OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. The Edinburgh Review for October, just pub : - Esher], ave.ils itself o f an art i c l e on L or d M a h on s Bistory to, discuss the question—which must every day more and more occupy the public attention—of a reform of the House of Lords. That the Upper House can remain as it is no rational being can be lieve, whatever differs rice of opinion may exist as to the proper remedy. The writer in the Edinburgh Re view repudiates the idea of the independence of the Lords. In noticing the opinion expressed in a pamphlet published in 1831, and attributed to a Noble Lord who ions; filled a conspicuous place in the councils of the State, that the Lords were entitled to " as full and unrestricted a voice as. either of the other branches," the Reviewer observes— To this sounding brass and tinkling cymbal,' we reply, that our 'practical Constitution knows no such then, retical independence ; that the Crown is controlled by want of supplies, and the Commons by the fear of d2issolu lien ; and we ask the objector if he thinks it reasonable that the Lords alone should be placed beyond ecntroul ? The subordinate part they have acted during tb a last century has kept their anomalous position out of sight. While they indulged in gentle repose, with the occasional excitation of a short debath—while they were content to remain, as one of the wittiest of their number described them, ' a hospital of incurables,' they escaped observation. But, if they will emerge into 'notice, and take a more bustling part in the daily Ousiness of the Government ; if, like Faust, under the guidance of 111ephistophilcs, they are seduced from their former seclusion and retiremer.l; into restless and pernicious activity, they must expect to have their pretensions canvassed and scrutinised with the same strictness and severity as those of the other Members of the Legislature. They are neither a self-constituted body, as some of their flatterers have pretended —nor are they in vested with the power they possess for their own private use and gratification. They form part of the State, which was instituted for the common good of all. It is a mistake to imagine that, unlike the other branches of the Lesgisla :ture, the House of Lords has remained always the same in its character and spirit ; or that it has exercised at all times the same power and influence ovr the Executive Government. In the course of ages it has undergone as many metamorphoses as some of the insect tribes in the progress of a single year. Under the Plantagenets, though a powerful antagonist to the rarone, it was to the people a devouring caterpillar. During the iron domination of the Tudors it sunk into torpidity, and became a chrysalis. It leas been since a gaudy insect, with some propensity to sting. It is to be hoped that it will not sting too deep, lest, like others of the insect tribe, vitani in vulnere ponat." The writer then examines the various projects which have been submitted for " correcting the defects of the Upper House, without impairing its efficiency as a va luable and useful part of the Government." The plan of reducing the numbers by having Representative Teers, in the same manner as for Ireland and Scotland: is very properly repudiated. The limitation to Peers possessed of lauded property, to a certain extent is also objected to, on account of the difficulty of ascertaining the amoint of debts and incumbrances on it. The Reviewer objects to the election of the Upper House from a list of candidates presented by the Crown that " such elections, if popular, would give us a rival House of commons, and, if committed to the more opulent members of the community, that they would end in a worse edition of the House of Lords. He suggests 2 among other plans for gradually reducing the number: and improving the character of the House of Lords, that, leaving to the Crown its present pre rogative of creating Peers, no Peer claiming by hereditary descent should sit and vote in that assembly who had not been twice elected unto the House of Commons, and sat in that House for a certain number of sessions. " None would find admission through the House of Com mons into tkre Upper House, but inert of inde pendent fe,rtune or of distinguished abilities. Those who were; disqualified b 5 nature from discharging the duty of legislators would be utterly excluded ; and the House would be redeemed from the scandal of see ing proxies given for Peers who are hardly fit to usunage their pri va t e a ff a i rs , an d far less capable of judging what is expedient or necessary for the public." It is quite certain that something must be done with the Peers. It is idle to call on the people to pro nounce their opinion on every measure in such an un equivocal manner as must place the Peers under the necessity of passing it. It is well observed by Hume, that all Governments exist by opinion. Public opi nion in Russia expresses itself by knocking the Czar on the head ; and at Constantinople the Sultan, when in collision with the opinion of his subjects, is disposed of pretty much after the same manner. 