To enter 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, heart 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 delir.facy of health should appear to attack any of his young charges, what the rea: 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 out the disastrous consequences which are sure to follow from them, if not relinquished. res l icl i n e e ss c r e s .s - o• CURTIS • 7 / and CO. are Frith-street/ Soho, btoo, bfero on Five till Eight in the Evening; a nd cpuotry Patients are re- t l ii t l la , i l li r a ete ,nidthaer q_ueasstteodithoebdeuaras duration of toms a e communication ion Fee of. neral habits of living, and occupation in life the " Or the the the detail of their cases, os whateveruai o c y n; ; n u 1 t be t s a c t r e e n cy or m th a e y ir i :pg i c e a 4 ti ci o k n i? ,• and in all cases, the most inviolable N.B.

Last March the Brunow propositions were almost accepted : General Sebastiani then proposed, under pretext of making that negotiation more regular, call ing in a Turkish negotiation. In this he did right, for it gained two months, and time was useful, to give every one the means of reflectinc , and of becoming calm. A new Ambassador, M. Guizot, and a new Direct ing Minister, M. Thiers, then made their appearance. Those two personages in concert, acted in such a manner as to keep off the impending danger, but which could not keep it off for ever, especially after the in surrection of Lebanon. The English Cabinet, and the Cabinets of the North, did their utmost to induce the new representatives of France to accede to the Brunow propositions. What could the French Cabinet do? It was quite impossible to abandon the Viceroy of Egypt, to consent to the propositions tending to strip him of his posses sions, to make him less powerful than he was before the battle of Nezib. Public opinion in France, and reasonable opinion, would have most strenuously blamed such a measure. In sticking fast to the Viceroy there was a chance of a separation from England, but M. Thiers had been told by every one in the two Chambers —separate rather than make to England the sacrifice of our evident interests. M. Thiers was even told he was so devoted to the English that he would not know how to oppose them. He has opposed them—he has refused to yield to them, and now certain persons of litle rank, it is true, and of inconsiderable number, ac cuse him almost for the result which has occurred. M. Thies and M. Guizot have acted right in doing what they have done. There were not two choices to make. A separation was certainly better than an act of shameful weakness. The following is the history of the whole affair : France was for a moment on the point of enlighten ing England and diverting the danger. M. Thiers finding negotiations almost concluded, thought he would do well to avoid the self-love of the persons engaged, and for that purpose to profit by the two months which General Sebastiani had contrived to obtain. He succeeded in making the two months three. He did nothing abruptly, he put forward no pretension of giving success to any particular plan, but merely showed the inconveniences of the plan prepared in London, and hinted, though with great moderation, that there were certain solutions that France would peremptorily oppose. What do you intend doing in the East? said the French Cabinet to all the Courts. You want to deprive the Viceroy, of his actual possession ; you want him, after having won the battle of Nezib, which be did not provoke, to possess less territory than he eid before. You want to deprive Mehemet Ali of the provinces which he will be able to organise, to restore them to the Sultan, who will ruin his power by his vain attempts to preserve them. You render the Ottoman weaker and more agitated, for you weaken the vassal who may save the empire, in behalf of the Sovereign who is alike unable to govern and defend it. The Pacha, when satisfied will be a te t h le m a s o t s t by useful efu u evident l sp se p support of his i n ter e st; ma ster ; for if virtue, h eno wi l lt by e desirous of preserving, not only Egypt, but Constan. two* also, from every one. Therefore, if the welfare of ' the Porte, b e th e o bj ect i n viewit must be recon ciled with the ni c he, b ut without injuring the latter. But (continued th e F renc h Cabinet) whatever *may be thought on - this subject, whether opinions be favour able to the 'Pacha or the Sultan, what means do you possess to conquer the Pacha, and make him accept a treaty against his will ? Your means are insufficient, or dangerous. They arc insufficient, if you mean simply to blockade him in Syria and Egypt by means of an English fleet. Ile will remain in his ports, and then, when urged to the utmost, he will rush on Constantinople, and set Europe on fire. Your means are dangerous, if an army is to be sent into Syria or Egypt. What army would this be? There is not an English soldier that can be disposed of. A French soldier will never go into Egypt against the Viceroy. The Austrians have stated aloud that they would never have anything to 'do with such a crusade. The Russians remain. Now will Europe consent to see the Russians in Syria ; and will the English convey them thither ? These reasons, expressed with moderation, patience, and firmness, during five months, had made a certain effect on every