The Work which is now presented to the public is the result of very extended experience in a class of diseases and affec tiohs, which for some unaccountable reason have been either altogether overlooked, or treated with apathy, and almost in difference, by the o dinary practitioner. To enter into the details of these affections, to point out their causes, and to mark the terrific consequences, social, moral, and physical, which are sure to follow from indulgence, in certain habits, would be entirely out of place in an advertisement. We have no hesitation, however, in saying that there is no member of society, by whom the book will not be found interesting, whe ther we consider such person to hold the relation of a PA RENT, a PRECEPTOR. or a CLERGYMAN.

THE PRESIDENT STEAM-SHIP. .- .s+ LIVERPOOL, MAY 31.—The following is a copy of a letter received at the Underwriters' Rooms this morning, addressed to the Secretary, from his correspondents at Lisbon Lisbon, May 24,1841. " Sir,—Af er writing to you, on the 17th instant, rela,ive to the Conde de Palma having seen a large steamer on the 23d ult., Capt. Sartorius, of H. M service, and Vice-Ailmi• ral in the•Par . .goese na.%), calk! upon nit, and statrd that he had only just then heard the report, awl that be Considered the steamer in question might be the President ; and, from the variable winds prevailing generaily at this time of the year, in the latitude where the steamer was seen, a disabled vessel might not be able to reach a port of safety without some ass.stance. He thought. therefore, that some measures should be adopted, and suggested the propriety of making further in qiury. " We waited immediately upon the master of the Conde de Palma, in company with Captain Sartorius, and the latter appeared more convinced of the probability that the steamer seen was the Pecrident. He then stated his opinio.l to her Majesty's Envoy at this Court, who ordered out the brig Es • p ir, Lieut. Pauls.m, which was the only British vessel of war in the Tagus; and Count Bornfirri, the Portuguese Minister of Marine, at the suggestion of Captain Sartorius, sent out two small vessels of war with provisions, &c. Although we have very faint hopes of these succours being available, it is well that the merchants and underwriters of Liverpool should be made acquainted with the liberal and benevolent conduct of the Por tuguese 'Minister of Marine, in promptly ordering out on such vague and uncertain intelligence as that brought by the Conde de Palma, two vessels of war to cruize in expectation of being of service to the President. " We are, ;sir, your most obedient servants, (Signed) " ARTIN and DOUGLAS, " Agents for the Liverpool Association of Underwriters." " Thomas Court, Fsq.". - . " Her Majesty's brig Espoir and the two Portuguese vessels of war had instructions to cruise in such different lati r tudes and longitudes as it was thought a vessel under the cir cumstances of the st-nmer seen by the Conde de Palma was likely to he in, provided she was disabled, and not lately to work to windward with her sails." [ADVERTISEMENT.] HOLLOWAY'S OINTMENT AND PILLS.- " The Duke de Montebello feels infinite pleasure at being able to in'o►m Mr. Holloway that his Ointment and Pills have performed an almost miraculous cure upon his leg which for three years was little less than one mass of ulcers which no thing could cure. if the publicity of this circumstance may be of any service to the public Mr. H. may consider himself at liberty to make it ',flown. He may also state that the cure was performed in less than three weeks. Rue la Fitte, Bth April, 1841."

THUNDER STORM IN IRELAND.—On Thurs day morning, about six o'clock, after a very sultry night, Lime rick was visited by a most awful and terrific thunder -storm, which endured for an hour. It commenced with a hollow rumLling noise, resembling the roar of distant artillery, and incre .sing at intervals so as to convey the idea of a heavy can nonade, and then became more quick and continuou , like the freq , •ent discharge of small arms, and the rattling feu de joie of mus.setry. while again a tremendous crash boomed along with a violence which no human power could be expected to Froduce. The sky was in the interim dark as twilight, and the air was charged with vivid flashes of forked lightning, which followed ePch other with much rapidity. The rain poured down in violent torrents for above an hour. It was truly a fearful scene. A young woman, named Ann Clanchy, residing at Clonmacken, while sitting by the fire with her inv band about seven o'clock A. wt., was struck by a flash which ran down the chimney, and laid her prostrate on the floor. Her husband sustained a slight shock, and was left insensible for some time, but on coming to himself, and attempting to raise his wife up, he found to his horror that she was dead. The Mayor held an inquest on the body, which exhibited livid streaks from the head to the waist, when, after a very minute inquiry, a verdict was returned—Died by the visitation of God. Limerick Chronicle. TOE YOUNG GIRAFFE.—This singular young animal, about the birth of which the greatest interest has been felt, already stands above six feet high, and is very beautifully and distinctly marked. The horns are about an inch in len g th and terminated by tufts of long black hair. This is the second giraffe ever born alive in Europe. On the first occasion the mother would not recognise her offspring, owing. as was sup an d tak tht e h s ee n pi o ea t r i ii c ao e ede o o f f its ge s o t fl a s t i i i offspring. t g o . be l fi le , posed, to too great attentions having been aid to it, and being hanoh.d too soon, so that the keeper had to act the part t of foster parent, in consequence of which it only survived a week.

