IT'STORY of the GREAT REFORMA TION of the SIXTEENTH CENTURY, in GER MANY,ISWITZERLAND, FRANCE, &c. By J. H. MERLE D'AUBIGNE. " The work opens with a graphic account of the tondition of Christianity at the beginning of the sixteenth century. We behold the manner in which truth long lost or obscured was recovered from the pages of the Bible, and learn the ways of that Providence which brought forth into liberty those who had long laboured in that desire to justify themselves, which is ever the spring of distress of heart.' " " No foreign tongue," says the Edinburgh Review, "con tains so complete and impressive a narrative of these events. The author has all our lamented countryman's (Dr. M'Crie) sincerity. all his research, more skill in composition, and a greater mastery of subordinate details, along with the same faculty of carrying on his story from one stage to another with an interest which never subsides, and a vivacity which knows no intermission."

Ihe book, as has been already stt.ted ) is the result of very ample and daily increasing experience in class of diseases, which, for some unaccountable reason, hare b'e'en either altogether overlooked, or treated ihnost ukitli Mader ence, by the ordinary medical pradatiener. The proverbial and well known rapacity if thipialificd 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 pernitioAs 4fecti sure to result from the practic es o f s u c h OettAidels, the authors have for a considerable time &Voted theitSelves ex clusively to a certain class of iliteatias 1 of the necessity of se doing, they were further is minced by feeling that tact in in vestigating the latent Sources of many diseases, which arise from certain *met praetices, can only be acquired by an ex clusive and undivided attendee to this department of medical practice. The numberless instances daily mewling-, vvherain affections of the lungs, putting on all the octet appearances of consumption, which, however, when traced to their source, are found to result from certain batreefill practices, fully proves that the principle of the division of labour, is nowhere more applicable than in medioal practice. We 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. 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 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, tabes, &c., the sole and exclusive origin has been the indulgence in certain destructive habits practised by ' youth much 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 the two-fold relation of parent and instructor, will here be directed as to the nature of those habits to which youth is addicted ; he will also be enabled to point out the dis astrous consequences which are sure to follow from them if not relinquished.

MONEY MARKET and 07. %.ITY NEWS. FROM THE MORNING PAPERS THIS DAY. CHRONICLE.—The innocei it holders of the spurious Exchequer bills have in )t received much consolation from theannouncernt ;nt. that a Royal Commission is to be issued to inquire into so much of the manner in which thE fraud of Smith and Rapallo was perpetrated as may elicit infor mation tending to secure the put the against simi lar frauds in future. The inq airy which the bona fide holders of the ; spurious paper call for is into their own perfect hon.c.:sty, an d into the entire freedom from suspicion with - whic; i : they lent their money on the bills deposited; i nt o the perfect impossibility also of their boiL a ble to distin guish genuine from fictitious. Th e test of the counterfoils, resorted to by the i F xcl iequer,shows that the public could not possibly d etect the spu. rious,paper, and .that the Gover. 1111 E :nt adopted a methoLl ofdeciding on that point t .ota tly apart from the signatures. If, however, ti: Le d isposal of the bills impounded at the Exchec nwv,, to wait the directions of the Lords of the T rea '...4ury, is to be referred by their Lordships f;m• the consideration of Parliament, and the claims of ti holders to full compensation thus kept open and entire, they could have no particular object ion to an in quiry of the special character is r co urse of pre paration. That inquiry, indeed,m ty be a very proper one with the view of enabli 'lig' the Govern ment to re-model the Exchequ et bill depart ment, and to decide upon the bes t ;plan of issue and management for the future. . In that light the prospective character of the 1 iroposed official inquiry seems likely to be product lye of beneficial results. But if the inquiry pos: toss not ample retrospective powers—if its funs 'lions shall be restricted to protection for the future, and do not go to the very root of 11 at extensive fraud which has been committee it i the past, it cannot meet the exigences 0: f the case. It is, indeed, difficult to conceive .hc 'w the mem bers of any court of inquiry that: :an be issued to inquire into the means for the future preven tion of fraud can avoid directing t 11 , eir attention, in the first place, into the whole facts and cir cumstances connected with the p; a;t commission of it. The very guarded mature: r, however, in which the subject is introduced tt ) public notice has excited suspicion that the phi a of fixture in quiry has been resolved upon to o .ct as a blind against investigation of what has lately taken place. If the Commissioners, honvt :ver, extend their inquiries into the way in v Thich Smith passed the bills to Rap.allo, and ho w the latter conducted his operations in order tc make them the means of raising money, tin the channel would be entered that, if followed ou t and traced through all its branches, turnings, and windings, • cou. Id not fail of eliciting the t ruth. Let full inquiry' be instituted, so as lo bring ,the whole ',truth to light, and Ita.tm, but not then, the public will be satris fled.

