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 alto; ether 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 r esu l t f rom t h e pract i ces 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 disease 3, which aris e from cert ain secret practices, can only be acqui re d b y an '.ex clusive and un di v i ded attentionto this department of medical rocea of practice. Th e num b erless instances daily occurring affections of th e l ungs , putt i ng on all the outer r ap t n p g e e a i ' r a whereina consumption, whi c h, h owever , when traced to h are found to re su lt f rom certa i n b aneful practices, fully s p uree, ove that the principl e o f th e di v i s i on o f l a b our, is nowhere r me s applicable than in medical practi ce . W e feel no hesitation 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.

Walked ANTI-CORN -LAW CONFERENCE. MANCUESTER, AUGUST 18. The following is an account of the proceedings of Tuesday con. tinued from The Sun of yesterday. Mr. CGBDEN, M.P., on being introduced said, h' pever addressed an assemblage of such vast importance, and he came before them as the representative of the Anti-Corn-law League, to explain the grounds upon which that body advocated the Repeal_ of the Corn and Provision-laws, and to give evidence in the cause, and that was to consist of facts.—((;heers.) When about two years ago the members of the L: ague assembled at Manchester to take the effect of the Corn.laws into consideration, they decided, on the unalter. able principles of truth 'and justice, that no tax uptin the food of the people was just.—(Hear, hear.) There were many there well acquainted with the working of those laws, but there were others to whom a general view of the arguments by which they had arrived at that conclusion might not be unacceptable.—(Hear.) It was calculated that on an average every family throughout the land consumed an equal quantity of bread. If there was any difference, the poorer the family the greater was the con • somption.—(hear, hear.) From the evidence brought before the Hand - loom Committee, it appeared that the class of working men who earned on the average 10s. a week, spent 55. upon bread. It might be computed that at least the bread-tax raised the price of bread forty per cent., and at that rate the amt unt of the tax upon bread paid by those families was 2s. out of the ss. That was the weekly tax upon the bread of the families of the labour. ing community. The better-paid mechanics, who earned, on an average, 20s. a week, spent no more upon bread than the humblest classes. Their proportion of the tax was, therefore, much less in proportion to their income. Those families who earned 21. a week spent the same amount on bread, and their bread.tax was only about 5 per cent. To go higher still, to the middle classes of society, with incomes of 51. a week, they would pay about 2 per cent. ; but if they went to the highest of all, the noble man or the " tnillionare," for the amount of tax paid by the n in proportion to their incomes, they must go to the smallest coin used in the country.—(Hear, hear.) Thus the Duke, with Isis. '200,000/. a year, paid not a thousandth part of his income. Now, if it was proposed for the purposes of revenue to lay a tax upon income, and twenty per cent. was to be laid upon the incomes of the poorest families, ten per cent, upon those a little better off, five per cent, upon the class next above them, anal so on, mounting upwards to the Duke, who would be required to pay but the thou. sandth part, would not nachpalpable injustice give rise to a burst ofaiudignat loan- thvagh";46oo,o , -tandl-aa (Hear, hear.) That, how ever, would be for the benefit of the country; but here was this unequal tax upon the poor, for the benefit of the rich.—(Hear, hear.) Under no Government in the world was the like to be found. Even in Egypt, and that was the worst of all, there was no bread.tax.—(Hear, hear.) No Continental despot had dared to do it, and neither would it have been done in England, if it was understood by the people.—(Loud cheers.) These, and such as these, were the reasons which gave rise to the forma tion of the National Anti.Corn.law League.—(Great cheering.) The fallacy that a repeal of the Corn-laws would lower wages, had been answered and exploded a thousand times, but it was still in. dustrioasly propagated. It was a fundamental error ; and a more mistaken and monstrous idea was never entertained.—(Cheers.) They put a check upon industry at home; they refused a benefi cial interchange of commodities with foreign nations ; and shut out our commerce under the pretenceof keeping up the wages of the poor. W.,:ges were not higher in England than abroad. If they were, how could they (the manufacturers) sell their products cheaper in the Continental market ? The error arse front corn. paring the time, but not the quantity. It was like putting a weight of fourteen stone upon the back of a good racer, and com pelling him to run against another with only sevens stone.—(Hear, hear.) How was it that so many thousands of our me. chanics went abroad 7 Would they do that if they could find bet ter employm nt at home?—(Hear, hear.) They should legislate to raise the price of men's labour.