INSTITUTION for CURING DISEASES of the EAR AMONG the POOR, 32, Sackville•street, Piccadilly (established July, 1838). PRESIDENT—The Right Hon. JOHN PIRIE, Lord Mayor. vicE-PAESIDENTS. I Sir Edmund Antrobus, Bart. Francis Mills, Esq. H. Broadwood, Esq., M. P. Hon. Mr. Justice Patteson Sir F. Burdett, Bart., M.P. E. Tennent, Esq., M.P. Right Hon. Lord Denman W. A. Williams, Esq.

Secretary—Alfred Burgess, Esq, New-street, Dorset-square. Repodof the Committee : The Committee of Management have pleasure in assuring the promoters of the Institution, th it its career has been marked by progressive usefulness, in effecting to a conisdera ble extent, the objects for which it was originated, and that al-- though little publicity has been given to it, upwards of 1,1100 patients have been entered upon the books ; and it is with pe culiar satisfaction that the Committee are enabled to add, that the majority of these patients have been either cured or have received substantial relief. The Surgeon of the Institution, Mr. Yearsley, has pre i , ared a Report of the medical proceedings at each succeeding half year, to which the Comm►ttee might refer, were it necessary, as exhibiting some very remarkable and gratifying cases of cure. 'The Committee, from their own personal observation, can bear testimony to the great zeal and ability which have uni formly been displayed by Mr. Yearsley ; and they consider it a subject of congratulation, that the indgent, suffering under the class of diseases to which the Institution is devoted, should continue to have the advantage of a professional adviser who not only knows how to appreciate improvements in the depart ment of science to which it refers, but who can also judiciously and skilfully apply them. To carry out, however, to their fu'l extent the various bene ficial purposes for which the Institution was established, addi tional pecuniary aid is required; and the Committee, therefore, put forth their claim to the benevolent consideration of the public, in full confidence that it will not be made in vain. The amount of good which they believe has rewarded their ef forts, with the small means hitherto at their command, affords an assurance that with increased funds the benefits of the Charity can be most advantageously extended, by not only affording gratuitous advice to patients, but also supplying such medicines as their cases require; whilst to those poor persons whose maladies resist all efforts of professional skill, suitable acoustic instruments could be furnished more extensively than the present state of the funds admit of for their alleviation. It should be observed, that no efforts have hitherto been made, no urgent appeal to public sympathy attempted, with a view to improving the condition of its finances, for a reason which the Committee persuade themselves must be generally approved : they consider that it was their duty to show the necessity of such an Institution before any application was made in its favour ; so that, in fact, every contribution which it has heretofore been their pleasing duty to acknowledge, has been, in the strictest sense of the word; voluntary, because un solicited. Subscriptions are received by the following bankers : Messrs. Cockburn and Co., 4, Whitehall; Messrs. Di ummond and Co., Charing-cross; by Messrs. Nisbet and Co., 'Book - sellers, Berners-street ; or by Mr. Yearsley, No. 29, Sackville street.

The fastening is composed of corded silk and India rubber, by which it is impossibte for the hairs ever to come loose in the mouth ; they are the only kind that can be warranted from corroding ; persons frequently get bad teeth and gums from these causes, the corrosion being poison to the breath, and cancer to the gums. Families in town and country supplied carriage free, with every kind of sponges, brushes, brooms, turnery, mats, horse clothing, blankets, lea thers, and every requisite for the use of houses and sables, of the very best quality at wholesale prices, 40 per cent. under any other house in England.

