The Work which is now presented to the public is the result of very extended experience in a class of diseases and affec tions, which for some unaccountable reason have been either altogether overlooked, or treated with apathy, and almost in difference, by the et dinary practitioner. To enter into the details of these affections, to point out their causes, and to mark the terrific consequences, social, moral, and physical, which are sure to follow from indulgence, in certain habits, would be entirely out of place in an advertisement. We have no hesitation, however, in saying that there is no member of society, by whom the book will not be found interesting, whe ther we consider such person to hold the relation of a PA RENT, a PRECEPTOR. or a CLERGYMAN. _ .

ANNUAL DIVISION OF PROFITS. UNIVERSAL LIFE ASSURANCE SO CIETY, I, King William-street, London. - Established 1834. Empowered by Act of Parliament. One-fifth of the ascertained profits of the five preceding years is divided between the policy-holders and shareholders ; three-fourths to the former, and one-fourth to the latter. The remaining four-fifths are set apart to enter into the average of the succeeding years, and thus to provide against unforeseen contingencies. The first division of Profits took place on the 13th of May, 1840, when a reduction of 60 per cent. was declared on the annual premiums of all those policies entitled to participation. Policies effected before the Second Wednesday in May will entitle the holders to participate in the profits twelve months earlier than those effected at a subsequent period.

WILKINSON'S ANTI- CORROSION PAINT. __ REMOVED from 63, Upper Thames-street, to 54, WATLING-STREET, near Queen-street, Cheapside. J. R. WILKINSON particularly recommends his Paint to the Nobility, Gentry, and the Public, wbo wish to paint their houses of Roman cement, ;thee°, or brick walls, as a preven tive to damp or sea spra y in exposed situations; it will not Mister or peel off as common paint. On tiling, to represent slating, iron hurdles, roofs, conservatories, hot-houses, fences, farm, or any out-buildings, it will last four times as long as lommon paint. It is so simple in its use, that any labourer can lay it on. To ship-owners for their decks, bottoms of ves sels, &c., it will be shown, as well as to the public, to be supe rior to any paint in use, by testimonials of its lasting fourteen years on wood and houses, twenty years on iron (see the South wark-bridge). The public are particularly guarded in giving their orders for Wilkinson's Anti-Corrosion Paint, that no ether colour may be imposed upon thorn for his. A liberal allowance to the trade. FORGERY IN HOLLAND.--A letter from the Hague, of the 6th instant, states :—" A ease of forgery, recently discovered here, has produced a great sensation. A manufacturer of Leyden o who had fallen into difficulties some time before the accession of the present King, and had obtained his Majesty's confidence while Prince of Orange, had received various sums of money from bim ; and his Royal benefactor hail gone so far as to put his name to some bills, which the manufacturer readily got cashed. Taking advantage of this, he forged the Prince's name on several other bills, circulated them, and obtained 100,000 florins from one capitalist alone at Amstordarn. The man was arrested not long ago at Rotterdam, and is to be tried for the offence. He has endeavoured to screen himself by threatening to disclose some secrets concerning the present King, of which he boasts that he is in posses sion. His Majesty is determined that justice shall pursue its course with this indis idual." SKELETON OF JONATHAN WILD.--Mr.Fow ler, surgeon, of Sheet -street, Windsor, has now in his pos session the undoubted skeleton of this notorious thief and celebrated thief-taker. The skeleton, which is in an oaken case, where there is no doubt it has been for upwards of a century, is five feet six inches and a half high ; and it is supposed by several medical men and anatomists who had seen it, that Wild, during his lifetime, must have been five feat eight to nine inches in height. Upon the coffin_ plate, composed of sheet-iron, which is now nailed to the oaken me, there is the following inscription, clearly legible, punched in, in the usual manner adopted then and since by the undertakers :—" Mr. Jonathan Wild, died May 24, 1725, in ye 42d year of his age." It may bo observed that Wild wa4 executed at Ty_ burn on this day. With the trifling exception of the loss of a portion of the forefinger of . 