Yee,..nill be found that the deaths in the metropolis for the two Year hill 1842 wer, from all causes, 30,518 ; and . from ne s t al Plien alone, 10,688 ; showing that more than one-third of lee t la l deaths in that period of life takes place from tl . :e kneels -oith-:If, a single disease ; and if the same inquiry were d i . nst e it e u e t e ed f th h ' es Pect to other diseasee, such as asthma, dropsy, diseases a r e th a ead ! h eart, &c., it would be found that more than one-half ed ad Wnole Population would, on medical examination, be refused the into an assurance office. If the inquiry be carried to tsaine`;nriPal towns in England, like facts are elicited—in Bir- Per a'n-arni Liverpool and Manchester, the deaths from all causes, Ishi n utn, are about 5,023, while those from consumption are 4 tri" t a s f°rM ing considerably more than one-third of the whole..

The house is a superior and very gen tlemanly residence; and nothing can be in better keeping than the arrangement throughout. THE TASTE OF A MAN OF FASHION is conspicuous in every department. It is placed on an agreeable eminence, commanding very picturesque views of the rich sur rounding country; approached by a carriage-drive through the park-like grounds; adorned by young and thriving plantations. The pleasure.grounds are extensive, planted with the choicest shrubs and ornamented by a fountain. The residence has only been erected a few years, presenting a very imposing and " ELEGANT ELEVATION," and possessing every accommodation for a family of distinction, without being inconveniently large. Its internal decorations dis play great tact, and it is in a perfect state for immediate occupation. There are five capital bed-chambers, independent of sleeping-rooms for servants ; an elegant drawing-room and library; a spacious dining-room, finished IN OAK IN THE ELIZABETHAN STYLE. The domestic offices are admirably arranged and well secluded. A very elegant conservatory and colonade adorn the two principal fronts.

GEORGE ROBINS is instructed, by the - Executors of the last survivor of the elder branch of the Heathcote family (the Rev. Cornelius Heathcote Reaston Rodes), to OFFER to PUBLIC COMPETITION, at the Angel Hotel, Chesterfield, on SATURDAY, the 20th July, at Twelve for One punctually, in One Lot, A VERY DESIRABLE FREEHOLD ESTATE, offering a -capital exchange for Three per Cents. at par, to a very secure investment in a more safe and solid tenure. It will easily occur that " terra firma" is the substitute. Next to this, it is important to a purchaser to select a favourable county, superior land, respectable tenants, and (though last, not least) low tithe and poor-rates. These are a combination difficult to find merged in one property, but _ _ THE CUTTHORPE ESTATE puts in AN UNDISPUTED TITLE TO I'HE WHOLE. The Mansion is somewhat old-fashioned. Its antiquity will ac. count for this ; but, in the olden times comfort was more in re quest than architects award to modern buildings. It is within two.and.a.hnlf short miles of the RESPECTABLE TOWN OF CHESTERFIELD. There are gardens and pleasure-grounds quite ample. There is a pretty terrace-walk, and a fish.pond abundantly stocked. In days of yore it was the residence of THE HEATHCOTE FAMILY, a name honoured for its great respectability, and one that does not yield in a single attribute that can adorn high character to any other throughout the kingdom. The abode possesses every ac commodation a gentleman retiring from the busy scenes of mercan tile pursuits, or a yeoman of high standing can desire, with offices of every description. There are TWO CHIEF FARMS, 1935. OR. 21 P., WITII A ROADSIDE PUBLIC-HOUSE. The Rents, which are most punctually paid, amount to 2861. a year. The tenants are unexceptionable, the land lies exceedingly eom pact, and A ST REAMLET PASSES THROUGH IT, refreshing the meadows when it is needful. The town of Ches_ terfie!d is a CHIEF STATION ON THE NORTH MIDLAND RAILWAY. It Is the best market for corn throughout the district, and all the principal fairs for cattle are held there. The turnpike.road to it and to Bakewell passes through the property. The Coal and Iron-stone under the Estate is considerable. Game may be preserved to some extent, as it joins THE DUKE OF DEVONSHIRE'S PRESERVES, and is not far from the Moors, where good shooting can be ob tained. The contiguous waters afford excellent trout-fishing. The country around is exceedingly picturesque, and extends to all the interesting objects of a neighbourhood distinguished by its su perior occupants, with famed Chatsworth within a short drive, and Sheffield only twelve miles off. particulars to be had at the Hotel, Chesterfield ; Tontine, Sheffield; the Waterloo, Liverpool; the Albion, Manchester; the Grand Hotel, at the Station, Derby ; John Charge, Esq., solicitor, Chesterfield ; Messrs.

