It is well known that the Gentleman's Diary and the - Lady's Diary have been for very many years published as two distinct Almanacks ; but as many of the Correspondents were contributors to both, it has been considered desirable to con dense the interest by uniting them in one publication. This was done last year, and the consequence has been such a vast increase of contributions, that the Editor has found the space of three sheets inadequate to do them justice. The Company, therefore, considering that this united Almanack may be the means of still further encouraging the growth of Mathematical study, by being the depository of the aspiring student and in quirer, have determined to extend the size by '24 additional pages, being convinced that the proportionate extra price of 4d. will not be regarded as an objection.

The unavoidable consequence of this is, that we meet a very considerable proportion of indifferent, uselcos, and even bad books. With the force of this prejudice on our minds, we with no little - reluctance were induced to peruse Messrs. Curtis's work, entitled "Manhood ;" nor d:d it re quire much perusal fully to satisfy us that the book was not one of the common stamp. The scientific views taken by the authors of the source and origin of many of the most distressing effects of certain depraved habits, fully establish their claim to the character of experienced and judicious surgeons. To quote passages from the work in proof of our assertion would be departing from the established rules of the daily press. The result, however, of our careful perusal of the work, has been to impress us with a thorough confidence in the talent and skill of the authors, and to satisfy us that those entrusted with the care of youth are not a little indebted to them for fur nishing them with a means of preventing some of the most frightful maladies to which flesh is heir.—Old England. Messrs. Curtis's work, entitled "Manhood," is one of the few books now coming before the public on such a subject which can lay claim to t'..e character of being strictly professional, at the same time that it is fully intelligible to all who read it. The moral and medical precepts given in it, render it invalu able.—Magnet. The perusal of Messrs. Curtis's book entitled " Manhood," has really astonished us by developing a.series of maladies, the never-failing consequence of the vicious habit of which it treats. The clear connexion pointed out between the assigned cause and the effects is perceptible to every capacity. We strongly recommend the work.—Age. The multitude of books daily coming from the press, some, nay most of them of a very questionable tendency, made us ex - trsmely reluctant to take up another. Having, however, been induced by the character given of this work by an intelligent friend, we ventured to open its pages, and now feel no liesita • tinn in saying that we arise from its perusal instructed awl edified. The clear exposition of the source of many of those diseases which proves so fatal to youth, and which are set down by the every-day observer as the result of common causes, such as exposure to cold, sudden vicissitudes of tempe rature, hereditary taint, &c., is truly convincing and extre mely satisfactory. We say " satisfactory," inasmuch as Messrs. Curtis have shown that many diseases, such as Pulmonary Consumption, Epilepsy, &c., hitherto the opprobria of medi cine, may, when taken in proper time, and submitted to judi cious treatment, be brought to as favourable a termination as any other class of affections. We do not think we go too far in saying that society is deeply indebted to the authors for producing so useful, so much wanted, so valuable, awl so truly moral a book.—Conservative Journal. We recommend the work entitled " Manhood," &c., to the careful perusal of persons of all classes. The moral a s well as physical advantages sure to result from such perusal, will be most readily recognised and felt by those who stand most in need of them.—Statesman. Messrs. Curtis and Company are to be consulted daily at their residence, No. 7, Frith-street, Soho-square, London. Country Patients are requested to be as minute as possible in the detail of their cases.—As to the duration of the com plaint, the symptoms, age, general habits of living, and occu pation in life of the party ; the communication must be ac companied by the usual consultation fee of 1/. without which, no notice whatever can be taken of their application ; and in all cases the Most inviolable secresy may be relied chi. , ----""k4,, est` ,. ._ N:VA 4 A, , 41,t'd•. • •,', kc..........yivip ~:.. ~'4 • ~ ...i r - , 1 ,.,...„,,e' ,‘ ',...: , • A , , .....

