The Work which is new resented te the public is the result of very extended experience in a class of diseases and affec tiln.s, which for some unaccountable reason have been either altogether overlooked, or treated with apathy, and almost in difference, by the e: dinary practitioner. Te enter into the details of these affections, to point cut their causes, and to mark the terrific consequences, social, moral, and physical, which are sure te follow from indulgence, in certain habits, would be entirely out of place in an advertisement. We have ne hesitation, however, in saying that there is no member of society, by whom the book will net be found interesting, whe ther we consider such person te hold the relation et a PA RENT, a PRECEPTOR, er a CLERGYMAN.

Gentleman bad not, however, proved himself quite so honourable in return, for he had sunk a well in a chalk dell near his (Mr. Paten's), having all the' appearance of an Artesian boring to the lower sprirgs, whereas, in fact, it was hardly seven feet deep, and therefore cc,uld only receive the soakage of the land and surface water, and of course ebbed and flowed, rose and fell from every trilling rain that occurred, and strange to say, that for !upwards of three months the engines were at work, only cloven days out of that Feriod did the Reverend Gentleman ta , ulate it. He would ask was this conduct honourab;e ?—(Cries of No, no.") This Reverend Gentleman .had also publicly asserted that one spring in the neigh bourhood, used by a water-cresse grower, was abated by the working of his (Mr. Paten's) engines, but he forgot to let out the secret (perhaps Air- Clutt r')uck might not be aware of it) that this man used to dam the water back when the engines were not at work, and when they were, to let it drain off, and thus he effected a difference in the supply to the extent of three inches.—(Hear, hear.) He (Mr. P.) was prepared to prove this fact. Ile would now call their attention to a Mr. Dickenson, a millowner, who had set before the world through the press "that the wells in the neighbourhood of Watford were certainly lowered, and the springs nearly dried up, by the working of the Company's en gines." He (Mr. Paten) dared him to prove one so litary instance cf any such effect having been produced, and he held at that moment in his hand no less than 9S testimonials contradicting it.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. CLAPP expressed a desire to see the declarations alluded to, proving, in ninety•eight cases, the wells had not diminished one inch. They were minutely ex amined who ex orl:r nir l :e ur i r a ;: un asserted, the members of the Committe, pressed their satisfaction. b as A t y tti T coa E ryoti NivEtt,eolepr:srt take bu c kym c ea c ecd d awe e hi, d aeo . stwi; sr.Ainimbll foro:r, o . uAur D tnlr e c: r Cdss e ui jr n i yri a). s epnl o pui n :,;.

The only anxiety is respecting the ability of the Government to act up to them, seeing there is still so heavy a military expenditure going on, as compared with the means of the people.

This delay appears to cause some annoyance to the merchants and others interested in American affairs. The feature in the produce markets to-day was the exposition at public sale of 52,000 packages of tea, part of that sunk in the 'Westminster, Indiaman, off the Goodwin Sands, and since recovered (after being in the salt water some time), and washed and kiln-dried under the superintendence of her Majesty's officers of Excise. There were 11,500 chests in all, but 5,000 were recovered without damage. The tea was con signed to the eminent firms of Messrs. Forbes and Co., and to Messrs. Baring Brothers, and was allowed to be taken for home consumption, upon their special application, for the benefit of the underwriters. There have been al: along many grave doubts as to the pro priety of her Majesty's Excise not condemning such an article as unfit for entry, and the trade were quite in a ferment to know who would become the buyers of it, should it be offered by auction. To-day Messrs. Thompson, the brokers appointed, brought it forward, and there was a large attendance of speculators arid the trade, many present from curiosity, and not a few from the better motive of expressing their disapproba tion that the article had not been destroyed. Under such circumstances it was natural to anticipate a " stormy debate," which, accordingly, arose before the sale had fairly begun, a.nd lasted for some time. In short, it, was found, after a great deal of argument pro et con., that there was a feeling adverse to the course adopted, and the whole was withdrawn, not, we hope, to be given to the public in any other way. Kings Langley, Che:ham, Chenies, and Watford, and all other parts within 1131 square miles, of water. This statement was preposterous ; let them look at the supply of water required for London. From the evidence of Mr. Knight, in 1834, before a Committee of the House of Commons, it appeared that the three Companies north of the Thames, namely, the Grand Junction, %Vest Middlesex, and Chelsea, supplied 6,800,000 gallons to 41,000 houses. At the same ratio 0,287,000 gallons would be sufficient to supply the 56,000 houses proposed to be supplied by the London and Westminster Com pany. The springs rising in theupper part of the valley, from which the supply is to be taken, had produced from time immemorial . 