The following are specimens of the premiums charged by this Com pany for the assurance of 1001. An Account of the Quantity of Fine Sugar, the pro duce of Foreign Sugar refined, in bond, exported from London and outports of the United Kingdom, distinguishing the ports from whence, and the countries to which, the same was exported, between January 5, 1841, and July 5, 1844. (In continua tion of Parliamentary Paper, No. 239, Sept. 1841.) _ _ _ This paper shows a very remarkable decrease in an important trade of export within the above period. It appears that the total export of this refined sugar from the United Kingdom to all parts of the world, was (in the year, ending January 31, 1842), 311,727 cwt., exclusive of 1,117 cwt. shipped as stores. Year ending Jan. 5, 1843, 274,708 cwt. (and 8,868 cwt. as stores). Year ending Jan. 5, 1844, 259,879 cwt. (and 10,239 cwt. as stores). Half-year ending July 5, 1844, 112,242 cwt. (and 4,853 cwt. as stores). REGISTRATION OF ELECTORS (IRELAND). We cannot better illustrate the importance of these returns than by giving at length the terms in which they were severally moved for. They are 1. A return of the total number of Parliamentary electors appearing, by the lists or books of the clerks of the peace, registered for each county, city, town, and borough in Ireland, on the Ist day of February in each of the following years, viz., 1835, 1837, and 1844 ; including in the return for 1844 those only who had been registered subsequently to the Ist day of February, 1836 ; distinguishing in separate columns the numbers registered under different qualifications; and showing the increase or decrease exhibited by the numbers as appearing registered on the Ist day of February, 1844, compared with those appearing re gistered at each of the said previous periods. 2. A return of the electors for counties in Ireland now entitled to vote, with the names of the baronies from which each elector registers. Similar return of the electors registered after the passing of the Irish Reform Act. 3. Returns of the number of registered electors in the counties, cities, and boroughs of Ireland, from the Ist day of February, 1843, to the Ist day of February, 1844 ; also, of the total number of registered electors for each county, city, and borough of Ireland, on the Ist day of February, 1844. It will be seen that the return to the order, on Sir Robert Ferguson's motion, combines the most im portant particulars —namely, those connected with the relative increase or decrease of registered voters at given periods. Thus, the general abstract of the total number of Parliamentary electors in Ireland re gistered at each of the abovementioned periods, shows the increase and decrease thereof, Feb.l, 1844, compared with each of the previous periods. We give the totals, for counties, cities, and counties of towns, and boroughs (the aggregate returns for each being separately stated in the Parliamentary Paper itself) : Registered to Feb. 1, 1835 96,051 Registered from Feb. 1, 1836, to Feb. 1, 1844, inclusive 101,196 Increase, Feb. 1, 18 44 , co m p ared with Feb. 1, 1835 Decrease, Feb. 1, 1844, compared with Feb. 1, SPORTING INTELLIGENCE TATTERSALL'S. The town settling for the St. Leger took place, or rather commenced, yesterday, and, from the neglect of several parties whose means, station, and disposition to pay, are above suspicion, to attend either in person or by deputy, and the absence of two or three others of whose ability to meet their engagements strong doubts are en tertained, was a most unsatisfactory proceeding ; still, the balances remaining unpaid, although large enough to produce a good deal of inconvenience and angry feeling, are trifling in comparison with former St. Legers, and, with a few exceptions, are likely to be made good in the course of the present or the following week. The betting on the Cesarewitch, for which a large acceptance will be declared this day, was confined to the Duke of Portland's Souvenir filly at 10 to 1 (taken), and Sir G. Heatheote's Campanero at 20 to 1 (taken) ; offers to take 15 to 1 about the Brewer. For the Derby, 18 to 1 was laid agst Colonel Anson's Kedger (the takers anxious to go on), 33 to 1 agst the Duke of Rutland's Minikin colt, 1,000 to 20 agst Mr. Watts's Myrrha colt, and 20 to 1 agst Sir G.

