AFACT FOR PHYSIOLOGISTS !—lt is a singular fact that In this enlightened age and country tl'e treatment usually adopted by the Faculty, in cases of Dyspepsia (Di dijestion), is the result of a false theory, indicating a lamentable ignorance of the Physiology of the Stomach and Digestive Organs • and is in most instances calculated to establish and confirm the ma lady it is intended to remove. The Secretary of the Nottingham Botanic Institute will feel a pleasure in forwarding (free) to all applicants the excellent Botanic Remedy for Indigestion, Bilious and Liver Complaints. relently dis coy:red by Professor Webster, of Philadelphia, and communicated to the Institute by that distinguished Botanist. The Medical Re form society (at whose cost these announcements appear) wish it to be frantly and distinctly understood, that they will not, in any shape, nor und, r any circumstances whatever, accept any contribu tion, fee, or gratuity for this recipe ; the object of the society being to demonstrate the superiority of the Botanic over every other prac tice of medicine, and in return only desire that those who may be signally benefltted by it, will forward to the society a statement of the case, and thus aid with facts in accelerating the present move ment in favour of Medical Reform.—Enclose directed envelope to the Secretary, Botanic Institute, Nottingham.

BY SAMUEL LA'MERT, M.D. 87, BEDFORD SQUARE, LONDON, Matriculated Member of the University of Edinburgh, Honorary Member of the London Hospital Medical Society, Licentiate of Apothecaries' Hall, London, &c., &c. he essential object of this treatise is to point out the fearful con sequences resulting from certain habits, irregularities, and excesses, which have produced more misery in Youth, degradation in Man hoed, and premature decay at all stages of life, than, perhaps, any other class of disease known to modern pathologists. Its perusal is particularly recommended to persons entertaining secret doubts of their physical condition, and who are conscious of having hazarded the b.elth, happiness, and privileges to which every human being is (Battled. It is absolutely necessary that all men should know that there are rinciples of personal management which cannot be violated with out incurring grievous penalties, and when wisdom and regret suc ceed the heyday of inconsiderate self-indulgence, how those penalties may be mitigated, how the sting of their bitterness may he removed, and how the evil and its consequences may be avoided, and, above all, that there is scarcely any degree of physical infirmity or functional derangement to which the timely aid of science cannot apply a cure.

A heavy gale was experienced here yesterday, which continued with great violence through- Out the night. The Great Western Docks have sustained considerable damage. The dock gate has been dashed in, mid it is . said will be completely destroyed. Extensive injuries have also been re ceived by the Millbay Pier and capacious pontoon, situate at the entrance of the docks. The Brazilian frigate Marinheiro, lying in the Sound, was driven from her moorings for.upwaids of two miles, but was ultimately brought up in Frie , tone Bay, with but trifling damage.' The weather this morning has moderated con siderably. TEE RISE IN THE RATE OF DISCOUNT. (Prom the Times' City Article) The Bank of England have advanced their rate of discount from 51 per cent., at which it had stood since the 16th July, to 6 per cent. The suddenness of the .renewed drain of gold which has led to this step has taken the public by surprise, because they were not prepared for the extraordinary news by the two last American mails. Allowing due weight to that intelligence, there is nothing in the movement to create alarm, although there is a high probability it may s o on h ave t o b e repeated. The trade of this country with the United States represents an annual total of 40,000,0001 , and it is impossible for any financial trouble to occur on one side without its being deeply - felt on 'ho other. During the last two years we have had many opportunities of observing the sensitiveness with which we respond to monetary perturbations in France, but•our relations of commerce and capi tal with that country are altogether insignificant in comparison. A panic in New York, therefore, which sends the rate of discount to a point ranging between 20 and 50 per cent., and which is continued with intensity for five or six weeks, must necessarily subject us to severe temporary pressure ; and if the inconvenience should. be limited to a rise of a half or even one per cent. in the value of money we shall have reason to congratulate ourselves, and to accept the fact as another prof of the inherent soundness of our general position. For more than a month past not only has every payment due to us from America been as far as possible suspended, but spe cial credits have been eagerly made use of, calls on rail way stocks largely held here have been announced (in one case alone for an an amount apprOachin , a quarter of a m illi on s t er lin g ), an d