Th e attent i on of the Public is requested to the following (among other) proof s of the efficacy of MORISON'S MEDICINE : _ :MEDICO SURGICAL ASSASSINATION. A glorious triumphant trophy for the Medical Schools and G THE LATE DUC azettes .DE REICHSTADT. (Post Mortem Report.) The body of the deceased Duc de Reichstadt was exa mined by the physicians on the 25th of July, at the Palace of Schcsnbrun. Th e f o llowi ng are th e chief remarkable appearances which presented themselves at th e exam i na ti on of I t• The external surface of the body was mark e d by lid patch es , resu l t i ng f rom th e numerous bi tes o f t h e eeches which were applied. The skin on the chest and the surface of the scalp was in a state of vesication, in con sequence of the use, shortly before death, of the tartar emetic ointment, and on each arm were the marks of blis tering Plasters. On opening the skull, the physicians found the dura mater unusually i thickened, and adhering to the arachnoid by strong fibrous bands; the pia mater wa s exceedi ng l y vascu l ar , an d th e su b s t a nce of the hernia- Pherea app eare d as t h oug h t h ey h a d b een compresse d.

The most rem a rkabl e app e aranc e s wer e those in the cav i ty o f t h e thorax. The r i ght lung was adherent to the lining of the ribs, and was converted into a . tna . ss of tubercles carcinomatous in their nature, and Yielding a fluid of an extremely fetid odour. At the superio r part of the left lung was observed a tubercle in the stage of suppuration ; the remaining portion was healthy. The thymus gland was considerably larger than it is almost ever found in persons of the age of the Duke, and was converted into a hard state, resembling cartilage. The internal surface of the larynx was corroded in some parts. The liver was found enlarged, but, in other re spects, was in its natural condition : the gall bladder was unusually small, the pancreas healthy, but the spine un usu illy large and soft. The stomach was remarkably small, but in a natural state. The mesenteric glands were much larger and more granulated than usual. No other remarkable appearance was observed in the abdo minal or cervic cavities, except that the left kidney was larger than is generally found to be in such subjects.-- French Paper. TO MR.

TO BE SOLD BY PUBLIC ROUP, Within the Royal Exchange Coffee-house, Edinburgh, on WEDNESDAY, the 10th day of October next, at One o'clock in the afternoon, rUHE ESTATE of GARGUNNOCK, 1- five miles west of the tow❑ of Stirling, containing nearly 1,900 imperial acres, of which about 500 are of a rich clay soil, about 600 dry-field, and the remainder sound hill pasture. The Lands are inclosed and subdivided, and there are substantial and suitable onsteads to the different farms, also a Corn Mill, and thriving Distillery. The MANSION HOUSE, which is partly modern, is large and commodious, to which is attached a complete court of offices, as well as farm offices; the Garden is sur rounded with a wall, and stocked with fruit trees and bushes, with Hot-house and Conservatory. The Cess has been redeemed, the Teinds of the Parish are exhausted, and the burdens are very trifling. There is a great deal of valuable old Timber on the Estate, as well as thriving Plantations of Coppice, &c., and the Lands abound with Game. Viewed as an investment of capital, such an Estate is seldom in the market. The dry fie:d lands are sm,ceptib:e of great improvement, at a small expense, which would yield a liberal return. The Mansion House is situated on a slight eminence, in the centre of a pretty extensive lawn, which is ornamented with beautiful full grown trees, with clumps and belts of planting along the boundaries, from which Stirling Castle, the Vale of Forth, and the interesting and romantic scenery of the West Highlands of Perthshire are seen in the distance. Farther informatio❑ may be obtained by applying to Messrs. Green, Pemberton, Crawley, and Gardiner, soli citors, 46, Salisbury-square, London ; Mr. George Innes Ure, W.

