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 end aroused by this supineness, on the part of the regular surgeon. In order to obviate the pernicious effects surd 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 come 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, tabes, &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 aro 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 this he will 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 (Ps estrous consequences which are sure to follow from them if not relinquished.

On Thursday a vestry meeting of the parishioners of Braintree was held, pursuant to a notice, in accordance with a monition from the Ecclesiastical Court of the Bishop of London, commanding them to make a rate for the repairs of the church, and defraying the necessary expenses of the decent celebration of divine service. The meeting was numerously attended. The llev.B. SCALE, the Vicar, took the chair. Mr. VELEY, the Churchwarden, after reading the monition, proposed that a rate of 2s. in the pound be made, in obedience to the Monition. Mr. COURTAULD moved, as an amendment—" That all compulsory payments for the support of the religious services of any sect or people, appear to the majority o f this vestry to be unsanctioned by any portion of the New Testament Scriptures, and altogether opposed to, and subversive of, the pure and spiritual character cf the re ligion of Christ. But that, for any one religious sect to compel others, which disapprove their forms of wor ship, or system of Church government, or which dissent from their religious principles and creed, to nevertheless submit to, support, and extend them, appears to this vestry, to be a yet more obvious invasion of religious freedom, and violation of the rights of conscience ; while, also, it appears to be a gross injustice to Dissenters as citizens, to compel them to pay for the religious services of others, in which they have no part, while they build their own chapels, support their own ministers, and de fray the charges of their own worship. That compul sory Church -rates, and more especially such rates upon Dissenters, thus appearing to be as a tax unjust, and as an ecclesiastical imposition adverse to religious liberty, and contrary to the spirit of Christianity, this Vestry feels bound, by the highest obligations of social justice and of religious principle, to refuse to make a rate, and does refuse accordingly." The amendment was carried by a large majority. Mr. VELEY—I propose, and I am now addressing myself to those who are willing to obey the Munition, that we make a rate of 2s. in the pound. Mr. - CotnrrkuLD said the Churchwardens had - taken a course Which appeared wholly irregular ; this was a meeting of rate-payers, and he apprehended nothing could be done but by the act of the majority. lle would, therefore, submit to them as a substantive motion, that the amendment having been carried in opposition to the proposed rate, no rate had been made by that Vestry meeting. Mr. VELEY—We shall never make it matter of charge that it has been made by this meeting—it is part of the measure pointed out by the judgment. Mr. COURTAULD said, then he would content himself with protesting against the irregular manner in which the Churchwardens had attempted to make a rate after it had been denied by the majority ; and he protested also against the rate attempted to be made. The rate of 2s. in the pound was then made by the Churchwardens, and signed by them and the Vicar, and several of the parishioners. Mr. Courtauld's protest was entered on the minute book ; and thanks having been voted to the Chairman the meeting separated. The proceedings were conducted in a very orderly and peaceful manner. OLD PROVINCIAL PAPERS. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SlR—Seeing in your paper a few days since some ac count of ancient newspapers, and not including one of considerable antiquity in this neighbourhood, I beg to inform you I have a copy of the Sherborne Mercury, of the date of August 16, 1737, printed at Sherborne by W. Bettinson and Company, from London (price 2d., stamp id.), which appears to be the only advertising medium in this locality. - It contains some rather amusing information compared with the rapid mode of travelling in the present day. There are two advertisements for the quick conveyance of goods and passengers from Frome, Somerset, to London, on " Bird's Flying Frome Waggon," sets out from the George Inn , Frome , for th e Bull and Mouth Inn, near Aldersgate, London, every Monday by five o'clock, and returns to Frome by twelve at lioon, Saturday. " Performed, if God permit, by Roger Bird." "The Hathersele, who about a year ago sailed hence for Barbadoes, is now daily expected from thence in the River full freighted with sugar." " On Tuesday the Assizes ended at Derby, where was a most splendid appearance of gentlemen and ladies to attend the high Sheriff ; and at night a ball, where a lady proposed a collection for a soldier who had drank the Pretender's health, and accordingly a great number of half-crowns were gathered for him." " On Thursday last the wife of the noted Turpin was brought to bed of a son' and heir at her house, near Chinkford Green, Essex." • " This day eighteen persons were convicted before the Commissioners of Excise for retailing spirituous liquors contrary to the Act, and fined 1001. each." " Ou Thursday was exported for Cadiz 850 quarters of wheat." Early yesterday morning three men in liquor fell into Tower-dite:i, • one of whom was killed outright, a second had an arm broke, and the third dislocated his collar-bone. They have truss'd the saying, drunken men catch no harm." SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS ' , Rost THE MORNING PAPERS' OF THIS OAT. CHRONICLE. —One of the most egregious sophisms of the corn monopolists is, that the home tradt4eing of larger amount than the foreign, the latter may be alroWed to decline without material injury to the prosperity of theisation. The notion is as short sighted as it is selfish. The ftsreign trade cannot be isolated, and the ruin and wretchedness occasioned by its sacri fice to the restrictive system confined within certain bounda ries. They would overflow the entire community. Foreign trade is not