The supply of grain for this day's market was rather short. Wheat was a heavy sale; choice samples a shade lower; inferior qualities but little in demand. Fine malting barley at last week's prices, other descriptions is cheaper. Oats, beans, and peas, very heavy; to effect sales, lower prices must be taken. Flour steady. Malt extremely dull.

Taylor and Bright's circular states—We have had, on the whole, a very inactive trade during the past week, with the selling prices of all articles below last week's currency. The unusual mildness of the weather, and re-opening of the naviga tion between this and the near ports, have a tendency to check buyers going freely into stock, and produce a complete hand to mouth trade. There was for this day's market about an aver age supply of wheat from our own farmers, who showed little disposition to submit to th e re d uction insiste d' on by the millers, ar.d the business done was consequently only limited, at 15. per quarter decline. Of foreign rather more samples, and some of recent importation, quality and' condition very moderate, and for such the sale is difficult—Holstein and Danish red fetching 425., and best Hamburgh 455. Dantzic 50 s . We are well sup plied with Malting barl e y, especially Saal, and the sale of Malt' being dull, we experien ce d a s l ackened demand for such, while secondary sorts are quite neglected ; we quote the market ls lower. Very little inquiry for grinding, but the stock is much; reduced. There is still a fair sale for beans at our late cur rency, with a reduced stock. No change in peas either boiling or feeding. There are a few parcels of foreign oats offering on tempting terms. Without arrivals of linseed the market is veil firm ; linseed oil is again dearer, but cakes continue to droop, being more affected by the open weather than any other article. Several sales of foreign have been made during the week on low none in warehouse on sale—are quite nomin a l. R a p e ca k es terms.

Oats supported their value, with a middling demand ; but oatmeal continued difficult to move, and 23s per 2401 b was the top price of Irish.

MARY LEBONE. Robert Maisey, coachman to Mr. Horne, a carriage maker, in Long Acre, was placed at the bar before Mr. Broughton, charged by Police-sergeant . Hockad a y, an active officer of the S division, No. 15, with having, und er the following extraordinary circumstances, received a female infant, to which a young woman, named Eliza Mitchell, had given birth, and not accounting for the manner in which he had disposed thereof. The court was much crowded during the inquiry, which lasted an hour and a half, and it will be seen, from the subjoined evidence, that there is every reason to fear that a foul deed has been committed. The evidence went to show that information was com municated to the police with regard to a robbery of jewellery, &c., at the house of Mrs. Benbow, a lady of property, with whom Mitchell lives as servant, at Lodge Villa, St. John's Wood. Sergeant Hockaday, to whom the management of the case was entrusted, repaired to the residence on the previous afternoon, and there ascertained that Mitchell, the maid servant, was sus pected; he searched, and found some articles in her possession belonging to Mrs. Benbow, in addition to which he discovered in her box a quantity of baby linen, which had evidently been worn. Mrs. Benbow said she had no character with her, except from a char woman, her sister, from whom she understood that Mit chell was a married woman, and the mother of a child. Hockaday questioned Mitchell as to where the child was, when she alleged that she had given it to Maisey's mother, who had taken it to Worcester, but on being fur ther pressed she burst into tears, and said, " What I have stated about the mother is nottrue, and it was Maisey to whom I gave the child up." The officer added, that yester day morning he went to Mr. Horne's, and there saw Maisey, who denied the truth of the young woman's statement. Ile repaired with Hockaday, without any hesitation, to Mrs. Benbow's ; and on his arrival there, Mitchell told him that she had delivered to him the baby, but he denied most positively that such was the case. It further appeared that to information had as yet been gained regarding the infant. The parties had lived together as servants at Mr. Horne's private residence in Maida Vale, when an intimacy took place between them, the result of which was the birth of the infant in question.

