COPY of a LETTER from WILLIAM COURTNEY, Esq. To Mr. THOMAS PROCT, 229, Strand, London. Church Farm, Barton Stacey, near Andover Railway Station, Hants, October 26, 1a44. Sir,—l cannot help expressing my astonishment in the effect I have experienced in taking your Pills far the Gout. I was taken on Thurs day night so severely with it as to be with difficulty able to get oil. of my bed, and atter I arose I had severe pains, followed on with in flammation of the foot increasing. I took three of your Pills, and within two hours I found the pain to entirely cease. I afterwards took two Pills at a dose twice in the day, and I am, thank God, this morning able to walk without the slightest inconvenience.

" SOme few days ago. Captain Hogg', . burghers ar rived here, amounting to 500. and were encamped below :he great barrack, near the lower camp. For same days pa , t this town has been excited by reports of their insubordinatien. On the morning of the 25th, a part% or about 100 were ordered to escort waggons to Waterloo 13ay. At ten o'clock, the whole body of How's Burt; hers marched up in perfect order, which pack oxen, hag and baggage,' ai.d drew up in line before Major Smith's door, where they halted to have a conference with him, which lasted about twenty minutes. He was much excited, and left them, directing his course to the commandant's (Lieutenant-Colonel Richardson's) quar ters. In perfect order they marched across the parade, down Campbell street, across the stone bridge, and took the road to Graham's Town. Before their departure the alarm bugle blew; there was a general turn out of troops, I surpose about 70 to 100 men, with a small howitzer, under cominaud of Captain Ward, to endea vour to arrest her progress until the commandant's pleasure was known. When the burghers begin to ascend the hills, to arrest their progress Captain Ward ordered three different blank shots to be discharged from the howi , r.r, yet the burghers quietly and deli berately pursued their course, driving their pack oxen before them. At length orders .arrived for tIT3 troops to return to quarters, and is a few minutes our town woo tranquil. About tit-) hours of er the departure of the burghers the Rev. Messrs. Calderwood and B. aver started on a mission of remonstrance. They overtook the troops on this side of Leo Fontein. By p„-rsuasion and assurances they induced the body to return. greater part arrived here the same evening. Now they are with us quiet and orderly.

They will, in public meeting assembled, consider the propriety of applying to the House of Com mons for compensation for losses sustaini'd through the present Kafir war. Though Jar removed from the scene of deliberation, and not !laving before us the mournful proofs, the living statues of that long catalogue of be reavetnent and suffering, upon which this most just and fair cleitn will be based, still we can conceive what the suff,,r,rs will feel on the occasion. It will, no doubt, give them some consolation to know that the whole colony, without any exception, participate in their suf I rings, and that nothing will give greater satisfaction than the tull allowance of the compensation claimed. LATEST FRONTIER INTELLIGENCE. kFrom the Graham's Town Journal, Nov. 7.) WEDNESDAY.—lnturrnatton was given to the autho rities this afternoon, that Air• Herrington, of Port Frances, on crossing the flat to at Warty Plsats, had seen distinctly the spoor of nine Kafirs. and of a drove of about 80 head of cattle. Th e i m p ress i ons we re quite fresh, and must have been made a very short time before being discovered. The marauders were moving towards the Kap River Bush, and which' is a direct line for the extensive jungle of the Komi. Infortne.tion was received to-day which accounts for the spoor of the cattle and Kafirs, seen by Mr. Berring ton leading across the flat at Waay Pleats as above mentioned. These cattle had been taken by Kafirs from the farm of Mr. M'Luckie, near Lombard'. Post (not far from Theopolis). From the account just received it ap pea+ s that they were carried off about the middle of the day on Tuesday, by a strong party of Kafirs, and who seem to have taken their measures with considerable ad dress. Several armed Fingoes were out with the cattle at the time, and these state that the Kafirs divided theta selves into three parties; that one commenced firing upon them, while another drove away the cattle, and that a third posted themselves