The Work which is now presented to the public is the result of very extended experience in a class of diseases and affec tions, which for some unaccountable reason have been either altogether overlooked, or treated with apathy, and almost in difference, by the of dinary practitioner. To en ter into the details of ' these affections, to point out their causes, and to mark the terrific consequences, social, moral, and physical, which are sure to follow from indulgence, in certain habits, would be entirely out of place in an advertisement. We have no hesitation, however, in saying that there is no member of society, by whom the book will not be found interesting, whe ther we consider such person to hold the relation of a PA RENT, a PRECEPTOR, or a CLERGYMAN. The PARENT, who beholds his beloved child pining away, and fast approaching to a premature grave, in consequence of some disease, which for want of a careful investigation of its real cause, has been set down to the score of consumption, will, on perusing this work be astonished to find that in nine tenths of the cases of young persons of both sexes, who perish of what is called pulmonary consumption, hart disease, tabes, &c., the sole and exclusive origin has been the indulgence in certain destructive habits, practised by youth much more fre quently than is at all suspected. The PRECEPTOR, also, who holds temporarily, at least the relation and responsibility of a parent, will, by perusing this work, be directed, and very much assisted in investigating and detecting the too often concealed practices so often introduced into schools, whereby the health and ultimately the lives of his pupils are sure to be compromised, unless the evil be checked in proper time. He will here find a clue to guide him through the intricate mazes of this moral labyrinth, and a standard whereby to judge, when delicacy of health should appear to attack any of his young charges, what the real cause of such attack may be, and thus he will be enabled to check the evil in its incipient state. The CLERGYMAN, in whose sacred character, is at once concentrated the twofold relation of parent and instructor, will here be directed as to the nature of those habits, to which youth is addicted; he will also be enabled to point outl. he disastrous consequences which are sure to follow from them, If not relinquished. Messrs. CURTIS and CO. are to be consulted daily at their residence, No. 7, Frith-street, Soho, from Ten till Three, and Five till Eight in the Evening; and Country Patients are re quested to be as minute as possible in the detail of their cases, —as to the duration of the complaint, the symptoms, age, ge neral habits of living, and occupation in life of the party ; the communication must be accompanied by the " usual Consulta tion Fee of 11.," without which no notice whatever can be taken of their application ; and in all cases, the most inviolable secrecy may be relied on.

T" INVISIBLE OPERATIVE VOICE CONDUCTOR, effected by the Messrs. S. and B. SOLOMONS, OPTICIANS and AURISTSto the ROYAL FAMILY, 39, ALBEMARLE-STRELT, PICCADILLY, by which thousands of deaf persons have been greatly bene fited, is the size of a seven-shilling piece, and when fixed into the cavity of the ear is soft and easy, and not more perceptible than having a piece of woolin its place, by which the faintest whisper at a public assembly is heard with distinctness. And defective VISION is brought to nature by the use of newly invented SPECTACLE LENSES; immediately they are placed before weak and imperfect eye-sight, either by day or candle light, every object becomes clear and distinct, and the most, minute particle is seen with great distinctness; by the use of which both the sight and hearing become much improved. The Messrs. S. and B. SOLOMONS disclaim all con nexion with persons of the same name, and the sale of am ber spectacles ; the pernicious use of amber spectacles being now well knlwn to the public, and the vendor being aware of it, he has therefore altered their name, by leaving out the word " Amber," and calling them " Patent. Spectacles." Those which he terms " Patent Spectacles" are no other than those of amber ; the history and destructive use of that mate rial for Spectacles to imperfect vision is fully and most satis factorily explained by the undermentioned scientihe authority : _ _ _ - . From the " Dictionary of Arts and Sciences" of Andrew tire, F.R. S., &c., &c. 44 Amber is an indurated vegetable juice, and not produced by the laws of crystallisation, but by the same causes which influence the mechanical condition of gum. Insects are often found embedded in it. Amber is most powerfully electrical by friction—very hot, to such an extent as to explode into frag ments ; 013 workmen, too, are subject to nervous tremors in their wrists, arms, &c. ; they encounter great danger by handling such dreadful excited electries ; amber grows with lime, and is apt to take fire, and is of such a soft nature when exposed to warmth, that it swells, bubbles up, and will burn away with flame." The above Dr. Ure's statements are further confirmed by Sir D. Brewster and Pliny, as also by Parks and llerns, on Che mistry. The destructive effects of such a material for specta cles, to imperfect vision, may be ascertained at any respectable Optician's in London. The Messrs. Solomons' newly invented Spectacle Lenses are not constructed of such a material ; but which are very supe rior, and bring back at once dimness of sight and imperfect vision to its original and natural state. These Spectacles, and very small Voice Conductors for deaf persons, are .:r.ly to be bad at their establishments, 39, Albemarle-street (opposite the King Williamstreet, Bank.

