Ammer. g the various disorders of the Mouth, there is none mire 'l' estructive than Scurvy, which on first entering the Gums caul' es them to bleed on the most trifling occasions, and pro duc, 0 . the most offensive and frequently putrid breath. A tuft substance invariably accumulates around the necks of the Teeth, penetrates into the Gums, which gradually • taste away, and the Teeth then become loose, and drop out whole from tlieir sockets, and it is well known thsi the loss of Teeth arises more from this cause than any other. On this subject a distinguished Lecturer makes the following sbservations :—" When the disgusting effects of this accumo- lotion are considered, it would appear impossible that any per suasion could be necessary to induce persons to obviate so great a nuisance even on their own account : or if they are too de based to procure their own comfort and cleanliness by employ .ng a skilful Dentist, they surely have no right to shock the senses of others, who possess more delicacy and propriety of feeling than themselves. Yet, so it is ; and the sight and t)-, e smell are alike constantly outraged by the filthiness of some people, who seem to obtrude their faces the closer in t:, - roportion to the disgust which the , / occasion."—Bell's p. 199. Could such persons 'only see the horrid sta"..e of their teeth and gums, or for a - moment catch the ' o d our o f t h e i r own breath, they would not hesitate to s"ck immediate relief. To professional men, 'shop-keepers, r o d tradesmen generally, who have much intercr Purse with tive refined and fashionable world, a good state of t',ie mouth 7.iust be of the greatest importance s. 'Besides, is not r.n offens;ve breath, which in nineteen cases out of twenty Foe/ !eds from the bad state of the teeth and gums, very much calculated to prevent the blessing of matrimony? and how of',,en, from inadvertence or neglect, is the happiness of the ma . miage state most grievously interupted by the same muse" The inconveniencie,s attending the Loss of Teeth are too well 'Anown to require comment, but to those who have not ex ree,ewied the comfort of Artificial Teeth, Monsieur Le Dray_ t' of showing some of th e diffi cu l t i es more or less en.. durel lay every individual without them. When the Teeth are lest; it is impossible te make use of solid food ; and if the sttintiach is then loaded with pieces without being masticated. the patient.is expoaed to the most distressing inxligestions, the stomach I oses its power of contraction, and becomes weak in proporti(m as it no longer digests ; besides, when the Teeth ere gen', a great vacuum is left in the mouth, which occasions every Tpusele in the face to be distorted, and the whole features Ire cArnp!etely drawn fro m th e i r or i g i na l pos i t i on. 7.'0 insist on the importance of the teeth, whether in regard l'Athe functions of digestion and articulation, to which they are so essential, or to personal appearance, in which they are so much conoerned, must appear a waste of words, were it not obvious that there are many persons who never give themselves the trouble to think upon the subject ; who seem scarcely aware that they possess. teeth at all, while their gross and cul pable negligence renders tha fact too apparent to their friends ..ad associates. Mastification is the first process of digestion, and unless it Se duly performed, the subsequent processes can never go on rly. o essential is this preparatr,ry process, that the neglect of it is - sufficient to occasion indigestion, a disordered stomach, ner eons debility, depression 0. spirits, the skin becomes rouilh and tinged of a lead colour, the eyes lose their brilliancy, the lips their vermillion hue, and, in a word, it is no uncommon thing for the whole body to receive such a shock as to cause re laxation of the '„hole system, which produces an irritable temper, quite foreign to the natural disposition, whereby we become an annoyance to our friends, and a burthen to onrseles. But I need not dwell upon the num berless cencomitant evils which may thus owe their origin to imperfect mastication. It is sufficient to know • that Monsieur Le Dray's improvements will be four,d to be many years in advance of any system now in Eu r:roe, and that artificial teeth are brought to such perfection, at Vie Establishment, No. 60, Newman-street, Oxford •street, as to perform this function in a manner equal in every respect to the natuxal teeth, and way be used with every comfort. They are se arranged as to restore the face to its former youthful cots correcting all deformities of the mouth, and entirely doicg RIMY with the old system of springs, clasps, and wires. As an essential point of beauty, the teeth must ever star pre-eminent. No regularity of features, no brilliancy of om plexion, ne sparkling eyes, or silken braids of jetty hair can tender that lady beautiful, who when she opens her lips (though. they be of coral), discloses a set of teeth irregular or discole:dred. On the contrary, even homely features and a aalle,sv complexion are embellished and rendered agreeable by a ArJoil set of teeth. A mouth large and ill-formed will pass unnoticed, when it contains teeth beautifully white and even. On the other hand the effects of decay, the accumulation of tarter, the blackened and denuded fangs, and the taint of the brertb, which is a common concomitant of bad teeth, will " 12 fariably prove disgusting and loathsome. Regular teeth, white, and tree from all extraneous matter, Ire an ornament equally attractive in either sex. These per atms who do not possess this natural advantage, should en deavour, by extreme care and cleanliness, and a timely resort to artificial rid, to remedy the imperfections, and supply the deficiencies of nature, in order that their teeth, if not an agree able object, may be prevented, as far as possible, from becominp - repulsive one. Monsieur LE DRAY, Surgeon-Dentist, 60, Newman-street, Oxford -street, respectfully acquaint's the Nobility, Gentry, Clergy, and the inhabitants of London and its vicinity, that he continues to restore Decayed Teeth with his celebrated Mine ral Marmoratum, so universally recommended by the Faculty o fEngl.and, France, and throughout the Continent, which substance he is sole inventor and possessor of. The ope ration is performed without the least pain ; it is placed into the cavity in an almost liquid state, and in a few seconds nardens into enamel, preventin g and curing the Tooth Ache, westing all furth er progress of decay, allaying its one minute he most excruciating pain, and rendering the operation of ex rettion unnecessary, Ile also fastens loose Teeth, particularly of aged persons, whether arising from neglect, the use of calo mel, diseas of the gums, er any other cause.