11,000,000 per diem, being 20 per cent. more than is required by Mr. Knight s own showing. The CHAIRMAN observed that he had guagcd these springs himself; and knew Mr. Paten's statement to be correct. SUPPLY OF PURE WATER TO THE METROPOLIS. On Tuesday evening a special meeting of the Com mittee appointed by the Mat ylebone Vestry to watch and give support to any Bill or Bills about to be brought into Parliament for a better and cLecper sup ply of pure and wholesome Water for the Metropolis, took place at the Court House, Marylebonelane. Mr. HUGH BIERS having been appointed to the Chair, stated that it had been convened in order that they might be set right with reference to certain statements which had lately been put forward in the newspapers, emanating from a meeting of millowners and opponents of the proposed supply, held at Uxbridge and Watford. At the former meeting it appeared that only one side of the question had been argued, every body of su opposite way of thinking being ex cluded. At this one-sided meeting, however, it had been declared that the effect of the London and Westminster Water Company taking their wa ter from the chalk below I3ushey Hall Mea dows would be materially to injure and reduce, not only the wells in the immediate neighbourhood, but also the river Colne and its tributaries. lie was con fi lent this was an alarm raised without the slightest foundation. It was well known that there was an in exhaustible supply of water to be obtained in every part of Hertfordshire. It would doubtless be remembered by many members of that Vestry that London was sup plied with water from Hertfordshire long before the introduction of the West Middlesex and Grend June tion Company. That supply came from springs at Ware, and those at Bushey Hall Meadows formed a part of the same supply which fed the springs at Ware, and therefore the projected supply would only be a se cond tapping for the use of the metropolis, the only difference being that the supply would be obtained by a much less circuitous route. 'lliere were gentlemen present who had attended for the purpose of giving the Committee some information and proper data upon the subject ; and as assertions had gone forth to the public that the supply proposed to be taken from Bushey Hall Meadows would not be sufficient, in the first place, to supply the metropolis, and . that it would affect not only the wells, but the rivers for miles round, under such circumstances, he believed it was quite within the pros ince and the duty of that Committee to hear those gentlemen in explanation or refutation of those asser tions.—( Hear, hear.) Mr. Gomm was most anxious that every possible in formation should be obtained upon the subject, and that any improper or incorrect statements which had gone forth to the public should be corrected, and set right. He regretted the course which had been adopted at the opposition meeting at Uxbridge, in only allowing one side of the question to be discussed ; but he was gratified that the press were net excluded. Mr. PATEN here detailed his operations at Bushey Hall Meadows, which he stated had been carried on under an order of a Committee of the House of Lords. He had put nearly 20 borings in various parts •f that valley, and he found the springs in every one of them equally abundant. He subsequently commenced an Artesian boring twelve inches in diameter, and sank a pipe, as the Rev. Mr. Clutterbuck should have done, 80 feet deep, forcing it into the chalk by which all surface waters were shut out. He then bored deep springs, which he found to increase in geometrical progression the deeper he went. At the depth of 15/0 feet he put in two pumps, and the little boring of only 12 inches in diameter produced at the rate of about 700,000 gallons every 24 hours, and 12 or 14 of these little Artesian wells would produce the quantity re quired. lie subsequently sank a shaft, 20 feet in dia meter, going through the gravel, aad, by means of three double pumps and a six-horse power engine, he suc ceeded in getting down to the chalk. He found it necessary to erect. a 16-horse power engine, with which, to show the immense stream that issued, and the six horse power engine working up to *horse power, he could only get eight feet into the chalk springs, and although they continued working every day 16 hours per day for upwards of three months, and pump ing at the rate of one million and three quar ters gallons prr diem, yet they could not take away the water for the purpose of lowering the well, and after putting four small borings into the well, the water rose so abundant that those engines could not Inrrr it within pi i ht feet of thr bottom of the well, not withstanding the well was only 35 feet deep, and only eight feet into the chalk. Had these engines been of sufficient power to have pumped the water within two feet of the bottom of the well, it would alone have pro duced two to three million gallons every 24 hours ; and if he (Mr. Paten) had had a 75-horse power engine to have enabled him to have sunk the shaft 60 feet lower into the springs, that one well alone would have