THE VESTA PATENT STOVE, 70s. plain. That a Madeira climate in England may be produced by the VESTA STOVE, plants of the most tender kind requiring warmth have proved ; in sick rooms it has been found invalu able, producing one even degree of temperature throughout the day and night. The Vesta Stove has no doors, and as there is not any fire in contact with the outer case, warmth is ob tained without any of the unpleasant effects complained of in the use of others. The fire can be kept alight the whole season, and the part containing the fire is not open during the time it is replenished with fuel. The fuel passes from the Hod into the Stove without being seen, preventing entirely any escape of the noxious vapours, and that annoyance from dust which, in feeding•_other stoves, arises from tae fuel being removed from the Hod into the Stove, or what is worse, into a funnel to convey it, into the stove. The ashes are removed without causing any dirt or dust ; no raking out with portable rakers, or the hands, being necessary ; tnd during their removal from the interior of the Stove they are not visible. The cost for fuel (cinders, coke, or Welch coal) will be about twopence for twenty-four hours, during which time the stove will not require attention. The VESTA STOVES are perfectly free from all liability to explosions and such unpleasant consequences as have been met with in the use of Arnott's. A variety of sizes and patterns are made with ascending and descending flues, in iron and earthenware, suitable for warming apartments of every descrip tion, Churches, Ships' Cabins, &c. The Stoves may be seen in use at RIPPON and BURTON'S Warehouses, Wells-street, Oxford-street. A List of Prices and a number of references and testimonials will be sent in answer to a post-paid application. --..mummodefflrlatiEMANlCAWOsV CRIMINAL JURISPRUDENCE TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sia,—The subject of criminal jurisprudence is at present peculiarly important and attractive from the admitted fact that all the new-fangled methods of punishment— solitary confinement, the silent system, transportation, the tread-wheel, have as completely failed to check the commission of crime as the older practices of mutilation and putting to death. I trust, therefore, that you will allow me to request public attention, through your jour nal, to a somewhat novel doctrine put forth in some re cent numbers of the Spectator. A 'writer in that journal, which is publishing a series of his letters, proceeding on the phrenological principle that the brain is the organ of the mind, asserts that every kind of crime, like insanity, is only a disease of that organ, to be cured, if possible, like'other diseases, by moral or medical treatment, and like insanity should be exempted from punishment. To treat criminals with care and caution, to lay them under restraint, such as madmen are subjected to, is required on this system, but punishment is repudiated. The arguments in favour of this view are stated in the Spectator at: considerable length, and with considerable force ; and without the smallest intention of puffing the writer, of whom I know nothing whatever, I hope I may be allowed to say that in the present state of criminal jurisprudence they are worthy of being studied and sifted. _ I am not about to undertake any such task, but I wish to call attention to one passage in the Spectator of last Saturday. The writer alluded to says— " Between man and man, however different their relative situations may be, nothing but love should ever subsist. He who lives in the practice of religion and virtue should not look even upon one who is staggering in the wild intoxica tion of crime with any other feelings than the love and pi y which the sad fate of a brother should awaken—love icr him as a fellow man possessing the same capabilities of an eternal destiny, liable to the same sulictierW and shar ing all, misused, neglected, conflicting though they be, the same inherent feelings. If we could cure the evil dis positions of men without the infliction of any pain what ever, it would be our duty to hail the opportunity of doing so, instead of looking out eagerly, as we now do, for the means of inflicting punishment long before we have satis fied ourselves that the punishment will produce improve ment. As the Creator has established a system whereby pain must be suffered as the consequence of disobedience of his laws, he has not left this penalty to be inflicted by the ignorant hand of men, but has provided that in the natural order of things it shall inevitably. .follow, and in fact arise out of the offence itself: Man, therefore, has nothing to do with punishnient—this has been provided for by his Crea tor ; but although it cannot be averted after an act of dis obedience, we may lessen the future weight of human misery by arresting the offender in his wrongful career, and preventing him from adding, by the commission of new offences, to the amount of pain which he is already destined to endure." Without questioning the truth of this passage, for the same conclusion has been dravtf from other prin ciples than those of phrenology, and before that science, if it be a science, was framed, I wish to ask through your Pages e•lietlier . the writer and whether the editor of the Spectator be aware of all its vast and important bearings? If it be true that the Creator has provided pain as a punishment for disobedience to his laws ; that it invariably follows every disobedience ; that his laws regulate everything material and immaterial ; and that punishment is not left to be inflicted by the ignorant hand, or the instrumentality of man ; if punishment in variably follows every offence, and arises out of it, then the whole fabric of criminal jurisprudence must fall at once to the ground. It is based on the theory that the Creator bas not provided for every offence of which man may be guilty, an appropriate punishMent, and according to the theory in the Spectator, must he wholly unnecessary. The assertion I have quoted roots out and scatters to the wind every vestige of a foundation for crimi nal jurisprudence. Are the writer and the editor of the Spectator prepared to adopt that conclus sion ? If not, why does one write, and the other publish without a warning or an expre ss i on o f di ssen t, do e with ifdttah.b ei p rsi u pTc n coh i owo s en h fet m rrriaog e rih n y. t tt — h oteori politicalpf aris tocracy, hoo such lr a m s a w n e i e ja p v in e g n d o o th et in ri g ne t . o toc' inflicting o l t n h m e t v u g h t e u y, cplw m aiee u rtt s syy t o—wf n not t thl ael esnaofls Creator—thei tt c ui t nm i o t b — k our er the existence .of the State Church, the whole of the taxes, are all based on the right of the State to enforce its will by inflicting punishment, and on its actual infliction.

