This theatre was opened last evening f or th e of a series of concerts; "under the direction of a ,t of professors, whose object is to perform woi ks of the highest order, both choral and instrumental." The principal vocalists engaged are Miss Birch, Mi mi Dolby, Mr. Hobbs, Mr. Giubilei and Mr. H. Phillips. The band and chorus consist of 140 performers, with Messrs. C. Lucas and H. Westrop as con ductors, Mr. Willy as leader of the band, and Mr. Green as director of the choruses. The follow ing programme of the concert of last evening will show that in this their first concert the Directors of these performauces have fully redeemed their pledge of presenting to the public works of the highest orc er, both choral and instrumental?'

Grand March and Chorus, from " The Ruins of Athens.—Beethoven. _ _ _ We have before had occasion to speak of the beauties of that sublime composition, the Stabat Mater of Rossini. On the present occasion those beauties were fully developed. The magnificent 5010,..`.' Vidit sewn," with the chorale, without instrumental accompaniment, was given with exquisite taste and propriety by Guibilci. This solo and chorus was encored, as was the " Inflammatus et accensus " of Miss Birch, which was given with great power and exquisite feeling. The succeeding . quartet, " Quando corpus morietur," the music of which is most touchingly expressive, was given with exquisite taste, feeling, and correctness. The effect of the passage " Paradisi gloriam," was soul-thrilling. Weber's•magnificent overture " Ruler of the Spirits," with which the second part commenced, was per formed with admirable propriety and correctness, and was rapturously encored. The oboe solo, par ticularly, was given with exquisite taste. Bennett's old Madrigal, which conjured up to our imagination visions of Crosby Hall—the olden time, when England was a music-loving and music-understanding nation, and when the lords of that splendid old hall assembled round the composers of those melodious madrigals which formed the delight of our forefathers in the days of the good Queen Bess-L-, Bennett's old Ma drip' was performed in a style which would have delighted their ears, and have made them imagine that they were again living in the ‘days of " a courtier of the olden time of the Queen s old courtier." The repetition of .the Madrigal was. -called for, as was the repetition. of Weber's beautiful song, "Oh ! Araby, ' by 'Miss Dolly. The lovers of scientific harmony had a rich treat in the septett, and Handers glorious laughing song and chorus, ' Haste thee, Nymph," came a seasonable relief to the more serious performances. This was not only sung, but acted by H. Phillips in excellent style. He seemed the very personification;of " Sport that wrinkled care derides, And Laughter holding both hiS sides." He was rapturously applauded, and loudly encored. It is a curious circumstance that in this concert, while the serious and sacred. portion was the compo sition of Rossini, the only buffo song in troduced should be by Handel. This shows the universality of genius, and how little those w h o would fain have it " crib bed, cabined, and confined " within the narrow limits of their own powers, are capable of understanding its nature or appreciating its works. Nevertheless, it is a curious coincidence that, in this concert the composer of the Barbiere should have furnished the serious portion, and the composer of the Messiah the comic ; that the humour of Handel should relieve the gravity of Rossini. The triumph of the evening was certainly the song " Sweet bird," by Miss Birch, with the flute obligate. by Mr. Carte. Her tones, like those of the sweet bird of which she sang, were indeed " most musical," and 'beautifully melodious also was the accompaniinent of Mr. Carte. We have never heard this most beautiful specimen of " music married to immortal verse" more beautifully given than it was last evening. We observe that during the course of these concerts we are to have Beethoven's " Mount of Olives," and Spohr's "Fall of Babylon ;" the latter oratorio to be produced under the direction of Professor Taylor. We hail the un dertaking as a proof of the progress of the restora tion of musical taste in England, and as a means of forwarding that progress. Ten years since a series of popular concerts of such high order would not have been dreamt of. Music such as that of last evening was then confined to the Ancient Concerts and the Philharmonic. Such, however, is not the case at pre sent. Music, like painting and literature, is po pularizing itself, and as painting and literature have succeeded, so will music succeed. Mu sical professors are beginning to find out the secret, that the public is tlt best patron. The Di rectors of these concerts are sowing the good seed which will hereafter bear fruit. llonour,to them for their exertions, and success to the praiseworthy un- . dertaking. No. 15,660.

