I had the best medical advice, including ti-at of too physicia•• sin London, without obtraning any essential relief. I went to Margate, and had the best medial dvice, tryin g the warm bath there, and at other places, without obtaining any reuefit. A short time a g o I was rec mmenve t to try Blair's rout and tieumatic Pills; and sea thereby induced to purchase a box of this yak - table medicine of Me SIS Hammond and Co , Chemists of this town and hes e I had taken the quantity therein contained, I was entirely free from pain, and speedily recover,d my health Isy taking a few ,more Pills, and ha pity there has been no return of this di tressing malady.

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

This Work, a Seventh Edition of which is now presented to the public, ten thousand copies have been exhausted since its first appearance, has been very much improved and enlarged by the addition of a more extended and clear detail of general principles, as also by the insertion of several new and highly in teresting cases. The book, as has been already stated, is the result of very ample and daily increasing experience in a class of diseases, which, for some unaccountable reason, have been either altogether overlooked, or treated almost with iediffer 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 such pernicious effects the su re to result from the practices of pretenders, authors have fur a considerable time devoted themselves ex clusively to a certain class of diseases; of the necessity of so which arise doing, they were furt her convinced by feelin g that tact in in _vestigating the latent sourtes of man b y ai sease , , from certain secret praetices, can only e acquired by an ex clusive and undivided attention to this department of medical practice. The numberless instances daily occurring, whersie 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 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 sex es, who perish of what is called pulmonary consumption, heart disease, tapes, &c., the sole and exclusive origin has b e en the indulgence in certain destructive habits practised by youth much more frequently than it is at all suspected. Th e PRECEPTOR, also, who holds (temporarily at least), the relation and responsibility of a parent, will, by . perusing, this work, be directed and very much assis t e d in i nvestigating 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 he 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 labyrinth, and a standard whereby te 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 b e enabled to check the evil in its incipient state. The CLERGYMAN, in whose sacred character is at once concentrated the two-fold relation of part nt and instructor, r ill here be directed as to the n ature of those habits to which youth is addicted ; he will also be enabled to point out the dis astrous consequences which are sure to follow from them if not relinquished. Messrs. CURTIS and CO. are to be consulted daily at their residence, N. 7, Frith -street, Soho-square, London. Country Patients are requested to be as minnte as possible in the detail of their cases—as to the duration of the complaint, the symptoms, age, general habits of living, and occupation in life of the party ; the communication must be accompanied by the usual Consultation Fee of 11., without which no notice whatever can be taken of their application ; and in all cues, the most inviolable secrecy may be relied on, No 16,278 CLOSE OF THE PRESENT EXHIBITION.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE: EGHAM RACES.-WEDNESDAY. Owing to the drizzling rain which fell without ceasing from an early hour in the morning until noon, a long afternoon's racing passed off flatly, in presence of a company consisting almost exclusively of sporting men, and not a little to the cha grin of the tenants of the stands and the refreshment booths, whose profits arise from those who visit a race-course, with no other idea than that of " making a day of it." The altcrnoort was damp i and " muggy," and the ground us bad for the pedes trians as t was for the running horses.

Linseed Oil has been in brisk request, both for home consumption and export, at 31s 6d to 325, upon shich terms the crushers are by no means anxious to realise, on account of the high rates current for Seed.

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY—Aug. 24. (Before Mr. Commissioner nom.) COLLS, THOMPSON', AND HARRIS'S BANKRUPTCY, LATE BILL. BROKERS, OF LOMBARD-STREET. In this case the bankrupts appeared before the Court to pass their final examination. Very few creditors attended, but ad ditional proofs, to the extent of 19,556/. as. were admitted, making, with the proofs admitted at the sitting tbr the choice of assignees, a total of 13ti,695/. 189. 2d. already proved against the estate. None of the proofs offered to-day were contested, and the subject of the claim of the London and County Bank was not in any way alluded to. In answer to a question from the Commissioners as to the expected amount of dividend, the official assignee said that is quite uncertain. There are still a great number of bills which may eventually come against the estate. The bankrupts were then sworn to the truth of their ac counts, and were severally declared passed. