CAUTION TO PER SONS NEGLECT ING THEIR TEETH AND GUMS. =TRACT F.R.031 MONS. LE DRAY ‘. TREATISE ON LOSS OF TEETH. " Among the various disorders of the Mouth, there is none more destructive than Scurvy. which on first entering the Gums. eauses them to bleed on the most trifling occasions, and pro dutsea—the most offensive and frequently putrid breath. A soft substance invariably accumultfes around the necks -off the Teeth, penetrates into the Gums, which gradually waste away, and the Teeth then become loose, and drop out whole from their sockets, and it is well known tbs., the loss of Teeth arises more from this cause than any other. On this subject a distinguished Lecturer makes the following esbeei vations :—" When the disgusting effects of this accumu lation are considera, it would appear impossible that any per suasion could be necessary to induce persons to obviate so great `a nuisance even on. their own account : or if they are too de -based to procure their own comfort and cleanliness by employ tog a skilful Dentist, they surely have no right to shock the senses of ethers, who possess more delicacy and propriety of 'feeling than themselves. Yet, so it is; and the sight and the . smell are alike constantly outraged by the filthiness of some people, who seem to obtrude their face , the closer in proportion to the disgust which they occasion."--Bell's Lectures, p. 199. 1 ICould such persons only see the horrid rtate of their teeth and gums, or for a moment catch the odour of their own breath, they would not hesitate to seek immediate relief. To professional men, shop-keepers, and tratlesmen generally, who have much intercourse with the refined and fashionable world, a good state of-the mouth must be of the greatest importance•! Besides, is not eq offensive breath, which in nineteen cases out of twenty proceeds from the bad state of the teeth and gums, very much calculated to prevent the blessing of matrimony ? And how often, from inadvertence or neglect, is the happiness of the , :marriage state most grievously interupted by the same cause' The inconvenieneies attending the Loss of Teeth are too well known to require comment. but to those who have not ex perienced the comfort of Artificial Teeth, Monsieur Le Dray as desirous of showing some of the difficulties more or less en. dared by every individual without them. When the Teeth are lost, it is impossible to make use of solid food ; and if the stomach is then loaded with pieces without being masticated, the patient is exposed to the most distressing insligestions, the stomach loses its power of contraction, and becomes weak it proportion as it no longer digests ; besides, when the Teeth are gone, a great vacuum left in the mouth, which occasions every muscle in the face to be distorted, and the whole features are completely drawn feom their original position. To insist on t importance of the teeth, whether in regard to the functiohs at digestion and articulation, to which they ' are so essential, or to personal appearance, in which they are so much concerned, must-appear a waste of words, were it not obvious that there are many persons who never give themselves the trouble to think upon the subject ; who seem scarcely aware that they possess teeth at all, while their gross and cul pable negligence renders the fact too apparent to their friends .aid associefes. Mastifiration is the first process of digestion, and unless it be duly performed, the subsequent processes can never go on Properly. So essential is this preparatory process, that the neglect of it is sufficient to occasion indigestion, a disordered stomach, ner voue debility, depression of spirits, the skin becomes rough and tinged;ef a lead colour, the eyes lose their brilliancy, the lips their vermillion hue, and, in a word, it is no uncommon thing for thewhole body to receive such a shock as to cause re laxatitin of the whole system, which produces an irritable temper, quite foreign to the natural disposition, whereby we become an annoyance to our friends, and a burthen to ourselves. But I . need not dwell upon the num berless concomitant evils which may thus owe their origin to imperfect mastication. It is sufficient to know that Monsieur Le Dray's improvements will be found to be many years in advance of any system now in Eu rope, and that artificial teeth ate brought to such perfection, at his Establishment, No. 60, Newman-street, Oxford -street, as to perform this function in a manner equal in every respect to the natural teeth, and may be used with every comfort. They are so arranged as to restore the face to its former youthful east, correcting all deformities of the mouth, and entirely doing sway with the old system of springs, clasps, and wires. As an essential