JAMES and EDWARD ATKINSON respectfully solicit the attention of the Public to the above article; they will not presume to point out the anti -contagious qualities of Camphor, but they fearlessly challenge a comparison with any article sold under the nam e of Camphor Soap ; indeed, many have nothing of Camphor but the name, but this may at once be known by its fragrance and appearance. It is perhaps the most Powerful preparation of Camphor that can be formed in a fixed state. It is a most excellent Soap for washing, being very mild, correcting all hardness and redness of the skin arising from labour or inckment weather, and its sooth ing properties for chapped hands are too well known to need repetition. It readily dissolves in water, communi cating to it a flavour equal to what is usually sold as Spirits of Camphor, and its aroma immediately fills the atmosphere of the largest apartment.—Price Is. the square. N.B. Prepared also in Shaving Cakes, various sizes. Also ATKINSON'S CONCENTRATED ESSENCE of CAMPHOR, the strongest preparation of Camphor that can b e made in a liquid state. A few drops added to Lavender Water, Eau de Cologne, or any other article, makes what is known as Camphorated Lavender, &c. Also ATKINSON'S CAMPHOR PASTE, particu larly adapted to a cold season for preventing the hands chapping and immediately allaying the pain.

CHOLERA MORBUS CURED BY MORISON'S UNIVERSAL MEDICINES ONLY. THE President and the Board of the Bri tish College of Health, New-road, King's Cross, London, on referring the British Public to their former statement of the undoubted success of the Universal Medi cines in stopping the ravages of the Cholera Alorbus in the Baltic, as given, verbatim, from Mr. M. Gardner, their general Agent for the County of Durham, (who had supplied several Baltic vessels with the Medicine), beg leave to lay before the Public a letter, received this day from their Agent at Carlisle, containing a still more cor roborative proof of their full efficiency on this devastat ing scourge : ANOTHER CURE OF MALIGNANT CHOLERA NIORBUS. To Mr. HUDSON, Agent for Carlisle. did not intend giving my case publicity, but when I consider the awful visitation of the Cholera in Sunderland and the neighbourhood, I do not think I should be doing justice to Mr. Morison and the public if I were to keep any longer silence. A few weeks ago I was called to Berwick-upon-Tweed as a Hatter, when I was severely attacked with the Cholera. The symptoms were cramp in my limbs, being all drawn up; my body was all over a blue colour, acconapanied with violent purg ing and vomiti ng, whon a friend of mine, a Minister of the Gos pel, came timely with Morison's Pills. I took twelve at first, and repeated the dose a few times, when my health was com pletely restored. I have given the symptoms, and leave it to the public to judge for themselves to call my disorder what they please. However, I acknowledge my gratitude tci Almighty God, ftom whom all blessings flow, in sending his ser vant with Mor ison, the justly celebrated Vegetable Universal Medicine of the Hygeist, to my relief. I am, yours respectfully, "Carlisle, Dec. 16, 1831. EDWARD ALLISON. CURE OF SCROFULA, ATTENDED WITH AN UNCON-. QUERIBLE LETHARGY. To Mr. MORISON. tit,—Havig btained a comlee cure of most irulent sor.

It was thought by my friends and the faculty that I should be taken off in one of these fits of languor, which, no doubt, (as I now learn from your excellent Treatise on the Small-pox), pro ceeded from tho se mor bid h umours which had been checked in their progress for expulsion, at the time of my being caught with the small-pox infection, as nature in its efforts to throw off those incumbrances, had covered me with most virulent scor butic eruptions, from which I never expected to recover, yet, w onderful to relate, by taking ten or twelve small boxes of your General Agent for Staffordshire—Mr. Mason, of this town—l am restored to sound health. for which I can never be sufficiently grateful, and am, Sir, y our d e b tor f or h ealth, West Bromwich, Dec. 12, 1131.

