Berners-street, Ox ford -street, continues: to restore DECAYED TEETH with his MINERAL SUCCEDANEUM, without pain or pres. sure, and fastens loose teeth, whether arising from age, neg- Icet, or disease of the gums. Mr. Thomas's new method of ' 4 PPlling the loss of teeth, by self-adhesion, without springs °r vci , -es, end without extracting any teeth or stumps.—They are so fixed as to fast, n any loose teeth by forming a new gum where the gums have shrunk, from the use of calomel or other causes. The teeth are of an entirely new description; they will never decay, or become discoloured, and will always appear as well as when first paced in the mouth, and are less expen- SivP than anv teeth. Their exact resemblance to nature defies detection even by the most intimate friend. Air. Thomas, Surgeon. Dentist, 68, Berner's-street, Oxford street. At home frc,m 10 6115.

IN THE COUNTY OF CORK, within an Hour's Ride cf the City.—Valuable Fee-Simple Estates, let at Head Rents. lu MR. W. W. SIIVIPSON has received direc tions to SELL by AUCTION, at the Imperial Hotel ; Cork, in February next, in Four Lots (unless pre viously disposed of by Private Contract), Exceed,ngly valuable and desirable ESTATES, comprising the LANDS of KN — CKABEHY, GREENFORT, and MONELAGHY, containing 1,200 statute acres, let on lease for lives, renewable for ever, to J. Travers, Esq„ at the very low resit of 6701. 10s. per annum; and tile lands of Knocka lyra, containing 450 acres, let on lease, for a long term at a head rent of 931. a-year. The above valuable property is eligibly situated within a few miles of the City of Cork, and is separated from the demesne of Blarney Castle by the beau tiful Glen of Blarney. The immediate tenants are highly re spectable, and thesub-tenants and occupiers are of lung standing, industrious, and peaceable, indeed there is not a pauper on the estate. Also the LANDS of KILCLOUGH and NIONEVAN SHEER;comprisina 600 acres, situated at the bridge of Bally vedane, on the river'Sharnack, about two miles from Cork let on lease (granted in 1770), which has only 17 years to run,. at a rent of 2101. per annum, hut of the value of 5001. per annum, and the LANDS of BALLYFADEEN-BEG, con taining 233 statute acres, situated - near the last, and let on lease for one existing life aitd 21 years afterwards, at 129/.-per annum, but of the estimated value of 2501. per annum. Particulars and plans are in preparation, and may shortly be had ; in the meantime applications may be made to James Lane, Esq., Solicitor, South Mall, Cork; or to Mr. W. W. Simpson, 18, Bucklersbury, London. IRELAND.-COUNTY OF LIMERICK AND BARONY OF KENRY. Extensive and Valuable Fee-Simple Estates, within about Seven Miles of the City of Limerick, and midway between Askeaton and Adair. . _ R. W. W. SIMPSON has received direc tions from the Noble Proprietor to SELL by AUC TION, at the Commercial Buildings, Dublin, in February next (unless acceptable offers be made for the ehtire property, or portions thereof, in the interval), Valuable ESTATES, comprising altogether 7,294 statute acres of very superior arable, meadow, and pasture land, chiefly let on old leases, to a highly respectable, thriving, and, in many instances, opulent tenantry, at very low tents, amounting to 6,8351. per annum ; but, on the expiration of the existing leases, a rental of upwards of 10,0001. pei annum may be fairly calculated. The situation of this property is eligible in the extreme, being bounded on the north by the navigable river Shannon. The lands are proverbial for their depth of staple, the soil consisting chiefly of a rich deep loam on a lime stone substratum, and producing most luxuriant white straw and green crops, in all their varieties. Many of the resi dences are of a superior grade, and the farm-houses and cabins are generally above the average description. The rents on these estates are punctually paid, and the best proof of their being low is that when any of the tenants are desirous of dis posing of their holdings (an event of very rare occurrence), they readily obtain for the goodwill or interest therein a sum varying from 151. to 20/ per Irish acre. Mr. W. W. Simpson has in this, as in every other instance, carefully avoided misrepresentation, and rejected altogether those florid descriptions which too frequently lead to annoyance and disappointment in the minds of purchasers, who natur,lly will judge for themselves. Mr. Simpson, at the same time, fearless of contraeiction. ventures to assert, from the result of personal survey and valuation, that an estate of such magni tude, present value, reversionary interest, and capabilities. is very rarely the subject of public competition, taking even the wide range of the United Kingdom. Particulars are in preparation, and will shortly be published, when the property may be viewed. Every information will be given to persons willing to treat for the purchase by Francis Berry, Esq., Tullamore ; Thomas. Sterling Berry, Esq., Hume-street, Dublin ; Messrs. Manning and Dalston, solici tors, Hertford-street, May-fair; and Mr. W. W. Simpson, Bucklersbury, London. RELAND.-IN THE COUNTY OF CORK, AND IN THE LIBERTIES AND CITY OF CORK.

