The PATENT DRY GAS METER has been tested by several London Gas Companies, and the advantages it possesses over the Water Meters are, steadiness of light, working by the slightest possible pressure; and to show that the correctness and accuracy of its measurement may at all times be depended upon, it is only requisite to mention that the Gas Fittings are not injured by the impregnated water with which the Water Meters are charged, and that the severest frost will not effect it; so that the Patent Dry Meter is emi nently calculated to surpass any other hitherto produced.

Among the various disorders of the Mouth, there is none mare destructive than Scurvy, which on first entering the Gums causes them to bleed on the most trifling occasions, and pro duces the most offensive and frequently putrid breath. A soft substance invariably accumulates around the necks of the Teeth, penetrates into the Gums, which gradually Haste away, and the Teeth then become loose, and drop out whole from their sockets, and it is well known that he loss of Teeth arises more from this cause than any other. On this subject a distinguished Lecturer makes the following observations :—" When the disgusting effects of this accumn tion are con.i , ler,ol, it would appear impossible that any per suasion could be necessary to induce persons to obviate so great a nuisance even on their ewn account : or if they are too de based to procure their own comfort and cleanliness by employ tog 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 the smell are alike constantly outraged by the filthiness of some people, who seem to obtrude their faces the closer in proportion o the disgust which they occasion."—Bell's Lectures, p. 199. Could such persons only see the horrid state of their teeth and gums, or for a moment catch the odour of their own breath, they would not hesitate to seek immediate relief. To Professional men, shop-keepers, and tradesmen generally, who have much intercourse with the refined and fashionable world, a good state of the mouth must be of the greatest importance 'Besides, is not an offensive breath, which in nineteen cases out c-sf twenty proceeds from the bad state of the teeth and gums, eery much calculated to prevent the blessing of matrimony ? And how often, from inadvertence or neglect, is the happiness of the imarriage state most grievously interupted by the same cause "' The inconvenieneies attending the Loss of Teeth are too well known to require comment, but to those who have not ex perienced the comfort of Artificial Teeth, Monsieur Le Dray is desirous of showing some of the difficulties more or less en - , dared by every individual without them. When the Teeth are lost, it is impossible to make use of solid toed ; and if the stomach is then loaded with pieces without being masticated, the patient is exposed to the most distressing insligestions, the stomach loses its power of contraction, and becomes weak in proportion as it no longer dige,ts ; besides, when the Teeth ii,re gone, a great vacuum is left in the mouth, which occasions every muscle in the face to be distorted, and the whole features are completely drawn from their original position. To insist on the importance of the teeth, whether in regard to the functions of digestion and articulation, to which they are so essential, or to personal appearance, in which they are so much concerned, 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 ,end associates. _ _ _ Mastification is the first process of digestion, and unless it be duly performed, the subsequent processes can never go on properly. . . . . So essential is this preparatory process, that the neglect of it is sufficient to occasion indigestion, a disordered stomach, ner vous debility, depression of spirits, the skin becomes roulh 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 whole system, which produces an irritable temper, quite foreign to the natural disposition, whereby we become an annoyance to our friends, and a burthen to ourselves. But I need not dwell upon the num berless concomitant evils which may thus owe their origin to imperfect mastication. It is sufficient to know that Monsieur Le Dray's improvements will be found to be many years in advance of any system now in Eu rope, and that artificial teeth are brought to such perfection, at the,Establishment, No. 60, Newman -street, Oxford-street, as to' perform this function in a manner equal in every respect to the natural teeth, and may be used with every comfort. They are so arranged as to restore the face to its former youthful cast, correcting all deformities of the mouth, and entirely doing away with the old system of springs, clasps, and wires. As an essential point of beauty, the teeth must ever stan, pre-eminent. No regularity of features, no brilliancy of om plexion, no sparkling eyes, or silken braids of jetty hair can -ender that lady beautiful, who when she opens her lips ( though they be of coral), discloses a set of teeth irregular or discoloured. On the contrary, even homely features and a sallow complexion are embellished and rendered agreeable by a good 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 tartar, the blackened and denuded fangs, and the taint of the breath, which is a common concomitant of bad teeth, will invariably prove disgusting and loathsome. Regular teeth, white, and free from all extraneous matter, ire an ornament equally attractive in either sex. Those per sons who do not possess this natural advantage, should en deavour, by extreme care and cleanliness, and a timely resort to artificial aid, 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 becoming a - repulsive one.

