To be explained in FOUR MORNING and FOUR EVENING COURSES of LEC TURES, at the Egyptian Hall, Piccadilly, each Morning and Evening CoUrse explanatory of a different part of the New System, or of the Errors of the" Old, by ROBERT OWEN.

Mr. Owen anticipates that these Courses of Lectures will prove of deeper general interest to all ranks and classes, than any public discourses that have been given to the civilized world. It is a trial to ascertain whether ignorance, mystery, falsehood, injustice, division, poverty, universal disorder, and discord, with their consequent immorality, crime, and misery, shall, as heretofore, continue to direct the affairs of men, to the incalculable injury of every individual—or whether knowledge derived from unchanging facts, truth, anion, wealth, universal order and harmony, and their consequent morality, justice,, and happiness, shall, in futuro, govern the destinies of the' human race, to the incalculable advantage of every individual.

CHRONICLE.—A sudden change for the worse took place in the English Funds late in the day. The Market opened firmly this morning, and improved t o 88a t o f or th e A ccoun t, but about three o'cloek prices suddenly gave way, and closed at 88 to A, being a fall of per cent. This fall has been attri buted to several causes. First of all, it was currently stated that intelligence had been received from Paris by express with some unfavourable news relative to the strength of the Souk- Guizot Ministry, and rumours were , a!so alluded to, in private letters from France, that a revolutionary movement had broken out in Constantinople; in the second place, the news from the United States, by the Acadia steamer, was understood to leave matters regard* the case of Mr; M'Leod still in uncertainty ; and, last of all, a dissolution of Parliament was declared to be impending. From these causes combined, the City was in a state of considerable suspense and anxiety towards the close of business, and a few speculative transactions were made for the fall, but net to an extent adequate to account for so serious a depression, unless the market had been in itself intrinsically weak. Bank Stock gave stay 1 per cent. ; hiving closed at 162 to 4. TIMES.—The fact of the , resumption of cash payments by the United States Bank on the 15th ult. seems neither to have led to any speculation in its shares nor to have changed public opinion materially in favour of its ultimate prospects. Some of the circumstances which occurred on the eve of the resumption in Philadelphia,. have caused no small surprise on this exchange. It was stated, for instance, that a loan had been concluded in London, against which bills were drawn, and these bills were taken to a very large amount by the other Phi.. ladelphia banks on the assurance that a loan had really been raised, which assurance, by the way, would not have sufficed to procure the support of these banks, had it not been inti mated to them at the same time that unless these bills were taken the United States Bank would be unable to continue the resumption. Under the supposed cover of the loan these banks, which had all made large advances to assist in the return to cash payments were in a degree coerced into still further advances, and a corresponding increase, of course, of their liabilities. The whole, becomes, therefore, a very ques tionable affair, allowing that a loan had actually been concluded in London. It must, in that case, have been very secretly and quietly managed, for nothing of th e kind, that we are aware of, has been suffered to transpire. So far from it, the accepted version of the transactions between Messrs. Morrison and Son and Mr. Jaudon, on the acceptance of the agency, was, that the latter had himself placed a large sum of money in their hands to meet the draughts from the other side. Yet the per suasion in Philadelphia was, according to the present accounts, that Mr. Jaudon had no such funds to deposit ; that his " ways and means" in this country were to be supplied by a loan, and that he had written home to his colleagues of his having succeeded in so doing. All this may possibly be ca pable of explanation, but it wears at present a very awkward appearance. Of the general condition of the bank under this new state of its affairs, one of the most unpromis ing features is that it is actually trading to a loss, and that out of a capital of $35,000,000 they employ only $12,000,000. Much controversy has been raised on the value of the assets, and the actual worth of the shares, the partisans of the bank contending that a loss of $9,000,000, and its opponents that a loss of $19,000,000, is likely to be incurred in the process of liquidation ; but the market price alone is an argument difficult to overcome, which shows that at least one-half of the original capital is gone ; for the tendency of speculation in all such cases is to carry the price beyond the