Maisey was liberated on giving his own recogni sance in 501 . for his appearance on the day named. Mitchell, not being able to find bail, was locked up. THE Navy HISTORICAL RomAticE.—The reading public will be much gratified by the appearance of a new work by the popular author o f " Whitefriars," entitled " Owen Tudor." It is certainly one of the most accept able of the literary first-fruits of the new year. The announcement is quite enouh to excite general interest. The author of " Whitefriars" is the Prospero of history : with the stroke of his wand he raises around us, not the shadows, but the very substances of departed greatness; his resuscitations are not the mere gatherings up and the rattlings of the dry bones of antiquity, but the living, glowing, passion -breathing realities who once moved the world by their deeds and daring. " Owen Tudor" will undoubtedly rank in the first class of those attractive novels which illustrate the romance of English his tory.—Evening Paper. THE BREWERS' AND DISTILLERS' CLERKS' ANNUITY FUND FOR THEIR WIDOWS AND OarmArts. -- Yesterday the ninth annual meeting of the members and donors to the above excellent institution, founded for the purpose of grant ing annuities to the widows and orphan children of the ex tensive body of brewers' and distillers' clerks, was held at the New Corn-Exchange Tavern, Mark-lane, City ; Mr. J. H. Wynne in the chair. The report congratulated the mem bers on the continued increasing prosperity of the society, the committee having, during the past year, been enabled to increase their funded capital from 4,994/. 3s. 3d. to 5,2981. ss. 7d. There are now on the funds eight widows, together with their children. The report, which afforded much gra tification, was unanimously adopted ; and after the trans action of some general business, thanks were voted to the chairman and the members d the committee, and the meet ing broke up. LONDO N ORPHAN ASYLUM.—Yesterday the anni versary dinner of this charity took place at the London Tavern ;T. Baring, Esq., presiding on the occasion. The customary loyal toasts having been proposed and responded to, the children who are at present under the protection of the institution were introduced into the room, and in their existence, in that an d the u pto i n thest i t u pre sent t i r on . presence the chairma n gave the toast of" Pr osper i ty to the London Orphan Asylum." yrs e stated was nearly thirty-six ea sent year had afforded maintenance and education to more than 1,700 children. Various other toasts were then given and duly responded to. Not the least noticeable feature in the proceedings of the evening was the announcement that the subscriptions amounted to 1,8001., being 5001. more than was received last year. EXPENSES OF THE POST-OFFICE PACKET SERVICE. —The amount that will be required for the service of the year 1849-50 on account of the Post-office Packet Service is estimated at 748,2961., against 814,3601. voted for the year 1848-49. TO THE SECRETARY OF THE METROPOLITAN REFORM ASSOCIATION. Sir,—On Monday the 19th the Habeas Corpus Sus ' pension (Ireland) Bill was moved to be read a third time. Lord Nugent wanted to interpose his ,amendment for reducing the period of suspension to three months, but was told on the point of form, that it was necessary . the Bill sho u ld b e rea d a t hi r d t i me fi rst . A s w e are not living in a period when forms are sacred, there can be no objection to saying, that in this there was much that was unreasonable. The object of Lord Nugent's motion was to give Members an opportunity of recording their objection to the extended period, and then voting for or against the third reading as they might prefer after the amendment was disposed of. And there can be no doubt, or more properly it was dis tinctly stated, that some Members did vote for the amendment, with the intention of voting against the whole Bill in its concluding stage, on the amendment's being negatived. But the opportunity of this concluding stage was never given them; so that they are put into 1 the position of appearing to support a doubtful measure by a vote, though they only gave it because there was no other road to doing what they wanted. Nothing is clearer than that these forms are not perfection, and might be mended. The conduct of the Irish Members was remarkable, and not barren of instruction. Collecting the intention of some English Members to mark their sense of the dangerous nature of the Suspension by voting for a . re duction of the time, the majority and leading men of the Irish refused to vote with them, or to vote at all. Three things will be collected from this by their enemies, and to a certain extent by their friends also. First, that it is indifferent to them whether the Habeas Corpus is sus pended for three months or for six, and consequently their opposition to it is not based on a calculation of evils to be endured. Secondly, that there is no use in attempting to help the Irish Members, and con sequently their enemies may view them in the light in which men are always regarded whom nobody can help. Thirdly, that they are as a party incapable of binding up their cause with such elements of support as might be found existing out of their own pale; from which their enemies will infer as before, and their friends, that whatever is done for Ireland (and there must be a great deal done, or England within existing lives will be a de pendency of some foreign power) must be done without waiting for their assent, still less their co-operation. This is an ingenious position for a party professing to represent a great country, to put itself into with its mi norities of 23. On the same evening the House resolved itself into a Committee on the Oaths to be taken by Members of the two Houses of Parliament; in other words, the Jewish Disabilities. There is a want of novelty in the measure of the Government; most persons having believed that the contest was to be renewed with at least some altera tion of the ground. The old obnoxious words "on the true faith of a Christian," disgraceful in the eyes of all but the sham Christians who like Judas act from con sideration of " the bag," it seems ate to be retained, unless in the exceptional cases. What public opinion is clearly moving upon, is that the profanity and nonsense of the existing oaths shall be removed, and there be substi tuted a simple engagement of allegiance to the existing form of government, under the sanction of such forms as the law admits to be efficient in cases where the in dividuals concerned should be brought before it. If a native of Hong Kong should at some future time find a sufficient number of the lieges disposed to send him to Parliament, why should not his declaration of allegiance be accepted on his breaking a saucer, when the same form would cause his evidence to be received against the life of a citizen in a court of law? Simply because our Iscariots see a thing they wish to preserve in their own keeping while they can. On Tuesday, the debate was on Mr. Baillie's motion fora Select Committee to inquire into grievances com plained of in the Crown Colonies of Ceylon, British Guiana, and the Mauritius. The mover suede a great impression on the House by the description of atrocities in Ceylon. But it was soon apparent that the policy of the anti-Ministerial benches was under cover of these, to push an opportunity for making a defence for the triple object of protection, slavery, and the slave trade, or those modifications of the latter two which under the terms of fixity of labour and freedom of emigration they perse veringly contend for. The leader of the Opposition dwelt in a way manifestly intended to annoy, on some thing he called a mangeuvre. This was the manoeuvre on the anti-Ministerial side, and it was to a great extent successful. A Select Committee is an arena where the mover, always put into that position by his deep interest on one side of the question, is to bring forward all he can muster of evidence or opinion on that side, subject to what may be done on the other by the much less concentrated and. favourably situated efforts of those who may chance to be opposed. Understandings that a Committee is not to enter on this subject or on that, are wind. A Committee is a grand parade of all that can be brought forward on the side of the mover and presider; and such it will always be, in spite of verbal contracts. Ceylon will cover the advance; but the real grievances, all of them distinctly sketched in the speech of the mover, are that negroes buy champagne and will not work for what the planters choose, and that their wages are not to be cut down by the restoration of a free import from the continent of Africa. Ono most curi ous f ac t came out i n t h e course of the Ministerial resistance; which was, that some of the in fluences which support the two last-mentioned objects in the West Indies, had been exerted among the in- i flammable population of Ceylon to getup what in mili tary language would be called a demonstration in aid. 1 On the whole the Protectionists may be said to have I carried their point without a division. The time for the restoration of commercial monopoly is not come, and probably never will. But the other two are falling causes, and will soon be substantially numbered among ',he things of days gone by. I am, Sir, your obedient servant, AN OLD REFORMER. London, Feb. 21, 1849.

