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 h as b een a l rea d y stated,' is the result of very ample and daily increasing experience in a class of diseases, which, for some unaccountable reason, have been either altogether overlooked, or treated almost with indiffer ence, by the ordinary medical practitioner. The proverbial and well known rapacity of unqualified practitioners, who traffic on the health and credulity of patients, 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; cf 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 practices, can only be acquired by an ex clusive and undivided attention to this department of medical practice. The numberless instances daily occurring, whersin affections of the lungs, putting on all the outer appearances of consumptior, which, however, when traced to their source, are found to result from certain baneful practices, fully proves that the principle of the division of labour, is nowhere more applicable than in medical practice. We feel no hesitation in saying that there is no member of society by whom the book will not be found useful, whether such person hold the relation of a Parent, a Preceptor, or a Clergyman. The PARENT, who beholds his beloved child pining away, and fast approaching to a premature grave, in conse quence of some disease, which, for want of careful investiga tion of its real cause, has been set down to the score of con sumption, will, on perusing this work, be astonished to find, that in nine-tenths of the cases of young persons of both sexes, who perish of what is called pulmonary consumption, heart disease, tapes, &c., the sole and exclusive origin has been the indulgence in certain destructive habits practised by youth much more frequently than it is at all suspected. The PRECEPTOR, also, who holds (temporarily at least), the relation and responsibility of a parent, will, by perusing this work, be directed and very much assisted in investigating and detecting the too often con cealed practices so often introduced into schools, whereby the health and ultimately the lives of his pupils are sure to be com promised, unless the evil be arrested in proper time. He will here find a clue to guide him through the intricate mazes of this moral lab3rinth, and a standard whereby to judge, when delicacy of health should appear to attack any of his young charges, what the real causes of such attack may be, and thus he will be e nabled tw t o o_e fo h i e i k n the evil in its incipient state.

The heavy brirdca of poor rates thrown upon / • the out-parishes of the City of London, has O c casio ne d a great outcry. Previous t o th e 43d Fdi zabeth, in the year 1601, the relief of the poor in the City of London was entrusted to the care of the Lord Mayor, as Chief Magistrate of the City of London. 1595.—A year of sear3ity ; a survey r. - ns made by the direction of the Lord Afayor, of . the • number of poor householders in the Cit y of Lond on , , :equ i ring relief in his jurisdiction, an d 4,1.3:4 poor fa m ili es were reported i n a population of then 10,q03 (s es Ed en ' s wor k on t h e " State of the Poor." - City 43c1 E lizaheth passed fin. equal rates in liboi.ry, G u ildh a ll). large communities. -gorWich, with. its 42 parishes, and most other towns aril cities then adopted an equalized rate, according to th e intention of the Legislature.

So much were the objects of the London Workhouse approved, that during its continuance 150,00 C/. were received from benevolent persons by voluntary contributions (see p r i n t e d R eport ) . 1840.—The funds of the citizens of London are still devoted to the passing of Scotch and Irish paupers, from every parish within and without the City. The injustice complained of by the present system is shown by the fact that thr out-parishes are overburdened by the servants and labourers employed in the City, where there are no small houses to receive them. The resul t of the Poor-rate, in the 109 or 110 parishes appear to be as follows, for 1839 : Amount of Popula- Rental of Poor-rate Poor-rate Lion. Property. raised. in the £. ----- City Union, - X. 98 parishes 56,500 626,427 42,740 Or about 161 Last Lond o n, in the £. 4 parishes 33,311 125,683 15,C50 Or about 2s. 8d `Vest Lond on in the R. 7 parishes 27,825 103,614 13,462 Ditto. In the p ar i s h o f C r i pple ate gate Without, of the 1,689 houses, 829 are rated at and under 101. per annum, many whereof are occupied by the servants and la bourers employed by the residents of the inner p.arishes of the City, and who ultimately become chargeable to the parish; and the inner parishes, although receiving the benefit of,their labour, contribute no part towards their relief in sicknesS, adversity, infirmity, and old age. Thus the above parish had to contend Ivith a ruinous poor -rate of Gs. 9d. in the pound on a three-fourths rental, whilst the City parishesitotally, or nearly, escaped without charge. Under the effects of the new Poor law the rates are reduced to 3s. 6d. in the pound on an enlarged assessment, which in the year 1838 procured 4,573/. 