This little work is not only distingutsheu but eentra-uistin guished from all others which have preceded it, its pages being exclusively devoted to the curative department, and hence it may be justly hailed as a great national desideratum. It con tains above one hundred choice recipes, adapted to various stages of the complaint, which is divided into three distinct heads and progressive stages of treatment, viz. ;—lst, The cleansing, or detergent ; 2dly, The strengthening, or tonic ; and lastly, The alterative, or purifying. Into these three grand divisions, theory suggested, and long experience has demon strated, the curative plan ought and must be divided. The treatment of this disease has, for obvious reasons, been hitherto confined to some cordial balm, occult tincture, or.talis manic drops, which act merely as a dram—a temporary stimu lus, procured at the expense of the patient's future welfare.

[ADVERTISEMENT PERSONAL ORNAMENT.—A highly-interest ing work might be composed on the various and dissimilar modes of personal embellishment practised among different na tions, and the chapter devoted to the teeth could not but prove one of the most attrac'ive in the volume. Among many savage nations the practice is Nell known to prevail of dying the teeth black, which is esteemed a high degree of ornament ; while, on the contrary, our British fair, relying on nature for their at tractions, seek only to preserve the charms which she has so richly bestowed on them, and endeavour simply to preserve the white and pearly character of the teeth. Among the various means suggested for this object, we would select the celebrated Odonto, ' prepared by Messrs. Rowland, of Hat ton-garden, as the most admirable and perfect dentifrice vet submitted to tbe public. The morning before last, at an early hour, a Garde Champetre, on duty in the environs of Montmartre, heard two pistol shots, and running to the spot from whence the sound proceeded, to his astonishment saw two young and pretty women re-loading their pistols, which they had just dis charged, in a duel. The man interposed to put an end to the combat, and under the pretext of escorting the fair duellists through the barrier, accompanied them thither, and immedi ately gave them in charge. They passed several hours in the guard-house before they were-released. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. OLD C(AURT. (Before Mr. Justice Easxtx E. ) Francis'Pearse, 31, was indicted for feloniouily cutting and wounding Henry Deale, with intent to maim and disable `him, or to do him some grievo i us bodily harm. Mr. Ballentine appeared ft* the prisoner. It appeared from the evidfinee, that on the 3d inst. the pro secutor, the prisoner, and several other men, were in a public house together, and the prisoner quarrelled, and Pearse made a blow at Deale, which he warded off, and then in his own defence, struck the prisoner in the face, and the prisoner almost instantly made a blow at his side, which caused Min to feel a slight pain, but at that. lime he did net know that he had been stabbed, and ht went home, when he found that his clothes had been cut. , through, and that he had received a severe wound in the. side ; and after it had been dressed by a, surgeon he was c anveyed to the hospital, where he had, r e_ mauled down to the present time. Upon the prisoner being taken into •cust,?ily a knife was fo un d u p on hi m , th e ',Aide and handle of whic'i were smeared with blood, and the, size of the blade corresp , inded exactly with the cut in e.le prosecutor's clothes. Been the prosecutor and the prisoner 'were intoxicated when the affray took place between them. The Jury, found the prisoner Guilty, and he was ordered to ,be kept to hard labour in the House of Correction for two years. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. The R A , . Louis Waters, the Swiss Roman Catholic priest, who was on Thursday last charged before Mr. Maltby with obtaining money from various Roman Cathol'Lcs under the pretence that he was appointed by the Rev. Dr. Griffiths, the 'Catholic Bishop of Itondon, to go out as a missionary to China to convert the Empe ror of the Celestial Kingdom to the " true faith," and mire was then remanded to give time for further inquiries as to his sanity, &c.,'was yesterday brought up for re examktetion. PreVtous to the case being heard, the Rev. Henry Lee, the secretary to Dr. Griffiths, handed Some letters to Mr. Maltby. which had ben. seat by the.prisurr TlVAlleFin iS-39, in which he stated