This Work, a Seventh Edition of which is now presented to the public, ten thousand copies have been exhausted since its first appearance, has been very much improved and enlarged by the addition of a more extended and clear detail of general principles, as also by the insertion of several new and highly in teresting cases. The book, as has been already stated, is the result of very ample and daily increasing experience in a class of diseases, which, for some unaccountable reason, have been either altogether overlooked, or treated almost with indiffer ence, by the ordinary medical practitioner. The proverbial and well known rapacity of unqualified practitioners, who traffic on the health and credulity of patients, has been en couraged and aroused by this supineness, on the part of the regular surgeon. In order to obviate the pernicious effects sure to result from the practices of such pretenders, the authors have for a considerable time devoted themselves ex clusively to a certain class of diseases; of the necessity of so doing, they were further convinced by fee lin g 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 l'receptor, or a Clergyman. The PARENT, who beholds his beloved child pining away, and fast approaching to a premature grave, in conse quence of some disease, which, for want of careful investiga tion of its real cause, has been set down to the score of con sumption, will, on perusing this work, be astonished to find, that in nine-tenths of the cases of young persons of both sexes, who perish of what is called pulmonary consumption, heart disease, 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 are sure to be com promised, unless the evil be arrested in proper time. Ho will here find a clue to guide him through the intricate mases 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 oils. astrous consequences which are sure to follow from them if not relinquished.

The shades of the illustrious dead should never be called up to inflame the violence of the living. Mr. Courtenay had nevertheless good reason to be every way proud of his new work, forming as it did a new and valuable accession to sterling English biography. It was his first book too: he had long been a pamphleteer, but his labours on this occasion, took a larger and more substantial shape. He thus jocosely alludes to this circumstance in his prefatory remarks : " Dr. Johnson used to say that no man but a blockhead ever wrote except for money ! This was one of the foolish sayings of the wise man. On the present occasion, however, I beg that it may be understood, especially by him who hesi tates to buy this book, that I am NOT one of JOHNSON'S blockheads—and this consciousness greatly augments the anxiety with which, a pamphleteer of forty years, I send my first book ►nto the world." Mr. Courtenay, probably in speaking of him self as a pamphleteer, intended under that cog nomen to include his writings as a reviewer, for during many years he contributed papers of the first excellence to the Quarterly and Foreign Quarterly Reviews. This custom of Review writing had got him much into the custom of using the plural editorial we, a custom which he subsequently reprehends in himself in the fol lowing words :—" I have to apologise for the use of the first person plural: I hold this to be a great impropriety. It is a clumsy at tempt to conceal what neither can be concealed, nor ought to be concealed, — the mere individuality of the opinions pro nounced. Egotism is not really avoided. by af: fected expression. If a man is blameable for writing a book of his own views and opinions, his fault is not palliated by the pretence of com panions. I lament exceedingly, that a recent habit of writing in Reviews, has betrayed me into the use of their presumptuous style." Mr. Courtenay's love of literature would not allow him to remain indolent, or his pen unem ployed. The last work on which he employed his talents, consisted of "Commentaries on the Historical Plays of Shakspeare." These were published so recently as last year, by Mr. Col burn. The greater part of these Commentaries, which compose two volumes, originally ap peared in the New Monthly Magazine, from June 1838, to March, 1839, under the title of " Shakspeare's Historical Plays, considered Historically." Mr. Theodore Hooke greatly approved of them, and Mr. Courtenay con fesses that his approbation, as a man equally acute and amiable, was greatly gratifying to him. Mr. Courtenay undertook with diffidence the attempt of making these further comments on Shakspeare. Not that he essayed the task from an affectation of having found any new beauties in that writer, nor because he' boasted of the power to place in a more striking light those passages which have now for some ages delighted the readers of the English language, but because it appeared to him that (after all the volumes which had been Written) there were still points of view in which a large portion of the works of Shakspeare arc still to be considered. It has been said that the youth of England take their religion from Mil ton, and their history from Shakspeare. Looking therefore upon Shakspeare as so great an historical writer, and considering all that has b een sa id o f Shakspeare as a teacher of history, Mr. Courtenay proposed to himself in these papers strictly to make inquiry as to " what were Shakspeare's authorities for his history, and how far he has departed from them ; and whether the play can be given to our youth as properly historical," This inquiry had not been anticipated by any of the commentators. Ste vens and lgolone