Illustrated with Cases, &c. By J. L. CURTIS and COMPANY, Consulting Surgeons, London. eublished by the Authors, and sold by Bailiere, Medical Bookseller to the Royal College of Surgeons, 219, Regent street ; Strange, 21, Paternoster-row, London ; Guest, Bir-. mingham ; Sowler, 4, St. Ann's-square, Manchester ' • Philip, South Castle-street, Liverpool ; Machen and Co., t 3, D'Olier street, Dublin; Duncan,ll4, High-street, Edinburgh ; and to be had of all Booksellers. 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 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 praetices, can only be acquired by an ex clusive and undivided attention to this department of medical practice. The numberless instances daily occurring, whersie affections of the lun g s. 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 ne 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 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, whe 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 work, be directeA 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 clis astrous consequences which are sure to follow from them if not relinquished. Messrs. CURTIS and CO. are to be consulted daily at their residence, No. 7, Frith-street, Soho-square, London. Patients are requested to be as ntinnte as possible in the detail un of their cases—as to the duration of the complaint, the symptoms, age, general habits of living, anti occupation in life of the party ; the communication must be accompanied by the usual Consultation Fee of 11., without which no notice whatever can be takes of their application ; and in all cases, the most inviolable secrecy may be relied on.

The Provisional Municipality of Toulouse protested, on the 30th ult., against the dissolution of the Municipal Council of that city. That document, signed by M. Arzac, the Mayor, and Messrs. Gase and Roaldes, the adjoints, appeared in the Emancipation of the next day. Those three functionaries rested their opposition on a manifest violation of the 27th article of the Municipal Law, which provides that the Ordinance of dissolution should always specify the period at which the re-election of the municipal officers should take place, a formality which had been omitted in the Royal Ordinance pub lished on the 30th at Toulouse. Immediately after sign ing this protest, the Mayor and his two Deputies de clared themselves in permanence at the Capitol. They dressed themselves in their official costumes, and deter mined to await the result, and not resign their functions until compelled thereto by force. Several members of the Municipal Council came to congratulate them on their noble attitude, and urged them to persist in their resistance. At eight o'clock in the evening of the 30th the new municipality presented itself to take possession of the Capitol. M. Arzac, having by his side the two adjoints, received them standing. M. Gase then addressed them in the name of the Mayor, and pointed out to General Lejeune, the new Mayor, the illegality of the Royal Ordi nance, together with the protest of the municipality. The envoys of the Prefect, who did not expect to meet so energetic a resistance, muttered a few words of excuse and retired, and, on their way back to the Prefecture, were hooted by the people. An hour afterwards they returned to the Capitol, but found the municipality as determined as ever to yield only to force. It had even made preparations to spend the night in the Capitol, when M. Delaralde, the principal commissioner, accompanied by M. Segond and the other commissaries of police, came to summons M. Arzac, M. Gase, and M. Roalde, to vacate their municipal functions. M. Gase then called on M. Delaralde to draw up a protest of the whole transac tion ; and the latter having acquiesced in his demand, the Mayor and his two adjoints left the Capitol. The Municipality of Toulouse was justified in its oppo sition, and the Government itself has admitted it, by the insertion in the Royal Ordinances, published by the Mo niteur, of the paragraph relative to the convocation of the assembly of the municipal electors. The Messager says, " According to accounts just re ceived from Toulouse, every thing there is perfectly tranquil. • The now mayory formed by M. Maurice Du val is composed of Baron Lejeune, as provisional mayor, and Messrs. Leon Ducos, Florentin Asre, and Jean Do minique Larigandere, as his deputies. M. Maurice Du val has published the following proclamation : Inhabitants of Toulouse,—Two Royal Ordi nances pronounce the dissolution of the Municipal Council and National Guard of Toulouse. France has her eyes upon you. You will prove to her, by your respect for the use which the Govern ment makes of its constitutional rights, that you un derstand what liberty is. By your choice, and by the mandate which you will give to those whom you shall elect, when the legal period for the reconstitution of these two bodies shall arrive, you will not place the Royal prerogative in the impossibility of choosing your Magistrates amongst citizens who would not see that election alone imposes the duty of accepting functions to which they are called by their position, as well as by the law. Do not give way to the falsehood which seeks to disfigure the most pure actions and intentions. Show to the country that Toulouse, the city of learning and trade, faithful to the principles which triumphed in July, will strengthen the powers of the laws by patriotic obedience."' The arrest of M. Lenormand, the ex-Commissary of Police of Toulouse, was immediately made known by telegraph to the authorities of that place. On the approach of General St. Michel to Villeneuve d'Agen, says a letter from that place of the 2Gth ult., the inhabitants went nut in crowds to