cabinet, The impossibility of finding means, neither inefficient nor dangerous, the certainty, announced by the Cabinet of March 1, of the opposi tion of France to certain means, had detached every one from the eastern question, and wishes were clearly ex pressed on all sides that a direct arrangement might take place. This direct arrangement which France, by a scruple of loyal feeling, had not sought to effect, but which she had rendered practicable by counselling moderation to the Viceroy, became probable when Mehemet Ali sent Sarni Bey to offer to restore the Turkish fleet to the Sultan. This offer had been advised by no one, and had emanated from the joy felt by Mehemet Ali on learning the downfall of Khosrew. Who would think—who would dare acknowledge in London that this was the very moment selected by the negotiators to give birth to a frightful complication ? The negotiators, who had vainly attempted to effect a reconciliation between the Sultan and the Pacha, thought their dignity would be offended if the Sultan and the Pacha made an arrangement without their aid. The idea of preventing this direct arrangement then occurred to them. While seeking how to effect this, the news of the in surrection of Lebanon arrived. This was immediately viewed as a means of coercion against Mehemet, which had not yet been discovered, and tl:• famous London Convention was abruptly signed. The thought of overturning Mehemet Ali's power in Syria, by landing on the coasts Turkish soldiers that the Sultan does not possess, and by landing provisions and ammunition supplied by the English, originated from a letter written by twa English travellers. In this, it was said, Syria will escape his grasp ; he will then submit to the conditions that we shall im pose. France, it is true, will hare seceded, but it will not last long. _ This is - the trifling foundation of so important and dangerous a resolution. France has separated, and has done right ; her cabi net has acted properly, and will be approved by France and by the world. France is about to take up arms and levy all the men that the law allows. Should it be re quisite to place our army on a war footing, the Cham bers would be convoked ; the Cabinet holds the ordi nance of convocation ready for the first danger. In the meantime measures are taking for getting together a large materiel, which is always an affair of difficulty and of time. Thus prepared ; France will wait, should the Powers employ means that France in her dignity and interest cannot admit ; she will take the world as wit ness of her conduct, her loyalty, and of the purity of her motives ; she will have her banners blessed by the God who blessed the banners of Ileums and Austerlitz ; she will take up arms in the cause of civilisation, for ci vilisation is held alike on the banks of the Nile and on those of the Seine. With a good cause and the arms of France, there is some chance of success, for victory fol lowed her banner for 30 years. Should the means employed be such as France has neither right nor interest to prevent, she will remain in observation, and what will then take place ? A result for which it was not worth whil e to brave such peri l, for the Viceroy, against whom nothing serious shall have been done, will terminate sooner or later the insurrection in Syria ; and then what will be attempted ? It will then be necessary to return to the starting point, that is, to say, to the situation which the French Cabinet has al ways defined thus : with respect to the Inefficient and danmerous means, Viceroy. Consequently it will become necessary to treat with hini on equitable and reasonable bases. Now ready, in one vol. post bye., ANNALS OF HUMBLE LIFE, "If this be a first attempt it augurs well.

Forming Vol. X. of the Works of DANIEL DE FOE. N.B. Published monthly, until tho whole is completed in S Volumes. London : Printed for Thomas Tegg, 73, Cheapside. TUESDAY EVENING. CHRONICLE.—We alluded yesterday to the una nimity of feeling in the City in support of Lord Palmer ston's policy as regards the Eastern question, and ex pressed our belief that although the commercial interests would be prominently aff,Tted by a rupture with France, the British merchants cordially approved of the policy pur sued by her Majesty's Government. We have seen no Cause to modify what we stated. At the same time, there is a general and ardent wish expressed that the difference may be amicably adjusted. _ _ _ The commerce and trade of both countries would be se riously injured by hostilities, and the English manufacturers would be serious losers by such an event. We have no desire to conceal that fact, nor the general desire which pervades the trading interests to preserve peace. But France seems inclined to put too much faith in these con siderations, and we wish to undeceive her ; for she is quite mistaken in supposing that they will induce British mer chants to oppose the policy of the Government. Besides, the French Cabinet will find that the trade of France would suffer more deeply than that of England, should friendly intercourse be suspended between the two countries. The imports to England from France ire certainly more than double the value of our exports to that country. On looking at the tables in Illaculloch's Dictionary, we find the official value of the imports to this country from France