PRESENTATION OF THE LORD MAYOR ELECT FOR THE APPROVAL OF HER MAJESTY. GREAT WESFERN SIEAM-SHIP. (From the Bristol Mirror.) The Great Western Steam-ship Company, from:the best information we can collect, lost a sum conside rably above 3,0001., through the statements of the press in September last. An article in the Liverpool Albion on that occasion informed the public, that " there was every probability of the Great Western's being obliged to discontinue running bet Ween this ' country and America." The London Times adopted this paragraph, and the newspapers of the United States, in a variety of forms, with all dispatch, re peated the statement after the Boston boat arrived. In October, just previously to the steamer's starting from Liverpool, on the 19th instant, the Liverpool Albion has another paragraph, which no unprejudiced person can read without admitting that its inferences are, that the Boston boat, which followed the Great Western in eighteen hours from Liverpool, in Sep tember, and in forty-eight hours from' Boston, in October, made shorter passageS than the Great West ern. Capt. Claxton having, as is most likely, the fear of the further consequences in th e U n it e d States be fore his eyes, and being aware, as most people are, that our "go a-head friends there. prefer the fastest vessels, very properly comes out with - a statement to show that injustice was done to the Great Western. The Times adds a long note to this letter of Captain Claxton's, and there the matter would possibly have rested, Captain Claxton's object having probably been to disseminate, as quickly as possible through the United -States, 11 4. 1 #4(50 to tll P9I I IPAY taken out by the mail-boat, through that Widelpcir culating and far-spreading journal. The Liverpool Albi.on, whose editor is the agent of the Times, has since . come forward to eulogise that journal, and somewhat coarsely to attack Captain Claxton, and hence it is that we are induced to say a few words if only for our local readers, and particularly such as are in the habit of reading the Times. THE AFFAIRS OF GERMANY. FRANKFORT, OCT. 23.—The meeting of the Stand• ing Com:nittees of the Prussian Provincial:Estates at Berlin could not but excite the serious attention of neighbouring lands, more especially if it assumed the form, for which the nation has long been clamorous, of a virtual representation of the people. Such a step taken on the part of the King of Prussia would raise the power of the nation, by the necessary infusion of public spirit which it would cause, to a height formi dable for all rivals, but especially for those who retail' despotic forms. Indeed, as a consequence of the ne cessity Austria would be under to follow, if not to an ticipate, such a measure, it is worthy of remark that this year, for the first time, the fact of the assembling of the Austrian provincial diets (which meet for one day to hear the list of taxes decreed by the Crown read to them, and then dissolve without making com ment) was pompously announced in the newspapers. It would seem from this, that if the great Chancellor did not think it necessary to take any more decided step to counteract the innovations at Berlin, he yet thought it advisable to be prepared for consequences which those innovations, however, unexpectedly, might bring with them or lead to. The Committees have been assembled since the 18th inst. Their meeting was not opened by the King in person, and although the rescript ordering them to be summoned is couched in terms of con siderable latitude, yet it neith-r fixes a right nor pro mises a periodical term for their assembling in future. _The King declares his wish to consult thorn when the opinions or the provincial Diets differ bn points-of,ge neral interest; when in the drawing up of laws new points of difficulty occur that were not submitted to the provincial Diets in the original discussions ; further, when new laws are projected, the opinion of the Com mittees will be taken on their necessity and tendency; and, lastly, measures of general interest, which were hitherto not submitted to the provincial Diets, will be laid before them. This declaration affords a wide scope for the operations of a body of Representatives, if the whole were not neutralized by the condition ,that they are only to be consulted on these points when the King shall think it necessary, which, of course, means that they will only be assembled as long as they behave well, and give the Crown no trouble. The introduction of such a clause, and the strict pre scription of the subjects to which they are to confine their discussions, or rather deliberations, were naturally sufficient guarantees both to Russia and Austria, that little or no moral influence