TO BE SOLD BY PUBLIC SALE, Within the Royal Exchange Coffee-room, Edinburgh, on FRIDAY, the 7th of September, 1832, if not previously disposed of by private bargain, 91 1 HE COPYRIGHT and GOODWILL of THE NEW NORTH BRITON Newspaper, published twice a week, on the mornings of Wednesday and Saturday. The NEW NORTH BRITON has now been established for nearly two years and a half. During that period the principles which it has advocated, whether on Parliamen tary or Local Reform, have been independent in the strict est sense of the term. On the former of these im rtant subjects, its sentiments have obtained the appro f, and regularly appeared in the columns, of the popular ~.ondon and Provincial Journals. In treating the latter topic, the NEW NORTH BRITON claims the regard of the citizens of Edinburgh, as the only Journal which has maintained an uncompromising warfare against local abuses, and as having, by its fearless exposure of these cor ruptions, tended to elicit pledges for the abolition or revi sal of the Annuity, Poor, and Impost Taxes, from all the candidates for the representation of the city. To the Public at large, the activity of management adopted by the conductors of the NEW NORTH BRI TON appe irs to have proved highly acceptable. By employing the system of second, third, fourth, or express editions, which has rendered the SUN Newspaper so justly celebrated, they have been enabled to give the earliest in telligence of general or local news of importance on the days of publication, and thus to maintain priority through. out the week. Hence the cash sales of this Journal are greater than those of any other published in Scotland. As the most recently established Newspaper in Edin burgh, the steady circulation of the NEW NORTH BRITON is extensive, and may be widely increased. I❑ the latest Parliamentary returns, the average of stamps issued on its account were stated at 745, or 1,490 weekly. This, though a high number, was then under the real amount, supplies of stamps on frequent emergencies having been purchased from contemporaries, whose apparent sale was thus augmented at the expense of the present Journal. This circulation a circumstance which best proves the accuracy of these statements has continued gradually to increase, so that the aver!ge of each publication now amounts to nearly 800 copies. While these facts may be fairly assumed as establishing the literary estimation of the Paper, they show that, as a medium for advertisements, the NEW NORTH BRITON already surpasses many older contemporaries. This supe riority consists both in extensive circulation, and especially in the character of its readers, who are chiefly intelligent citizens, householders, and men of business. For farther particulars apply to John McCracken, Soli citor, 11, Duncan Street, Edinburgh. Edinburgh, August 24, 1832. VALUABLE MEDICINES, (Adapted for the present period.)

GARNETT'S PURE BALSAM OF CAPIVI PILLS THESE PILLS consist of the pure Capivi Balsam in a con%olidated state, and contain all its volatile and active principles, which are totally destroyed by every other mode of preparing it. The efficacy of this Balsam in sexual diseases of the urinary passages has been long known, and its superiority above all other medicines generally admitted. Hitherto the impossibility of admi nistering it in pills and in a palatable form, or without disagreeing with the stomach, has deterred many from its use, as well as led to the employment of various substitutes of much less efficacy. The Pills now recommended have been employed in many thousand cases with uniform suc cess ; and in a large proportion of these caws, after all other remedies had failed, particularly the spurious imita tion called Balsamic Pills. In gonorrhoea, gleets, strictures, weakness, pains of the loins, irritation of the urethra, and gravel, in fluor albus, or whites, and in cases of debility, these Pills will remove the disease in a few days, as well as chronic affections of the urinary bladder and kidneys, especially those accom panied by mucous and purulent secretions i❑ the urine. In all diseases in which this Bilsam has been prescribed by physicians and surgeons, these Pills will be found be neficial ; and the more especially as they are the most effi cacious and most agreeable mode of administering this valuable medicine.