on a height as a reserve, ...etching the whole proceeding. After they had got clear off with the cattle they heard the marauders dancing and yelling in the'bush, a significant indication of confidence in their own strength and number, which, however, as the s e quel will show, they appear to have greatly miscalculated. It seems that on the information given by Mr. Berrington, a party of the new invy s tationed at Manley's Flat and Waay Masts, under the command of Captain O'Brien, immediately started ff in pursuit on the .poor, and succeeded in overtaking tie- thi* vt-s and their boil) near Sand Drift on the Fish River. The whole were quickly recovered. The marau d( rs on observing the force that was in chase of them in stantly- retiequthed thcir booty, and escaped into the bush, 1• wing behind them a calf, which they had just slaughtered for feud, and wnich was brought away by the victors. FRIDAT.—The following from the ceded territory came to hand to-day : On the 31st of October, Stock sent twenty head of cattle for those stolen at Newtondale (two or his men being now prisoners for that crime, on a charge of steal ing them from that post, when on their way to the go vernor's camp). Captain M•Lean refused to receive them, and ordered them back immediately, as the Go vernor requires the identical cattle stolen to be returned. On the 2d of November, Stock sent in nineteen head of cattle, three horses, at.d two guns, as the full rem nant of property taken from the colony by his tribe ! He stated that all his people are now at the Shunt, and wished to know in what light he is viewed by our Government. On the same day, Nov. 2, Jan Tzatzoe himself ar rived et Fort Peddle.

While this notion prevails among them, u sure and safe settlement will haruly be arrived at. This morning information came in, that an attempt was made yesttrday by Kafirs to curry off' the oxen, with a number of waggons, on their way from Mr. Dell's farm, west side of the Kowie, to Graham's Town. By the activity and determination of the drivers the maraud ers cattle rescued were, reu cdho. oe finewevarn,foed ox was,intheirattempt,and the however, stabbed in nine places with assegais, and so danger ously wounded that on its arrival in town it was immediately stlhaiusghortearierd: butOnewhich Kafir i s rests sai m d e t r o ely ha o v n e h the fact that one of the marauders w a s seen to fall back into the bush, as though struck by a ball then fir, d at him by one of the drivers named Brown, and who is considered a good shot.

SATURDAY. —The information from Block Drift re ceived last night is of a complexion which is well calcu. lated to allay much of that apprehension which had been occasioned by the recent conferences lately held with the Kafir chiefs in that n..ighbourhood. Nothing can be more reprehensible, in the preet , t :stage of our dis pute with these ipople, than consenting to parley with them. A rumour is prevalent in town, that his Excellency, at an interview granted at Block Drift to Sandilla, treated hint with great indifference, end after very feint words dismissed him with the assurance that unless 20,000 head of - cattle, 500 horses, and 1,800 guns, were brought in within 14 days, he should commence active' operations, and pursue him and his people into the country where they are now residing until they were driven across the Kei river. This offer of terms, under any circumstanc es , i s o bj ect i ona bl e, an d on l y serves t o excite hopes in the Kafir mind which never ought to find a place there. We have information from Lower Albady to-day, con• firmatory of previous accounts, that a considerable num bee of Kafiri; have entered th a t 'part of the.district. A patrol from F armer fi eld, on Thursday, d i scovere d t h at about 100 had bi vouac k ed the previous night on the farm, Spring G rove ( the junction of t h e Kareigis with th Bushman's River), f rom w hi c h p l ace th e y h a d vile (.ff in three parties. There can be little doubt but that it was some of these marauders who carried of M'Luckie's cattle, and subsequently attacked the oxei. of the forage waggons on their way from Dell's Farm. ... . We have a vague r.