Jomard, dated Alexandria, Nov. 18, has been commnicated to the Paris Academy of Medicine, which gives some inte resting particulars relative to the cholera morbus in Egy pt. M. Jomard states that the cholera morbus manifested itself at Mecca, in the course of the month of May, upon which every neces sary precaution was ordered to be taken, by order of the Viceroy. Unfortunately, however, in consequence of the ideas which the Turks entertain respecting predestination, these precau tions were almost useless. A number of tra vellers coming from Mecca had entered Cairo. The dangerous disorder had broken out at Suez. The population of this village is com posed of 400 inhabitants. In three days, the 30th and 3I st of July, and the Ist of August, 125 had perished, including the Governor and some travellers from Mecca. A physician, who was sent by the Government, had returned from Cairo in great alarm, without doing any thing, and no obstacle had been offered to his return. Some judicious measures were taken by Ibrahim Pacha, to prevent the introduction of this hor rible disorder ; but it was propagated at Cairo by the pilgrims from Mecca, although they staid but a very short time in the former city. Seve ral deaths took place in the harem, and three in the Frank quarter. A general terror was spread through Cairo, and whole families fled, giving themselves up for lost. The Nile was covered with boats filled with fugitives. Business was suspended, and the diplomatic offices closed.— At the suggestion of the Viceroy, a Committee was then appointed to adopt such measures as might be deemed expedient to avert the malady. The Committee was composed of the Consuls- General of France, Sweden, England, Tuscany, and the Russian Agent, and was declared per manent. On the 21st, alarming reports were spread as to the existence of contagion, and on the 22d we knew that a dozen persons had died on the preceding night with symptoms of cholera. Among the victims of this scourge were three Europeans. A sanitary cordon became useless, and no further atten tion was paid to points of communica tion. The commanders of several French vessels followed the advice of M. Minaut, and sailed for some port of Syria. A great part of the squadron of the Pacha was at that time in- fected. From this time, at Cairo, as well as Alexandria, the scourge made rapid progress. Mourning and despair went together ; and the belief in predestination, so dear to the Mussul mans, alone inspired the victims with confidence. Often, in the short space of an hour or two, a man full of vigour suddenly fell down, affected ►with dreadful cramps and violent pains in the stomach, and expired with horrible sickness. The dead bodies in Cairo were abandoned in the houses and in the streets, and it is impossible to give an idea of the spectacle which the city presented for several days. In spite of measures adopted by Ibrahim Paella, who surrounded his palace with a triple cordon, the cholera had ma nifested itself in the harem, where about forty persons were attacked by it. The Prince em barked in a boat, only accompanied by his phy sician, with the intention of going to Upper Egypt. We had then, continues M. Jomard, to deplore the loss of several Europeans of distinc tion at Cairo. The Sardinian Vice-Consul and his lady, the Chancellor of Russia, and the lady of the Austrian Chancellor, died in a very short time. We had also to lament the Spanish Con sul-General, M. Cri!us y Soler, the Chancellor of Tuscany, who died on board a vessel, and the Dragoman of the Consul-General of England. The ravages of the disorder continued particu larly in Alexandria, in the quarter inhabited by the sailors, and on board the vessels. Out of 500 men on board of one of the Paella's frigates, more than 350 died in the space of twenty-four hours. Three Europeans who were on board, were saved, as it were by miracle. Several of the French physicians gave striking proofs of eminent skill and laborious attention: The cholera, according to custom, followed beaten tracks, and the courses of canals and rivers. It manifested itself with violence at Fouah, at the entrance of the canal Alahmoudieh, where there were a great many pilgrims and fugitives, and at Rosetta and Damietta. Towards the commencement of September, however, the dis order was less alarming, and presented symptoms of abatement. The number of deaths sensibly diminished. The same thing occurred at Cairo. According to the bulletin sent to the Govern ment, the number of deaths in that capital, on the 3d of September, ras 247—0 n the 4th, 263 —on the sth, 220—0 n the 6th, 176—0 n the 7th, 154—and on the Bth, 111. At Alexan dria the results were as follows :—On the 3d, 110 deaths-4th, 86-sth, 78-6th, 64-7th, 44—and the Bth, 56. The bulletins, however, were very incorrect ; and, either from negligence or inattention, the number of deaths was stated to be much less than it was in reality. The day on which there was the greatest number of deaths at Cairo, the 29th of August, in the bul letin it is stated at 696 ; but we have ascertained with certainty