THE BALTIC. ARRIVAL OF FRENCH TROOPS IN THE BALTIC. NYBORG, SaturdayEvening.—Th e British squad ron, consisting of two three-deckers, three two deckers, and three paddle-steamers, have passed the Great Belt, and are steering up the Baltic -without having stopped here. It is expected that they have gone to the Aland Isles, there to meet the Baltic fleets of both countries, and to take possession of them as a per manent station for the land force. AIA RTIAL LAW PROCLAIMED AT RIGA. According to advices from the Baltic of the 9th Instant martial law had been proclaimed at Riga and in the district of the Duna, in consequence of the hostility manifested by the inhabitants towards the Russian Government. INTENDED BOMBARDMENT OF BOMARSUND. DANTZI C , SUNDAY EVENING.—B O MarSUIId, in the Aland Isles, is to be bomba r d e d on th e arrival of the French troops. The fleet has left Baro Sound, and the cholera has nearly disappeared. --- BALTIC FLEET, BARO SOUND, July B.—As we slowly and majestically approached the neighbour hood of the Russian capital how changed did the scenery appear on either shore, when contrasted with the rocky pine -clad hills of the Finland Gulf, tear its entrance at Hango. Our mighty steam fleet, conscious of its strength to punish the haugh tiest of all haughty Autocrats of all the Russias, steamed boldly onwards, disgorging bl ac k vo l umes of sm o k e t h at clouded the ' horizon, and threw the Camp fires of the Russian soldiery into the shade. The Toll Beacon Lighthouse was now in sight, its occupants beating a hasty retreat as the allied fleet advanced to reconnoitre. Up went a signal to the light division of the fleet, when within a few miles of the lighthouse, to " look out for infernal ma chines," or "machines" rather, as the admiral politely though significantly called them, the dear old man evidently having some regard for the fel low's feelings in withholding the word infernal ; but he need not have been delicate on that score, as the signal was plain to the meanest capacity. The vessels despatched on this delicate duty were, the Imperieuse, Arrogant, Desperate, Bulldog, and a French steam-sloop. On they went, fearlessly set ting all such diabolical agencies at defiance, nor stopped until they arrived within dangerous proxi mity to the fortifications. We had a capital view of the enemy. His soldiers, refulgent iu a- SPAIN. The Madrid mail did not arrive in Paris yester day, but it was again reported here that the Go vernment had received a telegraphic despatch, which announced that, after a great deal of fighting in the course of the 19th, Madrid remained on the evening of that day in the hands of the people, who were complete masters of the capital, and that a provisional Government had been proclaimed. The Moniteur, of Monday, announces that a letter from Madrid of the 19th states that the Queen had sent for Espartero, in order to form a Government. The General was at Saragossa on the 20th, and must be now in Madrid. A letter from Madrid says :—" The Gazette an nounces that until the Cortes are convoked the press will be regulated by the law of July 6, 1845. The decree of May 19, respecting the payment in ad vance of the taxes for six months, is recalled." It is said that, according to private accounts received by telegraph from Madrid, to the 20th, the fighting continued in the streets of the Spanish capital, and the neighbourhood of the Queen's Palace, which, however, was not taken by t h e mob. Th e rest of the city' was in the hands of the insurgents. A Provisional Government was in stalled at the Hotel de Ville, of which General Evariste San Miguel was president. The new Government had lost all controul over the insur gents. Every one was calling for the Constituent Cortes. _rniour and in gorgeous trappings, were encamped in legions along the sh. His sailors— or at least th ose dressed as ore such--were on the yards of the Russian ships, exercising sails, regardless of the presence of—and many severe, yet highly amused with a l — naval critics. Yes, theyl actually had sails bent, boats hoisted in, and everythin