There are three sepa rate points involved:-Ist. Compensati©n to the innocent holders; 2d. Discovery and punishment of all the confederates of Smith and Rapallo; and idly. Protection against similar frauds in future. The Government, by their expected commission, appear to have begun at the wrong end, by taking up the third point before settling the first and second. We doubt much, however, whether they can arrive at any satisfactory opi nion on the third point, without instituting such inquiry as must throw great light upon the se cond ; and by doing so clearly establish the jus tice of the first. No Jury would give a verdict in favour of the Crown against the holders, on the plea of forgery, as tested by the counter foils. Such a plea, we imagine, is totally un known in our 'law courts as sufficient to establish forgery. The Government officers declared a large portion of the unfunded bills to be genuine, when they compared them with reference to their whole ex facie appearance. Printing, plate, numbers, seals, signatures, and all were admitted to be unexceptionable, and it was only on second thoughts and after such admissions, that by the mechanical process of testing by the counterfoils they came to the conclusion of changing their opinions and pronouncing those instruments to be forged which they previously declared to be genuine. HERALD.—The article in this morning's He rald about the Exchequer-bill business has made quite a sensation, and the remarks are in every body's mouth. An Evening paper, however, ob serves that the Herald should now speak out about " the names" of the parties implicated. Our Contemporary is too insidious. But in fact, if speaking out is to be the order of the day, there is another Morning Paper which should be the first to speak out, as it was the first to al lude to " two Noble Lords" implicated by report in the bill transactions, before the rumour, although known for days before, was noticed un this head, and a Marquis and Viscount noticed by title as the parties pointed at. It is right to notice that a meeting of the Com mittee of the Stock Exchange was held to-day, and lasted a considerable time. It is understood that the subject of discussion was this Exche quer bill affair, with a view to afford all the in formation possible for unravelling its compli cated frauds to the commission said to be ap pointed for the purpose of investigation by the Government. TIMES.—From facts that have recently trans pired, it appears that the failure of Mr. Howe, of the Stock Exchange, which was announced in October, was occasioned by an order from a party in Calais to make operations in Spanish Stock. • • nrincipal it seems did not come forward in therefore Mr. Howe was left Ha - -ces, which were very large. -sed at the non-appear -,..counts" usually - re usually the Tint flue time, i— biv fur the dilYert— - - germ 611fpri*e 18 expru.... Agee of the annual "finance faidiiefore Parliament, and which published d few weeks after the close 0. session. That there ftillOt have been some con fusion in the department of the late Chancellor of the Exchequer, through the time 01 which the Ministry to which he belonged broke tip, and difficulty in the adoption by his successor of such accounts as he had to hand over to him, may be readily imagined as a cause for 'some delay, but cannot account for so long a procras tination. The hope, therefore, is that the time has been spent in reforming or altering the plan of those accounts, without which they cannot be or much use to members of Parliament, or repay the trouble crf investigating such a mass of figures. The premium on gold at Paris is 6 per mille, which, at the English Mint price of 31. 17s. 101 d. per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 25. 30, and the exchange at Paris on London at short being 25. 471, it follows that gold is 0.70 per cent dearer in London than in Paris. By advices from Hamburgh the price of gold is 42g per mark, which, at the English Mint price of 31.175. 