'- : " :: - SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. FnoM DAM' PAPERS OF WTERnaT. CHRONICLE. —The meeting at Guildhall yesterday was every way worthy o f t h e first commercial city of the world. The immense hail was crowded, and several of the first names of thd City were present. Mr. Larpent alluded to a meeting convened in the same hall in 1825, as which thirty resolutions had been brought forward in favour of free trade, one of them by Mr. Alderman Thompson, seconded by Mr. Buckle, recom mending the admission of foreign grain for home consumptidn from all part, of th e wor ld at a fixed duty, limited to a fair equivalent for such taxes and burdens as are borne by the cul tivators of the soil, either exclusively } ie a greater proportion than other branche s o f industry, indeed the City of London :gos:iyfnooiruo; think that has on many occasions come forward in behalf of free trale. So fir hick as 1820 the merchants. bankers, and traders of the city of London, embodied their sentiments in favour of free and unrestricted trade in a petition, the first name to which was Samuel Thornton, one of the first merchants in the City, who had been Governor and was a Director of the Bank. Mr. Alexander Baring pres uted. the petition to the HouA. of Commons, and we well remember the ear nestness with which, on presenting it, he enforced its prin ciples. We have inserted this memorable petition at the close of our reports of Corn-law meetings. Another meeting. to protest against the mischievous nature of commercial restric tions, and more especially the corn monopoly, was held so late as 1839; and the first resolution at that meeting was moved by Mr. Horsley Palmer, who stated that it was of the utmost importance, with reference to the currency, to have a fixed 'duty. No advocate of the Corn-1 -vs had the courage to face th ee is t m he ee u ti n r a ig n , im at i l t d y t w he hi c e i h re n u o m:tance was so far a subject of re gret to Mr. Grote that he observe,—" Much as I : r hs e ta j i o dll ic els e o.mis t h o e you,n en % an y' i w o h l o B n 2s o 7 : if: ee cause u t s h e e that it hail been so far interrupted as that.. ame of those gentle d forward to-day and sustained their argatoets, ;ch has been read to toP prevailscha rge titin a %I' l l : the fallacy of their reasoning and the iefflauity of their argu ments could easily be sawn." —(Ch errs.) Mr. Grote, though he thought the best plan was to have no duty at all, yet admitted that interests had grown under the present system which it would be cruel at one blow to cut down. 'fl3l ES. The Coneervatiee, ; of London had, we doubt not, good reasons f or iOratfig Litt gentlemen who as semtled at the Guildhall yesterday for the purpose of delivering speeches against the Corn-laws, and who departed after the business was over with " three hearty cheers, and one cheer more for Lord John Russell," to conduit their proceedings as they pleased without interruption. The statements made by Alderman Thompson on Friday to the City Conservative Asso ciation had in some measure prepared us for this course, by allowing that the constitutional interest is strong enough in the City to justify them in giving a little law to their opponents. If those statements may be depended upon (which we see no reason to doubt), the approaching contest for the four metropo litan seats must inevitably result in the signal discomfiture of the Whig party—a discomfiture which probably will not stop short of the ejection of all the four sitting Members. Under such circumstances it might well be considered unnecessary to take any steps which, by producing a violent collision of parties in the Guildhall, might possibly have endangered the tranquillity of the metropolis, especially since commercial men among the Conservatives themselves are divided in opinion about the Corn-laws, the ostensible subject for consideration at the meeting. We havealso reason to be lieve that the City Conservatives are as anxious as their oppo nents to avoid putting an extinguisher upon the projected can didateship of Lord John Russel for the honours ohm' , to be vacated by Mr. Grote, p ar tly_ because thee desire to have a foeman worthy of their steel," and partly because they think the ditliculty of such an achievement as the defeat of the:Noble Lord would be by no means proportionate to its glory. 'I lie proceedings of the meeting, in which the Whigs were thus quietly permitted to have their own way, furnish but little that is worthy of notice. There was the old cransbe repetita of Anti-Corn-law arguments, good and bad, upon this occasion even more than usually diluted with the falsehood and nonsense which make the majority of sober•minded men feel that a came disgraced by such gross mountebankery and imposture cannot be altogether a good one. POST.