It appeared from the statement of Counsel, and the evidence of Dr. Allen and other witnesses, that Mr. Mayo has a family of six children, and is entitled to property amounting to about 3,0001. a year. He had, previous to 1840, exhibited some flightiness, but during that year, while residing at Oxford, symptoms of aberration first manifested themselves. He then lost a favourite dog which concerned him much, and he appeared so overjoyed at its restoration that he actually sat up two nights with the dog. In 1841, he lost a child, of whom the surgeon deemed it necessary to have a post mortena examination, when Mr. Mayo conducted himself very strangely, and was present at and assisted in the post mortem examination. On another occasion he got two of his children into a room, shut them in, and alarmed them by brandish ing two cutlasses. He barricaded the door, to pre vent any person going in, by placing a chest of drawers against it. The children screamed loudly, upon which he threatened to kill them, and going to the window flourished the cutlasses therefrom aria collected a mob in the streets below. The door was at length forced open, when he cut at the persons who attempted to enter with such violence, as to sever part of the door post ; and when at last persons succeeded in entering and rescuing the children, he leaped from the window into the street and sprained his ancle. In 1842, hearing his wife was coming to Oxford, al though he had previously been an affectionate hus band, he precipitately left and went to Cheshunt, where he resided some time at a public-house, pur suing the same uproarious career, until it was at length found necessary to remove him, under the usual certificate, to the establishment of Dr. Allen, at High Beach. Pr. Allen and other medical gentlemen were of opinion that Mr. Mayo was decidedly of un sound mind, and incapable of managing himself or his affairs. The remarks made by M. Mayo, in reply to the Commissioner's questions, were of such an incoherent character as to satisfy the minds of the jury, and a verdict was returned—" That Mr. Herbert Mayo was of unsound mind, and had been so from the 25th of September, 1842." three yrs old colts, Bst 71b ; and fillies, Bst 31b.

From Feb. 1, 1836, to Feb. 1, 1844, there were registered for all counties of Ireland, of 501. free holders, 11,728 ; of 20/. freeholders, 4,886; of 20/. leaseholders, 1,435 ; of 10/. freeholders, 34,187; of 101. leaseholders, 4,612 ; of rent-chargers, 1,133 — grand total, 57,981. The results of the next table are curious. It is entitled, " An Abstract of the total number and quali • fication of Parliamentary Electors appearing re gistered for the several counties in Ireland, on the Ist February in each of the following years, viz., 1835, 1837, and 1844; including in 1844 those only who had been registered subsequently to Ist February, 1836 ; and showing the increase and decrease ex hibited by the numbers as appearing registered on the Ist February, 1844, compared with those appearing registered at each of the said previous periods." The general sum of the f ig ures here given (under heads similar to the preceding ones) indicates that there was an increase on Feb. 1, 1844, as compared with Feb. 1, 1837, of only 179 registered votes (i. e., 49 leaseholders of 201., and 130 rent-chargers), whereas the total decrease on the Ist February, 1844, as compared with the Ist February, 1837, was no less than 16,679, i. e., 1,470 50/. freeholders, 3,075 201. freeholders, 11 , 133 10/. freeholders, 1,100 lot. lease holders. The grand total of registered electors for cities and counties of towns in Ireland, of all qualifications, stood on Ist February, 1837, at 26,693; on Ist Fe bruary, 1835, it had been 20,286. Between Feb. 1, 1837, and Feb. 1, 1844, there was an increase of 101. householders, 1,839 ; of rent-chargers, 2 ; of freemen, 1,632. In same interval the increase was, of 501. free holders, 25 ; of 20/. freeholders, 450 ; of 20/. lease• holders, 29 ; of 101. freeholders, 130 ; of 10/. lease holders, 370; of 40s. freeholders, 1,025. Registered electors for boroughs in Ireland, of all qualifications, on Feb. 1, 1835, were 11,576 ; on Feb. 1, 1837, 15,355. Grand total registered between Feb. 1, 1836, and Feb. 1, 1844, inclusive, 15,078. Total decrease of electors registered between Feb. 1, 1837, and Feb. 1, 1844, 277. By another table it is shown that the total number of electors now entitled to vote for all the counties of Ireland is 57,169 ; and that there have been registered since passing of the Reform Act, 65,437. A like table as to cities and boroughs, shows that, from Feb. 1, 1843, to Feb. 1, 1844, the number of electors registered was 2,660. Total number of electors registered on Feb. 1, 1844, 50,312. Grand total of registered electors for counties, cities, and boroughs of Ireland, on Feb. 1, 1844, 117,448.