draughts authorised for the purchase of securities by English capitalists, tempted by a fall in prices, om which they conceive there cannot _ fail to be an early reaction. It is scarcely too much to assume that in this way a million or a million and a half sterling has been already with hold or absorbed from us, that would otherwise ! have been in our possession at this moment, and the prospect is that the process will go on for some time longer. It must also be considered that at the same period we have been despatching the most c )stly fleet of transports ever em pl o y e d a t one mo ment with thirty or forty thousand troops to India, the outlay upon which in the shape of stores, fuel, arc., cannot have fallen much short of half a mil lion, for which we shall get nothing until the re turn of the vessels from Calcutta, as the payments from the Indian Government will not be made till a certain number of days after the arrival of the vessels at that port. The India-house, at home, moreover, in order to lighten as far as possille the liabilities of the territorial Go vernment, are abstaining from drawing the usual amount of revenue required from that side for the payment of dividends and other purposes, and have thus found it necessary to borrow a million from the Bank. Upon the whole, the- efore, it is possible that the combined operation of the American panic and the Indian insurrection may for the time have affected our resources to the extent of two or three millions. A decline of-about a million in the bullion of: the Bank is usually followed by an advance of a half per cent. in the rate of discount. It would consequently seem that these adverse influences, as they have borne upon us to three times that amount, might have caused a rise of one-and-a half per cent., and that it is only through some favour able counteracting circumstances that that result has been delayed or prevented. These are to be found in the abundant harvest and the change in the silk-market, as we ll as i n the supplies of Indian produce, which has in some degree diminished the specie shipments by the last and the precedine- Overland mail. Had the relief thus afforded hap'- pened in ordinary course, we should now, probably, have seen the rate of discounts 4 per cent. As it is, it has simply enabled us to limit the rise for the present, at all events, to 6, instead of carrying it to 7 per cent. Under these circumstances, this is no small satisfaction ; but there is reason to believe that, even if further stringency should be expe rienced, we are not in any danger of seeing the ap pro:iching winter ushered in by a very extensive series of commercial disasters. Of course, the American failures must have told heavily on indi vidual houses on this side, and there are also seve ral branches of costly produce which have, expe rienced wide fluctuations that may disturb th casual fortune of speculators. There are likewise at all times a number of infirm establishments carrying on their business from hand to mouth, to whom a rise of a half per cent, in the rate of dis count after any long period of pressure is an inevi table sentence of destruction, and it is usually at the end of the year that such cases are developed. But as regards the broad trade of the empire, it is impossible to discern a cause of fear. Month by month our commercial payments increase in magni tude, and yet are met with a punctuality never sur passed, and all the leading bankers will testify that, thus far, there is an absence even of those promo niJory symptoms which invarially warn them of the possibility of a coming struggle long before the community at large have become awakened to it. Hence the belief may be confidently indulged that, although with our universally diffused transactions we must necessarily participate in every shock that occurs elsewhere—and there never was a time when prudence was more essential—our commercial pros perity, notwithstanding the sepoy mutiny, is des tined still to continue a marvel to the world. SERVICES FOR THE DAY OF HumuzimoN.—Of the printed services appointed to be read on the day of humi liation 1,000 copies were printed and prepared for the bilhope and other dignified clergy of the Church of Eng land; 49,000 for the use of the parochial clergy. Of the copies taken off in a cheap form for public sale, 1,100,000 copies were sold at the rate of 2s. 6d. per 100 to the trade, and 3s. 6d. per 100 to the clergy for distri bution. One adventurous speculator at the Crystal Palace purchased 4;000 copies, expecting to make a profit among Mr. Spurgeon's audience, but was disap pointed in th e resu lt, an d upwar d s of 3,000 have been returned by him to the Queen's printers. Of the other copies specially prepared for the occasion, two were done up in black velvet for the use of the Queen and the Prince Consort, and one in black morocco for each mem ber of tie Royal Family. For the Prince of Wales was reserved the peculiar distinction of baring one copy elegantly bound in black, with a translation into Welsh on the opposite page. A DVS aIaSSM SST.