—The debate upon the conduct of Ministers will be resumed this evening. We hope it will afford no more exam ples of English members endeavouring to excuse inconsistency by foolish refinements. These attempts are unmanly and un• English. If a man will frankly say that he dislikes and dreads the reckless policy of the present Ministers, but still hates the Tories so fervently that he will keep th e present Ministers in power, that the Tories may be kept out—if a man will say this, we may think little of him as a statesman and a patriot, but we can still respect him as an honest and plain-speaking man. This we cannot do with respect to those who are afraid to vote against the present Ministers, and equally afraid to state the plain reasons of their votes. Nothing can be more absurd and offensive than the attempts which have been made to bamboozle the public by persons who argue that though they disapprove the policy of Ministers, they are con sistent In voting to keep them in office. Such persons only show that they are conscious of their own duplicity of con duct, and so ashamed of it that they endeavour to hide it from public observation, and perhaps from their own. Much better would it be for such men at once to avow the real state of the case, namely, that bad as the policy of the Whig-Radical Go vernment is, they would rather have it because it is Whig- Radical, than have another Government whose policy they would prefer, if that other Government were to be composed of Tones. So bad is the position of Ministers, according to the view to be taken of them from the point selected in Sir Robert Peel's resolution, that their partisans are doing all they possibly can to shift that point. Tney are incessantly , labouring to misrepresent the question before the House. " You are called upon," say they," to accept a Cove nment which has not " stated its plans." This is not the question before the House. It is not a question whether the Government of Sir Robert Peel_is . ll,lp4y_ to be better than the Government of the Viscount Melbourne. It is not a ifizeitiOn of comparson between the merits of respective parties. It is a very much more impor tant question than this. It is a question whether a Govern ment has been unsuccessful in carrying its measures f r six years, and is at length beaten upon a leading question of finance, whether a Government so circumstanced does not act unconstitutionally in presuming to retain office. This is a question which goes far beyond the present erisi , , important as ti at may be. It is a constitutional point, and not merely the oretical, as some constitutional points may be teemed to be, but eminently practical. The fitness of the Conservative party to administer the Government has nothing at all to do with the question. HERALD. —There was a meeting yesterday of electors of the City of London, held in the Guildhall, " to take into con sideration the propriety of petitioning Parliament for an altera tion of the present Corn-laws." The Lord Mayor presided at it. Considering the protracted period during which that ab surd Association, whose members announce themselves as " agitators professed" against the existing Corn-laws—have had to lay their plans —prepare their movements-74nd concoct their speeches—we must declare that this was one of the most lamentable fiilures that even the bungling pertinacity of the " leaguers" has yet perpetrated. It has supplied much too slight a text for the remarks we have been, from tune to time, desirous of submitting to the reader on the general question of •Corn laws ; of their necessity, their modifications ;. of the point of demarcation which a salutary policy suggests between that un . restricted free trade in perhaps ihe most precious of commo. dities, which Mr. Dillon advocated at the meeting in ques tion, and that regulated machinery for its control whiCh the vicissitudes of seasons, not less than those of our political rela tions, really require to be established. But the meeting r,f. forded a most signal illustration of the one-sided views, the selfish prepossessions, the impracticable prejudice of the libe ral, disinterested, universal commerce, the free and unre stricted intercourse-school, which, arrogating to itself the "ex elusive " profession of the most enlightened views in every de. partment of our domestic. trade, is really " exclusive" only in its zeal to assert its own interests at the expense of all others, in the welf.re of which that of the community is Wis.- soluhly bound up. GLOBE.—The Times of this morning, in its doleful diatribe on the great City meeting hays that, ll.vehood and tbnsense " make the majority Of sober-minded men feel that a cause disgraced by such gross mountebankery and impo;ture cannot be altogether a good one."

Who is at all surprised that the ripie# ta to day devoted to the monopolists ; or who will be Surprised if it tie sorts thorn again to-morrow ?

