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 submitted 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 will be 50,0001., and after deducting the annual ex pense attendant on such a supply—which has been carefully es• timated at 14,0004—wi1l leave an available annual income o. 36,0001. , 1; R OYAL POLYTECHNIC INSTITU TION, R EGENT-STREET. —MORNINGS and EVENINGS except SA'i URDAY EVENINGS.

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 160,000!., making a total outlay of 390,000!. Assuming, therefore, the capital to be expended at 400,000!., 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 theliorough of Marylebone. and also those of the P.rish 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 corn munity."

The tone o! this book is highly moral, and it abounds in well written, harrowing, yet correct displays of the suffering consequent upon un bridled sensualism. No human being can I e the worse for its perusal. To multitudes it must prove a warning beacon, a well told appeal to reason, a permanent blessing.

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 anti 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 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 so doing, they were further convinced by feeling that tact in in vestigating the latent sources of many disease 3, 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 no hesitation in saying that there is no member of society by whom the book will not be found useful, whether such person hold the relation of a Parent, a Preceptor, or a Clergyman. LONDON WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 9, 1842. The meeting of the Anti-Corn-law Conference yester day was extremely gratifying. When so many earnest ss a i i ih i e c n om o: and resolute men demand the total repeal of the Corn laws on principles of justice, and declare that they will be contented with nothing less, we cannot resist the con cimion that they must attain their object t'lltiouigighhiltioblie ticians may sneer at them, their language goes direct . to will he the heart, , and kindles in their favour all the best feel ings of human nature. They m p u o s r t ofp t t r h i e u r n t i , 13 ii, andwithin teach statesmen that their craft, pow posed to the voice of truth demanding justice. on ordinary occasions, is feeble and pow: For a clear exposition of the manlier in which the domain of morals, we refer to the excellent speech of Corn-laws therefore violate the tloietherriglsipt species f ei Mr. BRIGHT, of Rochdale. But we cannot enter into discussion ;- we can only earnestly recommend the whole proceedings to the ,serious consideration of statesmen of all parties. ___, without The debate in the Madrid Cortes threatens t b twelve days under generally in terminable. discussion, On the 3 and yet the t talking k 1 st t t i d itt t . he ehhalrrda tte been oi nfg living Ministers, was going on as f u ri o usly as ever.

The PARENT, who beholds his beloved child pining away, and fast approaching to a prematu re grave, i n 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, on 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 charges, delicacy of what the real causes health should appear of such a tack any of his y oung 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 it s i nc i pienktate. The CLERGYMAN, in whose sacred charact is at once concentrated the two-fold relation of parent and instructor, will here 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. must n be accompanied by Messrs.

NOr do the Ultra-Liberal Journals stand alone in this respect. The organs of legitimacy are equally indecorously ran corous in the expression of their joy at the deplorable events which took place in Cabool. There is quite a dearth of political news in the French papers of Monday. The following extracts from them are of some interest:— The Chamber of Deputies was summoned for Monday at three o'clock, to receive a communication from the Government. This communication is the presentation of a project of law on the iron railway. The Globe of Belgium. publishes the following news :—" We learn to-day from a person who is so situated as to be able to give the most correct inforniation, that the accession of the Grand Duchy of Luxemburg to the German Customs Union, has at length been agreed to by the King of the Netherlands. M Rochussen, the Dutch Minister of Finance, has been to London to take the ratifi cation of the treaty to the King of Prussia. The following are the terms in which the ratification on the part of the Grand Duchy is said to be expressed. " The Treaty is concluded for the term of one year; if at the expiration of that year the King Grand Duke should think fit to cancel the engagement, he is not to conclude any Treats with an other party till after the lapse of four years delay from the day in which he signifies his renunciation of the present Treaty." The Courrier Beige confirms this news.—Consfitutionnel. The National announces that Mr. Chapino, Mont Laville, will, en Thursday next, bring forward in the Chamber of Deputies, the following proposal : " Thenceforth the 24th Article of the Law of the lit Law of the 17th May, 1819, shall be as follows :—The printers of writings, the authors of which shall be prosecuted by virtue of the present law, and who complied with the obligations prescribed by the 2d head of the law of Oct. 21, 1841, shall not be liable to prosecution merely for having printed these writings, unless they have acted willingly (scientment), as is stated in Article 60 of the present code." However, the printers of daily journals can never be considered as having acted wittingly. BOURSE—pAm, MONDAY, FED, 7. First Highest Lowest last French 5 Der Cents Price Price. Prick.

