The advantages possessed by Captain Pidding— among others, the having secured for himself the exclusive importa tion these Teas—are the result of eight voyages made to China, and five years spent in that country. Captain Pidding has only two agents in London—Verrey, 229, Re gent-street, corner of Hanover-street ; also 3, Pall-malt, next the Haymarket ; and T. Littlejohn and Son, 77, King William-street, City.

By the Rev. H. ELSLEY, M.A. A New Edition, revised and corrected by R. WALKER, M.A., Lincoln College, Oxford. The following are the advantages which this improved edition pos. senses over its predecessors. While the Editor has given all the necessary references to those Commentators whose opinions are cited in the work, lie has carefully avoiued the repetition of names which are needle sly produced often in two or three parts of the same quo tation—a tautology which has been felt as a source of annoyance and confusion, rather than of assistance, to the inquiring student. Neither has lie perpetuated the accumulating errata of a series of former edi tions, each of which, in passing through the press without any parti cular critical revision, has generally added its own quota to the falty mass ; but he has bestowed the utmost pains to impart a character of correctness to all the scriptural references, as well as to the Hebrew and Greek quotations. The vowel points have in every instance been added to the biblical Hebrew, a practice not required in passages from the Rabbinical writers. Thus, "while a consider able advantage has been gained in point of compression, it is hoped nothing has been lost in general utility." Oxford: printed by J.

DEATH Or SIR ISAAC WILSON, KNIGHT, F.R.S. —We have to announce the death of Sir Isaac Wilson, who died at Bognor, Sussex, on Monday last, at the ad vanced age of eighty-seven years. The deceased was the senior physician on the medical list of the Royal Navy, having been senior by one year to the late Sir William Beaty. He had for some years retired from the active duties of his profession. Sir Isaac had for a lengthened period been physician at the Royal Naval Hospitals at Plymouth and Hasler, and had the honour to be one of the domestic medical attendants of the late Duke of Kent and her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent. He was elected a fellow of the Royal Society in February, 1531. Usher (calls)—" What's .his-name."—(A general laugh, in which the bench, bar, and jury join.) Judge—l must commit if this sort of conduct is repeated. Prisoner at the bar, what have you to say to the charge ? Ist Counsel—My friend has not made out any case ; I submit there is nothing to go to the jury. Judge—Gentlemen of the jury, you have heard such of the facts of this distressing case as are capable of being conveyed to your knowledge. Gentlemen, the criminal law of this country draws a happy dis tinction between- assumed guilt, and guilt actually proved. In Ilawkins's " Pleas of the Crown," you will find all this laid down much better than I can explain it to you. Gentlemen, I shall not detain you with any further observations, but I leave the case in your hands, with this simple observation, that if you have any doubt you must give the benefit of that doubt to the prisoner. The jury (laughing among themselves)—Of course we must let him off. We've heard nothing against him. Foreman of the jury—We flnd:the prisoner not guilty. Clerk of the Court—Both of them p Ist Counsel—Both of them ! There is but one. Really, Mr. Associate, this is very annoying. Judge—Prisoner at the bar, you have had a very narrow escape.

