The book, as has been already stated, is the result of very ample and daily increasing experience in a class of diseases, which, for some unaccountable reason, have been either altogether overlooked, or treated almost with indiffer ence, by the ordinary medical practitioner. The proverbial and well known rapacity of unqualified practitioners, who traffic on the health and credulity of patients, has been en couraged and aroused by this supineness, on the part of the regular surgeon. In order to obviate the pernicious effects sure to result from the practices of such pretenders, the authors have for a considerable time devoted themselves ex clusively to a certain class of diseases; of the necessity of se doing, they were further convinced by feeling that tact in in vestigating the latent sources of many diseasee, which arise from certain secret practices, can only be acquired by an ex clusive and undivided attention to this department of medical practice. The numberless instances daily occurring, whersin affections of the lunns, putting on all the outer appearances of consumption, which, however, when traced to their source, are found to result from certain baneful practices, fully proves that the principle of the division of labour, is nowhere more applicable than in medical practice. We feel no hesitation in saying that there is no member of society by v. horn the book will not be found useful, whether such person hold the relation of a Parent, a Preceptor, or a Clergyman. The PARENT, who beholds his beloved child pining away, and fast approaching to a premature grave, in conse quence of 'some disease, which, for want of careful investiga tion of its real cause, has been set down to the score of con sumption, will, en perusing this work, be astonished to find, that - in nine-tenths ,of the cases of young persons of both sexes, who perish '.of what is called pulmonary consumption, heart disease, tahes, &c., the sole and exclusive origin has been the indulgence in certain destructive habits practised by youth much more frequently than it is at all suspected. The PRECEPTOR, also, who holds (temporarily at least), the relation and responsibility of a parent, will, by perusing this work, be directed and very much assisted in investigating and detecting the too often con cealed practices so often introduced into schools, whereby the health and ultimately the lives of his pupils are sure to be com promised, unless the evil be arrested in proper time. He will here find a clue to guide him through the intricate mazes of this moral labyrinth, anal a standard whereby to judge, when Just published, price Ca, and sent free on receipt of a .Polt-otti delicacy of health should appear to attack any of his young Order for 4., _ce charges, what the real causes of such attack may be, and thus • MA NLY VIGOTIT-t: a Popular Inquiry , into he will be enabled to check the evil in its incipient state. the CONCEALED CAUS''S of its PREMATURE DE.

One-fifth of the ascertained profits of the five preceding ' yeari is divided between the policy-holders and shareholders ; thrie-fourths to the former, and one-fourth to the latter. The remaining four-fifths are set apart to enter into the average of the succeeding years, and thus to provide against unforeseen contingencies. The first division of profits took place on the 130% of May, 1840, when a reduction of 60 per Cent. was declared on.,the current annual premiums of all those policies entitled to parti cipation.

No sooner is a Medicine well established in public favour than a host of imitators arise, who, for the sake of gain, not only wrong the Proprietors of the genuine Medicine, but inflict a serious injury on the untvaty purchaser of their base counter feit trash. ' These observation s apply with increased effect to the Medicine which is now so well known as " PARR'S LIFE PILLS." This famous remedy has been established by undoubted proofs of its efficacy, and by a mass of evidence and testimonials which no other medicine ever yet called forth. These facts have had the effect of producing a very large sale —more than 11 - ?,000 boxes per week. When this large sale came to the knowledge of some unprincipled persons, they, for the sake of gain to themselves, and reckless of the injury it may do to others, attempted to foist-on the incautious various imitations, supported by statements whichexhibit the most .un blushing effrontery. In order that purchasers may be able to tie tect i hese frauds, care must be taken to look at,the Government Stamp pasted round each box, and be sure it has the words " Parr's Life Pills," in white letters on a red ground, engraved therein, and forms part of the stamp ; al.so that the name Qf "Mr. Edwards, 67, St. Paul's, London?' is printed, as Whole. sale Agent, on the directions wrapped round each box. Ask for " Parr's Life Pills," and inquire for the little book containing the Life of Old Parr, thirty-two pages, with engrav ings, also the numerous testimonials, which may be had gratis on application ()tall agents and respectable venders i throughout the United.

