HISTORY of the GRE REI ORMA - TION of the SIXTEENTH CENTURY, in GER MANY,SSWITZERL AND, FRANCE, &c. By J. H. MERLE D'AUBIGNE. " The work opens with a graphic account of the zondition 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 se 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."

This Work, a Seventh Edition of which is now presented to the public, ten thousand copies have been exhausted since its first appearance, has been very much improved and enlarged by the addition of a more extended and clear detail of general principles, as also by the insertion of several new and highly in teresting cases. The book, as has been already stated, is the result of very ample and daily increasing experience in a class of diseases, which, for some unaccountable reason, have been either altogether overlooked, or treated almost with indiffer ence, by the ordinary medical practitioner. The proverbial and well known rapacity of unqualified practitioners, who traffic on the health and credulity of patients, has been en couraged and aroused by this supineness, on the part of the regular surgeon. In order to obviate the pernicious effects sure to result from the practices of such pretenders, the authors have for 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 praetices, 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 consumption, 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 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 &c what h is called an p d eulmxconary consumptihas on, heart disease, tape s, exclusive origin been the indulgence in certain destructive habits practised by youth much more frequently than it is at holds all suspect ed orarily at The PRECEPTOR, also, who (temp 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 throug h 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.

CURES EFFECTED BY PARR'S LIFE PILLS.—The following are selected from hosts of other Cures, and must prove that PARR'S LIFE PILLS are all that are required to eradicate disease, however aggravated the ease may appear, and to prolong life, free from every ailment, to the latest period of existence : FROM MR. NOBLE, HULL. " Mr. Plaxton, of Cottingham, five miles from Hull, has long been afflicted with a most severe internal disease. So dreadful were the paroxysms that he frequently expected death was at hand to release him from his sufferirgs. For a great length of time he had been unable to sit down at all, even be ing compelled to stand at his meals. His next door neighbour having heard of the virtues and unprecedented success of Parr's Life Pills, purchased a small box for him, and on his calling for a second box, he told me that such had been the astonish ing effects produced by one box that he was able to sit down, and on taking two other boxes his pains have left him ; his ap petite is good, and he is able to follow his vocation nearly as well as he ever did in his life." " Mrs. Shaw, wife of Mr. Shaw, yeast dealer, had been a great length of time afflicted with a severe internal disease. To use his own expre sion, paying doctors for her had beg lared him,' so that at last he was compelled to send her t o the nfirmary ; there she received no permanent benefit. Having heard of Parr'a Life Pills, he purchased a small box; she be gan to mend immediately on taking them, and two more boxes have cured her. She is now as well as she ever was in herflife." " Airs. Stevenson, of Cottingham, five miles from Hull, has been severely afflicted with a bad leg for mole than ten years, and during that period has tried all kinds of medicines, but without any permanent relief. After taking four small boxes of Parr's Life Pills, she is able to go about her day's business in a manner which for comfort has been unknown to her for above ten years.