SPECIMENS OF PARLIAMEN TARY REPORTING. Colonel Sibthorp made the following allusion to The Sun last night in the House of Commons, in his speech on the subject of the Better Regulation of Railways : " He (the Hon. and Gallant Colone}) thought that sufficient had fallen from the public Press on this subject; and he alluded, in particular, to one Paper, from which he differed In political matters —he alluded to The Sun, the comments of which on the unfortu. nate accidents which occurred, were of the most salutary kind, and whose efforts in urging that some efficient measure should be adapted to prevent them, conferred great credit on itself." This manly and generous notice of a political opponent, our Morning Contemporaries slur over in the following style : The herald says ;—" The public Press had also done itself credit by what it had said on the subject. He (Colonel Sibthorp) alluded particularly to one Paper, from which he generally differed." The Chronicle does not condescend to notice either the allusion to the press in general, or The Sun, in particular, but maintains a total silence on the subject of both remarks. The Times exhibits an equal reserve. The Post contents itself with the following report :—" Sufficient had been shown in public by the public press, to convince them that an interference on the part of the Government was necessary." - --- - LLOYD'S SHIPPING-(THIS DAY.)

" Who runs may read." rostEra. The accession of the Grand Duchy of w Luxemburg to the German Commercial Union has been agreed upon for one year. In the French Chamber of Deputies, on Monday, the Minister of Public Works read the Goverment plan for the railroads. The lines proposed to be executed immediately, at the expense of the State, are those between Paris and Brussels, by Lille, with branches fo Calais, Avignon, and Marseilles, and Elle, Pari s t o N antes, by Tours and O r l eans, Chalons and Dijon, to Strasburg. M. Chapuis de Montaville, a Deputy of the Extreme Left, gave notice on Monday of a motion for a Bill tending to except printers from the responsibility of articles published in journals, tl.us leay. ing the responsible publisher alone liable. The Augsburg Gazette of the 3d inst. publishes a letter from St. Petersburgh of the 22d ult., stating that the recal of Count Pahlen was not connected with any political motive, and that conse quently the question of etiquette debated between France and Russia had not originated with the latter Power. Count Pahlen will not return to his post, the Emperor having resolved upon no longer having any Ambassadors at the European Courts, but only Ministers Plenipotentiary upon special missions. PUZItIC OPINION. The Morning Post denies, for at least the hundredth time, that the present distress is caused by the Corn-laws, observing that the vast enterprises undertaken without any provision for the recoil, together with the cupidity, luxuriousness, and hard-keartedness of the mere seekers after wealth in the manufacturing districts, mainly tend to produce distress. The Chronicle warns Sir Robert Peel not to compromise his remedial measures I,r the eske of rote-catching ; and adds, that it remains tor him to make the elevation he has conquered an ex hibition of glory or of disgrace, such as the greatest may envy, or the meanest may despise. The Herald states that the introduction of Lord Stanley 'a Bill respecting ecclesiastical dignitaries in the West Ludes, is another indication of business -like energy in the Government to which the Noble Lord is attached. The Times denies that the people's petitions are treated with disrespect. PARLIAMENTARY. Lord Brougham, last night, presented the petition of the Edin burgh Conference against the Co: n.laws, and expressed his opinion that Corn-law repeal was not a moral or a religions question, but a political question. The Marquis of Lansdowne on presenting a petition from the woollen manufacturers of Somersetshire and Wiltshire against the Corn-laws, drew their Lordships' attention to the disastrous state of the woollen manufacture, both in the North and West of Eng. land. Lord Ashburton was eloquent on the impropriety of alter. ing laws whenever the people were distressed, and expressed an opinion that the woollen manufacture was migrating from the west to the north of F9gland. After a brief discussion, the peti tion was laid on the table. Lord Clifford postponed a motion of which he had given notice concerning the Catholic clergy and the Governor of Madras till after Easter, but in doing so Made several observations on the case. Their Lordships adjourned before Seven o'clock till Thursday. In the Commons a great number of petitions were presented for the repeal of the Corn-laws. Lord Eliot, in reply to a question, stated that Government would give no pecuniary assistance towards making ra lvrays in Ireland, but it would encourage private enterprise to the utmost of its power. In reply to Lord Palmerston, Slr Robert Peel said that the treaty for the suppression of the slave trade was nut materially altered from the time at which it was originally agreed to, till it was signed, and that the_ ratifications were not to be exchanged till the 20th inst. Sir James Graham informed Lord Mahon that the number of convicts kept at home was diminishing ; that 1,000 had been sent to work at the fortress of Gibraltar; and that 1,900 or 1,500 more would be sent away this year. Sir R. Peel could give no information about Cabool, when asked, having just received his despatches. Lord Stanley obtained leave to bring in a Bill to appoint three Bishops and three Archdeacons to the West India islands, instead of one Bishop and two Archdeacons. Mr. Labouchere seconded the motion, it being one of those questions on which both parties agree. No opposition whatever was made. The new arrangement will entail no additional expense on the country. In a Committee of the whole House Mr. Gladstone explained the new commercial legislation which he proposes fur our colonial trade. It is somewhat similar to the Bill introduced last year by Mr. Labouchere. 