POST.—The American papers received by the last . steamer from Boston notice, as a remark able fact, that in the midst of the downfal of State credit and the breaking up of the bank ing system by which the recent history of the union is distinguished, " the country is in a prosperous condition, and all the substantial in terests, embracing the welfare of the masses, are in successful and healthy action." Agriculture and manufactures are represented to be both thriving—commerce equally so, for while those of the merchants who, neglecting their legitimate pursuits to engage in the speculative enterprises which prevailed in 1835 and 6, have been swept away, or are inextricably involved, a new race have sprung up who are already carrying on "a regular, safe, and lucrative business." It is ex pected that many of those who have been crip pled for years will be emancipated from their difficulties by the operation of the bankrupt law, and that the new order will be strengthened by the accession of "men of industry and en tcrprisP who, having been taught a severe lesson by the experience of the past, will observe eau ' tion and prudence for the future." • The effect of the " downfal of State credit, and the breaking up of the banking system," to which reference is made', has not, however, as yet, been felt in the full force that it will be in the course of a short time. The Americans, from the period at which they acquired their inde pendence, have been deemed the trustworthy customers of the mother country, and their credit in our markets has been unlimited ; b ut the state of the exchanges proves, beyond all d ou bt, that the mercantile position of America is undergoing a melancholy change. Th e result a Mississippi was influenced de. of the late election for party who have in a material degree by a c lared•themselves favourable t o t h e non-payment of the State engagements,. to the robbery of the British capitalist who has l en t t h em money for the prosecution of r public improvements, their improvements, by means o f w hi ch they have se curedto themselves lar ge revenues.

GLOBE.—While Sir Robert Peel is collecting statistics from abroad to justify his disregard of the public distress, facts are transpiring every day at home which plainly indicate the necessity that something should be done to alleviate the people's sufferings. If the emissaries of the Premier, whi) are said to be now exploring every beggarly hole on the Continent to find ou t where the lowest wages are paid, should discover that there are places in Europe where the working classes have even less to live upon than our own, we shall not accept the fact as a reason for making food dear in Eng land. If we are to abdicate the rank we have always held among nations as the first in wealth and in industry, we may begin to calculate how low in poverty our people may fall without ab solutely perishing from want, and how far we can restrict our commerce for the benefit of the land owners at the sacrifice of the manufacturing pre eminence which we have enjoyed hitherto. We should not be astonished if Sir It. Peel were to come forward in Parliament with something like "a million of facts," intended to show that the poorer classes in England enjoy luxuries which are elsewhere wholly unknown; and he will per haps be prepared with " statistics" to prove that a labourer with six shillings a week has no right to complain, inasmuch as there are certain per sons at Naples, called Lazzaroni, who lie in the sun, and live upon maccaroni—their earn ings being not more than a shilling or two in the week—a sum, as we may be plausibly infinmed, much below the very lowest wages of any English workman. The fault of the Pre mier's statistics collected from abroad will be their inapplicability to facts existing at home ; for though the population of some European States may from circumstances be in a position to live at little expense, it is not the case with the inlca tants of this country, where climate and habit render it necessary that the strength should be sustained by a diet more generous than that which in other places would suffice for nourish ment. Besides, sunshine and maccaroni might be well enough if it were possible to get them ; but in a country " on whose empire the sun never sets," and in whose capital, at least, the sun scarcely ever shows itself; the opportunity for basking in its rays is not very often to bo, found, while maccaroni at half-a-crown per lb. renders it impossible that our poor should imi tate the Lazzaroni of Naples by making it the food on which chiefly to support themselves. STANDARD.