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 somennapeountable reason, have been either altogether overlooked, se.treated almost with indifer ence, by the ordinary medical practitioner. The proverbial and well known rapacity of unqualified practitioners, who traffic on the health and credulity of patients, has 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, p ott i ng on all the outer appearances of consumption, which, however, when traced to their source, are found p r t i o n o r i e p s l u e l t o f from d c v r i t s a i i o r n i baneful p u r v a , c t i i s c e v s ~ o w fully b er o p m ro o v r e e s le than in medical p rac ti ce . We feel no hesitation in a 1 , th p at lio th ab e saying that there is no member of society by ehom 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 ss coalleledanTilmexoonlaursyivceonosruigmipntihona; b se e x a e rt s, i s i v se h a o so pe , ales, been the indulgence in certain destructive habits practised by tapes, of & w c. h , at the i than it is at all suspected. youth Tbom PRECEPTOR,more frequently also, who holds (temporarily at least), the relation and responsibility of a parent, will, and detecting the too often con cealed practices so o ft en i n troduced into schools, whereby the assisted in i nves ti ga ti n g by perusing this work, be directed and vetj much pupils are sure ts be corn health and ultim a t e ly th e , lives of his here find a c l ue t o gu id e hi m t h roug h th e i n t rica te m a z e s o f com promised, un l ess t h e ev il be arrested in proper time. He will this moral labyrinth, and a standard whereby to judge, when delicacy of health should appear to attack any of his young A charges, what the real 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 parent 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 tts estrous consequences which are sure to follow from them if not relinquished. resaidleesnseres: CNUo.R7Tlriathnd.stCveoe, .tasbo-sgl reotobectaornes, London. ulteddaily at their Country Patients are requested to he as minute as possible in the detail of their cases --as to the duration of the complaint, life o sy f - m en p o tom pa s v , ty a g; et, the eeneral communicationhabits nn oi liv , in s t be accompanied and b occupation in y e the usual Consultation Fee of 1/., without which no notice whatever can be taken of their application ; and in all oases, the most inviolable secrecy may be relied on.

Mail, SECRET EMPEROR OF CHINA. MEMORIAL TO THE (From the Canton Press.) The Impei4al Commissioner Yu-'seen, Lieutenant- Governor of Keangsoo, lays this msrnorial before the Great Emperor, praying that he will bestow thereon a sacred glance. Last year when the English foreigners arrived off Teen-tsin t o b au d up their statement of (alleged) grievances, their ships scarce exceeding five in num ber, and the place where they anchored was at Kookow (the mouth of the Peiho) a long way off the city of Teen tsin ; yet Keshen' in his fright and trepidation declared that " they were within the very precincts of the imperial residence of Sbing•king (or Muk-den) and that it behoved us to act with the utmost cau tion, as the whole of the coast of Chekeang had t been t a k en possession of. " And he also said, " that t s he u south shipso would b were w which coming number, and th at t h e whole of the country north and o ere inngt afterco confusion," i s o e n ,' w ' withoutthus seeking t o a b use t h e Imperial ear, scheming thereby to gloss over and conceal his utter want of preparation to meet the enemy.* And moreover he sent presents of bullocks and wine to the foreign soldiers, and ap pointed officers to say fine things to them. The consequence of which was that the mandarins of Che keang and Shantung followed up his vicious example by an unbroken series of banquets, until these rebellious robbers, whet had st orme d and plundered one of our walled cities, came to be viewed as guests So much so that Teo-Hwuy Poo, the Lieut.-Governor of Shantung, shnfiling over the matter says, " The said foreigners being delighted, formed a circle and made obeisance !" Now, I find that the said English foreigners are most stiff in the loins, and most straight in the legs, so much so that even when they see the King, of their country they make no obeisance whatever. During the reign of Kesking they came to Peking, and their Am bassador (Lord Amherst), because he could not kneel down and make an obeisance, was driven forth and sent home to his country. Tnis is a circumstance that may clearly proved at any time ; and such being the case, how could it possibly happen that after having stormed and plundered a city, and given a rein to their madness and perversity, on presents being made them at Shantung, officers and soldiers should form a circle and perform obeisance? This disgraceful piece of busi ness, which has tarnished the honour of our country, which has given rise to expressions intended to dupe and betray the too-confiding Son of Heaven (i. e. the Emperor), and which has made us a laughing-stock to those without as well as those within, had all its origin in the foolish way in which affairs were then conducted at Teen-tsin ; and this crime of being thrown into con sternation and using deceit, is the FIRST charge that I bring against Keshen. After that the said foreigners had returned to Can ton, their haughtiness got more unbearable than ever, and their greed and desire of extortion still greater than before. Every day the matter became more ur gent : Keshen at