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 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 fur a considerable time devoted themselves ex clusively to a certain class of diseases; of 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 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 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 labyrinth, 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 Kill be enabled to check the evil in its incipient state. The CLERGYMAN, in whose sacred character is at once concentrated the two-fold relation of parent and instructor, will here be directed as to the nature 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 residence, N o relinquished. heir 11.1essrs.

The treaty a the Danube of 13th , "July, 1841, concluded between Russia and Austria, attaches also to the domination of the 13:lack Sea, as a conseceience of the treaty of Adrianorie. - Russia grants to that treaty the free navigation of the 31-f.ck Sea to the merchant vessels of Austria and other natio, ‘.s. Thus the English 'lac' would be excluded from the Dan uhs, in case she should be at war with either Turkey or Russia.

The .first idea -ottifo , hear of an iron shii , is, probably, of something alifazingly strong, but so ;wary as to be kept afloat with difficulty, and liable to go tlova " like a stone," as the sailors term it, the moment she has the misfortune to spring a leak. Now all this is pure imagination, and it only requires to inspect an iron ves sel while under the builder's hands, to have every preju dice on the subject removed, and to ascertain that, so far from being heavier and more liable to sink, the weight of an iron vessel built of the same degree of strength as one of wood, the external dimensions of both. I)eing equal; will ,he something less than half that of the latter, the proportion being, we believe, on an average, about as seven to sixteen. A strong woo d-b u il t vessel is asti mated to weigh at least sixteen hundred weight to er Sty register ton ; the new iron ship building at Bristol, about seven hundred weight, or, in other words, supposing it wood-buil tve isel of the same size as the Great Westr•rit of the hase.fastened support plates with the Lame - weight of cares), the iron ship mie;ll,e take in fourtee i hundred tons of water by leakage, be ' fore she it ould cone to the same bearings as the other,. Not only, however, is the iron ship superior in lighteess, but shs is also fir less liable to spring a leak at sea than a wood-built vessel. There is scarcely a plank in an or dinary ship which is not forced into its place, inure or less, contrary to the position it would maintain if left to itself; and this is particularly the case round the bows and in the run of the vessel, where, after being softened aid rendered pliant by saturation from steam, it often requires considerable mechanical power to bring the _planks to what is technically called " their berth." Again, every plank, however firmly bolted to the tins - hers within, is quite independent of, and unconnected with, those above and below it ; the consequence of which is, that every wood-built vessel has a tendency to strain at sea, whenever, as it is often needful to do, •an unusual press of canvass is carried on her ; the masts in this case acting as a powerful lever on the upper works, with which they are conw_seted by the deck and beams ; and the ballast (Sr cargo below endeavouring to maintain its position by its vis inertia, it becomes evident, that in proportion as the ti "e should vessel heels over from the force of the wind, so much greater must be . the strain on her weather or upper side; and this having a direct tendency to open the seams between the planks, it is by no means uncommon for ves sels teeleak under such circumstances, which had previ ously shown na symptom of complaining : and often time the fastening works loose, treenails mid bolts are partially drawn, butts started, and the vessel becomes leaky and unseaworthy, however new, until she has again been overhauled by the ship: 'rights. All old sailors are perfectly aware of this, and are never caught by a storm, on a lee-shore, without keeping a watchful eye on the pumps as well as the sails ; but in the case of au irons, built vessel it is entirely,different : every separate sheet of iron with which she is closed in is adapted to its par ticular situation, from which it has no tendency to re move itself, except that which it naturally derives ftom, gravitation ; and as every sheet is bolted in the firmes,, manner into all those to which it adjoins, above , th " low, and laterally, as well as to the iron ribs, or frame on .. which they are laid, the vessel may be considered almost as compact as a cylinder ; and we should no , more gh ex pect to find her leak by straining at sea, expect to see the bilge-plank of a wood-built