—We, and all others who op pose the Tractarian party, are, by a respectable Contemporary, stigmatised as " Low Church," and as the allies of infidels. It is impossible to offer defence against a nickname, because a nick name means anything or nothing, at the caprice of bun who employs it. Our defence against the charge of an alliance with infidels is, how ever, easy, and we will make it short. We will walk in what we conscientiously believe the straight path, whoever may walk the same path with us. This is a matter in which we are commanded to have no reserve—be it that others serve the cause of truth, "of envy and strife"---if we participate not in their ill-nature," we do re joice, "yea, and w ill re j o i ce , i n their activity." But what are High and Low Church at the pre sent day ? We do not agree with our accuser in the grave charge which it brings against the clergy —" We have repeatedly granted, when taking retrospective views of the more recent history of the Church of England, that at no very distant time the fervent, earnest, zealous piety of the Church was almost entirely with the ultra- Protestant or evangelical' party. We have shown the vices and extravagances—the vanity, and ostentation, and love of popular display into which this party gradually advanced, not, indeed, through their piety, but through the un-Catholic presumption which accompanied it—through the pride in their own judgment as to spiritual things in which they were accustomed to indulge." This is unjust to the Church. We are old enough to remember the clergy of the last generation, and although among the clergy, as among the laity, diversity of character was more strongly marked 40 years ago than at present, we can truly say that we remember altuost as great a proportion of zealous and pious ministers as the Church can boast even in this, its happiest and - proudest clay, notwithstanding the errors of some of its sons. If the clergy of the last generation have left few distinct monuments of their zeal and piety, it is because they were not challenged `from the discharge of duties strictly pastoral. COURIER.—We have been greatly amused at sonic of the " fantastic tricks" lately played off by the burly mountebank now filling the civic chair in Dublin, as well as at the eagerness evinced by the whole pack, of which he is the worthy leader, in pursuit of what they pre tended to consider a real, lusty, bona fide grievance. It was not of the assertions of our Irish Whig-Radical Contemporaries, backed by the sympathetic whining of the Whig Press at this side of the Channel, a mere shadow of a grievance, the coinage of a factious b ra i n , t h at they were then complaining of—it was neither the wrong done Ireland at norsince the Union, it was neither the injustice of the tithe-rent charge perpetrated by the Whigs, nor the in sufficiency of the measure of Corporate reform, nor the blundering betrayed by the framers of the Irish Poor-law Bill, nor the insult offered to Ireland in the accession to power by a Con servative Administration, nor all these to gether, that constituted the terrible griev ance under which the whole of Ireland was then groaning. What then could it be ? Was it that the returns of the "tribute Sunday" were " growing fine by degrees and beautifully less," that the repeal exchequer showed no dispo sition to expand, or that the remittances from Yan kee-land, so much vaunted of, were mere " pro mises to pay," or that a large and respect able portion of the Roman Catholic clergy were determined to discountenanc e i n f u t ure all attempts at wringing from the horny hands of the worst paid and worst conditioned peasanty in Europe, a portion of their miserably inade quate earnings under the pretence of patriotism, and in order to enable a bloated demagogue and his pampered family to revel in ease and luxury ? Or was it that any attempt to abridge the elec toral rights acquired under the Relief Bill or Re form Act had been made or threatened ? Any one of these would doubtlessly be sufficient to try the temper of the most self-denying anchorite, and afford to grievance-m ongers or manufac turers ample materials upon which to work ; but astgreatgieyanceilatsheexlcasitteadetsoofmauncth iryniedttiiinae l anti national al despotism--which indignation and alarm in the sister country, and so much sympathy in this—is no way connected with any of these things. PRICE 5d has taken place in the value of the . stocks of Illinois and I n di ana i s , we f ear , but too certa i n an indication of the prevailing ,disposition of the electors of thos e t wo S tates . The anti-bond party have succeeded in returning .their chosen officers, both legislative and executive, by large majorities. The election turned upon this point of robbery or no robbery, and, being decided in favour of the former, the unprincipled demo cracy call it a " triumph." It - is not tho ug h t t h at the repudiation of debt will be sanctioned by a general vote of the Le gislature, as that would be "an act of such out rageous dishonesty, an act so infamous in its cha racter, as to call down the scorn and 'execrations of the whole civilised world." It is considered that the point aimed at will be effected upon the silent principle of, inaction—by the omission on the part of the members to provide for the ffiture payment of div idends to the stockholders. This conduct will be just as base as an