produced all the water required for the supply of 56,000 houses. At the time Mr. Stephenson the en gineer examined the works, the engines, by his orders, were at work 26 hours successive!), notwithstanding which the water could not even then be reduced lower than eight feet, and there it remained stationary. He h;gged to observe, in conclusion, that the Company would most readily assent to any protective clause in their Bill, although they were convinced from the expe riments that not a drop of water would be taken front the Colne, or any of the wells be affected thereby. The CliAtastAN observed that although the press was admitted it must be remembered that only one side of of the question was discussed, and that consequently only one side of it could be reported. Mr. KIRBT (Barrister) thought that the Committee could not legitimately permit gentlemen to go into the question geologically in order to disabuse the public mind as to the assertions made at the meetings of mill owners residing near the Comae River. He thought the information proposed to be afforded in opposition to those statements was more the business of a Committee of the House of Commons. . . Mr. GLAZIER observed that Mr. Dickenson had as serted that Mr. Paten's plan would scarcely supply two streets, whereas, one of the little twelve-inch borings would almost supply the 14,000 houses in Mnrylebonc.—( Hear.) Mr. Lowe was then requested to afford the meeting some information on the matter. Mr. Lowe said he was totally unconnected with the project for supplying the metropolis with water from the chalk springs. He came before the Committee cow amore, and as a member of the Geological Society, to bear testimony to the inexhaustible supply of water that could be obtained from the lower springs. Until the previous day he had never spoken a word upon the subject to any person connected with the project, and till that day he had not exchanged six words with Mr. Stephenson in relation to it. Mr. Lowe then observed that some exception had been taken to the alleged inexhaustible supply of the Arte sian system, because the wells of certain large breweries on one side of the Thames had been affected by those on the other. He begged to say tart this arose from the fact of the brewers hating contented themselves by going into the plastic clay formation only instead of descending to the chalk region. Tne ivi II at Messrs. Truman and Hd r n - bury's brewers, which had been sunk into the chalk, at an experese of several thousands of pounds, was a proof that any quantity of water might be got by going to the proper depth, and he had no doubt Mr. Davidson, the En gineer of the firm, would give evidence before the Com mittee of the House of Commons, to the effect that let them pump as much water as they chose out of the well, there was no sensible decrease of the water. The speitker then d p re ri s n v gs th a e t i a i tt a e t n ei t l i a o rn n C of ro t y h d e on C , o a m nd mittceto the chalk s Dorking, which ho said gave out vast quantities of water ; and after ad verting to the geo l og i ca l c har ac ter of the county of Hertford, observed that if there was one man who was 0 i p e o t upon better qualified than another to that paint, that man was Mr. Stephenson, during sesho, the herculean task of carrying through th Birming ham Railway, had to contend with the very waters . Ile had not the shadow of a doubt that all that Mr. Ste phenson had ever committed himself to on this subject hly borne out by him. He believed . there would be thoroughly some length went into the extent and could be no two 9 upon the subject. Mr. Lowe then, at the wish of the from which it was proposed to supply the metropolis. ex plaining that it was not to be supposed that it extended only what was termed the Over London basin, es, in fact, there was the Parisian chalk basin, and the Isle of Ni g ht chalk basin, though in fact, they were but one character Com m i Committee, e o , basin. As to the apprehensions expressed that the River Colne would be affected by the project, he thought they were entirely groundless. The bottom of the river was as impervious to leakage as a stone pitcher. In concluding his address, Mr. Lowe said he thought the project would be a greatpublic good,and it this belief that induced, him to come before the Com mittee. fetwhat iuselteiormnsedinththeegeiiGilekoalnofogoripmcia9alitoiSnon, Mr. GOMM thought the Committee ought to be de lighted to receive all the information they could possibly get upon so important a matter. Mr. CLAPP had no doubt but the points which had engaged the attention of the millowners, would be come the subject of a strict inquiry before the Com mittee of the House of Commons, but that was not to preclude the Vestry from obtaining all the information it could upon the subject. He had carefully read over nll the arguments adduced by the opponents to the London and Westminster Water Company, but he could find nothing which ought for one moment to stand in the way of the great project for obtaining a pure supply of water to the metropolis. This great project was not to be sat aside by a hole-and-corner meeting of thirty-seven millowners, xho refused to hear more than one side of the question.—(Hear.)