— (Hear, hear.) In Nottingham. shire, those who earned 18s. per week when the Corn.laws came into operation perfor.ned less labour than now, when their wages were only Bs. a week ; and in the branch of manufactures to which he alluded there had been no disturbing cause whatever. Close upon the borders of that shire a young nobleman had recently de clared that the Legislature must keep rip the price of corn to 565. per qu cater. The landowner insisted upon passing a law to double the price of food, but would do nothing to raise the price of labour. -- (Loud cries of " Hear, hear.") They were told that it would be dangerous to depend upon foreigners, but in his opinion it would be the surest guarantee of peace, and for the per formance of our duty as Christians, by carrying out the golden rule, to do unto others as you would be done unto.—(Cheers.) He never travelled in any country but he found that the best of their commodities, and the choicest of their luxuries were going to Eng. lano ; but how was it on the plains of Poland or the prairies of America 1 Why was not the corn whirls was rotting there going to England 1 They were told that there was a law to prevent it. — (Hear, hear.) Was it not a mighty injustice that not one ounce could be brought to England in exchange for the fruits of the in dustry and skill of our artisans.—(Hear, hear.) They had heard much of the effect of repeal on the agricultural labourers ; he had seen many from the agricultural districts, and if it could be shown that they received as much wages as his unskilled artisans he would give up the question.—(Loud cheers.) If the la. bourers fly from the country to the towns, did not that prove what he had said ?—(Loud cheers.) But they were told of the hardship of manufacturing labour, and of the oppression practised by the masters; but why had those who told them so es. tablished agents in Manchester to bring the surplus labourers there ? If they (the manufacturers) were such fiends as had been r, presented, what must they be who had established agents in Man. chester to bring their surplus rural population amongst them?— (Tremendous cheering.) And what would they have to answer for by imposing the bread-tax upon them into the bargain, which took from them one-third of all they earned 7—(Renewed cheering.) If a tax was necessary to secure the cultivation of the land, let it be paid directly, and not taken from the poor by such underhand methods. After several witty exposures of the fear, so ofte❑ cx. Pressed, of the land being thrown out of cultivation by a repeal of the Corn .laws, the Honourable Member sat down amidst reiterated cheering. Several ministers from the manufacturing districts then de. tailed statements of the most appalling distress which had come under their personal observation, the subtance of which, it is un. derstood, a i'l be immediately prepared for publication. The Conference broke up at a late hour. This morning (Wednesday) the Conference was, if possible, more numerously attended than on the preceding day, and the space allotted to the public was thronged by persons who seemed to take a deep intereq in the proceedings. The chair was taken by the Rev. Mr. Chaplin, the Chairman of the day, who expressed his pleasure in filling the office to which he was appointed, and de. Glared his conviction of the justice and humanity of ths cause in which the Conference was engaged. Mr. Cums, a gentleman from the United States, then ad dressed the meeting. Ile felt it a privilege, as a lover of man kind, to ergage iti such a cause as this. As a patriot, also, he felt it a privilege, because his country was interested in the question. It was unnecessary to dilate on the great advantage that would result to both countries from a free trade in Corn. In America their garners were full to overflowing, and all they wanted was a mart for their superabund ant food. The Americans came with their food to England, and the starving mechanics stood on the shore with their manufactures in their hands, anxious to exchange them for food, but a monstrous law interposed and prohibited the useful and necessary barter. The wheat-glowing district of the United States contains 178,000,000 of acres. Here was field to supply the wants of England If the Americans were allowed, they would furnish food for the whole British people. It might, however, be said, that the cost of the transmission from the United States would enhance the price so rtroh, that the people of this country would be unable to get it at a reasonable price. That was not the case. American flour might be sold in the Englisb market at 475. a quarter. The advocates of the Corn.law said it would be necessary to reduce wages in order to allow of manufactures being sold cheaply. That was a mistake. The Americans did not want English goods cheaper. All they desired was that they should be at liberty to exchange their food for our manufactures; and, if that were allowed, the warehouses of Manchester would speedily be cleared out at the present prices. The restrictive policy of Eng land created a similar spirit in America, and the people of the latter country flit that restriction was a game which two could play at. It was a complete fallacy to allege that high wages ac