ESCAPE FROM SLIVERY.—On Thursday last, ar rived in Falmouth harbour the Lord Bruce brig, Captain Poole, with a cargo of Sugar, from Pernambuco. A few mornings after the Lord Bruce left Pernambuco, a very fine Bongo black lad, about eighteen or twenty years of age, made his appearance on deck, to the no small sur prise of the captain an d crew of the Lord Bruce. He is not able to speak a single word of English, but talks the Portuguese language tolerably well, from which we learn that he was a slave, and had been brought to the Brazils, in a slaver, from a far distant country. It ap pears he, with many other slaves, had been sent off to the Lord Bruce with barges of sugar, and again returned on shore, and the night previous to the sailing of the vessel, he stole a craft peculiar to the South Americans, called a cantamaran , taking with him a tolerable stock of provisions, and same very good c l o thes, and came on board, and stowed himself away, uno b serve d, amongst the cargo, and did not make his appearance until he knew the vessel was so far at sea, that th ere was no chance of his being sent b ack again ; thus effecting his escape from slavery. The captain treated him with every possible kindness, but as the poor fellow seems ra ther unfit for the sea, he will be thrown on the parish of Falmouth, until some means can be adopted to get him to provide for hi m self.—Devonportlndepend en t. GOPSALL.—Her Majesty the Queen Dowager and her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent arrived here on Wednesday afternoon, at half-past five o'clock, in a carriage and four , with outriders, and escorted by Earl If ow e's troop of the Leicestershire Yeomanry Cavalry, commanded by Viscount Curzon. The Royal party were attended by Lady Clinton, Sir Horace and Miss Mi ss Wheatley, Mr. Hudson, Sir Andrew Seymour Miss and Sir G. Couper. Upon the arrival of the illustrious visitors, they were received by Earl Howe iu the court attached to the mansion, where the Leicester shire yeomanry baud were stationed, and played the national anthem. A large assemblage of company, horse and foot, greeted the Royal party with loud cheers. Dinner w as served at seven o'clock, and in the evening the band performed some favourite music in the library. Numerous visitors are expected during the week.

DYING WITH THE REPUTATION OF WEALTH.- Yesterday Mr. Wakley, M.P., held an inquest at the Three Compasses, Little Marylebone-street, on the body of Eliza Jerrold, aged eighty-four, who died suddenly at her lodgings, 12, Chesterfield-street, last Friday. The usual evidence as to deceased's death having been given, several females rose, and, addressing the Coroner, stated that she died wealthy, and each put in her claim to it, from promises made and hopes held out by deceased. One said that deceased told her that she should be her residuary legatee ; another, that deceased made her pro mise that she should close her eyes and follow her to the grave ; a third laid claim to deceased's property, in consequence of the latter having washed and dressed her when she was born ; and several others laid claims to effects and chattels upon somewhat similar grounds. Mr. Wakley, who was little prepared for this scene, es pecially as deceased's apartment betrayed anything but the appearance of opulence, inquired if she had possessed any property, when he was informed that she had been a housekeeper to a respectable builder, who, in return for her faithful services, bequeathed her an annuity of 531., and that she had been a woman of most frugal habits. Mr. Wakley explained that his office was to in quire into the cause of death, and not the amount of property. He added that it was most extraordinary how many relatives and friends were found when property was in question, while he scarcely ever knew one to come forward when death took place in a workhouse. A Voice—" But where is the box 2" Several Voices— " Yes, yes, where is the tin box ?" Mr. Wukley— What tin box ? First Voico—" In which sho kept her money." A Mr. Parrot said, "I have it ; she left all her property to my wife three years ago." Another Voice—" Here is her will" (holding up a piece of dirty paper, scribbled over). Mr. Wakley (rising from his seat, and endeavouring to make the best of his way from among the contending legatees)—You must put the case in the hands of the Queen's Remembrancer. The worthy Coroner having given this advice left the several claimants to settle the dispute among themselves, having first directed the beadle how he should act. SUICIDE IN A BROTHEL. — Yesterday, Mr. Baker, jun., held an inquest at the Angel Inn, High-street, Whitechapel, on the body of George Courtenay Bell, aged forty-nine, a beer-shopkeeper, of the Globe-road, Mile-end. It appeared in evidence that deceased left his home on Wednesday morning last, to pay a bill of 51., which ho did