A reverend parson, tco, had drawn his conclusions from a small well but seven lett deep, and yet it was sought to attach weight to such an ex periment as this in opposition to the evidence of the first scientific men of the ago, and the interests of a million and a half of inhabitants. What ground of right, he would ask, had 37 millowners over water to be taken from a source extending even to the German Ocean ; and if their rights were affected was that too great a sacrifice for the hundreds of thousands of per sons whose health was at present affected by impure water ? Mr. GLAZIER said he had witnessed the operation of the works at Bushey, and he was convinced that there was more than sufficient water to supply the whole of London twice over.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. KIRET inquired who the gentlemen were, and what their connections were with the Company, who were to afford information. The CHAIRMAN said one of the gentlemen was Mr. Paten, the projector of the plan, and the other WAS named Lowe, a geologist, ar.d a Member of the Royal Society of Engineers. The latter gentleman he under stood was altogether unconnected with the Comony. Mr. GOMM, suggested that Mr. Paten be fi rst heard in justice to him, as it was his statements in particular the millowners impugned. Mr. GLAZIER said it was for that purpose Mr. Paten had been requested to attend. The CHArniAN said the two points . in particular the -- were the quantity of water to be supplied, and the to the supplyeffect of its being taken away upon the locality f rom which it was to be taken. Mr. PATEN said he was much obliged to the Vestry for the opportunity afforded him of refuting tor convince the state ments put forth by the opponents of pure water to the people of London. no attended led with good their meeting at Uxaridge, conceiving it to be . near Bushey, .a public one, for the purpose of endeavouring millowners that London could be sC i fromwwiattheorut the the infl i valley cti o ll o'foafnythien jCuhryalktoHtilielllisi; or any other that the feeling by was im i a lc g t in u e a d t d would have been him at e that meeting a fa- P A r i t e i l e l s ' be I ( i l\ e l s r li . o 1" 1 a l ( t i e 11) have s u fE u r e a l e b i n e t r t e o c e h p a t v i o e Il ;however, ensured the contrary was the case.