The cffieers and non-commissioned .officers of this, ancient corps held their annual assembly on Monday _evening, at the Armoury House, where a most numerous and gay party attended. The whole suite of rooms at tached to their barracks were thrown open, and taste fully decorated with various national flags and other military emblems, but conspicuous among the rest was the company's, with its appropriate motto, " Arms Pacis Fulcra." Among the guests were the Right Hon. the Lord Mayor and Lady Mayoress, with their suite, the late Lord Mayor (Alderman Hooper), an d M r. Sheriff Goodhart, with many other Civic dignities. As the company arrived; they were received i❑ the hall by the stewards of the mess committee, with their band playing national airs, and conducted to the court-room, where the ceremony of introduction was gone through. Dancing commenced shortly after nine, and by eleven the noble ball-room was crowded with "Fair women and brave men," all deeply engaged in the mazy dance, Adams's quadrille ' band discoursing its choicest music. The progamme was agreeably arranged, comprising the newest and most fashionable dances. During the evening refreshments were served in an ante-room, and at one o'clock supper was announced in the large dining-room, whither the company proceeded, Major Bernard and Captain Bossy, - with their staff, conducting the Lord Mayor and Lady Mayoress. The tables were replete with the best of everything, and the wines were of the finest quality; Mr. Kearns presiding, with Sir James Duke and the Lady Mayoress on his right, Alderman .Hooper and Sheriff Goodhart on his left. " Her Majesty's health" was proposed by the Chair— man, accompanied with expressions of the sincere and ardent feelings of loyalty that pervade the ranks of the Artillery Company. " The health of Prince Albert" (their Colonel) was also given, and responded to with hearty rounds of ap plause. The CHAIRMAN then gave " The health of the Lord Mayor," and assured him of the obedience and readiness with which the corps would at all times attend to bis Lord ship's commands, in aid of the peace of the City and me tropolis. His LORDSHIP returned thanks, and said, as Chief Magistrate, he felt the utmost satisfaction, from what he saw that night of the Artillery Company, that their love• of order, and hatred of anarchy, was a prominent and ruling principle in them, and he bad the fullest confi dence in their loyal attachment to the Sovereign and institutions of this great country. Major BARNARD, amidst loud cheering, gave "The health of the Lady mayoress," which was received with ' due honours. The LORD MAYOR, in thanking them for the honour they had done them, took occasion to say how much de lighted his party were with the amusements and arrange ments of the evening, and that never did he remember to have been among such a galaxy of beauty, and begged to propose the health of the ladies. The health of Alderman Hooper and Sheriff Good hart followed, each returning thanks. The health of Mr. Kearns and tho managing com mittee was next given with complimentary expres sions for their excellent arrangements, and the study they displayed for the comfort of tide corps and their triends. Dancing was resumed and continued with unabated vigour till an early hour. There were about 400 pre sent. The absence of their Lieutenant-Colonel (the lion. Colonel Fitzroy), who is at present on the con- ' tinent, was regretted. Of the medical staff Dr. Lane was present. MEDICAL ADVICE. MESSRS.