SIR,—I proceed to fillow up th e su bj ect o f my letter in your paper of Tuesday evening, D e c. 14. In settling the form in which compensation for the manufacturing and commercial interests ought to be demanded from the landowners, the object is not to determine what would be the snuggest, cosiest, and on the whole the most politic mode, if -an Act of Parliament entitled " An Act for Retribution on the Landed Inte rest" were sent down to us from the Lords, with blanks which we were invited to fill up according to our own choice and judgment of what we should like best. This would be the error of the Chartists, who say " What would be so comfort .able as the Charter? . Therefore let us go for it and nothing else." But it is to determine what is the form of demand, which carries with it the greatest probability of practical effect; the effect being after all, to a considerable extent, like that produced by the artilleryman, when he points his gun to a given star, less with the expectation of hitting it, than of hitting something else which he has set his heart upon demolishing. When the proposal is made to tax the land owners twenty millions a-year, it may be the justest thing in the world, but people do not see it to be so. It may be the most exact measure of retributim, weighed out to an ounce in the nicest sca es of political economy, but it does not ca: ry the proof and evidence upon its face. The argument also by which it has been accom panied—that it Would still leave the landowners the richest in Europe—is of an unfortunate com plexion. It is the counterpart of the argument which states, that because Mr. Strutt rides in a carriage, and Mr. Evans is understood to give claret, it is clear they have not been robbed more than they ought to be. It is, in fact, an ar gument for a Prime Minister. The demand for a bounty on foreign corn, in duration and magnitude equal to the past duties, bears, on the contrary, the justice of its own dimensions on the face of it. It is as difficult to object to on the sore of justice, as levying a simple restoration from a thief. Another objection to the proposal for levying twenty millions a-year by a land-tax, is that the payment of a land-tax (notwithstanding what has been lately done by Mr. Scott upon the question, which, however powerful, cannot have had the effect of removing all prejudices from all minds) is one of the Atrouenilds of the land ! owners, rather than what they count a weakness. It would, therebre, be running directly upon what they consider as their point of strength. " We are paying one land-tax already," would be their answer, "and you econe to tell us we ought to pay another. We think the public, in debt to us for what we do, and you choose this for an argument why our mrdens should be in creased." There is no use in saying this defence cannot resist the examination of a searching and impartial mind. The question is not of whether an enemy's defence ought to be effective, but whether it will be. If the landowners object that a bounty on foreign corn is not, per se, in the first style of political economy, but i s to a certain extent a throwing away. of th e natural resources o f a country on the same p r i nc i ples as a duty, one answer is, that whenever the landowners shall propose to remove this damage to the community by offering a commutat ion into a tax on lan d or rent s there is no doubt th at fa i r terms wou ld b e accepted, or even that s omething would b e d one towards meeting them, in the way of allowing them a favourable bargain.. B u t the offer must come from the landowners. But another answer is, that it may be main tained with great appearance of justice and of ultimate success, that a bounty of the nature and character described, though in one direction uneconomical or a source.of national loss, would more than compensate for it in another direction, by the tendency it would have to recover such portions as might be recoverable, of the trade and commerce of the world, which pains have been taken to cut out of the hands of English men, and a premium given to foreigners for being the instruments. There is nothing like being distinct. The position advanced is, that though a bounty on foreign corn is undeniably a national expense and an outlay, it is an outlay it would be most wise to make at the present moment, for the sake of the trade and commerce now in the act of expiring, which might be rescued from destruction. A d ram may b e i n a general way a needless or harmful expense but if pouring a dram down the throat of a man apparently drowned, will save him and all the posterity that may be in the loins of their father, it can hardly be said to be improvidently expended. The manufacturing and commercial interest demands justice in the shape of this dram. And there is an amazing difference in point of popularity, between a tax to bring corn in, and a tax to keep it out. Note here, that all intelligent advocates on the side of the manufacturing and commercial interests, know that whenever the change comes, it must be by some kind of gradations. But they know too, that this is no impediment to compensation being afterwards made by a bounty, by gradations of the same kind. Allow me to notice further, that there may be suspicion of a mistake being abroad, on the subject of the necessity or desirableness of coming to 'a fixed duty as a preliniinary to abolition. It looks like the bad start of some not very clear mind, which saw distinctly that to get a duty of 10s. and then remove it by two shillings a-year, was one way to remove the Corn-laws, but did not see that the end might be obtained with equal certainty by deducting annually from each grade of the existing scale; which might with equal ease be changed into a bounty by corresponding steps. Why are we to encounter all the prosing, and all the chances of disappointment and trickery, which may arise out of insisting on fighting a bye battle for a fixed duty as a preliminary? If anybody can show good reasons, let the thing go on ; but let the reasons be shown. Yours very sincerely, T. PERRON-ET THOMPSON. Blackheath, Dec. 21, 1841.

