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 s o p revalent 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 ' , fleets of certain depraved habits, fully establish their claim to the character of experienced and judicious surgeons. To quote passages from the work in proof of our assertion would be departing from the established rules of the daily press. The result, however, of our careful perusal of the work, has been to impress us with a thorough confidence in the talent and of youth and are t n o e s t ati a sf l y it u u s e t i h a a d t eb t t h e o d se te e t t eta ruste fa d r wit skillthe °C the are fur nishing them with a means of preventing some of the most fewe Messrs. nlblaye kelsa Cr claim u wt r o ti ts coming'se w e ho character ae , cf oterthe entitled o f publicb e 1 l a es n at h r ia o cu o t el d yh , ' p ' a r subject o sj the se n ia e otn o wa f lh,i eath frightful maladies to which flesh is heir. — Old England. 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 given of this work by an intelligent friend, we ventured to open its pages, and now feel no hesita tion in saying that we arise from its perusal instructed and edified. The clear exposition of the source of many of those diseases which proves so fatal to youth, and which are set down by the every-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 mely satisfactory. We say " satisfactory," inasmuch as Messrs. Curtis have shown that many diseases, such as Pulinointry Consumption, Epilepsy , &c., hitherto the opprobria of medi cine, may, when taken in proper time, and submitted to judi cious treatment, bo brought to as favourable a termination as any other class of affections. We do not think we go too far in saying that society is deeply indebted to the authors for producing so useful, so much wanted, so valuable, and so truly moral a book.—Conservative Journal. .9 We recommend the work entitled " Manhood, &c., to the careful peru sa l of persons of all classes. The moral as well as physical advantages sure to result from such perusal, will be most readily recognised and felt by those who stand most in need of them.—Statesman. Messrs.

It is recorded of Byron that after the funeral obse quies of his mother had left the house, he put on the 1 boxing-glove, and attempted to control, and thus hide his struggling emotions by a desperate resort to a fa vourite recreation. The speech of Sir Robert indicates to us the same purpose. His laughter is not natural—. his jokes_ anything 'but—genuine. The smile which he wears in his countenance is a rigid one—a constriction of muscles, not a relaxation—a thing of the head rather than the heart. thoughts come not from within him-Lthey look gay but they have no life in them--they breathe not—they are destitute of soul. Everything about them is artificial. They are nut bloom, but paint. Their high colouring is not blood sent up through every vessel by a joyous heart—but carmine laid on with little skill to hide the pallor produced by anxious fear. Rhe torical jesting is Sir Robert's mode of whittling—and whittling here as in America, in proportion as it is pains taking and energetic, indicates thoughts absent from the employment, and engaged ia grappling unsuccessfully with a theme too mighty for them to master. He pa rades his rank and file topics (to change the figure), as a General does his sentinelS and watch-fires, as a blind behind which to effect a retreat, and while thus scheming to deceive the 'country into a belief, that so confident is he of success as to be able to a dvance the main forces of his mind to the confines of the ludicrous, he is really oc cupied in anxious investigation as to the possibility of his long maintaining any position whatever, in the land of office, which he has surprised by a coup de main. All the circumstances which distinguished the posi tion of the expectant premier, called fur a manly and dignified, even though it might be a cheerlul, gravity. A great statesman, one would have imagined, if he could have descended on such an occasion to deal with the little and the vulgar, would have been rebuked by the recollection that he was virtually addressing himself to all the political assemblies of the civilised world, and that his speech would fill a page in the records of universa history. Such a man, one might-have expected, deeply impressed with a sense of his solemn responsibility ; foreseeing that the issue of the present crisis, whether for weal or woe, would assume a character of importance s unprecedented h m i n sel o f ur r e a s n o n u a r l e s e ; s a i e l q d u , a conscious of e i po ge s n s c e y s would, in his first public ,manifesto, have modestly sur veyedg glance a h is t the o Nv n real pos to encounter, laid bare to t heir source the evils which nr d aP iffi al cublutie comprehensive which he ehas now afflict the country , po inted out the sufficiency of and formidable take Conservative principles to supply a remedy, and, re serving to himself the liberty of deciding hereafter upon the minor details of his policy , g iven to the world abroad and vigorous outline of the co urse he intended to p ursue in his efforts to save the sinking vessel