(Before Mr. Sergeant ARABIN.) Edward Llojd, aged 26, stood capitally in dicted for stealing, on the 11th of July, seven sheep, the property of James Heygate. The sheep were taken out of a field at Hampstead, and were afterwards recovered by the owner. The evidence against the prisoner depended upon a person named Goss, who admitted he had been eight times in custody, and once convicted of felony. !qr. Serjeant ARABIN considered his testi mony two loose and contradictory to warrant the Jury to find him guilty, and therefore he was acquitted. The prisoner was also tried for stealing a calf, the property of George Baines, and was also acquitted of that charge. (Before Mr. Justice GASELEE and Mr. Baron VaucalaN.) FORGERY. George Haig, aged 18, was capitally indict ed for forging and uttering a cheque on the 25th May, upon Messrs. Coutts, and Co. for the payment of 30/., with intent to cheat and defraud Henry Baldwin. _ _ Mr. CLARKSON stated the case on behalf of the prosecution. He admitted that the Jury might discharge from their consideration the first count, namely, having forged the instrument in the county from which he was committed, but should the facts in support of the other count be made out, namely, the uttering of the cheque, well knowing it to have been forged, the result would be equally penal. He entreat ed the Jury to give the evidence their gravest consideration. Henry Baldwin sworn.—l am a tailor and draper, residing in Cheapside, I know the pri soner. On the 14th May, I saw him at my shop ; he said he wanted a pair of trowsers and waist coat made by one o'clock next day. He de posited 51. He said further he wanted a Greek uniform, and gave a direction to Mr. Currie, of Regent -street, to get the pattern of it. He said he would call again in two hours. He did call again, and was measured ; he then left 151. to be taken care of till the evening. He was going out into the City, and he thought he might as well leave it with me. He said lie wanted to go out to join Lord Cochrane ; he would have a letter of recommendation or introduction to Lord C. to get an appointment from Col. Stanhope. He return ed again at about 9 o'clock, or a little afterwards, and I returned to him the 151. ; the Si. he had first paid me I retained. He called subsequently several times to settle, some of which I did not see him. On the 24th or 25th of the same month he called to settle the account in the even ing, having called the previous day to desire the account to be made out. He presented a bill for the payment. I said I should want discount. He then said can you give me change for a checque. The checque was for 30/. ; I gave him cash. He did not so whose the cheque was. This was in the counting-house. I de sired him to write his name on the back of the cheque, which he did. I gave him the difference between the balance of his account and the cheque, minus the discount. He then asked for the return of the deposit. I returned him the 51. It was raining, and he asked me to lend him an umbrella, which he would zeturn to me in the morning. I lent him one. The uni form was all made. He did not take the uni form with him ; it was all ready, and a chest for it. I never saw him again till I saw him in cus tody, which was on the Ist September. The cheque I now produce is the one the prisoner gave me. Cross-examined by M-. BRODER ICK.--I have two persons who serve in the shop with me : they are both here. The prisoner came to my house openly. At the time I received the cheque, the uniform amounting to 201., was ready, but he did not ask for it. When the cheque was given to me, no one was present but our two selves. I believe I have a correct recol lection of all that passed. He did not tell me it was a cheque that he had cashed. I do not know that I was at home the whole of the next day ; I was at home a part of it. He put his name of G. Haig on the cheque : 1 believe that to be his real name. That is the name he gave to me all along. By the BENCH.