0 e right ham!, the left thumb, and a few teeth (which have fallen out, there are three in the heed now, quite sound) the skeleton is in every respect perfect. The skeleton can be traced back to the possession of a surgeon named Brand, who, at the period of the execution of Wild, was:a particular friend of the then ordinary of Newgate. A medical practitioner at Windsor, Dr. Thomas, who died about 35 years ago, upwards of 74 years of age, finished his early studies under this Mr. Brand, who gave him the skeleton and oaken case, with the coffin plate in the preci , e state they are now in. When Dr. Thomas die], Mr. Rendall, a rela tive, came into possession both of his practice and the skeleton ; and upon Mr. Rendall retiring from business some sears ago, he was succeeded by Mr. Fowler, the present possessor of the skeleton of this notorious cha racter. The Queen has been pleased to order 2001. to be given to the poor of the parish cf West Pennard, where the monster cheese was made. PROTESTANTISM and PUSEYISM. TO THE EDITOR Or THE SUN. Six,—The controversy between Romanists and Church of Englandists still continuing to be carried on by both of them, allow me to inquire, through the medium of your widely circulated Journal, whether Dr. W. F. Hook, of Leeds in Yorkshire, has answered the letters of VERAX? This formidable antagonist of the Reverend Doctor of the North, is a Roman Catholic layman, well known to the learned for his profound researches into eccle siastical history. That he has been successful in what is technically called "flooring" his Protestant opponent, may be presumed from the studied silence of the latter. VERA x took to himself the unenviable task of cudgelling the Doctor, in consequence of an ill-judged sermon de livered by him at Manchester, on the " Novelties of Romanism;" a sermon opposed not merely to the 'Church of Rome, but also to those members of his own Church who have been upholding many points of genuine Romanism. Bating one doctrine of human ma nufacture—for it is not found in the Neff Testament— viz., the Royal supremacy, there seems to be no great difference betu een VERAX anti the Puseyites. The lat ter have been acting as pioneers to the Church of Rome ; and if Providence has raised them up (un knowingly to themselvs), as his instruments for weak - ening the Church of England by internal schism, we may naturally look to some changes in our Church affairs as being very near at hand. That a house which is divided against itself cannot stand. we read in a book which is appealed to not less by VERAX than by Dr. Hooke. Both cite that book as the supreme autho rity by which all religious disputes must be decided ; but as the Romanist appears to have studied it with the greater degree of attention of the two, we must not wonder at any victory which he may obtain over the Protestant, although defended by the high-sounding appellation of " Chaplain in Ordinary to her Majesty the Queen." 1 have the honour to subscribe myself, Sir, your most obedient servant, A PROTESTANT, BUT NO HALF ROMANIST. TO INNKEEPERS AND POST- MASTERS. (FROM A CORRESPONDENT.) Government last year, to relieve the posting business, which lightly taxed railroads and untaxed steam-vessels had nearly crushed, reduced the assessed taxes on car riages let to hire to 3/. per annum, whether used with one or two horses ; but many postmasters have within these few days received notice that this was only in tended on those solely let by the mile, and on which the duty of three halfpence per mile per horse was paid, and that carriages on which the duty is dif ftrently paid must be charged as private carriages, which are subject to a progressive duty as follows : one, 61. ; two, 13/. ; three, 211. ; four, 30/. ; five, 391. 7s. 6d. ; six, 49/. 4s. ; seven, .59/. 10s., and so on. The unfortunate postmaster is therefore placed in a worse situation than ever ; there is no one but would always let by the mile if he could ; but the trade is in such a depressed state, that postmasters cannot obtain the amount required, particularly when the parties re turn in the carriage ; they are therefore obliged to let by the job or day, and pay one-fifth of the amount re ceived to the Government ; for distances of five miles out and five back carriages are commonly let with two horses for 108., and a fifth, i. e. 2s. paid to the Excise ; but they claim 3s. 6d., and, with the assistance of the assessed taxes, are likely to get the whole of the 10a. The same in letting for the day ; they seldom obtain as much as 6d. per mile per horse ; and if the Ex ciseman is to take three halfpence per mile, the trade must b 3 entirely destroyed : the oppres site tax laid on it has nearly ruined all en gaged in it ; and only wanted this finishing stroke ; and this, when gentlemen who can keep their own carriages are liable to no mileage ; they can drive where they please, lend to whom they please, and pay nothing, but a person who cannot afford to keep a carriage, and only uses one, from force of circumstances, as illness, busi ness, or, perhaps, once a year, to see his friends, is taxed three halfpence for every mile the horse be has hired goes out and home, and if he requires a horse for a day, he is taxed 2s. Gd. besides the regular as sessed taxes, or ss. for two horses, and if he agree for the job, the Postmaster says—l must have 10s., and 2s. Gd. the duty, makes 12s. Gd. he has to pay ; thus are the middling classes taxed while the rich lawmakers escrine Hounslow, April 12. TOTAL REPEAL OF THE CORN LAWS. (From the Liverpool Times of Tuesday.) A public meeting of the inhabitants of Liverpool was held yesterday, at noon, in Clayton -square, to consider the propriety of petitioning the Legislature for a total repeal of the Corn-laws. There was a considerable body of gentlemen belonging to the Liberal party in this town present, including