I've got a cab waiting. Jury (going)—Well, that's the way to get through the calendar, anyhow. Usher (putting out the candles)—l believe you. MILITARY RULES FOR PROVOST PRISONERS. A new code of regulations has been prepared by corn mand of Field-Marshal the Duke of Wellington, of which the following is a summary. By it we find that it is intended that a strictly regimental system of. ieepric.n m ant is to be estsshiisheA, Lv A., 0r naee..4;,.,, cells in every geirrisou or barrack in the kingdom. The rules consist of 31 sections. By the first, every garrison or barrack cell is to be applicable for confinement of sol diers, for periods within the limits of present regula tions, and for carrying into effect the sentence of imprisonment by courts-martial, for periods not ex ceeding 28 days. Imprisonment in cells to be either solitary or mixed ; in the former case prisoner not to leave the cell except for air and exercise ; in the latter case, when imprisonment and hard labour are awarded, drill in marching order to be the means of punishment. For irregularities, or minor breaches of discipline, while under confine ment, commanding officers of garrison or commanding officers of corps may order the diet of prisoner to be reduced, or placed on bread and water, period not ex ceeding seventy-two hours, and to be deprived of bed ding. Offences and punishment to be recorded and furnished to prisoner's commanding officer. Cells to be inspected and prisoners visited by orderly officer of gar el. When necessary to imprison soldiers of corps sta ioned at a distance in barracks occupied by any parti cular regiment, such prisoners to be attached to and subsisted by such regiment, while under confinement, and until opportunity offers of forwarding them to their own corps. In garrison or barracks a sergeant to be appointed to cells, to perform duties of provost sergeant ; to perform no other duty whilst hold ing that office, and to be allowed such assistants as may be deemed necessary. Provost-serjeants will be especially employed in taking charge of cells, and responsible for safe custody of prisoners, and for carrying into effect sentences, and . bound to receive, and release prisoners, on requisition signed by com manding officer, without reference to any other authority. Commanding officer to send for pri soners expiration of imprisonment; failing to do so, at provost-sergeant to send them to their. regiment or corps, so that no man be detained in confinement beyond preScribed period. To take care prisoners are sup plied with regular meals ; not to hold or permit un necessary communication with them. No one to visit prisoners, except chaplain and officers of their regiment. Health of prisoners to be attended to. Not to hold conversation with each other, or anyone, during exercise, under pain of further punishment. Prisoner, when in cell, to have means of communicating with provost-sergeant. Regulations as to cleanliness, ven tilating, and warming cells, &c. Tobacco and liquors of all descriptions prohibited. No books allowed in cells, except such as approved by garrison or army chaplain. Provost-sergeant to make daily report to offi cer of the day. To treat prisoners kindly. In case of urgent necessity, any prisoner to be placed in hand cuffs. Prisoners to attend Divine service on Sundays I with rest of troops. Diet of prisoners in cells—Bread and potatoes, or oatmeal and potatoes only, with milk, if recommended in special cases by medical officer. Provost-sergeant to perform police duties of barrack or garrison near which cells are situated. To visit can teens in neighbourhood and prevent drunkenness or riot, to repress irregularity, &c., in barracks. Provost sergeant to keep journal and record occurrences re lating to health and discipline of prisoners, &c., for in formation of commanding officer; also a book in which shall be entered offences against prison rules, and pu nishments awarded. The three last sections relate to fitness of cells for use, occupation, tee. MEETING AT CROMER.-9n Monday, pursuant to public advertisement, a meeting of the tenant-farmers resident in the hundred of North Erpingham, and others interested in the welfare and prosperity of agriculture, was held at the Board-room, Cromer, to consider the propriety of petitioning Parliament for a repeal of the malt-tax. Among the gentlemen present we remarked Mr. R . Rising, of Gimingham; Mr. Woods, of Thurgar ton ; Mr. London, of Sherringham; Mr. W. Woods, of Suffield; Mr. James Carter, of Southrepps; Mr. J. Bar cham, of Antingham; Mr. John Clarke, Felbrigg ; Mr. ; Mr. Weeds, South - s arket; Mr. Symonds, of E r e d p w p s a r ; d m P r . 1 ayford, Clarke, Nort h Thorpere pmp Aylmerton; Yr. Spurrell, Thurgarton; Mr. J. W. Rust, Cromer; Mr. Pilgrim, Mr. Barthrani, Metton, &c. Mr. Rising, of Gimingham, in the chair. A petition to the House of Commons, praying to be relieved from the en tire of this impost, or, should the remission of so large a sum not be practicable, then of such portion as may be expedient, was adopted.