The strain of sentiment is such as does infinite honour to the Anthor's heart; and the observation of human life, by *hi " every page is characterised, speaks a bold, active, and philosophical intellect.

The Leeds Mercury says, " However much we have been led from time to time to speak in admiration of the Work of a similar kind to this, now publishing in Lon don, we cannot help expressing our opinion as still higher of the Glasgow Mechanics' Magazine. It appears to be conducted by a set of practical men, who understand well what they arc about, and who are well calculated to the task they have undertaken. The plates are all engraved on copper, and in a manner not inferior to the moat ex pensive Scientific Journals now publishing. All the Lon don cheap Periodic is have only got wood engravings, which do not anal cannot show the minute lines of ma chinery half so well as a copper-plate engraving. The work has become exvedingly and deservedly popular wherever it has been introduced, and we venture to say it will be found no less useful. It reflects credit on its COR doctors and Publishers."

By a Medical Officer in the Royal Nary. THE CONFESSIONS OF AN UNEXECUTED FEMICIDE. Third Edition, price Sixpence. " Under this title a most extraordinary work has been recently published by Mr. M'Phin, bookseller, of Glasgow. As many of our readers, after perusal, may be apt, to con clude, as we at first did, that The Confessions of a Femi cide' ix a work of pure fiction, it is imetimbant on ns to ex plain the reasons which have induced us to arrive at a different conclusion. Mr. llPPliun is a gentleman of great respectability, and we felt convinced that he would not de liberately palm upon the public, as true, a horrid and ap palling story, which had no foundation in fact. There would have been no excuse for such conduct, as he possessed the means of detecting the imposture, by ascertaining whether any murder had taken place in Scotland, twenty years ago, under the extraordinary circumstances described in Mr. Itl'Phan's narrative. lie might also, with very little trouble, have traced out the register of the alleged trial. These were the reasons that led us to conclude that the story, shocking mid unnatural as it is, could not wholly be destitute of foundation in fact. We also thought, that if the story had been entirely a romance, the author would not have ventured to make its character so thorough-paced villain; for, however strange the assertion may appear, it is a melancholy truth, that more unnatural crimes have been perpetrated in reality than any writer of fiction has had the hardihood to introduee into romance. If any author were to found a story upon the circumstance of a father cutting off his own child's head, his readers would turn with disgust from so gratuitous an outrage upon feel ing and probability. Sheen, however, did in reality cut off the head of his own child ; and did that act, too, in a sane state of mind, if we may so conclude from the Judge suffering him, after his attempt, to go at large. " In conclusion, we assure our readers, that the main incident related in the confessions is true. Motives of deli oacy have induced the writer to substitute Stirling in place if Glasgow, and to take some other liberties with the narrative ; but the murder was committed ; the murderer was tried, and he escaped, as related, by his servants swearing an alibi."—Liverpool Mercury.

I_ADZES of a cold, acrid, or bilious habit of body, affected with languor, head-ache, or hys terical affections, cannot have recourse to a more salutary remedy than the Cordial Balm of Gilead. To Gentlemen from the East or West Indies, the Student from public seminaries, or those whose occupations require a sedentary life, this:medicine has effected wonderful cures in cases of debility, originating from heat of climate, or relaxations from juvenile indiscretions, and the effects of intense appli cation to study or business. To be had at Gilead House, near Liverpool ; of Mr. Johnston, 68, Cornhill ; Mr. `;anger (late Bacon and Co.), 150, Oxford-street ; Mr. Ward, Holborn ; Mr. Henry Mackeill, 33, Wbitechspel, London ; and by all the principal Venders of Patent Medicines throughout the United Kingdom, price 115. per bottle, or four in one Family Bottle for 335., by which one 11s. bottle is saved, with the words " Saud.

AS a mild and effectual remedy for those disorders which originate in a morbid action of the Liver and Biliary Organs, namely, Indigestion, Los■ of Appetite, Head-ache, heart-burn, Flatulencies, Spume, Costiveness, Affections of the Liver, &c. &e., DIXON'S ANTIBILIOUS PILLS (which do not contain mercury in any shape) have met with more general approval than any other Medicine whatsoever. They unite every recom mendation of mild operation with successful effect; and re quire no constraint or confinement whatever during their use. In tropical climates, where the consequences of redundant and vitiated bile are so prevalent and alarming, they are an invaluable and efficient protection. They are likewise peculiarly calculated to correct disorders arising from ex °eases of the table, to restore the tone of the stomach, and to remove most complaint. occasioned by irregularity of the bowels.

