A valuable case of watches belonng to Mr. GrOln, fourth mate, has been lost in de Reliance. Zr. Griffin was a person of good property, and took them out for the Chinese market, but was unable to dispose of them. Captain Tucker, immediately before the Reliance sailed from St. Helena, is sated to have been desirous to come home in another merchant vessel, lying there, and that he was prevented taking his pas sage in her only by finding there wis no accommoda tion for him. It is mentioned as spmewhat remark able that the vessel alluded to was deeply laden, that her berths were much inferior to these of the Reliance, and that she was considered to be t, bad sailer. The commander represented this to Captain Tucker, but the latter continued to press his wish to take a pas sage in her, till assured that it was impossible to make room for him. On the 30th inst.

(From the Friend of China, Sept. 10.) The following literal English version of a procla mation in Chinese, issued by her Majesty's Plenipo tentiary on the sth of July, and also a circular to her Majesty's subjects in China, under date the 24th of July, are published for general information. A. R. JOHNSTON, Deputy Superintendent, Charged with the Government of Hong-Kong. Government House, Hong-Kong, Sept. 9. " Pottinger, her Britannic Majesty's Plenipoten tiary, &c., makes .this clear exposition for the infor illation of all the people of the country. "Under the canopy of Heaven, and within the cir cumference of earth, many are the different countries ; of the multitude of these not one is there that is not ruled by the supreme Heavenly Father, nor are there any that are not brethren of one family. Being then of one family, very plain is it that they should hold friendly and brotherly intercourse together, and not boast themselves one above, another. But England, coming from the utmost west, has held intercourse with China, in this utmost east, for more than two centuries past ; and during this time the English have suffered ill-treatment from the Chinese officers, who, regarding themselves as powerful and us as weak, have thus dared to commit injustice. The English, unwil ling to enter into contest with them, had borne such treatment for many years, till, in the year 1839, the Emperor of China, having determined to prohibit ef fectually the importation of opium, sent a special com missioner, Lin Tsesen, to conduct the arrangements for that purpose ; and that officer, finding himself unable to seize the actual offenders of each nation, in place of consulting and concerting measures with the several national officers residing in China (as it was his pro per duty to have done), had the audacity forcibly to confine in Canton the English officer and people, at the same time threatening them with death. His ob ject was, by extorting from them what opium there that year might be in China, to gain favour with his Emperor; and the English officer at Canton, seeing this position of things, commanded the English mer chants, in the name of their Sovereign, that they in should deliver up, for the ransom of themselves from this position of extreme danger, whatever opium th e y might have in the Chinese waters. Here is one great offence committed by the Chinese officer* against th e Ensh. ‘ g • Sovereign of Great Britain, consequence of this and numerous subsequent acts of injustice, ap. pointed as her envoys, the Admiral Elliot, and Elliot, the Superintendent at Canton, to whom jointly full powers were given for the settlement of affairs with Chi 6. And having in consideration the nuTy past acts of injustice of the Chinese officers, her Majesty directed the Admiral to take command of a com bined naval and land force, and to quarter it at one of the islands on the Chinese coast; her in structions being, that if the Chinese Government were willing to admit its errors and afford re dress, a peaceful arrangement of affairs should be con cluded ; but otherwise, if justice and recompense were refused, that the standard of justice should be raised and its claims enforced by war. The Admiral, &c. hereupon proceeded to the Peiho, and there presented a letter from the Minister of Great Britain, which the Minister and Governor Keshen transmitted for the consideration of all the Ministers to Pekin after this Keshen wrote to the Admiral stating that affairs which concerned Canton, it was difficult to arrange so far off, and if the Admiral, &c., w ou ld proce ed to Can ton, it would not need long to arrange affairs there. The high English officers, still desiring peace, con sented to this, and proceeded to Canton ; there they met Keshen, and had frequent communications with him, both written and personal. Arrangements were not yet concluded, when the Ministers at Pekin, men without truth or good faith, induced the Emperor to recal Keshen, and send instead a General Yihshan, to fight and war with the English, so that the Eng lish were actually compelled by these proceedings to take the Bocca Tigris, and the line of defences from sub mission, and to take from i t a ransom for the punish tmheenntceofupswnoaxd hi s ll , f a a nd to bring ith.lnth Canton itself to is ill Ministers, we have a second grand instance of offence against England. faith of the Chinese " The high commissioner, Yukien, and other high officers, generals, &c., in the several provinces, in re peated instances, when they have found our people . cast by the weather on their coast, or induced by evil t p y u r t an th ni e cal ea a p n t d iv c es ru e l death, and have men on shore, have, being dead to all good and honest, t feeling, heir thus brought into deceitfully and falsely reported the cases to the Em peror, or published lying