One day I was searching the library closet, Where many old documents formed a deposit; And having examined the contents awhile, I happened to meet with my father's old file. 'Tway loaded with papers refer' ing to trade, And I'm happy to say that the bills were all paid. For my father did things in a straightforward style, As proved by the swarms of receipts on his file. 'You'll not be surprised that among the amounts I should meet with a number of tailors' accounts. The bill of a tailor I foued in the pack, Which my father had settled just twenty years back ; So. thinks I to myself, I will give it a quiz, And see what the price on the document is. COAT, WAISTCOAT, AND TROWSERS Were named in the bill, And the price was enough to make any one ill. I cannot remember the sum to a fraction, Pat really it wasn't an honest transaction ; And I couldn't help thinking how much had been done EY those great modern tailors—E. MOSES and SON, Who would make one a suit in the very first style For half the amount on my father's old file. The next was a bill that I wouldn't destroy, A JUVENILE SUIT For myself when a boy. Now I recollect well that the garments were trash, Yet oh, what a hole did they make in the cash. I Hthou MOght SE w S would hen I put b ac k the b i ll on the file, ow After this I .y on der—how MOSES would s m il e . examined a bill for dady And I saw that A HAT, And aura etld. was diddled in that. For very much less vr a u did I feel th d MOSES himwithand SON, Not one such as that on m p r ov i de y father's old file, one— But a thoroughly beautiful durable tile. A PAIR OF NEW BOOTS For my father's own feet, Was another affair which I happened to meet. And again did I find that the purchase was one At variance far with E. MOSE 4 and SON. A MUFF AND A CAPE Were the next things I saw, And believe me, I couldn't help calling out "la 1" Por I knew that the ladies at MOSES' are able For half such a sum to obtain the best sable. Many other bills also I here name across, 'Which preyed that the goods had, been bought at a loss. THE HOSIERY GOODS Whose amounts I inspected, Plainly proved what E. MOSES and SON have effected. E. MOSES and SON, for a very long while, Rave dealt in a fair economical style, And so I perceived from my father's old file. tah_ew work, entitled " The Treasury of Taste," containing a de -O,—.Z list of prices for each department, with full directions for self -‘4lattnent, may be had en application, or forwarded post-free.

