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 se doing, they were further convinced by feeling that tact in in vestigating the latent sources of many disease 3, 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 ne hesitation in saying that there is no member of society by %horn the book will not be found useful, whether such person hold the relation of a Parent. a Preceptor, or a Clergyman. The PARENT, who beholds his beloved child pining away, and fast approaching to a premature grave, in conse quence of some disease, which, for want of careful investiga tion of its real cause, has been set down to the score of con sumption, will, on perusing this work, be astonished to find, that in nine-tenths of the cases of-young persons of both sexes, who perish of what is called pulmonary consumption, heart disease, tapes, &c., the sole and exclusive origin has been the indulgence in certain destructive habits practised by youth much more frequently than it. is at all suspected. The PRECEPTOR, also, who holds (temporarily at least), the relation and responsibility of a parent, will, by perusing this ism*, be directed and very much assisted in investigating and detecting the too often con cealed practices so often introduced into schools, whereby the health and ultimately the lives of his pupils are sure to be com promised, unless the evil be arrested in proper time. He will here find a clue to guide him through the intricate mazes of this moral labyrinth, and a standard whereby to judge, when delicacy of health should appear to attack any of his young charges, what the real causes of such attack may be, and thus he 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.

This little work is not only distinguished but contra-distin guished from all others which have preceded it, its pages being exelnsively devoted to the curative department, and hence it may be justly hailed as a great national desideratum. It con thins above one .hundred choice recipes, adapted to v a r ious stiges of the compl a i n t, w hi c h i s divided into three distinct heads and l.rogressive stages of treatment, viz.:-Ist; The cleansing, or detergent ; 2dly, The strengthening; Or • tOnie ; and lastly, The alterative, or purifying.

A Correspondent says :—;-" It is surprising that any doubt Should ex i s t• as to t h e measures that will be adopted by the Peel Administration... We may ho eon • fident that the i ncome or property tax will be resumed. In 1816, Sir Robert Peel* and Mr. Goulburn voted for the continuanee. of the .property tax, then ten cent., and 17t per cent. on all the yeomanry or others occu pier,: of their own land ; although it was proved by Lord Brougham's producing the resolution of the house of Commons, that the tax should cease the April Viiktt• ing the t erm i nat i on of the war ; and it 1;g:; iiitiee been shown clearly that the continu:Aue 4 or that onerous burden was not wanted.

One of thew instantly stabbed the twob tu , arty ftieer t s h e h n e f % l i i i d lg th f e el s le a n me t t e o t t h h e e man who had s T eiz h e e d g oi r h o e uil • dt)Tia"thrtled in blood, the smugglers escaped. Ono of the officers died almost immediately, and the we of .the other is despaired of, NEW ZEALAND,. The Coast/Mae/me/ has the following _on the French . culony at New Zealand : " The firmness of the chief of the French colony, and; it must also be added, the conciliatory spirit, of the English Magistrate, have contributed to maintain tjle independence demanded for it by Capt. Lavatel, withnnt the slightest interruption of harmony between the Freneh and English colonists. In the colonies of Australia tuntNew Zealand it is the opinion of all parties, no matter to which nation they belong, that France ought to retain the privilege of this independence, at least for the large extent of land Which forms Banks's Peninsula, now in her , possession, and which contains ports at all times accessible to ships of war and whalers." Letters from Akaroa, the southern island of this p6ninsula, dated the Ist and 26th March last, bring us the following details. Tlik rapid progress of the English colony at Nicholson (the northern island) surpasses all idea. Although founded only on the 22d January, 1840, it bad already 3,000 inhabitants, and 600 to 700 louses. There were in the port, in February last, 23 vessels, of which 5 were of three masts. Capi talists, commercial agents of the principal houses of Sydney and London, and persons who in England would occupy a distinguished rank, the son of Sir John Sinclair, a son of .Lord Petre, Se., were actively engaged in commercial pursuits. One of the French colonists, who arrived in the Comte du Puri; has fixed himself at a league from 'Alinroa, and, with his wife, cultivates a Itsciare (two acres and a half) a ground. In five months he has gained 1,500 f. by the sale of vegetables. The reports which were current as to the probability of the rupture of the peace