UNIVERSAL LIFE ASSURANCE OF FICE, I, KING WILLIAM-STREET, LONDON. The Rates of this Office, founded on the most accurate ob servations of the duration of human life, are as moderate as is consistent with perfect security. One-fifth of the ascertained profits of the five preceding years is divided between the policy-holders and shareholders ; three-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 13th 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. The second division of profits was in May, 1841, when a similar reduction was again declared. The following table will show the operation of the reduction made by the Society : Age Reduced when Annual Date ot Sum Original Reduction Premium Policy Policy. Assured.

The anp - ecedented sale of these Pills, arising from the earnest re emunendations of the many thousands who have derived benefit from their usa, render a.iy lengthened comment unnecessary ; they are not put frrth as a cure for all diseases to which mankind is liable, but for Bilious and - Liver Compla.nts, ith their many well-known attendants, Bilious and Sick Head-ache, Pain and Oppression after meals, Gliddines , , Dizziness, Singing Noise in Head and Ears, Drow 'Ness, Heartburn, Loss cf Appetite, Wind, Spasms, &c. ; they are acknowledged to be vastly sunerior to anything ever before offeied to the public, and for those of a full habit of body where a determ tion of b`ood to the head may terminate in Apoplexy, they will prove Only valuable; while as a gelie , al I Ap:rient fdr either ex,they cannot fail to ensure universal satisfaction. Two sr Vireo awes will convince the afflicted of their salutary effects. The sto mach will speedily regain its strength ; a healthy action of the Liv er, Bowels, and Kidneys will rapidly take elate ; and, instead oflistlees ness, heat, pains, and jaundiced appearance, strength, activity, an enewed health, will be the result of taking this medicine, according .0 the directions accompanying each box.

" 1 he various forms of bodily and mental weakness, incapacity, suffering, and disease, faithfully delineated in this cautiously written and practical work, are almost unknown, generally misunderstood, and treated upon principles correspondingly erroneous and supe , - ficial, by the ixesent race of medical practitioners. Hence the necessity for the publication of a timely safeguard, a silent yet friendly monitor, or where debility has wade threatening inroads, the means of escape and the certainty of restoration. The evils to which this book adverts axe extensive and identical In their secret and hidden or igin, and th ere are none to whom, as Parents, Guar dians, Heads of Families, and especially of Publ c Schools, is con fided the care of young people, who ought to remain for a moment devoid of that information and those salutary cautions this work is intended to convey. Not only are the meet delicate forms of gene_ native debility neglected by the family physician, but they require far their safe management the exclusive study of a life entirely ab stracted from the routine of general practice, and (as in other de partments of the profession) attentively concentrated in the daily and long-continued observation requisite for the correct treatment of sexual infirmities. If we consider the topics touched upon, either in a moral or social view, we find the interests and welfare of mankind serious l y involved. The effects of licentious, indiscriminate, and secret in dulgenre in cei lain practices, are described with an accuracy and force which display at once profound reflection and extensive prac tical experience."—Planet " The best of all Friends is the Professional Friend; in no shape can be cansulted with greater safety and secresy than, in " Lucas on Manly Vigour." The Initiation into vicious indulgence —its progress—its results in both sexes, are given with faithful, brat alas ! for human nature, with afflicting truth. However, the Author Ti have not exposed the evil without affording a remedy. It show s how " Manly Vigour" temporarily impaired, and mental and phy, sical emasculation, produced by uncontrolled indulgence of the pas sions, can be restored ; how the sufferer, who has pines in anguish from the consequences of early indiscretion - afraid almost to en counter his fellow man, can regain the vigour of health and moral courage. The work is written in a concise and perspicuous style, displaying bow often fend parents are deceived by the outward phy sical appearance of their youthful offspring; how the attenuation of the frame, palpitation of the heart, derangement of the nervous system, cough, indigestion, and a train of symptoms indicative of consumption or general decay, are often ascribed to wrong causes, and instead of being the natural results cf congenital debility cr disease, are the consequences of an alluring and pernicious practice, alike destructive to the mind and body." — Ne w Bell's Weekly Mes senger. Although a newspaper is not the ordinary chaancl far the ex pression of opin on upon the merits of a medical work, this remark is open to exceptio i in any instance where the public, and not the isolated and exclusive members of the profession are the parties ad. dressed. Upon that which is directed to men indiscriminately, the world will foim its own opinion, nd will demand that medical works forpublic study should be devoid of that mysterious techni cality in which the scie•ice of medicine has hitherto shrouded its own ignorance. The work before its treats of subjects are believe ge nerally, yet very strangely, neglected by the medical attendant, and requiring doubtlessly (as in operative midwifery and thesurgery of the eye) an entire devotedness to a deeply important blanch of study. The tone o; this book is highly moral, and it abounds in well written, harrowing, yet correct displays of the suffering consequent upon 1111- bridled sensualism. No human being can to the worse for its perusal. To multitudes it must prove a warning beacon, a well told appeal to reason, a permanent blessing. Ris written in a clear, intelligent style; and is evidently the production of a mind long and practically conversant with the diseases of the most delicate division of the human organisation."—Magnet. The security of happiness in the marriage state is the chief anxiety of all; but many dread entering upon the wedded union, through a secret fear of unfitness for the discharge of matrimonial obligations. •rhis essay is most particularly addressed to all suffering under a dc. spondency of the character alluded to; and advice will be found calculated to cheer the drooping heart, aid point the way to reno vated health.