of the State. Instead of this, we have a series of heavy jokes levelled at newspaper editors and affronted publicans. In the place of a grave state oration, Sir Robert gives us the ill-managed quips and quiddities of a sorry jester. In the eye of Europe, lie comes forward upon the stage, and where we looked to hear the calm and measured lan guage of philosophy, and to witness the s ta id sob riet y and dignified bearing of a statesman, we see nothing but the commonest antics of a third rate debater ; and the Hon. Baronet snaps his fingers, slaps his thigh, plays the buffoon, and cries, " When I get into power, you Shall see vat you shall see.'" We have been irresistibly re minded by his speech of vain-glorious Bottom the weaver, during the period of his strange but unconscious transformation. The ethereal beauty of the Queen of Fairies, the witchery of her tones, the exquisite poetry of her language, the soft enchantment which, like sunlight, lent charms before un known to the delicious scenery around him, were all thrown away upon the rude and boorish Athenian me charN, and elided nothing in response from him above the level of " Scratch my head, Peas-blossom." Nothing has so painfully impressed us, as this' speech, with a sense of the inherent vulgarity of Sir Robert's mind. A man who can be thus elated by vanity is not the man competent to stand at the helm in times like these, and take the vessel of the State through " the devil's grip," amid the howlings of the storm which is brewing overhead. No ! this is not the man to make the very fury of the tempest subserve the purpose of a commanding intellect and an indomitable will—to rise superior to the impassioned elements of strife, and ride upon the mountainous and hoary-headed billows of poli tical discontent, to national quiet and prosperity. He may be able to manage better than other men, the crew to whom the working of the ship is confided— but his is not the calm consciousness of power, and unflinching steadiness of purpose, that will dare to look a north-wester in the face, and take no other notice of the lightning's flash, than to avail himself of the momentary glare to peer further a-head upon the waste of waters. Afraid to put boldly out to sea in the teeth of the swelling blast, and sympathising with the timidity of passengers who think they can be no longer safe when they have lost sight of shore, be will attempt to coast it, and will be caught among the shallows. Then, when his danger becomes apparent to every eye, and the crew that he contrived to govern discover, his incompetency for his post, he will be compelled, amid the jeers of every party, to give place to some less dexterous, but more courageous and skilful pilot. The speech of Sir Robert Peel, even viewed apart from his previous course, gives sufficient indication that, under Tory as well as Whig rule, we are to have a temporising, compromising, peddling policy. The aristocrat bureau and red-tape statesmen have not yet played out their part. Their days, though numbered, have not yet run out. Perhaps it is better that it should be so. The coun try is not yet sufficiently in earnest to appreciate the worth of great principles. Serious men are the offspring of serious times. They are nurtured in adversity. Their powers are called out by perilous exigencies. Some such, we doubt not, are now quietly and unconsciously ma turing themselves for future greatness, communing with truth, strengthening principle by daily exercise, and storing up knowledge which, at no distant period, will be of infinite service to the State. Such men, all passing cir cumstances are doing much to educate. Their time is not yet come. But it rapidly approaches—and whenever it does arrive, One thing is tolerably certain, that Minto manifestoes and Tamworth speeches will be buried amid the rubbish of an obselete age of politics. SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. PRICE od jealousy of German competition ; they instinctively feel that all attempts to arrest the progress of industry in other nations would be as unjust as it would be absurd, and that, as Uncle Toby said to the fly that buzzed about his venerable nose, there is room enough in the world for both German aad.British cottons and woollens. The Morning Chronicle has lately been at tempting to alarm the country, by the great designs and projects entertained by the German Zoll Verein— all of which are said to be inimical to our commerce and manufactures. At one time that commercial league is stated to be about to enter into a commercial treaty with the United States, based on the preferential admission of German cottons into the Republic—in utter forgetfulness that any such engagement would be a gross violation of the commercial stipulation of the United States with this country, and still more forgetful that the United States would require, as a compensation, the free admission into Germany of her tobacco, now subject to an enormous import duty, and that such admission would at once de stroy one of the most profitable sources of German agri cultural wealth—the culture of the tobacco plant. Ger- FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY. CHRONICLE.