—Normich Mercury. ADMIRALTY STORES: — Messrs. Rock, Son, and Fenwick, have again received the Admiralty contract for the supply of 100,000 gallons of rum for the use of the Royal Navy, the whole of which is, by order of the Lords Commissioners of the Treasury, in pursuance of the terms of the contract, to be delivered from the bonded warehouses of the London, St. Katharine, and West India Docks, into her Majesty's victualling stores at Deptford, duty free. The inhabitants of Preston-street _ were startled on Tuesday evening by a flock of stormy petrels alighting on the:roofs of their houses, where they con ti nue d d ur i ng the night to utter their shrill and doleful cry, as though in apprehension of some great calamity. The fisher men look upon this unusual circumstance, which hal not occurred in Brighton for many years, as a sign o f a imam wiuter.--Brighton Herald. _ here to-day, the present race of farmers will be ruined, and one-half the land in England will in ten years change hands, unless Sir Robert Peel is driven from office, and that protection to agriculture is re stored which it has ever received since England be came a mighty nation.—(Hear, and cheers.) I am glad to find that Sir Robert Peel has a slight particle of conscience left. During the last autumn he attended the Tamworth agricultural dinner, of which society he is the president ; he certainly hung his ears and looked foolish. He could not tell what to say, under the peculiar circumstances and difficulties in which he was placed, but having mumbled out a ' higgling and haggling' speech of ten minutes, he gave the farmers a consolation, and showed his desire to support agri culture by promising to keep for them a bull.— (Laughter.) This year Sir Robert Peel did not dare to meet the Tamworth Society, and the consequence has been that there has been no dinner, and there will be no dinner. What is the excuse ? ' The hall at Tamworth is out of repair'—and so is the agricultural interest.—(Laughter.) But let me call your atten tion to a speech made by Lord Stanley, who, the other day, was made Baron Stanley, and is now no longer dependent on the votes of the farmers of North Lancashire for the post of the representative of that county. How did he treat and allude to his former friends ? He told them they must put their shoul ders to the wheel ; that it was not the old farmers, but the young ones, who were now most concerned, and that they must study chemistry, commence draining, and learn to grow wheat instead of weeds. This is the language of the man to those who placed him in power. It is a gross injustice. But, gentlemen, what is the intention of Government towards yourselves in the ensuing session of Parlia ment ? Sir J. Graham has determined on depriving you of the Gilbert Unions. He is going to pass a Bill to break up all the Gilbert Unions in the country. His slaves, the majority of the House of Commons, will follow his beck and nod, and you are to be handed over to the tender mercies of the Poor-law Commis sioners. —(A Voice, ' He's a bad 'un.') Ah ! would but you knew the cruelties inflicted on the poor in the south of England, where the population are scattered far and wide, you would then indeed tremble for that which is awaiting you. And I would appeal to the wealthy, to those who hold high stations in this neighbourhood, to consider well what will be the result of the handing over the poor of this neighbourhood to the commissioners. I have no hesitation in asserting that the Poor-law Commis sioners of Somerset-house have dared to carry out the principle in England that killing the poor is no murder.—(Hear.) This is proved in the reports of the coroners' inquests which appear daily in the newspapers, which show that the poor are starved to death by the officers of the unions acting under the orders of the Poor-law Commissioners. In vain are these revolting accounts published ; the Commis sioners, with hearts as hard as steel, enforce their tyrannical and blood-stained law, by still daring to trample under foot the sacred principle of our Bible and the laws of God in a Christian country. It is my duty now, as one of your representatives—as the representative of the Protestants of Knaresborough —to tell you that it is my firm conviction that as Sir Robert Peel betrayed the Protestant Church in 1829, so he is going to betry the Protestant Church of Ireland in 1845. He keeps secret his in tentions; but I say unto you, watch, for I can have no confidence in a man who obtained office by fraud, and who dares to trample under foot the best interests of his country.—(Hear, hear.) He who hss willingly sacrificed the rights, the liberties, and the lives of the poor, by sanctioning the new poor-law, will not hesitate, if you keep him in office, to sacri fice the religion which he professes. And I know 1 full well that there is not a Protestant in England but believes he is stealthily but furtively aiming a deadly blow at the Protestant religion of Ireland. But it rests with the Protestants of England whether they will forsake their Irish brethren in the hour of need. I have now, gentlemen, touched upon all the topics which, as your representative, I have consi dered it my duty to do. I have extenuated nothing and set down naught in malice, but honestly believing very word to be true which I have uttered, I have I done so to the best of my ability."