vessel open through its centre, under similar circumstances. I To sup ply the place of a kelson, ten ofth eve f s e r s o o e m nil,partm each which ' • the epntabste are fixed to run the whole length fore and a above two feet deep, and something the whole being united by it th n us u l l ; t r n. o o f . that th apart, ess of the letter U, the bottom of each the 1 into a flooring iron, and thaensd(idisuetisn,tii.tifrbototfstttnihostidialnglos: be tween which it stands ; securing the same strength, awnhdapt whatever i cu i t cause, so as to meet the strain on the bottom, Wherever it may from being subject to w reck at sea, occur. To insure the safety of which will be water-ugat, and . . any two of them she will be divided into separate ca pable of supporting the entire weight of the vessel with considerable buoyancY, so that if she ran into an ice berg, or were thrown upon a rock, she would not be liable ' to go down, or endanger the lives of the Das ai Jong as one end of her remained unbrofien. superiorb• liglelkii added the power of her pumps, which s T e o ng th er is s, may be w ill b e enabled, in case of any serious leak, to throw off a quantity of water exceeding 7,000 gallons, or twenty five tuns per minute ; so that a leak which would in five minutes sink a loaded ship of the size of three or four hundred tons, would merely keep the pumps ot t'ss steamer briskly at work, to prevent the water from ga:1:- ing on her. In fact, when the ship is fairly afloat, * . L A good canv ass aloft and the screw-propeller below, !:'::_t maybe pro nounce d_ to be the most safe and cowlete nautical machine with which Mankind were ever yet acquainted. AN OSSIFIED MAN.—In the Museum at Dub lin there is a skeleton of one Clarke, a native of the City of Cork, whom they called the ossified man, one of the greatest curiosities of nature. It is the carcase of a man, entirely ossified in his life r time," living in that condition several years. Those that knew him before this sur prising alteration, affirm he had been a young man of great strength and agility. He felt the first syn3ptoms of this surprising change some time after he had lain all night in the fields, after a debauch, till, la slow degrees, every part grew into a bony substance, excepting his skin, eyes, and intestines ; his joints nettled in such a manner, that no ligament had its proper operation ; ho could not lay down or rise up without assistance. His teeth were joined, and formed into one entire bone ; his tongue lost its use, and his sight failed him tome time before he expired. LONDON, WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 1, 1811.

HE daily occurrence of FIRE, whether front accident, carelessness, or the vile practice of incen diarism, the effect is the same, and although often commencing with a spark that might be easily extingui,hed if a pail of wa ter were at hand; yet, for want of such precaution, both life and property often fall a sacrifice to the devouring element. Asa protection against such awful calamities, J. READ has invented a small FIRE ENGINE that may be worked by two men, but with greater advantage by four, discharging water in a constant str?am (at the rate of 20 gallons per minute) to a distance of sixty feet. It is so portable it will pass through any.doorway three feet wide ; may be kept in a house, or any budding where there is 'linger of fire, and, with a length of hose, would compass any mansion in the country.

" London, August 28, 1841. My clear Ray—Hurrah fortho repeal ! It is bravely afloat. We are free from the Whig shoals, and the breakers ahead' of place hunters. The Tories are busy dividing the spoils of their victory, but believe me that they will not enjoy them long. In the meantime let us avail ourselves of the happy opportunity for augmenting the number of Repealers. It is idle indeed to deny that the man who now hesitates to join the ranks of the Re pealers, can have but little sense and less patriotism. reel, of course, will give us a dose of plausible hypocrisy, as he did last night ; but, Irish shrewdness is not to be cheated by his "paltry plausibilities. I had him to my heart's content in dsmgmg passion last night. " I cannot fora few•days be allowed by the rules of the llouirto make my election. for Cork so as to allow the new writ for Meath to issue, which it cannot do until the Bth of. September. I arrange to have it issued at the earliest possible moment. " I cannot be in Dublin until Thursday morningnext. I do hope the deputies and candidates in the wards are all alive. Taxes, taxes, taxes, should-be.the-cry. lam assured fifteen revising barristers—one for each ward— are appointed, Is this so ? " Is it not clear to demonstration that Ireland can have no hope but in her own exertions ? But is she not hope enough for herself ? . " Hurrah for repeal. " Your's very truly, " DANIEL O'CONNELL.