Sir Joshua Walmsley (who acted as chairman), Mr. Thomas Thornely, M.P., Mr. Charles Holland, Mr. R. V. Yates, Colonel Williams, Mr. W. Rathbone, Mr. J. Rosson, Mr. Alderman Sheil, Mr. James Mulleneux, &c. Sir J. WAL MSLEY took the chair. He said this public meeting of the inhabitants of Liverpool had been convened for the purpose of considering the propriety of petitioning the Legislatnre for a total repeal of the Corn-laws. Fle trusted that the time was not far dis tant when we might reasonably look for a more just and equal mode of taxation. The evidence which had been recently adduced before a Committee of the House of Commons would, he thought, tend greatly to facilitate that desirable object. That evidence was of a mast important character ; and if not altogether conclu• sive on the necessity of a thorough reform in our tariff, it had at least made out a strong case for deep and serious inquiry. For his own part he had been long satisfied that unless the restrictions and prohibitions which bore so hard on the middle and productive classes of the country were removed, they would not only en danger the commerce and manufactures of the country, but the very safety of the empire. We must ever re member that monopoly and exclusion were mere apolo gies for robbing one portion of the community for the supposed benefit of the other; and that no article was worth protecting at home which, from climate or other circumstances, could be imported cheaper from abroad. England possessed great aad overwhelming advantages over most other countries ; but neither the superiority of her coal and her mineral productions, nor the skill, capital, or enterprise of her people could long avail against the present ruinous system of restrictions, and the consequent retaliation. We should never lose sight of this fact, that it was to our commerce and manufac tures we owed our present position in the scale of nations, and that if we cease to be an exporting country of mann iwtores, we should sink as rapidly as we have risen. It must be borne in mind that our present exports amounted to between forty and fifty millions per annum ; that three-fourths of the cotton imported into this coun try was exported again in the shape of twist and cotton goods. For what were we hazarding this great branch of national wealth ? For what were we refusing to take the grain of the United States, the coffee and sugar of the Brazils, and the timber of the north of Europe ? For what were we restricting the labour and enhancins the price of the food for the people ? It was in orde that the rent-roll of a comparatively small number o lenderds, and the revenue of a few colonial monopolists, might be increased. It was urged that we should sup port our colonies ; but we might support them at too great a cost, and at the sacrifice of the mother country. Give them free trade, and they would support them selves. Some were afraid that, by an alteration in our tariff, and in the Corn-laws, we might endanger the revenues of the country. Perhaps there was no set of men in the world more tenacious of national faith and honour than Englishmen, and especially British merchants. Now they were perfectly satisfied upon this subject, and had openly expressed their sentiments again and again, that by the removal of restrictions and prohibitions, commerce would be increased, and with it the revenue of the country. That meeting, however, had higher and more sacred objects—they thought that the people should enjoy some portion of those luxuries and of those comforts which they so richly produced. This was their object in the repeal of the Corn-laws ; and they could fairly call upon all classes of the community—upon the rich and the poor, who were the most particularly interested—upon the working man, and upon those whom they had a right to regard as the best men in the community—to assist them in this labour of love, in this great work of jus tice to themselves and their fellow-men. He trusted they should have every man's helping hand, that no man might be said to be supporting the Corn-laws, lest haply he might be sinning and fighting against Him to whom he lifted up his prayer—" Give us this day our daily bread." Col. WILLIAMS moved the first resolution in an ad dress of considerable length. The gallant Colonel de scribed the circumstances under which the Corn-law passed in 1814-13, observing that the people strongly remonstrated, but in vain, the plot which was then hatched in the House of Commons against them to raise the price of bread, in order to enable the land lords to pay their taxes. That was the principle upon which the " illustrious Duke " afterwards "improved " the measure, and it would continue to be the principle so long as the people were silly enough to send onl:• lords and lawyers into the Commons' House to further their interests.