in the year 1834, stated at 2,808,2561., and the exports to France of British and Irish pro duce and manufactures at 1,280,667/. ; while, of the 11,340,000 francs gross value of wine exported from France, ne. - rly 4,000,000 f. was imported to England. The silks of Lyons and the wines and brandies of Bor deaux would no longer find vent in the London market, while we should only lose a mart for part of our cotton twists and Irish linens. Such would be the immediate re sult of hostilities in the staple articles of trade. It is un necessary to follow cut the question as regards its effects upon our shipping interests, because we are supposing a state of things which we trust will never come to pass ; but, if it should unfortunately happen our shipping interest would of course, if not efficiently protected by our ships of war, suffer from capture, yet the French mercantile ma rine, a far less important, but certainly an improving in terest, would be literally destroyed by our numerous cruisers. POST.—There was again great fluctuation in the price of Stock this morning ; but there was a considerable amount of loose capital to invest, and advantage was taken of this depressed state of the market to lay it out, so that, although the same fears and doubts exist as heretofore with respect to the adjustmPrtt of the pending difficulty with France, the stock offering was presently absorbed, at or about the above rates, and the quotations have conse quently improved. The continued fineness of the weather serves to tran quillize the minds of our commercial men with regard to the Foreign Exchanges. Wishes have been expressed by some that there were only inducement for the importation of a few thousand quarters more of wheat (say four or five), but, with the fair prospect we now have before us of an abundant supply of our own, any further quantities will hardly be ordered from abroad. Twa or three weeks since the impression was that the exportation of gold was about to be resumed upon a large scale, in payment for grain, but there is no longer any fear of this. The probability is that the operations in specie may tend rather the contrary way—that the coffers of the Bank of England may be still further re plenished. _ _ The issue of the next few days, as respects the wea ther and the crops, will solve a problem of the deepest in. terest to the nation, in connexion with the currency. With some weeks more of temperature like the present, the position of the banking community will be rendered one of perfect safety. In the recollection of former dis appointments, we will not, however, allow ourselves for the moment to be over sanguine in our anticipations upon this point. rIERALD.—The transactions in the Funds to.day have been of less importance than for some time past, and it would seem that the speculators for the fall have rather come to a pause for the present. This may perhaps be partly owing to the moderated tone of the French Journals received this morning, in u hich gene rally there is not so much acerbity of expression as for some days previously. Altogether however the fall in the Funds so long continued is quite unaccountable by any fact which has yet transpired, and it is referable to specu lation almost solely, for it must be noted that the public have not been sellers of stock, and therefore the business has been altogether in the house among the jobbers, or brokers, acting for parties out of doors. If the French papers are to be credited Senor Mendi zabal was expected at Bayonne en route for this metro polis. It is hardly possible, however, to place faith in this announcement; for it is not usual for people knowingly to run their own heads into the fire. However, should he venture he may be assured of a warm reception, if not a Needy despatch to his old quarte,ix over the water, where Marshal Chapman may perhaps condescend to recognise and accommodate an old acquaintance, unless he should be fort sill'ed by a sterner functionary somewhere about the Old Bailey. The bondholders of course will be on the alert, and this reminds us by the way that nothing has yet publicly become known respecting the opinions of counsel agreed by the committee of bondholders to be taken re specting the legality of the surreptitious issue of bonds by Mendizabal, and the liability of parties in consequence who were concerned as agents in the sale. It has been whis pered that one opinion at least has been declared affirming such liability, but of course the committee will not take any steps in the shape of publicity and proceedings until fortified by more opinions than one. SUN.—The Foreign Exchanges did not rally this afternoon, being still affected by the orders for grain recently transmitted to the Continent, but which it is hoped will now in part be countermanded, owing to the fine weather. Next post day, supposinc , we have a con tinuance of bright skies, we may look for an improve ment. Bills on Paris were negotiated at 25f. 50c. to 52ie. ; on Hamburgh at 13.8 to 13.8} ; on Amster dam at '22.2 ; and on Frankfort, at 1.191 to 149 a. The Funds were more buoyant, and closed full per cent. higher. Consols for Money at 90} to 90i ; and for the Account at 9O to 90i- ; Exchequer Bills left off at 225. prem.; and the Reduced Three-and-a- Half per Cents. at 991 In the Foreign Funds there was no particular altera tion.