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. HOME CIRCUIT—Croadon, August 25. The business of this Assize did not terminate until late last night, after most unexampled duration. The Court has been occupied for thirteen days, nearly ten hours per day, and Lord Chief Justice Tindal has disposed of upwards of a hundred cases during that period. MANCHESTER BETTING. TUESDAY EVENING.—The insignificant character of the York list has not prevented several of our speculators from being present ; and therefore the loom, this forenoon, not only lacked influential faces, but left business at a very low ebb.— The following were the chief offers : THE LEAMINGTON STAKES.-3 to 1 against Rhodanthe (offered, take 7to 2); 6to 1 against any other (offered) ; 8 to 1 against Modesty (taken). Offers to take 4tol on Mo desty and Champagne (layers of 60 to 20). As the room broke up 100 to 6 would have been taken on the Lord Mayor, it was offered to Bin two good quarters. Kingston Robin, Recorder, The Dean, Caution, and one or two othe►s, which had been previously nibbled upon, were not, to our knowledge, even named; we must therefore give their prices as nominal. Since Friday the first and last horses have been supported in Liverpool at 8 to 1, and Robin here at noon yesterday at that price ; Recorder at 6 and 7to 1; Bto lis the outside offer against Champagne (takers of a point more). THE ST. LEGER.—Every day tends to bring this event to a completer certainty. To.day the desire war very great in the best of quarters to lay against anything " bar two.'' Middle ham, at the opening, was picked out at the London price, but soon two points more were laid ; 30 to 10 was laid on two against the field, but this we consider rather above the market. Offers at the close to take 5 to 4, and the layer to have either Coronation or the field. We thought the horse had by a shade the call. Even on Coronation. 3 to 1 agst Lord Westminster's Van Amburgh—offered. Take 7 to 2 freely 12 to 1 agst Duke of Cleveland's Middleham—taken 13 to 1 apt Mr. Ferguson's Tearaway—offered 16 to 1 agst Mr. Bell's The Squire—offered. Into 5 laid last night. 100 to 3 was taken yesterday on the beaten Jack Shepherd. THE YORK TIVO-YEAR-OLD.—A little money, at evens, and 5 to 4 on Idolatry, penciled down. STATE OF TRADE. MANCHESTKR,—AIthough the market for yarn continues much depressed, there has been a tolerable amount of business done this week, and some kinds, particularly the lower counts of mule yarn, which are relatively scarce, command rather better prices than last week; whilst water twist, especially of good quality, is rather more difficult of sale. In goods there is little change from last week ; perhaps a little more business has been done in 27-inch printing cloth, but at wretchedly low prices. All other kinds of cloth continue greatly depressed, and without any prospect of amendment until some check is applied to the production. ROCHDALE FLANNEL MARKET, AUG. 23.—We have had a steady demand for flannels to-day, without any change in the prices. The wool market has been heavy, and prices about the tame as those of the preceding Monday. iitrnmsn-artr , . .114AnicET - , Auv.1..4.-01.1 the whole this WB3 a busy market day—as good a one as any this year. The demand is chiefly for fancy woollens, and other descriptions of fancy goods, which have now become the staple trade of this district. In plain superfines there was little done. Ilu4ness in the warehouses is decidedly better, and prices are looking up.—Manchester Guardian. CORN AVERAGES.

SUGLR.—To-day the market for West India exhibited a tranquil appearance, both grocers and refiners operated with caution. The private purchases amounted to only 100 hhds and trc, and prices must agaiu be quoted fully 6d lower, ex cepting for the best yellow sorts, which have brought former rates. At public sale 120 casks 29 trs Barbadocs, and 89 hhds 4 barrels Demerara were offered; the former principally found buyers, but the biddings were languid, and prices gave way 6d to Is per cwt, excepting for the best yellow sorts, which main tained former rates, fine yellow went at 67s to 67s 64, good 64s 6d to 655, good middling 63s to 645, middling 60s to 61s 6d, low 58s 6d to 595, very ordinary heavy 57s 6d; the latter taken in above the value, good strong grey at 60a to 61s tid, and middling 58s to 59s per cwt.

Pieces and Bastards dull of sale, at the rates quoted above. Treacle, however, met with a free sale, at 25s tid to 35a per cwt. Bonded Crushed Sugar was taken sparingly at 303 for the finest quality. Loaves heavy of sale. MAURITIUS.—This afternoon there was no public sale, and by private contract little business was done ; former rates were barely supported.

At public sale 199 casks Bengal Mo lasses, and 288 casks Syrup, were offered; the former taken in at 21s, and the latter withdrawn. COFFEE.—This afternoon there was less activity in the Cof• fee market, and holders were snore disposed to realise. The public sales consisted of 2030 bags Havannah, 1589 bags Cey lon, 201 bags Brazil, 903 bags Myore, 36 casks 65 bags West India ; Havannah nearly all taken in at full rates, viz. fine ordinary colory at 58s, fine ordinary pale at 52s to 555, good ordinary 43s to 475, a few lots were sold at 47s to 565, for good and fine ordinary ; Ceylon was only partly disposed of but former rates were supported, good ordinary pale went at 75s to 765, good and fine ordinary green 77s to SOs ; Mysore taken in at 55s to 60e for ordinary end good ordinary ; Bri tish Plantation was all unclean and bought in, fine ordinary Demerara at 70s, Brazil fetched 39s to 4is for ordinary and good ordinary.