that " he wished to be appointed confessor to her Majesty Queen Victoria, Empress of all the Russias, and the Duchess of Kent." These letters, on the prisoner's being placed at the bar, Mr. Maltby handed to Mr. Fitzgerald, :surgeon,' High street, Bloomshury, through whose instrumentality the priSoner had been taken into custody, and requested that gentle•.nan's professional opinion as to the sanity of a p7son who could, in those letters, frequently style her Majesty " The Empress of all the Russias," and express. his desire of being appointed her confessor, and of Itc companying her to Russia. Mr. Fitzgerald expressed his opinion, that the pri soner was labouring under a species of monomania. The Rev. Mr. Lee being sworn, stated, that the pri son= had called daily, for some months, at the house of Dr. Griffiths, in Golden-square, and left letters, which were couched in such incoherent terms, that, by the &Aire of the Bishop, he had applied to the Swiss Consul M. Prevost) to ascertain whether the prisoner could not be removed to his native country and placed under the care of his friends ; he found, however, that the Consul had no power to remove the prisoner against his consent. Since the commencement of the war with China, the . prisoner's monomania had taken a different turn, and instead of, as formerly, supplicating to be appointed confessor to her Majesty, his desires now ran upon being sent out as missionary to China. 'The prisoner had no authority from the Bishop to solicit contributions. He (Mr. Lee) had heard that the pri soner had received contributions from charitable friends, but was not until that morning aware of the system he was carrying on. The prisoner came from St. Gall, in Switzerland. . On the prisoner being asked whether the letters were his writing, and his reason for addressing her Majesty us the Empress of all the Russias, he admitted that he had written them, and that at the time it was his most earnest wish and prayer that her Majesty should become the consort of the Crown Prince of Russia. Mr. MALTBY—Are you willing, if you are not sent to prison for offending against the laws of this country, to go back to Switzerland, if passports are provided you and your passage paid to Strasburg,or Basle ? Prisoner—l must go to China. I undertake all these things for the grace and glory of God and the good of the Chinese. Mr. MALTBY observed, that the prisoner appeared to be under such a delusion that it could be scarcely said that he was criminally responsible for his actions. After some conversation between the worthy Magis trate, the Rev. Mr. Lee; and Mr. Fitzgerald, it was ar ranged that a passage should be provided for the pri soner in one of the Rotterdam packets, Mr. Lee engaging to furnish the necessary funds, and Mr. Fitzgerald that he would see the prisoner safe on board and give the ne cessary instructions for his safety. The prisoner was then remanded until Friday next, when he will be delivered up to Mr. Fitzgerald. BRENTFORD PETTY SESNS. Yesterday three fashionably dressed persMr_ whose names appeared on the polic e - s h ee t as John Goldsmith, aged 26, of 14, Albany, Piccadilly, gentleman ; Ray ln=rl .Newton, aged 30.. of Sloane-street, gentleman ;- Henry Newton, aged 25, of George-street, New-road, gentleman ; and Richard Boyle, aged 19, of Newgate street, servant, appeared in discharge of their bail, bef9re Mr. G. Bailie, Chairman, the Rev. Dr. Walmesley, and Mr. B. J. Armstrong, the sitting Magistrates, to answer a charge of having, on the evening- of Thurs day last, been drunk, a nd uriously driving a phaeton and pair of horses in the township of New Brentford, and thereby injuring a horse and harness the property of William Cullen ; also assaulting and resisting the officers in the execution of their duty ; assaulting John Ayres, and violent and disorderly conduct at the Police station in Old Brentford. The conduct of the defendants having excited great indignation amongst the inhabitants of the town, the Magistrates' room at the Three Pigeons Inn was crowded by persons anxious to hea t r the case. The defendants having been placed at the bar, the fol lowing witnesses were examined : Eth — vard Scotney, a police constable, T 29, deposed that on Thursday evening about seven or eight o'clock, he was i on duty at Brentford-end, in the parish of Isle worth, when he saw a phaeton and pair, having a ser vant in livery behind, coming through the Isleworth turnpike towards Brentford, the horses galloping at a tremendous rate. Seeing