The following are a few of the numerous testimonials this popular work has received, and which the limits of an adver tisement will only allow of being published : The rage for books in all departments of Science, literature, and the arts, was, we believe, never so prevalent as at the pre sent time. The unavoidable consequence of this is, that we meet a very considerable proportion of indifferent, useless, and even bad books. With the torte of this prejudice on our minds, we with no little reluctance were induced to peruse Messrs. Curtis's work, entitled "Manhood ;" nor did 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 lor 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 befor the public on such a subject which can lay claim to tLe character of being s' rictly 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•-111egnet. The perusal of Messrs. Curtis's book entitled " Manhood," has really astonished us by developing aseries 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 questiona',le tendency, made us ex tremely reluctant to take up anot h e r. 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 hetita tion in saving that we arise from its perusal instructed and edified. The clear exposition f 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 Pulnionsry Consumption, Epilepsy , &c. , hitherto the opprobria of medi cine, may, when taken in pi oper time, and submitted to judi cious treatment, be brought to a: favourable a termination as ant other class of affections. We do not think we go too far in s•iying that. society is deeply indebted to the authors for producing so useful, so much wanted, so valuable, and so truly moral a book —Conservative Jnurnal. We recommend the work entitled " Manhood,' &c., to the careful perusal of persons of all classes. The moral as 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.

OF THE SUN. Sin,—Being largely interested in the article of Manure, I hope you will allow me a little space in your paper to c3mplain, not, as I think, without reason, for want of that protection to which I consider I am entitled. Would you believe it, Sir, no sooner am I benefited by the rise in price of manure, than the farmer's have the audacity to give me the go• by, and use a parcel of nasty foreign productions, in the shape of nitrate of soda, the dung of a bird called guano, and I know not what besides. Sir, I call for a protective duty on these foreign articles, that I may be able to keep up the price of my manure. Sir, I know you are opposed to protective duties, and so am I, but what is sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander ; and while the farmer makes me eat his corn, I have a right•to make him use my manure. If I hav'nt, let me know, for, for the life of me I cannot make out anything else in justice. But only let him allow me to oat what corn I please, and ho may import manure from Van Diemen 's Land if he likes. _ I am, Sir, your obedient servant, A COUNTRYMAN. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sit,--Observing in your paper. of yesterday a para graph respecting guano and nitrate of soda being used extensively as manure by the farmers, I beg to inform you that the price of either of these articles is about 261. per ton. The price of good flour in bond is about the same. Thus showing that the operation of our blessed, economical Corn-laws is to cause the farmer to expend in manure alone for the cultivation of corn, a sum equal to ' that for which you may purchase corn itself. Was ever folly so monstrous, or waste so wanton ? How long will the people of England endure this burden ? For, be it observed, they are compelled to buy and eat this corn thus produced at, an expense so enormous. Again, I ask, how long ? They have only to will, and this " master grievance" is abolished. Why, then, do they hesitate ? Are they waiting the issue of Peel's Budget ? Or, do they want to hear of Peel's new taxes first, in order that they may be duly aroused from their slumber by the call for more money ? I believe, Sir, that both these causes make them hesitate, and that when Peel's Budget shall bra* forth to view he will find that the people, whom ho thought so submissive and so indifferent, will arise in their mighty strength, and show him in language not to be misunderstood that they will be trifled with no longer, whoever may be in power. Let him be wise in time. Your's, &c. NEMO. ROYAL THAMES YACHT CLUB. GRAND SAILING-MArcrtts.—A fine day's sailing was Thursday's ; it was from first to last a thorough scien tific exhibition. This day's sport was the concluding one of this season with yachts of the Thames Club, and, as usual, there were three prizes given for the respective classes engaged in the race. The Club, which boasts the august patronage of her Majesty and Prince Albert, has, during a succession of years, done much towards cre sting a spirit of emulation in the science of sailing. The following had been entered to contend : Yachts. Tons, Owners, Colours, FIRST eL4SS. Gazelle 25...H. Gunston ... ...... White with Red Arrow. Ada 25••• Hon. H. N.