cotnpanied high-priced food. In America, the reverse of this pro position was demonstrated. There a mechanic earned 4s. 6d. a day, and the price of wheat was only 275. a quarter. They could get beef, bacon, and pork for three.halfpence a pound ; and thus a man could obtain a week or a fortnight's food for a single day's labour. It ought not to be lost sight of, that the abolition of the bread-tax in England would ha ve an important bearing on the question of the extinction of slavery in the United States. At present England took double the quantity of produce from the slave states of America that she did from the free labour states, be. cause the latter happened to be the wheat producing district, and the English Corn-law prevented the introduction of their staple produce into this country. The Rev. Dr. VAUGHAN came forward to move this resolution : " That this Conference, drawn together from various parts of the United Kingdom, by a general conviction of the existence of long continued and still increasing distress affecting the community at large, and bearing with peculiar severity on the industrious classes, finds this conviction deeply confirmed by various statements and documentary evidence now laid before them, which clearly prove that vast numbers are incapable of obtaining by their labour a suffi ciency of the common necessaries of life for the support of them. selves and their families." The Rev. Mr. ROBERTSON seconded the resolution in a brief but energetic address. The Rev. Mr. HINDLEY stated some facts which exhibited a melancholy picture of the distressed condition of the population in the neighbourhood of Wigan. Within the compass of three miles round Wigan there were no less than 3,000 persons out of em ployment. Some years ago, when Mr. Macaulay was speaking in the House of Commons, some one asked him what he proposed to do with trade. His reply was, "Let it alone." There was wis. dom•in that remark, and happy would it be for this country if it were acted on. The resolution was then unanimously adopted. The Rev. Mr. PARSONS had ascertained from personal inquiries that the operatives in his neighbourhood (Hebley in Gloucester. shire) received at present only half the wages they obtained before the Corn-law came into baneful operation, and yet they could ob. tain only half work. It had frequently occurred to him to know that numbers of his congregation absented themselves from Sab bath , worship because they had not a penny to purchase soap wherewith to wash themselves. Last winter ten beds were taken to the pawnbrokers to obtain the means of purchasing food. Houses were untenanted, and looms standing still in all directions. At the present moment, in the village of King's Langley, only sixty-nine looms were employed out of 182. The Rev. Gentleman concluded by animadverting on th e good fortune of the people of England, in having for their s overe i gn a woman and a mother, who sympathised with their w an t s. T h i s allusion produced a burst of enthusiasm from the Conference, in which the lay spectators heartily joined. He then moved the fol lowing resolution : " That in the judgment of this Conference, the prevailing dis. tress painfully tends to arrest the progress of education—to pre- vent the exercise of domestic and social affection—to Induce reck. less and immoral habits—to prevent attendance on religious wor. ship, and to harden the heart against religious impressions." The Rev. Mr. BURY, of Leicester, said he had attended the Con ference at the express request of his congregation, every member of which was in favour of the free trade propositions of the Govern ment, which they approved of as leading to the total abolition of all restrictions in the market for food. Ile could scarcely listen with patience to the absurd arguments which were urged in defence of the corn monopoly. The distress existing at L e i cester at the present moment exceeded and thing of the kind within recollec. tion, and fiom being one of the most thriving towns in the king. dom, it was rapidly sinking into the condition of the most wretched. A respectable manufacturer had informed him, that unskilled work men in Leicester are unable to earn more than fis. or 7s. per week, after working fourteen hours a day; whilst skilful workmen cannot obtain more than 96., 106., or I Is. per week. From the census recently taken, it appears that there are 1,100 houses in the town unoccupied. Allowing five persons to each house, here were untenanted dwellings sufficient for the accommodation of one_ fifth of the population of Leicester ! A fearful indication of the decline of social prosperity. The nephew of an influential hosier, who recently returned from Saxony, declared that he had seen in one district of that kingdom more stocking frames than were to be found' in Leicester at the present moment. This gentleman said that he formerly carried on a lucrative business with Belgium, " but," added he, that branch of trade is now lost to us, and, I fear for ever !" Another gentleman showed him some gloves made in Germany, imported into London, after paying 20 per cent, duty, sent dowts to Leicester, and sold there for 2s. 81. per dozen. They could not be made in England for the money, allowing nothing for