Company's Congou, which fetched 2s 9d on Tuesday last, has been nisposed of cur rently at 2s 5d cash ; but yesterday, at the close of the market, sellers could not be found under 2a sid per lb ; at existing rates some of the merchants, however, are not disposed to sell, considering the accounts to be of a diversified and unsatisfactory nature, and that the truce conclutd with the Chinese will be of short duration; at the same tinlr, the trade have generally made up their minds to cease to operate until the arrival of the Overland Mail, which may be looked for towards the close of next week. The deliveries of Tea at this port h4ve been 440,0001bs during the past week. To-day the market for free trade Tea was in a dull state, and few purchases were made in either black or green sorts, but holders do not appear disposed to submit to any further re duction ; 2s 4d is the value of ordina r y soun d C ongou cash, 2s 4d to 2s 5d for good ordinary, and 2s 4tl for common Twankay.

This was an action brought by the plaintiff, %ho sued in forma pauperis, against the defendant, a Magistrate fur the County of Surrey, to recover compensation from him for an alleged false imprisonment. The ease possessed no other interest than this, that, through some informality or legal technicality, the pauper was defeated by the Magistrate —a matter of every day occurrence. NORTHERN ClRCUlT.—Liverpool, Aug. 24. CROWN 511)t. , -(BefOre Lord DE'NITAN). - William Jenner, a middle-aged person, respectably dressed, and of respectable appearance, was indicted for the wilful mur der of Mary Jenner, his wife, by shooting her with a pistol. Mr. Starkie and Dr. Brown conducted the prosecution, and Sir G. Lewin and Mr. Murphy the defence. The Court was crowded to excess at an early hour, very great interest having been created in consequence of ie prisoner having been for many years a respectable merchant in this place. Mr. STA RKIE having stated a brief °Wine of the case to the Jury, called the witnesses. George Jenner, the only remaining child of the prisoner, an intelligent lad, deposed, that on Friday, the 26th of April last, the family consisted of his father, mother, brother, and himself. He went to bed about eleven o'clock, and slept with his brother in the front bed-room, and his father and mother in the back bed-room. He was awoke in the morning about six o'clock by the report of a pistol ; his father was standing beside the bed with something in his hand. It was a pistol. Witness jumped out of bed, and caught him by the hands and held him against the door. He got loose, and witness went down stairs to the front door, but could not get out, and he went into the parlour ; he then heard the report of a second pistol, and his father came down stairs, and caught hold of witness with his right hand. He had two pistols. Witness caught hold of cne and got it from him. He wanted it back. Witness wanted to go upstairs to see his mother. He did so, but did not find her, and came down again, when the prisoner followed him and got hold of him. He struck the prisoner on the head with the pistol, and asked him what he did so for. He said he was crazy. Witness then went into the kitchen, and thought he heard his mother call. He found her on the floor. There was blood about her head. He spoke to her but she could not answer. The prisoner came down, and witness tried to raise her up, but being encumbered with the pistols could not. Prisoner asked witness to give him them. Witness said no, he would throw them away. He then went into the yard and threw them into the midden. He told witness to come in, but he refused, and said he would go for a surgeon and the police. He then went out of the back door and along a lane. He snot a man whom he told to get a policeman, and went himself to get Mr. Ackerley, the surgeon, and returned in five or ten minutes. The policeman was there then. On cross-examination the witness stated that the prisoner had always been kind to his mother. About eight months ago he was in a state of great excitement, and brought home very ill. His face was red, and he was very lively. Mother said he was foolish to think so much of things that were past. In October or September there was something about prussic acid, and Mr. Ackerley and another surgeon were sent f,,r. After that witness or his mother always came home with him from the counting-house. • W. Maddock, a policeman, went to the house and knocked. The prisoner asked, "Is that George?" The policeman said " Yes," and he was let in. He found Mrs. Jenner lying in the kitchen, bleeding from a wound in the side of the head. Other policemen came, and they found a double-barrelled pistol on the kitchen floor—one barrel loaded, the other dis charged. Another double-barrelled pistol was found in the prisoner's pocket, both barrels loaded. A box, with materials for loading them, was also found. To Rice Smith, inspector of police, the prisoner said that Mr. Roberts was to blame for all this ; and if they all four had gone to the cemetery together it would have been right. He said his wife had been a good wife, and spoke of his two fine boys. When the son George came the prisoner asked the boy to kiss him. He said, "No, you shot my mother and brother, and you wanted to shoot me." He said, " Yes, we should all have come to poverty." He said be had been unfOrtimate in busitees, and he had been crazy for a long time. He then wrung his hands and said, " Oh I Mr. Roberts, Mr. Roberts, what have you done t) my wife and family !" Mrs. Jenner lived till the 6th of May, and then died. After some discussion a deposition made by her was received in evidence; it stated that nn the morning of the occurrence she had come down before her husband. He came down shortly after with his shoes in his hands, and was going to clean thew, as the servant was ab:ent. He went up stairs again. She shortly after felt a shock, and thought he had had a tit. She shortly after heard the children crying out " murder," and she called Mr. Jennor. She then became insensible. Mr. Ackerley stated, that he said to the pri so ner, " This is a sad business.' He replied, " Yes, lam a deranged man; you've been here before, you know." On cross-examinatiwn Mr. Ackerley stated that he and Dr. Benning hid been called in in November, when it was sus pected that the prisoner had taken prussic acid, and remedies were administered. He seemed then to be labouring under insanity—a monomania as to the state of his affairs, which he thought in a ruinous condition. A number of witnesses ware called to speak as to the state of the prisoner's mind, and the Jury, after a short retirement, returned with a verdict of Acquittal, on the ground of insanity, The verdict appeared to give universal satisfaction. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. GUILDHALL Yesterday Messrs. Yates, Hedges, Middleditch, Jordan, Wall, and Dyer, and eight others, Shareholders in the Union Flint Glass Company at Bromley, attended before Sir Peter Laurie, to solicit his advice what they should do under the fol lowing harassing circumstances :—They stated, that in the year 1839, a prospectus was issued, representing that there was an immense consumption of glassware in the metropolis, that the supply came from different parts of the country, and the breakage on the road was se enormous, that a very large pro fit would be made - by making the glass in the metro polis. The price of the shares was only 51., so as to bring them within the reach of men in moderate circum stances like the applicants. The works were erected at Bromley, and after working up 4,0001. worth of materials, they found the scheme was a decided failure. The estimates, which led them to expect a large profit, were found to be fal lacious. The glass instead of selling at 10d. a pound, was sold at 4d. ; but even at 10d. it would be manufactured at a loss. Coals were found to amount to nearly half the expense of fabricating glass, instead of only a tenth part, as the esti mates held out. The prospectus held forth that the sharehold ers would be guaranteed from liability to loss beyond the sum paid for the shares, by the Directors making it a rule that no expense should be incurred which there was not funds in hand to meet, notwithstanding which the Directors had incurred debts to the amount of 6,000/., and the creditors of th e Com pany were serving writs on the Shareholders separately or in masses, for amounts which would strip them of all their property. Sir P. LAURIE asked how the Company had already in curred a debt of 6,0001. ? A party replied, the sale of the shares produced only 3,000/., and the building of the works cost 6,0001. Sir J. Dur.z said they must pay the claims when made upon them •or defend the actions. Sir P. LA ?sins said no such thing as a II mit at ion of respon sibility was attainable by shareholders as to claims from the public. What the deed might say about limitation would be operative only amongst the shareholders is against each other. There was more villany in the concocting of some Companies, than in the committing of what were deemed serious crimes. The applicants said their object was to know how they could best prevent the Directors from going on, and incurring new liabilities, to the utter destruction of each shareholder. The Directors defied them. Sir P. L LURIE thought the best course was to call a public meetiro , of the shareholders, exp ose th e names an d addresses of thc r 'llirectors, sift their accounts and management, and show that the Company was a complete failure. This would stop further credit being given, and they must resist every action that might be brought thereafter. The applicants promised to consult upon the subject, and to furnish Sir Peter with a list of the Sareholders, Directors, and some ether matters. UNEMPLOYED MINISTERS IN NEW ENG LAND.—In Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massa chusetts, Rhode Island, and Connecticut, there are 120 ministers without a charge, 56 who are candidates for the holy office, and not fewer than 216 vacant , churches. These things must not continue to be so long. Fifty years ago Massachusetts was better supplied with minis ters than she is at the present day. Look out that the Unitarians, Universalists, and the Trascendentalisis, do not supply these vacant churches. THE WEATHER.—Since our last publication, the weather in this neighbourhood has been exceedingly vari able and unsettled. Early on Saturday morning, the town arid neighbourhood were visited by a violent thunder-storm, which appears to have extended over the greater tart of the north of England and Scotland, and southward as far as Shrewsbury. On Sunday afternoon we laa , l heavy sad con tinued rain, which also appears to have been very extensive ; and yesterday (Tuesday) morning, a most terrific thunder s:orm burst upon the town of Liverpool, where two of the churches, St. Michael's and St. Martin's, were seriously da maged by the lightning ; and the fall of rain is stated to have been exczedingly heavy. It would appear, however, from the London newspapers, that these vicissitudes of the weather have not been experienced in that. quarter, and though seine rain fell on Monday, the weather has been, on the whole, favourable' for maturing and gathering the crops; and on this account. the unfavourable weather experienced in the north has not produced any effect on the price of corn. It will be seen, from the report of the Liverpool Corn Mai ket of yesterday, that the great decline which took place in the price of grain on Friday last, was not at all tecoverr d yester day ; and that sales were made at a decline of 6d., and in some cases Bd. per bushel on the prices of the pre ceding Tuesday. At Leeds, however, though little business was done, holders were firm, and the previous high rates were generally maintained. Indeed, the great decline in Liverpool seems to be in great measure owing to the liberaim of a con siderable quantity of Canadian wheat and flour, which was previously under lock there. Yesterday, the weather in this neighbourhood was tolerably favourable for the harvest, being bright and dry, though rather cold ; but it was far from exhi biting the settled appearance which is so exceedingly desirable ^.t the present time.—Manchester Guardian. 3. to R. 35 38 31 38 41 43 t~~st.