C H RON from - China, announcing the occupation of the Bogue forts and factory at Canton by the Briti,h forces, has kept the Funds flat ; but, in the absence of details, the effect one way or the other has been but trifling. The tes market has, however, exhibited increased animation, and a rise of 20. per lb. for Company's Congou has been rwilised on the prices of yesterday. TIME preinium on gold at Paris i 3 10 per mille, which, at the English ,Hint price of 3/. 17s. 10id. per ounce for starriaril gold, gives an exchange of 25. 40, and the ex change at Paris on London at short being 25. 371, it follows that gold is 0.10 per cent. dearer in Paris than in London. By advises from Hamburgh the price of gold is 4-30 per mark, which, at the English Mint price of 3/. 17: 10141. per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 13. 7i, and the exchange at Hamburgh on London at short being 13. Bi, it follows that gold is 0.34 per cent. dearer in London than in Hamburgh. The announcement of the recommencement of hostilities in China was regarded by the dealers in the English funds rs unfavourable to the maintenance of present prices, and what with this and the payment of the cash in satisfaction of the stock sold on Chancery account, there was rather more than usual heaviness in the market. Great apathy is exhibited as respects business in the foreign securities, and the character of the bargains that take place is so unimportant that prices continue the same from day today. In the tea trade the news from China gave a fresh zest to speculation, and it produced quite a sensation at the public sales, which were proceeding in M►ncing-lane when it was first announced. At first there appeared a probability of the sales adjourning, but this idea was soon relinquished, and as soon as the news had been read they continued. Out of doors the speculators were very busy in concluding contracts, and up to, the , close of business on 'Change there still seemed the desire to operate. However, there was that slight reaction in prices which generally takes place when a considerable ad vance has been attained. At the sales, although a good deal was withdrawn for higher prices, the few congoua that were sold went at a rise of 2d. to 3d. per pound. 'l he most exre rienced parties still think, however, that'this disposition to spe culate is too hasty, aad that the supply will be sufficient to meet all ordinary demand. Notwithstanding the news from China slightly contributed to depress the English funds, and materially affected the tea trade, those persons in the City who have most carefully watched the progress of affairs in China, and who may be con sidered to entertain the soundest views on the subject, express no great dissatisfaction at the renewal of hostilities, thinking that the negotiations hitherto carried on were of such a bung ling and unsatisfactory nature, that any change was for the better, and indeed that those who were acquainted with the Chinese character could anticipate no other result than a re.. turn to arms. It is said that Sir H. Pottinger, who set sail this morning in the Great Liverpool steamer, together with Sir W. Parker, who gces to take his station as Admiral of the Indian Seas, is to act as sole Plenipotentiary in our affairs with China, and will altogether supersede Capt. Elliott. The settlement of the risks upon the President entered into at Lloyd's, was to have taken place to-day, but was postponed to the 11th inst., to allow further time for news respecting her. New York Papers to the Bth inst. inclusive were received in the City late in the day. It appeared by these that Mr. M'Leed had arrived in New York, and was brought into the Supreme Court on the 6th, and that the trial was set down for. the 15th. The " United States Banks" shares are quoted at about 17, and generally the price of the different State stocks seemed to be improving in the New York 'market. The jug gling measure, which goes by the name of the " Relief after being vetoed by Governor Porter, has been re-passed by two-thirds of the Members of each House in Pennsylvania, which, according to the constitution of the State, is sufficient to make it a law, in spite of the veto. It will be remembered that the constitution of the Federal Government makes the law respecting the passing of Bills precisely the same in the event of a veto by the President: POST.--The Committee of the Stock Exchange met to-, day to determine what should be done with the Portuguese half dividend bonds, issued under the conversion scheme of November 2. A resolution was passed to the effect, that it was inexpedient to recoi,mise and quote such bonds for the present. The words for " the present" show but too plainly what the Committee would do if they could—that they would be at their old tricks again, as in the case of the Spanish swin tile of 1834; but they cannot. The iniquity of the thing is too palpable, and their open sanction of it would most likely lead to the destruction of their monopoly. They entered fur ther upon the consideration of the propriety of altering the lists also, and the result of their profound deliberations is, that prices may be changed and others introduced before the publication of the lists, if they are duly vouched for in writ ing by both the buyer and the seller, the statements upon the subject beieg formally hid before the Committee on the suc ceeding board-day, we consider that the authorised lists of the house are completely vitiated by this foolish arrangement, and and that, under it, all sorts of abuses may be expected to en sue to the detriment of the public. Mention has been made of an assignment of a portion of the assets of the United States Bank as security for their post and other notes held by various banks. We have now some parti culars upon the subject, a copy of the assignment haring been put on . the file of the Recorder's office, with a list of the trustees named on the part of the banks at Philadelphia, namely, Messrs. James Ijundas, M. D. Lewis, S. W. Jones. Robert L. Pittfield, and Robert Howell. It may be interesting to the shareholders here to know what part of the assets of the United States Bank have been hypothecated. They are enumerated as follows : Bonds, mortgages, at Phi laslelphia 168,924 dollars ; real estate d►tto 1,242,651 dollars ; real estate, Mobile 1,258,067 dollars ; property and effects, Buffalo 464,912 dollars ; stocks and loafs, Phila delohia 1,703,233 dollars ; property in district of Colombia 447.707 doll trs ; property and effects in Cincinnati 1,099.279 d' liars ; bills and notes, office at New Brighton 372,721 ; bills, notes, and real estate,.office at Pittsburg 655,602; bills and note:, office at Erie 337,128. The total amount is 7,772,250 dollars. The aggregate of the post notes cuvered is 5,078,444 dollars. • The Canada accounts notice the opening of the river St. ' Laurence, which was at length clear of ice, and steam-boats had commenced running between Quebec and Montreal. The first arrival at Quebec for the season was the ship Vete, on the 29th ult., from Pool. On the following day (tulle in the barque Great Britain, from London. That vessel encountered some ice on the Banks, and large quantities in the Gulf of St. Laurence. HER ALD.—It is clear already that the anticipation of the French loan begins to tell on the Funds, and it may be confi. dently stated that vat ions capitalists, both in the Stock Ex change and out, are making preparations for so far getting out of home stock as to be able to enter for certain amounts into the new French loan operation when brought out, should the terms be, as anticipated, of an advantageous nature. Indeed it may be fairly assumed that in the present unpromising state of money and commercial affairs the French Minister of Finance is much too shrewd a man to apply for a loan, had any other option for the satisfaction of present pressing necess;tios been open to him, and therefore that, as necessity has no law, he will not, and cannot, scruple in such an emergency to consent to large sacrifices, and by way of attracting capital and invest ments to proffer some considerable and tempting bonus in some shape or other.