The unavoidable consequence of this is, that we meet a very considerable proportion of indifferent, usele.., and even bad books. With the force of thi3 prejudice on our minds, we with no little reluctance were induced to peruse Messrs. Curtis's work, entitled "Mat:ll3od ;" nor did it re quire much perusal lully to plisfy us that the book was not one of the common stamp. The scientific views taken by the authors of the source and origin of many of the most distressing, effects of certain depraved habits, fully establish their claim to the character of experienced and judicious surgeons. To quote passages from the work in p,of of our assertion would be departing from the established rules of the daily press. The result, however, of our careful perusal of the work, has been to impress us with a thorough confidence in the talent and skill of the authors, and to satisfy us that those entrusted with the care of youth are not a little indebted to them for fur nishing them with a means of preventing some of the most frightful maladies to which,flesh is heir.—Old England. Messrs. Curtis's work, entitled " Manhood," is one of the few books now coming before the public on such a subject which can lay claim to the character of being strictly professional, at the same time that it is .fully intelligible to all who read it. The moral and medical precepts given in it, render it invalu able.—Magnet. _ _ _ The periisal of Messrs. Curtis's book entitled " Manhood," has really astonished us by desieloping a series of maladies, the never-failing consequence of the vicious habit of which it treats. The clear connexion pointed out between the assigned cause and the effects is perceptible to every capacity. We strongly recommend the work.—Age. The multitude of books daily coming from the press, some, nay most of them of a very questionalde tendency, made us ex tremely reluctant to take up another. Having, however, been induced by the character given of this work by an intelligent friend, we ventured to open its pages, and now feel no hesita • tion in saying that we arise from its perusal instructed and edified. The clear exposition of the source of many of those diseases which proves so fatal to youth, and which are set down by the every-day observer as the result of common cau.es, sti , th as exposure to cold, sudden vicissitudes of ten..pe rature, hereditary taint, &c., is truly convincing and extre mely satisfactory. We say satisfaCtory," inasmuch as Messrs. siurtis have shown that many diseases, such as Pulnioniry Consumption, Epilepsy, &c., hitherto the "opprobria of medi cine, may, when taken in proper time, and submitted to judi cious treatment, be brought to as favourable a termination as any other class of ffections. We do not think we go too far in saying that society is deeply indebted to the authors for producing so useful, so much wanted, so valuable, and so truly moral a book.—Conservative Journal. a rr n h h e o Mood," 0 , r " a c l 4 . 5 , o ei th a e s i We p recommend erduvaaanitoafgep t se h r e ssuor vv nes o r to k of e l : ie i l t s i cu t l l l4 e t c s i frseo ‘ s , m, such perusal, will be mclorysestfiucrlaeladaily recognised and felt by those who stand most in need of them.—Statesman.