LORD MORPETH AND THE REFORMERS OF LIMERICK. -- From the following letter it will be seen that the No • ble Lord declines the honour intended him by the citi zens of Limerick : " London, Aug. 25, 1841. " Gentlemen—l beg to acknowledge, with the deepest sentiments of respect and gratitude, the expression of opinion embodied in the address from the public meeting of the citizens of Limerick. " That the services which it has been allotted to me to render during the period of my connection with the Government of Ireland, and still more, that the inten tions by which they werl suggested and guided, should have been thus indulgently recognized, is now felt by me as a most abounding reward, and will prove to me, through every change and chance of my future life, a source of genuine and abiding satisfaction. " It cannot fail to be even additionally gratifying to me that such a mark of consideration should have pro ceeded from a community which, although of great and growing importance, is yet far removed from the usual scenes of my official labours ; and I cannot refrain from remembering with pleasure that the latest act connected with the duties of my department in Parliament was to introduce a measure which I hope is yet destined to af ford to Limerick a more close and speedy connection with the other portions of the .empire.--I have the ho nour to be, gentlemen, your most obedient and devoted servant, " MORPETH." NATIONAL BANQUET TO LORD MOR.PETIL This splendid festival, meant to testify Ireland's affec tion and gratitude to one of the noblest of her defenders, promises to be the most delightful re-union ever wit nessed in this kingdom. Preparations on the most mag nificent scale are being made. We understand that the Committee will be able to issue tickets on to-morrow. Ladies will be admitted to the theatre to witness this superb sight. Letters expressing the warmest concurrence in the proceedings have been received from Lords Listowel, Rossmore, Cremorne, Stuart, and Ebrington. The Committee have also received communications from the most illustrious of the nobility and gentry in the empire, signifying their intention to be present on the occasion. Amongst these are the Lords Clanricarde, Lurgan, Oranmore,T.albot de Malahide, &c., &c. Letters of acceptance have also been sent by Sir R. W. Carew, Sir John Kennedy, Sir Percy Nugent, Sir D. Jephson Nor reys, Mr. More O'Ferrall, Mr. A. F. St. George, the Hon. W. Villiers Stuart, Mr. Ross, of Rosstrevor, and a host of others not less distinguished. Moore, the poet, will be also present.—Morning I?egister. COAL-PIT EXPLOSION.—An explosion of fire-damp occurred in the Braehead coal-pit, near Whitletts, on Friday night, or early on Saturday morn incl, by which eleven persons were more or less severely injured. The party, who were employed in cleaning what are called the roads, had sat down together to partake of some refreshment--according to the custom, about twelve o'clock—in a quarter of the pit considered free of foul air. While thus engaged, a quantity of gas, which had taken an unexpected turn, came in contact with their lights, and exploded from roof to pavement, burning and throwing ten of the party to a considerable distance. One of the men, Edward M'Neil, from whose statement the above facts are given, is severely injured. His right side is literally scorched, and his face and arms nearly peeled. John Morrison and William Clark are also very much burned. Their situation was rendered Still more deplorable by the inattention of the engine man, who was probably asleep at the time. More than an hour elapsed after the accident before the steam was sufficiently raised to take them up, during which pro tracted period the sufferers, enduring the most excru ciating agony, made every signal in their power to apprise him of their. situation.—Edingburgh Courant. A desperate outrage was, a few days since, committed at Bordeaux. Two individuals called at the house of a M. Dumas, who was reputed to bq possessed of considerable property, and requested to look at an apartment which waa to be let. After viewing the pre mises, and entering into a short conversation with the proprietor, they left, saying they would call again. They did so in the evening, but M. Dumas not being at home, they wer e i nv it e d b y the porter to sit down and wait his return. While engaged i n conversation with the porter and his wife„ the two ruffians suddenly made a desperate attack upon them ; one of them seized' the porter by the throat, with one hand so as to prevent his crying out, and with the other passed a cord round his neck with which he succeeded in strangling him ; the other, who had attac k ed the woman, inflicted some severe injuries on her, but did not effectually prevent her cries, by which the neighbours were alarmed and rushed in, when the ruffian; made their escape, and have not since been discovered. M. Dumas did not return till some time after. There is no doubt it was the inten tion of the thieves, had he 13.vn at home, to ,have mur dered him, ,and robbed the p rem i ses.

