At the last quinquennial meeting there vrasaddecl a bonus to the Life Poticies equal to twenty-five per Cent. ,on the sums paid: and a bonus of five per cent. "Was added to the Shares in addition to the payment of the annual interest. The quinquennial meeting being only just past, a favourable opportunity now offers for the commencement of new. Insu rances; parties now joining will be allowed to participate in the profits at the next division, as if they had been insured for the whole period.

Every accommodation will be afforded to Insurers in ca-es of unavoi'lable delay in the payment of Premiums. A Committee of Directors, attended by a medical officer, sit at the Company's House at London Bridge every Tuesday, from Twelve to Two o'Clock, and at the ‘Vestern Branch every Friday, from Twelve to One, o'Clock, to grant Assurances ; but one Director is daily in attendance at each Office, to render every facility to those to whom despatch may be an object.

The fastening is composed of corded silk and India rubber, by which it is impossible for the hairs ever to come loose in the mouth ; they are the only kind that can be warranted from corroding ; persons frequently get bad teeth and gums from these causes, the corrosion being poison to the breath, and cancer to the glues. Families in:town and country supplied carriage free, with every kind of sponges, brushes, brooms, turnery, mats, horse clothing, blankets, lea thers, and every requisite for the use of houses and sables, of the very best quality at wholesale prices, 40 per cent. under any other house in England.

" My wife and myself, who are now residing in Lon don, have read yo ur very i nteresting wor k on our na tive country, Am er i ca , w i t h pecular sat i sfact i on ; inas much as the nature of my pursuits has led us to visit nearly all the pl aces an d i nst i tut i ons you h ave sovividly i and so justly d escr ib e d i n , our pages, as we ll as n your c!oqu , int lect ures , w hi c h we have attende d . In listen ing to the one, and in reading the other, we have been carried alcng by a feeling scarcely less vivid and 1-.3s real than if we were fellow -travellers with you, and ac tually passing over the scenes you have so graphically described. I think you have brought to the parent country a very encouraging and just account of hor Transatlantic child, and this at a time when general and correct information is peculiarly desirable, to re move mutual prejudices, and to promote a fair and friendly understanding between the two countries." THE STANDARD NOVELS.—The new nuns ber, now just published, of this unrivalled series of modern fictions is " Gilbert Gurney," the best and most popular novel of the late Theodore Hook, the prince of wits and bumoarists. " Gilbert Gurney" owes its pre eminence among the brilliant works of this admirable writer to the fact that in its scenes are embodied many of the strange passages in the life of the author,—pas sages which are more exciting, more irresistible in their laugh-producing properties, and more interesting, be ca use true, than any which the wittiest imagination could conceive. The experience of such a man as Hook, where society was coveted in the festive hours of the eccentric and the great, must be richer in various exhibition of character, and in the ele ments of fun, than can be expected from any other man. " Gilbert Gurney " accordingly will become universally popular in the new and cheap form it is .destined permanently to take as an English classic in "The Standard Novels." It will be prominent in a collection wherein it is an honour for a novelist to ap pear ; and it will occupy a distinguished post among the masterpieces of Cooper, Bulwer, Marryatt, James, Hope, Miss Edgeworth, Godwin, Hood, . Mrs. Trollope, Morier, Miss Austen, and other of the great geniuses of the age. This series may, indeed, be confidently ap pealed to as proof of the triumphant faculty now exist ing in England for this branch of inventive literature ; a talent which, in variety, depth of passion, and prodi gality of incident, surpasses even the Augustan age of Fielding and Smollett. For where amongst our ancestors shall we seek for the breathless interest existing in such stories as the American tales of Cooper, or the splendid Eastern fictions of Morier, or the passionate and highly-wrought romances oflittlwer, or the truth and keen discernment and pathos of Miss Edgeworth, or the inexhaustible spirit, wit, and fun of Hook, or the pictu• resque grandeur of James, or the life-like representation of society by Miss Austen, or the robust drollery and strong dramatic effect of Marryatt, or the searching satiro of Mrs. Trollope? Life, in short, in all its phases, whe ther of good or evil, of tragedy or comedy, is exhibited in never-dying colours by those distinguished writers, whose works constitute the powerful attraction of " The Standard Novels," at once the best and cheapest collec tion of fiction ever given to the world. THE PARISH CLERK", EDITED BY THEO DORE HOOK, ESQ.