101 d. per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 13.61, and the exchange at Hamburgh on London at short being 13. 8, it follows that gold is 0. 69 per cent. dearer in Lon don than in Hamburgh. The course of exchange at New York on Lon don is 1091 per cent., and the par of exchange between England and America being 109 23-40 per cent., it follows that the exchange is O. 18 per cent. in favour of England. But the quoted exchange at New York, being for bills at 60 days' sight, the interest must be added to the above difference. SUN. —The Funds were to-day somewhat flatter, and sales of about 50,0001. stock by the Bank broker and others, in addition to minor parcels, led to a slight re duction in prices. Consols, for Money, have been marked 89i, and for the Account 88k to 89, at which they closed. Exchequer Bills were 12s. to 10s. pre mium, and East India Bonds ls. to 2s. premium. Bank Stock was worth 165 k ; the Reduced Three -and-a-Half per Cents. brought 98i to 99 ; and the Three per Cents. 88i to 891. All the Foreign Bonds were dull. Brazil Stock was done at an improvement to 641 ; Spanish Active Bonds i; w ere at 231 to 23 i ; Portuguese, New, at 23 Mexican at 26; and Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. at 52 to 51i Sh ar es were not so brisk to-dal.

A PRINdE Waitota A SKIN.--Though the fact is sufficiently remarkable, we should think, to com mand general notices few, if any, modern historians mention that we had once a Prince of Wales who was born absolutely skinless. There exists, however, an his torical volume, very scarce, and therefore very valuable, published in 1553, on Magna Charts and the Statutes, a carefully arranged and authentic work, which mentions the circumstance. It is written in French and Latin, and under the head of Nonzina Re gan; et corm coronatio, announces a list of the Kings " who , from the time of Saint Edward King of England, bad reigned, down to the Most Serene King and Queen Philip and Mary." A series of brief notices of births, coronations, and deaths follows. That to which we particularly direct attention runs thus : " Ricardus 11., filius Ed.

MANCHESTER, MONDAY.—One of the most destruc tive fires broke out this morning which has been known in Manchester for many years, the flames spreading with such rapidity that within a few hours after the fire was discovered, damage estimated at more than 30,000/. was done. The building destroyed is a warehouse situated in Piccadilly, near the heart of Manchester, and was occu pied by Messrs. Patchett and Jones, who have for some years carried on business under the style of " The Union Carrying Company." Messrs. Patchett and Jones were canal carriers, and the warehouse which was originally built by them, but had been recently sold to Lord Fran cis Egerton for 11,000/. was erected, for the convenience of their business, over the Rochdale Canal. The premises were discovered to be on fire about twenty minutes past twelve o'clock by come persons casually pass ing, who observed smoke issuing from that part of the warehouse situate immediately over the Rochdale Canal, and the alarm being given information was transmitted by the police, and through several other different channels at the same time, to the superintendent of the fire police. That gentleman displayed his usual acti vity, and was on the spot with his first engine in about twenty minutes after the alarm was first given, and four other engines followed in quick succession. The supply of water both from plugs in the street and the canal was good, and the engines were brought into play in an incredibly short space of time. Short as the time lost had been, however, it was too great to leave a chance of saving the property. The goods in the warehouse, which were of immense quantity, and supposed to exceed 20,000/. in value, were of an extremely combustible na ture, consisting principally of cotton, corn, and groceries, and the flames having, it is supposed, got well hold of the cotton, which was in the lower part of the building, when the fire was first. discovered, spread