The Morning Herald, speaking of Lord Morpeth's Irish Registration Bill, says, " the principle involved in its postscript is the principle of Universal Suffrage, thinly concealed attl covered over with a nominal five pound qualification.' The Times contains a leading article on the subject of the New Poor-law Bill, suggested by last night's debate in the Commons, in the course of which our Contemporary expresses regret that Sir Robert Peel should think it expedient to temporize with such a question as that of the Poor-law, and to give even a colourable sup port to the present Government measure. The Morning Chronicle, in an article on Lord Morpeth's Irish Registra tion measure, defines it as a plan which frustrates the in sidious design of reducing the representation of Irel'nd to one vast rotten borough, available for the purposes of Orange ascendancy and Tory tactics. MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS, (MONDAY IiVENING.) C HRONIC L E.—There has been some fluctuation to day in the English Funds, and a feeling of uneasiness per vaded the market, owing to the proceedings of the French Government. Anxiety is 'Also felt to learn something do. finite regarding the finances of this country, and the an swer of Lord Palmerston to Lord Stanley's expected in terrogatory as respects the alleged apprehension of Mr. Mt Leod by the authorities in the State of New York. By the over-land mail from India the letters and papers by which were delivered this morning, we have received the Bombay Price Current of the 26th of December. Cotton was in demand, and the market firm at rather ad vanced prices. The arrivals of opium had been consider able, and notwithstanding that a large portion was in ful filment of contracts previously made, the market was flat, prices having declined 10 rupees per chest. China and Straits produce continued dull of sale, and in other foreign produce there had been very few transactions. We have also received a -file of the Canton Register to the Bth of October inclusive. Her Majesty's ship Cruiser, from Chusan, arrived off Macao on the 6th Oetober,_and delivered her letters to her Majesty's ship Columbine, and immediately proceeded on her voyage- to India, without waiting for letters. The intelligence brought by the Cruizer was, that an Imperial Commissioner was on his way to Canton, invested with imperial powers to arrange amicably the difficulties between China and Great Britain ; and that, " corresponding with his progress," Admiral Elliot was proceeding with the fleet soethward to meet the Imperial Commissioner in Canton, and to commence negotiations for the arrangement of affairs. The Commissioner was expected at Canton about the end of October. " Lin " bad been placed under what the Chinese call " examinators" to investigate his conduct since 10th March, 1839. " Ke shen," his successor, is described as being peculiarly bland in his manners, but as having been an opponent of the opium trade. The demands said to have been made by Captain Elliot arc—apology, indemnification for opium, &c., a possession and an open trade at the northern ports and towns. The subsequent advises from Chusan to the 24:11 October give nothing of fresh importance. Matters remained in statu quo. The casualties among the troops are estimated at ten per diem : they had been housed, or rather hutted. The Cruizer, we perceive, arrived at Bombay about the middle of December, and was to sail immediately again for China, touching at Singapore on her way, having been sent round for the express purpose of convoying Sir Hugh Gouch to China. POST.—The Funds, owYng to the political difficulties in which the country is felt to be involved, and which are giving rise to so much public discussion, have fluctuated considerably. In the horns market the heaviness that existed in the early part of the day was, however, not so apparent some hours subsequently. The cargo of tea imported by the Westtiinster, sunk off Margate, and about which so much stir has been made, was sold to-day at prices ranging between 2s. 9d. and 3s. Bd. per lb., the average being about 3s. 4d. Surprise was expressed at its fetching so high a value, the duty, whatever it may be, having, we believe, still to be added. HERA LD.—Matters remain much the same in the Home Stocks, the dealers generally looking forward with a good deal of anxiety to the proceedings in the Commons this evening, when Lord Stanley into ask his promised questions of the Foreign Secretary touching the state of affairs in the United States, and the arrest of Colonel M'Leod. It is undeniable that considerable excitement prevails in the City about this business, but the apprehen sions lest it may lead to war are lost in the indignation generally felt at this daring outrage upon a British subject. In some of the private letters received by the overland express through India from Macao, it is singularly enough asserted that the purpose of Admiral Elliot was really with a view only to gain time, so as to favour certain mer cantile operations. The writer of one of these letters, referring to advices received there from Chusan, states that " some circumstances and some conversations of the Admiral at Chusan convince me that his views of the can ference at or near Canton, are not for final settlement,, but