Brilliant The prizesfor the successful owners were silver salvers, not cups, as heretofore. The weight of that int e nd ed as the chief prize was 70 ounces, and that for the second class some 18 or 20 ounces less. A very pretty cream ewer was added to these as the award of victory to the light class yachts. The bOat which eamo in first, of whatever class, was to take the most valuable of the prizes. The company assembled to witness the match on board the Sovereign steamer, but the attendance was not so numerous as on many former occasions, although equally as select. The wind was blowing strongly from the W.N.W., a fine whole sail breeze. A fair wind down to sail every reach, and a dead noser up to try their powers to the wind. In consequence of its being a very late tide the start was delayed until exactly a quarter to one. The race was most spirited, and the yachts spanked down to the flag-buoy, at Coal-house-point, in first-rate style, and rounded the flag-buoy in the following order : The Ada, 39 minutes 10 seconds past two ; the Ga zelle 30 seconds past three ; the Gnome 1 minute 40 se conds past ; the Victorine 3 minutes 5 seconds past; the Widgeon 3 minutes 10 seconds past ; t h e Sabrina, 3 mi nutes 15 seconds past ; the Vixen 9 minutes 15 seconds past ; the Lady Louisa 16 minutes 20 seconds past ; the Brilliant 17 minutes 8 seconds past ; and the Rival 17 minutes 15 seconds past. It wanted a full hour to flood : the tide was running dcwn hard, and the wind a dead noser. With these dis advantages, it was evident that nothing but power in the vessel, and seamanship in the captain, could command success. The whole of the yachts turned into the slack, and began the work of beating up. The Gazelle doused her topsail, being unable or unwilling to carry it, but the Gnome stood upright under her's, although by many nau tical men on board, is was asserted that she had a trifle too much of it, and that her bows were consequently buried in the water. The Victoria made a good board, and went out to windward of the Ada, Gazelle, and Gnome, thus taking the leading place. They all began to make fine play. Changes of position were momentarily ex pectod,and manyanxious eyes were turned towards the spot, when on a sudden the mainsail of the Gazelle, which was at the moment challenging the first boat, was seen falling to the deck. She had carried away ber main halyards, and she was driven, before she could in any way re pair, at least a mile to leeward. 11er chance with boats of such even tonnage was evidently gone—no chance was left for her, and, as far as she was concerned, the fortune of the day was determined. The Gnome and Ada made a sweet match for the second place, but the Victoria held her own, and it was evident, as they neared Grays, where the tide had made, that save accident, she must win, which was the result. In the lower part of Long Reach the Ada went to windward of the Gnome, and took the second place. They arrived at Greenwich in the following . order :,--Victorine, 30 min. 40 sec. past seven ; Ada, 33 min. past ; Gnome, :34 min. 30 sec. past ; Sabrina, 38 min. past ; the Widgeor, 45 min. past ; the Gazelle, 47 min. past ; and the Little Vixen at eight o'clock. The Messrs. Stokes claimed the first class prize, although a boat of the second class, and the Hon. H. M. Upton the second in value. Mr. Wright the third class. After waiting the usual time the prizes were presented by the Commodore, who made an appropriate speech, in which he complimented the Captains on the skill they had displayed. The healths of her Majesty and Prince Albert were drunk with much enthusiasm. The Com modore and Stewards of the Club were attentive as usual to the comfort of their gut sts, and the refreshments .1 were most excellent, and reflected much credit on Farmer, the Steward. The company arriyed in town at nine o'clock. SANGER. ST. ALDAN's.—As soon as it was positively ascer tained that our gracious Queon and her ill u strious Con sort would pass through St. Alban's, on their vis it to Earl Cowper, at Panshanger, every effort was m ade to . render their entry a tritunp ' t one. The worthy Ma y or (Mr. Rutnball) convened a 'Vic meeting, to ta ke into f t consideration what would b he best means to ca rr y the wishes of the town into e '' and. the call W M q uickl y responded to by all the zes . 'table inhabitants, of both sides of politics, whose only ambition seemed to he to outvie each other in the„.x!