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 arid well known rapacity of unqualified pracOtioners, who traffic on the health and credulity of patients,Fhas been en couraged and aroused by this supineness, on the part of the regular surgeon. In order to obviate the pernicious effects sure to result from the practices of such pretenders, the authors have fur a considerable time devoted themselves ex clusively to a certain class of diseases; of the necessity of so doing, they were further convinced by feeling that tact in in vestigating the latent sources of many diseases, which arise from certain secret practices, can only be acquired by an ex clusive and undivided attention to this department of medical practice. The numberless instances daily occurring, whersin affections of the lungs, putting on all the outer appearances of c onsumption, which, however, when traced to their source, are found to result from certain baneful practices, fully proves that the principle of the division of labour, is nowhere more applicable than in medical practice. We feel no hesitation in saying that there is no member of society by whom the book will riot be found useful, whether such person hold the relation of a Parent, a Preceptor, or a Clergyman. The PARENT, who beholds his beloved child pining away, and fast approaching to a premature grave, in conse quence of some disease, which, for want of careful investiga tion of its real cause, has been set clown 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 i s called pulmonary consumpti on , &c., the sole and exclusive origi n h as heartbeen disease th e i nd'ulgei tapes, ce in certain t than a r n le i s t t u s cat. v t. ael all suspected. tpractised by youth much more frequently The PRECEPTOR, also, who holds ( a tem p r e r n a t r , ily wil a i t , least), the relation and responsibility _ _ thaendtooveorftyenmeuonch absysistieiedrustningtmt.ehsitsigawtinogrk,anbde detecting; surew Itioerte)ebyeotinhe he con cealed practices h an d ultimately so often t he i I n i t v r e ot s l o u f ccht i l s into pupils schools, are promised, unless the evil be arrested in properti here fina a c l ue t o gu id e him through the intricaten time. mazesile will here ofl 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, anti thus he will be enabled to check the evil in its incipient state. The CLERGYMAN, in whose sacred character is at once concentrated the t wo -f o ld re l at i on o f paren t and instructor, will here be directed a s to the nature of those habits to which youth is addicted ; lie will also be enabled to point out the dis. estrous consequences which are sure to follow from them if not relinquished.

" The editor has deserved well of his country and of the church of God for his present undertaking." " A very high meed of praise is due to the pious and bene volent editor for having, at the expense of a large sacrifice of money as well as of time, accomplished an undertaking to which hitherto only the exertions of an eiiiscopal bench, and the ex penditure of national funds have been deemed adequate." " Sacred regard has been paid to the moulds of thought and expression which our venerable translators had used." " A multitude of the emendations are admirable, and while they bring out more fully the spirit of the original, they strikingly tend to elucidate the truths and facts of the sacred oracles." " The editor has impaired no doctrine of the Gospel ; has ventured on no conjectural renderings ; and has done no via knee to the evangelical spirit of the inspired oracles. In not a few instances he has shed light on the sacred text by placing it in a clearer point of view ; while by better renderings he has removed many contradictions and indelicacies out of the way of the English reader."