'Unquestionably no Government can resist the voice of an united people. But men form Constitutions, in order to be freed from the necessity of gene ra l risings ; arid th e C onst i tut i on which leaves men no other alternative, when they wish to carry any measure, but to act en masse, may be safely pronounced exceedingly defective. We must have a Constitution in which the branches of the Legislature shall move, witho u t being driven by the apprehension of popular section. The people must provide for their da:: 4 ly wants, and they ought not be distracted from their concerns to compel one branch of the Legislature to do its duty. If there be such a vice in, the composition of that branch that it will always act against the people, except when compelled to act against its inclination by apprehension of danger, this is - pronouncing sentence of condemnation against it. The writer in the Review justly, we think, supposes the Lords to have . provoked a colli sion unr.ler the impression of regaining their influence in the House of Commons by changes in the elec toral body. In case of a dissolution the fate of the country will be placed in the hands of the electo ral body. " Let it never be absent," says the writer, ss from their thoughts that a majority of one in the House of Commons - may undo in a single week all that for years they bave been labouring to accomplish. Let them recollect that as the Reform Bill was passed by the King and by a ma j or i ty of the two Houses, so it may be repealed by the same authority." How ever, without reference to this contingency, it is quite certain that, as the Reviewer justly observes, " the two Houses cannot remain in their present position for another session ; that the power of legislation can not be much longer suspended ; that the country can not con.t.inue under two hostile assemblies counter acting each other ; th a t on e o f th em must g i ve way— spontaneously, if wise—under the influence of some over-ruling necessity, if obstinate."—Morning Chron. Our readars will have observed, that at the dinner given in Ireland to one of his Majesty's Cabinet, and in Scotland to his Attorney-General, the health of O'Connell was ostentatiously given—at the first by the Chairman—at the second by a high military officer, who supports the Government. Does not this prove, that it is at least useful, if not agreeable, to the Mi nisters to pay him all possible court, and to support his credit with the people ? They absolutely con descend to flatter him as slaves do the tyrant whom they fear; yet, if they could secure their power with out. his aid, there is not one of them that would not be " brutal and bloody enough" to see him hanged with pleasure The necessity of having the powers of the Government, and the emoluments of office, in their own hands, is the only maxim to which they adhere with undeviating fidelity. For this they would either pull down the church and the monarchy, or strenuously support them—praise or punish O'Connell —indulge or insult the`King—make or break a foreign alliance. Every body knows, that if the ultra-Tories would but have consented to some colourable reform in Parliament that might have enabled Lord Grey to redeem, or, to insist that he had redeemed, one of his pledges, he and the Whigs would have eagerly jumped . into an alliance 'with them. Th e o bj ec t o f main taining their own power w as th e t rue Whi g pr i nc i p l e t h at measured the . extent of their ref orm , an d governed all its The dest ruc ti on o f t h e Conservative party, that is, of the rank, the wealth, and the intelligence of the coun try, is n ow t h e i r secon d ary object, as the energy and consolidation of that party form the most efficient ob stacle to their determination of continuing in office. Hence all their fury and falsehood, when at their dis loyal threepenny feasts they fall foul upon the Conser vative party, or any of their leaders. Hence the un blushing and unbridled audacity with which they de nounce Sir. Robert Peel, the Duke of Wellington, 'Lord Lyndhurst, as enemies of all rational reform— knowing as they do full well, that the rational and constitutional reforms meditated and proposed by these illustrious statesmen have been frustrat e d hi t h erto b y nothing else but the determination,,, of the Whig party to regain and to maintain office at every sacrifice and at every hazard. True to this their leading prin ciple, and to this alone, as the needle to the pole, they advance the Papist power in Ireland at the risk of disuniting the empi re . Th ey p l ace t h e d est i n i es of Englundin the hands of a small majority consti tuted by that persuasion alone, against the declared sense of the representatives of England. They defy the wealth and the intelligence of Great Britain and Ireland —they insinuate disloyalty—they foster dissent —they encourage sedition—they coax the Radicals whom they hate—flatter O'Connell whom they fear, and fawn upon Hume whom they despise. Blind zealots ! infatuated faction I not to see that their own selfish policy must lay them at the feet of the party which they court, and upon which they depend, and which wants nothing