7s. 6d., out of which 1,000/. 2s. 10d. was paid fir pauper children, and 1,0651. Bs. 4d. for relief cut of the workhouse ; and that parish has to pay tithes 1,5261. per annum, while the rich inner parishes pay but an average rate of about 16d. in the pound per annum. THE BURIAL TIDE DEAD IN THE METROPOLIS. A document nppended to the Report made to the Court of Common Council on the subject of the burial of the Dead in the Churchyards, &c., of the Me tropolis, contains, after a description of the revolting condition of seine of the burying grounds, the following observations, which were made by a medical man of con siderable practice, and will be read with much interest. DISGUSTING PRACTICES IN BURYING GROUNDS. From the preceding description of a few (and but a few) of the metropolitan buryinc , grounds; it will b e seen that by far th e grea t er number are crowded even to excess. This certainly ought not to have been per mitted. The moment it appeared that the space al lotted for interment was occupied, that moment the ground should have been closed, and other asylums set apart for the interment of the dead : an infringement upon the occupancy of the unresisting tenant violates the property of survivors, and desecrates the sanctity of the sepulchre. Men . pay funeral dues under an im plied assurance that the " dead" shall be " respected." It is well known, that formerly considerable alarm was manifested that the grave would be robbed of its de posits by the intrusion of the " resurrectionist." An Act of the Legislature had the effect of destroying the temptation to purloin the dead, but the grave is still in secure. Grounds accustomed to be held sacred are un ceremoniously cleared, under official superintendence ; and that too with such ruthless indifference and. wanton plblicity, that even passers-by complain of the indecent profanation. _ _ I shall now show by what arrangements the superfluity is reduced, and room made for subsequent interments; and in doing this, I shall restrict myself to a brief enu meration of some of the p ar ti c ulars. The means employed t o e ffect the purpo ses contem plated, consist in what, by the grave - diggers, is called "management." In this " management" of the ground, former occu pancy is disregarded. Coffins are remorselessly broken through, and their contents heaped together in wild con fusion, or scattered carelessly over the surface, exposed to " insult lewd and wantonness. Great expense is frequently incurred in funerals. The encasement is often strongly made, and highly or namented ; and yet (perhaps, therefore) second-hand `• coffin furniture," (nails, more especially,) may be found by the hundred weight at many of' the " dealers in marine stores :" nor can we wonder that coffin wood has been extensively used as an ordinary fuel in low neighbourhoods, The gases produced by the decompo sition of the dead are partially soluble in water ; and a fatty pellicle is instantly formed in a large quantity. The wood, saturated with these dissolved gases, and used as fuel, must diffuse, in addition to the exhalations con stantly given off from bodies in vaults and on the earth's surface, vast volumes of gaseous poison. z , A poor widow, to evidence her affection for her de parted husband, had seriously diminished her resources to defray the funeral expenses. The coffin was covered with black cloth, and was some time after identified by the maker of it,—it was nearly covered with lime. An undertaker, who had the charge of a funeral, went with a friend into the vault of a chapel. A coffin, re cently deposited, was taken under his arm with the greatest ease; his friend, doubting, poised the coffin, and was affected to tears, from the conviction that the body. had been removed. Several other coffins were in the same condition. The work man , • i n di gg i n g a grave i n t h © burying ground of a chapel much frequented, broke in upon a common-sewer, and deposited the cofhn there. The brother of the deceased insisted upon its removal ; he compelled th e man to p l ace th e body in the vau l t unt i l another grave w as d ug; th e n dared him to r emove i t, and cautioned hi m not aga i n t o dig a grav e f or a human being ent er i ng t h e common sewer . The foll ow i ng extract from a weekly p a p er of June 14th, ice 1840, cliscloses the existence of a ve r y revolting pract :--- !