The Railway Shares were quiet, and the same as quoted in our morning article. The exports of the precious metals from the port of London in the week ending Thursday last, were as follow : Silver Coin to Rotterdam 66,000 ounces Hamburgh 121,000 Calais BO,OOO Gibraltar 30,000 Silver bars to Rotterdam 20,000 ounces Hamburgh 13,448 Bombay 15,99G Calais 20,000 SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. FROM THE MORNING PATERS OF THIS DAT. (From the Morning Chronicle.) We cannot bring ourselves to entertain so low an opinion of the Statesmen of France, as to suppose that they seriously contemplate hostilities with this country. For how stands, in fact, the matter with France? And this cannot be too often repeated. The main reason given all along by France for not joining in coercive measures against Mehemet Ali to force upon him an arrangement which France herself has always admitted would be the best calculated to secure future peace is, that if co erc i ve measure s were employed, Mehemet, driven to pence, and would make Ibra him march on Constantinople,e, an d thence would arise events which would probably lead to war. France, therefore, refuses to join the other four Powers , because she clings to ev to prevent yet no sooner do the four Poweis determine on without her, than she suddenl y turns round upon to go them, a her only avowed objection to ethad seriously.t to war. o atenstogotowar with them en a t t once, them them doing things, wmrfr which is, that the se things might Thi s n onsense is too childish to be dealt with l wi If, indeed, the refusal of France to join in coercive mea suresany other s ecre t mo taroseshfrern e does not think it prudent i o againstr hidden M viewseh e w t h ieit or bonourable to avow, th a t i s another thing ; but although su ch a circumstance might tend to also tend m ore strong ly to render th e con d uc t of France more intelligible, it would to prove the wisdom of he decision adopted by the Four Powers, as a resolution called for by a just regard for their own interests, and necessary for maintaining the balance of power in Europe.(F roro the Morning Post. ) which we are placedwitlThe difficult circumstances—for they are difficult—in with respect to France must surely have had some origin. authority of We have already stated, on the . a corres nde o n f t, th whose main positions . remain the concealment practised b 1 unshaken, that the cause P' hi., o p r r d e s pa n i t n u l o n r f s r t i o e has been published in Paris y s shows, and we have grounds I d l 1 n A es l I s ca thatsi (From the Morning , Advertiser.)

Many will be discouraged by the late failure in P ar li am e n t o f a great popular effort, and by the stubborn adherence of the aristocracy to the , most unjust and oppressive of' all monopoliA. For ourselecs, we are not 'greatly discouraged by the Par liamentary st.en_cth of the monopoly party. .The rid. nority on this ques ti on , on M r. V i lli ers ' s motion, was larger than we have known on many questiot s just before their ultimate stvcess. It is so la r ge as t o g iv e a fair pro mise of succors, If the opponents of the monopoly are only true to their own cause. Let the manufacturing and m:r cantile classes ken p up and extend the means of enlighten ing the public mind—let every Anti-corn-law Association continue a pet severing activity—let the -.subscriptions be resolutely maintained—let the lectures and the tracts be multiplied—let Manchester maintain its post at the head of the great league now organised to: obtain justice for the people—let the constituency resolve to re turn no candidate who is a friend of the iniquitous bread tax—let all these means be adopted, and we feel convinced that the monopoly cannot be upheld many sessions, at least without a very important modification. (From the Morning Herald.) Lord Ashley moved, last night, that "an humble ad dress be presented to her Majesty, to direct an inquiry to be made into the employment of the children of the poorer classes in the various branches of trade and maltiu facture in which numbers of children work together, not being included in the provisions cf the Acts for regulating the employment of children and young persons engaged in factories, and to collect information as to the ages at which they are employed, the number of hours they aro engaged to work, the time allowed each day for meals, and as to the actual state, condition, and treatment of such children, and as to the effects of such employ ment, both with regard to their morals and their bodily health." The speech of Lord Ashley was admirable, it abounded in statements of fact, of the highest import ance ; and it was pervaded by a spirit of the most profound wisdom. The treatment to which the children employed in all the great branches of our manufactures are suljected is a national disgrace. Their ease, their heaVh, their comfort are utterly sacrificed ; and all these feariul evils arc incurred in order to carry on a system of manu factures, which, the more it is extended, the poorer dues it render the country ! In the crurse of the discussion, Mr. Villiers and Mr. flume, while they admitted the evils alluded to by Lord Ashley, took occasion to ascribe those evils to the operation of the Corn-laws. It might puzzle those gentlemen to account fur the startling fact, that the slavery of factory children and of other children of equally tender years is far more severe in those countries where bread is cheap" than even in England with her much_ abused Corn-laws. The truth is, that the tendency of the Corr, laws is to protect the labourer, and to enhance Ilia value of his toil. RAILROAD DIRECTORS. TO 7'HE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Bath Hotel, Leamington, Aug. 1, 1840. Sir—There is no portion of the public so