of Europe had not in the slightest degree alrected the friendly relations between the: French ctdony at Akaroa and the English colony at Nicholson, At a dinner given at' Nichol Son, to celebrate the arrival of the first'. colonists, a young naturalist, M. de: Beligny, civil administrator and - mayor of the French cOlony, who had been earnestly invited to be present, met itith a most cor dial reception, and.had the pleasure of InOiring a toast of prosperity to the French colony, antj -thipr ? ervatlen of the friendly re] a Ow* hntswen ths PrepOst4l hy Colonel. Wakefield, received.with acclama tion. The whole colony of Akaroa concurs in doing justice to the great wisdom and prudence of M. Lavaud, whose protection is constant, .and to whose firmness, in the first instance, is owing the maintain:time of the na tionality of the colony, The presence of the Bishop, M. de Pampallier, who has visited his fellow-country men, has been equally efficacious. His 'name is in every mouth, and he is blessed by the natives, whom by even-, gelical patience he has brought to understand the first precepts of religion and morality. The - question of the sovereignty of these islands has not yet been decided. The. statu quo, has been established by _agreement be tween Capt. Lavaud and the English Commandant, until the - two' Governments shall have come to an 'under standing on ',the subject. Negotiations are at. present • proceeding in ; ondon, wh eh have ...been retarded . by the embairlissments of the English Cabinet. With. out doubt the tonstitution of the new Ministry and - the arrival of 'our Ambassador will ,permit the settlement of the question:. The most ..just -solution,. in .our opinion,. and that which would be of . a nature tp conciliate all in terests, would be to proclaim the ports and 'territories of the two islands.free, recognising the right of all .nations to trade freely, as they..have, hitherto done. England could :rink rpfustf o to atteede to such apropolition without, belying the principles of liberality in commercial matters Which she has been incessantly, .calling upon us 1,4 apply in the negotiatiOns which she has had with us of years. It appears that the French Company, in conse quence of the numerous applications which have been made to it by : persons wishing to go out, is preparing a • second expedition."

Goldsmid, Bart., and several others, Gn Monday morning, about twelve o'clock, as one of the Vauxhall steamers was passing through Westminster-bridge, on the Surrey side, the motion of the paddles caused the body of a man to float to the sur face of the water. It was conveyed to the bone-house of St, John's Church, Waterloo-road. The deceased is a man about 40 years of age, and was dressed in a blue coat, black trousers, and dark waistcoat. His linen was marked " 11. W., 3." In his pocket were seven small keys on a ring, half-a-crown in silver, and fourpenee in copper, besides three 1e,0.54a keys, one of which was a room-door key, In the fob of his trousers was a bill for a publict , house scorce amounting to 135., and made out in the name of " Mr. Whitfield .to S. 'Rutter." The body, from its decomposed s t a t e , h a d evidently been in the water for some time.- AFFLICTIVE VisiTATios.—At the late meet ing of the British Association, at Plymouth, Dr. Fowler gave an accoant of a young woman, now in Itotberhithe Workhouse, who has the threefold infirmity of being deaf, dumb, and blind. The unfortunate indiyidual, who is about twenty years of age, was born deaf ancl, dumb, and blinded by small-pox when about three years old. She does not hear the loudest efforts of the voice, but starts on a poker, hung by a string against her ear, being struek against a grate. Touch is the only sense by which others can communicate with her; or which she employs in examining objects and persons ; and though sho - possesses both taste and smell, she never appears to have used them. Until within two or three years since, her existence appeared to be merely animal, but then a marked difference took phL:e-in her habits, and she became as attentive- to her dress awl personal decorum as any other girl of her age. 5;,h4 tbels her way without a guide to every part of the workhouse, recognizes all its inmates by the feel of their hands, makes her bed, and sews, not only plain work, but even the noc+re intricate parts of dress. She is very tenaciowi of what she deems her own, and was much 11 1 ,Q.Ued with a shilling which was put into her hand, smiling, curtseying, and feeling it eagerly fur some tuna after. SHOCKING ACClDENT.