The supply of Wheat to-day from the farmers is to a fair extent, the condition generally indifferent ; at the com mencement of the market more money was demanded, but having few country buyers, and the millers not being anxious, purchasers would not comply with any advance ; there has, eonsequently, been but a limited business doing, and that without any alteration from the currency of last week, on all qualities, both of English and foreign. The communication with the interior being again free, more buyers may be expected, and better trade anticipated. Oats remain in the same dull and lifeless state, very little passing in them, and prices without alteration. New Beans are in more inquiry, but no advance can be noted ; good parcels of old are steady at the currency stated below. Barley for malting not so free as last week, and a fair quantity offering; grinding very bad to quit, even at very low prices. Not much doing in rapeseed or linseed, and the prices the same.

There was a thin attendance of either town or country dealers at our market to-day, and the trade in Wheat was dull ; the finer descriptions barely supported our last week's currency, and inferior was offering at a decline of I d, to 2d. per 701bs. Oats were taken more freely, both by the trade and on speculation, and for some prime parcels (of which no great quantity was offering) id. per bushel over our former quotations was obtained : holders are generally very firm, anticipating higher prices. In the value of Barley no change. There was rather more inquiry for Flour, and superfine parcels were quite as dear. Oatmeal brought fully last week's prices. In other articles no alteration. EAST INDIA. (From the Times) Letters from respectable sources in India repre sent in strosig language the bad effects resulting from the system which has been pursued by the Company with regard to the administration of jus tice, and to the deduction from the army of its sti pulated pay and allowances. It is stated, that the purpose for which the Bombay Judges had issued their writ of habeas corpus, and thereby incurred the anger of Lord Ellenborough, was to enforce the production of witnesses who nsight have given evi dence in favour of a native then under prosecution by the local Government of Bombay. But it seems hardly credible that Sir John Malcolm could have interposed against an authority exercised with a view to the defence of a party whom he himself was pro secuting. Such an imputation would be toe dread ful to maintain: we are therefore the more anxious to know the circumstances in which a charge (if true, so disgraceful) could have originated. One point, indeed, which has not yet been resolved to our satisfaction, would furnish materials for settling the present question, to far as its legal merits are involved. had ge Supreme Court jurisdiction, or had it not, over those parties in respect of whom the writ of hakas corpus was issued ? If the jurisdic tion existed, to disturb its exercise ought to bring down impeachment on its authors. If a jurisdiction of a nature so beneficial and so salutary were even doubtful, to determine against it was an act of gross i:npolicy, and the Governor ought at once to be re called. It is only in case of the Court having clearly outstepped its powers, and usurped a prerogative not conveyed to it by hi s Majesty's commission, or by act of Parliam en t, that Sir John Malcolm can stand exculpated, and the promotion of Lord Ellenbo rough's two " tame elephants" defended. There can, we believe, be no doubt that throughout India the authority of what are called the " Supreme English Courts of Justice" for controlling and re buking the iniquities of Ow Company's tribunals, is looked up to by the natives as a beneficent and protectin g power, and that they fly to it on import ant opportunities as an unfailing sanctuary from oppression. The jurisdiction, therefore, of such Courts ought, we submit, to be strengthened and extended rather than in any manner thwarted, and their Judges ought to be selected rather for a spirit of sturdy professional independence, than for that sort of " notion of their duty" which consists of complaisance towards the will of governors and the maxims of military rule. The state of the Bengal army is by another correspondent described to be most distressing, and its temper formidable. But there, again, one short interrogatory will go far to wards deciding the merits of the case—viz. has faith been broken with the officers ? If not, the whole question is one of policy, of which it would be pre sumption in these military gentlemen to assume, and pitiable weakness in the Government to admit, that they were competent judges. EXTRACT OF A LETTER. FROM. CALCUTTA, DATED SEPT. 13. " We are privately aware that the Privy Council, er at bast a political majority, have decided iu favour of . , Governor Malcolm against Mr. Justice ' Grant ! But such a decision does not make law. Nothing short of a declaratory act can do that, and the Judges here, who are infinitely hurt and displeased with the result of those do ings, will eertainly no more regard it, than did the Bum my Court the decision of the same illustrious body re specting the now obselete Bengal law respecting the press. Sir".l. Malcolm has put the comblc to his judicial iniqui• ties, by his last violence—that of resisting by force the subroceams and habeas corpus ad subjiciendurrt, (not ad sathjictieudym), directed to the main and fndispensable witnesses required by Madoo Sewbah, prosecuted by Go • vernrrient for perjury, criminally, in having sworn that afldavt last Year, out of which the