—Few persons have such store of amusement at their command as that important func tionary known as the Parish Clerk. He is sure to know everybody's history; and the insight into the affairs of the whole neighbourhood the Devil on Two Sticks al lowed his associate by the extraordinary means he had recourse to, the Clerk of the Parish possesses by merely referring to his own recollections. Wisely, therefore, has the clever author of " Peter Priggins, the College Scout " (a work so full of the most graphic sketches of character as to have created the impression that the editor, Theodore Hook, had left traces there of "his fine Roman hand" too prominent to be mistaken), sought the assistance of one of these parochial magnates, and as the scene of his avocations is a fishing, or rather smug gling village on the coast of Sussex. the reader may an ticipate in the forthcoming work (published under the same auspices), entitled "The Parish Clerk," the most striking narratives that ever proceeded from Mr. Hook's able pen—in which daring adventure, romantic interest, and characters equally amusing and original, are said to be the chief features. NEWLY -INVENTED SPECTACLES.—The arti ficial aid aftbrded to the Sight by Lenses, is one of the most valu able gifts derived from science, and it is indeed of vital importance that the adoption of Spectacles to imperfect vision, should be regu_ fated on proper principles.

THE C EPHALOSCOPE.—Mr. John Harrison Curtis has recently invented a modification of Laennec's stethoscope, t which he has given the above name, and which is peculiarly applicable i n th e i nves ti ga ti on an d diagnosis of certain disease s of the organ of hearing, which are at present involved in some obscurity. The instrument consists of a cylinder of wood, about eight inches long, with an ear-piece in ivory at the upper end, and a large concave oval piece at the other extremity, so constructed as to cover and completely enclose the external ear of the patient. The concavity of this last piece collects the sounds, whether normal or abnor mal, which are heard within the organ, and transmits them through a tube to the ear of the examiner, who, by continual practice, will be enabled to discriminate the various sounds, just as the stethoscopist distinguishes those heard in the chest. This instrument, it is consi dered, will be of service in cases of tinnitus curium, and affections of the Eustachian tube and tympanic cavity.— Vtcrary Gazatc. pi.hle'm., THE WOLF AND THE LAME.--The Jortrnal de Flandres relates the following tale :—The, postman of a commune in our neighbourhood was lately trudging along in the execution of his duty, accompanied by his daughter, a rosy-checked, flaxen-haired young peasant. Wishing to relieve her parent from the load of corres pondence with which he was intrusted, she strapped the post-bag, or portfolio, on her own shoulders. While the utttiCui girt was thus ungaged, a gentleman in a tilbury drove up to them, aud, getting his horse into a walk, began a conversation with them. " Really, my good fellow, your employment must be a harassing one. You come to town every day on foot, to deliver letters ; to do this duty for so many must be very fatiguing. I am uneasy when I think of it. How unlucky that I cannot offer you each a seat in my carriage ; otherwise, I should be most happy to do so ."_“ sir, you are extremely the kind, first but I think nothiug of it, I am Si) accustomed:sssql.orueri.itco: c h hi o l t d est friend, bear this daily fatigue ; but my Cather i i ad n a e y unusedtiine in to fac a t nyt s l h ti e n anything attemptedtlie sort. the e ; there is (gentleman, :t: Tvelini,y well, then," cllil ', 1 is sa reallyid the e to tlfair-spokenro r " o c o ' n ' T e fo a r n o d ne ta c 'e ert a ain sc l; t : will perhaps continue to walk."

A man named Main, denounced as one of the most active leaders in the late disturbances in Paris, was arrested yesterday morning in the Rue du Grand Hurluer, and on beino , searched was found to be armed with a brace of loaded pistols. On being taken to the barracks in the Rue des Francs Bout , genic, he admitted his name, declared that he was a na tive of Paris, belonged to the 3d regiment of the line, and the detachment of it encamped at Ivry, into which he en tered as a substitute, but from which he deserted on the 15th ult., from disgust at the service. He declared that he carried the loaded pistols fur no other purpose than to defend himself against any attempt to arrest him, and protested that he took no part in the riots.