merely one of the elementi of our prosperity, a brick in the building, but the key-stont:ef the arch, to destroy which would bring the whole down in *Or confusion and deso lation. There is no power in the Cornilaws to supply the in creasing deficiency whi c h t h ey cause in e foreign market for manufactures. The agriculturist is tat. the wealthier. His own home market for his grain is dote iorated. The restric tion impoverishe s th e manu f acturers, h o ar e his customers. i By throwing a nu m b er o f h an d s o ' o f employment, the wages of the e n ti re body of the Working c lasses are diminished. The consumption of fond decreases. We say nothing of the suffering, nothing of th ''.diseontcrit and turbu lence,ld nothing of the d emo ralization a t h re atening aspect towards the well-being o f soc i ety , i n su a state of things. All dark and dreadful results may be expected when multitudes have been brought into existence by a itstem which is checked in its progress, so as to expose them to the horrors of gradual starvation. But take it only as an agriculturist's question of profit and loss. In the sacrifice of foreign trade, a sacrifice which he has begun to make, he calls down ruin on his own head. The progress of foreign trade has made him what he is. It has created the greatness of the agricultural interest. It has added nearly seven millions of acres to the breadth of land in cultivation. It has largely enhanced the amount of produce from the same extent of soil. The foreign market has made the hom e mar k et b ot h o f t h e farmer and the manu facturer. As it d ec li nes , t h e C ap i ta l o f the one will be annihi lated, that of the o th er w ill m i grate, ant t the labouring popula - tion be turned adrift t o wrea k a ll t h e excesses which their want and their numbers stimul a t e . One caunat io e n o . bservations which we iri lp E i s rif . a — t u rr a t h = since on the subject of the excellent tles ie N v for the establish ment of new Colonial Bishoprics, for ''' o i ff m e a r g ed ine a a few day tillsoschurch more de s pl oa is in debted to her Prelates, seem to have made some stir among the journals in the Romish and. Dissenting interest. The op position of these parties, and still more the virulence of tone in which their opposition is expressed, furnishes additional evi dence of the importance of the plan. The mere mention of it has created a panic in the camp of schism ; and we observe with pleasure that the attack is mainly directed against those features of the design which lead us to recognise in it proofs of a reviving consciousness on the part of the Church of the im mense moral and circumstantial resources which she has within herself. We are satisfied that her rulers have too long acted upon an inadequate conception of the powers and opportunities at their command ; and it will be for the benefit of both Church and State that this lethargy should be shaken off. We have seen days (not very long since) when the enemies of all authority and order, civil and ecclesiastical, appeared for the moment to be in the ascendant. They won their victory, such as it was— " By superior energies, more strict Affiance in each other, faith more firm In their unhallowed principles." And now, when the better cause has recovered from its tem porary reverse, we speak not of mere political fluctuations, but of the change which during the last ten years has gradually come over the spirit of society, now, we hope to see that its champions have learned a lesson from the zeal and devotion of those who have opposed them, and that " Virtue Will, to her efforts, tolerate no bounds That are not lofty as her rights, aspiring By impulse of her own ethereal zeal." We therefore hail with delight every sign of energy and inde pendent action within the Church, and thank her gainsayers for the cry of alarm w hich teaches her to know the value of her own exertions by the very terror which they excite. We be lieve that in the Church the life of the nation emphatically re sides; and that (as some of the Radical party seem well aware) it is to the influence of her principles mainly that we must look for an antidote to the mass of moral and social difficulties which embarrass the course of good Government in this country. POST.—Among the plausible follies with which the Whig- Radical writers seek to mislead the public is their assertion that were the new policy of free trade to be carried into effect, it would bring back to this country a very great number of ab sentees who now live abroad for the sake of cheapness. In putting forth this proposition the Whig-Radicals of course assume, as usual, the complete success of their policy. The intention is to make everything much cheaper than it is at present, therefore it would be so if their measures were al lowed to pass. But what right have these people to assume that the thing which they intend to effect by their policy would be effected? Experience shows that heretofore they have al together failed to accomplish what they intended. They have been ten or eleven years in power, intending all the while to exhibit such wonderful capacity for popular Go vernment that the people would never submit to any other sway but theirs. And what is the result? Why, that the people are disgusted with them, and have withdrawn from them their Parliamentary support. The Whig-Radicals intended by the dissolution of Parlia ment greatly to strengthen their hands, and loudly insisted that this would certainly be the result. But this was all delu sion. Instead of their hands being strengthened they have been weakened. Instead of acquiring parliamentary predomi nance they have sunk into a Parliamentary minority. We mention such matters in order to show the excessive presump tion of these people, who, in the face of the plainest evidence that their speculations are doomed to disappointment,still affect to consider that what they pro pose to accomplish by their mea. sures certainly would be accomplished were their measures ap proved by theimitlature. As ta*ke. jggkeizt,atien of corn from foreign countries, 31r. Huskisson opir#On is upon record that whatever temporary cheapness might be produced by such a system, the ultimate effect would be scarcity and dearness. The opinion of Mr. Huskisson is more deserving of respect than that of the Whiz Radicals, who have become suddenly converted to free trade doctrines, when every other scheme by which they might hope to retain office was exhausted. HERALD.