This Work, a Seventh Edition of which is now presented to the public, ten thousand copies have been exhausted since its first appearance, has been very much impro'ed and enlarged by the addition of a more extended and clear detail of general principles, as also by the insertion of several new and highly in teresting cases. The book, as has been already stated, is the result of very ample and daily increasing experience in a class r p . r a c T i h t i e . n i e w r tz proverbial of diseases, which, for some unaccountable reason, have been either altogether overlooked, or treated almost with indiffer rnd"'wbefl t k h n e oun rd r in ap a a ry cit l y 'c' o li f eal un P q ra u ' ali i H e 'd ne traffic on the health and credulity of patients, has been en couraged and aroused by this supineness, on the part of the regular surgeon. In order to obviate the Pernicious effects sure to result from the practices of such pretenders, the authors have fur a considerable time devoted themselves ex clusively to a certain class of diseases; of the necessity of so doing,. they were further convince d by feeling that tact in in vestigating the latent sources o f man y diseases, which arise from certain secret praetices, tan only be acqu i re d b y an ex clusive and undivided attenti on to this de partment of medical practice.

We feel no hesitation in child pining saying that there is no member of society by whom the book grave, in conse quencewill not be found useful, whether such person hold the relation of a Parent, a Preceptor, or a Clergyman, e t d onished to find, tchaisse cases of o o r f k y , a b a e n uwTayh of careful investiga tion of its real cause, has been se down to the score of con sumption, P onfd A s R ofma sEetNdTai disease, which, c o hwi b ha e ige h h o t, l a d f s oa rt p h r7 i e s amna b tt e a l beloved 8 , , . s th u g persons of both sexes, who perish of what is called pulmonary consumption, heart disease, tabes, a m t pt i i n ou' ni w ne il - l ie u n u ths pe o r f us t in h g e &c., the sole and exclusive origin has been the indulgence in certain destructive h a bi ts pract i sed b y youth much more frequently t han it is at all suspected.

PRICE 5d THE DUBLIN LEVEE OF TUESDAY. &Immo OUT OF TILE WIIIO GENTLEMEN !—The show is not, apparently, so great as the last—though we are told that Mr. Sidney Herbert left the Arch. bishop of Canterbury to baptise the Prince of Wales, for the purpose of attending his Excellency, as well as of voting at the election—the Mail thus giving us to understand that the said Sidney Herbert preferred the interests of Young Grig and the Orangemen of Ire land his duty to the Queen. We shall have an ex planfftion, of course, of this extraordinary and very inconsiderate escapade of our Contemporary. But, in the meantime, we have to state that the Castle doors were jammed full in the face of several Whig gentle men who attended the Levee. We have heard some of the names of those who were insulted ; but, as much more will be heard on the subject hereafter, we shall forbear for the present. We may say this, however, that the present Levee is the last—whatever his Excellency's tenure of office may be in Ireland—in which he will ever see the face of a WhigOr Liberal within the precincts of the Queen's Castle. We need not add how delighted we are at 'this. Vet% o'CLocK.—We have caused inquiries to be made touching the extraordinary circumstance mentioned above. The statement we find is quite accurate. Among the most prominent Whig characters who were shut out from the Vice-regal presence were Alderman Purcell David Ross, of Rosstrevor ; Captain Laird, Member for Carlow ; one or two Whig parsons ; and about sixteen others.—. Dublin Evening Post of Tuesday. PRESBYTERIAN MEETING IN ARMAGH. THE MARRIAGE QUESTION. (Abridged from the Newry Telegraph.) On Thursday, a Meeting of the members of the First Presbyterian Congregatioti of Armagh, took place itt the Ho'. fin Henry's - Meeting-house, for the purpose of taking the subject into consideration, and for adopting petitions in both houses of the Imperial Legislature, to avert the danger which is already more than pending. The Rev. Dr. henry took the Chair. Dr. HENay proceeded to state the objects of the meet ing in nearly the following terms s—" Christian Friends, from our settlement in this country as a branch of the Established Church of Scotland, down to the present time, our ministers conceived they had the right of solemnizing marriage, not only amongst the members of their own communion, but between their own hearers and the constituents of other denominations. Upon this understanding of the civil law we have ever, as a body, acted, and our uniform practice has been sitistairied by successive decisions from the Learned Bench, as well as ratified by repeated public acts of the Executive Government. It has frequently happened that persons in this province, reckless