—(Cheers.) Mr. Was. RATHBONE seconded the resolution. He said that the meeting had assembled upon ono of the most important subjects on which they could meet. On every ground he was an advocate for the prompt and total repeal of the Corn-laws, believing that those laws were at once in contradiction to the decrees of the Almighty, and to the interests of the people of every class. He was opposed to those laws because they gene rated in the people a feeling of dissatis!action, a feeling of injustice, which was at once subversive of religion, at once subversive of morality, at once subversive of any thing like loyalty, and subversive of principle of every kind. He must, however remember that it was not one abuse only under which we laboured, but that they were like the bundle of sticks of the old man of the fable. He attempted to break them when they were all bound together, and he could not ; but if they broke them one by one, the bundle would become smaller, and at last it would be broken altogether. Now, why was it that the children of light did not act thus for their own interests as well as the children of dark uess ? Why was it that they did not follow the right course when they had a right end in view ? Yet they did not do it, he was sorry to say—they did not often look after their own interests, and they often threw those from them who were really their friends. Look at ten years ago, when the timber duties were proposed to be altered, which was one of our great abuses ! The whole country was in arms, and the administration was very nearly put out,because the people rose to prevent the tim ber duties being altered and improved. If, 10 years ago, the people had petitioned for a repeal of the timber duties, he believed we should at this moment have been very much nearer the repeal of the Corn-laws—nay, in his conscience he believed that those Corn-laws would not have existed at this moment if that administration had been supported in the repeal of those timber duties. Next to the Corn-laws the timber duties were the most important. They had now some hope. The revenue was beginning to fall off ; these terrible restrictions upon commerce had destroyed any profit to capital, and they were grinding the poor man down to the dust, so that as an Irishman had once said from that place—" You will begin to have a nation of ventriloquists—that speak from their bellies."—(Cheers and laughter.) But it was wonderful, that curtailed as she had been by laws laid down for what was celled pro tection, but which were in effect restrictive of every thing that was good, that England had maintained her place as she had ; but she could not maintain it much longer if she went on as she was doing. We should have manufacturers in Germany and Switzerland to contend with, and when it was too late we might re pent. Let the people petition for free corn to our colo nies; let them support the present Government in the plan they were taking to let our colonies have cheap bread ; then let the people turn round upon them and say, " Why arc you worse than the heathen ? Will you neglect your own ? Will you give to the West Indies , cheap bread and deny it to our suffering manufacturers at home ?" Did not the meeting feel—and if they did feel they would be ready to petition for the removal of every thing that was an abuse—did they not know, that the bundle of sticks, that was, the bundle of abuses, at every twig that was broken became less? If they felt this, they would come forward in a different way from that in which they hitherto have done ; they would feel that if they wished for success in any pursuit they must give time and exertion to it themselves ; that they must not be like the poor unfortunate carter who, when his cart was fast in the rut, lay down in the ditch, and began to pray to Jupiter. Jupiter said to him, " You lazy lout, put your shoulder to the wheel, and then I will listen to your prayers." In like manner they must put their shoulder to the wheel if they wished the Corn-laws to be repealed.—(Cheers.) The resolution was then put and carried. Mr. CHARLES HOLLAND, in moving the next reso lution, said they were again met to protest against the iniquitous Corn-laws, against the most inhuman and un• righteous laws ever enacted by an y sect or c l ass o f men, t o attempt for their own selfish purposes, and to im pose a badge of slavery, misery, and degradation upon their fellow-men. Was that meeting prepared to sub mit to that? If they were, how long were they going to submit ? Was it not an undisputed fact, that the mi sery and destitution of the lowest industrious classes, the losses which the manufacturers were sustaining, the diminution of our manufacturing profits. and the small returns which the capitalists were now receiving, we re attributabl e ma i n ly t o th ese l aws ? They no lon ger ven tured to meet us in the field of argument; but they trusted, with too much reason he feared, to th e apathy which ho was sorry to say distinguished th e in dustrious classes, who seemed to think it was not a question which concerned them. Alas! too soon would they feel it. Suppose two bad seasons were to visit this country, where then would he the industri ous lower orders ; where would they seek for bread, when the foreigner was prohibited from growing food for them ? He was sorry to say that their oppo nents were not only trusting to that apathy, but they had bribed the leaders of a certain portion of the in dustrious classes—the leaders of the Chartists, to try to prevent the repeal of these laws.