g Prepared f or sea. What a mockery ! We threw down the gauntlet, but they would not come out. No, nor will they while heavy anchors and strong chains can prevent them, unless indeed the - .h to-' add to the strength of the Anglo-French fleet. Some of theßussian ships are heavy three-deckers; two of them are moored stem to stern across the narrow channel near the dockyard. They are fine looking ships, ,long in the hulls. Two out of nine ships that we counted flew admirals' flags. Rus sian admirals appear numerous, and apparently have nothing better to do than admire their bunt ing in the breeze. The Cronstadt division of the fleet consists, as well as could be distinguished, of 16 line-of-battle ships, eight frigates of various Sizes, and about ten or a dozen small steamers. One of the frigates seemed to be a screw-pro pelled one. There was one small steamer which, for rapidity of movement, might have vied with our CC Vivid." Thi s d espatch boat was pro bably employed by the Emperor for transmitting. lews to Peterhoff, a hands ome mar bl e palace, em bowered i n trees, and vis-a-vis with Cronstadt. Another imperial residence was conspicuous, its Shape in the pavilion style of architecture—if there be such an one. In approaching Cronstadt excite rent did not altogether supersede a good deal of quiet mirth. The flying squadron that had gone ahead in search of the infernal machines came sud denly to a stand off Toll beacon, and like true dogs of war immediately pointed ; a mysterious-looking buoy, with something red attached, appalled them. They were now satisfied of the truth of the infernal machine story. A boat was lowered, which pulled onwards with timid strokes to certain death. They neared the spot. Some thousand strained eyes were fixed upon the dev o t e d crew as they approached the diabolical thing all red. With desperate energy a noose was thrown around its neck, and the boat's crew made frantic efforts to give way to- Wards their ship. The hammock nettings of the ships were crowded with a terrific weight of palpi tating curiosity, but how ridiculous afterwards was 80 much anxiety to see a Russian target from Which, h orresco referees, the flag had ben shot Clean away by the precision of their fire. We have Often ascended the lighthouse, which was aban doned so hastily on our approach that every ar ticle of domestic furniture was left behind by the employe s . We had a commanding view of the place. The admirals, French and English, com modores, ch., all visited the tower to survey the locality. An enemy, more powerful than man, obliged us, on the 2d instant, to withdraw from before the walls of Cronstadt. Great, indeed, Would be the responsibility of a commander re ruining in so affected a locality when a remedy Was at hand. Yet it is thought that the present change of position will not suffice. The doctors in the fleet urged our quitting Cronstadt on account of the cholera there, but they evidently wish us altogether out of the Gulf, and consider a cruise in the Baltic Proper essential towards restoring health I amongst the men. A letter from Saragossa, of the 18th, says that the pronunciamento had succeeded in that city without any fighting. Espartero was expected on the 19th. He had been nominated President of the Junta by universal acclamation. , FR ANCE It is said that Count Montemoli Y n, anied ° General Elio, h as entered Navarre, accom where a e arliSt movement has broken out.

The police, seeing that a crowd was as sembling, hastened the departure of the funeral at seven o'clock instead of eight, which was the hour fixed for it. The procession, which consisted only of the hearse, two mourning coaches, and a few private carriages, then proceeded to Pere la Chaise by the Rue de Charonne. Some ouvriers having attempted to join the cavalcade, the police attempted to prevent them, and a row ensued, in the course of which a considerable number of per sons were arrested. The rest of the affair passed off quietly. ~ The preparations already commenced in Paris, for the fetes of th e 15th o f A ugust, are on a most extensive scale.