Deposit 11. per Sha e. The names of the Directors will be published on Saturday next. The objoct of this Company is to carry into profitable em ployment the patent which Mr. Taylor has obtained for Eng land, Scotland, Ireland, and the Colonies, for cutting wood by machinery after it has been steamed. For a quarter share of the pr.,fits arising from the manu factories, and one-hall from the licenses, the Patentee has con sented to vest the whole ?vent right in a Company, providing adequate capital to carryout the greatbusiness likely to arise front it. That business eat be measured by the factthat it is calculated to supersede all the cooperage in the kingdom in the making of casks, inasmuch as, if tho materials could be had for nothing, under the present system, the expense of labour alone would be greater than the entire cost of both materials and labour under this patent. The machinery with but two-horse steam power, performs 120 evolutions, and with two cutters cuts 240 staves per minute, making no sawdust, and occasioning no further waste of mate rial titan the inequalities of the surface of the Mocks. The Inaiiiinery can be applied to all other wood cutting, as well as the making of casks, and the patent granting the exclu sive privilege of cutting wood softened by steam, cannot be su perseded or rivalled by any other mode of (Ai' ting, of which the steaming of wood is a necessary element. A very large manufactory would be required in London for the business to be carried on in the metropolis alone—other ma nufactories might be established in the large maritime towns of the United Kingdom, or licenses might be granted to residents in such towns upon terms to be settled by the Company. At present the square tower and adjoining premises east of Wa. terloe-bridge, on the Surrey side, are used for the purpose. In dividuals desirous of embarking in the Company may see the machinery at work daily, and satisfy themselv4s of the immense capabilities and great probable profits of the undertaking. The capital may be expanded or eontracted as may bo expedi ent, and nw public Company, whether large or small, can fail in profitably employing its money. The business may be carried on with 5,0001. successfully, though ton or twenty times that amount would create a much more than proportionate return. Sixteen patents have been granted by foreign Powers, but it is not proposed to include them in this Company. The Standing Orders of Parliament have been complied with, and a Bill in the present Session may be expected.to be passed, authorising the transfer of the patent to more than twelve per sons, and empowering the Company by Act of Parliament. Should all the Shares not be taken before the passing of the Act, the Company will go on with such capital as shall have been subscribed ; but no further Shares be issued after the passing of the Act save at a premium, for the benefit of the original Shareholders, who shall have the pre-emptlon of claim ing them at such premium. Application for Shares may be made to E. M. Elderton, Esq., Solicitor, 40, Queen-square, 13loomsbury ; or W. H. Taylor, Esq., the Patentee, at the Manufactory.

It is a mclanchaly fact that thousands fall victims to this horrid disease, owing to the unskilfulness of illiterate men, who, by the use of that deadly poison, mercury, ruin the con stitution, cause ulceration, blotches en the head, face, and body, dimness of sight, noise in the ears, deafness, obstinate gleets, nudes on the shin bones, ulcerated sore throats, diseased nose, with nocturnal pains in the head and limbs, till, at length, a general debility and decay of the constitution ensues, and a me ancholy death puts a period to their dreadful sufferings.

From an unusual press of matter we are compelled to I restrict ourselves to a brief summary of the contents of the leading articles in the Morning Papers of this day. The Times, speaking of Lord Stanley's Irish Registration Bill and Mr. O'Connell's determined crposition to it, says :—" needs no prophet •o assure us that this well considered Bill must pass. Tho reign of O'Connell over the people of Ireland has been established on peefidy and depravity. It is about to be subverted by justice and tair dua!ing. Who can wonder that the tyrant shudders at the name of Lord Stanley, and cannot utter it without en exe cration:" The Morning Chronicle observes, with refer ence to Lord Stanley 'a Bill :_'• Again and again we intreat the British prblic not to suffsr thernselve , to be duped by the professions of Tory legislators and the titles of Tory Bills. The Bill in question is entitled a Registration Bill. That title is ahe ! he Bili is a Bill of disfranchisement, and nothing else. It is a measure expressly concocted to co-operate with the system of extermination going forward with cruel rapidity in Ire land, to bring about a re3toration of the execrable Orange sway." The Morning Post thus alludes to the same ob. noxious Bill Lord Stanley's calm and guarded perse verance will succeed, and to him will belong much of the honour and credit of abating the foulest nuisance which now invades the purity and honesty of the representation of tile people in the House of Commons." The Morning Herald, in a