habeas corpus ad stiljieleitdum arose, which was then resisted by Governor alleged grounds of political expadienry wholly fictitious and unfounded. The distinction between the two writs of habeas is familiar to all lawyers, and the writ to produce a witness withheld, is not only essential absolutely to all courts and all justice, but has been habi tually issued by every King's Court in India since 1774 without objection or dispute. The case is infinitely ag gravated by the fact that Government was prosecuting the man whose witnesses it withheld, for a crime which those witnesses were naturally the best evidence fur either party, if not the sole efficient witnesses. It is supposed that the law advisers of Sir J. Malcolm (among whom is counted the notoriously unfit new Chief Justice Dewar) had net wit or knowledge enough to set him tight on.this point of legal distinction ; but since the first resistance, they are said to have taken fright and recommended submission. It is sad to see every puny whipster of a civil or military functionary taking the tone of the Bombsy Governor, and insulting and impeding the King's Court. Doubtless some attempt will be made next session to have these dis putes settled by a declaratory law. The friends of good gavernment in India should be on their guard, and the inteerity and independence of the King's Courts ought to be the especial object of their attention ; for, with all their faults of expense and delay, they are immeasurably supe rior to the wretched tribunals of the Company. In them, and them alone, a man is sure of bring at least fully heard, and, what is not of less consequence, publicly heard. The King's Courts, in short, are the only shadow of a constitutional institution which we possess,—the only bodies independent of the vast despotism which every where surrounds him. Instead of curtailing their power And influence, these should be gradually extended. To every unprejudiced Englishman here it is notorious, that men of property and knowledge among the natives neither fear nor dislike the King's Courts. The very reverse is the case, and how indeed should it be other wise, for no where else are they sure of safety and pro tection ? In all important transactions, the natives wil lingly covenant to subject themselves to the King's courts, who are locally and personally exempt without such co venant. The impending insurrections and other evils with which Sir John Malcolm and other servants of the East India Company have endeavoured to alarm the Eng lish public, on the subject of extending English 1 rw, are what are vulgarly but pertinently called sack-and_buii stories, and here, at least, are treated with contempt, which they well deserve. I refer, with confidence, for their exposure to the deep and universal regret of the whole native community of Bombay, on the death of the late Chief Justice, Sir Edward West, the most inflexible and uncourtecus Judge that ever sat on the Indian bench, and to the affectionate expression of their sorrow contained in their address to his successor. Never was a Judge upon worse terms with two successive Governors than Sir Ed ward West, and yet it is the jurisdiction of which he was at the head which it is now pretended that the natives of India hold in dread and abhorrence. The abhorrence in which all native functionaries hold the King's Courts arises solely from the natural hatred of absolute power to wards restraints, checks, and publicity. Their very dis like is a prima facie evidence for concluding that these courts are eminently useful and beneficial. Let it be re membered that substantially the dispute between the Go vernor of Bombay and the King's Court originates in a pretension of the Company's functionaries to prevent na tives who seek the protection of the English law, and seek it in rare eases of oppression only because of its costliness, from being allowed their choice of a tribunal, which, by Sir John Malcolm's own hypothesis, they would not pre fer if an appeal to it were in •their power. But, after all, the habeas corpus ad suljieiendum does not lead to die charge of a prisoner lawfully and justly dealt with by com petent authority, and only to inquiry, in the first instance, as to the legality of duress previously sworn to exist. The King's courts in India were first erected for the avowed purpose of over-awing and checking the despotism of the Company's servants. After between fifty and sixty years of the benefits derived from these courts, are we really again, when the tranquillity and stability of our dominion is confirmed beyond all hope or expectation, to he thrown hack into the state of lawless anarchy which existed before their establishment ? Those who, by misrepresentations to the Home authorities, would propose measures to im pair the efficiency of and independency of the King's courts, deserve the execration of their countrymen, and are unworthy of the name of Englishmen. In a period of 57 years, there have existed but four or five cases of colli sion between the King's Judges and Company's Gover nors. These examples have been much insisted on, but of the subserviency of the Judges to the Governors we hear nothing, although this be by far the most frequent offence, and that from which the Indian community has most to apprehend." MA RICE:I Beef Mutton Veal Lamb.— Pork O. to 31. 