---He had the waistcoat and trowsers on the second day on which he called. Besides those he had a jacket. I gave him in cash about Si., besides returning the deposit. Francis Blanchard, foreman of last witness, saw the prisoner in his master's shop on the 14th May. On that day I measured him for a Midshipman's uniform in the Greek service. I did not know at the moment what that uniform was. He gave me the address of Mr. Currie, who he had understood h a d ma d e un if orms for that service, and told me I should get all ne cessary information there. I went to Mr. Cur rie, but could get no information. On the 24th or 25th May I saw the prisoner at the shop ; on the morning following, I took the cheque to Messrs. Coutts and Co.'s banking-h ouse , but did not receive the cheque. On the Ist September, turning round Walbrook into Bucklersbury, I saw him ; I told him he was a pretty sort of fellow, to have ordered a uniform of my master, and to have given him a bad cheque. He denied it ; he walked off two or three steps, and then ran up by the back of the Mansion-house. I pursued . him and cried " Stop thief ;" I overtook him, seized him by the collar, brought him to the Mansion-house, and gave him in charge. I returned from Mess. Coutts's between ten and eleven in the morning. He never called at the shop again. Cross-examined.—The prisoner merely gave me Currie address to get the uniform there. I did not get information there, but got it at a nother place. When I called out " stop thief," lie appeared not to be able to run at all, and I overtook him. Ile ran from ono side to the other, and slackened his paeo. George Mack, another servant of the prose cutor.--I saw the prisoner wh en h e f i rst call e d. 1 saw .him a t the . Mansion-house. Not to my there any threat or p rom i se h e ld knowledge was out to him before I heard him say som e thi ng at the Mansion-house. In my presenc e , an d i n the presence of last witness , and Turnpenny, an officer, be said lie was very sorry ; he h a d intended to call and pay Mr. Baldwin.-- Turnpenny said it was a forger/ ; the prisoner said it was not, he could bring witnesses to prove he did not write it ; lie bad been to . France in Pursuit of the person he took it of: He said n o more. Cr oss examined—This was the account he gave t o t h e Henry officer. Turnpenny, a police officer —The pri soner WU put into my custody on the Ist of Sept., before ten in the morning. He was examined on th e same day. I believe previously to the examination I said it was a forgery, and h e said cc No, I can prove to the contrary of that," and I think 14 said lit had been to fratice• I knew the prisoner before ; he was before the Lord Mayor on a charge of an affray with some bad girls, but not from any charge of felony ; he was discharged immediately. Richard Minshaw, a clerk in the house of Coutts and Co.—We have several customers of the name of Stanhope. We have the Dowager Countess Stanhope, whose christian name is Louisa. We have no other customers of the name of Stanhope, whose Christian names begin with L. Ido not know the hand-writing of the cheque produced. James Powell, clerk to Cox and Greenwood, army agents—We have several customers called Stanhope, Col. Lincoln Stanhope, and Colonel Leicester Stanhope, are both customers of the house. The cheque now produced is not of the hand-writing of either of the Colonels. Stanhope. Cross-examined.—l cannot say there are several customers, whose hand-writing I don't know. I have seen Col. Leicester Stanhope write, but never saw Col. Lincoln Stanhope write. I have seen several cheques marked as paid in honor of Colonel Lincoln Stanhope's papers. I believe the two are related.— There are other gentlemen of the name of Stanhope customers of the house, whose business does not come into my department of the office. Colonel Lincoln writes his Christian name in full invariably, as does Colonel Leicester. . • This closed the case for the prosecution. The prisoner being called on for his defence, said that under the peculiar circumstances of the case, he could not bring forward witnesses to prove that he had given cash for the cheque; but the fact was, that he had given cash for it to a young man, who said he was a nephew to Col. Stanhope, who he' believed was also going to join the Greeks, and through whom he was in hopes of having got an introduction to Lord Cochrane, that would have been of use to him in forwarding his views. There was one person in particular, who saw the cash given by him for the cheque, but who would not come forward for fear of sustaining an injury in the office he held, should he appear, the cash hav ing been given for it at a gaming table. The morning after he paid it, he ascertained it was not genuine. Jonathan Anderson, a bread and biscuit baker in Leadenhall-street, had known the pri soner well for many years. He had filled va rious situations in London ; his family was most respectable, they principally resided in Scotland. Messrs. Coutts and Co.'s clerk was recalled, and on examining the cheque again, said, as it had not London on it, nor