'We shall print Mr. Gladstone's resolutions, and will not, therefore, now run the risk of misdescribing them. Mr. G. Palmer, a Tory, expressed hostility to the measure. Lord J. Russell defended Mr. Gladstone from his own friends, on the ground that the plan was like that introduced by Mr. La houchere. Mr. Wakley mocked at the Tories for introducing the Bill of th e Wh'gs. Sir Robert Peel said he had supported the measure of the last Government, and recommended the present measure to the favour. able consideration of the House. Mr. Labouchere approved of the plan. The resolutions will be discussed again on the 22d instant. Mr. Gladstone next moved for leave to bring in a Bill for the better regulation of railways. After a short debate, leave was given. Mr. Wallace moved an address to her Majesty, for an inquiry into the distress at Paisley, which the Hon. Member justly de scribed as very great, 17,500 persons receiving relief. Sir James Graham admitted the distress, and praised the good conduct of the people, who had suffered with such exemplary patience and fortitude ; but the Government had already received information of their condition from authentic sources, and he therefore opposed the ;notion. Sir Robert Peel, after several other Members had spoken, re commended Mr. Wallace to withdraw his 'notion, and not three Members to vote against it. Mr. W.illace consented, and withdrew his motion. The debate, however, is interesting, and worthy of being read. Mr. Godson obtained leave to bring in a Bill to secure the pro perty in copyrights. The Attorney-General obtained lea. e to bring in a Bill to amend the Municipal Act. On the motion for granting a supply to her Majesty, Mr. Wakley entered his protest against the manner in which the Queen's Speech had been framed in the present and former Sessions, and avowed his intention to move amendments in future, should the Speeches not be different, The House adjourned at Half.past Nine. MONEY— TRADE—COMMERCE. The debts and liabilities of the Tweed Bank are 300,0004, and somewhere about 10s. in the pound is expected to be paid. The fishing waters were set up for sale on Wednesday, but let by auc. tion for one year, there being no bidder. From the Report of the Manufacturers' Relief Committee, read at their meeting held yesterday, it appears that in the course of their charitable labours, the sum of 30,0001. has been distributed among the operatives of England and Scotland. BLI lOV. • It is in conte PU mplation C to widen MPß and improve the streets and lines in the neighbourhood of Shadwell and Wapping on the completion of the Thames Tunnel, which is rapidly approaching. I.:ZYZCTIONIBERING. The election for Dublin University will take place on Friday. The Solicitor-General is at present unopposed. The Committee of the Reform Association have recommended the Liberal party to refrain from bringing forward a candidate fur Liverpool during the present season of social depression and poll. tieal apathy; but chiefly because a contest would only force their adversaries to gratify the venal and corrupt among the electors. It appears from an address published by Mr. Rathbone, the Chairman of the Committee, that the venal freemen, at the election' in 1830, received bribes amounting to 19.600/., of which 4,5001, was paid by the Reformers, and 15,0004 by the Tories. Mr. George Arkwright was yesterday elected Member fan Leo minster, in the room of Air. Vice. Chancellor Wigram. Mr. Maclean's retirement from the representation of Oxford is rumoured. No new writ, it is understood, will be at present moved for in the borough of Southampton, in the room of Lord Bruce, now Earl of Elgin, as it is said his Lordship has given notice of legally try ing the question, whether or not, under the existing laws, a Mem ber of the House of Commons vacates his seat on_ succeeding to a Scotch Peerage. LITERARY AND SCIENTIFIC. The Esterhazys of Galantha, have been, from time immemorial, he highest Barons of Hungary. At one of their castles is seen reir genealogical tree; the basis of which is a recumbent man, out of wl.ich braz.ches the several lines of their warriors and stat. men. At Eisenstadt, the present Prince has a stronghold, palace., and troops of his own. The treasury of the house, which has ac cumulated forages, is administered by a council of six lawyers. SP'ORTIMTG. In addition to the office of Steward of Doncaster Races this year there are also several other nominations rendered vacant by the demise of the Duke of Cleveland. The Hon. Colonel Anson is likely to be the new Steward of the great meeting in the north. The horse of Mr. E. G. Cann, after a tremendous run of thirty minutes near Plymouth, performed the extraordinary leap of going over a hurdle of seven feet in perpendicular height, a feat aceuma. plished in gallant style. CIOURT--PASHIONABLE. It is not the intention of the Queen Dowager to reside again at Sudbury Hall ; and the furniture there will, in consequence, be re moved to Bushy or Marlborough House. Lord'and Lady Marybarough give a grand entertainment on Fri day week to the Duke of Cambridge. Lord Southampton is entertaining a distinguished party at Whit tlebury, Northamptonshire. Countess St. Aulaire arrived at Hertford House on Monday evening from earls. Viscount Alford is expected in town to-day from his seat in Northamptonshire. The Duke and Duchess of Buceleuch contemplate leaving Mon. ago House at the close of the season for Scotland. MIS C ZIMANEO The Forty-eighth Anniversary of the Licensed Victuallers' So. ciety was celebrated last evening, at White Conduit House, when between 400 and 500 gentlemen sat down to dinner. The Secretary read the Report, from which it appeared that since the establish. ment of this excellent Institution the enormous sum of 216,7451. had been distributed for different charitable purposes. On the motion of Mr. Ewart a return has been ordered by thel 101/Se of Commons of the number of persons executed, for al it London and Middlesex, during triennial periods from .821 up to 1839, together with the number of persons committed for murder in the same periods respectively. The solemnities observed on Ash Wednesday of old in the Church were severe and exemplary. Silence was obs , rved; com mon prayers used, and ashes and holy water sprinkled on the heads of the Monks, the l'ricsts saying, " Iteaumber you arc but dust, and to dust you must return." On this eveving, also, boys used to run about with firebrands and torches. A tire broke out at Drontheim on the 23d inst., when 300 houses and the hospital were consumed. The Lord Lieutenant of Ireland has issued a commission to in. quire into the state and circumstances of all the public charities in Dublin receiving Parliamentary aid, and the sums voted for the maintenance of which form a portion of the annual estimates. On Saturday morning last, the guard of the Limerick mail-coach was severely wounded on the Moneygall read, by a shot from a blunderbuss, discharged from behind a ditch. The splendid presents made to the Prince and Princess Esterhazy, arrived front Venice and Ratisbon, and displayed on Monday even. ing at Lady Jersel 's, were valued at 12,0001. The most magnifi cent were a beautiful tiara of the purest diamonds, and a rich necklace of pearls. The boy Jones has again vanished in a most mysterious manner. He left home in a clean chirt on Friday morning last, since when he has not been seen, though a letter has been received from him, bearing the Portsmouth post.mark, stating that he is going to sea again. The letter is supposed to have been writen at the dictation of others. We dare say that the boy will be again found shortly in Buckingham Palace. Mr, Maley, alluding to the recent railway accidents, observed last night in the House of Commons, that " when one or two Lords had lost their lives, the House would be disposed to sym pathise wills them; but until come noblemen had been •sacrificed //2,.d7w7A-tor (4,c "'VI:NINO SUN.