She had tried almost every kind of medicine, and had taken laudanum in large quantities, but n o thing afforded r e li e f. She heard of Parr's Pills about last Christmas, and as soon all she had taken about half a box she 'found herself completely wired, and was never afflicted in the slightest manner during the severe weather that followed, and is now better in health than she has ever been in her life.

Stk—l have been at the siege of Bolton ; for ' nothing but some such cause suggests itself as adequate to the phenomena. • And' is it not a siege ? not carried on perhaps by an enemy with in gun-shot, but by one . worki rig on a wider radius, and making his blockade by sea upon the means of life. Ma n y sights it has been my chance to see, and I think I know what is the minimum of help with which horse, ass, dog-, hog, or monkey can sus tam existence, and where it must go ont•for want of the appliances and means of living. But any thing like the squalid misery, the slow, mouldy, putrefying death by which the weak and the feeble of the working elesses are perishing here, it never befell my eyes 'to behold, nor my ima gination to conceive. And the creatures seem to have no idea of resisting, or even of repining. They sit down with Oriental submission, as Wit was God and not the landlords that. was laying his hand upon them. And when their honour- able repreSentatiVe in parliament gave descrip tion ,to their sufferings, " liar" was the best word applied to him by.the organs of the tyranny. Did you ever set eyes on a pennyworth of mut ton? Come here, and you shall see how rations Are served out under th e l an dl or d s ' s t a t e of siege. It might bait a rat-trap; though a well-fed rat would hardly risk his personalities for such a pittance, Pennyworths of mutton, and half-penny worths:tit bread cut off the loaf; are what the shop keepers , in Bolton deal out to the inhabitants of their Jerusalem. r saw a woman come for one half-penny -worth of bread, which was to be the dinner of herself and children twain; and when I reflected that of this transparent slice, the other half was gone' to. buy the landlords' sack, asto nishment possessed me at the endurance of that bearing ass the public, arid the extent to which :ignorance and divisions will prop the rich man's robbery. - I saw another mother of a family, who said she had not tasted meat tor many months ; and on one of the children being sent off to the butcher's for some of that strange luxury, she was disco vered making efforts to intercept the messenger. Her anxiety was , ' to instruct the boy .to bring back nothing but one pennyworth of bacon; there was a to-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow, for which she had conceived the idea of spinning out existence by means of the remainder of the fund. If you are curious in human misery, if you arc anxious to know what a shabby tyranny can i ig the rank and file to suffer, come at your leisure to the " leaguer" of Bolton, and see what the pc 071 e sleep upon, if they do sleep. Chopped dirt, the sweepings of a hen-house mingled with a proportion of sparrows' nests to show that men had heard of straw, would be the best represen tatives of what they huddle upon in corners and call it resting. And all this because Sir Having (ireedy votes in the House of Commons for clos ing honest trade as the means of doubling his rents. • I have not heard of any women in Bolton eat ing a child. They do not look eatable. Disease, either active or in waiting, is in their faces and in their limbs. A decent hyena would not take the trouble of " enticing theta into the woods and there devouring them." And this is .what the English and their families have come to, to keep their aristocracy in coach horses. The Minister meanwhile and his associates; are racking their tender " hearts" to find a re medy. As in O'Connell's celebrated story, of the horse, " Will they try corn?" They will try anything, except allow the sufferers to keep themselves; for that would interfere with the pans of those, who being.rich already, use their riches as the means of doubling them. by confis cation of the poor man's bread. There is danger in these schemes. Already people of all kinds are parodying the sentiment of the Italians, "Ad ogni uomo puzzica quest() harbor() dozninio;" which may be translated for English use,. -" Neither man .nor woman will endure this dynasty of clod-hoppers." It wants nothing but for the privates of the regiment to know what hurts them,. and to get rid (as they are .doing Last) of the various false lights thrown Out to induce the.th-to.runin everydirectiou-that, will preserve the evil ; and a quicker end than pleasant, may be put to mischiefs, which nobody would remove by an earlier application of the prudential Virtues. Yours, very sincerely, T. PERRONET THOMPSON. Bolton, Jan. 7, 1842. THE BOROUGH MAGISTRACY. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sra,—Our Thursday paper announced, and, I be lieve correctly, the uncalled-for addition of five new Magistrates to our Bench, whose only- recommenda tion for the office is their deep Tory feeling, and the probability that their power will be unscrupulously devoted to the furtherance of the Tory cause. These five partisan functionaries have been thrust upon this town, as elsewhere, unasked for and unde sired by the inhabitants, who might be presumed to Ise better acquainted with their own wants than the Rats at the Home-office or the renegades elsewhere. Never was there a case in which an addition to the Bench was less called for, or the new creation more insulting. The Bench was most amply filled by men of honour, probity, and respectability—who administered justice with the strictest impartiality, and gave univer sal satisfaction. These gentlemen were not exclusively Liberals, for it was the policy of the Whig party to be guided by principles of justice rather than of party ; but it was reserved for their bated successors to show the cloven hoof without a blush, and set up the asser tions of despotic power in opposition to the claims of justice and of reason. If the new creation of Magistrates has been made at the desire of the inhabitants, I conceive the Home Secretary to be • bound in honour to state who the parties were that asked for them, since I am not aware ave°:emedit of any public meeting having been held, or any resolu tion being brought forward in the Council on the subject.