—(Rear.) The following is an extract from Mr. Ferrand's speech, made a few days since to his constit uen t s a t Knaresborough. No ✓ Whig was ever so violent against a Tory, as the Tory Ferrand is against Peel and Graham. Our readers, however, will see that Mr. Ferrand occasionally draws a long bow : "It is now my duty to give you a slight sketch of the proceedings of the present Government dur ing the three years in which they have held olEce. They commenced by passing an income tax fin time of peace, which tax was to last for three years. 1, for one, at that time, and under the pledge from Sir Robert Peel that it should only last for three years—under the peculiar circumstances and the dangerous state of the financial affairs of the country, gave his proposition my hearty support. After they had obtained sufficient ballast to right the vessel of state by the aid of this tax, Sir R. Peel proceeded to bring forward his great measures which were to restore the nation once more to prosperity. lie first of all brought forward his new corn-law, and in so doing he made speeches by the hour, in which he quoted figures and made calculations to convince the 'agricultural interest in the Commons that his new sliding-scale would give a protection to agriculture to the ex tent of keeping wheat at the average price of 58s. per quarter. When I appeared before you at the last general election, I told you that I would not pledge my support to the then existing corn-law, but that if any measure were brought forward by Sir R. Peel which would give more satisfaction to the country, and at the same time secure that protection to the agricultural interest which they had a right to de mand, I would give that measure my support. Sir R. Peel, having declared in the most solemn manner that his corn-law would give that protection, I con sidered he had a right to require my support, and I therefore voted for it.—(Hear.) But he had scarcely got rid of his corn-law, when he introduced into the House what he called his tariff—a measure, in my opinion, which could only have been brought forward by either a lunatic or a traitor.—(Laughter.) What was the next mad step of which they have been guilty ? They have legalised the exportation of machinery. England, which possessed the Isest and the most perfect machinery in the world, has in this, the hour of peril, given it to foreigners for the purpose of destroying us.—(Loud cheers.) Their next step was to enforce the new poor-law with greater tyranny, oppression, and cold-blooded cruelty than ever the Whigs were guilty of. In their reign of office, the daily papers were never filled with such details of cruelty and oppression of the poor as is daily the case now. No ; although they carried the measure, and attempted to enforce it, they did it with justice tempered with mercy in comparison with the rule of the present Government.—(Cheers.) I have told you, gentlemen, how the Government robbed the factory-workers of the Ten Hours' Bill, after a majority of the House of Commons had voted for it. Sir R. Peel is the most unconstitutional Minister that ever held the reins of Government in England.—(Cheers.) Twice in one year has: he made the House of Commons eat its own solemnly recorded opinions ; twice in one session, at his bidding, have the representatives of the people forsaken their duty to their constituents and the country. It rests with the constituencies of Eng land to drag these men to the bar of public opinion, to make them appear before them—to drag them into their presence, and make them prove the rectitude of their conduct; or, if they prove the de linquency, to compel them to resign their seats. — (Loud applause.) Had I been guilty of such con duct I never would have shown my face here again ; had I been the base tool of a degraded Minister, who held the reins of Government, I should not have been before you this day. But, gentlemen, believe me when I tell you that I would sooner have forfeited my head than have thus sold the rights of my country men.—(Groat cheering.) From the hour that the House of Commons thus degraded itself, it lost its hold of public opinion—it lost its dignity amongst the nations of the earth.—(Hear, hear, and cheers.) Gentlemen, Sir R. Peel, when out of office, promised to the colonies to continue that protection which they h:d in iustiee nat has oeen his conduct wive regard to the West India colonies ? He has withdrawn the protection of Government from them, and by doing so has encouraged the production of slave-grown sugar. England paid 20,000,000/. for the emancipation of the slaves ; Sir R. Peel has now, by carrying out his free trade measures, once more given encouragement to the slaveowners of sugar-producing countries. (Hear, hear.) But what has been his conduct to the agricultural inte rest ? When he brought forward his Corn-law Bill he gave the House of Commons to understand that it was to be a final measure; not one word was then whispered of the Canada