Political society is de pendent on criminal jurisprudence, and to abolish punishment is to abolish political society; Has the writer, and has the editor ever contemplated this cer tain consequence of his doctrine. These may be said to be its worldly effects; but would i t not b e e qually fatal to oar religi on ? Tliat is founded on the supposition that men aro not properly and adequately punished and rewarded in this world; it supposes and declares that here everything is imperfect, and requires another life to make it perfect ; that here everything is crooked, and there will be set straight. According to the writer in the Spectator•, every action is here properly rewarded and punished by the laws of the Creator, and the whole fabric of the Christian reli- gion, as well of political society, fails before the asser tion I have quoted. I repeat, that I do not call in question its truth, but I think the editor of the respectable and careful Journal which publishes it should be required to state whether be be aware of the important bearings of the doctrines he publishes, and whether he be ready to stand by them. At present they have his silent sanction, which may lead other men the more readily to embrace them. I beg, Sir, through your pages, to call on the writer and the editor to speak out. Are they ignorant of the logical consequences of what they teach, or arc they Fifth-monarchy men, who believe in the all-pervading, all-sufficient, unceasingly active government of the world by its Creator, which makes all human government unnecessary, and convinces us that it is futile and absurd? I am, Sir, your obedient servant, AN OBSERVER. TEETOTALIsx_GRosS MISRE PRESENTATION. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sir—My attention has just been called to a paragraph in your paper of Monday evening, in which I am the any man t o p su bject of as vile a calumny as ever was fabricated.

Yesterday Mr. Car ter, a surgeon, w ho had opened the b o d y o f d ecease d, said he had found all the internal organs healthy, with the exception of the vessels of the brain, all of which were gorged with blood, and one of which was ruptured. Three ounces of coagulated blood were found extravasated on the brain, the result of extreme excitement. Iu the sur geon's opinion death resulted from natural causes. Ver dict—Died by t h e visitation of God. The Coroner com municated the verdict to Mr. Broughton, in order that East might be relieved from his recognizances. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. MANCHESTER--TUESDAY EVENING. Nothing has been done to require the slightest obser vation for the past day or two. This forenoon the offers on the Derby field were 17 to 1 ; a few bets were made on outside horses, and 15 to 1 in scores and tens laid against the Duke of Wellington and Eringo. Offers to couple Eringo and Marshal Soult were freely given, but no one would say " done." There was an effort made to intro duce the St. Leger ; but we only heard one bet, 200 to 10 v. Tory-boy. COUNTRY POST.OFFICES. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SIR, —I wish to offer a hint to the directors of ..the Post-office service, which I humbly imagine would con stitute a salutary check upon the extortion and inso lence of their subs, much needed, I assure you, in order to make the system of cheap postage work smoothly. i In some towns the post-office is closed at an early hour in the :norning. This brings a handsome swoop of extra pennies to the postmaster from parties living at the m o r e distant parts of the town, whose clocks and watches are not always corresponding with that arbitra rily in use at the post-office. Why not require a public timepiece to be fixed over each post-office ? Who so proper as the postmaster in each town (whose official time bills ought to be regulated by London time), to take charge of a sound, well-going public dial, by which his own department would be regulated. As it is, the arbitrary power of the d e puty-postryaster is equalled only by that of the Captain of a shi p , who " makes it 12 o'clock" whenever he pleases ; so does the post master make it kali an hour e arlier or later, and gains ss. to 10s. profit thereby per day in extra pence. I also complain of the discreditable disregard of public convenience in allowing the post-office to be conducted in ill-situated unsuitable premises. If one person will not provide a proper place, another should be appointed who would, and not let public convenience be bartered for political or personal patronage. In one town in my circuit the post-office is down a long dark passage, where pickpockets and robbers might act with perfect impunity. In another the post-office is situated in an open alley, of great length, one end of which is towards the sea. There do we stand egpnsed from 10 to 9.0 minutes, with the current of air blowing with prodigious force, until the tardy and contemptuous official conde scends to come from the remote interior of his dwelling to answer the knock of the shivering applicant at the window. There is no consideration of providing even a shed covering for us poor wretches, who meet coughs, fevers, and death in the current of wind driven between two high walls with the force of a blast furnace. If we have union houses established at the public cost, why not have offices erected for the public' convenience in every place where the public can afford to pay for it ? Or rather, why not make it contingent on the office itself, that the holder thereof shall have a place afford ing the needful accommodation of centrality, shelter, and adaptation ?