open avowal of repudiation, quite as well understood by the world at, large, and the consequence of the adoption of so disgusting a course will be, and in fact is, a total annihilation of American credit in Europe. The bonds of New York, Massachusetts, Maine, Ohio, and a few other of the States of the Union stand at a comparatively high price in the London market, and the in terest upon them will, we dare say, be regularly paid as heretofore, but they are no longer the negotiable securities they were, and hence the necessity to which the Americans are driven of sending specie for all the purposes of trade. The situation of America is precisely that of an individual who, from a non-observance of good • faith towards those who have trusted him, can ob tain no further supplies of the commodities he needs, otherwise than upon the payment of money down. Her word, her bond, and her honour are equally out of fashion, and although the expedients of the banks may check the drain of specie for the moment, gold must continue to flow this vay, or the foreign commerce of the Republic must continue a dead letter. Two Governors, namely, Reid, of Florida, and M'Nutt, of Mississippi, have plainly and un equivocally told the creditors of the States that they will never be paid, and it remains to be seen how far they will be supported in that view of affairs. TIMES.—A gentleman from the City called at the Treasury yesterday, where he gathered that as soon as Parliament meets there will be an inquiry into the Exchequer bill fraud; but that there is no intention to appoint any com mission to decide upon the case of the innocent holders of the forged bills. This is anything but consolatory to the parties so situated, for a Par liamentary inquiry will be sure to occupy a very long time, and then, for aught that appears to the contrary, the point elicited will be, rather how to prevent such frauds in future, than any consideration for those who have been the suf ferers by them. Hence it is clear that nothing is to be expected, either from the Treasury or from any voluntary assistance, in the way of promoting compensation, when Parliament shall assemble, in which alone the proper remedy must lie. The suspension ofpayment by Messrs. Rocher, Casanas, and Co., wine -merchants, was men tioned on 'Change to-day. The death of Mr. Rocher, of Oporto, is assigned as the cause, and it is said that the firm entertain hopes of ulti mately paying every creditor in full. THE EXCHEQUER BILL AFFAIR. It is, we apprehend, not less the duty of an limiest and independent press to state to the Government from time to time such movements of the public mind as re quire attention, than to inform the public at large of the purposes and plans of Government, so far as they may be accurately ascertained and usefully imparted. Such considerations as these induce us to say a few words on the present position of the Exchequer bill affair. There can be no doubt that the recent disappointment of the public curiosity has operated prejudicially on the character of the Government. That disappointment may have been inevitable ; it may have been morally impossible for the affair to have been with propriety worked in any other way ; but not the less certain is it, that the sudden fall of the curtain, and disappearanc e o f the chief perform ers , w i t h out the least disclosure or ex planation, has furnished an opportunity for calumnious invention and the spread ofscandalous reports which has scarcely ever been equalled. People had generally taken it into their heads that in transactions of this magnitude there must have been other and greater criminals than Smith and Rapallo. They waited with patience for the public trial, believing that in the course of such an investigation the whole facts of the case would, somehow or other, be developed. But, lo ! in one short half-hour, the whole scene passes off ; the accused appears, makes his - bow, reads his ad dress, is sentenced, and retires, and his fellow-prisoner is permitted to depart unquestioned ; the eager public knowing, if possible, almost less of th e r ea l hi story of the transaction than they did a week before ! That the mere force of disappointment should produce " evil surmisings," was almost inevitable. Accordingly, the ill-disposed towards the Government have instantly embraced the opportunity of declaring everywhere that " there were those implicated in the affair whom it was convenient to screen ; that at least two Noble L or d s , more or less connecte with the Administration, were involved with the affair ; and hence it was contrived to cut the whole investigation short, and to suppress all the evidence." It is impossible to be surprised, considering what hu man nature is, and how unwilling men alw a y s are to b e balked of a tale of romance, or a promised discovery— it is impossible, we repeat, to wonder that imaginative invention on the one hand, and eager malice on the other should create such fi c ti ons as th ese ou t o f w h at was