CHRONICLE.—The Budget of Friday evening may be characterised as the most important financial measure ever submitted to a British Parliament. Coupled with Lord John Russell's announcement on the subject of the Corn-laws, it amounts, in fact, to a complete and comprehensive reform of cur whole commercial andfintncial system upon the enlightened principles which, in the time of Husktssrin. fi.st obtained a par tial and timid introduction into our leeislation. The principle of i.rohibition being once departed from in the three great ar ticies of " corn, sugar, and timber," the various minor re forms required to rescue our tariff from the reproach so justly cast upon it by foreign nations, ofexclusiveness and illiberality, are sure to follow. In the well-known liberality of Mr. Ll kouchere's views, we see a sufficient guarantee that the oppor tunity afforded by the Annual Customs Bill not be neg lected of making an important advance towards effect ing a revision of many of the miner duties, which im pede our commerce and prejudice our relations with other countries, without materially adding to the revenue. On the whole, then, it is right that the people of England should know that the cause of tree trade is now in their own hands ; that it now depends on themselves whether they are to be freed from the burdens which the protection of c lass-interests, ten times more oppressive than the legitimate necessities of the re venue, have imposed upon them. The question it simply this : circumstances render it imperatively necessary to raise an ad ; ditional sum of 4 2,000,000 i. annually ; this sum may he raised without entailing a single farthing o f additional burden upon the country, but, on the contrary, by affording at the same time a very important relief to the great mass of the commu• nity, and a very great impulse to industry and commerce, by extending the market for British manufacture, and encourag ing a mutually beneficial interchange of commodities with foreign countries. If not raised in this way, there is no alternative but to reimpose the house tax, the candle tax, the coal tax, or some of the taxes, productive in proportion to the generality and oppressiveness of their operation, from which the country has of late years been relieved, so much to the satisfaction and benefit of all classes; or failing. this, to resort to a general income or property tax. That the choice lies between these alternatives is manifest to every one: The Times tells us that it would be "an insult to common sense to suppose that the • Ministenal proposition relative to corn, sugar, and timber, can be carried." Why so ? The ," insult to common sense" consists in supposing that the Tories will ever agree to anything so beneficial to the nation ; and they will not, as a matter of course, adopt the alternative of dear bread, dear sugar, and dear tim ber, with a house tax, light tax, fuel tax, or a property tax, rather than that of cheap bread, cheap sugar, and cheap timber, without any additional taxes at. all. Cer tainly it would be an " insult to common sense" to suppose that Mr. Goulburn, Mr. Herries, aril Sir Robert Peel, who in 1831 'saddled the people of England with " dear wood," and an additional taxation of 60e,000i. a year, which might have been dispensed with if Lord Spencer's plan had beeen adopted —who have on all occasions stood forward as the advocate of the landlords' monopoly—who have received every concession to the principles of commercial liberality, even when, as in the case of the East India Ruin duties, they were made in faveur of our own colonies, with distrust and murmurings— should all at once turn round and warmly espouse and advo cate measures and principles to which they have always, been opposed. But that Ministers have shown any want of " common sense" in bringing forward these measures is by no means equally apparent, unless it can be established that.a Government are bound to adopt the course most contrary to the principles and professions of their whole lives, and most detrimental to the interests of the country, for no earthly object except that of cutting their own throats and playing' the game of their political opponents. If Berries had announced his intention of adopting the scale of timber duties which he opposed in 1831 ; if Goulburn had come for ward with a proposition for allowing the introduction of fo reign sugar ; if reel had startled the House by moving for a Committee to re-consider the duties on Corn ; there would indeed have been good ground for the imputation of sacrificing character and consistency to a political manoeuvre. But as applied to the present Government the imputation is ridiculous. When were Lord John Russell, Mr. Labouchere, or Mr. Baring other than advocates of free trade principles? Whoever doubted that, if circumstances should force upon a Government in which these gentlemen occupied a prominent posi'ion, the alternative, a reform of the tariff would he preferred to the imposition of new taxes ? With a Liberal Government, the only question could be, to what extent they would have the resolution to act lion their own recorded senti ments. So much for the wretched stuff about the Government having been driven, in a fit of despera tion at their recent defeat, to throw out a revolution ary firebrand: In the first place, so far .from being a revolutionary firebrand, it is emphatically a practical measure, brought forward to accomplish sober and prac tical ends —to make good a large deficiency of the re - venue, without imposing fresh burdens on the nation—to steady and equalize the importation of foreign corn, and make it subservient. to purposes of revenue—to afford the labouring and middle classes of the country the benefit of lower and less fluctuating prices in some of the principal articles of consump tion—to save the important market of the Brazils for British manufactures, and ward off the prospect of adverse commer cial legislation in the United States and the German League. It is a measure brought forward in accordance with the ex pressed wishes of the manufacturing and commercial interests of the country—a measure upon the policy of which merchants and manufacturers of all shades of political opinion are united, as witness the petition from the City of London, signed by 238 leading firms, with the Conservative name of " Horsley Palmer" at their head. In the next place, so far from being a sud den inspiration on the part of Government, it is in ac cordance with principles resolutely struggled for for years and years by its principal Member. But, once for all, we will have done with all party recrimination about the measure. Here it stands, and the only question for the country now is, whether they like it better than the inevitable alternative. For ourselves, and for the advocates of free trade principles throughout the country. there cannot be a doubt what course to pursue. The principles for which we have always con tended being fully recognised, we will not stop to cavil at de tails. Upon the all-important question of the Corn-law, we will be content to take it for granted from the complexion of the Ministerial meassire, and from the language of the Chan cellor of the Exchequer and the President of the Board of Trade, that the " moderate fixed duty" announced by Lord John Russell will be one calculated to satisfy the just expecta tion.: of the country, and to command its support. TIMES.—" Blow," Ministerial journals, "and crack your ' cheeks !" Agitate agitate, agitate Invoke the evil spirits of revolution and discord—get up a great crisis, if you can. Dreadful as may be the pother you keep over our heads, it will not do—we tell you again, it will nut do. All that you can accomplish is to prove—what no one ever doubted—the wickedness of the game which your masters have resolved upon playing. As surely as " the burnt child dreads the fire," the working classes of England, smarting under the oppression of the new Poor-law, will stand aloof from any agitation, the ob ject of which is to keep the authors of that law in office. In the present instance that object is not disguised. It was not till after they had been twice disgracefully beaten in the House of Commons—it was not till their reten tion of place without recourse to some sudden and extraordinary expedient had become a matter of evident im pos-ibility,—that Ministers thought of announcing any project for the alteration of the Corn-laws. Who can fail to see that the peculiar features in the present. state of affairs, which have forced the Whig Cabinet to adopt what Lord Melbourne de signated as the principles of a madman, are their own impend ing expulsion from power, and the unconquerable hostility of the people to their favourite measuse—the New Poor-law? The mischief and the peril, which, at this time of all others, Lord John Russell fears, are the effects which may be felt in Dcwning-street and at Somerset-house from the late divisions on Lord Morpeth's Bill and from Mr. Walter's election for Nottingham. To prevent misconception, we think it necessary to say, that we do not mean to argue the question of the Corn-laws at all upon this occasion. We adhere to all the ()Anions which we have formerly expressed open that sub ject ; but we are very sure that no advantage can come. or is iteeniled to come, to the country from the proposition of Lord John Russell. Good cannot ensue from an attempt to stimulate into ferocious conflict the mutual rivalries of the agricultural and manufacturing interests; nor is it in the at mosphere of strong political excitement that important com mercial changes can be rationally discussed or deliberately a ju-ted. We protest.. also against the fraudulent delusion by which it is attempted to practise upon the credulity of the working man, and to persuade him that the benefit which may arise from the admission of foreign corn will be suffered to find its way into his pocket. If this were so, we should hear very Ihtte of the Corn-law grievance from its most active opponents, the hierophants of the political economy school, and the ovi r-grown cotton lords. The current complaint, that the Corn-laws raise the price of labour so high as to disable our manufacturers from competing with those of toe Continent, would have no meaning if it were not certain that the rate of wages would fall in the same ratio with the price of bread. The labouting class, who know what and who these anti-Coin-law agitators are, will be able to judge, from their conduct on the Factory quesion, and upon the Poor-law question, whether they are likely, in their anxious efforts upon this or any other subject, to have any interests in view except their own. HERALD.—That Ministers contemplate a speedy, though it may not be an immediate dissolution of Parliament, is a matter upon which scarcely any person seems to have a doubt. But, looking to their destitution of popularity in the country, their raggedness of character, and the general contempt which is entertained for the poverty of their talents—the shuffling and tricky style of their policy, and th&ir shameless tenacity of office long after they have lost the power of a Government, people cannot help asking what are these fraudulent and bank rupt Ministers to gain by a dissolution? In the first place, a 'dissolution will put a premature end to the embarrassing and disastrOns.Session of 1841—a Session which has tested their endurance of defeat and dishonour in the most remarkable man ner, and which, it prolonged to the ordinary term, was likely to be to them a source.of still more disgrace and humiliation. 1 hey will thus obtain delay and temporary respite from further punishment, and that is something to men who trust much in lucky events and the chapter of accidents. A Royal demise— an accession—a marriage, and a christening have all helped, at various times, what their evening organ calls the " fortu nate Administration." And if they can only prolong their offic:al existence for six months longer, who knows what may turn up? In the next place, they get rid of Lord Stanley's Bill for the purification of the Irish Parliamentary Registra tion. 