Our . readers may remember that Dr. Bowring brought before the House .of Commons. in a discussion on the Corn-laws, some cases of, individual distress at Boltdm that Sir Robert Peel caused nil inqUiry to ho made ltitn the circumstances stated by rsr. Bowring, and that on the report made by the Assistant Poor-law CommiSsioner who prosncutea the inquiry, Sir James Graham and Sir Rolsert Peel persuaded the House to believe that the statements made by Pr, DoWring Were eitaggerated, it s not unfounded. Since the close of Parliament Mr. Com missioner Mott's report has been published, and has been exultingly quoted by the Tories as a floorer for Dr. Bowring and the Bolton Anti-Corn-law agitators. In self-vindication the litter have collected evidence en the subject, and have published the result in a small pam phlet. It is impossible for us to give entire Mr.. Mott's report and Mr. Naisby's vindication, but we shall endea vour to place the matter fairly before our readers, and enable them to decide as to the credibility of the two statements. Dr. Bowring said in the House of Commons, speaking, on the authority of Mr. Naisby I visited (says the informant) a man and his wife, with four children ; I found two of the children lying on a piece of straw. without any covering. I went up stairs. and found the father dead on the boards, Without bedding or bed. His wife told me that the day before he died he wished fur a little bread and cheese, bat in Vain. Thel neighbours said he had died for want of fool" Another' wretched case.—" A man, his Wife, and 'two daughters (it is a Guardian of the Poor who speaks) lived in a cellar, the vvifla and daughters out of work ; this man earned about four shillings par week by weaving ; I was fetched by the neighbours, who told me the man had died of hun ger ; I found him lying dead on one of the 16oms ; they had neither bed nor bedding. I caused a Jury to be summoned; their verdict was, 'Died for want of food.'" He felt a difficulty in selecting cases from the many mournful examples he held in his hand. His correspondent had been called. ass visit a family which he was informed was in a state of starvation. He found the father had just sold all he had to pay his rent, and had re:nored, with his family, to his father's, whither he followed him, and found the man, his wife, and four children ; another brother, his wife, and three children ; a third brother, his wife, and one child, all the men out of work—all the women far advanced in pregnancy, in a house four-and-a half yards square ; they all slept in a room above of the same size, and lay upon little but straw. THE CASE OF JAMES PEARCE.—We shall follow Mr. Mott, in speaking of this case first. Into Dr. Bowring's statement, Mr. Mott was deputed to inquire, and ac cordingly he went to Bolton, where he appear.? to have remained one day. "I found," he says, " that the case in which it was represented that a Coroner's Inquest had given a verdict of Died for want of food,' was that of William Pearce: With regard to this case no ver dict was given by a Coroner's jury." How Mr. Mott found this' out, seventeen months after the event, does not appear. lie ascertained that Mr. Taylor, the Coro ner for the borough, had held no inquest ; hut Mr. Mott admits that Mr. Rutter, the Coroner for the county, and a Coroner's jury went to the house of W. Pearce; but Mr. Rut ter was then satisfied, says Mr. Mott, " that the circuru e stances under which Pearce died were not such as to require an investigation by a Coroner's jury. Mr. Mott might have obtained Mr. Rutter's attestation of . the fact, as he ob tained Mr. Taylor's certificate, and not having obtained it, Mr. Mott's assertion wants the support of evidence which might have been easily produced. Mr. Naisby states that the circumstances were inquired into by a Co roner's jury, and that " - one of the jury called upon me the day the inquest was held, knowing I had taken an active part in getting an inquest over the body, and stated they had returned a verdict—Died from want of food; and as a proof that that was the impression of the jury, Mr. Staten, reporter for the Bolton Chronicle, who Was one of the jury, stated at the Guardian meeting on Friday, the 10th of September last, in reply to a question from a Guardian, That he was on the jury, and they re turned a verdict of—Died from want of food.' This proves that the jury were of that opinion, whether the Coroner recorded .the verdict or not. No one ever thought of disputing that the man died from want of food." On this part of the case it is clear that there was an investigation, and that the jury came to a decision, which decision appears not to have been recorded, a loose mode of practice, which perhaps explains why Mr. Rutter was not called on to state the particulars of the case from his official records. Dr. Bowring . and Mr. Naisby were wrong as to the verdict, but the important inquiry is whether the death of Wm. Pearce was caused by destitution and starvation. Mr. Mott's report runs thus: —" I visited the house in Howell's Croft, and examined the widow, Ellen Pearce, and the statement made by her would certainly not justify the Charge of her hus• band's having died of want of food. She informed me that her husband died in the math