PRICE 5d STOPPAGE of the TWEED BANK. The present week will long be remembered in Berwick for the occurrence of an event which cannot fail to prove a heavy calamity to the whole district. On Monday morning the Tweed Bank—ia which the public had shown implicit confidence for the whole forty years of its existence, and up to the very moment before the an nouncement—stopped p a y men t. U p to t h e l ast h our on Saturday, people were making deposits and transacting g other busi ness at t h e b ank in the same manner, and to as nnosttoa astounding d h f r .ae against an extent, usualas usual hour, ; and the credit of th e firm was heard till, on t h e d oors not being re opened a t the announced that the bank had stopped. The announce ment literally came upon the town like a thunder-clap ; and in a very short period consternation and the most gloomy forebodings pervaded the whole community. Throughout the day the individual losses which had been sustained were on everybody's lips, and many cases, where whatever loss may accrue will fall with dreadful severity, have become known. The event has since re mained the sole and engrossing subject of conversation in the town ; but up to this time nothing whatever worthy of reliance is known to the public as to the cause of the calamity or its probable extent ultimately. Inst an t s t eps were taken (with the concurrence of the bank) to have a commission of bankruptcy issued, and all surmises as to the cause or result of the calamity will soon be set at rest. In the meantime, it can only be said that beyond all doubt the event is one which must prove ruinous to many individuals, and inflict a deep injury on the town and district. The Tweed Bank was establithcd in 1804, by Messrs. Thomas Batson and Shadworth, and owed its origin to the failure (in 1803) of the " Berwick Bank"— an event which created a sensation similar to the present. Some years afterwards Mr. Shadworth withdrew, and was succeeded by Mr. Berry ; Mr. Langhorne joining somewhere about 1819. From its first establishment up to Monday morning last, the Tweed Bank continued to possess much the greater part of the banking business of the district, without experiencing the smallest interrup tion to the implicit confidence which the public reposed in it. The partners of the firm at its failure were Messrs. William Smith Batson,John Wilson, and John Langhorne. Considerable alarm has been created among the depo sitors in the Savings'Bank here, which establishment did business through Messrs. Batson, Berry, and Co. We are happy to be able to state, on the best authority, that for the money lying in the Tweed. Bank as well as for the other funds, there was Government security, and that the Savings' Bank cannot suffer in the slightest degree. As might have been expected, a " run" to a slight ex tent took place on the Joint Stock Bank on the alarm ; but all demands being promptly met, the run yesterday was quite at an end. We hear that the Directors of this bank have resolved to issue Bank of Scotland notes at their Berwick branch till the alarm has completely sub sided.— Berwick Advertiser. ig CHAMBERS' INFORMATION FOR THE PEOPLE." (From the Morning Advertiser.) It is bad enough in all conscience that there should be a large and important section of the press of this country avowedly •in the interest of thu land-owning, monopolizing, fatnine-mongering aristocracy, as opposed to the interests of the country generally, and, to no in considerable extent, against the very and of that class of its inhabitants whose skill and industry produce all that ministers to human comfort and enjoyment. But it is still worse to find that portion of the press which has been called into existence and is sustained by the funds of the productive classes, ministering to the un righteous objects and upholding the much-abused power of the greedy and grinding oligarchy. It creates no astonishment when the Timm or the Standard is found setting at nought all the evidences which press themselves upon men's minds of the de teriorated and deplorable condition of the working classes, and expatiating upon the advantages of corn laws and other long-fostered monopolies, created for the benefit of the few at the heavy cost of the many; but it does excite astonishment when publications like Cham bers's Information for the People, " a comprehensive poor man's cyclopaedia," for " diffusing 'useful know ledge"—supported by the people, as it is avowedly fur the people—is found lending its great influence, and prosti tuting its almost immeasurable power, in like manner, in aid of the hard-hearted and life-destroying landlords. This is not the first time that the Messrs. Cham bers have become amenable to this grave charge ; and we hold it to be our duty—whatever may be our sense of obligation for the benefits they have conf e r re d u p on the reading poor, and that sense of obligation is by no means slight—to expose the false statements and reasonings by which they ever and anon attempt to into the enemy's hands, whenever they may happen to fall under our notice. The forty-sixth number of the " Information for the People," is a treatise upon "Popu lation, Poor-laws, and Life Assurance;" and in the sec•• tion treating of population we find the following remarks: " Where we see the inhabitants of an old country ra pidly increasing, we must come to one of two conclusions, either that that country is in a flourishing state, so that there is a kind of bounty put upon children, or that it is in a state of such wretchedness that the intercourse of the sexes is the only attainable enjoyment. With re gard to Ireland, we presume, there can be no doubt of its liability to pass into the latter category. But the rapid increase of the English people in the last forty years, will probably be the subject of a doubt. To determine this question, it might be inquired if the increase of the agricultural products and of the manufacturing industry of the country has been in an equal ratio, and if labouring men, skilled and unskilled, can now obtain for their wages as large a share of the coo forts of life us formerly. Notwithstanding popular declamations to the contrary, we suspect this to be the case ; and, consequently, believe, the increase of popu lation in England to be, upon the whole, of a healthy description." And is it really a matter of doubt, whether, in Eng land, " the increase of the agricultural products and of the manufacturing industry of the country has been in an equal ratio ; and whether labouring men, skilled and unskilled, can ❑ow obtain for their wages as large a share of the comforts of life as formerly ?" We think not, but we take the fact to be just the reverse of that stated by the Messrs. Chambers. We need not look far for the proofs of our proposition. - AN TI-CORN -LAW CONFERENCE. EDINBURGH, DEC. 7, 1841.—At a preliminary meet ing of ministers and members of Dissenting Churches, residing in this city and neighbourhood, held in Broughton-place Session-house this day, to consider the propriety of calling a public meeting of ministers and members of Dissenting Churches, from various parts of Scotland, to be held in Edinburgh, on Tuesday, the 11th, and Wednesday, the 12th of January, 1842, to express their opinion of the injustice and immoral tendency of the Corn and Provision-laws, and to petition for their total repeal, and an entirely free Wide in corn— Present, Rev.