-port also, that a patrol under the Field Cornet Buchner. of Oliphant's Hoek, have also fallen in with these Kafirs, and that two of them were shot in a skirmish which ensued between the parties. TO TH Ali.l7'o ROI 7 THE SUN. SlR,—The recent conduct of the directors of the Greenwich Railway Company has given rise to many and serious complaints on the part,o the public. On the 21st of October they published a handbill, which was posted in every carriage, and freely exhibired on all their stations, stating that on the 31st December the annual tickets should be renewed on the usual terms. When the 31st of December came, and the ferment ceased that was excited by the rumour that no more annual tickets would be issued, instead of the usual terms of 71. 7s. for second class tickets, and 101. 10s. for first. class_ an addi tional 10s. was demanded and retained till the ticket should be given up. Why this sum was demanded, and who gets the interest of the money thus obtained, no one condescended to give any information. The usual terms, as tar as money is concerned and the public interested, are now 10s. dearer than they were. But besides this: deception, from what the handbills stated as to terms, another stringent alteration was made of a most objec tionable character. -Every person taking a ticket for the year was required to sign a document, prepared under the impression - that every holder of a ticket was a thief and a rogue, agreeing to forfeit, the ticket if any other person used it, with or without your consent, saying you would buy another if you lost it, binding you to agree to any alterations they might make, and a number of other arbitrary and unjust requirements. On asking the in spector for a copy of what you were required to sign, be dared not give one, nor allow any one to copy it himself. Great indignation has been felt and expressed, and a general notion seems now entertained that a public meet ing must be called at Greenwich or London, and a peti tion to Parliament prepared to the purport that, as these directors (rim South-Eastern) raised their fares the mo ment Parliament closed its sittings, after availing them selves of the plausible effect on the public of their former fares so long as the North Kent line was before the Legislature; and axon the Greenwich line, the third class carriages were no better than the pens of Smithfield set upon wheels, being perfectly open, and without seats; and as the seconticlass for the most part are unglazed and unhealthy for delicate persons in bad weather, and as they have broken their faith with their holders of an nual tickets, that no further powers be granted to these same directors, that no new branch lines be given to men who have so grievously violated probity, and shown themselves incapable of meeting public feeling, or doing justice to English forbearance—and that additional powers he vested in the new Railway Commissioners to en able them to compel directors that show themselves unjust to the public, to carry passengers at proper fares and in proper carriages. Parliament has permitted them to take this man's house and that man's garden —to pass over this highway and that canal—to drive off the road, by the advantages they possess in steam-travelling, every other conveyance—and in return for these advan tages granted by the public through Parliament, their agents, the railway directors of Greenwich, have given no corresponding returns. Their carriages are the worst in England, their conduct is as bad as their car riages, and the public and Parliament are bamboozled and deceived. A number of gentlemen have met and agreed to take proceedings to petition Parliament to the shove effect, and perhaps vou will, in your well-known care for public interests, allow this to appear, that others may be apprised of the intentions of some who think the public have been deceived and imposed upon, Your obedient servant, Greenwich, Jan. 16, 1847.

SHOCKING AFFAIR.—MURDER AND SUICIDE,— STtUKPORT, JAN. 14.—Yesterday a coroner's inquiry was held at Heaton Norris, a parish a short distance from this town, conce ruing the death of Amy Cokely and her infant daughter, aged eiJit months. As will be seen by the following facts, the untOrtunate parent committed suicide by throwing herself into the river Mersey, with the infant in her arms, which perished with the mother. The unhappy woman cohabited with a man named Barlow, and lived in Sheppard'iebuilding, They were heard frequently to quarrel, and in conse uence of some violent bruises being foun d on her body quince of some violent bruises being toud on her body h n taken out of the water, it was generally su p pos ed in the neighbourhood that her death had realljm.