` A ' Constant Subscriber' informs us, that a few days since, he was passing in the rear of the Tabernacle, in Tottenham -court-road, to which is attached a public burial ground, when his attention was arrested by a strong senae of something burning, and which from its character he had no doubt was animal matter : Curiosity led him to the immediate spot, when, upon inquiry, he found that some of the bones of the dead were being COhjw u 4 and the . dense exhalation from the chimney Was the product of the doristirription. We have only to observe that, it this disgraceful practice is to be conti nued, the line of houses in St. John-street, which is in 'the immediate vicinity of the chapel, will soon be unte nanted. It is the duty of the lnpdlords to look to the matter, and indict the parties ; or the police may sum mon them before a Magistrate, who is empowered to in flict a fine of la" I have already adverted to the fact of bodies being placed within a few inches of the surface of the earth, and shown that many thousands of bodies, or rather shells, piled one upon the other, are to be found in the vaults of churches and of chapels. It would appear, in deed, that mourners, after they have seen " The deep grave receive the important trust . And heard the inipressive sentence—dust to dust," imagine that they have performed the last duty to their deceased friendi have they ever reflected that they have deposited a centre of infection to the living ? But what shall we propose upon thi.subject of Private Burying Ground ? Unquestionably, that they be im mediately and for ever closed ; and that the proprietors, presuming that they have not acted illegally, receive a . just compensation for their interest in the land only; and that the dead there deposited remain undisturbed until a general cemetery or cemeteries be appointed to receive them, after a decent exhumation, and a solemn and ap-. proprinte transmission. It is true, that a correct registry of burials may now be anticipated ; why not a registry of the burial grounds (not one of which should be pH vate)—the situation—the extent of ground—the numbers buried--arid the .perio(“latayilayaaareMabael.:aopllll ? particular space can only receive a limited' number ; that number having been deposited, the ground should be closed, and no disturbance should on any account be per mitted but under the direction of an approved and re sponsible superintendent. The floor of Enon Chapel, Clements-lane, measures in length 59 feet three inches or thereabouts, and in width about 28 feet eight inches, so that its superficial con tents do not exceed 1,700 square feet. Now allowing, for an adult body only twelve feet, Aid for theayoung, upon an average, six ti!et, and supposing an equal num ber of each to be there deposited, the medium space occu pied by each would be nine feet; if, then, every inch of ground were occupied, not more than 189 (say 200 in round numbers) would he placed upon the surface; and admitting (an extravagant admission most certainly) that it were possible to place six tiers of coffins upon each other, the whole space could net contain more than 1,200; and yet it is stated with confidence, and by credible authority, that from 10,000 to 12, 000 bodies have been deposited in this very apace within the last sixteen years! Mr. Tumbleton, a highly. respectable undertaker, of No. 4, Warwick-street, Golden-square, informed me that about eleven years ago he attended the funeral of an " Odd Fellow," on a Sunday, at Enon Chapel (parti cularly mentioned in the preceding pages); he smelled a disgusting stench; he - was seized, within forty hours, with a violent pain in the back of the left hand, con tinuing about an hour; had "cold chills" within half an hour afterwards; took a glass of rum and water, and went to bed; he arose in the morning very ill, and con sulted Dr. Burnett, of Golden-square, who ordered him home, and told him that he would "give him three weeks before he got up again." This prognostic was true to a certain extent, for the patient kept his bed nine weeks with a malignant typhus, and all its concomitan evils. On the 10th of July last, I was called to attend a widow, named Adams, house-keeper to a gentleman re siding in Gray's Inn-square. Some days before my arrival she had been attacked with pain, which she re ferred to the region of the liver. The pulse, on my first visit, was weak and easily compressible, ranging between one hundred and twenty and one hundred and thirty ; she complained of no pain; her heart beat tumultu ously; the tongue was brown and dry, and protruded with difficulty —her general symptoms were those of ac