ABOLITION OF THE EXCHEQUER BILL °Film—We understand that the f orger i es comm itt e d by Beaumont Smith and . his more gu il ty accomp li ces w ill, possibly, lead to a transfer of the b us i ness connecte d wit h the issue and payment of Exchequer bills to the Bank of England. Ministers are already in possession of the terms upon which the Governors of that establishment will undertake the management and risk of this import ant security. No arrangement can be defi n i t i ve l y entere d into until th e meeting of Parliament, when it is expected that one of the first measures of the session will be the appointment of a select committee to inquire into the management of the department of th e C omptro ll er General and Paymasters of Exchequer Bills ; upon the issue of which will depend the abolition of the depart ment itself, and the transfer of its affairs to the Bank of Englainl.—Circ der. On Friday night week, the Perseverance, Evans, of Carnarvon, from Yarmouth (Isle of Wight) for Dub lin, was totally wrecked on Jack Sound, to the north ward of this harbour. Three of the crew found a watery grave, the master only being saved. He spent the first night in a cave ; the next day, in attempting to climb up the rock., missed - his footing, anti fell into the s ea f ront an overhanging rock of forty feet in height. He suc ceeded in regaining the cave, where he sp ent another night, and on the, following morning got to the top of the cliff. He was found in the door park of W. C. A. Philips, Esq , of St. Bride's Hill, in a very weak state, from want 01 food, and injuries received amongst the rocks, and taken to a neighbouring farm-house. Between eleven and twelve o'clock on Saturday night, as one of the Clapham omnibuses was passing the Orphan Asylum, Westminster-road, the passengers felt a sudden jerk, as if one of the wheels had gone over a large substance, and immediately after was heard a low stifled groan. The driver immediately stopp e d, an d upon the conductor getting down, to his horror he discovered that the wheel had passed over the body of a ma n , . who had been killed upon the spot. It supposed that the deceased was a ballad-singer, for in his pockets were found several songs, a sixpence, and fourpence in copper. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. (From the Hampshire Telegraph.)

( 2 tr 4 Oop e,P h; We have been favoured with a letter from an officer of her Majesty's brigantine Bonetta, 3 Lieut. J. Austen. dated Sierra Leone, October the 10th. The writer had arrived there in charge of the Portuguese slayer Aeorieno Oriental, which had been captured by the Bo netta after looking out for her nearly two months. She had a full cargo of goods on board, and everything re quisite for taking in slaves ; 300 had been registered for her off the Galinas, and were to have been taken on board on the 30th September, but it was prevented by the Bonetta falling in with her. In consequence of the vessel being condemned at the Admiralty Court at Sierra Leone, it is expected that the proceeds of the cargo goes to the Crown, and only the tonnage paid to the captors. They were anxiously looking out .for another s l aver , of which they had information, and in great hopes of fall ing in with her shortly. The Wanderer, 16, Coin, the Hon. J. Denman, had arrived at Sierr a L eone, and was to sail on the 11th October, taking the pri ze - master and crew down to the Bonetta, cruising off Cape Mount. The Persian had been very lucky, and sent into Sierra Leone several prizes. The crews of these vessels were healthy. • IRELAND. TORY ADDRESSES TO LORD 1)E GREY. DUBLIN, DEC. 10.—There was quite a field-day at the Vice-regal residence yesterday, no less than three deputations having attended with addresses. The ad dresses purported to come from the counties of Armagh, Tyrone, and Wicklow ; but as regards the express:on of public opinion, they might almost as well be described as emanating from any three counties in Scotland. The county meetings at which those addresses were got up, Wicklow and Armagh especially, were most ludicrous failures ; and in Tyrone, the Marquiss of Abercorn and Lord Claude Hamilton, when remarking upon the miss rably small attendance, attributed it to the improper steps taken by the place-hunters who managed the affair. Nevertheless, the addresses commenced—" We, the no bility, gentry, clergy, freeholders," &c. The Three Tailors of Tooley-street to perfection. The answers of Lord de Grey were the merest school boy effusions—boasting of " firmness and impartiality" after his degrading apology to Mr. West, and his Orange appointments. In his answer to the Armagh deputation, the chief members of which were Colonel Verner and