" MY DEAR CIIAMBOLLE—YOU have very well ex plained the cause of the choler of the Morning Chronicle against the fortifications of Paris. It is evident, that as long as France remains without defence against new in vesions, her alliance with England must be a compulsory one, unless she prefers to throw herself into the arms of Russia, disavowing thereby the principle, as well as all the morality of her policy ; and every alliance which is not free and facultative is a dependency, and a species of servage, rather than an alliance. We, who were parti sans of the English alliance, never desired such depen dence. We wished that France might suffice to herself. A nation is not a first-rate nation but upon one condi tion, which is, the being able, in a ' orottl and just cause, to combat alone against all, and when Europe says yes, to say no. Prussia acquired its rank as a first-rate nation the day that she had the courage to accept the defiance of all the Powers united against her and re sist them. It does not evince too much pride for France.to pretend to the same honour. In this great and unequal duel, which we neither desire nor provoke, but which is possible, and necessary to provide against, we should have to combat two Powers, both beyond our reach— Russia and England, one cuirassed by the ocean, the other with the entire breadth of Europe before her, and behind her the deserts of Asia. Are we to face such enemies without casque or armour? It would be too chivalrous, even if resistance could be continued on other points, after the occupation of Paris—if our population was united, as it would be were there but the choice be tween an established Government and that of the foreigner; but who does not know that Paris fallen, and the Tuileries occupied by a Government having its partisans, announcing itself as the pledge of reconciliation with Europe, and holding in its hands all the powers of centralization, national resist ance could not be long effectual. Has not mo dern history afforded two examples of this last and cruel truth ? Should we run the risk of a third, which would probably be the last of French nationality? Where is the French patriot, who, in 1814 and 1815, has not shed tears of blood at the aspect of a brave and numerous population stricken with powerlessness, and witness of a revolution taking place for the profit of a family, of which it the day before knew not the existence? We were then exhausted, discouraged, but less divided than we are now, and Napoleon still commanded our armies. Where is the patriot, who, in 1830, when France resumed the right of disposing of herself, and flung a defiance to Europe—where is the patriot who did not at the instant, and from the mere instinct of national inde pendence, regard the fortification of Paris as the first necessity of the country. I was then at the Hotel de Ville, and I avow I first started the project. Marshal Soult reminded the Chamber of this during the late debate ; and he was right. I then looked upon . this measure as so necessary a consequence of the revolution of July that I did not conceive the possibility of doubt or contradiction. If later, I com batted a system of detached forts, which alarmed Paris, and did not defend it, and which would have left the po pulation, as in 1814 and 1815, mere spectators of the struggle which was to decide the fate of their country, I defy any one to cite a word of mine doubting the neces sity of fortifying Paris. " As to the alarms which the English journal mani fests for liberty, I am nowise moved by them. I love liberty probably more than the Whig writers of the Chronicle, but I love it proud and strong, with the sen timent of nationality. The liberty which might vege tate under the dependence of the Cossack knout, or the insolent and forced protection of England, is not to my taste. It is not for that liberty that our fathers com bated. Let those who affi ct fears for liberty abstain from giving their support to the authors of all those re actionary measures, which, since 1830, have kept thecoun. try in a state of crisis ; let them join us, instead of re sisting us by votes, calumniating us in speeches, and I promise that we shall obtain by our united efforts such guarantees that the fortifications of Paris shall no longer occasion anxieties for freedom. There will then remain of these fortifications merely what made us vote them—an immense force for the country, increase of dignity in foreign policy, and, above all, more internal security against that extreme of misfortunes, a foreign invasion, which hangs suspended over the head of the nation; and which, as long as it remains dreaded, will expose us to the