—(Cries of " No.") There were many among us who joined in the senti ments of the Chartists, who thought to obtain political rights ; but it was a sad mistake on their part to sup pose they would sooner obtain those rlitical rights with an empty belly than a full one.—(Hear, hear.) Were they more likely to fight the battle for political privi leges with cheap bread or not? But hitherto he was sorry to say the landlords had been able to obtain the co-operation of some of the leaders of that party. He trusted, however, that their next appeal would receive a million and a half of signatures. Mr. Holland con cluded by calling upon the meeting to come forward with a demonstration of moral, not physical force against the Corn-laws, like that which carried the Ro form Bill. Mr. DUFFIE seconded it, and said, that if any thing was pleasing to him in the character of that meeting, it was the fact that there were united in it the middle and working classes, the two greatest and most influen tial classes in the community. They had, he was glad to say, combined their strength together for the express purpose of removing the odious Corn-laws from our Statute-book. They had been told it was for the inte rest of the working classes to support the Corn-laws. because dear bread made high wages ; but every work ing man knew as well as he did, from sad experience, that this was not true. Mr. Duffle then proceeded to argue on this position, and to show the absurdity ols protective duties. The decrees of Milan and Berlin, he observed, rendered it necessary for us to destroy Napoleon in order to open continental Europe to our commerce ; but when that had been accomplished, the landed aristocracy re-enactad those decrees by the in famous Corn-laws. He called on the meeting, with re ference to the Corn-laws, to assert the great principle, that whatever was morally wrong could not be politi cally, right, and to hold that man disgraced who re fused to support the leaders who were contending for this object. Mr. T. THORNELY, M.P., said before he read the resolution which the Committee had placed in his hands, he begged to say how great a gratification it was to him to meet so large an assemblage of his fellow-townsmen, met to assert, in the face of the public, their deter mination to procure by fair, just, and constitutional means, the repeal of those Corn-laws which had en tailed so much misery upon the labouring classes, and which from year to year were fettering so much of the industry and the commerce of the country. They were probably not all aware of the operation of the present Corn-laws. The duty upon corn was a fluctuating duty, which was fixed every week : it might be a shilling a quarter, or it Eight be much higher. Now, the opera tion of the Corn-laws was this, that in proportion as the price of corn falls the duty rises, and it was only when corn was of so high a price as to threaten famine, that it was admitted at a nominal duty. This arrange ment of the duties might appear a very insidious one, but he thought it a very barefaced one, because it had this effect—always to prevent the people from having corn as cheap as they could buy it from foreign countries, if the law did not prevent them. Did they know what the duty upon the importation of wheat was at this very day ? It was 235. Bd. a quarter, or nearly 3s. a bushel. That was a prohibitory duty : it brought in no revenue, and prevented the people from having corn at that price. He was happy that the intention of the House of Com mons, and he believed of the Ministry too, was now being directed to the state of the tariff of this country ; by the tariff he meant the duties upon the importa tion of goods. It was singular enough that we, who were so great a commercial and manufacturing people, had really the most anti commercial tariff in the world ! Whenever the goods of any foreign country were cheap and good, our tariff prevented their importation ; but whenever they were dear and bad, then we were compelled to consume them. He was a very old free trader. He had long experience as a commercial man, and, from his boyhood to the present time, he never had but one opinion, that all duties upon imports should be for the sake of revenue, and not for protection— that that meeting, and all the merchants and manufac• turcrs in the country should freely exchange with every foreign market the produce of their industry—that it should he for them to seek out in every foreign market the cheapest and best articles those countries produced, and that they were entitled to enjoy the cheapness and the abundauee of those commodities. If they would walk round the docks, they would see a great number of vessels advertised to take emigrants from the la bouring portion of the population, to labour in the United States and in Canada. Would these la bourers go to the United States and to Canada if wages were lower than they were in this country ? No, indeed, they would not. They were going there to get better wages, or they had much better stay at home. But all those vessels which took out emigrants to Canada were going to bring back flour from Canada to this country ; end the meeting might be sure that flour was brought