proclamations to the people, an d d ar s e t d o t a o wherein they have invented tales of lengthened con test and seizures of vessels in battle with slaughter of many people. Thus falsely did Yukien declare last year the circumstances of the English occupation of Chusan—thus did the General Yishan pretend that he had destroyed many vessels; the Governor Yen Petao, that he had, by force of arms, recovered Amoy ; the Taotai, on Formosa, when shipwreck had cast men on that island, he had gained a victory over them in bat tle; and the General Yihking, in May last, that he had destroyed many vessels and killed a multitude of men at Chusan, when not one vessel was injured, nor a single man killed. These multiplied false state ments, misleading the Emperor and people, and hin dering peaceful arrangements, are a third great cause of offence against the English. " With reference to trade, the English merchants used to carry their goods to many places, and buy from and sell to the people, wholly a benefit, and in no sense hurtful. But the officers at Canton, seeking to confine the profits to themselves, induced the Em peror, by false statements, to restrict trade to Canton alone, and permit 13 Hong merchants to conduct it, not even allowing intercourse with any but them, and the linguists appointed by the Government. Thus did these officers gain the power of meddling in every matter, extorting as they pleased, and disguising everything under false statements to the Emperor. This is a fourth great cause of offence. " There are besides many minor grievances that excite indignation and wrath, but that need not here be enumerated. " Because of these grievances the Plenipotentiary, &c., has been sent out by command of his Sovereign to demand redress and satisfaction. When these are obtained, peaceful arrangemen ts ma y be made andthe former friendliness of intercourse may be renewed. But until then, the high officers in command here of the combined naval and land forces will continue as commanded also by their Sovereign, to maintain the cause of justice, and to contend with all their power for the enforcement of such redress. When the Em peror shall appoint a high officer with full powers to negotiate and conclude arra n g ements o n his own responsibility, and not till then, will hostile opera tions be stayed. "Now three principal things are required for the redress and satisfaction above spoken —namely, com pensation for losses and expenses ; a friendly and be coming intercourse on terms of equality between offi cers of the two countries • an d the cession o f i nsu l ar territory of commerce and for the residence of mer chants, and as a security and guarantee against future renewal of offensive acts. " If these three things be acceded to, there will be no difficulty in the settlement of any minor points. " That the people may know our objects, and not be misled by the false representation of their officers, to commit acts of hostility that would bring home to their own persons and families the horrors of war, the LOSS OF THE RELIANCE. The following is a copy - of the letter addressed by Captain Green, on the 4th instant, to his brother, Mr. R. Green, of Birchin-lane, one of the owners of the Reliance, which arrived in town by post on the 16th instant, but in consequence of that gentleman's ab sence at Boulogne remained unopened until Tuesday : " Reliance at Sea, " Lat. 48 20 north; lon. 14 10 west. " Friday, Nov. 4, 1842. "My dear Robert,---A shit) is near us, which I hope will be able to supply us with some provisions, and I send Mr. Walsh on board to try to procure some. We have been on short allowance for nearly three weeks, and have on board to-day ten days' provisions at two thirds allowance per man, with the exception of flour, of which we have not an ounce. This, in ordinary times, would be quite enough, but we have been so miserably uufortunate.vonwirals, that I &iriot Con sider it right to run the risk of starvation. I have desired Walsh to procure, if he can, two casks of beef and two of flour.He will draw on you for payment if he can get all or any part of the above, which I will thank you to honour. My passage from Cape Verd has been the longest I have ever made in my life. I have never, since I have been at sea, seen such a continuance of adverse winds. Each succeeding change of moon has disappointed us in a change, and for five weeks we have had nothing but easterly gales and fresh breezes to contend with—some days making only 10 miles and never more than 65, except one day—The day before yesterday—when we made 130, and I was in full hope that all our miseries were at an end, the westerly breeze having set in with the change of the moon ; but after blowing very hard for eight hours, it moderated and before noon flew round again to the north-east,, having let us enjoy it only 15 hours. lam almost worn out with anxiety, particu larly when I remember that the insurance was out on the Ist of this month ; and I am afraid they will con sider us a missing ship, and charge accordingly. " Our passage up from St. Helena to the Cape Verds was a beautiful one ; every one was confident that, even with the usual run of luck, we should be in the docks by the 22d or 23d of October, whilst now it is much more likely to be a month later. We are now about 330 miles from the Lizard, a distance which we could run easily in two days ; but if we are to go on as we have done these five 'weeks, it will take us at least eight, and may he more, for the wind is very obstinate, east-north-east, and the barometer rising. " The native seamen feel the cold a good deal, and at this moment I have twelve men off duty from sick ness, whose loss we feel very much.

