E The effects of the it most4everely felt in the town of WIL .ei6.hotirhood of that place. Between fou_ _14)4 An immense body of water came from the river Colne:Which speedily overflowed its banks, and rushed with the utmost im petuosity into the town ; the rush of the flood was so sudden and violent, that the watchman on (Ratty at the water works had hardly time to make his escape, at d he was obliged to wade up to his middle in water Mete he could get to a place of safety. The whole of the tim ber upon the works was washed away and lost, mai the water poured with frightful violence into the High street of Watford, and at eight o'clock there was e depth in some places of from six to eight feet of water, which completely filled the lower parts of the houses, and the inhabitants were obliged to take shelter in the top rooms, as from the suddenness of the Lod they had no opportunity to leave their habitations. A!l means of communication were of course entirely :topped, .nJ it was at one time feared, from the imaeuse bony of water, that the bridge over the Coke would have be destroyed. The water continued to inereas, for se..Ae.l hours, and in the middle of the day the whole of the meadows, ex tending on each side of the town of Watford to the embankment of the London and Birmingham Railway, preset t d the appearance of a vast lake, and it is fear( d that, the embankment has received sonic injury ; for, stare the water has subsided, workmen have been constently employed upon the eurbisnktnent, and the trains pass over the whole of that portion of the line at a foot-pace. A great dee' of property has been washed away, and a number of pigs and sheep were also lost ; but happily no human life ha's been sacrificed. A rather ludicrous occurrence took place in the town during the flood. Au old man, who preaches at a place he calls Gilead Cha pel, near the bridge, at Watford, and who lives i n a cottage adjoining his chapel, was surprised by the ap proach of the water ; but not imagining that there . was any danger, he r e ti re d t o hi s c h a pel, taking with h im a pipe and some tobacco. The water speedily began to rise, and he was obliged to betake himself to his pulp i t, where he began smoking, and hoping for tine speedy re treat of the water, that he might be able to retire. A number of the Gileadites, as his followers term them selves, went to him, and one of them wished him to ride on his back through the water ; but the old man would not venture, and he remained in his pulpit smoking his pipe, and suerounded by the water for nearly niae hours. A man named Hudson had a narrow escape from losing his life. His cottage was situated at the lowest part of the road, where the water would consequently be the deepest, but he refused to leave it, and said he knew the water could not do him any harm. In a short time the lower room of his house was filled, and at length he was obliged to get upon a table, which soon floated with him, and pitched him into the water headforemost. He contrived to scramble into the street, and assistance being near at hand, he was rescued from what appeared to be almost inevitable destruction, as the water at this spot reached nearly to the first-floor windows. A medical gentleman named Piddock, residing at Watford, also had a narrow escape. He attempted to drive through the water in his gig, but when the horse got to the middle of the water he became alarmed and would not proceed any further, and the chaise was nearly overturned, when a waggon was drivers into the water, and Mr. Piddock was brought out, and after considerable difficulty the 'horse mid chaise were also brought out of the water. On Sunday morning the flood began to subside, and on Monday the houses were kit free from water, and the road was also open, and the parish officers immediately, very humanely, or dered a supply of coals and other necessaries to the poor persons who had been sufferers by the flood. At Harrow a similar inundation took plac,e and there is too much reason to fear that one young man has lost his life. It appears from inquiries made by a corres pondent that this young man, whose name is Chapman, had borrowed a lantern to light him home on Sunday eweeing, and on his way he would have to pass the stone bridge, where the water was very deep. The lantern was found the next morning, but the unfortu nate young man has not since been heard of', and it is feared he missed his way and was drowned. The water throughout all this neighbourhood is now, we are happy to say, fast subsiding. Just published, price 2s. 6.1.