1: - 54 - 46 - 42 - 44 d. to d. 4 6 4 6 5 6 6 7 5 6 EXTRACT OF A LETTER FROM CALCUTTA, DATED SEPTE3II36IL 15. " I have but little to tell you in the way of news here. The army is in a state of geeat irritation and sullen dis content about the half-batta question. They do not yield a jot of their position that public faith has been broken with them, and not without sufficient reason. They blame the Board of Controul even more than their own dishonest masters, because the agreement of 1795-6 with the agents of the army in England, and which prevented at the time an universal mutiny from breaking out, was virtually concluded, and indeed sealed in all its details by the then President of the Board, Mr. Dundas, and Mr. Pitt, the Premier, an ex-officio member ; the Directors having been put completely on one side. Surely nothing can have been more imprudent or less statesman-like than Lord William Bentinck's conduct in the whole of this affair. He seems to have been so eager to carry the mea sure of reduction into effect as to have lost sight of ordi nary discretion. However resolute in executing the orders he had received, he should at least from prudence, and to allay irritation, if determined net to imitate the wholesome disobedience of all his predecessors, have thrown a decent reluctance, instead of affronting the Commander-in-Chief, and offending the whole army, by waving all ordinary forms of decorous delay, and issuing the orders without ever consulting Lord Combermere at all. His Lordship's eagerness, indeed, seduced him to go beyond the letter of his instructions. This more particu larly refers to the corps of artillery, consisting, horse and foot, of ten regiments. The artillery, therefore, is in a state of peculiar excitement, and the members of it are influential, both from superior education, and their being diffused all over the stations of the army. In respect to the hurry of carrying the orders for half batta into effect, I should notice to you the peculiar severity that arose from that circumstance. A general relief was going on, and would have been completed by the end of January : the orders were issued on the 29th of November, to have effect from the Ist January, at the four ' condemned stations.'— This exactly intercepted many unfortunate corps already on the march, some coming to Barrackpore from Kur naul, 1,000 miles cr more, and sorely suffering in purse and person by such a march. It is impossible to convince any plain man that this severity was uct. designed by Go vernment,—a severity which, as the Commander-in-Chief justly said, would have been avoided by the more natural delay of a reference to hint, then in the upper provinces, or by his pointing out its especiml cruelty. In addition to ' all this, the Governor has interpreted all references on doubtful constructions of his half batta orders, invariably in the most harsh and unfavourable manner. All officers of full batta corps at half batta stations, arriving and join ing their corps, have been declared entitled only to half, although the wording of the orders had professed to con template corps, and not individuals; and althou;1), at any rate, it would have looked kind and considerate to Ove people the benefit of any doubt, even in so hard a case.— Then, to complete the measure of discontent, the Military FinanceCommittee,consisting of a field officer from each pre sidency, has been encouraged to recommend to Government an extension of half-batta to the whole army,—a measure never contemplated even by the authorities at home. Colonel C. sf the Madras army, and Colonel F. of the Bombay, contrived on this—and, indeed, contrive on all - &P,c possible occasions—to o t ft . yOONfiv4y,J7ang m. ml cc, :Major C. ; and, as Colonel C.li Sladrac arqs"non , _ mice of thtlGovernor-General's, and aultp c s,si i hay „ touch influence laser him, the gratsitous and odious recom mendation of putting the wiled° army en half-hatta ascribed by the public to Lord William Ilistinck —how truly, the parties best know; het at all ev,:nts it is difficult to imagine any thing more unwise than the agitation of such a project at such a moment. Anetia r circumstance has much offended the Commander-in-Chief, and added to the irritation of the artillery,--a redectiett of two troops and companies in each cavalry and infantry regiment. A reduction of officers or of men, in case of nesessity, cannot be helped, nor does this form any reasonable ground of blame ; but want of attention to peculiar circumstencee, which niche be pointed out by the experience of the Staff, and breath less, heedless haste, are most blameable. The reduction; in the strength if the army have chiefly affected the native portion of it. Our Sepoys were just beginning to rover their good humour, soured by several circumstances too well known to need repetition. This sweeping reduction, amounting to one-fifth part of the whole native cavalry and infantry of the army, throws back as supernumeraries four officers and twenty non-commissioned officers in every regiment. You know how slow promotion is with these people, and of what value these little prizes are under our exclusive system in regard to the natives; not only were the individuals immediately concerned vexed and disap pointed, but at the very least an equal number of earls grade next below expectants of promotion, and in par ticular some scores of the old patient Sepoys, whose hopes of preferment are indefinitely retarded. The mere especial caution was required in this matter, because the Sepoys, like their countrymen in general, are ereatnree of Lactic, and custom, and from the nature and history °four Indian army constantly progressive, such a thing as reduction of regular commissioned and nottseommissioned officers had been hitherto unknown. One immediate effect of this measure, I fear, has been to postpone the abolition of that long-continued