Corn Bill, although the Government had at that moment determined, after having clinched the agricultural interest under the Corn-law Bill, to cram the second measure down their throats. Lord Stanley brought forward th measure, and his speech contained such a tissue of misstatements as were scarcely ever made by a Mi nister of the Crown in one speech. I need not give the statistical accounts of the results of his Canada Corn Bill ; suffice it, that these two measures have chiefly aided in producing the following results : Yesterday, in Knaresborough market wheat sold at 40s. per quarter, the weight being 36 stone 41b., or 18 stone 21b. to the sack. That is the result of Sir Ro bert Peel's protection to agriculture I say, gentle men, they have sacrificed the British farmer for one year of reckless competition in trade ; for what do we find in Bradford ? Why, that there are no fewer than 10,000 power-looms standing idle, which a month ago were in full work ; many mills have commenced run ning four days a-week, and others are not fully em ployed ; hundreds of combers are either out of employment altogether, or have only half work, the unmarried men being sent without work, whilst those who are married have work given them according to the extent of their family ; and these poor men can earn no more than ss. or 6s. a-week. This is the melancholy pro spect which is staring them in the face for the ensu ing winter, and this is the certain result which will continue to follow Sir Robert Peel's mad career of legislation. But more fatal still will be its conse quences, and as sure as I have the honour of address ing you to-day we may look forward with dismay as to the future events which will happen to our country. —(Hear, hear.) But, gentlemen, reverting to Ire land, what has been Sir Robert Peel's policy ? He has allowed Mr. O'Connell to gather vast assemblages in public meetings; he allowed him to parade the is land from one end to another like a triumphant con queror, setting the laws of the land and the Govern ment! of the country at defiance.—(Cries of No,' from the Roman Catholic priest.) He did this ; and O'Connell was allowed to go on until he was on the point of attending the last public meeting which he had convened, when the Government, at the eleventh hour, interfered; the prosecution of O'Connell followed; he was convicted of conspiring against the Govern ment; and what was the treatment which he did re ceive compared with what he ought to have received ? The laws of our country know no distinction between the peasant and the peer in cases of violation of those laws. But how was O'Connell treated ? He was sent to what is called a prison, where he lived at his ease in the style of a country gentleman, holding daily levees, his whole time being spent in feasting instead of fast ing.—(Laughter and cheers.) Instead of having prison fare dealt out to him, as he ought to have had, he was treated in such a manner as convicted conspirator never was before. He happens to be the head of a strong party, and has numerous friends in the House of Commons, and the Conservative Govern ment quailed before him and them, and failed to do their duty. But how was Mr. O'Conner treated in York Castle?—(Hear, and cheers.) Was he 'a worse convicted conspirator than O'Connell ? No. He never attempted to set the laws at defiance to the extent of a one hundredth part so far as O'Connell had done ; and was any mercy shown to him ? No. He had the cell of a conspirator ; he went through all the prison hardships and fare, and it was a disgrace to the Conservative Government thus to deal with a man who had been convicted as O'Connell had been. Until O'Connor and O'Connell are punished alike, let us not talk about equal justice. Now, then, gentlemen, in closing my address, I will just allude to your pro spects ; and I do not hesitate to tell you it is my firm conviction that there is nothing but ruin for the pre sent race of British farmers.—(A Voice, Landlords, you mean.' Mr. Ferrand, If you will stop, I will tell you all about the landlords.') If the farmers will take my advice they will well weigh the prospects which are before them; they will meet their land lords, and tell them that up to the last dissolu tion of Parliament they had sailed with them in the same boat, that the farmers had stood their true friends, and had returned them a majority to the House of Commons; but that when they had got there they had sold their interests, and now, being brought to the brink of ruin, they called on the land lords, as their professed friends, to prove the sincerity , of their pledge ; for as sure, rentlemen, as we stand The return published in FridaiT night's liazette ur rne - proceedings of the Bank of England, for the week ended the 6th instant, shows a further increase in the stock of bullion held by the institution. The amount, according to the present return, is 14,558,3361: against 14,365,590/. eehibited in that of the week preceding, the difference being 192,7461. The exchanges, though scarcely so high on Friday on some of the leading points of the Continent as they have been, continue