This Work, a Seventh Edition of which is now presented to the public, ten thousand copies have been exhausted since its first appearance, has been very much improved and enlarged by the addition of a more extended and clear detail of general principles, as also by the insertion of several new and highly in teresting cases. 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 en 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 fur 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 diseases, which arise from certain secret praetices, 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 lungs, 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 ne hesitation in saying that there is ne member of soch ty by whom 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 EOM 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, tabes, &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, and a standard whereby to judge, when delicacy of health should appear to attack any of his young charges, what the real causes of such attack may be, and thus he will be enabled to check the evil in its incipient state. The CLERGYMAN, in whose sacred character is at once concentrated the two-fold relation of parent and instructor, will hero be directed as .to the nature of those habits to which youth is addicted ; he will also be enabled to point out the dis astrous consequences which are sure to follow from them if not relinquished: Messrs.

On Saturday, at the meeting of the Marylebone Ves try, Mr. Soden in the chair, another numerous deputation of the inhabitants of Oxford-street, headed by Messrs. Underwood, Bell, Jackson, and Green, waited upon the Vestry for the purpose of p resen ti ng a memor i a l, s i gne d by fifty-eight inhabitant s of Oxford-street, resident in that part where the wood paving is already laid down, detailing at considerable length the advantages which had not merely accrued to themselves in their business, but to the public generally, since it s i n t ro d uc ti on ; an d 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 inhabitants of 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 UNDERWOOD having also offered a few observations in support of it, the deputation with drew. Mr. JOSEPH then rose to move the non-confirmation of the minutes. He should not dwell long upon the matter himself, although it was understood it was the intention .of ,those who were opposed to wood-paving to speak against time, in order to tire persons out, and tl}us 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 three years. In the first place, such a resolution was not only upon the face of it absurd, but for a fluctuating board like that vestry to make a retro spec ti ve . yesolutton 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 Oxford 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. BIERS 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 in:fted 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. HARBERT at great length followed on the same side, and reiterated the arguments he adduced on the previously Saturday in opposition to wood pavement and in fa our of granite. He produced also some fresh blocks of wood from Oxford-street ; those from the centre being 54 inches, and on the sides 51 inches, the original size being six inches when laid down. This, he contended, proved wood paving a failure, inasmuch as the projectors declared it would not wear away half an inch 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 falleicious. They pre tended so much about the interests of the 13,800 other rate-payers, whilst, at the same time, they were picking their pockets.—(Loud cries of " Order " " Chair !" and some confusion.) Mr. Gibson maintained his position, for it was proved that the wood paving, let alone the saving in the cleansing, could be had for Id. per yard cheaper than the present Macadamized road, and yet the Vestry refused to carry it out.—(Hear, and "Oh 1") Lord NUGENT ridiculed the idea of carrying out 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 there 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 fairly tested. Mr. GLAZIER (amidst loud cries of " Question " and " Chair") said 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 adopted, would gain from 5001. 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 wus placed in the portion of a road, and Mr. COCHRANE, in opposition, adduced the opinions of about twenty scientific men to prove that concession and traction preserved rather than added to the decaypf 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 were 400 ratepayers asking for that which would be a benefit to the parish and the public at large, and with out a single voice of a ratepayer, excepting a certain party 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 for a space of three years. The question was 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 disgraceild scene en sued. 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 division was taking place thii poor Sold vestrymen was pounced upon, in the first place, by one of the anti-wood paviors, named Hawkins, and, with the assistance of Mr. Thomas, the barrinter ' and one or two others, he wa s lit era ll y being dragged from his seat, on the " wood-paving-side," to the opposite side of the vestry-room. 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 bottom of Zhe 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 of the 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-pacing in Oxford-street for three years, One.