the profit of the manufacturer and retailer. He concluded by secondi t.g the resolution. The resolution was then unanimously agreed to; after which the meeting adjourned till four o'clock. At four o'clock the Conference re-assembled, and the Rev. Mr. Spencer addressed the audience in an admirable speech. He was followed by several other clergymen. The Earl of Duc►s, being introduced by the Chairman, ad. dressed the Conference at the close of the proceedings on Tuesday afternoon. We regret we cannot find room for his spent), but the following remark deserves notice•—l can only add (said his Lord ship) from my own experience in agriculture, from my own know. ledge, and what I can glean from those whose opinions I consider the best, that so far from an alteration in the present Corn-laws tending:in any way to throw land out of cultivation, the more pro. Wide result will be to bring more land into cultivation, and that cultivation, too, of a higher character.— (Hear.) POLITICAL SUMMARY OF THE EVENING PAPERS. The Globe severely reprehends the Times for its pro fligate inconsistency of opinion - as regards the present Corn-laws. It shows that the Times, while it admits the present system to be injurious to the interests of Britain as a commercial country, with characteristic public spirit recommends, that it had better be left to work its way, rather than disturb the quiet of Sir Robert Peel by exciting popular attention to its operations, or compel Conservatives to violate those deluding promises to the Monopolists, on the faith of which they were returned to Parliament. The Courier, in a very plethoric article, attempts to attack the whole Whig school of politics for their con stant and strenuous exposure of the Anti-Corn-law falla cies, and, with a feebleness of argument matched only by ' its, own fictitious statements, foolishly seeks to grapple with Leviathan. A. boisterous atfilek iirfin4Vmade upon • Mr. Cobden, of the Manchester Conference, whose alleged perversions of truth are superlatively eclipsed by the ab surdities and falsehoods of his reviewer. The Standard is angry at the presumptuous opportu nities taken by the Whig press of ascribing actions and motives to her Majesty, which the Standard considers her wholly incapable of, and runs full tilt at the assertion of the Chronict: upon the Queen's absence from Parlia ment, that " liar Majesty's Ministers she does meet— her Parliament not." The Standard hopes ardently that it may not be guilty of any disrespect to her Majesty in placing the slightest confidence in any intimations of the same colour as the above. 'MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS. FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF YESTERDAY. TIMES.—That the supposed news from China commented on yesterday has been traced to Galignani's Messenger, has not given it in the City any additional claim to belief. All the conclusion drawn from it is, that the concoctors of the intelligence, as they are still suspected to be, for interested purposes, have thought it a more safe mode of proceeding in the first instance to resort to Paris, where there are fewer means of detecting such impositions than in London ; besides which it is well known that the French Journals are much less scrupulous in the admission of matters of fact without due inquiry, than the Journals of this coun try. The parties concerned would also be aware that though news is seldom adopted in London when it originates there, without inquiry, the mass of intelligence from France is seldom sifted, because in general little time is afforded for the purpose, and it must be adopted, for the most port, on the re sponsibility with which it originated. All the details of this sup. posed letter from Macao are as vague as possible, and possess, other circumstances apart, no internal evidence of authenticity. That a piece of news affecting, as this does, millions of property in teas and other articles of China and East India produce, should have reached one party only, and also have lain quietly dormant in Paris for a fortnight at least, after all the other letters brought by the last overland snail had been delivered, is in itself utterly incre dible, and certainly the quarter through which it comes at last is not calculated to create for it any validity which it does not na turally possess. No well.informed person in the City attaches the least credit to it. The public Stocks have fluctuated but very little to.day. The fine state of the weather, and the consequent improvement in the Foreign Exchanges, led many to suppose, and not unreasonably, that the aspect of the Funds in general would have improved ; the indication of such a state of things was but slight, and any advance was in all probability checked by the further delivery of stock to. day by leading Brokers, on account of former sales, which kept money in demand at the rate of four per cent. This latter circum stance was, no doubt, the cause of the lower price of Exchequer Bills. CHRONlCLE.