probablyto endeavour to get out on amicable terms the. teas of the season, and recommence final adjustment next spring near Pekin." The following is the extract from the letter referred to : Mr. King, a partner of Russell and Co., agents for Howqua, and also for Baring, Brothers and Co., went to Canton in an. inside licensed chop boat two weeks since. His letters show the state of the river to be her metically sealed to any large supplies of teas coming down, and that by the Chinese themselves. Notwith standing, I have' many promises from men engaged in the outside trade to ship teas on me at a small, advance of price, where I shall designate. To-day, however, the scene seems to vary—we have no official advices from Petchelee through our own people; therefore what I have to say to you below, you must take upon the evidence that has been produced to my mind by the Chinese, and value it accordingly. I believe it to be certain that an officer from the English Government is at Pekin, and in communication with the great Emperor;—that the Emperor has opened the communication from the Bri tish Government, conveyed to him, and is highly pleased with its tone ; —that orders have been sent down all along the immense coast of China to cease supplying the soldiers with arms and ammunition. We know that on the 25th of this month, the public officers in the employ of the boppe Slid Governor of Canton, did consider the settle ment of affairs betwixt England and China on pacific terms as certain. A curious fact has come out, which it is believed our British officials do not know anything about, and it is this. A strict account of the exact duty levied on every article at the port of Canton has been de manded by the great Emperor from the hoppo of Canton, and the quantities and results. This, we hear, merchants consider to have arisen out of some representation and statement in figures given in by our people to the Empe ror at Pekin, and as we know that not one-tenth of tho real duties have ever reached the Imperial treasury, this comes to be a searching subject of inquiry. It is ascer tained that the demands made by the British Commission 'ors on the Chinese Government did not include any re quest for the repayment of the 20,000 chests of opium de livered over to Captain Elliot." SUN.—There was a large business doing in the Funds to-day, if we go by the number of bargains, though in point of magnitude the transactions were not of importance. Before the termination of business, the quotations had ral lied to about the highest point of Saturday, viz., 88i to Z for Consols for money, and 88k to 89 for the account. There was no political intelligence to influence the value of the Funds, which, however, continue affected by the suspense respecting the intentions of the Chancellor of the Exchequer. The bills were at 51. to 7s. premium. Bank Stock was dull at 164, and India Stock at 246. The Reduced Three per Cents. realized 88i to 894, and the New Three-and-a-Half per Cents. 97 to 971 The Foreign Stocks were quite neglected. Spanish Active Stock was marked 23i to 24k; Portuguese New Five per Cents were at 314 for money, and 314 to 32 for the account ; the Three per Cents, dropped to 19' for money, but were at 20 for time ; Mexican Bonds of 1837, were at 271; Peruvian at 16} to 161 ; Dutch Two-and-a- Half per Cents were steady at 50. The Share Market was more animated to-day. Great Western brought 24 to 241, the Fifths 51 to si; the Manchester and Leeds 1# to 1 ; the New 1 to 11 ; and the South Westean, 18i premium ; Brighton Railway Shares, were at 7 to 71; Birmingham and Gloucester at 191; Eastern Counties at 14i ; North Midland at 25, and south Eastern at 16 discount ; London and Westminster Bank Shares were at 4 prem. : and National Bank of Ireland at 1i discount.

The Derby betting received an impulse from the appearance of a city speculator with several important commissions, and was sustained with unusual spirit until half-past six o'clock. Little was done on the principal favourites, but the offers on the field rose high enough to show a marked decline in Palzemon, who had but a slight call of Coronation. Eringo was backed for a trifle at a falling price, and at the outside, was not more than a couple of points in advance of Cameleon, whose party Would have taken the same odds that were offered against Ralpb. The weight of the business fell upon the Rosalie colt, Knight of the Whistle, and the Duke of Wellington, 28 and 26 to 1 having been taken to four or five‘handred pounds about the first, 26 to 1 three or four times about the second, and 1,000 to 30 and 3,000 to 100 about the Duke. Prince Caradoc was backed at 24 to 1, and improved even on that quotation before the close, but no change was observable in Marshal Soult. The odds quoted be low against Sir Hass were taken twice, and those against Er mengardis several times, whilst Knightsbridge, so fashionable an outsider a few days ago, dropped successively to 2,000 to 25, 2,000 to 20, and 2,000 to 15. The general odds at the close were as follow:--. THE DERBY. 