meet him, and sa luted him with cheers. The Mayor of Le Mans had charged M. Girard, a member of the municipality of that place, to accompany the Inspector of Taxes charged by the Prefect to con duct the census, and to make observations upon the pro ceedings adopted by him. The inspector and the dele gate of the municipality not having agreed upon certain points, the Mayor had written to the Prefect to say that he has withdrawn from the delegate the authorization which had been granted, so that the inspector will pro ceed with the census alone. Mr. Parsloe, the old and well-known prompter of Covent-garden and Drury-lane theatres, took his an nual benefit last night at the Haymarket Theatre. In addition to Mr. Alacready and Miss llelen Faucit, in the play of Money, Mdlle. Celeste appeared in her original part in The Child of the Wreck ; the little :Marshal's danced in their own unsurpassed style, and Mr. Rayner came up expressly from Southampton to give co m i ca li ty to the attracti ons o f the evening. WHAT IS A BULBUL.—A lady of consider-. able pretensions to knowledge lately asked a well-known wit what sort of a bird the bulbul was ? The wag, with the greatest possible gravity, replied that he did not know, unless it was the male of the cow-cow (cuckoo), SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. FROM THE DAILY PAPERS OF YESTERDAY: CHRONICLE. —The Morning Post is, it appears, to be the organ of the Ministry expectant. Its functions commenced yesterday, by the announcement that Sir Robert Peel will not oppose the re-election of Mr. Shaw Lefevre to the Speakership. The Times is passed Over, we presume, on account of its " tainted " character ; the great disqualification in the " new moral world " of Toryism. A Whig Speaker is, then, the first item of the mysterious Tamworth prescription. The party takes it with a wry face. It is- a bolus for the friends of Mr. Goulburn, and a bitter pill for those of Sir Eardley Wil mot. There are many fdr whom this foretaste of the future will be rather melancholy. They had not dreamed that to step into office could require such a sacrifice' to decency on the threshold. The most convincing demon strations have just been offered to the public that the Speakership could not remain in the same hands with out a gross violation of political principle. But the reign of expediency is at hand, and this is only the first of many conscientious principles and valorous determi-, nations which the Tories will have to swallow. " There's pippins and chees e t o come. " Th e Sp ea kership is one of. many apple s o f di scor d . Per h aps b y allowing a Whig to have it, Sir Robert may think to avoid an unseemly squabble amongst his own partisans. It is not for us to object tolis purpose. We have always thought Mr. Shaw Lefevre a well-qualified person ; and his conduct, while in the chair, has been distinguished for ability and impartiality. If there have been any occasion on which we did not regard him with entire satisfaction, it was that of his vote against the proposed address to her Ma jesty for the liberation of persons confined for political offences. We thought that he need not have stood in the way of mercy. The address would have been a gra cious and graceful procedure on the part of the House, and was by no means the sort of motion which we should have expected the casting ve4tof a Speaker to nega tive. At the same ti.ntr-eelilwtist admit, that there was some vindication in the circumstances of the case. The existence of Tory promises made to the Char tists, for electioneering purposes, was notorious. The liberation of their martyrs was part of the -bribe for which an unprincipled portion of that body had sold itself to the enemies, not only of their inordinate preten sions, but of their just rights. The fact oozed out from the Chartist Convention just at the period when the Times was proclaiming that "Radicalism has its root in real evils and r ea l gr i evan Ces, and that, to be Conserva tive, it was not necessary to " sacrifice the common good to class interests." Much may be said for the Speaker's not allowing a vote of the House of Commons to be made the instrument of fulfilling this disgraceful com pact. We rest no argument on Sir Robert Peel's having praised the Sneaker for his interposition. Sir Robert availed himself of what_wer additional party votes might hate been thus obtained ; 'and if' the promise had only turned a single election (the leasteffect that can probably be assigned to it), that single election gave him all his majority on the no-confidence motion ; but we do not imagine he ever meant the pledge to be redeemed. Let his laudation go, therefore, with a.quantum valeat. The casting vote remains an exception, but a question able exception, to our general estimate of Mr. Shaw' Lefevre's Speakership ; which, else, we praise unre servedly. We repeat, therefore, the notification .of Sir Robert Peel's first avowed intention with much pleasure. It is, nevertheless, a departure from his principle of not prescribing until he " takes the fee ;" a principle now irrevocably fixed upon him by the unfortunate and blus tering interposition of his own confidential organ. Sir Robert Peel has not yet been ",allowed access to the patient," in the private rooms of the Downing-street Sanatorium ; he is not yet " regularly called in ;" he has not felt the pulse or purse of the nation ; and yet he begins to prescribe, and " administers the physic" of a Whig Speaker. Have we convinced him that his silent system was that of a quack, and not of R. regular politi cal practitioner ? Or cannot his con;isteacy, under cir cumstances that begin to be trying, hold out for any ten days' in succession ? Must every week illustrate the fluctuation of his sliding scale of political morality. TIMES.