—Saturday morning, between nine and ten o'clock, amen named Peter Adams, in the employ of Messrs. Brown and Co., brewers, Pro vost-street, City-road, was following his occupation of attending the copper, and whilst standing upon the lat ter, in the act of pushing open a window, for the pur pose of letting out the steam, the poor fellow slipped into it, and was instantly immersed to his midlle in . the boil ing liquid. He, however, lo s t no tim e i n scram bling out of his truly horrible situation, and hii fellow-workmen assisted in dragging from his person his lower garments. Medical aid was promptly obtained, .and the scalds hav ing been dressel he was conveyed to St. Bartholomew's Hospital, where he remains in a deplorable state. Mrs. :,fountain was born in the year 1768, and in 1782 she appeared in a piece called Mount Parnassus, the principal characters of which were represented by children. Sho sustained one called Maclaine Hazard with great eclat at the Haymarket, where, however, she only performed a few nights. During that and the, following year she remained in St. George's-fields, where she was a great favourite, and where she received two guineas a week, a pretty considerable remuneration (then) fur one of her tender years. Mrs. Bland (then Miss Rotnanzini) and Miss Wilkinson were then her contemporaries. • After this she travelled round the country with her father, mother, brother, &c., giving a selection of opera, play, ballet, &c., interspersed with evolutions on the rope. This scheme, however, proved neither .pleasant nor profitable. And in this year we hear of her im portuning Tate Wilkinson (a namesake, bat not a rela don) Por a situation. Her request was very unwillingly complied with. • Tate devotes some pages to a notice of her in his " - Wandering Patentee." He engaged her at eighteen shillings a week, and she opened at Hull, as Patty, in the Maid of the Mill, and made a pretty de cided hit ; but Mrs. Jordan was at that period the star of the company, and as a situation had been made for our heroine, she had few.opportunities for displaying her talent. Rosetta, however, brought her somewhat into notice, and, in 1784, when an engagement at Drury-lane tuck Mrs. Jordan from the north, the unanimous call of the York audience placed Miss Wilkinson on the vacant throne. When the Poor Soldier was first produced, Tate got it iip in his circuit, Miss Wilkinson representing Patrick. This operetta, however, was not very productivo at York, but at Leeds the inhabitarits were so pleased with her performance of the Poor Soldier, that several gen ' tlemen made up a handsome purse, as they found her private character equally entitletl t t i sleet, and re quested the manager to present it to her, wbiuh•he did the next morning, in the following . mannix:•-•,‘" Here, is a reward. fur your performance of -th2i pkil you • played last night ; but more particularly for your re spectability in a character which I hope you will always he perfect in—that of a good daughter." In . 1786, we Lind Miss Wilkinson at Liverpool, where, both as an actress and singer, she was much admired. Her benefit was extremely lucrative, and besides captivat e ing the apathetic inhabitants of that commercial spot, she wounded the heart of Mr. Mountain, then leader of the band at the concert hall and theatre at Liverpool. This gentleman is a native of Ireland; and, as the inhabitants of that country are remarkable for their persuasive _powers with the fair sex, we cannot wonder to find Miss Wilkinson 0 a few months resign her baptismal appella 7 tion for thethore lofty one of Mountain. In the latter end of the year 1786, her father'itng,aged her to the proprietors' of Drury lane but being uttered better, terms by the manager of Covent-garden, she en gaged for threeyears upon a rising salary. Miss Wil kinson _made her appearance' in the characters •of Fidelia in the' Foundling, and Leonora in the Padlock. The celebrity - Slie.got in the country had reached London before her appearance ,on the Covent-garden boards ; it is, • therefore, scarcely necessary to Observe, that her .perfor mance Mei:With the reiterated plaudits of a crowded . house.' Before the expiration of her first season, Mr. Moun tain canto host on.the wings of love, though by the Li verpeottinal, town; and soon made the lovely Vocali.sl his wile. Mr. :.N.lonatain subsequently led the band at Covent-garden ;Theatre. At the close Offier metropolitan engagement she visited the country from which her partner in life came, and was particularly admired in Dublin, where they both ob tained a host of friends. In 1790 we finellier again at Covent-garden, and also at the Haymarket. She quitted Covent-garden in con sequence of her salary being stopped during a short ill ness. .She visited Dublin once more, where she . was again warmly 'greeteiL After this she arranged her differences with Mr. Barris, and again gave her serVicts to his theatre. But another Ind more vital parrel arose, aria Mrs. Ilountaih again withdrew, Vauxhall Gardens now obtained her services, and her syren strains proved exceedingly attractive. Mr. Mountain, we be lieve, led the band at.the Gardens at this Feria Dis gusted with London managers, Mrs. M'ountain went to Bath, where she placed herself under the tuition of the accomplished Ratizzini.-: • Whilst at.