—The Morning Post is, it appears, to be the organ of the Ministry expectant. Its functions commenced yesterday, by the announcement that Sir Robert Peel will not oppose the re-election of Mr. Shaw Lefevre to the Speakership. The Times is passed over, we presume, on account of its " tainted" character ; the great disqualification in the " new moral world " o! Toryism. A Whig Speaker is, then, the first item o! the mysterious Tamwerth prescription. The party takes it with a wry face. It is a bolus for the friends of Mr. Goulburn, and a bitter pill for those of Sir Eardley Wil mot. There are many for whom this foretaste of the future will be rather melancholy. They had not dreamed that to step into office could require such a sacrifice to decency on the threshold; The most convincing demon strations have just been offered to the public that the Speakership could not remain in the same hands with out a gross violation of political principle. But the reign of expediency is at hand, and this is only the first of many conscientious principles and valorous determi nations which the Tories will have to swallow. "'There's pippins and cheese to come." The Speakership is one of many apples of discord. Perhaps by allowing a Whir to have it, Sir Robert may think to avoid an unseemly squabble amongst his own partisans. It is not for us to object to his purpose. We have always thought Mr. Shaw Lefevre a well-qualified person ; and his conduct, while in the chair, has beetedistinguished for ability and impartiality. If there have been any occasion on which we did not regard him with entire satisfaction, it was that of his vote against the proposed address to her Ma jesty for the liberation of persons confined for political offences. We thought that he need not have stood in the way of mercy. The address would have been a gra cious and graceful procedure on the part of the House, and was by no means the sort of motion which we should have expected the casting vote of a Speaker to nega tive. At the same time we must admit, that there was some vindication in the circumstances of the case. The existence of Tory promises made to the Char tists, for electioneering purposes, -was notorious. The liberation of their martyrs was part of the bribe for which an unprincipled portion of that body had sold itself to the enemies, not only of their inoreieate preten sions, but of their just righte. Tite fact oozed out from the Chartist Convention just at the period when the Times was proclaiming that " Radicalism has its root in real evils and real grievances," and that, to be Conserva tive, it was not necessary to " sacrifice the common good to class interests." Much may be said for the Speaker's not allowing a vote of the House of Commons to be made the instrument of fulfilling this disgraceful com pact. We rest no argument on Sir Robert Peel's having praised the Speaker for his interposition. Sir Robert availed himself of whatever additional party votes might have been thus obtained ; and if the promise had only turned a single election (the least effect that can probably be assigned to it), that single election gave him all his majority on the no-confidence motion ; but we do not imagine he ever meant the pledge to be redeemed. Let his laudation go, therefore, with a quantum valeat. The casting vote remains an exception, but a question able exception, to our general estimate of Mr. Shaw Lefevre's Speakership ; which, else, we praise unre servedly. We repeat, therefore, the notification of Sir Robert Peel's first avowed intention with much pleasure. It is, nevertheless, a departure from his principle of not prescribing until he " take; the fee ;" a principle now irrevocably fixed upon him by the unfortunate and blus tering interposition of his own confidential organ. Sir Robert Peel has not yet been " allowed access to the patient," in the private rooms of the Downing-street Sanatorium ; he is not yet " regularly called in ;" he has not felt the pulse or purse of the nation ; and yet he begins to prescribe, and " administers the physic ' of a Whig Speaker. Have we convinced him that his silent system was that of a quack, and not of a regular politi cal practitioner ? Or cannot his consistency, under cir cumstances that begin to be trying, hold out for any ten days in succession ? Must every week illustrate the fluctuation of his sliding scale of political morality. TIMES.—We shall surprise none of our readers who have had their attention called to the letter of " Pittacus" in our paper of Monday, and perhaps all who have not, by the announcement which we have to make respecting the Speakership. Contrary to the wishes of Sir Robert Peel himself, as many of his friends assert, has a species of tribunical victory been achieved over the constitu tional forces of the new Parliament. By what strange infatuation this unfortunate subversion of right principle has been consummated, it is useless at this moment to inquire ; but so it is, and the result is a chilling damp on the very first rejoicings of a well-earned triumph. The Right Hon. Charles Shaw Lefevre is virtually re elected to the high office, of which the incapacity of his party had virtually deprived him.

