The Work which is now 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 keen either altogether overlooked, or treated with apathy, and almost in difference, by the of dinary practitioner. Te enter into the details of these affections, to point out their causes, and to mark the terrific consequences, social, moral, and physical, which are sire to follow from indulgence, in certain habits, would be entirely out of place in an advertisement. We have no hesitation, however, in saying thit 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 if 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 Patients are re quested to be as minute 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 11.," without which no notice whatever can be taken of their application ; and in all cases, the most inviolable secrecy may be relied on. N.B. Seven doors from Sobo-square. THE CORDIAL BALM of SYRIACUM is intended to relieve those persons who, by an immo derate indulgence of their passions, have ruined their constitu tion, or, on their way to the consummation of that deplorable state, are affected with any of those previous symptoms that betray its approach, as the various affections of the nervous sys tem, obstinate gleets, involuntary emissions, excesses, irregu arity, obstructions of certain evacuations, weakness, total im potency, barrenness, Ike. But the relief administered is not confined to these alone. The valetudinarian by birth, who has received from his parent: the inheritance of a diseased and un prolific frame; the delicate female, whom an immured and in active life, together with the immoderate use of tea and other weak and watery aliments, has, without any fault of hers, brought on all the calamitous symptoms of a consumptive habit, and is, without timely assistance, sinking into an un timely grave. Constitutions relaxed, weak, or decayed, in men or women, are under the immediate influence of this restorative. Old coughs, a;tlimas, and consumptive habits are soon relieved, and speedily cure.l. Poverty of blood and emaciated limbs will, ere long. meet the happiest change . the chill, watery fluid will oecome rich and balsamic, and the limbs be covered with flesh, firm and beautiful, It is remarkable for its efficacy in all dis orders of the digestive organs, and is especially recommended to those who, from the irregularities of youthful age, habits of studious application, or a life of pleasure, have fallen into a despondent state of mind, and that distressing train of symp toms commonly denominated the nervous. In such persons the mental are not less enfeebled than the corporeal powers, and to them a remedy that acts with efficacy, without interfering with domestic habits, is peculiarly desirable.

Only one personal visit is required from a country patient, to enable Messrs.

That efficacious Medicine, theAselebrated PURIFYING SPECIFIC PILLS, Prepared by Messrs. Perry, price 2s. 9d., 4s. 6d. and 11g. per box, for the cure of Scurvy, Scrofula, and Lues Venerea. These invaluable Pills may be taken with the greatest secrecy ; they occasion no hindrance to business, loss of time, restraint of diet, and are the most safe, speedy, pleasant, and efficacious remedy ever discovered for the complete cure of these insidious and malignant diseases. A Treatise on Syphilitic Diseases is given with each box of PERRY'S PURIFYING SPECIFIC PILLS, containing a fall description of the above complaint, illustrated by En gravings, showing the different stages of this deplorable and often fata disease, as well as th e dreadful consequences arising from the use of mercury. The causes, symptoms, and baneful effects of Lues Venerea, Gonorrhoea, Strictures, Seminal Wea kness, &c., are explained in a familiar manner ; to which are added very extensive practical observations on sexual debility, brought on by a delusive habit; all its attendant sympathies considered, and the whole illustrated by striking cases, accom panied with full and explicit directions for an effectual and speedy cure, with ease, secresy, and safety, without the aid of medical assistance; it also contains many hints, and advice well worthknowing.