of February, 1840, being above a year and a half ago ; that he was 65 years of age ; that he had been ill 18 weeks ; that he had plenty of work when he could do it; that he had worked at' intervals during that time, and that her Self and two daughters were fully employed, and were earn ing together about Os. 6d. per week at the time of her husband's death.; that he had not applied for relief, for they were comfortable then.' " For this assertion Mr. Met, has the widow's evidence, and the negative statement of several guardians and relieving officers that they knew of no such cases. He also has the registered certificate of Pearce's death, at 65 years of age, from gradual decay. At the same time lie admits, that after such a length of time " it is difficult for persons to recollect the particulars of the case." Difficult therefore for Mr. Mott to collect evidence from otheepersons than those who noted the case at the time, and recorded their impressions, but not difficult for them. Now their statements are to the following effect: —" Thomas Bradshaw deposes as follows—l was elected relieving officer to the Relief Fund Society on the 22d of February last year. On the Sunday following my appointment to such office, I was waited on by Mr. Coop, comb-maker, of Great Bolton, who stated that a man residing near his house was starving to death—this would be about eight o'clock in the evening. Mr. Coop requested that I would immediately go and see him. I did so. And. when I get to the place alluded to by Mr. Coop, I found Mrs. Coop there, and the man dead. I was informed he had been dead about a quarter of an hour. I felt the corpse, and it was still warm. I noticed the cellar to be in a very wretched state. Through the wall of the back part of the cellar I perceived dirty filthy water oozing through the crevices of the bricks, which I afterwards found proceeded from a midden stead adjoining the collar. There was a nauseous smell, and which I considered very unhealthy. All the furni ture in the cellar was a small three-legged table, an old Chair with scarcely any bottom ; and a. three-legged stool, such as children use ; there was a small bed stead, on which was placed some sacking, containing shavings ; the shavings were quite visible through the sacking. There was no covering. The bed was quite wet with damp, and stunk with filth ; so much so, that I gave orders to have it burned ; which, I believe, was done after deceased was buried. The corpse of Pearce lay on a loom, without any covering, but Mrs. Coop lent them a pair of sheets. The value of the furniture altogether, I should consider, would not fetch 2s. if sold. I asked the woman and her daughters whether they had any food. They said, " They had not tasted that day." I went to my house, and brought them a quantity of broth, which they all devoured very vora ciously. I was in the cellar whilst they partook of it, and one of the daughters, immediately after she had taken of it, began to vomit very much, which I attributed to an excess of appetite, andbeing kept without food so long previously. I may add, that previously to partaking of the broth, they began to quarrel amongst themselves which had the greatest portion. I reported the case, and they were duly relieved. On the 'Tuesday following, the Committee sat, and they were ordered to be relieved. I now refer to the book in which the Distressed Cases' are entered, and I find that they were relieved with a grant of three shillings per week. I find the following entry, Pearce, Ellen, widow, Howell-croft, to receive 3s. per week for an unlimited period ; and the following entry in the remarks, Husband supposed to have died from want.' " James Webster, a town missionary at: Bolton, who received information that Pearce had died from want. went to his house on the 24th of February, and his . evidence precisely confirms that of Mr. Bradshaw. The case is entered on the Benevolent Society's books, as in the books of the Relief Fund Society, " Died for Want of Food." Nancy Beswick, who had known Pearce for four years before his death, makes a similar statement, and con firms the destitution of the Pearces by many particulars. We will quote a portion of her evidence : " About three weeks previVus to the death of Pearce I stood against my own door-step and saw Pearce com ing towards my house. There are three steps up to my house. He looked very wan, and pale as death, and was so weakly that to get on to my house floor he had to go down on his hands and knees and creep up. He had been in the habit of weaving for us some months before, and I had missed him for a month about the day I am now speaking of. When he got in he said, Nancy, do, bless you, snake a sup of tea , for I am d y in g for want.' I made him some tea and a little toast, and he devoured it very greedily. When he had done it, he told me all that he had had for three or four weeks back ; he had had nothing but a basin of gruel per day to subsist upon. In about a quarter of an hour after the old man had had the tea lie was seized with sickness, and I had to obtain the assistance of neighbours, for I thought he was dying. We reared him up in chairs with pillows, and in about three-quarters of an hour he came round. I then asked him why he clammed himself