I. ~.....rnirtfr"- THE METEORS. On the very interesting subject which has of late oc cupied so much of public attention, both in Europe and America, the periodical . return of the meteors in August and November, we have been favoured with the following communication from Sir John Herschel : To the 'Editor of the • Athenceum.—Sir, the bright moonlight 'of the 9th inst. having prevented my obtain ing satisfactory observations of the meteors, to whose periodical return on the 9th and 10th of this month Professor Quctelet has drawn much attention, as being more regular than the displays of the 12th and 13th of November, allow me, in place of observations far the current year, to offer, ai my contribution to our stock of knowledge on the subject, the fol lowing incidental mention of such an occurrence, which ecrurs in Sir W. Hamilton's account of the great eruption of Vesu vius in Aug. 1799, printed in the Transactions of the Dotal Society, volume 70, which will be read with the more in terest, the periodical nature of the phenomena being then unknown, and its occurrence being ascribed by him to some local electrical agency developed by the volcanic ejections. " August 9, 1799," after describieg the phenomena of the eruption during the day till be ven o'clock at night, "when all was calm,' Sir IV. Hamilton goes on to say, " it was universally remarked, that the air this night, for many hours after the eruption, vas filled with meteors, such as are vulgarly called falling stars. They shot generally in a horizontal direction, leaving a luminous train behind them, but which quick ly disappeared. The night was remarkably fine, star light, and without a cloud. This hind of dectriral fire seemed to he harmlcss, and never to reach the ground, where as that with which the black volcanic cloud of last night was pregnant, appeared mischievous, like that which at tends a severe thunder-storm." The meteors of August 9, 1840, in so far as I observed them, radiated almost without exception from a point in the heavens very near the star Gamma, in the constellation Perseus ; which is almost coincident with the point (near the star B Ca melopardali) from which I observed them to emanate on the 10th August, 1839. Facts of this nature appear al most decisive in favour of the opinion that a zone or zones of these bodies revolve about the sun, and are in tersected by the earth in its annual revolution.—l have the honour, &c.

CORN-LAWS.— While we write, a great part of the inhabitants on the east coast of Scotland are engaged, directly or indirectly, in the herring fishery, and with every prospect of obtaining abundance of fish. The curers have contracted with the fishermen at a rate which, with the price of barrels and salt, brings the cost value to about one pound her barrel. Where are they to ob tain a profit of this outlay ? The Baltic ports are already well supplied with last year's fish, and the West India markets are now virtually shut against them. The consumption in Scot land is trifling, and London and Liverpool take but a very limited supply of reds. The only hope the fish-curer has, at the present moment, is from the advance of the price of wheat until it reach the maximum, when the opening of the ports will encourage the importation of grain, in - return for which, herrings will be taken, as in 1839. Now, were the Corn-laws repealed. there would be no necessity for speculating upon a contingency of this kind as a mutual exchange of commodities would take place, and a steadiness would be imparted to the bu-iness, which would be alike profitable to both parties. Why, then, are those engaged in fisheries not bestirring themselves to agitate for repeal ?—Aberdeen Herald. THE DUKE OF WELLINGTON'S UMBRELLA. —A fancy fair for charitable purposes was held last week at Cross-deep, between Twickenham and Ted dington, by some of the ladies resident in that neigh bourhood. The Duke of Wellington having been pre sent, had gone away, leaving his umbrella behind him, whereupon Lady P— immediately said—" Who will give 20 guineas for the Duke's umbrella ?" In one moment a purchaser was found, and on his Grace's return the fact was communicated to him, when he good-naturedly remarked—" I'll soon supply you with umbrellas if you can sell them so much to the advantage of the charity." The Gazelle de France says—" We have just received a stmunons to appear before the 'Tribunal Of Correctional Police, for having given, like the Gazette des '4).olll:aux and the Quotidienne, an account of the trim of the Courrier derhere for libel." .