The following are a few of the numerous testimonials this popular work has received, and which the limits of an adver tisement will only allow of being published : The rage for books in all departments of Science, literature, and the arts, was, we believe, never so prevalent as at the pre sent time. The unavoidable consequence of this is, that we meet a very considerable proportion of indifferent, useless, and even bad books. With the force of this prejudice on our minds, we with no little reluctance were induced to peruse Messrs. Curtis's work, entitled ManbDod ;" nor did it re quire much perusal fully to satisfy us that the book was not one of the common stamp. The scientific views taken by the authors of the source and origin of many of the most distressing effects of certain depraved habits, fully establish their claim to the character of experienced and judicious surgeons. To quote passages from the work in proof of our assertion would be departing from the established rules of the daily press. The result, however, of our careful perusal of the work, has been to impress us with a thorough confidence in the talent and skill of the authors, and to satisfy us that those entrusted with the care of youth are not a little indebted to them for fur nishing them with a means of preventing some of the most frightful maladies to which flesh is heir.—Old England. Messrs. Curtis's work, entitled "Manhood," is one of the few books now coming befor the public on such a subject which can lay claim to the character of being strictly professional, at the same time that it is fully intelligible to all who read it. The moral and medical precepts given in it, render it invalu able.—Magnet. The perusal of Messrs. Curtis's book entitled " Manhood," has really astonished us by developing a series of maladies, the never -failing consequence of the vicious habit of which it treats. The clear connexion pointed out between the assigned cause and the effects is perceptible to every capacity. We strongly recommend the work.—Age. The multitude of books daily coming from the press, some, nay most of them, of a very questionable tendency, made us ex tremely reluctant to take up another. Having, however, bent induced by the character given of this work by an intelligent friend, we ventured to open its pages, and now feel no hesita tion in saying that we arise from its perusal instructed and edified. The clear exposition of the source of many of those diseases which proves so fatal to youth, and which are set down by the every-slay observer as the result of common s, exposure to cold . , sudden vicissitudes f tempe issfatcrutclyry7,nivnian,cmi convincing a a n s d m e e x s t s r r e s - . satisfactory," causes, rature such i etl a itary Itvaients,ayB',c4. may s atisfactory. Curtis have shown that many diseases, such as Pulmonary hitherto the opprobria of medi cCi o n n e ummai owhen p taken y in&epr.Oper time, and submitted to judi cious treatment, be brought to as favourable a termination as any other class of affections. We do not think we go too far in - saying that society is deeply indebted to the authors for producing s o us eful, so much wanted, so valuable, and so truly moral a book —Conservative Journal. We recommend the work entitled " Manhood," &c., to the careful perusal of persons of all classes. The moral as well as physical advantages sure to result from such perusal, will be most readily recognised and felt by those who stand most in need of them.—Statesman. Messrs.

F. FERGUSON CAMROUX, Sec. TO NON-ELECTORS. HOW TO GAIN A VOTE, AND USE IT WITH- OUT INTIMIDATION. Every Reformer who is excluded from the list of voters, and does not possess the necessary qualifications to get his name on the register, may as effectually contri bute to the return of a Reform Candidate as if ho had a vote for himself, and that vote was protected from inti midation by the ballot, if he will examine the list of voters, which may be seen at the house of any overseer at all reasonable hours, any day before the 15th of August, and make a note of the name and address of any Tory that appears on the register and is not in every way qualified. He should immediately forward the information, with ground of objection, to some active Reformer or Registration Committee, who will object to him ; and if he is unable to prove himself qualified, will be excluded from the register, the onus of proof lying entirely with the person objected to.. Thus the Tory vote struck off will bo one gained to the cause of Reform, and given as secretly, if not more so, than a vote given by the informant under the protec tion of the ballot. . Surely the thousands in the metropolis excluded from the franchise, and those who have been compelled to sacrifice their consciences, and submit to the most shame ful as well as shameless intimidation, will avenge them selves upon their intimidators, and thus regain the vote their private interest compelled them to give against their own honest conviction. CARLYLE, HALLAM, AND SIDNEY SMITH. —I may say that we have scaled the ladder of evening en tertainments here, going from a six o'clock family tea up to a magnificent concert at L— House; and the tea at this home-like hour was at Carlyle's. He is living in the suburbs of London, near the Thames ; my impres sion is in rather an humble way; but when your eye is filled with a grand and beautiful temple, you do not take the dimensions of surrounding