with a rapi dity almost unprecedented. The whole building was wrapped in flames by the time the engines got into play; and under these circumstances the exertions of the fire men were directed to saving the surrounding property. In a few hours from the first discovery of the fire the whole of this large pile of warehousing was a heap of ruins. The eastern gable, in falling, carried away some portion of the roof of Mr. Gibbon's warehouse, on the opposite side of Auburn-street, and otherwise damaged that pro perty to the' amount of nearly 300/. The shop of Mr. Brown, and the warehouse of Mr. Occleston. on the opposite side of Piccadily, were several times on fire, and received considerable damage also. The stock of Mr. Holmes, commission-agent, and that of Mr. Hawks worth, saddler, were totally destroyed ; the latter not being insured. The amount of loss has notbeen ascertained. The value of property destroyed in the warehouse of Messrs. Patchett and Jones, we have already stated as estimated at over 20,0001. Whether it was insured we have not heard, but there is reason to believe not, as the property consisted of goods consigned to them merely for carriage, on the understanding that all risk was on the part of the consignees. The origin of the fire is not known with certainty, but we have already stated that the warehouse is built over the Rochdale Canal, and in this tunnel was lying a boat load of cotton. Here, it is most probable, the fire com menced, as the boat was discovered to be on fire at the time the alarm was first given. The captain of the boat his wife, and son, were all sleeping on board. and were 4 ^oused by the clamour i n the ,streets adjoinin g . All .; on being made sen s ibl e of their - danger, jumped, almost h.• a state of n u di ty , i nto the canal, and were got ashore. 21), captain was severe l y b urnt while in the of floating woo l w hi ch was on , water, by a. qua._ rity fire, and no dangerou s s t ate at our i nfirmary. The ruins of va I have ch o k e d up t h e cana l , now i N n rehout:. and its navigation will conseqbx,:ntly be impeded by it, probably for several days. ANOTHER ACCOIMT. An alarm of fire was given between twelve and one o'clock this morning (Monday), which proved to be at the Union Carriers' Warehouse, Piccadilly, Manches ter, and the building, 36 yards by 18, and eight stories in height, is reduced to a heap of ruins, with the valuable contents therein, and not a vestige of anything saved. The building was the property of Lord Francis Egerton. and said to be insured. The building is understood to have been completely filled, chiefly with cotton, sugar, wheat and flour. The estimated loss is 50,0001. besides the building. There are but few of the owners of the I cotton, &c., who are said to be insured, so that the loss will be a total one to all who were so unfortunate as to have had property within the building. This makes the seventh or eighth fire that has taken place in Manchester in the last three or four weeks, most of which have in volved the loss of property to a serious amount. In such danger was a boatman, with his wife and son, from being literally burnt, that they all jumped into the canal, and by great exertions were saved. A part of the man's shirt was burnt on his back, and he was so much injured as to be taken to the Infirmary. MURDER 1N SHROPSHIRE. On Thursday evening, about seven o'clock, the body of Emma Evans, an old maiden shopkeeper, was found lying dead upon the middle of her kitchen floor, in a stream of blood, with her pocket turned inside out, her house door wide open, her shop robbed of various arti cles, her parlour cupboard robbed of all her silver spoons, and her bedroom chest of drawers broken open, and the contents lying in confusion on the floor. The poor woman lived at a retired spot called Brook side, about a mile and a half from the village of Chirk, and five miles from Oswestry, in Shropshire, and had lived for years in the same house, without any other inmate, carrying on the business of a small grocer and