U 9 ti 0 THE WIZARD OF THE NORTH.--We regret that the performances of this wonderful stranger are drawing to a close. We have had nothing like them in modern Cities. All his tricks, and he admits they are tricks, are done with such admirable address, that the most experienced spectator cannot discover the secret. He filled the Strand Theatre to sixty nights—he has filled the Adelphi for a hundred—and but for the house being engaged, he would fill it for a hundred mere. The " New Monthly Magazine, which for so many years past has continued the favourite periodical of all classes of readers, is about to receive the attraction of a new series of papers, from the pen of John Poole, Esq., the popular author o 4. Paul Pry." Few men are better qualified to paint the scenes of many-coloured life existing in our day than this amusing writer; and in the career of Phineas Quildy, which is the quaint title of Air. Poole's work, we are; led to expect such delineations of character aid society, in a narrative replete with the mist irrasictible pleasantry, as must give to this ma gazine increased claims to the attention of the admirers of genuine humour. As the mail was passing, on Sunday last, be tween Bordeaux and Toulouse, the horses took fright at some carts near Toulouse, ran away, dragged the car riage over a precipice,' killed the driver and the horses, and broke the courier's leg. The bags were sent on to Toulouse, but not till after considerable delay. . A New York Journal states that a boy hav ing got his father's snuff box, indulged so immoderately in the titillating dust that he sneezed himszlf to pieces. His remains having been gathered up, a Coroner's In quest was held over them, when the en li g h tene d J ury returned a verdict of " Snuffed out." A few days ago, a quatrel having arisen between several of the porters and commissionnaires of the Halle in the Rue dcs Lavandieres, the parties proceeded to blows, and car ried on the fight with such earnest that the inhabitants became alarmed, and, in order to separate the combatants, threw pails of water upon them from their windows. The pla n w as per fectly successful; and when some Municipal Guards and Ser geants de Ville came up, the combatants were so cooled that it was net thought necessary to arrest any of them ; but, says the Commerce, the Sergeants de Ville, resolving not to have been called out for nothing, drew up a report against the in habitants, who had put an end to the affray, for throwing water into the streets contrary to she municipal regulations. • 7 //7 (7 EC7-EjN?4°P-ING M. P. HAYNE money was seen to be needful, the people were satisfied that it was better to raise it by taxation than by a loan. The result of that experiment proved that the tax-besr ing resources of the country were exhausted, and that the revenue must, in future, be improved by adopting a liberal system of commercial policy, and lowering ci the duties on imports from foreign countries. That plan has been also proposed by Mr. Baring, and having been fairly and plainly brought forward, no scheme of a ban, or for imposing new taxes, will meet with public appro bation or support. All new taxes, votes of credit, issues of Exchequer Bills, and loans, are justly considered as the mere sweepings, the refuse of the office in DoWhing street ; the rejected offal of the Whig Chancellor of the Exchequer, which he spurn e d with contempt as a wretched system of patchwork and a gross delusion on the country. TIMES.—It was a matter of surprise at the time, that the assignees of Messrs. Whitmore, Wells, and Co., should have been refused by the Manchester commissoners act ing in the estate of Daintry, :Ryle ' and Co., to have a voice in the choice of as s i g ne es , although they ha 4 .S large a claim, upon the pretext that they could net , soress in under the estate of Daintry, Ryle, end Raven rota, which was in fact the estate under which the choice of assignees was being made, but only under that of / try and Ryle. The facts of the rejection of their voice in the choice has since been submitted to the Court of Review ; and the judgment given to day removes the assignees already appointed, orders a fresh meetirg to take place for new assignees under the joint ilat Daintry and Ryle, and also that the assignees or Whitmore, Wells, and CO., go in and peel, such debt as they can establish against and Ryle, and vote in the choice of as. Several of the merchants connected with x;11 ~^' 1' J' . - with China are beginning to speculate whether :•:: pointment of Captain Elliott to the Consulate el" will lead him at once to proceed to that repz&'••• whether he will first appear in England.