—Your's respectfully, AN OLD ROADSTER. Yesterday evening the fourth anniversary of the South London' Auxiliary of the Total Abstinence Society, was held at the Borough-road Chapel, B. Patch, Esq in the chair. An excellent and lengthy report of the labours of the Society for the past year was read, which stated their numbers to have increased upwards of 300 during that period, and detailing numerous instances of reforma tion of a very useful and,encouraging nature. The meet ing was eloquently addressed by the Chairman, the Rev. Messrs. S ovell, Burns, Baker, and Whitty ; Messrs. Meredith, Gregg, Smith, &c., and was numerously attended by members of the Society and others. SUDDEN DEATH IN SCOTLAND.—On Tues day evening, a young woman, named Mary Butler, twenty years of age, while sitting at a table sewing, suddenly leant her head forward, and on being raised, life was found to be extinct. A surgeon at the Coroner's inquest attri buted her death to a poplexy.—Glasgoto Courier. On Saturday night a young woman, a serval:t, was observed to fall down while walking in Canongate, Edinburgh. She was lifted up and carried into a surgeon's shop in the neighbourhood, where it was discovered that life was quite extinct,—Culedomun Mercury. LITERATURE HORACE WALPOLE'S LETTERS, VOL. VI. Bentley, London, 1840. Horace Walpole's Correspondence is now brought to a close, and a completer edition of his incompa rable Letters, or one more sure in the long run to achieve an extensive popularity, has not yet been given to the world. On many curious points in the domestic history of the last century it throws quite a new light—such, for instance, as the destrtiction of George the First's will, which hitherto has been generally attributed to the instigation of Sir Robert Walpole, but which his son has now so fully explained as to prove the entire innocence of the great Whig Pre mier. We have several peeps behind the curtain, too, at the various Ministries that rose and fell in succession about the middle of the last century ; and from these brief insights that Walpole gives us, our respect for politicians—whether as regards their principles or talents—is by no means increased ; but on the contrary, we are frequently tempted to exclaim with Chancellor Oxenstiern, " See, with how little wisdom this world is governed I" Prefixed to the present volume, we find a de fence of Horace Walpole from the attacks made on him by Mr. Macaulay in a late number of the Edinburgh Review. This defence is from the pen of a lady who knew him well, and who was one of his favourite correspondents ; and we have no other fault to find with it, than that it is too panegyrical. Great stress is laid on the extreme unaffectedness of Walpole's character; but those who read his Letters with attention—we allude more particularly to those which he addressed to eminent literary contemporaries—will find that affectation was one of his besetting sins. His constant expression of indifference to fame, even while he was printing his Works at his own Strawberry-hill press, in or der that they might appear to the greatest advan tage, and in the correctest manner ; his avowed contempt for the opinions of critics, when he more than once unconsciously exhibits himself writhing under their lash, especially in the Chatterton affair ; his dislike of being consi dered an author, whet the whole tenor of his Letters proves—despite his own disclaimers—that to be a successful one, was the darling and ill-disguised object of his ambition ; his Gothic show-box at Twickenham, with its grotesque collection of knic knackeries, which was one of the modes he adopted for fixing men's attention to his proceedings ; his would-be lofty inattention to the civilities ofCrowned Heads and their' 'families,. when he minutely. chro nicles every visit and compliment they paid him ; all these facts, which we gather from his own Letters, wherein he has pourtrayed his character more accurately than he seems to have been aware of, convince us that Horace Walpole was one of the most affected aristocrats of the very af fected age in which he lived. As for Miss Berrys' statement, that his " capacity for sincere affection continued unenfeebled by age," we have only to turn for an unanswerable reply to this as sertion, to his Letter, now for the first time pub lished, addressed to this lady herself, in which, after mentioning the death of George Selwyn—his friend of nearly forty years' standing—he starts off, in the very next sentence, to tell a laughable story about Caroline Vernon I No word of regret fo r the loss of one of his oldest and most intimate com panions. " Poor Selwyn is gone !" is all he says ; and then comes his joke, which is so admirably told, that we feel satisfied that he thought much more of that, than of his friend. Our impression of Walpole's character is, that he was a shrewd, clever fop—a fop in literature—a fop in politics—a fop in the fine arts—a fop in all the social relations of life. His self conceit, however, could never have been offensive, but, tempered by good breeding, must have sate easily and gracefully upon him, or. he would never have been such a favourite in the circles of rank and fashion. That he was a keener observer than the world has generally given him credit for being, is evi dent from his Letters dated from Paris, wherein he predicted the advent of that great political hurricane which soon after swept over the face of Europe. When to this we add that he has inexhaustible vi vacity, but