—We shall surprise none of our readers who have had their attention called to the letter of "Pittacus" in our paper of Monday, and perhaps all who have not, by the announcement which we have to make respecting the Speakership. Contrary to the wishes of Sir Robert Peel himself, as many of his friends assert, has a species of tribunical victory been achieved over the constitu tional forces of the new Parliament. By what strange infatuation this unfortunate subversion of right principle has been consummated, it is useless at this moment to inquire ; but so it is, and the result is a chilling damp on the very first rejoicings of a well-earned triumph. The Right Hon. Charles Shaw Lefevre is virtually re elected to the high office, of which the incapacity of his party had virtually deprived him. The history of this arrangement we believe to be as follows :—lt appears that, previously to taking any definite mea sures with respect to the election of a Speaker, Sir Robert Peel, with a_ deference, more amiable than dignified in his position, to the opinions of others, deemed it advise s-- tw, ascertain the inten tions of a - consid e r a bl e :71tnber, amounting to be tween 20 and 30, of his own party. These, with three qr four exceptions, returned answers favourable to the re election of Mr. Lefevre, and thus rendered the success ful termination of a contest doubtful, if not hopeless. In consequence of this, Sir Robert Peel came to the de termination to relieve Mr. tefevre of all anxiety on the subject, by disabusing him of any apprehensions which he might naturally entertain of his re-election. Enviable man ! to whose matchless abilities foes have vied with— nay, have outrun—friends in doily , . homage. Generous and manly politicians, who, like well-matched champions in the ring, shak e hands before they commence the ardu ous contest ! Thrice enviable office, the solace of a defeated ' Ministry, which, in two brief years, has sufficed to relieve its tenant from the onus of political responsibility ! The arrangement, then, as far as Sir R. Peel is concerned, is virtually settled. But what are we to say of its con sequences ? The principle which Mr. Lefevre's Con servative supporters profess to reverence is, that the Speaker should be chosen solely on account of his abili ties as such, and quite independently of his political sentiments. What, then, will -their colleagues, the great majority of the Conservatives, say to this implied inca pacity on their part to fill this honourable office? What will they say of this petty altercation with him whom they regard as their leader ? What will the country say to Mr. Lefevre, aWhig, filling the chair in a House of Com mons of which the majority is Conservative, after his vote in 1835 disqualifying Mr. Manners Sutton for the same office, because he was a Conservative, and the ma jority of the House of Commons was at that time of the Whig party ? ADVERTISER.—The Government is virtually de funct, although the Ministers still occupy the offices of Downing-street, - and draw their salaries from the Trea sury. The people, however, must not indulge in 'repose, or fall into a state of inactivity. Extraordinary excite ment is naturally succeeded by a corresponding listless ness, and against this the public mind should just now be particularly cautioned. Such promises as we have of the intended policy of the Conservative Government that is to be, give little reason to regret the breaking up of the Whig Cabinet. If we have-no promise of a better state of things, so far as mere profession is concerned, we have none of a wove. The Whig Government has long been, de facto, a conservative Government, their real principles of national policy, whether foreign or domestic, differing in no material respect from the views which the Times alleges to be entertained by the party about to supersede them in office. Hence the weak ness and discomfiture of the Whigs, and the certain ad vent of a Tory Administration. There is nothing very cheering for the public mind in this circumstance, how ever. It is not retrogression that is to be feared, so much as a stationary or non-advancing policy. Upon many points of legislative and administrative policy, the Whigs have departed, and no doubt with benefit to the State, from the routine of their predecessors ; but for many a long day with no one question of importance, affecting in its practical results the condition of society, have they shown any ability or disposition to- grapple. Nor will their successors evince any greater aptitude to advance the general weal,-so long as -it shall be found possible to push on in the old course. The impetut for an improved and advancing policy must come from without; and upon the people themselves depends the . prosperity or the distress of the country. "This," says the Times , " will be the Conservative principle in the variable matter of politics —constant improvement, development of useful tendencies, this rule By ; in retrenchment of inconsistencies, or impediments to good, accommodation to the progress of society, submission to the tecre,(‘lsiolln actub letnexpgeocetsatttotonass of tradef. the e people.and commerce financial reforms and leo b il reforms ; in police and sana tory regulations ; in the secondary parts of questions, such as the Poor-law and the laws relating to the Parlia mentary franchise, and, indeed, in the practical details of every question." We repeat it then, that it depends upon the people in how far the Conservative Government shall be a reforming Government. The Conservatives them selves place the question upon this issue—they refer it to the public to determine how far and how fast the Go vernment shall proceed " in the direction of the greatest practicable utility," making it the first duty of a states man to " pay homage to public opinion," in things re ferable to the category of "expediency," embracing in that category the whole class of subjects relating to trade and commerce, finance and law, police and pauperism, the Parliamentary franchise—in a word, the practical details of every question relating to " variable politics." The present hour, then, is pregnant with great events, for good or for evil : the fortunes of the country are in the hands of the people- HERALD.