objects; and if any man can be independent of them, you might expect Carlyle to be. His head would throw a phrenologist into ecstacies. It looks like the " forge of thought" it is; and his eyes have a preternatural brilliancy. He reminded me of what Lockhart said to me, speaking of the size of Webster's head, that he " had brains to fill half a dozen hats." Carlyle has as strong a Scotch accent as Mr. Combe. His manner is simple, natural, and kindly. His conversa tion has the picturesqueness of his writings, and flows as naturally, and as free from Germanism, as his own mountain streams are free from any infusion of German soil. He gave . us an interesting account of his first ac quaintance with E—n. He was living with his wife in a most secluded part of Scotland. They had no neighbours, no communication with the world, when he went some miles to a post-office in the hope of a letter of some other intimation that the world was going on. One day a stranger came to them, a young American, and " he seemed to them an angel." They . spoke of him as if they had never lost their first impression of his celestial na ture. Carlyle had met Mr. Webster, and expressed a humourous surprise that a man from over the sea should talk English, and be as familiar as the natives with the English constitution and laws, " With all that priest or jurist saith Of modes of law, or modes of faith." He said Webster's eyes were like dull furnaces, that only wanted blowing on to lighten them up. And, by the way, it is quite interesting to perceive that our great country man has made a sensation here, where it is all but as dif ficult to make one as to make a mark on the ocean. They have given him the sobriquet of the " Great Western," and they seem particularly struck with his appearance. A gentleman said to me, " his eyes open, and open, and open, and you think they will never stop opening ;" and a painter was heard to exclaim, on seeing him, " What a head ! what eyes ! what a mouth ! and, my God I what colouring 1" We had a very amusing evening at Mr. Hallam's, whom (thanks to F., as thanks to her for all my best privileges in London) I have had the great pleasure of seeing two or three times. But this kind of seeing is so brief and imperfect that it amounts to little more than seeing the pictures of these great people. Mr. Hallam has a very pleasing countenance, and a most good-hu moured and playful manner. I quite forgot he was the sage of the " Middle Ages." Ile reminded me of —; but his simplicity is more genuine ; not at all that of the great man trying to play child. You quite forget, in the freedom and ease of the social man, that he is ever the hero in armour. We met Sidney Smith at his house, the best known of all the wits of the civilized world. The company was small ; he was i' the vein, which is like a singer being in voice, and we saw him, I believe, to ad vantage. Ilis wit was not, as I expected, a succession of brilliant explosions, but a sparkling stream of humour, like when he is at home, and i' the vein too ; and like him, also, he seemed to enjoy his own fun, and to have fattened on it.

DARING AND DEXTEROUS FEAT.—The pro prietor of a cotton-mill, situated in the neighbourhood of Glasgow had occasion to have some alteration made theit,op of a towering stalk adjoining the mill, an iron plate in that direction, which interfered with the free egress of the volume of smoke, having got out of posi tion ; and to have thrown up a scaffolding, to repair the damage, would have cost a considerable sum. A slater, however, undertook, for a few pounds, to ascend to the top of the stalk, by means of a considerable number of sharp-pointed pieces of iron, which he drove into the stalk, commenc e i s n e ga dr at the foot,foeri um nstarnd instruments), till proceeding onwards r(occasionally den eached the top. He finished his Herculean task in two days, to the satisfaction of the proprietor, but to the no small terror of the spectators, to whom, it is said, he appeared as a speck in the distance, and who were naturally afraid that he might instantly fall headlong from the pinnacle, and b o dashed to pieces.—Glasgow Argus.

ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. HOME CIRCUIT.—Croydon, August 10. CROWN COURT.—(Before Mr. Sergeant TADDY.) The Grand Jury having been sworn, and H. Kem ble, Esq., M.P., having been appointed foreman, Mr. Sergeant TADDY addressed them and said, after r.)ferring to some of the cases in the Calender, that by successive alterations that had been made in the law. very few crimes now subjected the parties convicted to capital punishmeut, and the Judges were therefore to a great extent relieved from the most painful part of their duty, the sentencing a fellow-creature to death. He hoped that this amelioated state of the law would be found equally efficacious for the protection of life and property, .and though it was no part of his duty to dis cuss that subject, yet he must observe that in proportion to the ameliorations in the, law should be the firmness of Juries and all engaged in its administration. He must say, that hitherto the alterations that had been made had worked most satisfactorily, and he had no doubt that the public would continue to derive advantages from the changes that had been made. The cases proceeded with were, for the most part, unim portant and consisted, in the Crown Court, of 1. J. Nicholls, aged 69, for stealing a piece of bacon.