JOSEPH TAYLOR, iron merchant, Wednesbury, Sta. fordshire• KONIGSBERG, JAN. 6.—lt appears that the murderer of the venerable Bishop of Ereniland got into the palace, with which he was well acquainted, in the evening, when the Prelate had sent all his servants to church. He appears to have gone direct to the Bishop's sitting room, and to have cleft his skull with a bill•hook, so that he died instantly. He then broke open the cup board in which the money was kept. At that moment the housekeeper came in, and the murderer, though disguised and wearing a mask, thought it necessary, for his security, to murder her ; he, accordingly, gave her a severe wound in the face, and fled. The servants returning from church, found the two bodies, and imme diately gave the alarm. The physicians found the housekeeper still living, but unable to speak, and without hopes of recovery. BERLIN, JAN. 9.—Public opinion soon designated one Rudolph Kuknappl, as the murderer of the Bishop. He is 26 or 27 years of age, of the Roman Catholic religion. He has several brothers and sisters. He was educated by the Bishop, who, intending him for a clergyman, placed him in the seminary. Being dis missed for bad conduct he was taken by.the. Bishop as a servant, but was dismissed for theft, and bound to a tailor, but he would not work, and led a vaga band life, repeatedly threatened the Bishop and Othe Canons, and declared he would set flue to the residences of several Canons. For this he was put in prison, which increased his rancour towards the Bishop. He lately demanded of the Bishop 400 dollars, threatening him with the worst consequences if he refused. He was seen near the Bishop's residence between 6 and 7 o'clock in the evening, and in search ing him to-day much of the property belonging to the Bishop was found. He was arrested, but instantly denied the charge. His parents, with whom he lived, and his sisters, are likewise arrested.—Prussian State Gazette, Jan. 11.

The odour of some persons is said to have been quite a perfume. Plutarch mentions that Alexander the Great smelt, not of carnage like a hero, but most plea santly. Fragrance proceeded also from Augustus. In the memoirs of the Queen of Navarre we read that Cathe rine de Medici was a nosegay ; and Cujacius the civilian, and Lord Herbert of Cherbury, were equally delightful. Dr. Speranza lately witnessed a strong balsamic fragrance from the inner l art of the left forearm of a healthy man, which continued, especially in the morning, for two months, and ceased for good on the supervention of fever. Van Swicten mentions a man whose left armpit smelt strongly of musk ; and Wedel and Gahrliess saw each a similar ex ample.—Dr. Elliotson's Human Physiology.

SINGULAR CIRCITMSTA NCE.--A circumstance of a novel nature occurred on board th e b arque Armata, Captain Jackson, which arrived at Swansea a few days since, while lying at St. Jago de Cuba. A swarm of bees took possession of one of the berths in the cabin, and built the major part of a honeycomb. Captain Jackson fed them regularly with sugar and water, and had brought them many hundrcth of miles to . sea with him, but a strong gale of wind coming on, tney left the ship. The h ,neycomb may still be seen on board the ship, in the state the bees left it,— Cambrian, PROVISIONAL COMMITTEE.

COURT OF ALDERMEN. Yesterday a Court was held for the despatch J business. It was crowded in consequence of the inte rest excited by the petitions against the late elections at Wardmotes for Common Councilmen. LA NGEOURN WARD ELECTION. Alderman HUMPHERS presented a petition from Mr. Richard Gude against the return made for Langbourn Ward, on account of certain irregularities in the pro. ceedings at the last wardmote. The petition sub mitted that the election was null and void, in conse quence, amongst other things, of the poll not being open at the hours prescribed by law. After some conversation among the Aldermen the petition was ordered to be taken into consideration at the next Court, and it was directed that the parties in terested should have notice to attend. COLEMAN -STREET WARD ELECTION. Sir JOHN KEY presented a petition from Mr. Taylor and Mr. Const against the return of Mr. R. T. Cons sons, as a representative of this ward, on the ground of i , eligibility, Mr. Cousens not being a resident inha bitant of the ward. The Alderman also presented a petition from Mr. Bracher, ono of the candidates, to the same effect. The petitions were ordered to be considered at the next Court. CORDWAINEi'S WARD. Mr. T. G. WILLIAMS appeared with a petition against the return of this ward, upon the ground of the inaccurate and careless manner in which the poll-books were kept. He, however, after some observations from Alderman Thomas Wood and others, begged permis