not wit ; elegance, but not vigour of style ; varied, but not profound, information ; Ca paciey, but not genius ; and no more heart than usually fallerto: theiot of those who-have moved all their'livesin the polished btit' attifidiatl Circles .of the aristocracy, we have said all that we feel justified in saying, whether in praise or depreciation of his qua lities as an author and a man. Sir Charles Grey, however, entertains a far higher notion of Walpole's powers of mind than we feel ourselves warranted in entertaining, for in a letter to the Editor, which follows Miss Berry's short biographical notice, he has mooted the point whether or not he was Junius. Our unhesitating opinion is, that he was not. In the first place, he had not sufficient energy of mind and strength of invective ; and, secondly, there are very many pas sages in Junius's Philippics which it is utterly im possible that Horace Walpole, with his aristocratic ideas, could ever have written. Is it likely, for in tance, that he could have penned this sentence, which occurs in one of the famous Letters to the Duke of Grafton ?—" When I think how much is due to the sacred person of his Majesty, I cannot with propriety call your Grace the meanest and basest person in the kingdom !" Surely no well tutored, constitutional Whig could ever have brought himself to allude in this insolent, democratic manner to his Sovereign I Again, Junius—as he himself assures us in his letter to Horne Took—was habitually a slow, pains-taking writer; Walpole was a rapid, and frequently a negligent one. The former touched and retouched, condensing, amplifying, and enriching his Phillippics, till:they satisfied his fastidous notions of excellence ; the latter threw off his best things at a heat, and cared little for expres sion, provided the idea was smart or striking. Junius abounds in metaphor ; Walpole is unusu ally sparing of it. The one bears down all before him by sheer force of style, he is nothing if not epigrainatic and antithetical ; the other produces effect solely by the familiar, unconstrained play of his vivacity. Junius's main characteristic is ner vous energy ; that of Walpole sportive elegance. Junius is a stern, grave, ruthless savage, who butchers and mangles his enemies with a tomahawk ; Walpole is a laughing, dexterous fencer, who pinks them, like Mercutio, with his rapier. But the most marked distinction between these two cele brated writers, remains to be noticed. Junius was was at heart a democrat, verging indeed upon a re publican ; Walpole was a steady, thorough-going, constitutional Whig, who—like the Whigs of his day—had few real sympathies in common with the people. We cannot, therefore, agree with Sir Charles Grey, that " Horace Walpole had a prin cipal share in the composition and publication of the letters of Junius ;" though we will readily ad mit that he has argued the question with uncommon ingenuity, and produced certain facts in corrobora tion of his theory which are exceedingly puzzling, and will startle many readers, whose minds are not yet made up on the subject. We proceed now to a consideration of the Letters contained in the volume before us. A hundred, at least, of these have never before been published, and not a few of them are among the liveliest and shrewdest that Wal pole ever wrote. They embrace a period of nearly nineteen years—that is to say, from 1778 to 1797, and touch, with their author's usual ready felicity, on almost every topic that interested Eng lish society during that busy period. s On the sub ject of the French Revolution—that bloody con vulsion which Walpole had predicted, and which he lived to see accomplished—the Letters are sineularly animated ; but it 'is curious to observe the ignorance which they everywhere show, respect ing the leading demagogues of Paris. More than once the writer expresses his astonishment that no man of genius or energy, with the sole exception of Mirabeau,liad appeared among the popular leaders ; vet at that very time, Vergniaud, Brissot, Roland, Condorcet, and Dauton — the terrible Denton ! were in the full plenitude of their power ! As was time case with many others of his party, the disturb ances of France had the effect of frightening Wal pole into Toryism ; and in this, to him novel, situ ation, he cuts, it must be confessed, several very fantastic capers. His Letters, however, on this momentous theme, which then absorbed the atten tion of every thinking man in the community, are infinitely diverting, if only for their frequent sallies of vivacity ; their shrewd guesses at motives and consequences ; and the exaggerated tone of alarm which they so often evince. The majority of them are addressed to the Miss Berrys, to whom, by the bye, the cleverest Letters in the volume are ad dressed. As for those which were written to Hannah More, there is a staid. formality about them by no means usual with the author; but we suppose that the lady's well-known character for piety kept him on his good behaviour. SKETCH OF THE LIFE OF M. TRIERS. The late Prime Minister of France is the son of a locksmith at Marseilles, beneath whose humble roof he first saw the light on the 16th of April, 1797. His mother belonged to an old commercial family, which, in the vicissitudes of time, had fallen into ex treme poverty ; and the young Louis Adolphe was placed by her relatives in the Imperial Lyceum of Marseilles, where he received the early part of his education. He is repented to have achieved many victories over his young competitors before the year 1815, when he