the sum in the cor ner, he would not have paid it. Daniel NPCloud, ship insurance -broker, knew the prisoner for about six years. Knew him to be most industrious and respectable. He had en deavoured to get him a situation, and would have taken him into his own employment had he had a vacancy. By Mr. Justice GASELEE—George Walker, coach-maker, 66, George-street, Portman-square, had known the prisoner for nine years. During that time his character had always been upright. His parents were highly respectable in Edin burgh. He had a brother a clerk at the Leith and Glasgow Wharf, where he had been with credit to himself and family for twelve years. Another gentleman gave the prisoner - an ex cellent character. Tr. Justice GASELEE summed up, and left the case to the Jury. Verdict—Guilty of ut tering the cheque knowing it to have been forged.—Death._ The Jury and prosecutor strongly recommend ed the prisoner to mercy, on account of his good character and youth. were found on him by Furzeman, the constable. —" Guilty." James Smith, aged 19, was indicted for stealing a till, containing a quantity of copper money, on the Bth of September, from the public house of Robert Chapman, Belton-street, Long Acre. The Jury found him " Guilty," but recom mended him to mercy, on account of his previous good character. The COURT, upon enquiry, found that one of his former masters would again employ him, and after fining him one shilling, discharged him. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS DAY•) BOW-STREET. CAUTION TO THE COMMERCIAL WORLD.--Mr. Ch ar l es Berry, flour-factor, of Mount-place, Whitechapel-road, ap peared before Sir R. BIRNIE, to answer to an info rma ti on exhibited against him by the Commissioners of Stamp duties, under the Acts 53 and 55 of the late King, for having given to one Charles Berry, of Bermondsey-street, a receipt for a sum of 11/. 15s. on unstamped paper. Mr. Timms, of the Stamp-office, stated that in conse quence of the manner in which tradesmen evaded the pro visions of the Stamp Act, the Commissioners had at length determined to enforce the penalty allowed by that Act as rigorously as they possibly could, and he therefore hoped the Press, which was ever forward where the publi c were concerned, would make such the determination of the Com missioners generally known. Mr. Browne stated, that he had paid the defendant the sum of 11/. 15s. for flour, and received from him a bill of particulars, with the words " The amount of this bill. paid," written on it by the defendant. The defendant contended, that those words did not constitute a receipt within the meaning of the Act, as there was no signature or initial by which it could appear to whom it had been paid. Sir Richard Birnie said, that that formality was not necessary to constitute a receipt within the meaning of the Stamp Act. It was in proof that the money had been paid to the defendant, and that he inscribed the acknow ledgement of the payment at the foot of the account, which was quite enough to entitle the informer to a conviction. The defendant prayed that the penalty might be miti gated, as it was a first offence. The Magistrates however declined showing any lenity, as they saw there was nothing in the case that called for such an exercise of their discretion. The defendant was then convicted in the full penalty of 10/. and 9s. costs, which lie reluctantly paid and retired. PUBLIC SALE.-(THIS DAY.) BY MESSRS. PEAKE & DAVIS, AT THE MART. A Copyhold Estate, situate near the Market place, Epping, comprising three houses, with shops, gardens, stable, chaise-house, and brewhouse, a dwelling-house in the rear, five brick-built tene ments, and six timber-built and tiled ditto, a de tached stable, cart-shed, and piggery, orchard and an enclosure of meadow-land adjoining; let at 1631. 16s. per annum, held of the Manor of Epping Burg, at an annual quit-rent of Is. 1 lid., and a customary fine on death or alienation—knocked down at 1,7801. THE MARKETS.-(THIS DAY.) CORN EXCHANGE. There are fair quantities of Corn reported this week, chiefly Wheat and Beans. The arrival of Flour is also to lerably good. Most of the dry vamples of Wheat having met buyers on Monday, the market to-day is chiefly com posed of damp parcels, which meet scarcely any attention from the millers, the trade may therefore be reported heavy, at Monday's terms. Barley, Beans, and Pease, are unaltered. Oats firmly maintain last quotations, with a moderate sale. The top price of Flour was settled on Monday at 50s. per sack. ARRIVALS. Wheat.

