The unavoidable consequence o f this is, that we meet a very considerable proportion of indifferent, useless, and even bad books.. With the force of this prejudice on our minds, we with. no little reluctance were induced to peruse Messrs. Curtis's work, entitled "Manhood ;" nor 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 praof of our assertion would be departing from the established rules of the daily press. The result, however, of our careful perusal of the work, has been to impress us with a thorough confidence in the talent and skill of the authors, and to satisfy us that those entrusted with the care of youth are not a little indebted to them for fur nishing them with a means of preventing some of the most frightful maladies to which flesh is heir.—Old England. Messrs. Curtis's work, entitled "Manhood," is one of the few books now coming before the public on such a subject which can lay claim to the character of being strictly professional; at the same time that it is fully intelligible to all who read it. The moral and medical precepts given in it, render it invalu able.—Magnet. The perusal of Messrs. Curtis's book entitled " Manhood," has really astonished us by developing 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 questionable tendency, made us ex • tremely reluctant to take up another. Having, however, been induced by the character given of this work by an intelligent friend, we ventured to open its pages, and now feel no hesita • tinn in saying that we arise from its perusal instructed !and edified.

DESPATCHES OF THE ENGAGEMENTS IN THE KHOORD CABOOL PASS. FORT WILLIAM, Nov. 27, 1841. SECRET DEPARTMENT. It appeared in evidence that the wife of •the prosecutor was in a pork-shop, making some purchases for the family, when the pri soner adroitly wined out her pocket and took away the money. The offence was clearly brought home to the prisoner, and the Jury found him Guilty. The CounT sentenced him to be-transsported for ten years. The prisoner Is a must dexterdus hand at robberies ot , this do. scriptiun. When he was arraigned on Saturday evening, he actu ally contrived to pick the pocket of the female turnkey of some money. She shortly a!terwards missed some of it, and wondered how she had lost it. Another prisoner subsequently gave informa tion of the prisoner having committed the rubbery. stealing some bacon.

By command of the Right Hon. the Governor-Geo. in Council, T. H. MADDOCK, Secretary to the Government of India. Mr. Cope informed the Court that both prisoners had been pre viously convicted of felony, but he had reason to believe that their positiin was such as to drive them to exist by plunder; the father of one of them had left his wife and was living with another woman, and had turned the boy out of doors to get his living as he was best able, and the other boy also had no home to go to or any one who took the least interest in his welfare. • FROM MAJOR-GEN. SIR ROBERT SALE, K.O 8., TO CAPTAIN GRANT, ASSISTANT-ADJUTANT-GENERAL , CABOOL. Dated Camp, Bootkhak, Oct. 12, 1841. Sir,—l have the honour to state to you, for the information of Major-General Elphinstone, C. 13., that the task of forcing the pass of Khoord Cabool, and defeating the rebels posted within it, has this morning been accomplished. After fully weighing the whole of the information brought to me at various periods in the course of yesterday, I came to the conclusion, that the main body of the insurgents was posted behind a breastwork, near the middle of the pass, and that they would defend it, as well as the almost inaccessible heights, on either flank of it. _ _ Tile RECORDER asked Mr. Cope whether the ,pfisoners would be received into the prison of Parkhurst ? Mr.'eOpe said they would take them in at that establishment if iViiitence of transportation passed . upon - them. 'The RECORDER said it was melancholy to see mere children like theprisoners placed in such a position, and the Court felt that the only hope left for them was to pass, in terms, a sentence of trans. portation upon them. The effect of that sentence, however, would not be to remove them from the country, but they would be placed in the establishment at Parkhurst, where they would have an opportunity of learning a trade and becoming useful mem bers of society, and it would only be in the event of their showing themselves to be incorrigible that the sentence would be fully carried out. My plan of attack was therefore arranged as follows :—I de termined to employ two hundred Juzailchees, under the well known Sirdar Jan Fishan Khan, to create a diversion by as saulting, in flank and rear, the precipitous ridge