that time filled the highest rank, and ought imediataly to have assembled together Tartars and Chinese, laud troops, sailors, and militia ; he ought in his own person to have gone to the forts at the river's mouth, to have vigilantly guarded the most important passes, to have published a scale of rewards for meritorious conduct, to have token every means to inspirit his officers and men. But unable to be foremost to conquer them, he waited quietly till the robbers could conquer them, and then he could do nothing but find fault with the Brigadier, how that he was wanting in courtesy, and how that he made those and those mistakes, but took net the slightest precau tions either for active warfare or for defence. The offi cers thus had no honour left them to fight for, the men lost heart altogether, and the foreigners, seizing -the op portunity when they were off their guard, suddenly fired off their guns and muskets, attacked and got pos session of the farts, and cut our troops in pieces. Besides from two o'clock till four o'clock, P.m., in the space of a couple of hours, he made two dif ferent reports of the case, and speaking of our troops he uses the expression, " It is impossible for a handful of men to fight a multitude!" Now I find that at Canton, although the guns mounted in our ships of war may not be so fierce and strong as those of the foreigners, yet as regards our land troops, there is the (Tartar) garrison of the provincial city, there are soldiers of the Viceroy's standard, those of the Fooyuen's standard, those of the (Chinese) General's standard and the naval militia drawn from the sea-coast, forming a total of several tens of thousands of men, much more than ten times the number of the robbers, for the whole number of the foreign robbers now at Canton does not exceed several thousands, and the foreign soldiers only made use of two pointed fighting devil's ships (steam-boats !) which cannot carry at the most above a few thousands !—thus Keshen might easily have despatched a body of troops to cut off their retreat and annihilate them, but how happens it on the other hand that he allowed a thousand and more of the foreign banditti to go round the hill, and then attempt to explain it away by saying that " a handful of men could not fight a multitude ?" Keshen being lost to every sense of fear and shame, whenever the sulaject of the total want of military preparation and defence at Canton is introduced, excuses himself by laying the blame at the door of former Viceroys. I should like him to reflect for a moment, for upwards of a year and more before he arrived to fill the office (of Viceroy of Canton) those very soldiers of Canton pro vince had repeatedly slaughtered these same foreigners and gained a succession of victories over them ;t they had burned many of their ships and driven the rest far out to the ocean, where they dared no longer to come prying and spying about the coast ; all these (heroic) deeds were done without requiring to draw troops from the other provinces, and yet we never heard of such a thing as the army losing heart or their valour being blunted! This crime, then, of being absent from the post of danger, of making no preparation to resist the enemy, and thereby tarnishing the honour of the country, is the SECOND charge that I have to bring against Keshen. Although we had unfortunately lost the forts of Tai kok and Sba-kok, still there remained to us no less than eight fortified places in and about the Bocce Tigris. Of these, the Wei yucn fort (Lower Annung-hoy ?) the Kung koo fort (Upper Annung-hyy ?) and the Yung gan fort (Wangtong?) stand tripod fashion on the sides of three hills, and are secured by strong iron chains thrown across. The difficulty of skipping or flying over these was as great as heaven itself! that was the mo ment when he ought promptly to have stationed valiant marine soldiers there to make a stout defence, he him self ought to have galloped to the spot to take the command, and give orders for the disposition of the troops, thereby to set men's minds at rest Lnd infuse ardour into his soldiers ; while he did all this on the spot, he ought at the same time to have sent a commu nication to seize the golden opportunity of putting the invaders to the sword and getting back our own terri tory, in this way rendering the head and tail (i. e. the Canton division and the Tinghae division) of the ban ditti incapable of rendering each other's support or as sistance. At that time there were only some 20 odd ships at Tinghae, and the half of those were merchant men ; besides, neither Elliot nor Bremer had returned to Chekeang, and the whole affairs there were left under the charge of a single footseang or brigadier 4 Moreover, after that Elliot had captured tho forts he left his ship and went on shore.,t What a glorious op portunity that was to have seized him ; but the very reverse is the case, for we find that in all 'else documents,he has sent up to Court he does not say a syllable about the plans he is laying to extorniinate the'English, or the measures he is taking for defence, but -again and again urgently begs that the troops may be delayed, and words to that effect, and makes use •of dlingerous expressions (threats?) wherewith -to back his- memo rials to your Majesty. And, further, he writes up to E le poo, at Chekeang, in the most importunate man ner, desiring that he will not advance with his troops, and immediately followi this up by the gift of Hong KOng, and an arrangement by which the English are