" The important part which Persia has recently been playing in the great game of Eastern politics, and whieo she con tinue to play for some time to come, must excite strong inte rest towards Mr. 7owler's work, describing, as it does, in their minutest details, the domestic manners, the mo'al and political condition, and the personal character of the actual living inha bitants of that singular country—from the Shah on his bril liant throne to the peasant in his mud-built hovel. Mr. Fow ler's lengthened residence and extensive journeyings in Persia have given him a degree of practical knowledge on these mat ters, scarcely possessed by any other of our countrymen. His wild adventures in Koordistan, his Tatar gallop across the de sert, his imprlsonment in the fortress of Malis Ghira, his re ception by the Shah, Abbas Meerza, and, above all, the curious disclosures he makes respecting Russian diplomacy in connec tion with Persia, will cause his book to be read with the greatest interest."—Sun.

The trains of the Great Western Railway brought host after host of visitors to Sl4ugh ; one train brought upwards of 1,0110. By 11 o'clock the amount of arrivals was at its height.. Her Majesty Orived at about half-past 10 o'clock, arid was recciYod by the Provost, the Fellows of Eton, the head Maser, and assistant masters, in the usual matinee. She was accompanied by his Royal Highness Prince Albert, Lord Melbourne, Earl Albemarle, Earl of Uxbridge, and her usual suite. At 11 o'clock the crowding to get into the quadrangle tije clell‘ge was tremendous. At this time her Majesty rod lA, nice Albert ehowed themselves at this great window of the c o ll ege lib rar y In the clock tower, from which - they commanded a full view of the procession. They were cheered in an enthusiastic manner, and they bowed repeatedly in acknowledgment of the otpres aion of loyal feeling exhibitpd. Thoprodession began to move from thp College QU its way to Salt-hill at about 29 minutes before 12 o'clock, accompanied by the band of the i k ti qra Guards and the band of the Rifles.

BOROUGH (F MARYLEBONE REFORM AND RE GISTRATION ASSOCIATION. On Monday a special General Meeting of the Borough of Marylebone Reform and Registration Association, which is composed .of between.seven and eight hundred electors, an.' includes a large portion of the wealth and respectability of the Liberal part of the - conyituency, took place at Lawson's As sembly-rooms, Gower-street, New-road, for the purpose of af fording Qmunodore Sir Charles Napier, K. C. 8., as a candi date fur the borough, an opportunity of being introduced to them, and of explaining his political sentiments. JOHN BAGSHAW, ESQ., late M.P. for Sudbury, and President of the Association, presided, and was supported on the right. by the Gallant Commodore Sir Charles Napier, and surrounded on the platform by the leading Reformers of the three parishes composing the borough of Marvlebone. The room was exceedingly full, and there could not have been less than six hundred of the electors present. The CHAIRMAN having explained the object of the meet ing, proceeded at some length to eulogise the manly and straightforward character of the Gallant Commodore,• which he conceived had been fully developed both as a statesman and a warrior, and concluded, amidst the most en thusiastic plaudits, by introducing him to the meeting. • Commodore Nerree then stood forward, and was received with waving of hats and renewed cheering for several minutes. He said that it was a pleasurable thing for him that his poli tical enemies furnished him at every meeting he attended in the borough of Marylebone a new text to preach from.— (Cheers and laughter.) At the last meeting in Christchurch it fell to his (the Gallant Commodore's) lot to demolish the untruths put forward by a Mr. Benjamin Wall, who, he under stood, was the factotum of Mr. G. A. Young—(Laughter)— with respect to his (Sir C. Napier's) opinions upon the Poor law Bill and flogging in the n , ..vy.—( Hear, hear.) His text that night bore upon an article which hail been inserted io the British Queen and Statesman Newspaper, very kindly appointing him (the Gallant Commodore) to a command at Lisbon, whereas he had only, on Friday last, resigned his command in the Mediterranean, in order that no obstacle might be thrown in the way of his aspiring to the honour of a portion of the command in Marylebone.—( Loud cheers.) The Gallant Commodore here read the article hr had alluded to, and observed that, die excellent Editor of that. Journal had been grosdy imposed upon. With so much art had the imposition been practised, that it had been sent to the paper as an official communication from Lord Alinto; and the parties had gone down to Wooiwich, in order that it might pass through the hands of the 'Woolwich core spondent of the journal in question.—( Cries of .‘ Shame.") He ( Sir C. Napier). however, was too old a sailor to allow his flag to be turned.—( Loud cheers and laughter.) It was with sincere pleasure he met so large and so influenti a l a b o d y o f t h e electors of that great borough as he saw beore him.