POST.—An opinion appears generally to prevail that more Money was spent in the late election, and more cor ruptly spent, than in any other election which has taken place for some time. Whether this, be actually true or not, we. cannot tell, and , have seeans of ascertaining. We only state the general opinion that at the late gene ral election, more votes were °litlined in exchange for money than hitherto has been e Usual. We trust it is scarcely necessary for ue to say, that if the filet be so, it is a deplorable end disgraceful feet, and that the Legis lature could • not, in our Opinion:- better employ itself than. in devising some method of ; preventing the future occurrence of such corruption as.far as it may be possi ble, and providing ;harp and effectual punishment for it when reasonable proof can be 'Obtained of its com mission. But we find the defeated • party of the Whig-Radicals exclaiming that their. defeat is owing to this venality. - " See," say they, " how your own Journals admit that scarcely ever before was such .bribery committed. - This 'eePlains your majority. How can you .boast of 21, Mejotity obtained by such means ? " This is mere sophistry. The question is treated es If the taint belonged to the whole mass of the elections, whereas,' in truth, it belongs only to a part, aninot so that partefrotn which the strength of the Con servative party is derived. No Disc_ pretends to say that the' English' county elections, or any county elections, were gained by bribery. But Lord John Russell has taken especial pains to point out to the public, that the strength of-the Conservatives is derived from the Eng lish counties, • Their majority in these counties, said the Noble rsird,. is overWhelinings The system of buy . ing votes is notoriously brought to bear en the towns, and especially those of the smaller ilescription. Now, eve and that at the last•tlectiort: thq chief less was in thereenetties s ..thg neeestersasin turps • eps,pWll6, but in the seisdier toetinlsrkerilleser Pre" ers — VElfat pai t 4-leas tee'''So strong was the public feeling against, them, that eyerywhere, and in all descriptions of elective localitiesS theylost ' more or less, but where bribery prevails least they lost most, and where - bribery prevails most they lOst leask CHRONICLE.—We are told in the Times of yestere e day—and a greater truth, or one more applicable to ca citing circumstances, • has never been affirmed Sin any journal—that " the Minister who would govern reigland in times like these, must have a clear and distinct line of policy, based upon -principle, and firmly settled in his own mind ;, and, secondly, he must carry thie policeeinto action with resolute decision." On this ground we feel confident that the advocates of free trade hate only Sus tained:a temporary defeat ; and that the Government of the country can only be prevented from reverting unto their hands by the submission of the opposite party to the principles over which it has triumphed, and -.its adoption of measures substantially the'. same. feith those which it Ilse gained power by denounCing. It is mainly in financial concerns that.. " it clear' and distinct line:, of policy, based upon principle," is called for at the present emergency. ; The, ordinary process of taxation has reached its limits. The stiffer ings of the people have also nearly reached :siegh limits as arc endurable. .„ Sir Robert Peel told . the Ho\ise ithat he had " listened vtitli the greatest pain to these .ac= counts of manufacturing distress detailed beeHoh. Gen tlemen opposite, whose character and opportanitiek for observation entitle _them, to the greatest respent?! : his predecessors had done something more that '4 listen with -the greatest pain," They had not : merely tm- • nounced their pain, ,ere, rotund°, to a „cheering majority, to elicit " hears." They had determined to abandon all idea of levying more, taxation upon this sifli'ering po pulation. The screw was ordered to be stopped' and then to, be turned backwards. Out of their " pain" had sprung the idea of untaxing the people's bread. The corn monopoly and other great monopolies had been in vited to relinquish their private taxation upori, the com munity — e a taxation far inure onerous than Gterninent imposts. Based upon the principle of free r •ade, the great right of industry, this policy was.. carried out into details and applications that shelved in it the prolific germ of reviving prosperity. Food cheapened, on the one hand ; employment Multiplied on the other. The " resobete decision" to " carry thisl policy into action " has lost Ministers their places ; but if' there be truth in the principle enunciated in the Times, they and they alone will yet " govern England." How doee Sir Robert Peel regard this same pressure- and dis tress ? Deny its existence he cannot ; he 4 ,says it gives him pain ; and he is not the map to feel pans for nothing. But what will lie do for it ? He will not allow the half famished to reckon .upon their bread being untaxed. He will not allow the unemployed tp look fouvard to the fresh markets for labour that watild be opened by -a ,re gular corn trade. What then, is his plait, policy, 'or prineiple ? Simply to let the starving starve on ; to put distress into the list of inevitable events ; and to bear his own " greatest pain" as well as be-can, under such mollifications as the possession of office snav afford. " I own to you," says thb&compassionator of pullic dis tress, this demolisher 451' an untaxing- Ministry, this Avenger of - alleged miegovernineig, " 'you that mine is but a gloomy view of the subject." Let the in dustrial classes mark s well these confessions of the genius of a new political dynasty. His principle is, that the people's distress cannot be helped. TIMES.