alternative of desperate resolutions, or of humiliating and shameful concessions. "I give you here currently the reflections inspired by the Morning Chronicle. In the situation in which the statesmen whom the Chronicle represents have placed my country, I am more proud than saddened by such attacks, leaving to others the melancholy glory of merit ing the praise of the foreigner. You were right not to take up seriously the reproach which the Chronicle ad" - - dresses to me, of not having in 1830 stipulated more serious guarantees in favour of our liberties. The men and the affairs of this country are ill known in England; this is not the first time that I have perceived it. Not only was I not Deputy at the moment when the destinies of our revolution were decided, but I was not in Paris. It is only in England that people can be ignorant that I accompanied Charles X. as his safeguard, to Cherbourgh, and that all I could do on the eve of my departure was to carry to the chamber (which, alarmed by the revolution, and anxious to have done with it, Was in haste to fill up the vacancy to the throne) that protest of the National Guard and the provisional government, which I developed to the tribune, against any grant of the Crown before certain guarantees were stipulated as conditions of that grant. This protest produced the 69th article of the Charter, in which it is repeated, in deed, word for word. On my return I accepted the post of Prefect at the Hotel de Ville, merely as a political post; and I kept it as long as I found means of resisting subversive and anarchist passions.on one side, or that reaction which began to manifest itself on the other. And if in this resistance I ceased to have for auxiliaries Lafayette at the head of the National Guard of Paris, Lafitte and Dupont de l'Eure in the Ministry, it is well known that it was not my fault. It would be sovereign injustice to render me responsible for my want of power. The Morning Chronicle, before it speaks of us, should de rive its information from other sources than those from whom its correspondents draw. " Toes a vous de caur. " ODILON BARROT. " P.S. The Commerce takes advantage of the article of the Chronicle. It must be blinded with passion to seek its arms and arguments there !" ANTI-CORN-LAW CONFERENCE. The number of ministers and members of Dissenting Churches who have promised to attend the great Anti- Corn-law Conference in this city, on the 11th and 12th January next, has greatly exceeded the most sanguine anticipations of its projectors. Upwards of - 201 minis ters, and 452 members have promised to attend ; and every post brings additional names. We understand there is now no doubt that the meeting will take place, and that it will be the largest and most influential ever heldin Scotland on the subject of the Corn-laws. In addition to those who are to attend, nearly 300 other ministers, who from various causes are unable to leave their homes at this season, have sig nified their cordial approbation of the proposed meeting, and their anxious desire to do everything in their power to promote the total abolition of the Corn and provision laws, which they regard as unjust in principle, and con trary to the spirit of Christianity. With about six or eight exceptions out of upwards of five hundred ministers who have sent answers, they are all opposed even to a fixed duty, and in favour of an entirely free trade in corn ; and, with very few exceptions, they state that their people are nearly unanimous in entertaining the same opinions — even in agricultural districts. In i very many nstances, it is stated that meetings have been held, and that the congregations are perfectly unanimous on the subject. Other letters state that even among the farmers the abolition cause has recently made rapid progress, and that if some provision were devised by which the landlords should be required to make an equitable arrangement regarding existing leases, the tenantry would soon be quite unanimous in favour of total repeal. Altogether, the letters are of a most cheer ing character, regarding the progress of the repeal cause. The different bodies have intimated their intention of being present as follows : Ministers. Members. I. Secession Churches 2. Relief Churches 39 79 3. Independent Churches 4. Baptist Churches 5. Smaller Sects 7 7 —Scottish Pilot. ADELPHI THEATRE. The story of " Barnaby Rudge" was on Monday dra matised at the Adelphi, with strong fidelity to the fea tures of the original fiction. This is the second dramatic version of the story of " Boz," it having been attempted before at the English Opera ; but in the present instance the dramatist has had the advantage of waiting for the conclusion of the novel, and has fashioned his materials up to the climax of the original tale. It were needless to go again over the plot of Dickens's popular work ; it will be enough in the present instance to indicate the order of the characters. Par exemple, Mr. 