had. certainly a few historical notes, but those very scant, unsatisfactory, and meagre ; while the range of their historical criticism is extremely small, and in many instances quite carele!, s . These volumes contained in addition to the :ilaga zine papers all such plays as Shakspeare founded upon the Scottish and Roman histories. " Having habitually," " tiys Mr. Cou r t enay, his final observations, been engaged in histori cal researches, I have beo delighted to connect them with the plays Of Shaltspeare." Throughout Om Memoir, frequent allusions have beer! made to the antiquity and honour ableness of the Courtenay family, whereof Mr. Peregrine Courtenay was no unworthy descend ant. But his collateral relationship to this noble family can only be IA estimated, by consider ing the rank 1 11414 .bon assigns to it, and by the furth.or l'ttnnbrance that the illustrious his torittn tlirtis aside in the midst of his grand his tory, to bestow some hundred lines of glowing eulogy upon its ancestral members. The true dignity of the Courtenay Amily will best be un derstood by tlio veeital of the historian's own words purple of three Emperors," says Gib bon, " to have r' fined at Constantinopleor;: i l authorise or' case a digression on the oript„ .an d singular Fortunes of the house of Courte:Lay, in the 11 - ..Tee principal branches —1 of - - .Edessa •2, of Frame and, 8, of England:,_of which the ' last oily has survived the r`:;volutions of 800 years." Pursuing 's account of the English branch we f;id him thus speaking :—"According to the old register of Ford Abbey, the Courte nays of Devonshire are descended from Prince Florus, the second son of Peter, and the grand son of Louis the Fat. The most faithful hist° rians believe that after giving his daughter to the King's son, Reginald of Courtenay abandoned his possessions in France, and obtained from the English monarch a second wife and a new inhe ritance. It is certain, at least, that Henry 11. dis tinguished in his camps and councils a Reginald of that name and arms, and, as it may be fairly presumed, of the genuine race of the Courtenays of France. The right of wardship enabled a feudal lord to reward his vassal with the marriage and estate of a noble heiress ; and Reginald of Courtenay acquired a fair establishment in De vonshire, where his posterity has been seated above six hundred years. Hawise, the wife of . Reginald, derived the honour of Okehampton from a. Norman baron, which was held by the service of 93 knights, and a female might claim the manly offices of hereditary viscont or sheriff, and of captain of the Royal Castle of Exeter. In war, the Courtenays fulfilled the duties and deserved the honours of chi va l r y. I n the Field of the Cloth of Gold, a Courtenay laroke'a lance against the French monarch. But the favour of Henry the Eighth was the prelude Ito their fall, and the branch became legally ex tinct. But there still survived a lineal descendant of the first Earl of Devon, a younger branch of the Courtenays, who had been seated at Pow derham Castle above 400 years from the reign of Edward 111. to the present hour. Their estates have been increased by the grant and improve ment of lands in Ireland, an d they have been recently restored to the honours of that peerage which, during the quar re l s o f the Roses, they had lost. Yet," says the historian in conclusion, " the Courtenays still r e t a i n the plaintive motto which asserts the innocence and deplores the fall of their ancient hous e . W hile they sigh for past greatness 'they are doubtless sensible of present blessings; in the long series of the Cour tenay annals, the most splendid era is likewise the most unfortunate." The "plaintive motto" to which Gibbon al ludes above is thus couched, " Übi lapsus? Quid feci? Whither am I fallen? What haye I done ?" Heraldry has not for certain a More sad or melancholy cry; and with the same feel ing of desolation and unhappiness may it be ap plied to him, who calls by his death for this commemorative memoir. His death has created a gap in the literary, political, and private world which will n ot be filled up in a moment, or if filled, will be replaced by no one worthier. Mr. Courtenay has one son a clerk in the Treasury, and another a clerk in the House of Lords. He was himself in the receipt of a pension of 1,0001. a year. Mr. Courtenay was in his 50th year. Peace be to his ashes ! • ~„ 1.112 STEAM-SHIP connec tion with this long-lost vessel, there is this curious fact. Since her departure hence, we have received informa tion of no leSs than six large steam-ships, or men of war, having been seen at sea in a disabled condition, and have not heard a single instance of any attempt made to afford them relief. There is a reason for this. When a mer chant vessel sees at sea a shipwreck that has every appear ranee of a vessel of war, they invariably "cut and run" from them, as they wou t Act from the plague. They do so, because they arQ envrAced that if the crew of the wrecked man of W46,3;kwiPeriug perhaps two or three hundred souls, had become desperate for food, they . would unhesitatingly lay violent hands on all the provisions the merchantman had, under the " law" that " might is right,' and the poor merchant Captain sent to Jericho. "We do not be lieve that ever a man-of-v. - ex was- relieved by a merchant vessel, unless by ioree, or being near some port. This „ sp h i i ; w, we think, why all large disabled vessels are passed unheeded.--Nero York Paper. LONDON, WEDNESDAY, JUL Y 14, 1841. SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS in the.

