NATIONAL LOAN FUND SOCIETY FOR GRANTING LIFE ASSURANCES, DEFERRED ANNUITIES, &c. which our time affords, and which is as necessary to the forming of useful colo nies as mere labourers can be. Let us reflect for a moment upon the actual state of the British empire. We have an extent of territory, which, for all practical purposes, may be called infinite. We have a vast amount of wealth, and an abundant stock of intelligence, activity, and enterprise; and we have about thirty millions of the richest, most intelligent, industrious, and enterprising of our people, shut up, as it were, in two small islands —exclusive of our East Indian population, six sevenths of the whole. Why, then, not extend our " cramped and cabined-in" society so as to make it co-extensive with the vast territorial extent of our empire —preserving still a homo genous character to the whole ?

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 en the health and credulity of patients, has been en couraged and aroused by this supineness, on the part of the regular surgeon. In order to obviate the pernicious effects sure to result from the practices of such pretenders, the authors have fur a considerable time devoted themselves ex clusively to a certain class of diseases; of the necessity of so doing, they were further convinced by feeling that tact in in vestigating the latent sources of many diseases, which arise from certain secret practices, can only be acquired by an ex clusive and undivided attention to this department of medical practice. The numberless instances daily occurring, whersin affections of the lungs, putting on all the outer appearances of consumption, which, however, when traced to their source, are found to result from certain baneful practices, fully proves that the principle of the division of labour, is nowhere more applicable than in medical practice. We feel no hesitation in saying that there is no member of society by whom the book will not be found useful, whether such person hold the relation of a Parent, a Preceptor, or a Clergyman. The PARENT, who beholds his beloved child pining away, and fast approaching to a premature grave, in conse quence of some di seas e, 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 dir ecte d and very much assisted in investigating and detecting the too often con cealed practices so often introduced into schools, whereby the health and ultimately the lives of his pupils are sure to be corn promised, unless the evil be arrested in proper time. He w ill here find a clue to guide' him through th e intr i cate mazes of this moral labyrinth, and a standard whereby to judge, when delicacy of health should appear to attack any of his young charges, what the real causes of such attack may be, and thus he 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 dis astrous consequences which are sure to follow from them if not relinquished.

MATES, NAVAL INSTRUCTORS, AND SCHOOL- MASTERS. An Act was passed in the last Session of Parliament, c. 3, in which it is enacted, " That, from and after the 31st day of December, 1841, it shall be lawful for every naval instructor and mate in the Royal Navy, under such regulations, limitations, and restrictions, as have now been, or may at any time or times hereafter be, esta blished by the Commissioners for executing the office of Lord High Admiral of the United Kingdom for the time being, to draw a bill of exchange, or a set of bills of the same tenour and date, upon the Accountant-General of the Navy, for the net personal pay which shall be due to him, at such times, and for such periods, as the said Com missioners shall at any time, or from time to time, ap point in that behalf." It is therefore directed :—That all mates and naval instructors shall continue to draw for the sea-pay due to them up to the 31st December, 1841, as heretofore. That after the 31st of December, 1841, they shall be allowed to draw bills for their net sea-pay every three months, to end on the 31st of March, 30th of June, 30th of September, and 31st of December, agreeable to the annexed table of pay. That any mate or naval instructor who shall have been on half-pay for three months next before his ap pointment to a ship, or any mate not allowed half-pay who was not serving at the time of his appointment, may receive three months' pay in advance on his joining his ship, provided he transmit, with an application to the Accountant-General of the Navy, a certificate from his commanding officer of the day he commenced sea-pay, when a bill of exchange will be sent to him for signature and negotiation, or the amount will be paid to his agent, if he requests it. . . That mates and naval instructors be allowed to draw for their net sea-pay from the date of entry, if they re ceive no advance, or for the termination of the period for which advance may have been granted, to the end of the current quarter.