SUMMER ASSIZES. NORTHERN CIRCUIT, LANCASTER, Auc. 25. REX Y. DOHERTY. This was a crimiyal information at the suit of the Rev. Martin Gilpin, against the defendant for a libel. Mr. J. WlLLrams stated the case. The prosecutor was a clergyman. He was the son of Major Gilpin, long resident and well known in the county, and was at pre sent the perpetual curate or incumbent of the church of St. Thomas, in Stockport. It appeared, (or rather he ought to say, " it would seeni" for he only knew it from the publication before him)—it would seem, then, that some time ago an interment had taken place in that church, in which it had been found that the coffin was empty, and that the corpse had been taken away. It would seem, also, on the same authority, that some time before the circumstance just adverted to, at the funeral of another person, an Irishman, which bad taken place at the same church, the coffin had been found to contain a quantity of sand, and the corpse, which had been removed out of the coffin, had been discovered in a very disfigured state on the table of some dissecting-room. Now it was a fart, which the Jury would find not immaterial, that a near relative of the prosecutor (a brother-in law, be believed) was a medical man, and they would find that to a desire to serve that relative the con duct charged upon the prosecutor in the libel was referred.—(Mr. Williams here read the libel, which was contained in a penny publication, published by the defen dant, and called the Poor Man's Advocate. The article was of considerable length, and in substance stated, that a person of the name of Perry having been interred in the church-yard of St. Thomas, St oc k port, hi s w id ow was in the habit of repairing to the spot to shed her tears over his grave ; that the sexton at lenoh informed her that she was mourning over a spot where her husband's remains were not, for that his body had been removed, and that Mr. Gilpin knew it i that tlin widow in a transport of grief, and indignation had proclaimed the story, and that upon examining the grave the coffin was found to be empty : that suspicion bad at first fallen upon the sexton, but that he had declared that the body had been remove 4. with the knowledge of Mr. Gilpo, who had watfted4 . ti , swear him (the sexton) to 'secrecy, but ft trd''' re fused ; and it was added, !that the slut cion"tliii. transferred to Mr. Gilpin was considerably strengthener by the recollection of an occurrence that had` taken place two years ago, when, at the funeral of an Irishman at the same church, the mourners, perceiving sand to drop from the coffin, had caused it to be opened at the church porch, and then discovered that it was filled with sand, and that, compelling Mr. Gilpin to accompany them ie search of the body, they had at length discovered it in a mutilated state in the dissecting -room of Mr. Gilpin', relation.) It was his duty to present to them another ex tract from a paper, published some time after the first, in which the same subject and tone were continued. It ran thus : 1 " Jesus and G—lp--n, so, tis said, " Both, in their turn, have raised the dead; " The former broke the bonds of death, " The latter raised them without breath ; " One gave them back to light and life, " The other to the surgeon's knife." After this, was he (Mr. Williams) not justified in saying that the prosecutor had been compelled to place his cha racter in the hands of the Jury, who would by their ver dict do him justice. James Turner hought a copy of the Poor Man's Advo cate in Whitby-lane, Manchester, at the shop of defendant. Witness had no doubt that the prosecutor was the person alluded to in the publication. Another witness bad purchased the second publication, in which the lines appeared, at the shop of defendant, and from defendant himself. The defendant then addressed the Jury in a speech o . great length, and, in some parts, of considerable ability. After which, the Jury returned a verdict of Guilty. DEATH of the REV. DR. ADAM CLARKE (From the Christian Advocate.) This melancholy and unexpected event occurred at a quarter past 11 o'clock on Sunday night, and was occasioned by the mysterious . disease to which so many of all classes have already fallen a sacrifice. The venerable Doctor was expected to preach at Bays water on Sunday morning, and, as usual, a large con gregation was assembled to hear him ;but while they were lost in conjectures as to the cause of their dis appointment, intelligence arrived that he had been suddenly taken ill, and was not expected to survive the attack. Mr. Thurston, of Catherine -street, Strand, who had been long favoured with the Doc tor's friendship, had gone to Bayswater expecting to hear him, and, on learning that he was seized with choler►, immediately went to Mr. Hobbs's house, in Bayswater, where Dr. Clarke