On Saturday, at 'the meeting of the Marylebone Ves try, Mr. Soden in theehair, another numerous 'deputation of the inhabitants of . Oxford-street, headed by Messrs. Underwood, Belli 'Jackson, and Oreen,: waited upon the Vestry for the purpose of p resen ti ng a memor i a l , s i g n ed by fifty-eight inhabitants of Oxford-street. resident in that part where the wood paving is already laid down, detailing at considerable length the advanta g es which had not merely acc ru ed t o th emse l ves i n their business. but to the public generally, since its introduction ; and praying the Vestry, in addition to non-confirming the minute for postponing the, further consideration of the question of wood paving for three years 'to give their neighbours, the inh a bit an t s o f the remainder of Oxford street, the same advantages as themselves. , Mr. BELL, in support of the memorial, said, out of the whole . number of , inhabitants in that part of Oxford street where the wood paving was.laid down that he had called on, there were but six who had not signed the memorial, and that arose simply from their being either at. the time from home or out of town. Messrs. GREEN and Ustntftwoon having also offered a few observations insupport of it, the . deputation with drew. Mr.,JosEpu then rose to move the non-confirmation of the minutes. He shouldnot dwell long upon the matter himself, although it was understood it was the intention of those who were opposed to wood-paiing to speak against time, in order to tire persons out, • and thus gain a majority for the confirmation of the minute.-'—(Hear, hear, and cries of " No.") He would simply show the board why they ought not to confirm a minute, having for its, object the prevention of the further progress of wood-paving for thr years. .In the first pl ace , such a resolution was n o t o upon the face of it absurd, but 4 for a fluctuatin g b oar like that vestry to make a retro . spective:resolutio n which was to be binding for three years, was absolutely illegal.—(Hear, and" Oh.") What was the fact ? Week after 'week, and year after year, the vestry had had deputation upon deputation, praying them to carry out the wood-paving in Oxford -street, and, singu lar to relate, throughout the whole of that immense pa rish they had not had a single rate-payer come up in op position.—(Cheers, and " Oh.") If such a resolution as that proposed were that day confirmed, he (Mr. Joseph) would predict ; that before half the period of three years had expired public opinion would force that which the Vestry now denied. Wood-paving, as a principle, was progres sing day after, day and week after week, slowly, but surely, 'throughout the metropolis and the large provin cial towns of the country, and the experiment in Oxforcl street still existed in testimony of the entire falsehoods of the arguments set up against it by its opponents.--:-(Hear, hear.) ' With these reasons he would move that the mi nute be non-confirmed. Mr. FREEMAN seconded the non-confirmation. Mr. littas supported the confirmation of the minute. One argument why the Vestry of St. Marylebone should not consent to such an outlay as the introduction of wood into Oxford-street calls for, was, that it was notorious that whilst the south side of Oxford-street costs the pa rish of St. Marylebone, to keep it in repair, upwards of 2,0001 per annum, still the inhabitants only contributed a moiety of that sum ; and that Vestry, in'addition to hav ing lost already upwards of 20,0001. by having their acquaintance, would, if the wood paving were carried out, lose an additional six or seven hundred pounds an nually.—(Cries of " No, no," and " hear.") They were a perfect incubus upon Marylebone ; and unless they came forward to pay their scot and lot with the in habitants of the north side of Oxford -street, he did not see why that Vestry should incur expense for their plea sure and indulgence. Such a proceeding to gratify about 200 persons would be a perfect robbery on the remaining 13,800 ratepayers.—(" Oh, oh," and ` Hear, hear.") He Understood it had been asserted in his absence on Satur day last, that the reason why he was so strong an oppo nent of wood-paving was because he had been foiled in his wishes to purchase the patent of the Count De Lisle. —(Loud cries of " Hear, hear," and laughter.) Gen lemen in making such an assertion had given him credit. for a great deal more capital and much less capacity than he possessed.—(lronical cheers and laughter.) He should like to know where the gentleman who made such a statement got his infOrmation.