supposed actual value, allowing something for hope, especially since the change made in the European agency. How this bank is to make any profit under the resumption is by no means apparent at present ; for the vast amount of interest, and high interest, too, due on borrowed debt of various kinds, with suits in equity and other legal expenses, is alone sufficient to absorb all profit that may be reasonably looked for under the change of condition. Of the assets, even those that may ultimately turn out good to the extent set down, a small proportion only can come under the description of good banking assets, so that, as the future pros pects are uncertain, so must its course be crippled and irregular. Letters from Galveston ( Texas), of the 2d ult., state that business was at an entire stand; no money in circulation, and the Government paper at a discount of 86 per cent. The ru mours of invasion, however, by Mexico were dying away. The Texan fleet remained at sea, but had done nothing. By a return made of the trade of Texas it appears that the exports from the Ist of January to the 30th of September, 1840, amounted to $424,654 34c., and the imports to $983,884 65c. These returns are made from the several Custom-houses of the Republic ; but, in addition to these imports, a very large quantity of articles is imported from the States of Louisiania and Arkansas into the eastern counties, of which no note is taken at the Custom-houses, and a very large quantity of cot ton and other products of the country is exported from those counties by the Red River. It is estimated that not less than 20,000 bales of cotton are annually exported from those coun ties, and of these no note is taken at any of the Custom-houses. The quantity of specie exported during the above period is $54,534 38c., and other products of the country have been ex- ' ported to the value of $163,599 96c. These consisted chiefly of hides, horns, deer skins, buffalo robes, beaver skins, turtle oil, cotton seed , wool, cedar posts, live oak, horses, mules, and cattle. Immense herds of horses, mules, and cattle have also been driven to the United States, through the eastern coun ties. If the value of these could be ascertained it would be found, probably, that the disparity between the imports and exports would be greatly diminished. POST.—The English securities were depressed to-day by the report, principally, that M. Guizot had withdrawn from the French Ministry. There were, however, other vague rumours in circulation calculated to affect prices. Among these may be mentioned as one of the more prevalent, that the stability of our own Ministry was much talked of. The Royal Mail Steam Company's packet Acadia brings very late advices from the United States. She left Halifax on of f a v t een beent l ays a d n a d m a a g h e a d l n T h h e e r C o m l a o c m h i b n i e a r , y o , f a t r h r e i v the 4th inst., and has c o m pl e t e d h er voyage i n t h e s h ort space s e a d me at lin a s to g n id o t n o the 21st ult., having left Liverpool on the sth. As far as we can learn, she got out in perfectly good order. The public will be slow in future to place reliance on the stories fabricated by interested parties at the expense of Mr. Cunard's incomparable vessels, and the able management by which they are conducted. The United States Bank resumed specie payments on the 15th ult., and we are glad to find that, not only had the institution con tinued to pay in cash up to the latest date (31st ult.), but that, from the moment resumption took place, its deposits had been gradually upon the increase. The shares had gone down to 47, but rallied to 51, and were looking up, on the departure of the Acadia from Boston. The exchange on London was ma terially lower, a change that was produced by the large amount of paper thrown on the market by the United States Bank, who were again drawing on the agency, Messrs. James Mor rison and Sons. The impression here, from all that can be gleaned in the reports of the American papers, including the speeches of Mr. Clay and other leading members of Congress. is, that the difficulty respecting Mr. M‘Leod will be got rid of without recourse to any violence. The Governor of Jamaica, upon the opening of the legislative session, delivered a speech which is of a conciliatory character, and would doubtless be received by the colonists in the spirit in which it was conceived and framed. By the way of Jamaica we have accounts from Bogota to the 30th of November. The insurrection in New Granada was not put down, although, from the efforts making by the Government, there was every reason to hope that they (the Government) would ultimately prevail over the insurgents. The packets bring advices from the United Mexican Mine of a very unsatisfactory nature. The returns showed a sudden falling off in the receipts, which left no profit. Fresh grounds had been opened. The renewal of the lease of the mine was under negotiation. The packet brought 50,000 dollars on ac count, which it is understoDd are to be appropriated imme diately to the payment of 25 per cent. upon the red scrip debt. The information from Mexico (city) is said to be generally of a favourable tenour. From Buenos Ayres we have dates to the 6th of December by the Yarmouth, arrived at Kinsale. There were in port 153 ships, 50 of them British. There were plenty of freights, and tonnage commanded favourable rates. An alarm, which, however, was considered a most absurd one, had been spread of war having commenced between England and France. The exchange was at 2d. the paper dollar. lIERALD.