sion to withdraw the petition, a request with which the Court complied. THE WARD OF FARRINGDON WITHOUT. Sir PETER LAURIE then called the attention of the Court to the petitio, which he had presented on Plough Monday, on the subject of the election at the wardmote of this ward. He stated that as it was admitted upon ill sides that the election was null and void, the course to be adopted would be very concise. It was only ne cessary for the Lord Mayor to i ssue hi s p rece pt t o hold a wardrnote for a new election. Sir JAMES DUKE said that he had admitted, upon the presentation of the petition, that its allegations were all perfectly true. He had, he said, been induced to leave the wardmote to vote for a clerk to St. Bartholomew's H , ►spital, during the polling, and had thus vitiated the election.—(Hear.) Sir P. LAURIE said that the head clerk admitted the truth of the allegations in the petition. The TOWN CLERK mentioned that a scrutiny had been commenced in the ward, but was withdrawn. Sir J. DUKE stated that the scrutiny had been with drawn, upon the understanding that the Court of Al dermen would declare the election null and void, on account of his having left the chair during the polling. The petition of the inhabitants of the ward having been read, Alderman BROWN asked whether all parties concur rod in the prayer, and an answer in the affirmative was returned. Mr. WELLS, as advocate for the petitioners, wished to say a few words on the subject. Alderman T. WOOD said the application was rather singular. Could not the Learned Gentleman be satin• fled with the success of the cause he had undertaken to advocate, ?—(A laugh.) Mr. WELLS said his only objection in addressing the Court was to disclaim that the petitioners meant any thing invidious to Sir James Duke.—( Hear, hear.) It was then formally proved that the allegations in the petition were correct, and Upon the motion of Alderman THOMPSON the LORD MAYOR was requested to issue a precept for calling a wardmote for a new election. Sir JAMES DUKE, with whom it rests to appoint a day for the new election, stated that he should consult the ,•c:iiveaior c e of all parties in that appointment as much as possible. VINTRY WARD. The return of this ward, which stated that two a the candidates had an equal number of votes, was then taken into consideration, and the LORD MAYOR was requested to issue a precept for another election as re garded the gentlemen whose votes were on an equality. THE BOROUGH MAGISTRACY. Alderman BROWN brought up the Report from the Police Committee respecting the Borough Magistracy. It recommended the discontinuance of the performance of magisterial duties by the Aldermen of London in the borough of Southwark. A long conversation took place upon the subject, which is postponed for further consideration, after the inhabitants of the Borough shall have had an oppor tunity of meeting and petitioning in favour of the con tinuance of the Aldermanic Magistracy. ATTENDANCE OF ALDERMEN AT THE COURTS OF COMMON COUNCIL. Alderman BROWN brought up the Report of the Po lice Committee, recommending, as a security for the at tendance of a sufficient number of Aldermen in the Court of Common Council to prevent the breaking up of the Court, that the two Aldermen on the rota as vi?itors to the prisons for each month should attend the Courts of Common Council. The Report was ordered to lie on the table. Alderman GIBBS begged to know whether the Lord Mayor had any communication to make on the subject of a statement addressed to his Lordship and published in the newspapers on the administration of the Poor laws in the City, by Mr. Pewtress ? The LORD MaYort said that he considered the com munication which Deputy Pewtress had sent to him, to be one rather of a private, than a public nature. Alderman GIBBS said that there were some allegations in that statement which he considered it to be proper for him to notice, as they were calculated to throw con tempt upon the City of London Union, of which he (Alderman Gibbs) was chairman. He then read some of the passages alluding to the shocking state of desti tution, and stated to them how opposed the fact was to the impression meant to be conveyed, that within the last year, 7,015 individuals had been relieved by the City of London Union, and of - that number only six ap plied for second relief.