'I hey save. thereby, for the present, several joints of the Leviathan boroughrnonger's " tail," who is their main prop, and which voluminous hinder appendage, Lord Morpeth, lately took under his especial protection in vain. His miserable Bill no longer stands between it and the extended forceps of dishonouring curtailment. In the third place, Ministers throw the country into general excitement and agitation. And as agitation has saved the Whigs so often, why may it not save them again? If the Conservatives, howeve , , had acted the part in reference to the i iquitous Whig Poor-law which me always advised them to pursue, they would have removed the strongest argument which the Wh:g partisans have for calling for the repeal of the Corn-laws. We quite agree with the Standard, that these toool thele two laws cannot long stand tegether— e ith er one mus t b e de stroyed or the other.. Let the Conservatives choose between. They can now defeat a sist the Whigs to inflict it on the country for another five years, and thus seal the doom of the Corn-law, and deprive themselves of a mighty mora l power in the government of the empire. POS r.—The Micisteriale affect to b e a ll i n a bl aze o f ex ltisleunh nenw P aw, them r- for and everbind ; or, gratitudetiy can of the masses of E ex citement about the repeal of the Corn-laws. This, like the rest, is mere ti ickery. We scarcely know whether this pant ing, puffing affectation is most ridiculous or most impudent. However, it deceives no one, and ran deceive none but the most drivelling fools. The hireling jobbers would fain per suade the public into a sscond Reform .Bill fever, but it won't do. The trick is not ouly palpable, but stale. L'ut after ail, what can the Ministerial _party do to war d s C orn -l aw repea l ? They can do nothing. They know they -can do nothing. It is because they know that they cannot dcGdreptish the repeal of the Corn-laws, that they venture to andotnee the attempt. If there were the slightest probability of their success, they never would hove dared to announce such :an attempt. Nothing would ov6i-trhelm them with more dismay than the certainty of the accomplishment of that ruin, which they announce their intention of irrip3 to accomplish as an improvement. They are as convinced d.* their opponents are, of the national fully—the " madness" of repealing the !protection on British agriculture—of taking away from British land-occupiers and British labourers the monopoly of supplying the British natisn with earn ; but they venture to propose that repeal because they think it may be m•ide to produce some popular excitement in their favour, and they know it will not be carried. What can be more disgusting than such trickery and such stratagem ? Is it not enough to cause every gentleman who has hitherto supprted them to go into oppoiition, or at al; events, to refrain from any longer giving his su:port to the Melbourne and Russell Administration. We are happy to have it in our power to slice that several gentle nen who have hitherto supported Government, have since Saturday in timated no little disgust, and a determination not to support the resolutions of which the stupid Chancellor of the, Exchequer has given notice. We therefore feel the utmost confidence that Ministers will be beaten upon the Budget question. Pro bably they have reckoned up in this, and then expect L to go to the country under • the favourable -circumstances of an Anti- Corn4aw excitement. But the public will nut be thus de ceived.. The public will look upon them as a set of beaten tricksters, who have shown themselves to be destitute of sin cerity, and are therefore totally unworthy of, trust. MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS.

We have also pointed out that the prohibitory duties exacted by our ti , cal laws on the importation of foreign products, more especially on corn 'and timber, had compelled the inh thirants of the Conti nent to become manufacturers in self •defence. The result is, that our export trade of manufactured goods has seriously dimi nished, and the Directors of the Bank of England have been kept in a constant lever of apprehension at the prospect of the weekly report on Exchange days. One of their chief duties has been to study atmospheric phenomena, in a vai❑ efirrt to gather foreknowledge of the seasons, and to be able to form early comet tures as to the character of each approaching sea son. This state of things has been attended with frequent panics in the Money Market, and commercial vicissitudes pro duced from a consequent change in prices. But the policy of the Government, as now told fa'rly to the country, will speedily relieve the Bank of England from this cause of alarm. The month of June will no longer be a month of fear• with the •Bank Directors, for the balance of trade from the vast impulse given to our exports will keep the exchanges in our favour, and the bullion will flow back to the Bank coffers. England wilt open an account on a wide scale. She will deal with all the earth, and will buy and sell freely with all nations. It is in vain for the Tories to say that other countries will not reciproc rte with us when we open our ports to their pro duce. T .ke the case of Prussia so far back as 1825. The Prussian Government, through Baron Maltzahn, proposed to conclude a treaty of reciprocity with this country for eighteen years, on condition that the British Government would allow the importation of Prussian corn, subject to such duties only as should nut exclude the possibility of carrying on that trade with a reasonable profit, and that greater facilities should be allowed for the importation of Prussian timber into British ports. That offer of reciprocity was met by a direct and positive refusal from the British Go vernment ; yet the Prussian Government, in 1836 and 1839, still expressed their willingness to negotiate for the same pur pose. This point is placed beyond cavil or conjecture. The papers laid on the table of Parliament prove the fact that Prussia has repeatedly offered to negotiate on the principle of taking our manufactures on a moderate ad valorem duty, pro vided we would receive her corn and timber on reasonable terms, and that this offer was negatived by Great Britain— yet Prussia still expresses her readiness to negotiate for the same object, and now the free trade policy adopted by the Government says we will meet you in the same spirit. The lowering of our tariff will open the whole Prussian commercial union, with a population of twenty-six millions, as a market for our manufactures. Dr. Bowriog remarks, The tendency of our commercial legislation since 1825 has no doubt been towards free trade, and in the extension of our relations with the world we find the justification and the reward of our policy ; but I venture to suggest that the time has now arrived in which the state of intercourse with foreign nations demands a general revision and lowering of our tariff, and that such re vision would be much facilitated by the existing friendly dis position on the part of several of the European Governments." The importation of timber to the United Kingdom from the different German States exhibits a yearly decline of duty from 1820 to 1838, notwithstanding the gr.iwth of our popu lation, The average for the years 1829 to 1833 is 430,455/. duty, anti from 1834 to 1838 427,4551. _ The funds have been flat to-day, and C.lnsols for the Ac count hare given way per cent. on the closing quotations of Saturday. HERALD.