Tissot, Solomon, Jordan, Goss, and others. By WILLIAM HENRY CASTLE, Surgeon. Illustrated with Cases. This little work is not only distinguished but contra-distin guished from all others which have preceded it, its pages being exclusively devoted to the curative department, and hence it may be justly hailed as a great national desideratum. It con tains above one hundred choice recipes, adapted to various stages of the complaint, which is divided into three distinct heads and progressive stages of treatment, viz.:—let, The cleansing, or detergent; 2dly, 'fhe strengthening, or tonic; and lastly, The alterative, or purifying. Into these three grand divisions, theory suggested, and long experience has demon strated, the curative plan ought and must be divided. The treatment of this disease has, for obvious reasons, been hitherto confined to some cordial balm, occult tincture, or talis manic drops, which act merely as a dram—a temporary stimu lus, procured at the expense of the patient's future welfare. Theinvalid suffering under mental depression and decay, impotence, and a host of peculiar and inveterate infirmities, comprehended under nervous debility, will find this Pocket Manual written expressly for his use, and adapted to his va rious wants.

The following are a few of the numerous testimonials this popular work has received, and which the limits of an adver tisement will only allow of being published : The rage for books in all departments of Science, literature, and the arts, was, we believe, never so prevalent as at the pre sent time. The unavoidable consequence of this is, that we meet a very considerable proportion of indifferent, useless, and even bad books. With the force of this prejudice on our minds, we with no little reluctance were induced to peruse Messrs. Curtis's work, entitled " Manhood ;" nor did it re quire much perusal fully to satisfy us that the book was not one of the common stamp. The scientific views taken by the authors of the source and origin of many of the most distressing effects of certain depraved habits, fully establish their claim to the character of experienced and judicious surgeons. To quote passages from the work in proof of our assertion would be departing from the established rules of the daily press. The result, however, of our careful perusal of the work, has been to impress us with a thorough confidence in the talent. sod 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 'west frightful maladies to which flesh is heir.—Old England. 11Iessrs. Curtis's work, entitled "Manhood," is one of the few books now coming befor the public on such a subject which can lay claim to the character of being strictly professional, at the same time that it is fully intelligible to all who read it. The moral and medical precepts given in it, render it invalu able.—Magnet. The perusal of Messrs. Curtis's book entitled " Manhood," has really astonished us by developing a series of maladies, the never-failing consequence of the vicious habit of which it treats. The clear connexion pointed out between the assigned cause and the effects is perceptible to every capacity. We strongly recommend the work.—Age. The multitude of books daily coming from the press, some, nay most of them, of a very questionable tendency, made us ex tremely reluctant to take up another. Having, however, been induced by the character g iven of this work by an intelligent friend, we ventured to open its pages, and now feel no hesita tion in saving 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-day observer as the result of common causes, such as exposure to cold, sudden vicissitudes of tempe rature, hereditary taint, &C., is truly convincing and extre- We say " satisfactory," inasmuch as Messrs. Curtis have shown melt' satisfactory. .that many diseases, such as Pulmonary hitherto the opprobria of medi ce°innes,ummal;t,iownheEnPtlak iePesnYin&per.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 th a t society is de e p l y indebted to the authors for produ c i ng so useful, so much wanted, so valuable, and so truly moral a book.—Conservative Journal. We recommend the work entitled " Manhood," Sze., 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 thera.—Statesman. Messrs.