which forms the southern side of the urra, whilst the troops under my command entered its gorge, and attacked the enemy in front. The force left camp at, 6A. at. The advanced guard consisted of the two guns of foot artillery under Lieutenant Dawes, two companies of the 13th Light Infantry under Capt. Fenwick and Lieut. George King, the flank companies of the 35th Native Itifantty under Captain Younghusband, and a detach ment of pioneers under Captain Broadfoot, the whole being in charge of Captain Seaton, 35th regiment Native Infantry. The remainder of the 13th a n d 35th formed our main body. As we approached the insurgents' position, we found that all the reports of our spies had be e n su b s t an ti ve l y correct, but that the enemy were withdrawing from behind their breastwork in the valley, and occupying the rocky ridges of the mountains on either side. They opened upon us a well-directed fire, and at the very commencement of the affair I received a wound from a ball above the ankle, which ultimately compelled me to leave the field. Whilst I remained on it, however, I directed two companies of the 13tb, and one of the 35th, to ascend the precipices on either hand in face of the enemy ; and I must in justice to them mention the gallantry, activity, and persever • ance with which this duty was performed, and the enemy driven by our skirmishers from point to point of eminences almost perpendicular. When compelled to retire, I resigned the com mand into the hands of Lieut.-Colonel Dennie, C. 8., and have the pleasure to forward his report, detailing the further pro gress and completion of the affair. I beg to add, that whilst I remained at the head of the force, the conduct of both officers and men afforded me the highest satisfaction, and I am greatly pleased with the spirited and judicious manner in which Lieut.-Colonel Dennie brought the matter to a close. The prisoners were then sentenced to be, transported for seven years, but the Recorder instructed Y:2r. Cope to make a special note that the sentence was passed upon the express understanding that the prisoners should be sent to Parkhurst. Mr. Cope said that he would take care that the humane intention of the Court was carried into effect. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. . MANSION HOUSE. T A lad named Daniel- Donovan, was brought up charged with having picked the pocket of Mr. Ridley, a law student. Mr. Ridley begged to, be allowed to withdraw the accusation. Alderman Ginns--What is your reason for declining to prosecute ? - • Mr. Ridley—l have inquired about the lad, and find that he is not an experienced thief. I have been told that he is an industrious person, Indeed I told the policeman who took him into custody that I should not prosecute him. • Mr. HOBL ER—You ought not to halt been in so great a hurry to decline presecuting, for it happens that the prisoner is well known here as a thief, so that by re fusing to prosecute, you, do, the public wrong w i t h ou t rendering any benefit to the person who robbed you. Alderman GIBBS —No c doubt of it. Let the gentle man bo sworn. Mr. Ridley—l have an objection to be sworn. Alderman GIBBS—What is your objection ? Are you a Quaker ? Mr. Ridley—l am not a Quaker. I object because I consider that to swear is to commit a breach at 1" o f Alderman the tiimt GIB Bs tigherle i law which distinctly says " Swear not prisoner into custody should be sworn, and intimated that if .the po-. pnosliCem after policeman whoon s u liceman's evidence proved sufficient he sh ou ld not requ i re ctlotionMr. Nobl e r, di rected kg the that of Mr. Ridley. The policeman made his statement of the matter, but without the testimony of Mr.:Ridley, who actually de tected the prisoner in the act of stealing the pocket handkerchief, the evidence was extremely imperfect, and Alderman Ginns declared that the case must go on, as whatever the objections of Mr. Ridley might be to be sworn, the public were too much interested int the dis posal of the prisoner to admit of any compassion on ac count of the gentleman's disinclination to perform so ne cessary and serious a duty. • Mr. Ridley repeated his objections, and said that he had determined from the commencement not to prose cute, and had told the policeman that he had no inten tion of the kind. • Alderman GIBBS-YOu can serve nobody by such a course. This parson is known here as a bad charac ter. I shall ask him a , q uestion, however. Prisoner, was that your own .handkerchief which you had in your hand? Mind, you are 'Under .no obligation to answer me. Prisoner-4t was not my handkerchief, my Lord. Alderman-Glans (to Mr. - Ridley)—Now, Sir, I must call upon you to prosecute 'the 'prisoner. , You must go into the next room 'and be bound over in •the usual way.' Mr. Ridley' then went: - reluctantly into the adjoining room to be bound over by the Ward Clerk. The exertions of my Brigade Major, Captain Wade, and of Captain 1 - lavelock and Lieut. Airey, of Major-General Elphin stone's personal staff, who attached themselves to me as volun teers on this service, demand my amplest acknowledgments. 