Jazzes Const, aged 24, stood capitally indict ed for committing a rape on the body of Susannah Poole, in the parish of Stepney, on the 26th July, and Josh. Coltman, an elderly man, stood also indicted for standing by and aiding and abetting Const. Mr. PHILLIPS stated the ease for the prose cution. Const was a toll-keeper, Coltman was a watchman, and the prosecutrix was the daugh ter of a respectable tradesman, from 19 to 23 ; and, on the night in question, the deed was per petrated in the toll-gate-house. Susannah Poole, a delicate-looking girl—l am 23 years of age ; on the 26th July last I lived with my brother and sister, at No. 3, Caroline street, Commercial-road. I spent the evening with my sister, who is married, and lives there. My father and mother are alive. I left my sis ter's at about ten o'clock on the night in question. I was going to my mother's that night for some things. My mother lives in North-street, Step ney. In going through the turnpike-gate I saw Const. I think it was then a quarter to ten. Ile called me by some name, and I walked on with out taking any notice of him. He then came up to me, and took hold of me. I said he was mistaken in the person. He took hold of me round the waist, and took me in the gate-house, and locked the door. I saw no other man when I was taken in there. When he locked the door, I screamed out murder, as loud as I could. When I began to scream he put his hand before my mouth. He used me very ill. He forced my clothes up. I felt very ill and faint, and then he threw me on the ground. I resisted as much as I could. He let me alone a little, and I screamed out mur der. He was very desperate. I screamed murder. I heard a voice outside of the door. I screamed murder three times. It was the watchman outside. The voice said, after I screamed murder—" for God's sake let the female out, we shall get ourselves into trouble." This was after Const had me on the ground. To the best of my recollection I was on the ground for half an hour. He accomplished his purpose then. He got up in consequence of the knock at the door. I got very faint then, and he put me on a chair. He gave me something to drink, but what it was Ido not know. I refused to drink it ; I closed my teeth, and believe most of it went on the floor and my clothes. It was in a wine glass. When the knocking was at the door he opened your rounds, it is all right." it, andAtthi said " go stimelcould not see any one outside. When he got up he ra i se d me up . The door was then closed and locked. After the man outside went away, he began to get me on the ground again. The case was proceeding:when we left the Court. NEW COURT. (Before Mr. Sergeant DENtratt.) ROBBERY IN A WATCH-HOUSE. James Cain, aged 19, was indicted for steal ing a brooch and two half-crovms, the property of John Williams, on the '7th of August last, in the St. Giles's watch-house. The prisoner and the prosecutor were both confined as disorderlies, and both slept in a room of the watch-house.

Of Natives there is an abundance. Most of the salmon brought to Billingsgate this morn ing were seized by the superintendant of the market (Mr. Goldham) as soon as exhibited for sale, and quickly trans ferred from the stalls of the salesmen back to their native element. The fish were quite fresh, but being taken from those fisheries that are or ought to have been closed, they were out of season, at which time they are almost unfit for human food, being full of spawn, and calculated to create disorders of a most dangerous tendency. Independently of which, every salmon taken in that state, is robbing the fishery of perhaps five thousand : as every particle of the roe, it is well known produces a fish. Shortly after the old salmon have spawned their young, they die in the follow ing singular manner :—At the end of a salmon's mouth, our readers may have noticed a. kind of beak or hook, which grows downwards. This hook gradually becomes larger, and at the close of the season, about which time they have their young, the beak extends from the upper to the lower jaw, which fastens up the mouth, so that they literally die of hunger, in consequence of which we never have any very old salmon, unless they are taken at the latter end of the season, and in the state in which those this morning were. WINDSOR, SEPT. 18.—The KING COiItiMICS taking his daily exercise in his phaeton or pleasure-boat ; in the latter he takes great delight, as his MAJESTY has found that exclusions on the lake are very bene ficial to his health.

The King's private band are ordered to be in attendance. On Sunday, after Divine service, the Queen of WURTEII - and Princess AUGUSTA paid a visit to the KING at the Royal Lodge, with whom they partook of an elegant luncheon, and returned to Frogtnore Lodge.