The fairest way of settlement would be to establish treaties with every and any country that would give and take. Now, however, we are so cramped and fettered by monopolist interests, that we have really nothing to offer worthy of their acceptance. HERALD.—Complaints are made among the foreign houses in the City of the Post-office mismanagement or remissness in the deliveries of letters brought by the steam and other packets from the United States. Take, for example, the Great Western, which reached Bristol on Friday morning, but whose letters were not distributed in town until the next (Saturday) morn ing, although New York papers were received here in various quarters by private parcel from Bristol early on Friday afternoon.. The prejudice -resulting to foreign merchants in this case was that, instead of being able to forward such letters as might be addressed to their friends abroad through their care by that night's foreign mail, they were obliged, in the case of correspond ence to the north of Europe at least, to keep it until the next foreign post day, or the Tuesday following. The inconvenience would be still greater in the event of busi ness operations on bills to be advised of to the Conti nent on receipt of transatlantic letters. The grievance clearly wants, as it is easily susceptible of. a remedy. SUN.—There were one or two tranasctions of some magnitude in the coarse of the day, on account, as was said, of the Bank of England and an Assurance Company, but in the present un settled state both of political and commercial affairs, the public evince but little disposition to do business. On the whore the market wore a flat appearance, and prices ranged , per cent. lower for Consols, which, for immediate transfer, were quo:v4 89A and to ; and for October, 89i to Exchequer hills were 15s. to 17s. premium, and India Bonds 3s. to ss. pre mium, being steady. Bank Stock was firm at 169 ; the New Three-and-a-Half per Cents. were not higher than 98A to 91-, and the Three per Cent. Annuities were marked 893 to 3. The more current value of money in the Stock Exchange was 4 per cent. There was again an entire absence of activity in the Foreign Market, and the quotations were not at all buoyant. Spiriui,,h Actives realized 193 for present transfer, and 193 to for next time. Portuguese Three per Cents. were at IBA ; Co lumbian Bonds realized 20A ; Mexican Deferred. 8? : Peru vian, 16; Cuba, 70; and Dutch Five per Cents. 1013 to I(r2. Shares were not much dealt in. Great Western Shares were at 12i to 14 ; the New, 4i to 3, and the Fifths. 4 to 3:4 Ir.- mium.

SIR—In The Evening Sun of Tuesday there is statement which is calculated to convey a-wrong it pl-er sion as to a matter of fact ; and knowing your desire to be accurate, .I beg to call your attention to the Staten in question : A paragraph in The Sun states that on Mon;lny IN!st " three men pleaded guilty to an assault on the rolice in the progress of a procession on Whit-Monday, he‘aded by Mr. O'Connell." A paragraph immediately following states " that an other was tried and convicted for the same offence," &e. This paragraph, which states that another " was con victed of the same o f fence," conveys that he was tried and convicted of "assaulting the police durinc , the r-e -gress of the procession headed by Mr. O'Connell." This is an error. The assault was not, either in time or in place, or in any other manner, connected with the rro cession in question. Mr. O'Connell took no other part in the said procession than joining it, as a member of tho Total Abstinence .Society. One teetotaller, accused of an assault in its progress, was on Monday last acquitted. At the former Sessions two others were convicted of an assault, by no means of an aggravated character ; and they were sentenced to nine and six m on fh s ' imprisonment, whilst two prostitutes, arraigned for the murder in Shoreditch, and convicted of Irian slaughter, _were only sent e nced to be imp r i sone d for six months.—Your obedient servant, Extract of a letter from Tangiers, dated the 28th ultimo, quoted by the Journal des Det;als : " The Emperor of Morocco, having armed his fleet of two brigs and two schooners, has applied to the Euro pean Consuls to grant passports for them, and they will sail as soon as furnished with these facilities. The pre tence of this expedition is to afford practice to the sailers who have lately been pressed and put under the intrnc tion of Admiral Brittel. If this was the sole object, ar• tillerymen and ammunition would not, as they have, beck put on board each ship ; but the probability is, that it i directed against such flags as have not been revognizec in Moroc co , th at i s, of such nations as have no repro. sentatives here, or are not allied to the Sultan by trea. ties.