FROM THE DAILY PAPERS OF SATURDAY. ( From the Times.) Several journals have laboured very perseveringly for some time past to connect the Times with what they are pleased to call " Puseyism ;" and the fact of our having on Thursday last expressed a feel ng of regret that we had. formerly spoken in terms of einmerited harshness of the author of the Oxford Tracts, is declared to be " ominous," by a Contempotary, whose qualifications for deciding upon questions relating to the doctrine of the Church of England are tolerably notorious. Whene,,er we may he led (as must sometimes happen to ell journalists) to place too much confidence in plausible ex parte statements to the prejudice of any individual or body of men, we shall always be ready, upon all fitting opportunities, to express regret for having so done. But it is not to be sup posed that we, therefore, assume for the future an attitude of liartisanship on behalf of those individuals, or hold ourselves in any degree responsible for what they may do or say. Fair play and no favour is all that any man engaged in controversy can reasonably desire ; and it is all that we shall ever undertake to give. It is n our vccation to intermeddle in theological coutroversies ; the delicacy and the difficulty of handling them w,ll, the reverence due to the subjects of which they treat, the amount of leisure and research necessary to be bestowed upon them (not to allude to any higher considerations), are sufficient to repel us from the attempt. ( From the Morning Herald.) In addition to the violation of international law which has Leen committed by the Americans, in the detention of Colonel M'Leod as a criminal, for acts the responsibility of which our Government has formally taken on itself, of which the Ameri can authorities have had official notice, the very laws of Ame rica itself have been trampled upon by an armed mob, and a B. itish subject, regularly liberated upon bail, is now a close prisoner by virtue of a Lynch-taw decree. Such is democratic legality—such is republican justice ! No doubt the respectable b dy of Lynch-law gentlemen who assembled by sound of drum and bugle to exercise their " gentle powers of persua sion," in inducing the sureties of Colonel M'Leod to sur render their pi incipal on the moment of his liberation, used nothing but the softest blandishments of their pecu liar rhetoric to convince the bail of the propriety of entering into the requisite formalities to release the accused from prison only to return him thither instantly again. But was there no-. Fro geaticulation. a -no highly intelligible, though unspeaking action, ; corne.yed as clearly as any words could convey to ttfllletrriel of , that the decrees of L. nch-law were not' " to , be trifled with," while " tar and feathers" were to be had, or a little cord strong enough to be used as an instrument of sylvan justice on the bough of a neighbouring tree? Do we speak of imaginary things? Do we sketch a fanciful picture of the democratic manner of getting rid of the " formalities of justice" and the " law's delay" in the great Transatlantic Republic? Oh no. It only surprises us that we have not already had to record the "settlement of the complications" of the case of M'Leod, by giving an ac count of his judicial suspension amid the acclamations of the sovereign people, upon a branch of hickory. 'I he Lynch au thorities in the present instance have only donehalf their work by dividing the tragedy into two acts. Generally the prologue to such judicial dramas as theirs is followed so closely by the ca • tastrophe as to leave but brief space for intervening dialogue or incident. Take an example. Republican slavery and slave-breeding for the republican market are things too sacred to be touched by the impious advocates of humanity in a land impressed all over with the footsteps of " freedom," and where " lie who runs may read," placarded on every wall—engraven on every rock of the mountain—cut into the green turf on every val ley, and scratched upon the bark of every forest tree—the decla ration of the " 'natural equality and inalienable rights of man." A few years ago, however, some persons isllo believed with Sterne's philanthropist that " a negro might have a soul," and thought the aforesaid " inalienable rights of man" were violated in his person, ventured in some of the States of the Union to decry slavery and slave breeding as odious, un christian, and detestable. They exhorted their countrymen to get rid of the guilt and curse of a system that treats in nocent human beings as outcasts from all the rights of hu manity, consigning them to a community of degradation with " the beasts that perish." The mode a suppressing this " licentious" vindication of the outraged rights of nature, by the advocates of the inalienable rights of man, was summary and decisive. One of their own newspaper oracles thus proudly announced the prompt measures taken to silence the "'abolition ists" by the soveeeign people. It was in July, It 8:i, that the fol lowing paragraph appeared in a journal called the New Orleans American, and which we noticed in such terms as a just indignation furnished us with at the time, but.in none that were at all adequate to express the feelings of civilized men of its revolting atrocity. " A letter was