—The gloomy exposition of the financial con cerns of the country conveyed in the budget of the Chancel!or of the Exchequer, is operating its natural effects upon the funds, the rates of which are on the decline. Commer cial operations appear to be as much unhinged by the loose propositions of changes in duties on sugar anti timber, with the probability of other changes also, as stocks. ness has been extremely dull and unsati.factory both in Mark-lane and Mincing-lane. It may be safely asserted that there never was a period when mercantile men were so much at fault how to shape their course as now, not from the common casualties and fluctuations occurring frail some un 'mat disturbance in trade arising out of causes which at. inter vals effect revolutions to a certain degree in commercial affairs, but from the announcement of extensive alterations in the fiscal system to be shortly enacted, with others of a m,.re sweeping character still well understood to be in prospect. No man therefore knows how to take his measures or conduct his business, since the ordinary standard by which commerce is shaped is entirely deranged by the fiscal alterations already proclaimed and others well understood to be in contemplation. POST.—.Money was particularly scarce to-day. Loans upon the deposit of English stock could not be procured at less than 5 per cent. ioterest, and the transactions were conducted altogether with the view, as they were generally intepreted, to a change in the Administration, and an early dissolution of Parliament, on which points numerous reports are in circu lation. _ _ In the American papers brought by the Acadia steam-ship from Boston and Halifax, are two long letters by Mr. N. Bid dle, on the affairs of the United States Bank. Mr, Biddle en deavours to extricate himself from the charges brought against him by the Committee who have been lately sitting in judg ment upon his conduct, as former President of the institution, in common with that of others. His defence is considered more ingenious than conclusive. The object is to prove that the In's tortunes of the Bank have their origin in a period posterior to that in which he was the principal manager. the corrupt practices sl fatal to its credit have, however, certainly been going on from the year 1835, and Mr. Biddle withdrew, we think, only in 1838 or 1839. TI M ES.—The questions connected with the Budget still press heavily on the Consul-market, and on the day's business there is a decline of a quarter per cent. It will be satisfactory for the public to know that the Com missioners of Sewers considered the projection of the San- Fire-office at their meeting last Tuesday, and directed their solicitor to take the ground on which the projection stands under the statute well-known as Michael Angelo's Taylor's Act, while at the same time the' Royal Exchange Com mittee directed their solicitor to proceed by injunction, a question having risen whether even an indictment for nui sance might not have been framed. Several interviews, however, took place between the Governor of the Bank, Mr. Cockerell, the Bank surveyor (who is architect of the Sun, and all parties concerned in the affair, and the result of that negotiation is, that the Governor proposes to cut an angle to the extent of 10 feet off the projection, and the works stopped on Friday. Now, the effect of this conees4on wou'd merely be, that a turneated figure would be presented to the eye of the public, instead of a sharp angle, and nothing what ever is conceded which would restore the line of demarcation originally proposed, and on the preservation of which all beauty and symmetry depends. It is perfectly absurd to suppose that the City will be satisfied with so miserable a concession as this, or indeed with anything less than the restoration of the line. The Bank committed a gross error in allowing the improve ment to go out of their hands, and they are now bound to see that every reparation is made. In advocating an alteration of 'Change hours, fir which many correspondents assign excellent reasons, the relief to the clerks is not to be treated as of less consequence than that of their employers. To bring that part of commercial business to a close an hour earlier would be, as a correspondent justly and feelingly remarks, a kind of emancipation to a numerous and hard-toiling part of the community, many of whom are seldom favoured with "a clear view of the sun or the face of nature throtighout the year." The interval from three to fuer o'clock is the idlest part of the day, and if appropriated to the Exchange business, would leave time for the writing of letters and all other business that arises out of it without hurry or confusion. Formerly merchants dined before going to 'Change, which gave some sort of propriety to the lateness of the hour ; to continue it, now that the practice in that respect has so universally changed, appears perfectly unreasonable and absurd. A correspondent, adverting to the effort of the Scotch bankers to protect their own interests from encroachments by any act of the Committee of the Rouse of Commons, points out as ore of the consequences of their small note circulation, the advan tage given to the Scotch manufacturers over those of Eng land, an evil which has generally been kept out of view is all yi i t l h b that former discussions on the subject. The effect is, as he re marks, " that production and overtrading are stimulated in Scotland to a fearful extent, and the English markeis are deluged with their commodities, to the injury of their English competitors, who are necessarily denied, under the hard money system, those facilities by their bankers, which are readily afforded by the Scotch bankers issuing It.