proceeded to 'Aix for the purpose of pursuing the study of the law. There he formed his friendship with M. Mignet, afterwards the con cise and philosophic historian of the same event which has exercised his own talents. The two friends pursued a similar course of study, their favourite pursuits of literature, philosophy, and history, giving place to just so much of the digest and civil code as would enable them to pass their examinations. But M. Thiers, already the leader of a party among the students, became obnoxious to the Professors by his tirades against the Government of the Restoration, At Aix he took his degree as advocate, but disgusted with that sphere of action, he set off in company with his friend Mignet to seek h;s fortune in Paris. The following description of the abode of the future Presi dent of the Council will be read with interest : "It is several years ago since I climbed, for the first time, the innumerable steps of a gloomy building, situated at the bottom of the obscure and uncleanly alley de Mon tesquieu, in one of the most densely populated and deafening quarters of Paris. It was with a lively feel ing- of interest that I opened, on the fourth floor, the begrimed panels leading into a small chamber, which is worth the trouble of describing :—a low chest of drawers, a deal bed, curtains of white calico, two chairs, and a little black table, ricketty on its legs, composed the entire furnishing."* But Thiers was not a man to be crushed by obscu rity and poverty. He presented himself before, M. Manuel, shortly after that great: orator and popular idol had been violently expelled from the Chamber of Deputies, and offered him his services. Manuel Soon understood his value, and by an introduction to Laffitte, the young adventurer, was en rolled among the contributors to the Constitutionne/, then the leading Liberal organ. Eminently endowed with a capacity for literary warfare, he soon became distinguished for the vigour and hardihood of his ar ticles ; and as in France the occupation of a Journalist is regarded with an estimation proportioned to its in fluence over society, the young contributor speedily found himself the object of high consideration. He passed into the most brilliant circles of the Opposition, into the crowded saloons of Lafitte, Casimer Perier, the Count de Flahault, the Baron Louis, the great fi nancier of the era, and even of M. de Talleyrand, who, al beit fastidious in his company, is stated to have detected with his keen glance the capabilities of the briefness advocate. This introduction to society availed M. Thiers in facilitating the great undertaking upon which his eminence principally rests. Combin ing with a singular facility of composition an asto nishing memory, great fluency and tact in conversa tion, and an ad , mirable rapidity of comprehen sion, he found time to supply the exigencies of the daily press, to frequent drawing-rooms, to talk much, to hear more, and afterwards, in meditation and study, to adapt the fruit of his intercourse with actors in the grand revo lutionary drama—remnants of the constituent and legis lative Assemblies, the Convention, the Council of Five Hundred, the Legislative Body, and the tribunate, statesmen, generals:, diplomatists, and financiers — to promote and embellish his History of the French Revolution, upon which he had been for some time enga fed. At length that well-known and great work, "- The History of the French Re volution," made its appearance, and at once placed its author in the highest ranks of literary cele brity. The appeexance of his historical compila tion, its rapid progress in public esteem, and the fortunate gift of a share in the Constitutionnel, conferred upon him by an enthusiastic admirer, raised M. niers to compr xative affluence. Leaving his garret alley,Of Mont esquieu, be emerged at once as one of the most prominent ; me n in France, in the two paramount fields of literature r and politics. Growing discontented with the somewhr ,t antiquated tone of the Con stit utionuel, he es' ;ablished, in 1828, a new paper, more democratic in principles, called the National. In this journal an unrelenting war was waged against the Poli gnat Administration, which, often suppressing partic Aar numbers, and adopting other partial remedies against the galling stings of 'Thiers and his assistants—Armand Carrel, and some of the most talented rr en of the Liberal party—finally took the desperate measi ire of the ordinances of July. The revolution of 1830, the result thereof, is known to all. Under the new Government he was appointed Se cretary-General to the Minister of Finance, with out any official ti tle, but in the same year he re ceived the title oY Under-Secretary of State in the same depart oe nt to which he was already attached. At the same time, he was elected deputy for the town of Aix, his alma mater, and made his first appearance it the Chamber, where, however, be experienced an almos t universally unfavourable recep tion, probably from ee rtain personal peculiarities, over the effect of which he sc o n triumphed. In person, M.Thiers is almost diminutive, with an expression of countenance, though intellectual, reflective and sarcastic, far from pos. sessing the traits of beauty. Moreover, the face itself, small in form, as In tilts the body, is encumbered with a pair of spectacles to large that, when peering over the marble edge of the long narrow pulpit, yclept the tri bune, whence all speakers address the Chamber, it is described as api tearing suspended to the two orbs of