received here on Satur day," says the American paper. "from Livingston, Missis sippi, stating that two itinerant abolition preachers had been I seized by th inhabitants, who, alter receiving proof that the wretches had endeavoured to create a revolt among the ne groes, and, after hearing their defence, caused them to ba hanged in the streets, together with seven negroes, who had listened to their doctrines." The American Journalist, who evidently considered the dastardly massacre which he had re corded as a highly commendable exploit, tacked the following passage to his narrative of blood :—" Warning is given to the abolitionists that they may expect similar treatment all over the south." (From the Morning Chronicle ) Though it might be dangerous to punish an officer merely because he contrived to be on bad terms with all who came in contact with him, the language used by Lord John Russell, in speaking of the Earl of Cardigan, went a great way beyond the occa.ion. His Lordship was pleased to say that if this in dividual had not been an Earl, they would have heard of no clamour against him. Does his Lordship wish us to believe that in this aristocratical country, in which the worship of titles is carried to an extent unknown in any other part of the world, the officers of a regiment would be more prone to quarrel with their Colonel bcause he was en Earl, than if he were a commoner? Where is the proof of this? There are many noblemen in the eummand of regiment., or d yet the Earl of Cardigan is the only Nobleman so circumstanced, as far as we have heard,. Who i 3 unpopular with 1.1. The Earl of Rosslyn, forinstance, is Lieutenant-Colonel of the 9th Light Dragoons. Has he quarrelled with his officers? Lord Charles Wellesley is Lieutenant-Colonel of the 15th Fo,t. Has he quarrelled with his officers? There is on the part of the people of this country somewhat of an indisposition towards men who have risen from a low to a high station ; but this is the first time we have heard of a disposition to construe the conduct of Noblemen less favourably than that of men of inferior station. In fact, it is matter of notoriety that much more will be borne from a Nobleman than from one of snore humble origin. But Lord John Russell and Lord Howiek, who defended the Earl of Cardigan, were then elves on trial. It might be unjust towards the Earl of Cardigan to drive him from his regiment, under the circumstances of the case. But who placed him in command of a regiment, after he was removed from the 15th in consequence of the sentence of a Court-martial stigmatising his conduct as ungentle manly? A man does not behave in an ungentlemanly man ner by accident. Once a gentleman and always a gentle man. There are instances of thieves becoming honest men, and the Duke of Wellington some' years ago mentioned a case of a sergeant who had run off with th money of hi= company, sentenced to be flogged, whose punishment he had remitted, and who had since risen to high rank in the army. Still, a shopkeeper who should trust a servant who had been detected robbing his till, or a banker a clerk who had run off with his money, would be in danger of a verdict of a Jury de priving them of the management of their affairs. A single ungentlemanly act is indicative of the idiosyncracy of the indi vidual. No mars who saw another patiently put up with a kick in the breech would think of inquiring whether the dis play of patience was accidental. The public have a right to complain of the Whig Government for restoring the Earl of Cardigan to a situation for which he was proved unfit lay the sentence of a Court-martial approved of by the Crown. (From the Globe.) The dissensions between Lord Cardigan and the officers of the El!venth Hussars, with the state of incffieiency into which that regiment has been brought by those dissensions, together with the injury they are ealcul tted to inflict on the character of the service ge nen:lly, were last night brought under discussion in the House of Commove. It was proper that they should be noticed in Parliament ; and the occasion selected was, of all others, the most appropriate. When called upon to vote a large sum from the general taxa tion of the country in order to provide its means of de fence, it would have been a dereliction of duty, a virtual abandonment of the high functions with which it is in vested by the Constitution, had the House of Commons passed over, as a matter of ordinary occurrence, as an affair a Itually insignificant in itselr, and in its probatle in fluence on the service, a state of thir.,, ,, s which, according to the recorded opinion of Sir J. Macdonal f, the Ad jutant-General, had reduce an entire regiment, maintained at a heavy charge on the country, to in efficiency, arising out of constantly-recurring disputes between the Colonel and the other officers • thus render ing it unfit to encounter an enemy, should the exigencies of the country require its services in the field, and a re preach to the service while at home. We, therefore, cannot sympathise with those Hon. Members who lilt " surprise" and "regret" that such a topic had bean in troduced into the discussion of the army estimates. We should have been much more surprised, and felt much deeper regret, had the occasion been suffered to pass over without