disgrace to our administration, the homing of widows, the only plausible objection to which was the dissatisfaction it might have caused among the Hindu soldiery. A year ago this objection was a mere bug-hear. The Governor-General was then told so by numbers of experienced persons whom he consulted; hut many of those same individuals now consider that the abolition would be hazardous in the dissatisfied state of the Sepoys, who are, like the mere peasantry of most conntries, simple creatures, and might, in their present state of excitement, he worked upon by designing and discontented priests, faqueers, and foreign emissaries, with more effect when they are suffering from novel and 'eerie ordinances." LAST MOMENTS OF CAPTAIN CLAPPERTON. The violence of my grief having subsided, Pasko and Mudey, whom my exclamations had brought into the apartment, fetched me water, with which I washed the corpse, and with tl►eir assistance, carried it outside the hut, laid it on a clean mat, and wrapped it in a sheet and blanket. After leaving it in this state nearly two hours, I put a large neat mat over the whole, and sent a messenger to make Bello ac quainted with the mournful event, as well as to obtain his permission to have the body btnicd after the manner of my own country ; and also to learn in what particular place the Sultan would wish to have it interred. The man soon returned with a favourable answer to the former part of my request, and about twelve o'clock on the morning of the same day, a person came into the hut, accompanied by four slaves, to dig the grave ; and wished me to follow him with the -...orpse. Accordingly, saddling my camel, the body was pl►,ced on the animal's back, and throwing a British flag over it, I requested the men to proceed. Having passed through the dismal streets of Soccatoo, we travelled almost unobservedly, at a solemn pace, and halted near Jungavie, a small village, built on a rising ground about five miles south-east of the city. The body was then taken from the camel's back, and placed in a shed, whilst the slaves were em ployed in digging the grave. Their task being speedily accomplished, the corpse was borne to the brink of the pit, and I planted the flag close to it ; then, uncovering my head, and opening a prayer-book, amidst showers of tears, I read the impressive funeral service of the Church of England over the remains of my valued master —the English flag waving slowly and mourn fully over them at the same moment. Not a single soul listened to this peculiarly distressing ceremony ; for the slaves were quarrelling with each other the whole of the time it lasted. This being done, the flag was taken away, and the body slowly lowered Into the earth ; and I wept bitterly as I gazed, for a last time, on all that remained of my intrepid and beloved master. The grave was quickly closed, and I returned to the village, about thirty yards to the eastward of it, and giving the most respectable inhabitants of both sexes a few trifling presents, entreated them to let no one disturb the ashes of the dead ; and also offered them a sum of money to erect a shed over the spot, which having accepted, they promised to do. Thus perished, and thus was buried, Captain Hugh Clapperton in the prime of life, and in the strength and vigour of his manhood. No one could be better qualified than he by a fear less, indomitable spirit, and utter contempt of danger and death, to undertake and carry into execution an enterprise of so great importance and difficulty, as the one with which he was entrusted. He had studied the African charac ter in all its phases—in ite moral, social, and external form : and like Alcibiades accommo dated himself with equal ease to good, as well as to bad fortune—to prosperity, as well as to adversity. He was never h►ghly elated at the prospect of accomplishing his darling wishes— the great object of his ambition—nor deeply depressed when, environed by danger —care, disappointment, and bodily suffering which hanging heavily upon him, forbade him to in dulge in hopeful anticipations. The negro loved him, because he admired the simplic►ty of his manners, and mingled with pleasure in his fa vourite dance ; the Arab hated him, because he was overawed by his commanding appear ance, and because the keen penetrating glance of the British Captain detected his guilty thoughts, and made him quail with apprehension and fear. Captain Clapperton's stature was tall ; his disposition was warm and benevolent, his tem per mild, even, and cheerful ; while his ingenu ous manly countenance, portrayed the generous emotions that reigned in his breast. In fine, he united the ;figure and determination of a man, with the gentleness and simplicity of a child ; and, if I mistake not, he will lire in the me mory of many thousands of Africans, until they cease to breathe, as something more than mor tal ; nor have I the least doubt that the period of his visiting their country will be regarded by some as :a new era, from which all events of consequence, that affect them, will hereafter be dated. The grave was dug on a naked piece of ground, with no remarkable object near it to invite attention ;—no mournful cypress or yew weeps over the lonely spot—no sculptured mar ble shines above all that remains of heroic enter prize and daring adventure I But the sleeper needs no funeral emblem to perpetuate his name and actions, having erected for himself a nobler and far more imperishable mausoleum in the breasts of his countrymen and the civi lized world, than all the artists in the universe could rear over his ashes.—Lander's African Itccords.