decidedly favourable to this country, and, should the ordinary course of business not be interfered with by the action of foreign loans on the Money market, of which there are indications, it seems probable that there will be a further influx of the pre cious metals. The French loan is the principal financial operation in progress, and although the instalments into which it is to be divided will be spread over a long period of time, yet it is not by any means impossible that, of the portion taken by English capitalists, a good part may be remitted to Paris by anticipation. The great plenti fulness of money at the present time renders such a course the more convenient, indeed, as well as profitable, and therefore the more likely. The French railways will absorb a large amount of British capital ; the finan cial schemes of Holland and Belgium will also create a certain demand,'ner can it be doubted that a fair propor tion of the largo: mass of Three per Cent. Stock now in the process of emission at Madrid will, by some means, whether direct or indirect, be made to replace a corres ponding amount of English treasure. The effect of the various operations glanced at will, in a few weeks' time, be more clearly developed. So great an array of de mands on the one hand, and a rate of interest reduced to the low figure of 2f per cent. on the other, are points in the review of our monetary concerns that should not be lost sight of. It is not the banks alone that will have to be vigilant, for, should it become necessary, by and bye, for the Threadneedle-street establishment to raise its rate of interest and contract its accommodation, prices will inevitably be affected. It cannot be supposed that Consols will then stand at a premium, or that the value generally of share property can be supported. The joint-stock interests, under the altered state of things supposed, will, however, if past experience be a fair guide to go by, suffer not only first in point of time, but by far the most severely. A warning to share speculators is, accordingly, especially requisite when, with so many threatening symptoms in the distance, the markets have become so unusually, not to say unreasonably inflated.— Pus t. FOREIGN SPIRITS IN BOND.—The Lords of the Treasury having had under consideration a memorial, praying that the duty may be remitted on the deficien cies which have taken place in several casks of Geneva, warehoused at Brewer's Quay, the warehouses connected with which being of extra security only, and not spe cially approved, as in the case with the bonded ware houses at the Dock, their Lordships have authorised the Commissioners of the Customs, in the present case, to re mit the duties on the deficiencies of Geneva, provided their officers are satisfied that the same have arisen from natural causes, and that no abstraction or improper in terference has taken place, and in all similar cases, as re commended by their report on the subject. This order has been communicated to the officers of the several depart. ments in London, and to the collectors and comp trollers at the different outports of the kingdom for their information, with directions to govern themselves ac cordingly. With reference to the regulations in respect to deficiencies in brandy, contained in the general minute of November, 1843, viz., to make an allowance on account of deficiencies in excess of the legal quantity, beyond the allowances regulated by the Treasury order of January, 1839, according as the circumstances of each case might appear to justify, without special application being made to the Board from the outports, in those cases in which the deficiency in excess, if the legal quan tity shall not exceed three gallons per cask, observing that they first satisfy themselves that the deficiency has arisen from natural causes, and that no abstraction or improper interference has taken place ; and that a written application is to be made to the officers by the parties in elleh instance. FIRES IN CAMBRIDGE AND ITS NEIGHBOURHOOD. — On Friday evening, at about seven o'clock, the town and University of Cambridge were thrown into a state of alarm by a cry of " Fire" from the Pitt Press (the University printing-office), from the summit of the tower of which a considerable volume of flame was seen to issue. Prompt and efficacious means, however, having been resorted to, the fire was got under before any but a trifling damage had been done. The accident seems to have occurred owing to some boards having been placed on the top of the chimney to prevent it from smoking, and the collected soot thereon became ignited. The greatest anxiety was evinced for the safety of the splendid collection of paintings in the rooms immediately underneath the conflagration. The gownsmen, as has ever been their wont on such occasions, afforded the most merited and powerful assistance. On Thursday morning last the premises of Mr. Peachy, of Beck-row, Milden• ball, were discovered to be on fire, and, in spite of every possible assistance which could be rendered, the home stall, barn, stables, outhouses, stacks o f corn, &C., wer hue reduced to ashes.