+:nt of their loyalty. A Com- mittee was formed, a subscription entered into, and funds to a large =omit quickly raised. The trium phal arch, planned by Nir. Eoutell, was 120 feet long, and formed of different foliages, on which were vari ous ornamental devices ; among others, " Welcome," " Queen and Constitnion," ~ V. it," "P. A.," the whole surmounted with different emblematic flags. In the interior of both sides wer:? erected galleries for the accommodation - of the latleseind the whole presented an exceedingly pretty and piett es lite appearance. Indeed there was scarcely a houss in the town that had not some ornamental work.. At abc.utqine o'clock the Loyal cortege was announced to be in sigliii:krithe tiring of.a small bat • tery, which was placed 14)4 :the tower of the clock house, and the sudden chir,iing in of the bells of all the parish churches, RIM in a feW moments England's hope and pride was greeted by the cheers of the loyal people of St. Alban's. .il p.ocession, composed of the Mayor and Corporatiot, and a long line of Com mittee-men, with a bawl, and numerous flags at their head, ushered her Maj , !sty into the town. Her Ma jesty was pleased to evrc4s her gratification at the cordiality of her welcome, And the Marquis of Read fort was commissioned to 'tate her thanks, in. the strongest terms, to the Mavot tuul the inhabitants for the kind reception she had beet.. greeted with. Her Ma jesty was accompanied by tke.. same retinue that left Windsor with her, and was by the Hertfordshire. p.,.3in .. rX-- ;. - ,f).driag., - .4.4sAinie Which was occupied br.changing. horses, the Earl of Verulam presented his Royal Highness Prince Albert with a bouquet, which 'M.'S' most graciously received by the Queen. Her Majesty will "atmour St. Alban's, on Saturday next, with a second visit on her return to Windsor. (ANOTHER ACCOINT.) At Hatfield a triumphal arch, unique in its conscruc don, and elegant in its effect, was also erected, and it was noticed by the numbers congregated at that point of the road that the taste displayed • was honoured by the royal notice. The immense mul titude of persons congregated in the capacious park of the Earl Cowper, at Panshanger, ?resented a coup d'a o l which must have convinced her Majesty that the loyalty of the people of Hertfordshire has suffered no diminu tion since that country was last honoured with the Royal presence. on the occasion of the review in Hatfield park. The whole of the carriagi-drive, from the en trance at Cole's-green, was lined with vehicles. The children of the different charity schools in the neigh bourhood were arranged on each side of the carriage drive, producing a very pleasing effect. The boys and girls from the Blue-coat School at 'Hertford occupied a prominent position. The Hatfield troop of South Ilerts Yeomanry, commanded by the Marquis of Salisbury, escorted the Royal party to Hatfield, where they were relieved by the B troop, tinder the command of Earl Cowper. Another portion of the same troop formed a guard of honour in the park. Her Majesty a nd his Royal Highness Prince Albert reached Panshanger two o'clock precisely, the hour at which their arrival was announced, accompanied by Cols. Berkeley and Boiiverie, the equerries in waiting, the Marquis of Headfort, Lady Lyttelton, the Honourable Miss Chandos, &c., and was received with every demonstration of loyalty and respectful attachment. The party honoured by invitations to meet her Majesty comprised the Duke and Duchess of Sutherland, Lord and Lady Clanricarde (who arrived at Panshanger on 'Wednesday evening), Lord and Lady Palmerston, Lord and Lady Duncannon, Viscount Melbourne, &c. &. After the arrival of the Royal cortege the public were admitted to the railing of the terrace in front of the mansion, separating the pri vate pleasure grounds from the park; and her Majesty and her Royal consort, after partaking of a luncheon, promenaded for some time upon the terrace, accompanied by their suite. Nothing could exceed the enthusiastic joy . displayed by the immense multitude at the oppor tunity, thus afforded them of evincing their attachment to their Sovereign ; the Anpiession made by the gracious manner in which her Majesty was pleased to receive the homage paid to her will long dwell in the hearts of, her subjects. The Royal party rroceed on Friday (this day) to Brocket-hall, the seat of Lord Melbourne, returning to Panshanger to dinner, and remaining there until • Saturday morning, when they leave for town. The ad dress from the inhabitants of Hertford will be presented at Panshanger to-morrow, and extensive preparations are making in that town for the reception of the Sove reign,. whose early hours have induced a belief that it is probable it may be honoured with the Royal presence previous to leaving Panshanger for Broeltet-hall. THE BLUE-COAT SCHOOL. As her Majesty was expected to visit this establishment, at Hertford yesterday, the following account of the Insti tution may be interesting : The Blue-coat School stands la the eastern extremity of the town of Hertford, on the north side of Fore street, and consists of three sides of a quadrangle, with the addition of a square building erected, so recently as 1800, at the north-west angle of the original edifice, con taining a hall of the length of 100, and of the breadth of 40 feet. Besides these buildings there is a very lofty and airy infirmary, capable of containing a large propor tion of the children of this establishment. This noble building was erected by the Governors of Christ's Hospital, in London, on the foundation of King Edward VI., for the reception of the younger children of that establishment. rhi s , therefore, being a branch of the great parent instit u ti o n in London, we cannot avoid speaking briefly of the latter, in order to convey a clear idea of the regulations by which this institution in Hertford is conducted. The whole