that there were more than 1,400. The largest number of deaths in one day at Alexandria, is stated in the bulletin to be 136, but we are assured that there were more than 400. The disorder was not confined to Cairo and Alexandria, but extended to Upper Egypt as far as Ossonan. As it proceeded up the Nile it increased in intensity. The villages of the Delta suffered considerably. At Rosetta the Arabs and Turks who were attacked did not escape. Towards the latter end of September, here, as well as at Cairo, the disorder had so much abated that it may be said to have ceased in Lower Egypt. In Upper Egypt it continued to exist up to the 15th of October. The total number of those who fell victims to the cholera at Alexandria, was 3,908. This does not in clude the Jews, Cophts, &c., and if these are reckoned, the number of deaths may be stated at 4,000. At the village of Abore Zabel, out of 2,000 inhabitants 1,000 died. • Rosetta lost more than 1,800, Damietta 3,224. The total loss in Egypt is estimated at 150,000 persons. A letter from Luxor states, that the cholera nearly decimated the population of the villages scattered over the ruins of Thebes, which is to be the more regretted as it attacked the crew of a vessel which was destined to convey to France two obelisks, intended as presents to the Govern ment by the Viceroy, Mehemet Ali. T e n men of the crew had been attacked, but their lives were not despaired of. NOTTINGHAM SPECIAL COMMISSION. NO TTINGHAM.- 7 HURSDAY NIGHT. I stated yesterday my opinion that the business of this Commision would terminate either on Saturday or Monday next. In this I spoke without sufficient force as to the nature of the indictments, and the evi dence by which they are to be supported, as also of the defence which some of the prisoners intend to make. I now find that several indictments for ca pital offences have been prepared against many of the prisoners, that these rest on the testimony of a great many witnesses, and that some of the prisoners have as many as 10 or 15 witnesses to prove an alibi. It is said that the witnesses for the prisoners amount to 250 in all. Taking this into considera tion, and the fact mentioned below, that nothing has been done to-day but the charging of the Grand Jury and the finding of indictments in one case, I think there is no chance of the business of the com mission being brought to a close before the middle of next week, if so soon. I may here mention that a meeting was held here a short time ago, at which an address was voted to the King, praying, amongst other matters, for the dismissal of the Duke of Newcastle from his office of Lord Lieutenant of this county. This address was sent to Mr. Hume, who acknow ledged its receipt in a letter, dated the 29th of De cember, which, with the address, I subjoin. They are not destitute of interest at this time. This morning, at half-past ten, the Judges, ac companied by the High Sheriff, &c., went to St. Mary's church to attend divine service, after which they proceeded to the Crown Court, where the roll of Magistrates being called over, twenty-seven an swered to their names, amongst these was the Duke of Portland, who soon after took his seat on the bench. The Court was crowded in every part, but owing to the very kind attention of 11r. G. Freeth, the Under-Sheriff, the reporters from the London Press were provided with very convenient places. They have also to acknowledge the very obliging attention of Mr. Collison, the clerk of the arraigns. After the usual formalities, the following were sworn on the Grand Jury : -- Lord George Bentiuck, Foreman. The Hon. Charles Picrrepont. J. S. Sherwin, Esq. Sir R. Clifton, Bart. J. G. C. Gardiner, Esq. Sir R. H. Bromley, Bart. H. Machin, Esq. J. S. Lumley, Esq. T. Nixon, Esq. J. E. Denison, Esq. W. Taylor, Esq. NV. F. Handley, Esq. T. Hall, Esq. W. Miles, Esq. H. Mundy, Esq. J. E. Westcome, Esq. F. Wright, Esq. J. Wright, Esq. H. Smith, Esq. Wm. B. Martin, Esq. P. Brooke, Esq. NV. F. N. Norton, Esq. W. NV. P. Clay, Esq. The usual proclamation against vice and profane ness was then read, after which Mr. Justice LITTLEDALE addressed the Grand Jury to the following effect : Gentlemen of the Grand Inquest,--I am most happy to find a full Grand Jury, consisting of such highly respectable gentlemen, on this solemn occa sion. We are assembled by virtue of a Commission issued by his Majesty, to exercise the criminal judi cature in this county. It is well known to all who now hear me, that in the early part of last October, some very daring and outrageous acts of violence and rapine were committed, and a great quantity of property destroyed in the neighbourhood of this town. These acts appeared to have gone to such an extent, and to be of such magnitude, that his Majesty deemed it proper that an investigation should take place as to who had been the perpetrators of these crimes, at an earlier period than the usual time appointed for the trial of offenders. It appears that in the early part of the first of the days on which some of these outrages took place a meeting was held at