A e r m s of deserved companion -plate o ogi those ura by alread y ourselves, inrepre senting the fortificati ons an d t owns o f C rons t a dt and Seb as t opo l— t hi s cleverly-sketched and bril liantly-coloured lithograph presents to the English public at one view the batteries of Sweaborg and the city of Helsingfors. It is a continuation of the series of authentic engravings illustrative of the events of the war with Russia, issued from time to time (as those events transpire) from the Messrs. Paukand Dominic Colnaghi's enterprising and popu lar establishment. It will be remenibered that while the lith ograph of Sebastopol ( or as it was there spelt, Sevastopol) was taken from original drawings by Lieut. Montague O'Reilly, R.N., of H.M.S. Retribution. The lithograph of Cronstadt (or, as it was there, by a somewhat stranger freak of orthography, spelt Krondstadt) was taken from sketches by Mr. E. T. Dolby, the artist sent out for the very purpose of making these sketches by the eminent publishers already mentioned, with the san c ti on o f the Admiralty, and we believe, in deed, if we are not much mistaken, under the ex press patronage of Sir James Graham and the Lords Commissioners. However this latter cir cumstance may be, the lithograph now before us, representing, as we hav e sa id , Sweaborg and Hel singfors—anengraving executed in do u bl e -ti nted lithography , b y Mr. iNr. Simpson, from sketches taken in the Baltic by Mr. E. T. Dolby, a work printed 'ay Messrs. Day and Son, and published by Messrs. Paul and D. Colnaghi—is formally dedicated (by pormission) to Sir James and his Admiralty collerAgues. It forms a picture not unworthy of being inscribed to the Lords Commissioners, and of being placed side by side in the portfolio withh, the previously issued views of Cronstadt and Se bastopol. Authenticated in many particulars by reference to various official documents, the present representation of the batteries of Sweaborg and of the city of Helsingfors has been produced from the actual drawings taken on the spot by Mr. Dolby —drawings now, we learn, in her Majesty's posses sion. The view being a bird's-eye view, enables us to observe in detail the nature of the islands form in;.; the renowned Sweaborg fortifications, together with the construction of the batteries, and the num ber of the guns mounted upon them, and includes besides all this the whole of the picturesque city of Helsingfors. Helsingfors is in the background— the front of the picture being occupied by the grand defence of Sweaborg and its insular fortifications. It is impossible to examine the engraving without being struck by the peculiar resemblance in the situation of these insular batteries of Sweaborg in reference to Helsingfors, and that of the insular batteries of Cronstadt in reference to St. Peters burg. Remarkable ability has been shown in the skilful rapidity with which the lithograph has been produced, and no less remarkable enterprise mani fested in the speed with which one engraving of the kind after another is supplied by the publishers for the gratification of the cariosity naturally enough felt by the people who remain at home in regard to the scenes of the expldits of their gallant fellow-coun trymen, whether by land or by sea, in the Baltic or in the Euxine, alp ng the shores of the Crimea or on those of the Gulf of Finland. ARRIVALS OF SPECIE.--The arrivals this week have been very large, and have reached a total of about 850,0001. ; the whole of which, with the exception of about 150,000/., wl% in gold. The exports are estimated to have amounted to 500,0001., of which 250,0001. con sisted of silver to the East.

TRIUMPH OF " THE BEARD MOVEMENT" IN THE Artinr.—An order was issued a few days ago allowing the troops in the East to wear the moustache, and the beard also, if they please. 'HIS DAY.) CORN EXCHANGE. Our advices from most of the country markets held on Saturday state that the demand for wheat was excessively heavy, at a DECLINE IN PRICE of from THREE SHILLINGS to SIX SHILLINGS per quarter. Barley and oats gave way is, with a very dull inquiry. Flour was offering on lower terms, and the value of other articles was almost nominal. New York letters to the 12th inst. state that bread-stuffs were very dull, and lower. The continental markets have been depressed, and prices have tended downwards. Very limited supplies of English grain arrived here last week. The imports from abroad were 13,281 quarters of wheat, 3,073 barley, 17,596 oats, 2,455 beans, 42 peas, 3,103 linseed, 1,288 rapeseed, 37 sundry seeds, and 2,820 barrels of flour. The quantity of wheat received fresh up to our market to-day, coastwise from Essex and Kent, was limited. From all other quarters the receipts were small. Notwith standing that the supply was comparatively trifling, the demand for all kinds ruled excessively heavy ; indeed, throughout the day scarcely any business was doing, and the quotations were nominally from FIVE SHILLINGS to SIX SHILLINGS per quarter LOWER than on Mon day last, and a clearance was not effected. We learn that the cutting of rye and winter oats has been partially commenced to-day in Essex, and that within ten days harvesting of wheat will b e p re tt y general in our forward dist r i c t s . The market was well supplied with all kinds of foreign wheat. The trade ruled dull in the extreme. Prices fell to some extent; but it is next to impossible to quota the actual decline. Some very inferior wheats were offered at from 7s to Bs—in some instances even more per quarter ; but the FALL may be considered fully SIX SHILLINGS per quarter. At this decline, scarcely any transactions were reported. Since Monday last, 22 ships have arrived off the coast laden with wheat. There was no inquiry for floating car goes to-clay. Barley moved off heavily, and the quotations were is to 2s per quarter lower than last week. In malt, very little was doing, at fully is per quarter less money. We had a fair supply of oats on offer, and which moved heavily, at from 61 to is per quarter beneath last week's currency. In beans, very little was doing, and the quotations gave way is per quarter. Peas were lower with a dull inquiry. The flour trade was depressed at 2s to 3s per sack, and to 2s per barrel beneath last Monday'ss currency. ClailtENCT PER IMPERIAL MEASURE.