'I he last mentioned of these officers had a horse shot under him. I beg to forward the casualty return of the 13th : that of the Artillery, Sappers, and 35th N. I. shall follow. A memorandum of the ammunition expended is also annexed. I am thankful for the promised reinforcement of two guns; and if the 37th regiment N. I. can also be promptly sent out, it will relieve the troops from a part of very harassing out-post duty, in an exposed plain, in the vicinity of mountains. P.S. I ought not to have forgotten to mention, that Captain Bellew, Assistant Quarter-Master-General, who had previously, under General Elphinstone's instructions, reconnoitred the passes occupied by the enemy, accompanied me during my march from Cabool, and ably aided me, until the moment of my being wounded, upon which he continued to render very valu able assistance to Lieut.-Col. Dennie. To Brevet Captain Trevor, 3d Light Cavalry, politically employed on this occasion, I was indebted for the information obtained at 13ootkhak ; upon it my plan of attack was based, and it proved correct in every particular ; and ho was personally active and conspicuous throughout the engagement. FROM LIEUT.-COL. W: Ir. DENNIE, G. 8., COMMANDING I3TII LIGHT INFANTRY, TO MAJOR- GENERAL SIR R. H. SALE, K.C.8., COMMANDING. Dated Camp, Bootkhak, Oct. 12, 1841. Sir,-1 beg, on my return to camp, to report the details of the progress and completion of the affair with the rebels in the Khoord Cabool Pass, begun in so spirited a manner under your personal command this morning. On receiving charge over the troops, in consequence of your wound compelling you to leave the valley, I pursued your plan of operations by pressing the enemy as much as the nature of the ground would admit on both flanks, and rapidly moving on the main, columns and guns, with the intention of dis lodging them from their breastwork, if still occupied, but this the insurgents had evacuated, though they ventured te dispute the possession of the precipitous heights, and to di rect a well-aimed fire against our main force. Disconcerted, however, by the bold mannor in which they.were.met by our skirmishers as they scaled the mountain sides, and by the steady Progress of the advance, they gradually abandoned their first position, and retired to the highest ridges and pinnacles of the Durra. I had resolved from the first not to allow any lateral oppo sition to divert me from the main purpose of clearing the val ley,- and a little after seven a.m. I had the satisfaction of reaching the southern gorge of the pass, and establishing there the 35th Native Infantry and the guns in an excellent post, constituted by'the walls of a strong and capacious though de serted fort. By this time our skirmishers had everywhere got posSession of the heights, and the Affghan force under Jan Fishen Khan had also crowned the mountains and displayed their banners on its summit. You are aware that it was part of your original plan that the 13th Light Infantry should return to their encampment at Bootkhak—as the column marched back, the enemy showed themselves on several points of the defile, and opened a fire, and some loss was sustained in repelling these attacks, and in withdrawing our flanking parties. The troops finally arrived at Bootkhak, about two p.m., a good deal harrassed In the exertions of the morning. You will see by the returns, that the casualties have not been few, which arose from the great advantage afforded lly the ground to an enemy trained to mountain warfare. Permit me to add the expression of my admiration of the fearless manner in which the men of the 13th, chiefly young soldiers, ascended heights nearly perpendicular, under the sharp re of the insurgents. The sepoys of the 35th rivalled and equalled them in steadiness, activity, and intrepidity. I am happy to say, that no loss whatever of baggage of the native infantry was sustained in traversing this valley of plunderers. I have not yet received the casualty return of the 35th regi ment of Native Infantry, but have reason to believe that it is in amount about equal to that of the 13th, and I am informed that they have one officer, Captain Younghusband, severely wounded.