point of beauty, the teeth must ever stuns. pre-eminent. No regularity of features, no brilliancy of om plexion, no sparkling eyes, or silken braids of jetty hair can render that lady beautiful, who when she opens her lips (though they be of coral), discloses a set of teeth irregular or discoloured. On the contrary, even homely features and a sallow complexion are embellished and rendered agreeable by a good set of teeth. A mouth large and ill-formed will pass unnoticed, when it contains teeth beautifully white and even. On the other hand the effects of decay, the accumulation of tartar, the blackened and denuded fangs, and the taint of the breath, which is a common c oncomitant of bad eth, *variably prove disgusting and loathsome. ; Regular teeth, white, and free from all extraneous matter, Ire an ornament equally attractive in either sex. Those per sons who do not oossess this natural advantage, should en deavour, by extreme care and cleandness, and a timely resort to artificial :id, to remedy the imperfections, and supply the deficiencies of nature, in order that their teeth, if not an agree able object, may be prevented , as far as possible, from hecomine repulsive one. Monsieur LE DRAY, Surgeon-Dentist, 60, Newman-street, Oxford-street, respectfully acquaints the Nobility, Gentry, Clergy, and the inhabitants of London and its vicinity, that lie continues to restore Decayed Teeth with his celebrated Mine ral Niarmeratum, so universally recommended by the Faculty of England, France, and throughout the Continent, which substance he is sole inventor and possessor of. The ope ration is performed without the least pain ; it is placed into the cavity in an almost liquid state, and in a few seconds nardens into enamel, preventing and curing the Tooth Ache, arresting all further progress of decay', allaying in one minute the most excruciating pain, and rendering the operation of ex raetion unnecessary. elle also fastens loose Teeth, particularly of ag e d persons, whetlser arising from neglect, the use of calo mel, diseas t of the gunstser any other cause. ARTIFICIAL or NATURAL TEETH of surpassinr , beauty ,tu match equal in colour and shape those left in the Mouth, fixed from one to a complete set, without extracting the roots or givirg any pain ; and they are so exactly formed to nature, that the closest observer cannot detect the difference, with this advantage, that they never change colour, decay, or wear out, at the following Paris charges : A single Artificial Tooth A Se A complete Set A complete Set of Natural Teeth, beautifully mounted in artificial gums, or fine gold, the same as charged Thirty Guineas l5 15 0 entire Set of Monsieur Le Dray's beautiful Mi neral Teeth, highly finished, in the first style, the same as charged Forty Pounds Amnged on a principle yet unrivalled, rendering it impossible to (!istinguish the Artificial Teeth from the Natural ones; paswering.most satisfactorily all the purposes of the original Teeth in mastication and articulation, imparting to the counte usnce a younger and improved appearance, protecting the adjoining teeth, and rerneiningerft ctly secure in their place's.

Christian writer, should be prosecuted as - blasphemous in men of opposite sentiments. He then made scale humourous remarks, on the .fact that twelve Jurymen should be empaneled to decide on the plasphemous ten dency o! these publications. We have a clergy in the re ceipt of twenty millions a year for expounding the doe trines of religion, and maintaining the Christianity of the State. in a style of becoming respectability. and yet the judgments of tradesmen and an Attorney-General are to be consulted in these matters. If Mr. Heywood and Mr. Hetherington are to be prosecuted for blaspheme, there is not a respectable bookseller in Manebester who is not guilty of tie same offence—at least all who sell Hume, Bollizighroke, Gibbon, &c. &c., yet these books were allowed to pass unnoticed because they were read by the respectable portion of the community. Men may sold bl.SpllCHly at the rode of 10s. 6d., but no sooner does a book present itself at the small charge of one peony, which would be read by the working people, than the Go vernment think it worth their elide to enter a prosecu tion. Mr Sewles, who denounces Mr. Ileywoe.d for selling " Haskin's Lease" at one penny, -sells books equally as bl ieeht mous, but they cost log. OA. -each, and consequently not so calculated to corrupt the mind.' 01 the people. lie could not account fur thiseseensing incoesisteecy, only by considering that such melt believed that if such books were allowed to circulate a spirit of enquiry would be abroad, which would certainly rota the tsruaidneofof the nminePyares°vle'rsi—ye(aCr parsons.—(Cheers.)