" Mr. Robert Green, Birchin-lane, London." The other letter, written a few hours before the wreck, and referred to above as having been picked up on the French coast, is as follows : " East India ship Reliance, English Channel, November 16. "My Dear Mother,—lt is with the greatest pleasure that I take this opportunity of writing a few lines to be ready ,to send ashore the first opportunity. In my last I told you that I expected to be with you the latter end of September or the beginning of October, which the Captain fully calculated upon, but the fates are against us. We made a long and tedious voyage of two months and a half 'from Whampoa to Batavia, since leaving which we have encountered nothing but unfavourable gales and light Winds for nearly four weeks. - We .have been on short allowance, but r have enjoyed very good health all along. Not so with the rest ; we have had about 20 on the sick list. We arrived at St. Helena on the 3d of Sept., when I was highly delighted to receive your letter, also one you wrote me last voyage. We left Whampoa on April 24, so that we shall make about a seven months' voyage home. We are now, we believe, off Start Point, but having had it blowing very hard for the last two days, and very thick weather, we have not been able to get an observation. But we are in hopes of getting a pilot to-morrow, and then I shall have an opportunity of sending this ashore. If the present wind last I think we shall be in the Downs about Saturday morning, and in the East India Docks about Wednesday or Thursday. I will write imme diately on my arrival in London. I think I shall have to stay a day or two to make arrangements for next voyage, but will lose no time, you may depend, in hastening to `canny Newcastle,' where 1 look for ward with great pleasure to meeting you all again in good health. I hope you will write to me on receipt of this, telling me how you have all been since I last heard from you. " I shall not close this letter till the pilot comes on board. I shall write to uncle George by the pilot." (The letter here breaks off.) The following is - the certificate of the Consul as to the finding, of the above letter : " I certify this to have been picked up on the coast off Merliemont on the 15th instant, about twenty miles to the westward of Boulogne, and claimed by me.

Henry Kutingham, seaman, died in Macao • John Weide, seaman, died three or four days before the wreck. 'William Marsh, fifth mate ; Peter Fisher, baker ; M'Gowan, Captain's servant ; David Fraser, boatswain's mate, were left in Bombay ; and James Hardy, seaman, in China. The names of the survivors, which have been al ready given, though somewhat incorrectly, are— Robert Dixon, carpenter; William O'Neill, seaman ; John Anderson, a native of Norway, seaman ; Charles Barz, a Prussian, seaman; and three Manilla men. The Reliance left Gravesend on the 15th of June, 1841, having on board 70 Englishmen and 60 Lascars. The China men and Manilla men above alluded to supplied the place of the Lascars on the homeward voyage. It has been mentioned that one of the mates pro mised the crew just before the vessel struck that they should be in the Downs in the morning, and on the afternoon of the 10th, about 36 hours before the wreck, so fully did the Captain expect to be shortly in the river, that the royal yards were sent down, and every preparation made for running up to Gravesend.