SALE, K.C.8., CON MANDING IST BRIGADE OF BRITISH TROOPS SERVING IN AFFGIIANISTAN, TO CAPTAIN GRANT, OFFICIATING AS SISTANT-ADJUTANT-GENERAL, CABOOL. Camp in the Valley near Teezeem, Oct. 23, 1841. Sir—l beg to acquaint you, for the information of Major- G enei al Elphinstone, C. 8., that the force united under my command, consisting of the Ist brigade of infantry, No. 6, light field battery, the mountain train. the corps of Sappers anti Miners, a squadron of the sth Light Cavalry, and a rissalah of the Shah's 2,1 cavalry, marcheal from Klioord Cabool to wards Teezeem yesterday morning. Lieutenant-Colonel Mon teath, 35th, commanded the advanced guard; Lieutenant- Colonel Dennie, 13th, the main column ; and Captain old. field, sth Light Cavalry, the rear guard ; in each of which troops of the several arms were appointed according to the best of my judgment. The force felt its way cautiously through the defiles of the Huft Kotul, occupying with skirmishers the hills on either flank, and leaving parties for the protection of our baggage and rear on selected points. Nothing was seen of the enemy until the advance and main body had halted in the Valley of Teezeem. From this low ground another vale stretches out towards the south-east, and on the sides and summits of the mountains which enclose the latter were posted in every quarter bodies of the insurgents, whilst another portion of their force, consisting of foot, led on by sirdars on horseback and their mounted followers, showed a determination to dispute with us the possession of a conical hill, which partially closes the entrance of the branching valley, and barred our ap proach to Moohumud Ufzal's fort, a large work. backed by gardens, which the rebels still garrisoned. 'From this eminence the advance-guard, under Colonel Monteath, drove them by a combined attack ; and I then directed the 13th Light Infantry and a portion of Captain Abbott's battery to advance under Lieutenant-Colonel Dennie, and assault the fort itself. The insurgents, however, abandoned it, after directing from it a feeble fire. I immediately determined to establish in it a depotifor my sick and wounded, and to take it as a point of support for ulterior operations, and an appui to my camp, to be fisted under its walls; but as the enemy continued to occupy in force a nearly circular range of heights, and even boldly to skirmish in a lower part of the valley, it became necessary to drive them from such segments of the mountain as would, if remaining in their hands, have given the power to corn. mand our position, and fire upon the troops with advintage at night. This led to a s uccsssion of skirmishes which were main!ained with great coolness and spirit by several com panies_ of the 13 th and one o f the 35th, aided b y the g uns of Captain Abbott's battery and the mountain train, and sup• ported by the cavalry. The combat was prolonged until after dusk, and the ammunition of one of the companies of the 13th having been expended, it was compelled temporarily to retire, and a very promisicg officer, Lieutenant Edward King, was killed at its head. A supply of cartridges and a reinforcement were promptly sent up, and the affair ended by the rebels being pushed off every part of the steep mountains which we designed to retain. The returns will show that our loss has been slight, and I have no doubt that the enemy suffered severely from the fire of our skirmishers and the shot of our batteries. The force bivouacked in position without an at tempt being made upon our 'line. Morning showed us the heights everywhere deserted by the rebels, and if a negotia tion which they have opened in very humble terms should not end in their entire submission, I purpose to attack their prin cipal fort to-.morrew. I regret to have to add that, though 'every precaution was PRICE 5d a lopted for the security of our line of communication, a large interval was created between our main body and rear guard by the circumstance of the latter having to await at Khoord Cabool the arrival of carriage from the capital for part of the public baggage. A lig,ht-armed enemy, well acquainted with the country, did - not fail to take advantage of this, and I fear that some ammunition and valuable stores have fallen Into their hands. 1 beg to forward ihe report of Captain Old field, detailing every occurrence whilst he commanded the rear guard; also, the returns of killed and wounded, and of ammu nition expended.