The Editor of the Mofussilite instances that of a Coolie employed in his establishment, who was " afflicted with myriads of Ringworms which defied all the Meerut doctors, and promised to devour the poor man, before he was even under ground." Hol loway's Pills and Ointment were then tried, and in a month he was perfectly restored to his former healthly condition and cleanliness of skin. Sold by all Druggists, and at Professor Holloway's Establishment, 244, Strand, London. AN AFFECTING SCENE.—One of the sufferers in the Caledonian accident on Saturday night last, when brought up to the Citadel Station in the luggage train, was placed on a chair in the refreshment room. A limb had been torn off the poor man's body, and the fortitude with which he bore his dreadful loss excited general sympathy and admiration. Looking down with an air of the deepest resignation he exclaimed, " Where's my foot ?" The by standers, who had been regarding the poor fellow with a melancholy interest, burst into tears. About ten hours after that we saw the severed limb, still clothed with the shoe and s t oc king, taken out from a heap of shattered carriages, drip ping with blood.— Carlisle Patriot. COURT CIRCULAR.

(BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.) TRIAL OF DUFFY. DUNEDC TUESDAY EvEmlNG.—vlcience on behalf of the prisoner was gone into at the sitting of the Court this day. Several witnesses were examined, and amongst them the Right Rev. Dr. Blake, Roman Catholic Bishop of Dromore, and the Rev. Theobald Mathew, to testify as' to Mr. Duffy's private character and amiable quali• ties in private life, and also to show that as far as their knowledge went he was an opponent of anarchy or re publicanism, and was merely a constitutional advocate of the repeal of the legislative uaion. A great many members of the council of the Irish Confederation were then produced, and proved that the prisoner strongly opposed any movement suggested by others which was not considered perfectly legal, and amongst them Mr. Thomas Francis Meagher, who was brought up from Kilmainham prison under a writ of Habeas Corpus, and he further gave evidence to show that he himself was the aathor of the letter to the clubs relied on by the Crown, and that it had never been seen by the prisoner. - Mr. ilesgher's appearance in court was the signal for a most marked demonstration of applause, which was instantly checked by their Lordships. The case for the defence will, in all probability, close to night, and the Solicitor-General will be heard in reply to-morrow. MOVEMENT AGAINST TEE " RITE IN AlD."—The Downpatrick poor-law guardians have, by a resolution, called on their chairman to communicate with the Lieu tenant of Down, requesting him to summon a county meeting, in order that the opinion of the public may be instantly expressed upon the project of a general " rate in aid,"—a project, they say, virtually destructive of the interests of the ratepayers of that county. CORN MARXET.—We continue to have a very dull market for every description of grain. Wheat and oats were a shade lower. Barley supported its price. Indian corn could only be had in very trifling quantities, and at a reduction of 6d. to Is. per quarter. NEW POSTAL ARRANGEMENTS WITH THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.—Notice was issued yesterday, at the General Post-office, that the following Postal Convention has been concluded with the United States of America and the United Kingdom :—" The prepayment of postage on letters posted in the United Kingdom, and addressed to the United States of America, and vice versa, whether conveyed by British or United States' packets, will be optional. Combined British and United States' postage, will be the uniform rate of Is. on a letter not exceeding half an ounce in weight, 2s. on a letter not exceeding an ounce in weight, and so on according to the scale for charging inland letters. The whole postage on letters may be paid in ad vance, or they may be forwarded unpaid at the option of the senders. The necessary measures with respect to the trans mission of letters to countries and places through the United States, not having yet been arranged in concert with the United States' Post-office, further instructions on this subject will be issued. Newspapers published in the United Kingdom, duly stamped, and posted under the usual official regulations, may be forwarded to the United States on payment in this country of ld. each ; and news papers published in the United States will be liable, on delivery in the United Kingdom, to a postage of ld. each. Periodical works, not of daily publication, and printed pamphlets not exceeding eight ounces in weight, may be forwarded to the United States under the following regu lations :-1, The British postage must be paid in advance ; 2. They must be sent in bands, or covers open at the sides or end—not exceeding two ounces in weight, Id. ; not exceeding three, 6d.; not exceeding four ounces, Bd. ; and 2d. for every additional ounce. No periodical work exceed ing 16 ounces in weight, nor printed pamphlet exceeding eight ounces in weight, can be forwarded. Similar works posted in the United States, and addressed to the United Kingdom, will be liable to the same regulations, and will be charged with the same rates of postage, on delivery in the United Kingdom. The above regulations and rates of post age are applicable whether the correspondence be conveyed to or from the United Kingdom by British or by United States packets, but all letters, newspapers, &c., will be for warded for the present from the United Kingdom by the British packets, unless they are specially addressed "By the United States packets." _ _ _ It seems that a tax is levied on emigrants entering Canada.