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. FREEMAN—From Mr. Claridge and Mr. Hodson. of Salisbury-street, Strand.—(Cries of " Oh, and chair.") Mr. BIERS denied the truth of the statement, but ad mitted that he had been asked to be a shareholder and to advance 5001.—(Great laughter.) He was of the same opinion then as now, and would therefore have nothing to do with the matter.—(" Oh," and cheers.) Mr. FltrinEaT at great length followed on the same side, and reiterated the arguments he adduced on the previously Saturday in opposition•to wood pavement and i A favoitr of granite. He produced also some fresh blocks 'of wood from Oxford-street ; those from the centre being 51 inches, and on the sides 51; inches, the original size being six inches when laid down. This, he 'confpnded;littitttbrord paring a faihwe, Wasp:melt .as the projectors declared it would not wear away half an inch i in ten years, whereas it had worn away to that extent in a year and a half. Mr. GIBSON very warmly supported the non-confirma tion. He contended it did not matter whether the wood was a failure or not to that Vestry, as under the terms proposed the responsibility would rest entirely with the Company, and not with them. All the cry raised by the opponents of wood paving was fallacious. They pr. tended so much about the interests of the 13 1 8,0' o . other ., rate-payers, whilst, at the same time, they -..,,...._ their pockets.—(Loud cries of " Orde" ' ~- „" ew .P i c,king •. 1 Chair ! ' and 7 , nintained his position, some confusion.) Mr. Gibson,. for it was proved that the 7:nod paving, let alone the saving in the cleansing, could be had for Id. per yard cheaper than the preaCint Macadamized road, and yet the Vestry refused to eirry it out.—(H ear , an d " Oh l' ) Lord NUGEN T ridiculed the id ea o f carry i ng o ut such a motion as that proposed, and declared that if it were confirmed the - Vestry would be completely stultifying themselves in the eyes of the public. Mr. HUME was as fond of innovation as any man, but he liked to have some proof that such innovation was good. In this instance he thought tliere was not sufficient to justify the Vestry in an outlay of some thousands of pounds upon a material the durability of which had not been properly and flikrix tested. Mr. GL.A.zrEat. (amidst loud cries of " Question " and " Chair"? sp!ia the argument of Mr. Hume refuted itself. —(" Oh, ' and " Hear.") There was not only no outlay whatever, ', but the parish, if the wood paving were adorited, would gain from 500/ to 7001. per year. Mr. FOSTER, at great length, entered into a disquisi tion on the perishable nature of wood, subject to constant concussion as that must necessarily be which was placed in the portion of a road, and Mr. COCHRANE, in 'opposition, adduced the opinions of about twenty scientific men to prove that concussion and traction preserved rather than added to the decay of wood. Messrs. Thomas, Clapp, Grange, and other vestrymen also addressed the Vestry on the subject, when • Mr. JOSEPH, in reply, said he was compelled to refer to the unfair and strenuous endeavours of the opponents of wood paving throughout the debate ; to keep votes who were favourable to them the vestry-room door was perfectly besieged, and vestrymen almost prevented from going out, unless they could pair off with some one.— (Hear, hear.)' He had always considered the Hon. Gen tleman, Mr. Hume; a friend to popular representation. —(Hear, hear, from Mr. Hume.) Well, then, here wore 400 ratepayers asking for that which would be a benefit to the parish and th e pu bli c at large, and with out .a single voice of a ratepayer, excepting a certai n .• parts in that Vestry, against it ; and he would ask, ought they to be refused ?—(Cries of " No, no," and " Yes, yes.") The cost of Oxford-street for the last year, 1841, had been 3,0201., and if the wood paving had been carried out, it would 'not approach anything like that sum. He therefore hoped that the Vestry Would not confirm a minute which would shackle them t'tir a space of three year. Thequestion.wt.t.'s w here put, amidst a great degree of confusion, from the Chair, and the non-confirmation of the minute declared by the Chairman to be carried. • • Cries of " Divide, divide," were heard in every quar ter ; and, on the Chairman' granting a division, the fol lowing most extraordinary and disorieefal 'scene .'en siled. A vestryman. advanced in years; happened to hold up his hand in favour of the non-confirmation of this mi nute, for