13 to 3 agst Scott's lot 20 to 1 agst All the Mares—taken 18 to I agst Palremon—taken 18 to 1 agst Coronation 21 to 1 agst Eringo—taken 22 to 1 agst Prince Caradoc 25 to 1 agst Marshal Soult—taken 25 to 1 agst Knight of the Whistle 25 to 1 agst Ralph 26 to 1 agst Rosalie colt—taken 30 to 1 agst Mike of Wellington—taken 30 to 1 agst Wahab 33 to 1 agst Sir Hans—taken 45 to 1 agst the Nob b 0 to I agst Ermengardis—taken 50 to 1 agst Nicias—taken and afterwards offered 58 to 1 agst Morning Star—taken 1000 to 10 agst Simonm 1000 to 10 agst Ben Brace—taken 1000 to 10 agst Finchley—taken 500 to 5 agst Mosque—taken 1000 to 8 agst Mustapha—taken 2000 to 15 agst Knightsbridge—taken 2000 to 15 agst Tonquin—taken 1000 to 7 - agst Phaon—taken 1500 to 100 agst Rosalie colt and Wahab—taken 1500 to 1000 on Coronation agst Rosalie—taken 1100 to 1000 on Prince Caradoc agst Rosalie—taken 600 to 500 on Cameleon agst Ralph—taken 600 to 500 on Marshal Soult agst Rosalie—taken 500 even between Palremon and Coronation—taken CHESTER CUP. 6 to 1 agst Bloomsbury—taken 20 to 1 agst Queen Bee—taken NEW STRAND THEATRE. Mr. Jacobs, Ventriloquist, Magician, and English Improvi galore, has taken this house for a short season, and opened it last evening for the display of his wonderful skill in neceomancy and modern magic. The stage is neatly fitted up, with appa ratus and ornaments suited for the occasion ; the house was well attended, and the performances altogether gave great satisfaction. The first part consisted of a variety of tricks with cards, dice, rings, &c., which he managed with great adroitness, and almost equalled the far-famed ‘. Wizard of the North." The most surprising part of the performance consisted of a comic piece called The Landlord at Home, in which he imi tated most wenslerfully the gruff brandy-drinking landlord, his son, in love with the kitchen-maid, an Irishman called Pat Al'Leoney, a Yankee traveller, and three or four other cha racters, changing his voice so effectually and quickly, that a person unaccustomed to these exhibitions must have supposed there were at least ten different actors. This short comedy, for it did not last above a quarter of an hour, gave great amusement, and was loudly applauded. The extempore singing was also good, but we cannot see why Air. Jacobs broke the promise given in the handbills to allow any person to propose a subject. One of the audience called out " the black bottle " for a subject ; but this the improvisatore de . dined, and snbstituted for it Alorrison's pills, which possibly he thought better adapted for his poetical muse. He went through the different subjects, however, with considerable tact and read►ness, and the audience lett at ten o'clock, apparently much amused with the varied entertainments.

CONSTANTINOPLE, JAN 13..—The Divan is very much engaged, and the Allied Cabinets are constantly endea vouring to give good advice to the Turkish Administra tion, and to infuse some energy into it. It is reported in the best informed circles at Pere, that resolutions have been provisionally taken respecting the future ad ministration of the Pachalics of Acre and Candia, which merit a most important influence in those two pro vinces. Both the fortress of St. Jean d'Acre and the harbour of Suda are to be separated from the administra tration of the Pacha, and to have Governors of their own, and regular garrisons of chosen Turkish troops from Con stantinople in the same manner as Belgrade. It is said that the Austrian Cabinet proposed this measure, which has been joyfully acceded to both by the Porte and by all the other Cabinets. Thus the apprehension is at once re moved that England, France, or Russia might at some time or other attempt to obtain extreme power at St. J ean d'Acre, as the different journals have daily affirmed, ac cording to their respective party views..—.A// gme i„, Zeitung, Feb. 2.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. 89, Great Russell-street, Feb. 5, 1841. SlR,—The following extract from a letter of a Manches ter friend may be interesting to your readers, as showing the cause of failure at the election for Walsall, and also the invincible spirit of the Corn-law Repealers. Your's, &c. JOHN EPPS. Manchester, Fcb. 4, 1841. MY DEAR FRIEND, —I have just returned from Walsall, and very sorry lam that we have been unsuccessful. It has been a noble straggle. Never did I see or hear of such enthusiasm upon any subject. It is impossible to describe it. lam confident in saying that nine-tenths of the population of Walsill were for Smith and the abo lition of the Bread-tax ; but a few miserable despots, called Tory factors, having two-thirds of the votes under their control, openly told the voters that they should be ruined !:f they dared to vote for Smith. I can one part of the borough, and can, therefore, testify to these things. But we have done well done what no other men could have done, except their motto had been " Down with the Bread-tax." No one dreamed of any other sub ject but the Corn-law. A Bread-taxer or No Bread taxer? Well, we have been fighting for principle, for justice, for the cause of humanity, and, therefore we cannot be beaten. Twenty-seven votes lost the election, and how came this about? Why, these 27 votes were gained at a village thvee miles distant; tie village being the property of a Tory Bread-taxer. I have no hesitation in saying that this election has done us as much good as all the previous exertions of the League. It has drawn the whole country's atten‘Vnp.. PUBLICATIONS.