We have perused this volume with more satis faction than any of its predecessors, for, in the first place, it is less disgustingly egotistical, and, secondly, the anecdotal matter is more varied and entertaining. The authoress is so utterly un interesting a personage—notwithstanding her sublime opinion of herselt'—that we care to know nothing about her; but it is otherwise with her sketches and anecdotes of her'illustrious contem poraries; these possess a charm which will keep her "Diary" green in public recollection when her " Evelina" and " Cecilia" are forgotten by all but trunk mak ers an d con f ect i oners . In speak ing of Burke, whom she frequently met, after her emancipation from Court servitude, she con firms the testimony borne by others of his as sociates, as to the extraordinary, indeed, ungo vernable excitement he evinced, whenever the politics of the day were alluded to; and she men tions a whimsical anecdote of Charles Fox having one evening attended a meeting of the Literary Club, where four High-Church Bishops were " gathered together," who were of course horror-struck at the idea of being brought into su;:li close contact with an apologist of the French Revolution ! Not the least entertaining portion of the present volume is devoted to accounts of those aristocratic 'advocates of monarchy, who, it may be remembered, emigrated f'rom France in droves about the period of Louis's execution. Among these was tilt? Due de Liancourt, who with difficulty escaped from the Jacobins, and, on landing from a small fishing-boat at Hastings, went to the nearest public-house, where, in order to appear English, he called for " une pot portere !" Being very thirsty, he drank this off at a draught, and then called for another, which he also dispatched in style; but not being suffi ciently habituated to such a beverage, his Grace got dead drunk, which of course completed his resemblance to a free-born Briton! Madame D'Arblay tells this story with much unction. By the bye, she shines in telling anecdotes of this sort, and relates with infinite humour the be; haviour of the Duke of Clarence who, on one oc casion—it was George the Third's birth-day— rushed, half-seas over, into the room where she sat at diviner with that mean, snuffy, dictatorial German dowager, Madame Schwellenberg (whom Peter Pindar has made such fun of in his " Lousiad") and insisted on the whole party getting drunk in honour of the day ! Fortu nately for their credit's sake, the women ma naged to gain - exemption, but their male com panions were so lustily plied with champagne by his Royal Highness, that they were soon placed in a condition which would have justified a Po lice Magistrate in exacting five shillings from them. This Madame Schwellenberg seems to have sat like an incubus on Madame D'Arblay's imagination. She was a selfish, irascible, domi neering termagant, who fancied that every one ought to submit unrepining to her caprices, and who, like most such people, was the veriest syco phant to her Royal mistress. 134 h these amiable creatures took snuff in prodigious quantities; both were blessed with astounding appetites-- they could each have digested an ostrich—and were equally stingy in money matters. We be lieve, however, that the Royal Charlotte was the most avaricious of the two, though Madame Schwellenberg bore away the palm in point of ugliness. Of Jemmy Boswell, whom our au thoress met frequently in society, she invariably speaks with contempt and dislike. At first, we were at a loss to account for such decided aver sion; but when we met with a passagein the Diary,. where the King is represented as expressing his surprise to Madame D'Arblay that she was so seldom mentioned in " Boswell's Life of John son," we at once came to the conclusion that wounded vanity—for the lady, as her work Shows abounded in smooth, simpering self conceit--Was at the bottom of her dislike to James. In spite, however, of her would-be contempt for Johnson's truest friend, time—who is no respector of persons—is fast doing justice to both parties. Madame D'Arblay, with her heaps of common-place novels, is all but for gotten ; Boswell still lives, and will live for ever. And most deservedly so, for throughout his in imitable biography, he fairly divides attention with the illustrious Lexicographer; and we scarcely know which we relish most—the smart epigratnmatic sayings, and sagacious aphorisms of the one, or the unconscious self-conceit, good nature, and exquiskte simplicity of character that the other exhibits in every page. We quote the following extract descriptive of some of Jemmy Boswell's diverting peculiarities : * The beautiful chapel of St. George, repaired and finished by the best artists at an immense expense, which was now opened after a very long shutting up for its preparations, brought innumerable strangers to Windsor, and, among others, Mr. Boswell. This I heard, in my way to the chapel, from Mr. Turbulent; who overtook me, and mentioned having met Mr. Boswell at the Bishop of Carlisle's the even ing before. He proposed bringing him to call upon me ; hut this I declined, certain how little satisfac tion would be given here by the entrance of a man so famous for compiling anecdotes. But yet I really wished to see him again, for old acquaintance sake, and unavoidable amusement from his oddity and good humour as well as respect for the object of his constant admiration, my revered Dr. Johnson. I therefore told Mr. Turbulent I should be extremely glad to speak with him after the service was over. Accordingly, at the gate of the choir, Mr. Tur bulent brought him to me. We saluted with mutual glee ; his comic-serious face and manner have lost nothing of their wonted singularity ; nor yet have his mind and language, as you will soon confess. . " I am 'extremely glad to see you indeed," he cried, " but very sorry to see you here. My dear ma'am, why do you stay ?