---( Hear, hear.) The Court then adjourned. very forced construction of the phrase " national debt" to apply it to transactions with the Indians, as the purchase of the ceded territory is commonly redeemed, and that at a very early period, by sales of the land itself to new settlers. The message, therefore, in its items of account, appears to us to remain unshaken. These papers, by the present arrival, have been re ferred to in the city with some curiosity in connexion with the affairs of the United States Bank, which have acquired new importance since it was known that the agency in London has been undertaken by the eminent house of James Morrison and Sons. Though it is con fidently held out that the Bank would resume specie payments in this month, it is nevertheless certain that on the spot, and in New York particularly, a very un favourable view is taken of its affairs. F,,r this some allowance is to be made on account of the rivalry that subsists between New York and Philadelphia in bank ing business generally, but still it seems that no harm can be done to the shareholders in Europe of the United States Bank by exhibiting to them the view its condition taken by an opponent, especially as that is supported by a reference to figures, put forth as a statement of account by the management. Mercantile men more particularly will judge of the soundness of the following remarks, which are;taken from the Journal of Commerce of the 28th ult. : " THE UNITED STATES BANK STATEMENT. " In tne present posture of our curreucy it is of great importance that the real condition of the Bank of the United States should be correctly understood. The ex position of its affairs, as published by Mr. Jaudon in Lon don, throws a good deal of light on the subject, though not so much us the public would be glad to have, nor as the exigency seemed to. :imam'. The fact that this state ment represents the Bank as possessing its capital entire, and a surplus of ovCr three millions, while at the same time the stock is allowed to sell in market at two-thirds of its par value, has caused some persons to conclude that they who know most about the matter know the state ment to be fallucioua. The fate of the Bank must turn upon the value of the following large items—viz. : " Dollars. Cts. " Bills discounted on personal security 16,580,037 11 Bills discounted on other security. 5,438,177 08 Domestic Bills of Exchange Foreign Bills of Exchange ... ..... Stock Accounts .10,980,569 05 "47,895,663 34 " Of this immense mass of claims, exceeding the whole capital of the Bank, we suppose it is safe to say that there is not one obligation which has not been dishonoured. There may be, perhaps, more or less of these claims which have been renewed from time to time, and these renewal notes may not all have been protested. But the Bank has made no new discounts of any importance for the last 12 months, nor in fact but few for the last three years. Every bill, therefore, which it took must have long since arrived at maturity. Ever since the suspension in 1837, it is well understood that the Bank has been earnestly engaged in collecting its claims. It has within that time done a vast amount of new business, and has made some new discounts. Immediately on the last suspension it discounted a million or two, perhaps more ; but all those bills matured long ago. If one quarter part of these bills are such as would be counted good in market, they might have been readily dis counted at other banks, bringing four times the amount of the loan which has been negotiated with so much trouble. The large smount loaned on stocks, which appears under the head of Stock Accounts,' must be in the same condi tion of dishonour with the bills ;' and as to some of the stocks held as collateral, it is known that they are worth very little. What, then, is the value of these debts? .. ......... . . ‘; There is another class of assets whi c h, perhaps,. is worth a somewhat larger per tentage upon its par value, viz.:.— " Real estate Banking-houses Bonds and mortgages 981,502 28 " $4,138,625 29 " There is then the items due by the State banks,' and ' notes of State banks,' both together ..`9,573,237 33. The State banks referred to cannot mean the solvent banks of Philadelphia or New York, unless it may be that the ' bank of the United States in New York' is included, which may perhaps stand on the books as a large debtor, in consequence of being charged with the suspended debt here. The bank balances in Philadelphia are all the other Kay. These claims, therefore, must many of them be a,f,Tainst incolrent institutions. In the item of notes of State banks,' we have reason to think, are included the notes of one or more banks in Pennsylvania which have been worthless these dozen years. " The item ' bonus for charter 25 years,' though pro perly enough put as it is in the statement, is obviously of no value as a resource for the payment of debts. " The stocks deposited as security for loans in Europe,' may be fairly offset against those loans, though, as they arc put down at their own cost, which was generally par at least, they would not now sell for enough to settle the account. Then come stocks on hand in London —42,741,505 56 Agency—London, Paris, and Amsterdam 1,377,999 72 "14,119,505 28 " What these stocks are, and wity it is that these ba knees lie thus in the hands of agents, we have no means of judging. The balances would certainly not remain, if they were really available. " Finally, we arrive at something tangible, viz. : " Specie $2,890,388 37 Pennsylvania Five per Cents. 