was stay ing, and remained with him till nearly noon, when he started in a chaise to Heydon-hall, the Doctor's own residence, for Mrs. Clarke, who returned with him about half-past 5, and found her distinguished husband breathing with great difficulty. The Doc tor had been relaxed as to his bowels for a week past, and was attacked with alarming symptoms about six o'clock on Sunday morning, when he de sired Mr. Hobbs's servant to call her master, who immediately obeyed the summons. On returning to bed, he told slr. Hobbs that " he thought be should die," on which that gentleman recommended him to put his trust in his Saviour; the Doctor replied, that lie had done so already. All that could be done by the united skill and exertions of the medical gentlemen in attendance was effected, but without affording any prospect of recovery. The Doctor said very little, being greatly exhausted. Indeed, he was at times insensible, as was evinced by his occasional questions and observations, such as, " What do the doctors think of me ?" " Have they bled me ?" " Rub my legs." His sons, Theodore and John, and his daughter, together with his afflicted wife, were present at his death. Dr. Clarke's remains are to be interred at the City-road Chapel to-morrow (this day) at 12 o'clock. Dr. Clarke was born in Ireland, but his father, a mar, of great learning, was an Englishman, and his mother a native of Scotland. His birth took place near Magherafelt, in the county of Londonderry, in 1763. He took early a serious turn, and his boy hood was passed in acquiring the rudiments of a classical education, and in attending to the concerns of his father's farm. He was afterwards placed with Mr. Bennet, a large linen manufacturer ; but, taking a dislike to the business, he left that gentle man. He was brought, by letter, under the notice of the Rev. John Wesley, and became a pupil of that great man's school at Kingswood. He had not long been there, where he displayed considerable talents and great aptitude in the acquisition of the dead languages, when Mr. Wesley intimated to him his intention to send him out as one of his itinerant preachers. Accordingly, in 1782, he commenced his labours in that character, and, though but 18 years of age, acquitted himself to the satisfaction of Mr. Wesley, a competent judge. In 1831, the Methodist Conference made him a supernumerary, not only, as we understand, without his knowledge or consent, but also, as it afterwards appeared, much against his wish. During this period—a period which would have been half a century had it ex tended to the present time—he travelled in most parts of England and Ireland. At three several conferences he occupied the President's chair, and retained to the last . a popularity which the word po pularity is not fitted to describe, for he constantly enjoyed the mingled veneration, admiration, and affection of both ministers and laymen of his own denomination. In 1805, his acquirements obtained for him the honorary degree of which was followed in 1806, by that of D.D., and subsequently by his election as a Member of the Royal Irish Academy. Of late years he had lived in compara tive retirement, but took great interest in the pro gress of Christianity, especially in the Shetland Isles, where he was instrumental in establishing a Wesleyan Mission, which he continued to foster with great care. The barometer has, within these few days, made an extraordinary rapid fall, being now lower than it has been at any period since February. NOT DEAD YET.—A narrow escape from being buried alive occurred last week at Llanelly. A man, who it was supposed had died from cholera morbus, and who exhibited almost unequivocal signs of death, was re gularly laid out by his friends for interment, when sud denly the suspected deceased person arose from amidst h:s death-like habiliments, coffin, &c., aed, after staring about in silent wonderment at the oddity of his situation, he bolted out of tLe house stark naked, and made off as quick as he could, exclaiming as loud as be was able, "I am not dead yet," to the no small terror of the people, who had assembled to pay their last duties to their friend. —Carmarthen Journal. An extraordinary case of suicide occurred on Sunday in Baltic -street, St. Luke's. A woman, named DIARY Comas, a respectable shopkeeper, hung herself. Preparatory to the dreadful act it appears she left a letter, in which she expresses a wish to be buried in the apparel she hung herself in, a pair of trousers, &c. A letter also, enclosing her will, was found thrust between her neck and the cord, and several letters relating to her family and connexions, which appear to have been written only a few hours before her death. Frotn one of the letters it appears she met at Camberwell fair, a few days ago, a gentleman, who, having obtruded himself on her notice, and after wards made a strong impression on her mind, promised to see her again ; but in consequence of not doing so, it is supposed she was induced to commit suicide, although she had a'husband residing in New South Wales. So deter mined was she to put an end to her existence, that she had tied a 141 b., a 71b., and a 31b. weight to her person, for the purpose of accelerating her death. A key was also found attached to the cord, which opened a drawer, in which was the sum of 71. 