---In the midst of profound peace the Morning Chronicle clamours for the commercial advan tages to England of a Continental wac. While we keep moving all the world must stand still, and Ger many especially must not move a muscle. No nation must dare to weave a pair of stockings for itself, or place on the backs of its people a shirt or coat of home manu facture. If they do, everything at home is wrong, every principle of our commercial system must be abandoned as effete and worn out. We must rush headlong into the trackless ocean of speculative legislation ; we must throw away what we now have, and shut our eyes, open our ports, and see what the gods will send us. The strong practical sense of the people of England has re jected, and will continue to reject, such advice, founded as it is upon ignorance and presumption. The feeling of " live and let live" is not yet excluded from the national mind, and Englishmen, notwithstanding all the special pleading and mis-statements of the well-p a id D r. Bow ring and the would-be-well - paid Mr. Villiers, h i m no manufactures. At one time that commercial league - is stated to be about to enter into a cominereisit treaty with the United States, based on the preferential admission of German cottons into the Republic—in utter forgetfulness that any such engagement would be a gross violation of the commercial stipulation of the United States with this country, and still more forgetful that the United States would require, as a compensation, the free admission into Germany of her tobacco, now subject to an enormous import duty, and that such admission would at once de stroy one of the most profitable sources of German agri, cultural wealth—the culture of the tobacco plant. Ger many would as soon dissolve the league as injure her agriculture by such a measure ; and no one knows this fact better than Mr. Dodge, the United States commer cial agent in Germany. At another moment the alarmist journal protests that there is nothing but ruin for England, because the Zoll Verein and Brazil are negotiating commer cial relations. Now this assertion is purely imagination; there are no negotiations in progress for any such pur pose. But if they were concluded, they would not damage England. Germany already takes all the coffee and sugar that Brazil with her present population can grow ; and to suppose that Brazil would commit so sui cidal an act as to engage to consume German dear cot tons in preference to British cheap cottons, when by so doing she could derive no advaid age, is to suppose that common sense and national int,' !t are wholly driven from the mind s o f Brazilian spr4Usmen. Mn were the Brazilian GoveNtnent to enttfMto so foolish a stipula tion, the Brazilian people and. consumers would quickly abrogate it in practice. The consumers of every nation will, in spite of all treaties and laws, buy of the cheapest ; and if they cannot do it legally, they will illegally. The Morning Chronicle frequently quotes from the writings of the political economists. We think it might, without much difficulty, find an authority in them for this proposition ; but, perhaps, as the Devil does from the Scriptures, it only quotes their " wise saws and modern instances," when it suits its own purposes. POST.—The advocates of what we consider excessive manufacturing and trading, complain of us that we oc casionally comment upon their hard-heartedness. But how can we do otherwise while they display such insensi bility to that which chiefly concerns the happiness of the mass of the people ? If they will cease to advocate a cruel and hard-hearted policy, we shall be most happy to hail the auspicious change, and to give them every credit for having learned better the duties which thy owe to their fellow-creatures, and the feelings with whiCh they ought to regard them. So long, however, as we find the party which calls itself 66 Liberal," doing its best to upset the agricultural industry of this coun try, and to hand that great source of employment and wages over to foreigners, while it is expected that by this policy a great increase of manufacturing business may be obtained, we cannot help accusing the party of selfish insensibly to the welfare of the people. We must speak the truth, and to us it seems that if there be any truth more palpable than another respecting the condition of the mass of the people of England, it is that the agricultural labourers are a far healthier, hap pier, and in every way more estimable race - of people than they who are doomed to the labour which goes on in manufacturing towns. If, therefore, it were true, which we think it is not, that the wealth of this country would be more promoted by abandoning agriculture in a very considerable degree—by trusting to foreign coun tries for a great portion of our supply of corn, and by manufacturing more largely in order to pay for this foreign supply, still we should continue to hold the opinion that for the sake of the working people, the nation ought to resist this *node of becoming inure wealthy. We quite agree with the sentiment expressed some days ago by 1117. Benett, M.P., for Wiltshire, at the Salisbury Agricultural Meeting, he asked, • kJ • " What is wealth without comfort and happiness ?" What does it signify to a virtuous statesman, that a cer tain system of commercial policy would possibly add to the capital of the country, if by that very system a change in the employment of the mass of the people would take place, which change would be very prejudi cial to their comfort and happiness ? In . putting the case thus, we are very far from admitting that the pro posed " Liberal" system of policy would add to the capi tal of the country. We are well satisfied that it would have precisely the opposite effect. STANDARD.