the adoption of which he had voted on the pre vious Saturday. .As the diviion was taking plac e thi s poor old vestrym en was pounced upon, in the first place, by one ‘of the anti-wood paviors, named Hawkins, and, with the: assistance of Mr. Thomas, the barrister, and one or two others, he was literally being dragged from his seat, on the " wood-paving-side," to the opposite side of the vestrproom. In vain the Chairman called to order. Although . the . " row" had scarcely begun, Mr. Joseph, seeing " the position of the '• unfortunate vestryman, rushed from his seat at the bottoth of the table accompanied by Mr. Gomm and several on the same side of the question as himself, to his rescue. A general con flict now took place for the possession of the body o f th e undecided vestryman .—( Cries of " Shame, shame," re sounded from all parts of the vestry.) The Chairman's hammer performed its office to no purpose, and the rate payers who crowded the gallery gave vent to their dis approbation by hissing and hooting the whole affair. The Chairman ultimately succeeded in obtaining some degree of order, and the vestryman was called upon to decide for himself. He chose to be in favour of the wood paving, and Messrs. Biers and Joseph were appointed tellers ; and on the numbers being declared, there ap peared, the Chairman giving his vote in favour of non confirmation, for the non-confirmation .of the minute, 27 ; for the confirmation, 26 ;—Majority against the propo sition for postponing the continuation of wood-paving in Oxford-street for three years, One.—The vestry then, in great confusion, broke up, after another discussion of nearly four hours. HANOVER, DEc. 30.—The person arrested on suspicion of having committed the assault on Mr. Lutcken, was set at liberty on the 28th, as he persevered in denying the fact, and pretty satisfactorily proved an alibi, and as there was no ev id ence aga i nst hi m b ut t h at of the girl, which for many reasons was not thought deserving of implicit credit. LONDON AND BIRMINGHAM RAILWAY.--.-It appears, from the Railway Times of Saturday, that the shareholders of the London and Birmingham Railway- Company have recently presented to the Chairman, G. Carr Glyn, Esq., a piece of plate, of the value of upwards or sixteen hundred pounds, as a token,of their approba tion of the manner in which he has presided over the affairs of the railway during the last five years. FROM TFIT::. 2 ‘ I7 RN6IG.VAPERS OF SATURDAY. CHRONICLE.—The proposal made on-the part of the Mexican Goternment to equalize the rights of their creditors are, we believe, that the arrears for the year 39, sflroBmthe Ist of October, 1837, t o the lit of Oc tober,should be abandoned, as no revenue for customs was obtained during those years ; that the coupons from the Ist of October, 1839, to the Ist of October, 1841, should be postponed until paid off gra dually by the surplus expected out of the one-fifth part of the custom revenues to be assigned for the dividends, instead of one-sixth, and an additional allowance out of the custom-houses of the Pacific ; that those who received custom-house certificates for 1838 and 1839 should give up their coupons for 1842 and 1843, so as to place themselves on a foot ing of equality with those who have received nothing for the last four years, all current dividends to be paid after October, 1841. The appropriation of a specific portion of these revenues to . the dischar ge o f t h e i r obligations to the bondholders is creditable to Mexico ; but there appears to be no small degree of complexity in adjusting the claims of their creditors on an equit a bl e footing, accordi ng t o th e plan proposed. Some of their creditors received payment of two years' interest in exchange for eu4toinehouse certificates, and others did not avail thems•slves of that mode of payment; so that to the first there are two years due, and four years to the seco n d. T o equi li se t hi s difference, it is proposed that the econd c:ass should stand postponed for their two years' dividends to come, and on the other hand, that those who have got nothing at all should be contented with a postponed claim for their coupons during the last two years, and abandon all claim to the coupons of the years 1837 to 1839. Those who re ceived payment of their two years' interest in custom house certificates would still be better off this way, than the creditors to whom no payment has been made for four years, who are called upon to give up their claims for the coupons cf 1838 and '183',) altogether, and