—Excitement in the City, and particularly in the tea market, continues on the subject of the news from China, con'. municatect in a second edition of the Chronicle of yesterday, and repeated to-day also in a third edition, containing our extraordinary express from Paris. The latter mentions that the same intelligence had appeared in the Semaphore of Marseilles, received that day in Paris, and similar intelligence was given to.day in a second edition of other morning papers, with this addition, that on the 10th of April, several cargoes of British goods had been seized by the Chinese police, in breach of the convention with Captain Elliot. The opening prices for teas this morning were flat, at a decline on those of yesterday, several purchases of Company's Congous having been made at 9.5. '7 id. par lb. ; but on the appearance of the extra. ordinary express from Paris, of yesterday's date, above.mentioned, the market became firm, and st . ddenly advanced to 9s. Sid. The prevailing belief to.day is that the intelligence in question from China is not unfounded. COWES, ISLE OF IVIGHT. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT. ) ROYAL YACHT SQUADRON INTELLIGENCE. In consequence of the start for the Queen's Cup not being satis factory, the Cup was awarded to the Cynthia, but Mr. Frankland very handsomely declined taking it, preferring another trial for it. The Cynthia and Aurora, will, therefore, have another contest for it to-morrow over the same ground, starting at eleven. Captain Corry has withdrawn the Plicebe. The display of fireworks was the most splendid, the yachts were most beautifully: deco, ated, and being so numerous that it was a forest of masts. The mist cleared up about nine, P.M., and at half. past nine all was one blaze of light ashore and afloat, the" Kestrel" as usual was worthy of the Commodore, and the " Brilliant " was more brilliant than ever, exceeding anything we remember, every variety of light and fire was displayed on all her masts in every form and devices, the " Merlin," the " Gem," the " Matilda," the " Nymph'' and numerous others were in a perfect blaze; cn shore, the parade was crowded by thousands of fashionables drawn from every quarter to witness this display. The following were amongst the fashionables at the Royal Yacht Squadron Ball: The Earl of Yarborough, Sir J. Copley, Viscount Exmouth, Lord Ilchcster, Lord Stavordale, Captain Trollope, Sir Bellingham and Lady Graham, Lady Paulet, Hon. Were Paulet, Sir G. E. and Lady Hammond, Sir W. Dalrymple, S.

Sheridan, Esq., and Lady, the Marquis of Ormond, Lord Lovaine. The dinner this day is expected to be well attended. Sir James Graham, Lord Chelsea, ana the rest of the M.P.'s leave for town this evening to attend the opening of Parliament to-morrow, and numerous houses are again to let. ROYAL YACHT SQUADRON REGATTA.—SECOND Day. CONTEST FOR THE QUEEN'S CUP. Name. Tonnage. Owner. The Aurora .. 39 tons The Cynthia The Phmbe ...... 33 tons were started at eleven o'clock, the two former getting away first, some say before the signal was given, but they certainly had a trifling advantage ; they proceeded to the eastward with a fine breeze after them, followed by a hundred sail and a thousand eyes. The greatest interest prevailed from the trial of yesterday; the roads and harbour were filled with yachts and pleasure vessels of all descriptions; the shore crowded with spectators. The vessels passed to the westward, taking the same course as yesterday, the contest being between the Aurora and Cynthia, the winner of yes. terday being astern to-day. On their return from Yarmouth they passed the starting vessel as follows : Aurdra, 5 18 25 Cynthia, 5 20 25 Phoebe, 5 39 30 some doubt as to which will have the cup, on account of the start. The morning was very fine, but the afternoon misty, which is likely to continue, and destroy the effect this evening of Jones's display of fireworks. The ball last evening was well attended by fashionables : there were about 176 of the first of our nobility and gentry. The Royal Yacht Squadron Dinner takes place to.morrow, after which Members start for town to attend their Parliamentary duticr. THE ARMY.

MANCHESTER.—There was a better demand for Yarn yesterday than for some time past, and a fair amount of business was done, though without the slightest advance upon the low rates which previously prevailed. The Goods Market was worse than this ; the demand was very limited, and no sales could be made except at perfectly ruinous prices. Indeed it has been obvir.is, for some days past, that large stocks of goods were being sacriliced for such prices as the manufacturers could obtain, without reference to their cost; and, until those stocks arc cleared off, there can be no legitimate demand. ROCIIDALE FLANNEL MARKET, MONDAY, AUG. 16 .—To.day, being the wakes, the business done has been more limited than that of the preceding week ; but there has been no change in prices. In wool there is no change to report since the last market. HUDDERSFIELD MARKET, Ava. 17.—This was much the same sort of market day as last week. The demand for low and middle. priced woollens still continues; but the quantity brought to the Market is not great, as goods are mostly made to order ; conse quently, better prices are realized in some sorts. Prices are firm in wools; and business in the warehouses is a little better, and will improve with the fair weather. THE WEATHER.—NooN, AUGUST 19. ROYAL GALLERY OF SCIENCE, ADELAIDE-STREET.