The Penny Postage is one of the few benefits which the People sometimes derive from a weak Government. It was a concession to Public Opinion, made with the greatest reluctance, and only because at that particular moment it was expedient to court popular favour ; the gradual loss of which had endangered the existence of the late Ministry. B It, however ungratefully the boon may have been granted, its universal importance, end the value which the nation attaches to it, prevent the possihility of its ever being resumed. Penny Postage (unless, indeed, it eventually lead to a halfpenny rate) is as immutable as the Bill of Rights, or any funda mental institution of the empire. It was always our opinion that the monopoly of con veying the correspondence of the country is not a legiti mate or proper source of revenue. It was net so in tended in its origin ; and, looking at its nature and amount, it was perhaps the most odious, impolitic, and tyrannical tax ever imposed upon a people calling themselves free, and believing themselves int e lli gent . Yet custom r e co nc il e d as to t h imposition ; and as the members of the Government, high and low, as well as those of both Houses of Parliament, contrived to exempt themselves, their families and friends, from its operation, the system was said to thrive well ; for while it swelled the resources of the Budget, it was a cause of hourly distinction to the rich and privileged classes, who re joiced in Government covers and Parliamentary frank , . Time, however, which innovates on all things, at last l brought Post-office Reform. But though the tax is greatly mitigated, the principle of making the Post-office a source of revenue still continues. Future improve ments, therefore, must in some degree depend upon fixing the amount, per cent.. which it may be expected to yield as a tax ; ftnd upon expending all above that amount on the rapid, frequent, and safe conveyance and delivery of letters and small parcels. Instead of con fining the expenses of the department to the minimum of cost with the view of producing the maximum of taxation, the principal object ought to be to perfect the system. Every improvement would eventually incre Ise the general receipts, and consequently augment the returns to the Treasury. Hence, to oppose improve ment, is to injure the revenue ; a fact of which the ene mies of Post-office Reform seem totally ignorant. At this moment, before the stage of transition eis passed, and while the pl in is not yet fully carried out, the Pest-office yields the enormous profit of some 40 per cent. to the State, without the employment of any capital, or incurring the slightest risk. But this is by no means its only advantage to the Government. It is of all departments (except perhaps the Customs) the most fruitful source of patronage ; and a Parliamentary return of the number of appointments annually given by the Postmaster-General would expose the real motives of many opponents of Post-office Reform. Such a re turn would be still more useful : it would suggest inquiry whether all the present cumbrous and expensive ma chinery is actual'y necessary ; and it might therefore lead to changes alike economical and efficient. If a large saving can he made in t'ee ministerial part of the system, part of the loss to the revenue, of which so many pathetic complaints are made, will be shown to arise from jobbery or mismanagement ; and thus, that long-enduring peblic, whom all profess to regard, yet whom every man, individually, is delighted to drain, will be found to have been doubly ill-used—first by having been plundered and aggrieved for the sake of the rove iee, erre secondly for the purpose of patronage. Port-office Improvement cannot, however, now be prevented, though it nary be retarded ; and Govern ment will only show its wisdom by cheerfully taking the lead, .instea i of being sulkily driven to consult the wants and wishes of the country on this subject. An indication of the feeling of the Administration was shown in Lord Lowther's recent answer to the depu tation from the London Mercantile Committee on Postage ; but his Lordship did himself injustice in say ing he was " as willing as his predecessor" to carry out Mr. Hill's plan —we believe him to be both more willing and more able than Lord L:chfield to carry it out. It is perhaps to be wished that the same disposi tion and similar ability existed in the inferior function aries of his department. Admitting that many of the great alteraticns adv.). catrd by Mr. Hill must be attended- with a certain increase of expense with an uncertain increase of reve nue, and that time may be required for their due con sideration, there are, nevertheless, other important changes to which neither objection applies. Our pre. sent remarks will therefore be confined to pointing out some defects which arise from mistake, negligence, and the want of a systematic arrangement. I. THE DISTRICT POST. Before the establishment of a uniform Penny Post, small parcels under the weight of four ounces were conveyed to any part of the Metropolis for 2d. and to the suburbs f or 3d. T ne same-sized parcels are now charged one price as if they were sent to the Land's End or to John o'Groat's House and this is said to be because there is a uni form rate. That, however, is a fallacy; and it has proved equally inconveni en t t o t h e i n h a bi tants an d in jurious to the Post-office. The new system was in tended to increase not to lessen alsy existing advan tage. In every other case, the Post office conveys a letter or small parcel at a cite rper rate than it could possibly be sent by any other paid conveyance ; but u parcel weighing from two to four ounces can be sent from houses within a short distance of each other at leas than half the price now demanded by the Post office. The Post-office loses, therefore, the benefit of conveying most of such parcela (which are either sent by baud or by one of the private conveyance-compa nies), and which could be delivered by the present corps of District postmen without any additional cost to the depertment. The London public and the Post office revenue are alike injured—the latter perhaps the most—without any single counter-balancing benefit, and without any apparent reason. 