at once per mitted to re-open their trade at Canton city, Thus, not the very teeth of th e recor d e d w ill only does he act in of the late Emperor Kaou t K een-lung) but (:. e . but he does not even wait until Tinghae had been re stored, when be ought humbly to have begged the ma nifestation of- the Imperial pleasure to see whether your Gracious Majesty consented to the terms or not. By this arrangement, the foreigners first got a port secured to them, and afterwards they restored Ting hae—thus, as it were, trucking one portion of our terri tory against another, and methinkl i thereby the Celestial dynasty obtained a great accession of dignity ! In another point - of view, he first permitted the English to re-open their trade, and gave . them their territory, and afterwards informed your Majesty of the transac tion ; thus putting those acquisition s on some ot h er footing than a manifestation of Imperial goodness! In fine, these said rebels, having seized by force one having slaughtered of our walled cities,d our soldiers and civilians, and having spread their poison among our common people, their crimes could not be greater— their cup of iniquity was filled to the brim ; and yet, to put all this on one side, as if it were nothing to act madly and perversely to the degree he has done, involves Keshen in the crime of undue assumption of your Majesty's power; and thi s i s the THIRD charge that I have to bring against him When Kesben was at Canton, and when he gave the foreigners Hong Kong in exchange for Chusan, he ought at least to have settled distinctly that the whole of the foreign ships in Che-keang should be delivered d o f doing this he forwards a docu ment from the " Barbarian eye (Elliot) to E le poo, in which there is the following sentence:--" In reference to tlw goods and merchandise on board the foreign cargo ships in the harbour of Chusan, I beg that you will assemble the Ning-po merchants and induce them to go thither to buy them up." Now, I fiad that when these said foreigners weer! at Tinghim they eold off an immense quantity of opium. Last winter many of the distressed inhabitants of the district banded up statements to that effeat, which may be au theitticated. Thus, then, it follows that the said fo reigners wished to follow up their ilLcit traffic in opium, the same as previously, only with the Niogpo merchants, by way of change. How happens it that, when Keshen wa3 at Canton treating of peace, he did not come to some certain understanding upon this mat ter, so as to cut up the noxious creeper by the very roots ? This crime, then, of irregularity and of basely accommodating matters to our serious hurt, is the FOURTII charge which I have to bring against Keshen. The terms " Barbarian eye," " Company," " Super intendent," &c., are just so many expressions used to denote the principals among the foreign merchants, quite on the same principle as we, in China, call our " hong merchants," or " security merchants," &c. The old-established custom at Canton was, that if these foreigners had anything to complain of, they petitioned the Viceroy through the Keun min Foe of Macao, when they merely styled themselves " mer chants from a distance," or "employes from a distance," as the case might be, and the Viceroy or Foo yuen in reply commanded the Keun min Foo to impress the orders on " said Superintendent," or whoever it might be ; these forms have beeu established for a long time, and numerous documents are in our archives, which can easily be referred te. But from last year, when he went to Che-keang and Teen-tsin (Elliot) has handed up documents which he calls "clear communications (on an equal footing)," and rashly arrogates to himself the tiee of " His Excellency the public Envoy." Nay more, Keshen not having the slightest iota of dis crimination, actually styles him in his despatches " the Honourable Commissioner" forsooth! thus bending down the-high Celestial dynasty to treat with a parcel of fo reign duffers and jobbers as its equals! Oh, what a loss of national dignity is here! If all the foreign mer chants of the different foreign countries, crowding one on the heels of the other, borrow this as an excuse to imitate the evil example, how shall we be ever able to govern them ? Upon what principle Call we be majes tically stern towards all other nations, and tamely put up with insults from the English foreigners alone ? Or, conversely, by what secret can we, while bending under the insults heaped upon us by the English, awe the other foreign countries by a display of Celestial majesty ? The crime, then, of having; lowered the dignity of our nation, and having thereby provoked a bloody and mortal war, is the FIFTH charge which I lay at the door of Keshen. • According to my tremble and stupid view of matters, a high officer commanding on the frontiers ought to. have some little dignity and foresight in order to he able to subdue and keep down the outside foreigners. At Macao, in the province of Kwang-tung, are assembled merchants from several tens of countries in the greet and little western oceans, these are all looking on to see who will prove the weaker and who the stronger party, and as it is our success, so will they turn their faces towards or their backs upon the Celestial dyeasty ; for the noise of our struggle has been spread abroad all over the seas. If it so happens that the English attain their object, then this will more than ever inflate the pride of all the foreigners, and set their evil designs a working ; words cannot