of the moral obligations which GOd and Nature imposes, have, through their law advisers, raised the point of the inva lidity of Presbyterian marriages between an Episcopa lian and one of our people, as a plea against the charge of bigamy, and as a shield against merited retribution, and it has till now as invariably happened that our Judges and Juries have ruled in favour of our practice. In consequence of this, many have suffered the penalty of transportation, and some are at this moment in banishment, making expiation by their bondage and punishment to the outraged laws of their country. A case of this kind I have referred to occurred at Car- , rickfergus within these five years. Upon the testimony of one of our most respectable ministers, that lie had celebrated a marriage between an Episcopalian and a Presbyterian, the act was without hesitation ratified by the Judge and Jury, notwithstanding that the defence of invalidity was set up and ingeniously ar gued by Counsel, and the bigamist in whose favour it , was employed was forthwith transported. It is now twenty-four years since Captain Lethrope, an Episco palian, was married by Dr. Black, of Derry, to a Miss Marshall, of his congregation. The parties removed to England, where Lethrope resided, and an attempt was afterwards made to deprive his daughter, the issue of this union, of her rightful property upon the plea of the illegality of the Presbyterian marriage performed between her parents. Lethrope himself was a party in this base attempt; and, not content with the ini quity of the disinheritance of his daughter, he added the crime of bigamy to his unnatnral guilt. Dr. Black was summoned to England and proved the marriage. Not only was Lethrope defeated in his attempts, but he was transported for seven years, and .111iss Letlirope Dublin, b l i a tal r inl e di , no: t ia o s nha o i n st Ni‘eisf, grisorerai.efzmmeaslyhla.:lrirdisrisli3.ietbtitserre.so.aoiaudneige:e3l:ierlllistill.:Lbl.lep.riesterAfienoinifr.,ite;eetislhelri slualtdseniougloe put, by the Chancellor of England, on Dr. Black's testi m,my and marriage, in the undisturbed possession of all her rights. But to come to the case which now imme diately concerns us—Smith, an Episcopalian, was mar ried by one of my co-Presbyters, the Rev. John Bell, of m set r ti e il e caen 3 11 :r - 1;0 ' 1f : 1p . removes na A lti i c l t ouractiont hausgt o h f endeavours to invalidate it en account of the Presby terianism of the minister, it is sustained by Judge and Jury, and, in perfect conformity with pre vious analogous eases, Smith is sentenced to seven years' transportation. But Mr. Whiteside, it appears, carries the question to the Twelve Judges, a majority of whom, for the first time, affirm the principle that the marriage of a regularly ordained Presbyterian minister between his hearer and an Episcopalian is null and void. r ipsla s vtagoel h tenero e .:, Thus the man who was judicially doomed is now enjoy ing all the enlargement of freedom, and that without any change of circumstances or the light of any fresh evi dence. I impeach neither the soundness of the judicial decision nor the integrity of her Majesty's Bench, but I adduce these facts to vindicate myself and brethren against the charge of celebrating marriages either igno- rantly or illegally. We rested implicitly on the deliver ance of Judges and the deliberate acts of Governments, and thought ourselves secure. Acting on this princi ple, nearly one-third of my marriages have been of that kind which this decision dissolves, and some of my best friends and nearest relatives have been brought unwittingly by me into a state of public degra dation. It is but justice to the Government to say, that to the last they were determined to transport Smith; and had not the deliverance of the Judges necessarily altered that determination, no amount of interest could have prevailed on them to commute his sentence. I have testimony in my possession to this effect, and I con ceive this an important and encouraging feature of the cage that ought not to be lost sight of. And now, fellow- Christians, consider the awful and distressing circum stances in which we are placed. What is the fact ? The marriages of many of you, of many of your nearest and dearest, of multitudes of your fellow-worshippers throughout Ireland, nay, over the face of the world, are dissolved. Your children and theirs, in such cases, are held up before Christendom as illegitimate, the right of inheritance broken, and the securities which you be lieved sacred and indissoluble, suddenly severed. This is a blow that cuts us in the most vulnerable point. We are most deeply grateful tO the Attorney-Ge neral for giving us hope regarding the past. We thank him for his noble defence of our privileges, and for his intention of introducing a retrospective measure. We trust he will go farther, and apply the provisions of