We do not hesitate to say, that the assem bling of this synod (for we can call it by no other name) is the meet important event in the history of the Church of England which has happened since the time when her convocation was put to silence for vindicating her creed in the memorable ease of Bishop Hoadley. Ever since then the govetnment of the Church has been virtually in abeyance, and she seemed te have lost the rower of acting unitedly according to her proper organization. Swarms of societies usurping her name and office, though but little _influenced by her principles, have stepped in to fill up the place; which her inaction left void. We honour the intentions of those who were instrumental in the formation and iaiaintenance of these societies, and, of course we are far from denying that they have been the means of az complishing much .geod, which might otherwise have been left undone. But we believe that they hare also unintentionally d , tie some evil ; that many of them have introduced new tests and standards of dnctrine, either at variance with those of the Church, or, at all events, not of her imposing : that few of them hare kept ecclesiastical order in view, and that the majority have regarded immediate and specific, rather than general and permanent results. There has been natinity of plan, no concentration of energies, no adequate and comprehensive notion of good to be attained and evil to be avoided. Each society has acted_in its own petty sphere, ter minating its views within itself, not co-rperating (for the most part) with others, but rather discovering a dislike and jealousy of competition in the same field of labour. They have acknow ledged no responsibility to any common ecclesiastical authority, aid have admitted"no control on the part of the rulers of the Church over their' operations. The consequences have been a large amount of canfu , ion, a conside: able addition to the ele ments of discord within the Church at home, an unjustifiable and mischievous interference with foreign churches not subject to our jurisdiction, a great degree of perplexity, distraction, and discouragement to the re:igke.sly disposed public, whose caitributions have been demanded cn every side by a Babel of unauthenticated appeals, and an expenditure of vast sums of money vtithout any proportionate results in the proper fields of missionary exertion. MONEY MA11;104' 4 37. and CITY NEWS. FROM THE MORNING PAYERS OF THIS DAY. E.S.— The premium on gold at Paris is 74 per male, which, at the English Mint pride of 3/. 17s. 14*. per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 25. 34, and the exchange at Paris on London at short being 25. 45, it follows that gold is 0.44 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 31. 17s. 10 1 ,id. per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 13. 7, and the exchange at Hamburgh on London at short being 13. 7r l , it follows that gold is 0.40 per cent. dearer in London than in Hamburgh. . _ The course of exchange at New York on London is 1083 per cent., and the par of exchange between England ano 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. HERALD.—The belief is gaining ground in the United States that the project presented by the Secretary of the Treasury for the creation of what is loosely termed a Fiscal - Agent of the United States, but which in reality means a Na tional Bank, will be affirmed by Congress with certain modifi cations during the present extra session, and become law, therefore, unless objected against by the President. On the 21st Mr. Clay brought up the Report of the Select Committee on the : . currency appointed to consider the plan and details, and did not hesitate at the outset to designate it by its proper name as a "bank of the United States." which " a sound and just policy requires the -establishment of with as little delay as practicable." The Committee report strongly in favour of such a bank, but suggest various modifications of the original scheme. For in stance the maximum of dividend to be allowed the stock holders is raised from 6 to 7 per cent., which after all will be no great temptation for the investments of foreign capitalists, fur although the higher rate is to be legalised, yet the profits n-ay not be such as to allow it to be divided, whilst in some of the older countries of Europe where money is most abundant securities not Jess solid are to be found where nearly as great a return may be steadily and annually realised. It is scarcely possible that the capital of such a bank can be established by the subscriptions of shareholders in the United States alone, that is, if the condition, and an indispensable first condition it should be, were that the shares subscribed should all be paid up in specie. If permitted to be paid up in the paper of state and other banks, or in United States treasury or other bonds, the present vicious state of the currency would be very little im proved by the bank. Again the extreme rate of legalized divi dend must be a less allurement still to capitalists in a coun try like the United States, where tl.e rases of interest ruling on money are never less than 6, but ranging variously and often from and between that point up to 25 and even 30 per cent. per annum. Another important modification sug gested by the Committee or Mr. Clay consists in permitting the Bank to deal in foreign exchanges, that is, to buy and sell fo reign bills of exchange. and give foreign credits, &c., which seems a very questionable sort of interference with what should represent as c!osely as possible a branch of regular trading ope rations. With a powerful competing Bank ever in the field against him the merchant will seldom be able to calculate with any precision the result of his combinations, however prudently they may be planned. The differences realized by exchanges favourable or the reverse, frequently constitute the sole profit upon a mercantile operation. Another modifica tion of the original draft of the scheme consists in, ac • cording to the Bank, an indefinite power to establish branches in the various States of the Union. Doubts are entertained in some quarters whether this may not be viewed among the states themselves as an . invasion of states' rights, end resisted accordingly. There are otherwissa considerable number of stringent provisions for controlling the action and management of the proposed bank, the principal seat of which is to be located at Washington, so as to bring it more under the general supervision of the Government. One of the reasons urged for the establishment of the bank is fairly stated to be the counteraction " of the influence exerted by the Bank of England upon American interests," atkc. In pursuance of another recommendation of the Secretary of the Treasury, a bill to authorise a loan fur 12,000,000 of dollars had been reportertio the House of Representatives, and it was expected would pass. The object, as stated on a former occa sion, is to provide for the deficit in the treasury, anti withdraw a portion, or the whole, of the floating debt, or treasury bills, from circulation. POST.—The fall of Spanish stock to a price one-fifth below the amount of the interest in arrear is a c ircumstance that the holders profess not to be able to comprehend. They surely cannot forget that supplies of ready money have been repeatedly drawn by Spain from this and the Continental market, through the issue of newly-created bonds, convected from masses of what is called " ancient stock," lodged years back in the hands of capitalists as security for petty advances. Such deposits, although no more than perhaps 31. or 41. per cent. was given upon them, being redeemed, have been put into circulation in their converted form at the price of the day. No market can withstand such a system, and the present weakness of the fo• reign funds being otherwise unintedigble, it is but rational to coneldde that capital is once more absorbed upon the old prin ciple. The Committee of the Stock Exchange offer no impe diment to such operations, for the obvious, though very unsa tisfactory, reason, that their body live by the fluctuations caused by trickery and fraud. The Spaniards had never the shadow of a justification to urge for the issue of Active and Passive Bonds privately against those put out under an open contract, materially underselling the legitimate subscribers; nor had they any right whatever to make purchases of Deferred, or, in fact, to traffic in either class of bonds during a suspension of dividends. A practice more undermining and fatal to the bondholders could not be conceived ; but those reports to which we have often referred show the enormous extent to which it was carried, up to the time of their publication in 1837.