The alinisterial journals of Wednesday affirm that the new census is a mere pretext of the anarchists of the south of France for covering their revolutionary designs. Troops are everywhere in motion marching towards the south, where as pat the greatest excitement prevails. A letter from Corfu of the 2,1 announces that Admiral Om man ey had received official intelligence of the entire pacification of Candia, and that this happy result was due to the interven vention and united exertions of the officers of the British and French naval stations off the Island. At the audience given by the Sultan to Said Bey, his High ness informed the Egy, , tian Envoy that he consented to reduce the tribute. A letter from Vienna, of the 10th, states that the Duke of Bourdeaux is rapidly renvering. When restored to health, he will enter the Austrian service as a cadet in the Emperor's Regiment of Light Horse. The French squadron in the Levant is to consist of two ships of the line, four frigates, two smaller vessels, and a steamer. Half of Admiral Hu,gon's squadron is to winter at Toulon, and the other half of the Hyeres Islands. The Temps states that the Sultan has ordered the English to evacuate Syria, but they still keep possession of Beyrout. We believe England has not above forty or fifty men in Syria. With such a force it is rather amusing to hear grave doubts expressed respecting our intentions. 'The Commerce calls upon the French Government to state whether the secret article of the Treaty of December, 1831, exists :whic-h stipulates that in the event of a war between France and the Great Powers the fortresses of Belgium would be occupied with foreign troops. The question appears to us of very little consequence. Treaties which have for their basis a state of war are very. rarely observed; The King and Q ueen o f th e B e l g i ans w ill remain till the end of September at Ostend. From Madrid our advices are of the 11th inst. Esparlero had adopted the law authorising the raising of a loan of 60 millions of reals. Five priests at Daroca, who refused to recognise the Arch bishop appointed by the Regent, were arrested and cast into poison. We like not this way of dealing with the priests. They ought to have nu opportunity allowed them of working on the popular sympathies by exhibiting themselves as Martyrs. The true way is to deprive them of their livings, and put better subjects in their places. PAP.LX.AMENTAIZY. The new Parliament was yesterday opened by Commission, and the Commons were commanded, as usual, to choose a Speaker. The Lords could not swear themselves in for want of a Bishop to say prayers. Lerd Bayning, being a Reverend, at length officiated ; and, having recei% el his blessing, their Lordships took the customary oaths. The Commons chose Mr. Shaw Lefevre for Speaker, Sir Robert Peel having declared that he should adhere to the prin ciple of not making the election of Speaker a party question. Several Members were sworn in. PUBLIC OPINION. The Times thus refers to the Corn-law question:—" We are, in the abstract opposed to the restrictions of the present Corn laws. We consider it clear, in particular, that the present sliding scale has worked injuriously, has given occasion to an extent of fraud which it is humiliating to think of. The very daring and extent of these malpractices have made them suc cessful. Sad as the confession is, we do not believe that the in• genuity of statesmen will be able to devise a plan which will effectually baffle the acute and practised speculator : and we are, therefore; sorry to see indications of an intention to retain what we cannot but believe irremediably inefficient." The Times then goes on to sneer at " that most impudent delusion —the cry of cheap bread for the labourer," thus exhibiting the grossest inconsistency, for what can be its object in opposing " the restrictions of the present Corn-laws," except to make bread cheaper; the idea of which it, nevertheless, ridicules as a delusion ! Our Contemporary's logical faculty seems to have deserted him of late. The Post, with more than its wonted effrontery, insists on being better informed of the exact state of her Majesty's health, than even her medical adviser himself, observing:—" Her Majesty is notoriously in as good a state of health as she was in the month of August of last year. She takes and enjoys now, as she did then, her morning walks and her afternoon drives in the neighbourhood of Windsor Castle. When in London she partakes now, as she did then, of the amusements of the capi tal. In the month of August of last year her Majesty proro gued Parliament in person, and in