his Bill to the future. Now is the time to have it clearly understood that less than this will not and cannot satisfy us. We respect the rights of others ; our own we are determined to support. Nothing short of unrestricted liberty to unite our hearers with those of other denomi nations can satisfy us. Let all political differences be buried till we are again placed in the honourable posi tion which we thought we held. Let us trust that through Ulster, all divisions will be forgotten ; and with one heart let us employ every legitimate means for securing, in all coming time, those immunities to which our numbers, wealth, and intelligence, as well as past practice, and the spirit of our glorious Constitution, en title us forofmail loyalqaulauliteorbs e d b i e e n p t o f u r r e e e d m e i n n , . breathingL t e h t e p la e t n i g ti u o a n g s e And now, friends, before I call upon you to move and second the resolutions which are ,before me, I will give you an instance of the first fruits of this decision. I have here the documents detailing the facts of the case to which I allude. A woman with four children ap plied on Tuesday last for admission into our workhouse, who had been deserted by her husband, after having been married to her for fourteen years, under the very pre tence which this decision afforded him. lie has aban doned her, and married a female in another quarter of the country, and her children, because of this, were pub licly, on last Tuesday, on the books of the workhouse, designated as. bastards.—(Great sensation.) This is surely the time, when such occurrences as this are taking place amongst us, to be up and doing. The Rev. Doctor, after apologising for the absence of some of the leading members of the congregation, on account of sickness, and professional duties calling them elsewhere, con chided amid the warm applause of the meeting. Mr. DOBBIN J.P., rose to move the first resolution. The case to which he (the Chairman) had lately referred, came before him in his Magisterial capacity. He had taken the informations of the woman against her hus band; but, on account of the late decision, he was unable to act on them. By the late decision the children of great numbers of them are rendered illegitimate, at least in the eye of law; and if some' healing measure is not adopted, the most disastrous consequences will ensue, causing utter confusion amongst the whole of the Pres byterian community. Mr. Dobbin then proceeded to read the resolution, -which was seconded by Dr. Bryce, and carried unanimously. Mr. JOHN KANE moved the second resolution, which was seconded by Dr. Belt, and passed unanimously. The other resolutions were then separately proposed and carried, after which Dr. HENRY read a paragraph from the Newty Tele graph, which stated that means were being taken by the Law Officers of the Crown to have a Bill prepared and brought in for the purpose of legalizing all such mar riages as the one which had been the source of as much unpleasantness to the Presbyterians of the North of Ire land. He said he had lately been one of a number who had drawn up the heads of a Bill on the subject, and he would likely be one of those who would carry that Bill to London on the ensuing meeting of Parliament. At the meeting at - which the preparation of that Bill was de cided on, he was happy to say that there was but one opinion on the subject, and that was one of perfect unanimity : The meeting then separated. CORN-LAW MEETING "INGRAM, W EDNESD AY NIGHT.—This &La meet . . ing of the merchants and manufacturers of rminr ham, and of Deputies from the surrounding district, was held, for the purpose of conferring, and collecting infor mation relative to th e state o f t h e district. The meeting was well attended, and Delegates froita Wolverhampton, Coventry, Coalbrook Dale, Dudley; Kidderminster, West Bromwich, Bilston, Walsall, Stour , bridge, and Darlaston, were present. William Scholefield, Esq., President of the Birming ham Anti-Corn-law Association, took the Chair, and having briefly stated the nature of the meeting, said that letters from C. P. Villiers, Esq., ; G. F. Muntz, Esq., M.P.; Colo nel Thom p son, and the Mayor of Kidderminster, had been received, stating their inabi lity to attend from various causes. JOSHUA, SCHOLEFIELD, Esq., M.P., rose to move the fir it resolution, and, in so doing, stated his belief that, untiLthe people were better represented in the Commons' House of Parliament, the present system of class legis.