Throughout the day the Stock Market was in a very weak condition, and no improvement occurred up to the termination of business. The immediate cause of this alteration appears to be, first, that money has all at once become in increased de-' rand, under the idea of a dissolutiOn of Parliament being probable, when, of course, large sales of stock must be eff..eted, in order to carry on electioneering contests, which, from the state of parties, there is every reason to believe would be more severe than for some time past. Whether, as is partly hinted in some quarter:, Government, until it obtains some relief to its Exchequer by the establishment of new duties, is indebted to the Bank of England for temporary aid, it is not easy to as certain; but no doubt (and unquestionably it is proper) the Directors in their corporate capacity will facilitate the efforts of the Ministry in restoring the finances of the country to a more satisfactory condition. Consols for Money opened at 89/ to 90, but lett off at 89a to 891. For Account the highest price w.ts 90, the lowest 89/, and the latest 891 sellers. Exchequer Bills fell to 13s. and 10s. premium ; India Bonds remained at to 4s. premium ; Bank Stock was 167 to 166, being a further decline of 1 per cent. ; and India Stock 2522 to 251, or Qs to 3 per cent. decline. The New Three-and-a-hale per Cents. were at 98i to 981, and the Three per Cents. at 881 to 88a. 7, In Foreign Stocks and in Railway Shares there was very Ppicig sd. little business done, and th 4 ten 4 . ,-cted were at redt:Cll rates.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. THE HIPPODROME RACES. _ _ The first meeting of the season commences this day under the stewardship of the Duke or Beaufort and the Hon. Captain Rous (one of the stewards of the J. C.) with a list which is strongly recommended by the liberality of the additions made to each stake by the proprietor of the establishment, the amount given toWarda the two days sport being no less than '2OOl. 'this sum, larars as it is, appear,: insignificant when comparel with the ;ri leelq bonuses announced for future meetings, and of which the bilto:y of the turf can furnish no parateL The attention of the prorrietor has not been con fined to the single item of 'sport ; he has been equally lavish in his expenditure on the course, which, from the immense quantity of tan spread vivo it during the winter, has been brought to state of perfection calculated to remove all the ob jections formerly raised to it $' the proprietors of race horses. Extensive alterations and improvements have been completed in the stabling, and wit hin the iticiosure, appropriated to weighing, saddling, &c. ; a grand or betting stand has been erected, which commands an excellent view of the runnings, and provided with a spacious refreshment. room ; the office of caterer has been intrusted to Mr. Careless, whose experience at the Epsom Grand Stand cannot fail to have made him au excellent judge of the public taste in thesematters. With a double object of attracting company of a resperatable grade, and of obtaining something of adequate return for his enormous expenditure, the proprietor has raised the price of admission to the ground, the charges, as recently advertised in this and other papers, being half-a-crown for foot ca.3sengers, five shillings for horsemen, and for carriages .in pro portion. A large body of the police will be iii atteni/tnee each day, and extra gates opened to prevent the inconvei,:i ence which would othervri,e arise.

(Fnon A CORRESPO/M" T ') A public meeting was held its the popul, us and manufactur ingm. village of Watrrhead - mill , near Oldha'. lasr Wednesday evening, called by a requisition of the pritt ei c ar inhabitants, Tories, Whigs, Radice's, and Chartists, for the a:We purpose. Mr. John Lees, cotton.manufacturer , in the Chai r. The meeting was numerously attended. It had b, ' en pre viously understood that a party of the Chartist ugh atm is from hlarchester would attend to upset the meeting. SIXtTal of the Chartist leaders of Oldham and neighbourhood -were there: to support the views of the requisitionists. As a first move ment of the obstructives or anarchists, they proposed a .noisy fellow to the Chair; however, the motion was lost. The friends of the inecting. many of whom are Chartists, but will ing and ensious to better the condition of their fellow'-Yuen, spoke admirably, exposing the . pernic ious effects of the Corn lees on the lahoin4sg population, the total ruin of the •.rritruly anu f rcturers, and the baiefaced wickedness of the system, depicting the distress they were occasioning, and the certainty of their producing a terrible convutsian in the country' if not uttered. The small clique from Manchester, and one or two other renegades, uttered a mass of the greetest absurd ides. They fell on the master manufacturers with every reproachful and abusive epithet, and endeavoured to excite in the minds of the working classes the most bitter animosity against em ployers, against Government, and against p ro p ert y p eo p le In de eed there was no bounds to the violence of their langu age. They worked, what would otherwise have been an orderly meeting, into one of turmoil and uproar ; however, on the nele tion being put, the Chairman declared the petition for thee repeal and revision to be carried, on which an indescribable' confusion ensued, and the chairman vacated the chair. It is but justice to say that most of the leading, virtuous, and intelligent Chartists in the neighbourhood , by the erns dour and reasoning powers they displayed on this oceasien,, won the esteem of even t):6Y^ who differed from them in polities. The rabble of prowling paid orators, vise live out of the misery of our cour.try, were mostiy supported by more un i thinking tans from twelve to eighteen yesn's of age, and those not many. Let the Toner beware how th,'Y use such instru ments ; their principles go to sap the founda:ions of civil so ciety, and