This inte-- esting biography comprises every particular relative to Beethoven, with which the musical world and the public generally would desire to be acquainted. His parentage, his musical education, his early attachments, his produc tions, his friendships with distinguished persons, his do mestic circumstances, his troubles, his last illness, his death, are all set forth with great perspicuity. Altogether this work must be looked upon as a real boon to the mu. sical world, for independently of the value of the many re marks on Beethoven's writings interspersed throughout its pages, there must be few persons among the vast number who have listened with delight to his wonderful compo sitions, but mutt feel an eager curiosity to be made con versant with the many characteristic traits and peculiari ties which distinguished this great musical genius. From T. J. Pettigrew, Esq., Surgeon, F.R.S., to Messrs. S. and B. Solomons, 3g, Albemarle-street, Piccadilly, opposite the York Hotel, and 76, King William-street, Bank of England.—" Gentlemen,—l have no hesitation in replying to your inquiry as to the results obtained by the use of your improved spectacles; being in the constant habit •f reading and writing for many hours together by lamp-light, it is but justice to say, that your newly-invented spectacle lenses have afforded me the greatest comfort. When I employed the ordinary pebbles, I never failed to experience in the morning a great irritation in the eyes. Since I hare used your admirable glasses I sutler from no inconvenience of the kind. I shall ever feel grateful to my good friend, Dr. Blundell, for having drawn my attention to the subject. —Believe me to be your's, very respectfully, 'l'. J. Parriouaw, 8, Saville-row, Jan. 4, 18:19."—" M. G. Sir Howard Elphinstone begs leave to say that the Spectacles he has now had some time in use, have fully redeemed the assurance of the Messrs. S. and B. Solo. mons as to their excellence, and having found so much comfort and advantage from their use, far preferable to every other kind of Glasses which he has been in the constant habit of making use of for a great number of years.-13, Norfolk-street, Park-lane, the 6th of November, 1840."

DUBLIN AND DROGIIEDA RAILWAY.—The works of this line are proceeding well, and the Share holders arc exhibiting increasing confidence. Several of thou are paying up in advance, the best proof they can possibly give of their good opinion, and the shortest and most effectual way of carrying out that opinion to their own benefit, DUBLIN.—The Lord Lieutenant has appointed Vent. the Hon.

SINGULAR EPITAPH.—A correspondent has sent us the following epitaph found among the papers of the late Mr. Coysh, schoolmaster, Topsham. Mr. Coysh had been for many years in the navy. He was author of a work on which he much prided himself—" The British Pronouncing and Self-instructing Spelling-book." The date of his death is supplied by the Executors :_. " TOPSHAM.--• By the Grace of God, Here lies moored is peace the hulk of °SORGE COYSII, who was launched into this ocean of misery on the 18th of September, 1781, and who, after sustaining a variety of damage during a boisterous ♦oyage through life, became at last so much impaired as to be rendered unfit for further service, and in consequence of his rotten and infirm state, was in pursuance of orders from aloft, brought to hi, moor ings in this port on the 12th of November, 1840, in sure and certain hope of a thorough refit through him who bath said Because I live ye shall live also.'"—Western Times. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. 11 7 iIkani Murphy was indicted for feloniously cutting and wounding 'llamas Jones, with intent to do him some grievous bodily harm. Mr. Harry appeared on behalf of the prisoner. It appeared that the parties resided in the same house in King. street, Commercial-road; and on the night of the 18th of January the prisoner went home in a state of in toxicatisn and behaved in a very riotous manner. The pro secutor, whose wife was in an ill state of health, went down stairs and b .gged of the prisoner to be quiet, as the inmates of the house wished for rest. The prisoner seized the prosecutor by the collar, and dragged him down the kitchen stairs, at which time he received a violent blow acscss the forehead, supposed to have been inflicted with a candlestick, and which inflicted a wound between two and three inches in length. The prosecutor was conveyed to the hospital, and the prisoner was subsequently taken to the station-house. The RECORDER said he thought the charge of cutting and wounding could not be sustained, but it was evident that a s2rious assault bad been committed. Mr. Horry could not deny the assault, and, therefore, would not occupy the time of the Court by any useless remarks. Several witnesses were called who gave the prisoner a good character for humanity and peaceable conduct when sober. The Jury found the prisoner Guilty of the common assault. The RECORDER sentenced the prisoner to two months' hard labour, and to find bail in the sum of 501. to keep the peace for two years. (Before Mr. Sergeant ARAM.) SHEEPSTRALING.--Tames Anderson, aged 29, was can. vic ted of feloniously killing one ewe, - the p - operty of Thos. Field, with intent to steal part of the carcase. Mr. Sergeant ARABIN said the offence was one of a ♦ery serious description, and one which, he regretted to say, wa; very prevalent in the agricultural districts. With a view to put a stop to such a system, and, as a punishment in the present instance, the sentence was that the prisoner be transported for the term of ten , years. The Court at its rising adjourned to Monday, March 1. SENTENCES. To be Transported for Seven Years—Thos. Brown, Ann Brown, John White, NVm. Price, Fred. Hudson, Wm. Gyvury, John Smith, Wm.