REPRESENTATION OF GREENWICIff. MR. TONVNSEND AND HIS CONSTITUENTS Last evening a crowded public meeting of the electors of the borough of Greenwich was held at the Duke of Sussex Tavern, Woolwich, in order to hear an address from Mr. Townsend, M.P. The chair was occupied by Mr. Eugene Murray, who observed that the efforts of Mr. Townsend's friends had removed all doubts as to a vacancy in the representation of the borough. The proceedings in bankruptcy had been annulled, and it now only remained for the electors to persevere and maintain Mr. Townsend in his position, as one who had sprung from their own class, who under stand their local wants, and who had proved by his votes that he was an honest and unflinching re former. Mr. TOWNSEND, M. P. , was received with re peated cheers. e observed, a few weeks since he could not have hoped for such a meeting as the pre sent. He had been plunged into difficulties which appeared at first sight insurmountable ; but he Amid never forget the night w hen six honest working men, and others of his true friends from Woolwich, called at his residence and asked him what steps it was advisable to take for his benefit. He placed himself entirely in their bands, and nobly they had assisted him. The first step was the holding of a large public meeting at the Wool wich Literary Institution, and this meeting cln vinced him that, in the hour of adversity, his friends would not forsake him. At that meeting he told them that he would resign his seat if they required him to do so, but that he would never quit the House of Commons at the dictation of the agents and supporters of Mr. Montagu Chambers. Their reply had been of a practical nature. At Wool wich, Greenwich, and Daptford committees were formed to raise subscriptions, and at present he stood before them a free man. (Cheers.) When Parliament again met, he should take his seat, and nothing should be wanting on his part to represent them in a faithful manner. More especially did he intend to watch over the interest of the working classes, for it was those classes who had ever proved his most honest and zealous friends, and he had himself been a hard working man during his whole life. He pledged himself that he would strain every nerve to prove that he was not unworthy of their confidenc., and he hoped, by the utmost in dustry and apt cation to business, to be enabled to satisfy every - demand of a pecuniary nature. As it was, he had not been driven from his seat. They had enabled hire to keep it, and he would do so until they asked him to i%sign it. (Cheers.) Mr. GEORGE (who acted as solicitor to Mr. Townsend in the Court of Bankruptcy) entered into detail with regard to the claims of various cre di ors, and expressed his opinion that Mr.. Towns end had been persecuted by one or two persons. When he informed Mr. Bagley, the bArrister, that the bankruptcy w as t o b e annu ll e d , th a t gentleman was surprised, as he stated that he never witnessed a more fierce opposition than was offered at the first hearing of the case. Several electors addressed the meeting, and strongly advoca'ed the necessity of the formation of a Reform Association, in order to effect a co operation among the friends of Mr. Townsend in each part of the borough, and it was resolved to con vene a future meeting for this object. GALES IN THE CHANNEL. The South-Western Railway Company's steam ship Havre, Capt. W. Smith, left that port for Southampton on Wednesday night, with 7d passen gers and a fill. cargo. The weather had been very heavy during the day, and as the evening came on the wind increased to half a gale. Capt. Smith's confidence in his ship, which is one of the finest sea boats afloat, was complete, and he put to sea without heiit ttion. The fir,t three or four hours' run was accomplished without any extraordinary difficulty; but ar, six o'clock yesterday morning the weather became hazy, and the wind getting up at the s•tme time to a perfect hurricane, the position of the ship occasioned some anxiety. It was impos sible to see more than 200 yards ahead, and with the certainty that the vessel was approaching