Amedee Durand. Gerberoy is situated on a height, and having no water but what was sup plied by a well 65 metres deep, the inhabitants were frequently without this indispensable fluid. M. Du rand's machine, which appears to be set in motion by a windmill, collects the water from storms or long continued rains, and, by means of a reservoir, the town is now abundantly supplied.—A curious paper, con taining an account of some experiments on de capitated persons, was received from M. Bonna font, surgeon-major of the army. M. Bonnafont's communication appears to have been caused by the discussion which has arisen out of the failure in a recent case in the action of the guillotine, which fell twice before the fatal blow was inflicted upon the criminal. The adversaries of the guillotine had laid hold of this fact to renew their objections to this mode of inflicting death, and had also mentioned several experiments on men and animals to prove that sensation is not immediately destroyed by decapita tion. Amongst the authorities quoted was Dr. Sue, the father of the celebrated writer, who has stated that he had seen a turkey, when its head was cut off, rise, walk for some seconds, and endeavour to raise its leg towards the wound of the neck. The autho rity of Dr. Sue is too respectable to be doubted, but, even allowing the fact to be correct to the full extent stated, we may be permitted to say that it does not prove the existence of sensation after decapitation in the only sense in which it ought to create horror in those who witness it. If, by sensation here, we are to understand consciousness and pain, the punishment of the guillotine is not the most merciful one as a means of death that could be devised ; strangulation would be in every respect preferable, for although it does not appear to be so prompt, muscular action being kept up for a longer period than by decapitation, it is well known, upon the authority of persons who have re covered from apparent death by hanging, that the sen sation is not one of pain. Are we, however, to sup pose that, when the connection between the brain and the nervous system throughout the body is severed, pain is really felt ? The action of the turkey after decapitation can be understood, for the impulse was communicated by the brain, whilst the act of de capitation was taking place, and being transmitted to the nerves of the muscular structure, would produce the result stated so long as the nervous fluid which constitutes the springs of life retained its force ; but, before the action of the body could take place, sensa tion in the brain must be destroyed, and the brain being really the seat of the consciousness and expres sion of pain, if that be deal to suffering,. the action of the nervous aad muscular systems in the hotly should inspire no horror on the spectator, being simply an effect where the cause has ceased to exist. We have indeed read within the last few years two or three accounts of the apparent consciousness of the brain in the heads of decapitated criminals, and we confess that they were of a nature to ex cite painful sensations in the minds of such of the spectators as imagined that consciousness really existed ; but was this really the case ? The experi ments of M. Bonnafont seems to us to show that it was not. M. - Bonnafont states that, being at Algiers in 1832, he read in a journal th a t a surgeon name d Wilson had affirmed, as the result of his experiments, that, in the head of a decapitated person, the sense of hearing retained its power for a minute and a half. Wishing to put this assertion to the test, M. Bonna font took advantage of two executions to try the ex periment. We quote his own words :—" Assisted by the late Sub-Intendant de Falloy, «ho was desirous of taking part in the experiment, I had a stool placed near the instrument of death, and upon it a vessel filled with pounded plaister. Immediately after the first execution,l which was performed with remark able celerity, the executioner took the head and placed the bleeding part upon the plaister, so as to prevent the further flowing of blood. I then placed my mouth ' to the ear of the decapitated Arab, and called him by name, whilst M. de Falloy watched the eyes. In vain did I shout for a minute and a half; neither the eyes nor any of the features showed that the hearing retained the slightest degree of sensibility. The same experiment was repeated at the second execution with a speaking-trumpet, and with the same result." M. Bonnafont concludes by stating that, after the complete separation of the head from the body, there must be, if no instant death, so great a syncope, that death arrives without any of the senses retaining the slightest degree of force.