—it won't do, ma'am ! you must resign ! We can put up with it no longer. I. told my good host the Bishop so last night ; we are all grown quite outrageous !" Whether I laughed the most, or stared the most, I am at a loss to say ; but 1 hurried away from the cathedral, not to have such treasonable declarations overheard, for we were surrounded by a multitude. He accompanied me, however, not losing one mo ment in continuing his exho r t a ti ons : " If you - do not quit, ma'am, very soon, some violent measures, I as sure you will be taken. We shall address Dr. Bur ney in a body ; I am ready to make the harangue myself. We sh a ll f a ll upon hi m a l l at once. " I stopped him to inquire about Sir Joshua ; he said he saw him very often, and that his spirits were very good. I asked about Mr. Burke's book. " 0," cried he, " It will come out next week : 'tis the first book in the world, except my own, and that's coming out also very soon; only I want your help." " My help?" " Yes, madam ; you must give me some of your choice little notes of the Doctor's ; we have seen him long enough upon stilts ; I want to show him in a new light. Grave Sam, and great Sam, and solemn Sam, and learned Sam, —all these he bath appeared over and over. Now I want to entwine a wreath of the graces across his brow; I want to show him as gay Sam, agreeable Sam, pleasant Sam ; so you must help me with some of his beautiful billets to yourself." I evaded this by declaring I had not any stores at hand. He proposed a thousand curious expedients to get at them, but I was invincible. Then I was hurrying on, lest I should he too late. He followed eagerly, and again exclaimed, " But, ma'am, as I tell you, this wont do—you must resign off-hand ! Why, I would farm you out myself for double, treble the money ! I wish I had the regula tion of such a farm,—yet lam no farmer-general. But I should like to farm you, and so I will tell Dr. Bur ney. I mean to address him ; I have a speech ready for the first opportunity. He then told me his ' Life of Dr. Johnson " wa s nearly printed, and took a proof-sheet out of his pocket to show me, with crowds passing and repassing, knowing me well, and staring well at him ; for we were now at the iron rails of the Queen's Lodge. I stopped; I could not ask him in : I saw he ex pected it, and was reduced to apologise, and tell him I must attend the Queen immediately. He uttered again stronger and stronger exhorta tions for my retreat, accompanied by expressions which I was obliged to check in their bud. But find ing he had no chance for entering, he stopped me again at the gate, and said he would read me a part of his work. There was no refusing this : and he began with a letter of Dr. Johnson's to himself. He read it in strong imitation of the Doctor's manner, very well, and not caricature. But Mrs. S c h we ll enberg was at her window, a crowd was gathering to stand round the rails, and the King and Queen and Royal Fa mily now approached from the Terrace.

Surgeon, of Carmock, near Walsall, Staffordshire, on the 6th July last, to the Editor 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 a . months ago I met with a very severe accident, having di o s u l le cated and fractured my ancle severely. From the great-tendear ness of the joint I was quite unable to walk, the limb con tinued- very much swollen and adematous, and I suffered d re adfully from se vere 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. By accident I met with Mr. Feaver, 16 Ludgate-hill, who applied his Embrocation, and, to my great astonishment, 1 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 I am n ow 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 Mr. Feaver's Embrocation, lam ac tuated by no other motive than gratitude to him, and a sincere desire to make known his invaluable remedy to any fellow-suf ferers. Possessing, as I ever did, the strongest prejudice against everything in the shape of quackery, 1 should be the last man to uphold a system which, generally speaking, I know to be nothing but a nefarious traffic and humbug. " 1 am, your obedient servant, " TREVOR HOLLAND, Surgeon. " Carmock, near Walsall, Staffordshire. " P. S. At the various consultations held uppri my case, the Surgeons and physicians (including myself) were decid edl y of opinion that the frequent violent attacks of spasms wou ld ter minate in lock-jaw, but, as I have before stated, I have not had the slightest symptoms of spasms since the first application of this extraordinary embrocation.—T.