draper, and general provision dealer. She was supposed to have saved considerable money, which she kept in her house, and no doubt the murderers expected to meet with a prize of great value. Her house is surrounded by numerous cottages at short distances, but is not within 100 yards of any other dwelling. On the same evening three men were seen walking quickly along the road from her house towards Chirk Castle Park, which is not half a mile off ; at five o'clock, three men were met in the park walking towards the road leading to her house. The description of the men agrees. About nine o'clock two men walked into the King's Head public-house at the Cefn, in Rhuabon parish; and took some refreshment. While the men were in the house the landlady discovered a large bundle in the back kitchen, which one of the men claimed on being asked whether it belonged to either of them. The son of the landlady, 'William Bradley, knew the two men by name and character. On leaving the public-house, at ten o'clock, the two men set out on the road to Wrexham. Bradley obtained the assistance of his wife's brother, who is . a powerful young man, and in five minutes after their de . parture set out in pursuit, with the intention of taking pos session of he bundle. They overtook the men about a mile and a half from Rhuabon, and on claiming the bundle, both men ran away with all possible speed, the bundle being instantly dropped on the ground. Bradley re turned home with the bundle, and on the following --, orning the contents were clearly identified as being the •tv of the murdered woman. prope... , es the two men are John Williams an d The nal._ of ph siaws o, the one a horse-breaker, and the other a .Jose unremitting in their exertions, th ,:sv had not been apprehended. in which it was found, tva Til l°r' e police have Lee': but up to Sunday evenino• The body still Ilev iw posittO the Magistrates not allowing it to bb tritiched before the inquest, which cannot be held before MonJaY morning. THE EXPEDITION TO CHINA. --- --- On Monday morning, at seven o'clock, the three ships appointed to carry out troops to China sailed from Ply mouth with a fair wind. The Belleisle conveys Major- General Lord Saltoun, with his staff ; Capt. Hope Grant, 9th Lancers, as Brigade-Major; and Capt. Cunynghame, ad Buffs, late of the 60th Rifles, as Aide-de-c amp ; and the 98th regiment, commanded by Colonel Campbell, and a detachment of artillery. Detachments of the 49th, and some smaller detachments, go by the Apollo and the Sapphire. The troops on board the Apollo are under the command of Colonel Bartley, of the 49th, and those in the Sapphire, of Major Pasley, of the same regiment. The artillery are under the orders of Capt. Greenwood. Mr. Rosdew Little, of the Madras Artillery, who bas already . been in China, has a passage on board the Bel leisle ; and a young son of Mr. F. Grant, the celebrated painter, goes out in the same ship as a first-class volunteer. The Hon. Wm. Fraser, only brother of .Gallant Lord Sal toun, remained a t Plymouth with the Noble an a Lord until th e sa ili ng of the expedition, and then re turned to town on hi s way to t h e Hnd s MARRIAGE OF P RI NCE NICHOLAS ESTER HAZIE AND LADY SARAH VILLIERS.-1t is now defini tively arranged that the long-expected nuptials of his Highness Prince Nicholas Esterhazy, eldest Excellency Prince Esterhazy, .Ambassador at the British Court from the Emperor of Austria, an daughter Sarah Villiers, the lovely and accomplishedof the Earl and Countess of Jersey, are to be solemnised on Saturday week, the Ist of January. The marriage is to be as private as possible, in consequence of the recent demise of the venerable Earl of Westmoreland, the maternal grandfather of the fair betrothed. His Excel lency Prince Esterhazy is, notwith the standing reports for his to the con trary, likely to be present at ceremony, Highness was to leave Vienna for this country at the close of the past week, and it is expected will arrive at Chandos House, the Austrian Embassy, by Monday or Tuesday next.

Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Cambridge has also presented her Ladyship with a diamond aigrette. ,NING SUN. p r i t ohoiuerns :actsns atoerult f dition, roextending statement ro2,ar etn may e s : o c e fb NIGER EXPEDITION. drrived le r to e ht e ge r ia i tvhieifedgrhoefecrcottoal October, as a est s hi E tete x il f.s l l mar be relied on as the most accurate that hasc ch ar a c ter , appeared. The The Albert, Wilberforce, and Soudan a : with the Ilar riot transport, and Amelia tender, after a favourable though somewhat tedious voyage, arrived oft' the Nun on the 9th and 10th of August. In unloadin g the transisert they were detain e d a cons id erable time, o wino- to the heavy rolling of the vessels in the swell outside the bar A further detention arose when they had crossed the bar from the necessity of refitting the tails of the rud ders, which had been carried away on the passage from Cape Coast, and without which the vessels were almost unmanageable. These repairs the badness of the wea ther and strength of the tide did not permit of being com pleted till the 20th. This necessary delay does not, however, appear to have positively injured the health of the crews, as they enjoyed a wholesome sea-breeze, and every precaution was taken to preserve them from illness. Up to this period there had been seven deaths--four from casualties, one of apoplexy, and two of fever, not African, but typhus. Of these last one only was an European. Under these favourable auspices they commenced their ascent of the river on the 20:11 of August (not the 13th, as has been erroneously stated). Their progress was necessarily slow, as they do not ordinarily make more than six miles an hour, and the current runs at the rate of three. They were delayed still further by looking for the Wilberforce, which had gone up a different channel. Thus the 22d (Sunday) was spent, and at last it was found that she had gone ahead. They rejoined at Eboe on the 26th. This deviation was, however, the means of discovering a new branch of the river, with numerous villages, and a larger population than had yet been seen. Six days after they arrived at Iddah, when the fever broke out, and continued to the Confluence (272 miles up) with increased violence. The following is a list of the number of persons on board the expedition, from Sept. 3-17, with other par ticulars, according to returns sent home :—Victualled in the three vessels and Amelia, total number of persons, including officers and crew, 302. Placed on fever list since Sept. 3, 70 ; died, 8 ; discharged to duty, 2 ; coiz valescent, 11. In consequence of this alarming sickness, and their in ability to examine the higher grounds for a healthy 'sta tion, it was deemed advisable to send the sick to the sea side. Forty-three of the forty-nine remaining oases were accordigly embarked in the Soudan on the 19th, and reached the mouth early on the 22d. On their way they lost two hopeless cases, Mr. W. B. Marshall, sur geon of the Soudan, and one of her men. They were fortunate enough to fall in at once with her Majesty's ship Dolphin, Commander Littlehales, by whom they were taken on board, except two, and carried to Ascen sion. On their way eight more died, but the rest reco vered in a most sudden and striking manner. Assistant-surgeon Stirling, who came home in charge of the invalids, has since returned to the Niger, and several medical men have volunteered to supply the place of the two that were lost, and the number of whites who have died of African fever. The following returns show the entire mortality from the first setting out, and the number of whites who have died of African fever :-3 officers, 14 white seamen, 3 marines—total 20 ; and the number of deaths from all causes was as follows :-3 officers, 19 seamen, 3 marines, and 2 coloured men. It appears, then, that of the entire number of whites, one-eighth have perished by this dreadful disease ; of the officers, one-seventeenth ; and of the men about one sixth. The scientific men attached to the expedition have suffered very slightly, and the Rev. Messrs. Muller and Scholl not at all. This loss is certainly much less than that of former expeditions. Park's whole retinue was annihilated. Captain Tuckey, in 1816, died with nearly one-half of his officers and crew, and all the scientific men, with a single exception. Captain Owen lost nearly two-thirds, and Laird, by the time he had arrived at the Confluence, had buried half his white crew, and more than half his officers. This latter gentleman, in a letter to the Spectator (December 18), gives it as his decided opinion that the fever was less malignant in this case than in his own, that they have " passed through their greatest danger with much less loss than any reasonable man an ticipated,"arul that those who have escaped are not likely to be attacked again, unless by returning to the swamps. This opinion, given with a frankness which does honour, combined with the confirmation which they give of the healthiness of the coun try above the Delta, goes far to remove the natural fears for their future safety. The expedition, far from being given up, is going steadily on. Treaties have been concluded with Obi of 14.;b0e, and