LITERATURE. THE EDINBURGH REVIEW. No. CLXXI One of those admirable biographical articles for which the blue-and-buff Review has been remarkable since its commencement, is prefixed to the seven other articles in the present quarter. The subject has been suggested by the recent publication, edited by Mr. John Hill Burton, viz., a copious biography of David Hume. As a composition the paper is singularly ditficient: it has none of the graces of style, and none of the orato rical enthusiasm, which would have characterised a contribution upon the same theme from the pen of Lord Jeffrey: it is altogether devoid of that spigra matic tartness and brilliant illustration, which would have been found in one written by the late witty Canon of St. Paul's Cathedral, Sydney Smith : it has neither the graceful. style of Walter Scott, nor the splendid enamel of Macaulay. Never theless, the article is valuable, readable, and. judicious. Since the decease of the great his torian of England, but little, comparatively, has been known by the multitude respecting his domestic career, and his familiar character. Whatever circumstances or peculiarities in his per sonal histOry had reached the ear of the public, had only come to us incidentally. As his contemporaries —the more illustrious of them—followed him to that ferry-boat of old Charon, which he himself in a de plorable fit of levity, joked about on his death-bed, stray anecdotes and casual incidents relating to David crept out piecemeal in their memoirs and autobio graphies. Otherwise nothing was printed which could elucidate his disposition and his habits, until the letters and manuscripts left by Hume to the care of his nephew, Baron Hume, with a tes • tamentary injunction as to their publication, (en injunction rejected by Adam Smith,) were consigned to the Royal Society of Riinburgh on the decease of the Baron, were ultimately resigned into the editorial hands of Mr. Burton, and were finally 1846 given to the world in two goodly and interesting volumes. Before then, the generality of the Engli s h public had only pi c k e d up a few intermitently recog nised traits in regard to the historian of the country. Everyone knew that flume was (ethically), rather more than slightly deistical. Everyone knew that he had dabbled in metaphysics, and had tried to establish a system of philosophy, and had failed. Everyone knew that Hume had a natural affection for frugality, and an occasional passion for vo luptuousness. Everyone knew that Hume was a fat man—a decidedly fat man ; more than corpulent in his middle age, and towards the close of his life rapidly approximating to obesity. Everyone knew that he absolutely abhorred Eng land, that he contemned " the barbarians living on the banks of the Thames," that he had contracted an incongruous friendship, and afterwards picked an anomalous quarrel, with Jean Jacques Rousseau ;- that he rejoiced in the luxurious society of Paris ; that he could at last thoroughly enjoy the fabrications of the cuisine; that his physiognomy was lumpish and unmeaning;",and (be it said with tenderness and reverence) that he had wept passionately on hearing of the death of his mother. We had grouped together the hieroglyphs, but we wanted the key to them. We were aware of the principal actions and events of his bodily life, but we wanted the narrative of his mental alternations ; we wanted admittance into the secret chambers of his heart ; we wanted to plumb the depths of his infidelity, and to form some ade quate conception of his extraordinary intellect. These desiderata could be best obtained through the medium of his private correspondence, and the multi tude of hitherto unrevealed facts treasured up among his private manuscripts. Through the intelligent agency of \lr. Burton, under the sanction of the Royal Society of Edinburgh, most of these mysteries are now explained, many of the most intricate por tions of the labyrinth are threaded. "The Life and Correspondence of David Hume " reposes in authentic " leather" on a thousand bookshelves in the kingdom, and that Life and that Correspondence are condensed into the compass of some seventy pages in the January quarter of the Edinburgh Review. From the period of his birth, at Edinburgh, in 1711, to his demise in the same capital, on the 25th of August, 1776, the career of David Hume is tracked with sagacity and discrimination. After his matri eulating, in 1723, at the University of Edinburgh, we are introduced to him when the victim of the most morbid and hypocondriacal phantasies. For the law he is destined—reads the rudimentary chapters of Voet and Vitiniva—and imbibes a thorough and iner radicable detestation of the profession. In his twenty first year, namely, in 1731, we 'find him selling gloves and bombiizeen from behind the counter of an extensive tradesman in Bristol. A fierce disgust seizes him at his occupation, and before the expiration of the twelvemonth, he is off to France, and domesti cated at La Fleche. By 1737 he has returned to Lo-:don with his " Treatise on Human Nature" com pleted, and in 1739 the