—A. paper was received from M. Amador, Professor of the Faculty of Medicine of Montpellier, the object of which is to show, as far as we could comprehend it, that the popular belief of blood being the seat and vehicle of life is not so erroneous as the scientific " believes. M. Ase- 4 —'s - liant and captivating style, but, having spt only for its basis, it cannot, of course, carry CG: tion to reflecting minds. The seat of life may be in the blood, or in the nervous fluid, or in any other of the important agents of consciousness and motion ; but it is no more permitted to man to know with certainty where life is really seated, than to fathom the impene trable mystery of the first cause of life. There are some things which the knowledge of man can never reach, inasmuch as they are placed beyond the limits of his faculties. As well could the lower animals attain the reason of man, as man's reason can go be yond the bounds traced by the Creator. All inquiries within these bounds are laudable, for they may have a useful end ; but it is almost sinful to attempt to go beyond them, for irs doing so we give room to doubt and disbelief of that which we are really permitted to know,—A paper "On the general influence of the secretions on the animal economy," by M. Martini, was then read. M. Martini begins by observing that too little ac count is taken by physicians of the action exercised by the secreted and excreted fluids. "It is," says he, " to the blood and the vascular system that func tional derangements are attributed, because in nearly the whole of them there is an acceleration of the cir culation. Nobody has thought of doubting the per nicious influence of the urine, because that liquid is an excremental matter containing deleterious prin ciples; but the same property is denied to the gastric and intestinal juices, to the lachrymal discharge, and to the fluids secreted by the lungs, which are not, it is true, excremental fluids, but which, nevertheless, perform organic functions in the interior of the body." We are not quite sure that there is the total indiffe rence to the character of these secretions in the medical profession generally that M. Martini suppose's ; but we could have wished, at any rate, that the author had not confined himself to theory alone. If they perform the important functions which he assumes for them, he can only have arrived at his knowledge by facts, and some of these he ought to have adduced, in order to give force to his theory; but he seems to have thought it quite sufficient to state his theory and claim belief in it, without offering any evidence that it is correct. The theory is indeed plausible, and it will probably be tested by practical men. In the course of his paper M. Martini states that even extra vasted blood never exercises a deleterious action on the organs with which it comes in contact, whereas, according to him, the case is otherwise with the se creted liquids. This is an assertion which ought not to have been left to stand alone. M. Martini certainly ought to have shown by a few facts that the assertion was true. He states indeed, and this we can readily believe, that tears, which are apparently a harmless liquid, become a most formidable enemy to the eye if they remain a long time upon the surface. But is this a new theory ? Is it not the practice of all surgeons to prevent the accumulation of secretions of every kind, from their experience of the injurious effect which they may in that state exercise on the animal economy?

WILL OF THE EARL OF KINTORE.—The will of Anthony Earl of Kintore, late of Keith Hall, North Britain, has just been proved in Doctors Commons, by John Blackie, Esq., one of t he executors, power of prov ing hereafter being reserved for the other executors. The will in a very few words directs that his plate, household furniture, carriages, horses, &c. &c., be offered for sale to his eldest son, and in case he declines pur chasing them, divided, with the whole of his estate amongst his family. The will is extremely short, and the amount of property under it which is proved in Lon don is only 3001. (a mere nominal sum), for the purpose of obtaining an investment of that amount. The will, how ever, when proved in Scotland, will include the whole of his estates there, which are very large. THE REFUGE FOR THE DESTITUTE.—On Saturday night, in pursuance of a resolution of the Committee of the Society for the Refuge of the Destitute, which met the same day at their office in Threadneedle-street, in consequence of the extreme severity of the weather, the Asylum in Playhouse-yard, Whitecross-street, which is capable of containing between 500 and 600 persons, was for the first time this season opened for the reception of houseless poor, males, females, and children. There were 197 names entered in the book, being a much larger number than was ever admitted on a first night, L the most of whom appeared in a melancholy state 9f de stitutiou.