from Canada, because it would bring a greater price in this market. Therefore, these very voyages across the Atlantic and back again, in which labourers were going from this country to get better wages than they could at home—those same vessels bringing back cheap flour to a better market showed that all the representations about the cheapness o corn bringing down wages was a complete delusion. Upon this question of free trade hung, in his opinion, a great deal more than the mere cheapness or dear ness of prices. The social condition of the people, the independence of the labouring classes, their desire to educate their children, their desire to keep out of the workhouse, were all included in the great question of free trade. An annual grant was made by the House of Commons of 30,0001. for educating the people ; it was a mere trifle and an insignificant sum ; they were now legislating upon the Poor-law Amend ment Bill, and night after night, when he had sat in that House, it often occurred to him if they adopted the principle of free trade in corn, and in every other article, the people, the honest labouring classes of this country, would be able to sustain themselves without parish relief. Aye, and they would educate their chil dren too, without grants from the House ofCommons. In fact, it was lamentable that the time of Parliament should be taken up in reconciling what was abso lutely irreconclleable. They were adopting measurk s about the administration of the Poor-law ; they were educating the people ; but the first thing they did was was to tie the hands of the people from main taining themselves. However, he was not without hope ; on the contrary, ho never felt more strongly than he did that he was right on the principle of free trade, whether with regard to corn or anything else ; and he assured them, that if the people of this country would do their duty to them Selves, that he thought in the present session something would be done, some great step taken towards the improvement of our great restrictive code. It was his happiness, in Parliament, to be associated with Mr. Villiers, who had taken the lead, and was prepared to do so this session, in endeavouring to procure the repeal of the Corn-laws. He had, he assured them, great confidence that if the people out of doors would exert themselves by petition ing—for the cause was so good that it was absolutely unanswerable—great good must arise to them speedily. Mr. JONES, an operative, seconded the resolution, and it was carried. Mr. JOHN itossort, in moving the next resolution, quoted a passage from Dr. Verity's wo r k, p u bli s h ed lest year, to prove that nothing but a diminution of the supply of food could prevent this cou n t ry f rom at prosperity which no nati on , anc i ent or ta in m in o g de a rn d , e had ever of cver arrived at. He concluded by de claring that free trade could alone save the empire, and make her continue what she had hitherto bees, the envy of surrounding nations, and the admiration of the world. Mr. JAMES Al lILLENEUX seconded the resolution, and said, that at all times and in all places he was, and should he, ready to raise his voice against the Corn laws ; for he considered them the most selfish and wicked monopoly ever inflicted upon a country. The resolution was then carried. Mr. It. V. YATES read a draft of the petition, and moved its adoption. Mr. ANNTEER Seconded the motion, and it was carried. - A vote of thanks was presented to Sir Joshua Walmsley, for his conduct in the chair, and the pro ceedings terminated. NEW POOR LAW. The Essex Herald has the following reply of Lord Western to an application made to him by some inha bitants of Rayleigh, that he would present a petition to the House of Lords against the Poor-law Amend ment Act. " I have received your letter of yesterday's date, desiring me to present a petition to the House of Lords, signed by the inhabitants of Ra)leigh, th e purport of which is to express an opinion strongly condemnatory of the existing Poo r-law, w hich is de scribed as cruel and oppressi ve to the poor , also pray ing that the Amendment B ill ma y not pass into a law. I am sorry to say I ca nnot faithf ully perform this duty you require of me, for my opinions are by no weans in accord with the petitioners' ; so far from it, I consider the Poor-law to be a most salutary measure called for by urgent necessity, to rescue the honest la bourers from the state of dependence and moral degra of spirit to which th e m i sera b le work i ng of t h e dation THE PRESIDENT STEAMER. We are sorry to say that it is not in our power to communicate any favourable information with regard to this long and anxiously expected vessel. It is now thirty-three days since she left New York, and from that time to the present nothing has been heard of her. The rumour of a large steamer seen off Falmouth, and conjectured to bo the President, brought by way of London, and another rumour of a similar vessel seen off Cork, on which the Dublin papers founded an anticipation of the arrival of the missing vessel, have both preyed to be unfounded, and we are sorry to say that a report which was cur rent in Liverpool yesterday, to the effect that