Yesterday the charge made by Captain Roberts of the Spanish Legion, upon the part of Scott, one of the pri vates who served in Spain, against Alexander Somer ville, for having received and appropriated the instal ments of Scott's pay, was proceeded with before Sir Peter Laurie. It is necessary to state, that on Saturday the parties all attended at the Mansion-house, when several state ments and admissions were made, of which the follow ing is a brief but comprehensive analysis. Somerville said that a violent attack had been made upon him in many of the Newspapers, under the head of " Mansion-house," stating amongst other things that he had absconded. Now he not only was to be found in London, but he had made himself as public as possible, and he sought for opportunities of answering any charges that anybody might think proper to bring against him. Sir PETER LAURIE observed, that if a representation had not been made to him that the defendant had left the country, he certainly would not have listened to the accusation without having afforded the opportunity of refutation. The defendant, however, could take the op portunity of answering the charges, as they had been reported in the press correctly. Somerville then stated that a great number of cer tificates :of soldiers to whom pay was due by the • Spanish Government, had been put into his hands in the hope that he should recover the instal ments, and he believed that Scott's was amongst the number ; but the - disappointments and deceptions, - to which he had been subjected by parties whom it would be improper for him to name under existing circum stances, prevented him from rendering the services con templated by him, but nevertheless did not interfere with his general wish or power to act greatly to the ad vantage of the parties to whom he acted as agent. The delay in the payment of the money due on the certifi cates was occasioned, amongst other causes, by the fact that numbers of duplicates of certificates and of actual forgeries had made their appearance. Captain Roberts said that there were many cases in whieh it was asserted, upon indisputable authority, that the defendant had appropriated the instalments on the certificates, to the dreadful injury of the poor men ; but he applied himself to the case of Scott, which was com pletely tangible in every respect, and in which a forgery was committed evidently with the knowledge of the de fendant, who pocketed the advantages arising from the perpetration of that offence. Scott swore that he never signed the certificate, which however appeared to be signed in his name, without which signature not a far thing could be received, and the defendant most posi tively received the amount as appeared from documents in the hands of M. Castenada, the agent for the Spanish Government. Sir P. LAURE—Somerville, how did it happen that the signature of Scott was to that document ? Somer ville—l can assure you that I never put his name to it. Sir P. LAURIE—But you negotiated the business ? Somerville—Yes. It was stated to me that Scott could not write at all by a party who applied to me on his be half, and I acted for him. Sir P. LAURIE—Then you admit that you received the instalments alluded to in the certificate ? Somer ville—Why, I dare say I did. I was engaged for a vast number, and I have no doubt he was one. Scott here declared most solemnly that he never signed the certificate nor authorised any one to sign it ; that notwithstanding the defendant's assurance that he was always to be found, he (Scott) was informed, upon all the enquiries made, which were innumerable, and amongst the acquaintance of the defendant, that the only account that could be given was that the defendant was gone to America, or some other place distant from these realms. lie likewise mentioned that the distress which the kindness of Captain Roberts sought to alle viate affected him severely, cripple as he was for life, and without the means of bread, after the excessive la bours of the campaign. Sir PETER LAURlE—Somerville will, I have-no doubt, pay you what he received, and return you your certifi cate, by means of which you can receive your future