Copy of a Letter from the late Henry Cowper, Esq., of Tewen.waters, Herts., to Mr. W. F. France, who is re. siding at 22, Spring.gardens. "Tewen-waters, Herts., March 21, 1840. Sir, In justice to the Messrs. Solomons about the time men tioned in the extract of the advertisement which you have sent me, I beg to inform you that I certainly did write to them to that effect; before I possessed the Voice Conductor Sound Magnifiers I had been stone deaf. lam within two months of my 87th year, and can still feel the comfort and benefit of the Sound Magnifiers Invisible Voice Conductors. I am, Sir, your obedient ser. vant, Henry Cowper."—Messrs. S. and B. Solomons, 39, Albemarle.strect, Piccadilly, opposite the York Hotel, and 76, King William-street, City, state that their newly invented Invisible Voice Conductor Sound Magnifiers enables per. sons at an advanced age, and of forty and fifty years' standing of extreme deafness, to join in general conversation, and to catch the sound of a distant low speaker at a public assembly. They are the size of a very small gold seven.shilling piece, and when in the cavity of the ears, they are not the least perceptible nor more un• comfortable than having a small piece of fine wool in its place. Messrs. Solomon , ' newly-invented Spectacles, immediately they are laced before imperfect vision, that mist and dullness which appears before the eyes is at once removed, every object becoming dear and distinct, so that the most aged defective eye-sight beatmes bright and brilliant, and is brought to its youthful, natural, and ori. ginal state. All the instruments formerly employed for re lieving deafness are now far superseded by the Voice Conductors, invented by It. Solomons and Co., No. 36, Old Bond-street, and No. 1, Ohl Jewry, City. From their ingenious and minute eon. struction (being only a quarter of an inch in diameter) they cannot I.4p&celved by the nearest bystander ; and while they enable deaf persons to distinguish mixed and confused sounds, or the voice of a distant speaker, they afford the most effectual relief to subjects complaining of singing noises in the ear, and are altogether pro ductive of the most desirable results. Their Patent Spectacles extend great relief to the visual organs, and from a combination of properties which they possess, are vastly superior to those hitherto employed. To such persons who closely apply their sight to read ing or any minute employment, but particularly by candle or lamp light, they will be found of incalculable advantage. The highest testimony to their superior merit is conveyed in the fact, that the principal medical authorities in Europe use them, and strongly re commend their adoption to all persons who may require optical aid. —N.B.

CONSTANTISOPLE, AUG. 7.—ln my letter of :al . June, I stated that it was the intention of the Porte to collect at Con stantinople the militia of Bournelia - and Anatolia. for the pur- Rise of oro.n'zing them as an available force. I do not know if the whole number inscribed for uniting at the capital will come If they do, we shall have 92,192 men in addition to the troops of the line. Orders have been given to prepare for Tripoli or Barbary two regiments of infantry, 6,500; two regiments of cavalry, 1,200 ; and one regiment of artillery, 2,200 men, who are to be sent off as soon as possible. The expected change in the Ministry in England has ex cited sensation even here. The Turks have a very high opi nion of Lord Palmerston, and almost adore Lord Ponsonby. Report says that Sir C. Ba , rot is expected to be appointed to . this embassy, and we have heard some true -patri •ts rejoice that Lord Ponsonby may quit us, because they consider he has been here too long. Russia and Austria arc not of this opi nion, and their diplomacy certainly, does not suffer from the fact that their Ambassadors here grow old on a service on which they first entered in theiriyouth. Turkey is so different from othercountries, that it really requires years before the most astute can fully comprehend: A girl has died at Therapia of tti disorder suspected to be the plague, and Lord Ponsonby his put his palace in quarantine. His exertions since that time have not 51ackened, and many houseless beings are indebted to him for shelter ; for he has ordered tents to be pitched for the accommodation of the poor, in the place set apart in time cf plague for pers ms compromised. Nor is the Admiral the only person whose generous feelings have been called into action on this distressing occasion. The nuns, or, as they are more aptly designated, the Sisters of Charity, have had a fine opportunity of proving w hat can he dune where the disposition exists. Not only were they to be seen in the midst of the scene of desolation, bearing with them medicines to assist the faint, nourishment to succour the weary, and salves to allay the irritating pains of the wounded, but, since that period loads of bread have daily left their hos pitable convent, and the aid of the pupils` committed to their charge has been called in. although their holidays hail com menced, to make up all sorts of clothing for the naked aid forlorn men, women, and children, whose c ills upon our sympathy are every where heard. This is, indeed, charity in all its pureness, and how can those devoted Christians be aufli • ATIONAL LOAN FUND SOCIETY FOR GRANTING LIFE ASSURANCES, DEFERRED ANNUITIES, &c. No. 26, CORN HILL.