Mrs. Roberts, the wife of the captain of the President, bad received a letter from her husband, announcing his safe arrival at Madeira is equally so. For about an hour this report was confidently believed, and even announced at the Underwriters' Rooms, but an imme diate inquiry instituted by the Superintendent of that establishment, proved it to be entirely a mistake, ori ginating, we beliese, in the stupidity of a servant. In the meanwhile, the conjectures as to the fate of the President are innumerable. Some suppose that she has put back to New York ; others, that she has pro ceeded to Bermuda, or the Western Isles ; and others fear that she is lost. All this is mere conjecture. It is by no means improbable that the Caledonia—the Halifax packet of the 3d, and which would sail from Boston on the Ist instant—will bring some information respecting her. The Caledonia will be here either to morrow or on Thursday.—Liverpool Times. MISSION TO THE BRAZILS. It is considered by parties connected with Brazil as not singular only, but extremely disrespectful to the young Government of that rising empire, that at this present mo ment there is no British Minister of suitable rank at the court of Rio to represent with becoming dignity the friendly alliance and interests of this country, the oldest friend in dubitably of Brazil. This failure in the usual mark of courtesy and attention between Powers united by a mutually good understanding and the most amicable ties is the more remarkable too at the present moment, and can hardly fail to be felt, if not resented, as an unmerited slight, seeing that the coronation of the young Emperor stands fixed for next month, an occasion which, of course, it is customary to honour by special missions of personages of high rank, independent of the regular accredited lega tion, to convey the felicitations and compliments of one Sovereign to another. It has indeed been reported for some time past that Mr. Hamilton Hamilton was appointed to proceed to Rio as Envoy Extraordinary and -Minister Plenipotentiary, but nothing more is heard of the matter, or et any preparations for his'departure, although it would seem that his presence there was urgent. But without meaning to suggest any objection to that gentleman's fit ness for the discharge of the important station for which he has been named, by report at least, it may be observed that it might be of great advantage, and would redound much to the honour of this country in the conception of the Brazilians, who are naturally a proud and susceptible people, if a person of higher standing than Mr. Hamilton, one of the principal nobles of the land in fine, were deputed to assist in the pomp and ceremonial of the coronation, and on an event of such transcendent interest in Brazil to conci liatei the praiseworthy pride as well as the vanity of the people and they have perhaps more th an a d ue s h are o f both, as with young nations s not uncommon, by a display of the vicarial magnificence of a special representative of the most splendid court and chivalry of the old world. It is not forgotten how grateful an influence the special em bassy of the Duke of Northumberland exercised on a like occasion its France, and how pleasing an impression his sumptuous hospitalities, so well remembered still in that country, left behind. It should not be forgotten, taking the subject in the sense of material i n t erests a l one , t h at Brazil is the largest foreign consumer of B r i t i s h manufac tures and products, in proportion to population, and there fore on that ground alone well entiiled to every mark of respect out w h which h can question.b es h o wn The her, leaving political conside rations relations of Brazil with Rus sia, whether commercial cr political, would seem of small account, and yet the astute Cabinet o f S t .

Lomonosoff, the Russian Charge d'Affaires at Rio, not long out there, has, it is understood, recently had his cre d en ti a l s sen t out to him from the Emperor as Envoy Extraordinary and Mi nister Plenipotentiary, not only to assist at the coronation but permanently to reside thew in that character, being, as said, the first time that a Russian diplomatist of such high rank has ever been accredited to Brazil. And at the same time the grand cross of the highest Russian order was forwarded as a compliment to the young Emperor of Bra z —Morning Herald.

It was enacted by the conjoint wisdom of our ablest statesmen, whose sole object, I am con fident, was the welfare of the people, and whose public and private characters fully warrant that belief. The best security against oppression is the publicity that at.ends all our proceedings under the pre sent law, which did not exist under, the old. That some cases of hardship may occur, no man can doubt ; where is the law that can provide against all the ills that human nature is liable to, from unavoidable accident, from idleness, and vice ? There is not in the known world a country in which such efforts are made, such laws in force to obviate all the misfortunes and calamities of life. The present law lam determined zealously to support, and I concur in most if not all the amendments of the Bill now under consideration.