—The Home Stock Market has bccn a good deal disturbed to-day, and without any very defined or intelligible cause. Consols have fallen about per cent. to the whole, the PRICE sd. Money price being 88, and f9r Account 88 to A. The causes generally assigned for the fall were certain intelligence said to he received from the United States to-day, showing the affair of Colonel M'Lcod to be more serious than was apprehended ; and a report of an entire change in the French Ministry. So far as the first rumour, it does not appear from the American papers that any material change in the features of the M'Leod affair had transpired. He was still in confinement according to all appearance, and if brought to trial and condemned war is inevitable. In respect of the change in the French Ministry it does not appear that. any reasonable account can be given about the reception of the news. SUN.—Among the numbers of arrivals today, none excited more interest and conversation in the City than those from America. The intention of the United States people to hold a grand meeting on the subject, as detailed in the advices by the Acadia steamer, is thought likely to embarrass the government of General Harrison ; but there are parties in the City who think that Mr. Clay and his followers will help to keep down some of the prevalent excitement. Early in the day the English Stocks were rather firm, though with very little business doing, but the tenor of the advices from the United States being re garded on the whole as unfavourable, and the arrival of the Acadia steamer not altering the complexion of the previous accounts, Consols receded before the close of business ti per cent. For immediate transfer and time Consols brought 88i to 884 in the morning, and only 88 to in the afternoon. Exchequer Bills were steady at ss. to 7s. premium, and India Bonds were nominally without alteration. Bank Stock was higher, having rallied to 163 and 1633, The New Three-and-a-Half per cent. Annuities were at 971 to 96N, and the Three per Cent. Reduced at 89* to 88k. There were the same features perceptible in the Foreign as in the English Market, viz., a steady appear ance in the morning, and subsequently a decline. The political intelligence from Lisbon was looked upon in a favourable light, but the advices on the state of the Treasury as being as bad as ever. Spanish Active Bonds were marked 24 'to 234; Portuguese New Five per Cents. 311, and the Three per Cents. 19k. Colombian Stock of 1824 got up to 23i, and Mexican of 1837 was at 274. Brazil Bonds realized 72/, Buenos Ayres ad vanced to 243 and 251, Russian were steady at 113 to 113. French Three per Cents, were dull at 76, and Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. improved to 50 and .501. There was, soon after the commencement of business, an upward tendency in the quotations of 4hares, which was checked, however, by the re-action in the Stock Markets. Great Western Railway Shares were at 261 to 26, the New at 11i to 124, the Fifths at 6-1 to si, the Birmingham at 86, the Manchester and Leeds at 8 to 6i, the New at 4, and the South Western at 19 to 19-A- premium. Brighton Shares were 6i to 7, Bir mingham and Derby 30, and North Midland 27 dis. United States Bank Shares were nominally, rather better to-day, viz., 9/. 10s. to 10/. per share. PUBLICATIONS.

The Work which is new presented to the public is the result of very extended experience in a class of diseases and affec tions, which for some unaccountable reason have been either altogether overlooked, or treated with apathy, and almost in difference, by the of Binary 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. Messrs. CURTIS and CO. are to be consulted daily at their residence, No. 7, Frith-street, Soho, from Ten till Three, and Five ill Eight in the Evening; and Country Patien►s are re quested to be as minnto as possible in the detail of their cases, —as to the duration of the complaint, the symptoms, age, ge neral habits of living, and occupation in life of the party ; the communication must be accompanied by the "usual Consulta tion Fee of U.," without which no notice whatever can be taken of their application ; and in all eases, the most inviolable secrecy may be relied on.