NAVAL IN TELLIGENCE. THE ADMIRALTY LEVEES.—The first levee of the new First Lord of the Admiralty, the Hon. Sir F. fr. Baring, M.P., was held yesterday, when the followirkg officers made official acquaintance with the Right Hon. Baronet:—Vice Admiral Sykes, Rear-Admirals Sir G. F. Seymour, C. 8., G.C.H. (recently returned from com manding in chief in the Pacific); Sir Thomas Fellow es, C. 8.; and Peter John Douglas. Captains Percy Gracte, Sir Henry John Leeke, E.H.

Sawley, C. R. Carter, and John Saunders. Above fifty officers also had interviews with Rear- Admiral Dundas, C. 8., M.P., the senior naval member of the Board. Captain John Simpson (1809), the senior captain of Greenwich Hospital, died at his official quarters at the Royal Hospital yesterday. This Gallant Officer had been in excellent health, although at the advanced age of eighty-two, up to Monday, and on that day took his accustomed walk at the establishment. His services in. the navy were of a ♦ery distinguished character, although his only decoration was one of the newly awarded medals which he received a few hours before his death. He was a lieutenant of 1793, commander of 1803, and captain of 1809. Among the candidates for the vacant appointment, we have heard the names of Captains Wallis and Walcot mentioned. The repairs of the Fairy, Royal yacht steam-tender, at Portsmouth are ordered to be expedited. The time of re-fitting was originally stated for the 20th March; but she is now to be out of the hands of the engineers and shipwrights by the 28th inst., and to be ready to convey the Court to Osb orne on th e 2d of March. The Fearless, steam-vessel, arrived at Devonport, with seamen and marines, paid off from the Juno, and is to remain at Devonport, as a tender to the flag-ship. The commander, engineers, and stokers are to remain in her; but the remainder of the crew who navigated her to Devonport are to return to the Ocean at the first op portunity. Mr. Cow, foreman of shipwrights at Woolwich dock yard, has made a handsome present of books to the dockyard libraries, and for which the Admiralty have officially thanked him. TELEGRAPHIC COMMUNICATION BETWEEN AMERICA AND EUROPE.—Amongst the miscellaneous proceedings of the 'United States Congress are projects to establish a tele graphic communication across the Atlantic to Europe, to form a similar line across the American continent, and also a project to form a line of railway from the Lakes of Michi gan to the Pacific. - IMPORTATION OF SOLE.SKINS.—The vessel City of London, from Rotterdam, has brought 18 packages of sole skins as a portion of her cargo. This importation has been preceded by others of a similar character from Holland. The article, when thoroughly cleansed and dried; is used for refining coffee for use during the process of boiling the article. His Excellency Count Collaredo, Ambassador from the Emperor of Austria, accompanied by the Countess Col laredo and suite, arrived yesterday at Mivart's Hotel, from Austria, via Brussels. THE HAYMARKET THEATRE.—HamIet was played again last night at the Haymarket Theatre. With th e im personation of the Prince Mr. Kean thoroughly identified himself. There was no elaboration—no attempt at stage trick. Hamlet was read and played by a gentleman and a scholar. The soliliquies are half the " part." Mr. Kean de livered them so that the most fastidious critic could not find a fault. He declaims admirably. In the more highly wrought scenes the genius of Mr. Kean developed itself thoroughly. We have not space for another remark. Mr. Mattison paired in favour of Lord John Russell's motion for leave to bring in a Bill to alter the oaths to be taken by Members of both Houses of Parliament, 'with Colonel Powell. Loss OF THE STEAM-SHIP FORTH.—Our Liver pool correspondent writes :—" The loss of the West India mail-steamer Forth has excited much regret on 'Change. For a considerable time the truth of the statement was ques tioned, partially in consequence of the steamer's name being given as the Avon ; but now little doubt exists. A letter from New Orleans, under date the Ist instant, appears to be conclusive, but happily conveys the announcement that no lives are lost. The disaster occurred at five o'clock on the morning of the 14th ult. The Forth, as perhaps it may be known, received at St. Thomas's, on the 2d ult., the rr r ! a l , taken from England by the Avon, which put into Madeira, and rmeetua nr i n n fo a r l l t h l likelihood, ew observationsl therefore,i e h e o k: o — d e , :deianng rie,aedbhiirboggiu th soeti e ihs Forth , en route to Vera Cruz and Tampico at the time of T h he e r disaster. ocial METEOROLOGICAL OBSERVATIONS. which is issued from the Royal Observatory at Greenwich gives f , the barometer for the dry, 49.6; lowest, week, 30.492 ; thermometer, lowest in the grass, observations 25.