probably a very common-place affair. The main ground on which these assumptions are or dinarily found to rest does not appear to us to be a suffi cient one. " What can have become of so large a sum of money ?" it is asked ; " Smith has it not—Rapallo is poor ; who, then, has had all this vast amount ?" To those who are unaccustomed to the scenes which are daily passing in the Bankrupt Court this question was likely to carry the inevitable conviction that some more im portant persons than Smith andßapallo must have been con cerned, and that some great hoard of wealth must still exist, the result of "the Exchequer bill conspiracy." But to those who have been used sometimes to read and hear of city failures, whether mercantile or on the Stock Exchange, there will appear nothing strange or unaccountable in the utter dissipation of 300,0004 without any gain to the parties ; nor any expectation that a hoard could be dis covered, even by tracking every single bill through al its stages to its ultimate resting-place. The present autumn has already witnessed several, nay, many failures, in London and the larger towns, of amount equalling, or even excee di n g, th e E xc h equer bill fraud. and in each of which it might with quite as much pro priety be asked, " What can have become of all this mo ney ? We have seen bankers worth _300,000/., or 400,000 L, now deficient, perhaps nearly as much ; book sellers, in a few years, minus 100,000 Z or 150,0001. ; and warehousemen who, in two years have dissipated 80,000/. ! Yet none of these occupations offers so easy and rapid a method of getting rid of money as the time bargain system on the Stock Exchange. Where, then, is the wonder, that two or three persons, without exciting any great observation, should, in the time which seems to have been spent in the work, have got rid of the sum now in question ?—not 300,0001. we apprehend ; b ut only such amount as may have been advanced on E x _ chequer-bills apparently of that value ? For our own part, therefore, we discern no facts which lead to the conclusion that " there must be something in the back-ground." But at the same time we think it our duty to point out to the Government the use which is being made of the recent occurrences by those wh o a bear them no good will ; and we will v enture to add the recommendation, that if any means can b e found, whether through the medium of the Bank of England, or by any other channel, of letting the public understand the real character and full extent of the tran saction, such a taken.— course should s. possib le at once, and with a ll le frankne ss , b e Time CHINESE AR MS.WOOLWICH, DEC. 9.--Li eutenant-Colonel Knowles, commanding the detachment of Royal Artillery at pre sent serving in China, recently transmitted to this coun try a complete assortment of Chinese war arms, with specimens of shot and the costumes of the soldiers of the Celestial Empire.

On Tuesday evening last, Mr. F. Rowton delivered the second of an extremely interesting course of lectures on the genius and writings of " Boz," to a crowded audience, assembled in the theatre of this Institution. Having considered the author's humour and knowledge of character in his last lecture, Mr. Rowton proceeded in this to speak of Dickens's powers of description, pathos, and satire. In illustration of the first of these lualities, Mr. R. read, with excellent effect, the chapter ' Oliver Twist," entitled, " The Jew's last night We were pleased to perceive that an in cidental rem ar k of Mr. R ow t on ' s on the brutalizing nature of public executions, m e t w i t h a ready response from the majority of his audience, A s specimens of Dickens's pathos, the Lecturer selected the final release of the Chancery prisoner (from the Pickwick Papers), and the death of Kelly and her Grandfather (from the Old Curiosity Shop), and analysed the pathetic quality of the author's mind with much cl earness and judgment. He then referred to Boz's satire, upon which lie made some very just and appropriate critical remark.% He described it as being invariably marked by discrimination, good purpose, and manliness. In speaking of its aims, Mr. R. showed the author's contempt for affectation, in his ridicule of ladies who are all-soul, like Mrs.Wititterley, Of pragmatic patrons of literature and the arts, like Mr. Curdle, with his definition of the dramatic unities, of effe minate dandies, like Mr. Mantalini, and of hollow heart less men of the world, like Sir John Chester. The Lec turer menticned also Dickens's satire on the insolent in office, instancing Mr. Fang and Mr. Bumble ; and al luded likewise to Miss Montflathers, and the prevailing system of 7oung-lady education. As a fair spec i men of the author s power and humour in satirical writing, Mr. Rowton recited the well-known trial scene in the case of Bardell v. Pickwick, in a style that brought down the hearty laughter, and equally hearty cheers of the audi ence. With this extract Mr. R. concluded his lecture. iAS from alive."