—The vestry then, in great confusion, broke up, after another discusEion of nearly four hours. HANOVER, DEC. 30.—The person arre: ited on suspicion of ' having committed the assault on 111 r. 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 evidence against him but that of the girl, which for many r easons was not th oug ht deserving of implicit credit. LONDON AND BIRMINGHAM RAILIVAY...-It appears, from the Railway Times of Saturday, that the shareholders of the London and Birmingham Railway Company have recently presented to the Chao lean, G. Carr Glyn, Esq., a piece of plate, of the value of upwards of sixteen hundred pounds, as a token of their approba tion of the manner in which he has presided , civer the affairs of the railway during the last five years. CAPTURE OF A SLAVE-SHIP. The following is an extract of a letter from a young gantleman belonging to Ayshiro, 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 months' cruise. 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 gratifying to think that we shall 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 poor creatures 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-part 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, and the miseries endured by the poor prisoners there on a particular occasion. To suppose that such a number of human beings could be squeezed into such a 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 infants in their arms, which they tended and soothed with a maternal affection which was quite exemplary, consi dering their situation and the privations they were com pelled to suffer ; indeed, few civilised mothers could have done the same if placed in a similar situation. "In the forepart of the vessel, reaching from the mainmast to the forecastle, about 300 males were con fined. This part of the vessel was called the gaol, and is about 50 feet in length •by 27 in breadth, the roof being; about 3 4 1 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 that were to give place, not to freedom, but to the slavery which the fiends, heir masters, slould find opportunity to entail upon them for life. It struck me, however, that their general appearance, ever. in the more uncomfort able circumstances in which they were placed, betokened the greatest contentment; some of them were even quite cheerful and happy looking. They were fed twice a day —at nine o'clock morning, and again at three o'clock afternoon. Their food in the morning , consisted of boiled beans, in which a little flour had been mixed. A vessel containing a quantity of this stuff was placed among them, and every one might eat as much .as he pleas • ed. The afternoon meal consisted of flour and warm water, mixed together in the form of a thin gruel, which was also served ad 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 be called in the market a splendid lot. The females, whose ages might run from three to twenty, with the exception of three infants, were all well-looking, and equally marketable with the men. Notwithstanding 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 for each save 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 go sea boats, the Admiralty occasionally purchase they for her Majesty's service. "The Bay of St. 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." THE SHORT TIME COMMITTEE AND THE MINISTERS: If we are rightly informed, the chief speaker at the whole of these conferences was Mr. G. A. Fleming, late Editor of the New Morel World, the organ of the Owenites. That one holding such opinions should eagerly seize the opportunity thus afforded of dilating upon the evils of machinery under the restrictive sys tem, and of asserting that no extension of our manu factures could possibly improve the condition of the labouring class, was all very natural. The apostles of Socialism omit no chance which presents itself of mak-. ing it appear, that nothing, save the addition of- a new social system, can ameliorate the condition of the suf fering classes. Sir Robert Peel appears almost a convert to the crude speculations of Robert Owen. If Ministers are actually inclined to favour the politico-economical views of the Socialists, let them boldly and honestly avow their in tention to do so ; but do not let them, in concert with the missionaries of that sect, attempt to bolster up the landowners' monopoly under the guise of extraordinary humanity to the working classes: Since writing the above, we have seen reports of three other conferences which have been held with the Duke of Buckingham, Lord Lyndhurst, and Lord Stanley The same names are appended to all—Mr. G. A. Fleming Socialist Missionary; Mr. Joshua Hobson, late pub lisher of the New Moral World, and also publisher of Feargus O'Connor's paper—the Northern Star; Mr. Mark Crabtree, beerseller, and Messrs. T. S. Brooke and John Leech, whose occupations we have not learned. The members of the deputation appear to have been better pleased with the Duke of Buckingham than with any of the other Ministers on whom they waited ; but the report of their conference with him is - very brief. By virtually expressing their willingness to suppprt the food monopoly—from which all the worst evils of the factory system have sprung—the individuals composing the Socialist deputation purchased for themselves the liberty of talking to the members of the Cabinet f or several hours on the evils of competition, machinery, and the other dogmas of Owenism ; and, what was of more importance still; of publishing to the world their crude speculations on those matters in the columns of th e T imes, and the other Tory Journals, in connection with certain remarks of Sir Robert Peel and his colleagues. Altogether it seems to us that the affair reflects but very little credit on Ministers. If they sincerely wish to gain the confidence of the labouring classes, it must be by some very differept course than mixing themselves up with so contemptible a hoax as that of the soi-disant de putation from the Committee of Operatives of the West Riding of Yorkshire.