tion without power. I carefully watched the case; • but, notwithstanding all my efforts, my patient sunk on the 22d of the same month. She had been a regular at tendant at Eton Chapel. She died of typhus, accom panied with symptoms of extreme putresceney. Can the cause be problematical? Four bodiets had been placed in a tomb in the Eastern Cemetery, into which it was found water had penetrated : the first body had been interred in February, 1836, the last in April, 1839. Two grave-diggers employed in the removal of the water and the dead bodies were from the commencement of their labour -struck with the fetid odour given off, yet they continued their work. They had removed a large quantity of water and two coffins, when. in attempting to seize the third, their feet slipped, and the water remainingin the tone?) - Was 'Violently agi tated by their fall. One of the men fell instantly life less. His comrade made several efforts to raise him ; at the third attempt he fell deprived of consciousness upon the body of his unfortunate 'companion ; assistance being quickly rendered, the men were withdraikn from the tomb. The grave-digger who first fell was dead ; the other, notwithstanding the extreme attentions of two Medical men, remained unconscious during six hours— for the space of a month afterwards he suffered greatly from difficulty of breathing, and weakness of the-legs, which in the coarse of the same month were affected with a general desquamation.—(Annales d'Hygiene, January, 1840.) My remarks, published upwards of twelve months since, have unfortunately had too solemn a verification. At p. 183 of the " Gatherings from Grave Yards," • will he found the following description of the abominable and dangerous condition of the burying-grounds of St. Mar garet's, Westminster : " There are two burying grounds belonging to this parish, one near the Abbey, adjoining the church, and the other in the Broadway, Westminster. The ground is excessively crowded; fune rals are very frequent ; the ground behind the church is too full to ,admit of increase, with propriety or safety." Confirmatory of the above description, made from re peated personal observation, I quote the following re marks from high authority :—" The Commissioners for the Improvements in Westminster reported to Parlia ment, in - 1814, that St. Margaret's churchyard could not, consistently with the health of the neighbourhood, be used much longer as a burying-ground, ' for that it was with the greatest difficulty a vacant place could, at any time, be found for strangers ; the family graves, gene rally, would not admit of more than one interment, and many of them were then (in the year one thousand eight hundred and fourteen ! !) too full for the reception of any member of the family to which they belonged.' " Quarteilfßeview, September, 1840, p. 380. " William Green, a grave-digger, while employed in his vocation in the churchyard of St. Margaret's, West, minster, was suddenly seized with faintness, excessive chilliness, giddiness, and inability to move his limbs. He was seen to fall, removed home, and his usual medical attendant was sent for. The poor fellow's impression was, that " he should never leave his bed alive ; he was struck with death." lie was, subsequently, removed to the hospital, where he died in a few days. No hope was entertained, from the first, of his recovery. " Mr. 8., the medical attendant, was seized with pre cisely the same symptoms. He was attended by me. I apprehended from the first a fatal result : he died four days after the decease of the grave-digger. " The fatal effects of this miasm did not end here. The servant was seized on the day after the death of her master, and she sank in a few days. " There can be -no doubt of the fact, that the effluvium from the grave was the cause of the death of these three individuals. " The total inefficiency in the three cases, of all re medial means, showed the great power of the virus or miasm over the animal economy from the commencement of the attack. "J. C. ATKINSON, Surgeon, " Romney Terrace,,Westminster." —Extracted from the Lancet, June 13, 1840. Mr. Leese "had lately attended a lady Whom was obliged to prohibit fro m go i ng t o c h urc h i n the west part of Loudon, in consequence of the injury she had sus tained .repeatedly from the effluvia, proceeding from the vaults beneath the building. These vaults were nearly full of coffins, piled one above another, some of them having given way from the weight imposed on them"— Extracted from the Lancet of May 1, 1841. CONCLUDING OBSERVATIONS. I have now detailed some of the particulars of a long and laborious inquiry, and have placed before my readers a statement of