11. STAMPS ON LETTERS. Every letter that passes through the Post-office, whether General or District, ought to bear a stamp containing the date (and hour, if Diitric:) and the name of the place where it is posted : the utility of which for tracing a letter is obvi ous. But let any one compare, as we have done, five or six letters of each class, General and District, end he will find that no uniform principle is observed. Some General Post letters are altogether without a stamp : others contain the date without the name of the place ; some, the place without the date ; while in form the stamps are unitke each to each. With respect to Dis trict letters it is " confusion worse confounded ;" and though the hieroglyphics that occur on them may per haps be deciphered by official skill, to the uninitiated the marks are utterly unintelligible and uselesa. From the want of systematic arrangement and central control, so visible in this branch of the service, men are led to infer extreme carelessness or incompetency in other branche3 which are more concealed in their workings, though felt in their evil results. 111. THE DELIVERY OF LETTERS. If the name of the street be accidentally omitted on any letter, the delivery of that letter is matter of chance ' • and to the Post•office, Court Guide, Bl ue B oo k s , Directories, and the numerous other works of reference, are things unknown. Let the party, from his name, rank, or sta tion, be ever so easily identified, or stand ever so con spicuous in the Court Guide or Blue Book or Direc tory, he will not receive his l e tt er un til i t h as been " Try"-ed by a jury of postmen, each taking it in turn, who may think he knows some one of that name, or " something like it," in.bis beat. After many, failures, the individual may, at tbe distance ofiviveek or ten days, be lucky enough to receive biz letter, covered wttb evidences of neglect in the form of Tries ; whereas, a single glance at one of the commonest books of refe rence might have immediately discovered his address. This is a serious evil ; and, considering that it is an im portant part of the contract on which the monopoly exists that letters shall be duly and quickly delivered, a special department in the General and District offices ought long since to have been established for the pur pose of ascertaining doubtful or mistaken addresses : a little experience, and that tact which experience gives, would soon enable the oficers to do all that is practicable. But " Not known," " Try," and " the Dead Letter Office," save trouble to all but peripatetic postmen. IV. THE POSTAGE OF NEWSPAPERS IN THE LONDON DISTRICT. Though any newspaper will pass and repass from one end of the kingdom to another without charge, yet if it be sent fro m one s t ree t of London to the very next street it is charged a penny. While a distinction existed between the District and the General Post-office with respect to postage, the fact admitted of explanation ; but when the rates were assimilated, the retention of the postage of newspapers became anomalous and unjust, It shows how un willingly the reform was adopted, and how determined the authorities were to clutch every farthing of receipt for the revenue. The stamp is affixed to a newspaper professedly to cover its postage ; and if it carries a paper free any number of hundreds of miles, upon what prin ciple is a charge amounting to one-fifth of the value of the paper imposed for conveying it perhaps two miles, perhaps only fifty yards? A clearer proof of the want of a general system, or of the niggardly spirit of the Post-office, could not be adduced. In fact, no anomaly seems too great to be preserved if a few hundred pounds are to be gained by it. Enough of suggestion for one week. Lord Lowther may be assured that his administration is watched with confidence by many, and interest by all.

THE FROST -THE PARKS, &c, Loss OF LI FE. —On Sunday the ice, with the single eeption of that on the round pond, Kensington-gardens, was in an insecure and dangerous condition, and mere ' rous immersions took pla c e during the day, hut through the prompt exertions of the officers of the Royal Humane Society, they were unatt en d e d w ith fat a l consequences, until a late hour in the afternoon; when three young men, who were skating on the ornamental water in the Regent's-park, were suddenly immersed ; and although .every possible assistance was immediately rendered, so long a period elapsed before they were extricated, that, after mo r e than one hour's application of the remedies recommended by the Society-, two only were restored to animation, the third case being shortly after giv en up as hopeless. It appea rs t h at t h e i ce had . been in a most dangerous state throughout the day, notwithstanding which many hundreds of persons persisted in venturing upon it ; and the Report of the Superintending. Officer sates that upwards of thirty were taken out of the water in the space of five hours. The accident, which has terminated so fatally, tools place shortly before five o'clock, in the afternoon, opposite Sussex-place, at which time it was getting dusk. As soon as the alarm was given several officers of the Society hastened to the spot with ice-boats, and after great exertion, three of the ice men being themselves immersed in the water, succeeded in recovering two of the young men. The third sank under the ice, and several minutes elapsed before his body was found. It was ultimately brought up by the drags and conveyed to the receiving-house (a tent erected within the grounds) of the Society, where Mr. Norton, 01l:10;er-street, _and assistants, were in attend ance, and used the rtio.;t unremitting exertions to restore animation. As previously stated, in the two first cases he was successful, but every means failed in the third— the vital spark having fled. The deceased Was a tine young man, apparently about twenty-five years of age, but no card nor paper was found upon him to lead to his identity. The body was placed in a shell and conveyed to the workhouse to await the inquest. The names of the younA• men who recovered were stated to be James Wood, of Avery-street, Bloomsbury-square, and George Demounav, of Cottage -place, Peckham. Much praise is due to deputy superintendent Giles Barr, for his ex traorlinary exertions, lie having been immersed in the water no less than four times. The situation of Lieutenant-Governor of Que bec is vamnt by the death of Gen. Mikes, formerly of the Fusilier Guards. THE A UTITOR OF " TEMPTATION."—We observe that a new novel, from the pen of the Author of " Temptation," is announced to be ready for publica tion next week. It is called " The School for Wivi_.s." From the peculiar nature of the former story of this writer, much curiosity has existed to know the name of the author, but hitherto this 'curiosity has remained un gratified. It is, however, certain, that it is the produc tion of a lady moving in the highest circles ; and we have heard it reported, that should the present work meet with an equally good reception (of which there can be little doubt) it is the intention of the author to avow herself. Thus, in all probability, we shall have to add another distinguished name to that galaxy of female talent which has already been rendered so brilliant by a Burney, an Edgeworth, a Porter, a Joanna Baillie, &c.