NANKING, AUG. 22. _ The city, from what we have seen of it, is by no means strong, haying many weak points, for the walls though from 35 to 38 feet high in most places, are here and there only 15. The outer one is of great extent, and very old; as far as we can judge it must be 30 to 35 miles round, inclosing a great deal of open country ; the inner one we do not know the extent of; being lost every here and there among the houses; there is also a third enclosure in the centre of the second, which, I suppose, is the stronghold of the Tartars ; both the outer and inner walls are com manded by hills close to them. A considerable por tion of our force are landed, and have taken up a position to the eastward of the city about four miles from the ships, the remainder of the force are afloat to form the column of attack on the side next the river should it be necessary, which I sincerely hope it may not. _ _ Old Elepoo is one of the Commissioners, though not the head one, who, I believe, is some relation of the Emperor's. The Tartar General has also something to say in the settlement of affairs. We do not know the exact number of troops they have in the city, but I suspect their numbers have considerably decreased since our arrival, at least so say the country people. Nobody has yet been to the Porcelain Tower, but in a few days more we are to be allowed to go to sce it ; it is situated outside the city, a little to the south of it. In the event of peace, we are to leave this in twelve days, picking up the money as we go along from the various towns. The sooner we are off the better. Four of our vessels have been more than five miles above this—l think it a pity that we should have lain here so long without sending a couple of the small steamers to explore further up. The Chinese say that a moderate sized ship may go 300 miles above this, there being plenty of water, but a very strong current. There were s one or two places be :tween this and Chin-keang-foo, which we had some difficulty hi getting through where the river was nar row, and the stream in consequence running like a sluice. The tide occasions a slight rise and fall here in the water, but no diminution of the current. The country all round is very beautiful, and the roads as far as we have seen of them some five or six miles round, are really very good. There is not so much cultivation as there is to the southward, but the country is well wooded. Supplies are very scarce, and the Chinese as yet rather shy of us—but within the last two days boats have been plying about with vegetables and poultry, and a supply of bullocks was sent off by the Mandarins a short time ago. A portion of the money to be paid is now ready here, which the Commissioners wish Sir Henry to re ceive, but he has refused to take any of it, until the Emperor sanctions their giving it. THE REVEREND DR. WOLFF. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUAI Sta,:d would, through the medium of your Journal, call the attention of the people of England, and especially that of the dignitaries of the English Church, to the present situation and circumstances of the Rev. Dr. Wolff, whose name is alike familiar to the prince and the peasant in our own country; and who, during the long period of eighteen years, has travelled in the service of Christ through the burning climes of the East—the gloomy deserts of Arabia and Persia—the plains of Hindoostan ; the ancient land of Egypt—and among the half civilised tribes of Tartary and Affghanistan—this excellent man, whose feet have stood on Mount Zion, and whose tongue has proclaimed the glad tidings of salvation from the rising of the sun to the place of his setting, to Mahomedans, Heathens. and Jews—who has attracted the attention of the Bishops of. all the Eastern and Western churches=who has stood in the presence of the Grand Mogul, and the Kings of Persia and llindoostan, and whose great talents and merits have been acknow ledged by the University of Dublin, the Episcopal Church in America, reid the Bishop of Exeter, who addressed him by letter in 1835,—having also attracted the notice of Mehemet Ali in Egypt, and Abbas Mirza in Persia—and who has eminently con tributed to the success of the Society for the Promotion of Christianity among the Jews, perhaps more than any other man—this, same Joseph Wolff, notwith standing all this, is now condemned to spend his time and talents as curate in a country village, equally ob scure and insignificant, and is thus strangely neglected by the Church of England, and even envied by many of its clergy, on account of his curacy at High Hoy land in Yorkshire. If the Church of England had distributed her gifts in pro - poition to the real greatness, the talents,. moral worth, and services of those who are the objects of her favour, Dr. Wolff would long ago have been not a mere country curate in an obscure village, but the honoured pastor of a large and well-endowed church, if not in a far more dignified situation. In the course of a well-spent life Dr. Wolff has acquired all the Oriental and most of the European languages, and made himself acquainted with the theology of all religions, and during the time of his missionary labours has done and suffered more, per haps, than any other Christian Missionary, having often been in the most eminent danger of losing his life—now being bastinadoed—then sold for a slave in a strange and savage land—sometimes stripped naked, and more than once condemned to death—and now that his impaired constitution permits him no longer to endure such sufferings in the scenes of his former labours, and in the service of our Redeemer—to the disgrace of the Established Church of England be it said he: is altogether neglected, though never to be forgotten—for, for many years to come, his name will be remembered with gratitude and admiration by mil lions of men.