A Greek, daring the fire, threw a quantity of goods into a deep well, and on descending to recover them a few days after, was killed by the foul air with which the well was filled. We have heard hundreds of anecdotes told of the Austrians, one of which we will here produce. A house was in flames, and no hope of saving it existed, when a Turkish woman rushed out, and opening her breast, gave signs that her child remained within. A sailor made his viay in, found. he helplessinfant, and returned it to its frantic Mother. To his honour be it told, that when in her gralitiule the mother ponied the contents of her purls into her cleLveret's lands, he plisheltiltiodi'grioory away,. saying, ".My duty-called upon meta sSroour infant,'*nd no pecuniary recompense is to be thought of." We hear with pleasure that the Admiral has received a visit on board from his Excellency the Governor of Smyrna, who was also charged to convey to him the warmest thanks of his Excellency Said Pacha. The Armenians also sent a deputation on board for the same laudable purpose. The Officers of the Austrian division beg to announce that Lieutenants Fanshawe and Grey, of the British corvette Daphne, on leave of absence at Smyrna on the :19th ult., pa.rti• cipated in all the fatigue and dagers of that dreadful night. Journal de Smyrne. We were not aware that any English officers were present, the Daphne not being in the roads; and we feel pleasure in making known a fact which does so much honour to our own countrymen, and still more to the generous Austrians so desi rous of making it public. The committee of charity still continue their benevolent ex ertions. (From the Manzari Shicrk of the 7th.) The Government steamer Peiki Shevket arrived here on the '29th ult., bringing the welcome intelligence of the termi nation of the Candian insurrection without further bloodshed. The rebels had accepted the amnesty offered to them by the Caudan Pacha, and had surrendered to his Excellency Miss tapha Pacha. Some of the most guilty had effected their escape by an outlet, perhaps designedly left open for that pur pose, whilst the submission of the._zest WiLS unaccompanied by the slightest disorvler.

A measure of paramount importance has just been adopted. It must long have been apparent to close observers that the grand clog upon the action of the Porte, which impeded its progress, and superinduced a semblance of weakness that in truth existed not, was the want of unity in the direction of affairs. In the latter part of the reign of the late Sultan, in particular, the Government became a complete oligarchy ; every high functionary being within his sphere an independent ruler, perfectly uncontrolled in the exercise of his office. He did just what he pleased, on a kind of understanding that he interfered not with the proceedings of his col leagues, and the confusion that ensued was deplorable. This matter has for some time past been a subject of frequent and serious discussion, and we are most happy to be enabled to state that on Wednesday last the Sultan sent to the Porte a hatti-scheriff, addressed to the Grand Vizir, commanding him to take upon himself the control of affairs in general, at the same time ordering the other Ministers to consult him (the Vizir) on all trans fictions of importance appertaining to their respective departments, and to abide by his instructions. Thus the ruling power is, to a certain extent, collected and centered in one personage, who, by a proper exercise of wisdom, firm. ness, and justice, will undoubtedly be able to Sect immense good. It is composed of M. de Cramer, • Treasurer ; and Messrs. de Cadalveue Omer°, J. Langdon, J. Pincherle, Psika. N. Alexandrof, members ; by whose exertions the sum of 120,000 piasters, or neatly, have been collected, or at least subscribed for. We trust that two gentlemen who have done to Constanti nople to colloct funds will be equally sucees•ful, and we. our selves, are also empowered to receive any amount from the charitable public from ;.broad, and hope our appeal will not be unheeded. The Sultan frequently talus exercise. On Thursday he was up the Bosphorus ; on Friday, after going in state to the mosque at Defterdar Bournou, he paid a visit to his eldest sister, Sa'ihe Sultan, the - wife of Hatil Pacha, and dined at her palace. The application of the charity fund is as follows, and will convey a faint idea of the distress and misery which now reigns in Smyrna. At the Turkish barracks, which have been generously thrown open to the sufferers, 1,800 loaves are daily distributed, and meat once a week, to its miserable occupants. Mr. Cohen, a missionary, distributes daily 650 loaves. At the Lazaretto St. Rock, daily, 750 loaves, besides fruit, olives, anchovies, cheese, &e., are given. At the Lazaretto Greek, 300 loaves daily. Divers places, extending from the Caravan-bridge through out the line of destruction, from 500 to 1,000 loaves. Parish of St. John, 200 to 300 loaves daily. The village of Sedicui, composed of poor villagers, has sent in to the Committee four loads of flour, and some small sums of money collected among themselves. The collection made by the Franks, is, as we hare said, about 120,000 p. Turkish currency. By Franks we mean persons of all sects, and the population may be reckoned at about ten thousand, of which one-third is very poor, one third scarce able to support itself, and the remainder in cir cumstances of comfort and affluence. Cast week a circular was addressed to all the foreign mis sions with regard to the