(J Tom the Aberdeen Herald.) On Tnesd of last, at two o'clock, a• public meeting, eatied by the I. ) rovost, in compli a nce with a requisitio n Iron. four hundred and forty-eight citizens, was- held in th e Court-house:. The meeting was convened . for the purpot c of takin. ;into. consideration the, present state of the cotntry, and to memorialise the Queen not to pro rogue Pt srliament until its attention has been directed to " a revision of the u'uties on foreign productions, and it has fully considered ite laws which regulate the trade in corn." The Court - Amuse sras crowded to excess; there being at least eibbt ,hundred persons present, the Provost in the Chair. Mr. l'uoatas Bassemuatan moved the first :resolu tion. had he consulted his own feelings, he would not have made . his appearance . in pub lic 'this day ; but in the preseat eircumstruices of the country, he felt that;. in coming forward on that o!casion, he was performing a duty to his family, to his friends, to the public, and eassetaally to the nu merous body of workmen connected *Ws his eetablish ment.—<Cheers.) The resolution asstmed that gener.d distress prevailed, and if Aberdeen weals an exception to the general rule, it might be used as agood argument against the'repeal of the Corn-laws. It ;was not, an ex 's, otion. .Already - the effects of restrictive' legislatio n sake felt, and if relief were- not speedily afforded,-they ~s sasi n be felt far more severely. 1)el a v would. certainly ru i n a t ,, , ,jeat many of his competitors, and though that Jiii ;lii i n i s sg- about a time of temporary prasp zity, that would nor, feed the hungry and clothe the naked, or bring. back ' prosperity of former days.—(Cheers.) Nu ;. it would .ultimately bring ruin on many, aad might en d ins civil commotion. He did .not mean to discuss there the i ,solicy or idapelicy of the Cairn-laws---,that. Was ii subject nOW' pretty well unde rs t oo d. I t was now thre e years, or nearl y ' SO, since petitions were sent to Parlia ment feom every Dart of the kin g d om , p ra yi ng f or an in quiry into the evil effect of the Cora-law.;.' Theie peti -tions were rejected; a. 11.1 Sir Robert Peel was able to - 'ssitisty•=alie landlords tha,: - the• el iii a. thriving T condition. At that thite (..,Nlr.Bannerman) had some correspondence with the Did..eof Richmond on the sub sect. The Duke aoknowledgea his first letter, but the reply to the Duke's objec!ion be. isa pretty sharp, lie did not choose to acknowledge it.-'A laugh.) The time was when a man, by sober industry, could gain a comps tanee and have something to put into the savings' bank, but that time had now gone lay, and if the landlords were to have the direction of 'the affairs of this country, it would never again return.—(Hear.) It would be' time enough to talk of over-production when every market in the world was over-stocked by oar manuactures. And when would that be? Look at America alone. If our Corn lawa *ere repealed, and our import, tariff otberwise madi fied, we would find a market there to an extent which those who talked oFover production had little conception of.— , (Cheers.) Nothing would bring about peace and comfort, • and abtintllnce, but the privilege of buying our rood in the cheapest market, and exchanging the products of each country. on a ;zee and liberal basis.—(Cheers.) And this must come scial. otherwise our manufactures would be ruined. In the otton trade alone, there were fully h a lf a m ini o n o f wor i crot... 9 who had • not a halfpenny to purchase food with. In these' circumstances it was time for .The question VMS' not Parliament t o d o somet hi ng. one that could b e delayed. lle would t down by pro posing the r eso l u ti on, an d express i ng an ea. _ -n that the dark and l ower i ng prospects that were ,now before them might yet be dispelled by a timely con cession to the just demands of their country for repeal. BAILLIE FO3BES, in seconding the resolution, said it could not be denied that great and general distress per vaded the whole of the manufacturing ansl mercantile interests, and that an effectual remedy Must be speedily applied, otherwise both . manufacturer and artisan would soon be involved in one common ruin. It was true that _this _city. was not in. so deplorable a condition .as other.. manufacturing _towns, but we need not ..ilatter ..ourselves . that ..this. state can long continue s .. for . it...was evident. that .the causes