would be gained by this mode of developing the representative institutions of Prussia. It is notorious that although the late King bound himself by the most sacred promises not to break his compact with the Provincial Estates re specting the enlargement of the national debt, as guardians to which men in high office were sworn in 1820, no scruple was felt at adopting the subterfuge of the " sea company," in whose name a loan was con tracted of a large amount. It has recently been shown that the amount of crown lands sold annually far exceeded the sum which it was then agreed should be appropriated to the yearly redemption of the na tional debt ; while the budgets published by the Mi nistry of the Finances have been shown to be falsified for the purpose of concealing these and other prac tices from the nation. Lastly, the want of an effi cient control has been glaringly evinced by the detection of most extensive frauds committed on the State by the public servants in certain depart ments, which were carried on through a series of years without detection, and in which men of rank and of high standing in the service are said to be im plicated. That under these circumstances a mere promise to consult such a body as is now assembled at the convenience of the Crown should be considered as an empty show of liberality, of as little advantage to the King as to the nation, is natural, and I am sorry to say that this is here the general opinion. The manner in which the Assembly is constituted Yesterday the Lord Mayor Elect was presented by the Recorder of the City of London to the Lord Chamberlain, for the purpose of being approved of as Chief Magistrate, by the Queen. The Lord Mayor Elect was accompanied by Alderman Gibbs, Sir George Carroll, Sir Chapman Marshall, Sheriffs Hooper and Pilcher, the Comptroller, the Solicitor, and several other of the principal officers of the Cor: poration. They were received in the most polite manner by the Lord Chancellor. The RECORDER in introducing the Lord Mayor Elect, said, "My Lord, I Ime the honour to present to your Lordship John Humphery, Esq., elected by the citizens of London to fill the office of Lord Mayor for the ensuing year. I hereby certify toyour Lordship that the laws, customs, and charter of the City, have been duly observed in the election of this gentleman. Mr. Humphery was born and has parsed the greater portion of his life within the borough of Southwark, and, consequently, in the immediate ,vicinity of the City of London. He is directly descended, in the female line, from Sir William Webbe, Lord Mayor of London in the reign of Queen Elizabeth, his an cestor having filled the office is the year 1591. Mr. Humphery had attracted the attention of the • citizens of London in the diligent and successful care of his business and mercantile pursuits, and was elected one of the Sheriffs of London in 1832, and in the same year became one of the -representativesin Parliament for the borough of Southwark. At the close of his Shrievalty Mr. Humphery received the marked approbation of his fellow-citizens conveyed in the unanimous vote of thanks of the Livery of London in Common Hall assembled, and, upon a vacancy occasioned by the death of Mr. Alderman Thorpe, Mr. Humphery was elected by the inhabitant householders of the Ward of Aldgate into the office of Alderman of the Ward, a post which he has occu pied to the present time. Fronk the year 1832 he has enjoyed the distinction of representing his native place in four successive Parliaments. The citizens oflon don entertain the confident expectation that the ex perience and habits of business he has acquired as a merchant, a Magistrate, and a Member of Parlia- • ment, will enable him to discharge, with honour to himself and with advantage to the community, the important duties of Chief Magistrate of their ancient city. They have elected him in the full persuasion that he whom they have chosen will set an example in his person of loyalty to his Sovereign, will piously and faithfully administer the laws of his country, and preserve the peace of the metropolis; that he will up • hold the dignity of his statioL, and zealously maintain the privileges of his fellow-citizens, and upon these grounds, in their name, and in their behalf, I now humbly crave her Majesty's most gracious approbation of the choice the citizens have made of Mr. Hum phery, their Lord Mayor Elect." .. The LORD CHANCELLOR said he felt much grati fication in announcing her Majesty's approbation of the choice made by the citizens of London of a Lord Mayor for the year ensuing, and her perfect convic tion that Mr. Humphery would satisfactorily perform the duties of the office to which his fellow-citizens had elected him. tIOTOGRAPIIY.