—That with a majority of some eighty, upon the gross returns of the general election over their Whig anta gonists, the Conservatives should, by this time, have looked into their muster-roll, and well considered who would be best calculated to discharge the principal trusts of official power with most advantage to the country and most honour to them• selves—was a course which must have been anticipated attheir hands, for some weeks past. A ccor di ng ly, several lists were, yesterday, handed about, in certain political sanctuaries in the immediate vicinity of Pall-mall and St. James's street which it has been our fortune to examine. Two of these we know to have emanated from quarters with every means and every probability of being well-informed on the contemplated ele ments which it is intended should enter into the constitution of the new Conservative Cabinet. In the list we quote from we find the following names and the corresponding offices respectively appropriated to them : Others which belong to those whom we deem less likely to be called, presently, to power, we purposely abstain from men tioning here. First Lord of the Treasury and Chancellor of the Exchequer— Sir Robert Peel. First Lord of the Admiralty—His Grace the Duke of Buck- ingham. Principal Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs—The Earl of Aberdeen. Lord Lieutenant of Ireland—Lord Wharncliffe. Principal Secretary of State for the Home Department—Right Bon. Henry Goulburn. Lord High Chancellor of England—Sir William Follett. Principal Secretary of State for the Colonies—Right Hon. Lord Stanley. President of the Council—His Grace the Duke of Wellington. The Speaker of the House of Commons—The Right Hort. C. Shaw Leferre (whose re-election it is said not to be intended to oppose). Secretary for Ireland—The Right Hon. Sir Harding. Other officers of State— The Lord High Chamberlain—His Grace the Duke of Beaufort. The Lord High Steward—The Earl of Liverpool. _ . The Master of the Horse—The Earl of Jersey. Her Majesty's Ambassador at Paris--Lord Lyndhurst. The greater part of there nominations must carry with them, we should say, the concurrence of every Conservative in these kingdoms. ADVERTISER.—The elections are now concluded. N o t one of the six hundred and fifty-eight vacancies created in the representation of the country by the recent dissolution of Par liament remains to be filled up. Of the comparative gains and losses of the fwo great parties into which the country is divided, it is not our purpose now to speak. Our present object is 'to point attention to some of the more important incidents which have characterised the violent electioneering conflict which is now concluded. We say, then, that never in the annals of election contests has an appeal to the country been attended by a greater amount of bribery, intimidation, and coercion, than has been the great party battle which has now been fought. Bribery has been the order of the day wherever the contests were expected to be close, . and the candidates had the means at their disposal of purchasing the suf frages of the constituency. And here it is worthy of remark, that so great a number of close and se vere contests as have taken place on the present occasion was never known to have occurred at any previous general election. Nor hare these equally balanced conflicts hcen confined to boroughs or counties containing only a limited constituency ; they have occurred in some of the largest constituencies in the kingdom. London, Leeds, and Dublin, are instances in point t as regards the representation of boroughs. The cases in i counties are too numerous to require or admit of a special re ference to them. In the populous cities we have already men tioned, namely,. London, Leeds, and Dublin, the fact of the prevalence of an extensive system of Tory bribery at the late elections was too notorious to be denied. But has bribery been limited to the Tory party? Oh, no. If they have proved themselves the greatest adepts on previous occasions at the base employment of compelling needy.constituents to commit a species of moral perjury against their own convictions, by holding out the—to them irresistible—temptation of handfuls of gold—the Whigs, on the.present occasion, when the necess'ry means were at their Isc to Lewes, have to disposal, have not been a w hit behind them in the work of cor rupntainmgethneo coothnestritpuleaneecsy of the country. lnpw we hold and , bribery on the part of the Ministerial ists was so open and genera l, that one might have almost fancied the parties were ambitiou s of ,inviting attention to their demo ralisingt the la Bothparties , elections, tietherefore, of wh o l esa l e b r ib ery , beo n eg equally practices a Ilygo iguilty., at wherever they possessed the means, and it was deemed practicable to carry their pointby an extensive purchase of the suffrages of the constituency. And so of the other unhallowed influences so often pressed into the service of either party, in violent election con tests. Coercion, menaces, and intimidation, in every possible shape and form that they could be made to assume, were em ployed, both by Tories and Whigs, to carry the election of the antagonist candidate. Ought such a state of things to be tole rated? Is is not making a mere mockery of Parliamentary re presentation ? Could anything b_e more insulting or disgrace ful to a c ountry calling itself free ? As for the poor creatures themselves who are thus compelled to vote in opposition to the dictates of their consciences, and at variance with their disposi flan, to confer on them the elective franehise is not only to Give t:irs iti.e—ba''''llaoltYsed tloom them to the worst of all degradation, degradation in their but it is to add mockery. to their degradation—the °wt.' eyes, but caltgtitiehmezifvreer fecencainnddethpeenodoernitd sees, electors, ha. t and hny attach : a t' c t h l i e r a itself.s s ore 1 1 0 op . mockiry . so forth, while a.... voting. te ox et hrceil extension zn l tg t e i nt n hs o ieon other The remedy for these frightful evils are the veriest slaves .

MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS. FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY. TIM ES. —Thepiem - lumTongold at Paris i 371 per mine, which at the English Mint price of 31. 17s. 10/d. per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 25. 33, and the exchange at Paris on London at short being 25. 421, it follows that gold is 0.3 S per cent, dearer in London than in Paris. By advices from Hamburgh the price of gold is 429 per mark, which, at the English Mint price of 3/. 17s. 10lAd. per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 13. 7, and the exchange at Hamburgh on London at short being 13. it follows that gold is 0.12 per cent. dearer in London than in Hamburgh. The course of exchange at New York on London is 108,- per cent., and the par of exchange between England and America being 109 23-40 per cent., it follows that the ex change is 0.82 per cent. against England. But the quoted exchange at New York being for bills at 60 days' sight, the interest must be deducted from the above difference. Some curiosity has been expressed in the City as to the deal ings of the fraternity who have so recently founded a minor Stock Exchange, and the sort of securities in which their busi ness is transacted, such curiosity chiefly arising from the anxiety felt by one-half of the world to know how the other half lives. The securities, it seems, consist partly of such as have been excluded from the regular markets by their utter worthlessness, and partly such as have only a nominal exist ence, a state of being which, to the upinitiate, will be ratker difficult to comprehend, but which may easil) be explained. For instance, a speculator, who is about to appear as a " bull" in the market, may search over an old file of newspapers for some project of a Company that has long been exploded, and when he has found one with a name to his liking, may rush into the market, and loudly declare that he is a buyer of some of the shares. There are probably no such shares in existence, but the attempt to buy makes an impression, the market becomes excited, and at last another speculator is found who is willing to make a price for the imaginary security, and thus a complete time bargain for nothing is struck, the difference to be settled on the usual nettling-day. The letters issued by railway and other companies in answer to applicants - for shares, are another source of business, and these letters, containing appropriations, pass from hand to hand as legitimate securities, and it must be admitted that these are the most valuable commodities dealt in by the "shut out." Among the stocks that have an existence, but are driven into this market through being repudiated by the Stock Exchange, Poyais Bonds are occasionally bought and sold. The fluctua tions in this market, as far as can be ascertained in the absence of an official list, generally range from about Id. to 3d. per share or bond, and it is thought that a retrograde movement of a whole sixpence in a day would probably produce a panic, if not in some instances a ruinous "bull" account, that is, when accommodation could not be pro cured by means of a document familiarly known as an I 0 U. The thactice of the Stock Exchange is imitated in full detail, and some of the more cautious of the operators are no strangers to the refinements of "puts" and " calls, ' and thus guard them selves from the consequences of any undue pressure. Of some of the operators curious anecdotes are told. One, for instance, is said to have carried the whole of his disposable capital in his right hand pocket, while the left hand pocket was specially ap propriated to the gains of the day, and his hat contained his collection of marketable securities. Now these minor dealers have formed themselves into a regular body, their greatest caution will be exercised in keeping out persons of too great opulence, since these, by buying up the marketable securities, and withstanding a panic, might eventu ally interrupt the ordinary course of business, and destroy all chance of profit by his more humble brethren, who rely solely on continual fluctuation. Thus, while other bodies generally require a guarantee that persons claiming to be ad mitted are of weight and responsibility, this fraternity must require a guarantee equally strong that a new member shall not be in too prosperous a condition; while with respect to those who are already recognised, it is doubtful whether, on their be coming too rich, it will not be advisable to have recourse to immediate expulsion. It is apprehended, however, that now they have established themselves in a regular place of meeting, their transactions will be confined to dealings with each other, and that they arc not open to offers by strangers, as they were when stationed in the places from which they took their name of " Alley-men." The members of the Stock Exchange ex press no dissatisfaction at the new formation, since, while their business-entrances were formerly blocked up by these loungers, they have now free ingress and egress. HERALD.—The failure of the eminent banking firm of Geymullcr and Co., of Vienna, the news of which appeared in the foreign department of yesterday's Herald, is calculated to work very extensive mischief, direct and indirectly, throughout the whole of Germany, if nowhere else. It may indeed be classed perhaps as a bank purely German in its dealings. Following so closely on the heels of the similar insolvency of Steiner and Co., another considerable firm of the same capital, it may be taken as evidence of some deeply-seated derange ment of the Money Market, the more special or immediate causes of which can yet be matter of little more than surmise. But there need be no hesitatien in stating that the real and substantial causes may be found in that frenzy of over-specu. lating and over-trading, which within these last four or five years, has successively invaded and convulsed the United States, Great Britain and France, from whence since the con tagion has extended to and over Central Germany, Prussia and Austria. A great part of Germany and Austria have been inundated with pieces of paper, called Shares, which now represent little or no value at all. In the meantime the Bank of Vienna as well as other banks or capitalists began to take the alarm, and curtail credits and discounts. With credit money became scarce, and specie or bullion was hoarded. Hence the failures of Geymuller and Co. and Steiner and Co., • which, anxiously deprecating alarm nevertheless, it is still necessary, from re gard to truth, to say are likely to be followed by many more, before the evil has run out its course and money and commer cial affairs shall be restored to a healthy action. SUN.