the gross abuses and immoral:tendencies arising from the practices now prevalent in the burial places of the metropolis, and with the full conviction that I have fearlessly, and to the best of my ability, per formed an. important public duty, in submitting the re sult of my investigations to the judgment of my coun trymen. I look forward with confident anticipation to the cordial co-operation of my fellow-citizens, and also to the assistance of the Legislature, in annihilating or effectually reforming the present system of burial—a system fraught as much with insult to the dead as with extreme danger and affliction to the living. _ If I have entered upon a repulsive and disgusting detail, it has been from a profound conviction of its ne cessity. Tho profits of private speculators have not as yet been compelled to defer to the vast, the enormous, the invaluable, yet utterly neglected interests of the pub lic health and public morality, yet are they too insepara bly connected to be dissevered. " Immorality and disease are multiplied by practices which should only teach the resurrection and the life.' Jam much gratified to be able to add, that the Legislators, who regulate the criminal, the fiscal code of the country, are at length convinced of the necessity that exists for their interference with the practices of selfish, unprincipled, or ignorant men,_ who have forgotten, or will not understand, that death, like life, propagates itself." I venture to hope that the health of the metropolis will form a prominent feature in the measures of the Administration, and the attention of Par liament be early directed to inquire into and to adopt such measures as may avert threatening calamities, and secure future sanatory improvements. It must be remembered that, although my attention was originally directed to the condition of the burial places in my own immediate neighbourhood ; and that, although I have been prompted to extend my inquiries into the condition of those in other districts ; yet that, taking into consideration the magnitude of the metro polis, the abuses here exposed (and many others that might be mentioned), however repulsive, disgusting, and immoral, would not amount to a tithe of the detail, were London: J.

It obviously becomes easy for a person of very moderate income to secure, by this arrangement, a provision for his family ; and should he at any time at effecting the insurance succeed to, or acquire, a fortune, he may relinquish his policy, having only paid one half the premiums for the first five years, instead of the whole, as in all other Companies. Thus a man of 25 years old may, by an annual payment of 281. 16s. 3d. for the first five years, and afterwards the full premium, 571. 12s. 6(1. yearly, secure to his widow and children at his death payment of no less than 3,0001., sub ject only to the deduction of 144/.

PAIGE 5d . . , . the investigation pursued under authority and judicious arrangement. It may, I fear, with truth be said, from the bUrial places of one vicinity—know all the rest. If so, let those who at present supinely look on and disregard the dangers threatening their poorer neighbours from these vast sources of disease, - remember that pestifererous ex halations arising frona the numerous infecting centres of the metropolis are no respecters of persons ; by the ever shifting gales of the moment they may be visited, even in their chosen localities, their power of resistance ex perimented upon, and a severe penalty incurred—the punishment of their omitting or neglecting to avoid evils self-inflicted, and therefore removable. It is demonstrable that the centres of infection are found principally in .crowded neighbourhoods, and a vitiated atmosphere : here they are propagated and nourished by the action and reaction, the cause and effect, constantly in operation ;—for, in many of these very dis tricts, the so-called burying places, the receptacles for the dead, are situated ; their insatiable appetite, yet un glutted, is constantly devouring fresh 'victims, and these again are ejected, after a slight sojourn, to make room for the succeeding occupants, who retain their situation only by the interest or caprice of a hireling grave. digger. Upon a matter so intimately connected with the pros perity and happiness of a State, the attention of the Government cannot be too anxiously directed. Who Will venture to affirm that the health of a community is not of the first importance to the stability and prosperity of society ? Without health, riches, honours, and dis tinctions are comparatively worthless to their possessors. Who can doubt but that a healthy people are the most valu able defenders of the soil ; the most