express the fatal consequences to which this would give rise ! Keshen, having blunted the high mettle of our soldiery, having tarnished the honour of our country, and having, per fics et nefas, begged conditions (for the foreigners) which it was impossible to grant, Las brought the English to look upon us with contempt, and caused that all the various nations of the western ocean no longer esteem us as they once did. If he be permitted to rennin longer at Canton he must sedu lously apply himself to disseminate his evil example in order the more effectually to screen his particular crimes ; and the evil, it is to be feared, will not step with our inability to restrain the influx of opium, and to get rid of the daily increasing pestilence of the dis tant foreigners. From days of old until now these outside foreigners have only known to dread our majesty, they Lever knew what it was to harbour in their bosoms any prin ciple of good ; therefore, in governing the barbarians} you must first make a fearful example by mas sacring a part, in order that you may be able afterwards to rule the rest. From the time of the Sung dynasty till the time of the Ming dynasty, our frontiers were at different epochs subjected to their cruel inroads; those of us who wished to vindicate the honour of their country by force of arms were the faith ful and wise statesmen; those who wished to compro mise and regarded not the national dignity, were the traitors and parasites ; those who viewed matters as re lated to posterity were the clear-headed and valiant of our warriors ; while those who were content to sacrifice everything for temporary repose, numbered none save the timid and the bass! The fame of the might and majesty of our great, pure dynasty for the last 200 years has caused all distant lands to tremble, and the barbarians of the four quarters have been awe-struck and dismayed ! From times of the most remote antiquity we never heard anything of the " English barbarians !" these are nothing► more than a gang of rascally merchants linked together by illegal ties,--a banditti leagued for the express purpose of selling opium ; and what then must we think of Keshen, who so often praises these outside barbarians, and puffs off their " superior attain ments" as a means to coerce and constrain the Govern ment of the Central land ? I, your Majesty's Minister, have partaken largely of Imperial goodness ; I dare not look with kindness or compassion on what my heart resents with disgust and indignation, which might lead otherwise to rendering of no avail our important plans for the defence of the frontier ; therefore it is that with the utmost sincerity I have poured out my heart in this secret memorial on which I pray your Imperial Majesty to cast one sacred glance. Aid further I have heard that when foreigners arrive at Canton they must employ our Chinese people t.) act as compradores. These compradores are, in fact, so many native traitors ; it is they who first teach the monkey to climb the tree (i. e. point out to foreigners the path of mischief). Formerly when Tang ting-ching was Viceroy of Canton, he reported to your Majesty that the rascally foreign merchant Dent, whom he had driven out, had a compradore called PaoLutsung, who was the most wicked villain among the whole of the depraved brotherhood. The vagabond, having the ordcers of justice at his heels, fled to Shan-tung, from which place he proceeded to Pih-chilee, whero be changed his name to Paou-pung. He there foregathered with Keshen, who took him with him to Canton, and made him his bosom friend and confidant, and made use of him as a go-between when he had any business to consult with Elliot, which circumstances arc in the highest degree strange and suspicious ! When Keshea writes, " the said (English) foreigners say, we must fight with you first, and then we can trade with you afterwards 1" it is hard to believe that it was not this traitor who spied for him and brought him this report, after that he had instructed (the 'English) to say so. I, your Majesty's Minister, am certainly of opinion, that unless this Paou.tsung be put to death, the affairs of the foreigners must remain unsettled ; and therefore I now beg of your Majesty to send secret instructions to the imperially appointed rebel-quelling General Yih shan and his subordinate colleagues Lung-w an an d Yang -tang, that they examine every hole and corner about Keshen's dwelling if there be such a person as Paou pung ; and if he be indeed the very compradore Peon tsung, let him be secretly arrested and sternly inter rogated (by torture) as to the nature of his traitorous communication ;—let him then be beheaded and his bead exposed on the sea shore, as a warning to others, which may cut off the evil of illicit intercourse between those within and those without. I, your Majesty's Minister, having beard this, dare not, because the case may not have legal proof, sit and tamely look on as with my mouth sealed, while Keshen is being involved in the toils of native traitors and ban ditti. I, therefore, send in a secret memorial for this spacial purpose along with my other, h op i ng th a t your Majesty will graciously cast a glance upon it, and cau s e that its prayer be duly put into effect. A most re spectful memorial. Our copy has. no date, but we presume that it was tame written Elliot tten wasortly knownafter Keshen's pkn, say betweenshenesitreatyofpeace the h with l s Cap. t February and Ist March, 1841. e The reader will bear in mind that Keshen was at this time Viceroy of PilLhelee, and had any disturbance then taken place with our ships, he would have been held re sponsible. f These are the fabulous victories of poor Kwan, Kow lung, Chuenpee, Bilbaino, Black Joke, &c. Captain Bourehier's Chinese title while commanding at Chusan was, " the Foutseang Bourchier." § We think there is a clerical error here, and that it ought to read " the whole of the foreign ships in Chekeang to sail away immediately." THE HARVEST ivlousE.