Within these two days, a report arrived in London that the Right Honourable Thomas Peregrine Courtenay, younger brother of the Earl of Devon, had met with his death by drowning, while he bathed at Torquay, which lies on the sea-coast, about twelve miles distant from Powderham Castle, the local residence of the Devon and Courtenay family. The report proves too true. Mr. Peregrine Courtenay was the second son of William Courtenay, Esq., Assistant Clerk of the Parliaments, and Patentee of the Subpcena office, Court of Chancery. His mother was the Lady Henrietta Leslie, the daughter of Sir Lucas Pepys, Bart. His brother, William Reginald Courtenay, married, in 1830, into the Fortescue family. His sister, Elizabeth, was formerly Maid of Honour to Queen Charlotte. Mr. Courtenay himself was for several years M.P. for Totnes, and was Vice-President of the Committee for Trade, and a Commissioner of the Board of Control. He was born May 31, 1782, and on the Oth of April, 1803, married Anne, daughter of the late Mayow Wynell Mayow, Esq., by whom he has left a family of thirteen children (eight sons and five daughters), all of whom, with his lady, survive their melan choly loss. In 1818, Mr. Peregrine Courtenay first ap peared before the world in a literary point of view by the production of " A Treatise on th( Poor-laws," published by Mr. Murray. It wa dedicated to the Hon. Sturges Bourne, and was , expressive of the writer's repugnance to many of the measures laid down in the Report of the then Committee on - the Poor-laws. It was lau datory of the moderate reform which Mr. Sturger Bourne had already commenced in this line, and was also propositive of certain stronger measures which, with becoming modesty, the writer advo cated. The pamphlet forms a thick octavo, of up wards of 160 pages, and contains a great quantity of condensed reasoning and cogent argument. He does not Profess to point out a course of fun damental reformation for relieving the country from the entire burden of the Poors'-rate, or of correcting those solecisms in political economy by which it is occasioned, but expresses himself as believing that, with a nicer adjustment, the burthen may be made tolerable. He shows that if the Poor-laWs are necessaey, they are neces sary evils that, though the principle is benevo lent, it does not generate benevolence in indivi duals,—for nothing can be less like charity than in order by a Justice, or an allowance by an Iverseer, and that it depends as much upon the temper of the overseer as upon the spirit of the pauper, whether the right of relief shall be esta blished by audacity or fraud. Much misery, he declares, is alleviated by the Poor-laws, which we must not be prepared to disregard, and that the principle, therefore, of reform should be that of preserving all we can of the beneficence of the law, exercising munificence rather than stint. His treatise must be referred to fur an adequate conception of its value. Mr. Courtenay's second literary production was " A Letter to Lord Grenville, on the Sink ing Fund," also published by Murray. It pro ceeded from him while he held his respon sible office under. Government in 1828, and expressed only the sentiments of himself as an individual writer. He entered the field un biassed, and totally ignorant of the opinions en tertained by the then Cabinet, or the Finance Minister, on the great qxestion which at that moment was at issue. In the outset he gives a full and historical explanation of the system of finance established by Mr. Pitt, the author of the Sinking Fund, and pursues Lord Grenville's argument, point by point. The Letter itself is dedicated to this N oblernan, and the foundation on which the true principle of the Sinking Fund is based, is distinctly stated by Mr. Courtenay to be " That the Legislature ought not to impose a perpetual burden upon the resources of the country." This talented Letter forms an octavo of nearly 140 pages, and is lucidly and lumin ously written. Most of Mr.' Courtenay's literary productions bear imprint as coming from Powderham, the ancient seat of the Courtenay family. The late lamented gentleman was an ardent and enthusi astic lover of literature, and the quietness attend. ant on its pursuit. Politician though he was, nothing delighted him more than to emerge out Of the dusty arena of strife and contention, and to bury himself in the • classic bowers which Devon bountifully offered. His virtues fitted him for the shade. Glare and publicity oppressed the quiet nature of his spirit, and Powderhain served as an Elysium to his soul, enfolding him in the tranquillity of its scenes, and the repose of its arcades. This lovely spot, in which he so much 'delighted, is situate in the manor of Kenton, and - its situation, though low, is extremely beautiful, upon the banks of , the river Exe, Which is a mile-and-a-half broad at high water, being within three *miles of. its confluence with the British Channel; the win dows of the Castle command a view of Topsham, and all the shipping that come up there, with many adjacent seats.