TABREEZ, Nov. 12.—There is little in the shape of news in our quarter of the world ; everything still continues in the road to ruin, and the country is in a very disturbed state, without the Government possessing the means of keeping things in the least order. A short time since a regiment of Scrbaz were returning on leave to their fa. milies at Oroomia, and thinking it were better not to go home empty-handed, they set to work and plundered the villages' that lay on their road, commencing with one not four miles from this town, and which they comp)etcly stripped of everything it possessed, committing, at the same time, every species of enormity on the poor de fenceless inhabitants. The Prince Governor here had not the means of punishing them or putting a stop to their proceedings by force ; he, however, sent a person down to them to endeavour' to persuade them to continue their route and not molest the villagers; but these - fellows having given him a good drubbing, sent him back with a message to the Prince, saying, that if his Royal Highness were himself to come to them, they would serve him in the same way, or something very like it. At the next village where they stopped, they played the same pranks, and moreover made prisoner of a certain Semet ,Khan, the father of their Colonel, and who was coming .up from Oroomia at the time : him they threatened to keep in 'durance vile until he should repay the amount due to them for pay, and which they accused his son of having purloined. Luckily, however, the old man 1111: ,naged to get out of their clutches. What these fellows have done at the other villages on their road, I have not yet learned, but conclude that they allowed none to escape. In Karadaugh, on the Russian frontier, a person of the name of Ady-Giuzel has set himself up as a bandit chief. To all who choose to join him with a horse and gun be 'gives a salary of sixty tomauns (301.) a year, besides a portion of the plunder; and by this means he has col lected together a good many followers, and is committing great depredations, sparing neither the Russian nor the Persian side of the frontier. They say that be has had the impudence to write to the Ameer-y-Nizam here, ask ing him to procure him the title of Khan (noble,) and give him a place for him and his followers to reside in, and in return he promises to plunder only within the Russian territory. " But," ho continues, "if you refuse me what I ask, I shall apply to the Russians, who I know will grant me what I want, and then I promise you I shall sot spare Azerbijou." You can easily con , ceive what a rage this letter put the Ameer-y-Nizam in, and who forthwith despatched Mehty- Kooly-Meerza, with a hundred men, to punish this same Ady-Giuzel, and put a stop to his depredations; but I doubt if he will effect anything, and is, I think, much m ore likely to get a good thrashirm for his pains. At 'Teheran, the Deputy Minister for Foreign Affairs has been convicted of forgery ; the Shah wished at first to put him to death, but spared his life, they say, at the inter cession of the Russian Ambassador. When his Excel lency interceded for Meerza Aly (the culprit's name), the King asked him, how they punished such crimes in Russia, and was told by death. " How, then,n he continued, " can you intercede for Meerza Aly ?" " Because," re plied the Ambassador,. " he ought to be punished accord ing to Persian, and not according to Russian law." " And how," asked the King, " does the Persian law punish such crimes ?" "By taking no notice of them," was the Ambassador's quaint reply, " as it does of every other crime ; witness Hadjee Kerim Khan." This same Hadjee Kerim Khan is a person the Russians tried hard to ruin, but did not succeed. The Ambassador's answer is said to have annoyed the King very much ; and Meerza Aly, although his life has been spared, has not escaped scot-free, for he got well bastinadoed, and is to pay a fine of 30,000 tomauns (15,000 L ) Several carriages which the Emperor Nicholas has made a present to the Shah have just arrived from Russia. RUSSIAN NEWS.—From Odessa a correspon dent writes, on the 10th ult., to the Constitutionnel : " The Crimea is ravaged by a typhus fever which carries off great numbers both of the land end sea forces. Ad miral Lazaref has been obliged to send nearly all the sailors to Nicolaief, leaving only a few at Sebastopol. A letter from Tiflis states that General Rakossowski, chief of the staff of the army of the Caucasus, has been sent to the Shah of Persia to settle the amount of the troops which Russia is to furnish for putting a stop to the brigand age of the Kurds. It is expected the: these Russian corps will begin their march for Persia in April. Rear- Admiral Kazin will, it is said, have the command of the fleet in the Caspian Sea." Tho Emperor of Russia has conferred the Order of St. Andrew on the Archduke Albert of Austria. - • The landowners were offering a premium lately for the best way of making gruel for their hounds,—cheap cottage dishes, where a sack of oatmeal shall unite with water in tho proportion that shall get mo't work out of the peasant bowels that it grates on.