--,( 04 several of the principal. States of Europe, and the.pro portion that tax bears to the general revenue in each of them, in order that your reallers , may 'compare, these amounts and proportions with the insignificant land-tax of oui:.olVu'eetnitry.. In France, in the year 1838, the land-tax is stated in. the above. work at 261,852,762 francs (10,474,1101. ster ling), out of a total revenue of 1,053,420,078 francs (or 42.13G,8021: sterling), that is to say, about one-jburth .of the whole. In Austria the, total revenue is stated at one hundred and thirty millions of guilders, which, at 2s. ld. each amounts to 1 . 3,541,66 e/. sterling, and of this the land each, tax amounts to forty-two millions of guilders, or 4,375,0001; sterling, nearly one-third of the whole. In Prussia the land-tax amounts to 9,735 thalers, in a total revenue of 51,740,000 thalers, which is nearly one -fifth of the whole. 'ln-Sweden, I find, on reference to -an other authority, that. the direct taxes on land amounted,. in 1827, to 12,622,621 rix dollars, out of a total revenue of 19,465,970 rix dollars, or nearly two-thirds of the whole ! In England, on the contrary, the land-tax actually paid amounts to little more than one million sterling ; or, including the portion of it that has been redeemed, its extreme limit is two millions out of a total revenue of forty-eight millions, which is a twenty-fourth part of the whole. • When we inquire how it is that such injustice can be found to exist in a country claim ing to be the most enlightened of Europe, the obvious answer is, that the taxation of England has hitherto been fixed by an oligarchy of landowners. That the land of the United Kingdom is, tesay the least, -equally valuable with that of France, might be taken as self-evident ; but having embarked in statistics, I shall proceed to prove it by some quotations from the work al ready mentioned: For the year 1836 the total gross value of the agricultural production of Great Britain and Ireland is given at 5,725,720,000 francs, or 229,028,8001 sterling ; and that of France at 5,237,178,000 francs, or 9 09,607,1201. steeling ; and the net rtvenue , derivable from the land of the. United Kingdom is, for the• same year, given at 2,200,000,000 francs, or! 88 millions ster-_, ling ; while the net revenue of France is stuteo . - -- at ' 1,685,1-784000-francs, or 67,407,1201. sterling,' laollows, therefore, according to justice on this•comparaon of the resources, of the still •in 4he two countries, thetfthe land tax of the United Kingdom. should amount to thirteen or fourteen millions sterling, instead of two millions, which has been its extreme amount. To those persona who argue that inconsequence of the amount of English, taxation • the agriculturists of this •country cannot compete With .foreigners, it may. with en-, tire truth be replied,.thet the taxation of France (42, mil-, . 1 ,1 lions sterling.) is much greater in comparison t h e ge - neral resources of that country than a _taxation of, forty eight millions is to the weelth,,of;gnglarnl. • Inanklition, however, to the tlegnieney ofs eleven mil lions, which appears as ahovo to exist in_ the landed tax ation of thia..Pollniry, upon the: , equitable French princi7. ple of obtaining revenue from each class of •the commu nity somewhat in- proportion ,to its wealth, there are a multitude of unfair minor exemptions also enjoyed by the landowners and agriculturists of Great, Britain. For example, there is no duty on Ow deieent of landetf property, however remote the degree of propin:l quity may be. No toi is • levied farmers'ers' dogs or farmers hi.J . osca —no stamp duty for fire insurance on farming stock—and even as respects the window-tax, that portion of their dwelling-houses which is devoted to the business of their avocations is Specially exempted from that duty. Indeed, had the constitution of England formally proclaimed it to be the first business of Parlia ment to exalt agriculture at the expense of every other interest in the country, :that object could scarcely have been performed more effectually than it has been. I perfectly remember that the principal reason urged for taking off the duty on salt, many years since, was an expectation that the article might be extensively ps in • agriculture. It was the Farmers' interest l a i,le-ewise tho' was chiefly consulted in taking off tjAe. ta:e on leuth it is much to be hoped the m.e.4sure may . 11P- - c b .