pay. Nothing more was heard of him until eight o'clock on Thursday evening, when meeting with a prostitute, named Sullivan, whom he knew, he gave her his coat to pawn to enable him to raise money to treat her with drink and accompany her home. Raving regaled themselves at a public - house , they re paired to a brothel in Angel-alley, and after some time he dismissed her and went to bed by himself. Very early next morning he asked of the servant of the house, as she passed his bed-room door, what o'clock it was. He received the required information, and the inmates thought he rose and went away. About three o'clock on Friday afternoon, the woman Sullivan returning for an apron she had forgotten in the room, deceased was found suspended by the neck from a partition dividing partly the room, by means of a silk handkerchief. He was im mediately cut down, and Mr. Mears, a surgeon, called in who said he had been dead several hours. It further appeared that three years ago deceased burst a blood vessel, and had been since of irregular habits, and some times apparently of unsound mind. He has left a wife and eight children. Verdict, " That deceased destroyed himself, but the state of his mind when he did so was not proved to the jury." FIRE AT A CHAPEL — About noon yesterday the Wesleyan Chapel in the City-road was discovered on fire. The chapel is a large one, and is situate opposite to the Bunhillr-ow burial-ground. Tho fire was caused by an escape of gas from a pipe in a closet containing the gas meter, beneath the gallery stairs. Though several engines soon arrived, it was not found necessary to use them, as the neighbours and firemen were able to extinguish the flames without mechanical aid. The damage done is trifling. ATTEMPT TO ROD THE YOUNG.—We are glad to perceive that the Town Council have had the good sense to prevent " the Session and Deacons' Court" of the St. Clement's Free Church from laying their unhallowed hands on the playground of the parish school. They want it to ornament their chapel, and truly it is much in need of something to set it ; but they should have looked to that before they put that ugly squat thing down in a place where its hideousness cannot be concealed. In these days, when the great object in all large towns is to get crowded places opened up, and provide more liberally for the out-door recreation of all ages, it is too bad to find a set of men, for a paltry selfish purpose, attempting to curtail the limited space devoted to the enjoyment of the young. In this, as in many other instances, the Non-Intrusion idea of freedom seems to be, the liberty of making free, very improperly, with what belongs to others.—Aberdeen Herald. LOWESTOFT, SEPT. 20.—We are happy to inform our readers that arrangements have just been concluded with a gentleman who is recently become . a large landed proprietor in this neighbourhood, for the purchase of the Lowestoft Navigation, with the ultimate intention of forming a railway from this town to the Reedhani station of the Yarmouth and Norwich line ; thereby setting aside the opposition which the proprietors of that pro perty would in all probability have given the measure. We sincerely trust that such a desirable project will be met by the gentlemen and landed proprietors through whose property it must pass in the spirit it deserves. The advantages such a ready communication with the metropolis and the midland counties will present to our town and the fishing interest connected therewith, are evident and incalculable , and cannot fail, we think, to be appreciated and furthered in every possible way by the inhabitants of Lowestoft.—Sifibik Chronicle. HERRING - If isitiNG.—This enterprise has been closed at our port for the se ason, and tho boats, none of whi c h h av e been off this week , are being hauled up, and with the gear stowed away in places of safety.—Noith San de, land.—Our fishing, the latter end of last week, was good—the highest boat had twenty trans. This week, up to Thursday, it has fallen off—highest boat twelve crans. There is a ready demand for herrings at 14s. and 15s. per cram—Berwick Advertiser. Slit ROBERT AND LADY SALE.—The gallant General and his heroic lady are expected in Liverpool next week, on their return from Ireland; and on Thurs day next our worthy chief magistrate will entertain the distinguished officer at a grand dinner at the Town-hall, a select party being invited to meet him on the occasion; on the following day, the general and his lady, we be lieve, will be the guests of his worship at Elms-wood. Invitations to the dinner on Thursday evening have al ready been forwarded to Lord Stanley, Earl Sefton, Lord Francis Egerton, J. Wilson Patten, Esq., M.P., Edward Mitchell, and Major Pottinger, of the 6th Regiment of Foot, now in Chester, both of whom have served in India with Sir Robert.—. Liverpool Mercury. ANNUITIES.