alluding to the subject. The ground to Mr. Hume, by t a ww 111 1 , 1 . oo e Im a l y bt untenable. ne l‘ tme l. n r a . atbt l; e l er a . c w a a u ls l t a m y , may yn broughtb replying et rfuo e mard is, in our view, that there war no thing in any one of the numerous cases of dissatisfac tion and dissension which had occurred in the regi ment to call for a court-martial on Lord Cardigan; stil less for his being placed on belf-pay, which would have been construed into' an expression of h conductstrong Quarters of have required a distinct, tangible charge, founded on The former would an alleged violation of The Articles of War ; the latter would have been to degrade the half-pay list, by using it as a stigma. It would have been cowardly on the part of disapprobation command. from the Commander•in-Chief, as though he feared to abide the issue of an inquiry : it would also have been inju• rious to the service, as inflicting reproach and punishment upon an officer, w ithout a preliminary investigation. But there was another course, to which Mr. Ma caulay did not find it convenient to allude, but which appears to us the very proceeding which the disturbed and disorganized state of the regiment required should be taken. A con' tof inquiry should have been ap pointed—the investigation should have been compre hensive and searching. The whole of the Earl of Car digan's conduct in his command—whether at the bead of his regiment or presiding at its mess—his tone and bearing towards his officers in their private intercourse, as well as in directing their regimental duties—should have been subjected to the test which, though difficult to define, is perfectly understood by all whose educa tion and habits are those of gentlemen. (From the Standard.) The debate last night upon the Army Estimates ex hibited the Conservative patty in its proper position— and that proper position is always one of honour, always the ground of patriotism. Embroiled as the foreign relations of the country are—whether by an unhappy conjuncture, or by the misconduct of the Government, matters nothing—but embroiled as the foreign relations of the country are, it would be easy for an unprincipled Opposition to defeat any Ministry ; and if such an Opposition were to raise the cry of economy, there is too much reason to fear that that most mischievous and fallacious cant would still have influence to ensure them a popular support. We know how the Whigs have uniformly acted in such circumstances, and how in such circum stances a Whig opposition would act again. What is the conduct of the Conservative opposition ? Do they try to embarrass the measures of the Exa cta: ve in vindication of the national honour, and in snaking provision for the national safety ? No ; they are found the firm and sincere supporters of the Ministers, whenever tie Ministers 'are found doing their duty by the country—the supporters of Ministers a;ainst the most powerful section of the party that keep these Ministers in office—indeed, the only supporters upon whom in such cases the Ministers can confidently rely. But _it is said that the Conservatives support Ministers is maietaining the defensive ett iblishments, he cause they (the Conservatives) wish for war. Then it mud be confessed that they take a course for the grit fication of their . wish such as never Ras taken before for the like purpose ; hitherto it has been thought that preparation for war is the best guarantee of peace. But let the enemies of the empire be the witnesses, and tae, cxprsition of their sentiments affords the most unexceptionable testimony. Do they love the Conservatives? Do they take encouragement from the language of Conservative speakers and Conservative writers ? Oh no I. When they would excite rage against this nation they quote the words of the Whig Ministers and Whig journalists. (From the Courier.) The Irish Poor-law Bill is, it Aeeras,heing worked for the special uses of the O'Connell and Whig factions in Ireland, a fact which very justi i y-. called- down .the animadversions of the Duke of We liagton yesterday in the Lords, and, upon this case stated by Lords4Gloss.k. gall, was even admitted by Lord Normanby himself` to be an extremely irregular mode of construing the law. Grave as may, however, be the inculpation and tleorving of all reprobation the Poor-law Commissioners for Ireland, we are compelled to hold the offence as veniil in comparison with that scandalous course of cal culated fraud, pitiless oppression, and unmitigated des potism, by which the English Poor-law, from its first concoction, and through ail the phases of its adminis tration since, has bean rendered remarkably notori oug. Not one word however escapes their Lordships' House in condemnation of the abominable princi ples on which this unchristian law was constructed, or the kindred spirit in which carried out in England, although when the safety of a Tory vote in Ireland be comes jetpardised by the one-sided action of a Popish Poor-law partisan and valuator, great are the griefs and loud the denunciations about the party damage so surreptitiously inflicted. It is truly lamentable, and a • portentous cxemplifiation of the degeneracy of the times Atlas to find men of high repute, legislators of acknowledged eminence and desert in sill other