At another moment the alarmist journal protests that there is nothing but ruin for England, because the Zoll Verein and Brazil are negotiating commer cial relations. Now this assertion is purely imagination; there are no negotiations in progress for any such ptir pose. But if they were concluded, they would not damage England. Germany already takes all the coffee and sugar that Brazil with her present population can grow ; and to guppose that Brazil would commit so sui cidal an act as to engage to consume German dear cot tons in preference to British .cheap cottons, when by so doing she could derive no advantage, is to suppose that common sense and national interest are wholly driven from the minds of Brazilian statesmen. But were the Brazilian Government to enter into so foolish a stirla . tton, the Brazilian people and consumers would quickly abrogate it in practice. The consumers of every nation will, in spite of all treaties and laws, buy of the cheapesi,; and if they •bannot do it legally, they will illegally ; The Morning Chronicle frequently quotes from the writings of the political eoonomists. We think it might, without much difficulty, find an authority in them for this proposition ; but, perhaps, as the Devil does from the Scriptures, it only quotes their " wise saws and modern instances," when it suits its own purposes. POST.—The advocates of what we consider excessive manufacturing and trading, complain of us that we oc casionally comment upon their hard-heartedness. But how can we do otherwise while they display such insensi bility to that which chiefly concerns the happiness of the mass of the people ? If they will cease to advocate a cruel and hard-hearted policy, we shall be most happy to hail the auspicious change, and to give them every credit for having learned better the duties which they owe to their fellow-creatures, and the feelings with which they ought to regard them. So long, however, as we find the party which calls itself " Liberal," doing its best to upset the agricultural industry of this coun try, and to hand that great source of employment and wages over to foreigners, while it is expected that by this policy a great increase of manufacturing business may be obtained, we cannot help accusing the party of selfish insensibly to the welfare of the people. We must speak the truth, and to us it seems that if there be any truth more palpable than another respecting the condition of the mass of the people of England, it is that the agricultural labourers are a far healthier, hap pier, and in every way more estimable race of people than they who are doomed to the labour which goes on in manufacturing towns. If, therefore, it were true, which we think it is not, that the wealth of this country would be more promoted by abandoning agriculture in a very considerable degree—by trusting to foreign coun tries for a great portion of our supply of corn, and by manufacturing more largely in order to pay for this foreign supply, still we should continue to hold the opinion that for the sake of the working people, the nation ought to resist this mode of becoming more wealthy. We quite agree with the sentiment expressed some days ago by Mr. Benett, M.P., for Wiltshire, at the Salisbury Agricultural Meeting, when he asked, " What is wealth without comfort and happiness ?" What does it signify to a virtuous statesman that a cer tain system of commercial policy would possibly add to the capital of the country, if by that very system a change in the employment of the mass of the people would take place, which change would be very prejudi cial to their comfort and happiness ? In putting the case thus, we are very far from admitting that the pro posed " Liberal" system of policy would ad to the capi tal of the country. We are well satisfied that it would have precisely the opposite effect. PRIVATE PUPIL.

SUNDAY HAY-MA KING.--A few Sundays ago, the Rochdale Churchwardens stopped a small farmer in cutting his grass ; but, last Sabbath day (August Ist), the vicar's late warden was suffered to make his hay, in the immediate vicinity of the sacred edifice, unmolested. —Plow could " a small farmer " expect to escape like a churchwarden ? " That in the captain's but a choleric word, Which, in the soldier, is fiat blasphemy.") —Manchester Guardian. EVENING SUN. fcr one million; F. Falkenberg, the banker, for 200,0 00 ; Vollgruber and Koechel for 100,000 ; Samuel do Meijo for 20,000 ; and Polack, brothers, for 100,000 florins. Some of these failures, it will be o b serve d, are f or t una tely not of great magnitude, but when summed up they give a total of upwards of 17 millions of florins. A farther advance in the price of bonded corn to-day of 3s. to ss. per quarter, added to the still unsettled state of the weather, had the effect of checking business in the funds, and kept prices a shade below the ranges of yes terday. This being the fourth of the month, too, occa sion was taken to whisper remarks prejudicial to credit in general, but which it would be difficult to trace to any proper foundation ' • for on the whole the payments on commercial bills falling due were quite as promptly met as could have been anticipated. There seems, in. deed, to be marked pressure for accommodation at pre sent, owing to the entire absence of employment for it in numerous channels where it formerly brought s _ good return. TIMES.