ALL who prize a delicious Cup of really fine COFFEE are invited to purchase from the Establishment of SIDNEY and HALL, No. 8, Ludgate-hill.

Black Tea of splendid quality at Three Shillings and Tenpence per pound. _ _ The Tea Market, No. 8, Ludgate-hill. SIDNEY AND HALL. THE ESTABLISHED TEA MARKET, upon Ludgate-hill, No. 8 ; SIDNEY and HALL Proprietors.—A further FALL of TWOPENCE to FOURPENCE per Pound upon TEAS and COFFE . S. _ _ We have this day lowered Coffees 2d. to 4d. per lb., in consequence of the reduced duties upon Foreign Coffees coining into operation. In the sale of the finest qualities of Coffees, we have long stood pre-emi nent as the largest purchasers in the port of London. We are now enabled to quote the very choicest quality at a price attainable by all classes of society. The nobility, families, and large consumers of Teas•and Coffees, are invited to compare the quality and prices of all goods sold at this Establishment with those of any other house in the metropolis. Tho best selected qualities have invariably distinguished Sidney and Hall, and their present ez .ensive sale enables them to sell at prices which can only be equalled by the largest wholesale houses. As merchants and importers of Teas direct from China, and the proprietors of several extensive businesses in London and the largest provincial towns, Sidney and Hall flatter themselves that they pos sess facilities for really cheap Felling, which few can lay claim to, and enable them to state most confidently that their establishment shall maintain its character, as being one of the first and cheapest in London. The importation of Tea is, this season, of unusually good quality; the quantity is also considerably larger than for many previous years, and the anticipation of still larger shipments has had the effect of lowering prices almost to a level with the lowest period in the history of the tea market. Sidney and Hall have therefore much satisfaction in announcing a revised scale of prices, and, confident of superior value, they invite comparison, as tke most ;convincing proof of cheapness and confidence. COFFEES. The Public will please to Ol;;Cr;eitiat, owing to the duty upon Foreign Coffees being now only Gd per lb., whereas two years ago it was Is. 3d., we are enabled to introduce an entirely new class of Coffees to their not c'e,and we feel assured that a trial is all that is requisite to ensure approbation. s. d.