- n l Yt n ed them, for it. has cc;-taioly relieved no e commtuti i ty. unless It may .posail-,7' mulier•St - be . other class of the tanners and shoe- L e~ ailing agrigultural interest that was ....Lied when the House of Commons untowardly „ed a reduction of the•malt-tax, in oidei that the far mers might find a more extensive market for their hdrz ley, and,this without regirdingl either: the state of 'the public revenue or the morality of the country, which would have been sadly injured thereby. Even down to the most minute matters, the same unjust favouritism to--, wards agriculture is manifested, in so much, that on turnpike-roads farmcr4' carts conveying lime, or any other manure, pay no toll. What manures are to a farmer, coal, wood, iron, wool, cotton, and dye-woods, are to the manufacturers, yet no such exemption has been accorded to them. - Again, the.weWitltyjartnirs and landOWnei's (flu- It is only such that use them) have long been specially ex empted from any duty , in such tiles as are used for drain age, while the poor cottager by the road-side either is, or until very lately certainly was, taxed Cr the materials of the humble roof with which he covers his head. It waal the againcon.• ri F t'! - • But all these minor exemptions, though collectively they may, perhaps, amount to two or three millions per annum, sink into insignificance when we come to consi der those monster iniquities of the age, the corn and provision laws, by means of which many of the principal articles of food are absolutely prohibited, while the rest are loaded ith sliding duties which generally exclude them from use. By an excellent table compiled by Mr. Bischoff, from official documents, and published by Waterlow, of Birchin-lane, it appears that, on a com parison of the price of wheat during the last fifty yeas in England and Berlin, after allowing ten shil lings per quarter for bringing it over, the people of Great Britain - have, during that period, paid eleven' hundred and eighty five millions sterling more for wheat alone, than they would have done under a free trade system. If to this amount we add only an equal sum, for the difference of price in barley, oats, peas, beans, butchers' meat, butter, cheese, &c., we ar rive at a grand total of two thousand three hundred and twenty millions sterling, which the landlords of Eng land have extorted from the community during these fifty years, being above three times the amount of the whole National Debt. Enormous and almost incredible as this sum may appear, amounting, when divided by the number of years, to forty-seven millions, four hun dred thousand pounds annually, yet it is fully con firmed by all the great statistical authorities of the kingdom, who have, from other data, variously esti mated the amount of the landowners' tax on the commu nity, at sums ranging from forty to fifty millions an nually. Even that excellent and intelligent public officer, Mr. Hume, so long Secretary to the Board of Trade, with all the caution and reserve of his official character, esti mates, if I recollect aright, in his evidence before, the Parliamentary Committee, the annual amount of the landowners' tax at about thirty-five millions. The re peal of these iniquitous laws should be considered en tirely as a landowners' question, for the farmers and agricultural labourers would be as much benefited b it as any other classes of the people ; and when English landowners declare that they cannot compete with the foreign producer, in consequence of high taxation, should be reminded of the equal taxation of France Holland, and Belgium, and that they have hitherto con tri ved to throw two-thirds of the general taxation of the country, on the commercial classes ; notwithstanding which, our manufacturers have, after paying those taxes, and at least an equal amount of bread-tax, to compete with the foreign producer in every market of the world. That they can now no longer do so with effect, seems entirely owing to the taxes on food, and the want of a reciprocal interchange of commodities with other countries. The soil of England generally is equal to any in Europe, and so, perhaps, is also its climate for general agricultural purposes ; nor is there any other country that is so well supplied with a variety of manu-es, as well as with roads, canals, and railways, for the transport of farm produce ; added to which, the English system of agriculture is vastly su perior to that pursued in any other country—all which sufficiently proves the non-necessity of any agricultural protection, and the entire reasonableness of a free trade in every article of provisions. Were the undeviating rules of impartiality and jus tice to be consulted, the only question now would be, how the landowners of England, in addition to the con cession of a free corn trade, could sufficiently atone for their past extortion? At present, every manufacturing operative pays at least one-third of his hard won wages towards the landowners' tax, and the sum of ten or fif teen pounds which is thus levied on each family of them, is about equal to the hundred roubles which the