The falling off was no less remark able than lamentable. Cattle could find no purchasers at any price.—Wid.chnian. REMARKABLE TENACITY OF LIFE.

VD, by Forbes Winslow, Esq., M. R. C. S., London, Author of " The Anatomy of Suicide," 1.0.,1 vol. 8. v. Renshaw, London, 1842. No subject can be of greater importance to ate worldly comforts than the health of the body and mind, and of the various branches. into. which it may be divided, there is none of greater interest or greater difficulty than that which: treats of insanity or the diseases of the mind.. So limited are the data from which conclusicos can be drawn, so refined andabstruse- the process by which any clear results can ,be arrived at, that - until of late years it had lain comparatively neglected in medical science, as. though huraair • skill could do little or nothing towards curing such distressins , affections. A person demented. I was considered as fit only to be at once removed from society, to herd with others in the same unfortunate condition as himself, and there to be tended arid treated more like a beast of the field than a human being. Little or no inquiry was made into the causes that had in-. duced the calamity. Little or nothing had been previously done to avert it. The mind was affected; the body was healthy, the common. animal functions were performed with regu l ar ity, and so - the patient was left almost to him self, to recover or not, as the case might be. Of late years, However, a most mate r i a l c h ange has taken, place ; the treatment has been im proved; attention has been paid to the 'bodily health; and the result has been, if not a dimi nution in the number of cases of mental disease, at least a very great increase in the proportion of those who have been restored to the possession of their reason. These observations have occurred to us from the perusal of a work which has been recently publiShed under the title of " Diseases of the Body and Mind," by Forbes Winslow, the author of " The Anatomy of Sui cide," and which consists of a variety of essays upon the subject of health generally, but more especially upon that which we regard as the most important, viz. insanity. To that branch the author appears to have chiefly devoted himself, and extensive experience; aided by acute ob servation, has enabled him to lay down inany principles with. regard to insanity, and particus larly as to the treatment of the premonitory symptoms, which we doubt.not will, if attended to, check many an incipient case in the outset, and facilitate the cure of those which . , either from neglect or the violence of their character, • have advanced to what is commonly termed actual madness. The leading principle of the author is, that it may generally be traced to some de rangement of the bodily functions; and that only. by careful treatment for the correction of that derangement, can any cure be effected. That such, however, will be the result in most cases, and when it is but in an incipient stage that it may be altogether arrested, is proved by the author in a great variety of instances to which lie refers. The essays on mental influ ence and the first indications of insanity, arc those to which be would direct especial atten tion in reference to this subject; but all the essays abound in highly useful information and suggestions, and arcs so replete with fact and anecdote as to make them suited to the general reader, besides being most valuable fo the pro fessional practitioner. We give the following extract as a specimen of Mr. Winslow's work. It refers to the connection between suicide and bodily disease. Mr. Winslow observes " The notion that the suicidal impulse is in the ma jority of cases a purely mental act, unconnected with physical disease, has been productive of the most . melancholy and fatal consequences. Medical men, and the public generally, have, with a few exceptions, been too much disposed to consider this subject as one coming almost exclusively within the domains of the metaphysician. The bodily disease which almost uniformly gives origin to the morbid perversion of the natural instinct of self-preservation, has been over looked, and the unhappy person has been allowed, un protected, to end by his own hands.. his miserable existence. Where no disease is suspected, no remedy will he sought. Tell a man who has attempted to slay himself, that he is perfectly sane—that his judgment is sound—that his will is not perverted—that the impulse which drives him to the commission of suicide is not associated with any deviation from corporeal. health—and you • inculcate ideas not only fallacious, but most pernicious in their character and tendency. We might with as much truth tell a person playing with a lighted taper at the edge of a barrel of gun powder, that his life