—TEIESPEAKERSIIIP.—It is not our in tention to enter into a controversy without our friend of the Morning Herald, whether he or the Standard is best able to give early and exclusive information—the public can and will form their own judgment upon that point—but we wish to set ourselves right with our Contemporary as to a matte.r, of act,„, In tbeittraitt of this -ramming we find the following `:= "In the list,' which we gave on the 21st of July we subjoined these passages in reference to the name of Mr. Shaw Lefevre " The Speaker of the House of Commons—the Right Hon. C. Shaw Lefevre (whose re-election it is said not to be intended to oppose).' " And again ; on the 22d of July— "' We are by no means of the same political opinions as Mr. Shaw Lefevre. But we abhor any propositions of party' in relation to any gentleman, Whig or Causer vative, who has filled the Speaker's chair with dignity, with honour, and with impartiality' 'lt is certain that Mr. Lefevre has earned_ the respect of all parties in that position. It is equally true, that although the above notice (dated Pall-mall, July 21) made its ap pearance subsequently to our leading article of yester day, we remain under the same impression, on the subject which we then and therein announced.' " Never, to be sure, was a little expedition of discovery the subject of more animadversion than ours. We were attacked,. immediately, right and left, by all our craft and calling. The. Times, the Chronicle, the Morning Post, the Globe, the Courier—all were angry—all reproved us, — some disputed one or two of the nominations in our list, —and even our fellow-labourer in the good cause, the Standard, at first rebuked our inopportune promulgation of such intelligence. The Sunday journalists took up the theme, the country papers after them: but with the Cou rier and the Post, the 4 head and front of our offending' appeared to be the having appropriated the Speakership to Mr. Lefevre." Now, it is undoubtedly true that the Courier and the Morning Post gave the Speakership to Sir Eardley ; but the Standard did not deny the accuracy of the Herald's statement in that respect. On the 20th bf July the evening preceding the publication of the Herald's "list," the following paragraph appeared in the Standard:— " (FROM A CORRESPONDENT.) " We have reason to believe that the announcement in a Contemporary of a determination on the part of the Conservatives to oppose the re-election of the late Speaker, Mr. Shaw Lefevre, is premature ; as we ap prehend that no definitive resolution has yet been taken 'on that important subject." And again, on the following day, the 21st, we said— " We give the following, as we have received it, from a respected Correspondent, but-we believe that we are cor rect in saying, that nothing has been decided with respect to the Speakership. It is true that what we have said else where of the indelicacy and indiscreetness of bestowing offices in a Government yet to be formed, does not apply to the election of the Speaker, which is a matter com pletely within the power of the Conservative party, who soever shall be the Minister ; but it is obvious that while so many Conservative Members are absent from town, nothing can be definitively. arranged. " Tun SPEAKER.— Sir Eardley Wilmot, Bart., the Conservative Member for North Warwickshire, it is now confidently stated, will be the Speaker of the new Par liament. The re-election of Mr. Shaw Lefevre was never for an instant thought of by the Conservatives, who are quite aware that any such step would be taken as a proof of weakness and disunion in their party. So soon as Mr. Goulburn had decided to accept the Home Department, it was arranged that Sir E. Wilmot should ba elected to the Speakership. The Conservative leader is just as likely to second the Address to be moved by Lord John Russell, as to consent to the re-election of Mr. Lefevre;' the Radical Member for South Hants. " Pall-mall, July 21, 1841: " It is clear, therefore, that so far from saying that the re-election of Mr. Shaw Lefevre was to be opposed, we hinted the very reverse ; but what' we did say we now repeat, that until Sir R. Peel shall be called upon by the Queen to form a Ministry, it is neither delicate nor dis creet to anticipate the names of those noblemen and gen tlemen who are likely to become members of his Cabinet. COURIER.