Mr. Jones concluded his address by stating that free discussion was calculated to proriole the happiness and peace of society.—(Cheers.) Mr. BUCHANNAN rose and said he would not take op much of their time, but would again refresh their seems ries, by again reading the resolution. He remarked that every attempt forcibly •to upset free diacusltion was op posed to the liberties of the people. He then caged iato a contrast between British society before and deter the Reformation, and showed that everything great in this country was the result of free discussion. se, re marked that it was singular that a Church having 'thin its pale all the Aristocracy should feel its existence en dangered by the publication of a penny pamphlet. Ane would thine, having existed 1840 years, it would have been beyond the reach of danger. It argued that they believed its existence was not based on immutable truth, or else why so sensitive at the beginning to , inquire. He would conclude by seconding the resolution. Mr. TILMAN rose to support it, and said, this was onp of the most important meetings he had been at Per sOntu elate. _ s telt interested-whets be appeared before - • web of ICnitappoi C g iven up t.e .oe lity be -the hurch of Rome ; this being true, there was srptissibi lity that Mr. Haslam might be right, •and his proseentors in the wrong. Reference bad been made to blasphem", piracy, and other laws relating to these mssters-1806 years had Christianity existed, and yet they talk of de stroying it. Five more curates were wanted not keg since—a striking proof that their Church was not what it pretended to be, or else that they, its ministers, had failed to do their duty. Mr. T. sat down, by sup porting the resolution. The CHAIRMAN then put it to the me ting, and it was unanimously adopted. nes, Wst Tuomesoe, Newcastle, moved the next re solution, and said.—The Bible not only gave directions re specting the articles of their faith, but also - the manner i n which it was to be extended. The Apostlei appealed to every man's conscience in the si g ht-of. his eMeator for a manifestation of the truth ; and a man who ettempts to coerce the opinions of another proves at least his incapa bility to maintain his position by more rational means. He then remarked, if books only of a particular' ind are to be published, how is it we have no standing trilitinal ap pointed to decide in these cases. Such a tribunal, emir poied of such men as Phillpotts of Exeter, and a less bfilse liant satellite,Brindley, would keep one right, and the dise: position of the two men recommended them to ea ch • ets• office.—( Laughter.) The speaker then dwelt on the conduct of the Dissenters in protesting against the Con duct of Government for instituting such prosecuti:ms, and remarked at the time Thorogoed was incarcerated that as , appeal was made to the nation, and they came out as the redoubtable heroes of civil and religious liberty ; but so soon as an attempt is made in the person of another to violate these principles they are quite silent : it goes to prove at least that liberty with th,ern is a word ef dubious import—that it is not an equality of right they meant ; but simply a power to protect themselves, leaving every other class of the community to take their chance.—( Hear, hear.) Mr. Thomason then and dressed himself as a Chartist, and said that to them the question was of infinite importance. These *tacks epos their constitutional liberties had not been attempted all a once but by imperceptiele degrees, and if the liberty of the subject could be violated as it had been in the person of Mr. Hetherington without a protest from 'the nation, the Legislature would go on making one abridgment after another of their liberties, till they gpt the press pro scribed, their right of public meeting denied, and the ore ratives of this country reduced to a state of as complete vassalage as the serfs of the Russians.—(lleai, hear.) There is not a right we possess that has not been main tained by the life's blood of some of the brave of our Tea ry ; and their duty was not only to keep those immunniee inviolate, but transmit them improved and amended to pos terity.—(Loud cheers.) The Speaker then tneved the resolu'ion, which was, " That this meeting 'jets with considerable regret the prosecution which has bees instituted by her Majesty's Attorney-General tigaiest Mr. Henry Hetherington, of London, far Earn Haslam's Letters to the Clergy,' and expresses its conviction that such prosecutions are opposed to the spirit of political liberty, and highly dangerous to the Govern ment enforcing them." The speaker sat down amid loud cheers. wished an adjourninent for about a month. It was arranged there should be adjournment ; and it was ultimately ad journed to this day. The accounts have been delivered to tbem : they are most voluminous,tto make and a o re ut to I th a e pp g l r i e e a d te t s o t e xtent possible for a bankrupt Mr. Brierley, my assignee, some five weeks since, fu know whether he had anything to state as to its being in correct ; and he said, " There is plenty of time yet, Mr. Jacob." I applied to him from time to time, and that was his answer ; and I don't think that this is exactly correct to adjourn me another month. The accounts have been at Peet and Hcbson'e, for insprction : and if I am to be adjourned from time to time, after giving my time and trouble to assist the assignors, and especially with the small allowance they give me, 1 must put myself under the protection of the Coult. They allow me only 21. 