the back of the Isle of Wight, great anxiety was felt to make laud. The lead was kept constantly going, and the engine put at half-speed until about 8 o'clock, when the Dunnose Point wasmade on the starboard bow. The captain now changed his course to east ward, and gave the coast a wide berth. At this time alargeship was observed bea.ing up channel, in evi dent distress—the greater part of her canvas having been blown away. Capt. Smith lay to for some time, and hoisted signals to endeavour to direct her proper course. '1 he signals were observed, and in all probability the ship was thus saved. The Havre, pursuing her course to the eastward, again lost her reckoning through the denseness of the mist, and the navigation for several miles before sighting St. Catherine's was guided by the lead, which was kept constantly hove. The ship was frequently swept from stem to stern, the waves literally running " mountains high," and present ing a spectacle of awful grandeur. The Nab was sighted about noon, and after a pleasant run through the Solent, the Havre arrived at South ampton at two o'clock, to the evident astonish ment cf the officers of the dockyard and customs, whose knowledge of the state of the weather ou the previous night had led them to imagine that Capt. Smith would not have ventured to cross the channel. Capt. Walter Smith, before leaving the ship, received the collective and individual thanks of the passengers for his gallant and seamanlike conduct. SHIPWRECK OFF BRIGHTON. Soon after daybreak yesterday morning, amid one of the strongest gales and foaming billows that we for years have had to record, a vessel was descried dead set on the shore, and greatly exciting the fears of thousands of spectators, who quickly lined the cliff, for her safety and that of her screw. Soon after seven she ran aground on a sand bar immediately in front of the Albion Hotel. For tunately it was half tide, and the vessel stood nobly. John Wright's life-boat was immediately taken to the west of the Chain-pier entrance, and was the first launched with the following crew :—John Wright, sen., John Wright, jun., John Stoner, James AshurA, John Spicer, and Charles Mar shant, together with the following Coast Guards men : James Harris, George Goodman, John Gillard, and John Pratt. The town life-boat, manned by Nathaniel Gunn, Frederick Collins, John Taylor, William Measor, Thomas Ashhurst, Thomas Care, and Walter Coates, was also brought down to the water's edge, and, amid intense anxiety, launched. For some time previously and meanwhile rockets were fired from the apparatus on shore, under the direction of Capt. Willoughby. The town boat was first to reach the vessel, and succeeded in taking off five of the crew, when filling with water, she was compelled to give way, and, with considerable labour, gallantly landed the rescued opposite Junction-house. The deputy mayor, Mr. J. C. Burrows, the chief officer of police, Mr. Duly, and a strong force awaited them, and they were speedily taken to the Welling ton Inn, Pool Valley, where everything in the house was placed at their service. The men's names were Robert Hammond (mate), Arthur Trimmell, jun., Stephen Gardner, George Martin, and Henry Wright. The vessel was discovered to be the Pil grim, of Middlebro', for Portsmouth, laden with coals, the property of Messrs. Smith and Comper, of Gosport, and the ,captain, Smithson. The cap tain, Arthur Trimmell, senior, and Douglas Dent were yet on bo trd, Wright's boat making for them, and successfully reaching, rescuing, and landing the m remainder of the crew , am id th e h ear t es t i agina blo cheers. H av i ng b rea kf aste d w ith their ship mates, all were taken to the Town-hall, where the deputy-mayor and Mr. Duly (to whom lv t ea n c o re is due for their promptitude) . had thanked the and crew heartfully and gratefully ne cessary and superintended their outafilti. clothing captain ant s l o t m li the deputy-mayor and the authorities.. his desk savi ng thrw overboard ships' The p cz e t r a s i , n a s i u ,d cce t e h d e e e d re i N n v few things, some of which drifted on shore.