—Manchester Guardian. THE SHORT-TIME COMMITTEE. TO THE ED1T01? OF THE SUN. SIR—I am really astonished at the impudence fit tempted to be palmed off upon the country, by the prominence and importance given to the inter views of the " Short-time Committee" and the Government. These fellows appear as the representa tives of the working classes of the West Riding ! In the name of my fellow-workmen, I protest against such mis-representation. What, Sir, represent the working classes, and say nothing of the price of food !—nothing of dear bread !—nothing of the right of every man to exchange the fruit of his labour for the corn, Ste., of other countries 1 I marvel at this (doubtless well paid) impudence. Who arc these men ? Whence ca me they ? Who sent them, and traine d them to enact t h is farce ? " Aye, there's the rub." Let Lord A***** an swer. The public should know, Sir, that the whole thing has been got up for the express purpose of diverting the public mind from the great " master grievance" (as Lord Melbourne truly called it) of the Bread-tax, ' and to make it appear that theirs were the opinions of the working classes ! Pray, Sir, let me call upon the working men of Leeds and other large towns to appoint a real, not a sham depu tation, who shall wipe away the stain inflicted on them by the senseless jargon of those fellows about machinery caus ing their present sufferings ! What employment should we have but for the machines, when u3itli them, we can only barely.compete with other nations ? And why ? Simply because we pay double for our food. Machinery ! Faugh ! Would a man have a well dug with fingers and nails, because it would employ more hands than if done with a spade and pick-axe ? and yet, herein lies the whole question. If any be so foolish, let him ask, how many wells would be wanted at the price they would then cost ? and he will see at once the utter absurdity of attempting to do without machinery. The hypocrisy also of these landowners joining the outcry ought to be exposed. Just think—these very men are themselves offering premiums all over the country for the best ma , chines for the purposes of agriculture! and the renegade Times is printed with perhaps one of the most wonder ful and labour-saving machines in the world ! Sir, I admire the noble stand you have made for the working classes, in advocating the destruction of their worst enemy—the Bread-tax ; and I trust you will yet live to see your reward. A•deputation should immediately be sent to Sir Robert Peel and Sir James Graham, to do away with the mummery so recently practised, and as they were so delighted to see and receive such a deputa tion, they could not refuse to see another, though with very different . views. To conclude, as there is a law to keep up the price of food, let them be sure to ask where is the law to keep up the price of labour. If the for mer must be still maintained, the latter is only justice. ONE OF THE WORKING CLASSES. Manchester, Jan. 6, 1842.

No sooner is a Medicine well established in public favour than a host of imitators arise, who, for the sake of gain, n7t only wrong the Proprietors of the genuine Medicine, but inflict a serious injury on the unwary purchaser of their base counter feit trash. These observations 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 15,000 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 which exhibit the most un blushing effrontery. In order that purchasers may be able to de tect thrse 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 ; also that the name of " Mr. Edwards, 67, St. Paul's, London," is printed, as Whole-e 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 an application of all agents and respectable venders throughout the United Kingdom. As a proof of their efficacy the Proprietors refer,to thelollow ing Extraordinary Cure of Confirmed Asthma selected from hundreds of a similar nature : Mrs. Joseph Simpson has been severely afflicted, for the iast thirty years, with a violent cough and difficulty of breathing. The affliction has been so severe that she could not fulfil her usual domestic obligations. 'She took cold when only fifteen years old, and the cough never left her till she took Parr's Lifo Sho had tried almost every kind of medicine, and had taken laudanum in large quantities, but nothing afforded relief. She heard of Parr's Pills about last Christmas, and as soon as she had taken about half a box she found herself completely cured, 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. This cure does indeed appear miraculous • but for the satis faction of the most incredulous, she has kindly consented to an swer any inquiries, either by personal application or by letter, addressed to Mrs. Joseph Simpson, Church-hill Close, Old Lenton, near Nottingham. The medicine is sold wholesale by appointment of the pro prietors by Edwards, 67, St. Paul's, London, in boxes at Is. lid., 2s. 9d., and 1 is. each.