crystal. Wit ;h such an exterior, presenting something of the ludicrous, so fatal to the effect, especially in volati it France, M. Thiers, full of the impassioned eloque ce of his favourite revolutionary orators, essayed to : impart those thrilling emotions re corded of Mirabeau. The attempt provoked derision, but only for a mom.e nt. In his new sphere, as in the others he had passed, through, he soon outshone compe tition. Subsiding i ato the oratory natural to him, simple, vigorous, aaut rapid, he approved himself one of the most formidable ,f Parliamentary champions. Following M. TEA ars in his political career, we find it chequered by the u 5 ual absorbing alterations of office and opposition. Fr 0 m the 11th of October, 1832, when the first Soult Cab inet was constructed, he continued a Minister, with one short interval, until the 25th August, 1836, in various capacities,—as Minister of the Interior, M mister of Commerce and Public Works, and Mi nister for Foreign Affairs,—under various chiefs : D larshal Snult, Gerard, Monier, and. Broglie ; and, fin: illy, under himself, nominated Presi dent of the Cot mil on the 22d day of February 1886. In Augus tof that year he passed into opposi tion, where he r eraained until again called by Louis Philippe, in the p re sent year 1840, to the premiership. In speaking of IV 1... Thiers' general attainments, we shall be brief. The me ,ref 'act of his position avouches his com manding eminen fi e, 1 :n competition with all the talents of his age, he has sum st ripped them all. Not that he is the first of orators, the : I egitimatist Berryer bears the palm ; not that he is the most profound thinker, for the doctri naire Guizot is the s more searching philosopher ; not that he is the most unl ) ending politician, for the ultra-Liberal Odillon-Barrot i s more stern and consistent. But Thiers comprehe ads his country men better ; can adapt himself better to men and. things ; and though, perhaps, about the last man to lay down his life for a principle, his origin, his sympathies, his whole cart .er, identify him with the great majority of the • s ati, m. Thus, with his undoubted abi lities, he beco. to influential deputy and a popular minister.

This league to consist of country bankers. That when the old hag refuses paper better than her own ; and, also, when her Directors raise the interest to enrich herself, and rob trade and commerce of 2 or 3 per cent., and, by so doing, cause a ruinous panic among all classes: when this is done all the l'anke'rs of the league bind themselves to send in all the " Oid Lady's" paper on a given day, and put an end to her robberies and monopoly for ever. You will see at once that the country banker/ can manage the Direc tors if the merchants cannot ; but I see no reason why the wealthiest merchants may not be members. In deed, it is thought the originators of it will invite as many as will ensure two millions in paper on any given morning. I am, Sir, your obedient Servant, Bolton, Nov. 10, 1840. R. W. CAPTAIN REYNOLDS. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Six—lt is only justice to the friend of Captain J. W. Reynolds, of the 11th Hussars, to state, that it was in his cause Mr. Harvey interested himself—not in that of Mr. R. A. Reynolds, the now subservient and obedient craven of the Horse Guards, and his newly-acquired friend, Lord Cardigan. That the letter that person has written will clear the way to his being replaced on full pay of his rank, there can be now no doubt ; that is the price of his letter l But it is to be expected that he will be sent back to the 11th Hussars, as the corps most worthy of him, and that no other regiment will be insulted by having him foisted upon then', which would inevitably lead to disunion, for no corps of cavalry officers would willingly associate with such a person.—Your most obedient servant, H N ESTUS. ORIGINAL DOCUMENT OF ~ THE CONFESSION OF FAITH OF THE KIRK OF SCOTLAND." We have been favoured by Mr. John Henderson, bookseller, of this town, with an opportunity of inspect ing a very curious original document, of no small inte rest in an historical point of view, and to the descend ants of the Covenanters full of associations with the ve nerated memories of their ancestors. It is no other than one of the originals of " The Confession of Faith of the Kirk of Scotland ; or the National Covenant." The following particulars relative to this covenant, and to the particular document in question, will perhaps best explain its nature : The first National Covenant or " King's Confession," as it was then called, was drawn up by John Craig, chaplain to James VI. by the King's command; and, having been first signed by the King and his HouseleAd (in 1580) as an example, was afterwards, by an Order of Council, and an Act of the General Assembly, sub scribed by the Nobility, the Clergy, and all ranks throughout the kingdom (in 1581, and again in 1590.) It was renewed with additions applicable to the then emergency—when Charles 1., under the direction of the Lord Archbishop of Canterbury, attempted to thrust on the unwilling people of Scotland a hierarchy and service-book similar to those of the Church of England —and subscribed with great solemnity by all ranks on the Ist of March, 1638, in the Grey Friar's church, Edinburgh ; a copy was sent to each county favourable to the reformed relig,ion• and presbyterian form of church government, where it was embraced with zeal ; many opening a vein, and writing their names with their blood. The document we are about to describe—and