prepare men for desperate deeds. DARING BIJRGLA_II.Y. A daring outrage, and similar to that recently committed at Bexhill, which excited 30 much alarm throughout the whole county of Sussex, was perpetrated en Monday last at the resi" Bence of a farmer named Bayman, residing near '(ring, on the borders of Herts, in the county of Bucks. Mr. Hayman e l Ad. His family retired to rest at their usual hour, and about one* o'clock on the Tuesday morning, they were alarmed by a noise as of sonic person being in the house, and immediately after wards, three men with their faces blackened nailed it go Mr. Batman's bed-room. He jumped out of bed, when the first I man, who hat a lighted candle in one hand, 'and a pistol iu the other, presented the pistol at him, and threatened to blow his brains out if he did not be quiet and give up his matey, and they then forced him on the bed, and with the most dreadful oaths, declared they would murder him if he did not gives them I money. Mr. Bayman, finding resistance to be hopeless, gave the villains ten sovereigns and souse silver, and one of arm stood guard over him while the two ° eters proceeded to the bed-rcom of Miss Bayman, .he. daughter of Mr. Bayman, of whom they demandatt money, and upon her telling them she had not got: any, they used most horrible imprecations, and broke open every box and drawer in the room, in the expectation of find ing some money. The ruffians then proceeded to the lower part of the premises, and for nearly two hours they were em ployed it, raleacking the house, and when they had packed up a quay City of valuable teoperty, consisting of wearing apparel, silver spoons, watches, &e.. they again went to the bedroom of Mr. 13ayman, and one of the men produced his gun, which he had brought from the lower pirt of the }lessee, and loaded it in his presence, and told him that they would fire it off as a signal when they had left the prem'ses. And they told him that if he went down stairs. or gave I any alarm before the morning they would return and rnitrdet hint. The villains then decamped ; bur Mr. Baymsn anti th e family e ere so alarm , dat their threats that they did not s ;se down stairs until o.aylight, when they found every drawer wed cupboard had been forced open, and a quantity of valuable pr. perry abstracted. Mr. Bayman then gave information cof what had occurred, and Ashby, the constable, of Trine, hr .- meeiately made inquiries in the neighbourhood, and barb ig ascertained that three men, , ach carrying a lirge bundle, b ad been seen going in a direction from the neighbourhood wh ere the rolebe-y had been committed to Chest - eon, he obtained the assistance of an thcr constable, and proceeded in pursuit, and upon going into a public-house near Aston Clinton, they found three men answering the description of the thieves, and they took them into cusi ocly,and found nearlyseven pounds in gold and silver, and several articles of the stolen property in their possession. The next day they were taken before Sir John King, a Magistrate for the county of Bucks, when they gave their names David and George Allice, and John. Reeve, but the latter is well known by the soubriquet of " Gipsy • Jack." The above facts were then given in evidence, and Mr. Bayman also stated, that although the men's faces were black , enel and otherwise disguised, he had a good opportunity of observing their features, and he swore positively they were the parties who had acted as he described, and he likewise identi fied the articles found in their possession as being part of the st , len property. After a long investigation, the prisoneis, who merely denied the charge, were fully committed to tate their trial. DEFALCATION OF OFFICIAL ASSIGNEES. — It is the duty of Government to provide an effectual preventive against a repetition of these injurious frauds, no suggestions can be snore pertinent to the question, or better deserving the most serious attention not only of the Government, Lut every merchant and tradesman in the kingdom, than those• coniained in the Sixth Edition (which is just published) of Mr Jackson's Check Journal," in an article " On the most effectual means of preventing and detectieg Forgery, Fraud, an I Embezzlement in Cash and Bill Transactions," &c._ _ ..... _........,...................,......... , FRIGHTFUL SUICIDE.—Atoung man of fash ionable appearance applied about four o'clock on Saturday after noon to the keeper of the column in the Place Vendome for permis•iou to go up, but was informed that being alone it was not allowable. He was turning away, when a party of visiters came with the same intention, and as this removed the ob jection, he ascended with them. While the rest were engaged in admiring the view from the gallery he seized an opportunit , got on the rails, and in a moment threw himself headlong It.: tae ground. When taken up, and carried to the quarter*. °l' the Etat-Major on the place, he was perfectly lifeless , h avi l fractured several of his limbs, and received other mortal !tt juries. He had neither papers, cards, nor any other thing about him by which he could be identified. INQUEST.—An inquest was tield by Mr. W .

After seven the thunder subsided, but the sky still continued to gleam with remote and vivid lightning, and the rain fell in torrents until towards eiiht o'clock, when it cleared up, and the atmosphere became deliciously fresh and cool—the morning having been somewhat sultry, although there had been a copious till of rain during the three or four preceding days. During the entire evening there were indications of distant storms in several points of the compass--the sky sending forth the most intense flashes in very opposite directions, unaccom panied by any report whatever. A little after midnight, however, the inhabitants were aroused by a terrific peal, which appeared to burst immediately over the town, and was succeeded by a soaking shower of rain, which conti nued more or less copiously until the dawn of day.