Great difficulty was experienced in effecting a clearance. The arrivals of beasts from Lincolnshire, Liecestershire, and Northamptonshire I amounted to 1,750 short horns ; from other parts of Eng land, 1)00 of various breeds ; and, from Scotland, 130 horned and polled Scots. We were well supplied with sheep, at least a moiety of which were beneath the middle quality. Prime old Downs and the best half- breds were in fair request, at full quota tions. Otherwise, the mutton trade was heavy, at a fall in value of 2d per 81bs. Lambs—the show of which was moderately good, moved off slowly, at Friday's decline of 2d per Blbs.

The Committee on Foreign Relations had re ported back the fishery and reciprocity treaty. It was not known when it would be taken up. The George Law had arrived at New York with 11,523 dols. in specie on freight. Californian advices are to June 16. Among the despatches from Commander Perry was the Japan treaty. New and rich diggings had been disco vered at Kern River. Trade had been moderately active. The Star of the West had arrived with upwards of 1,000,000 dols. of Californian gold. The French and British squadron had been re inforced. The French Admiral Duquesne died on the 3d. SHARE MARKETS. (THIS DAY.) BRITISH RAILWAYS. Trade at New York continued inactive ; the de mand for money was less urgent, and the rates of discount were 7 and 8 per cent. on call, and 12 and 15 per cent. on first-class commercial papers. Stocks had been weak and drooping. Exchange was quoted at 9 to 9 / 1 on London. Cotton was buoyant, and an advance had been realized; in flour and meal there was a fair business doing at depressed rates ; wheat had materially declined ; iron was very quiet ; turpentine firm ; freight also firm, especially to Great Britain.

" When called to a celebrated writer a few years ago, I found he had been labouring many days under inflamma tion of the bowels, and been treated with merely a little rhubarb, and similar things without advantage. His state was highly dangerous, and I gave it as my opinion that he would certainly die if not bled, and might even if he were bled. The practitioner remarked that he had n..t bled a patient for two years, and that the gentleman was very bulky. I replied that I would wait and regulate the quantity and take all the responsibility upon myself. and bled the ractiti patient. most I allow no courteously more yield ld to flow b oo aft er The poner edto ms , wishes 1 the pulse was slightly a ff ec t e d. It proved to be in a 1 highly inflammatory state, as I foretold. The patient wa s at once relieved, and with suitable medicines and di et from that moment advanted to perfect health. I myself had a very violent inflammation in my chest during last 1 November. Nothing controlled it : and I one night I I begged a medical friend to bleed me. About twenty ounces Marchwere red, a a s n ot d 0 f u r d o m s ti t l h i a s t e m v e o r tn e r e n at t t l n o r k e . co v l e re d. t o l n n without relief for some time, and then begged the same friend to bleed me one evening. The loss of, less than s pint was required on this occasion, and the results were all the same as b efore — immediate relief and perfect cure; and I took not a particle of medicine. I had never been so ill in my life as each time before I was bled. On casually mentioning this to a surgeon of St. Bartholomew's Hos pital, he said that he was sure that no other person was bled in London on the day when I was bled. Perhaps he ofna w e a d s right,ndfoirt sisucthheasraenatehwie e t x h tL u en . a g e or s i o . f t s h o e m p e rac yo t als ice ago, patients were bled for almost everything: and people attendinigutboieebe,ibinlegdo. a drop m ore s h ould be taken away ot feared th a t th ey should not continue in health unless they were bl e d t w i ce a year.