the following November her Majesty, to the great joy of her subjects, gave birth to the Princess Royal." The Post infers from this that her Majesty is resolved to keep herself " entirely aloof " from Ministers— an absurd remark which we leave the Court Circular to answer. The Chronicle observes, with reference to the recent ap pointment of the Rev. Baptist Noel to be one of the Royal Chaplains—" Were it possible for any doubt to exist on the fact of her Majesty's earnest desire for the untaxing of the people's food, that doubt must be instantly and triumphantly settled by the appointment of the Honourable and Rev. Bap tist Noel as one of her Chaplains in Ordinary. This is truly the act of a Christian Sovereign. The religion which suppli catei daily bread for those who earn it, is thus made practically part and parcel of the law.' No clerical arrangement has ever afforded more heartfelt. satisfaction than this does, to all +•ho respect religion as involving human duties together with divine doctrines. Her Majesty is with the people in treating the bread-tax repeal as a religious question. She distin guishes the Christian preacher by his assertion of the rights of the poor against the grinding oppressions of class monopoly." That this is an appointment from which the country may dc rive the most flattering hopes, and that the Tories regard it in this light, is evident from the loud clamour they have already begun to set up against Mr. Noel. They have opened on him like a pack of fierce wolves, and will do all they can to run him clown, and worry him to death. The Rev. Gentleman may well be proud of such rabid abuse. It is a proof of the high rate at which the Monopolists estimate his moral influence in the cause of justice. The Hera7d, in an article on the subject of the factory question, remarks as follows :—" All the efforts of Lerd Ashley for the benefit of the factory question will, however, be thrown away without general activity, intelligence, self-denial, and pru dence on their part. Now these qualities are very much the result of what is still denied them—moral and religious educa tion. We do not mean such education as that devised by the Whigs—a political education ; hut one which shall be based on that truth . ' which was not for an age but for all time,' and which, on the cessation of time, is for eternity. The adoption of such a system cannot be far distant from the removal of the resent Administration." A system of national education based on Tory principles—for this is, of course, what our Con temporary looks forward to —is a sy s tem calculated not to en large, but to fetter, the mind ; not to encourage a healthy spirit of independence in the national character, but to crush it. Such a system might have suited admirably the days of George the Third; but it is now too late to adopt it. The aristocracy and the priesthood can nover again exercise their old influence over the people. The Dublin Evening Post says :—" That Ministers are equal to the crisis, in the face of a hostile House of Lords and of a hostile majority of landlords in the Commons, we believe; and the Tory public, we anticipate, will be of our opinion before the lapse of a month. Having taken their stand against Monopoly, there can be no doubt at all that its knell is rung. The time—the euthanasia is uncertain. It may take a year in dying under the hands of Doctor Peel—it may expire before Christmas. But it is booked. Its doom is sealed. The debates on the Address, however, they may terminate, will deal a heavy blow and a great discouragement to the Monopolists." MONEY-TAADE-COMMERCE. The fustian trade still continues to be the most healthy of any branch connected with the manufactures of Manchester, but still not sufficient to enable the manufacturer to realise any ad ditional profit. Most of the calico printers are by no means busy. "We regret exceedingly," says the Tyne Mercury," to ob serve that almost every trading branch of trade is at present, and has been for some months past, labouring under great depression in Nevveastle. Unless some amendment takes place it is dreadful to think of the distress that must be felt, as winter approaches, by the working classes, especially as the price of bread seems to be increasing." AGRIC LTZTUR.A.L. The farmers are busy in cutting down their corn all about the Isle of Thanet. Wheat-cutting has commenced at Maid stone, but it is complained that the mildew has done severe damage. At Cambridge a great deal of corn has been cut, and some carried ; the clovers, turnips, and potatoes are in fine order, but the rains are yet very annoying. COURT-FASHIONABLE.