Within a short distance of this Castle are a multitude of 604-bathing places, such as Daw fish, Exmouth, Teignmouth, and Torquay, which, on account of their recent origin, present a tin e contrast, says Neale, to th e proud and haughty aspect of Powderham, still glorying in its strength and antiquity, it was at the last of these 4gpe hathincr,, al that the lamented subject of thi s r J. 4' ri l olll44lr l M. Courtenay, met with his death. The third and more important work which Mr. Courtenay produced to the world, consisted of his " Memoirs of the Life, Works, and Cor respondence of Sir William Temple," published by Longman, in 1880. This was a work admi rably calculated to bring out to advantage the powers of Mr. Courtenay, and call forth his poli tical talent, for Sir William Temple was one whose diplomacy.mtinental as well as English politicians have celebrated, and lauded his poli tical maxims. Notwithstanding the frequency and the intensity, as also the singularity of the commendations bestowed upon Sir William Temple, his printed.letteri bad before this time been but imperfeetly . beiore the world, and in a multitude of oases unpublished; considering him, therefore, only as a writer, whose elegant and harmony of language alone was admirtd by all as a master-piece of style, he assuredly deserved that his name should he well recorded. What had been said of him before this time was chiefly to be i found in Abel Boyer's " French Memoi rs ," some papers of Swift, the published letters of Lord Arlington, and the letters of D'Estrades.. These were for the most part poor and meagre, and Mr. Courtenay, pressc4 by. a sense of this, ap plied himself to reap, from other and recondite sources, such biographic or literary treasures as the kingdom . possessed. Accordingly, we find that the BaconsufSuffolk, who were supposed to have some valuable papers in their possession, were 'applied. to; and from the Rev. John Longe, Vicar of Coddonham, in that county, Mr. Cour tenay obtained courteous permission to examine these - precious remains. From the - rare 'archives of the British Museum Mr. Courteuay also ob tained many unpublished parts of Sir William Temple's diplomatic correspondence, and in the State Paper-of ee he found a great deal that had never been published; indeed, from these last he confessed himself to have derived many of hi s most curious particulars, that had hitherto been totally neglected.

The Reformers have contented themselves with the votes obviously allotted to them ; the Tories have experimented upon the numleer of votes that could be found or made, in any property available for the pur pose. We are not beaten by change of opinion. There is no reaction. Our ranks are not thinned. We are as numerous and ready as when we were victorious. But the registries have been crammed end packed. And unless we are content to Le jockeyed in this dirty way out of all that is most precious in political rights, and all that is most important to national pros perity, some effort must be made, and some expense in curred, to clear the registries of men of straw, and en sure a fair representation of the popular interest. Our representative system is professedly based on property ; and there is abundance of property in the hands of Reformers to suffice, by the registration of its assigned and proportionate votes, for protecting the country against the permanent domination of a rapacious faction. An article on "The Ensuing Registration" in the Times of yesterday, affords strong corrob - ratios of the irevr we have taken. With the usual blunder of unprincipletlnes, the writer, in driving at one impression, forgets that he may be producing another impression not so much in harmony with his general object. His statements are by no means the less valuable on that act ount. He says, " Lore] Morpeth has just been turned out of tee West Riding mainly through the atten lion paid to the registry by the Yorkshire Conservatives during the last four years.' Again : "In London, between tee his best candidate on the poll and the expelled Whigs, there was but a difference of some 200 or 300 votes; a difference e holly caused by the exertions of the City Conservative Asso ciation." And his genet alconclusion is, that "as our victories have been the fruits of long and steadily-sustained efforts, so must those efforts now be continued, or we shall speedily fall back into the weakness of 1832." Such has always been our own interpretation of what was fraudulently termed "re ac tion." 'I he trick has succeeded once; but the people must be inert and doltish indeed for it ever to succeed again.. They are likely to pay dear for its temporary triumph: HERALD.—It is impossible to exaggerate the magnitude of the victory which, on all hands, the Conservatives are new achieving. It is impossible to over-rate, perhaps, the present effect or ultimate value of the demonstration which they have made of strength and organisation as little anticipated as wel come (it may be) in some quarters—whilst, in others it may have...appeared more abruptly energetic than a lend political experience had ever led them to anticipate. Next to the extent of the effort which has been made, we prize most the promptitude with which it has been put forth. In the vindi cation of great principles of national policy and domestic legislation, this power of calling the elective franchise into immediate action constitutes one of the most powerful as well as the most constitutional resources of the subject against the unprincipled exercise of official influence and Ministerial authority. If we could only find reason to believe of the great Conservative party which exists among us, that there is as in herent a degree of permanency as there is of in cidental facility of manifestation, in the vigilance they have exerted on the present great occasion ; we should feel perfectly tranquil as to the result of the next elec tion which we may be called upon to