Sometimes none of these things occurs and there is no relief : and yet the quantity of blood taken is as great as we think the patient y rras be ted. girs Thecan propri e ty l. fe H w er o e r th m e o fl r o o w , o sh oo o m ul i d ou bla after the arm is bound up, and thus relief is not obtained immediately, but still obtained.

We should always endeavous to accomplish our purpose without the loss of one drop more than is absolutely required : and thus will seldom be under the necessity of bleeding a second time, or at any rate a third. All this I anxiously inculcated when I first even began to lecture in St. Thomas's Hospital, between twenty and thirty years ago, and I protested against the enormous and repeated bleedings practised by some through inattention to these rules. It is shocking to read the deluges of blood that some writers boast of having perpetrated in curing their patients. Many lam sure feel the effects of great loss of blood long and perhaps for life, and not unfrequently have some disease induced which shortens their life considerably. "So with drugs. Not a particle more should be taken than is necessary to relieve or cure the patient. The aim should be to benefit the patient with the smallest number of grains or drops : and it is still better if we attain our object without any drugs at all—by diet and general ma nagement alone. Yet the sound practitioner, who aims at this, will augment his doses steadily, and continuously, till he obtains the good which he desires, or sees that by going on he shall produce a threatening of some effects which he does not desire. In the latter case, he will in stantly reduce the dose or omit the medicine altogether for a time. "If it is wrong to giVe one grain or drop, or half a grain or drop, more than indispensable, it is equally wrong to give up a me di cine till it has been 'taken in such quantities and for such a period as to have proved that the system has felt its power. The sound practitioner will appear to the ignorant sometimes to give doses ridiculously small, and sometimes doses preposterously large. He will not boast of giving large doses or small doses, but aim at giving the proper dose. " Some positively have a fixed dose for each medicine. When iodide of potassium, one of the most useful medicines ever discovered, was first used thirty years ago, Sir --, being unluckily prejudiced against it as he is now against mesmerism, frightened some of my patients and for a time deterred them from its use, though they afterwards saw he was wrong. When its use became established, he and Dr. C--- never gave more than two grains for a dose, and told all patients and p rac titi oners t h at this was the largest dose which was proper. Now there can be no fixed dose of atiy medicine : the effect of every medicine, and not the quan tity, should be considered. Sometimes a quarter of a grain, nay an eighth, of this very medicine, is the utmost quantity borne : and sometimes no result is obtained from less than very many grains. I have explained to patients, and always successfully, this common sense view of the ad ministration of this and other drug s, and they h ave a l ways seen the error o f thi s d ictum o Sir -- -- and Dr. 0--. Indeed it is now happily disregarded. I recollect that one day I snot Dr. C— in consultation upon ono case and the late Dr. H-- upon another—both gentlemen being physicians of St. --' s Hospital and teaching the same pupils. In each case, iodide of potassium was agreed upon as the medicine. Dr. 0-- said he always gave, as did Sir -- --, two grains of it and never more, even if it produced no effect. Dr. H-- said he always began with ten grains. Now to begin with a large dose was as improper as to continue at one fixed small dose. Yet both these gentlemen passed as very sensible men. " While many practitioners give medicines in inefficient doses, others relinquish them before they, on account of the smallness of the dose or the short period of their ad ministration, have done any good : and thus are changing their prescriptions incessantly : and the patient fancies he has tried everything, whereas he has really tried nothing, and has lost all his time. One of the physicians at Uni versity College Hospital, who was not over educated or wise, but violently opposed mesmerism, declaring that he had never seen it and had always turned his eyes away from my patients while they were being mesmerised in the wards, generally made a full sweep at every visit or two of all the drugs he had presceibed at the previous visit. When prescriptions are continually changed, either the practitioner is usually prescribing foolishly, or is baffled at any rate : though of course sometimes changes in the symptoms require such changes of medicines. " The public have no conception of the absurd mode in which medicines are administered by men who have an abundance of practice, or of the oceans of liquid physic and mountains of pills and powders which are swallowed without having, either through b e i ng un fit f or th e case or improper in th doses or 'shortness of