pay. Scott said that was all he wanted. Somerville's state ment as to the duplicates of the certificates had nothing to do with his case, or with the cases of a great number of others. Captain Roberts said that his object was to secure the poor disabled man ; and if the defendant would consent to pay the money received, and give up the certificate, the case should terminate. Somerville then said that Scott, who certainly. was a wronged Man, should on Monday be paid the full atuount of the instalments received, and his certificate should be restored to him, and the parties left the Justice-room. Yesterday Sir PETER LAURIE, upon taking the chair, mentioned that he had received a letter from Somerville, refusing to act as he had promised in the case of Scott, and calling for instant proceedings in a Criminal Court, where he would, for the edification of the public, explode a mine, though he should perish in the explosion. His chief reason for retracting his promise was, that if he performed it, the imputation of having intended to de fraud would still attach to him. He (Sir Peter Laurie) was determined not to be imposed on by such a subter fuge, and he should therefore immediately send for the defendant. Somerville, Captain Roberts, and Scott having ac cordingly made their appearance, Sir PETER LAURIE called upon the defendant to hand over to Scott that individual's money and certificate. Somerville said that if he did so it would be argued that he paid the money to get rid of a prosecution ; and from what appeared in the newspapers it would appear that he deserved to be transported for life, whereas he could prove, that whatever injury he might have done in any particular case, he had accomplished a great deal of good for the general cause of the British Auxiliary Legion. Captain Roberts—Then, Sir Peter, I am ready to go into the charge of forgery in the case of the endorse ment of Scott, by which forgery the defendant became possessed of the money. I have here a list of thirty other persons who complain that he has received their certificates and money. It is handed to me by M. Cas tenada, the agent for the Spanish Government. Sir PETER LAURIE said it was impossible for him to enter into the charge of forgery without having all the necessary witnesses. Did the defendant mean to say that he did not intend to keep to the agreement ? Somerville here hesitated, and stated that the day he had promised to return the money and certificates was that day (Tuesday), at a more advanced hour. Scott—l wish to know whether you will give me up my certificates, and the money you received on them, — yes or no ? • Somerville Well, I will do that ; but I have neither certificates nor money here. I believe you to be a wronged man. I shall settle with you, but it is upon condition that Capt. Roberts will proceed againt me in any case he thinks proper to select. Sir P. LAURIE—The very worst thing I have heard from the defendant is, that I might take this case, in which lie is perfectly aware there are so many difficul ties, to the Old Bailey. Capt. Roberts—M. Castcnada would be here to pro duce Scott's certificate, indorsed " James Scott ;" Wit ness, Alexander Somerville, if he were not busily em ployed in paying off the instalments. I can produce him and other witnesses on a future day. Somerville—lf I were to make any defence to that charge, I should expose many other persons, whom it would not be prudent to expose yet, but who . certainly shall not escape. Sir P. LAURIE—WiII you settle the business now ? Somerville—By and by I will. He shall have certificate and money. I repeat that my defence implicates others, and amongst them are stock-brokers and people who have jobbed in them, the certificates of the unfortunate claimants, to whom I have always acted as a friend. Sir P. LAURIE—Very well. By this day week I shall expect that this poor man's certificate and money • are given up to him. If such should not prove to be the case, Capt. Roberts, you can bring this subject before me in a different shape. FREEMASONS' and GENERAL LIFE ASSURANCE, LOAN, ANNUITY, and REVER SIONARY INTEREST COMPANY, 11, WATERLOO-PLACE, PALL MALL, LONDON.