VATIONAL LOAN FUND LIFE A6bUlt- ANCE SOCIETY, That paper tells us that " a Shareholder," believing the whole concern to be going to the dogs, furnished his agent with the article. A wise measure ' truly, of advancing his interest, unless the said "Share holder" were paid more for the article than his stake in the Company was worth, from the small amount of that interest. The Times is greatly praised by the Liverpool Albion, and its remarks called " complete." We wonder whether that " completeness" applies to the following passage, which we extract under the hope that some one may help us to its meaning—" If the Great Western lost passengers by the inference of the Shareholders, that she would not probably sail again to New York, there was not and could not be the slightest wish to injure the Great Western !! !" We do not understand it, notwithstanding it is so clear to our Contemporary of Liverpool. We wrote (says the Albion) as historians, not as partisans. We tell him the simple comparison of a place off Liverpool " equal to the run to Bristol" proves the case to have been otherwise, or lets out the . secret. Captain Claxton, if he takes our advice, will not attempt to argue the matter further. He can have no chance against a principal in London and a Contemporary at Liverpool, the one commanding a daily (and such a daily !) and the other a weekly journal. The Great Western's performances speak for themselves, and we sincerely hope a good round sthe sum may be obtained for her throug h her excellen cies, which this very attack has ren dered more appa rent. We cannot conclude our remarks wit ho ut stating to competing this vessels,thi a nd at the expense of third time that inferences favourable the Great Western, have been drawn through the London journals, and that it is, i n our opinion, the duty of Captain Claxton to be watchful. It is cer tainly extremely hard that the only Atlantic steamer and that, too, the one whose success led the way to the establishment of the several lines now steaming), which up to this moment is ploughing the Atlantic unsupplied by public money in the form of Govern ment grants, should not meet with fair support from the public Press.

GREVILLE- The Lord Mayor took occasion, in the course of yesterday, to mention in the Justice-room that he had called public attention to the letter of a benevolent individual, inclosing Si. for the use of the admirable institution in Greville-street, which was soon to be transferred to the spacious building in Gray's Inn lane, in which Messrs. Seddon formerly carried on their business. He had ascertained through innu• merable channels that the amount of good accom plished by that charity, although confined and fettered in its resources, was incalculable, and he should feel the greatest pride in rendering service to it now that a grand experiment was about to be made by the Di rectors to extend its benefits. It.was, therefore, with the most earnest anticipation of a bountiful subscrip tion in aid of the noble efforts of those who had nourished the hospital into an existence which pro mi..ed to be durable, he appealed to the friends of diseased and prostrate indigence. It was at the close of a year of office, during which Providence had been pleased to grant him health, that he solicited the as sistance of those beneficent persons with whom the metropolis abounded, to advance the objects of an in stitution calculated and intended to bestow upon mul titudes that greatest of blessings. He called upon those who were capable of estimating the value of an establishment, the doors of which were open to the most miserable outcast every hour in the twenty-four, and in which skill and humanity were combined in the most powerful manner to arrest and con quer the progress of disease. His Lordship felt convinced that the publication of two letters which he just laid his hands upon, would be followed by a flourishing announcement of subscriptions, and thus enable him to congratulate himself upon closing the painful labours of his magisterial office by rendering a benefit to the masses of his fellow creatures who were in want of medical aid and humane treatment in every part of the metropolis. It was with genuine pride he looked at the glorious results produced by the great hospitals, so long established in London, and that feeling as increased when he beheld the labo rious exertions made in Greville-street Hospital, to soothe those agonies which " stay upon the body long to the surprise and grief of nature. The following are the letters to which his Lord ship alluded. That subscribed " M." had been sent to the Times newspaper, accompanied with a request that it might be transmitted to the Lord Mayor:— " Mr LORD—Havini read the letter addressed to your Lordship by riend in Need,' describing the prompt and spirited conduct of the Governors of the Greville-street Hospital, and feeling they deserve the support of all who are blessed with the means, I follow the example of your former Correspondent, and inclose a 51. note in aid of that charity, in full assurance that many have done and will do likewise.—l am, my Lord, your Lordship's obedient servant. Ci M . " To the Right Hon. the Lord Mayor." "Mr LORD--I so heartily respond to the senti ments of A Friend in Need,' whose letter, through your Lordship's notice, has met publicity, on the in calculable benefits arising from the Royal Free Hos pital, in Greville-street, that I heg to make your Lordship a medium of the inclosed 51., as much with a view to favour his appeal in its behalf, as with an earnest desire that the example may influence others; also from the facility of making a contribution direct to the Hospital, it might be justly argued 4 how un necessary to trouble your Lordship.'