Sir,—l have the honour to acquaint you, for the informa tion of Major-General Elphinstone, C. 8., that the force under my command reached this place to-day. Last night passed over without the slightest insult to our out-posts at Kuttah Sung; but during the morning's march we descried small par ties at a distance on both flanks, especially near the outlet of the Purree Durree, which afterwards united in a combined attack on our rear guard. Our loss has been small, and the enemy was everywhere baffled and held in check by the fire from our guns and skirmishers. Owing however to the jaded state of our camelS, it became necessary to destroy a good deal of camp equipage to prevent its falling into the rebels' hands. The daily repetition of these attacks has given rise to sus picions of the sincerity of the Chiefs in the mind of the po litical assistant, in which I am compelled to . participate, though I shall be happy to find that their submission at Teczecm was made in good faith, and that these petty hostilities are the acts of men not under their controul. FROM MAJOR-GENERAL SIR. R. 11. SALE, E.C.8., COM 2HANDING THE IST BRIGADE OF BRITISH TROOPS SERV ING IN AFFGHANISTAN, TO CAPT. GRANT, OFFICIATING ASSISTANT-ADJUTANT-GENERAL, CABOOL. Dated Camp, Gundamuk, Oct. 30, 1te41.. Sir—Yesterday the force under my command was again en gaged with the insurgents of these mountains, and the affair was the sharpest which we have had since penetrating the pass of Khoord Cabool. I experienced little molestation in my camp at Jugdulluk, but observed towards sunset and by moonlight evident indications of the enemy which had attacked our rear guard earlier in the day, being in the act of moving off over the hills with a view of concentrating between my force and Sook hab. Major-General Elphinstone is acquainted with the loca lities, and will not have forgotten that the only entrance to the valley of Jugdulluk, from the eastward, is by a bug and winding kotul, overlooked and commanded by a lofty range of mountains, partially clothed with bushes and dwarf trees. Of these really terrific eminences the rebels had, as . I had anticipated, taken possession, in more considerable num bers than we had been opposed to since leaving Teezeem. Holding ail the salient points of the hills, and secure by breast works, they showed a determination to dispute with the utmost obstinacy the progress of our flanking parties, and to endeavour to prevent the debouch of our advance and main column. To enable us to effect this, I had to detach companies from every corps in the force to the right and left, which, aided by the Artillery, won their way, inch by inch, up the lofty heights ; much, however, remained to be done, and the fire of the mountaineers from several of the tallest summits was un libated," and success was every where doubtful, when a single company of the 13th, under Captain Wilkinson, was directed to advance up the defile itself. It pressed forward at a rapid pace, supported by all the reserves which re mained available, and to the surprise of the whole force found that the enemy had neglected to guard the main outlet. This vanguard, therefore, it supports, andlthe guns were quickly established on the narrow table land, from which they had it in their power to take the whole of the defences of the rebels in reverse. Our troops commanded the route Sookhab, and the enemy seemed to decline all further opposition. The march was resumed, but as the cumbrous train of baggage filed over the mountain, the insurgents again appearing from beyond 'the most distant ridges, renewed the contest with increased num bers and the most savage fury. Our rear-guard made the best dispositions for defence and rescue ; but the suddenness of the onset caused some confusion, during which, notwithstanding the efforts of the troops, some baggage and camp equipage' fell into the hands pf their opponents. Captain Wyndham, of the 33th, was killed at this crisis of the affair, and several brave men of all the corps fell or were wounded. Soon, however, by the praiseworthy exertions and cool and soldier-like order and example of Captains Backhouse and Broadfoot, of the Shah's service, and Fenwick, of the 13th, confidence was restored, the aspect of the affair changed, and the rear-guard extricated from the defile. It continued in the best order to retreat, and to repel the enemy, who had followed it up to the point at which the loftier hills wear away. Our casualties of yesterday and the day before amount to 130, amongst whom are one officer killed and four wounded. This loss will not be considered heavy by those who have seen the heights from which the re bels were driven, and are acquainted with the habits and cha racter cf the. mountaineers to whom we were opposed. I have to -day marched to this place without any interruption worthy of mention. From the details of this despatch the Major-General com manding in Affghanistan will be enabled to draw his own in ferences as to the actual state of our relations with the re fractory chiefs who were admitted at Teezeem into a treaty of reconciliation with the Government against which they had rebelled. But it belongs more peculiarly to my voca tion in the field, now that there is a prospect of brief re pose in the vicinity of this cantonment, to report with much satisfaction the cheerfulness, steadiness, and perseverance with which the troops have performed every duty required of them. Since leaving Cabool, they have been kept constantly on the alert by attacks by night and day ; from the time of their ar rival at Teezeem, they have invariably bivouacked, and the safety of our positions has only been secured by unremitting labour and throwing up entrenchments, and very severe out post duty, whilst each succeeding morning has brought its affair with a bold and active enemy, eminently skilful; in the species of warfare to which their:attempts have been con fined, and armed with juzails, which have enabled theM to annoy us at a range at which they could only be reached by-our artillery. Though compelled by the effects of my late wound to witness 'these conflicts from a &olio, I must bear myun equivocal testimony to the gallantry of officers and men on every occasion of contact with the enemy, and especially in scaling the tremendous heights above Jugdulluk. I enclose casualty return. I beg to express m) sense of the highly able assistance which I have received in all our attacks and skirmishes, and through out the operations, from Lieutenant-Colonels Monteath and Dennie, C.B. I have been much pleased with the address and able management of Captain Abbott, of the artillery, who has twice commanded the advance guard; and the exertions ,a Captain Wade, my Brigade Major, and of Captain Havelock, Persian interpreter to Mr. Elphinstone (temporarily uttached to me), in conveying my orders from point to point, and aiding in the dispositions, deserve my warmest commendations.