there was likely to be great danger caused by their coming so fast, he went into the middle of the road, and, holding up his hand, called to the driver, who was the defendant Raymond Newton, to pull up or he would run over somebody, but he kept on regardless of witness's caution, ,and they were soon out of sight. The horses were going at, the rate of from fourteen to sixteen miles an hour. The phaeton was on its_ right side of the road. Mr — . John Rpgers, lighterman, of New Brentford, do— posed that he was standing on the evening in question with some neighbours opposite the Pigeons Inn, when he observed the phaeton coming at a tremendous rate over the bridge. A horse and chaise, with two persons in it, were passing at the moment, and, fearing an accident, he called to them for God's take to pull out of the way. They drew on one side, and the phaeton passed them without striking them, but it struck against a waggon opposite the Market-place. He followed them, and on reaching the Half-acre, found the phaeton jammed in between an omnibus belonging to Mr. William Cullen, of the Castle Inn, and the post at the corner of the road. In a minute afterwards a policeman came up, and at tempted to take the defendants into custody, but the po lice were resisted so violently by the defendants, that the inhabitants assisted them by taking off the horses, and drawing the carriage with the defendants to the sta tion-house. The defendants were urging the horses to the utmost. Witness assisted in conveying them to the station. The hind part of the phaeton was on the crown of the road and the pole against the post. There was not room for the phaeton to pass between the post and the omnibus. Joseph Smith, T 60, deposed to taking the defendants into custody. On getting into the phaeton to de so, he was immediately collared by Mr. R. Newton and the groom, who struck him several times, and they both tried their utmost to throw him out of the carriage. He then drew his staff, and in the scuffle struck Mr. R. Newton twice over the arm, after which he sent off to the station for assistance, and, on the arrival of another constable, the inhabitants unhitched the horses and drew the phaeton to_ the station. The defendant Boyle while that was doing struck several persons who were pushing behind the carriage with his hat. At the station-house Mr. R. Newton and Boyle were very disorderly, so that before the charge could be taken they were obliged to be placed in a cell. They p u ll e d th e p ens out o the sergeant's hand while taking down the charge ; called the police rogues and vagabonds, saying they wanted to rob them ; and the defendant Goldsmith swore if the police attempted to lay hold of him he' would knock them down. They were all intoxicated. Creed, a police Sergeant, T 15, deposed that when brought to the station the defendants, R. Newton and the groom, refused to get out of the phaeton, but at last more constables were procured, and they were dragged out. In the station-house they all impeded the charge being taken by every means in their power, and called 'him and the other constables all tl* foul names they could lay their tongues to. When locked up in the cells, a little wicket door was left open for air, when, seeing a female cross the yard; they called her a w— and used other insulting words to her, after which they imi tated catcalls and the cries of dying persons, besides hallooing out "murder" with all their might ; and at last, seeing the wife of the 'inspector pass a window of the station-house, they made use of the most beastly and disgusting language, so that the female inmates of the station were compelled to be removed to another part of the premises, but an immense crowd remained collected round the station until past ten at night. Inspector Marquard corroborated the Sergeant's tes timony. Mr. R. Newton inquired why some of the females who were so abashed had not been produced. The fact was, that the principal damage done was to his own phaeton, and the disturbance would not have happened had nokthe policeman . Smith jumped into the carriage and struck him twice over the arm and abused him. Smith instantly denied that statement, and several re spectable inhabitants on their oaths declared that there was not a word of truth in what Mr. R. Newton had stated, and passed a warm eulogium on the police for ;the temper and forbearance they displayed und er t h e insults and blows they received.. • . • The BENCH said the line of defence adopted by the SEVENTH EDITION.