is not in jeopardy, as to say to a person disposed to cut his throat, blow out his brains, poison or hang himself, that he is in the perfect enjoy ment of health, and requires no moral or medical treatment. It may be laid down as an indisputable axiom, that in every case of this kind, bodily disease may, upon a careful examination, he detected. I never yet saw a case where a desire to commit suicide was _present, in which there was not corporeal indisposi tion. Instead' of inculcating the tiotion that this morbid propensity is independent of material lesion, it should be our constant endeavour, and, in fact, it is our duty, to establish the necessity of obtain ing medical advice directly the idea of self-destruction takes possession of the mind. I have seer, the most happy results ensue from adopting such a course of procedure. Patients have consulted me, complaining of being haunted by a desire to kill themselves, and I have in variably found them to labour under latent physical disease. To know ourselves diseased is half our cure,' is a wise maxim when applied to this subject. It ought to be our object to persuade those so unhap pily afflicted, that the unnatural propensity is but the consequence of physical ailments, which are amenable to those medical principles which direct the practi tioner in the treatment of other diseases. We,ought tb diffuse through society generally the notion that i is a matter of essential importance, that the patient whose mind is haunted by the idea of suicide should instantly subject himself to medical treatment. He should be informed that his feelings are but the effect of physical disorder, which can easily be removed if he will confide in the judgment of a medical practi tioner. I have seen, in cases of this description, a s trong and apparently uncontrollable suicidal impulse yield to a few simple remedies. The physician, when consulted in a case of suicidal mania, should carefully ascertain whether there'be congestion of the brain or abdominal viscera. The latter affection is often pre sent in this class of patients. The condition of the liver should also be inquired into. In the majority of cases that organ will be found in a 'morbid condition. Much may be done by medical treatment in cases of insanity attended by this sympton." • WAVERLEY .NOVELS.—ABBOTSFORD EDITION.

ANOTHER OF THE 24,000 SUMMARY PUNISH MENTS INFLICTED IN ENGLAND IN ONE YEAR.-- Win. Bartlett, a married man living in Wootton, w as brought up by one of the Duke of Marlborough's gamekeepers, before the Rev. Thomas Curme, charged with having, in company with a man named Hull, chased a rabbit in a public highway called the Green lane, and which is the accustomed road leading from Wootton to Woodstock. It appeared in evidence that Bartlett and Hull (who has since absconded) saw a rabbit in the road, and that Hull at length succeeded uue e ds upon 1 d Hullh ave in capturing the prize. Bartlett admitted that he t oo k up stones to throw a , tt e he ke r e a p b e b r it po , andhou the rabbit; rh Hull p u t i t d own, an d i t caught anddem i tani if d e ran away. Mr. Curme fined Bartlett 155., including c osts, for being in company with thewho caught the mht the rabbit. Bartlett bein g una bl e to pay the fine, was committed to the cou n t y gao l for a fortnight. Charles Gubbins, the Wootton constable, told Mr. Curiae that Bartlett was an honest, indu s tr i ous , good labourer, b and had never b e f ore been brought before a Magistrate. ATTEMPT TO RAISE A CHURCH RATE AT LEIGH. — In accordance with a notice, a meeting of the rate payers of L e i g h an d the neighbourhood assembled on I Thursdays , day last. Aft er a preliminary address by the ` i carshowing that by legal enactment a rate was justly levied on all property, it was moved by Mr. Marsh, and seconded by Mr. Selby, that a rate of one halfpenny in the pound should be granted. An amendment was made that no rate should be allowed, but, for want of a seconder, was not proposed by th e Chairman. Upon 'which, it was moved by - the Rev. Dr. Harrison, of Atherton, that the meeting be ad journed to that day twelvemonths. This amendment was immediately seconded, and seemed, from the lou d plaudits with which it was greeted, to be accordant with the feelings of the majority. The Vicar, however, refused to put the amendment ; asserting, amid shouts of dis approbation, that, unless the motion for no rate was seconded, he should pronounce the rate of one-half penny in the pound agreed upon. After much con - f u sion andinost decided indications of dissatisfaction, the Vicar vacated the chair. Mr. John Fletcher, or Leigh, was requested to take the chair. The amend ment was moved and carried, with only one dissent ing voice; after which the meeting dispersed quietly —Manchester Guardian.