BARON GURNEY. SMITH V. LIVERMORE. The action was brought by Mr. Smith, an independent gen tlemen, to recover from the defendant, a broker living at Chel sea, a sum of money, which the plaintiff alleged had baen un justly subtracted from the produce of a sale which defendant had effected under the authority of a levy for rent. It appears that the defendant had been employed to execute a levy fur an arrear of rent, amounting to 1461. After taking possession of the goods of the tenant, consisting mainly of flowers, roots, shrubs, and other matters belonging to a nursery garden, with the addition of a horse, the defendant. caused a valuation to be made of the whole property, which amounted to 681. The articles, however, at the sale only produced 381., out of which sum the defendant deducted 221. odd for expenses, thus leaving a balance due to the landlord of 161. Against some of the charges the plaintiff demurred, and brought the ac tion with the view of compelling tita defendant to establish his right to make them. Amongst other items ob jected to was one under the head of commission on the amount of the levy. '1 hat item was 61. 2s. In reference to this charge the witnesses, Mr. Greaves and Mr. Ceely, who were called for the plaintiff, stated that it. was one which was not recognised by the trade, and that there was no custom or rule among the respectable portion thereof which sanctioned a demand of the kind uneer such circum stances. Several brokzrs, en the other hand, who gave testi mony in support of the defendant's case, sae% that. the custom, with them, was to charge five per cent. on the first 1001 and two and a half per cent. on the second 1001., this commis sion being chargeable on the amount for which the levy was executed, even though the sale of all the property might not realise anything like that sum. Mr. Baron GURNEY, in leaving the case to the .Jury, sa'd that actions of this sort had generally come into a Court of Law at the insttnee of the tenant, but here it appeared to emanate ,with the landlord. The question was one of the greatest im portance to the ,public, but most especially so to that class of persons whom it more particularly affected. It was impossible for the Jury to give too attentive a consideration to the point which had started up in the course-of the trial. Here was a levy executed on arrears of rent amounting to 1461. The broker hid then set to work to value the property, and that value he had put down at 681. Next had come the sale, and there the very articles which that person had estimated at 66/. had brought but 381. ; and ultimately the broker had sent in a bill of expenses consequent on the levy, to the enormous extent of 221., therel“ leaving to the landlord, whose claim had been i=161., the very small sum of 161. It really was abominable to see the way in which a' broker would run up the costs, and this.charge for commission appeared to him to be based on the, most monstrous principle. It had been proved by , the respectable witnesses for the plaintiff, that a fair and rea- Sellable' charge for merely making the levy was usually consi dered to be one or two guineas, dep7ndent of course on the peculiar nature of the trouble such levy induced on the party. He must, say that he thought such a method of charge honest and reasonable, whilst the plan of charging a commission, and that, too, not on the amount realized by the sale, but on the full amount of the arrears, he could not but regard as beinghighly dangerous, and one that ought on no account to be admitted or sanctioned by that or any other Court.. If they entertained similar views in reference to that question, the Jury would find for the plaintiff 101. ss. The Jury, after a short consultation, returned with a verdict I for the plaintiff-101. ss. damages. TO SHIPPERS, OWNERS, CAPTAINs, and OTHEIts. Copies of Testimonials, Gratis, by all Agents.

The Work which is now presented to the public is the result of very extended experience in a class of diseases and affec tioh.s, which for some unaccountable reason have Leen either altogether overlooked, or treated with apathy, and almost in difference, by the e• dinary practitioner. To enter into the details of these affections, to point out their causes, and to mark the terrific consequences, social, moral, and physical, which are sure to follow from indulgence, in certain habits, would be entirely out of place in an advertisement. We have no hesitation, however, in saying that there is no member of society, by whom the book will not be found interesting, whe ther we consider such person to hold the relation of a PA RENT, a PRECEPTOR. or a CLERGYMAN. Messrs. CURTIS and CO. are to be consulted daily at their residence, No. 7, Frith-street, Soho, from Teo till Three, and Five till Eight in the Evening; and Country Patients are re quested to be as minnte as possible in the detail of their cases, —as to the duration of the complaint, the symptoms, age, ge neral habits of living, and occupation in life of the party ; the communication mos* he accompanied by the " usual Consulta tion Fee of 1/.," without which no notice whatever can he taken of their application ; and in all cases, the most inviolable secrecy may he relied on. TATTERSALUS—YEsTErtnAy. The Chester Races had a slight effect on the attendance, which comprised nearly all the principal subscribers to the room. The Derby betting was tolerably bri-k. and underwent. one or two altrra'ions that could scarcely have been antici pated from some of the Newmarket quotations. Ralph and Coronation stood in the same relative positions as at the close of last week, but were in favour at improved prices. Prince Caradoc was also in demand at less odds, and had rather the call of Van Amburgh, agait,st whom I 1 to 1 was betted by two or three parties. The grand feature, however, of the betting was the retirement of Ros the c., which was so rapid that having opened at 12, be closet at •l 3 to 1 ! Having seen him rally so often we will not say that he is quite " gone," but assuredly his aspect at present is vet y unpromising to his ba , :kers at 9 and 10 to 1. We quote Ma• shat Souk's price with some he4i tation. 13,14, and 15 to I were offered early in the afternoon, hilt after the heavy bets between him and Scott's two outriders he was backed at 12 to 1 in good quarters ; subsequently 13, 14, and 15 to 1 were again volunteered, and at the latter figure we have felt it our duty to fix his price; but it is proper to state that such odds were not offered currently. Galaor, Sir Han:, Joachim, Belgrade, Cameleon, Alustapha, and Mongolian had the r supporters, but The Knight of the Whistle and Ile Duke of Wellington were on the decline. The field for this Stake has been shortened by the death of Prussian and En sign, the former died at Newmarket, immediately after pulling up from a trial, ar.d the other at Mitchelgrove, of inflammation of the lungs. The Oaks betting was flat and altogether without interest.