Nottingham, connected with the question of Parliamentary Reform• It does not appear, how ever, that at at the meeting any thing occurred which led to what afterwards followed ; but when a great number of persons are assembled for one pur pose, it frequently happens that after the meeting is over, misguided and ill-disposed men would take ad -vantage of an assemblage having taken place, and will proceed to acts foreign to its original object, and will commit aggressions against those who differ with them in opinion on the subject of the meeting, or will take an opportunity of venting their private malice against individuals unconnected with or owing to any particular opinions, or for the sake of rapine and plunder, or for the sake of wanton or reckless mischief; but, gentlemen, it is no part of your duty, or of those who are named in the com mission, to enquire into, or consider the cause or cir cumstances which led to the commission of the offence which ought to be investigated. Even if we were to do so, and could be quite certain of having come to the right conclusion, it would not in the least vary the question. Our only duty is to consider whether any crimes have been perpetrated, what the nature of those crimes is, and by whom they have been committed : and we shall be the better able to investigate these objects of inquiry by confining the question to the points themselves, without reference as to what led to them. lam sure that the country may solely rely on the vigi lance and attention with which you will proceed in the examination of the cases brought before you, and that no indignation at the outrages which have been committed will excite any prejudice in your minds, when you are considering the evidence against each individual, and deciding how far he is personally implicated; and on the other hand, that the serious nature of the charges will not deter you from presenting to the justice of their country those who may reasonably appear to be guilty of them. You are not, however, to decide whether the per sons charged are guilty or not—your duty is only to enquire, whether the evidence appears to you to be sufficient to justify you in sending them to another jury, who are appointed by law to hear the evidence on both sides, and to say whether the persons charged be guilty or not of the crime imputed to theta. It is of the highest importance to the peace and good order of society, that not only those who have been concerned in the late outrages, but that all other persons should be taught, by the awful lesson which may be afforded here, that whatever vain notions may be entertained of the power or strength of a riotous multitude, and however such a multitude may maintain for a short time a successful triumph, the law of the land will always be found too strong for those who transgress it, and that those who defy it will in the end be subdued by it, and be compelled to submit to its justice or to its mercy. The cases which have given rise to this commission are ,—fi rst , t h e b urn i n g and partial de molition of Colwick-hall ; second, the burning of Nottingham Castle ; third, the burning and partial demolition of a mill at Beeston ; fourth, the riots in and near Wollerton-park. The law as to these cases lies in a small compass. With respect to the burning, at common law the malicious and voluntary burnin g of the dwelling-house of another, or of a barn with corn in it, was a felony. Several Acts of Parliament have been passed for the prevention of arson, the last of which, prior to the late consolida tion Acts, was the 9th Geo. 1., c. 22. ; and now, by the 7th and Bth Geo. IV., c. 30, sec. 2, it is en acted, « That if any person shall unlawfully or ma liciously set fire to any church or chapel, or to any chapel for the religious worship of persons dissent ing from the united Church of England and Ireland, duly registered or recorded, or shall unlawfully or maliciously set fire to any house, stable, coach-house, out-house, warehouse, office, shop, mill, malt-house, hop-oast, barn, or granary, or to any building or erection used in carrying on any trade or manufac ture, or any branch thereof, shall suffer death as a felon." As to the riotous and tumultuous assem bling of persons, and the demolition and destruction of property when so assembling, it is enacted by 7 and 8 Geo, -h. c. 30., s. 8., " If any persons, riotously and tumultuouslyassembled together, to the disturbance of the public peace, shall unlawfully and with force de molish, or pull down, or destroy, or begin to demo lish, pull down, or destroy, any church or chapel, or any chapel for the religious worship of persons dissenting from the united Church of England and Ireland, duly registered or recorded, or any house, stable, coach-house, out-house, warehouse, office, shop, mill, malt-house, hop-oast, barn, or granary, or any building or erection used in carrying on any trade or manufacture, or any branch thereof, or any machinery, whether fixed or moveable, to be found or employed in any manufacture, or any branch thereof, or any steam-engine, or