CHAMBERS'S JOURNAL.—No. 22 of the New Series contains an article entitled " Persecution of New Ideas," which the Editors deliberately print as an extract " From. a Private Pamphlet,"word for word it is taken from Dr. Dickenson's Fal lacies of the Faculty !—ln a subsequent Number (36) appears another article headed "What to do in cases of accident—Bloodletting." Every argument adduced in that article against the operation in such cases, is borrowed without acknowledgment from the same work. The principal object of that work is the exposition of the periodicity of all vital phenomena, which Dr. Dickenson claims as his discovery. It forms the basis of the cbronothernial system of medicine, of which he is the founder. Messrs. Chambers, to whom the Fallacies of the Faculty was sAbmitted two years ago, with a view to the publica tion of a People's Edition, know this—yet, in an article published in their last Saturday's Journal (No. 38), headed " Periodicity of Vital Phenomena," not only do they never name Dr. Dickenson, but abso lutely go out of their way to repeat an attempt of certain Medical Journals to give the merit of his discovery to an obscure physician of the name of Lay-cock, who impudently plagiarised it I How that plagiarism was exposed, the facts and dates by which the discovery was substantiated, Messrs. Chambers know as well as any man liv ing. The controversy is in the pages of the Medical Times, the edi tors of which emphatically declare that Dr. Dickenson long preceded Dr. Laycock ; and they may also see it in the copy of the Fallacies of the Faculty sent to them on the appearance of their extract " From a Private Pamphlet."

THE POOR SHIRTMAKERS OF LIVERPOOL. On Monday last a poor woman, who obtains a scanty livelihood by making shirts for the largest retail establishments in the town, and who appeared to be in the most abject state of poverty, summoned her employers to the Court of Requests for the sum of ten shillings, the amount of her bill for making shirts. The proprietors of the establishment were represented by a very pompous, genteelly-dressed young man, who fills the important situation of superintendent of the shirt department." In a manner the most affected, he said the defendants dis puted the bill on the ground that the shirts were badly made, and that they had to pay fourpence each to another person to remake and alter them. " Con sidering," continued he, in the same pompous man ner, "the circumstances of life in which Mrs. is placed, we would willingly hare forgiven her the fourpence each shirt, but one of the shirts had been completely spoiled, by the skirt being put in wrong, and we offered to pay her the amount, deducting the price of two yards of linen, to supply the part spoiled." The poor woman said he had of fered to make the shirt good if they would allow her to have it. The overlooker of the shirt department said, " Oh, it involves a very serious principle, and it will never do, as we employ so many persons." The shirt was brought into court, and handed up to the Learned Commissioner, who, " with spectacles on nose," minutely examined every part, to see if he could discover any defect. After a long inspection the Commissioner asked the overlooker what sum the poor woman was paid for making each shirt, seeing that they wished to deduct fourpence for the altera tion ? The overlooker was silent upon this subject ; but in the course of the examination it came out, from some of the party, that the extraordinary sum of two shillinps and eightpence per dozen was paid for making plain shirts, or a fraction more than twopence halfpenny per shirt ! Whether the shirts in question were plain or not did not transpire. The Learned Commissioner, taking all things into consideration, ordered that the poor half-starved creature should be paid 7s. 6d. and her costs. The proprietors of the extensive establishment have thus been compelled to pay about the sum demanded, whilst the poor shri velled and worn-out shirtmaker was left minus 2s. 6d. of her hard• earned wages.—Liverpool Mercury. Ladies travelling, or temporarily subjected to any deviation of equable temperature, will find i n 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 sallownes s, 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. Its universally great de mand excites the cupidity of unprincipled shopkeepers, who give the title of "Genuine" Kalydor to some com pounds of their own manufacture, of the most deleterious character, containing mineral astringents utterly ruinous to the complexion, and by their repellant action endanger ing health. It is, therefore, imperative on purchasers to see that the words " Rowland's Kalydor" are on the wrapper. All others are fraudulent counterfeits !! I DVERTISEMENT.] THE TURN OF LIFE I—CURE EXTRAORDINARY BY HOLLOWAY'S PILLs.—A respectable woman, aged 47, named Graham, residing in Scotland-road, Liverpool, was in the most critical and dangerous state for nine ' months, being sometimes almost choked with phlegm, with shortness of breath, palpitation of the heart, toge ther with a general derangement and debility of the whole system. Her life was in the greatest danger when she commenced the use of these miraculous pills, which restored her to the highest state of health in five weeks. They are the finest medicine in the world for females of all ages.