The following are a few of the numerous testimonials this popular work has received, and which the limits of an adver tisement will only allow of being published : The rage for books in all departments of Science, literature, and the arts, was, we believe, never so prevalent as at the pre sent time. The unavoidable consequence of this is, that we meet a very considerable proportion of indifferent, useless, and even bad books. With the force of this prejudice on our minds, we with no little reluctance were induced to peruse Messrs. Curtis's work, entitled "Manhood ;" nor did it re quire much perusal fully to satisfy us that the book was not one of the common stamp. The scientific views taken by the authors of the source and origin of many of the most distressing effects of certain depraved habits, fully establish their claim to the character of experienced and judicious surgeons. To quote passages from the work in proof of our assertion would be departing from the established rules of the daily press. The result, however, of our careful perusal of the work, has been to impress us with a thorough confidence in the talent and skill of the authors, and to satisfy us that those entrusted with the care of youth are not a little indebted to them for fur nishing them with a means of preventing some of the most frightful maladies to which flesh is heir.—Old England. Messrs. Curtis's work, entitled "Manhood," is one of the few books now coming befor the public on such a subject which can lay claim to the character of being strictly professional, at the same time that it is fully intelligible to all who read it. The moral and medical precepts given in it, render it invalu able.—Magnet. The perusal of Messrs. Curtis's book entitled " Manhood," has really astonished us by developing a series of maladies, the never-failing consequence of the vicious habit of which it treats. The clear connexion pointed out between the assigned cause and the effects is perceptible to every capacity. We strongly recommend the work.—Age. The multitude of books daily coming from the press, some, nay most of them, of a very questionable tendency, made us ex tremely reluctant to take up another. Having, however, been induced by the character given of this work by an intelligent friend, we ventured to open its pages, and now feel no hesita tion in saying that we arise from its perusal instructed and edified. The clear exposition if the sour ce of many of those diseases which proves so fatal to youth, and which are set down by the every-day observer as the result of common causes, such as exposure to cold, sudden vicissitudes of tempe rature, hereditary taint, &c., is truly convincing and extre mely satisfactory. We say " satisfactory," inasmuch as Messrs. Curtis have shown that many diseases, such as Pulmonary Consumption, Epilepsy, &c., hitherto the opprobria of medi cine, may, when taken in proper time, and submitted to judi cious treatment, be brought to as favourable a termination as any other class of affections. We do not think we go too far in saying that society is deeply indebted to the authors for producing so useful, so much wanted, so valuable, and so truly moral a book.—Conservative, Journal. We recommend the work entitled " Manhood," &c., to the careful perusal of persons of all classes. The moral as well as physical advantages sure to result from such perusal, will he most readily recognised and felt by those who stand most in need of them.—Statesman. Messrs.

CHRONICLE.— Lord Melbourne announced in the House of Lords last night, the resignation of himself and colleagues ; -the acceptance of that resignation .liy her Majesty, and their continuance to hold their offics...s. till their successors were appointed. No man knovr:: 4 better LOrd Melbourne what theeceasion demands; and confining himself to the bare fact he evinced his Its.:nal tact and judgment. A change in the Administra tion of a mighty empire is an important event ; but it is important v, ith reference to the interests of the people ; and as such a change implies either a departure from 'the system on which the Government is conducted, or a more factious struggle for place ; there is always a danger, lest, on the o ne h an d, warmt h o f manner should - be attributed to personal disappointment, and, on the other, lest moderation' towards op ponents should be mistaken for indifference to wards the nation, of which the welfare is at stake. The termination of an Administration which be gan its career by the Reform Bill, and ended it by a measure of .commercial freedom, is no ordinary event. That Administration forms an important section in the history of this empire. We will not allow ourselves to indulge in gloomy anticipatioas, because we do not be lieve that any Administration can repress the indomit able energies of the nation, or change its ultimate des tiny ; but still the substitution of a Tory Government for one of