The object of the promoters of this undertaking is to sup ply the inhabitants of the metropolis and its vicinity with that most important desideratum—a plentiful supply of Water of the purest description. The plan proposed for attaining this important object is that which was su.bmitted by Mr. Paten to the consideration of the Committee of the House of Lords, in the session of 1840. Its practicability has been fully tested by extensive experiments made by Mr. Robert Stephenson; which most satisfactorily set at rest all doubts of the eligibility of the project : it is, there. fore, the intention of the promoters to apply to Parliament this session for the necessary powers to enable them to carry into effect an object so important to the public welfare. The proportion of the western metropolitan district, which it is intended first to supply, comprises 70,000 houses; and it is estimated that within the first two years the occupiers of 25,000 houses will avail themselves of the advantages offered by this undertaking. Taking this very limited number of houses at an average low rental of 21. per house, the income derivable Rill be 50,0001., and after deducting the annual ex pense attendant on such a supply—which has been carefully es timated at 14,0001.—wi1l leave an available annual income of 36,0001. The required capital, according to the careful estimate of Mr. Stephenson, and which he is satisfied, from his intimate know ledge of the ground, will not be exceeded, is 230,0001., and the necessary cost of laying down the mains and services to supply the 25,000 houses before named is 160,0001., making a total outlay of 390,000/. Assuming, therefore, the capital to be expended at. 400,0001., the return to the Proprietors will be on interest of 91. per cent. on the capital; and having de frayed the expense of bringing the water.. to London, every additional supply, both to houses along the line and in the me tropolis, beyond that estimated above, will add to the interest of the invested capital. The Vestrymen, Guardians, and Directors of the Parishes of the Borough of Marylebone. and also those of the Parish of St. Pancras, have earnestly recommended the inhabitants " to promote, by every means in their power, this laudable under taking, so pregnant with the highest advantages to the coo munity " Applications for Shares may be made to Messrs.

OSBORN E. footGenftrlmeoemLni,,--erpl Liverpool, and many m o you that fray I old friendshavereturned ere on are indeed astonished at my altered appearance and activity. I must also inform you that my broth e r-i n -l aw , M r . W. J. Barres, of this town, has, through my wonderful restoration to life and sound health, made use of Parr's Life Pills, and their effects on him have, if possible, been even more miraculous than on myself. He bad suffered from a most di,tressing asthma, cough, &c., for above seven years, but, after using one box at 2s. 9d., is quite a new being. The , most remarkable part of his case is this—his finger and toe nails, which had become so diseased that they were quite unsightly, have been replaced by new and perfect ones. t his has been considered by many who have visited him as a curiosity and wonder ; for my part, I have ceased to wonder at any cure effected by : Qld,Parr. I:continue to enjoy the best of health and spirits, and am yours very re spectfully, . JOHN OSBORNE, " Late of, her Majesty's 52d Regiment of Foot, dis charged incurable by the Regimental Doctors. " Hinckley, July 27,1841." . .. . In no one instance has this invaluable Medicine failed, when duly persevered in, to afford relief, even in .the oldest cad most inveterate cases ; if any, from want of confidence or fickleness, discontinue their use to, early, and thus leave unaccomplished what they desired, are they to attribute the fault to the medi cine? Certainly not; but to their own love of change and want of patience. Celsus has justly remarked, that " Diseases slow in their progress go off very slowly ; and that time is ne cessary to remove the deeply-rooted evils which time has occa • sinned." This should be borne in mind by all suffering from disease deeply-rooted in the system, to impart patience and per severance in the use of this medicine; and where the disorder 1 seems obstinate, they may rest fully assured that time will effect a radical and perfect cure. 4, „• See directions given with every Box.