same treatise is issued through the press —an abortion. Thereupon David Hume is detected, and seeks consolation in the family circle at Ninewells. Before 1741 has expired there appears in Edinburgh a little volume from him, entitled "Moral and Political Essays," a volume which ultimately accumulates in bulk and worth into the shape of his renowned " Essays, Moral, Literary, and Political." Subsequently he produces his "Dialogues on Natural Religion," and in the course of 1745, he is degenerated into "the company- keeper of a literar7 lunatic," Lord Annandale, living near St. Albans. then comes the ridiculous expedition in Britanny, carrying off the Scotch scribe in the retinue of General Sinclair, in the capacity of secretary and Judge Advocate. Saving that this adventure en abled him to obtain some more extended experience of the world than he could have gleaned by dozing in his elbow-chair, it was the waste of the invaluable time of Hume. After an absence of two or three years he returns homewards, one thousand pounds in pocket, and settles down, in something like domes ticity and comfort, at Edinburgh. He is there soon afterwards elected Librarian of the Faculty of Advocates, which places an enviable assort ment of books at his command. In 1752 he commences his History of England, beginning with the Stuarts, and so going back towards the Conquest, till its completion in 17G2. During the intervals of its composition he comes to London, namely in 1758, and' resides there somewhere about a year in Lisle street, Leicester-fields. By the publication of his im mortal work, David Hume had now won for himself laurels upon which he could repose (and not inoio• riously) during the remainder of his days. He visits Paris in the full blaze of his celebrity ; returns to England, and lives in London two years, dating from the middle of 1766 to the middle of 1768, and settles finally in the autumn of the latter year at Edinburgh with a respectable income of twelve hundred pounds per annum. An amusing description is given by the reviewer of the literary despotism exercised in Lon don by Doctor Johnson, at the period of Ilume's arrival in the metropolis. " Considering Johnson's occasional brutality," says he, " it would not have been safe for him and Hume to have met in private." And as a superb illustration of the sway of the great lexicographer, he observes, " it was only by taking advantage of Johnson's being away, that half-a-dozen friends contrived to smuggle Adam Smith into the club." The laughable antipathy of Hume to Eng land and the English people, is unquestionably the weakest of the many weak points in his character. It tainted his whole nature like a gangrene ; it flawed his intellect like monomania. During his sojourn in the French capital, the historian was not merely " a passion," with its inhabitants, he was a God, before wtiont they bowed down is ado ration ; and we conceive the writer is not far from the truth, where lie suspects that the incense offered to him for a time intoxicated his masculine and robust nature. Among the numerous acts of extrava gant homage paid to Hume, was that of the presen tation of the three little princes (sons of the Dauphin), aged respectively nine, eight, and six. These poor children were "set up to deliver prepared harangues to David Hume, on his Philosophy and History." Little did the enactors and spectators of that burles que scene anticipate that those infantine panegyrists of the English historian, were the germs of three sovereigns, who were to be rendered memorable by their misfortunes—Louis XVI., Louis XVIII., and Charles X. We can imagine to ourselves the grotesque figure of Monsieur Hume, engaged in the role of a Sultan in a pantomimic tableaux at Paris : we can imagine the Scotch author making fictitious love to his imsginary captives, se . ate n p , upon a sofa, between two of the pret h tiest n w d om s e l n ut i ter . n ran o c u e i thumping his legs and atom . ac , , a over and over again "Eh bum saes demoiselles. p . ig E! bien ! nous ; eh bien ! vo h us voila vous voila ici I" until he is tumbled out of "disgrace fully"rtenedriolyomini'uginethnt as incorrigible. We can it preposterous exhibition, now that has been so vividly revived to our recollection by the reviewer. There is a very noble image introduced into this article by way of illustration to the meanness of Hume's haughty infidelity in matters ethical. It is comprised in three brief se a n t t t e e n rs ce e s and is this :—" He would have been happir, we think, if the severity of e his code of morals had been a little raised—and if he had lifted himselfup by looking to a higher n ature ! There was of old a legendary figure of Christ, which wassaasid to have a power of growth in it, so as to alwaystaller than the tallest man , The companion be toth this figure, and also converse to it, would the wail: who, erect in bin; elf and noble, yet, from looking upwards, becomes nobler still We have commented so largely upon this biographi- cal paper, that we have left ourselves little space for the enumeration