This was on action brought against the defendants, for the purpose of obtaining compensation for injury done to the plaintiff, in consequence of the negligence of the defendants in leaving a hole in the Tunnel, into which the plaintiff fell, and hurt himself severely. Mr. Thesiger conducted the plaintiff's case ; and Mr. Platt and Mr. Meisel' Gurney appeared for the Company. Mr. Tnestnen. stated that the plaintiff was a respectable tradesman, residinglin London, audhe sought fr.en the defendants compensation for serious injury that he hattsustained through the negligence of their si rvants in not protecting a hole in the Tunnel, that had been made in the progress of the works. The defendants had admitted they were in fault, and had tendered a sum of money to the plaintiff, but as he considered it was not sufficient compensation for the injury he had suffered, be was compelled to apply to a jury. Witnesses were called, and the Chief-Justice (who teemed to think the plaintiff also guilty of negligence) summed up, when the Jury returned a verdict for the defendants. ITAMBURGH MAIL. THE HAGUE, AUG. 17.—1 n the sittings of the Second Chamber of the States General to-day, the Budget for the years 1 842 and 1843, and other financial laws, were presented by his Excellency the Minister of Finance, who, in a prelimi nary address, said that the Government would present the Budget with the more confidence, as the total amount of the expenditure will be covered by the total amount of receipts, without the introduction of any new tax, or the augmentation of old ones, and without having resource to any new loan. The total estimated amount of the expenditure in florins is 71,388,103 65, and of receipt 71,353,551 92. The expenditure and receipts for 1843 are nearly the same as for 1842.

AN AIR ENGINE OF THIRTY HORSE POWER. —An engineer of Dundee has succeeded in constructing an air engine that promises to be of great value. The malner in which it is constructed is at present a secret, as the Inven tion is not yet secured by patent, but the engine itself, not merely a working model,. has been constructed, and is ern, ployed in his workshops in performing the duty which previ ously required a steam engine of thirty horse power. This effect, we are informed, is produced by the consumption of only one sack of coals per day. NEW PROPELLER.—SeveraI engineers and other scientific mek met on board the Swiftsure steam-boat, on Wednesday last, to witness experiments with a newly in vented submarine propeller, patented by Mr. Blaxland. It is an improvement upon the Archimedian screw. The trials of the submarine propeller have been made in a small boat of three tons burthen, and with an engine of three-quarter horse power, and they have hitherto been perfectly successful. The Swiftsure has been bought by the patentees, and will be fitted up with the patent moving power. The most sanguine expecta tions are entertained as to the result. THE HARVEST. —ISLE OF WlGHT.—Thouglt we have not exactly harvest weather, the work is going on steadily and satisfactorily, indeed there is every appearance at present of a bountiful crop being well secured; barometer 29 75, wind fresh from the south-west. The corn on the land at East Cowes is being hurried to the riek..yard, and by next season we expect to see the land covered by elegant villas, as preparations are already being made to commence building. About forty lots having been dis posed of. At the Mansion-house yesterday Somerville, v, ho was accused of having appropriated the instalments due upon the certificates of Scott, of the Spanish Auxiliary Legion, and detained th e cert i f i cates, waited upon the Lord Mayor to state: that he had paid Scott the amount of the instalments, and that he should procure the certificates for the complainant as soon as passible. He had, he begged to say, acted in the manner described, in consequence of the total negative given to the charge of forgery made against him, and be should pay every man whose instalments he had received, provided no false charge of the kind was brought against him. The Lord Mayor expressed his gratification at the result of the investigation. FORTHCOMING BENEFIT OF MR.

After this harmonious display in the grounds, various vaudevilles, extravaganzas, and theatrical amusements will be represented in the saloon, and the pleasures of the evening are to be crowned with a superb display of fireworks, which, at this place of en tertainment, always call for great admiration, together with sets of the Musard a n d I r i s h quadrilles. Air. Campbell's benefit promises a brilliant fete night, and will, no doubt, attract hundreds. " STORMER, A TALE OF MESMERISMs"---• It is not more than once in a century, that so fertile and mag nificent a subject as Animal Magnetism arises for a story of mystery. Of all others, this is the best adapted for romance, inasmu,:h as its agency is inscrutable, and its effects are mar vellous. By it new sources of passion are explored—incidents, hitherto undreamed of, brought before the wondering eyes of man—and a train of spirit-stirring phenomena revealed. Mrs. Shelley's tale of the monster " Frankenstein," is hardly more startling to our human faculties than the strange disclo , ures of Mesmerism. The work of fiction which has just appeared, called " Sturmer," will more powerfully excite the breathless attention of the reader, than perhaps any romance of mo dern times.