At an early hour this morning the court was crowded, in the expectation that the trial respecting the validity of the late James Wood's will would at length be heard. At nine o'clock Mr. Justice Coleridge took his seat upon the bench, and the case of Wood, Baronet, and others, v. Thompson, was called on. Mr. Kelly, Mr. Austen, Mr. Butt, and Mr. W. Cripps, appeared for the plaintiff. Sir Frederick Pollock, Mr. Sergeant Talfourd, Mr. Charles Phillips, Mr. Whitmore, and Mr. J. W. Smith, for the defendant. The list of special jurors was then called over, but seven only answered to their names. Mr. Justice Cole ridge then imposed a fine of 501. upon each of the absent jurors, who had been regularly summoned, and for whose non-appearance no valid excuse was offered. Mr. KELLY, for the plaintiffs, then prayed a tales. Sir F. PoLLocx opposed the application. He sub mitted that this was not the case of an ordinary action, but of a feigned issue directed by the Master of the Rolls for his information. The order of , the Master of the Rolls directed that the issue should be tried "by a Special Jury, to be nominated from special Jurors of the said county residing not less than twelve miles from the city of Gloucester." These were, therefore, not or dinary Special Jurors, but Jurors of a particular de scription. There was no provision in the order for try ing the case by any other Jurors. The Court, there fore, could not take upon itself to determine whether any other Jurors should be put into the box to try the cause, and a tales, therefore, could not be granted.` Mr. Kelly, Mr. Austen, Mr. Butt, and Mr. Cripps were heard in support of the- - application. They con tended that the case before the Court was a common law action in the Court of Queen's Bench. The record, the Jury panel, and the venire were all in the ordinary form, and the order of the Master of the Rolls' Court could not affect the statute, empowering parties to a Special Jury cause to pray a tales in the absence of Special Jurors. Indeed, without the statute, there could be no Special Jurors at all. All the powers given by the statute, therefore, applied, as, for instance, the power to fine Special Jurors for nonattendance, which had just been exercised by the Court. As soon as the order for a trial was made. the trial must comprise all the incidents of a common trial. No authority had been cited to the con- trary. Mr.. Justice COLERIDGE stated that he recollected something of the trial of an issue from the Court of Chan cery before Mr. Justice Erskine, at Exeter, respecting the right to certain tithes, and applied to Mr. Butt to state what course had been adopted on that occasion. Mr. BUTT replied that the case was twice tried, that the order was in the common form to be tried by a Special Jury, and that neither party would pray a tales when there was a deficiency of Special Jurors. Mr. Justice COLERIDGE said that his impression was that Mr. Justice Erskine had been of opinion that, un der the terms of the order in that case, he had no power to call common jurors into the box. His LORDSHIP then inquired by what authority a com mon jury panel was annexed to the record in the case, as well as the special jury panel ? Mr. Bellamy, the Clerk of Assize, stated that this was the invariable course adopted in issues directed by the Courts, as well as in ordinary actions. Mr. KELLY stated that he had known several cases of issues directed to be tried by special juries , in which a tales had been prayed, and cited in p articular a cause of Humphrey v. Vivian," tried in Cornwall three times, under an order of the Master of the Rolls, upon all of which occasions there had been talesmen en the Jury. Mr. AUSTEN. on the same side, submitted that there was nothing on the face of the proceedings which could give the Court cognizance of the order of the Master of the Rolls Mr. Justice COLERIDGE said, as to that objection, he should take immediate means to make himself cognizant of the order. Sir F. PoLT..oex was heard in reply. He observed that the cases in which talesmen had been sworn on the Jury, in the trial of issues directed to be tried by Special Juries, were cases in which the consent of both parties had been obtained, and where also there were no special terms in the order. Now, here the defendant refused his consent. If the argument on the other side were cor rect, the plaintiffs could pray a tales as a right, if there was only one Special Ju ror in the box instead of seven ; and how could a trial by one Special Juror and eleven talesmen be satisfactory to the mind of the Master of the Rolls? Besides, the order required not only that the Jurors shall be special, but that they shall be Special Jurors resid ing more than twelve miles from Gloucester. If common Jurors are called as talesmen, they may reside within the town of Gloucester, yet there would be no power to chal lenge them; the order saying nothing as to where the Com mon Jurors should live. The special order of the Master of the Rolls ought to be observed. The order generally is, that the issues be tried, with liberty for each party to move for a Special Jury, and in that case, perhaps, it would follow the ordinary rules of .Special Juries, but it would be most undesirable to try the cause now, unless tried in a manner satisfactory to the Master of the Rolls, because, if he were on that account to direct a new tria,l, the present verdict, though wholly inoperative upon the mind of the Court directing the issue, would embarrass a future Jury in their inquiry. Mr. Justice COLERIDGE, after conferring with Mr. Justice Coltman, delivered his opinion at some length. His Lordship said, that considering the extreme im portance of the trial, the largeness of the property in dispute, the strong feeling which