REMONSTRANCE OF THE ELECTORS OF CEPHALONIA. TO THE RIGHT HON, LORD J. RUSSELL, HER BRITANNIC MAJESTY'S SECRETARY OF STATE FOR THE COLO- NIAL DEPARTMENT. • The most valuable privilege of the lonian citizen, comeyed to him by that Constitution to which the So vereign Protector affixed his sanction, has been violated, and the undersigned electors have been grossly insulted by the Commission appointed to preside over the elec toral body of Cephalonia, consisting of the Most Ex cellent Signore Count Camillo dalla Decima, Regent ; Signore Spiridiono Anino Cavalierato, his Secretary ; and Signore Dr. Anastasio Fipaldo Xidian, Advocate Fiscal. Ought they to submit their grievances to the Senate, or must they wait unt:l the meeting of the Legislative Assembly, and present their remonstrance to it ? Exist ing circumstances do not permit this delay ; availing themselves, therefore, of the right granted by article 8, section 7, chripter 7, of the Constitutional Charter, they address you, my Lord, supplicating your Lordship to lay this representation at the feet of her august Ma jesty the Queen, who, magnanimous as she is, will not disdain to listen to the complaints of respectable Cfzens, whose most sacred constitutional rights have been iufringed. No election of r prasentatives ought to have taken place, since the legal period had not expired, nor had the death of any member made an opening for a sub stitution ; nevertheless, an occasion for a new election was to be cre itcd. Tice Count Demetrio della Deci ma, relieved from his seat as member of the Supreme Council of Justice, found little difficulty in bringing about the resignation of the Secretary of the Regency ; he was the Regent's brother-in-law, and his place was given to r member of the Assembly. There near es laced a necessity for filling up the vacancy thus artfully created, and for that purpose Count Demetrio della Decima and Dr. Rocco Pillarino were nominated can didates. We pass over in silence, as not necessary to be here noticed, the it egality of the proceedings on this occasion, in as far as regards the removal of the legis lator and the qualifications and conditions of the nomi nated candidates, rind wi:l merely speak of the illegal transactions which occurred at the election. The election took place on Jan. 15,1841. The voting had scarcely commenced when several electors observing many instances of illegality in the proceedings, and relying on the rights they had ac quired by the Constitutional Charter of these islands, made known the malpractices to the commission ap pointed to preside at the Electoral College. The commission, far from listening to the complaints of the electors, when verbally stated, or, at least, reject ing them as if they had been taken into judicial con sidcratiou, always passed them over in the minutes, and, in open violation of the law, declared that it was not intended to hear or receive instances of any kind whatever, either verbal or written, of errors which bad occurred ; thus refusing to pay attention to those pre sented by any of the electors. In this way all were reduced to silence. _ For the wrong thus done to the most respectable body of the State, from which all authority emanates, the undersigned solemnly demand redress. In the hope that your Lordship may be pleased to obtain for them that redress to which they may be found to be entitled, the undersigned take the liberty of submitting the complaints which were made by them against the said election, and also other illegalities which occurred in the proceedings. They observe—l. That according to article 23d of sec. 1, chap. 3, of the Constitutional Charter, every operation connected with an election must be decided upon by the majority of the votes of the assembled electors, given viva voce. 2. That according to paragraph 2, article 36, title 2, of the constitution of 1803, which is maintained in force by article 18, cap. 3, section 1, of the present constitution, in what relates to electoral organisation, his Excellency Coui. t Camillo della Decline, Regent of Cephalonia, and brother of one of the candidates, ought to have resigned the chair of president of the college to some other person. if this article prohibits relations of a candidate, to the fourth degree, from being present at the polling, with much more reason should any such relation be disqualified from presiding over the Electoral College. 3. The college ought to be held illegal, since there had not been posted up, according to custom, the li,t of voters, in order that every elector might have the op portunity of bringing forward his objections, as the law has provided, in the case of rights of the electors being infringed by the insertion in the list of persons not pos sessing the requisite legal qualifications. 4. That the number of electors required to form a legal college should consist of at least one-half of the totality of the electors, according to Art. 23, chap. 3, sac. 1, of the Constitutional Charter. 5. Tint procurations granted for the purpose of en abling an elector to vote in the stead of another who is absent ought not to be admitted, it being enacted by Art. 23, chap. 3, sec. 1, of the Constitutional Charter, " That every electoral proceeding shall be decided upon by the majority of votes given viva voce ;" and the prin cipal proceeding in an election being the polling, it is not possible to maintain that a procuration is then ca pable of supplying the place of a viva voce vote. Numerous, my Lord, aro the illegalities which oc curred in the election of Count Demetrio dalldDecima, besides those already observed ; of 427 voters, there were absent about 200, regarded, on the authority of medical certificates, as patient. Thus the extraordinary phe nomenon might be supposed to have been exhibited, that out of 427 electors one-half cycle sick, as if as epi demic disease had prevailed in the country. May her Majesty the Queen be pleased to order an inquiry ; and, should it be thought fit to grant this request, the facts stated will be irrefragably proved by respectable Apartf roemlect htoersv,ioalnadtiopnerosfonisadwiovridthuyalofriegnhttigr,etchreedit in sult given to the electoral body is a serious offence against the public, and the undersigned expect signal redress from the justice of her Majesty.