formidable in war, and the most useful in time of peace ? Throughout all ages rulets have unfortunately.manifeated but little re gard to the interests or the amelioration of the condition of tin4actr.,,lncixiurmrt4;itte2l4-4;etkiltonrnfoll11111110* ment, until, by some dreadful calamity, they .have beeii driven to measures of improvement. The vast numbers of burying places within tilt bills of mortality are so many centres or foci of infects'on— generatina constantly the dreadful effluvia of hunaln. putrefaction—acting according to the circumstances os locality, nature of soil, depth from the surface, tempera ture, currents of air—its moisture or dryness, and the power of resistance in those subjected to its influence-- (and who is not ?)—as a slow or an energetic poison. The reflection will obtrude itself on every thinking person. How long is this state of things to continue ? Who is not deeply interested in this question ? Fami lies, home, kindred, relations, friends, the thousand syrweathies that have grown with our growth and strengthened with our strength—are so intimately con nected with our subject, that the more deeply we reflect, the more settled is our conviction of the necessity for th e interference of th e Legislature upon a point so intimately involving the beat interests of society. I have freely and earnestly spoken of the tremendous risk incurred by the mutilations of the resistless dead, portions of whose bodies, in various stages of decomposition, are thus made the instruments of punishment to the living. Yet no attention is paid to remonstrance, urged from con viction ; no heed given to warnings, however disinte rested and however urgent. I would not unnecessarily alarm the public mind ; but the opinions I have advanced are not hypothe tical ; they are founded upon the experience and prac tices of past ages, confirmed by the experience and practice of the present day ; and, yet this momentous subject has hitherto been passed over in total silence, as though insignificant or indifferent, by English writers of eminence. I have, therefore, not hesitated, feeling the paramount importance of the question, to throw my mite into the public treasury, hoping to see, at least, as the result of my labours, the enforcement-of efficient " Sana tory Regulations" throughout every department of the kingdom, and the entire removal of the dead from the im mediate proximity 61 the living. I may be allowed to state, that I am entirely uncon nected with any speculation, public or private, having reference to the establishment of Cemeteries. Com mending, as I do, the efforts of private individuals, who have originated a reform which should long since have commenced n convinced of the e he Executive, necessity I fo am, m legislative nevertheless, interfe rence frilly to destroy the present dangerous system of inhu elation, that I hesitate not to express my opinion, that the Government of th e country w i ll ult i mately be lriven to the adoption of means for enforcing the prohibition of the interment of the dead in the midst of the N.B. The whole of the burial grounds in the metropo lis, and which have been in use many hundred years, is only eighty acres. There are now upwards of four hun dred acres; and an Act of Parliament has passed for an other of fifty acres, and one of twenty-five acres, situated. at moderate distances from London; therefore ample pro vision is made for many years. The fees for opening the ground, and for tablets, are much more reasonable than the average of churches and churchyards. MEETING FOR THE PRESENTA TION OF PLATE TO JAMES [TARDIER, ESQ. A public meeting of the friends of James Harmer, Esq., late one of the Aldermen of the City of London, was held yesterday in the large room of the London Coffee House, Ludgate-hill, for the purpose of raising a subscription to present to that gentleman a piece of plate, on his • retirement from the Magistracy of the City of London. - On the motion of Mr. GALLOWAY, seconded by Mr. RICHARD TAYLOR, Sir James Duke, Alderman and M.P., took the Chair at half-past two o'clock. The CHAIRMAN said, it was not necessary for him to offer many observations connected with the subject which had called them together. He regretted that the friends of Mr. Harmer had not found some person better quali fied than himself to fill the Chair. He had great satis faction however, in accepting the office, and doing what he could to afford the friends of that gentleman in the Ward an opportunity of expressing their high sense of the manner in which Mr. Harmer discharged his public duties as a Magistrate, and their cordial feelings of re gard towards hi m as a pr i vate i n di v id ual. He believed he