which were operating to create such deep .distress else where were - also at work. here, and .would very soon plunge us into .the same condition, unless means were devised for giving a new impulse to trade. It has been urged by Sir Robert Peel and his friends that sufficient time has not yet been afforded him for maturing his plan ; but, in making such a statement, I hesitate not to say that he aeither acts in good faith towards himself nor the country. Can it be denied that he has virtually di rected the government of the country for the last four .years ? And did he not, in rejecting the financial mea sures brought forward by the late Ministry, most unequi vocally declare his readiness to undertake the govern ment of the country, and to bring forward a system •of finance which, he confidently stated, would extricate it from its difficulties ? lies he not more recently, in ad dressing his Tamworth constituents, expressed the same intentions ? To use his own words, he was ready to prescribe for the political patient as soon as an oppor tunity was afforded him of feeling its pulse. That lie has now done—ay, and its purse too; and is it not insult ing to the country, and trifling with its best interests, after having voluntarily accepted the responsible duty of directing the affairs of this great nation, and that, too, with a full knowledge of all the responsibilities and the perilous situation in which the country is presently placed, now to comb forward and demand time for maturing a plan for its relief ?—(Cheers.) Ido not believe that Sir Robert Peel is so unprepared ; on the contrary, I am of opinion that he is thoroughly versant on the subject, and that his only difficulty arises from the unworkable na ture of some Members Of the Cabinet; whom he is una ble to bring over to his own views. The great source . of much of our present distress arises from that system of class legislation which has been in operation under suc ceeding administrations for the last fifty years—(Great cheering)—a system based upon the principle of transfer ring the great burden of taxation from the shoulders of the hie-her orders, who are best able to contribute to-• wards the wants of the country, and to fix it on the in dustrial classes—a system widen has now been pushed to that extremity as almost to swallow up the entire income of that part of the community, and to concentrate the great portion of the wealth of the country into the hands of a fees , great aristocratic families.—(Cheers.) So long as the means of the industrial classes was 'able to meet this drain, and leave a bare sufficiency for the support of their families, the evil was submitted to, with occasional expressions of discontent. But now, when it has arrived at subba climax as to divest the working-man of so much of his earnings, as to leave an insufficiency for the sup port of himself and family, the burden has become into lerable. Need we then wonder, under such circum stances, that they now rise in a mass, and demand relief? I hesitate not to state that the proper and natural remedy for the dangerous state in which the country now stands is an extension of the franchise, and security, by the ballot, to the poor but independent voter in the exercise of his political rights.—(Long -continued cheering.) Until this be procured all other means must prove abor tive, and the sooner it is obtained so much will the' safety of the country be secured. On these grounds I beg cor dially to second the resolution.—(Cheers.) Motion Carrie - I unanimously. Jon* BOirati'sost, Esq. of Lincoln's Inn, Lond on , a native of Aberdeen, and late Editor of the Westmin- Rter Peviete', came forward to move the second reso lution. • • A. Wiquaat, Esq., seconded the motion. I have been attending to the state of the poor in this city and else where, and I am satisfied that, though Aberdeen is not suffering to the extent of some places, • yet I am satisfied that great sufferings prevail among ourselves. Many in dividuals and families in Aberdeen do not get half, the food necessary for keeping themselves in health, and surely we all know that if the poor could get more food fir their few pence than they are getting now, they would be better Off ; and we all know that if the food laws were abolished, we should get cheaper food.