10s. for her landlord, and in another drawer was also 10s. in a tea-cup, and a gold watch. (PRICE 7D.) ON VOTING BY BALLOT. The attempts made by candidates and their ,friends to intimidate electors, have brought this subject again under discussion, and opinions in favour of the ballot have been strongly expressed , - :by some of our contemporaries. The evil com plained of is, that by open polling, electors " are exposed to the hardship of injuring themselves in their interests, or to the crime of offering up their conscience a sacrifice to their interests." Tenants in farms and shopkeepers are the chief victims of this intimidation, and it is expected that the ballot will afford them complete protection. The question is not of easy solution ; but the grand difficulty attending it appears to us not to have been generally perceived. It is assumed, that if candidates and their friends cannot dis cover how electors vote, there will be no can vassing, and no exacting of pledges by grew landlords and wealthy customers, from their de pendents, to support particular interests. We doubt this extremely. Although open voting were abolished, pledges of suppo r t wo u ld still 1) - (. 1 exacted by the dominant from the dependent party ; and if they were, the only boon which the ballot would confer on the elector, would be the privilege of playing false with his own honour and conscience, by first giving a promise (extorted although it be by fear), and then breaking it, be cause only God and himself can know that he does so. This is no enviable privilege ; and yet it ap pears to us at present to be all, or nearly all, thw the ballot could confer. In the great majority of instances, the man who gives a solemn pro mise, although extorted by dread of patrimonial loss, will redeem it, notwithstanding of the ballot ; because he would feel less degraded in surren dering, by compulsion, his freedom at the shrine of his interest, than in staining his soul with falsehood. To promise, under the influence of fear, to support a cause of which we disapprove, is to put our necks under the yoke :—To break that promise secretly, is not to achieve inde pendence, but to add meanness to subjection, which last may be involuntary, and therefore not disgraceful. All success in private life, all valuable public institutions, and all substantial improvement in the condition of the community, require intelligence, strong attachment to moral rectitude, and a bold independent spirit, in indi viduals, as their basis. The importance of Parliamentary Reform, according to our judg ment, consists chiefly in its tendency to produce these qualities in the people, and to improve their character as moral and intellectual beings. —Let us beware, therefore, of rashly re sorting to a practice which would tend to cultivate dishonest purpose and cowardly feeling in electors. If any class of voters be placed incirsumstances really depen dent, they canre rendered free, while these continue, by a screen which would shield only their hands, but not their minds, from the in fluence of their oppressors. If they are not truly dependent, but only, through timidity or a slavish spirit, think themselves to be so, we recommend that moral means exclusively should be used to elevate their condition. If we pro duce in the minds of this class of electors a clear perception of the merits of the cause which they ought to support ; a firm reliance on the power of right to maintain itself; and a bold energy of moral resolve ; the feeling of dependence will vanish ; and with thefeeling the reality will dis appear. The danger to the interests of the humblest individual from acting according to his conscience, is much less than is generally ima gined. It is positively immoral in a rich pro. prietor to force a poor man to vote against his conviction—it is persecution in its worst form— it is essentially a demand that he shall surrender what is dearer than his birthright, his purity of mind and consciousness of rectitude, for a mess of pottage. The practice is so revolt ing to every honourable feeling, that it can not become general. Pusillanimity in the elec tor invites big talking and loud threatening in hot-headed and furious canvassing politi cal agents ; but the great bulk of the commu nity consists of honest and virtuous men, who are incapable of