A NAVAL Gnosr.—(From a private letter.) —A very singular circumstance occurred on boqd Victory on Friday night last. Two marines (Corpory Wiltshire and private Newton) on duty, during the raid watch on the main -deck, were passing the last gcarter of their watch (a quarter to twelve) by telling Ll( , s of ghosts, &c., and amidst others related that of a palicc man, who, but a few days since, was nearly frightonoe to death by the appearance of a marine on b(!itz- - the' Princess Charlotte (which was paid off about a fortni* ago), and which marine, it is asserted, was killed on bar.' her at St. Jean d'Acre. Newton, who was an aaentiv auditor, declared that he " never could nor would PRICE 5d SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. (FROlt THE MORNING TAPERS OF THIS DAY.) CHRONICLE.—Mr. Stuart Wortley knew what he was about in moving the amendment to the Address. He showed plainly, in the commencement of his speech, a distinct consciousness of the insult which he was fling ing in the face of his Sovereign and his country. Hav ing stated that her Majesty had put a certain question to the House, lie says that he will put another question ; and his question shall be answered first ; and on the an swer to his question shall depend the reply to her Majes ty's question. We do not exaggerate the insolence of the procedure. Our statement closely follows his own words. "It was not long since her Majesty, by the advice of her present Ministers, put a question to the country as to the policy which should be pursued in the public administration of affitirs ; " but "he would ask the House to consider, in the first instance, whether it was right that persons sitting in the position of her Majesty's Ministers should be trusted with the future conduct of public nffairs." And so, Queen Victoria, with her inquiries, must stand by, until King Wortley has made his demands and received his answer. To such lengths may persons who should know something of courtesy be carried by the drunkenness of success, the consciousness of numerical strength, and the rabid eager ness for power and place. All the arguments for the amendment resolve themselves substantially into this one :—" We, Tories, are the majority ; and we will dis cu;s nothing, do nothing, promise nothing, until we are admitted into office. Let the Sovereign wait, knock •ing at our doors, with her inquiries ; and let the people wait, while their trade goes and their loaves " dwindle ; not one inch shall the Great Council :of the nation advance towards the treatment of the most vital questions 'unless "theme-Treitstiry, be first, "and forthwith, opened to our cravings." A more marked ex hibition of rapacity and insolence has never been pre sented. But at present both Queen and peoole are un der the landlord's Parliament, and must bear this bully ihg. quietly. Let any one put side by side the language of the Royal Speech and that of the amended Address. " Her Majesty is desirous that you should consider the laws which regulate the trade in corn." What says the Tory majority to this most reasonable and opportune re quest? "That it is essential to the satisfactory results of our deliberations upon these and other matters of public concern, that her Majesty's Government should possess the confidence of this House and the country, and re spectfully to represent to her Majesty that that con fidence is not reposed in the present advisers of her Majesty." What in the world has the reply to do with the request ? Nothing whatever. It is totally beside the mark. It is a most flimsily veiled refusal to comply. It tells the Queen that a Tory majority has other, and (to it) much more interesting business in hand than attending to her wishes for the relief of her subjects from the landlords' taxation on their bread. They must have power first,. and then they will discuss. If her Majesty will put the staff into their hands, then they will reason about humanity, justice, and such mat ters. They will then be as courteous as now they are insolent. But their insolence must previously be gra tified to the full extent of its demands. This is very likely, indeed, to conciliate confidence in any quarter I POST.—As we cannot agree in the opinion expressed by that brilliant senator Mr. Brotherton that the people of this country like the Parliamentary debates in pro portion to their length, we think the House of Lords deserves much commendation for the speedy and decisive conclusion to which it came on Tuesday night. We do not admire, however, that, method of shortening discus sion which Lord Melbourne adopts. We think that so long as a man is Prime Minister he ought to have some thing weighty and important to say upon all great ques tions which come before the House of Parliament in which he happens to sit. We do not think that, even for the sake of saving time, flippancy and levity on the part of the first Minister of the Crown are proper sub stitutes for the information and the argument which the public have a right to expect from a chief Minister when matters of high importance are under discus sion. It is pretty well known that, not very long ago, Lord Melbourne said he entertained views about the Corn-laws extremely different from those which, for the last three months, have been acted upon by his Govern ment. Of this the Duke of Wellington took notice on Tuesday night, remarking, in his Grace's simple and forcible manner, " that fourteen months ago the Noble Viscount (Melbourne) made use of the very strongest language which he (the Duke of Wellington) had ever heard, in opposition to a motion merely for taking the Corn-laws into consideration As to the abolition of the Corn-laws, the Noble Viscount had de clared before God that he thought the man must be mad who could think of such a thing !" And what says the Noble Viscount now, in reply to the observations of the illustrious Duke ? Why, that he has changed his mind; a thing which, in his opinion, most-people do, and that he thinks Noble Lords are a great deal too much in the habit of taunting one another when they happen to change their . mind ! This might do very well for a drawing-room—it might be thought, perhaps, an agree able piece of candour if said to a pleasant party after dinner, but this kind of language from a chief Minister in the House of Lords is offensive. HERALI).