GLOBE.—Lord Palmerston's reply to the ad dress of the Corporation of Bridgnorth is, ac cording to the Times, only surpassed in folly and falsehood by that of Lord John Russell to the address of the inhabitants of Plymouth. The vituperation poured forth on the latter is there fore recapitulated and applied to the former. Let us examine with what reason and with what success Lord Palmerston presumes to state, as his opinion, that the efforts of the late Government to effectuate reforms in the Church, the State, and in our Commercial Po licy, had not been wholly fruitless; and that the principles they had more recently and practically asserted would not be devoid of fruit, even though planted in Tory soil. This, in the estimation of the Times, was bad enough. But worse remained behind. The Noble Lord had the temerity to state that the victory which Sir Robert Peel had achieved by a combination with monopolists, would be " short-lived." There Lord Palmerston probed the Tory conscience to the quick. The secret misgiving, lest tergiversation and casuistry should utterly fail to defend a party which has entrenched itself within private interests to carry 1 1 on a war against " the great interests of the community," is constantl y at work, and betray itself even by the very efforts which are made to conceal it. It was not to be endured that Lord Palmerston should thus hold up to the illustrious Cabinet of halting, struggling turncoats, a mirror which reflected their character and their doom. It was not to be borne that he should utter what every one sees, that an Administration, the principal mem bers of which arc nearly as destitute of agree ment with each other as they are notoriously at variance with their former selves, would scarcely be able to hold together as a Government under any circumstances; and that in the present de pressed and distracted state of our commercial in terests it will be utterly impossible for such an Ad ministration to carry on the public business of the country. Lord Palmerston had alSo ventured to say that " he trusted the endeavours of the late Go vernment to carry. into practical application the principles of civil and religious liberty had not been wholly fruitless." Upon this very innocent assumption the Times expends the vials of its in dignation. " Fruitless! exclaims the Times— " was the Appropriation Clause fruitless?" No : Tory perseverance in resistance to claims putforth in behalf of the large majority of the people of Ireland prevailed—claims which the Times for merly went far greater lengths in pressing than the Whig Ministry. But the Jamaica Coercion Bill, was that fruitless ? No ; the conduct of the Tories on that occasion also showed the sympathy which exists between Toryism and tyranny. STANDARD.—We have written so often and so long ago upon the paramount importance to the well-being of the empire of a well-considered and constantly-acting system of emigration, that we have nothing new to offer upon the subject; we may be allowed, however, t - ) take pride in the successful result of the adoption of our very earliest views—views which we ventured to off er to public notice more than twenty y ears ago. The principle of the system of emigration which we then suggested was the translation of society in its frame, not in rude and unconnected parts, st ill l es s in single classes. The last colony founded, the colony of New Zealand, makes the r nearest approach that has ever been made to this principle. It is, however, no reproach to our ancestors that they did not hit upon a principle which it was scar ce l y in their powe r to apply, and for the discov ery of which they had not the store of experience that we every possess. They had, as progressive state of society, whether the society be of few or man y, will have, a redundan t population of the lowest class; but they had not that affluent supply of the higher and middle classes COURIER.—We are most concerned to learn now how the innocent holders of the fraudulent bills are to be dealt with, and how far their in terests are likely to be affected by the course taken to cushion those disclosures, promised and anxiously looked forward to in the trial of one, and the testimony of the other prisoner. An impression universally prevails, and not, we think, without foundation, that such disclosures would have served irre sistibly to strengthen the claims of the Bill holders on the Treasury, although, waiving the legal points involved, we are entirely of opinion that those claims rest on principles of right and equity which cannot' be denied and defeated, however their consideration may be postponed for a time. We regard them as greatly reinforced morally, if not legally, by the course adopted for obstructing all further criminal proceedingsin the Exchequer bill cause, and by thus not only pre venting those further revelation., ofacc,omplices which might, and must have, inculpated other and more guilty parties in the end, but still more by carefully withholding from publication, or the knowledge of the injured