1,116,407 21 Loan to Commonwealth " $4,267,795 58 " The specie is a good and substantial asset, and the Pennsylvania stock can be sold for its market value. " Guessing as well as we can, we will now just put a value to these several items, as high as in our judgment the final result will prove them to be now worth, via.:— " $37,695 . 663 34 at 50 per cent $18,847,831 67 4,138,625 29 at 60 9,573,237 38 at 50 4,119,505 28 at 66 2.3 2,890 388 37 at par 2,890,388 37 1,487,407 21 at 93 " $:33,144,639 b 8 The liabilities of the Bank, exclusive of the loans in Europe, are as follow: . . Circulation 59,725,508 90 Post notes .... 2 257,590 28 Bonds to United States 1,336,904 28 Due State Banks Deposits 2,815,368 40 Guaranteed to Michigan Guarantee of Bonds Planters' Bank 611,000 00 " 124,396,078 10 " Nearly 20,000,000 of these liabilities are payable on demand, while most of the assets can only be realized by very moderate instalments. How there can be any hope of success with the loan in Europe, which Mr. Jaudon went out so confidently to negotiate, we do not under stand. Surely the Bank cannot borrow without collate rals, for it could not 18 months ago, when its credit was much stronger than it is now ; and of collaterals it has but a very small remainder. Should the assets of the Bank prove finally as good as we have estimated them or better, three years at least will be required to realize. an amount equal to the claims against the institution now payable on demand. " Under these circumstances,, the effort on the part of the Bank to resume specie payments, and on the part of the other Philadelphia banks to assist in doing so, is preposterous. The Bank cannot continue to pay specie, nor to pay at all, and it is a shame that the currency and business of the country should be again agitated and put in jeopardy for its sake. Its proper course is liquidation. Justice to its stockholders and the public demand that it should make no more sacri fices to maintain appearances. The Philadelphia banks have yet one chance to save themselves. We fear it is their last, and if their eyes are not closed with scales which no exhibitions of truth can cause to fall, they must see their danger, and try to escape. In Philadelphia, although there are more men who think as we do than dare to tell their thoughts, yet it is the way with the newspapers and with too many of the bank directors to answer all such statements by crying S Hostility to Pennsylvania and her institutions.' But we beg to remind them, that 14 months ago we sent them the history of the present position, and declared all the prominent facts which this analysis con firms. We beg them also to remember that all our state ments and predictions concerning the course of this bank, and the end of that course, have turned out as true as if they had been spoken by inspiration ; and we ask thorn to inquire whether, if an enemy tells us the truth, it is the part of a wise man to reject it because of its source. But it has been the lot of all who have predicted events disagreeable to their fellow men, to be called ene mica. Yet, when all their predictions have been verified, it has been common to allow them a better motive. But what is thought of our motives in this matter, we can tell our neighbours of Philadelphia, is of more serious im. portance to them than to us. We have lost a good deal by our resistance to the bad administration of the United States Bank. But we do not wish to retrace our steps, nor to stop until it shall cease to wrong the business of the country. It is of great importance to the whole nation that tile resumption about to take place in Philadelphia should be sound and permanent. It is especially import ant to Philadelphia. If the other banks resume without the United State; Bank, the resumption will possess in sonic good degree the public confidence, and will be a comparatively easy thing. But if the United States Bank is included, the public distrust will draw every dollar of money oat of Philadelphia im mediately, and place it in situations more secure, and most of it will come to New York. To sustain such a resumption will require that money should be made and kept intensely scarce in Philadelphia. For once, the interest of every Philadelphia merchant, whether he be a debtor to the United States Bank or not, is obviously op posed to the plans of the bank. The interest of every mer chant in