—At the close of his speech on Saturday morning, Lord John Russell thought proper to make an allusion to the Conservative Press, which, whether it was or was not particularly directed against ourselves, we think it becomes us to notice. While acquitting the Conservative leaders in Parliament of any unfair or fee-. tious opposition to the late Government, he observed, that " their followers and supporters in the country, and their advocates of the Press, had resorted to misrepre sentations and calumnies which he believed were never equalled." He then: added, that Sir Robert Peel had exhibited an excessive sensitiveness on the subject of " some foolish stories" in the Whig Journals, which, in his opinion, " were hardly worth the attention which the Right Honourable Gentleman was pleased to bestow upon them." :" But," continued he, " with out alluding to any absurd stories of that kind, and turning to what I think is a much graver accusation af fecting the Ministers, with regard to their conduct on most vital points, with regard to their character and honour, it must be known to be perfectly absurd. How ever, I think that these means,' and not the conduct of Ministers, or means of that kind, are the most pro minent causes of the successes of the opposite party." It is probable • th a t th ose w h o are in the habit of perusing with impartial attention the organs of both political parties may discover in thee sentences a remarkable proof of the peculiar' oblquity of moral vision which distingeishes Lord John Russell among statesmen. Even If .it were granted fur an instant, and for argument's sake, that we and our Conservative Contemporaries had d one i n j ust i ce to the Whig Ministry, we should be glad to know on which side the balance of calumny would be found—with us, or with the Journal ists who have stigmatized the opponents of the late Go vernment as execrable and hard-hearted monopolists, in capable of saying their daily prayer; without hypocrisy ? We are told by persons curious about the secret history of the Gazette, that the particular portion of the late Government Press which • has been most distinguished by this sort of invective against the Conservative party has received from the Whigs very eminent and substantial marks of gratitude and favour. HERALD.—The public will perceive with a degree of pleasure, we are sure, torreeponding with that which actuates us in the announcement, that the new Premier is already surrounded by the most distinguished mem bers of the Conservative party. The chiefest names among its nobles and its commoners are found on the list of those friends who were first summoned to personal conferences with him after his return from the Royal presence. The usual circular of the Court Newsman confirms the report of our own correspondent as to the gene rous confidence which marked, on the part of his Sove reign, the gracious and honourable reception accorded to him at Windsor. We have concurring intelligence from va rious quarters as to the cordial communications into which the leaders of his own party have entered with him since his return to town. On the almost certain prosperity of a future political career which opens under such auspi cious and gratifying prospects, it is difficult to anticipate any drawbacks—beyond the ordinary casualties which control the duration of human life and arrest the deve lopment of human purposes—which we may not leave with confidence to be disposed of by the charac teristic discretion and sagacity of the Right Hon. Baro net. He may look around upon the band of magnates and of experienced public servants by whom he is now surrounded with those feelings of pride and confidence which reward the leader of a mighty en terprise, before, even, his entry upon the duty he has undertaken, for years of patient endurance, of un successful struggle,. of calumniated purposes, but of un failing patience, and unwavering constancy. His leader. ship in opposition has been one of the most brilliant and animated passages in the history of 'British statesmen ; his return to power is marked by distinctions, and poli tical alliances almost unequalled in the cordiality with which the former have been conferred, and tho latter have been formed with him. The good fortune of the Right Hon. Baronet seems to be commensurate with the promise of his Premiership : and as we believe him to be every way qualified for the honours of the latter, so we are confident he will approve himself not unequal to the more incessant demands of the former on his self possession and his prudence. ADVERTISER.—" The Queen's reception of Sir R. Peel," observe the Tory press, was " most gracious," and hence they would have it believed that the duty which the adverse vote- of the House of Commons had by con stitutional precedent imposed on her Majesty, was not repugnant to her royal feelings. Courtesy designates every act of royalty ns " most gracious," and only in the language of formal etiquette can these terms be applied to the reception given to Sir Robert Peel on his recent visit to Windsor. Her Majesty certainly evinced no anxiety to detain the Right lion. Baronet from his public duties by indulging the personal gratification which she experienced in his society, for though the occasion was one of the most momentous that has occurred in the annals of British history, the Monarch's interview with the Minister who has been ob truded on her councils did not endure from four o'clock till five—a little hour ! Notwithstanding this, however, her Majesty's reception al Sir Robert Peel was " most gracious," and equally so is the act of Roy alty when signing the warrant authorising- the execution of a public criminal.' Of her Majesty's feelings on the occasion an opinion may be formed from the fact, which we announce ou good authority, that "during Mt last tAree days the Quein has been . frequently seen in tcarB," which may is a similar spirit be described as "most gra cious" evidences of, her feelings on the advent of a Tory Ministry. In writing to us'on, this subject, a correspond ent exclaims :—" Englishmen, up to the rescue ! Your Queen is at this moment in her Palace,,weeping over the loss of one Ministry, and the accession of another. It is on your account, not less than her own, she weeps ; it is you who ought to spring to her relief. The arm of chivalry may be gone, but that of indifference beauty and Royalty in tears surely has not seC ceeded." We shall not damp the generous ardour of our correspondent, by scrutinizing motives, nor analie the causes of her Majesty's affliction, to ascertain the relative amount of tears shed for her country's afflie6'on and her own, though we know the patriotism of :tier Majesty would net wane in the investigation.