We have not been disappointed in our expectations of good sport, the races to-day having gone off extremely well. The last 24 hours have made great additions to our already numerous visitors, and the town is now full. Amongst the latest arrivals is his Grace the Duke of De vonshire, who was present at the races in his capacity of steward. His Grace visited the course in great state, his carriage being drawn by six beautiful bay horses, and at tended by twelve outriders. Earl Fitzwilliam came in a carriage and six, with twelve outriders, and four mounted servants ; the Noble Earl seemed in the best spirits, and was evidently gratified with the sport. The Grand Stand boasted a good show of fashion, the number of titled ladies being numerous, and the course altogether had a very ani mated and interesting appearance. There were present, the Duke of Leeds ; the Marquises of Londomierry,'Wor. cester,• Blandford, Queensberry, and Cleveland ; Lords Jersey, Wharncliffe, Clanwilliain, Milton, Miltown, Kil burn, and Kennedy; and, in fact, all those whose names we have previously given.—The Duke of Wellington is looked for every hour. The race course was in capital order for running, and was kept with the greatest precision ; all the.: confusion and riot complained of at other courses being prevented here by liberality and good management. - The races were in the following order : The Fitswilliam Stakes of 10 soya. each, with 20 sovs. added by the Corporation, for two-yr-olds, sst. 101 b. three, Bst. four, 9st. five, 9st. tilb. six and aged, Ost. 101 b.

Tom started off at steady running, with Missy close at him ; they continued so once round, and when they got to the Judges' Stand, Tom increased his pace—the filly still at him ; as they neared the Red House, she began to gain upon him, and at the distanca came boldly up, and challenged ; she then got into a very high pace, and kept neck and neck till opposite the Grand Stand, when Missy let loose at the winning chair, she was a length and a half a head ; she was very well rode by James Robinson, the Newmarket jockey. The race was thought to be a very fair one. Hia Majeaty's Plate of 100 gs, for four-yr-olds, 10si. 71b. five, 1 let. 71b. six, 118 t. 121 b. and aged, l2st.

Scott. This race terminated the day's sport, and the eourse was speedily cleared. After a short interval, the new Betting-rooms were crowded by sporting characters of every demmlinatien, and the St. Leger betting benoie as interesting as ever. Mameluke threw a shoe yesterday, and considerably alarmed his friends; but on its being as certained that no mischief was done, confidence was re stored, and to-night he is in higher favour than ever. We are only enabled to state now, that the odds are 6 to 4 agst Mameluke, 5 to 2 agst Granby (taken), 12 to 1 agst Matilda, 15 to 1 agst Lunaria, 20 to 1 agst Reviewer (taken), 23 to 1 agst Medoro, 30 to 1 agst Malek, and the rest as before.

If we look in the faces of the individuals we casually meet with, we can often pronounce with certainty—of one, that he is passionate, zealous, energetic—of another, that he is tranquil, con templative, and active only in speculation—of a third, that he is mentally and morally torpid, and is in fact little better than a goodly machine for converting beef and corn into human nature. Medical writers have observed these facts, and given the name of " temperaments " to those peculiar qualities of constitution, which are found to influence, or we may rather say, to govern, the character of individuals. In their description and classification of these qualities, however, the vagueness of their lan guage, and the wide difference in their con elusions, evidently show that they have no pre cise or systematic ideas on the subject, and that a rational theory of the " temperaments" is yet a desideratum. The first step in supplying this deficiency has been made by Dr. F. Thomas, of Paris—a very distinguished Medical Writer—in his work en titled " Physiologie des Temperarnens ou Con stitutions," published last year. By a process of reasoning which has the merit of being very simple and intelligible, he has traced the temper aments to a clear and rational source in the or ganization of the human body. " On looking at the animal system," says Dr. T., "we find it to consist of three great groups of organs, each group performing distinct functions, but all the parts of each so far analogous as to contribute to one general end. The first group is that contained in the cavity of the cranium, and the general function which it performs is to carry on, or rather to manifest, all the operations of the mind, to constitute the seat of sensation, and to supply nervous- energy to, and to direct the movements of, all parts of the body. The second group is that contained in the cavity of the thorax, and it includes chiefly the