prevailed on the subject, and the expense which the parties had been put to in preparing for the trial, he came with some regret to the conclusion lie had arrived at. The first thing to look at was the probable result of justice or injustice to the par ties hereafter by proceeding to trial at present. The argu ment on behalf of the plaintiffs mainly turned on the point whether his Lordship was bound to take notice of the order ofthe Master of the Rolls, and it seemed to him (Mr. Justice Coleridge) that he ought to look at it. Suppose, indeed, that without looking at the order, his Lordship had ac ceded to the position of the plaintiffs, that all the inci dents of every Special Jury cause attached to the pre sent issue, and that on the prayer of either party a tales had been ordered as a matter of right ; suppose the first common juror called resided in the city of Gloucester ; he could not, on that account, be challenged at common law, but the defendant's counsel would then produce the order limiting the jurors to persons residing twelve miles from Gloucester. So that not a single ep could be taken without the production of the order. Then the order is precise and specific. It was impossible for his Lordship to look into the mind of the Master of the Rolls, and to say that he could have intended to allow that any common Jurors should try the cause. If he had pro posed to allow common Jurors, it was probable he would have stated from what part of the county they also should be selected, but the order was entirely silent on that point. Being of opinion, therefore, that this trial, if it took place, would probably go for nothing in the mind of the Master of the Rolls, and that another trial would be directed, his Lordship thought it would be more just to both parties that the trial should not proceed at present. It sometimes happened that the facts of a case are so little known at the time of a first trial, that a second trial becomes necessary and just ; but unless the case came within that exception (and his Lordship saw no reason to apprehend that to be the case in this issue), in ordinary cases a second trial is not so satisfactory as the first, and it was therefore most undesirable to have a useless rehearsal of the evidence in the cause, which could only prejudice the minds of a future jury. Look ing, therefore, to the ends of justice, his Lordship thought that there should be no tales allowed, and the trial must be postponed. Mr. KELLY then prayed his Lordship to postpone the trial till to-morrow, in the hope of procuring the attend ance of a full Special Jury. This his LORDSHIP declined. Mr. KELLY then offered to try th e cause b y t h e seven Special Jurors in the box, if the other side would consent. Sir P. POLLOCK said he thought the wisdom of our ancestors had properly provided the number of twelve Jurymen for the trial of disputed questions, and he would certainly not take upon himself to upset that provision, especially to try a cause which lie took leave to say . had been most needlessly hurried on at a most inappropriate time. The allusion of the Learned Counsel was of course to the expected decision of the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council on this case on Monday next. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. The Rev. George Proctor, D.D., summoned William Cowley, the driver of a Blackwall omnibus, before Mr. Hardwick for endangering his life and injuring his horse on the afternoon of Thursday last. From the statement of the Rev. gentleman it ap peared that while riding on horseback in Panton-street, accompanied by a young lady, the defendant followed behind with his omnibus, and then, although there was The defendant taken plenty of room, drove past so close that the young lady's horse was pressed against a lamp - post, which most pro bably prevented her from being thrown off. The defen dant, instead of stopping or drawing on one s i de , pu s hed oiiandgraz o e n d efcomplainant'shporrsoeeeedoinngs the flank. were against him, had written a letter begging pardon, &c. The Rev. Gentleman observed he wished the Bench to be as lenient as possible, as his object in bringing the case forward was to ensure the public safety against the drivers of public carriages. The defendant expressed his contrition for what had happened, and attributed the accident to the circum stance of his haVing a jibbing horse, which would not obey the rein. He had not been in any way uncivil to the complainant. Mr. HARDWICKE said he could not listen to the re commendation of the complainant to dismiss the case, d idailynbn lige; Tc o uin i ih ) opportunities co t no u tiu rnibliiutssise,e men hei o nst f hdto w hrui witnessing ec,sevsreli certainly ae g for the defendant that he was driving an unmanageable horse ; on the contrary, that aggravated the offence. e Such was the reckless conduct of omnibus drivers that i mannerlh a excusel , l o e ie 3 s ; pleased, and not consult either the safety or convenience The fine of 20s. was then inflicted. n 'a tl t oy s h d e e n on o t das e e c a k : Not‘of'aStcihlCeellpllkui. WORSHIP-STREET. On Monday two wretched-looking beings, named Ri chard Williams and Ellen Sheen, the former 65, and the latter 51 years of age, were charged before Mr. Bnouen- TON under the following extraordinary circumstances : Sergeant Pcakle, H 6, st a t e d t h at on Friday last about f our teen families were forcibly ejected from the donu- PRICE 5d (Ales they had occupied in Hope-street, Spitalfields, and they had been since compelled to remain, day and night, under one of the arches of the Eastern Counties Railway. The occurrence had occasioned considerable excitement in the neighbourhood, and th 3 ad joining streets had been greatly obstructed by the crowas of persons who