- lation would continue, and so long must the industrious class suffer theins:lves to be deprived of their rights and liberties. After n hflef address, he concluded by mov ing a resolution to thieircet, that, in the opinion of that meeting, every individual had A natural and inalienable right to the free exercise of his ow); talents and industry, and the sole possession and enjoymirii of their produc tion ; that, in a free State, the laws shon:,a be made for the equal benefit of all, and that monopoly,' from the many, in order to confer privileges Ivhich takes on the few, is a violation of the two great principles, nationa. and social, on which society exists.". • W. BOULTBEE, Esq., seconded -the resolution, and said. that he had statistical information relative to the town of Birmingham to lay before the meeting of a very im portant character ; but owing to the extreme length and the minute details which it embraced, he should only present an abstract of the more important state ments :-Smiths' vices, in 1826, cost 325. Bd. per cwt.; in 1829, 245. 6d. per cwt. ; and now the price is reduced to 21s. Chains that in 1826 were 19s 6d. per cwt., are now 19s. ,• halter-chains, which were then 9s. 6d., are now ss. 3d.; iron candlesticks are reduced from 2s. 71d. to Is. 4d.; common tinned • horse-bits, which formerly were Is. ld. are now reduced to 1114. Thirty families, taken c onsecutively, containing 144 individuals on an average, formerly receiving 225. - per week, now receive only ss. I Id., which, deducting - rent, averaging 2s. ld. each family, left only 35.. 10d. per family, or 9d. each indi vidual for purchasing the means of subsistence. The concurrent testimony of pawnbrokers was, that the num ber of pledges was reduced one-half ; the articles now offered are generally of very small value, and a great • many, in fad s __ are quite unsaleable, such as pawn ,,brokers could net advance anything wkatever upon. A communication from workmen in the fancy steel toy trade stated, that the rate of wages is reduced We-half in their trade ; that in 1815 eighty hands were erepleyed in the manufactory to which they belong, and forty oui- . workers were also employed, making 120 persons ; and that now thirty are employed in the manufactory and ten out, making only forty instead of one hundred and twenty as before. They: also report that there exists a great tendency to crime from want of employment, and the consequent starvation and misery it occasions. In reference to , the brass-foundery trade, the. workmen state that since 1812 wages have been reduced from one half to two-thirds. Articles in their trade, for which 15s. were paid in 1812 are now made for 55., and there is now the same amount of work for ss. as formerly for 15S. - A letter from a master brass-founder said that the trade was good, and men were fully employed, at good wages, from 1810 to 1815. The letter also stated that an im mense business was then carried on with Germany and Prussia; but that now we cannot compete with the. Ge rmans in price, although our own prices have been reduced one-half. .I .l ,:per No. 5, from workmen in the lamp manufacture, stated that, in 1815, before the Corn-law was passed, men earit=4 good wages, and that now the wages are reduced two-Otirds. In their manufactory formerly 78 persons were fully employed, now 36 only are employed, and those only work 4fr flays per week. Their trade has very much fallen off since. The silver workers state that, in 1835, the men in their trade were fully employed, and were making over-time. ;Cow , they are only employed about three, or not more then four, days a week. These parties also stated that their wages have been reduced very much in the last six years„ Paper No. 9, from the sawyers and wood turners, stated that wages haND very much declined in their trade. Six years ago the price paid for a certain kind of work was per gross ; now the, same kind of work is done for 3s. 6d: per gross. Pape: No. 10, from the jour neymen tin-plate-workers, reprbjented the reduction of men employed as one-third, and tat the remainder I are only partially employed. Paper iVf.). 11, from journeymen screw-makers, stated that in 1835 :::" 1 1836 the price paid for making some kinds of article was ls. 9d., and that now the same articles are made for 9(1..3 and that, in addition •to this reduction, the workmen have to allow a discount of 10 per cent. on all they cart earn. They state, in addition, that in 1815 bread was Is. Bd. per peck, and potatoes 4d. per peck ; now bread is 2s. Bd. per peck, and potatoes Bd. per peck. The orkmen in this trade cannot get full employment even at these low prices. A manufacturer of hinges stated " that the wages have been reduced 20 to 30 per cent. within the last ten years, caused by the want of a g oo ;; demand ;" also " that. at this time there is little ' or no A communication from a gun-manu faeturer statet: that, previous to 1834, considerable gun-barrels, locks, quantities of mater... l `• as bayo nets, &e., were sent to ege, and other places in Belgium and Germany ; but that now they make these articles themselves, and ean undersell us in the American market. The men in this country who now file the common pocket pistols must wt..lrk very hard, from 12 to 16 hours per day, to earn Bs. to 12s. rier