which wa understand will probably be placed in a glass-case, for inspection at the next (Christmas) exhibition of the Mechanics' Royal Institution, Salford—is the original " Confession of Faith for the burgh and county of Peebles." It is upon a large skin of very strong, thick vellum, and, although preserved with great care and veneration, in successive generations of the descendants of covenanters, bears evident marks of the " tooth of time." It was bequeathed by will from one possessor to another, and in this way came into the possession of a respected covenanting minister, the late Rev. Thomas Henderson, of Kilmalcolm, Ren frewshire (father of Mr. Henderson, of this town), who guarded it with the most jealous care, refusing the offer of a very large sum for it, for the purpose of its being placed in the British Museum, and declaring that it should descend as an heir-loom to his family. The be quest by the preceding possessor is noted on the back of 1 the deed, by an indorsement in the following terms : This was left by the deceased Gavin Veitch, at-Pee bles, to Tho. Henderson, Dissenting Minister, to be de livered by his wife after his death, and came to hand on the 18th of August, 1802." Mr. Henderson was so careful of this document that he kept it under double locks ; and when once induced to intrust it to a friend at a distance, he took for its safe return a formal bond, one of the conditions of which was, that it should not be forwarded as a coach parcel, but delivered back by the borrower into the bands of the lender. The document itself is endorsed, in engrossing hand, " The Confession of Faith for the burgh of Pebles, 1638."—Within, it has the following title and explana toryK i Kingis ;1 9 3 o h lu t e i c a e j, : o a n n f d es t s h io e n ho o o f se F li a o i , t d h io su 3, b .o se ) r e } r i e )it o , f first God b i y ss t o lie ; thereafter by personnes of all ranks in ye yere of God 1581, by ordinance of the Lords of secret C'sall [council] and actis of the gn'all assemblie : Sub't again by all sortis of personnes in ye yore of God 1.590, by anc new ordinance of the Lords of secret Coleman and actis of gn'all assemblie : Sub't againe by all sortis of personnes in the yore of God 1591, by ane new ordinance of counsall et ye desyre of ye gn'all assemblie ; with ane gn'all bond for maintenance of ye true religionn and of ye kingis ma'tie ; and now sub't in ye yere of God 1638 by we, noblemen, barronnes, gen tlemen, burgess's, ministers and commones, under sub scryvenned ; togidder with ace resolution and promis, for the causs's expressit, to maintain the true religionn, and the Kingis ma'tie, according to the confession frsa [aforesaid] and actis of Parlia't. The termer wherof tollowes :—" [The confession itself is engrossed very closely and in a small hand, and occupies the greater part of the sheet of vellum. It would fill seven or eight Bvo. pages ; and as it has been published, and may be referred to in the book of the Confession of Faith, by those who are interested in it, we shall not trouble our readersi even with an abstract of its contents.] The document under notice is of course chieffy curi ous for the signatures of the nobles, gentry, and minis ters of the county of Peebles, of the period in question. Of these there are considerably more than a hundred. The first is that of (Earl) Rothes, the second " Mon trose," is that of the celebrated James Graham, Mar quis of Montrose, who was beheaded twelve years afterwards, —having abandoned the covenant which he thus signed ; and supported the cause of the Pre tender and of his son, in the memorable rebellion of 1648. Next follow the signatures of various nobles in the order in which we transcribe them :—(Earl) Ben toun ; (Earl) Cassilis ; (Earl) Home ; (Earl) Drum langrig ; (Lord) Montgornerie ; (Lord) Yester ; (Earl) Wemyss, Boyd, Fleming (Earl of Wigton), (Baron) Forrester, (Lord) Balcarres, (an illegible signature, probably Johnstoun) ; Balmerino, Lindesay, (a doubt ful signature, probably Elcho), Fraser, and (a second) Lindesay. Then commence the signatures of the gen try and ministers. The first is " Murray of Blak barrony," and amongst them are " Patrick Douglas, Arthur Erskene, Walt. Swintoun, Mr. [Minister] at Swintoun, Mr. Will. Arthur, West Kirk, Jno. Provost of Peebles, Pa. Thomsone, baillie ; [then fol low the signatures of several councillors, the treasurer, commissioners, &c.] Amongst the signatures are those of several burgesses of Peebles and Fife ; and one signs J. Peter, Comisnr. of Peebles ;" another " James —, burgess of Fife and Pebels." Several signatures are 1" for Rutherglen," for " Kircutlbright." One of the last signatures appears to be " M. Dickeson, Glen -1 holme." ofAvv hp yipci rshyciwas a t On the upper part of the other side of the skin is an endorsement, oi,vl6,a39nt h .” eaded " For the burgh of Pebles , in within n n fwolrloititvetnlieab ar ticleea . ye first subscriptions referred to ye de terminationvitlic(lnvtll're.'surrbbscrey tr. of ye generall assemblie, being now deter mined, at the fyve in December, 1638, and yairbyk by ye fyve articles of Perth, ye govern ment of yo kir bi3chops bring declared to be a bjured and removed, and ye civil places and power of kirkmen declared un lawfull, we subserybe according to ye determination of ye said lawfull and Me gencrall assembie, holdin at Glasgow."—Then follow the signatures of the muni cipal officers of the burgh , of Peebles, though they were already previously signed within the document, viz.:—John --, p rovost ; Pa.