so much as th , ..s opportunity of strangling them -as the objects of their greatest loath ing—that a great and rich empire cannot be governed against the sense of its aristocracy, its wealth, its Pe►i s , its gentlemen, its merchants, its bankers, 39, 'manufac turers, to say nothing of the Church and the liberal and learned professions, withor.l, a revolution and an agrarian law—that their own Reform Bill, accord ing to their own pledges and professions, made it practicable, and, according to all sound opinions, made it essential for all men of all parties, who had any property at stake, to unite for the preservation ct the Church and the monarchy—to bring all that the influence of position in society, of wealth, and of intelligence, could accomplish, into union, that they might act together in adjusting the balance which that measure had necessarily for a time disturbed, in trimming the vessel that she might not be forced to drive to her ruin before the popular gusts to which she must at the first be exposed. What, then, has the boasted Reform Bill brought us to this—that we must treat our splendid nobility, our renowned English gentry, our magnificent trading capitalists, as so many impediments and so much lumber in the State ? Had they no part in exalting the glory of the British name, in forming and consolidating the unexampled grandeur, power, and prosperity of the British nation ? Are they not bound up and inseparably incorporatod with the very form, and essence, and durability of the Bd.- fish empire ? Is it to the Wat Tylers of past ages that we owe any portion of our greatness or of our liberty ? or from those of the present that we exp ec t any support of the one or th e other ? Must we forget the Chathams, the Grenvilles, the Pitts, the Foxes, the Burkes, and turn only to the Hunts, the Cobbetts, the Whalleys, the Wakleys, the Gullys, the Sheils, and the Roebucks, for lessons of true patriotism and wisdom ? Or are we indeed doomed to forego all the benefits of a wise, temperate, and enlightened Govern ment, guided by the talents, and experience, and mo deration of a Peel and a Wellington, in order to listen to the impudent charlatanerie and the empty frivolities of Spring_Rice--to be insulted and trampled upon by the lawless passions and rude violence of O'Connell, and to be made the laughing-stock of Europe by the stupid ignorance and incurable conceit of Joseph Hume ? Greatly then is England " Fallen, fallen, fallen, Fallen from her high estate," with nothing great to console her in her fall. She has been no stranger to misfortunes and reverses, but she has been a stranger to disgrace and shame. " We've grieved, we've sighed, we've wept, we never blushed ' before." —Times. There is a time for all things, saith the proverb. The same act which at one time, and under some cir cumstances, would be decorous and proper, may, at another time, and under other circumstances, be di rectly the reverse—as much depends on the propriety of the season as the propriety of the act. We would recommend the consideration of these premises to our fellow-citizens who are now exerting themselves to have a statue raised in honour of the Duke of Welling ton. Were this exertion exclusively confined to that party who entertain the same political opinions as his Grace, we should not, perhaps, think it necessary to interfere, knowing that the monument would be esteemed at its just worth ; but when we see men of liberal politics lend the sanction of their countenance to the proceeding, and give the semblance of national to the demonstration of a party, we feel it incumbent to appeal to the calm, unprejudiced ,opinion of the public to decide whether or not the time be well chosen to pay the tribute of a monument to his Grace of Wellington ? To do justice to an opponent is one of the most plea surable acts of an honourable mind ; and of the mili tary abilities and personal virtues of the Duke we are as ready to record our admiration and respect as the most ardent of his friends can possibly be ; but we must not confine our view to one side of his character— it should be estimated as a whole ; we must not look at his Grace only as a soldier and a man, but also as a statesman. We cannot abstract the good from the evil —and, viewed in this light, our admiration of one part of his Grace's character is equalled only by our aver sion of the other. Had this statue been erected imme diately after the battle of Waterloo, with which the names of Britons and Wellington are so gloriously as sociated, it should have had not only our advocacy, but our subscription ; but since then a generation has passed away—his Grace has entered upon a new career--and we ask, is it judicious or becoming, at a time when the country is placed by the Duke and his party in circumstances of fully as much danger as that from which the battle of Waterloo rescued it, to offer him a tribute of admiration and applause ? Pub lic gratitude has been claimed for his Grace on the score of Catholic emancipation ; but we believe him to possess too much sense and candour to appropriate any compliment in this regard. We might as well thank