DitotcTirEnt, JAN. 213. —Yesterday evening a fire broke out here wl.ich, the wind from the south-east being pretty strong, destroyed about 300 houses, and the hospital; the church of the hospital was saved. The number of the suf ferers is twice as great as by the great fire which destroyed a part of the city on the 24th of April last year. The buildings are insured for 240,000 dollars.— Hamburyh Papers, Feb. 4. Mr. Sidney Smith has addressed a lever to us, but for which we have not room, complaining of a paragraph inserted in the Morning chronicle, alleging that a lecture, requested by the parishes of St. Martin's and St. Anne's, to be delivered by him at the Western Literary Institution on Friday, was for " hire." Mr. Smith denies the allegation, and states that all lecture's furnished by the Metropolitan Anti- Corn-law Associat ion, are provided without any charge whatever. 'lliac is very little doubt but that the vacant see of Ossory will be conferred upon the Venerable Archdeacon of Dublin, Dr. Torrent. The valuable living of St. Peter's, in this city, a ill fall to the Government, and the proper allocation of this causes the delay in the public announcement of the new bishop. The clergymen named are Doctors Elriegton, Vig mines, and Daly. The first is the choice of the Lord Primate; the second, the first chaplain to his Excellency, and Dean of the Chapel Royal ; the third, one of the litigant parties for the Deanery of St. Patrick.