lungs and the heart, having for their functions the processes of sanguification and circulation, which have also a general resemblance in their object. The third group is that contained in the cavity of the abdomen, including the stomach, liver, spleen, bowels, &c. each also differing from the other, but all concurring to effect the conversion of food into chyle, and the separation and excretion of the superfluous or injurious particles fiom the system. " All other parts of the body, the limbs, the parieties of the head, thorax, and abdomen, are evidently the mere passive instruments or de fences of these more important animal f►►nctions. The head, thorax, and abdomen, form, in fact, what is properly called the animal ; while the extremities may be wanting, without diminish ing the individuality of a living being. From this we come to the natural conclusion, that whatever a temperament or constitution may be in itself, the causes which give rise to it must exist in one or other or all of these three great groups of organs. And, accordingly, this infer ence of reason is amply borne out by observa tion." The three groups of organs alluded to may be considered as the roots of the temperaments; and in accordance with this idea, we have three primary, ' and four secondary temperaments. The three primary are the encephalic, depending on the development of the brain—the thoracic, depending on the development of the thorax— and the abdominal, depending on the develop ment of the abdomen. The four secondary temperaments are mixtures of these. 1. The Encephalic, or cranial temperament, is distinguished by a relatively large head, large facial angle, moderate sized thorax and abdomen, and spare form. It indicates great energy of passion, sentiment, and intellect, with little acti vity in the heart, lungs, and abdomen. This variety, according to Dr. Thomas, is found highly developed in those men who have dis tinguished themselves by their talents, their virtues, or their vices, in tyrants, chiefs of sects, great authors, such as Cataline, Tiberius, Brutus, Cicero, Pascal, Pope, Moliere, Tasso, Voltaire, Rousseau, all of whom, according to historians, were spare and meagre. Pericles and Socrates were renowned for heads disproportioned to the size of their bodies. In individuals of this class the thorax and abdomen are rarely midi developed : and hence they are seldom robust or vigorous, or their digestion good. This temperament is most predominant between seven years of age and thirty. The mental energy produced by it, when excessive, expends itself in schemes, projects, castle-building, romantic attachments, e rra ti c an d b , strange habits, a passion for adventure, enthusi astic devotion to science, literature, or art. The Encephalic temperament is more frequent in the male than the female, more common in free than in despotic States, in towns than in the country, and among artists and men of science than idle persons or labourers. - The Thoracic temperament is characterized by a small head and a limited abdomen, con trasting with a voluminous and powerful chest. The lungs and heart are large, and produce an abundant sanguification, a full and strong pulse, and an active circulation, with a high animal heat spread equally over the body. The Farnese Hercules is the beau-ideal of this temperament. It fits a man for fatigue and labour, creates a delight in riding, hunting, boxing, athletic games, and all sorts of violent exercises. The health is generally robust in men of this class, the com plexion florid, and th e di seases to w hi c h t h e y are most subject of an inflammatory character. If we descend to the lower animals, we find the thoracic organs very imperfect in the cold-blooded animals, but most amply developed in birds, and accompanied with a higher temperature than in any other species of animals. The Abdominal Temperament is easily re cognised by the large protuberant abdomen, broad pelvis, and abundant developement of the cellular substance over the whole limbs and body. Chyle is formed in large quantity and transformed into fat. The individual is slow in his movements, and his powers are concentrated in his abdomen. His appetite is less keen thai , • in persons o f th e ence ph a li c temperament, b ut his digestion is far better, and he converts greater portion of his food into chyle. He eats little at a time, but often ; digests continually, sleeps much, and leads a tranquil life like that of the herbivorous animals. In worms and zoophytes the abdomen con stitutes the whole animal. In insects a nervous centre, and respi ra t or y an d cir c ul a ti ng apparatu f, a re added, but t h e a bd omen s till great l y pre pen Berates. In reptiles and fishes th e a bdomen less than in i nsec ts; and in bi r d s „nd the mam malia still smaller. Herbivorous animals eat little and often ; their abdominal organs art largely dev e loped, and in continual activity. They form chyle in abundance, and hence then natural fatness. Carnivorous animals, again, wNelt are fcrevi t 9 seek their iced ; eft rely 0 but voraciously, and exercise their thoracic organs much more than their abdominal. The four secondary temperaments are-1, the encephalo-thoracic ; 2, the encephalo-abelo mind ; 3, the thoracic-abdominal ; and 4, the mist. The encephala-thoracic is known by the head and chest being relatively much larger than the abdomen, and by powerful dense muscles, and great moral and physical force. The encephalo-abdominal presents the head and the abdomen largely developed, and a chest small and contracted. The muscles are mode rate in size and plentifully interspersed with cellular substance, whence arises the rounded form and softness of the female. The thoracic-abdominal presents a sidall head, with ample thorax and abdomen, large muscles, bones, and cellular membrane. It indicates mental feebleness, and patient endurance of toil. It is more frequent in Asia and Africa, than in America or Europe. The mixed temperament combines the three primary temperaments, in just and equal propor tions. " The Apollo Belvidere," says Dr. Thomas, "is a beautiful specimen of the mixed eonstitution." This chef d'oeuvre of art represents man in his most perfect type ; there is nothing too weak, and nothing too strong, nothing excess, and nothing deficient. That brain cannot be the seat of too impetuous or too enduring passions, although it can experience them all. The intel lectual faculties, sufficiently developed, do not hurry him on to extravagant conceptions, or wild hypotheses ; his abdominal functions are per formed with facility; the chyle is separated and absorbed in sufficient quantity for the nutrition of his beautiful body." In childhood, the abdomen and brain predo minate. Accordingly, the diseases of children are almost peculiar to these tw o groups of organs, —via. convulsions, epilepsy, affections of the bowels, &e. In youth, the thorax begins to enlarge, the physical powers unfold themselves, the voice changes, the body grows, but the head still retains its supremacy. From 20 to 30, the cranio-thoracic temperament prevails; the moral and physical energy is then great, and the man spews what he is afterwards to become. After 30, an equalization begins to take place between the three great cavities, and from the. gradual developement of the abdomen, the temperament changes to the mixed. , In old age it becomes entirely abdominal Of course, there are nu merous individual exceptions, but this is the general order. " Different temperaments enjoy very different degrees of health, and are subject to different kinds of disease. Themarked encephalic is very prone to over-exercise the brain, and to give rise to convulsive and nervous diseases, hypo chondriasis and mania. From leaving the thorax and abdomen, naturally feeble, unexcited by sufficient supply of nervous energy, the encepha lic is subject also to asthma, bad digestion, and its concomitant evils. The marked thoracic, on the other hand, is subject to all the diseases of excited circulation, such as inflammation and rheumatism. The abdominal enjoys, on the whole, good health and vegetative existence, and his diseases are slow and of long duration. 4 , The cranial or encephalic temperament is one of the most disposed to excess an d di sease ; and when very marked, it is almost always ac companied by discontent, melancholy, and sleep lessness. To obviate those inconveniences, we must moderate the exercise of the brain, in never allowing study or thinking to continue to fatigue ; in removing all the exciting causes of great pas sions, and in employing, on the other hand, the muscles in walking, running, mechanics, hunt ing, gardening, &c. A cheerful residence in a pleasant country, avoiding solitude, heat, and cold, are very effectual with the same view. The tepid bath is most useful in moderating the dryness and inaction of the skin, and thus dimi nishing cerebral excitement. Vegetables, fruits, animal jellies, eggs, and all easily digestible sub stances which furnish much chyle, and develope the abdominal organs, are advantageous ; and tea, coffee, and stimulants, are hurtful. Wine ought to be sparingly used, and always diluted. The meals ought to be small and frequent, and followed by repose and rest, as thinking in the encephalic impedes digestion. Sleep is of great consequence to preserve the health of the en cephal Scotsman.

In Russia it is considered an insult to the master of the house to appear in any of his rooms with a great coat on, which is expected to be left in the hall ; the great coat kept on con veying an imputation that the rooms are not kept warm enough, a point on which the Rus sians very much pride themselves.