Napoleon for losing the battle of Water loo, as his Grace for suffering himself to be beaten on the Catholic question, when he could not help him self. And here we must say that his Grace made his usual candour subservient to his policy, for every act of his public life since that period has been in opposition to the principle on which that Act was based, and the promise which it made to four-fifths of the British people—the principle and promise of religious liberty. We do not think that at a time when the Noble Duke's party threaten to coerce the people by means of the army, that his military attainments are altogether a fit subject for public exultation. The Tories do well to vaunt and eulogise his prowess ; but it is worse than ridiculous for the friends of Reform to join the acclamation in favour of its most steadfast, and, we readily add, most honourable opponent. We under stand that several influential gentlemen of the City intended to move amendments to the resolutions lately passed at the Mansion-house, but were prevented from taking part in the meeting by the terms of the requi sition by which it was called, which invited those only who were favourable to the project. W e trust, however, that .those gentlemen will take an early opportunity of entering their protest against being considered parties to an act, which, however disguised, is intended to be made an evidence of poli tical feeling. The gentleman who moved the second resolution avowed his hope that one side of the column should be left uninscribed, in order that when another 21 years should have passed, and political feelings subsided, the then Lord Mayor and citizens might record on it their opinion of the Duke's political principles. On this side, we presume is intended to be recorded the conquest of his country, and the Reformers who now are cajoled into the enemy's camp will have the satisfaction of transmitting to their posterity the me lancholy ev id ence of their folly and -their enemy 's triumph. If the Tories must have have a Wellington monument, we would recommend them to purchase that in the Phoenix Park, Dublin, which we are cer tain the people of Ireland would dispose of much un der prime cost. Here we shall be ready to help them to a bargai n ; honour t o a but w e s h a ll no t su b scr ib e a m it e t o do man who, whatever his achievements in, war, and whatever his personal character, is the politi cal enemy of his country. Even of his greatest vic tory, that of Waterloo, it is a question whether the tyranny which it established or that which it subdued was most hostile to human happiness and human liberty.—Morning .Adveztiser. A Ministerial writer, i of wh om i t may be said that " his wit, though small, s equ a l to his judgment, has adverted (if we rightly remember) t o the clay feet" of the colossal statue of Russian domi n i on. There is an obscurity about this allusion whi c h we think inju dicious ; because obscurity is an attribute of the su blime rather than of that gay and witty style, which Lord Palmerston and his copyists seem to think most appropriate to the discussion of grave affairs. We are at a loss to decide whether this pleasant commen tator upon the affairs of nations means to allude to the feet of the statue seen in a vision of Nebuchad nezzar, King of Babylon, Dl' to the va'st and increasing territory of the Italssitn einpite-. Perhaps a reference is intended to both ; but it is eqnally Unhappy with respect t o eac h, Th e feet bf 'the titatile ; as seen in the vision of the PabylOnian, Welt only part of clay, and they were i•eattitv broken because their cour r e- , ::_ Lion was heterogeneous. Now 11 , ,;,, /a n:o - o liel le th e very reverse of this. And as to 'ha teviiii3fy, it forms not the feet of her power, httt bate Upon which that Power plant§ its HMsMi Wilt, With a caution which pitta out of the question. But, to leave the flowers and statues of metaphor for Tr suited to o ur p ur p ose an d our t as t e , l et a style b e t_t 1 3 ‘7, seek to inform ourselves and our tee.dell Upon the actual policy of Russia with Noll to territorial ag grandiacinent tkkaid by which she pursues it, and the use Aieti she makes of her success. The writer of " The progress and present prsitioll of Russia in the East," throws a very lotur light upon the subiect in the following teinarks : "T4t. , .'...kviaity with which Russia has sought, and the pertinacity with which she has clung to, every acquisition of territory, even when it could be maintained only at the cost of large pecuniary sacrifices, shows that she value's these acquisitions, with reference to same other consi deration than the mere intrinsic worth of the property acquired ; that she regards them as a means, not as an end ; and the position she has secured to herself, by her treaties with Persia and Turkey, affords unequivocal indications of a preparation for future encroachments. " aer whole history, and the posture in which she actu ally stands, contradict any professions of indifference to conquest and aggrandisement that she may venture to put forth. " It is not by actual conquest only that Russia may overthrow the independence