" The .editor has deserved well of his cOuntry and of the church of God for his present undertaking." " A very high meed of praise is due to the pious aad bene volent editor for having, at the expense of a large sacrifice of money as well as of time, accomplished an undertaking to which hitherto only the exertions of an epi scopal bench, and the ex penditure of national funds have be en deemed adequate." Sacred regard has been paid to the moulds of thought and impression which our venerable translators had used." " A multitude of the emendations are admirable, and while they bring out more fully the spirit of the original, they strikingly tend to elucidate the truths and facts of the sacred oracles." " The editor has impaired no doctrine of the Gospel ; has ventured on no conjectural renderings ; and has done no vio. lence to the evangelical spirit of the inspired oracles. In not a few instances he has shed light on the sacred tekt by placing it in a clearer point of view ; while by better renderings he has removed many contradictions and indelicacies out of the way of the English reader."

This Work, a Seventh Edition of which is now presented to the public, ten thousand copies have been exhausted since its first appearance, has been very much improved and enlarged by the addition of a more extended and clear detail of general principles, as also by the insertion of several new and highly in teresting cases. The book, as has been already stated, is the result of very ample and daily increasing experience in a class of diseases, which, for some unaccountable reason, have been either altogether overlooked, or treated almost with indiffer ence, by the ordinary medical practitioner. The proverbial and well known rapacity of unqualified practitioners, who traffic on the health and credulity of patients,Vhas been en couraged and aroused by this supineness, on the part of the regular surgeon. In order to obviate the pernicious effects sure to result from the practices of such pretenders, the authors have for a considerable time devoted themselves ex clusively to a certain class of diseases ; of the necessity of so doing, they were further convinced by feeling that tact in in vestigating the latent sources of many diseases, which arise from certain secret praetices, can only be acquired by an ex clusive and undivided attention to this department of medical practice. The numberless instances daily occurring, whersin affections of the lungs, putting on all the outer appearances of consumption, which, however, when traced to their source, are found to result from certain baneful practices, fully proves that the principle of the division of labour, is nowhere more applicable than in medical practice. We feel no hesitation in saying that there is no member of society by whom the book will not be found useful, whether such person hold the relation of a Parent, a Preceptor, or a Clergyman. The PARENT, who beholds his beloved child pining away, and fast approaching to a premature grave, in conse quence of some disease, which, for want of careful investiga tion of its real cause, has been set down to the score of con sumption, will, on perusing this work, be astonished to find, that in nine-tenths of the cases of young persons of both sexes, who perish of what is called pulmonary consumption, heart disease, tabes, &c., the sole and exclusive origin has been the indulgence in certain destructive habits practised by youth much more frequently than it is at all suspected. The PRECEPTOR, also, who holds (temporarily at least), the relation and responsibility of a parent, will, by perusing this work, be directel and very much assisted in investigating and detecting the too often con cealed practices so often introduced into schools, whereby the health and ultimately the lives of his pupils are sure to be com promised, unless the evil be arrested in proper time. He will here find a clue to guide him through the intricate mazes of this moral labyrinth, and a standard whereby to judge, when delicacy of health should appear to attack any of his young charges, what the r ea l causes of such attack may be, and thus he will be enabled to check the evil in its incipient state. The CLERGYMAN, in whose sacred character is at once concentrated the two-fold relation of p a rent and instructor , will here be directed as to the nature of those habits to which youth is addicted ; he will also be enabled to point out the dis astrous consequences which are sure to follow from them if not relinquished.