nobles of Russia demand from each of their serfs by a more direct, and consequently more honest, system of slavery. My Lord Stanley's avowed principle that it is meet and proper that the families of a thousand mechanics should be starved, in order that each aristocratic land owner may be able to maintain a certain number of sleek hunters and livened lacqueys, has been already too long the law of the land. Nor has the Lord of Netherby been more fortunate in his Scriptural quotations ; and his allusion to ancient Tyre, a city which sank into in significance in the same way, and possibly owing to the same causes that are now sinking England—namely, selfishness, and want of enlightenment in her rulers. In reference to the consequences of English illiberality on his country, Lord Byron happily remarks— " What Athens was in science, Rome in power, And Tyre appeared at her meridian hour, 'Twas thine at once fair 'Albion to have been Earth's chief dictatress, ocean's mighty qtleen ; But Rome declined, and Athens strewed the plain, And Tyre's proud piers lie shattered in the main." Should Sir James Graham happen to visit the manu facturing districts of England twenty years hence, he may perchance find, should his favourite Corn-law be continued, that those colossal hives of industry w hich are, though unacknowledged, the chief sources of his present income, have become as deserted and useless to the world as the shattered piers of Tyre. In conclusion, I would beg leave once more to refer to 111 r. Bishoff's excellent table for a refutation of the hollow arguments which were lately used by the Tories for 1• electioneering' purposes, viz., that wages rise or fall with the rise or fall in the price of provisions. In the year 1796 the wages of a Sussex labourer were 12s. per week, TIIE STRAITS OF THE DAIWA. NELLES. The following article has been published by the Augs burg Gazette, relative to the Straits of the Dardanelles:- 4 The Porte, in its declaration of the 7th January, • 1807, complained of, the abuse. by Russia of the pas. sage which had been gunned to her to the .Seven . Islands. •Russia, in contempt of the neutrality of the Porte, had profited by this passage to effect a, landing on the coasts of Italy. The English fleet, une.er the orders of Admiral Duckworth, appeared in the Dardanelles on the 20th of February, but ree-red on the Ist of March without effecting anything. hiring this time the Turks, under the direction of General Sebasfali, had placed Constantinople in a state of defottee, so t h at t h e English could not retire without sustaining con s id e ; ra bl e loss. The English - do hot care to talk much about this ex pedition. It was a vain demonstration, like that of the • RuSsian Admiral, who on the 20th ofJuly, 1770, entercl_ • the straits with his vessel, had his tea serv e d on de c k, '; then returned to his fleet. The Baron de Tott then reeeireti orders to put the castles in abetter state of dekee,„ ; Ad a i r , the negoemtor of the peace of 1809, has defAtled, in the - ' Edinburgh Reriew, the English polies , •i4' 1807, but • ! places all the ridiculous part of it ss,. the account 0 4 • Russia, which power, he ismenils, deserted .her ally. , _Prussia, the bettor to follow - tip 'her • projects of eon -- quest on the Dsnube.

This right of the Sultan ws-. based on the principle of his possession of the strait:.. and this right was so strong as to confer• the power o. a passage 'through • them. Others pretend that the passage should only be granted spontaneously by iflee Sovereign Who had the dominion . Of the sea. It isstasit observed that Russia constantly endeavours to - externi her influence in the Black Sea to the prejudice of tit- Ottoman Porte. The Porte instinctivel) comprehend :(even had the jealousy' of France towards Ru.ssits been less strong) how far that power would go it - temporary possession only were given of the sea of Azoi: Twice the Russians hare restored Azof—at the peace 0 , Truth, in 1739, and in that of Belgrade—by which Ills-.sia renounced the navigation of the Black Sea, littsssan vessels should not be built in the sea of Azof nor is the. Black Sea, and Russian commerce should he carried am by Turkish vessels. - The:peace of .Kutsch uk-Kaimardsch (17:74) attr: l ,- sL I the scene, and the T ur ki s h empire began to deelirp'' rh - e Russians' profited by the sovereignty of the :!ritnett to divide the domination of the sea coast. 