SPEEDY PROMOTION.—Few officers (says the Courrier Francais) have within the last fifty years had so rapid a promotion as Marshal Bugeaud. In 1830 he was a colonel of infantry ; on the 2d of April, 1831, he was made a major-general ; on the 2d of August, 1836, a lieutenant-general ; in 1840, Governor-General of Algeria ; in 1843, Marshal of France ; and now, in 1844, is created Duke of Isly. He is also Grand Officer 1 of the Legion of Honour. THURSDAY. The Queen's Plate of 100 guineas; for three yrs old, 9st 21b; four, lOst 71b; five, list; six and aged, I Ist 41b. R.C.

We learn, with much satisfaction, that the Direc tors of the Edinburgh and Glasgow Railway have unanimously resolved to recommend to their Pro prietors to subscribe 100,0001. to the stock of this line —thus completing the Parliamentary requirements. We have not the least doubt that the step will prove prudent and profitable. The preliminary operations are proceeding with great vigour, and further investigation only confirms the views of the promoters as to the certainty of a large local traffic. The certainty of an Act being applied for to autho rise the formation of a direct line of railway from London to York, affects the prospects of several undertakings now before the public, but none more so than the relative positions of the Caledonian, and Glasgow, Dumfries, and Carlisle lines. The Caledonian is chiefly entitled to consideration, as offering a short though steep access (by means of its two forks) both to Edinburgh and Glasgow, whilst the latter, the Dumfries line, though exclusively one to Glasgow and the north, by passing through lower and more populous districts of the west of Scotland affords greater local accommodation, and connects more important towns with both its termini. If the Caledonian were deprived of its Edinburgh trade, it would cease to have any substantial set-off against the admitted advantages offered by its rival. Ac cordingly, we observe that in the late report to the shareholders of the Caledonian, the Provi sional Committee take pains to remove the very_ ge neral impression on the public mind that the North British Railway between Edinburgh and Berwick, when connected, as it will next year be, with New castle and the north-east of England lines, must carry all the English traffic from and to Edinburgh. They endeavour to contravert this position by pointing out that although Berwick is 57 miles distant from Edinburgh, it is only 14 miles to the southward of it. If, however, the direct London and York line be made, as shown in the prospectus of that under taking the distance from Edinburgh to London, by the North British Railway, would le twenty miles shorter than by the Caledonian ; and if the proposed Leeds and Thirsk line be made, the com munication between Edinburgh and the north-west of England, by the North British Railway, would be also greatly shortened. All this will tell powerfully in favour of the Glasgow, Dumfries, and Carlisle line. —Railway Record. THE HUNGERFORD-BRIDGE RAILWAY.—The Direc tors of the London and South-Western Rcilway have announced that they intend to recommend to their shareholders to make the extension line to Hun gerford-bridge themselves.