Sin, —Seeing in your valuable paper that numerous sums of money are being collected for the relief of the distressed of Spitalfields, I beg respectfully to ask, through your columns , where it i s di str ib uted, and if not actu ally distributed I beg to suggest a plan for its distribu tion—namely, the appointment of District Committees, composed of men who have a knowledge of the various branches connected with the Silk trade. This mode is the more necessary, because it has frequently happened that the really deserving have never received any relief, while those who were of doubtful character have been the greatest recipients. The mode I would propose is, that a public meeting be held in the district, to which meeting I would suggest that each branch of the Silk trade be invited to send men who really know the distress existing. This also should be impressed on any meeting that may be held in the City or elsewhere, as there aro parties in a condition to prove that the distress among the Dyers is truly awful. Many out of employ, and the average earnings of those employed not eight shil lings per week. Should you deem this worthy a corner in your valu able Journal you will oblige Dec. 10, 1841. A CONSTANT READER. THE WOOLLEN TRADE. (From the Leeds Mercury.) LEEDS, DEC. 10.—We have no new feature to notice in the foreign wool trade this week. About the same extent of business has been done as is usual at this season of the year, which is generally somewhat limited, but prices are firmly maintained. There has not been any increased demand for English wool this 'week ; the manufacturers, as usual at this season, limiting their purc h ases as muc h as possible. Low deep grown combin g wools still go off more r ea dil y than the finer qualities. In prices we do not quote any alteration. There has been exceeding dull markets at Leeds Cl o th Hall this we e k. On Saturday there was scarcely any thing done except in fancy cloakings, in good patt erns , the stocks of whi c h are completely. sold off, but on Tues day there was literally nothing .doing—it was the worst market we have had during the - year. BRADFORD MARKET, TH URSDA Y.--ThiS being our winter fair, we have had a great influx of people attend ing the Piece Market, but few of these have been buyers of manufactured goods, and only a limited business has been done, and that chiefly in m er i nos , l ow fi gures, and lustres, of which there is but a small stock in the market. Prices without alteration. There ii no altered feature in the yarn branch in either demand or prices. There is no in dication of any increased activity in the wool trade, but middle and low sorts of full-bred wool continua in good request at late prices. The finer descriptions of combing are dull of sale, and prices are disproportionately reduced. HALIFAX MARKET, DEC. 4.—The Piece Market to day has not shown quite so much animation as on this day week. There is no alteration in the yarn market. nor any perceptible variation in wool. Middle wethers are quoted at 121., and second ditto at 11/. to 11Z ss. per pack. Common nolls and brokes about 91. --- THE SMITHFIELD CLUB DINNER. On Friday evening the members of this useful, numer ous, and influential Club dined together at the Free masons' Tavern. The Earl Spencer, President o f t h e Club, was in the Ch a i r , su p porte d on his right by Lord Alieyne, the Hon. Wm. King, &c., and on the left by Colonel Wood, M.P. for Brecon, Colonel Sibthorp, Charles Handley, Esq., Chairman of the Royal Agricul tural Society of England, and about 256 gentlemen con nected with the breeding of stock - and the general ad vancement of agricultural pursuits. • The cloth having been drawn, the NOBLE CHAIRMAN proposed the health of ber Majesty, which was re sponded to with the most loyal enthusiasm, as was that of the infant Prince. - -Upon the health of Prince Albert being proposed, the Noble Chairman stated that his Royal Highness and the Duke of Cambridge had become members of the Smithfield Club, which an nouncement was received with enthusiastic cheering. Upon " Success to the Smithfield Club" being given, the Chairman observed that he had scarcely ever seen a better show than the present one ; although there had not been so much stock, great improvement had taken Place. The numerous improvements in implements of husbandry, seeds, &c., would account for th e i r success in their receipts.-(Hear.) After a few other observa tions his Lordship stated that it was his determination to do the utmost in his power to render every assissance to the Club, as he felt assured it would be his own and the farmers' fault if they did not by determination succeed. In fact if the farmers would not act for themselves, they would have themselves to blame, but he had every hope that every man would do his duty. The Noble Earl con cluded by proposing " Success to the Smithfield Club." Upon the health of the Vice-Presidents being given, Earl ABOVNE returned thanks, and regretted that he had not hitherto attended to his duties as he ought to have done, seeing the immense utility of the Club, and although he had looked upon the office as a sinecure, he had the consolaehtayilotonhtohote'rfi.nding the duties skilfully His Lordship concluded their Noble President, for returned thanks, ob •that whichba proposing ab l ably sperformedo therdsh iiip had d ealls not advantagehoeef serving he sincerely hoped each succeeeing year would, by the generally. i e m x e p rrtoivo improvements e o n f It h s, i r s uae f s r friends, n w d as would,s , b bh e ee t the p nt r o o s m toh o es t nee successful et i s s us u tfr c uy h l as he had been on former occasions, but that would not v d a a n mp tagehis adur' forrthoesh show, elllB4eze Whichfor showed d d t had her e the wa a s da good run between them and the short-horned, would ultimat e ly d o great good by stimulating the breed ers of each ki n d of stock.