I -A letter to the Shareholders of the British gson Com pany by Mr. Motte, one of the "united slunisholders," was published a day or two previous to the last geeeral meeting. The object -of his argument is tol pet wade the Company, to windup their affairs after the stal.isfac tion of .all outstanding claims. He examines die stc coiihts published by the Directors at • great lendhe and, after invastigatiug each separate document, conttes to the eoredusiorathat the Directors purchased, in 1825.1, 21 free hold estates, at a cost of more than 700,000/., ;being-iip warfls of 500,000/. over value ; that they buriened the Company with leasehold liabilities fOr inhierals more than equal to 6,500/. per annum for sixty ye! trs, and that it was reported to the shareholders from t; xne to time that profits varying from 6,0001.sto:60,0001. were being. made, whereas the Directors' report exhibits a loss of 4,9121. On the contract made for the estate; called Ctien greavea for 600,090/„ . besides 36,0001. for stock, in June, 1825,.• Mr. Motto reminds the shareholdm-s that it was valued at 300,000/. far its minerals•alone, 'but never pro-.

' Thee total receipts of the Directm's from the shareholders . since 1825 be estimates at more than 4,00t1,000L, while the loss, as stated .above, is 4,912/., which Mr.eMotee, by adding . n i l o n : t t e t r eo e d s n t tt t no i p e e bi f y l e4 7 . i .,: i s,i , „n a 9o i , , ,,,,,, i ls. n it. e n:f r oci e lrn a e s t.ln e ni s t)liyld : s o etrh a a7e b; soc : o e n.. 1, n e n 7 0,0 b 0 e 0 i l n gn The d. totalaed ( l l ( i ) s s a sl l n o te=s :I:P asid l se f t t e n. do ln w te n re t s h t e 0 1 2,227,962/. Haring premised this enormous lose; and enumerated other facts teeshew that Share holders have been misled, he draws "their attention to the perils of fresh litigation, remarking that millions will. be at stake in the event of law proceedings between the • Shareholders and - the ' Directors. He recommends a searching inquiry into the affairs of the Company, that its actual- losses and liabilities and the present state of its liabilities may be ascertained, and that the present dis jointed properties may be let or cold, so that as much as possible may be realized. before. a winding-up. The Company once wound up, and those Shareholders who wish having retired, " the Company," he says, " might be reorganized, and the trade of this new body concen trated on one property, so that the , expense might btte duced to a nzinintunz, and something like a profit be rea . lized. If, however, there, is no cessation of h05t : 444440a tweed the contending parties, and nodispwition towards conciliation on the part of the Directors, Mr. Motto can foresee no other result than a Chancery suit—a result , which was distinctly predicted at the meeting!, POST.—By the private advices lately received from Buenos Ayres it is satisfactory to perceive that the in terests of the British creditors of the republic have been kept constantly in view by the Government of President Roses. His Excellency Senor Moreno's despatches from London on the subject had reached the hands of the Fi nance Minister. The immediate departure of the packet, however, allowed for the moment only just time to make a hasty acknowledgement of them. The details of a plan for the adjustment of the English debt, suggested by M. Moreno and Messrs. Baring, Brothers, and Co., which embraces, we believe, a proposal for liquidation by part in cash, to be realized out of the national products of the republic in the - European markets, and part in Treasury Bonds, receivable at the custom-houses, had not yet been formally entered upon ; but we have good grounds for thinking that, in. defiance of the still existing differences of the Argentine State with Monte Video, an honourable intention of satisfying the claims of the English bond holders, now fourteen years in abeyance, is entertained. We learn farther 'from these private sources of in formation that the affair between the republic and Monte Video was rapidly hastening to a close. Such a consum mation was accelerated by the growing discontent which prevailed in Monte Video. Lavelle, it is asserted, was completely crushed, and nothing serious was now appre hended from the Unitarian faction, with whose interests he had identified himself in the civil war. The known determination of the Governments ' of both France and England, each acting upon its individual policy, tended to diacourage the enterprises of those who had been hoping to accomplish the revolutionary purposes they had in view. . . ADVERTISER.