of the subsequent articles. A contribution larded with anecdotes, and brimming over with antiquarian gossip about the streets of Paris, follows. Talking about the Place Royale, the writer has availed himself of the opportunity to sketch the character of Cardinal Richelieu in a few brilliant touches—so brilliant and so truthful withal, that we transcribe the passage entire : "Cardinal Richelieu, take him for all in all, was per haps the ablest, if not the greatest of Frenchmen (f_a - Napoleon, it must be recollected, was not a Frenchman: by birth) ; and he was the most essentially French. Capable of the greatest schemes of statesmaike arnbi thin, thd smallest personal interest or personal pique lay ever more closely at his heart. Even while planning his % ast combinations of foreign and domestic policy, the bulk of his time and thoughts seem to have been occu pied with cares of the most trifling description : with amorous and literary enterprises, having nothing but th , gratification of vanity for their object : with elaborate deviois of mystification and baffoonery, childish sivalries, womanish intrigues, and the tricks of a malicious monke'.. He had Lone of the sympathies, few of the prejudices, of his age. Neither sacred things, nor coo at crated int postures, had any empire over him. King, Pope, an( Parliament were to him m, - re names, riaresruting piece, in the game of polities. Yet the same man was the slave of the paltriest impulses, whe his councilor egotism was piqued. If w e read of him one day as guiding the swore; of Gustavus, of stemming the R enish re-action, foundiey the short-lived absolute monarchy of France ; the nex , day he figures on a level with poor Pr. Goldsmith, when he wanted to exhibit his agility in jumping over a stick against a showman's puppet. This is no idle compari son. Brienne has recorded how Mary of Medicis, making sport of her clerical lover, then Bishop of Luton, per suaded him, by adroit reflections on his skill, to execute new saraband in het. royal boudoir, with castanets in ~ his: bands, and in the costume of an .Andalusian majo— amidst the suppressed convulsion of laughter of certain spectators posted behind the arras—laughter which Richelieu, when he discovered the trick, never forgot or forgave to his dying day. On the one hand, Father Jo seph, the masked politician, the secret councillor of alt the deepest plans of Richelieu's ambition ; on the other. Bois Robert, the unfrocked athiest and buffoon—they are the contrasted figures with which that of Richelieu seems inseparably connected. On the whole, gteat as In was, there is something fundamentally odious in his character, which makes him one of the most ur interest ing great men of history. Lke Voltaire, whom he so strikingly resembled in many points of character, he was spiteful. hard-hearted, and cruel. He bated the Queen, who had rejected his impudent suit. He hated all whom she favoured. Ifis political victims were not many, but they were hunted out with peculiarly cold and careful cruelty. He could be generous towards those who had committed offences against him: there is a striking story told by Tallemant des R6aux, who may be believed when he speaks well of any one, of his conduct to a thievish secretary; but he could not forgive an insult, a jeer, or the slightest mortification to his vanity, or opposition to hi. projects. His death was felt by France like the re lief from a nightmare—from the king to the lowest rhymester of the ruelles, all Joined in the burden of the couplets which proclaimed it— ' 11 eat parti, it a pile bagage, Ce Cardinal I' But it is remarkable that a man so hateful, so destitute of all faith and all loftiness of purpose, should have left such durable impressions on the world. Scarcely does Paris itself, which is fell of his relics— the Palais Royal, the library, the street which bears his name—speak more plainly of Richelieu than that fabric of modern European policy, - of which he has, acarely with exaggeration, been termed the founder." That fabric was erected on the ruins of aristocratic feudalism ; and, in return, upon the ruins of that fabric was erected the yet more modern system of European policy. A. clever argument in favour of the transference of the moneys collected by the local taxation of the kingdom (amounting annually to some. where about 11,000,0001. sterling) into the hands of Government, is contained in the next contribution. The writer conceives that by this transference of the administrative power from a number of scattered and conflicting municipalities to the one united power by which the whole destinies of the empire are protected, a very considerable economy would be the consequence. In this there something beyond mere plausibility, but the matter is one involving so many interests, and is one, more over, in which the body of the citizens of this empire are so deeply interested, that it requires the most elaborate scrutiny before a single step be taken ont way or the other. There is much reason in the ad vocacy both of the Government distribution of those 11,000,000/.. and of the local distribution of them. As Lord Lincoln observed in his recent ad dress to the con'tituency of Manchester, there is ample scope for both Government exertion and individual exertion, though the Noble Lord qualified the observation by exclaiming, "Do not sup pose that I should wish to see everything conducted, as in other countries, by the effort of the Govern ment." The calculation of the amount of rates, tolls, dues, and fees collected annually in England is of so much importance to the consideration of the question at issue, that we transfer it to our columns : " Relief of poor (1845) X 5,039,703 Miscellaneous purposes defrayed out of poor's rate .. .. County and borough rate (1845) Highway rate Church rate 537,737 • ... 