witness. What may be the general reasons which induce us to con template the possibility of such an event at no very distant period, we pause not, here, to recapitulate, They have been too often discussed—too ostentatiously, of late, brought under the notice of the public by those organs which are' supposed to give expression to the views and opinions of her geiesty's present Government—to need any further illus tration at our hands. Enough for us, that,—looking to the desperate tenacity with which that Government clings to office, a ft er reiterated defeats, and a long and s h ame f u l ser i es of failures legislative and executive,—there results the more than possibility of their attempting to elede the sentence which they have challenged,—to demur to the jurisdiction, which they have appealed to , There are not wanting instances' in which some of the principal defendants to the heavy charges of public delinquency and self-convicted incompe tency that have been solemnly preferred against the existing Ministry,—have broadly announced the intention of their colleagues to make a second appeal to the nation I This second appeal has been seriously speculated upon as the certain event of the returns, on the pending General Election proving as unfavourable as, now, beyond all speculation, and on sober and realised fact, they are. Nay, Lord Altsrpeth himself, a nobleman undoubtedly of the very highest pretensions on the score of personal character and honour, which any party in this country can boast of, has told us as much. It would be a grievous injustice, a flagrant want of generosity to a political opponent, not to render to his deliberate assertions (arid the more especially in the crisis of his defeat), the homage of our unhesitating confidence. No political differences can so far extinguish this personal respect as to permit us to doubt the sincerity of a statement made, under such circumstances, by Lord Morpeth. But the able speech delivered by him, on the occasion of the returning officer's declaration of the numbers polled at the election for the West Riding of Yorkshire on Monday last, puts the matter beyond all doubt ! ADVERTISER.—WhiIst our cutemporaries are busily oc cupied in attempting to adjust with precision the amount of Tory gains and Liberal loss, by the general election, it may not be inopportune for us to direct attention to the chief causes which have given the Tories a numerical majority of some for midable appearance in the new House of Commons. Great is the exultation of the Tory organs over the "glorious re action" that has taken place in the public mind, and the " glo rious victories" which their faction has thereby achieved. If the Tories are to be believed, the country has been Tecovered from the mental delusion tinder which it laboured, when it forced upon the Crown and aristocracy the Reform Bill of 1832, and the other and numerous salutary reforms which followed in its wake, and now looks back with regret and sorrow upon the wild and un seemly freak' it played during that long period of " unnatural excitement." '1 he Reform Bill and its various adjuncts, fiscal, legal, and social—including the opening o: the East India trade, and the curtailment of the Bank monopoly ; the break ing up of the self-created and corrupt municipal corporations, and the commutation of tithes in England and Ireland ; the diminution of the number of Irish Bishops, and the reduction of the incomes and secular power of the English Bishops • the prohibition of spiritual pluralities, and the enforcement of F Ec clesiastical residence ; the revision of the Bankruptcy and Chancery Courts, and the simplification and economisieg of civil and criminal jurisprudence ; the abolition of fines and re coveries, of imprisonment for debt, and of the punishment of death for innumerable offences by no means commensurate with the awful penalty attached to them ; the extinction of some hundreds of sinecures, the re suction and consolidation of numerous unnecessary offices, and the diminution of exces sive salaries, both at home and in the colonies, the abolition of slavery in the West Indies, and the protection thrown around the factory children in Er. gland and Scotland ; the reduction of the duties on papers, newspapers, and advertise ments; the abolition of the house-tax and of various other vexatious and oppressive taxes assessed for the Crown ; the re vision of the Pension-list, the restrictions placed on the Sove reign in the appropriation of the public moneys, and the con trol given to the House of Commons over the distribution of the Royal bounty ; the reduction of the postage charges, and the numerous improvements introduced into the Post-office establishment, by which rapidity of communication amid eco nomy of expenditure are alike secured. All these, and a thou sand other and equally important measures affecting the political, civil, and social condition—not of a class, but of society at large, and in all parts of the British empire—are at length found out to be of but doubtful value, if not of positively mischievous tendency ; and the country is anxious to confess its errors, and make due reparation for its folly in desiderating and accepting them at the hands of the Whig Government, by dismissing that Go vernment from office, and elevating to power the faction which has strenuously and uniformly resisted each successive step taken towards a better course of policy, and obstinately de fended the old citadel of absolutism and corruption. Such is the inter pretation which the Tories complacently put upon the result of the general election ; and such is the spirit by which their policy is to be enforced and directed I We greatly mis take, however, if many weeks are permitted to pass over Tory heads before the film will be removed from their eyes, and the veil be torn from their hearts. The problem of the apparent growth of Toryism may be easily solved, without recourse to any presumed re-action in favour of Tory policy having taken place in the public mind. POST.