Among the mak), acts of sy m p a th y scri p displayed was that of a lady who had prayerfully watched the hap less vessel, and on he ar i ng t h e crew were sate, generously, in person, handed to Mr. Maddocks 5/. for their relief, and herself emptied her purse of silver into the men's hands. We were present during the whole of the pro eedings, and cannot too warmly notice the labour of love displayed by Friend Paine (the hall-keeper) and every one at the hall. The Deputy-Mayor, on taking his seat at the bench of magistrates, took the opportunity of pub licly thanking the chief officer of police and his men, also commended the courage and bravery of John' Wright and the men who went off in the boats, and added that it must have been a source of great sa- STATISTICS OF WRECKS. The following is a synopsis of the wrecks and casualties which having taken place during tho past year on the coast and in the seas of the Britiih Wes. The Register, which is accompanied by an engraved coloured chart, distinguishing the site of each casu shy, was presented to Parliament by the Board of Trade, and a more complete and interesting docu ment has never been published : "In the year 1850 the first Wreck Register in this country was published. It was compiled, we believe, at the suggestion of Capt. Washington, R.N., the present bydrographer to the Admiralty, The startling facts which the Register has in each successive year since disclosed have awakened general attention, have several times been discussed in both Houses of Parliament, and have re sulted in the establishment on our coast of a system of lifeboats for the preservation of the lives of unfortunate shipwrecked individuals that has never had a parallel in this or any other country. In this philanthropic work, in which the Royal National Life Institution has taken se prominent a part, much remains still to be done ; and, if we expound correctly the views of the committee of ma nagement of that institution, we believe that it is their fixed determination, if aided by the support of the pub. lie, to leave no exposed point on our dangerous coast unprovided with an efficient lifeboat establishment. "The following list gives some details of the work of destruction the past five years : Wrecks and Colli. Total Casualties in Wrecks. sions. Total. Lives lost. 1852 958 57 1,015 120 1853 759 73 832 989 1850 893 94 987 1,549 1855 894 247 1,141 469 - 1856 837 - 316 1,153 521 Total... 4,311 787 5,128 4,348 " Who can contemplate these lamentable details with out seeing the great necessity for continued exertions and precautionary measures in respect to the preservation of life and property ? The same, too, must be pursued with untiring energy until the average less of life and property is reduced to the minimum attainable by human skill. -" The numbor of casualties in each month of 1856 are ;hus given in the Register for that year : Vessels. January: 149 February March 96 April ' 74 May June July Representing 229,936 tons, and employing 10,014 hands, of whom 521 perished. " These disasters are again classified : Sailing ships over sea... 546 Colliers 139 Coasting ships not col. 432 I Steamships 34 "These vessels are again classified so as to distinguish their cargoes, that is : In ballast, not colliers 108 Coal laden 314 Colliers in ballast 79 Cotton Fishing smacks lO Fish or oil l9 Grain and provisions 115 General cargo Iron and other ores B3 Manure and kelp 26 Vessels. August .. 5l September 9B October 99 November 129 December 166 Passtngers ll Potatoes or fruit Salt Sugar, coffee, spices, tea, molasses lO Stone, slate, lime, or bricks 4O Timber or bark B6 Various 3l " We arrive at the conclusion from these facts that our coasting trade, and our coal trade in particular, is the most dangerous, and yields 1-3 d of the whole losses or collisions. Indeed, it is useless to disguise the fact that some of our coasting vessels are a disgrace to us as a nation. Only a few months ago a small schooner from Sandwich, while riding off Bridlington, was so rotten that her anchor pulled out her bows, causing her of course to sink, and her unfortunate crew of four hands to perish. And again, on the Bth of May last, a small schooner known to be unseaworthy (as we are informed) went to pieces off Aberdovy, on the coast of Wales, be fore there was time for any aid to reach the crew, May we not presume tl inquiry a ould discover many other similar cases among the numerous details of the Register, even in addition to the large number stated to have been abandoned or have foundered from unsea worthiness ? Surely a remedy might be found for such a disgraceful state of things. "An analysis of the tonnage of the wrecks on our shores during the past year further tends to prove four statement. It is as follows : Teasels under 50 tons 51 and under 100 tons ' 101 and under 300 tons 472 301 and under 600 tons 137 601 and under 900 tons 34 901 and under 1,200 tone 1,200 and upwards l2 " The exact site of each disaster is given in the Regis ter ; and to prevent the possibility of error on this point, the wreck chart, which accompanies it, clearly and dis