—According to a statement in a Shrewsbury Journal, we are happy to learn that the assignees of Messrs. Price, Jones, and Edwards have now realized a sum of from 18,000/. to 20,0001., either in Exchequer Bills or in funds immediately available. This sum they have determined to divide among the creditors upon the earliest day they are permitted to do so by law, viz., on the 30th of September next, four months after the fiat of bankruptcy was issued. The sum proved against the joint estate is about 80,0001., so that the assets now in hand will be sufficient to pay ss. in the pound at that time, without the receipt of a farthing from the valuable private estates of the bankrupts. This statement will dissipate much of the gloomy apprehension entertained respecting the results of this failure. HERALD.—Private letters from Manchester announce the stoppage of a large calico printing concern in that town. The Bank of Manchester is said to be a creditor for 20,000/., and indeed it is stated was the occasion of the stoppage of the house, by not only refusing further facilities in the way of advances or discounts, but pe remptorily calling for the balance in excess then owing. This Bank is said to be in like manner restricting its operations, and calling in its advances in other quarters, which it is feared may lead to the break-up of other establishments who have over-extended themselves. The policy seems rather harsh, but may nevertheless be justifiable and expedient in regard to the Bank's own interest ; for it has undoubtedly been exposed to many heavy losses. CHRONICLE.—The general accuracy of the finan cial statement made by Mr. Baring during the recent de bate is fully supported by the official accounts of the pub lic debt and expenditure recently laid before Parlia ment. Mr. Goulburn, in reply, did not dispute the re sults, but applied himself chiefly to a consideration of details, and an objection to the comparison of periods taken on the principle of average. He observed that in the " average of the five years which comprised the Duke of Wellington's Adminstration it must be borne in mind that the expenditure of the first year was very high, and of the last very low. The expenditure in the year 1825 was 54,895,9491." That of 1830 was 52,018,617/., which is lower, but decidedly not " very low," for in the year 1832 the expenditure was but 5t1,908,3281., while in 1835 it was 'only 48,787,6381., being 3,230,9791. below the " very low" expenditure referred to by the Right Honourable Gentleman. Mr. Goulburn also observed, that while the average expenditure daring the five years of the Duke of Wellington's Administration was core stantly decreasing, the reverse was the case during thu last five years. This is true, but the Right Hon. Gen tleman forgot to notice that the decrease steadily con tinued after the Duke of Wellington quitted office, and that it was not until the state of public affairs rendered the same course of economical expenditure inconsistent with due attention to the public interests that any in crease was incurred. Mr. Goulburn took no notice of these facts. He did not allude to the great reduction of the expenditure effected by the Whigs after the Duke of Wellington retired from office, nor the frequent and fierce attacks which the Tory party hurled against the Go vernment of Lord Melbourne for not forming the army and navy estimates on a scale of sufficient expense. SUN.—There has been a slight depression in Sto c ks to-day, but no marked reaction has occurred. For im mediate transfer Consols realized 891 to ;, closing at 89i tot ; and for Account 94 to a ; Exchequer Bills wire 17. , . to 15s. premium, being firm,_ but India Bonds dropped to 2s. and Is. premium. Bank Stock was rather higher, viz., 1621 to 1691, the New Three-and a-half per Cents. were at 981 to I, and the Three per Cent. Annuities at 90 to 90/. Money was in rather more demand. A moderate business was done in Foreign Stocks, al though the half-monthly settlement attracted the chief attention. The Bulls appeared to have the best of it, Spanish having risen since the 16th instant from 19i to SYRIA.