'los. a seek, and I have a wife and five children down in Liverpool : and, as to the information and exertions I have used in my accounts, I would ask the COmmissioners er the accountant if I have not done all that man could. Itio man on earth could have done more. If there are any questions to be asked, I am ready to an swer thorn now ; because I want this thing to go forth to the public. Previous to my examination this morning, there was a private examination at Mr. Saunder's office ; and all I can say is, that, if any creditor wants to know anything about any goods had from the beginning to the end of the concern, lam ready to answer him. I have no secrets in my matters; they are all straightforward.—Mr. Trafford :: To what length do these accounts go back ? thekrupt : To 1833, Sir.—Mr. Brierley : Not at of them. I may state, that, as to one account, that of Messrs. Nicholson and Green, we are not satisfied.— Bankrupt: I will give you any explanation; there are my ledgers; take them, and examine into it.—Mr. Brierley: Yes; but you have not explained it; we have no means of understanding it.—Bankrupt : The fact is, that Joseph Green and Co., paid me 2901. cash, which is not in cluded in their account. It is in my day-book ; but, being in 1839, it has oniased going through the ledger, that is all. Instead of 700/. more coming from Joseph Green and Co. if we take off the 2901. which they wanted to rob themselves of, it reduces - the amount due from them, that is alt ` Mr.. -Trafford:_. -YOSaaelatst - +la is a very strong point. a raßaßkesstpt a! *-Iteeirtd. twig° so , far 1 back into the ledger ; if we had, we should have de tected the thing.—Maa ; Brierley e Air. Saunders told me of this a month ago.—Bankrupt: Yes; Ent when did you deliver Green's account? . Mr. Brierley : That was delivered only two or three days ago.—Bankrupt : Well ; I'll make my balance sheet complete in one hour from this time. At the same time, if the asssignees think it is for the interest of the estate that there should be an adjournment, I will not say another word. But don't let it go forth to the public that there are suspicious circumstances in my case.—Mr. Brierley : We state distinctly that , there are some accounts which we have found incorrect already, and we want further time to examine and make inqui ries.—Mr. Trafford : Everybody who has seen this bank ruptcy, and sat at these meetings, must be perfectly well aware that there are transactions which require in the nature of them a great deal of investigation,—rnuch more than in ordinary cases. And this account is in itself a very voluminous account. I don't know what time it will take the assignees to go through it ; but when the assignees come to this account, and they find one thing wrong, and have to inquire into it, if they should l: :d others, it would never de to take an examination into these things before the Commissioners, because it would take a great many meetings, and waste a great deal of money, to the injury of the estate ; therefore it is necessary for the'assignees to have an opportunity of inquiring into them elsewhere. It certainly is a long time ; for the 25th July was the day on which your last examination was to take place, and hero we are in Dacemlao- But, as to those matters of inquiry and particuler examinations, I don't know whether it wteild be lee per to pass you before those things are ex plained to the satisfaction of the assignees. There is no fault upon the assignees for not pressing the thing further, for the assignees have come to us for meetings, as often as we could have them almost, under the circumstances.—Mr. Brierley : I can as sure you, Sir, we have acted very kindly this morning to Mr. Jacob.—Mr. Saunders : The great bulk of the estate lies under those very transactions which are now under investigation.—Mr. Brierley : Yes, and they will be in a fair way to be cleared up at half-past nine o'clock to morrow morning; far I shall be in London then, at the very place.—Bankrupt: Well, I court every inquiry into it. And if these accounts arc not long enough, I will fur- nish you with any further particulars you may require. But I don't want it to go forth to the public that there arc certain points which arc suspicious, for that may injure my character hereafter.—Mr. Brierley: We only ask for a month.—Mr. Trafford 1 Tho assignees. I am sure, have come forward in a very kindly spirit to Mr. Jacob, quite as much, if not more so, than could possibly be expected. There is no fault at all upon them. There can be no doubt as to the propriety of adjourning. What do you say?