had assembled round their place of encampment. He proceeded to the place on Sunday afternoon, for the purpose of preserving order, when he found two boxes placed on the pavement to receive cha ritable donations, and as the prisoners, who appeared to have charge of them, refused to take them away, he con sidered it his duty to take them into custody for the ob struction. The Sergeant produced the boxes, which, he said, were the same as were used by the Chartists in col lecting contributions for the defence of their imprisoned fellows. Two slips of paper were affixed to the front of the boxes with the following inscription : • " Two hundred men, women, and children, at a mo ment's notice, turned into the open air from Hope-street, Spitalfields, being distrained on, and they are now to be seen there, in want of shelter, and of the necessaries of life." Mr. BROUGHTON inquired by whose direction and un der what particular process the ejectment took place ? Sergeant Teakle said that he happened to be passing through the street on Friday morning when the families were turned out. The goods and scant furniture be longing to the parties, and portions of which were broken to pieces, were lying about the street, and a number of miserable people of both sexes were wailing over them. The majority of them were poor weavers out of employ ment, and the distress and wretchedness that the scene presented were truly heart-rending. A policeman, now present, would be able to give the Magistrate further in formation, as he accompanied the broker when he made the ejectment. .. Police constable Spencer, H 92, was called, and in answer to the Magistrate's questions, he stated that on Friday morning inspector Lewis sent him to Hope= street with the broker to prevent a breach of the peace, and he remained in the street whilst the poor families out of 14 houses were ejected. They were all in a most destitute condition ; but the most distressing case was that of a poor woman, who had a family of eight chil dren, one of whom was ill with the small pox. Another woman had seven children, and one of them had been severely scalded. on the same morning. He had been in formed-that both the sick children had since died. The broker promied the woman to procure the admission of herself and family into the workhouse, but he did not know whether the promise had been fulfilled. Mr. BROUGHTON said he was greatly surprised that the police had lent its countenance to such unlawful and tyrannical proceedings, but he presumed that the object for which their services were required, had been misre presented to the Inspector. Tilt, the Usher, was directed by the Magistrate to pro- ceed immediately, and bring to the Court as many of the unfortunate outcasts as he could find. The case was resumed at four o'clock, when Mr. Ash ley, the solicitor, attended to watch the proceedings on the part of the broker and his principal, and Mr. Hunt ap peared on behalf of the aggrieved parties. Tilt informed the Magistrate that several of the poor people were waiting outside to be examined. 4.mongst the number was the woman whose child was tail to have died, but her child was not dead, as reported,' although seriously indisposed. The first witness called was Susan Potts, the wife of a poor weaver, with seven children, who stated that a broker who distrained upon her goods at her last place of abode, recommended her to remove with her family into one of the houses in Hope-street, which was aban doned, and she accordingly did so. She had lived for some weeks in the house, and no application had been made to her for rent, neither had she received any notice to quit. On Friday morning she went to the work house to apply for some relief, and on her return she found two men in the room, who told her to "get out of the house with her goods and children, or they would turn them out." She implored them to allow her a little time, in consideration of her sick child ; but they refused to do so, and she collected her few things and left the place. She remained in the street with her children until night, when they were admitted into an• other house. _ _ A poor man, named Philips, was next examined, and he stated that he had lived three months in one of the houses, and had agreed to pay eighteen-pence a week for his room, part of which he had paid. On Friday morning he went out to seek work, and on returning back he found that his door had been broken open by the broker's party, and the few things he possessed , were scattered about the Court. No notice had been given to him to leave the place. He had passed two nights in the open air. Several other witnesses, some of whom had been ex posed for three days and nights to the late inclement weather, gave similar evidence. . Mr. Hunt questioned the witnesses as to whether the broker - or his Men removed any of the goods with their own hands ; but they stated that they were peremptorily ordered to remove them themselves. Mr. Hunt said that if the answer had been in the affirmative, he should, on his own responsibility, have given the person who removed a single article into cus tody on a charge of felony. Mr. BROUGHTON said, he very much regretted that all he could do, as the case now stood, was to discharge the prisoners. lie had occasionally read of the occurrence of such proceedings in Ireland, but he never conceived that such a heartless and lawless transaction could ever take place in this country; and, although ho could not now deal with the case as he desired, he would, upon ap plication being made, grant warrants against the parties tbr a breach of the peace. Mr. Hunt said, that he would take out the warrants without loss of time, as he was determined to prosecute the parties to the utmost extent. The prisoners were then discharged.