The Derby betting yesterday afternoon, if it did not extend over so large a field as usual, was not wanting either in amount or importance. The Rosalie colt was backed in several quarters at 16 to 1, and at that price con tinued very steady to the close. Next to him fol lowed Eringo, the Knight of the Whistle, and Co ronation, 23 to 1, 20 to I, 1,000 to 60, 18 to 1, and lastly, 17 to 1 about the Knight ; and 20, 18, and 17 to 1 about lEringo. At the close, perhaps, the Knight had a very slight call. Palamon was backed for nearly 3001., at 20 to I ; Camelion for a pony, at 24 to 1 ; Ralph, Mar shal Soult, and the Duke of Wellington, who were not in force, at 25 to 1 each, (30 to 1 afterwards offered against " The Duke,") and Sir Hans and Mongolian at 33 to 1 each (afterwards offered against the latter). Scarcely anything said about the outsiders. TILE OAKS.—The odds were taken about Kedge to upwards of 3001., and about Lampoon for a small sum, at the odds quoted underneath. Closing prices ;-.

LLOYD'S SHIPPING.-(THISDAL) NOTICE TO MARINERS,. TREATY WITH SPAIN FOR THE SUPPRESSION OF THE SLAVE TRADE. The following has been received at Lloyd's, from the Ad miralty, dated Feb. 13, 1841 : " Sir,—With reference to my letter of the 29th of last month, I am commanded by the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty to acquaint you, that as it appears the nature of tin> certificate required by the 6th clause of the 10th article of the Treaty with Spain for the suppression of the Slave-trade is not generally known, their Lordshipc have directed me to transmit to you a copy of the said clause, and to request that you will communicate the same for the general information of the trade. " I am, Sir, your most humble servant, 7" JOHN BARROW. " To Wm. Dobson, Esq. Lloyd's." ARTICLE 10. " It is hereby further mutually agreed, that every merchan vessel British or Spanish, which shall be visited by virtue of the present treaty may lawfully be detained aud sent or brought before the mixed courts of justice established in pursuance of the provisions thereof, if in her equipment there s h a ll b e found any orate things hereinafter incntioned r uamely : CLAUSE G. An extraordinary number of water-casks, or of other ves sels holding liquid, unless the master shall produce a certificate from the Custom-house, at the place from which he cleared outwards, stating that a sufficient security ha(l been given by the owners of sash vessel that such extra quantity of casks, or of other vessels, should only be used to hold palm oil, or for other purposes of lawful commerce." MR. HORACE SMITH'S " MONEYED MAN; OR TIIE LESSON OF A LIFE."—The title of this forth coming work, by the distinguished author of " Brambletye [louse," &e., has given rise to many suppositions as to the individual whose lineaments may be traced in the person of thehero. There are not a few of our city millionaires, whose " Lesson of Life" will be found well fitted to " point a moral or adorn a talc ;" and the public voice has already pro claimed more than one " citizen of sober fame" to have formed the original from which Mr. Smith has modelled his " Moneyed Man." The very multiplicity, however, of these conjectures sufficiently denotes the questionable basis on which they have been founded; and the curiosity to recognise the real hero of the story will probably, therefore, increase till the appearance of the work has put an end to all doubt on the subject. THE SPAS OF ENGLAND.—It is not a little remarkable that, while our nobility and gentry have been for years seeking to recruit their health at the continental spas, it has never till now been ascertained that there exist mineral waters in this country whose virtues are equal, if not superior, to the moat lauded of their foreign rivals. The merit of this discovery is due to Dr. Granville, the eminent physician, who has recently visited every part of England for the express purpose of making experiments on the different waters, and the results of his observations have just come before the public in the shape of a.small volume, with numerous illustrations. The work is dedi cated, by express permission, to her Majesty. HEALTH OF THE LORD CHANCELLOR.-- Yesterday the answer to inquiries respecting the health of the Lord Chancellor was, that " his Lordship has passed another good night, and is better this morning." DISEASE IN THE METROPOLIS.