—( Hear.) I meddle not with politics in a general way ; but I look upon this as involving a moral and religious ques tion, and, as a professing Christian, I consider myself bound to do all I can to remove the burdens' which op press the poor—burdens which have been kept there by a privileged class for their. own benefit. There are differ ences of opinion as to the mode of removing these burdens. I think we should go straightforward with this one ques tion, because the repeal of these food-laws will afford relief to thousands of the people of this country, and thus better their condition.—(Cheers.) " Whatsoever ye would that others would do unto you; do ye even so to them."—(Cheers.) "This is the law and the pro phets ;" and if acted on the law would not stand for a day.—(Cheers.) What we want in the meantinui is to memorialise our beloved Queen that she would not pro rogue Parliament, that members of it may go and hunt game on the mountain,.until they have endeavoured to ascertain if they can do something to alleviate the suf ferings of the people—(Cheers)—and therefore I cor dially second the motion. MR. BUCKINGHAM AND THE QUARTERLY REVIEW. In the last number of tlie Quarterly Review is an article entitled " Buckingham and Coombe on Ame rica," in which the writer evinces a strong dews to pro duce unfavourable impressions, not so much against the books as ugeinst their writers. In a letter ad dressed to the public prints on this subject, by Mr. Buckingham, is the following statement of a fact, which ought to he as widely known as the articles in the Review it-elf, that the bane and anoidote may both be equally pub!ie ; and as the Reviewers do not admit mil cs to their statemente either of fact or opinion, it is only throegh the nne.tium of the public journals that both sides can be seen. Mr. Buckingham says— " There is one assertion, however, made by the Re er,ha e ve s : o r erwr sayeh ct : fo s r oA th mt e ut he s he a k ef e ol or e s Bel of fe r u kh t iin h sg , ihn i a t tmr i :3 3 .d u t! c e t s o i r r a y 8 1 r tee. tu 'lV t e r do not remember to hav e a ll u d e d to him on any aeon :ion i n thi s journal.' " It. haepens to h ave escape d the reeell c cion of the' or frri writer that in the year 1822 there was on article in this Ferric Quarterly Review, ending with the same words— , So much for Buckingham' -.-..professing to be a review of my Travels in P,tleet.ne,' but containing so much of falsehood aed .calumny, that I felt it my duty to institute an action for libel against the publisher, M:. John Murray, in the Court of King's Bench ; and though he had the ablest assistance that the bar could render him, in the talents of the present Lord Lynd hurst, Baron Parke, and Baron Garvey, engaged as his Counsel in the cause, ha found it then desirable to ask for mercy at my hands ; and, abandoning all defence of his libellous publication, lie instruetel his Coucael to withdraw their plat of justification, make a humble apology in open Ceurt for the in;levy ef:Juttly dope to an hotiourable man, and consent to a verdict, with costs, being recorded against him. Taie• was Mr, Murrey'e course on that occasion. " The writer of the libellous article was subsequently ascertained to be the Mr. William John B inkee, of Corte Cestle—who recently appeared hem the Police Magistrates in London, a second lime, charged with a namelees.effence, having before narrowly escaped cone, viction for the game. impurity ee -and on the trial of this individual, at the same period with Mr. Murray, for false and libellous imputations, s:tnilar to these Moore parated is his article in the Q , tarterly Review—the Counsel on my behalf being the preseet Lords Ahinger, Denman, an.l,Broughain. and those on Mr. ,Bankes' behalf being the, present Judges Lyndhurst, Parke, and Gurney —the Special Jury, after a trill of ten hours, and the eiamir.a•ion of a host of witne:s.es, under the direction of the late Lord Tenterden, bmught in a ver dict egainet Mr. William John Bankes, the writer of tl.e article in the Quarterly Review, as guilty of a false, scandalous, and malicious libel, and adjudged him to pa', 4001. damages ; while the -oats of Hr. Murray and Mr:a:tikes colijoin.2d, were understood to amount to several thousand pounds ! Evil communications corrupt good manners,' and as Mr. Bankes' loss of memory is so extraordinary that he forgot his own rank and name e and represented him. self to the Polic3 Magistrates to be oar John Harris, a se-vant out of place'--(committing his indecencies, as he wrote his libels, under a false name)—so Mr. Murrey's memory, or that