might say that the idea of a public subscription ori ginated with a few of the personal friends of Mr. Har mer in the Ward of Farringdon Without, and that idea having been very generally and cordially responded to— fur at the present moment a considerable sum was sub scribed for the purpose of presenting him with a piece of plate—the gentlemen of the Ward found, from the nu merous applications made to them, that many persons un connected with it were desirous of contributing to that mark of respect to Mr. Harmer. With that view it was considered desirable that a public meeting should be had, and he would now read to them the advertisement convening the meeting. (The Chairman here read the advertisement.) No person regretted more than himself the retirement of Mr. Harmer from the Aldermanship of the City of London, and although lie felt highly flattered at having been selected as his successor for the Ward of Farringdon Without, yet he had no hesitation in saying that it was not possible to meet in the City of London a gentleman who was better qualified to discharge the du ties of his office.--(Cheers.) He had had the pleasure of knowing Mr. Harmer for some time as a member of the same Company (the Spectacle Makers), and during the time he was a member of that Court, lie had received from him marks of great kindness, and therefore he was happy to have an opportunity not only of expressing his personal sense of the kindness he had experienced from Mr. Harmer, but also of testifying his sense of the man ner in which he had discharged his duty as a Magistrate. ; He would now call upon the Secretary to read the list of subscriptions that had been already received. Mr. S3IITH, the Honorary Secretary, then said,--Sir James and Gentlemen, Before reading the list of sub scribers, it gives me great pleasure in being able to state that the respectable and highly influential gentlemen who have kindly assisted in forming the lists and receiv ing the amount of subscriptions, have been very much gratified by the readiness and spontaneous liberality with which subscribers have come forward to pay a mark of respect to Mr. Harmer. It has convinced them that a man whose benevolence and kindness, and whose public and private worth were appreciated by all evil° knew him e wonld sooner or later receive that considera tion to which he is so eminently entitled.—(llear, hear.) But we are far from assuming that we have fulfilled the duties of this important undertaking, nor are w e am bitious of any other result from this imperfect attempt ; but the framers of a plan—the opening of a way for the liberality and exertions of the numerous friends of A who may thus very easily ass i st us to per formlr. an thoroughlylei, • and successfully the object we have in view. The Secretary then read th e li st of subscriptions, which included 21/. from the Chairman, Sir J. Duke, and a long list of subscriptions of 10/ . and 51. from gentle men of all shades of political opinions, amounting in the whole to about 4201. The reading of the list was re ceived with much cheering. Mr. RICHARD TAYLOR felt much pleasure in moving the first resolution, and thereby joining in an act of public justice to a faithful public servant.—(Loud cheers.) He had for many years witnessed the private worth and great public services of Mr. Harmer, and he joined with the greatest satisfaction with his neighbours and fellow-citizens in bearing his testimony to the inde pendent and useful manner in which that gentleman had discharged his public duties. His retirement from the magistracy would be to him, as it- would be to all who knew him, a subject of the greatest regret.—(Cheers.) Mr. Harmer had great capacity for business, and great diligence; and he added to these one of the kindest hearts and the most generous dispositions he had ever known.—(Cheers.) All these qualities enabled him to be one of the most useful and valuable public servants he had ever known. In these feelings he was borne out by the sentiments expressed towards Mr. Harmer at the first wardmote held aft er hi s re ti remen t, an d w hi c h was themo more valuable as emanating from those amongst his fellow citizens who had known bins longest and best. expres sion He would also appeal to the unanimous sion of their opinions from the sixteen Common of esteem, Council men ,of the Ward, and these expressions tica _ ions, was coining from gentlemen of varionsiiepio ini many of them strongly opposedl to* which .Mr. Harmer the best proof of the estimation subject of politics, politics, was was held.

Perhaps if would' be better, for him n o t to refer to the circumstances ' Which ha d Oc- • caßi onEd his retirement from the magistracy.