—There was less activity in the Funds to-day, and before the close of business Consols for immediate transfer gave way about A per cent. The Market upon the whole, how ever, remained about the same. Consols were 894 to I for Money, and 90 to 894 for Account. Exchequer Adis were 16e. to 13s. premium, being barely so good. East India Bonds were steady at 6s. premium. Bank Stock rose to 171 and 1714 ; and India Stock to 249 and 249:1. 'f he New Three and-a-Half per Cents. were 9c3ii to L, and the Three per Cents., 90 to 90,1. The failure at Vienna of Guy Muller and Co., which is said to have entailed loss upon one or two wealthy firms in the City, has occasioned, to a partial extent, the flatness in the public securities, although no apprehension of serious consequences here is entertained in the City, as the firms upon which the loss falls are well able to bear it, arid a great deal more. Reports injurious to the credit of an emi nent publishing firm in the City were in circulation to-day, and which we fear are but too well founded. The party thus placed in difficulties is distisguished, we under stand, by his liberality and enterprise, and from his extensive trade and peculiar facilities, was thought to be a person of considerable property. As much as six months back however, he was reported in difficulties, but it was understood he had received assistance to carry on his affairs, and the pre sent stoppage has in all probability been brought about by the numerous minor failures recently in the same trade. The Foreign Securities were scarcely so buoyant to-day, and the disposition was rather to sell. Active Spanish Bowls were marked 20 to 4; Portuguese New Five per Cents 30k to 4; the Three per Cents. 184 • Mexican 25i to ; Colombian 19 4 ; and Brazilian 674. The irench Five per Omits. were 115 f. 75c. being a slight improvement • Dutch Two-and-a-Half I . er Cents. brought 51 4 to ; and the Five per Cents. 101 to 1014. The material improvement which occurred yesterday in many of the lines of Railway that have recently been so de. pressed, tempted some parties to realise profits to-day, but the Market was too weak to bear much of this, and consequently the quotations gave w ay, and prevented any, extensive business being done. Great Western Railway Shares were at 21 to 194, the New at 10 to 9, and the Fifths .5.1- to 6 premium. South Western were at 164 premium, and York And North Midland 23 premium. Brighton Shares were 74. Croydon 1, Manchester and Leeds 13, and North Midland 32 discount. British North American Bank Shares obtained 44 discount. We are sorry to notice that the Foreign Exchanges were again heavy to-day, and generally a shade lower. Thus Bills on Paris were quoted at 25f. 65e. to 60f. ; on Amsterdam 12 44 to 4 ; on Antwerp, 12 3A to 4; on Hamburgh, 13 9 too; on Frankfort, 150; arid on Trieste 9 56 to 58. The exportation of the precious metals from the port of London, during the week endin w „, last Thursday, was 31,000 ounces of silver coin to Hamburgh, 459,000 ounces to Calcutta, and 7,500 to ,Ro't.erdam. Of gold the shipments were 990 ounces to Rotterdam. At the meeting of the Committee of Spanish Bondholders, held on the 19th inst., several resolutions were agreed to ; among others—that they cannot relinquish the belief that it is in the power of Spain to pay 5 per cent. upon the New Stock, nor can they recommend the admission of less to the bond holders ; that they have heard with surprise that the payment of interest on the coupons converted is regularly made to the stockholders in Madrid, while the English stockholders are excluded ; that they consider the claim of the foreign holder stronger; that until the decrees of the Spanish Government j are officially communicated it would be premature to summon a I general meeting.

VREVALENCE OF A DISTRESSING DISEASE. —From accurate estimation it appears that the afflicting complaint of hernia, or rupture, exists in one person in eight throughout the whole male population of the king dom, and in a much greater proportion among the la bouring classes in the manufacturing districts, and those employed on the water as boatmen. In one district in the western part of England, comprising 200,000 inha bitants, it has been recently ascertained by actual ob servation, that one in every 'five of the population la boured under the malady. _ GREGARIOUS SPIDERS:--Upon the banks of the Amazon, spiders, which are solitary in Europe and Asia, live in congregated societies of several thousands, Taking possession of a tree, they unite in forming R net entirely over it. When this net is completed, they take their several stations; each secures its own prey without disturbance; each labours for itself; but in case of damage to their net, they labour to repair it for their general good. MORTALITY AMONG LEECHES DURING STORMS.—That atmospheric changes have a remarkable in fluence on leeches is a well-known fact. Last summer, M. Derhelms, of St. Omer, ascribed the almost sudden death of them, at the approach of, or during storms, to the coagulation of the blood of these creatures, caused by the impressio►► of the atmospheric electricity. This opinion, which at that time was the result of theory, he confirmed during the present summer by direct exFtrimerit, THE MORMONS. Mormonism is not in so full feather as it was snpposed to be in Illinois. The Governor of that State has removed Bennett, the Mormon Adjutant-General, from his office, and Joe himself is in gaol in Missouri. Joe, however, recently issued a long " State paper" to his brotherhood of boobies, which is publiShed in some of the papers. The following in his proclamation to the " outside bar barians."