aggrieved in travelling by the railroad conveyances ai Courtier cial Travellers, and there is no class of men whe have so great a claim upon the attention of the proprietors as they have. Commercial Travellers, when travelling by coaches, have (and always had) a preference shown them in the extent of luggage they are allowed to take free of extra charge, but with the railroad Directors any old woman, that never travelled before in her life, or ever will again, is allowed to take just as much. If a traveller takes heavy samples, he sells heavy goods, and, for the most part, where it is practicable, their goods arc sent by railroad conveyances. I should, therefore, respectfully suggest to the Directors whether they would nut be looking well to the interests of the shareholders to allow Commercial Travellers to take their luggage free of extra charge, provided they could give proof that they did ❑ot carry stock, which some men, such as those who sell lace, &c., do. Feeling assured that this subject will meet with your attention, I remain, sir, Your obed i ent servant, A COMMERCIAL TRAVELLER. PROTEST OF THE BISHOP OF EXETER AGAINST THE PASSING OF THE MUNICIPAL CORPORATIONS (IRELAND) BILL. DISSENTIENT- I. Because no sufficient proofs of delinquency or mis conduct were adduced against the municipal corporatk,ns of Ireland, to justify so sweeping a measure of Jest: uction, in contempt of the sacredness of ancient charters, and in dp to rincip distinguishl es which, l t e i g l is l w la i t t i h o i n n o t f h the e l last ,eafir years,lai e wereon f t those ,avidl e s pecially of this House. 11. Because, in the admitted absence of such proofs of delinquency, th e plea on which the measure %IL, mainly rested, the exclusive character of the existing corporations, did in effect establish the fidelity of those bodies to the one great end for which they were all alike created, the maintenance of the British in terest in Ireland ; the more ancient corporations having, been founded as fortresses and fastnesses to protect that interest against the rebellious attempts of tho tivc Irish, and of the descendants of the earliest English settlers ; the mere modern combining with this great com mon object, the still greater and more sacred purpose of maintaining the cause of true religion against the unceas ing efforts of the Papists to re-establish the domination of their own priesthood in its grossest and most revolting form. 111. Because, if it be true that the continuance of bo dies in practice exclusively Protestant be no longer con sistent with the policy which seeks to deal with all distinc tions of religious faith as equally unworthy of peculiar fa. your in the political institutions of the empire, common souse ar,d ccmmon justice alike point out the only proper course to be pursued—the simple abolition of those bodies, when the cause fur which they were created is supposed to have ceased. IV. Because the adoption of a measure, which is ad mitted by all to insure the establishment of bodies of Ro man Catholics equally exclusive as those which they aro made to supersede, is not et - 11y contrary to common sense and common justice, but also to the spirit of most so lemn promises and engagements repeatedly made by those who advised, and ultin.ately carried, the Act for the re lief of her Majesty's Roman Catholic subjects in 1829. The leaders in that great and perilous experiment pledged themselves to propose to Parliament the re enttetment of the statutes which were then repealed, or the adoption of still more stringent restraints, if the par ties, who were freed from the restrictions before imposed, should prove (as they notoriously have proved) them selves unworthy of the confidence then reposed in them, anti should renew their attempts against the Protestant Church in Ireland. If any unhappy concurrence of cir cumstances has prevented the literal redemption of that pledge, yet the least and lowest obligation which it can justly be understood to have imposed was, the duty of a resolute and firm resistance to every new proposition for increasing the power of so bitter, so unrelenting, aad so perfidious an enemy. V. Because, although it was declared by high authority, o n the passing cond reading into a of law the unless Bill, such that it amendmentswould be unworthy were of finally introduced as should give security against theestablishment of other bodies equally exclusive with those which arc abo lished, yet the amendments actually made .not only give no such security, but do not even attempt nor profess to give it, their only object being to mitigate time acknow ledged mischiefs of the measure, and in some trifling de gree to limit the power with which it arms the Popish de mocracy of the cities and towns in Ireland to lyrannissa over the Protestant and more opulent Basses of inhabi tants, and to oatort from them funds for the more speay and effectual execution of their own unhallowed designs. VI. Because there is strong reason to believe that the final passing of time measure was the result rather of con siderations of party convenience, than of any Amigo and liberal views of national policy nee of thine who had it in their power to decide on the ultimate fate of the bill venturing to pronounce it a mea sure either just or safe in itself, or worthy of favour on any other account than that it put an end to a question which could no longer remain unsettled, with out dividing public men, who, from the purest motives, wish to continue to act together. Thus were the gravest interests of the country forgotten in personal considera tions —the end was sacrificed to the means; and the only plea which can justify the combination of statesmen, the more effectual assertion and maintenance of a great com mon principle, was here openly abandoned. la VII.