regards, so painfully sensitive on tl:e lesser ill, whilst wilfully blind and neglectful of the progress of that great run ning sore which is fast spreading over the whole moral and physical face of once hale and happy Eng land, engendered by the ruthless application of the new Poor-!a - s blister, by which want is inflamed into the most cardinal of diseases, to be cured and killed only by swift deilAing regimen in those most pestiferous of gaols known as union workhouses. We might'; have holed that the Right Rev. the Bishop of London, so eloquent in his place about the scandal and indecency of bals masques and masquerades at Drury-lane, would have reserved some small measure of the ovetflawings of speech and sentiment for those other performances and enormities perpetrated in union prisons, details of which, so frequent and loathsome, have almost daily filled the columns of the press, bet in which the parts, instead of being cast among French opera artistes and prostitutes, are distributed among assistant Poor-law Commissioners, guardians, workhouse masters, and paupers, the last appearing in the double character of actors and victims. MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS. FROM TAR MORNING FAPERS OF SATURDAY. TIMES.—The fall of the " United States Bank naturally draws attention to the loans contracted last year in Europe by that institution, as they show the very great extent of liability recently entered into, and have been so quietly conducted in general as &most wholly to escape public notice. To meet its pressing engagements, then, at the period referred to, the Bank has received the following loans :—Two in London ; the first for 800,0001., of which half will fall due in April, 1841, and the remainder in April, 1842: and the second for 900,0001., payable in egnil sums in October, 1841, and October, 1842 ; also the Dutch loan for 700,00 W., redeemable • in 4; Th ese .. en Al n 6 d...:..+kc wrinnait. n mctively to 2,-100,0001., to which is to be added the 1,000,0001., of credits on the new agency recently established in Philadel phia ; all entered into within the space of about two years, and 'nearly the whole unfortunately derived from English capital, employed too, be it remembered, to save a part of the loss which otherwise must:have fallen upon the Americans them selves. It was a current remark in New York, when the large credits in London in favour of the United States Bank were made known, that they had served to realize for New York an equal amount of " suspended debt," and to throw the whole weight on England. Such a wreck of a great banking con cern has probably never before occurred. The $lOO shares, which used to be at 251. to 261. previous to the first suspension of specie payments, ate now quoted at 41. 10s., and that is almost a nominal quotation. It seems to be the nearly univer sal opinion that nothing is now left but a liquidation, and that the longer it is delayed the worse it will be for the creditors. CHRONICLE.—The continued depression in the funds has been produced by fears as to the result of the affair of 11PLeod and that of the Boundary question. The alarm has been sustained by a long preposterous article which appeared in a morning paper to-day, where war, and nothing else, is conjured up, and a demand made for an immediate increase in the army estimates. We have conversed with some of the best informed parties in the City, connected with America, on the affair of M'Leod, and certainly find no cause to apprehend any bad results.. The tenor of the private correspondence in dicates that the merchants of New York and Philadelphia are quite unaware of the excitement entertained upon the subject in this country, and it is almost, we may say, notorious that M‘Leod was not present at the destruction of the Caroline. It is also important to remember that General Harrison's inau guration as President took place yesterday, and that the charge of the proceedings against 11I'Leod is now in the hands of Mr. EV elrster, as Secretary of State. His moderate and en lightened views upon the subject of the Boundary question may be depended on, and when the trivial and contradictory evidence on which the Grand Jury found a true bill against M‘Leod comes under his consideration and that of Mr. Crit tenden, the new Attorney •General, they will, no doubt, see the propriety of quashing the proceedings. Much stress has been laid by the " bears" upon certain hostile resolutions said to have been passed by the Legislature of Maine, authorising the Governor of that State to remove the troops of the Queen of Great Britain now quartered on the territory called disputed by the British Government. On examining the authorities on which this threatening step is alleged to have) been taken:by the State of Maine, we aro inclined to think it is founded on a mis take altogether, and that the proposal of the resolutions in the Legislature of Maine has been held to be synonymous with their passing. The American papers say certainly that the Legislature of Maine had recently passed such resolutions, but they cicse the subject by stating that " the resolutions were referred to the Committee on the North-east Boundary ques tion." Had they passed the House, it is not easy to see cause for referring them to a Committee, and it is much more likely that they Lad been so disposed of upon • their being moved in the House, than that any such madlike and futile resolutions were adopted by the State of Maine. It is generally expected that the Legislature of Pennsylvania will legalize the suspension of specie payments by the Banks. A specific resolution, authorizing it for one year, that is to the 15th of February, 1842, had been moved in the House of Re presentatives by Mr. Hinchman, and leave given. POST.