the period of admi nistration, the smallest chance of benefiting the patient. Sir Benjamin Brodie twenty years ago in consultation re marked to me how badly medicines aro in general pre scribed, adding that very few prescribed them so properly as I did. Yet lam sure I never prescribe them otherwise e th om an m a o s n t s h e e n v se er a y s houvmerbylepsetrscoomu,moonne would sense s s u u gg ppo es s t o r is s uch en dowed with. as improperly as s " Till very lately, to b l o w e r . t t o he giv cu e s t to h m eni to wh g e iv n e t them too like bleeding, absolutely injurious, or to g ive the violently or often, a pill and black draug ht . being and in chro nic of many practitioners in all ailments cahetyhawrtereic: nature n ic spurring e it, rind a good horse by incessantly whipping or, deprive cases outgoh ought worryto be the lleft t bowels alone: just incessantly a ail some p e rso n s tb l e i l s n o; 7 o h il est a poor dear child by incessantly punishing bowels of every person should act nature of a chance.

There is no necessity for comment upon the fore going quotations. _....-- - The Life and Adventures of a Clever Woman. By Mrs. Trollope. 3 vols. Hurst and Blackett. The numerous readers of Mrs. Trollope's works will, no doubt, be doubly attracted by the title of the present tale, which seems especially charac teristic. But they will be disappointed, for though it would seem to be a congenial subject, affording full scope for all the lively sketches and satirical portraits which are the forte of the clever autho ress, neither plot, style, nor sketches are wo r thy o f the writer o f " The Barnabys."; The life of the Clever Woman, who is the spoiled child of a wealthy father, is passed in attaining a high position in society. This is her great ambition, and she ex pends her time, money, and energies in striving to collect a large circle of fashionable acquaintances, who should all look up to her with admiration and respect. In this laudable pursuit she succeeds, but as she is but a heartless abrupt person after all, and shows no talent save that of manoeuvring and self - aggrandisement, the reader is not much in terested in her successes or her failures. A. very limited circle is introduced to us, considering the opportunities which present themselves for a variety of sketches. We are told that the heroine gave grand entertainments, and that she made many friends, but we see nothing of them. Those which do appear, with few exceptions, rival each other in their repelling qualities. They are not merely worldly people : they seomto have no redeeming attributes. Truly, if they are drawn from real life, the writer's experience of society must be similar to that which produced the two philosophers of old, who laughed and wept at the follies and crimes of humanity. It needs the lan tern of Diogenes to discover an honest man among them. Almost the only one introduced is Mon tague Herbert, who appears at first as a middle aged man, but at the conclusion marries the young protegee of the heroine. Even h e , h owever, i s not a very striking character, for though very poor, with first a young sister and subsequently a wife and family to support, he does not appear to do anything to increase his income, but endeavours to reduce his expenses, lamenting over his poverty. Among minor faults of style which might be easily avoided, we may mention that of extreme inaccu racy with respect to dates and ages. It is true it matters little what is the age of heroes and heroines, but it is perplexing in the extreme to be perpetually told and told differently each time. Mrs. Trollop) has too often proved her ability to Make us con tented with inferior works from her pen, and she has too widely extended a reputation, and too large a circle of readers to make it a ma t ter of indiffer ence what she writes. She owes it to herself and to the public to be more careful of her well-earned popularity. It would be unjust to say that there is no talent or interest in the present work, but there is not so much as one would be led to anti cipate from the title-page. The following extract is from a conversation between the heroine and her father, at the commencement of her endeavours to be the centre of the fashionable circle, and will give a good idea of her opinions and character : "It is very true, papa, I assure you, that I do pass many hours in thinking what sort of person I should like to be, and what sort of a life I should wish to lead, when I grow from a mere girl into a woman. What I should like would be always to have just such a nice house as this, just as nicely furnished, and everything about me just as elegant and as comfortable as you have made it here. But even that would not content me, papa, unless I could contrive to make myself in some degree worthy of such a beautiful home ; and even if I could do that, it would not content me unless I had a good set of elegant and well-educated people as my friends and ac quaintances. My greatest idea of earthly happiness, dear papa, is having to preside in such a house as this with