THE STRAITS OF THE DAH,DA- NELLES. The following article has been published by the Augs burg Gazette, relative to the Straits of the Dardanelles:— " The Porte, in its declaration of the 7th January, 1807, complained of the abuse by Russia of the pas sage which had been garnted to her to the Seven Islands. Russia, in contempt of the neutrality of the Porte, had profited by this passage to effect a landing on the coasts of Italy. The English fleet, under the orders of Admiral Duckworth, appeared in the Dardanelles on the 20th of February, but retired on the Ist of March without effecting anything. During this time the Turks, under the direction of General Sebastiani, had placed Constantinople in a state of defence, so that the English could not retire without sustaining considerable loss. The English do not care to talk much about, this ex pedition. It was a vain demonstration, like that of the Russian Admiral, who on the 20th of duly, 1770, entered the straits with his vessel, had his tea served on deck, and then returned to his fleet. The Baron de Tottthenreceived orders to put the castles in a better state of defence. Adair, the negociator of the peaee of 1809, has defended, in the Edinburgh Review, the English policy of 1807, but places all the ridiculous part of it. to the account of Russia, which power, he pretends, deserted her ally, Prussia, the better to follow up her projects of con quest on the Danube. We see by the foregoing that the old rule for the closing of the straits was so fallen into oblivion that Russia. England, France, and the Porte were completely in ignorance of it. England only remembered it in 1809, at a time when she was at war with France. This ancient rule signified two things ; as it was laid down in 1809, it recognized :a right of the Sultan, and the Sultan entered into an engagement towards the other Powers. This right of the Sultan was based on the principle of his possession of the straits, and this right was so strong as to confer the power of a passage through them. Others pretend that the passage should only be granted spontaneously by the Sovereign who had the dominion of the sea. It is easily observed that Russia constantly endeavours to extend her influence in the Black Sea to the prejudice of the Ottoman Porte. The Porte instinctively comprehends (even had the jealousy of France towards Russia been less strong) how far that power would go if temporary possession only were given of the sea of Azof. Twice the Russians have restored Azof—at the peace of Pruth, in 1739, and in that of Belgrade—by which Rus sia renounced the navigation of the Black Sea, Russian vessels should not he built in the sea of Azof nor in the Black Sea, and Russian commerce should be carried on by Turkish vessels. " The peace of Kutschuk-Kaimardschi (1774) changed the scene, and•the Turkish empire began to decline. The Russians profited by the sovereignty of the Crimea to divide the domination of the sea coast. Russian cora merge was granted not only the navigation of the Black Sea, but also the free and unlimited passage of the straits of the Black and White Seas ; and the Porte having raised some difficulties, this permission was fur ther confirmed in 1779 and 1783. In 1783, Count Panin declared at Constantinople through the Prussian Ambas sador, that there was no question about Vessels of war, but merely of merchant vessels. At the commencement of, the 19th century, Europe became accustomed to see a Rus sian fleet of men-of-war in the Black Sea, which more than once defeated the Turkish fleet. Notwithstan din g this, it was the Ottoman Porte which grunted to different nations, one after the other, the pri vilege of navigation in the Black Sea for mer chant vessels, viz. :—to Austria, on the 24th Feb ruary, 1784 to England, 30th October, 1799 ; and to France, 25th June, 1802. From 1797, Nicolazen and Sebastopol became importaut maritime ports. Since the peace of Bucharest in 1812, all the coast from the northern mouth of the Danube unto that of Kouban was submitted to Russian domination ; but it was only in 1829 that Russia derived any benefit of this right of so vereignty. " Article 7 of the treaty of Adrianople runs thus.:— " The passage of the canal of Constantinople and of the Dardanelles is declared free to all the merchant vessels of the powers at peace with the Porte, whether they are proceeding to the Russian parts in the Black Sea, or are returning from them loaded or unloaded, on the same conditions as vessels under the Rtissien flag, ~.,. . ;~ j 1 •~~ 5 ; 3:o- ITERARY ASSISTANCE, in the ,Ar- A-41 rangement and Correction of Works, popular or 'pro fessional, by a Gentleman, who has had much experience in Practical Literature, and who, in proof of ability, can either refer to published works of his own, or will correct, at sight, any part of those which are laid before him.