other engine, for sinking, draining, or washing any mine, or any staith , building, or erection, used in conducting the busi ness of any mine, or any bridge, waggon way, or trench, for carrying materials for any mine, any such offender shall he guilty of felony, and being con victed thereof, shall suffer death like a felon." ATth regard to a mere simple riot, when of itself it is defined to be " a tumultuous disturbance of the peace by three persons or more assembled toge ther of their own authority with an intent mutually to assist one another against any who shall oppose them in the execution of some enterprise of a private nature, and afterwards executing the same in a violent or turbulent manner to the terror of the people, whether the act intended were of itself law ful or unlawful." Thus stands the law with respect to the crimes that are intended to be brought under your consideration ; but some observations are ne cessary to be made as to the different classes of per sons who are charged as having committed these various offences, and may be affected in various degrees. It is not only proper to state the law to you, but more particularly as applicable to the cases to which capital punishment attaches. It is very desirable to mention a subject of the greatest impor tance to those who join in these daring outrages, and which is probably not understood as to the ex tent of their guilt by many of these deluded persons. Many of them think that he only who applied the torch or match to the building or stack in ease of fire, or he who applies the bar, the mattock, or the ham mer in the demolition of buildings, is alone guilty of the offence ; and they who merely stand by, giving their encouragement, and handing even the imple ments, are guilty of a much less offence ; but these deluded persons are not to flatter themselves that they can escape a capital punishment on that ac count, for there is no doubt that they are principals in the second degree, and liable to the same punish ment as those by whose hands more immediately the work of destruction is effected, and who are called principals in the first degree. So also, if a person be not present at the time the crime is committed, yet if he procures, or counsels, or commands ano. ther to commit a crime, is an accessory before the fact, and by the 26th section of the 7th and Bth Geo. IV., cap. 30, principals in the second degree and accessories before the fact are liable to the same punishment as principals in the first degree. 'With regard to those who engage in riots, the law is, that if one person seeing others engaged in riots, joins himself to them, and assists them, he is as much a rioter as if he had joined them in the first instance for the same purpose, inasmuch as he has no pre tence that he came innocently into their company, but seems as if he had joined himself to them with an intention of seconding them in the execution o' their unlawful enterprise, and it would be endless as well us superfluous to examine whether any particular person engaged in a riot were in truth one of the first who assembled, or actually had a previous knowledge of the design, and the law is, that " if any person encouraging or promoting, or taking any part in riots, whether by words, signs, or gestures, or by wearing the badge or ensign of the rioters, he is himself to be considered a rioter;" for in this case all are principals ; and on this occasion I think it right to remark, that by the common law all riots and unlawful assemblies by great numbers of people as are calculated to excite alarm arid to endanger property and public peace and tranquillity is pro hibited and punishable as misdemeanors. Though the parties proceed to no acts of destruction or injury of persons or property, such assemblies are most dangerous, and acquire additional strength the longer they continue together, their numbers in crease, their passions become inflamed, they get bolder as they proceed, and the example of the most ardent and daring gives the rule of conduct to the rest, and when once they have violated the law they are easily led into acts of further aggression, and at last betrayed into the commission of the most atrocious crimes. You w ill probably have some accomplices brought before you as witnesses, in that case you will receive them as competent. The evidence of accomplices has, at all times, been ad mitted, from a principle of public policy and from necessity, as it is frequently impossible to detect the worst of crimes without their information; but although accomplices are admitted as witnesses, their testimony ought to be received by Juries with a sober degree of jealousy and caution, for on their own confession they stand contaminated with guilt, and in the hope of lessening their own infamy, will often be tempted to throw as much guilt as possible upon the prisoners. They may also, in some cases, be entitled to reward on the prisoners' conviction, and in all cases expect to receive a pardon; and as fear is usually their motive in giving evidence, the same feeling may rPmpt them