When upon her death-bed, she called iu one of the neighbours, a piper, and obliged him to promise her, under pain of being haunted by her ghost, to play the tune of " Caberfeigh" at her funeral. The lad being somewhat superstitious, and fearing, in case of non-compliance, that the old lady's manes would take vengeance upon him, actually kept his word, and played the wished for tune merrily, in the rear of the procession, from the place at which the corpse was taken up till it came to a river, within half a mile of the bury in, ground. When he got over the river he disconti ruled, perhaps recollecting the popular belief—" a runnin stream they daurna cross. " — lnverness Courier.

BRITISH EXPLORING EXPEDITION TO THE. SOUTH POLE. The following is an extract of a letter received at Lloyd's, from their agent at Hobart Town, dated ApriL 17, 1841 : "By the last list you will have perceived the return to this port of her Majesty's ships Erebus and Terror, Captains Ross and Crosier. Nothing official has as yet transpired here, but it is generally understood that the expedition has been very successful, and that it pro proceeded eleven degrees lower south than the Astrolobe a Zele, and four degrees more than any other vessel has ever yet reached ; that they were enabled to fix the exact position of the south magnetic pole at about one hundred miles distant from them, and that some extra ordinary mistake appears to have affected the calculation of the Americans who approached these regions." . , " Sir Robert Peel's late remarks:—" I have r jastFecei , The following is M. Von Raumar s notice of he says, " the last speech which Sir Robert Peel o delivered at Tamworth. justly affirms thatonation, and . thatcni commerce is by no means in a hop_etleossot condition, be laid to the charge of. temporary difficulty oug.hs, however, no justification or the Corn-laws. Tahisonitrary, Sir Robert Peel observed, very justly, in these laws. Oin,st iilinement, on the 18th of May, 1841, it to remove restraints on commerce. The may be salatao, in times both of commercial prosperity and adversittY,at id° protecting duties are necessary for corn, poor-rates, may be answered by an otherthat poor-rates become necessary and are increased by ' these protecting duties. Besides, the . P b r ee P au s a p e r - o - ti p : o er s e i t i a o r l e i amount of the protecting duties is in no correct propor tion to the poor-rates. Robert Peel says further, by - a fixed duty you will be inundated with foreign corn in c heap years, while in years of famine it will be impossi ble to levy eight shillings. And once taken off, who will again be able to re-impose the duty ? 1. Now, even as suming that the same years should be fruitful, both in England and the Continent, it is inconceivable that foreign agriculturists (who pay the protecting duty and freight) should send so much wheat to England precisely in cheap years. 2. With free trade, and regular cultivation, the danger of famine diminishes extremely. But should such a rare case occur, the rule must be suspended, as it has often already been on extraordinary conjunctures. It is to us a subject of congratulation that our country knows no Corn-laws, and no discriniinating duties, and that in this natural state of things we are strangers to all those bitternesses, the result of this artificial condition, which so much convulse England. That this artificial state of things will soon be changed into a more natural state, I do not for a moment dout ; and what benefits the Eng lish must also be beneficial to the Germans, connected with them by race and by alliances." It is said that Peel has agreed to give Lord Londonderry the Russian embassy, to reward him for his previous disappointments, and for the services he has since rendered to his party. We know that Lord Lon donderry has long been looking to this appointment ; indeed, that lie has been working for it. It was by the Noble Marquis's machinations, by his busy representa tions and disinterested counsels, that the late Tory fight vas got up in this county, and with such honourable and brilliant success. Twenty-five thousand pounds were spent in South Durham in an endeavour to purchase a seat for Mr. Ferrer and other means, equally credita ble, every where resorted to. The hope of Wynyard— Lord Seahain—a youth who never before took to any more serious occupation than catching hies--came ex pressly„from London "to manage the interests of his to give directions to the Wynyard tenantry" on Mr Farrer's behalf. By these exertions the Tory can didate succeeded in approaching within 800 votes of Mr Bowes, whom he was enlisted by Lord to supplant.—Gateshead Observer. NORTH MIDLAND RAILWAY.