(From the Literary Gazette.) SI 3 IULTANEOUS OBSERVATIONS AT GREENWICH, AT TORONTO IN CANADI, AT TREVANDRUM IN THE EAST INDIES, AT ST. HELENA, AND AT THE CAPE OF GOOD HOPE, DURING THE REMARKABLE MAGNETIC DISTURBANC:;: ON THE 25TH AND 26TH OF SEPT. 1811 Military organisation and military habits made avail able by the British Association in scientific researche , are beginning to develope their advantages ; an'l Ce very recent and prompt publication by that body afford , proof that the constitution of the association, and the system of magnetic observatories proposed and being carried out by them, are working well, Look at the date of the " disturbance," and see how soon the account of it is brought together from the four quarters of the globe, and published ! It is satisfactory, also, to find that the disturbance has not escaped the vigilance of any one of the observatories from which accounts have yet been received. With observers thus trained, and a system thus organised, it would be difficult to predict the results. Colonel Sabine, in the introductory remarks, refers to the interest which Mr. Airy's circular letter on the subject of the magnetical disturbance observed at Green wich on the 25th September last has excited ; to the approval of the Master-General of the Ordnance for the immediate publication of the observations con ducted by the officers of the Royal Artillery at the magnetical observatories ; and to the employment, for that purpose, by the Committee of the British Associ ation (of which the Gallant Colonel is a prominent and eminent member) appointed to conduct the co-opera tion of that body in the system of simultaneous mag netical and meteorological observations, of a portion 01 the grant placed at their disposal. The disturbances appear to have commenced at Toronto nearly at the same absolute time as at Green wich, and to have been generally simultaneous at both stations. The disturbance at Toronto was at its heicht from 11 A.M., to 4 P.M. Gottingen mean time. Its general effect seems to have been that of causing a decrease of easterly variation and of total intensity. Ttse agreement in direction of the changes of horizontal and vet tical for ce d eserves remar k : the m i n i mum and maximum of each occurred simultaneously, or as nearly so as can b e l earne d f rom the observations—the minimum of both being .observed at the second read ing after noon, and the maximum of both at precisely the same interval after the following midnight. The observations of the second disturbance show a striking connexion between the chances of declination and in tensity—an increase of force corresponding to an in crease of easterly declination, and vice versa. An aurora was visible at Greenwich both in the morning and evening of the 25th. At Toronto the morning was heavily clouded, with rain, consequently no aurora could be seen : in the evening the aurora was visible at intervals from seven to ten P.M. Toronto time, or one to five A.M. Gott. time, the perind of the second great disturbance ; the remainder of the night was heavily clouded. A gale of wind occurred on the fol lowing day (26th), and in the evening another (?) aurora was seen. The extreme changes of the declina tion, horizontal and vertical force, during the two dis turbances, were as follow :—of the declination, 1 deg. 05 min. ; of the horizontal force .02436 of its whole value ; and of the vertical force, -01288 of its whole value. Similar observations were made at Toronto io 1840 ; and the recurrence of so great a disturbance on the same d sy in the following year is remarkable. At Trevandrum, in lat. 8 deg. 30 min. 35.2 sec. N., and long. 5 hours 7 min. 59 sec. E., au unusual mag netic disturbance took place simultaneously with those observed in England and America ; although, in con sequence of the easterly position of 'Trevandrum, the commencement only of the disturbance was observed there. Tne disturbance was indicated principally by the horizontal-force magnetometer, because the inch natiOn at Trevandrum being only 2 deg. 50 min., the horizontal intensity at that station comprises nearly the whole magnetic intensity, the vertical component being extremely small. During the whole day of the 25th, the horizontal intensity was weaker than the average of the proceeding twenty-four days of the month ; and at the Gott. hours of noon, two, four, and six, r.m., when great disturbances were taking place at Greenwich and Toronto, the observations at Trevan drum show a decrease of intensity much exceeding the usual fluctuations. The effect of the disturbance on the declination-magnetometer appears to have been com paratively small, the north end of the magnet being, how ever, during the whole day to the eastward of its average position at the same hours in the preceding part of the month. The element principally effected at St Helena was also the horiz :ntal force, which underwent frequent fluctuations