to exaggerate their state ment, for the purpose of destroying their former associate, and securing themselves against his vengeance. As accomplices are competent wit nesses, it follows, that if their evidence be believed by a Jury, a prisoner may, strictly speaking, be legally convicted upon it, though it be unaccom parried by any other evidence as to his identity ; but their testimony alone is seldom of sufficient weight with the Jury to induce them to give a verdict against the prisoner, the temptation to commit per jury being so great; besides, the witness by ac cusing another may escape himself. The practice, therefore, with Judges, is to advise the Jury to re gard the evidence of an accomplice only so far as it may be confirmed in some material part of his nar rative by unimpeachable evidence. It is not neces sary that he should be confirmed in every circum stance which he details in evidence, for there would 'be no occasion to call him at all as a witness if his narrative could be completely proved by other evi dence, free from all suspicion, nor need it appear from the confirmatory evidence that he speaks truth with respect to all the prisoners or with respect to the share which each had in the transaction. But if the Jury are satisfied that he speaks truth in some material parts of his testimony, in which they see unimpeachable evidence brought to confirm him, that is a ground for them to believe that he also speaks truly in other parts, and with regard to other prisoners as to whom there may be no confirmation. I have now brought to a close the observations I have to make to you as applicable to the cases for which his Majesty has been pleased to issue this Commission. It now devolves on me to make some remarks on the cases of the other prisoners confined in the gaol. It gives me much pain to see that in the calendar there are two separate and distinct cases of incendiarism, in burning agricul tural produce. This offence of private burn ng is one of very deep moral guilt. it is easy ' of perpetration, and very difficult to detect. The persons who commit it have not evert the common excuse that criminals make to theM selves, that they are led into the commission of the offence to relieve their necessities, but these are ac tuated by a deliberate and malignant feeling, for no other purpose but to gratify their private malice or revenge, and to do an injury to others for the mere sake of mischief and distinction, or to excite terror and alarm. Some years ago these private burnings of agricultural produce were of rare occurrence, but they have lately increased to a most alarming extent, and if they should still increase, the consequences may become most awful, and considering the mys y and obscurity in which these acts of incer• diarism are involved, it is of the utmost importance to use the most active endeavours to detect the per petrators, and to prevent the recurrence of these destructive outrages. The law as applicable to those cases is in the 17th sec. of the 7th and Bth of Geo. IV., c. 30, by which it is enacted, that " if any person shall unlawfully and maliciously set tire to any stack of corn, grain, pulse, straw, hay, or wood, every such offender should be guilty of felony, and being convicted thereof shall suffer death as a felon ; and if any person shall unlawfully and mali ciously set fire to any crop of corn, grain, or pulse, whether standing or cut down, or to any part of a wood, coppice, or plantation of trees, or to any heath, gorse, furze, or fern, wheresoever the same may be going, every such offender shall be guilty of felony, and on being convicted thereof shall be liable, at the discretion of the Court, to be trans ported beyond the seas for the term of seven years, or to be imprisoned for any term not exceeding two years, and if a male to be once, twice, or thrice publicly whipped (if the Court should so think fir) in addition to such imprisonment." The charge against each of these prisoners is for the capital offence. The Learned Judge then proceeded to direct the attention of the Grand Jury to the other cases in the calendar, particularly those of rape on two children, and another offence, on which he stated what the law was. It is unnecessary to state why we do not go farther into detail on this part of the charge. As soon as the Learned Judge had concluded the Grand Jury retired to their room, and the Court, after calling over the common Jury list, adjourned to half-past three o'clock. Grand Juryafter the sentd re-assembling ow n truebills against o ft eGeorge Court, the Beck, aged 20; George Hcarson, 22; Adam Wag staffe, 25; Henry Lindley, 19; Henry King, 17; John Forman, 23; John Armstrong, 26; William Kitchen, 26; David Thurman, 26 ; Thomas Shel ton, 38; William Hitchcock, 33; and Thomas Grundy* (age not stated), for setting fire to the silk mill at Beeston, the property of Mr. Lowe. Another bill was returned against the same par ties, for demolishing the same mill. Also a third bill, for demolishing the machinery in the same mill. The Court then adjourned to to-morrow morning at