—Mr. Saunders : I should think it would be better to take it for a month, Sir ; inasmuch as, if we take it for a shorter period, we may have to adjourn again ; and it will be necessary to have one or two of those parties before you. For instance, we shall want Mr. Cooke down, of the firm of Cooke, Son, Gladstone, and Co. ; and we shall want another pasty, Mr. Moses Levy, who had been asked whether he would be willing to pay the cost price for goods which his firm bought at 45 per cent. off the invoice price, which was a very low one. He came, and be said be would write to his London house on the subject. There is a good deal to be done, there re., m.-.. 1 ! think it will be best to. take a month. It would appear that Cooke, - Gradrone, and ~ to the amount of about 14,0001. of the bankrupt's goods for about 7,000/. during a certain period, and, from a certain place ; and, during the whole of that pe riod, they had only obtained from the same place 7 goods belonging to other people to the extent of 3P91 , so that the case must go before the public in a differ- 1 ent way to the ordinary course. It is necessary to have all those things explained, with Mr. Jacob's explana. tions as to what they are, which he has been very wil ling to give all along.—Mr. Brierley : Quite so ; I have no fault to find with him in that respect.—lt was then arranged that the adjournment should be to Friday, the 22d of January ; and as Mr. Jacob's Sab bath would commence between three and four o'clock on that day, the examination was fixed to be held at ten, instead of eleven o'clock —Mr. Brier ley then asked Mr. Trafford whether he would recom mend any additional allowance to the bankrupt.—Mr. Trafford said, he could only interfere to approve the'allow ance which the assignees in their discretion might make. —Mr. Jacob said, that a bankrupt in London the other day, in no better situation than himself, had been allowed Wt. a week ; though there were very little assets in hand. The assignees were considering whether he should have 81, and one of the Commissioners ordered that he should have 10/. He (Mr. Jacob) did not ask for that; but if the assignees would allow him three guineas a week from his fiat, tnd travelling expenses, that was all he asked. His family was in Liverpool, and he had been here since Monday, for the benefit of the assignees.—Mr. Brierley . Well, I think we eau manage that.—Mr. Jacob : I must live, and I hays been used to live at a very different rate, as you know. The examination was then adjourned at one o'clock, to Friday the 22d January next. ..,,}' .qr LONDON, .FRI DAY, DECEMBER 25, 184().. PUBLICATIONS. EVENING . EXHIBITIONS, as well as.

A SIGHT AND IIEARING. 39, ALBEMARLE-STREET, PICCADILLY, (Opposite the York Hotel). and 76. KING WILLIAM-STREET, BANK OF ENGLAND. THE INVISIBLE OPERATIVE VOICE CONDUCTOR, effected by the Messrs. S. and B. SOLONION S, OPTICIAN S :int} t..URISTSta tit. ROYAL FAMILY, 39, ALBEMARLE-STREET, 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 wool in 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 n ith great distinctness ; by the use of which both the sight and hearing become much improved. The Messrs. S. and B. SOLOMON'S disclaim all con nexion with persons of the sine name, and the sale of am ber spectacles ; the pernicious use of amber spectacles being now well kri iwn 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 " Pat en t Spectacles" are no ethe r than those of amber ; the histor y and - destruct ive use of that mate rial for Spectacles to imperfect vision is f ull y and most satis factorily explained by the undermentioned scientific authority : From the " Dictionary of Arts and Sciences" of Andrew Ure, " Amber is an indurated vegetable juice, and not p roduced by the laws of crystallisation, but by the same causes which M.D., F.R.S, &c., &c• 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 ; the workmen, too, are subjectter great danger by han dlin g to nervous trem ors in their wrists, arms , &c. ; they encoun such dreadful excited eleetrics ; amber grows with lime , and is a pt to take tire, and is of such a soft nature when expose d to war mth, that it swells, bubble s up, and will burn away wit h flame." The above Dr. Ure's statements are further confirmed by Sir D. Brewster and Pliny, as also by Parks and Heins, 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 only to be had at their establishments, 39, Albemarle -street (opposite the York Hotel), and 76, King William-street, Bank.

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 dinary practitioner. To eater 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 a a careful investigation of its real cause, has been set down to the score of consumption, will, an perusing this work Le astonished to find that in nine tenths of the cases of young persons of both sexes, who perish of what is called pulmonary consumption, hprt 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 re s p onsibilit y 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 sue i h attack may be, and thus he will be enabled to ohec k the evil n 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 outt he disastrous consequences which are sure to follow from them, if not relinquished.