--( Hear, hear.) And he had no doubt they would feel gratified also when he told them that at no previous meeting which he had attended in Marylebone could there be found more than seven persons who had held up their hands against him.-4 Cheers. ) ' If he was sent to Parliament by them he could assure them that he should pursue the same independent course in the House of Commons that he had done in the service of his coon try.-L(Great cheering.) :He would not ge in shackled to support any particular Administration—( Hear, hear )—but if he was elected, he would do his duty whether it might be at the pleasure or displeasure of the Government.—( Loud cheers) He believed his political sentiments were very well known, but in order that he might not be misunderstood, he would say that he was for vote by ballot under a proper protection, be cause he believed that no Englishman could come up to the poll and give his vote fearlessly and honestly without it.— (Cheers.) With regard to flogging in the navy, it did not de pend upon individual officers, but on the Government.— (Hear, hear.) If Government would pay men better, a bet ter class of men might be obtained, and then corporal punish ment would scarcely ever be heard of.—( Loud cheers.) He was for short Parliaments because he thought seven years eas too long a period to trust any man or any set of men.—(Cheers and laughter.) With regard to the Poor-laws he would be the determined oppoaent of any system which would (preclude to the aged poor the privilege of out-door relief..—(Cheers.) He had no notion of having the poor confined like piisoners in Union bastiles—(Cheers)—and he would have them .placed on precisely the same footing as the poor pensioners in Chelsea and Greenwich hospitals.—( Loud cheering.) For the able-bodied, work ought to be procured, but there were in every parish a set of idle people who would not work, and against these the law ought to be put in force ; they should be treated with justice, and even with kindness, but the law ought to be enforced against them.—( Certainly.) He had been asked, if a war should break out, and he (the gallant Co a modore) should be called upon again to take a command in the service of his country, would he resign his seat for Mary ',bone ? He had no hesitation in saying, that the moment such an event took place he would at once resign the trust re• posed in him into th e h an d s o f the electors of Marylebone.— (Great cheering.) He believed he hart touched upon most topics, but he would be happy to answer any questions that might be put to him.—( Loud and lung-continued cheering.) HENRY WAYMOUTFI, Esq., said he wished to put a ques tion to the gallant Commodore, which, as it was one upon which great feeling existed throughout the kingdom, was one of extreme importance. He wished to ascertain the opinions of the gallant candidate upon the compulsory payment of Church-rates? Commodore NAPIER thought it extremely hard upon the Dissenter, after having contributed to the support of an estab • lishment of which he was a member, that he should also be com pelled to pay a rate towards a church in the benefits of wia ch he had no participation.—( Cheers. ) Mr. HOUGHTON (Churchwarden of St. Pancras) said he thought the most. important point of all had been omitted. It was a question which came home to the hearth of every poor man. and which would decide him more than any other• as to whether or not he should give his support to the gallant can didate. He meant the great questions of cheap bread, cheap coffee, and cheap sugar.--( Loud cheers.) In fact, he wished to ask the Commodore whether he would not be disposed so go the length of free trade ?—( Renewed cheers.) Sir CHARLES NAPIER said he was prepared to go the whole length of the measures now before Parliament. —(Cheers He was not prepared to go farther at present, but as soon as the time arrived for farther advances he would be feond in the sup port of them.—( Loud cheering.) Mr. Hove iiroe said the question had been answered en tirely to his satisfaction, and ho trusted to the satisfaction of that great meeting.—(Cheers.) He therefore felt great pleas sure in proposing a resolution in support of the Gallant, (..ae rnodrire.— ( Renewed cheers.) He felt deeply upoq The question of the Corn-laws, and as a merchant he bad opportunity of visiting many foreign countries, as ko V(44 convinced that the only way to secure the prosperity of Great Britain was by her entering into a free and eikostricted intercourse with all other nations.—(Cheers,) The Hon.

He was delighted to Ali& that the present Ges vernment had at last hrs 4 ti e laddness to thro w soff the shackles of the aristocrae l and the 'obnoxious systseie or legislation for classes, AO, instead, had determir a oil 94A legislating fir the iveple.—( Loud cheers.) holy . a work they ought to be supported, and it aslt enlY 1.40 roturn to Parliament of such men its the pliant eandidate before them th at t h e pewle 43igland cou'ld allow their gratitude.—(l.l.4ll cheers.)