bill-holders, those dis closures and confessi ons actually made by Smith and Rapallo ; disclosures necessary as evidence for making out the legal, besides the equitable claim to relief, on behalf of the plundered parties. In the meantime we must also insist that manifest injustice is done to the innocent and respectable bill holders by every day's procrastination of the ex amination into and adjustment of their claims. Their bills are impounded at the Exchequer bill-office, where stamped as forged or fraudulent, and thus the evidence of property is withdrawn from their possession and refused to their demand. The law, to be sure, is open to them for redress, but suits at law are a fearful remedy, and waged at fearful odds as against the Treasury. The delays alone of such litigation must be ruin to many, even in the event of success, for, as the homely saying has it, whilst the grass grows the ox starves. Under such circumstances we would suggest therefore, with all deference, the means of an arrangement by which justice should be equally dispensed to both sides, without preju dice to either. As the responsibility of the Treasury for the doings of its recognised agents and officers cannot be voided by any self-willed act of defeasance, we would propose that a Com mission should issue to competent persons, to ex amine into and arbitrate upon the validity of the claims of the bill• holders, setting out upon the broad principle that where the origin of pos session was unimpeachable, and value duly proved to have been given, the bills, so purged of illegi timate holding in the hands of the respectable parties exonerated, should be at once admitted to proof and liquidation at the Treasury. By this course we apprehend that the Treasury, as custos of the public purse, would stand absolved of negligence of the public interest, whilst ag grieved individuals would obtain the fair mea sure of redress to which they are entitled. MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS. FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF YESTERDAY. HERALD.—The affair of Rapallo, and the extraordinary conduct of the Government officers in omitting to lodge a detainer against him, until after his discharge legally from duresse, in which lie was so strangely kept a whole day by the Recorder to wait such further proceed ings as might be contemplated against him, has been the prevailing theme of conversation and animadversion in the City to-day. It may be as well, however, to reserve what remains to be said on the subject, until it is seen whether the law officers are really in earnest about his re capture, about which strong doubts are freely expressed. If in earnest he can hardly fail to be again in custody by this time. The suspension of the bank on the extreme northern borders alluded to under this head on Monday evening, but without specifying the par ticular establishment, slthough in possession of the names, comes confirmed by the notice posted on the Tweed banking-house in Berwick-on- Tweedon Monday last, to the effect that "Messrs. Batson, Berry, and Co. beg to inform the public that owing to unavoidable circumstances they are obliged to suspend payment." A Morning Contemporary treats this failure as of little ac count and consequence. The contrary, however, is the well-known fact. The bank was one of undoubted credit, and extensive connections, and once, if not now, of large capital. Berwick is a place carrying on a very considerable corn trade, besides large dealings in cattle, and, with the country district around it, must therefore be very deeply involved with the bank, which was the almost exclusive centre of banking business and deposits for the population. It is painful to be obliged to add, that in consequence of the banking failures in Chichester and Arundel, the Sussex banks have all more or less been subjected to a severe run ; but it is more grateful to be enabled to announce that the trial has been met with a promptitude and punctuality evincing the possession of substantial means, which must all the more enhance their credit and standing here after. TIMES.—The premium on gold at Paris is 51 per mille, which, at the English Mint price of 3/. 17s. 101 d. per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 9,5.'28, and the exchange at Paris on London at short being 25.45, it fdllows that gold is 0.68 per cent. dearer in London than in Paris. By advices from Hamburgh the price of gold is 4'28 per mark, which, at the English Mint price of 31. 17s. 101 d. per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 13.61, and the ex change at Hamburgh on London at short being 13.71, it follows that gold is 0.58 per cent. dearer in London than in Hamburgh. The course of exchange at New York on Lon don- is 1091 per cent., and the par of exchange between England and America being 109 :23-40 per cent., it follows that the exchange is 0.18 per cent. in favour of England. But the quoted exchange at New York being for bills at sixty days' sight, the interest must be added to the above difference.