to such a degree, and he said as lie did not belong to Bolton he could not get relief. He pulled up his trousers and showed me his legs, and they appeared nothing but skin and bone, and it was frightful to see him. He was taken home by my husband, and I and his wife went to the Overseers' office to represent the case to them. We sew Bridge, the assistant to the Relieving Officer, and told him the case, and he was very saucy, and said we had better mind our own business. I gave in the name of Pearce to the officer myself, for although his wife was present wizen the officer asked her husband's name she could not tel and desired me to do so. The officer said he would visit the case, but whether he ever did so or not I never ascertained, and I never heard anything more until about three weeks afterwards, which was that he was dead. I heard this the same night that he died, and went to' the cellar. I there found them in a most shocking state, and the cellar smelled so much thpt I could not remain in it. die was laid out on the loom, ?RICE 5d With a Sliedt eta him. I noticed in the back cellaran the he re was a sewer, or itildden channel,All floor was covered with nauseous filth ati: l water..4tt d t ran throug h, the goodi in the house were a Indian three-lel , ,z ed a Stool, Attie, and the bed, made of stlekingS ' oue, t a h bl covering. I went again on the Monday Morning , turned down the sheet to look at the corpse, and there were hundreds of creeping filth upon him. I pointed out the filth to his wife, and she appeared to be gutter:Mt." iYilliant Coop's evidence is precisely to the same effect, completely corroborating that of Mr. Bradshaw. We have on the one hand the testimony of four appa rently disinterested witnesses to the shocking destitution Of the family, and we have on the other the denial of the wife, who insists that they were comfortable before her husband died, and thenegatiVe evidence o f some Guardians. But if the family had any earnings, as Mr. Mott states they had, it would be a terrible reproach to the widow had her husband died of want, and she not given him relief, or, wanting the means, had not sought out the proper quarter for assistance. She had strong motives for making out a case in her own favour, and we consider, therefere, not• withstanding her assertion, and the certificate - 4f death which proceeded from her, that the balance og#stitriony justifies the assertion that Win. Pearce died froul rvation. Dr. Bowring and Mr. Naisby spoke the strict truth, except as to the doubtful circumstance of the verdict. At the same time the death of ans aged Man, surrounded by a family, whom all the witneises'deieribe as of 'waik in tel leet, And renderinghinttw aisistance,is no evidence what ever of the working of either the Cern-law or tliwPoor law, and ought never to Lye been quoted in Parliament. In all individual cases so much' depends ;on, the character and prudence of the individual, that it is very rarely such cases can be adduced as a general rule,!tor as illustrating a law. . • JAMES Brusron.—The next case , that o f James Bris tol, does not seem to us to afford any contradiatiOn! Mr. Mott's statement is this : i • " This man emigrated with his family from Alton Priors in Wiltshire, in 1836. He was then 35 years of arid his wife, Ann, was also about the . setae age. They had six children, three of whom were Of suitably ages for the factory work. lie emigrate through the agency of your Board, and consequently had' some . difficulty in procuring wortas , -Sucb a familas would, through the migration agency, have obtainedfernploy ment for a period of five years, at not less than 305. per week ; but James Bristol could only procure work fur himself, and engaged with a master at 15s. per week. The relieving officer, Mr. Brown, states, that he was applied to by Bristol's family, some months before his death ; that the Guardians ordered him to be relieved with 2s. GI per week for four weeks, and reported his case to the parish to which the family belonged ; that an answer was received, refusing to allow him out relief, but offering to take him and his family back ; that he communicated this to James Bristol, and they did not apply again ; that. he afterwards met with an accident in his master's employment, which rendered him incapable of working, and reduced him and his family to ;great distress." The widow's statement is as follows:-- " Ann Bristol says—My husband died about two years age. I recollect, when he was laid out dead, Mr. Naisby then coming to visit us. My husband was laid out on the necessary, door, up stairs, covered over with a sheet, which a neighbour had lent us. I was lame myself at the time, and could not walk. My child was blind at the time, having the St. Anthony's Fire: she was then neatly sixteen years of age. I had another daughter, very also, aged abbut thirtCen years. I had four other children besides, the eldest of which was nearly eighteen years of age, the next nine years of age, the next seven year of age, and the other four years old; altogether I had six children. For three weeks pre vious to my husband's death we had nothing but three shillings per week coming in; and we had to live some times on potatoes, sometimes on porridge; but had only one meal a