which the mission was institutional and admi nistrative Reform, cannot be contemplated with indiffe rence by any well-constituted mind. It is a temporary triumph of the evil principle. Its tendency is to throw damp on the exertions of those who have the inte rests of the millions at heart. That the intentions of the departed Ministry were, from first to last, honest towards the millions, will be allowed with out hesitation, even by those who may think that a more decided 'course might have better ena bled them to realize ' their intentions. But then the purity of their intentions drew on them the hostility of the party by which they have at last been vanquished. Their principal mistake lay in supposing that concilia tory conduct towards their opponents might disarm their opposition. A party banded. together by selfish motives are to be disarmed by rigour rather than conciliation. But into this wide field we will not now enter. One im portant fact characteristic of the late Ministry and their opponents we cannot help noticing. The late Ministry commanded a majority in the House of Commons till they evinced a determination to prefer the welfare of the people to the claims of monopolists—till, in the behalf of the people, they braved the all-powerful class-of land owners. We do, not wonder that some of those who once fought side by side with the departed Ministry. should, in their triumph, feel the alloy of some uneasy reminiscences. Lord Stanley's speech affords, we think, unequivocal evidence that his Lordship already begins to suspect that he is in bad company. TIMES.—The circumstance of none of the Conserva tive leaders having spoken in the recent debate except Mr. Goulbarn and Sir Robert Peel, and the former of these gentlemen having risen only on the spur of the moment to expose the financial fallacies of the law Chancellor of the Exchequer, :while Sir Robert Peel confined himself principally to a statement of the views with which he is himself about to enter office—these favourable circumstances enabled Lord John Russell to make a plausible speech, in which he affected to com plain that the Whigs were condemned without having. the articles of impea c hm e nt aga i ns t th em produced. Th e. simple reply is, that the Conservatives did not wi s h t o re-open all the details of a question which was fully ar gued in the last Parliament. When a prisoner, who has been found guilty, after a long and patient investigation, is brought up for judgment, it is not customary in Bri tish courts of justice to go through the whole proves ver bal of the trial a second time. It would have been more appropriate, and far more seasonable, if Lord John Rut - sell had taken the opportunity which was offered him three months since to make his defence before the coun try returned. its verdict. This, however, does not ar pear to have been his own view of the case. He reserved the catalogue of Whig successes with which he enter tained the House of Commons on Saturday morning for a last dying speech and confession—a funeral oration over his departing Government. He was disposed, like Vauxhall rocket, to go off in a blaze. We suspec ' , however, that the country will be but little dazzled by the exhibition. It may puzzle and amuse people for a few brlef moments to hear men drummed out of a regi ment to the tune of " See, the Conquering Hero comes," but we doubt much whether there is any one whose rela tive notions of success and failure will be at all altered . by the phenomenon. ADVERTISER.—RoyaI Addresses are commonly re markable only for their vague generalities, and shallow and unmeaning tautologies ; but her Majesty, on open ing the present. Session, threw off the consecrated gar ment of mysticism, and for once spoke to the hearts, as well as to the understandings, of her p e opl e . H er lan guage on the subject of fiscal reform was plain, simple, and intelligent, conveying her determination to direct the light of inquiry to one of the most enormous evils ever tolerated in an enlightened country—that of impo litic and partial taxation. We have already laid before our readers the several items representing the aggregate amount of our taxation, and from them they may form some conception of its magnitude and importance. But the cardinal error and evil of the existing system, is the inequality of its pressure on the several classes of society. The amount of the burden, heavy as it is, would be but a comparatively small grievance, did it rest chiefly upon those who have strength to sus tain it. If the seventy millions, which constitute the Government and local taxes were assessed upon the property of the country—as reason and justice suggest that they should be, and not, as now, in defiance of every equitable principle, upon its industry, or, more properly speaking, upon the fund required for the subsistence of the population—the consequences resulting from even a profligate scale