—There was some little pressure upon the Ex chequer Bill market to-day, the quotation receding to 6s. ets. prem. Otherwise, the public securities remained at much the same figures as at the close of business yesterday. The Money market has been disturbed in some degree since the beginning of the week by announcements of failures. Be sides the stoppage at Liverpool, to which we at the time alluded (that of Pritchard Brothers), involving liabilities to the amount of from 80,000/. to 100,00 W., one in the same branch of business, the drug and seed trade, has occurred here. The debts in this case de not, it is said, ex ceed 30,000/. to 40,0001., but much mischief has been done by the fa-lure, owing to the high opinion that had been enter tained of the circumstances of the party and the consequent un expectedness of the event. The difficulties of the house are under stood to have been brought on by the stoppage of Messrs. Garry and Curtis, to whom it had come under acceptance, in antici pation of some Riga produce that was to have been placed in its possession. By some, however, they are with more confi dence ascribed to a failure in the country. Yesterday it be came known that a house in the wholesale grocery line had been obliged to suspend its payments, and this, we have reason to believe, will prove a heavier matter than the preceding, the liabilities being pretty generally estimated at something ap. proaching 100,0001. The stoppnges of concerns of this description, which hive but little in the nature of speculative contingency belonging to them to excite distrust in the minds of bankers and others, will, if they continue, do more to destroy confidence than have done those of some of the larger establishments that have be come embarrassed through vicissitudes to which they are known to be at all times exposed. At the Louth Assizes a respectable young man, a farmer, named Patrick H.gan, was found guilty of the abduction of Miss Sarah Anne Weir, with intent to marry her. The young lady was entitled to some fortuce, and having been at a party at the house of tho prisoner, on her way home with her sister and brother-in-law, a party of men stopped the vehicle upon which they were driving, and carried Miss Weir off forcibly. The police found her out next day, and restored her to her friends. The Learned Judge Torrens, after dwelling upon the enormity of the prisoner's crime, directed th,t " Judgment of death" be recorded against him, subject to any commuta tion the Executive might think suitable.

The brig Amelia, of Sligo, laden with wheat, bound from Londin to Liverpool, Captain Swaine, was wrecked on the Herne Sand, off Reculver, on Friday last, between eight and nine at night, in a heavy squall of wind. As soon as she struck .she sunk ' • the Captain, his wife, and crew, in all nine sou l s , had harely time to jump out of their berths with their clothes and run up the rigging before there was four or five feet water over the brig's deck; no means were left to them to make any signal of distress, so that they resigned themselves to their fearful fate, I.shing themselves to the shrouds in the best way they could. In this state they remained until Saturday morn ing last, when Lieutenant Lake, of the Reculver Station Pre. veutive Service, discovered the brig on the Sand ; he forth with sent off his boat to her through a heavy sea to rescue such of the crew as might be found on the wreck ; after much difficulty, and no less danger, the brave fellows suc ceeded in making her, when an extra man on the Reculver station under Lieutenant Lake's command, who was one of the boat's crew, sprang at the shrouds, which he bag pily caught, and forthwith set about rescuing the unfortu nate people, first directing his attention to the hapless female, who, much to his astonishment, refused his services until her husband, the Captain, was first placed in safety ; they were both lashed to the shrouds close to each other. This -are fellow, whose name deserves honourable mention, was Robert Wood, of Whitstable : ho then undid the lashings of b (Captain, who bat -become so exhausted as scarcely to be eOrtsciotss of what was going on, and eventually got him safely into the boat. He then again returned to the captain's wife, who asked him how many his boat wouletake. He answered four. " Then," said this heroic woman, " take two of the crew next, and when they are in the boat unlash me, and I will make the fourth." This was accordingly done, and they left the wreck, and landed the unfortunate people at Reculver ; when Lieut. Lake, with a humanity highly honourable to him took the Captain and his wife to his quarters, where he did, everything in his power for their comfort. He gave up his bed to them, and, in fact, did everything humanity could sug gest to soften the rigours of their misfortune.