week. Paper, No. 14, from a manufacturer connecter: with the j:wellery business, represented that trade as having very much declined within the last three or four years, and also that, prices of manufactured articles have been very much reduced. A manufacturer of combs had stated that upon an inspection. of his books he found that from 1836 to 1841 the decrease of business had been about 80 per cent. A gun-maker stated that for a certain article, which in 1825 cost 2s. 6d., now he could procure the same fir 111(1. Mr. SCOTT, M.P. for Walsall, gave some evidence respecting the neighbourhood of Stourbridge of an in ter:,sting nature. The nnilor with difficulty procured a living for himself when trade was at its best ; but to what a deplorable condition must they now be re duced. Mr. Scott then moved the following resolu tion:-" The avowed object of the Corn-law is to create a monopoly in - the food of man ; and the operation of the Corn law has heen to counteract the designs of Providence, by • restricting the exchanges of the pro ductions of industry- to deprive the working classes of their just remuneration for their labour, by shutting up the markets-to ruin the trade of Great Britain by cir cumscribing its intercourse with other nations-and to induce a fearful state of general and unprecedented dis tress, which daily becomes more intense, and threatens to destroy our commercial prosperity, and our very exist ence ash nation." _ • Mr. Dimmocx, of Bolton, seconded the resolution, and bore testimony to the reduced state of the workmen in that township. A Delegate from Darlaston said that the lock-filers in. that place now only received Bd. for the same work as they used in 1820 to receive 2s. 6d. for. . Mr. TAUNTON, of Coventry,.said the distress exceeded anything that bad previously existed. 2,500 recipients of bread received about five thousand loaves per week in that city. Children might be seen most eager to pro cure pennyworths of liver, which some time back was not sold for food. Mr. JOSEPH WALKER, of Wolverhampton, moved the next reFolutien :-" That inasmuch as the complicated evils under which the country now suffers are shown to be the natural fruits of monopoly, this meeting depre cates all legislative interference with industry, and pledges itself to adopt all peaceful and legal means to obtain a total and immediate abolition of the Corn and Provision-laws." Jc/SEPH STURGE, Esq., next addressed the meeting, anti in the course of his observations, said that they must be determined upon a total repeal, as it was very probable that a modified motion would be brought forward in the House, and the ends they had in view would not be ac complished unless they were firm to their principles, m going unconditionally for the total and immediate aboli tion of the Corn-laws. The resolutions were agreed to unanimously. HOEHOUSE AND CO. s • B NIERUPTCY.--- A There were several meetings under this Commission during the last week, and further debts were proved to the amount of 1,6251. 45., making a total to the present time of .235,9891. Bs. 4d. On Friday some of the former proofs were, on the application of the creditors, expunged or reduced, and on Saturday the bankrupts were further interrogated by the creditors, after which they signed a declaration on oath that they had made a full and true discovery of their estate and effects, both real and personal ; that they had not concealed or em bezzled any part of their property, but had delivered up everything they possessed to the assignees. This closed their examination, and the further busineSs of the bankruptcy now stands postponed till the end of April. In the interim the assignees will be actively engaged in their onerous duties of realizing the bank rupts' property, and getting in the outstanding assets. On the 27th of April the assignees will submit their ac counts to the Commilisioners to be audited ; on the 30th of April there will be a further meeting for the proof of debts ; and on the 2d of May a dividend will be declared. —Bath Chronicle. DEATH OF INDEPENDENCE.—This famous old horse, formerly the property of the late Mr. Beardsworth, died on Sunday week at Hedgeford, aged sixteen years. In the course of his: racing career he won forty races, including 15 gold cups, and gold cup stakes. He carried off the Leamington Stakes twice, the Warwick Cup twice, the Nottingham Cup twice, and the Chester Trade Cup, and the Wolverhampton Trade and Cleveland Cups. Ile was purchased at the sale of Mr. Beardsworth's stud by Mr. Flintoff, that he should not fall into other hands to be abused in his old age, and with a determination to keep him as long as he lived. He continued as fresh, and ap parently as healthy to within forty-eight hours of his death (which was caused by inflammation) as he was the first day he reached Mr. Flintoff, in whose stables he continued fifteen years.— Worcestershire Chronicle.