half-past eight, when the prisoners above named will be given in charge on the first indictment. It is expected this case Will last the whole of the day, and to a late hour in the evening. The case for the Crown will be conducted by Mr. Gurney and Mr. Clarke. Mr. Tallents is acting as Crown Solicitor, in the absence of Mr. Maule, who is engaged at the Commission at Bristol. * The case of Grundy was somewhat singular. He was brought in here yesterday from Derby, charged with being en gaged in the riots, but the evidence against him not being satis factory he was discharged out of custody. In the interim two witnesses came forward, who swore positively that he was one of the parties actively engaged in the destruction of the mill at Bveston. Officers were again despatched after him, and at five o'clock this morning he was once more taken into custody and lodged in gaol, where he now is, with three bills of indictment, for distinct capital felonies, foundi against him. NECESSARY QUANTITY OF SLEEP. With regard to the necessary quantity of sleep, so much depends upon age, constitution, and employment, that it is impossible to lay down any fixed rule which will apply to all cases. Jeremy Taylor states, that three hours only out of the twenty-four should be spent in sleep. Baxter extends the period to four hours, Wesley to six, Lord Coke and Sir William Jones to seven, and Sir John Sinclair to eight. With the latter lam disposed to coincide. Taking the average of mankind, we will come as nearly as possible to the truth when we say, that nearly one-third part of life should be spent in sleep ; in some cases even more may be necessary, and in few can a much smaller portion be safely dis pensedd; b utchildhood with. When a person is young, strong, n healthy, a hour andor two ex extreme od age may l be suffi cient re quire a still greater portion. No person who passes only eight hours in bed can be said to waste his time. If, however, he exceeds this, and is, at the same time, in possession of vigour and youth, he lays himself open to the charge of passing in slumber those hours which should be devoted to some other purpose. Too little sleep shortens life as much as an excess of sleep. Barry, in his work on " Digestion," has made an ingenious, but somewhat whimsical calculation on this subject. He asserts, that the duration of human life may be ascertained by the number of pulsations which the individual is able to per form. Thus, if a man's life extends to seventy years, and his heart throbs sixty tunes each mi nute, the whole number of its pulsations will amount to 2,207,520,000 ; but if, by intern perence, or any other cause, he raises the pulse to seventy-five in a minute, the same number of pulsations would be completed in fifty-six years, and the duration of life abbreviated fourteen years. Arguing from these facts, he alleges, that sleep has a tendency to prolong life, as, dur ing its continuance, the pulsations are less nu merous than in the waking state. There is a sort of theoretical truth in this statement, but it is liable to be modified by so many circum stances, that its application can never become ge neral. If this were not the case, it would be natural to infer, that the length of a man's life would correspond with that of his slumbers, whereas it is well known, that too much sleep debilitates the frame and lays the foundation of various diseases, which tends to shorten instead of extending its duration. The persons who sleep most, are those who require the least of this indulgence. These are the wealthy and luxurious, who pass nearly the half of their ex istence in slumber, while the hardworking pea sant and mechanic, who would seem, at first sight, to require more than any other class of society, are contented with seven or eight hours of repose—a period brief in proportion to that expended by them in toil, yet sufficiently long for the wants of nature, as is proved by the strength and health which they almost uniformly enjoy. More sleep is requisite, for the reasons already stated, in winter than in summer. Were there even no constitutional causes for this dif ference, we would be disposed to sleep longer in the one than in the other, as many of the causes which induce us to sit up late and rise early in summer are wanting during winter, and we con sequently feel disposed to lie in bed for a longer period of time during the latter season of the year.—Macnish's Philosophy of Sleep. THE LATE MR. CHA MBERS.---All unpleasant controversy has occurred respecting the disposal of the remains of the above gentleman. It was intended that his funeral should have taken place at the Protestant burial ground, but the authorities of the country would not permit it, upon • the plea that he was a Roman Catholic. An appeal war.made,to the British authorities here, but hitherto w ithout any result. The body remains at the Quinta d e Basso, inclosed in a leaden coffin, und er the surveillance of the police. • _ IN CORRODIBLE ARTIFICIAL TEETH FIXED ON THE PARISIAN PRINCIPLE, AND FILLING DECAYED TEETH WITH MINERAL SUCCE DANEUM.