MEETING AT LEICESTER. (risoM A CARREhrONDENT. ) We have had a vast Mooing here to-day (Tuesday) in the Market-place, in support of the Government plan, as a step to the total abolition of all taxes on the necessaries of life. Extraordinary pains had been taken by the Chartists, (who, to their disgrace, and the injury of their professed principles, were closely combined with the Tories) to defeat the meeting ; and the Tory faction, who rarely show their faces on these oc casions, assembled in considerable numbers. The Cliariists, too, had imported Messrs. Collins and Taylor, and the Tories had persons in pay to disturb as much as possible the order of the proceedings. But all was in vain. The resolutions were carried by overwhelming maj though the Charti s t amendment was cunningly cont. iced, expressing only di strust and detestation of the 'Whigs, which many might vote for, who would not support the bread tax. The same amendment was moved to every resolution, but with the same result. The meeting lasted four hours and a half; the Mayor was in the chair, and Messrs. Easthope M. Ps. f or t h e borough, addressed the multitude. combined facti ons h ad hoped to produce an effect on the and The Ellis, election, and their rage knows no bounds. 36,0LD80N AND 1, OLD JEWRY, CDnuEke:PostinLEeed.—:atroniied by th B ------- the L lat A e n b d u e k h e c o s f : B ß uc o k y l a r l ighl in , i t ly he of Richmond, Duke of Newcastle, Queen of litunwev, the Duchess l ai e&i r ‘' B Y en ac ja e tr . ;xi n Si C r . j ßrodie Bart., h m e a r rqu Majesty iMarquis f w t , h:l .

It is art extract from a letter, received this morning, from the neighbourhood of Fersks„ in the county of Wexford:—. , I have the very sad news to convey to you that Mr. Robert Butler Bryan, the gentleman who purchased rue palace and domes= of the late Bishop of Ferns, has been mut. tiered this evening, at five o'clock, in . the woods which form part of the domain. He was riding at the time alone ; nothing more is at present known on the subject. He had lately dis possessed two tenants, and to this cause may his death be at tritigted,"-I:o4bliti Evening Mail I have dwelt long in agricultural districts, and I trust I can deeply appreciate the blunt sincerity, kindness, and candour of the farmers generally ; hence I am anxious not- only that the proposed modification of the Corn-laws should receive from them no opposition, but, on the contrary, that they should see in the imposition of a fixed duty instead of a fluctuating one a manifest advantage to themselves. I need not tell them that the Corn-laws were enacted not for their " protection," but for higher rents, in which those who enacted them largely participated. They- are quite awake to this truth. They know well enough that the rent: they pay are very different to the rents their fathers paid, and they know too how often their giumblings are met with..." See what high prie .s are got under the Corn-laws, surely you have no rii s lit to complain !" Is it so, my friends ? DO volt get the high prices which the fluctuating scale oecasionallx produces ? bo your landlords make a practice of permitting you to ‘vitilhold sour tents until those high prices are realized? lam afraid 3 oar:answ er will he " We are obliged to sell to meet our payments at par ticular periods, anti the high prices we almost invariably find are obtained when we have nothing to sell, but when the corn speculator, who can afford to be without his 'capital longer than we can, lets out his bonded corn at one shilling per quarter duty." If this be true, does it not occur to you that those whose plea for exa••ting high rents is the protection and high prices which the Corn-law gives to you are obtaining your money " under false pretences ?" Ask yourselves quietly the question-,How many brother farmers have I known who have had their stock sold up under distraints and executions for rent dui ing the "protecting** operation of the Corn-laws? Were there as many during the olden times, when no Corn-law existed at all? There is another class likewise to whom those laws are said to afford " protection," viz., the agricultural labourers. Have those Corn-laws given them protectide ? How many enclosure acts have been passed since those laws came into operation ? How many rights et common and of pasture, where a poor man might keep a cow or a pig, or a few geese, to eke out his earnings, have been destroyed, and made into good round farms, the Lord of the Manor getting the lion's share, and the parson of the parish the jackal's? Formerly our labourers and working men were distinguished for their loyalty, are they so now? Or have they been so since one by one under the "protection" of the Corn-laws they have been stripped of every chance to grow a cabbage or feed a pig. These are a few of the evils of the Corn-laws as they imme diately affect agriculturists themselves. Let us now look at a few 01 the probable, or rather possible, evils of a change. It is possible, I think probable, that corn will be lowered, while rents under leases will not. The landlord will have his " pound of flesh." He has often two bondsmen to assure it to him. How then? Are those three persons , the farmer and his two bondsmen, to be ruined ? Will England permit it? Will England, t hat generously and nobly voted twenty mil lions to emancipate the African, refuse a portion of the duty on the importation of foreign corn to compensate, and save from destitution, farmers under leases who