EVENING SUN PRICE 5d MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS. 4) FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF TilIS DAY. TIMES.—The mercantile circular of Messrs. True man and Cook, of London, and the mercantile circular of Messrs. Buchanan and Co., of Liverpool, in review ing the state of trade during the past year, agree in most points as to the causes which have made it one of so little profit to those engaged in business. Both firms appear to carry their observation back to the date of the establishment of joint-stock banks, and the redundancy in circulation created by their reckless advances of monies as one of the chief causes which have produced the late extreme depression of trade. These advances, they say, called into existence mills and machinery to an extent which carried production far beyond reasonable bound. A succession of bad harvests is also quoted as h av i ng h a d a powerful in fluence in bringing about so much derangement ; for the quantities of foreign wheat and fl our on w hi ch duty has been paid for consumption in the United Kingdom were, in 1838, equal to 1,834,43 quarters ; in 1839 , 2,681,390 quarters ; in 1840, 2,436,665 quarters ; in 1841, 2,413,216 quarters ; making together 9,365,724 quarters in four years, for which little short of 20,000,0001. sterling were paid to exporting countries, whereas in the four preceding years the amount in i value was not more than 500,000/. Reference s also strongly and pointedly made to the suspension by the American States, and the failure of houses in that trade, which, having a large amount of capital locked up on the other side of the Atlantic, have been re duced to the necessity of winding up till the derange ment in trade has passed ; while also the state of our foreign relations is indicated as having pressed heavily on business in all departments. With respect to the future, Messrs. Truernan and Cook write—" It is highly satisfactory to observe, in regard to the position of our monetary affairs, upon which a return to prospe rity much depends, that the year commences with a change for the better, so decided as to form quite a con trast to what has been long experienced. The Bank of England was never more at ease, for bullion is flow ing in from all quarters ; and their stock in about two or three months has increased 2,000,000, being now 6,000,000, and even allowing for some check from fur ther imports of corn, it is not unreasonable to expect that by the month of April the accumulation will have reached at least 7 ; 000,000. Messrs. Buchanan and Co. take much the same view of the effect of the late large influx of specie upon the stock of bullion in the Bank, although they hardly give so high an estimate of the amount by nearly 1,000,000/., and form a similar opinion as to a favoui•able return in business, it it is foliowed with prudenc,t and caution. On the subject of foreign investineats they state— Previous to this period (alluding to about 11 years ago, which was the period when the disposition sprang up to seek a new system fur the employment of capital) surplus money had been very generally lodged in the hands of experienced private bankers at a moderate in terest, and was employed by them with prudence and judgment, the more so because it was loaned on their individual responsibility. So soon however as the vari ous foreign and domestic joint-stock projections began to come in favour with the British public, more parti cularly those of the United States of America, then these deposits were gradually withdrawn, and invested from time to time, together with constant and enormous annual accumulations, in undertakings ren dered tempting, net, as it should have been, by the reasonable prosp, ct of ultimate success, because based on solid foundations, hut by the temptation afforded in the shape of high interest or a quick premium. This species of gambling in time produced reflection on the part of some, and woe correct information of the real state of affairs on the part of others, induced the initi atcd, from one or the other of these motives, to pocket the early bonuses, and leave the unwary in the lurch Ruinous as man ) of our local schemes have been, in the United States of America, where a a ery large amount of British money i,as invested, the results are disastrous in the extreme. Tue absolute extinction of capital by many of these projections is enormous, and the buoy ancy of trade and commerce necessarily crippled there by. These remarks, though applying to the monied interest generally, do particularly so to business men having moderate: surplus means, and a class of people not concerned with trade. ADVEltTisEll.—Our private letters from Ports mouth mention that the freight cf specie brought by her Majesty's ship Conway, from China, forming part of the sum guaranteed to Captain Elliot as the ran som for Canton, cansiwts of Sycee silver, and not of Spanish dollars, as has been stated. The freight con sists of sixty-two ions of silver, and is worth 550,000/. It must have been a source of infinite pain to the Emperor of China and his High Commissioner, to have parted with this the first instalment of the amount of the ransom, in a metal, to retain which withi❑ the empire has always been a source of the greatest anxiety to the authorities. In fact, had not the opium trade a direct tendency to drain China of the Sycee silver, there might, perhaps, not have been a ban placed upon it. 11 we recollect rightl: . , in some of the earlier proclamations against the opium trade, the morals of the people received but slight considera tion ; the great reason why the drug should be pro hibited being that it tended to cause large exportations of this precious metal in favour of the barbarians. There is no preced,nt for such a large amount of Sycee silver being received into this country. The coffers of the Bank of England will next weer receive this valu able consignment. The value of this, the favourite and much cherished metal of the Celestial Government, is intrinsically greater than that of British silver. Other consignments are expected to leach this country soon on the same account. TRIAL OF A YOUNG -LADY ON A CHARGE OF FELONY.