of Persia and Turkey, and convect the resources of both countries to her own use. To overturn the existing Governments, and establish, by force of arms, het' own direct rule, would involve a pro tracted eintp,g/e, and demand frequent and continued exer . here of physical power. This would become a drain on her own resources, and would go far to exhaust those of the conquered country, before her authority could be fully esta blished. At the same time, it could hardly fail to excite the alarm of other Governments, and perhaps arouse them to active opposition. She has, therefore, pursued a wiser course. " She has confined herself to a system of successive en croachments, no one of which has been of sufficient import ance to interrupt herfriendly relations with the great Powers of Europe; or to appear, when considered alone, a sacri ficefatal to the Power that made it; and she has founded, upon her acknowledged superiority in physical means, and upon the success of her arms and intrigues, an influence which is progressively increasing in the councils of the na tions she has humbled. " It is, therefore, her policy to maintain the existing Governments, but to prevent them from acquiring strength ; and to press her influence upon their weakness, till it be comes authoritative and paramount. She seeks to govern the nations through their natural rulers, till the time shall have arrived for annexing them more formally to her own dominions. No violence is thus called for—no collision need take place, and if there is no collision there is no op portunity for other Powers to interpose. No apparent change will be made in the institutions to which the people have been accustomed ; and the resources of the countries, unbroken and undisturbed, will be more completely at her disposal than if the forcible conquest of the kingdoms had already been effected. This is no speculative opinion. It is the precise course by which she became possessed of other countries—it is the course she has pursued almost to the verge of consummation in Turkey—it is the course she has adopted in Persia. There, as in Turkey ; her system is to solve every question, political or commercial, not with reference to its own merits or to justice, but by an appeal to the clemency of the Emperor, or the threat of his displea sure. The domineering spirit of Russia is evinced in every discussion, small or great, in which she has a part, and the humiliation of the Persian Government is studiously exhi bited to subjects." The foregoing extract is worthy of being read again and again, by those who would rightly appreciate the course of Russian policy. It is, in our judgment, a most felicitous developement of that system of profound and sleepless ambition, which, without giving alarm to surrounding nations, proceeds onwards with calm, crafty, persevering energy, to its point. Mark the difference between this system and that of Napoleon. He crushed and took possession ; tumbled down thrones, overturned dynasties, and every where planted the flaunting standard of his own despotism. His was a personal ambition. He sought to make the nations tremble and wonder at the power and glory of Napoleon, and for this he sacrificed the mighty empire which a national policy might have conso lidated. The oppressed nations of continental Europe rose against him, led and supported by our own free country, which, thanks be to God, even Napoleon never was able to oppress, because we were true to our selves and to old English principles. His enormous and palpable tyranny alarmed all Europe, and Europe arose and put him down. In vain do the Parisians raise again the statue of Napoleon on its old pedestal. His name will never rise again where once it stood in glorious pre-eminence. He dashed it down himself, when, having made the empire of France, he sacrificed it to his own insatiable vanity as a military conqueror. The wonder and execration of civilized mankind will be his portion, so long as he is remembered. Russian am bition contemplates the lifetime not of a man, but of a nation, and the above extract shows us with what con summate skill it works. Let us take care that we are not in the end absorbed by it ; and that we, who so sternly withstood the arms of the French conqueror, when all else fell before him, are not among the first to be overcome by the arts of Russian policy, more fatal to us than arms. There need be no fear of this, if our foreign policy were ably conducted. Caution and firm ness, and the assumption of that attitude in Europe which Great Britain is entitled to take, would be enough. But if our policy remain under the guidance of so mean a statesman as Lord Palmerston, who wastes the power and degrades the name of Great Bri tain by paltry co-operation with liberal revolutionists, Russia will surely take advantage of our folly, for her own aggrandizement.