day, which we generally made about four o'clock in the afternoon. I think it was for a fortnight that we had to confine ourselves to one meal a day, sometimes having porridge and sometimes potatoes. When Mr. Naisby found us in this state, we got more food. otherwise I believe I should have lost more of my children, for we had got as far distressed as we well could be to be alive. About five months previous to my husband's death I had a child sucking, which died; and I feel sure that its death was occasioned by my not being able to give it suck, for want of sustenance. I had no bed, bedding, or anything whereon to lay; when Mrs Naisby visited us. I had only a stool whereon to sit, for myself. I had no shop where I could get provisions at: they all refused to give me credit. My husband wished for a bit of cheese and bread, the day before he died, but I was unable to procure him any." It is confirmed by the statement of Betty Drown, which we quote for the illustration it affords of the ter rible condition of the poor at Bolton : " Betty Brown says, I knew the last witness's husband previous to his death, also all the family for about two years. At the time of the death of Bristol, I laid him out, on the top of a necessary door. I assisted to undress him, he having died with his clothes on, in which he had lain for many weeks, having nothing besides to keep bins warm ; when I cut his trowsers legs and stocking legs open, there were large quantities of creeping .filth, which had eaten quite into the flesh, and his legs were nothing but putrid flesh and scabs. He had nothing but straw to lie upon, which was spread on the floor. One of her chil dren had tho St. Anthony's Fire, and the . rest were all more or less very sickly and bad. They all slept together in one room, and the wife of Bristol had a great hole in her less, and could not walk or assist her husband ; but after she' had received relief and had got bedding, she began to come round. I recollect Mr. Naisby coming down, when Bristol was laid out on the necessary door, and I then told him the man had died for want, and I know such to be the case." THE KIRKMANS' CASE.—On the third case, that of the Kirkmans, there is too little difference of statement to require an observation. It is admitted on both sides that the Kirkmans were crowded into a 'small room, that they were bricklayers out of work, and that when their condition was known to the guardians of the poor they were relieved. We agree with Mr. Mott that the case does not imply "inattention to the wants of the necessi tous poor." On the whole we conclude that Mr. Mott's report confirms all the material points of Mr. Naisby s and Dr. Bowring's statement, except that a verdict, in the case of Pearce, was recorded that he died of starvation. The substance was there, the form was wanting. We cannot, however, close our remarks without ad verting to Mr. Mott and his employers. In the debate Sir Robert Peel made a remark which threw the blame, if any, of the miseries which Dr. Bowring had • detailed on the mode in which the Poor-law was administered. A Poor-law Commissioner was sent to inquire into it, and his great object throughout obviously was to exone rate the administration of the Poor-law from any im putation of not attending to the wants of the necessitous poor. The Learned Comtnissionerkept this object in view, throughout his brief and hurried investigation, and en deavoured to make out a case favourable to the Poor-law. It does not inspire us with any confidence in his impar tiality, when we find, at the commencement of his re port, these remarks, which had no relation whatever to the case in hand, in which, according to his own state ment, no verdict was recorded " It is to be lamented that verdicts should be given, implying such an awful neglect of duty as that of al lowing a fellow-breature to die of want, without the most satisfactory corroborative evidence A case has recently occurred in Manchester, where the verdict of the Coroner's Jury, on the body of a poor woman, was Died of diseased lungs, and other and want of food.' relieving officer had received no notice of the inquest, and the Coroner, on being ap plied to by the officer to offer an explanation, admitted that, had his evidence been received on the inquest, the Jury could not have returned such a verdict. In the town of Liverpool, last year, no less than seven different verdicts by Coroners' Juries declared the persons to have Died from want of the common necessaries of life.' On in vestigation it turned out that, in five cases out of seven, money was found on the person ; and one was the case of a young man of wild, dissipated habits, who was at the time of his death, and had been for some weeks pre viously, living with his father, a respectable man, at Liverpool, and in nc . her case had an y a pplication been made to the parochial authorities for assistance." Mr. Mott, then, imputations his investigation in the spi r it o f p o a u r fiercely repelling on the administration of n the Poor-laws, and that sp ir it he carried through. out. He is a partisan, not an i a t u d o " .e e e and if there w ere an y need, which there is not, we should ld impartial to doubt on the subject, conc lude that Mr. Mott was not to be trusted.