Spankie has long been known as one of the leading barristers in the Court of Common Pleas. He commenced his 1 career on the Morning Chronicle (then the p ro p ert y of Mr. Perry) nearly half a century sin ce, and was m considered one of the best Parliamentary reporters of his day. He was for some years the editor of the Morning.; Chronicle, and in that capacity wrote some of the most masterly articles which ever appe ared in the columns of a newspaper. He resigned that situa tion on his being called to the bar in 1808. 'Having strong interest at the India House (through h is mar riage) he was appointed Attorney-General of Ben g al, and repaired to India, wher e he practised w ith the greatest success, and was rapidl y sna king a fortune, when he was seized with an aff ec ti on o f the liver, and compelled to return to England to save his life. Having recovered his health at home he was appointed standing-counsel to the East India Company, a situa tion of a very lucrative nature. He was a powerful and clever speaker, but though his elocution was clear and distinct, his Scotch accent was disagreeably harsh. As a lawyer he was not considered of the first order. On the passing of the Reform Bill, Mr. Spankie con tested the representation of Finsbury, on which occa sion he was returned with the Right Hon. R. Grant, the unsuccessful candidates being Messrs. Babbage, Wakley, and Temple. Mr. Spankie wrote one of the very best pamphlets in favour of Parliamentary Re form, and entered the House of Commons as a Re former, but occasionally voted with the Opposition. On the dissolution , in 1835 , he was ejected by the present Member, T. S. Duncomb e, + E sq. The deceased married a daughter of Mr. Manning, a London mer chant, by whom be has left a large family.

Even those American writers who' had most warmly advocated the tariff, seem to admit its failure as a measure of revenue; and they now suggest that the deficiency in the public income shall be made up by additional taxes on the import of tea, coffee, sugar, and other necessaries of life; and, if necessary, by internal taxation. We have reason to know that preparations have already been mad e for carrying on a considerable smuggling trade through Canada; and nothing but the great probability of --‘ an early modi fication of the tariff prevents those preparations from' being very greatly extended.

The sore feeling of the Germans at thus being held up to their neighbours to be scoffed at cannot be described, but of course will have its due influence in encouraging the French to pursue their intriguing aggressive commercial policy towards Belgium, which, although the violent advo cates of commercial policy in the German press first chalked out the proceeding, is felt now to be virtually a move upon the Rhine. Russia, too, will of course use little ceremony with a rival so circumstanced; and a report is already abroad that orders have been given on the Polish frontier to act as if no cartel Convention had been concluded, and to refuse re-ad mission into,the empire to all deserters or criminals who might be seized and sent back by the Prussian police.

(From the Farmer's Magazine.) This has proved one of the finest months for farm labours recollected at any corresponding period of the year. In its early part, and up to the 20th, scarcely any rain fell in England, which gave the farmers an excellent opportunity for ploughing the land destined to be sown with autumn wheat, while, in some instan ces, the process of seeding was much retarded in high situations, in consequence of the soil becoming too dry for that purpose. However, the fine rains which have fallen since the above day, have enabled our when growers to proceed rapidly with that operation, and it may, we think, be fairly presumed, that at least three- I fourths of the winter wheats have been already sown under the most favourable auspices, and no doubt ap pears to be entertained that a general conclusion will be arrived at in the course of the next fortnight. The plants which have appeared above ground exhibit a very strong and healthy appearance, and we hail the present position of things — i.e. in relation to culture— the harbinger of good crops for the ensuing season. So e s occasions, n ale form the much time having been occupied in the fields, the flail and thrashing-machine have not been in quite so much quan tity of wheat, barley, and oats thrashed out has sufficientlyrbeeqeunisitiona as on so lamrege pre to previous enable something like an adequate opinion of the actual produce of this years' 3 cro . We statement have all along given our t 2 to the effect that those of wheat have amounted to nearly a fair average ; and that those of other kinds of grain have proved great, and now we see no reason whatever to alter that which we have before ad vanced. Of course, it will be understoOd that we are speaking in reference to the whole of England, since, otherwise, two or three counties might be pointed out in which a considerable defficiency of supply is found to exist. Eor instance, in Essex, the yield of wheat is much less than usual ; but take England as a whole we think it will be found about equal to what we have stated. As to the quality of the grain, this is fine in the extreme, which circumstance cannot fail to be of vast importance to our growers.. The early time at which harvest commenced this year hiving prevented the total exhaustion of the stocks of old grain, samples of it are still to be met with not only at Mark-lane, but also in most of our large country markets, the quality of which is repre sented as fine, yet we do not consider there is any abundance of it, and that it will be worked off in the ensuing month appears pretty certain. Notwithstandinw the pressure of the times, we un derstand the breadth of land under wheat culture this season, is much larger, on a comparison, than was that of last year; and the fortunate circumstance of get ting it finished early, and in the best possible condi tion, renders future prospects, in this particular, cheering. Although the turnip crop this season is large, we find the quality to be unusually inferior, caused, in a area t measure, by the dryne ss of the summer months. 'As to the other available supges of winter food for fattening stock we learn that it is good, with the exs ception of hay. The epidemic has been again raging to some extent in our grazing districts, yet the losses sustained have not been of any great moment.