to take a distant and postponed claim for those of 1839 and 1841. Bat, then, to make up for these drawbacks they are to receive their dividends f0r•1842 and 1843, while those who received payment of .1838 and 18;19 are to be posponed, on the other hand, to abandon, we presume, their coupons for the two next years, io the same way as the others are asked to do for the last named. CAPTURE OF A SLAVE-SHIP. The following is an extract of a letter from a young gehtleman belonging to Ayshire, surgeon on board her Majesty's ship Acorn, dated St. Helena, Sept. 1,1841. " We sailed from Rio de Janeiro for St. Helena on the 6th of August, and arrived to-day, from whence we depart again on a six 'm on th s ' cru i se . In a former letter I think I mentioned our capturing the noted brigantine Gabriel, with her cargo of slaves. I have-it now in my power to apprise you of another capture which we made on the 17th of August last—viz., the Anna, with 500 slaves on board. "Apart from the satisfaction which the emancipation from slavery of such a great number of our fellow -creatures produces, it is g ratifying to thi n k th at we s h a ll have an additional 501. each of prize -money to receive for our trouble when we arrive at Devonport. "I was ordered aboard the Anna to take a list of the number of the captives, and to classify them under the following heads—viz., males, females, sick, and healthy. As soon as I set foot on her deck the tokens of the miser able condition of the poorcreatures met my eye in every quarter. Filth of all descriptions was strewed around the deck, and the stench arising therefrom was almost over powering. I have never encountered anything like the miasmatic and unwholesome vapours which arose from the dens where the slaves were huddled together, so close as scarcely to leave. breathing room. In the after-park of the vessel, called the cabin, a place measuring about 16 feet by 9, and which was allotted to the females, no fewer than 217 of these miserable beings were packed- When I looked down into the crowded mass, and saw the manner in which they were wedged together, it put me in mind of the celebrated black hole of Calcutta, una the miseries endured by the poor prisoners there on a particular occasion. To suppose that such 0t number of human beings could be squeezed into such o narrow space almost exceeds belief, but it was indeed the case. " The women and children wore ornaments composed of beads on the necks, wrists, and other parts of their( bodies. Several of the females in this style had Infant'', in their arms, which they tended and soothed wit'„ a maternal affection which was quite exemplary: consi dering their situation and the privations thev 'were com pelled to suffer ; indeed, few civilise 4 "mOthers could have done the same if placed in a 0 7..;i1ar situation. "In the forepart of the r°*;el. reaching from the mainmast to the forecastle about 300 m a l es were con fined. This part of t .".te vessel was called the gaol, and is about 50 feet iii length by 27 in breadth, the roof being about 3i feet in height. In this place, which was in a most,filthy and impure state, the above number of human beings were huddled together, without as much room as to lay themselves at length ; and forced to keep in a sitting position from the lowness of the deck above.. "In this situation they spent the days and nights tbP t were to give pl ace , not to freedom, but to the sly-ger-3r which the fi en d s, t h e i r masters, should find oppc to entail upon th em f or lif e. It struck me, her- .rtiMity their gener a l appearance, ever, in the 'ever, that able circumstances in which iliey were ire u nc tok ornf e ort ' be the gee atest con t entment , : some co ' Placed, cheerful and happy looking th em were even quite —at nine o'cloek morn;-- " . .i.bei• were fed twic e a c l a y afternoon. Their fun-' ag' and again at th ree o ' c l oc k beans, in which • in the morning consisted of b o il e d containing, little flour had been mi xe d. A vesse l them, - quantity of this stuff was p l ace d among P e,e _ed every one might eat as much as he pleas- The afernoon meal consisted of flour and warm water, mixed together in the form of a thin gruel, mhich was- also served ud libitum, with an allowance of two ounces of beef to each. The males, who were from four to twenty years of age, were what would b e called in th e rin.r.cet a svendid lot. The females, whose ages might run from three to twenty, with the exception of three infants, were all well-looking, and equally mark e t