of his ...,Piiter, seems to have utterly failed him also, when he erofesses not to remember having ever alluded to ma before in his jour nal. The :Vora-tai-recurdo family is not of the purest breed or cle west vision, and therefore often get entangled in their own meshes. " Whether the actual recollection of this trial and conviction of the Quarterly Review and its calumnious contributor may have in any degree contributed to the malignant spirit of the present article on my Work • on America, the public may judge for themselves. But it is right that both its editor and publisher, as well as the Public, should be reminded of these facts ; and, con tenting myself with having done this, I leave these worthies to digest them as they may." "It may be as satisfactory to others, as it undoubt edly is to myself, to be able to contrast, with the spiteful and contemptuous spirit of the writer in the Quarterly Review, the • unsolicited, but frank and generous testimony of an English Nobleman, than whom no man has had a better opportunity of forming an accurate judgment ; and the equally impartial testi mony of one of the most distinguished American tra vellers of the presect day—whose knowledge of his own country is, perhaps, more extensive than that of any man on either side of the Atlantic." LETTER FROM LORD ASHBURTON TO MIS. BUCKINGHAM. “•1 have read a considerable portion-or your Work on America—my long residence in that country - leading me tq take a deep interest in everything that concerns the gre,it Republic—and I have found in it. mere general and varied information than in any of the numerous works on the same subject which have issued from the pres. lam hound also to say, that, though Ido not agree with you in all your views and opinions, they seem to bear the stamp of general impartiality and candour." Tile motion was then put by the Chairman, and carried without amendment. The DEAN of GUILD rose to, propose the third reso lution, and was received with general applause. He did hope that her Majesty would not prorogue Parliament till they had directed their attention to the subject spe cially recommended to their notice in her Majesty's Speech. That distress existed in the country was ad mitted on all hands. Different people would assign dif ferent causes, and doubtless there were many causes operating to produce and perpetuate it ; but he believed that the Corn-laws were at the root of the evil— (Loud cheers)—and if Parliament did not take the subject into consideration before the prorogation, they should take advantage of the advice of the indivi dual who spoke from the gallery, and petition for their dismissal- altogether.—(Cheers.) Stanley and Peel might attribute the distress to over-production, and an undue supply of paper money ; but until they attributed it to the right cause they would never think of the right remedy.—(Cheers.) His own decided opinion was, that there was nothing to hope for from Sir Robert Peel while lie held to the sliding scale, which WWI neither snore nor less than a misellievous device for impoverish-. in.. the country and sliding money into V.:e pockets of the landlords.—(Cheers.) If the present Parliament did not do something, he was afraid the winter would not pass over without some fearful outbreak.— [The Dean then read the resolution.] If:they sepa rated without directing their attention to the Corn laws, he felt quite satisfied that there Would be no other remedy found but an extension of the suffrage. —(Hear, and general cheering.)

And he had m doubt but the present Tory majority would have the of • feet of making the people rise as one man, and demand an extension of the suffrage.—(Great cheering.) It would tend to reconcile the middle and working classes, • and he thought it would be well if the working clastues .would join the middle classes in the present struggle,-- (Hissing and cheering from the gallery)—on the expr tss understanding that the middle classes would thereaf:cr join the working classes in their demand for an extensi on of the suffrage.—(General cheering.) The Dean th en iproposed the third resolution. Finally a memorial was adopted, to be entrusted to the care of the City Member, to be presented in tho way he thought best to her Majesty. A'vot.e of thanks was then carried, by acclamation, to. the Provost for his conduct in the chair, and the meeting broke up. • PUBLIC TEA. MEETING AT BIR. • MINGIIAM: (FllOlll A eORTIESP3NIDENT.)