—iVlorning Herald. All the world remembers—or might, could, or should remember--in what a terrible taking the provincial Radicals were, not long since, because they were pre vented from electing trustees for the various local cha ritable institutions. " What I not trust the immaculate Reformers with the mere management of a few cha rities ?" This was the cry. It was asked who were so likely to be impartial in administering the munificen bequests of pious Churchmen as those who cared no• thing for the Church, and therefore could have no in- terest in the matter ? By-the-way, it was not so much to the want of interest as the want of principle that we objected. But let that pass. Supposing that there were some show of justice, said the more plausi ble " Reformers," in the exclusion of the no-reli gion faction from introniission with property be queathed for Church purposes, there were other cases in which no such exclusion could in any way be called for. For instance it would be difficult to imagine how party feeling could have interfered with the distri bution of a score. of silver fourpences, or a dozen penny loaves, on any particular Sunday or Saint's Day. Nor was it one whit more probable that poli tical bias should be exhibited in serving out pulvis rhcei to a medical or splints to a surgical patient in an hospital or dispensary. All this sounded very plau sible, and was diligently urged, with a view to show how illiberal were the Tories, and what suffering martyrs to their political opinions were the Radicals of the country. But let us see how sincere the latter must have been when they . asserted, or rather implied, their impartiality. The Lord Chancellor having as sumed the management of charitable trusts—at least so far as the appointment of trustees might be concerned —invited the no m i nat i on of persons for his approval ; and the lists sent up for that purpose are the proofs upon which we rely, in support of that deci sion of the House of Lords by which the appoint ment of charity trustees was not confided to the re formed Mayors and Town -councils. Very many in stances have occurred in which we have had occasion to observe, from what the Whig-Radicals have at tempted, what they would have done if the power had been entrusted to their :hands. These instances have been of more or less intensity of mischievous inten tion ; but one has been brought under our notice by the Kentish Observer that tells a great deal in a small compass. It relates to precisely one of those cases that were so i ns idi o u s ly put forth as not s uscept ibl e o f , being made a party matter. What could politics have to do with a hospital ? Yet it was of the administra tion of a hospital that the Reformers - of Hythe have endeavoured to make A dirty political job. Thus writes our Kentish cotitetiipdtary:=-- " ST. BARTHOLOMEW'S IiO3PITAI 4 HYTHE. " In the latter part df Atk„riatSt tdwn -council of Hythe, tiiitter adVieo 8f the kil-kr.Bwn Mr: Joseph Parkes, pelitionnt the Lord (;hancellor relative to the ap pointment of fresh trustees for this hospital. _ About the same tbr27_ , Deed - es, And George rinnis, , Esq., tike tiiis(Cd§; ft!iitipointed. Alter VaiiNs whom the Lord Ali, iarellbi had I:eitiii:ed the town council Wai'a directed to nominate proper persons to supply the vacancies, and: they accordingly named five Radicals and one Conservative, the latter of whom they honoured by placing his name at the bottom of the list: The Master required prOf that did parties 90 riiirhed i ere jrt and re speelaMe persons; that they Wete fioi geletqed from any particular party ; and that they *mild consent to act. Under these eircumstantiet the tOdef *ill be rather as tonished at UdlildA6 Willi which the t Liberal gentle men' attempted to foist persons of their own nomination into the trusteeship. " The Town-clerk, as usual, was required to certify to the Master upon oath, that these persons were not selected from any particular party. He did so. We are, there fore, bound to believe that the above statement, though coming from a most respectable quarter, is incorrect ; be cause we should otherwise be compelled to suppose that the Town-clerk had heedlessly taken an oath to a matter which he had not sufficiently inquired into beforehand. It is true (at any rate it is extremely probable) he was cog nisant of the fact that the individuals above mentioned, during the time they had been members of the Town council, had uniformly voted on what most people would call the Liberal side ; but this circumstance by no means proves that he considered them as belonging to any parti cular party. We are assured, indeed, that he does not ; on the contrary, as we understand, he regards them as persons of different parties.' This ought not to be viewed as anything Very extraordinary, wh e n we h av e it upon re cord (videHanzlet) that even a Privy Councillor could call a cloud a camel, a weasel, and a whale, according as he was bid. We are not, however, able to account so satis factorily for another circumstance which has been men tioned to us, involving a question of dates. We allude to the day, on which Mr. Watts signified his consent to act, in the event of his being appointed, and the day on which it was stated, in the Town-clerk's affidavit, that all the six had consented. Here there must be some cleri cal error. " These various circumstances, however, being all stated to the master, he very judiciously refused to adopt the list of the council, and has recently reappointed the three old trustees only, viz., Messrs. _Deedes, Finnis, and Shipdem, against whom nothing had been alleged, either as to their respectability or competency to fill the office." The result has certainly been satisfactory, thanks to habits of official scrutiny, and the caution of the Master in Chancery. But what do our readers think would have been the consequence if the Solons of Hythe had been permitted to do as tliey liked, or had only been subjected to the supervision of the Solomon of the Home-Office ? " The favour of an answer will oblige."--Morning Post. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE. VESSELS ENTERED INWARDS AT THE CUE. TOM-HOUSE, OCT. 21.