They followed the only practicable rule they could have for their conduct—the progressive increase of the population, in numbers and wealth prior to 1837, in constructing houses in the following years. That those houses are not wanted, according to Mr. Mott, is a proof of the fatal stop which has been put to the prosperity of Bolton. Instead of Mr. Mott reporting to his employers that there were too many houses in Bolton , he ought to have a reported that the prosperity of the t own had retceenivctl4,c i severe blow, as was proved by numberless untenanted tenements, .111 tenements, while the wretched inha bitants wered d to the dripping of cellars beneath dunghill_ expos e nd cheerless the most noisome fluids into their damp a dwellings. of Mr. Mott being made The partiality and i g noran ce we cannot give Sir plain on the face of the report, _ bti f • Robert reel an) appro a on or James Graham and Sir al in it For the Tory Journals, the confidence they plum, . • _ more eager to take a n advantage than to weigh testi mony, •Mr Mott's report is a m ost acce p table document ; but Ministers of the Crown should have some respect for their office and c haracter, if they have none for their opponents ; and they should, in quoting Mr. Mott's re port, have warned the House and the public that it Was WITH PR' Age9.0.1Age,30.1 Age 40.1 Ageso.

ROMAN REMAINS AT HEXHAM.—It has been disputed by some antiquaries whether the Romans, in their occupation of the northern portion of England, availed themselves of the strong natural positions pre sented by the site of the town of Hexhatn, for the en campment of their troops. The geographical situation of the place, however, and the,'discovery of Roman stones and inscriptions at various' periods, in the town and neighbourhood, leave, in the opinion of others, no doubt on this subject ; and, to establish the fact that the church and town of Hexhain are built upon the locality of a Roman station, a Roman altar was found here and an inscribed tablet, in 1725, belsides another tablet, cut by the mason who altered th .i crypt to its present form, and built it up in the vaults as viii- be found related b y Horsley.

They, however, quoted the --"ert in a partial ma.Ttier, and produced the impr .ssion that Mr. Nais4V and Dr. Bowling e: vgger .ted the distress at Bo)- ton. The loathsome s.. _lents we have copied, anal. Mr. Mott's unoccupied houses, teach a very different lesson. The scenes described by the evidence of Nancy Beswick and Betty Brown are such, till we react their po sitive testimony, as we supposed were never to be seen in .Christian England. We hope that evidence, loathsome though it be, will be read, and that the rich and the noble, and particularly the ladies and clergy of England, w ill feel 'it their duty to remedy the evils brought to light. If the ladies of Enziancl be not lost to the feel ings of womanhood, they will never allow their husbands fathers, ,and brothers to have any rest till those laws be abolished, which degrade the condition of the people of England to the level of that of the Hot tentots.