tinctly points out the locality of the wreck. What a tale of woe and misery this death chart brings to light; who can think of it without feeling a desire, by every means in his power, to lessen the causes of those black dots on it? The following is the summary _ East Coast—Dungeness t o P en tl an d Frith.. V 506esiels. West Coast—Land's -end to Greenock 307 South Coast—Land's-end to Dungeness ll9 Irish Coast 155 Scilly Islands l2 Lundy Island Isle of Man Northern Isles, Orkney, &c. 3B " We believe that after this additional evidence a pro. position will be submitted to Parliament in the early part of the next session to build a harbour of refuge on the north-east coast of England, and a third on the west coast of England. "The return distinguishes the force of the wind at the time of each disaster, which is instructive so far as it proves that it is not the storm or the hurricane that de stroys the largest number of vessels, and that more danger is to be dreaded from the carelessness, neglect, or incompetence of man than from the act of God. " The following table gives a list of the wrecks and casualties, excluding collisions, which have involved total lose, distinguishing the cause of loss :—Stress of weather, 148 ; abandoned from unseaworthiness, 17 ; foundered from unseaworthiness, 37 ; want of lights or buoys on coasts or shoals, 10 ; mistaking lights or bear ings, 10 ; fog or current, 38 ; defective compasses, 5 ; defective charts, 3 ; error in course of reckoning, 6 ; error in judgment, 12 ; ignorance of coast, 3 ; errors of pilots, 7 ; want of pilot, 3 ; neglectof the lead, 21 : want of caution, 11 ; intemperance, 2 ; general negligence, 9 ; missing stays, 19 ; striking on sunken wrecks, 1 ; burnt, 4 ; capsised or sunk, 4 ; cause unknown, 7 ; total, 368 "Thus we find that no less than 220 ships were to tally lost or stranded in 1856 from errors, unseamanship or drunkenness, or other preventible causes, in addition to those from stress of weather. The lives lost from these disasters is not given ; but the widows and the orphans of some of these unfortunate crews in our seaports are too numerous to elude our observation. If one out of every 9 ships is lost f. om inefficiency whose duty should it be to see that crews are folly equal to their duties We have often contended that every English ship before LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 9, 1857.

Vessels: Abandoned from unseaworthiness Foundered from unseaworthiness " Those 54 vesse l s lost from unseawort hi ness f orm 5 per cent. of th e w h ole casualties, or 17f per cent. of total losses. Wh o l e crews are frequently to prison in this enli g ht ene d country for refusing to go to sea in tan gent seaworthy ships ; and now it is made clear that, out of 363 vessels totally lost in 1856, no less than 54 are offi cially affirmed on inquiry to be unseaworthy. Bat this is not the whole truth ; we must add the vessels impro perly found to that list, and there we see a little more of the mischief— Tease. Totally lost or s t randed from defective compasses 141 s Ditto, from defective charts Ditto, from improper stowage of anchor Ditto, from combustion of steam coal under hatches, and want of proper ventilators lO Ditto, through leakage 117 "A ship will leak at sea from straining, but the large number of 87 vessels on our coast seems to be too great a percentage for such a casualty. A ship sent to sea with defective compasses or charts, and lost from that cause, ought to cla-sed under the head of unseaworthy. " If all vessels were inspected by competent authori ties beime sailing, we suspect that the condemnation of existing vessels and _equip:dent would -be wholesale. We judge so from various reasons. In 1850 the British tonnage was 4,232,962 tons ; we learn that the ships and steamers broken up in that ye sr were 129, register ing 5,766 tons. The vessels wrecked in 1850 were 692, f 127,188 tons. But the new vessels registered were 689, of 136,695 tons, to which - night be added the vessels built and sold for foreigners. TIE) deaths from old age and infirmities were only 129 out of 33,672. In Dec., 1855, the number of ships registered in the United King dom from the Board of Trade return was 25,115, of 4,268,908 tons, and the ships lost or damaged during the year ending the 31st Doe., 1856, e ere 884, of 151,470 tons, being 3.5 per cent. of loss. Foreign vessels are here excluded, so that we are still left in the dark as to the vessels broken, up relatively to aggregate tonnage and losses. From Lloyd's register of wrecks we gather that 1,959 vessels were lost in 1856; this includes ships to distant ports not given in the Government return. Old vessels are made to do duty till they founder at sea. When a venel is fit for nothing else she is put in the timber trade, and the fearful accounts we read of water logged ships follow as a necessary se que l . "We thus, from the preceding consideration of de fined causes, can come to no other rational conclusion than that more ships are wr, cited from oversight, igno rance, neglect, and spurious e col omy than from the dan gers f the sea.