—It might have !been anticipated that the amendment which was moved, on Tuesday night, on the address to the Crown—in the House of Lords by the Earl of Ripon ; in the House of Commons by the Hon. Mr. Stuart Wortley—would have supplied a text plain and intelligible enough for all those supporters of her Majesty's Ministers who might havo determined upon undertaking "the desperate emprise " of vindicating the conduct of the h arilest- dying of recorded Administrations, " while yet they lived " to power. There was nothing, to be sure, very equivocal in the - noble Earl's proposi tion, affirmed as it subsequently was by a majority of 72 Peers, (163 to 96) and now pending, in the same terms, before the Commons :—" That it is essential to the satisfactory results of our deliberations upon these and other matters of public concern that her Majesty's Government should possess the confidence of this House and of the country, and respectfully to represent to her Majesty that that confidence is not reposed in her pre sent advisers." We have been much amused, however, to observe—on looking back to the debate—the very elaborate care with which the Whig-Radical speakers severally shunned the home straightforward ques tions raised by that amendment, on the fact of the " no-confidence" reposed by the Parliament and the people in the Government. Avowed and notorious as was the determination to moot it, Earl Spencer never seemed to imagine that such a vi sitaton as an amendment in such terms was possible. He never, throughout his dreary argument, came nearer to the main point than Westminster is to Althorp itself. As for Lord Melbourne—who might hare heard, surely, some little whisper of such a visitation being contemplated and at hand, lie absolutely declared " that the amendment came upon him like a thunder-clap." With great de ference, we can assure the Noble Viscount that the start ling nature of that declaration was much more calculated to electrify all who heard it I TIMES.—When incorrigible reprobates have once pro ceeded beyond certain limits, the mere consciousness that their character is irreparably ruined often renders them indifferent to appearances, and hurries them into every excess. It is precisely thus with the Whigs. Having long transgressed the ordinary bounds of decency in their in numerable jobbinos and malversations, they hare for some years sunk into irretrievable disrepute ; and ever since the termination of their official career appeared to be near at hand, they seemed to have dedicated its con cluding days to a breathless gallop of corruption. Venal as they have always been, mid chiefly engrossed with a petty pedlarship on behalf of their family and party con nexions, they have managed, within the last week or two, to rush into a greater number of flagitious trans actions than had yet disgraced any similar period of their history. What with their waste of public money, their nefarious bestowal of peerages, their open abettor ship of Repealers, their encouragement of illegal Whi g votes at the late elections, as well as their wholasale promotion of hungry relatives and hack partisans —we must really say that in the prospect of being expelled from office they have wound up matters with a romantic licence which reminds us of the preferments bestowed by Sir Walter Scott upon the large family of Osbaldes tons, whom, with two or, three dashes of his pen, he in discriminately elevates to the rank of di sem b o died spirits, and dispatches, them on sundry unknown mis sions, with the usual allOwances and outfit. MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS. FROM THE HORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY CHRONICLE.—We stated reasons yesterday which Against a rise in - prices, operated forcibly . the debates in both Houses of Parliament have certainly not tended to give confidence to speculators, or to induce and since then men of capital or inerchrnts to make i nvestments. If Sir Robert Peel intends to conceal his poliwintil the country will be in a s t a t e o f most alarming pri v ation and discontent throughout the intervening period. Durin g the interval of suspilse however, there are some thin g s which h e will find hin;self compelled to do. He must raise money ; and the question is, how can the new Government obtain it ? The deficiency bills are all gone—the saving bank money is not to be touched. The city monopolists, scone of whom are very wise . in their ow n co n ce it, and" all of who m are constantly barn fill of nothings, pretend to know the wholearrange ments: They say, " wait until you see. Sir`Robert Peel has got the whole money There arranged ; nil cut and dry, and no mistake. l3 a great secret ;" but what it is, of course, they are not at liberty to communicate." We d . o believe that. there is a plan for ra i s ing the wind in course of concoction. L et t h e Bank Directors beware of being concerned in any under- They . pawned a portion of their " dead to the Bank of . France . for a loan of 9 .000,000 L I l l v a e n ig d h orra tions. They may soon . re . quire similar assistance, and had better keep their securities as a nest egg for a rainy day. If t h e y give them back to Peel on loan, to enable him to carry on the Government , they ma y repent i t w h en too l a te. It i s certainly rumoured that there is a negotiation on foot between Peel and th e B an k P ar l our . S uc h a thing is spoken of, and i s no t i mpro b a bl e . W e s h a ll wait the development of th e " secret" with composure. Mr, Baring . stood high in public estimation, preciselyon account of his openness of ch a racter and clear prac tical style of dealing with the finances. His budgets were always simple, and arranged with such lucidness that the generality of th e t ax -p a yers could foll ow an d appreciate them. His plan of increasing the per tentage on the customs and assessed taxes was well received in the City, mainly on account of its plainness and sim plicity. There was "no juggling" about it, and as ievu in ghosts, and that even if his father had said he. ever saw one, he should set him down as a liar sootier had he spoken than, turning to wvll7. Cie [leek toward:, the beef-hateh, he was all at once tz by beholding tin onivcr distance from him, ai:d o, it appeared to him, suppoyl( by two old sailors, dressed in the fashion of wars—to wit, a_ long pig -tail, with all the et cetcra app.. - 7 taming to an old tar's costume, and with what iliz:J; looked to be hatchets with them. This so alami,4l that turning to his comrade, Corporal NewtOn, claimed, ': .

The men are both very stcraly credible, and declare most positively that they did what they related, and they certainly do seem imnrz. fr , with the belief that it was so. BRUGES.—There was an enormous fall in 11, prices of corn in the market of Bruges on Saturltv last Wheat fell 16 per cent. under Saturday's prices. Rye: Oat. and Barley fell in proportion. The market was abrridant supplied. On Saturday last the price of Wheat above schillings—it is now below 17. 1f• :5* t'llt hav‘