establishment origi nally consisted of 340 children, but the number, however, continuing to increase with the revenues of the establish ment, the Governors erected this school, by the voluntary contributions of high benefactors, in addition to their own, as well as another institution at Broxbourn. The entire establishment, Hertford School included, is at pre sent capable of containing 1136 children, including 80 girls. According to a rule established in 1809, boys are ad mitted from seven to ten years of age, and are discharged at the age of fifteen years, with the exception of those who enter the sea service or go college. The complement of children at Hertford Blue-coat School is 416, who are drafted, in general, at the age of twelve years to th e pa ren t establishment in London. They are governed by their master in the schools , by the steward and matroness in the refectory, and by their nurses in the dormitories, and committees are consti tuted to examine the performances, and to report the neglects and defaults of these officers. The qualifications which are to fit them for higher stations in life are sedu lously attended to. Reading, writing, and arithmetic are of course the fundamental subjects of study. But beyond these the refinements of classical learning are made to imbue the minds of the young Blue-coat scholars, with those better and superior views, whi,ch are further heightened and adorned in the end by acquisitions in Hebrew, mathematics, and draining. - The number of boys who attain the last stage of the ordinary classical education is about sixty. Out of which the scholars are chosen for exhibition by the head-master, without the interference of the governors of the Institution, of which there are seven at Cambridge and one at Oxford. In London there are four classical masters, two ushers, a mathematical, drawing, and sinning master. At Hertford School there are a clas sical master, 'writing master, two ushers, and two mis tresses to the girls' school. At each place there is equally a matron ; there are six beadles in London, and two in this place ; thirteen nurses in London, and nine at this place ; besides that most necessary of all comfortable ap pendages, a cook at each place. To Hertford Blue-coat School there are also attached a physician, surgeon, and an apothecary, who is, how ever, resident in London. Thr government of this princely foundation is vested in the Corporation of the City of London, and noblemen and gentlemen of all ranks, who contribute 4001. to the support of this establishment. Twenty governors in two years are chosen in rotation by the other governors, and every alderman, at the first biennial nomination after he conies into the office of alderman, is allowed to name a governor, which governor is to be a benefactor of 2001. There is a president at the head of the charity, who is elected from the aldermen of the City of London by the body of the governors, for life, or so long as he continues an alderman, unless lie happened to be a governor by benefaction or otherwise before he was an alderman. ATIMMENNIMMIMMIMII The Breslau Gazette reports the following ex traordinary cure, performed lately at Grcefenberg :—A person, aged forty-eight, who had been in the Austrian civil service, was brought, from the loss of his wife and children, and other afflictions, into an almost hopeless state of nervous fever. Ever other remedy having been tried in vain, he went to Greenberg, to place himself under the treatment of M. Preissnitz. He had an almost unconquerable aversion to cold water ; but without first consulting M. Preissnitz, he was induced one day, when the thermometer :was at 24 degrees of Reaumur (86 Fahrenheit), to take a cold bath. This brought on an inflammation of the brain, and the sufferer became so violent that it required six men to hold him. In this state M. de Preissnitz adopted the following system: — Though perfectly delirious, he was bathed in the river for 15 minutes, and then carried by main force in a raving state to a bath, the water of which was at a temperature of 12 degrees R. (56 F.), and there detained nine hours, from one in the day to ten at night, M. Preissnitz re mainint, with hint, all the time, and - keepinir his head constantly cooled ith water at 7: 1 2 - R. (48 e.) At tin end of this period the cold f►t c ame on, and violent tion came out over tilt shivering ensued. In this state the patient was carried to his bed, where he fell into a tranquil sleep, which n a A t e n r m e i r n u a p t in lasted till next morning. On waking, his senses were ed pustules, which dis charged humours, and contributed to restore him to a state of convalescence. The treatment was applied in presence of au English, a Swedish, and an Austrian perfectlywh ol whole o f his ree voedr;,d; physician, all of whom declared the cure miraculous. On the same day, M. Preissnitz, by the same means, cured his own daughter, a child, of a nervous fever, and aext dad► a b l vas Been.plaling on the public promenade. BATT V. ANNS. The LORD CHANCELLOR gave judgment to-day in this case, referring it to the Master to inquire what was the amount of the personal property of the