punishing voters for maintaining their independence. It is our belief, therefore, that the great majority, even of the Tories, are incapable of acting so unjust and so injurious a part. Most of them would disdain to use a threat ; some who would use it, would shrink from carrying it into effect ; and only the basest, and therefore the least respectable and:influential, would actually put it in practise. For these rea sons we consider the common estimate of the danger to which dependent voters are exposed, to be considerably exaggerated. Besides, if one political party abandon a shop keeper or tradesman on account of his principles, the public announcement of this fact will, ac cording to the nature of things, bring to him, if a conscientious and respectable person, ample compensation in an accession of new customers, prompted by the love of justice to redress the injury which he has sustained. The names of political tyrants, also, who attempt to deprive humble electors of their freedom, ought to be published, and such an exposure would bring down upon the oppressors a storm of public in. dignation that would speedily arrest their unhal lowed exercise of power. Experience proves that an imperfect convic tion of the inherent strength of right, and feeble ness of moral resolve, are the grand defects in electors who feel dependent. In every county there are tenants, and in every town shopkeepers, who openly and actively advocate the cause, be it Whig or Tory, which they prefer; and such of them as we have conversed with, assure us that their patrimonial interests have not suffered by their independence. We have heard of no well authenticated instances of respectable tenants being actually ejected, or honest shopkeepers ruined in consequence of their political opinions. We have been told by staunch Reformers, who live by keeping shops, that at first, intimidation was tried with them ; but that from the moment when a firm conscientious resolve was announced on their parts, it ceased to be applied ; and it some customers actually left them on account of their principles, new friends were attracted by the same cause, who afforded them a compen sating support. We have heard landlords also declare, in serious earnest, that in these times a good tenant is too valuable an acquisition to be parted with, on account of difference in political sentiments; and that the men of character and skill among the tenants, if they only knew their own position, might vote as independently as their landlords. Their independence exists; what wanted, is a conviction in their own minds, that it does so. They are much more afraid than oppressed. This, indeed, must be the case. would be au impeachment of human nature, if in a civilized community, with a free press, the humblest individuals could not exercise their constitutional privileges openly and honestly, but required a screen to hide them from the fice of Heaven when discharging the highest duty of freeborn subjects. The ballot would annihilate also the public responsibility which every man incurs who votes in support of a bad cause. It would bring the magnanimous and the coward to an equality. It would put an end to moral persuasion, which may be successfully applied to a voter who has erred at one election, so as to lead him to better views before the arrival of the next. In short, if ballot be at all necessary, it can be so only on account of the yet imperfect action of moral principle in the community at large ; and as its introduction would increase this weakness, we desire to see every honest means sedulously em ployed to protect electors, before it shall ha adopted as a last resource,—Scotsman. MEDICAL REFORNI—THE COLLEGE or SURGEONS. (Abridged from the Medical Gazette, ) We are told by Mr. Lemuel Gu►liver, of fa cetious memory, that when, in the course of his travels, he visited the Flying Island, he found his Majesty the King, and his principal cour tiers, so much abstracted by " intense specula tions," that passing events made no impression upon them, till their attention was recalled by an admonitory touch on the mouth from their at tendant " flappers." Now we begin to suspect that the Council of the loyal College of Sur geons are somewhat in the predicament of thou aforesaid Monoich of Laputa, and we respect fully offer our s'ervices to them in the capacity of flappers ; nothing doubting but that our ad monitions, which, like those of our prototypes, are well intended, will, like them, be well re ceived. It has been a thousand times surmised—now whispered as a secret, and now openly announced as matter for congratulation—that " something" was to be done to meet the general wish. What this something was, no one, indeed, exactly knew : perhaps the mode of election was to be altered—perhaps the accounts were to be pub lished annually—perhaps