" We now approach the most lamentable feature in these returns. Of the number of lives more or less imperilled, we find them set down as 2,765, of whom 521 were drowned. Those saved by the mercy of God and the help of men were thus rescued : Persons.

And surely as institution like that of the National Lifeboat Society, in addition to having granted rewards for rescuing 473 persons from ship wrecks, the lifeboats of which have been the means, during the past 12 months, of snatching 129 of our fellow-creatures from a watery grave, has only to make its claims extensively known to be fully appreciated and liberally responded to by the Anent and humane throughout the land. " We thus appeal on behalf of the cause of humanity, but we ought not to be required to appeal to shipowners and underwriters to see that their ships are properly manned and furnished ; for we believe that is is their best interest which is consulted in attending to that manifest duty." such as this one which ought to receive conntenauci from any in authority who are responsilde for the prei. servation of the public peace ' • and some individuals rank and stati on w h o hold her Majesty's commissio may think they can reconcile the obligations of tha office with the continuing membership with Orang society. It does it appear to me that the interests og the public,, at least in the north of Ireland, now requirle that no such encouragement should be given to tbiii society by the appointment of any gentleman to the commission who is, or intends to become a member of it, intending the rule to be of genera l a ppli ca tion. think it right to ask every gentleman the assurance that he is not, nor while he owns the commission of thp peace will, become a member of the Orange Society. think it right to inform your lordship that in expressin the foregoing opinions and determination I do so wit the entire concurrence of his Excellency the Lord Lieutenant."

The inquest on the body of the unfortunate man Drury, who was killed under circumstances stated in The Sun of Wednesday, was reopened yesterday. The other wounded man (John Dunn) has made the following deposition :—I live at the dock cottages at block A. I was at Seward's publichouse on Sunday evening. There were some of Messrs. Thompson's drivers there ; there were several of them. I left at about 10 o'clock. I can't say if the prisoners were there. I know them by sight, but I don't remember either of them being there. I know the prisoner John Smith well. I had got a little way towards my lodgings in the dock cottages when I saw two or three men running into one of the avenues of the dock cottages. I went up to them and saw about four men striking one another. They all appeared to be striking each other. One of them was down. The man who was down lay quite still, but I saw no blood. Two of the men were inside a doorway, and one outside. They were all fighting together. Those three men were part of the four I first saw. The two inside were fighting with the man outside. The man I first saw was still lying near the doorway. I went up to the door to see what was the matter. When I got near, one of the two men inside the doorway rushed at me and struck me a blow on the left side, as I thought, with his fist. I then went away out of the avenue and felt the blood coming. I then met police-constable Clarke and another policeman. I told him that I bad been stabbed. I saw the face of the man who stabbed me, but not sufficiently to enable me to know him again. He had white trowsers on, and I think something of a dark jacket. I cannot tell what be bad on his head. I cannot say whnt kind of a man the other man was. I saw no snore of the row, and was brought to the hospital I do not know a man named John Drury (the deceased). I may know him, but not by name. There was no quarrel at the publichouse when I left, and I believe they were clearing out. I recollect telling the police man I would show him the house where the men were when I was stabbed. Before I left to be brought to the hospital, I pointed, for the police, down the avenue in the direction of the house where I was stabbed, when