a bl e w i t h t h e men. Notwi thstanding their being cooped up in the manner described, only twenty-six out of the whole were reported sick. We ran the vessel and her human cargo into Rio de Janeiro, where the latter would be taken on board the slave ship there, and find good treatment. The Government allows Si. for each slave captured, and a certain sum per ton for the vessels, which, in many cases, are run ashore and cut up and sold. As they are generally good sea boats, the Admiralty occasionally purchase they for her Majesty's service. "The Bay of tit.. Helena, in which we have just now anchored, comes up close to the town. The island appears very barren; indeed, we can see nothing but precipitous masses of rock, rising almost perpendicularly from the sea. The heights are all ornamented with fortifications, and the rocks near the bay.are covered with batteries." STATE OF TRADE. FOREIGN WOOL TRADE, LEEDS, JAN. 7.—The demand for foreign wool this week bas been steady, but without any very great improvement having taken place in the trade. Prices remain firm. ENGLISH WOOL MARKET, LEEDS, JAN. 7.—The sales of English wool this week have not been extensive. Prices are without any alteration from the quotations of last week. WAKEFIELD WOOL MARKET, JAN. 7.---The demand for all kinds of long wool continues limited. Upon the whole there is rather more inquiry last week, and prices are firm, but not improved.—Clothing and Blanket wools are without alteration, either in demand or price. TRADE OF LEEDS.—It has generally happened in former seasons, that.at the commencement of a new year, there has been some improvement in the demand for goods. This is, however, far from being the case at present. The markets both on Saturday and Tuesday were as dull as the few weeks previous, and with very little prospect alloy material improvement. The stocks of goods are very low, but there is no inducement for the manufacturers to increase their operations, as it is impossible to get remunerating prices in the present state of the demand. Business is very dull in the ware houses, both buyers and sellers being engaged in taking stock.—Leeds MerculY• BRADFORD WOOL MARKET, JAN. 6.—Since our lass report we cannot learn that any material change has. taken place either in demand or prices. lhe deep staples wether fleeces, anti matching continue most in request. Colonial wools are still much neglected both in combing and clothing sorts. Yarn—The Inquiries for Yarns are rather on the increase, and perhaps on the whole quite as much done as . for several wee k s past, b ut w i thout any improvement in prices. Piece—We had a very numerous attendance at our first new market in the year, which is usually of a rather animated character. To-day has not been so much so as we could have wished, nor are the purchases made extensive, being in a great measure confined to fancy goods.—Bradford Observer. There is little alteration since our last. Four or lire houses connected with this market have failed within the last few days; but we believe the debts here are not. heavy. The demand for Shipping goods is over f o r th e spring, and we understand the manufacturers are pro ceeding very cautiously. Prices remain the same.— Leicestershire Mercury. HASTINGS UNION.—At the last sitting of Hastings Magistrates a man named James Cloake, late relieving officer of the No. 2 District of the Hastings Union, was charged with defrauding the Guardians of several sums of money, by withholding it from the pau pers and charging it in his account as paid. There were four charges against the defendant, rendering him liable to a penalty of 201. for each offence. It appeared from the evidence that the defendant had carried on an extensive system of depredation on the unfortunate paupers to whom he was directed to afford relief. The Guardians had selected four cases for prosecution out of a great num; ber which had been discovered, and evidence was takeff which left no doubt as to the prisoner's guilt. He bad nothing to say in answer to the charges, and the Magis trates, after censuring him severely for his conduct, con victed him in the full penalty of 201. on each charge, or three months' hard labour. The defendant, who said he had no means of paying the fine, was then committed to Lewes House of Correction for twelve months. _ - -- - - -- • ----- An inquest, adjourn e d f rom - Friday, the 31st the r i ver off thy!pTuebinlipcilte; ult., on the body of a man, 'name unknown, about thirty years of age, terminated on Friday at the Feathers,.