SUMMONS FOR "CALLS." - At the Stockport Police Court, on SatUrday, the overseers of the poor for that township appeared, by Mr. Tate, the poor-rate col lector, to answer the complaint of the Board of Guar dians, and to show cause why an order should not be made upon them for the payment of the sum of 2,6091. 1 ls. 4d., being arrears of " calls" made upon them for the relief of the poor. Mr. Tate informed the Bench that the neglect arose from a want of funds ; but he thought the amount could be Taised in the course of a fortnight or three weeks, as a new rate of two shillings in the pound had recently been granted. An order was made for payment within twenty-one .days.-- Manchester Guardian. Mr. Higgs held an inquest yesterday evening upon the body of Thomas Kimber, aged 48, formerly tailor and draper, but latterly a commercial agent, in Tot tenham-court-road. Thomas Jones Rowe, 55 Thames Police, said that he found the deceased yesterday morning, about half-past three o'clock, lying athwart the chain of the police barge Investigator, which is moored between Strand-19e and Arundel stairs. He towed the deceased ashore to the latter place, and, on examination, found only a pocket-book, some loose papers, a comb, and some tobacco upon him. From the addresses upon the papers the deceased's friends and relatives were traced. Mr. Burrows, of 15, Fludyer-street, Westminster, said that deceased and himself had been drinking till a few minutes before twelve the preceding evening, in the Hampshire Hog, Charles-street, and he accompanied him as far as Whitehall, when he left him, after making an appoint.. ment to see him early in the firming. He (deceased) was then a little tipsy, but not much so. Deceased appeared in good spirits. Mr. Fox, of the Hampshire Hog, confirmed the preceding witness.

The supplies that have come to hand have met a dull sale, in consequence of their abun dance and the immense supplies of vegetables on offer, while the prices realised have been very unremune rative. This has proved a most abundant hop season, both as regards quantity and quality. This abundance has had a serious effect upon prices, both in the Borough and at the provincial fairs and markets. The growth being pretty well ascertained, the duty is freely backed at 160,0001., which stun will, we think, be re. alised. The official announcement is expected to be made in a few days. Our advices from Scotland are satisfactory. Most of the autumn wheat has been already sown, while the fine frosty weather has greatly improved the con dition of the new grain. Increased supplies of corn have been on sale in the principal markets, while the general demand has ruled heavy, at drooping cur rencies. In Ireland, even in its most northern part, harvest has been brought to a close. The abundance of the crops this year leads us to suppose that that will be an exporting, instead of an importing country, during the next seaaon. In the different markets the demand has ruled dull at lower figures. A UDITORS Professor Wheatstone, F. R.S. irofes,or Graves, A.M.F.R. S. ACTUARY-W. S. B. Woolhouse, Esq., F. 11. A. S. PHYSICIAN—J.

Copy of a Letter addressed by Trevor Holland, Esq., Surgeon, of Carmock, near Walsall, Staffordshire, on the 6th July last, to the Miter of the " Times :" . " Sir,—l think it a duty I owe to the public to make known the efficacy of a remedy which I met with accidentally, and which has been of such wonderful benefit to myself. Some months ago I met with a very severe accident, having dislo cated and fractured my ancle severely. From the great tender ness of the joint I was quite unable to walk, the limb con tinued very much swollen and adematons, and I suffered dreadfully from severe attacks of spasms in the night, which extended from the ancle to the leg, thigh, back, and to the arms. Having exhausted every resource of relief which I and my medical friends in the country could suggest, to no purpose, I set out for London with the intention of con sulting Sir Benjamin Brodie or Mr. Liston—then to adopt sea bathing. Ily accident I met with Mr. Feaver, 16 Ludgate-hill, who applied his Embrocation, and, to my great astonishment, I had no spasm that night, nor have I had one since. The next Morning I came down stairs without my crutches, and was able to walk, the swelling of the limb soon subsided, and 1 am now rapidly recovering. Having for many years had an ex tensive medical practice in the county of Stafford, I know of no medicinal compound possessing such wonderful efficacy. In adding my testimony to 11Ir. leaver's Embrocation, I am ac tuated by no other motive than gratitude to him, and a sincere desire to make known his invaluable remedy to my fellow-suf ferers. Possessing, as I ever did; the strongest prejudice against everything in the shape of quackery, I should be the last man to uphold a system which, generally speaking, I know to be nothing but a nefarious traffic and humbug.