It is a well-known fact that the eyes of those who have been destroyed by hydrocyanic acid,• for a length of time after death show none of the usual symptoms of dimness ; on the contrary, the eye is dear and the pupil much dilated. This satisfied me that the acid exerted a specific action upon the eye, which' might be made avail able, as a medical agent, for relieving many of the dis eases to which that organ is so subject. My first experiment was undertaken in 1837, with the diluted acid, by dipping a sponge into it, and rubbing it on the forehead for the space of a few minutes, which gave the skin a very red appearance ; but the patient ex• perienced not the least sense of heat, and the pupil was slightly dilated. I continued to use this with very bene ficial effects in incipient cataract, opacities of the cornea, inflammation, amaurosis, iritis, &c. Of late I have sub stituted the vapour of the concentrated acid to the eye with much more decided effect, and without the slightest danger. The plan I generally adopt is to put into an ounce phial a drachm of the acid, and hold it in close 'contact with the eye, the eyelid being open, for the space of about half a minute, or until such time as the patient feels a little warmth, or the person holding the phial sees the pupil greatly dilated and the vessels of the eye injected with blood, which is the invariable effect of the application of the acid. The patient is not sensible of pain from this peculiar state being induced, which ap pears to mo to result from the powerfully sedative in fluence of the acid, thereby showing that two opposite powers, to wit, stimulating and sedative, are exerted at the same time, and thereby the uneasiness arising gene rally from a stimulant alone is prevented. Its great power in removing those diseases chiefly arises from the two powers being so blended, and thus enabling the eye to bear a sufficient stimulating action without injury. The person who holds the acid to the eye should be care ful not to allow the patient to smell it. _ _ The essential oif of bitter almonds I use for the same diseases. I put two drachms of water to two drachms of the oil in an ounce phial, and hold it in the same way to the eve as the acid, but its effects are not precisely alike. The feeling induced by the oil is soothing, and generally relieves all sense of pain, even of tic douloureur, without sensibly dilating the pupil, or causing much red ness of the eye. I find it very useful in taking away the heat occasioned by the hydrocyanic acid. I am, Sir, your obedient servant, A. TURNBULL, M.D. 48, Rassell-square, Sept. 28, 1841. PROSECUTION FOR BLASPHEMY. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sin—l request you to give publicity to the followinn recent case of unjustifiable interference with the opinions of an individual. Charles Southwell, some time since a Social Missionary, was the editor ofa periodical, printed and published by himself, in conjunction with others, called " The Oracle of Reason," devoted to the explana tion and advocacy of certain opinions of his own, as well as to remarks upon other subjects. The Fourth Number contained some severe comments upon the Bible, for which on Saturday, November 27th, he was arrested, being charged with having unlawfully and wickedly composed, printed, and published, a certain scandalous, blasphemous, and profane libel of, and concerning the Holy Scriptures and the Christian Religion. He was committed to gaol the same evening, in default of bail, the lateness of the hour entirely preventing any being obtained before the Magistrates rose. Bail has, how ever, since been tendered, but the Magistrates refused two of the three offered, although duly qualified, and willing to swear to that effect, and he still remains in prisor. He is treated in every respect like a criminal before trial ; he can personally communicate with a friend, for a few minutes, three times a week, from a kind of cage, with a couple of turnkeys by his elbow the whole time ; and can likewise send letters which are subjected to examination by the Chaplain and Governor. He has been refused any books save the Bible, Seneca's Morals, and Dr. Wiseman's Catholic Lectures, which were taken to him, not being allowed him. Such a pro secution at the present time is the more shameful, the Puseyites now declaring the Bible not to be a proper book for indiscriminate circulation, as producing more evil than good ; but for the expression of opinions some what similar they have imprisoned my friend.—Your obedient servant, W. CHILTON. 6, Narrow Wine-street, Bristol, Dec. 6, 1841. FIRE ESCAPES. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sin—Will you oblige the Committee by inserting the following in some corner of your Paper, that the public and those who subscribe their money may see that, with proper management, fire escapes are and may be of great service to the public generally.—Your obedient servant, W. J. NEWTON. 41, Brewer-street, Golden-square, Dee. 8. THE LATE FIRE IN PRINCES-STREET.—The Com mittee of the St. James's Local Society for the Protec tion of Life from Fire, at their meeting last evening (Tuesday) voted twB pounds to each of the conductors (llupere and Clark), for their exertions in saving the life of Mr. J. Millard, sixty-five years of age, who oc cupied a portion of Mr. Reeve's house in Princes•street, which was burnt on the Ist instant. The exertions of the conductors on this occasion were beyond all praise, and had it not been for their timely assistance with the fire escape, a loss of human life would have take place. It appears that Mr. and Mrs. Millard had escaped to the roof by means of the trap-door. EFFECTS OF COURT MOURNING. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Srn,—Now that the Queen Dowager is said to be out of danger, I beg to point your attention to the injurious effects which general mournings have upon certain branches of trade, and particularly upon the fancy silk trade. A month ago, the trade, partaking of the general de pression, " Like a woanded snake, dragged its slow length along," sluggishly enough, certainly ; but when the report of the alarming illness of the Queen Dowager came out it seemed absolutely to clap an extinguisher upon it alto gether ; and although she appears to be getting better, yet the very fear that she may, in a short time, have a relapse and die will prevent nine ladies out of ten from purchasing any fancy article of dress ; the consequence of which will be, that nearly all the fancy articles pre pared by the manufacturers, and purchased by the whole sale men and shopkeepers, for the autumn trade, will be left on hand at the end of the season, and have to be jobbed off at half price next year. And the evil will not end here ; for who among those who may escape the crippling process which is now going on will be hardy enough to prepare, or purchase, a lot of fancy articles for the next spring trade, when, per haps, in March or April, the Queen Dowager, should she get about again now, may be taken ill again, and spoil the trade of another season ? The general mournings, having been so curtailed of late years, do very little good even to the black trade ; for people in general de not think it worth while to go to the expence of purchasing new materials for their dresses, but merely have their old ones re-dyed for the occasion. Indeed, so eager and anxious are the English ladies at this time to testify their respect for their good and vir tuous Queen Dowager, that, in anticipation of her death, one rag-dyer alone informs me he has received as many as 250 old coloured silk dresses to be dyed black, in rea gwkoehoeipdehsa diness for the event whenever it may take place. In fact, the only time that a general mourning benefits even the black trade is when the Royal personage dies sud denly—in hi to t u h i ls o d s n e hoa w tv leiodaemsdiair;:beltehaoprpen interest black goods be them generally turn them to good ae den death of the members decent i to n p ha v e r t a ha .i t iaennogyu ac count. class t hßeoufst sudden of the Roya l Family. the autumn trade was spoiled by the death of the Princess Augusta.

' Fort-street, Spitalfields, Nov. 30, 1841. FATAL ACClDENT.—Yesterday morning, about half-past six o'clocl:, the following melancholy accident occurred on the river near Greenwich :—lt appears that Mr. John M'Clelland, boatwright, Ivho res id es i n Church street, Shadwell, was proceeding by water this morning to Greenwich, accompanied by two fellow workmen, of the names of Walter Bish op an d William Charles Worthington. They had ar r i ve d a b out half a mile this side of the Royal Hospital, w h en, b y some ac cident, they ran the boat with :great violence against a coal barge, which was coming down the river in a contrary direction, the concussion was so great as to cause the boat to capsize, and all three were precipitated into the water. M'Clelland, being an expert swimmer, swam to the edge of the barge, and was taken in ; but the other two unfortunately perished. The bodies have not been found. The Earl of Lincoln and Sir Willoughby Gordon transacted business with Sir James Graham at the IJome•ofbce yezterday morning,