testator received by the defonlant after the payment of his debts. TELLOCK v. HARTLEY. The bill in this case was filed for the reconveyance of an estate in Jamaica, for an account of the profits of that estate, and also for a declaration of the right of the plain tiff to the compensation awarded for 284 slaves that were upon the property. The plaintiffs were certain an nuitants and legatees, under the will of a lady named Simpson, and the defendant, John Simpson, was the eldest son and heir-at-law of that lady, and trus tee and executor under her will. John Simp son was for thirty years manager of the estates, and about the year 1823, he having in him the legal estate in the property in question, he executed a mortgage on some proporty of his own which was suffi ciently general to comprise the present property. The material defendants, besides Mr. Simpson were Messrs. Hartley and Cliffe, who for more than thirty years were the consipees of all the property in the West Indies belonging to Mr. Simpson, and being creditors of John Simpson to the extent of 90,0001.. They took from him a conveyance of all his property in the West Indies, together with his estates in the country, and under that conveyance they contended they were entitled to the es tate in question.• Under these circumstances the present bill was filed. PALACE CQ6 7 IIT, July 30. turn` soli e. PAUL. This was an action brought to recover a sum of money alleged to be due for three quarters of a year's rent for some stables. The defendant paid one quarter's rent into Court, alleging that that was all that was due, and produced a receipt for the previous (planer's rent, signed by a man named Peach, who was in the employ of the plaintiff. It appeared, however, that .Reach was entirely ignorant of the amount of rent due, but had received the money from Mr. Paul, who brought it to Mr. Robinson's shop, for whom he worked as a cabinet-maker. The de fendant was unable to produce any other receipts, as ho stated that he always destroyed all receipts except the last. The Jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff.—Da mages, 61. 15s. BOW-STREET. Emma Russell was placed before Mr. Twyford, charged by John Bryant under the following circumstances : It will be in the recollection of our readers that the prisoner, a few weeks ago, preferred a charge against the complainant and two other men, for having removed property from her house in Castle-court, but Mr. Jar dine, before whom the case was heard, dismissed it, on the ground of its being a disputed right of property. The complainant now charged the prisoner with having removed several boxes of his property from his house in Little Duke-street, during the time he remained in pri son awaiting the issue of the former charge, and called a witness who had removed the boxes at the direction of the prisoner. Mr. TWYFOUD said he viewed the case in the same light as Mr. Jardine had done, although he thought there was great suspicion and dishonesty on both sides, but as yet there was no felony made out, and he should, therefore, discharge the prisoner. MARYLEBONE. On Thursday Eli:abeth Maxwell was placed at the bar for final examination, on the charge of having attempted to murder her husband, James Maxwell, by plunging into his back a dessert knife. A few particulars connected with the case have already appeared, and it will be remembered that at the first in vestigation, which was gone into on the 12th inst., the sufferer was unable to attend in consequence of his being confined to liial3ed in Middlesex Hospital, in which In stitution he remained for some time in so dangerous a condition as to render it doubtful if he would recover. Ever since the period of the first remand the prisoner had been in a very desponding state of mind, and on her being brought into the court yesterday burst into a flood of tears, at the same time covering her face with her hands. The wounded man, who still seemed to be suf fering very much from weakness, got up with some dif ficulty into the witness-box, when his wife looking stead fastly at him, and, on his turning towards her he appeared so much overpowered by his feelings as to be scarcely able to stand. The prosecutor, the driver of one of Hansom's patent cabs, on being sworn, stated with considerable reluctance the particulars of the case, and • with tears in his eyes, informed the Magistrate that he did not wish to press the charge. George Hunt, Gloucester-mews, deposed, that on the day in question, between one and two o'clock, he went home and found the prisoner sitting in his house crying ; he asked her what it was for, when she said, that for two hours she had been following her husband, who was in company of Mrs. Cooper. They were out eating and drinking together, and her (prisoner's) feelings were more than she could endure. Edmund Weller, one of the party at the public-house, said that he saw the prisoner look in at the parlour-door. She went away, and in a quarter of an hour afterwards she returned. She immediately quitted as before, and at the same moment prosecutor exclaimed " See what's the matter with my back." Witness told him he was stabbed, and drew from his