—The smdiest of British quadrupeds is supposed to be the harvest MMISP, hitherto found only in Hampshire, an d w hi ch is s&di minutive, that two of them put into a scale just weighed down one copper halfpenny. One of the nests of these little animals.was procured by Mr. White. It was most artificially platted, and composed of wheat blades, and perfectly round, about the size of a cricket ball. It was so compact and well. filled, that it would roll across a table without being discomposed, though it contained eight young ones. This wonderful cradle was found in a wheat field suspended in the head of a thistle.—Licer pool Chronicle. SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOIJRNALS. FROM TIIE nem?. PAPERS OF YESTERDAY. CHRONICLE.---Some of our contemporaries are rail ing, apparently very much at random, on the Chinese subject ; one of them with a violence .which naturally puts people on their guard, and those who are put on their guard, will be disposed to ask--Do these writers who have objected in turn to the course taken in every vicissitude of Chinese affairs know what they would themselves have done, or what is the aim, end, and pur pose that they would keep in view? According to them, when Captain Elliot took possession of Hong Kong, but without immediate payments of cash, it was not an island that was wanting—it was money—it was in demnity. Now that lie has sent six millions of dollars to Calcutta, he is no better than a robber and plun derer for taking the money, and it is the city of Can ton that he ought to have taken. When there was some doubt whether the trade of, the season would be got through, the question was a purely commercial one, and nothing in the world could compensate for the evils of delay ; anything ought to have been hazarded rather than interrupt the trade, in comparison with which (and this is perfectly true) the value of the opium sinks into insignifieance. But, when Captain Elliot managed to get hostilities suspended till all the tea was sent home, he was a wretched tea-monger, who bartered the honour of his country for mere trading considerations. It is easy to assail an officer who is serving his country, in most critical circumstances at the other end of the world, and who, for his country's ser vice, may find it Isis dtity to oppose the interests of many parties, both on the .spot and in this country, and whose transactions are communicated to us by Indian newspapers in the • interest of his opponents. Those who have read the despatches of Captain Elliot, laid before Parliament in March, 1840, can not bat know that if he has committed errors, they can be no other errors than such. as an able, pru- Teteinteleikii - 14 capable of. It is very possible that Captain Elliot may have committed errors, and since he was recalled by his Govern ment, that was Clearly their opinion; but what those errors were, and what may be his vindication, no one can know who has not had access to his despatches, and the last of his despatches which has been printed for Parliament is that of the 16th of November, 1839. The present complaint is, that he has not suff e red C an t on t o be taken by as sau lt ; and we ask again, what are the objects which his duty and the interests of this country require him to keep in view? Military glory is an ex cellent thing, and very satisfactory to the people at first, and until they are called upon to pay for it in taxes. Promotions in the army and navy are pleasant, and prize-money is precious to those who get it, who are generally the lawyers engaged in the litigations. But these were not the immediate objects of the expedition to China. Neither was slaughter the object; nor was it intended to lay the foundations of an Anglo-Chinese empire. And if these were not the objects, Captain Elliot may have had very good reasons for not taking Canton by assault. HERALD.--The quarter's revenue ending on Satur day evening, the tabular returns of which will be found in another column of to day's Herald, shows a slight improvement in the public receipts, the increase on the three months being two hundred and forty-one thousand seven hundred and twenty-one pounds ; and that on the preceding twelve months being t wo h un d re d and forty eight thousand one hundred and forty-eight pounds. Although the increase in the Customs is but small, it is satisfactory to remark that the augmentation in the im port duties has been from sugar ; thus con firming the predications of the Conservative party during the debates on the budget propositions. The principal increase on the quarter has however been in the Excise, and. on the cause of this increase we cannot congratulate the public, as in all probability it has arisen out of the profusion, the treating and the im morality ,of the general election. If we be correct in this supposition, this very augmentation may be taken as affording some estimate of the injury done to public morals by elections as at present conducted, and is a strong practical argument for the necessity of repressive legislation on