of expenditure would be scarcely notice able, because almost wholly unfelt. But very different is the present system, the evils of which are, as we have already said, almoSt innumerable. At each successive step of an inquiry into its details, some new grievance, operating most injuriously to the public interests, and pressing with almost intolerable severity upon the weaker classes, is discovered, and ex cites wonder at the folly or wickedness by which it was devised, and is still kept in existence. We could have wished that her Majesty's Address had taken a broader and more statesman-like view of the question, not con fining itself to any one detail of the system, but boldly directing attention to it as a whole ; for, assuredly, no one part of it can be revised, in any important degree; without involving the necessity of a thorough reform of the whole. But however far the Royal Speech ma y have fallen short of our desire s i n this respect, fail to recognize in it th e a d m i ssion of sound prin ciple of fiscal economy. we c annot a ' POST.—When the Whig Ministers advised the dis solution of Parliament, they either expected to obtain a considerable accession of strength in the House of Com mons, or they did not. If they did expect such a result the fact indicates such ignorance of the state of political feeling among the electors, and such vain unfounded con fidence:in the popular regard for the Whig Government, as proves the unfitness of these Ministers for the offices which they held. Under the present constitution of this country no man deserves to hold office who is ignorant of the state of public feeling, or deceived as to its pro bable hearing in the event of a general election. On the other hand, if Ministers did not expect an accession of strength by the election of a new Parliament, the object in dissolving must have been to prevent a dissolution un der the Conservative Government, which they saw to be inevitable. The object must have been to gain for the purposes of the Opposition, certain seats which are tolerably well understood to be obtained by the in fluence of the Government. If this be so, the managers who are capable of such a trick well deserve all the ill luck wh.si could befal them. The unexpectedly large ma jority a inst them was a just rebuke against such official perfidy. But whatever the true theory of the recent dis solution may be, and however vexatious its results may be to the Whig-Radical party, we cannot but look upon it as a most fortunate circumstance for the Conservatives. If Sir Robert Peel had taken the Government and con tinued the late House of Commons, he would have been wantipg in that commanding strength which is so essen• tial to the vigorous conduct of affairs. If he had taken the Government and then dissolved the House, his ma jority would in that case have been attributed to Govern ment influence, and not to the popular preference for Conservative principles and modes of Government.

CHRONICLE.-13y the liamburgie mail which ar rived this morning a-favourable turn, it appears, had taken place in the exchange on. London in that .city on Friday last, the rates having advanced half a sciiilling, accompanied with a decline in Oil of 14- mark. This favourable feature in the exchanges contributed to pro duce the advance in the Funds we have noticed above.- It Shows that the drain on the Bank Ines in the .incan lime subsided, and that money is likely tq become easier . by the Directors relaxing their stringent action on the: currency. The Quebec papers of the 11th of August cobtain a. copy . of the first report made by the Committee of the Legislative Assembly on the subject of the currency, according to - the recommendations of which u Bill had been introduced into the provincial legislature, which., proposes that all Acts or parts of Acts relating to the• value of gold, silver, and copper coin in Upper and Lower Canada, or to the amount thereof respectively to be paid'. in paymentof debts, and received as a legal tender, or in any manner .relating to the currency, and contrary to the provisions of this Act, shall be and are repealed. It is then enacted that the pound currency shall be such, that the Pound sterling, as represented by the Bri tish sovereign, of the weight and fineness now fixed by the laws of the United Kingdom, shall be equal to, raid Such British sovereign shall be a legal tender for one pound four shillings and threepence currency. Nothing shall affect the mmning of the words " sterling,' or " sterling money of Great Britain," in past acts or con tracts ; bat in any future law, contract, or agreement, the pound sterling shall have the value in currency as signed in this Act to the British soverejgri.

' These tables are very satisfactory and place the resources of the colony in a favourable liitht. The stun required for the public service is 357,25E1. Is. 70. sterling, in which are included 5,7801. 4s.