—A correspondent calls attention to a sub ject which had not escaped our notice, but which even now is so much enveloped in mystery that it is difficult to arrive at a perfect comprehension of it. This is the an nouncement of the formation of a new bankin g institu tion to be called the " Stock Exchange Bank," the functions of which are described by the declaration that it is " for deposits and taking in stock and- shares." This is the whole description of the Bank and its future operations which has balletic) transpired, and certainly, as it is to be presumed that it is intended to be an insti tution of great public utility, it is to be. regretted that there are no further details of the objects which it is to accomplish, especially as this tar diness in giving information is not at all accom panied by a tardiness in commencing operations. It was oily on Friday last that it was publicly announced. that the share-list would close on the morrow, and that all applications for shares were to be mode forthwith to that commercial locality " Dalston," while, as far as we can ascertain, no preliminary prospectus had been pub lished, nor had any idea been given who were the par ties supporting the institution. The title of the bank, to be sure, would lead the casual observer to believe that the Stock Exchange, or at any rate some of the leading members, were in some measure connected with its formation ; but if it does emanate from a Stock Ex change, it is certainly not that one which the public ge nerally know as the " Stock-exchange," and to which the principal entrances are Capel-court, Hercules passage, and New-court. There are, indeed, men who think that the members of the " Stock exchange,"--commonly so called—have no right to arrogate that name to their own place of meeting only, but that it might properly be extended to the whole body of dealers in securities, whether they litiosact. business in alleys, rotundag, or subscription rooms. The Think in quOstion; however, is not as yet known to be connected with any " Stock Exchange" in the most liberal acception of the word, but that does not prove much, since knowledge of the transactions of any of the markets, excepting those of the recog nized Stock Exchange, is not easily obtained. The leading jobbers, far from being at all privy to the in stitution, profess not to understand from the title how its principles can be made applicable to Stock Exchange purposes. They cannot see the use of a bank " taking in stock and shares," when it is well known that no person having 1,000/. Consols, or any other valid security, finds any difficulty in borrowing upon it, nor ever has occasion to - look for a lender. The letters of appropriation, which are in a new and succint form, are already issued, and showed that the prime movers of the affair were not too sanguine in expecting to fill their share-list so speedily, and great care has been taken to distribute them widely, se as to prevent overbearing influence in any one interest. It is under stood that these securities are dealt in already, but it is not impossible that before they are extensively operated in, ,persons may feel anxious to know the specific uses to which the capital, when subscribed, is to be applied. SUN.—There was a limited market for the English Se curities, and the quotations wore rather a heavy appear ance. Money, nevertheless, was not complained of as being tight, and in the Stock Exchange especially loans are still to be had on easy terms, where Stock or Ex chequer Bills is the security pledged for them. Consols for unmediate transfer were to-day quoted 89f to-891 ; and for the account 894 to R. Exchequer Bills were 14 to 16 premium, and East India Bonds Gs. to Bs. premium. Bank Stock was heavy again at 169 to 1691. The New Three-and-a-Half per Cents. obtained 98i to f, and the Three per Cents. 90 to if. The Foreign Securities were not brisk, but in the Northern and more bona fide ones a steady business was done. Active Spanish Bonds were not higher than 19f to i-. In Portuguese Stock there were no bargains. Co lombian brought 191 to 201, and Mexican 254. Belgian Bonds got up from 1011 to 102 ; Danish were firm at 791 ; Austrian at 109 ; Russian at 1144 ; and Dutch Two-and-a• Half per Cents. at 52. The Five per Cents. fluctuated from 1018 to 102. Railway shares met a fair sale. Great Westero were at 19, the New at B+, the Fifths at 54, the London and Birmingham at 71 to 72, the Thirds at 211, the New at 21, the York and North Midland at 26, the New at lit to 12, and the South Western at 14* premium. Brighton were 7i to 61, Cheltenham and Great Western 404, Midland Counties North and Eastern 10t, North Midland -36, and South East6rn 20 discount, British North American Bank Shares were 5 discount, and Colonial Bank 7 premium. The City of Dublin Steam Packet Company hare claims upon public respect and gratitude by their muni ficient recognition of the public debt due to James Hartley, Esq., of the Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation Company, for his successful prosecution of those connected with the gold dust robbery. The ex tent of the plunder, the permanent good example shown by Mr. Hartley to all commercial Companies, in bring , ing to justice culprits engaged in such a