this important subject —to which indeed Sir Robert Peel has pledged himself that his Go vernment shall turn their attention during the re cess. It will be remarked that the Post-office reve nue continues to decrease, to the utter discomfiture of the prophecies of Messrs. Warburton, Villiers, Cobden, and Rowland Hill, and the other great political economists of the age. The decrease on the year is two hundred and sixty-eight thousand pounds, and on the quarter seven thousand pounds. The annual decrease in this department shows the complete financial error on which the absurd postage scheme was based. The cacoethes scribendi, or epistolary mania, caused by the cheap novelty being now almost over, we may anti cipate a gradual falling off in the - Post-office receipts, until their amount as a Treasury contribution is unwor thy of notice, and the conveyance of the mails becomes a source of expense and not of revenue to the nation. Two facts are now almest universally admitted, that the reduction in the rate of postage was made to a ridicu lously low rate; and that Mr. Rowland Hill is at present an extremely well-paid servant of the public, for having seriously damaged the revenue. TIMES.— The military honour of Great Britain, not withstanding his sportive feats at Canton, has been brouglit by him into such contempt, that in proportion as Elliot has dallied with the Mandarins, the Emperor's manifestoes have risen in impudent bombast. Then, as to the expense of this protracted buffoonery, we beg our readers to recollect that, apart from the opium-confisca tion, for which no adequate indemnity has yet been re ceived, this country has long been obliged to maintain in China a costly armament, consisting of ten ships of war, with propertionable • complement of land forces. Look, too, at the hopeless prospect of continued bloodshed. All the human life heretofore expended in the contest has gone for nothing. A renewal of hostilities must ensue, and perhaps a deadlier slaughter than any that has yet occurred. Wlegreas, by a vigorous and unyielding prosecution of footer successes, the whole dispute might have been finally adjusted more than a year ago. Our trade interests, too, have been in jured in an equal degree; nor, in consequence of Captain Elliot's invincible folly, in having once more withdrawn to Hong Kong without securing a satisfactory or ra tional compensation for the past, can we possibly fore see to what extent our interrupted commercial relations may yet be destined to suffer. But Captain Elliot has at length actually forced a compensation from the Chi nese. To an extent, let 113 ask, that will either cover the opium confiscation, or re-imburse the British Go vernment for its enormous outlay in obtaining it ?—No such thing ; he has contented himself with a mere frac tional composition. And upon whose authority has this composition been actually allocated and applied ? By the authority of her Majesty ? No, but at the sole pleasure of her Majesty's Plenipotentiary, Captain Elliot. And to whom has it been appropriated by that wise and potent -arbiter ? To the Chancellor of the Exchequer for the purpose of helping to liquidate a portion of the nation's expenses ? No, indeed ; but out of the six millions of dollars agreed for, five millions have been given to the opium smugglers at Canton, and the residue is kept in hand, to be used as Captain Elliot pleases. POST.—The revenue of Excise has always been re garded by statesmen as the most certain index of the general condition of the people.. But we find from the comparative receipts in this department during the years ending respectively on the 10th of October, 1840 and 1841, that the people were in so much worse a condition, were so much more restricted in the consumption of the various articles which contribute to the Excise revenue during the year 1840, as to keep the receipts under that head 872,0001. below the amount to which they have at tained during the present year. The questions must na turally occur, why did the Whigs withhold their finan cial and commercial experiments for the relief of dis tress during the year 1840, when distress was at its height ?—why did they then propose no other measure of relief than a direct increase of the rate of taxation ? why did they defer the exhibition of their pretended sympathy with the sufferings of the people until th ose sufferings_ were evidently alleviated by circumstances wholly independent of any measure of theirs ? These questions admit of but one answer. The position of the Whig-Radical Government in'Parliament and the coun try had made it a matter of party necessity with them to attempt to create an agitation in 1841 which i n 1840 they had thought it expedient to avoid. It is thus only that their course can be rationally explained. Their desperate projects of the present year, in relation to corn, sugar, and timber, were adopted in the hope, not of re lieving the people, but of saving themselve s . • ADVERTISER.