one of the policemen went in that direction and the other remained with me. I cannot tel 1 how many doors down it was where I was stabbed. When I came out of the publichouse I turned to the right, and I do not know which block it was in which I heard the noise, but as I went into the avenue the row was on the right-hand side. Ido not know how many doors it was in the avenue, but I had passed a corner. When I me, the police-constable I was on the road from the church to Seacombe. _ _ The coroner's inquiry into the charge against Francis rand John Smith and George Callaghan, for t h e mur d er of John Drury, closed het night at 9 o'clock. The ver diet was "Idanblaugilter" against the three. IRELAND. DUBLIN-, THURSDAY EVENING. THE BELFAST CrirSToMS FRAUDS. The Northern Whig, the leading commercial jourbal in Belfast, referring to the recently disco vered frauds of Moore, the absconded tea merchant, observe— "In every quarter of commercial society there is loud . denunciation of the conduct of the Customs ' aut h or i t i es in the whole course of this business. P. ivate information of what had be en go i ng on was received on Thursday evening, and an officer was sent down to Skipper-street to watch the premises. Moore was permitted egress and inrress to his own house, without the least attempt hav ing been made either to investigate the condition of the contents of the stores or to communicate with the police for his arrest; and it was only when the criminal had made his escape that the ability of the detective officers was called in to repsi- the consequences of the scanda lous neglect of the officers of Customs. That John James Moore has escaped justice fer the time is only to be at tributed to the fact that th e Customs ' au th or ities f a il e d to exercise ordinary vi g il ance while hav i ng in their pos session important information. As it is, there is a great deal of indignation expressed in certain circles in Belfast at the failure of the attempts at Moore's capture. It is broadly asserted that there are parties, both in town and country, whose reputation will benefit by Moore's succeeding in making his way safely to the United States, for 800 or 900 che a t s o f tea have yet to be ac counted for. The porter, R o bb, s till remains in custody, and is quite unreserved in his statement of Mr. Moore's proceedings. He appears t o h ave followed the example of others in a better position and to have contented him self by simply remonstrating,' to which Moore invari ably replied that he was 'hard up,' and would make it all right' on the Srat opp or tunity. He thinks that Moore did not profit so extensively as is believed by his fraudulent transactions, and that he left Belfast with a c( naparaave y t• small amount of financial means. Another arrest was made last night. A person named Richard Henley, in the employm nt of Messrs. R. and J. Bell, was taken into custody under suspicion of being con nected with the frauds, and was lodged in th e coun t y gaol, under certain information received by th e po li ce. It is pretty clear that, if a close i nves ti gat i on b e pursued in this case, some astounding disclosures will be mad e , That Moore had accomplices , or that his pro cee di ngs were openly tolerated by a certain circl e , we h ave on the bestof evidence e of Belfast, no doulabts; and we t rus t , f or the mer cantile character t, an effort will be made to place before the public every name connected with this monster fraud." BALLINASLOE PAIR. The hem fair took place yesterday, and, owing to the inclement state of the weather and other causes, it was altogether a failure. THE HUSH GOVERNMENT AND THE ORANGE SOCIETY. The following is an extract from a letter addressed to the Marquis of Londonderry, Lord-Lieutenant of the county of Down, by the . Lord Ch ancel l or. It has been sent for publication to the lforthern Whig : "In reference generally to appointments to the com mission of the peace for the aunty of Down and me called for, with the some other counties in the north of Ireland, I feel obliged by recent imperativelyevents to introduce conditions public tranquillity.