of unusual amount, and sustained, on the whole, a considerable diminu:ion of intensity. Toe magnetic inclination there being 21 deg., the horizontal force forms by much the larger component of the total magnetic force. The diminution took place at 10 A.m. (25th); the intensity continued to weaken until 7 hours 42 min. 30 sec. P.m., and the loss amounted to -0118 of the whole force ; and this, it will be remarked, was coincident with the period when the disturbances at Greenwich and Toronto occurred. The fluctuations of the declination at St. Helena, as at Trevandrum, were far less striking than those of the horizontal intensity, or than those of the declination, at Toronto and Greenwich. The magnetic disturbances at the tro pical stations have not, however, always this char •cter. The September returns from the magnetic observa tory at the Cape o f G on d H o p e ( accor ding to posteript, dated December 29) have just arrived, and their re duction would oc cas i o n " a n i n expedient delay in this publication." It is satisfactory, however, to find, that the remarkable disturbance under consideration mani fested itself in that southern latitude. All the magne toireteis were greatly affected. The greatest dis turbance of the horizontal force commenced about 10 A.M. (the epochs here spoken of are Go'. mean i time) on the 25th, and attained ts extreme limit at 7b. 45m. P.M. on the same day. The vertical-forc e magnetometer was deflected out of the field of view at Eta, 30m. P.M., on the 24th, and remained so ; the in strument being adjusted afresh to the needle, the latter was again deflected out of the field at 2h. 27m. 305., r.m., on the 25th. For the tabular details of the observations at To ronto, at Trevandrum, and at S. Helena—for the pro jected curves of the former—and for valuable hints to magnetic observers, we refer ou r rea d ers to t h e publi cation itself; to which, it is said, the reduced observa tons at the Cape may form a supplement, accompanied by observations, probably, of the same disturbance at S mla, in the Himalaya. The September returns from the Van Diemen's Land observatory may be expected in February, about which time accounts may be hoped for of the same date from Captain li.oss, R.N., who intended to pass the last fortnight of September at Chatham Islands, where ho would establish his magne tometers on shore.* * The official account of Captain Ross': voyage, hitherto received, has been published among the Parliamentary papers ; and, though we have communicated the substance to our readers some time ago, we shall insert this document in our next, for all future reference.—Ed. Lit. Gaz. TILL RURAL POLICE. We perceive with great satisfaction that a strong feeling is gaining ground in different parts of the coun try, and in most respectable quarters, against the con tinuance of the Rural Police system. It gives us the more pleasure to see this, because it is manifestly the r result of practical experience, not of any public agitation of the question ; of experience, too, acquired under circumstances which have given no scope for the de velopment of the worst tendencies of the system. We have ourselves, as our readers know, always spoken of the Rural Police Act, when we had occasion to speak of it, in terms of reprobation ; we have assigned it a prominent place in the catalogue of those despotic and unconstitutional measures which alienated from the Whigs the affections of the middle classes in England. But there arc few subjects of public importance on which we have more abstained from pressing or develop ing our views, knowing that theoretical arguments, even though based on the soundest reason, would have,. little effect on the public mind against an established' institution of this nature, till the conclesions of expe rience should begin to co-operate with them. We therefore reserved ourselves upon this question, under a continual protest, till the fitting time. That time, we are happy to say, is now rapidly approaching. It is now but a few weeks since an attempt was made to introduce this system into the West Riding of Yorkshire, which singnally failed. Later still it was repudiated after trial by the gentlemen of Nottingham shire. In the 'hues of Friday we published a report of proceedings at the last. Quarter Sessions for Glouces tershire, in the course of which Sir John Guise gave notice that he should move, at the very earliest period allowed by the Act—first, for the reduction and modi fication, and afterwards for the total abolition, of the new force in that county. He objected to its " enor mous cost and general inefficiency." " He stated, that it was with reluctance he adverted to the subject, in consequence of the indifferent suc cess which had attended his previous efforts in the way of inducing the Magistrates to enter upon an inquiry as to the utility of the force. He had been induced, however, in consequence of the numerous