TATTERSALL'S—YESTERDAY. __ Our anticipations that the meeting of Parliament would have some influence on the attendance here, was fully borne out by the increased numbers pre sent, and the comequent improvement in busi ness on the various events now in the mar ket. The variations in the odds against the two Derby favourites were of little moment, but in quoting Chatham at 11 to 1, we ought to state that 1,200 to 100 was laid agst him and Canadian jointly, and 1,000 to 100 agst him and Ballinkeele, and that no one would back him "singly under •13to 1. Robert de Gorham de •clined several points, and the Lord of Holderness as sumed a position which, without much risk, might have been assigned him some weeks since. The Artful Dodger was backed to win fourteen or fifteen thousand pounds at 50 . to 1, and Dr. Allen at least sixteen thousand pounds at 100 to 1, but without any vi,ible effect on the betting. Lasso, Defier, Barrier, and the I)irce ,colt, were in some force ; not ,so Auckland; Meteor, or the Joanna colt ; indeed, with the exception of those previously mentioned, very few were touched upon. The Oaks and Chester Cup betting was in small amounts, and without any feature of sufficient importance to dilate upon.

S AND NARRATIVE ILLUSTRATIONS OF SCOTTISH MUSIC AND SONG.—Last night Mr. Wilson gave his fifth entertainment, which comprised a review of the Rebellion in 1745, with the adventures of Prince Charles. The songs were chiefly Jacobite relics, and illustra tive of the various points in the Young Chevalier's career through Scotland, in 1745-6. The entertainment, independ ent of the songs, was one of the deepest interest, abounding with anecdotes of all descriptions—tragic and humourous, his torical and dramatic. It was listened-'to throughout with breathless attention ; and at the end, the audience testified the gratification they had enjoyed by long-continued applause. The songs were given, as usual, in Mr. Wilson's happiest style, and several of them were rapturously encored ; others would have been demanded twice, but through mercy for the sinker. The Music Hall was crowded in every part by a highly fashion able and respectable audience ; and we feel convinced that the longer Mr. Wilson continues his entertainments, the more po pular will they become, so interesting are they, as well as in. structive. Last night's, for example, was as complete a history of the rebellion in the '45, as could well be given ; and we have no doubt that. this entertainment alone, would draw crowded audiences for at least a dozen nights more. He sung, in addition to the sot !.•;s in the programme, of which there were twelve, " Flora 111`Iflonald's Lament for Prince Charlie," one of the sweetest melodies we ever listened to. The programme of next Monday's entertainment, contains a delightful variety of choice old songs. DEA F N ESS.-SOUnd Magnifiers, and Invisible Operative Voice conductor., to enable persons at an advanced age, and of old standing extreme deafness, to join in general conversation, and to catch the sound of a distant low speaker at a public assembly; they are the size of a very small gold seven shilling piece, and when in the cavity of the ears, they are not in the least perceptible nor more uncomfortable than having a small piece of fine wool in its place ; they are composed of a metal to collect sound, peculiar to the Messrs. S. and B. Solomons themselves ; and although they are so extremely small yet they enable those afflicted with extreme deafness, and those who are only slightly dull of hearing to hear in every respect equal to those of most acute hearing.

'... _ STATE OF THE NOTTINGHAM HOSIERY Joni LACE TRADES.—It is painful to state, that notwith standing the mouth of February has arrived, the demand for f oo e d m s pl i o s y r ui a e p n id t l , y n d o e w er i e , a h s o i l n ly g s ; tasnhdo,ps whilsttliat some bot h hosiery tini e sines h l a a d ce lial g a fever for emigration prevails amongst the young men, and it is only for the want of means to pay their passage that it is not general. In the midst of this distress, we are sorry to state that the manuf.cturers of both hose and lace are conti nually compelled, through the influene of the Corn-laws, to meditate reductions in the wages. The wrought cotton hose hands have submitted almost without a struggle to the reduc tion of 3d. per dozen an their wages. Another very large house has given notice of its intention to reduce the price for making cut-up hosiery.—Nottingliant Review. The Lace Trade of Chard continues in a de 'messed state, or rather is increasingly depressed.