3 7.1.C,sian coin 'tierce was granted not only the navigation s Sea, but :ilk, the free and unlimited. iuf the Black I)assage of the straits of the Black and White Se3.4' ; and the Porte - having raised some difficulties, the •`Permission was fur ther confirmed in 1779 and In 1783, Count Panin ' declared at Constantinople- Otrwagh the Prussian Ambas sador, that there was •v. 9P.estion about vessels of war, but merely of merehanty-esels. At the comtnencement of the 19th centuass,Eu sian fleet rope became accustomed to see a Rus -- Illf' r i-of-war in the Black Sea, which more tll3 X 4°l -e d - Pr eated the Turkish fleet. Notwithstanding L„ tzu s, was the Ottoman Porte which granted to diw ..erent nations, one after the other, the pri vilege of navigation in the Black Sea for mer chant vessels, viz. :—to Austria, on the 24th Feb ruary, 1784 ; to England, 30th October, 1799 ; and to France, 25th June, 1802. From 1797, ICicolazen and Sebastopol became important maritime ports. Since the peace of Bucharest in 1812, all the coast• from the -‘ northern mouth of the Danube unto that ofk - euban was submitted. to Russian • domination ; but it ••tvas only 1829 that Russia derived any benefit of this right of so vereignty. • '" Article 7 of the treaty of Adrianople runs thus The passage of the canal of Constantinople and of. the Dardanelles is declared free to all the merchant • • vessels cif the powers at peace with the Porte, • whether . they are proceeding to the Russian ports in the Black Sea, or are returning from them loaded or unloaded, keg the same conditions as vessels under the Russian flags and the Porte solemnly pledges herself never to raise any obstacle to this right.' " She promises never to stop the vessels. - eithss , r , or not laden, whether belonging to Russia or 'any other country (pot at war with the Sultan), pass ing through the canal of Constantinople baud the : Dardanelles, from the Black Sea to the Mediterra =-• nean, or from the Mediterranean to the 11.ii,f4m, ports of the Black Sea. In case of any contravention not followed by immediate satisfaction at the demand. of the Russian Ambassador, the Port recognizes the right of Russia to consider such an act an act hostility, and to make reprisals. There shall be no question of complete domination of the straits, th. Porte having renounced her right of securic..7 vessels passing through it. The treaty of the Danulw of 13th July, 1841, concluded between Russi:, and Austria, attaches also to the domination of the Black Sea, as a consequence of the treaty of Adrianople. Russio grants to that treaty the free navigation of the Black Set to the merchant vessels of Austria and other nations. Thus the English flag would be excluded from the Danube, in case she should be at war with either Turkey or Russia. I n the face of such facts it is astonishing to see there should be again a question of the ancient regulation concern ing the shutting of the straits. It is true that the Sultan pledged himself by the treaty of the 13th c: . July, 1841, to maintain the ancient rule of excluding all vessels of war. The Sultan had insisted on th, observation of this ancient rule, to give the Europett7l Powers an opportnnity of specially expressing.. their recoomition of his right ot Sovereignty. Thu Treaty ot July 13 is nothing in reality but Li Convention which guarantees the neutrality of the. Ottoman Porte, and the Powers are interested in, the observance of this neutrality. If, in time of peace, a privi lege should be of a nature to incite jealousy in a power, li b would be much more so in case of that neutrality being broken. It was wished to prevent the Ottoman Porte ' favouring one nation at the expense of the other. But what would happen in case of a war between England and Russia ? If the Porte remains neutral Russia has a strong squadron in the Black Sea. Could England send her merchant vessels into the Black Sea, without their being armed or having a con voy ? This appears doubtfull Russia, therefore, has the power of interdicting the commercial navigation of any Power in the Black Sea, and that without attacking the right of sovereignty of the Ottoman Porte, or in fringing on her neutrality." We hear that the 24th of September is the clay on which Sir Robert Peel proposes to meet the Parlia ment as Minister. It is understood that the continuance- of the existing Poor-law for one year will be proposed ; and that a vote of credit for six months will be taken. The Parliament will then be prorogued, without taking any of the numerous election petitions into consideration, or attending to any other business. It is also reported that Parliament will not re-assemble till February. All this is easy of arrangement ; but, or I,v( greatly mistake, the country will be much dissatisfiea with such heartless apathy. The distress Of the manu facturing districts is likely to increase, and find work for the government of a kind which Parliament rosy h . . called upon to aid in completing.