the whole country is also against the bank. New York, and Providence, and Boston, secure as we all are, not behind cotton bales exactly, but behind principles of truth and honesty, all these places will be agitated and in jured by the proposed resumption. We know that the Philadelphia banks have negotiated their loan un the plan of including the United States Bank in the resumption. But there was no pledge that this should be the case, nor do those who loan the money care, we think, to have it se. They are therefore not shut out from the liberty of turn iog which way tiley please,"—Times. ANNUAL DIVISION OF PROFITS. UNIVERSAL 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 remaining four-fifths are set apart to enter into the average of the succeeding years, and thus to provide against unforeseen contingencies. The first 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 policies entitled to participation. The following table will show the operation of the reduction made by the Society : Ago when Policy was issued. Sum Assured Original Premium. AMERICAN BANNS. The last arrival ep of ac en N i e ol e f v theeYbosrtkpe rr, p e o a s if p d e eh r na s tv n furnishes the speech of M r . W r i ght, Member of the United i o S h t a rt g e s e S b e y n a t h t e e , i H n d on ern . a number of misstatements and omissions in his message respecting the national debt. It had already been ad mitted that the balance of outstanding Treasury notes had been correctly stated by the President as amount ing to no more than $ 4 ,500,000 ; but the complaint was, represented that as th e w h o l e deb s t , .. thatl‘„i her. had to show th a t th e P res id ent was Webster, wrongly wrong, had referred to what are called the " trust funds," and chiefly, if not entirely, to those portions which ap pertain to the Indians. Of these he (Mr. Webster) had said that he was inclined to believe that portions had been expended for the use of the Treasury, and were now a debt on the country, and that the money stipulated by the Indian treaties to be invested had not been all invested, but that large sums had been ex pended, and were therefore a debt against the Treasury. To answer these allegations, Mr. Wright said, he found it necessary to consider several of these Indian treaties by themselves, as they varied in the provisions for the trusts constituted under them. In the first place, he referred to the treaty with the Chickasaws, which constituted a trust of a novel description, accord ing to which the United States had become the volun tary trustee of the Chickasaws, stipulating to sell their lands, and, after deducting incidental expenses, to ac count to them for all monies remaining unexpended. Tile principal part of the money to be so received, he ;earned at the Treasury, had been placed in charge of th head of that department, for the purpose of invest ment ; small portions, belonging to orphans, and certain of her members of the tribe, remaining in charge of the Secretary of War. All the money in the charge of the Treasury, above the expenses, had been invested, where there had been time since the receipts ; ne part of it had been expended, and therefore an addition to the national debt was not to be sought In this quarter. This money is the only Indian mo n ey in charge of th e Trea sury,Tiewseithtreaties, said Mr. a i o th f s M u n m i r tie tribes, attached WebsterW ebster committed A be n r ot o h f er tr r e e a fe ti r o z we the rest being by the treaties t o th e Wright, had stipulated that the several su ms s h ou ld I S ia c c e l re b ta ee ry n o t f o W a a n r. um ch be invested for the benefit of the tribes ment i one d, t w o h Etch he hoafd their classed names. altogether, which he believed hid not been done, Congress having preferred to appropriate the annual interest as part of the current expenses. He had learned, indeed, that in many cases sales of the lands ceded by the treaties had not been made, that in many cases the expenses of the tre lties had not been covered, and that in none was there sufficient money to bring a large portion of capi tal into the Treasury. He also showed that there was a constitutional reason for the non-investment, which was, that Congress had neither provided nor appro priated the money required, and therefore, while he ad mitted it was a debt, said it was not one that could be recognized by the Secretary of the 'Treasury in present ing the means and liabilities. Mr. Webster bad also expressed suspicions of other debts, but these mere sus picions Mr. Wright said it was impossible for him to fathom. . . _ ...... Thus it is tolerably apparent that the whole of Mr. Webster's attempt to criminate the Executive amounts to little more than a piece of special pleadiag, It DIVIDENDS.