IMPORTATION OF AFRICANS INTO TRI NIDAD.—We do not mean to ascribe, either to Trinidad planters in general, or to Mr. Burnley in particular, in sincerity in their professed regard for these objects ; but we cannot hesitate to express our belief that it is not on account of its humane results that they are longing to export Africans to the West Indies. We surely do them no wrong 'in saying that their object is profit. What they want is to cheapen and extend the manufacture of sugar. Had it not been for this, no plan for extinguish ing the slave-trade, or improving the Africans, would ever have emanated from them, and, least of all, this par ticular plan of a copious emigration to Trinidad. It is unfair, therefore, to frame this argument as though the planters were actuated by benevolent motives, and as though persons not concurring with them must be hostile to their benevolent designs. Mr. Burnley represents his proposal as " a plan of liberating African slaves." This is too bad. It is a plan for buying African slaves. In no sense is it a plan for liberating them, but that (as is alleged) they are to be set free when bought. But as, on the one hand, this allegation, if it were true, could never sanction the institution of an African traffic in slaves, so, on the other, the allegation itself is untrue. Not one so purchased will have the name of freedom till he reaches Trinidad, or the substance of it when he ar rives there. The thing intended is a forcible expatria tion, and . ft state of compulsory servitude ; and this is called conferring liberty ! COLBURN'S NEW MONTHLY MAGAZINE, FOR FEBRUARY.—The New Monthly Magazine, under the able editorship of Mr. Thomas Hood, continues to maintain its high character ;_ and extraordinary exer tions appear to have been used to make the forthcoming number attractive. Mr. Jerrold has brought to a clever conclusion his amusing " Bajazet Gag, or the Manager in Search of a Star." Nimrod has contributed an ad mirable article on Foreign Sporting. The " Recollec tions of Eton," by an Etonian, are continued with greatly increased interest. The author of " Paul Pry" has furnished another chapter of " Phineas Quiddy," which deserves 'to be considered the most amusing por tion of that exceedingly graphic story; and the author of " Peter Priggins" has added such materials from the " Proctor's Note-book," as cannot fail to recommend his scenes of Oxford life to readers of every class. A fund of quaint humour may be found in the paper "On the Usefulness of Inutilities ;" and the " School for Scolds, or the Memorabilia of Xantippe," appeals to a very large circle quite as effectively. Mr. Laman Blan chard has also an article in his humorous manner, called " Contents, or Non-Contents." Horace Smith still in vites attention to his " Short Rides in an Author's Omni bus." Under the title of " CElian's Patchwork" we are furnished with some singular fragments of classical gossip ; whilst in " Christmas in Norway," we have a seasonable description of a merry Christmas in the North. There is also an able article on the Life and Times of Madame d'Arblay; in addition to which ther e is very great attraction in the " Tower of Lanech," a Romance, by the Editor, and, by the same popular hand, " Lines to Dickens, on his Departure for A mer i ca. " At eleven o'c lock yesterday his Majesty the King of Prussia and Suite honoured the establishment of Messrs. Mortimer and Hunt, of New Bond -street, with a lengthened visit, and his Majesty was pleased to express in tlattering terms his approbation of the great taste and style introduced in the several „services of plate which they have in hand, as well as of the perfection of their manufacture of jewellery.