An addition has been made to the attractions of the Egyp_ tian Hall by the exhibition of the " Missouri T A , ;„ b brought to this country by M. Koch, together with a super abundance of fossils and relics of unknown animals. Th e magnitude of the above specimen, which is in good vre _ servation, is enormous ; it is supposed to have been ori_ ginally an amphibious creature, and roamed through the fens and marshes of the antediluvian world. Its sureme nts exceed the Iguanadon, discovered in the Sus_ Sex sands by Mantell. THE L is residuary LATE SIR F. CHANTREY --Tile Will of Sir Francis Chantrey was proved on Saturday last at Doctors' Commons by Lady Chantrey, and the other executors, when the property of the deceased . was sworn under 90,0001.

NUMEROUS DEATHS IN TUE • METROPOLI TAN HOSPITALS. - Within the last few days no fewer than nine inqUests have been held in three of the London hospitals, viz., St. Bartholomew's five, St. George's two, and the London two, being a greater number than ha 3 ever been known in so short a period. diers would be very effective. They are in the form of Turkish sabres, but with less curve, and the handles are about fifteen inches long, evidently that they may afford room to hold with both hands at once, and cut with tre mendous force. There are two sword s of a different con struetion, the blades being only about eighteen inches in length, fixed on handles five feet long, for cutting or de fendieg the men from the attacks of cavalry, or, as there is a small tuft of hair attached to them, they may have been used to denote the' rank of those who used them, as the their Sergeants . of the British army were distinguished by halberts A most singular arm of the Chinese is formed exactly similar to the trident held in the hand of representations of Neptune or Britannia, the centre prong being straight, and the two outer prongs slightly curved, but very sharp pointed. This weapon is fixed to the end of a pole about 10 feet long, similar in thickness to those used by British regiments of Lancers. The Chinese standard is cut in a sheet of iron in the form of the ace of spades, with a number of projections, evidently intended to re present flames of fire. The standard is fixed upon the top of a pole, and immediately underneath it is a circular piece of iron about 6 inches in diameter, hung round with hair about 9 or-10 inches in length. There are also, neatly arranged on the wall, two bows formed of bamboo and horn, and the contents of a sheaf of arrows, 120 in number, about 3i feet long each. On the table below are specimens of the shot used by the Chinese, very rudely cast, the largest being only a b out 4 i nches, and the smallest 1 inch, in diameter. The tiger dress of a soldier has been stuffed with straw and placed against the wall, and presents a singular ap pearance, being a second edition of Sir John Falstaff, having nearly as substantial or bulky a corporation as that celebrated Knight. Attached to the costume, which is from top to bottom all one dark red colour, with fan tastic stripes painted black to represent a tiger, is ahood, made to cover the head quite close and fall down over a considerable portion of the face, with holes for the eyes, and two projecting representations of the ears of an animal. Amongst the articles is a dress which lielonged to an officer of high rank, and although it is rather the worse for wear, it still has the remains of finery about it, being of a dark ground thickly studded with metallic ornaments, and flowered with embroidered figures in silk. It is intended to have this dress stuffed, to exhibit the costume of the Chinese officers; and altogether, the arti cles transmitted by Lient.-Colonel Kno w l es f orm a great acquisition to the Repository.