They have principally been from Rouen, but have also comprised very considerable importations from Calais, Havre, Diepp e , G rave li nes, D un ki r k , an d some ot h ers, and have included several thousand tons weight in bulk of this esteemed vegetable, the whole the production of France. SEIZURE OF ILLICIT STILLS.—The Commissioners of the Excise Department having stated to the Customs Board, that the officers of the Customs in Great Bri tain, being unprovided with Excise commissions, should secure the attendance of an Excise officer before they enter houses, or other places, in search of private stills, &c., in respect of which they may have received infor mation, the Customs Board have issued directions that the several officers in the waterside and waterguard de partments in G reat Britain, be apprised accordingly, and the same has beets notified to the principal officers of the department, at the several ports and places through out the kindom, for their future government.

DEF: By the operation of the same principles, the Society is enabled to afford to the public a plan of Deferred Annuities far more advanta geous than any hitherto offered, whereby an individual, by the con tribution of a very small annual, monthly, or weekly saving, may se cure either a comfortable provision for himself in advanced age, or, at his option, a large sum of money, or a policy to his family at hi■ death ; while by giving to the purchaser, at any time, the power of borrowing two-thirds of all previous payments, it removes all risk of forfeiture from inability to continuo premiums, besides affording an ample resource during sickness and want of employment ; and should the purchaser die before arriving at the stipulated period, two thirds of his payments will be returned to his representatives. The following Table is a specimen of the great and ♦aried advan tages which the judicious application of a small saving can secure through this Society.

Diffidence, or a sense of right determine the former, and miscalculated hopes ern a:tter the latter. The solitary one may shield himself under the plea of caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret un conaprosing harry; but the truth lies deeper. Physical incapacity, and broken health, are the great hindrances to domestic happiness and social content. The dowry should not be the only marriage set tlement. Honour and justice demand that health should form as item In the compact; it alone dignifies the alliance. Blighted hopes or aeglect wound more sorely than poverty or misfortune.

Marriage requires the fhlfilment of several conditions, in order that it may be really the cause of mutual happiness. Could the veil, which covers the origin of domestic wretckedness. be raised, and its true source in every instance disclosed, in how many could it be traced to physical disqualifications and their attendant disap pointments. Excesses are always injurious; the gift, which when aged in moderation is fraught with advantage, becomes, when abused, the prolific source of mischief and of greater or less injury to the constitutional and vital powers. The particular excesses, on the nature and consequence of which this Treatise professes to dilate, are productive of greater severity of misery to tko human frame, than any other to which it is subject. This work contains an accurate and eomplete account of the Anatomy and Physiology of the Reproductive Organs, and of their relative conditions in health and disease. It deservedly requires the closest attention and study, for what subject can be of more importance than the preservation of the health and of the physical capabilities of which every man should be possessed. It unfortunately happens that the unhappy victim of excessive indulgence and vicious habits, whether acquired in early life or from the follies of advanced age, while suffering from their invariable consequences, unwisely entertains a fear of ap plying to a qualified physician for relief. Shame and the dread so frequently, but erroneously entertained that these complaints are beyond the reach of art, alike restrict him and prevent his seeking ror assistance where alone it can be procured. In acting thus, he forgets that accurate discrimination in ascertaining the causes of disease, sympathy with the sufferer, and, above all, secrecy, inva riably characterise the intelligent and practical physician, and to the medical man who can show by hil) possession of the requisite legal qualifications that he is entitled to esteem and respect in his profes sional pursuits, the utmost confidence should be extended. Dr. LI'MERT has obtained the highest medical honours, as his diplomas certify and the great extent of his practice for many years is a guarantee for his professional experience, which has reference almost solely to the treatment of these diseases.