sale by Franks of the wine anfil spirits of the country, liable to duty and excise, which they (the Franks) find the means of avoiding ; thu 4at once defrauding the revenue and inflicting injury on the rayah dealers. The shopkeepers here who haveforeign protection may sell foreign wines and spirits without impediment, but they have no right to deal in those of the country without conforming to the regulations under which Turkish subjects pursue this commerce. It will be difficult, however, to prevent their continuing the traffic, even with the best will on the part of the ambassadors, because there are hun dreds of Frank shops in Galata and Pera, and the police have not the right of searching them, or punishing offenders in any way. Sir John M‘Neill proceeded for Trebisond on the 25th ult.,' in the Polyphemus. Major Farrant, who arrived here a few days before to meet him, accompanied his Excellency. The second son of the late Sir Walter Scott, attached to the em bassy, was also of the party. Sir William Symonds went too, and after leaving Sir John M'Neill at Trebisond, he will repair to Odessa, there perform his quarantine, -and subsequently visit the naval establishments of the Russian Government in the Black Sea. The Persian ambassador dined with Sir John on board the steamer on the day she set out. Colonel Barnett will shortly set sail for Egypt, whither he will be accompanied by J. H. Drummond Hay, Esq. (an ac complishod Arabic scholar) on behalf of the embassy here. On Friday last Pera was thrown into a dreadful state of alarm by the news that a plague case had occurred at the con vent of Terra Santa, situate almost in its centre. Three Catholic priests lately arrived here from Beyrout—one of them died in the quarantine, of a disorder supposed not to be plague : his companions, after the usual term of isolation, were admitted to pratique, and all was well ; 'but it appears that the quarantine guardians had neglected to purify the personal effects of the priests, and one of them was quickly seized by a malady which wilt prinounced to be pestilential. He was in the evening transported to t kroper 'wire; and.the severest e.rnitary pret, : qutiPlivt.k tie;ll adopted at the convent of Terra Santa, the evil' appears fortunately to have teen nirped in the bud. We have, hovre•mr, a foul hill of health for 15 days, and if nothing in the meantime happen to prolong it, there will be 15 days more of a . suspected after which, it is hoped, we shill once more be pure again. In the meanwhile, many travellers are stopped. This event has not in the slightest degree affected the personal comfort of resi dents, and social frequentation is as free and unreserved as ever. An Armenian was last week taken up and lodged in prison for coining six piaster pieces. We had on Tuesday, in Pera, what has not been seen for many a day—viz., th e execut i on o f a culprit. An Armenian fireman, some time ago murdered one musician and wounded another, merely because they would not, at his order, leave off playing the clarionet in a tavern where he was drinking. He was a most violent character, and had killed several other persons at various times. After a proper trial, he was con demned to be beheaded at the door of the tavern where his last crime was committed. No professional heads.ran (Djellad) was to be found, and the execution was entrusted to a cavass, whose nerves so little fitted him fur the task that the culprit was badly mangled before the operation was complete. This shows that such events are very 'are here. Reports state that there has been a great deal of fighting lately in Eastern Caucasus, between the Russian army and the Circassians under the celebrated Shamil Bey, the chief of Daghestan, to whose forces were united those of Great Kabarda. 'f he Circassians here assert that their coun'rymen were completely victorious. Little Kabarda is now united with the Abazeks, and both have been unm&ested this year. The 27th ult. was an oppressively hot day here. The ther mometer rose to 97 of Fahrenheit, and the wind which was from the S. W., was quits scorching. In the evening it fell calm, and lightning was playing about in all directions ; the air smelt as if it came from:o heated charnel-house. About nine o'clock, without the slightest warning, a squall burst upon us like a clap of thunder, clouds of dust, stones, tiles, and the branches of trees, swept past with fearful rapidity, the houses were shaken to their foundations, and we had truly, to use an rastern expression, " s sample of the last day." Alest fortunately this took place at night, or the loss of human life would have been dreadful. The Magicienne and Polyphemus each lust an anchor, and the well known Seri Pervaz was, they say, damaged to the extent of near 6001. The meanest shopkeeper has, we feel proud in declaring, thrown in his mite to the relief of his suffering fellow creatures. As far as we have been able to collect, the damage done is as follows; we cannot, however guarantee the statement as true Turks' houses burnt, 4,780; Jews', 1,794; Greeks', 273; Armenians', 17 ; Caravan Serais, 22 ; shops in the bazaar, 2,914 ; ditto elsewhere, 1,504 • mosques, large, 10 ; ditto, small, 29 ; synagogues, 8 ; baths, 5 ; schools, public, 42 ; forming a total of buildings, 11,393 ; and if we allow one with another the value of each building to be '20,000 piasters (a sum moderate enough), we have a total of 227,960,000 piasters of the G. S., or upwards of 2,000,000/. sterling. LETTER OF TIIANKS TO ADMIRAL IsARON BANDIERA.