Eynard, of Geneva, has addressed a letter to the members of the former Greek Committees of Switzerland, Germany, France, and other eountrie., in which, after rec a pit u l at i ng t h e general grievances of the Christian inhabitants of Candia since 1821, and pointing out the grounds upon which they are now making their stand against the Turks, he claims sympathy for the Candiotes, and he says that a service would be rendered, not only to them, but even to the Porte, if Candia could be united to the kingdsm of Greece, under condition of paying an annuli tribute to the Porte, and that at all events the mas sacres of the inhabitants should cease. " The last news I have received from Candia," M. Eynard adds, " mention several combats ' • blood has been s h e d on b o th s id es ; th e Ch r i st i ans have had the upper hand, they have taken some cannons, and, though there are as yet no positive results, it is an immense advantage to have resisted with such small means against troops numerous and well armed." The same gentle man has published a letter addressed to the Debats, which contains some observations upon an article given by that journal a short time since in favour of the Christians in the East. The purport of this communication is to state that M. Eynard coincides with the Debats in recommending that France, in common with the other powers of Europe, should not take the part of the Christian insurgents against the Porte, but should use all her influence to induce, and, if need be, forcc'the Porte to treat the Christian populations, subjected to its authority, with justice and kindness, to grant to them better conditions of government than they now enjoy, toge ther with a more liberal system of administration, and the real enjoyment of civil rights. This journal also inserts a Erman, addressed by the Porte to all Pachas Governors of provinces, which is to the sane effect as the circular issued after the grant ing of the hatti-scheriff of Gulhane, strictly enjoining them to show the strictest impartiality towards all the Christian subjects of the Sultan, and protect them from all insults. " The Paris Assocatlion," says the Gazette de France, " formed in December last, for watching the progress of affairs in the East, and for aiding the Christians, held a general meet ing on Thursday, and resolved that a deputation should be sent to M. de Chateaubriand, (President of the Central Com mittee, urging him to call another meeting, and also to wait upon M. Laffitte and M. Lasteyrie, members of the old Greek Committee, and entreat them to become part of the new Central Committee. In addition to the personages whose names we have already given, Messrs. Arago, Odilon Barrot, and Masi guin, the Duke de Fitzjames, the Illarquis de Laroche- Jacquelin, and Admiral Lalande, have become members of this Association." The Candian Committee at Athens has circulated the follow ing statements, dated 3f)th ult.:— " For nearly two months, active hostilities have been car ried on between the Turks and the Greeks of Candia. In every conflict. the Turks have been compelled to retreat, but have avenged themselves on the peaceable and helpless pea santry. Thus, after being beaten by a detachment of insur gents under the brave Basilacogiorgi, they set fire to three villages in the defile of Heraclium, massacred all the men, women, and children, and committed other atrocities. Many of the victims were killed in the churches to which they had fled for refuge, and which were profaned by the unbridled ex cesses of the soldiery. Ten years ago, the high Powers had just cause for delivering Candia from the yoke of the barba rians, but a certain-good will towards the Paella of Egypt, and a reliance upon the spirit of civilisation and tolerance falsely attributed to him, probably induced the diplomatist', who raised Greece once more into a kingdom, to have Candia under Ottoman domination. We are astonished at seeing Christian powers maintain the Turks, those labourers for the brutalization of mankind, in possession of one of the great Islands of Europe, when they might be driven out by a single line of a protocol. Will they now suffer this Christian people to be crushed under the enormous weight of their enemies, because they cannot resign themselves to an odious slavery ? Will Europe, who sends her missionaries with copies of the Holy Gospel of Christ into all parts of the world, suffer the churches within her own circle to be thrown down, and thousands of Christians to perish under the barbarities of the Turks? Certainly not !or justice, national religion, huma nity, and the Christian virtues, will become vain and empty words." A letter from Candia, says the Constitutionn el, states that the insurgent directory has issued an order prohibiting the Christians from cutting off the heads or otherwise mutilating the bodies of their enemies left on the field of battle. It is added, that the prisoners are humanely treated by the Chris• tians, and employed on fortifications in the mountains. The insurgent Candiotes, according to a Constantinople corre spondent of the Semaphore, have bought seventeen merchant vessels, which they intend to fit out to act against the Turks. EXPERIMENTS WITH PERCUS- SION SHELLS. Wootwich, JULY 20.—At half-past one o'clock to-day, notwithstanding the unfavourable state of the weather, the rain occassionally descending in torrents, a detachment of the Royal Artillery, under the command of Major Belson, attended in the marshes to make further experiments with the percussions invented by Mr. Wilkinson, Mr. Napier and Mr. Reece. Major-General Drummond, C. 8., Director-General of the Royal Artillery, and Lieut.-Colonel Dundas, C. 8., and Major Chalmer were present. Captain Belson hiving charge of the guns, Lieutenant Dalton was directed to see that the river was clear, and to report on the effeet of the shells at the bulwark. No. 1. A 32-pounder shell, invented by Mr. Wilkinson, struck the bulwark, and went through the second erection, ex ploding and entering the earth of the butt, immediately behind the object aimed at. No. 2. A 68-pounder shell, invented by Mr. Napier, on the word of command being given, and the hammer being pulled. missed fire. Mr. Reece 's 32-pounder shell was then fired, and entered as No. 1. On this occasion the shell appeared to ex. plode about 80 yards before it reached the bulwark, and it was the opinion of Lieut.-Col. Dundas that the shell burst in the air, and of Mr. Reece, and others, that the shell had grazed the ground before it exploded. No. 3. Mr. Napier's 68-pounder shell, on being fired, struck Ithe bulwark and exploded betwixt the two erections, scattering the fragments eastward and westwards to an extent of several hundred yards. No. 4.. Mr. Wilkinson's struck the bulwark and went through both erection., and burst on entering the earth of the butt after it had gone some depth. No. 5. Mr. Napier's struck the bulwark and went through both erections, and entered the earth of the butt, but did not 'burst. No. 6. Mr. Reece's gun, in compliance with his request, was elevated considerably in its range, to such a degree, in the opinion of Major Chalmer, as would cause the shell to go over the butt altogether, and proceed onwards into the river. On being fired the shell went through the first bulwark, exploding immediately afterwards, and scattering the fragments in the interior betwixt the two, tearing the wood to pieces, and lodg ing deeply in the erection in the rear, exhibiting a very satis factory proof of the force of the explosion and certainty of effect. No. 7. Mr. Wilkinson's shell went through both bulwarks and exploded in the butt. No. 8. Mr. Napier's shell went through the bulwark and exploded betwixt the erections. No. 9. Mr. Reece's shell exploded in the butt after having passed through both erections. No. 10. Mr. Wilkinson's shell exploded almost immediately on emerging from the mouth of the gun, the pieces spreading over an immense range, several fragments having passed within about five or six yards of the spot where Lieutenant Dalton and the gunners and drivers who attended tonotice the effect of the shot were standing, and the distance could not have been less than from 180 to 200 yards to the eastward in front of the bulwark. No. 11. Mr. Napier's shell passed through both erections and entered the earth of the butt without exploding. Mr. Reeve having no more shells, did not fire at this round. The experiments with percussion shells having been con cluded for the present, the result has been such as, to afford this country great cause of satisfaction, so far as our su periority as a nation possessing the most powerful engines of destruction in a military point of view is concerned, as it has been proved that we have the means of defence or punishment to those who might attack us. When the experi ments with percussion shells were made last year in France, it was ascertained that, under the most favourable circumstances, not one in four exploded ; but, by the experiments made in Woolwich Marshes, it has been demonstrated th a t un d er every circumstance the hells invented by Mr. Reece have ex, ploded without fail, although they have been about eight months lying in the Royal Arsenal, the same period as Mr. Napier's and Mr. Wilkinson's. Out of Mr. Napier's seven five exploded, and out of Mr. Wilkinson's seven, three or four exploded, one being doubtful on the previous occasion. The result of the experiments to-day render it probable that from some variation in the marking of the degrees of the ele vation of the guns from which Mr. Wilkinson's shells were fired, they might have grazed the ground, and caused the ex plosions as they have been reported.