—The writhings and twistings of the Whig-Radical Journals in their present circumstances of discomfiture are most ludicrous. The Chronicle of yesterday quotes the new number of the Edinburgh Review on " the grounds and ob jects of the Budget." The article it seems is " distinguished for ability, candour, and liberality." But then we are told that " the impression which it leaves on the mind of the reader is gloomy in the extreme." Now, if there be really candour in the article, we are not at all surprised that a Whig-Radical, writing on " the grounds and objects of the Budget" should be very considerably in the dismals, for truly a more melancholy failure than this same Budget has proved, from beginning to end, we believe no unfortune party ever before had to complain of. Still we do not see very clearly the use of the Edinburgh Review coming out to make its readers "gloomy in the extreme," for we fancy they have materials for gloom sufficiently abundant at the 'present " crisis," without a dose of " blue and yellow" bile to help them. The Chronicle further tells us that " the article is chiefly devoted to to the sugar branch of the budget." In other words, the author takes a sugar-stick for his theme. Strange that an enlightened Whig should leave an impression " gloomy in the extreme " when writing about a sugar-stick. Swift, we remember, was merry in writing his meditations upon a broom-stick. We imagine it would have been well for the Edinburgh if it could have have kept its Broom-stick and left the sugar-stick alone ; but even blue and yellow wisdom will fail sometimes. In one column •of the Chronicle it would seem as if nothing would please it. Even the very grapes are sour. Not only does it growl with the Edinburgh man over the sugar branch of the Budget," but it makes a most singular as well as lugue brious groaning over the dismissal of Lord Howick from Northumberland. It says that, according to Sir Robert Peel, the return of Lord Howick "ought to have been looked upon as a gain to the Conservative party ;" and yet it growls and howls because Lord Howick was not returned, hut kicked out, poor man, with very little ceremony. How is this? Surely, if the return of Lord Howick would have been a gain to the Conservative party, the virtuous Chronicle ought to rejoice 'that he was not returned. We hope our contemporary is not going to turn Conservative on our hands, in order to keep . in with the Government party. A little further on the Chron i cle states, .with its accustomed decorum and respect for truth, that—" The fact has been recorded undisguiseelv, however re gretfully, that, for the moment, the Queen and 'the people are overborne by the Tory and monopolist oligarchy." Alas how doleful t And yet we hope her Majesty enjoys her accustomed cheerfulness, the rather, as when her Ma jesty appealed to the people, her good sense is likely to be satisfied with her people's decision. Hew the people ate to be overborne by the decision to which the people have come, we leave enlightened Whig-Radicals to explain. But after all this grief and grumbling, the Chronicle discovers in the next co lumn that nothing so bad for the Conservatives could have happened as their success at the general election, and that they are already in a very ticklish condition by reason of the majority which they have gained ! We wonder what our Contemporary would be at ? In the meantime these chang ing, or dissolving views, as exhibited by the Chronicle r are very amusing. TlalES.—We have Purposely welted till the excitem en t o f the great political struggle in which the country has been en gaged should have in some degree subsided, before calling the attention of our readers to the progress of a movement of a very different character, on the part of those who are intrusted with the government of the Church of England.

HORACE TWISS AND LORD CHARLES FITZROY. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SW Stn,—My attention has been called to a speech of Mr. Horace Twiss, in the Bury Herald, and inserted in the Times of the 2d July, in which the following passage occurs:—" Mr. Miss then referred to his own official and political life, and contrasted it with the Parliamen tary career of Lord Charles, of whose performances in the House of Commons, he believed the sum and sub stance to have been a couple of motions, containing • accusations against that able and estimable officer, Sir , Howard Douglas, which charges the 'House of Commons, . in both instances, declined to entertain." Content to enjoy, during a residence of many years in this country, the blessings of British freedom, I have thought it hitherto my duty, as a foreigner, to avoid all intermeddling in the clash of those political conflicts, in which the vitality of that freedom has its origin; nor even, as an lonian, should I have interposed on the pre ' sent occasion, had I not seen his generous advocacy' of the rights of my countrymen, brought forward on the hustings as a charge against Lord C. Fitzroy, and the very prudence with which he has ciaiducted that advo cacy to success, instanced against • him as a proof of feebleness and inertness of purpose. On the merits. of the question in dispute between the lonians and .the tyranny which has so long overshadowed their prosperity, and shackled all their energies, I shall not attempt at present to trouble your readers; suffice it to say, that until our cause was nobly taken up by, Lord Fitzroy, the lonian Islands (a free State under British protection) presented a spectacle, to the neighbouring States of Europe, of worse than Russian despotism, Austrian espionage, or Turkish recklessness of all rule and right. To resist was impossible —to remonstrate useless—to pe tition not useless only, but dangerous ; while even to think, to speak, or to read an opinion contrary to that of Sir H. Douglas and his subordinates, was sufficient,to