—If 'ever a Ministry in its death-bed struggles had reason to pride itself on the difficulties, embarrassments, and financial deficits bequeathed to its successors, the Melbourne unquestionably has, for it has thrown all the'affairs of the State, financial. foreign, co lonial, and domestic, into such perplexed and inextricable confusion as to require the efforts of the ablest and most experienced statesman to readjust, arrange, or methodise, them. It is quite unnecessary for Whig writers to tax their imaginations in devising visionary difficulties for Sir Robert Peel's Government, as the out-goin g Cabinet has, with the admirable foresight and high-tened patriotism characteristic of its party, provided an accu mulation of them sufficient to satisfy the wildest desires ' of faction itself. Any one of them separately would test the capacity of the most skilful Mi n i s t er , b ut i n their combined complexity they seem almost to set at defiance wisdom itself. The State is labou r i ng at this moment under a complication of diso r d ers t h at may well challenge the utmost skill of the physician, and the quacks now in attendance , . finding themsel ves on the eve of dismissal for ineapaetty and negl ec t, are endea vouring,, with all theirmight and cunning, to aggravate the distemper, and consequently . enh ance the difficulty of the cure. There is, for instance, th e China war, hardly yet blunt with its attendi ng expenditure and risk—that wa r, upon the successful and happy termina tionc of which the Whig press had been so eloquently i a gant in January last. There is the M'Leod affair,e so' simple in it self, yet so delicate and so p er il ous ; affair which i f timely handled h a d been settled without an danger or difficulty, but which b e i ng 4w 0 _ _ sli iletntaded with :so many entanglements, demands for its ami cable adjnstm . ant (if such a oont i ngensy be Still pos sible) an effort of the highest statesmanship What i need to refer to the menacing a n d troubled aspect of affairs in India—to the uneasy restlessness of Egypt, or the suspicious watchfulness and half-hostile attitude of France ? Equally needless would it be to dwell upon the alarming deficit they leave behind them in the re venue, or the state of parylysation to which their rash ness, their folly, and their incompetency, have reduced the industrial and commercial energies of the nation And yet, if the Cabinet pro tem. be faithfully reprsented by its organs of the press, it is upon such exploits as these that th e y p r id e t h emse l ves, an d ground their hope; `of returning to office, sadder, but not wiser men. Than is, however, one point of their policy, one result of thei3. ' ten years' rule, which as being that for which they chum the highest degree of credit, challenges a more searching notice than we have thought it necessary to bestow oa their foreign or financial blundering. We need hardly say, that we allude to the state of Ireland. " Look to Ireland," 1N si the constant cry of these convicted cul prits. We - may have unnecessarily as wantonly involved the country in war with China, we may have as im prudently as needlessly insulted and alienated France, Russia may have duped us, America may hay bullied us, our financi a l p ro j ec t s may have proved, blunders ; all these things may be laid to our charge ; but look to Ireland, there behold the ripe and rich fruits of our policy, it is there our statesmanship had widest field and fullest scope for the development and exercise of its healing qualities and soothing virtues. We found it discontented, disturbed, convulsed, and leave it the scene of happy contentment and profound tranquillity. —without a cloud on its horizon or a ripple on its sur face. And all these grand and gratifying changes resulted from simply adopting a course of kind and conciliatory policy towards that country. We put it to the candour of our readers to say whether assertions of this nature have not constituted the constant and never-ceasing theme of Whig-boastings for the last six years—and whether, when upbraided with their failures abroad, -and the fanka and .follies of their conduct' . at home—when chargecrwith a .- SYstem of paltry intermeddling in affairs that concerned them not, and with grossly neglecting what equally concerned the. honour and the interests of the coun try—they did not invariably point to the effects of their policy in the sister country, as a counterbalance to all these accumulated imputations and disasters—as an ample and more than eqvivalent atonement for the series of crimes and calamities attending their rule in every quarter of the globe. And ye; on what grounds do these assertions rest ? On what evidence are they put forth or maintained ? We well recollect the state of Ireland on Earl Grey's acces sion to power, and have no hesitation in saving that it was at that time less distinguished for agitation, ex citement, disturbance, or crime of any kind, than it had been at any previous period of its history, or than it has been at any time during the Whig regime. The waters of bitterness and strife, so violently excited during the agitation, and up to the very p ass i ng o f t h e R e li e f Bill, were then beginning to subside. Sectarian animosity and religious rancour were then beginning to abate— the great bulk of the people were returning to the peaceful pursuits of industry, and even the staff of brawling and brainless agitators were beginning to forget their vocation and lay aside their mischievcas propen sities—the wealth and intelligence •of the recently emancipated Roman Catholic body exhibited in their conduct and language a grateful sense of the mea sure of justice and relief that had been conferred upon them—the higher orders of the Roman Catholic clergy , had met, and published to the werld their determi nation to abandon the field of politics altogether, as utterly at variance with their duties and functions—the repeal scheme was unthought of and unbroached—every thing wore the promise of peace, contentment, and re conciliation between those classes of the community whom the Relief Bill had placed on a perfect equality. Such is a brief, but correct sketch of Ireland's condition on Earl Grey's assumption of power. And now, after ten years' rule—after denouncing as an enemy to his country, the originator of the repeal movement, and then fraternising with him—after leading with him for the destruction of the Irish Church, and shower upon his hungry and worthless dependents the richest gifts in their patronage—how or in what condition have they left it ? Have they not succededed in rekindling the sense of strife and bitterness assuaged by the wis dom and justice of their predecessors ? Have they not by their ill-timed concessions flattered the vanity, minis tered to the pride, and added to the 'power of their for mer denouncer and present dangerous ally ?