CITY AND BOROUGH ELECTOR. The 20th of Jul): being the last day allowed by th: - . Reform Act for paying the poor's-rates and window -tat, in order to qualify the occupiers of 101. houses, &c. be upon the forthcoming register, we beg to call the at tention of persons who have not paid their pool's -rates to the following, viz.:— That 'it is only necessary to have paid those poor's rates which were demanded by the collector, or the per son from whom the rates were due, or by a written or printed paper left at his residence previous to the 6th of April last, which alone constitute a legal demand. The Reform Act requires that all rates pa cable Before the 6th of April should be paid on or before the 20th of July, and the Revising Barristers have decided that for a rate to be payable it must hare been demanded. IL is true that all poor's-rates are due as soon as made, but they are not payable until they have been demanded, excepting in those parishes where by . a Local Act the rate is declared to be payable at any given time—as in the parish of St. James, Westminster, whore the rate which is made every Easter Tuesday is declared to be payable as soon as made, but Easter Tuesday being the 16th of April this year, it does not become necessary that that rate should be paid in order to be qualified to be on the register for this parish. In the parishes of St. George, St. John, and St. Mar garet Westminster, the rates are made in advance for the whole year, and are due as soon as made, but col lected by instalments ; therefore, if all rates due were also payable, the instalments, which will not be de-. manded until the 25th of December, should have . b.1.-eit paid. Ten-pound hoitseholderS, &c., need pay no . othex poor's-rates than those legally demanded of them before the 6th of April ; but they must pay on or be'fore the 20th of July the window -tax, due on the 6th of April, whether it has been demanded or not. The pay - rtient of no other rate or tax being necessary for the purpose of registration. -cot and lot voters need pay no taxes or other rate than the poor's-rate demanded of them before the 31st of July. In parishes where the poor's-rate was made previotwly to the Gth of April, and not demanded by the collector until after that time, it is not necesssary that it should txt paid. As in the parish of Lambeth, where the rate was made on the 30th of March last, but not put into the hands of the collector until after the 6th of April, and Could not, therefore, have been demanded. The . overseers, no doubt, ttot knowing these distinct , tions, leave the names of-persons entitled to be on the register, off their lists published on the church ad chapel doors on the two first Sundays in August. it is therefore important that all such persons !Ne omitted should send in a claim to be registered betyvvey the Ist and 25th days of August. SLAVERY. TO HOPE IL SLAITGIITEI?, SLAVE TIZADEI BALTIMOIIR Since thou courteously, ,allowed me, in company viith my friend, John G. Whittier, to vi s it thy slave estahhsli ment in the city of Baltimore, a few weeks since, I have often felt a desire to address a few lines to thee. I need not, perhaps, say that my feelings were painfully exer cised in looking jArt over thy buildings, fitted up with s and bars for th reception of human beings for Bale ; a sense of the misery and suffering of the unfortunate slaves who have, from time to time, been confined there, of their separation :rom home and kindred, of the dreary prospect before them of a life of unrequited toil in the south and south-west, rested heavily upon me.. I could there realise the true nature of the system of slavery. I was in a market-house for human flesh, where humanity is degraded to a level with the brute, and where children of our common Father in heaven, and for whom our blessed Redeemer offered up the atoning sacrifice of his blood, were bargained for and sold like beasts that perish. And when I regarded thee, as the merchalit in this dreadful traffic, and heard thee offer remarl,:s. - which might be considered as, in some degree, an apology for thy business, calling our attention to the cleanly state of the apartments, the wholesome provi sions, &c., and, especially when I he ar d th ee d ec l are th at thou hadst been educated by a pious mother; that Shoe west never addicted to swearing or other immoralities, and. that thy business was a legalized one ; that thou didst nothing contrary to law, and that while in thy.pos session the poor creatures were treated kindly, aid* families were not separated,* &c., I was glad to percare some evidence that the nature of thy employment had not extinguished the voice of conscience within thee. In thy sentiments, and in the manner of their utterance, I thought I could see that -truth had not left itself with out a witness in thy breast ; 'and that A sense of the wrongfulness. of thy occupatiOn still disturbed thee. To thy remelt, that thy. business was necessary to the system of slavery, and an tsential part of it, and that if slave-holding was to be just - Ifmk at all, the slave trade must be also, I certainly can offer no valid objection, for I have never been able to discern any moral difference between the planter of Virginia and the slave dealer of Baltimore, Richmond, and 'Washington. Each has his part to act in the system, and each is necessary to the other. And if the matter, in all its bear ings, were not painfully