—By the official returns of the quarter's revenue this day before our readers, it appears that there is an increase for the year, as compared with the preceding, of 2 48,1481., of which 241,7211. is to the credit of the last quarter. In the Excise there has been an increase for the year of 87 9 ,5471., of which 244.617 L is for the quarter ; and in the Customs for the year the decrease is 667,5221., though the quarter shows an increase of 74,3401, which last item may be attributed to the inundation of upwards of one million and a half quarters of corn, which took place when. the gambling speculators of Mark-lane, and not the fair average price of grain, had reduced the duty to it s l owest level of one shilling. Since, therefore, the increase of Customs is solely attributable to the forced and fraudulent introduction of corn, it furnishes in other respects no cause of congratulation to the com merce 'ti erce of the country. So much f ' or the sliding scale The farmer is compelled at the very season when he must sell his p ro d uce , to pay hi s rent an d g e neral expenditure, to compete w ith th e grower o f f ore i g n corn,, w o, or rather i.e with its Briti t l i i mpor t er a t a d u ty o f one shi for the rest of the year, the greater part of f the market at growth corn being thus forced into most unfavourable prices, the bread -eatest measure left at the mercy of corn-jobbers, ianroerienreacgkrleesast and unprincipled in their speculaxteihoannsgtehin Yetthe itnhoisstidseasn prate gamblers on the Stock E affair upon present Cabinet requires four which the months for deliberation, beforeitie c n_and, d an even accordingly, t r ai i i ngl) .opi nion, much less arrive at a conclusion--and, while the jobbers swindle, and the people legislators are dismisseds to tarve. Such is the present as- .iriect of our politicaland social system under the sliding scale—that ingenious ticrice of official knavery ! GLOBE.—The late Government derneastr ted thall taxation had reached its utmost limit of production, and that, to endeavour to raise the revenue by adding to th e imposts already existing, would: be to increase the burdens of the pegple, and to diminish, in s t ea d o f en hancing the nation income. lieu, they proposed an en - . • tire r ev i s i on o f the import duties, with' a view to their equalization. Thi s , t h ey contended, wouldgive an impetus to our paralyzed trade and commerce—provide employ ment for the thousands of our operative manufacturers deprived of employment, and consequently of the means or adequate subsistence--and thus meet the exigencies ofiwith the outgr tat e e a i t n ly tl , i i e ncre on a l ng w a y in which th e y can be met, the distresses and inflaming the discontents of the people. In this course, in which prudence enforced the dictates of patriotism, the late Ministers Were oppoSed and defeated by the con tined forces of the monopolists. The interests of the corn- Inunity were sacrificed at the'Shrine of selfishness ; and thousands of families doomed to privation, and many more to want verging on 'starvation, that 'the' class-in terests might maintain a doubtful advantage. The tables before us • confirm the views taken by the late Govern ment ; and, notwithstanding the . clumsy and ill-timed gratulations of the Post, will go far to • convince the country that it is approaching a gulph which can only be avoided by interposing measures similar to those proposed by the late Government —measures which a considerable portion of Sir Robert Peel's Government have expressly denounced, but for which the Premier is evidently . yeserving himself. To the Cabinet the an nouncement of such intentions will be fatal. • STANDARD.—Where was ? This is a ques don which, a few weeks ago, would h ave rece i ve d an swers from every plac e in which profitable patronage could be dispensed, as numerous as those that replied to the call " Mr. Smith is wanted," in the pit at Drury lane. At present our question is more definite, " where was Elliot ?" we mean the Elliot—the man who sold the honour of the British name and the fruit of British gal lantry and skill for certain bags of dollars—the man placed, as it appearS, by the late Ministry, in the chief command of the naval and military forces in the Chinese seas —where was he on the 24th of May, a day by the way, doubly auspicious, as the birth-day of our Queen, and as the commencement of a series of victories glorious to her arms? Where was Elliot on the 24th of May, and on the three following days? As yet we believe no one is able to answer the question. All we know is, that he was not where he ought to have been if he was to exercise, as. unhappily he did exercise, the command of the expe dition. lie was not with Sir H. Gough, he was not with 'Sir Senhouse, he was not with the army or the fleet that he commanded. He was at some place so distant that a naval officer had to ride hard a whole night to carry his communications to the military and naval commanders. The gen tl eman i n quest iO n , it is true, mistook his read ; but a man used to move by the c.nnpass could not haVe mistaken it for a whore night unless he had been under the guidance of some ,mischievous " Tony Lumphini" -which is not pre tended. Looking to the event, one is sorry, not that lie missed his way, but that he found it so soon. But three quarters of .an hour later, and the British flag—the glorious red cross—would have waved over . Canton —not, as the Globe tenderly sug gests, at the expense of hewing through solid columns of human flesh. We wonder where were our con temporary's fine feelings when the explosion at Acre was announced—not at the expense of hewing through solid columns of human flesh—the columns would have found themselves feet soon enough—but with the advantage of disarming and dispersing some scores of thousands of enemies that have been permitted to re tire with their arms, and in perfect organization, in order to take up a more favourable position—with the greater advantage, too, of dictating terms from. Canton—terms which dictated from that place must have been accepted, and must have put an end to the war. But we repeat our question, " where was Elliot ?" Why was he not with the expedition that lie commanded? COURIgR.