The Powerful and Cambridge were there, making the present force on th e coas t o f S yr i a two s hi ps o f t h e line, zfrigate, a corvette, and two steamers. Discontent still prevailed in the mountains, aqd it was suspected a general out break, and a declaration of independence, were prevented merely by the presence of the English ships of war. No respect whatever was paid to the Turkish authorities, who were entirely powerless amongst the mouwaineers. The Rodney and Calcutta are still here; but, I understand, go to sea to-morrow, to cruise about for a few days, and will return about the 13th or 14th. Captain Maunsell has had several interviews with the Pacha during the short time he has been on the station, and, in fact, is now an old friend of his Highness, he having been here on several rather important oc casions. The Medea is still in port, and Colonel Napier still her• waiting instructions relative to the Syrians. The passengers by the Oriental arrived too late for the Suez steamer, owing entirely, it seems, to the badness of Hill and Co.'s transit horses for the desert. When they started from Cairo they were four hours a-head of the mail; but, from the inferiority of the horses, they were 36 hours in going 32 miles; so of course the passengers are all complaining me.st bitterly, as they have no alternative now but to wait for next steamer. The Nile continues to rise rapidly, and almost threatens an overflow like that of last year. It has risen already 144- pikes, very little less than at the same time last year. Eight hundred artillery have been ordered from Cairo, and a new fortress has just been commenced at that part of the Shouma called the catacombs. There is a report, but not yet fully confirmed, that an Eng lishman has just been found dead near the Ataison Carr6e, on the banks of the canal, and partly devoured by dogs.

The. con certs and the gay promenaders had ceased their pleasan tries : the season. of the regular drama had closed, and the stage was consequently left as a bare. platforth, upon which a trial of strength was to . have issue, and which was to be productive of an ultimate decision with the public as to whether a.play—and by inference, plays—which had by the censors and managers of the Theatres Royal been adjudged as unactable, were or were not, standing upon the base of their own naked excellence, calculated to attract an audience, or exact applause. 7 11 - artinuzzi, or the Patriot, from the pen of Mr. George Stephens, was the drama put forward o stand the test, and - Briar-kpetitlieffre'was 'id& to supply rich 1.4,-* ings and apparel, as well as the scenery. , Cardinal Mar tinuzzi, the leading character, and about whom all the, events of the drama wheel, is gifted ,with the, same iuperabundanee of that priestly Jesuitry Which has in all ages distinguished the ponthf of the scarlet hat. The events on which the drama is founded hare all their origin in his deep-laid serpent-policy, and the , roots of ambition in his heart. The cradle of the regal house of Austria is, shortly after the birth of the child by the Empress of Duke John, imposed upon by the wily Car- dinal ; the rightful male heir is brought to his own Palace • --at Ermstadt, while a changeling, his own daughter, is substituted in the .younct Prince's stead ; the girl, of course, being reared as the future Queen of Transylvania: These things are all, as the Cardinal hopes, hid- in trusty darkness, and the disco very of certain documents which passed .between him self and his coadjutors at Court at the time, and which come subsequently into the hands of the Queen and King of Hungary, alone unravel the nefarious designs of the arch prelate, and ultimately defeat his schemes. For his own aggrandizement, he had premeditated marriage between the soi-disant Czarina of Hungary.