CHRONICLE.—The heavy rains of last night gave a fresh impulse to the dealers in Mark-lane to-day, where a further advance took place in bonded and English wheats of 2s. to 3s. per quarter. By the Manchester Guardian, which we received this afternoon, we perceive the failure of Messrs. Stocks and Son, being the one we alluded to yesterday, had caused a serious damp upon the market yesterday in that town ; and its effect appears to have been increased by the un, promising appearance of the weather. - Under these cir cumstances, it was not surprising that the market was, as it is represented to have been, on of the worst, if not the very worst, of the present year. For manufactured goods there was literally no demand, and the few sales made are stated to have been at a serious reduction in prices. For yarn, however, the market was not quite so favourable, and some business was done, though with difficulty, and at gradually declining rates. We are glad to state, however, that, with the exception of two small concerns at Blackburn, no additional failures had been announced. The business transacted in Shares was limited. Brightons were quoted a shade higher ; but in the other lines of Railway there was no alteration in price. Business in the Forei g n Market was rather brisker in the early part of the da y, both in Spanish and South American securities. By the accounts received from Mexico by the last packet, we are happy to find that the receipts at the Custom-house were improving. The amount of dividend warrants cancelled at the Custom-house being, at Vera Cruz 42,680 dollars, and at Tampico 11,000 dollars, besides the amount of 9,000 dollars which we have already stated to have been received. This statement leaves about 150,000 dollars of dividend warrants to be can celled, when the whole sixth portion of the customs will be applicable to the• payment of the dividends in this country, for which it will only require about 100,000 dollars to complete one half-year's dividend of 2- percent. New Grenada has already about 300,000 dollars in this country towards the payment of interest on her share (501. percent.) of the debt. The final settlement with the bondholders has been delayed by the efforts of some of the provinces to bring about a federal state of Go vernment, which the South American States are en titled to have, according to the model of the United States Government, originally promised to them ; and the last accounts state that the Congress sitting at Bo gota had summoned commissioners or deputies from each 'province to revise the constitution, so as to satisfy all parties, and an immediate adjustment of the question was confidently expected. In the mean- time the dissen tient. provinces have announced their intention of trans mitting their shares of th e i n t erest on t h e foreign debt to London ; and Panama has, we understand, already e last packet on a remittance of ab ou t 3,000 d o ll ars b y th - on this account. POST.—The heavy rains that have fallen in the neigh bourhood of th e metropo li s d ur i ng the last two nights have of course served to stimulate speculation in the corn trade. At the market of this day wheat was held at materially higher prices than those quoted on Mon day, and these,.should the country continue to suffer from un seasona bl e showers, may by and by in all proba bility be realised. For the present we do not under stand that muc h actual b usiness is ventured upon, under the persuasion that such will be the case. The weather was to-day mo re encourag i ng for the farmer, and, whiles the prices made for grain by the factors are no ' merely, we think it unnecessary to report the advance That talked of as merely among the parties thernsehr, a consiierable quantity of foreign wheat ' reagnit Yetclolt-ti-k-s7 ported there can be no question ; much is 41 be m i it forward ; but the prospects of the nati are not yet sufficiently developed to war ve nt, thus early a t s:to the result of in the season, any positive assumptioonr the ensuing harvest, either one way Connected with the speculative Opelorateioontteinr. for the account Mark lane, we hear of some occasional deal These, howevger, have not, at Mark in the public securities. all events, so far as we can ascertain, been carried to an extent worth speaking of ; and we are little disposed as in the case of the rumoureda: t r a a, i nsactions in grain to give currency to the doubtful quotat'l 8 of what upon the subject. The we are told without alteration, a eircumst an ,I°l/3 generally remain that may be taken as a pretty sure indication of the w ariness of the public, and of the determination of ca pit a lists not to involve them selves in Stock Exchan ge responsibilities on the bare hint of those whose fort unes are staked upon no safer basis than the issue of the weather. ADVERTISER _ d y e we consider t o b e have been inform e d, on what go • authority- that four or five ves sels have r ecent l y been fitted otit'from Hamburgh, by a foreign merchant resident in tb t osten sible object o fw ith the 4 city, commerce, but which vessels are in reality intended for the slave speer to that purpose. Some r a rt d ? 