Dr. Robert Balmer, one of the professors of theology in the United Se cession Church, died at his residence at Berwick on Monday last. PENSIONS TO POLICE CONSTABLES.- On Thursday, orders were read to the constables at the various police-sta tions, in which the Commissioners had granted a pension of 351. a year for life to Henry Leutchford, 87 L, for injuries re ceived in apprehending three desperate burglars. Our readers may recollect the circumstances, that about a year ago three desperate housebreakers entered the Old Red Lion, at the foot of the Surrey side of Westminster-bridge. Leutchford was stationed at the rear of the house, when he detained two of the burglars, who were making their escape. One of them knocked him down, when the other took a knife from his pocket, and forced the point under his right eye, and drew it across his nose, nearly severing it from his head. Other constables coming up at the time saved his life. He lay in a dangerous state for some months ; when he recovered, he went to Wales at the time of the disturbances, and the injuries he had received, the Commissioners have considered, render him entitled to the above pension. Annetts, 106 L, also had a pension of 20/. a year, for injuries received in the force. Both men have been about nine years in the force. PLEASING RESULTS.-With the gaiety assumed by nature in the brightness of the summer season there are few disinclined to participate; and in pursuit of those rational enjoyments personal agremens, in all their variety, are necessarily objects of desire—those, of which the perfection and durability are at once obvious and important, meet their most available preservative in Gowland's Lotion ; first, as a decided remedy for all cutaneous impurities • and, secondly, as an elegant, mild, and effective appendage to the toilet, removing every species of local discolouration, defending the skin from all the well-known effects of heat upon its surface, and as contributing largely to continued delicacy and fresh ness of the complexion. _ _ _ Ladies travelling, or temporarily subjected to any deviation of equable temperature, will find in Rowland's Kalydor a renovating and refreshing auxiliary, dispel ling the cloud of langour from the complexion, and immediately affording the pleasing sensation attending restored elasticity of the skin. The distressing and unsightly varieties of cutaneous eruptions are also promptly eradicated by the Kalydor. Spots, pimples, freckles, discolourations, and sallowness, yield to its specific qualities, and are succeeded by a smoothness and transparency of the skin, giving rise to sensations of the utmost pleasure and surprise. Being universally preferred, its consequent great demand excites the cupidity of unprincipled shopkeepers, who give the title of " Genuine" Kalydor to some compounds of their own manufacture, of the most deleterious character, con taining mineral astringents utterly ruinous to the complexion, and by their repellant action endangering health. It is, therefore, imperative on purchasers to see that the words " Rowland's Kalydor" are on the wrapper. All others are fraudulent counterfeits !! !

Several pieces of bone came away, be sides the formation of three abscesses on the back of the hand. 'The wrist was perfectly useless, as likewise the elbow joint, which had become quite contracted. In this deplorable state he commenced the use of' these ex traordinary medicines, which effected a perfect cure in about nine weeks. Sold at Professor Holloway's Esta blishment, 244, Strand (where advice may be bad gratis), and by almost all vendors of medicine through out the civilised world. To this observation I find Sir R. Peel makes the following remark :—" I do hope, therefore, that Hon. Gentlemen will, in future, refer to my statement, and not to that authority, high though it be, whose lucubrations they may have time to peruse.—l mean Mr. George Robins, the auc tioneer." This may put on at least an equivocal charac ttrr and, therefore, I ask you to let me .quote the remarks I have made in my advertisements, from the speech of the Right Hon. Sir Robert Peel, on the first night (I believe) of the present session of Parlia ment, and then let the public judge between us. I copied into my announcements, and verbatim, the cheer ing remark that follows, and this "is the. head and front of my offending":—" ALTHOUGH I CONSIDER IT INCONSISTENT WITH MY DUTY TO MAKE EN GAGE3IENTS FOR ADHERING TO EXISTING LAWS, UNDER ALL CIRCUMSTANCES, IN ORDER TO CON CILIATE SUPPORT, I CAN SAY THAT THE GOVERNMENT HAVE NEVER CONTEM PLATED, AND DO NOT CONTEMPLATE, ANY ALTERATION IN THE EXISTING LAW." I have now only to ask in the intelligible language of Shakespeare, " SPEAK OF ME AS I AM ; NOTHING EXTENUATE, NOR SET DOWN AUGHT IN MA LICE." Perhaps I may be allowed to state that my anxiety to give publicity to his speech (a per fect God send to the agricultural interest), was mainly because, a large portion of capitalists had doubted his sincerity, and this could no longer exist after such an unqualified assertion. The use and great utility of this straightforward observation, has enabled me TO SELL LAND THIS SEASON WITHOUT DIFFI CULTY, although not at a price which it is fairly en titled to, with reference to the high price of the funds. But last season, while so much of doubt and uncer tainty clouded the agricultural horizon, it was all but impossible to sell it at any price. In my practice, I can aver that, during four months in last year, I had estates exceeding in value ONE MILLION POUNDS STERLING TO SELL, WITHOUT A BIDDER FOR ONE OF THEM. I apprehend this is tolerably good authority for asking Sir Robert Peel, as I certainly did, to speak out. The great benefit that the landed interest have achieved by this unequivocal and good policy, will be strengthened by a single commentary. It was only during the last week, at Llanrwst, in North Wales, I sold estates and houses, in and around the town, and extending three or four miles from it, at an average of forty years' pur chase, on a fair annual value, and this to the extent of seventy thousand guineas. I would suggest, also, that the fate of Mr. Villiers's motion to alter the corn-laws, has triumphantly put his false theory into the tomb of all the Capulets, there to rest .sine die. It is to the memor able declaration above quoted this ♦ictory may be traced. I crave your indulgence for this lengthened explanation, and to add that I trust the consequence will be, that the UNSOLD MILLION I have alluded to in last season will now find plenty of competitors at thirty years' purchase. - I am, Sir, your very obedient servant, July 5. 1844.