(Miss Maywood), his daughter, and the.yating King Sigismund (Miss Fitz water), his ward ; but a rapid blasting of his political prospects takes place; and, at the marriage scene, poison is secretly administered him by the Queen Isabella (Mrs. Warner), who feigns to pledge him in a brimming cup; Castaldo (Mr. Elton), whose plans hare been thwarted by the Cardinal, stabs, by mistake, his daughter, whom he was embracing, and the curtain falls, like a fu neral pall, over the life and designs of - Martinttzzi. Martinuzzi, of the characters, is undoubtedly the ablest drawn. The quick intuitions- of the jesuitical priests— the clearness which his own quick apprehension possesses of piercing into the souls of others —the subtle and enthralling webs which his crafty policy have wove around himself, and the dread. earthquakes of spirit experienced - hn the frustration of his schemes, were - represented - by Mr. Phelps with great . i tragedial ability. The - gorgeous Queen-Mother, per smutted by Mrs. Warner, was an imperious part, and capable of power. It certainly might be cried out upon as a vexation that intermediate song and music should spoil the con tinuous current of the drama; as was the ease last night: by compulsion, but it must, nevertheless, be confessed, that Miss Collett rendered it an • intrusion far more pleasant than offensive. The play, on the whole, abounds with scatterings of poesy and good thought : it is throughout flowery- as the fields of Enna, perhapS to . an . over-luxuriance—a fault altogether on the right side. The house was very filly attended, and the play was encouraged with marked ap-• plattse. The entertainments concluded with a burletta in one act,, entitled the Mak and the Bonnet. LITERATURE. THE RED BOOK, or a PEEP AT THE PEERS. This is a picture of the hereditary wisdom drawn by the author of the " Black Book," and published at the small charge of fourpence by Mr. Cleave. It gives the title, age, marrine, Church patronage . , pensions and pay is the army navy, ottiCes, toiethirNlfff the incomz am, illtrereot „c +l_ Royal family, and a fearful picture it is. Same parts of it may be overcharged, and the coin meats occasionally too severe, but it contains too much truth, and shows that the Upper House. in the division of the people's money, has taken the lion's share. One has a snug pension of 9,/S9l. 17s. 4d., another has 2,0891., his brother 5,4961., with the odd shillings and pence; a fourth has pensions to the third generation, and sonic few have immortal pensions. King Ernest's share, independent of what he takes from his own subjects, is thus described : " Has received an annuity of 15,000/. for sixty-three years, 945,0001. ; has received another annuity of 6,0001. for forty-four years, 210,000/. His son, Prince George of Cumberland, has an annuity of 6,000/. which he. has received for thirteen years, 78,000/. ;- making a total cost 'to the country of one million two hundred and thirty three. thousand pounds sterling ! ! • The enormous incomes, and still more enor mous patronage of. the successors of the apos tles; are also carefully chronicled. Only think of one of this lowly race having an annual in come of 19,0001. a-year, with two palaces ; the patronage of 172 livings, with prebends, preach erships, and other ships out of number. Some few of the fighting Lords have pensions for ser vices rendered to the country, and one or two civil Lords have resigned theirs, when their own private property became too enormous to be concealed. This does not apply to the Marquiz, of Camden; and the compiler, therefore, justly selects hint from " the proud throng," with the following well-merited tribute:— " CAMDEN, M. OF.—George Charles Pratt, (four other titles) b. 1799 ; mar. dau. of Bp. of Rochester, 1,4591. ; Vice-Admiral and Deputy-Lieu. of Kent. This noble man's father was one of the tellers of the Exchequer, at a salary of 2,700/. In 1817, he resigned to the Public Treasury the fees of the office, amounting to 25,000/. per annum ; for which he received a vote,of thanks from the Commons. He then retired on a pension, 3,6831. for the remainder of his life. 'The present Marquis has returned the money received as fees since his father's death, and has nobly resigned all claim to future fees. He holds 12,000 acres of woodland in Kent.

Thielcke, which has a c q uired some ' celebrit y i n Canada. It has been lithographed, and on judging from the impression before us, the picture does honour. to the artist.