At the various consuitations held up3n my case, the Surgeons and physicians (including myself) were decidedly of opinion that the frequent violent attacks of spasms would ter. minate in lock-jaw, but, as I have before stated.

SMUGGLING ON THE FRONTIER.—We understand that, under the present high tariff, great apprehensions are entertained that smuggling will grow up on the Canadian frontier to a great extent. To watch and prevent this . deplorable result, the Treasury Depart ment has appointed Mr. T. N. Parmlee, agent, on a secret mission to the lines, to watch, detect, and defeat such infraction of the laws. He has just returned from Canada, where .he has discovered vast preparations making to smuggle all kinds of goods into the United States, at various points of the lines.—New York He rald. [What will the Northern and Western States say to the expense of . preventing smuggling? Let them look at the per centage at which the revenue is collected.] A preliminary meeting of the leading members of the Chartist body in London, was held last evening at the Crown and Anchor Tavern, for . the purpose of considering the propriety of getting up a public meet ing in order " that public sympathy might not only be directed to the expenditure incurred by the working people tried at the late Special Commission, but to the many families left all but friendless ; and, also, to make preparations for the trials to come on at the next assizes." Mr. Cleave took the chair, and shortly explained the object of the meeting. It was finally determined that a meeting should be held in the large ro nn of the Crown and Anchor Tavern, on Tuesday, thl 15th instant, at half-past seven in the evening, and that Mr. T. S. Duncombe be requested to preside. A resolution was pased fixing the price of admission to the meeting at a shilling- each to the platform, and twopence each to the body of the meeting. LOCHM4HEN.—At the annual election of the Ma gistrates and Council of the burgh of Lochmaben, held on the 29th of September, the Council unani mously.resolved to tender their best thanks to David Johnstone, Esq., of Riggheads, ruling elder to the last General Assembly, for the constitutional views he supported on that occasion, and for his independent and Christian conduct in going to Strathbogie and assisting the minister of Ithynie.,. and the Provost was instructed to convey th e thanks of he meeting INCordingly...-45Votoh Paper. :.:; PRICE sd.

CITY, WEDNESDAY EVENING. • CIIIIIDIVICUE.-1t is stated in the amounts kW received from the United States, that then of all pm:- ties and classes are beginning to occupy themselves seriously in the consideration of plans for the restora• tion of State credit, as the best means of restoring the general prosperity. We hail this movement as the dawning of better days, both for America and for England, and we rejoice that it should come from the people generally, the source of all power in the States. It will render the measures adopted more certain in their effects, and more honourable to the Federal Re public. The credit of America being restored, and our Corn-laws placed on a proper footing, the two countries may begin together a long career of prosperity. We understand that the State of Illi nois, which has been so much embarrassed by vast undertakings of canals and railroads, is making an effort with the view of paying a part of the interest on her debt due in January. This is beginning the right way, and will, we hope, be met by proper en couragement on the part of the European capitalists interested in her stock. A curious and interesting tribute has lately been rendered to Illinois. An As sociation has been formed in Ireland under the auspi ces of that excellent person, Father Mathew, (who has, perhaps, done more for his countrymen than any man living), for promoting the comfort and well be ing of Irishmen, wishing to emigrate to foreign coun tries. In the prospectus of the Association the States of Illinois is recommended, not only on account of its fertile prairies and fine climate, but for the efforts she is making to fulfil the obligations of good faith. The good priest would not have recommended Irishmen to adopt a State, as their future country, whose name might become a bye-word and a reproach to their children's children. Illinois may yet take the start of her elder sister, Pennsylvania, who has immense resources, and, as we understand, a most respectable rural population, but cursed, in the first instance, with speculative financiers, the authors of her misfor tunes, and now with manoeuvring politicians, who think more of their own little objects than the most important interests of the State. HERALD.