SACRED HARMONIC SOCIETY, EXETER HALL. Handel's Israel in Egypt, next to the Messiah, his greatest work, was on Friday night performed by this society to a full audience. So attractive was it, probably in conjunction with the influence of the season, that the number of applicants for the gallery tickets became quite redundant, and it was thought necessary to accommodate the overflow by making a considerable accession to the seats usually reserved on the area of the hall Perhaps, for singular choral power and expression, the Israel in Egypt might be considered pre eminent in musical composition. The choruses of the plagues are awful and unique. They are as pictures in the poetry of sound, at once appalling and wondrous. Once heard they cannot be forgotten. It is but necessary to recal their opening words—" They loathed, to drink of the river"—" Their land brought forth frogs"—" Ile spako the word, and there came all manner 4 .f flies"—" He gave them hailstones"— " He set a thick darkness," and " He smote all the first. born of Egypt." To the deep and most appropriate character of these outpourings of sublime song, the succeeding and exquisitely melodious and tender, " But as for his people, he led them forth like sheep," offers a contrast not to be sur passed in touching effect. The great double chorusses through out this oratorio are all in the master's highest vigour of inspi ration. They were most ardently encored in more than one instance. The performance of them was, upon the whole, most commendable. The solo and duet parts, on this occasion, were sustained by Madame Caradori Allan (whose non-arrival until after her appointed hour, and the conse quent delay iii commencing the second part of the oratorio, caused considerable disapprobation). Madame F. Lablache, Miss Pennington, Messrs. Hobbs, Machin, and Leffler. Ma: dame F. Lablache received a warm encore in the air " Thou shalt bring them in." Mr. Hobbs was also deservedly ap plauded for his delicate execution 'of the air " The enemy said." We should say, however, that there was a want of energetic spirit, of tine dramatic expression, in the efforts of all these singers. They did not, they do not in general, sym pathise with the great action in which they are supposed to take a prominent part—they are tame and frequently vapid after the zealous thunders of the " 500" behind them. This is the very vice of our school. Mr. Surman, " conductor," should look to it.

The accounts received from this quarter are destitute of news or interest, excepting that by the latest advices from Rio Grande it was learned that Gen. Andrea had been superseded in the command of the Govern. ment forces by Senhor Alvares Machado, and that, conse quently, ah hopes of the rebels accepting the proferred amnesty had vanished, and it was the general opinion that the province must be conquered in order to reduce it to subjection.

The trial of Captain Douglas, the second of Lord Cardigan, in the duel with Captain Tuckett, has had a similar result at the Central Criminal Court, to that of the Noble Earl in the House of Peers. Oa this occasion, it may be said, the singular circum stance presented itself of the Judge being counsel both for the prosecution and the prisoner, but not improperly so in either case. We must mention the circumstance only as a very remarkable one. This is only the second trial that has ever taken place for the slatutable offence of malicious shooting at the person with intent, &c., in a duel. Lord Cardigan's having been the . fiest, and both have failed, not in con sequence of any doubt thrown upon the sufficiency of the law to punish the offence as le/ong, but because of defective cvidence. A beginning having been made in prosecutions under this statute, nobody hereafter can plead ignorance of the felonious nature of the act committed by fighting a duel, even though neither death nor wound should ensue. It was natural enough that among persons not much acquainted with the laws of their country, an opinion should long have prevailed that a duel, unless it ended in death, was no higher offence than merely a breach of the peace. The circumstance of no person ever having been prosecuted except for homicide connected with a duel, as iu the cases of Bailey, Scott, Hennesey, mblia, and others, did creme the popular error that there was no law or statute against duelling (except as a breach of the peace), unless when death was the con sequence. And then the act came under the general law of murder, which it required no statute to punish, because it is pnnishalle by the unwritten or common lsw—the indictment for murder not being framed ac cording to any statute, but conformAly with ancient precedent, varying only in the statement of the circutn stances which are descriptive of the offence. During the controversy which we bad with some daily journals respecting the acquittal of the Earl of Cardigan, we explained the law of the Cass , divesting the question as much as possible of the technical lan guage, in order to make it clear to the popular year of We showed that at any time since the (4 ninth ueen Victoria, any 1., down to the first year o f any person who unlawfully discharged a pistol or any r to was liable t o be loaded arms at another, with intent disfigure, or do grievous bodilyl wrni murder, maim, disfigure, indicted for felony, and, if convicted, hanged.

Still the prosecutors treated it as a bloodless duel in law, by not alleging the :cootid in the indictment. This was done to avoid charging the parties with a capital offence. For if the charge had been shooting and wounding with intend to murder, it wou ld h ave put L or d Cardigan and his second on trial for their lives, that offence being still capital under Lord J. Russell's Act.—lierald.