The sixteen most celebrated watermen on Tuesday con tended in an oars' wager, at Putney, fur a purse of sovereigns, given by the Noblemen and Gentlemen comprising the Lean der and London Amateur Scullers' Clubs. Tho reach of water selected for this trial of skill was the finest on the Thames, and owing to the beauty of the weather, and the in terest created by the match, there was, at an early hour in the day, a very fashionable and full attendance of company. At half-past four the following took their stations for the first heat :—Henry Maynard and John Doubledee, both of Lambeth, yellow ; John Williams, Waterloo Bridge, and George Everard, Old Barge-house, dark blue ; John Phelps and John Freeman, both of Pelham, red; Thomas Goodram, Vauxhall Bridge, and Charles Hill, Hungerford, brown. Blown had the best station, being the nearest the ;mint on the Middlesex shore, and the others were towards the Surrey side, in the order in which they stand in the list. The Leander, and others of the celebrated club beats, having moved to the bridge, the start took place. Brown took the lead for the first two or three yar ds, but as a p unt w as a little distance a-head in their course, they appeared to hesitate which side to row, and a moment's delay was the consequence. Red was second in the start, and yellow and blue scull and scull ; red gained on brown, and passed them by about half a length, when yellow dashed by both, and led the way up the reach, alter a slight and unintentional foul with red. Yellow retained their position all the way up, and made a strong push to round the boat, which was stationed jest above Hammersmith bridge first, in which they succeeded, closely followed by red, brown being third. 'The whole of the men then turned into the slack to row down against aide to Putney-bridge, an d brown began gaining upon red, and in the course of a q uar t er of a mile rowed by them outside, and in five minutes after went up to the leasing boat. A sharp struggle ensued, and when within a mile of the winning.post brown overhauled them, and went into the first place. Brown came in first, yel low second, red third. There was about ten yards between each of the boats. Immediately after this the following took their places for the second heat :—Henry Shelton and Robert Doubledee ' Lam beth, white; James Dodd, Hungerford, and Robert Newel, Battle-bridge, light blue; John Connoway, Horsleydosn, and John Kelly, Fulham, green ; George Campbell, West minster-bridge, and Joseph Godfrey, Strand-:age, pink. Pink had the station to the Middlesex shore. The start was very excellent. Pink and blue were beautifully together at first; white shot by them ; in an instant green touched blue, but not so as to occasion any inconvenience. White slashed up in advance of the whole of the party, and first rounded the boat, closely followed by light blue. White made a short cut to the shore ; blue shot longer, and out them out, taking the first place, which they kept, winning by a dozen yards. White was second, and pink third, close upon their quarter. t The gentlemen then sat down to a splendid dinner, at the 4", /,/2 EVENING SUN.- . THEODORE ri(JOK, ESQ.

His " Jack Brag" is perhaps his master- pieee ; at any rate, the chief cha racter is drawn with more breadth and vigour than its author ever evinced before or since and will give the-z reader a clearer insight into his peculiar turn of mind than any of his other productions.

POST.—The British Iro n Company had a special meeting to-day for th e purpo , e o f cons id er i n g a requisition issued by the body, calling itself the " United Shareholders," for the im mediate dissolution of the concern. There was a gaeat dciA of angry discussion b e t wee n the opposing parties. The Dircc ors and their friends insist d tha t whatever mi g ht be the ex pediency of ultimately breaking up the Company, the time for , yet arrived ; the adverse interest this hal not, in their o contending with equal. . , opinion, that if it continued to be liabilities would be incurred that would absorb carrieddesirable t on, , the remaining estate, which they think it• once be divided amang the proprietary. rs wried their point by a majority of 5:3 against 25.

We trust they begin to feel the truth of the doctrine we have always maintaiced, that the Bank of England could never be in a state of security while her issues depend upon the weather, and while on every occasion that there is a neces,ity to import corn from abroad, there must be a drain upon the bullion in the Bank coffers. It has been stated en good authority, in Parliament, that rho forthcoming harvest would fall short une.sixth or one-eighth of an average one ; that, too, is precisely' in accordance %vial the' estimation which our information led us to form of the probable yield. If it be a correct one, there roust be a drain upon the shouldwhfuo et further Bank to pay for two millions of quarters of foreign corn, which, at the rate of only 50s. a quarter (fully Bs. a quarter Wow the last prices of prime wheat at Dantzic), will amount to 5,000,003., and thus the last sovere:gn in the coffers of the Bank of England will be taken off. By the last sovereign in the coffers of the Bank, we do nut merely mean the bull'on repo.ing to meet a drain in the large houses in the City; but the whole stock cif gold beonging to the institution at head-quarters, and over all the ten branches which the Bank has established throughout England, a all of which the notes issued are payable in gold on demand. Such is the precarious condition in which the Bank of England is placed at this incment by the operation of the Corn-laws upon the currency. 'I his fact should be studied by the merchants, traders, and manufactimers. They must pet.. ce!re that another crisis is hanging over the money market, and that the Bank may p: obably be driven to a suspension di specie payments.