cannot help themselves. Many Corn-law Hepealers say that prices will not generally fall, and farmers will not be injured; if so nothing_would be re quired, and all such reasoners will testify their consistency by readily consenting to grant as compensation what may a i .pear to be the loss occasioned by the change. On the contrary, to those who contemplate a large reduction in prices, why the largest they can contemplate, if made up during the coniin twice of existing leases, would net be one per cent. Upon the permanent advantages which the country would derive by be coining " the workshop of the world." To the firmer such a proposition woo d give hope and energy; he wcitild cheerfully join in repealing laws which be w e ll kn ows w ere never made for his benefit, if by so doing, he would not ruin himself. It is computed that the difference in prices paid by the con sumer be.ween home and foreign produee"(say . Hamb'arih) is about 24,009,000/. per annum, and of this that the landlords get about 6,000,000/., or one-fourth part additiodal rent—the other eighteen millions are th. own into the !Lea, or, what is much the same thing, expended in forcing - Lind, which Nature intended to grow thistles tor a.ses,to producii dear food for man. It the landlords have mo:•tgaged th it lands—it th. y have anticipated their incomes to iey,l in luxury—if they havo co'dly calculated on the credulity of the fanners and apathy of the count, y ',sting for ever, they deserve no ray. England is just, but r.nglatiti's justice to them would be on the other side of comperisa ion—it is for their dopes anJ victims 1 piead— may my plea not be made in vain !

So satisfied were some of our qui..inunes of the truth of the statement, that they would Hot listen patiently to any one who ventured to hold a different opinion. It turns out, however, that the rumour was either utterly groundless, or ridiculously premature. There is no vacancy in the dfpart. ment referred to, and it is not at all likely, even if the Whip were willing to make a new place for Mr. Bannerman, that the Tories, in the present state of parties, would allow them to do so, Should Mr. Bannerman have any intention of retiring from the representation of the City, he will, no doubt, give his friend, due notice. They will, at least, know the fact as:sooa as the Tories, which would not have been the zase, if this last rumour had turned out to be correct. The Tories, it is said, are making preparations for a contest. They may save themselves the trouble, and their candidate the expense. If Mr. Bannerman come forward, and take care not to inveigle himself with any fanatical party, he is sure to be elected ; and should he not come forward, the Liberals will start a gentleman who will unite the suffrages of all honest Reformers. SUICIDE OF CORONER'S INtzUEST. AN EX. P OLICEMAN .—Late on Monday eve ning Mr. Cart er , th e C oroner for Surrey, and a resp i eta b le Jury, met at the Adelaide Inn, Wandsworth, to inquire into the death of William Dickson, aged 38, formerly a iradesman of considerable eminence, but late a constable in the L division of police, w h o was found drowned in the river Thames. Mr. John Hall, carpet-warehouseman, No. 1, Southampton. buildings, Holborn. was well acquainted with the deceased, who was, the last time he saw him alive, in the L division of police. He was a married man, and had a family of seven young children. On Sunday morning last a policeman came to his residence and said a man had been found in the Thames at Wandsworth, with a sealed letter or. his person, addressed to witness. As s oon as h e saw the superscription he kr.ew it was the deceased, and cane over and idetrffieci his body. The Costar: Ea proceeded to read the letter. It was dated Saturday morning, and commenced write to you. I'm the victim of a broken heart, produced by a piece of tyranny unparalleled in its brutality. for b read dis " Dear John—lt is with feelings of no common kind that I - ishall d upon this cease to this earth, and by the time you receive charged from the police force, things I wish you to do, my dear John-_ exist.

The letter then.d: tails at eonsider able length the circumstance to which the unfortunate deceased alludes to in the previous part of his letter. It appears, that. he was dismissed the forca upon an alleged charge of drunken ness, and in the most bitter language he accuses some of his superior officers in the L division of the grossest injustice to. wards him, and says that, as they have throttni him destitute upon the world, his death lies at their door. Others of the officers and constables he speaks of in terms of gratitude. After some directions as to how money may be raised for his wife and family, the deceased says, " My body will be found somewhere near l'utnev. Bury it, my dear John, and God will remember writ," The . letter concludes with, " From your truly heart- In oken and wretched friend, WILLIAM DICKSON." The witness, who was deeply affected at the contents of the letter, said that, Lir years since the deceased was in extensive business as a draper, at Scarborough. He kept seven young men, and spent 8,000/. in the business, when he became a bankrupt. He had been in London during the last six months, seeking a siteation as assistant in the business, but could not meet with one. He had endured the greatest privations, and, as a last res.urce, had consented to become a policeman. Hs was not a man of intemperate habits. He had an extremsly sensitive mind.