leading article on the subject of the approach ing East Surrey Election, remarks as follows :—" The Thames must flaw back on its source, before the current of pc)• litical feeling in East Surrey runs in a Whig-Radical chars_ yell. ' The Melling Advertiser has the following remarks on the subject of our Eastern policy :—" The glorious vic tories achieved on the Syrian coast, and the final settle ment of the differences which existed between Turkey and Egypt, have fully justified the confidence whit h we placed in the ability of the Noble Lord at the head of the Foreign Department, and in the good sense of his col leagues in entertaining and giving support to his views. The setil2ment in question, upon the basis originally pro posed by the Powers, parties to the Treaty of July 15, may n ew be raid to have insured the general peace, and re stored the balance of power, by establishing the integrity and independence of a vital element of it. Nor has the mode in which this has been effected by the surrender of the Turkish fleet, and the good faith with which the Sultan has acted, in confirming the Viceroy in the hereditary pachalic of Egypt, at the instigation of the Four Poweit, left any room to lselievc that the settlement which has been ffacted will be disturbed by any more reservstioi,s or pro tests, on the part of either the disagreeing or consenting parties. The rapid success of our alms would have seemed unaccountable, had not the sympathies of the Mahomedan population of Syria gone along with them, and in this also, though much deprecated at the time, the event justified the completion of thy Qaedruple Treaty, at the moment when the Syrian insurrection broke out. No means could have been better pro portioned to the end, nor could any have been used which gave era cause to other Powers to dread eggran d.zement or corquest. Neither has there been the least cause, throughout the whole warfare, of incurring any risk of the European equilibrium by calling in the aid of a Russian army. On this ground especially Ministers may fairly take credit for not having disturbed the peace of Europe, by attempting an object with which they were not prepared to grapple. But it would seem, from recent speeches, that it was improper as a matter of foreign policy to have undertaken the restoration of the independence of the Turkish empire at all. According to Mr. Grote and Mr. Ilume, the settlement of the Eastern question, or, in other words, the preventing of Constantinople and the trident of the sea from passing into 'i.e v hands, was not an object of such importance to England as the aid and alliance of France. The plain fact is, that if the Four Powers had not interfered in the affairs of Turkey, Russia would have interfered of her own accord, and for selfish purposes, and that the former, instead of being, as she now is, a main element in the balance of European Powers, would have been prostrate at tho feet of the latter. Whether this was, or was not, a desirable object—whether prevention was not batter than care—and whether the. Ministry is not entitled to the gratitude, not only of England, but of all Europe, for having prevented war, and sown the seeds of peace, and of the civilisation and peace which naturally spring out of it—we leave our readers, Tory, Whig, and Radical, to judge." MUNE Y MARK ET and CITY NEWS (WEDNESDAY EVENING.) TIM E S.—By the letters from Manchester it appears that the last advices from New York have had some in. fluence in checking the rising activity in the power-loom goods market. All descriptions of goods which were par t.cularly adapted to the consumption of the United States have become nearly unmstkotable, and some orders given out on contract a short time back have been counter manded. For Turkey and Greece, which are chiefly sup plied with hand-loom gods, the demand was fully kept up. The complaints of a scarcity of money seem to have ceased, and to insure tha full development of that pros perous trade, of which the indications have been so mani. teat for some time past, nothing appears to be wanting but a steady well-regulated currency, so that merchants might pr.scced with their operations without fear of being under mined by some of the " stringent" operations, which f. arc aide to discern before they actually take place, of the Bank of England. If such a state of things could be es. tablished, the teirporary cessation of the demand from any one quarter could hardly be referred to, as it has been in the present accounts, as an event of any impertance. A large parcel (about 40,0004) of Consols for money was sold by the Government broker in the course of the day, which, by enhancing the value of money, depressed the market. The sale is said to have been cut cf the Savings'-bank Stock, but for the purposes of the G.,vern ment. POST.