such a circle of friends as I have described." Mr. Morris felt and looked delighted. "My dearest Charlotte," he replied, "I really don't think it possible you could have said any thing more calculated to give pie pleasure. The wishes you express are the exact echo of my own ; and I must say, that, for a young person of your age, I don't think it possi ble they could have been better expressed." " Well, then, dearest papa," she resumed, " being thus happily agreed about the object we have in view, let us hope that we shall be equally so as to the manner of obtaining it. It is impossible not to see that there are some difficulties before us. While I was still a child, and while you were still occupied by my education, in short, before we came to this house, papa, I never saw anybody, you know, in the way of acquaintance, who could be of the very slightest use in obtaining the object we have in view ; but your fortunately making acquain tance with Mr. Knighton has opened a way for us, which, if it be not our own fault, will lead us to all we wish. I think that while you were playing whist there the other night, I saw more than you could do of the style of the company. Small as they called their party, there were several people of decided fashion. Lady Wil cox Smith is a very near relation ; and that elegant Miss Herbert, Louisa Knighton told me, moves in the very highest circles. But in order to profit as much as pos sible by such a lucky chance as that which has brought us acquainted with the Knightons, we surely ought to make ourselves as intimate with them as possible." "And so we will, my dear," replied her father, very cordially. "But how, papa ?" replied Charlotte, mournfully. "Before any real intimacy can be established between people," she added, "there must be a mutual wish for it." " Very true, dear," returned her admiring father, "but I c.tnt see any good reason to doubt that it is so in the present case." "To a certain degree you are right, papa," was her answer, pronounced in a way that very decidedly show ed her to be no vain boaster when she said she thought egood deal ; her eye, her voice, her attitude, all bore evidence of it. " Papa," she continued, "as much per sonal liking as I really feel for the Knightons, I truly believe they feel for me. We all chat away most plea santly together, and when people do this, evidently without an effort, they cannot, you know, feel any great dislike to each other. But that is no proof of the in timacy which I am anxious to establish • nor do I believe th a t suc h an i n ti macy i s ever esta blished, unless each of the parties is useful to the other." Mr. Morris looked at his young daughter both with surprise and admiration. ‘i Charlotte !" he replied, taking her hand in his, and gazing at her earnestly and fondly ; " Charlotte ! you are perfectly right ; and I beg your pardon, my dear, for having treated your observations so lightly. Men may be better fitted to manage the affairs of the nation than women, and I have no wish whatever to see you obtain a seat in Parliament, for instance ; but in the do mestic politics of private life, I sincerely believe that the judgment of one clever woman is of more practical worth than that of a dozen men. You have my full permission on the present occasion, and on all future occasions of the same kind, to any extent that you may think right and judicious ; and, moreover, I shall trust implicitly to your judgment as to the manner of profiting from their wish to be useful to you in return ; and I assure you, dearest Charlotte, that it is a great pleasure, and a great comfort to me, to find that I can so safely trust to your judgment." The Zoist.—The distinguishing peculiarity of The Zoist among our many eminent and diversified monthly and quarterly periodicals is that of its contents containing the largest amount of novel and surprising information. This was inseparable from the very nature of the publicati on . It was inevitable from the singularity of the scheme in which it originated. It was guarant ee d by th e singular ability of the man entrusted with the duties of its editorship. It was plainly enough intimated by that quotation from Gall selected as its motto —" This is Truth, though opposed to the Philoso phy of Ages." It was plainly announced in the very title of The Zoist, as a Journal of Cerebral Physiology and Mesmerism—considered in their applications to human welfare. Systematically and energetically carrying out the views, of which it is now universally regarded as the most remarkable organ, The Zoist has successfully entered its twelfth volume, the present number being the forty-sixth of its publication. In testimony that its ability has in no way fallen off, but rather ad vanced and ripened during the process of its de velopment, we need no more here than quote from the number just issued the subjoined interest ing and noteworthy paragraphs. They are in th e form of a " Note" by Dr. Elliotson, on two case* described by Mr. Rawe, of Hampstead—_ 22:08124v9 l' A. NEW PLANET.—At 11.45 mean time last night Mr- JJ. R.