Mr. Stock-. dale was proceeding to make some observations upon/ Mr. Harmer's religious opinions, in which he was inter rupted by the Chairman ; and, after repeated attempts to go on with this part of hisOeme, gave way to the sense of the meeting, and sat down, 'The resolution was then carried unanimously, and with :applause. Mr. WneatiesoN, in moving the next resolution, said that, although the present meeting was a small one, that was no reason fur despondence.—(Hear, hear, and a laugh.)' One volunteer was as good as twelve pressed men, and therefore. they might consider every person present as the representative of twelve others.—(Hear, and a laugh.) Our great poet had said that ." Men's evil d eeds live after them, their good deeds die with them, and are .buried in their graves." But he trusted that the effect of that meeting would be, that the good deeds of Mr. Harmer should not die with him.— (Cheers.) He trusted that every one present would use his utmost exertions to raise the subscription to staah an amount as would enable the Committee to present to Mr. Harm era testimonial worthy of his acceptance.—(Hear, hear.) He concluded by moving " That a subscription be enured into, for the purpose of presenting to James Harmer, Esq., a piece of plate." Mr. KIRK rose to second the resolution. He had known Mr. Harmer for some years, and had known L im ns a humane, liberal, and intelligent man. He knew theta B N -rat men always devised liberal things, and he hoped,., there:Fore, that a liberal subscription would be raised. .. Mr. LTARDINQ said that he moved the next resolution with very ,-rreat pleasure. He had something which was p l eas i ng . to 6ermraunicate to them, on the part of a gen tleman residinj in the county of Essex. Hearing of that meeting he ,came over to London for the purpose of contr ib ut i ng hi s shire to the object of the meeting, His name was keter Rogers, Esq., and his donation was 5/. (Cheers.) He begged leave to move the next resolution, which was—" That Sir James Duke, Mr. Deputy Blacket, Mr. Wilkinson, Mr. Adlard, Mr. Taylor, and Mr. Lowe, with power to add to th e i r number,• be a Committee, to carry the object of thin :e.aat;a s That Mr. Deputy Blacket be requested to act as Trea surer, and that Mr. If. S. Smith be requested to act as Honorary Secretary." Mr. PEARCE had tun,ah 'alt.:mire in seconding the resolu tion. He perfectly concurred in the object of that meet ing. It was one in which ever gentleman in the City of London was interested. Mr, GALLOWAY begged to have his name inserted in the Committee. The CHAIRMAN said it was in consequence of his late indisposition that Mr, Galloway's came was not in serted, as. they did not anticipate that he would have been present, and not from any want of respect to Mr. Galloway.—(Cheers.) The resolution was then carried unanimously, with the addition of Mr. Galloway's name. Mr. PEACOCK moved that the resolutions then passed should be advertised in the different morning and even ing papers. He would not travel over the ground of well merited praise bestowed. on Mr. Harmer. He had al ways found him a kind, good, and excellent man. He bad never named any case to him that his hand was not immediately in his pocket. He (Mr.reacock) had never put a guinea into Mr. Harmer's packet, but he had taken many oat—(Hear, hear, and a laugh)—and he always gave his guinea in such a manner that made it worth two.—(Hear.) He concluded by reading the resolution. The resolution was carried. The CHAIRMAN then stated that upwards of SO/. had been received since the meeting commenced.—(Cheer.) He begged to suggest that the amount of subscriptions should he added in the advertisements. Mr. GALLOWAY said be hoped that the full list of names would be given with the subscriptions attached. It, was but justice to the parties.. Mr. r.'AYLOR said that was a question that would be, discussed in the Committee.

THE OLD ENGLISH GENTLENIAN; A, SPORTING NOVEL:, These three volumes bri.rig into mbinatiOn at once the attractions o f an agreeable novel, c a ° nd a series of highly-coloured pictures of life in the country, commending to our strongest sympathies the manly recreations which have ever distinguished the Old English Gentleman; and will, it is .to be hoped, his descendants to the end of his generation. A Squire, not, indeed, of the Western class, but one in whose breast all the more vigorous virtues of the heart plenteously fructify, takes the central place in our 'author's various groups, and in all presents the model of the thorough. sportsman, the affectionate parent, the just and genial. landlord. The different sports of the field, wood, and. water are most spiritedly described in these pages, and. with all the fervour and nice observation of one fondly familiar with them in practice.-11forning Herald.

MUSIC A CURE FOR IMADNEss.--Accounts have recently appeared in various 'French papers of the attempt to appeal to the imperfect sympathies and scat tered associations of the patients, at the Auxerre Asylum for the insane, through the medium of music, as a substi tute for violence and restraint. The patients are in structed, successfully, in the theory and practica of music, and seventeen of them, under this delightful and mild discipline, are said t o h ave baen cured, and to have been returned, since the end of last year, to their fami lies, in the full re-possession of all their intellectual faculties.