bring upon the offender a charge of conspiracy, and ex pose him to the seizure of his papers, to exile, to im prisonment,- and to (what, from my own personal expe rience, I may almost call worse) published calumnies against him in the official Gazettes, despatches, and widely circulated correspondence of her Majesty's Am bassador at Athens, and her Majesty's Lord High Cow missioner in the lonian Islands. tinder these circumstances, with a full consciousness of his danger, and Willing to endure it, the Chevalier Mustoxidi, an eminent scholar and distinguished citizen, enjoying the highest consideration in his country, ad dressed a memorial to the British Government, calling upon it, in the name of his countrymen, for protection and redress, and some modifications in our Constitution. Upon this memorial Lord Fitzroy based the first of those motions, which Mr. H. Twiss calls " accusations against that able and estimable officer, Sir Howard Douglas." The result of the announcement of Lord Fitzroy's first motion, was a despatch from Lord J. Russell, in which his Lordship, after annunciating what he considered the principles on which the lonian Islands should be go verned, conceded the necessity of the reform indicated in Mr. Mustoxidi's memorial, and suggested to the tord High Commissioner an inquiry into the practicability of putting them immediately into effect. Upon the announcement of this despateh, having thus obtained all •he sought, Lord C. Fitzroy withdrew his motion, which was in fact merely a notice for papers, on which to base a preliminary inquiry. But,tharged with, a mission to examine his own actions, and show the policy of all his previous acts, what was the condu r t of Sir Howard Douglas, the Lord High Commissioner ? He retorted upon those who complained of hia adminis tration, charges of disaffection to the British protection ;. accused them of being Russian partisans ;, criminate& them as implicated in some Philorthodox conspiracy at Athens, which never had existence ; seized on the papers of Mr. Miistoxicli and other emlnetit citizens ; arid wrote off a reply to Lord J. Russells despatch, declarin , , that such was the state of feeling in the islands, that tut_ grant of liberal institutions to the islands would he fraught with imminent danger to the' British protection, and must therefore be indefinitely postponed. Upon this despatch Lord Fitzroy grounded a motion for inquiry into the truth of its statensenti i but Sir IL. Douglas having been superseded in the Ineantime by Mr. Stuart Ma c k enz i e , her Weaty's ?Ministers consi dered that th e y h a d conceded enor.gb, and that f ur th er inquiry might be looked upon its personally invidious to Sir H. Douglas, They th:erefore associated themselves with the personal fri•l'eds of Sir 11. Douglas, and liege, tived th er e motio" of Lord C. Fitzroy. Th e ma i n object, h?WerN;, "'. e . that motion was obtained—the retirement o t Sir 11. Douglas, and the registry of a public rezion strance against certain acts on his part. This, then, is a sufficient testimony of The services rendered to the lonian people by Lord .Vitsroy ; if more were wanting, let me enumerate the r - ratitude expressed by all loni a n c iti zens ; t h e a dd rcP'es fro mall the islands the tribute of a go ld medal Ptruck in his h onour , an d lately presented to him laud, lastly, the heartfelt grati tude of all who, like. myself; have been cognizant from the beginning of li Lordship's hearty zeal and untiring exertions in our: cause.

EXCLUSIVE DEALING.---A society has been formed by the Tories, for the purpose of encouraging exclusive dealing. The proposal is an immoral one, be cause its object is to tempt or terrify men into com mitting the crime of voting against their consciences. But it is both unwise and impracticable. It is unwise, because it is more likely to provoke anger than alarm. Englishmen may be persuaded, but will never be bullied, into supporting any party. The very attempt to dictate to a tradesman is an insult which he is sure to resent, and if he appears outwardly to conform, his efforts are privately directed to advance his real opinions. For one who is thus awed into silence or a vote, three will be roused by the consciousness of attempted tyranny into active resistance and tenfold efforts to defeat the tyrants who try to tramyle on them. It is unwise; also, as it provokes r•etaliation, and Tory tradesmen would equally obje t ',; to have every Whig customer crossed out of ineir books. At Bath the system was attempt , A and it t has produced the result ex hibited -- 6 i the last election ; indignation overcame. fear' and threats led to active .resistance. • Some oankers there having tried the game, the insulted tradesmen, whose franchises were thus sought to be taken from them, resolved that it was one at which two parties could play, and they immediately determined to refuse to take the notes, when presented, of the banks which had used undue influences, and half-a-dozen tradesmen might,: by so doing, break any bank in a few days. And it is impracticable,. for political connexion is but one of many that rule the affairs of life. Men must deal with those who deal with them ; they have friends to serve, relations to oblige, whom they cannot afford to sacrifice for that which their consciences must tell them is, after all, a serious moral wrong. Add to these who cannot act upon the system, the many whose good sense and good feeling will not permit them to coerce the consciences of their neighbours, and the remnant who are foolish or unprincipled enough to act upon it will be so small, that they will be ashamed of themselves. Exclusive dealing has been often attempted, and in many places, and nowhere has it succeeded, for it is contrary to the irresistible law of commerce, that in duces every one to buy where we can obtain the best and cheapest article, without reference to the politics, religion, or intelligence of the seller.—.