1,279,962 ••• ••• 1,312,812 ••• ... 506,812 ••• 82.097 ••• ... unknown ~. unknown Sewers' rate (metropolis) Rest of country ... ••• Lighting and watching rite --- Total of rates in England, £8,759,123 Turnpike tolls • • ... ... £1,348,084 Borough tolls ••• ••• 9.. ••• 378.011 Light dues ... ••• ... ... 257,776 Port dues ... ... ... ... ... 554 615 Justiciary fees ~G • ••• ••• ••• 68,725 Other mibeellaneous fees ... ... ... unkn )wn Total of tolls, &c., in England, £2.607,241 Adding these two classes of local taxes together, we obtain the following result : Rates ~, £8,759.123 Tolls, dues, and fees 2,607,241 Total local taxes in England, £11,366,364" Upon " Bancroft's History of the United States," and "Bunsen on the Basilicas of Rome," there are two admirable articles to which we could willingly de vote more than a cursory allusion. "Thornton on Over population" is a sensible review upon a matter of the highest interest, both in regard to nationality and hu manity. The essay devoted to the consideration of the "Genius and Writings of Pascal," is a splendid panegyric upon a man with a sublime nobility of heart and a supreme loftiness of intellect. Blaise Pascal is one of those " bright particular stars " which appear not once in a generation, but one in a century of gene rations. The article is eloquent and learned. With a disquisition upon that very comprehensive system called " Centralization, —a subject suggested by the recent works of M. de Carmenin (Timon), M. Vivien, Charles Dunoyer, and Samuel Laing—the Edin burgh Review for the first quaiter of 1847 is com pleted,, and completed excellently. DEATH OF LORD KINGSALE.—The Exeter Flying. Post announces the decease of this nobleman, whose faMily name is so familiar to those interested in heraldry and genealogy. His Lordship died on the 7th inst., at Ringrone House, near Kingsbridge. The deceased John Stapleton de Courcy, Lord Kingsale, Baron Courcy of Courcy, and of Ringrone, Premier Baron in the Peerage of Ireland, was born September 17, 1805, and succeeded his uncle, the taenty-seventh Lord, in 1832. In Oc tober, 1825, he married Sarah, second daughter of J 0 seph Chadder, Esq., of Devonshire, by whom he had issue five children, including the Hon. John Constantine (born in 1827), who succeeds to the title and estates, which latter lay in the county of Cork, Ireland. The De Courcys came to this country with William the Cu,.-. quei•or. The first holding the above title was Sir John tie Courcy, who was (Ustingnished in the wars of Eng land and Ireland in the time of Henry 11. Having bee.: champion of England in a dispute with France, and having vanquished the greatest swardatnan of the period in the latter country, King John granted him and his descendants the ptivile.4e of remaining covered in the presence of tho Sovereign. We may add, that up to the present time, the right has been exercised by members of the family. SOHAM.—ANOTHER ATTEMPT AT FIRE, AND CoM MITTAL OF THE SUPPOSED INcENDIARr.—We have to record another attempt at fire in ti , is unfortunate par i sh, : .o which, providentially, like the la,t, was unsu h c t et s t. c u: the part of the incendiary. About a fortnig i t was discovered that the buildings opposite t he Baptis t Chapel had had a most narrow escape o f fire, a hand kerchief with turf ashes, and a box of Lucifers, the former partly consumed, being found in a barn bel ,raging to Messrs. Cowers. Suspicion had for some little time rested upon an individual 'named Munson, as being con cerned in other fires, although no actual clue could be obtained, and on the present occasion that suspicion Was strengthened by several circumstances; on inquiry being made, it was ascertained that the handkerchief lr.a(l been in Munson's possession only a few days previou.. This fact led to his being taken into custody, and after 'an examination before John Dobede, Esq., he was remanded for a week, and on Tuesday last twain underwent a mo re lengthened hearing before the Newmarket bench, the evidence adduced was found su ffi cient to ju stify them in fully oommitting the prisoner for tria l. As different witnesses gave their evidence, they were cross - examined by Munson at great length , ' but without any ether result than that of streng thening the case against him.—Cambridge Independent 3 NEW IRISH MAGISTRATE.—reestBia.