petitions which were about to be presented, and in consequence of having received letters requesting his attendance, to direct attention once more to the subject. The rate payers complained, and with reason, of the enor mous expense of the constabulary force. It was more than double the county-rate, and it was con sidered that the service rendered was not at all equal to the cost of supporting it. It was not possible that a foot police could be efficient in widely extended rural districts. It .might be useful in populous aces and in towns, but it was too bad to saddle_the rural rate-payers with by far-the larger part of the expanse. In the district where he lived there were a few villages, and a policeman had never been seen in one of them ; but, even if policemen were to enter the district, they could be of no use in such a wide extent of country. Altogether, the scheme had been a failure." When gentlemen like Sir John Guise persevere in moving questions of this sort, notwithstanding an anta gonist influence so strong as that of the Berkeley fa mily in the county of Gloucester, they must be acting upon very decided cone fictions, and with a very consi derable weight of public opinion to support them. That opinion will assuredly prevail against all that its oppo nents of either party can do to counteract it. On Saturday we had the pleasure of publishing still more gratifying evidence of the soundness of our views on this question. Tne freeholder s of Durham have for soave time past exhibited in an unequivocal manner their dislike of the police feree ; but the magistrates in that Whig-ridden county have contemptuously set aside and refused to listen to their petitions, under va rious frivolous pretexts. Tue effect has been admirable. What was before an uaconeerted and desultory expres sion of sentiment has now become a resolute and orga nised opposition. On Wednestley last a body of petitions was pre sented at the County Court, to which it would be diffie cult to find a parallel in the provincial annals of the country. The C turt was crowded, and the audience plainly testified their sympathy with the wishes of the petitioners. " Mr. W. Scruton, the Deputy-clerk of the Peace, first read the Report of Major Wemyss, the County Chief Constable, whi c h a ll u d e d to the efficiency, &e., of the force. He then presented a petition, praying for its continuance. " The deputies from the different townships, up wards of one hundred in number, then handed in their memorials. They were from 172 townships (there being 240 iii the country.) The signatures were en tirely landowners and rated inhabitants—upwards of 6,400 in number. Their genuineness and the respect ability of the patties were vouched for by the over seers and churchwardens of the different townships, and in many instances the memorials included all the rate payers in the parishes. The petitions were all laid on the table amidst loud and frequent bursts of applause, which the officers were almost unable to suppress. There were slight alterations in the wording of some of the memorials, but the prayer of all was to be re lieved from the expenditure attending the police force." After refe-ring to the printed accounts of the trea surer, by which it appe trey that in the year 1840 a sum of 5,203/. 10s. 1 I d. was -collected on account of the force, and 4,986/. 6s, expended, and noticing the probabi lity of a further increase of expense by the augmentation of the treasurer's salary, the memorialists stated their conviction " that the local constables in each town ship, if properly instructed and remunerated for their services, would afford infinitely more security to persons and property than the present force, dispersed, as it ne cessarily was, over a wide extent of country ; and that, should it be found requisite for the maintenance of the laws in the colliery and populous districts, it was only reasonable that such districts should pay for their own protection." They, then, for the sake of illustrating the tendency of flee system to jobbing and extravagance, adverted to a practice of the Darham county police, in taking per sons charged with minor off: aces to the most distant in stead of the nearest spot where Magistrates could be found to act, obviously for the purpose of increasing the allowance for mileage ; and concluded with a prayer, " That the force be dismissed; or that the necessary means be taken to obtain their withdrawal from the rural districts, and to relieve the memorialists from being taxed for their fu:ute support." In the face of these memorials, coming from quartets so numerous and so respactable, Captain Shipperdsoa, a termagant Whig-R tdical, addressed the Court in a laboured eulogy on the system thus emphatically repu diated by the re epic, and concluded with a motion iii favour of its continuance. A large majority of the Ma gistrates assearld el (men of similar politics) supported his motion ; and