The income is set down at 383,390/. Is. Id., of which the amount _levied on. ini, ports by sea is 181,5801. ; leaving a surplus of upwards or 26,0001. Immigration was still on the increase, the official returns showing an excess over 1840 of 4,540; the number in that year being 19,074, and to the 7th of August, 1841, 23,614. Th quantity of flour and wheat exports from Canada to this country tie the'loth of July was 271,154 bushels .of the latter, and 155,223 : barrels of the former. . POST.—Money was again obtained • upon the nun- . rantee of stock on very easy terms f t r limited periods. The Corn Market, as had been foreseen, was. greatly depressed, the new English wheats brought for ward selling at a heavy reduction on the prices quoted. this day week. The corn jobbers are always found Ms resist a coming decline with an obstinacy common to- monopolists ; but the appearance of things to-day fur nished the surest evidence of the difficulty in which they have placed themselves by a too ready belief in the insufficiency of the home supply. The arrival at market of samples of new wheat, and the uninterrupted continuance of fine weather, must; put an end to all apprehension for the present sea son. Some thousand quarters will, no doubt, be , imported, though probably not entered for consumption. Importation is usually going on upon a scale of in aged tude varying according to circumstances, but this ha in , itself no proof whatever of a positive deficiency in the: production of the native grower. Prices have been high: on the Continent, and the parties who may have ven tured on importations cannot fail, when their matters are brought to a practical issue, to realise immense losses upon them. With a fixed duty of Bs. per quarter, their case would have been even worse, in cousequenca , of the• increased. competition there would have been in the. trade. A money panic and general d , scredit would. have been the first fruits of the change, bad the Govern ment scheme been canned, nor can it be questioned that. the severest distress commercial as well as agricultural, would have proved the sequel.

There was a very brisk market for Shares to-day, and in most instances better prices were obtained. Great Western Railway touched Is, the New 7 ; Birmingham 72% to 73 1 / 3 ; and the South Western 15 5 premium. Brighton were as high as 24; Blackwell 9; and Manchester and Leeds 10 1 4 discount. Provincial Bank of Ireland Shares were 16 premium. As the Boundary question is likely to be a source of some trouble to the New Government, our readers may judge of the disposition of the Americans from the following extract from a. payer received to-day :- " Two or three weeks ago there was a rumour that two com panies of the United States troops at Houlton were to be moved farther north, one company to be stationed at the Fish River post, and another at Fort Fairfield, on the Aroostook ; but we have not been able to obtain any certain information respecting it, other than this, that Mr. Webster informed .a certain gentleman that it was to take place, and in an off-hand way referred him to the Secretary of War for particulars. " Something appears to be on foot, but whether it is a feint or a reality, we have no means of knowing. We hope it is to ex pel the British invaders from our soil ; if so, we go for it heart end soul. Invaders have descerated our roil long enoegh. It will even afford us cltisfaction to hear that in six months the party in power have found out 'that British troops are within our borders. Last December it was first knowa that they were removed from Lake Temiscouta to the Madawaska, 30 or 40 miles towards the heart of the State; but the Governor and the majority of the Legislature, did not appear to be aware of the fact, so far as any measeres taken to remove them was concerned, and nothing has been done towards removing them to this day. Some cool resolves were passed just before the adjournment of the Legislature about the boundary in general, and that was all. The bold and active State policy of Gover nor Fairfield's Admiuictration, we regret to say, is not fol lowed up." DIED.—At the Royal Naval Hospital, Ply mouth, on the 21st instant, Captain Hugh Nurse, R.N., aged 45 years. He held the command of the African station in her Majesty's ship Iris. " James's Nan! History" records his command of a tender of her Majesty's ship Tyne, in the West Indies, in the year 1820, when he highly distinguished himself in a desperate and successful conflict against a very superior pi ratical force, in which action he was most severely wi,unded. He was sincerely beloved by all who knew him. A soldier on duty at the prison of Orleans was, a few days since, attacked by one of the large dogs which are kept to guard that building, and before any assistance could reach him was severely bitten. The infuriated animal was obliged to be shot, in order to release the man from his grasp, as no one dared approach him.