PRACTICAL WORKING OF THE LIBEL LAW. (From the Cheltenham Examiner.) As an illustration of the practical working of the Law of Libel, and the immense expense it entails on those who unhappily fall under its operations, the following particulars of the recent actions against the proprietors of this paper may not be uninteresting to the public. At the close of the year 1842, and early in 1843, certain proceedings took place at the Cheltenham Police-office, which created a great degree of excitement in the public mind. A series of articles commenting on these pro ceedings appeared in the Cheltenham Examiner and in the month of January, 1843, Messrs. Rowe and Norman, the proprietors, were served with a copy of a writ, in an action complaining of four articles which had appeared respectively on the 7th, 14th, and 28th of December, 1842 and the 25th January, 1843. This writ was served at the suit of Mr. Augustus Neviton, and shortly after another action was commenced in the names of Mr. and Mrs. Newton conjointly, eamplaining of one only of the same four articles. This action, after having has the venue changed from Herefordshire, was brought to trial at the Gloucester spring assizes, April, 1843, before Mr. Justice Erskine and a special jury, and resulted in a verdict on the general issue of not guilty for defendants. The expenses of this action to the day of trial, and in answering subsequent unsuccessful applications by the plaintiffs for a new trial, were to the defendants about 2401. ;of this sum they never received one farthing, the • male plaintiff discharging his personal liability by means of the Insolvent Court. In the month of January, 1844, defendants were served with a copy of declaration, in the first action by Mr. Newton alone, and embracing, be it remembered, the very article, on which in the former - action, the defendants had been declared not guilty, and the action, after repeated delays, came on in the Court of Common Pleas, at Westminster, before Chief Justice Tindal, on the 15th of June, just passed. The defendants pleaded a justification to the whole, and after a hearing of three days, and the examination of numerous wit nesses for the defence, the jury returned a verdict, that the justification was established on two material counts in the declaration, and a verdict on the two other counts . for the plaintiff, with one farthing damages on each. The expense of this second action to the defendants, including counsels' fees, travelling expenses, maintenance and pay- ' ment of witnesses, and other unavoidable charges, • amounted in the whole to upwards of 600/. Thus the two actions, grounded on nearly the same articles, and arising out of the same transactions, and tin both of which the jury have returned virtual verdicts of notguilty, Messrs. Rowe and Norman have been put to the enor mous expense of nearly 900/.; and that of course reckon- . 1 ing nothing for anxiety of mind, interference with busi ness, and their own personal expenses. The expense of these actions is a standing witness against the present Libel Law, and is enough to deter the journalist from doing his duty to the public, by com- . menting freely on matters of public import. There ex penses, be it remembered, are incurred by parties pro- • flounced not guilty; had the results been otherwise, and by a failure of the justification, a verdict of 40s. damages - been given against them, the defendants, in addition to, this 9001., would have had to pay the plaintiff's costs amounting to several hundrqs more. •