This winter snuggery opened last night, for the sea-. son, with a new romantic burletta of witchcraft, which,.. as to scenery and scenic effects is the most magniffeent-a and unique ever produced. It is founded on a Gertsaatki legend, and is entitled Die Herm am Rheim, (win& being interpreted, means the Wizard of the Rhine) or. Rudolph of Hapsburgh." The piece commences with a..q prologue, or rather a preliminary act, which takes place.,' i fifteen years before the other two acts. Ottocar, a kins man of Rudolph of Hapsburgh, but who is a traitor to. him, comes with his emissaries, in order to discover tkati . Prince, who is wanderiam in exile, accompanied by his: brother Otho, and the two devoted followers named,, Salvador, whose bravery and fidelity make them as much. , objects of terror to the usurping Governor as the. Duke himself. Ottocar learns, however, from Zabaren,. • the Sorcerer, that his own fortunes will dep6id upon. , the Duke, his ejected kinsman, who, the same i:utho rity assures him, is to be the greatest monarch of Europe._ On hearing this Ottocar instantly changes his plans, and. flies to the spot where he had directed his emissaries to-, asiassinate Rudolph, in order to save his life. finds.:; the attack has been made, and - the Duke's brother and.] one of the Salvadors have been killed. The latter, in dying, has induced the Duke toswear thathe will proteot: his wife, a lady of princely birth to whom he is secret' married, and his child. Ottocar finds the Duke, makes It s peace with him, and declares himself ready to espouse his cause, and destroy the Usurper, who reigns at Saltzburgli. In this prologue, Wieland, as the Devil's Ape, occa sioned great laughter by his excessively grotesque atti tudinizing. Zabaren, the Wizard, found nn excellent representative in Paul Bedford, and _Miss E. Teirey, an exceedingly pretty and clever little ;actress, who has been reaping golden opinions all the Summer at the Strand, made her first appearance before an Adelphi audience as a Speaking Spirit. We congrat2hte Mr. Yates on having secured the services of this fascia sting and talented young lady. A lapse of ,fifteen year.; Is suppo4ed to take place between the prologue and tile opening of the piece, when we find Rudolph (Mr. Lfsty nard) reigning as Duke of Bavaria, and Ottocar (Lyon) high in his favour, and his heir, for, notwithstant.,- lug, the Duke had married Ida of Idenheim (Mrs. Yates) his nuptials had not been blessed with off:spring. Ottocar, however, is still cons t an tl y plotting the Duke's destruction, and has , in his service Gaber and Wolfstein, two funny ruffians (at least in tended by the author to be funny), excellently enacted by Wilkinson and Wright, who by the mere force of act ing succeeded in eliciting a laugh while giving utterance to divers leaden levities, ponderous enough to sink a seventy-four. The services of these gentlemen are how ever rejected, and dumb prisoner, Eric (0. Smith), is employed, as being phy s i ca lly i nca p ac it a t e d f rom betray .nt his employer. This Eric proves to be no other than Herman Salvador in disguise, and thus a means is furnished of eventually discovering the traitor. In the mean time a certain individual, named Wilhelm, excellently acted by Miss Ellen Chaplin, from the Liver pool Theatre, is discovered in the Palace at night, near the Duchess's apartment, and on searching him a por trait of the Duchess is found, and also a letter from the Duchess, appointing an assignation. He is arrested by Ottocar, and sent from the Palace to the citadel in a boat, and here an entirely novel scenic effect is intro duced—the stage, representing the river by moon light, is converted into an area of real water. Wilhelm jumps into the river, and swimming to a fisher's cot is saved. This scenic effect, to which Mr. Yates has given the name of "Udata-mene-leeplitheian," is certainly one of the most beautiful ever exhibited. The last act commences with the Devil's holiday, a gathering of witches in the Black Forest. In this scene Mrs. IL P. Grattan, most appropriately designated in the bills as a bewitching witch, sings a romance, " Haunt ye the mountain, and forest, and fen," with ex quisite taste, and great power. The melody is a beautiful composition by Rodwell. After this scene the story proceeds. Ida explains that, previous to her marriage with Rudolph, she had been married to Julio Salvador, and that Wilhelm is her son. Eric dis covers the treason of Ottocar, and the whole ends with the inauktration of Wilhelm as rightful heir. In this scene is introduced a hydro-scenic effect of "coral caves and chrystal streams," as the bills term it, that is to say the stage represents an immense area of real water sur rounded by nymphs. The groupings were manage d with exquisite taste, and the . effect was most gorgeous. It is needless to say that the piece was completely successful, and that it was announced by Yates for re petition every evening. the Beggar's Op era B ur l esqued followed, and the evening s amusement concluded with the laughable farce of Deeds of Dreadful Note. The house was, as usual, crammed. INSECT REPIIISALS.—A gentleman in Nithse dale, who keeps several skeps of bees, endeavoured lately to obtain a supply of honey without killing by smoking, or in any other way, the industrious insects. With this view he pro cured a sort of half cone, and after cutting a small aperture at the top of the lower sken, placed the one above the other, with a few crossings fixed inside to facilitate working, attaching the combs, and keeping them warm when made. Communication being thus opened betwsen the lower And upper hives, he, to prevent accidents during windy weather, bound the two to gether with a belt of clay. This operation finished, the bees were left to their own resources until after the lapse of a cer tain period, supposed to be sufficient for the depositation of the necessary sweets. The clay was then loosened, and the upper akep removed, and turned topsy turvy by the side of the larger. On examination it contained a good deal of honey and a great crowd of bees; but as they seemed in no hurry to quit their cells, he deemed it prudent to give them a little time, without resort ing, in the first instance, to any more violent measures of ejectment.' Accordingly he locked his garden door, and went out to take his forenoon ride. While on horseback, he might be absent two or three hours, and, on revisiting the gardens, great w as his surprise on discovering that the bees, on return ing to th e i r first quarters, had taken good care to _ a carry th e honey a l ong w i t h t h em, except a b out t h e ma tt er of teacup ful, which would have been secreted also, had longer time been gi ven .