Laforgue, of Montauban. WIGAN SCRUTINY.

The station-clerk considered this an offence against the Company, and the plaisitiff was Lakin before the Magistrate on a charge of stealing timber, and was sent to prison fur a short period. The present action was brought to re cover from the defendants damages for false imprisonment. The case was not coneuded when we went to press, and was' likely to occupy the Court the whole day.

Mr. CHAR:COCK, who appeared for the prisoner, strongly repro bated the practice of , eonstables interrogating persons whom they held in custody ; and contended that the prisoner and Ws corn. panion were drunk at the time, and mer e ly t oo k the Ws in a drunken frolic. The Jury having returned a verdict of Guilty, accompanied with recommendation to mercy, The CKAIRMLN said theoffence otwhich the prisoner was found guilty, was one which latterly had beconte very general through. out the county, and in all cases the Court was determined to trans port the ofTendet a ; but . in consequence of the recommendation of the Jury, he should be less severe with the prisoner, and serltence him to twelve calendar months' imprisonment with hard labour.

Suspicion having fallen upon the prisoner, a search warrant was issued, and her father's house searched, when, upon examining her dresses, which were packed in a box, the scissors dropped from a gown upon being unfolded, The police. man who executed the warrant, said the scissors dropped in such a manner as to induce a belief in the prisoner's statement, that they accidentally were mixed tip with the clotheewhen packing up her box after leaving her situation at Captain Belsted's.
