even of an average difficay except the White Ball Hill Tunnel of about 1,200 yards, and doubtless if the resources of the Company enable it to be done, the line both West and East of this may be finished, and the rails laid, as was the case with the Box Tunnel on the Great Western Railway. Let us then, Sir, now exert ourselves, and I hope the aid of the press will constantly keep the subject before the public mind, that inquiries may be in duced, from which will follow conviction. If the iuflu_ ential gentlemen, merchants, and tradesmen of Exeter had combined, and set an example to Devon and Cornwall four or five years ago, there is no doubt whatever that we might at this very time have had the rail open all the way from Exeter to London. This retrospect i should have its use and stim u l a t e exert i on now , b y which in 1843 thi s grea t a d vantage may b e secure d us . We have men of wealth, s t a ti on , an d i n fl uence i n t h e city and county, and there have bee n rumours of their intended exertions ; but now, when thei r assistance may do so much good, I trust that a few of them will give their attention to the subject, and then, as men are very imitative, we at m on a xtihe y o s u soon proprietors o f n o see r tt: a h a powerful orefsthteo Bbbeo Br i sto l cd body e o ad f n s ud h p a E r a e nx h de o t l e d tr h e s hareho lders Railway, moneys aded expended with all possible dispatch, and then this im portant and attractive part of the kingdom will soon have all the advantages of railway communication.

NIAGARA FALLS, SEPT. 2l.—Th e patriots have, since the removal of the UL,ited States army from Buffalo, again made this neqhbourhood the scene of their operations, in order, if they can, to embroil both countries in war. Last week they made an attempt to blow up two of her Majesty's steam-boats, lying at anchor in the Niagara river, at Chippewa. Lett had laid this ne farious plot, and since his arrest is said to have boasted to Governor Seward at Auburn, "that he had been recently in Canada, and would have been successful if he bad not been captured I" He also acknowledged being the actor in the destruction of Brock's mont:ment, and of a recent blowing up of one of the locks on the Welland Canal.

The Ministerial Envoy is said to have gathered infor mation of a most favourable nature. The amount of the revenue receipts has considerably increased, balancing the expenses, and even slightly exceeding them. The finances are all brought to a regular account, estab lished partly upon the French system—for which the country is indebted to the ability and zeal of the late M. de Itegny. The mercantile marine has been increased to an astonishing extent. The Greek journals, a short time ago, enumerated the naval force, which, in case of war, their Government would be able to oppose to the Turks, and their list showed an effective navy of more that 300 vessels of all kinds.

This Work, a Seventh Edition of which is now presented to the public, ten thousand copies have been exhausted since its first appearance, has been very much improved and enlarged by the addition of a more extended and clear detail of general principles, as also by the insertion of several new and highly in teresting cases. The book, as has been already stated, is the result of very ample and daily increasing experience in a class of diseases, which, for some unaccountable reason, have been either altogether overlooked, or treated almost with indiffer ence, by the ordinary medical practitioner. The proverbial and well known rapacity of unqualified practitioners, who traffic on the health and credulity of patients, has been en couraged and aroused by this supineness, on the part of the regular surgeon. In order to obviate the pernicious effects sure to result from' the practices of such pretenders, the authors have fur a corAiderable time devoted themselves ex clusively to a certain class of diseases; of the necessity of so doing, they were further convinced by feeling that tact in in vestigating the latent sources of many diseases, which arise from certain secret practices, can only be acquired by an ex clusive and undivided attention to this department of medical practice. The numberless instances daily occurring, wherein affections of the lungs, putting on all the outer appearances of consumptior, which, however, when traced to their source, are found to result from certain baneful practices, fully proves that the principle of the division of labour, is nowhere more applicable than in medical practice. Wo feel no hesitation in saying that there is no member of society by whom the book will not be found useful, whether such person hold the relation of a Parent, a Preceptor, or a Clergyman. Thu PARENT, who beholds his beloved child pining away, and fast approaching to a premature grave, in conse quence of some disease, which, for want of careful investiga tion of its real cause, has been set down to the score of con sumption, will, on perusing this work, be astonished to find, that in nine-tenths of the cases of young persons of both sexes, who perish of what is called pulmonary consumption, heart disease, tapes, &c., the sole and exclusive origin has been the indulgence in certain destructive habits practised by youth moth more frequently than it is at all suspected. The PRECEPTOR, also, who holds (temporarily at least), the relation and responsibility of a parent, will, by perusing this work, be directed and very much assisted in investigating and detecting the too often con cealed practices so often introduced into schools, whereby the health and ultimately the lives of his pupils are sure to be com promised, unless the evil be arrested in proper time. He will here find a clue to guide him through the intricate mazes of this moral labyrinth, and a standard whereby to judge, when delicacy of health should appear to attack any of his young charges, what the real causes of such attack may be, and thus he will be enabled to check the evil in its incipient state. The CLERGYMAN, in whose sacred character is at once concentrated she two-fold relation of parent and instructor, will here be directed as to the nature of those habits to which youth it addicted ; he will also be enabled to point out the dis astrous consequences which are sure to follow from them if not relinquished.