THE PHYSICAL-FORCE DOCTOR.—Dr.Busby was head master of Westminster School, and had he been living now in these Chartist days when the schoolmaster is abroad with a vengeance, this first class physical-force man probably would have been found with a leek in his hat, and a rod under his arm, reading " great moral les sons" on the 'Welsh mountains to assembled thousands of terrific Taffies. The supposition is hazarded. because the flogging doctor showed through life a leaning to brute force, and a preference of matter to mind. But setting aside supposition, and speaking seriously of a fact, this erudite pedant's penchant for punishment is well known, and a hundred incidents illustrative of it will suggest them selves to every body. Amongst other facts, the following one may be relied on as authentic. A gentleman, whose son had born flogged four times in one week, sent by his footman a rather angry letter to Dr. Busby, complaining of the se vere correction to which his heir had been subjected, and calling upon him in a tone of indignant authority to send by the bearer a reply, as fully distinct and satisfactory as the outraged feelings of a father and a gentleman, might demand. The footman delivered his letter, was desired by the Doctor to wait for an answer, was in a few minutes shown into a small back-room, seized by Busby's practised people, and received as good a birching as ever boy was blessed with. He was then permitted to go away, the Doctor saying to him, " make my compliments to your master;- tell him no other answer to his letter is necessary, as you yourself have the original, of which he may, if he choose, have a copy any day he likes—' a full, distinct, and satisfactory one'—but personal applications only will be attended to."—Sportsman of January.

Notwithstanding the proverbial uncertainty of the female sex, there are two points of certainty regarding a Frenchwoman, Liz., it you offer her a hook, she will are the; e any pictures? if you recominahl her a medi cine, she will ask, Is it sweet 1' Two pointx of certainty, such a wavering mental compass, is a degree of con stancy quite worthy to rank with the trade•winds ! The French regard our school of medicine with u tore of contempt and dread which is highly amusing :. contempt at our supposed inferiority of science, and dread of the powerful and injurious system of prescrip tion, of which they consider calomel, quinine, and prussic acid to be the fatal graces. The following curious remedies are all deemed infalnle in Franco for a confirmed pulmonary complaint ; and any one of them is considered sufficient to cure consumption, asthma, or even utroph) : A glue bath. A warm bath, in which two or three pounds of fine glue have been dissolved, until the whole feels adhesive, and leaves a coating on the skin ; taken every day, and no other sort of ablution allowed ! Tie aromatic Soup, made of chickens filled with dates, figs, and raisins, and then boiled until the whole forms an undistinguishable mass of meat and sweet, which is to be eaten with the soup every two hours. The mixed flavour of fowl and figs is really un increase on the horror of the schoolboy trick of recommending " a sugared oyster."' Snail-paste, and scolloped Snails.—ln th e of these dainty preparations the snails are boiled in milk and sugar until the whole forms a jelly when cold ; it is then cut in pieces like jujubes, and to be taken constantly. The second-named luxury is used at table by the healthy as well as by invalids, as the Eoglish have scolloped oysters or dressed crab ; and in our country a new French dish being considered a great prize, who knows but the following genuine receipt may lead a fashion ? Collect several dozens of the largest snails, of the white-shell kind, put them into a covered earthen ware vessel to keep them fast and fasting during twenty-four hours ; then put them in a deep pan full 4 of new milk for another twenty-four hours : next give them another day of tasting in the covered vessel, and on the fourth day they arc to be shelled, mixed wilds crumbs of bread, spice, and butter, baked in silver scallop shells, and then way be eaten—by any one who has resolution, or a pulmonary illness ! Lastly may be mentioned the syrope a'orgeat, in which the French have great faith ; it is the juice of sweet almonds, prepared with glint and a quan tity of sugar, to form a thick syrup ; teaspoonful of this is mixed with a tumbler of hot water, and makes a mawkish, sickly, warm think, which soon palls the invalid, to whom it is unmer cifully prescribed (lay and night —a sort of saccharine Sangrado system. Camphorated cigars and cigars of stramonium are greatly recommended for teinale patients; and, in fact, there seems in most of these popular fancies a sort of struggle after something to astonish, and cu:e by the effect of imagination. A contrast to the foregoing is the last new German whim, a system of universal cure by cold water, copious draughts of the pure element unadulterated by sugar, orangedlnwer, orgeat, capillaire, or the many siropos with which the ma/erie inedica of France meconunodatcs the female palate, enaVng the gallant sons of Escula pins to answer affirmatively the unfai!ing question, " Is it sweet ?''