Colonel Blacker, both of whom had been dismissed from the Magistracy by the late Government for participating in offensive Orange displays, his Excellency said—" You generously promised me your confidence in guiding your exertions. Your con fid ence s h a ll not be misplaced. For getfulness of former injury, forbearance under present wrong, oblivion of the past, and good will for the future, will be the rule of action for those who may be guided by my influence." - In This passage his Excellency evidently referred to the case of the two dismissed Orange Magistrates who stood before hint. RAILWAYS IN IRELAND. The Cork Reporter publishes a correspondence be tween the Lord Lieutenant's private Secretary and Mr. Dillon Croker, the Secretary of the Cork Railway Com mittee, relative to the presentation of a memorial con nected with the establishment of railway communication in Ireland, from which it is evident, says that Journal, that " Government has no intention whatever of taking up the project of railways in Ireland as a great public measure." DISMISSAL OF THE STIPENDIARY MAGIS TRATES. The Government is getting on by degrees. The sti pendiary Magistrates are to be got rid of in batches of five. The Evening Packet of last night announces that the five following have received their death-warrants : Theobald A. Dillon, Esq., Kenmare ; Hugh Grey, Esq., of Manorhamilton ; Benjamin H o l mes , E sq ., Bruff ; Pa trick C. Howley, Esq., Longford ; John Veevers, Esq., Templemore. OUTRAGES IN THE COUNTY OF DOWN.— MURDERS. DUBLIN, DEC. 11.—Still the Dublin Gazette, which was again published last night, is silent respecting the insurrectionary outrages, and the firing at. magistrates in the county of Down. But the Gazette contains various proclamations, including two rewards respecting mur ders, one committed in Tipperary, and the other in Drog heda, on the night of the 7th inst. The victim in the latter case was Peter Dolan, a huckster, who, it is stated, " was barbarously murdered by some person or persons unknown, in his dwelling-house." But although Lord De Grey and Lori Eliot appear to have disregarded the outbreak in the Protestant and Presbyterian county of Down, they show exceeding zeal respecting an outrage committed more than a year ago in the King's county, and for the discovery of the perpe trators of which rewards have long since been offered by the Government, as well as the local Magistracy. This is the case of Mr. Biddalph, a Magistrate, who had been fired at on the morning of the 24th of September, 1840. In the Gazette of last night the Lord Lieutenant offers a reward of 200 i. for the apprehension and conviction of the persons concerned in this outrage. JUDGE LEFROY. The Gazette of last night notifies the appointment of Mr. Lefroy—whom the Duke of Northumberland refused to appoint as a temporary Judge—as the Junior Baron of the Exchequer, in place of Baron Foster, who has been pitch-forked into the Common Pleas. THE LORD CHANCELLOR OF IRELAND. Sir Edward Sugden will leave Dublin on Tuesday, for London ; his return is not expected. No doubt he is an able lawyer, and a first-rate equity judge. With his domestic difficulties we have nothing to do ; but report has it that some objection stands in the way of Lady Sug den at the next drawing-room. Lord Eliot gave an en tertainment at the Phoenix Park, and Lady Sugden was present. This circumstance begot observation, and the result, we apprehend, has had some connection with the present movement. It may be that a manoeuvre is on the tupis to place Chief Justice Pennefather is the court of Chancery, and Blackburne and West on the french. If such be the ease, the promotion of Jackson and Litton will, as a matter of course, follow.— Waterford Chronicle. MEETING AT ISLINGTON• 7'o ?'HE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SIR S I perceive by your report of Thursday even ing's meeting, that you did not wait the • conclusion of the proceedings. I shall, therefore, be obliged if you will give publicity to what transpired after the Rev. Chairman vacated the chair. When he and the rest of the Tory clique had left, a portion of the meeting followed their example, and others were about to do the same, but were stopped by loud cries from the platform of " Come back, come back." On returning, we found that a Chairman (a working man) had been appointed to conclude the business which the' former one had so disgracefully omitted to do. It was proposed that the address should be presented to her Majesty by the Members for the Borough, Messrs. Dun combe and Walley. This was seconded. An amend ment was then proposed, that Mr. Wakley's name should be left out of the motion • for, said th e s p ea k er , " h