—The more remarkable feature in these revolutionary developments in Spain consists in the cir cumstance, which would now seem to. be .decisively esta blished, of the league and united co-operation of -the Carlists with the Christinos. Herein is the special peril for Espartero, for of herself it may truly be said that in Spain the partisans of Maria Christina are neither numerous nor powerful of themselves. There is no principle which they represent, and consequently no com mon bond of action. They consist for the most part of men whose selfish and ambitious views have been dis appointed, or whose envy and hatred have been stimu lated by the extraordinary advancement and aggrandise ment of Esparterd, the fortunate soldier, so lately their equal only, or their inferior in station, and now supreme Dictator of Spain and the Indies These, With the in termixture of a few adherents to the ex-Regent from motives of personal regard, and few they are, for • her conduct of late years was not calculated to increase the number or retain even all those before, attached, con stitute the whole of the so-called Christine party. Thc Moderado pa r ty, as wretc h e dl y represented by men of tainted character and broken fortunes, or of an ambition as unprincipled as they are destitute of capacity, such as the Isturizes and Torenos, can bring no accession of strength to whatever party they espouse, but on the reverse' must be an clement of weakness and discou ragement, so odious have they rendered them selves in the eyes of the whole nation by their former career of corrupt misgovernment or scandalous betrayal of principle. The case is widely different with the Carlists and the Clergy, embodied privately and publicly as a united compact mass all over the kingdom, imbued with the same convictions, animated for contest • by the same passions, prejudices, and interests, With wrongs to mean rout to retrieve, and former ascend ancy to regain. How this most powerful of all Spanish parties may have been beguiled into strict alliance with former deadly foes, it is hardly necessary to inquire, for, in truth, leis- no uncommon event in the history of con tending parties and c i v il war f are to find ancient foes combining to sink mutual jealousies and disputes, and making. joint-head against the one irresistible power by which both had been vanquished, and were. forcibly held in subjection. It is, however, impossible not to suspect the existence of French agency and intrigue in the work of this singular combination, the quid pro quo of which. may consist in a pre-concerted match between one of the sons of Louis Philippe and the young Queen Isabella, by which the favourite saying of Louis XIV. that it n-y a plus de Pyrennecs, might more truly be rendered a reality than even in the days of the Grand Monarque ; or, it may be, that the disputed rights of succession are to be merged and amalgamated in the marriage of the eldest son of Don Carlos with the little Queen. This, it is known, was always the favourite project of Zeaßer mudez, who, we see, is spoken .of in the Paris Press as one of the advisers of Maria Christina. :ONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS, FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF YESTERDAY. • TIMES.—The American intelligence was read with a great deal of interest in the city this morning, and the conjectures as to the final result of the M'Leod question were various and uncertain. At present opinion seems to lean against the continuation of friendly relations between this country and the United States, and this opinion having extended itself to the Consol Jlarket, it bore. in the early hours of business, an unhealthy appear ance. But it was not till some heavy sales were made, and, as it is supposed,in a quiet and covert manner, that the effect was perceptible to the full extent. Towards the close of business the decline became so rapid that the market was seized with panic symptoms, and, while the fall in the value of Consols may be estimated at !per cent the jobbers are in a state of uncertainty as to the real position of affairs, making quotations which die not to be considered strictly accurate. Such a Movement ' as this having been 'of late a rare occurrence, the most experienced of the dealers are at a loss to divine the real cause which produced a fall so momentous, since, although a general gloom could be accounted for by the nature of the American intelligence, followed by the operation of those in the American interest, that seems to them hardly sufficient to account for this sudden decline. The speculators for the fall of course took the opportunity of forwarding their objects, when they per ceived the weakness of the market, but without they brought a very strong force to bear upon it, the origin of the movement can scarcely be supposed to. lie with them. These were the facts and opinions that presented themselves at the moment to the minds of thok who have the opportunity of judging of Such matters there, but such was the agitated , state of all interested; that it was difficult to arrive,at any fixed view, especially as the sudden run came upon the market shortly Wore its close. wh en natura l ly enough each was occupied with his own individual interest. IX/ST.—The fall in Consols mid other permanent Stocks was ascribed to various causes.