Thompson. We understand that Dr. Patrick APFarlane and the Rev. Mr. Cunningham, have been appointed a deputa tion of the General Assembly's Committee, to proceed to London, to watch over the affairs of the Church.— Greenock Advertiser. THE CORN LAws.—A meeting, convened for the purpose of taking into consideration the question of these laws, was held on Thursday, at the Public Hall, Tauuton. In the absence of Sir T. B. Lethbridge, Bart, and J. Snowden, Esq., the duty of advocating the object of the meeting fell alone upon W. Beaden, Esq., who de livered an effective address in support of the abolition of the Corn-laws to a numerous assemblage, composed of tradesmen, artizans, and working men. Mr. Boaden con cluded by proposing petitions to the Legislature, praying them to take the Corn-laws into serious consideration, and the meeting unanimously concurred in adopting the peti tions.— IVeste, n Times. THE PRESIDENT STEAM-SHIP.—GENERAI, POST.OFFICK NoTictt.—Monday the following not C 3 was posted at the Ship Letter-office, St. Martin's-le.Grand:— " Ship Letter-office, General Post-office. —A ship letter bag will bo made up for New ork, to be forwarded by the President steam-ship.LettYers will be in time until Newspapers will also be sent b y Tuesday (this) eveuiag , this conveyance."

The c Musl . Saloon having been purchased by the Mechanics' Institute, the Socialists are obliged to evacuate it on Thursday next, and we are not aware that they have obtained any other room for their meetings. We suppose th e delude members of this sect, the self-proclaimed " Beasts," to be much reduced in number; their prcceedings attract no public attention, The Music Saloon, after undergoin g ext naive alteralior s and refittings, and being thoroughly cleansed, will be opened for the Mechanics Institute.—Lceds Mercury. , //I ~u~U EVENING EDITION. LITERATURE. MAXWELL' S LIFE OF WELLINGTON. PARTS' London, 1841. These Parts commence with an account of the battle of Vittoria, where, it may be remembcred, King Joseph of Spain was utterly defeated, and all leis military stores captured, together with Jourdan's baton of a French Marshal: zald close with the sanguinary action at Tculouse, which not a few of our Continental neigh bours still firmly believe was won by Soult. These great battles are described with Mr. Max well's wonted animation ; his details, in Rarticu lar, respecting the desp era t e con fli c t a t Vittoria' abound in picturesque touches, such as we so often meet with in Scott's life of Napoleon. " War," he tells us, " has its picturesque, and the open ing of Vittoria was singularly imposing. A wicL , expanse of inch and varied landscape, on which an artist would have gazed with rapture, was re posing in a flood of sunshine. From a gentle eminence in front of Avinez, the whole array of Joseph's army was visible, and on that height the Allied staff were collected. There Lord Wellington was standing, dressed plainly in a grey frock-coat, with nothing to mark commanding rank, except ing a Spanish sash; and the heat and feathers of a field officer. His telescope at one moment wan dered over the extensive position occupied by the enemy, and the next, turned with fixed earnest ness on that point. from whence he expected the crash of battle was to burst." After the battle had been. fought and won, and while the French were in full retreat, the following strange scene was exhibited in the British camp Night was not to the weary conquerors a sea son of repose, fbr property in value and variety such as no modern army had abandoned, pre sented itself at every step, and the work of plun der commenced, before the fire of musketry and cannon had ended. The camp of every divi sion was like a fair benches were laid from waggon to waggon, and there the soldiers held an auction • throug ithenight,anddisposedofsuchbootyashad fallen to their share to any who were inclined to purchase it. Even dollars became an article of sale, for as they were too heavy to be carried great numbers, eight were offered for a guinea." A scene not less sinom, lar was displayed on the field of battle after the French army had retired : "Here," says Mr. Maxwell, " was the peso:onel baggage of a king—there, the scenery and decora tions of a theatre ; and scattered arms, drums, silks, embroidery, and jewels, mingled in the strangest disorder. Here a lady had been overtaken in her carrriage—in the next calash was an actress or fille de chambre ; while droves of oxen were roaming over the field, intermingled with an end less number of sheep, goats, mules, horses, asses, and cows. Camp followers were arrayed in the state uniform ofJoseph's Court; and the coarsest females who accompany a camp, drunk with champagne, and bedecked in silk attire, flaunted in Parisian dresses which had been envied by the denizens of a palace." We repeat, what we have said before, while noticing former Num'lers of this work, that it is incomparably the most entertaining and authentic life of Wellington that has yet ap peared in print. The p .n.t3 alts aud illustrative maps are numerous, and the majority of them are finished off in a skilful and careful Jammer. A DICTIONARY OF SCIENCE, LITERA. TUBE, AND ART. PART I. Edited by W. T. Brande, F. R. S. L. and E. Longman and Co. London. The tide of this work, of which the first num ber has just appeared, sufficiently explains its object, and all we have to do, therefore, is to state briefly how it is executed. Without the ampli tude of the