the library and museum were to be farther improved, and rendered worthy of a great national institution—in short, there might be difference of opinion as to Ivhat was intended, but every one agreed that " sonic thing" was positively to be done. Now all we know about the matter is, that if any change, in the way of improvement, or any act of graceful concession, be or ever were contemplated, it still 4 . remains unperformed—it still remains as one of those " intense speculations" described by our friend Gulliver as occupying the mind, without influencing the acts of the parties. Will the Council, then, not be warned ? Will they still disregard alike the advice of their friends and the threats of their enemies ? • Arc they so blind as to fancy that they are popular ? • It is notorious, that while personally most of them are esteemed as honourable men and skil ful surgeons, and while some of them hold,,the highest places in science and in practice, yet le very moment that they are contemplated collec tively, through the atmosphere of Lincoln's-Ina Fields, the whole becomes changed as in a phantasmagoria, and they assume the ungraci ous aspect of monopolists, hostile to liberal measures, and upholding an obnoxious system for their own proper and individual gain. Nay, even their neighbour, Mr. Professor Green, — who stepped forward some short time ago as a mediator, and whose distance from the council chamber is in every sense of the word so small, cannot look upon it through the short space that intervenes, without seeing around its inmates " descensive" and other bewildering " circles," till he becomes involved in the perplexing maze of " distinction without separation ;" and ail his proposed improvements are lost in the con fusion. The first point is this—the mode of election must be changed. It is felt as an anomaly and a ❑uisance ; every member looks upon it as a personal grievance, and, so long as it endures, there will be no cordiality between the Council and the general body of English surgeons—no bond of union—no mutual feeling, save mut ua l jealousy. We are not among those who find fault merely for the love of censure, or who raise the hackneyed cry of Reform, to make our journal sell ; but, looking dispassionately upon the subject, we have no difficulty in perceiving, and no hesitation in declaring, that the consti tution and management of the College of Sur geons is in several respects faulty, and that the Council do not set about their reformation ar they ought to do. It behoves them not to wait till they be driven—they ought to lead ; and we earnestly exhort them—if they would show that they prize their own best interests, or do what seems graceful in the eyes of others—to come forward, and that quickly too, with some plan of reformation. Again, we are told that no such change is necessary, because the system " works well :" now we shall not stay to inquire whether this po sition be true or not, but shall content ourselves with declaring, that the question is not whether the present mode leads to the choice of the best possible persons as the governing body, but whether the odium which attaches to the manner of election does not extend to those elected, whenever they are contemplated in their corpo rate capacity. If not co lectively, certainly many of them did individually, give reason to be lieve, that they contemplated some improve ments in their system. What has become of them ? Possibly we may be mistaken, but we think the college has much more to fear from making it the wish of all its members to undermine it, than in giving them a mutual interest in its support, We take leave, in conclusion, to recommend to the Council to carry into effect without delay, some of those " intense speculations " with which we doubt not they are occupied ;or if it really be, that by the nature of their charter, they cannot be so liberal as they would wish, let them re member that we shall soon have assembled at St. Stephen's a Reformed Parliament, consisting of Members returned by the suffrages of a much larger body of the people than have hitherto enjoyed the privilege of voting, and, it is to ly presumed, the friends of liberal measures. FATAL ERRATUM.-A printer's widow, in Germany, while a new edition of the Bible was printing at her house, one night took an opportunity of going ,nto the office, to alter that sentence of subjection to her hos. hand pronounced upon Eve in Genesis, chip. iii. ver. 16. ;he took out the two first letters of the we,rd Herr, and übstitutA Na in their place, thus altering the sentence from " and he sha I be thy lord" (Herr) to '6 an d h e - , h411 be thy fool" (Nary.). It is .aid her life paid for this ,ntentional erratum ; and that some secreted copies of this edition have been bought up at enormous prices. Curio skies of Literature.