LITERATURE. MULLER'S SCIENTIFIC MYTHOLOGY. Longman, London, 1844. scientific system of mythology is a work that has long been popular on the Continent from the vast extent of its research, the force of its reasoning, and the ingenuity of its speculations. The present translation of it is from the pen of a gentleman named Schell, who has accomplished a difficult—and in less able hands an impracticable—task with great success. His style is remarkable for its clearness and simpli city, and throughout his version he adheres with com mendable fidelity to the original text. Such a trans lation was much wanted, for there are numerous clas sical scholars among us who are wholly unacquainted with the German language ; and by these Muller's Mythology—which we understand is looked on as his chef d'(xuere—will be regarded as a great addition to their intellectual stores. The work, which is one of the profoundest character and goes deep into the heart of its subject, is divided into distinct chapters, each of which works out one of the author's theories. THE ANTI-ABSURD, OR PHRENOTYPIC ALPHABET AND ORTHOGRAPHY. By Major Beniowshi. Whatever opinions may be formed of the author's success in devising a remedy for the acknowledged ab surdities of English orthography, the paramount im portance of the subject entitles his attempt to praise, and his plan itself, at least, to a candid consideration. But a bold design, however simple, and even promis ing, which proposes a wide and sudden departure from established error, is sure to be rejected on the first instance by the majority of the learned as absurd and impracticable. The author, therefore, may expect to undergo this immediate and peremptory judgment, and to find in it his greatest, if not insuperable, diffi culty. It is indeed a startling enterprise to change all at once the orthography of our old and copious language, and to introduce several new characters into its alphabet. The author endeavours, and with much ingenuity and force of argument, to demon strate, that to effect all this is very, very easy ; yet it is much easier to show that our present system is not only erroneous and inconvenient, but absolutely and extensively mischievous. His demonstations on this part of his subject are complete, and his argu ments unanswerable. His proposed cure of the evils which he demonstrates will be considered far more questionable. It will be conceded to him that our imperfect alphabet and irregular orthography not only cause the greatest difficulties to foreigners in learning English—a language, in all other respects one of the easiest in the world—but mainly serve to exclude a deplorably large portion of our people from the benefit and blessings of an ability to read their own language. Major Beniowski dwells with great force and much feeling upon the loss—the positive and grievous injury which the people of the Conti nent, and especially his own countrymen, sustain, in being shut out from participating in the enlighten ment of the only free literature on earth. He says:— " The English is the language of two of the most pow erful nations in the world. The information poured upon mankind by English speakers and writers, surpasses in quality and quantity all that is given of the kind by the speakers and writers of the rest of the world taken toge ther. In England, and England only, we may hear the opinions of all parties, and thus have a fair chance of ar riving at truth, whilst on the Continent we meet with nothing but statements dictated by parties in power : this, particularly, takes place in religious and political matters. All these things are well known to foreigners as to Englishmen ;—foreigners in all quarters of the globe are perfectly convinced that they have an im mensity of information to get from the English press, but they cannot generally afford to study the English language on account of its difficul ties—difficulties not inherent in the language it self—no—but in its reading. If it were not fur that reading, the study of the English would be easier than that of au) , other, because the grammatical inflec tions, and syntactical rules, are a mere nothing in com parison with the same items of other languages ; and particulary must the English language be easy for the literati of Europe, who are very seldom ignorant of the Latin and German, or French and German ; there being but very few words in the English which are not to be found in the above languages. Still, with all these faci lities, very few foreigners out of England venture to study her language, and out of them, only one of ten succeeds ; all this owing to the intricate and contradic tory rules of reading. Thus thousands—millions—na tions of men anxious to read the good cheap pages of England, must not do so ; the contemptible pigmy, the Alphabet, has put his veto." The author attributes the fact that the English are the worst linguists in Europe to the same cause, and the French, the next to them in that unfavourable distinction, to a similar defect in their written lan guage, whilst he asserts that the well-known supe riority of the Russians and Poles