—From the returns made by the several hospitals in London of the number of applicants for medical relief, it would seem that the present winter has been severely felt by the sick poor. The Royal Free Hospital in Greville-street being the only one in London where the admission is immediate, the presence of disease, coupled with destitution, being at once a passport to its wards, its doors have been actually beset night and day by suffering beings of all classes. Thi ther the destitute sick from all parts of the metropolis ap. pear to resort, and it is impossible, therefore, to make two strong an appeal to the benevolent on behalf of a diaper that is at all times and in all seasons instantly accessible o our sick and destitute fellow-creatures. STATE OF THE ICE.—The ice, which as late as Friday morning blocked up the river and stopped the navigation, is entieely gone. The Gravesend, Itimsgate, Greenwich, and Woolwich steamers have commenced running from London-bridge, and the Red Rover, from Herne Bay and Margate, arrived at London-bridge Wharf on Monday evening with 100 passengers, an unusually large number at this season of the year. The &crema tion of boats and barges during the late frost has been very severe. Many coal-merchants are sufferers to the amount of from 3001. to 5001. each, and the boat-biers, ship-chandl ers , an d ot h ers w h o have waterside ptilethises have also suffered extensively ; but the greatest loss has fallen upon the poor watermen, who, in addition to the great privations they endured during the hate inclement season by the want of employment and the consequent deprivation of food, clothing, and fuel, have also sustained great losses by the destruction and damage of their boats, their only means of subsistence. Loss OF LIFE AT NEW ZEALAND.—The following persons were drowned by the upsetting of re boat, on the 25th of August, at Britannia, the new namo of the capital of New Zealand :—Mr. John Pierce, late of Birmingham; Mr. W. Elsdon, late of London; Mr. Richard Hight; Mr. J. Lancaster, late of London ; Mr. Josias Tucker, late of Cornwall ; Mr. Griffin, late steward of the Cuba ; Mr; Rogers, late of Cornwall ; Mr. Mar. tin, mariecr. The Ilairis Independent contains a notification on this subject to the effect that the electors are " requested to suspend promising their votes to any candidate at pre sent, as two gentlemen of high character and respectae bility will present themselves to their notice at the proper time. These gentlemen are of Liberal principles and supporters of the policy of the Ministers of our gracious Suvereign ; one of them is of high rank in her Majesty's service, and the other a gentleman resident in the county." We have authority to contradict the statement that has gone the round of the daily papers, copied from the Brighton Gazette, which circulates a report of " the projected marriage of the son of an eccentric and wealthy Nobleman with the pretty daughter of a Kentish inn keeper," &c., such report being entirely without foundation. RAILWAY THROUGH LINCOLNSIIIRE.—A short time back we called the attention of our readers to the recommendation of a gentleman, that the projectors of the Northern and Eastern Railroad should alter their pro. posed line, so as to have a terminus at Grimsby, thence to communicate by steamers with Hull, instead of carrying on their line to York : and we then showed that great ad vantages would result from the adoption of our correspon dent's suggestion. The merits of the scheme have since undergone considerable discussion, and its practicability is generally admitted ; that it would be the cheapest line yet ihiatoreepdeci alarmed that laid down is beyond dispute, and its direction through, or immediately adjacent to, the populous towns of Lynn, Wisbeach, Spalding, Boston, &c., would secure for it a great extent of traflic.—Boston Herald.

THE LONDON AND BRIGHTON RAILROAD. —The works on this line of railroad, near Brighton,-, which have been greatly retarded in consequence of the late frost, are now going o n with great activity. Th ere are at pr esen t upwards of 600 men employed in the tunne I at Clayton ; this stupendous portion of the wor k i s expected to be completed by next July, and the embank. merit and deep cuttings from thence to Brighton are in a very forward state, and Me ssrs.