back a white handled dessert knife ; he then led him to a surgeon's in the neighbour hood, and subsequently conveyed him in a cab to the hospital. Mrs. Cooper, the female previously alluded to, stated that, while sitting in the p arlour of the City of Here ford, she saw the door open ; one of the company said to Maxwell, " that's your wife,"" when he replied, " No, it's not, she wouldn't do such a thing as come after me." Soon after this she (witness) heard a voice exclaim— " Take that," and at the same instant the door, which had been opened by some one, shut to. Maxwell fell with his head across the table, saying to Weller, " Oh, take that out !" Weller then took from Maxwell's back a knife, and witness saw no mo re ; she was so much ter rified that she left the house. The surgeon from the hospital was examined, and his evidence went to allow that the wound' inflicted was of a very serious and alarming description. The prisoner was fully committed for trial. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE. The LORD MAYOR stated that he felt pleasure in mew tioning that he had received a Post-office order for two guineas, to be applied to the purposes expressed in the following letter : Halifax, Yorkshire, July 27, 1841. " My Lord,—Having seen in the newspapers of yes terday an account of the most cruel and detestable hoax of sending to a literary gentleman in great necessity a fictitious check for 201. signed ' W. Day,' and as I am, I believe, the only one of that name at all connected with literature, I have, from various circumstances which have recently occurred, every reason to believe that this hoax forms part of a disgraceful and systematic attempt made for some time past to bring my name into disre pute, in consequence of a threatened exposure on my part of some very disgraceful publishing transactions, which will be duly brought to light, and in the hopes that amongst literary men the inference might be that I was an author of so heartless a piece of villainy. " Will you therefore, my Lord, - through the medium of Mr. Hobler, jun., do me the favour to assure this lite rary gentleman, whoever he may be, of my deepest sym pathy for his situation, and my regret that the griev ances of (if not the real " Simon Pure " endeavoured to be implied) at least one of the name, will not allow him to contribute more than the enclosed Post-office order for two guineas towards alleviating a distressing position, augmented by the machinations of some contemptible individual. "I have the honour to be, my Lord, with the greatest respect, your Lordship's most obedient servant, " CHARLES WILLIAM DAY. • " To the Right Hon. the Lord Mayor." The Lorin Mayor. in handing the post-office letter to Mr. Hobler, jun., observed that the writer adopted a very honourable and decisive mode of proving that it was quite impossible 'to attribute to him the heartless and scandalous trick upon the unfortunate gentleman to whom the fictitious check had been transmitted, and whose condition of body and mind was described as most deplorable. A young woman of respectable appearance, who seemed totlabour under some affection of the head, was placed at the bar by a policeman, who stated that she leaped or tumbled from a boat into the Thames, and would most assuredly have been drowned if it had not been for the exertions of the waterman, who narrowly risked his own life to save hers. John Spooner stated that he was a waterman on the City side . of London-bridge. The young woman hired him to row her a short distance in the river. She ap peared to be unwell and uneasy, and he told her to keep steady, but she suddenly started over the side of the boat, and immediately sunk. It was with the greatest difficulty he saved her, on account of the tide and the craft, and was very near going over himself in the struggle to get hold of her, and if that had been the case they would in all human probability have been both .

SHERIFF'S COURT. SESSIONS-ROUSE, NEWINGTON—Jura 29. (Before Mr. Under-Sheriff Arsnorr.) THE SURREY ZOOLOGICAL GARDENS-BOYS V. CROSS. This was an action for trespass, the damages being laid at 100/. Mr. James, the barrister, said the plaintiff in the case was a gentleman of the name of Boys, belon g ing to the mercantile establishment of Messrs. Baring Brothers and Co., and the defendant was Mr. Cross, the proprietor of the Surrey Zoological Gardens, and the action was brought to recover, at the hands of a Jury-, compensation in damages for the injury done to the plaintiffs premises by the defendant, who, in his plea, admitted he was guilty of a nuisance. Mr. Boys was the occupier of a detached cottage, situated at No. 5, West-street, and within twenty or thirty yards of the Garden's. Of these premises he had an unexpired lease - of forty years, havmg already occupied them for nearly twenty years. ie men tioned this to show that instead of his going to, the nuisance came to him. The ' nuisance complained of was occasioned by Mr. Cross in the exertions which he made to amuse the public, Latterly Mr. Cross had thought proper to , extend the amusements of his exhibition by adding the eruption of Mount Vesuvius, the novelty of which