nefarious rob bery, and doing this public good at his sole expense, en titled him eminently to such a mark of respect. We only wish him a long and prosperous life to enjoy it as he has deserved it. The testimonial has been prepared by Air. Law, o f Sackville-sheet, and the work does honour to the manu factures of Ireland. It consists of a silver salver, with a richly chased scroll edge, representing the seasons, and the following inscription :—" Presented to James Hart ley, Esq., by the City of Dublin Steam Packet Company pursuant to a resolution passed at a General meeting of the Proprietors, held on the 6th May, 1841, in testimony of the services so honourably and energetically rendered by him to the mercantile community at large, by bringing to condign punishment, at his own personal expense, the principal offenders concerned in the gold dust robbery." The arms are engraved in the centre of the scroll: In addition a beautiful centre-piece, t') correspond, has been presented, as a suitable accompaniment, by the British . and Irish Steam Navigation Company. AINSWORTH'S DICTIONARYAt the Ses sions, on Tuesday, John Thompson. Woode and Charles Tibbs, two respectable-looking men, were charged .with having feloniously broken into the shop of Mr. Edward Davies, ontician, Bold-street, an d sto l en 120 pa i r o f spectacles, 120 gold and silver eye-glasses, ten tele scopes, and two compasses, the property of the said Ed ward Davies. Mr. HendersiYn conducted the prosecu tion ; Mr. Murphy and Mr. Venables were for the de fence. The robbery, it appeared, took place between the closing of the shop on Saturday evening, the 29th of May, and its opening on the morning of the following Monday. Goods to the extent of 3001. were stolen. On the last-mentioned day, two men met Mr. David Davies„ who is also a jeweller, but no connection of the prose cutor, and asked him to purchase some gold and silver spectacles, eye-glasses, &c., offering to introduce him to a person who had a quantity of such articles to dis pose of. Mr. Davies knew one of the men. slightly, but having some misgivings, • declined to make the purchase. In the evening of the same day, he heard of the robbery in Bold-street, and informed Mr. E. Davies of what had occurred. The police also were put in possession of the circumstances, and Mr. D. Davies having on Tuesday morning t po & - .ee. met the two men, acted under the direction of te. he , and offered to purchase the goods. I-Titnn_a? .is n f .

They, however,i, • th t e he two negotiators, first completion of the barguann. prisoners were &Join to spoken of, decamped, follow, when constable James Ainsworth and his son went up and apprehended them. None of the property was recovered, so that there was no identification of it Another paper, containing a list of the goods, was found on one of the prisoners. The two papers were produced. They were in different dialect;, or descriptions of slang languag,e, and were interpreted by Ainsworth. In one of' them the gold eve- g lasses were called " norah owlets," in the other " ridge quiz." " Midge was stated to mean gold, and " norah" also signified gold. " Wedge, , -lin on e paper, and " plato" in the other, were stated to sig nify silver. The telescopes were called " spicy ininge.!* Mr. Murphy—" This is a new edition of Ainswartles Dictionary.'—(Laughter.) Mr. Venables--" Pray, .I r. Ainsworth, in what college have you studied this Sha g ?" Ainsworth—" I picked it up amongst thieves." Mr. Venables—" You have fallen amongst thieves pretty often. I have heard that you are first cousin to Mr. Ainsworth, the author of Jack Sheppard."' Ains worth—" I don't know it, but perhaps I am, Sir."— (Laughter.) Mr. Venables—" Well, to test your know ledge of this slang, can you tell us the meaning of Nix my Dolly Pals, fake away?'' Ainsworth If you, Sir, were to bolt out of Court, that would be it." Mr. Venables—" You have not any of the property in your possession, have you ?" Ainsworth—" No, Sir ; I wish I had."—(Laughter.) Mr. Venables—" Don't you wish you may get it?"—(Laughter.) Mr. Venables and Mr. Ifurphy submitted that there was no evidence against the prisoners. The Recorder thought it would be dan gerous to convict on such evidence, and the Jury ex pressed their concurrence in the opinion. The prisoners were acquitted.—Liverpool Times. . A TRUE TEETOTALLER.--A man of the name of Alexander Bremner, a tailor, resident in Scarlet, near this place, has, we understand, not tasted solid food of any . kind for. the last thirty days. During this long period the man, it is said, has only made use of two small jugs of milk, but drinks one of water every day. The person from whom we have our informa tion is in every way worthy of credit, and we have,, therefore, no hesitation in giving publicity to the: above facts. Tho poor man has become, and no wonder,,a ghastly-looping subject, and as lean as hi s own goose. What his object may be in his total abstinence from all that sustains we know not ; but suppose he must be in training for the part of the apothecary in _Romeo and .Juliet. Bremner converses a good deal on religious sub jects, on which, however, there is evidently lin appear-. ance of his being crazed. He is not confined to bed, is cheerful, reads a great deal, and has not worked at his trade for the last three months.