4 ade te rs may reniem some, b of ei o ng pd in ever re ber the case of the Echo, to e whi ch u we directed atten tion,a few months book, and will perhaps think with us, that it is high time the more honourable portion of the Hambur g h mercantile community should seek to prevent such doings as may by implication hazard the fair fame of the old Hans() 'town. As so much has been said recently of affairs at Vienna, it may not be altogether inappropriate to guard against misapprehension, by certifying the firms which have actually sus p e nd e d, and thus relieving the credit of others, respecting which unfavourable surmises would be formed. As far ,as we can learn, therefore, the names are as follow t--The nephew of Steiner, with liabilities to the extent of 1,400,000 florins ; Steiner himself, said to be for four millions ; Gey Muller, not yet pre but supposed for eight mil cisely ascertained, lions ; Alexandre Voss for 60,000 ; L. C. Smekal for 60,000 ; Adolphe Leon for 80,000 ; Pierre Bel -1 loni for two millions ; Moses Abraham for 100,000 ; Osgi Askeroghi for 60,000 ; . J. W. Thomans ana Co., for one mill ralltenberg, the banker, f o r 200,000 ; Yyiigyulien and Roechel for 100,000 ; Samuel de Meijo ibr 20,000 ; and Polack, brothers, for 100,000 florins, Some of these failures, it will be observed, are fortunately not of great magnitude, but when summed up they give a total of upwards of 13 millions of florins. A farther advance In the price of bonded corn to-day of 3s. to ss. per quarter, added to the still unsettled state of the weather, had the effect of checking business in the funds, and kept prices a shade below the ranges of yes terday. This being the fourth of the month, too, occa sion was taken to whisper remarks prejudicial to credit in general, but which it would be difficult to ,Mace to any proper foundation ; for on the whole the paymenis on commercial bills falling due were quite as promptly met as could have been anticipated. There seems, in deed, to be marked pressure for accommodation at pre sent, owing to the entire absence of employment for it in numerous channels where it formerly brought a good return. TIM:MS.—A correspondent calls attention to a sub ject which had not escaped our notice, but which even now is so much enveloped in mystery that it is difficult to arrive at a perfect comprehension of it. This is the an nouncement of the formation of a new banking institu tion to be called the "Stock Exchange Bank," the functions of which are described by the declaration that it is " for deposits and taking in stock and shares." This is the whole description of the Bank and its tliture operations which has hitherto transpired, and certaink, as it is to be presumed that it is intended to be an insti tution of great public utility, it is to .be regretted that there are no further details of the objects which it is to accomplish, especially as this tar diness in giving information is not at all accom panied by a tardiness in commencing operations. It was only on Friday last that it was pOlirly announced that the share-list would close on the morrow, and that all applications for shares were to be made forthwith to that commercial locality " Dalston," while, as far as ire can ascertain, no preliminary prospectus had been pub lished, nor had any idea been given who were the par ties supporting the institution. The title of the bank, to be sure, would lead the casual observer to believe that the Stock Exchange, or at any rate some of the leading members, were in some measure connected with its formation ; but if it does emanate from a Stock Ex change, it is certainly not that one which the public ge nerally know as the " Stock-exchange," and to which the principal entrances are Capel-court, Hercules passage, and New-court. There are, indeed, men who think that the members of the " Stock exchange,"—commonly so called—have no right to arrogate that name to their own place of meeting only, but that it might properly be extended to the whole body of dealers in securities, whether they transact business in alleys, rotundas, or subscription rooms. The Bank in question, however, is not as yet known to be eonnected.with any " Stock Exchange" in the most liberal acception of the word, but that does not prove much, since knowledge of the transactions of any of the markets, excepting those of the recog nized Stock Exchange, is not easily obtained. The leading jobbers, far from being at all privy to the in stitution, profess not to understand from the title how its principles can be made applicable to Stock Exchange purposes. They cannot see the use of a bank " taking in stock and shares," when it is well known that no person having 1,0001. Consols, or any other valid security, finds any difficulty in borrowing upon it, nor ever has occasion to look for a lender. The letters of appropriation, which are in a new and succint form, are already issued, and showed that the prime movers of the affair were not too sanguine in expecting to fill their share-list so speedily, and great care has been taken to distribute them widely, so as to prevent overbearing influence in any one interest. It is under stood that these securities are dealt in already, but it is not impossible that before they are extensively operated in, persons may feel anxious to know the specific uses to which the capital, when subscribed, is to be applied.

Rowland and Son, 20, Hatton-garden, London :—" Leicester, April 6, 1839.—Gentlemen, About two years ago I lost all thy hair in consequence of a fever, so that I was obliged to wear a wig, and being of an advanced age and subject to head-aches, I felt great inconvenience from the misfortune. In this state of things many of my friends proposed to me divers remedies, none of which, however, had any effect, but at last I was induced to try your Maccassar Oil, which. in a short time quite restored my locks, so that I have now a remarkably good, head of hair for one of my declining years.