—At the Gloucestershire Sessions, on Fri day, the trial of Miss Allen, the daughter of the wealthy Col. Allen, well known in th e coun ty o f Gloucester, i took place n the Court-house. Miss Allen, on her name being called, presented herself, attended by her mother and some male friends, who manifested great anxiety on her behalf. She was elegantly attired, but kept her face closely enveloped in a thick crape veil. When called upon to plead she trembled violently, and would have • fallen to the ground, had she not received the support of the turnkey. The Chairman ordered that she might be accommodated with a chair, and she then, in a feeble voice, pleaded " Not guilty." The charge against the prisoner was, that she had, on Nov. 22, one into the shop of a chemist and druggist, named Joslin, in the High-street, Cheltenham, and asked if Mr. Joslin was within. On being answered in the negative, she went away, but subsequently returned, and asked liberty from the apprentice to sit down. The apprentice went up stairs, and toak his po sition near a glass which was suspended . from the ceil ing, and upon which was reflected all the things in the. shop. Whilst so occupied, he (the apprentice boy) ob served the prisoner go towards the counter and take up a packet of perfunie and place it under her cloak. Mr. Joslin shortly afterwards returned, who, when told by his apprentice of what had occurred, took the prisoner up stairs, and charged her with the robbery. She de nied it at first, but upon Mr. Joslin's sending for a po liceman, - the prisoner gave up the packet of per fume, remarking that her head was so distracted that she did not know what she was doing. It was contended on behalf of the prisoner that she was subject to fits of abstraction and weakness of intellect, and that she was not at all times mistress of her own actions. Medical and other testimony having been adduced in support of this defence, the Jury, after a short deliberation, re turned a verdict of acquittal. PROPOSED ESPLANADE IN PICCADILLY.— We have heard it stated, and we believe on good grounds, that a great and striking improvement is about to be made in the appearance of .Piccadilly consequent upon the removal of the ranger's • house in the Green Park, which will be demolished early in the spring. The tasteful suggestion, we have heard, was made by the Premier, and is to consist of a noble terrace and public walk from the gate into the Palace gardens at Hyde Park-corner to the junction of the houses at the lower end of the basin. The form of the ground on this line is particularly favourable to picturesque effect in laying out and planting; and to architectural beauty of design in the esplanade. Fountains and statues, too, are likely to be introduced to add to the grandeur of the plan, give encouragement to the arts, and combine the whole with the palatial residence of the Sovereign by carrying it, perhaps, farther on hereafter along the line opposite, to Grosvenor-place. The magnificent equestrian statue of Wellington, now casting by Wyatt, will surmount the arch facing Apsley House ; and we see no reason why it should not be balanced at the other termination by a statue of Sir Robert Peel, together with his name to the work, the idea of which, as we have mentioned, is under stood to have emanated from him. At all events, it will be a splendid embellishment of this principal street in entering the capital from the west.—Literary Gazette. — [Should the suggestion of our learned Contemporary be adopted, we confidently hope the statue will not be eques trian, for if made true to life, the one statue would form a sad contrast with the other.]; We find the following in the Presse :—" Infor mation received from a credible source has given us the key to the mission with which, according to the Augs burg Gazette, M. de Pahlen is intrusted to Mehemet AIL It is known that all the commercial treaties between the Porte and the other powers of Europe establish an import ditty of 10 per cent. on all merchandise brought into the Turkish provinces. Russia, better advised, has made a treaty with the Porte in virtue of which this duty shall not exceed 3 per cent., as prescribed by the koran itself. When,' after the treaty of July, the English wished to force the Paella of Egypt to allow the execution of the treaty of commerce between them and the Porte, Mehemet Ali made no opposition. On the contrary ; as before all the other nations had paid him only the 3 per cent. duty established by the koran, it was to his, own interest to accede to the treaty of Commerce between England and the Porte, which insured him a duty of 10 per cent. The English, when it was too late, learnt from the represent ations of their merchants that they had committed a g reat mistake, and have demanded the same commercial faci lities as were granted to Russia, which power has re.. mained in this respect, more favoured any oth nation. Alarmed by the application of England, Russia has thought fit to send M. de Pahlen to Alexandria, in order to counteract it."