(FROM A CORRESPONDENT.) • • • DERBY, SATURDAY NIGHT. —The first surgical ope ration in Derby under the inhalation of sulphuric ether —and one, too, of a formidable character-- took place this afternoon. The operation was performed by Mr. Rudkin, surgeon, in presence of several gentlemen, in. eluding Mr. J. B. Murphy. surgeon dentist. As well au thenticated narratives of the effects of this r. inarkable discovery are not only read with interest, but may be productive of much good in inducing others to submit to the treatment, I send you the following particulars of the case, every word of which cen be s a tisf a ct or ily proved. young woman, aged 19, residing with her parents at Repton, consulted- Dr. Brigstocke, on account of a disease from which she had been suGring for between six and seven years. On examining the case he found that, in the year 1840, she suffered severely from scar latina, which left, as one of its conseqiemces, an extensive inflammation of the periosteum c f the tibia on the left leg, which, partly from neglect and partly from ineffi cient treatment, eventually involved nearly the whole of the shaft of the bone, accompanied by extensive-ulcera tion, deep sinusses, copious and remarkably foetid :lischarges. The constitutional irritation arising from these causes had most seriously affected the girl's general nesith, and finding that the case required the immediate attentien of a competent surgeon, Dr. Brigstocke re quested that Mr. Rudkin would undertake the charge of the case. She was then removed to Derby. Without entering into further particulars, it was de eided in consultation that the whole of the diseased bone should be removed. The bone at this time at its upper extremity was entirely denuded to the extent oftthree inches, but strongly adherent to the subjacent parts, - and the middle portion was partly concealed with firm hut unhealthy integument. As it was anticipated that the removal of a sequestrum so extensive and firniiy ad herent would be attended with most excruciating pain to he patient, it was determined that the means recently btroduced to suspend animal sonsibiiity should he len :ered available in her behalf. ET iLis purpose the simple apparatus suggested by Mr. lierapatit, consisting ..,1 a bladder, stop-cock, and mouth-piece••tO breathe brough, was adopted. Almost immediately after meathing the vapour, entire sensibility of the patient vast suspended. The intermediate portion of the bone .vas then carefully dissected from its superficial covering, and the seqUestrum firmly grasped with a 1 !rge forceps, and with considerable violence eventually removed entire. During this painful process the patent was perfectly unconscious of what was going on. Ott the removal of the vapour she very soon recovered her sensibility ; and when ohe recognised the operator she exclaimed, " Oh, Mr. Rankin, you have not removed my poor bene." He' told her that he had. She seemed for a moment very dubious ; bur on Mr. Rudkin exhibiting the detached dire, she could se.rcety re-train her feelings of j(.y and :;ratitude. She said that she had b een d ream i ng ; t h at the never experienced the slightest pain or inconvenience eithorr from the operation or inhalation of the vapour, and that she was quite astonished on finding " all was over." , i--_, To show how little she was affected by whit hail taken pace, I may mention that when the bandages were placed round the leg, the operator called to a temale attendant to bring a needle snd thre d, whereop , n the patient exclaimed, •' Oh, give it to me, I'll do it," and immediately sewed the bandages together, as if nothing had occurred. The length of the sequettrum reamed is seven inches, and the operation did not occupy three minutes. It was performed to the evident satisfaction of the gen tlemen who kindly witnessed the operation ; and thuS was this poor girl spared the most excruciating agony by this new discovery. She says that she has less pain now than she had before the bone was removed, and does not feel the slightest, inconvenience.