ss the prayer of the people was by this " Liberal" body contemptuously rejected. But it was conceded to the memorialists that a Committee of Ma gistrates should be appointed to inquire generally into the subject of their complaints ; and from this beginning eve augur well for their ultimate success. Our readers will not fail to observe that in all these instances the ground of objection to the new system has been its inutility and expanse. It is only on great emer gencies and under very pacuiiar circumstances that it would be likely to be resorted to for the purposes of arbitrary aggression upon the liberties of the people. The "dig sues vin:/ice nodes" of tyranny does not occur every day. But there it is, an instrument ready and most fit for such uses, whenever the occasion may occur ; and that suelt an instrument should exist in the hands of any department of the Eeecutive Government, is an offence against the first principles of the British Con stitution.—Thnes. SHOCKING TRAGEDY AT SHEFFIELD. The town of SThe[lisdd has bcea the scene of a very shocking occurrence, the result of intemperance. A young man, aged named Henry Vaughan, a table-knife manufacturer, living in Whitecroft, Lad, it appears, paid attentions to Sarah Poole, who, with her two sisters, lived at Pie B ink Bridiehouses. and oh tailed a respeet.thc livelihood by dressmaking ; but. about eighteen months ago, in consequence of his disso lute conduct and intemperate habits, she refused any longer to keep company with him. Soon after this period, he called upon her, and endeavoured to induce her to revoke her determination to discard him as a lover. But finding his persuasions in vain he drew out a raz and attempted her life. She, however, with great promptitude and spirit, threw him down, and got the razor from his hand. In October be had fired a pistol at the house, and on Monday last he vis:tcd her and uttered such alarming threats that she applied to the Magistrates for protection, and obtained a peace warrant. Vaughan was summoned to appear be fore the bench on Friday. The sisters had, in conse quence of his violence, been latterly in the habit of fasten ing the door and window-shutters in the evening ; but on Frid ty night unfortunately forgot or neglected to do so. At about a quarter before eight o'clock they were sitting at their work, when Vaughan suddenly rushed in at the outer door, closing it after him as he entered, and cried, " Revenge ! revene this night, if 1 go out a corpse!' He then drew his hands from his packets with a pistol in each. Sarah Pool! immediately rushed to the door, followed by her sister Harriet, who, perceiving that be was aiming at Sarah, shut the door, but he fired one pistol before it was closed. Sarah escaped down the stairs, but 11 irriet, by closing the door, shut her self in with the infuriated man, while the third sister, Hannah, escaped out at the front door, and ran over to give alarm at tl:e public-house opposite. Vaughan essayed to follow :Sarah, but Harriet, with great pre sence of mind and wonderful intrepidity, pushed him backwards and lin fell. At ;his moment she snatched from him what she supposed to be the other loaded pistol, threw it dawn, and escaping into the next room, made for the window. She threw open the sash, and pushing open the unfastened shutters, was in the act of jumping out, when 1.11. villain fired at. her. The bail struck her upon the shoulder, inflicting a superficial wound, and passed by her cheek. At this moment the landlord of the Barrel public-house, and Mr. Palfreyman, a commer,:ial traveller, came over, upon which the descei-ate fellow fired a third pistol lich through the panne) of the door, the , ball from which entered the front of Mr. Palficym4n s trowsers and tore his shirt, but, wonderful to say, passed over his thigh without wonodi,g - him. The door still remained fastened, and they were afraid to make any further attempt at entering until the police should arrive. In the interval three other shots were heard in the room, and when they at length entered they found the miserable man in his last agony. He had discharged one of the pistols at his own breast. Near him lay three pocket pistols, one discharged, one loaded, and the third with the barrel partially no screa ed, as if an attempt had been male a second time to reload it. Taco or three bullets were found on the floor, and that fired at Sarah Poole, which had touched her left temple and raised a small lump, had flattened against the wall, and fallen down the cellar steps. An inquest was held on the body of the suicide on Saturday afternoon and a verdict of Felo de se returned, after the facts above related had been deposed to before the jury by the witnesses to the dreadfpl transaction. The Coroner accordingly gave the usual directions for the interment of the body at midnight, without Chris tial burial.—Abridged from the Sheffield ladependent EXETER MARKETS.-FRIDAY.