Robert Asia?, which we extract to-day from Rus sell-and Ryan's Croton Cases Reserved, it was held that Exchequer Bills issued as valid bills by the authority , of Government, though signed. with the name of the'auditor of the Exchequer, by a person not legally authorised to sign them, and therefore forgeries, cortaitute EFFECTS in the hands of bona fide purchasers, and that the innocent holders have a' claim on the justice of the Government for their payment. As to the other point raieed before the JUDGES in that case, it has no beatify , upon the law of the case n o w undergoing inquisitorial investigation at the Treasury. We need hardly add, that neither the forgery of Exche quer Bills, nor the embezzlement of securities or other effects from the Bank of England, is a crime MIN' punish able with death. Tile last of those sanguinary statutes was repealed by the Bill of Mr. Fitzroy Kelly last year. REX V. none= ASLETT. The prisoner was tried and convicted before _Mr. Jus tice Le Blanc, at the Old Bailey September Sessions, in the year 1803, for-embezzling effects belonging to die Go vernor and Company of the Bank of England, he being an officer and servant of the Bank, and, as such,' en trested with the effects. The first count ,of the indictment stated that Robert Aslett was an officer and servant of the Bank of England, and, as such officer and servant, was en trusted by the• said Governor and Company with,cer tain effects belonging to the said Governor and Com patty, that is to say, a certain paper partly printed and partly written, purporting to be a bill commonly called an Exchequer Bill, the tenor of which said paper, partly printed and partly written, is. as follows, that is to bay (setting forth a bill for 500/., No. 835), which said pare was, then and there, belonging to the said Governor and Company, and of the value of 5001., and. which said ,sum of 5001. in the said paper mentioned. was then and there unpaid and unsatisfied to the said Governor and ;%ompany, the holders thereof (the indict ment then set for eh two other bills in like manner, No. • 2,694 and No. 1,01, each 'for 1,0001. ;) and that the said Robert Aslett, so then an d there, being such officer and serf of the said Governor and Company, and so en trusted as aforesaid with 'lle said effects so as aforesaid belonging to the said Gov.ernor and Company, did then and there, with force and :.'er=rs, feloniously secrete, em bezzle, and run away with th.e.,said effects so as aforesaid belonging to the said Governor' .and Company, and of the value of 2,5001., against the st, etnte, and against the peace, &c. There were other counts in the h. Idielment, some like the first count above set forth; only ne a stating the paper to be of any value, and others not state. 7g any value, but stating that the Governorand Compan)' Jtad, on the credit and security of the paper. partly prie - eted and partly written, advanced a large runt of money'. whic h mone y was unpaid and unsatisfied to the Goverx.`or and Com pany, the holders thereof'. There were also another set of counts, call. 'w.;* the bills securities instead of effects. It was admitted on the part of the proseet et: on that those hills were not valid and legal Ex cheqe 'e. r Bills, having been signed with the name of Lord GrA the auditor of the Exchequer. by a person not 1,4, 7 , 311 Y authorised to sign them for bhp. But that they had been issued as good and valid bills, and the Gorer. nor and Company of the Bank had bought them and paid . for them as such. Judgment was respited that the opinion of the Jurcn. 3 might be taken, whether these bills or papers were effitcts or securities within the Act of Parliament, 15 Geo. 11., c. 13, s. 12. On the 16th of February, 1804, this case was arguecr by Erskine for the prisoner, and Giles for the Crown. Two points were made ; first, that . the 39 Geo. 111., c. 85, had virtually repealed the 15 Geo. 11., c. 13, s. 12, as to the punishment of death inflicted on the offence in the latter Act. Secondly, as these were admitted not to be valid Exchequer Bills, they were not effects within the 15 Geo. IL, c. 13. The JUDGES wer? unanimoNs that the 39 Geo. 111., c. 85, had not repealed the 15 Geo. 11., c. 13, and a majority of the JUDGES held that these bill.? and papers were EFFECTS within the 15 Geo. 11., for flit'?"

DURATION OF VITALITY IN SEEDS.—There are many remarkable instances on record of the dura tion of the germinative power in the seeds of plants. There are few gardeners who have paid any attention to the matter at all, but could, if they were willing, relate something interesting ou the subject. We have road of seeds springing after having lain dormant for 40 years in the garden of lJpsal, and also of seeds vege tating in Bushy Park, in soil that was trenched, sup posed to have remained undisturbed since the time of Charles I. ; also of raspberry seed growing that had probably remained for twenty centuries in a tumulus near Maiden Castle. But these cases dwindle into nothing when compar e d w ith th e one I s h a ll no w men tion.