—Among the Custom-house frauds which are now the subject of conversation, and of which instances can now be produced in almost every trade by those familiar with the current workings of their own special vocation, may be noticed the extent to which tobacco, in the shape of Bengal and Manilla cheroots, has been ,regularly, not smuggled, but openly though fraudulently introduced through the Custom-house. It is well known how insignificant is the quantity of these cheroots regularly entered and passed for duty through the Customs, not more it is stated than a few cases yearly, though not having the import tables at hand for the moment the exact quan tity cannot be verified. And yet there can be no question, or at least there is none in the trade, that from 40 to 50 tons enter into the annual consumption of the kingdom. The duty stands at the rate of 9s. Gd. per lb., whilst the sale price of the article without duty rules only generally about Is. Gd. per lb. Instances are, however, quoted of purchases at a much lower rate of price than what the duty alone would ,amount to, where the parcel purchased was actually cleared through the Custom-house to the purchaser by the vendor. Of course it was well understood both on one side and the other how the business was adjusted and the discrepancy of values reconciled. The revenue is thus 'defrauded to an enormous extent, as compared with the amount of the traffic and consumption, for the duty exigible on each ton legally passed should be above 1,0001. SUN.—The Stock market assumed more firmness after our morning report, in consequence of purchases of .50,0001. stock by Messrs. Cole, the Government brokers, besides investments by other parties of 10,0001., and in one case of 100,0001. Money to-day was a complete drug, and this also had its influence on prices, which closed generally higher. Consols were 931 to 93i for money and time; Exchequer Bills 57 to 59 premium ; New Three-and-a-Half per Cents. 1011} to 101 f ; and the Three per Cents. 92i to 93. Bank Stock was at 166. The Foreign Bonds were more saleable also, and improved in value. Mexican brought 32, Chilian touched 85, and Spanish Actives 18. In Shares there was no particular increase of busi ness after our statement in the evening. Brighton were 13i discount, Great Western, 19 and Bir mingham 91i premium. Union Bank of Australia New Shares were 8 premium. We have heard no accounts yet of the British Queen. regon SINGULAR OCCURRENCE AT IIOUNSLOW , AND PRO - I VIDENTIAL ESCAPES.—FOT some days past consider- ' able excitement has existed throughout the neigh bourhood of Hounslow, in consequence of the circu ltaitoi u o n n s o l o f w a - report l, t l o i n a t e a o t f the recent t e a s s ei nb l Bth Royal Hussare (now quartered at Hounslow barracks), for manceuvring on the Review-ground, n had fired ball cartridge instead of blank cartridge, and that several persons had, i n co consequence, while pur suing their daily occupations fields, &c., most • miraculously escaped being shot. From inquiries made by our reporter at Hounslow, we have. ascertained that ' the report is substantially correct. On the day in question, while the troops were skirmishing, Nlr. Brainbridge, an extensive miller, whose mill and pr em i ses stand on the right side of the high road, was engaged within his pre mises near the gate, with two of his men, superintend ing the carting of dung, and was standing at the [ horse's head, when he was alarmed by the whiz of a ball, which fortunately passed between his own and the horse's head, and lodged in the wall of a cottage behind, where it still remains. The horse instantly reared its head and became almost unmanageable, but was quickly se cured, and within the room of the cottage, the wall of which was struck, were two females and seven chil dren, who were greatly alarmed by the circumstance, the ball being forced full three inches into the wall. The ball in question had, in its progress crossed the high road; and, it is believed, from the inquiries that have been made, that five balls, in the whole, are known to have passed over the road. The miller represented to the Colonel in command the providenhat - tial escape he and other person s had had, when t officer summoned the whole of the officers to his pre sence, and acquainted them with the circumstance, whon, from the inquiry made, and the position from which the balls came, it was considered that they must have been fired by one of the privates of the E troop, doing duty at Hampton Court Palace, whi ther the troop had returned. Two orderlies were in stantly dispatched to Hampton Court, with orders to search the men, and they returned to the barracks with the suspected private in custody, but nothing was found upon him to prove the truth of the suspi cion,s and after a searching interrogatory he wa libe rated, and sent back to his troop. It is said that during the firing one of the sergeant-majors was heard to say, " There goes a shot," and b per sons it is considered that the shots were Y. some Intended for one of the officers, but upon what ground s such a sus picion is entertained has not transpired.