e i s not our Member, he truckles too much to Sir Robert Peel." It was ultimately agreed to that it should be pre sented by both Members. Scarcely had this been done, when the beadle made his appearance, and demanded the candlesticks, and immediately blew out the lights. This was the signal for an immediate rush to the doors, and thus ended this extraordinary evening's transactions. I think, Sir, that this insult to the parishioners should not-pass by unnoticed, but should be highly reprobated by the press and the public generally. It will teach the working classes (of whom the majority of this meeting was composed) one fact, however, that they have little good to expect from the parish functionaries, who fatten on the produce of their toil. _ _ Mr. ftamsden, in the course of his speech, said, that if a meeting were called for the purpose of g i v i ng re li e f t o the destitute poor of this parish, he would gladly co-ope rate with any one for the promotion of such a praise worthy and Christian object. I should, therefore, sug gest, Sir, that you use the powerful influence possessed by your invaluable Paper to get up such a meeting, for that distress does exist to a dreadful extent is indisput able--one poor woman having died from starvation only last week in this parish ; and there are many others who have the awful forebodings that a similar fate will termi nate their sufferings, unless something be done to supply their immediate necessities.—l remain, Sir, your obedient servant, A PARISHIONER OF ISLINGTON. Dec. 10, 1841. DEATII OF Mu. JOHN SYDNEY TAYLOR, TEE BA MUSTER. —We deeply regret to have to announce the death of Mr. John Sydney Taylor, barrister-at-law, which took place on Friday morning at his house in Chancery-lane. Mr. Taylor had been ill for several months, and underwent repeated surgical operations of a very painful nature. He bore his sufferings with great fortitude, and with profound resignation to the Divine will. Mr. Taylor, who was a native of Donny brook, greatly distinguished himself at Trinity College, Dublin, where he took the degree of M.A. Soon after completing his education he came to London, where he obtained an engagement as Parliamentary Reporter on the Morning Chronicle. After remainins , some years on that establishment, he was employed by the late Mr. Thwaites, principal proprietor and editor of the Morning Herald, to write leading articles for the latter journal, which he continued to do until within a few months of his death. Nearly all the articles which have appeared in the _Herald during the last fourteen years, in favour of an amelioration of our criminal code, and for the abolition of capital punishments, proceeded, we believe, from Mr. Taylor's pen. A collection of these was made six or seven years ago, and published in two volumes, at the expanse of the " Society for the Diffu sion of information on the Subject of Capital Punish ments." Mr. Taylor was a man of highly-cultivated li terary taste. He was also exceedingly fond of poetry, and has written various small poetic pieces possessed of considerable merit, though he never put his name to -- any of them. Everything that proceeded from his pen was pervaded by a spirit of humanity and benevolence. his metropolitan practice in the Courts of Law was limited, but in the Norfolk Circuit, which he regularly travelled, he was rapidly rising into distinction, and was beginning to obtain a large and lucrative business. He possessed su perior talents as a forensic speaker; and often displayed ()Teat ingenuity in his cross-examination of witnesses. He was a mail of very kindly and generous disp os iti on, though somewhat reserved in his manner. He has left a widow, but no children. He was in the 45th year of his age.—Observer.—[Every one who knew Mr. Sydney Taylor must concur in this tribute of respect to his memory. He was an accomplished scholar, and a man of the most amiable disposition. In all his writings he proved that his great object was to improve the condition of mankind and, above all, , to mitigate the cruelti es o f slavery and the severity of the criminal law. Perhaps no man of the present day has been more influential in the abolition or mitigation of punishment ; and though his philanthropy at times might carry him further than the ideas of the age or even sound discretion would justify, he must have been consoled at the hour of death with the reflection, that his failings were always on the side of humanity and mercy to his fellow creatures. His exertions in this sacred cause are not generally known to the public ; but, among those who were e ngago d i n the same pursu i t, hi s death will be felt at the present time as an irreparable loss.--En.