Attah of Egctrrah, for the entire abolition of the slave trade and of human sacrifices. Of the conduct and deportment of both these Princes the Commissioners speak very highly. A tract of ground, 16 miles in length, and 6 in width, dry and elevated, and including a mountain of 1,200 feet in height, has been purchased, and the Model Farm put in active operation. The country is represe nte d as f u ll y open for missionary or other enterprise, and the natives perfectly peaceable and friendly. One of the steamers may de scend for the winter, for the purpose of surveying the various outlets, but all are expected to join in pursu,ng their mission up the river next spring. As the Alb ert was on the point of ascending the Niger, and the Wilber force the Chadda, when the last accounts left, we may perhaps shortly hear of various important interesting discoveries up these rivers. NEW MUSKET FOR THE SERVICE. ) The musket that Colonel Hawker has suggested to the Ordnance (subjected to a sercre trial, which has been begun, and will continue through the winter months) is the most simple and the most waterproof that has vet been in use. He has availed himself of that clever in vention, called the patent spring -musket (without a lock) of Wilkinson, and shortened the communication, by doing away with the chimney, and cutting deeper the concave under the stock; so that the stud of the nipple now screws directly into the under part of the barrel ; and, by taking Westley Richards's hermetically sealed primer, he gets rid also of the distance which is taken up in firing down the orifice of a copper cap nipple. The great advantages of these combinations are, that the detonating flame fires directly into the body of the charge, so that the soldier may use (and even without biting oil' the end of his cartridge) the coarsest cannon-powder, which stands all weathers, and which, Colonel Hawker has proved, shoots much stronger, and kerns its strength much longer than fine powder, and he gets rid altogether of the copper-cap; which, like the fine powder required for them, he never, he says, could depend on in sea-coast shooting and all other continual damp, although they answer extremely well for the "flood and field " sportsman, and may even weather an occa sional wet day. With regard to the stocks, he Says, in page 323 of his Bth edition On Guns and Shooting, —" If strength and consequent cheapness require them to be so straight that I defy a man to shoot with them—put some elevation (similar to . that on . a rifle), instead of obliging the soldier . to incline his head o h l a - e s r, ad b d ey ed ond to the rhe trsuweeklinoet. theof Co lonelarnimus.ketTha.eowol trial, a little knob of wood, merely . put . on . with one screw, and similar to a pistol-grip, which gives great steadiness in firing, and a firm hold for the soldie r if au enemy were attempting to disarm slope a S r h m o s u , l ” d th t e h r i e being this musket be adopted the motion of "support arms" wo u ld require to et b m e k su o p r er h s a e l d n e m d er by to that.it. But o this would b e - an f o advantage rather than an objection, as one motion less would be called for, thus saving the jackets of the men from being soiled by damp hands, or w hi tened by pipe cloyed gloves. Westley Richards has also a new patent musket coming . out, which he anti c ip ates will beat all others ; and, if so, Colonel Hawk er , w h o is to receive one for trial, will not, we are sure, hesitate to give it a preference, having no interest in either, beyond his desire to benefit her Majesty's service. —United Service Gazette . e followin DISTRESS IN OS WALDTWISLE. SIR R. 'i Conditio n PEEL'S distressed Deputies, at statement respecting of about 6 50 parish of,the in habitants ' of Oswald twistle_forwarded to the meeting of the Corn-law Manchester, on Thursday last :—Oswalci twisle in the in the of Whalley, contains a population , 0 ; the dwellings of the working classes township have been visited within the last few days, and the following is the melancholy result of the in quiries. There are, in the township, 1,171 individuals, constituting 248 families, whose average weekly earn ings is only Is. 34d. No account was taken of any family, the members of which earned individually 2s. per week, but a very great number were said to only just exceed that limitation. The general destitution of the population is truly pitiable; in some cases the visitors found only one bed, and that of the blanket humblest materials, for 10 persons, wit hout a particle of ,or anything to warm the wretched occupants save their scanty wear ing apparel, and in many instances five and six had to oc cupy the same bed, with nothing to throw over them. The visitors have had their feelings so shocked by the sights of misary they have been called upon to witness, that they have expressed their hope that this township is sur ely without a parallel for its sufferings, and yet there appears not the least prospect of amendment, but on the contrary a gloomy anticipation that the worst has not yet come, and that even the small pittance doled out to keep them from absolute starvation, will be, during the ensuing bitte r months of winter, still further reduced- .