serious, it would be amus ing', to witness the absurd contempt with whicsh the slave owner of Maryland or Virginia, professes to look upon the trader whose purchitse of his surplus slaves , . alone ? enables him to retain the residue in his possession, for it seems very evident that the only profitable part of the systcm in these states, at the present time, is the sale of the annual increase of the slaves. In passing fronl thy premises, we looked in upon the triennial contention of the Baptists of the United'States, then in Session. the city of Baltimore, where I found slave-holding minis ters, of a 'high rank in the church, urging successfully the exclusion from the Missionary Board of that Society all those who, in principle and practice, were known to be decided abolitionists •, andthe result: of their efforts satisfied me, that the darkestlicture of slavery is not to be found in the slave jail of the trader, but rather in a convocation of professed ministers of the Gospel of Christ, expelling from the Board of a Society formed to enlighten the heathen of other nations, all who consist ently labour for the overthrow of a system which denies a knowledge of the Holy Scriptures to three millions - of heathens at home ! Bet allow me in a spirit, as I trust, of Christian kind ness, to entreat thee not to seek excuses for thy own course in the evil conduct ot'•others. Thou hast already reached the middle period of life. the future is uncertain. By thy hopes of peace here and hereafter let me urge thee„ to abandon this occupation. It is not necessary to arguer intrinsic wickedness, for thou knowest it already. I would, therefore, beseech thee to listen to that voice, which I am persuaded some times urges thee to put away the evil of thy doing,i, t.; "do justly and love mercy," and thus. cea4 tb dras down upon thyself the curse which fell upon those mer chants of Tyre who " traded in the persons of men." That these' warnings of 'conscience may not be longer neglected on thy part, is the sincere wish of one who, while he abhors this occupation, feels nothing but kind ness and good .will towards thyself. JOSEPH STURGE, of Birmingham, England. New York, Gth mo., 30th, Wft. * The latter remark of course applies only to the time they remained with thee, for on the day we visited thy establishment, a friend with whom I was dining, informed me that a few days before, a woman and child had been sold to thee, whose husband and father waft a free man, who, in his distress, had offered to bind himself for a term of years,in order to raise the sum (I think $800) demanded for them, but as he had been unable to do so, my friend had no doubt they had been sent off with the very lot of slaves, which, we were told by thyself, had just been forward , d to New Orleans froth thyprison. Who is most guilty in this atrocious transaction;the slave owner who sold thee the woman and child at Baltimore; thou, the transporter of them for ever from their husband twidvareat, the purchaser of the mother and child, at New Orleans, where they may be for ev,;, separated from each other, nr the ;citizen who, by his rots de influence, creates and upholds euactments which legalise this monstrous system, i s known only to him. before whom tbe secrets of all hear are revealed. a_ n . e i le , "l ; rtmy Y. :l o Nt)ll E )ec a E r l of COURT CIRCULAR• l'::::: CirhuanseDeltlorr. weather has prevented the Royal part• at the Castlefrom l a t i a l c \e C a o r i ri iii N t • e ec s i s to- f d aCyhtomn —The unfavourable state 'Of-tbe taking their 'usual rides and driVOS to-day. her r o r t: ‘h e r t ta y rl , The Marquis of licadfort has liceee' l le I t ft n a do i n i , sit ai t i o d h ue s ei broom Fingal] as the Lord in Waiting on the ,. c, 1, ald Sir Frederick Stovin has succeeded Mr. Bich a. , the The noble Earl and Mr. in Waiting on her MajestY. .

In the Surrey Zoological Gardermnke,several serpents, amtongst which is an enormous boa, measuring upwards of twenty feet in length, and weighing in, re than two hundred weight. It is usual for the keepers to bathe thrm 'occasion ally, and by every means to endeavour to tame them, and from time to time it is n o uncommon t hi ng f or one of the men in the habit of doing so to go into their room, or cage, and clean it, whilst two large constrictors lie coiled up in a corner. Those who have ben at the gardens must know that the serpents' room is ne ar t h e pond, and that they are enclosed in divisions of about six—feet by four, with plate glass fronts, for the purpose of exhibition. Their fuod—livee rabbits—is put into thcs rooms .by a sliding pannel, which one of the keepers, named Blaekburn, was in the act of doing, when the enormous boa sprung ,it -him and seized him by the arm. The man leapt. backwards., and drew the serpent partly out of the cage, which immediately spun round him like a wind lass, and made one coil. Had he effected another, Blackburn would have been inevitably killed, and perhaps partly swallowed before it was discovered, he being at the time alone, and without any on. immediately near him ; but by pressing the throat of the powerful creature, and by more then usual strength, he was preserved. Having shut the slide, on reaching the other keepers, from the conflict in Which he had been engaged; the 4I 0 poor fellow fainted; and on beirig taken home, was found tou be very mch discoloured from the powerful p ressure o f hi s terrific antagonist.