This Work, a Seventh Edition of which is now presented to the public, ten thousand copies have bent exhausted since its first appearance, has been very much improved and enlarged by the addition of a more extended and clear detail of general principles, as also by the insertion of several new and highly in teresting cases. The book, as has been already stated, is the result of very ample and daily increasing experience in a class of diseases, which, for some unaccountable reason, have been either altogether overlooked, or treated almost with indiffer ence, by the ordinary medical practitioner. The proverbial and well known rapacity of unquaMed practitioners, who traffic en 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 fur a considerable time devoted themselves ex clusively to a certain class of diseases; cf the necessity of so doing, they were further convinced by feeling that tact in in vestigating the latent sources of many disease 3, which arise from certain secret practices, can only be acquired by an ex clusive and undivided attention to this department of medical practice. The numberless instances daily occurring, wherein affections of the lungs, putting on all the outer appearances of consumption, which, however, when traced to their source, are found to result from certain baneful practices, fully proves that the principle of the division of labour, is nowhere more applicable than in medical practice. We feel no hesitation in saying that there is ne member of society by v,hom the book will net be found Ineful, whether such person hold the relation of a Parent. a Preceptor, or a Clergyman.

Thllf,..aa—The price charged on the London and; Briton railassy to persons travelling by the seconl-class: carriages has created some dissatisfaction, parti among theinhabitants of Brighton, as it is thought the passengers by the first-class carriages have been unduly faeoured'at the expense of the rest. For the first-class carriages the price is 14s. 6d., and for the second 9s. 6d., while on the coach road the inside fare is 20s. aad the outside Ss. and 10s.; that is to say, the travellers by the firt pay about 25 or 26 per cent. less than on the coach road, while those in the second, who are about the same description of persons as Would have travelled on the outside of the coach, are not relieved at all, and vat the latter stand more in need of indulgence, as they 'travel for business, while. the others are chiefly travellers for pleasure. The benefit that would. arise from' facilitating the journey to London are thus. inadeqnately enjoyed by the tradesman, as he feels him self charged with a heavy sum in every purchase he makes, while the privileges accorded to his more affluent fellow passengers show that it is not a matter of necessity that his profits are• thus taxed. Complaints are also made that the second class, pasSengers are not allowed to carry a fair amount of luggage, while every accommoda tion is accOrded to the first. Altogether th e sca l e o f charges is thought to be constructed on a principle of deference to the mere travellers for pleasure which is unworthy of a public undertaking, especially when the tendency of railroads is towards a monopoly, and the in habitants of the-town may ultimately be left almost at the mercy of the company.

Prices were steady.. Espartero's position, encompassed as h e i s by numerous hostile fa c ti ons , and dependent upon his own energy chiefly for their subjugation, is looked upon with some anxiety by many of his friends and well wishers, and especially by the English Bondholders, who regard his. stay in 'office as the best guarantee for the tranquillity of 'Spain, and the consequent .improvenient of their prospects. Spanish Active - 130mis were supported at the improvement to 23 and 23k. Portuguese New Five per Cent. stock was quoted to-day 31 to a ; and the Three per Cents. 19.