'Wright sus tained the part of Tappertit. His scene with old Varden and his daughter in the breakfast-parlour was a triumph of comic acting, and, when put in juxta-position to his request to Hugh, the ostler (0. Smith), to shake hands with him, brings out two ludicrous contrasts of humour and fun. He sees the dirt on the ostler's one hand, and asks him if lie has not another. He has no second hand cleaner than the first, and therefore the droll and deli cate Tappertit is content with owing him the shake. The versatility of Yates drew , down the applause of the house. In the first instance he took the part of Miggs, the maid, and in the next that of Sir John Chester, the dandy of the olden time. It is enough to say that Mrs. Yates performed the part of Mrs. Rudge, to indicate that the pathos and passion of that episode of the novel were developed with spirit, energy, and success in the drama. Barnaby, the idiot boy, became, in the hands df Miss Chapli n , an interest ing performance, chastely and quietly_ acted, and with out any straining after effect, John Willett, the sturdy, burly headed Boniface, was well give n by Wilkinson ; and Paul Redford did his • utmost for old Yerden, The TEA MARKET. The market was dull for Free Trade, and prices were barely supported ; Is. 9d. to ls. 9id. for low and good ordinary Congou cash. Company's difficult of sale at ls, Sfld. cash. TALLOW MARKET.

SUGAR.—The West India market was very dull to day, the attention of the buyers being directed to the public sales of Bengal, and the few transactions that took place were at rather lower prices than accepted at the close of the market on Friday last. 50 hhds Trinidad were offered by public auction, and bought in above the value at 60s to 63s for middling greyish yellow, and at 58s for low yellow. MA uRITICTS.— Two parcels were brought to public sale, consisting of 6,463 bags, 146 boxes, the bulk of which (4,700 bags) consisted of the new crop, per the Science, just arrived ; the quality and condition of the Sugar was not so desirable as could be wished. The demand from the trade was very inactive, but nearly the whole quantity was sold and in prices, with the ex- ception of the old brown qualities, which were rather cheaper, there was little variation from last week ; low heavy brown sold at 40s to 41s, strong middling and good middling brown at 47s to 48s, low mid yellow at 54s to 555, middling yellow at 57s 6d to 595, good mid dling bright yellow at 61s 6d to 625, good and fine bright yellow at 66s 6d to 67s 6d, and very fine dry and colory of a favourite mark (Le Breton) at 69s 6d to 71s 6d per cwt.

COFFEE.—The market has been unusually quiet this week ; not a single parcel has been offered by public sale, and the private transactions have been ex tremely limited, with a downward tendency for prices, though no actual decline can be quoted ; the importers still being unwilling to press sales. The public sales consisted of 110 casks Berbice, and 350 bags Ceylon ; the first being mostly of the better class sold at full prices, viz., middling at 104 s to 110 s, and fine middling at 115 s to 120 s ; the Ceylon realized 66s to 67s 6d for good ordinary pale and colory. COCOA is dull of sale, and prices rather easier ; 300 bags Trinidad at public auction only partly sold at 37s to 44s for low to good fair red. _ _ GINGER.—E — ast India is still almost without inquiry, and prices are very low ; only 200 bags Malabar have been put up to public sale, which being of ordinary qua lity and old went at 8s 6d to 9s per cwt. PIMENTO. —ln the absence of a public sale, we are un able to report any change in the value of the article, and very little business has been done. The stock continues on the decrease. CASSIA LIGNEA.-170 chests were brought td the hammer and partly sold at full rates, middling at 88s 6d per cwt. PEPPER remains steady in price, but the demand is not lively ; 2,954 bags were put up to public sale, and only partly sold at 3d 3id for fair and good Malabar.

On Friday a parcel of this description, con sisting of 46 puns 30 hhds sold at Is 6fd to is 7id for 21 to 28 over.

Loss OF PRO -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 1 8 , and ei g ht 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 50,000/. besides the building. There are but few of the owners of the cotton, &c., who arc 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.