nightly brought some 12,000 or 16,000 persons to the gardens for the purpose of witnessing the display of fireworks. About eleven o'clock at night this exhibition took place. Amongst the discharges were a description of fireworks called maroons, and wl.ich he believed were discharged from mortars. These were filled with gunpowder and other dangerous substances, and as they fell into the plaintiffs garden in an ignited state, he was nightly ap prehensive of having his house set on fire. This was not all, for large rocket sticks (some of which were nix feet long, fell into his grounds, and if any of the family ven tured there they stood the chance of being transfixed by them. Mr. Boys being anxious to be upon good terms with Mr. Cross, had repeatedly remonstrated with him, but to no purpose ' • and finding the nuisance not abated he had offered to let Mr. Cross have his premises, find ing it impossible to live in them with any degree of com fort, although Mr. Boys was only paying a ground rent of 10/. a year ; the place before the wild beasts and Ye auvius came there was worth 701. a year, whereas now it would not produce 501. a year, and that the lease was de preciated in value 3201. With these remarks he would call witnesses in support of the case. -- Mr. James Greenstreet, of the Stamp-office, stated that he was the occupier of No. 4, West-street. For-two years the "Eruption of Mount Vesuvius" took place, varying from two to four nights in each week during the season. Rockets were discharged. There was plenty of smoke, and a sulphurous smell, unpleasant and obnoxious. The rocket sticks which came down perpendicularly had broken the skylight. A hundred of them had fallen in his garden, all of them ignited, and some in a blaze. Misses C. and E. Humpleby, relatives of Mrs. Boys, gave evidence as to the constant state of alarm the family was in. Mr. C. Hoggart, auctioneer, proved the value of the premises previously to the introduction of the fireworks, and the depreciation since, which was upwards of 20/. a year. He very much doubted whether a purchaser could now be found for them. Mr. COWLING, on behalf of the defendant, said that notwithstanding the powerful and able address of Mr. James, he considered that this action might have been spared. Taking the statement of the plaintiff's wit nesses, the exhibition of the fireworks had gone on for four years. Was it not evident that, being tired of his property, he wanted Mr. Cross to purchase it, and because he declined doing so, he commenced the present action. No action had ever been brought against the proprietors of Vauxhall for a similar exhibition, and there it was midnight before it took place. It was only when the wind was high that the fragments of paper were carried into the plaintiff's ground, and over that element they had no control. From the pleadings the verdict must be for the plaintiff ; at the same time a farthing would be suffi cient. Under-Sheriff Annum explained the litirititilitrens(r. ,- ,,r t to the Jury. After consulting together for some minutes, the Jury found for the plaintiff—Damages 30/. O'CONNELL THE LIBERATOR, AND THE AUTOCRAT OF RUSSIA. (From the Dublin Pilot.) An application was lately made by a lady of high rank to Mr. O'Connell to obtain from him an autograph, in order to make part of a collection of the hand-writing of several " celebrated persons," intended for the Emperor of Russia. We have got a copy of the reply, dictated by Mr. O'Connell, and sent to the lady at his desire, by the gentleman who acts as his secretary. How this re fusal prostrates an emperor, and places a subject immea surably- above him ! The following is the copy : Merrion-square, Dublin, 16th June, 1841. • Madam,—l am diiected by Mr. O'Connell to ac knowledge the honour of your Ladyship's letter of the 12th instant, and to express his deep regret that he is unable to comply with the request of so distinguished a lady. " The fact (to use his own words) is, that the hideous cruelties of the present Emperor of tussia, perpetrated in Poland even upon women and children, have marked his character with a deeper shade of infamy than that :•hich stains the reputation of the Roman Nero ; whilst hi s . Satanic persecution of Catholic Christianity has re duced him beneath the level of the ancient Dioclesian. 44 M r . O'COnnell, therefore, cannot consent, by any act of his, how-ever slight, to appear to pay a compliment to so atrocious a monster." lie respectfuli trusts that you will not consider this refusal as a personal disrespect to your Ladyship, which it certainly is not intended to be. It is merely meant as the expression of his ex.eciation of a tyrant who has de served the hatred and contempt of the present genera tion, and whose name will be held in horrur by more impartial posterity. I have the honour to be, Madam, your Ladyship's most obedient servant, W. J. O'N. D.

The hen_ after some days sat down on her nest to hatch, and after sitting the usual period, walked out with the pig (she having, as she seemed to assume, hatched him), and she now goes about cluck, clucking, with her four-footed brood, and feeds him in the usual way a hen does her chickens.