in their power of ac quiring the languages of other nations is entirely owing to the excellence of their own alphabets, and the correctness of their orthography. Very many who may agree with him in all this will be slow to admit the practicability or the infallibility of his re medy; although it is his own opinion, supported (it appears) by experiment, that " persons entirely igno rant of reading and writing may become readers and writers in a fortnight," and that, after they have reached these attainments, in books printed in his or thography, they will in one day be enabled to read according to the existing orthography—a large pro mise, and full of incalculable good. Let us not hastily prejudge the event; for the books upon his plan are in print. The experiment has commenced, and the author's energy is a guarantee that the undertaking will not fail for want of an ample trial. It may be observed that no new types whatever are used in the Major's books, and that the principal innovations are th e omission of all or nearly all silent letters, and the employment of inverted letters to signify the varied sounds of the vowels, each vowel being used only for its primary sound, or that of its name in the alphabet. The manner in which these changes are effected do not seem to add very much to the diffi culties of etymology, which has been hitherto re garded as the greatest objection to spelling according to sound. To these observations we will on l y add, - that to render the art of reading universally easy would be of immense advantage in the education of the people, and that every well-directed attempt to ao so is worthy of the most earnest eneouragement. BRITISH ASSOCIATION FOR THE ADVANCEMENT OF SCIENCE. This great Association will commence its sittings in York (the city of its birth), on Wednesday next. Great preparations have been made for its meetings, and for the accommodation of its numerous mem bers, who are expected to be present. The first meeting will be held at one o'clock on Wed nesday, in the Guildhall, for the purpose o arranging preliminaries. On Thursday the va rious sections commence their meeting ; the mornings being occupied by the reading of papers on scientific subjects, and followed by discus sions thereon. By examining the journal, which will be published each morning, persons may select the subjects in the several sections which most interest them, and arrange their attendance accord ingly. The evening meetings are of a more popular character, and at these the whole body of the Association, including, of course, the lady subscri bers, are expected to assemble. On Thursday, the 25th, the Earl of Rosse resigns the P residential chair to the Very Rev. the Dean of Ely, from whose able pen an address on the state and prospects of the Asso ciation is expected. On Friday evening, it is under stood that Mr. Lyell will explain some of the singular facts connected with the geology of North America, and especially the area of the coal-fields of the United States, and the recession of the Falls of Niagara, with which his late travels have made him familiar. Large diagrams will render this discourse of popular and general, as well as of pecu liarly geological interest. On Saturda i y se e u v t e rh n see ing )inv , a t t k e e A ssem bly and Concert Rooms will be opened for a genera l conversazione, preceded by a d enorm ous fossil tortoise ( 20 feet long) of e Hills, by its discoverer, Dr. Falconer. On Monday evening, a ball and concert, arranged in honour of the meeting, \NM probably attract many of the visitors; on Tuesday, recurs a general soiree ; and on 'Wednesday evening the last general meeting is held, and some of the results of the sitting are made known, before the members separate. Among the masters of natural knowledge who are expected to honour the York meeit)iig, of with ng Giessen the ; ir presence, we may enumerate me Dr. Lamont, of Munich ; Otto, of Bresl au; I\l. d e V erneu il, of Paris ; Signor Matteuci, of Modena ; Professor henry Rodgers and Professor William Rodgers, of Philadelphia ; Sir David Brewster, Professor James Forbes, and Pro fessor Johnson, who were the first party that arrived in York in 1831, to form the Associa tion. Sir Thomas 13risbane, the Earl of II sse, Sir William Hamilton, the Earl of Enniskillen, Sir Philip De Grey Egerton, Dr. Buckland, Dr. Daubeny, Rev.

Sabine, Professor Graham, Dr. Hodgkin, M. Schomburgh,Rev. Dr. Robinson, Professor E. Forbes, Dr. Falconer, Mr. Lyell, Mr. Murchison, &c. It is stated, as probable, that the hospitalities of Wentworth House will, on this occasion, be transferred to York, and that Earl Fitzwilliam will, as President of the Yorkshire Philosophical Society, entertain a very large party of the visitors at dinner in the De Grey Rooms, on Friday. It is also expected that the Archbishop, and (if his health be sufficiently established) the Lord Mayor, will contribute to the hospitalities of the oc casion. Most of the halls, schools, and other public establishments in York, have been set apart for the meetings of the Association,—Leeds Times. ; 7 i • REVELATIONS OF LONDON. By W.