AN ANTIDOTE TO MELANCHOLY.—Though we have not been honoured with a diploma from the College of Physicians, yet we venture to prescribe for the hypochon driac quite as efficacious, and certainly a more agreeable, restorative than his medical adviser could offer. When the mind is oppressed with fantastic images of evil, the only sure antidote is to be found in means which, by establishing a pleasurable excitement, produce a re-action, and restore it to its wonted tone of vigour. Such means we recommend, and the dose we prescribe is—a perusal or" Mr. Midship man Easy," Captain Marryatt's last new, and, in many re spects, best novel. SURGICAL OPERATION EXTRAORDINARY.— Mr. Liston yesterday, at the North London Hospital, re moved the whole of the left superior maxillary bone and part of the right, with a tumour attached, from a female, aged 20. The tumour occupied a great part of the cavity of the mouth, projecting forward beneath the upper lip, which was completely hidden by it ; the nose was carried upwaids between the. eyes ; the surface of the tumour was ulcerated, and measured from side to - side 61 inches ; from the inner angle of the left eye downwards, 4i inches ; from the angle of the mouth to the left ear, the pro- jection heir): covered by the integuments, 5 inches ; the right side of the face was also somewhat distended. It projected backwards and downwards into the throat, carrying the soft palate above it, scarcely leaving sufficient aperture for the passage of food, &c. The tumour had been eight years growing ; 3i years' since it did not exceed the size of a hens' egg, and was then removed at a county infirmary ; the patient remained at that infirmary eight months. Soon after her dismissal the growth of the tumour recommenced, and progressed rapidly, so as to attain nearly its present size. She was then admitted into one of the London hospitals, remained fifteen weeks, and was dis charged as incurable. The tumour, entire, wits successfully removed by Mr. Liston, before a large assemblage of prac titioners of the metropolis and students of the hospital, in the short space of eight minutes. The appearance of the face, even immediately after the operation, was much im proved, and there is little doubt but that in a short time no traces of the disease will remain, excepting some slight marks of the incision. THE LAST DAYS OF MRS. HEMANS.—WC are told by Mr. Chorley, in his new work, the " Memorials of Mrs. Hemans," which is written in an excellent spirit, that to wards the close of her exemplary life " she spoke often of the far-away friends whom she valued, and would send them messages of kindness and comfort ; she was anxious that one (Miss Mitford) should be told of the delight which her country scenes and sketches bad given her ; that another, the companion of her graver hours, should be assured that the tenderness and affectionateness of the Redeemer's cha racter, which they had often contemplated together, was now a source not merely of reliance but of positive happi ness to the sweetness of her couch." Yesterday morning, a young wife and her infant child, residing in Taylo r - s t reet, Gl asgow, lost their lives by suffocation, caused by carbonic acid gas. The house in which they slept had been newly formed out of a weaver's shop. It was about nine feet square, low roofed, closely constructed, and badly ventilated. The family, consisting of the husband, James Morrison, one of the night-watch men of the gas works, his wife, and only child, had taken possession of it on Satu r d ay morn i ng. Th e h us b an d wen t out to do his duty on Saturday night, and on his return home at six o'clock yesterday morning, he knocked at the door repeatedly, but no one answered. He saw that the key was in the lock, whi c h conv i nce d hi m that his wife was within. He had surprised the neighbours by the knocking, and he got their assistance to break open the door, when he found his child lying upon the breast of its m other, both quit e d ea d . Th e very melancholy circum stance was yesterday, and is still, the subject of conversa tion in the neighb our h oo d. Th e h ouse is described as being unfit to keep a fire in during the night, and those who knew that to be the case express the deepest regret that it was not made known to the new tenants,--Glasgo w Chronicle of Monday, PRICES OF CANALS, DOCK STOCKS, ASSURANCE CW,IPANIES, &c. &c. &c.