—The at'empt made to-day to put the kiln• dried tea, forming the cargo of the Westminster, sunk off Margate, up to auction, was resisted by the trade. The attendance was numerous, and the conduct of Govern ment in authorising the sale of a damaged article of this description, was comm;:nted upon by several gentlemen in a manner that was by no means complimentary to them. The trade were very properly determined not to allow the damaged commodity to find its way among the retailers, and the intended imposition upon the consumer was reluc tantly abandoned amidst a storm of vociferation expressive of the feeling of the dealers. The auctioneer was interrogated as to the arrangement entered into between the consignees, or importing houses, and Government, respecting the duty to be paid on this cargo. H.: was, however, not prepared to giv„; au infor mation upon the point. HE RALD.—The Funds declined again from the sligi.t rally of yesterday, and Consols closed at 89k for Money, and 89k for Account. The more immediate cause corn. monly assigned for this decline was a sale of 40,000/. Money Consols on Savings'-banks account by the ,Government broker, The amount is entirely insignificant, for it is no more than what a broker in moderate business might be ca►led upon to do in ordinary times, but the operation is otherwise significant. It has been observed on various oc casions of late, and since it was well uuderstocsd the Treasury was pressed for means extra of the supply Bills voted last Session, that the Savings'-bank Fund has born made free with by sales on Government account, and it is gathered from these indications as probable that, rather than resort to a lean to cover the large deficit which must exist betwixt revenue and expenditure, the Treasury people are man ceuvring to raise the wind gradually by making free with the funds of the Savings'-banks. The deficiency daily growing and pressing upon the Exchequer as the claims pour in, not of the present year alone but of past year', night have been met by the issue of that class of Exche quer I3ills, notoriously enough known as " Deficiency Bills," but the fact is that the Exchequer Bill market has long been in too weak a condition, vibrating as it is and has been between a small premium and abso lute discount, to admit of such an operation. There_ fore it is that the Savings'-banks, which should be a fund ❑ever broken in upon, or if at all only when some positive advantage is found to accrue both to the Government and to the management of those institutions, is resorted to in moments of pressure by financiers like those of the present time, whose greatest anxiety and gra tification it is to put off the day of reckoning to the most distant date possible, so that departmental estimates and budgets should not shock the " ears " economic if rot " polite " of the Commons' House until the latest period practicable in the Session. Bills and balances of ac. count of Canadian expenditure arising out of the insurrec tions in Lower and Upper Canada have poured in already to the extent of 500,0001. or 600,000/ , a large portion of which is to bo provided for over and above the expenditure otherwise taken into more exact estimate in last year's financial takings, and this large amount, which is believed to bo a good deal below the sum total of damage of which all the bills of parcels have yet to be delivered, properly appertains in great part to, and should appioximatively have been met and covered so far as possible by votes of credit and appropriation two years ago, instead of being lcowly left to find their way against the Exchequer at any time, and finally to be paid off by recourse to the usual draft upon the Bank against en issue of " Deficiency Bills." Sonic small portion of the bills of pascals for Syrian and Chinese, if not for East Indian, glories must by this time be making their appearance also at the Treasury, in the shape of commissariat and other drafts, but where practicable it will be an object within the usual policy of the financial people to stave off the bulk of these accounts, so as to throw them past budget delivery, in which case the present year's burden might be eased in ap pearance, but after all at the expense of the next. Alto gether it may be confidently taken for granted that finan cial affairs arc in no very enviable position, and that the Chancellor of the Exchequer would not be greatly con cerned if the ensuing Easter holidays, previous to the awful moment of budget delivery, could be indefinitely pro longed to something nearer the epoch known as the Greek Kalends. SUN.—The English Stocks are uffected by an in creased demand for money, and by the exertions of the jobbers to keep the market in their favour, in case of a new loan. For immediate transfer, Consols brought S9i to 894, being i f per cent. lower than yesterday, and for time S9i. The market closed rather heavily. Ex chequer Bills were at 3s. to Gs. premium, and India Bocci: :it 10 discount. Bank Stock w,ls fl it but with out alteration, being marked 165 ; and the Reduced Three-and-a-Halt per Cents. were done at 9Si to The financial decrees of Spain still occupy a large share London.' NOTlCE.—Proposals for Assurance by persons desirous of participating in the BONUS applicable to the year from Feb. 1840, to February 1841, ought to be lodged at one of the London offices, or with an agent of the Company, on or before Wednesday the 10.11 February next. All Licensed Attorneys are authorised to act as Agents for the Company, to the effect of receiring and forwarding Proposals for Assurance, for which hey ar© remunerated by a liberal Commission.