At th Reed, Newtown, Hami - Charles Edward S • till e same meeting of the court, Mr. Ilea Alailitallt e man passed his examination for DRURY-LANE:ROYAL OPERA. On Saturday evening Mozart's II Seraglio was per formed at the above theatre for the last time this season. The production of this great work, which, until the last few weeks, was almost unknown to the London public, reflects much credit upon the present management of Drury-lane Theatre ; fdr not only is the music of Il Se raglio eminently calculated to raise and purify the public taste, but its execution by Mr. Jarrett's German com pany has been most satisfactory. Nobody since Stan digl in his best days has personated the old Turk, Osmin, so admirably as Formes ; and more efficient representa tives of Constanze and Blonden than Madame Ruders• dorff and Madlle. Agnes Bury could scarcely be found. Of the respective merits of these performers, as exem plified in the above-named opera, we have already spoken in detail ; but the cast of Saturday evening included a novelty which it were unjust not to notice. This was the delineation of Belmont° .for the first time by Herr Reichardt in place of Herr Pecz, who, we believe, has quitted th e th eatre. Studiously avoiding " odious corn , parisons," we shall simply state that Herr Reichardt, who sang most of the music set down for him delight fully, and acted throughout with great spirit and judg ment, made on this occasion another highly valuable addition to his already long Ilst of successes with the London public. The opera was enthusiastically ap plauded from first to last, the principal artistea being called for at the conclusion of the second and third acts. COURT CIRCULAR. OSBORNE, JULY 22.

FIRE AT KEYHAM.—A fire broke out in the carpen ter's shop at the works in this steam-yard, last evening, about five o'clock. The engine kept on the works, in company with the dockyard and gun-wharf engines, were soon on the spot, and every assistance was ren dered by the workmen who were fortunately on the works. There was a scarcity of water at first, but it was at last obtained from the Keyham Lake, and the fire was extinguished about half-past six o'clock. The whole of the workmen's tools in the shop were burnt, and the value of the property destroyed is estimated to be altogether about 3001. The origin of the fire is un known ; but it appears there was a quantity of shavings underneath a pile of deal timber, which by some means became ignited and burnt rapidly, but on efficient assis tance being rendered the fire was noon overcome,— PIMA MORI Paid.' 11.1rr.wAys. 100 Aberdeen.. 83 Ambg.

The family or habitual medical adviser has such a patient under his care often and long, and is wearied with the everlasting complainings : and others are continually consulted or tri e d f or longer or shorter periods. The amount of drugs taken in these cases is prodigious : and trading writers of books on indigestion and nervous com plaints, like those who write on gout and rheumatism, and those who write on urinary affections and cutaneous dis eases and affections of the chest, reap a plentiful harvest by advertising their books with their names incessantly, and thus catching the eye of unfortunate valetudinarians, as the advertising tailors and other tradesmen so well know how to catch customers. The advertisement of medical books on common disorders is a genteel and cun ning way of imitating Messieurs Moses, Solomon, Mechi, Hyam, Savory, and others, who legitimately advertise as tradesmen, and in a direct and open manner for customers, who are their patients. Some of these medical authors succeed in getting passages from their books that are most likely to excite the attention of unfortunate persons with dyspeptic, nervous, gouty, rheumatic, urinary, cutaneous. and chest affections, inserted from time to time into both the London and provincial newspapers. Writers on indi vidual diseases are thought to know the most about them: but generally know no thi ng more o f th em t h an the rest of the profession, an d are o ft en moreover l ess acquainted with general practical medical science an d th e powers o rs an general proper administr a tion of r eme di es — a e wledge of all which is indi s p ensa bl e to the t rea t men t o f indi v idual diseases.