encycloptedia„ or the limited range of the special dictionary, it contains short ab stracts of the principles of the most _popular and important departments of science, lite rature, and arts, together with notices of their rise, progress, and present state. The editor, whose name is so well known to the public, as to be a ,muarantee for the correctness and skill with which the department allotted him is illustrated, announces that no sitatement is made as to any unusual or doubtful matter, without referring to the authority on which it rests, and when sub j3cts of general interest are noticed, the reader is referred to the publications relating to them, which embody the fullest and best information. "The work," lie adds, "was distributed into divi sions or departments, each embracing one or a class of closely allied subjects, and these were sepa rately assigned to gentlemen distinguished by their attention to, and proficiency in, the subjects they embrace. This seemed the most likely means to avoid mere compilation and book-mak ing, and to make the work not only a compre hensive and accurate, but in some measure also an original, digest and synopsis of human know ledge." The department which Mr. Brande has undertaken embraces chemistry, geology, mine ralogy, medicine, and the arts and sciences de pending on chemical principles. Mr. M'Culloch, so well known for his works on political economy, statistics, and commerce, in addition to thesp, en gages also, with the assistance of Mr. Joseph Cauvin, to furnish articles connected with gene ral literature. Botany is allotted to Professor Lindley ; gardening: and agriculture to Mr. Lou don ; and most of the other departments to men eminent in their respective professions. The work, which is beautif u lly p r i nte d , an d ill ustrate d occasionally by engravings on wood, gives th'e derivation and definition of all the terms in ger neral uso, and appears altogether to be arranged with much taste and judgment. Some of the articles are written at considerable length, and most of them contain as much information on the particular subjects as general readers require. The following extracts give fair specimens of the shorter notices : APOCALYSE. (Gr. crr;oxctXvin - tv, I reveal) The Book of Revelations, the last in the canon of the New Testament. Many conflicting opinions have been enter tained as to the authenticity of this book ; but, though re jected by Luther, and neither admitted nor rejected by Michaelis, the opinion of the great majority of critics and divines in modern times has been decidedly in favour of its genuineness. There have, also, been great varieties of opinion as to the person by whom, and the period when, the book was written : but the prevalent opinion is, that it is the work of St. John the Evangelist. Different commen tators hare differed widely in their interpretations of diffe rent parts of this book ; and it is looked on by many as being still a " sealed book," admitting, in the present state of our knowledge, of no satisfactory explanation. The phrase apocalyptic writings is frequently used to de signate those portions of the Scriptures which conta i n pro phetic descriptions, under the form of visions, of the future state of the Church : such as the book of Daniel ; and, among the Apocrypha, the fourth book of Esdras. ALLSPICE. The dried immature berry of the Myrtus Pitnenta; Called also Jamaica Pepper. It is supposed to possess the mixed flavour of several spices, amongst which that of the clove predominates. AMIIUSCADE. A military term derived from the Italian imboscata, concealed in a wood. It is also applied to any snare laid for an enemy. 111STOI?I' OF NAPOLEON. PARTS 24, 25. Tyas, London, 1841. Among the numerous biographies that have lately been published, of the Imperial despot of France, the one before us is entitled to hold, if not a prominent, at least a respectable rank, fur it is copious and accurate in its details, exhibits no decided bias either for or against Napoleon, and is embellished with innu merable wood-cuts, not a few of which are exe cuted in a style that would have done credit to old Bewick. The present Parts relate the event ful circumstances of the Emperor's first abdica tion, his retirement to Elba, and his unexpected return to France. KNIGHT'S PICTORIAL PICTORIAL SIIAKSPEARE, PART XXIX. C. Knight, London, 1841. In this Part we have the entire comedy of " Measure for Measure,') embellished with nu merous plates, t w o of which , " the Moated Grangre"—which furnishes the subject of one of Tennyson's finest lyrics—and the " Sulphurous Bolt," representing a gnarled old forest oak sha* tered tl atoms by a thunderbolt, are of exqui-lf e beauty.

TWO YEARS - - London, BEFORE S TE MAST. mox on, The author of this little work, as we learn from the advertisement, is an American, and he re cords his naval experiences in so simple and truthful a manner, that those who once com mence the perusal of his narrative, will have some difficulty in laying it down before they have brought it to a close. It has, in addition, this great recommendation —namely, that throughout it, the characters of sailors are pour traved in their real colours and proportions, without embellishimi .it or distortion. 19 7 -- . n s of the Boston Union held , at a Board ordered The Penny Magazi n e, The and Chambers' Edinburgh Jo u rnal, T on n e Saturday last, tBotbil:rttalkaYen3finagrea;ju'le r egularly for the use of the inmates of the Union House.—Lincoln Gazette.