The adjourned meeting of creditors of Mr. Henry Jacob, foi proof of debts and the last examination of the bankrupt, whose examination wee , originally appointed for the 25th July last, and which has been several times adjourned, in birder to obtain further infeaMation, or tar give the bank. tupt time to give, explanations or to complete his balance , sheet, took place on Friday week, before the above-named gentlemen, of the second list of Commissioners of Bank rupts. There was a rather large attendance of creditors, and some time was occupied in the proof of debts by, vari. ous parties. It may be right to state here, that Mr. Jacob, the bankrupt, carried on business as a silversmith and jeweller, in King-street, and was also a general dealer or merchant in this town. The fiat issued against him in July last ; and the creditors met on the 24th and 25:h of that month, when the bankrupt surrendered, and Messrs. Adam Brierley and James Smith (of the firm of Smith, i Edgleye and Smith, Piccadilly) were appointed his assig nees. The amount of his debts is stated to be about 30,0001. The debt of the petitioning creditors (Messrs.. Blackett, Thackray, • and Co., linen and .vollen mem ehaete)_ is about 5,000/.—ln the course of the proof of debt, Mr. Saunders (of the firm of Atkinson, Birch, and Saunders, solicitors under the fiat) interrogated Mr. Jacob • as to a bill, dated 25th February, 1840, for 18/. 17s. drawn by Mr. Wm. Higginbottom, of Macclesfield ; and Mr. Saunders asked the bankrupt to explain how this bill was not inserted in his balance sheet. Mr. Jacob said it was there ; it was included in some account. Mr. Hob son, the accountant, referred to the bankrupt's bill-book, where this bill was found entered. Mr. Barnett Joseph, of Liverpool, having proved a debt due from the bankrupt to himself and hip brother and partner, Mr. Moss Joseph, Mr. Saunders said.he would wish to interrogate Mr. Jo seph. He was accordingly sworn on the Pentateuch, and 'the followlng examination took place :—Did you sell some adiaree in the hnperial Bank to the bankrupt ? I believe there were some sold.— Whosold them? My brother and partner, Moss Josepli.—Whose share were they ? I suppose they were our own shares ; they were allotted to us. —When I were they sold? I have no recollection; but may I ask your motive for this examination ?—Mr. Saunders : They have never been transferred ; there has been no consideration for them ; and therefore we shall want the money back.—Mr. Joseph : How, Sir, no consideration? I don't compre hend you.—Mr. Sattnders : They have never been trans ferred, so as to put you in the position of a vendor; so we shall want the money back fan them. We hold tour un dertaking to transfer them, and they never were trans ferred. What did the bankrupt pay for them ?—Mr. Joseph : I have no recollection ; it was a very small trifle; not more than a few shillings the whole amount.—What was paid for them as near as you can possibly tell ? I have no recollection at all ; all my papers and documents arc in Liverpool, and I was not aware or prepared for such ques tions.—How many shares were sold, Sir? I don't know. I fancy the bankrupt can tell.—But we want to know from you, Sir, how many shares were sold? I have no idea at all : if I was in Liverpool I could give you the informa tion probably, but I cannot give any information here upon the subjeco—Did you ever transfer those shares to the bank rupt? I have no recollection at all.—How long has the transaction passed ? It must be some years ? Yes, it is some tinre linde.—Did you ever transfer those shares to the bank rupt ? I cannot recollect ; the bankrupt can give you more information upon the subject than I can. The transaction, whatever took place, was entirely between my partner and Mr. Jacob ; therefore I am an entire stranger to the whole proceeding a I am entirely in the dark as to the whole.— Can ycu give no information as to the time when Witness : How is it likely ?-111e. Hobson : Wait a mo ment, Sir, and I will read the question to ycu—" Can )ou give no information as to the ti re when, or the place at which, they were sold ?" I can give you no information at all upon the subject. I suppose the consideration the bankrupt paid must have been very trifling. The amount about which you ask must have been very trifling; there were very few shares.—,:The question was repeated. 1 No, Sir, I cannot give you any information; it took place three or four years ago.—Does the letter now produced, marked A [a printed circular from the Imperial Bank] relate to 20,0 f those shares ?—I should suppose it did. 1 have no reason to suppose to the contrary.—Does the cer tificate now produced, marked B, relate to 15 other of such shares? These documents you are putting into my hands I can give you no information at all about.—But that is your name? That is my name; but I never saw this document [the certificate] before; I can give you no information about these papers; I can attach no identity to them, either as regards myself or my partner. I never saw those ducuments before to my knowledge.—Does either of tbeie documents bear your name upon the face of it ? The one you hold in your hand [the cer tificate] does —Were the fifteen shares in the Impe rial Bank allotted to you ? I suppose ss.—Does that cer tificate relate to those shares? I don't know ; lam not uware of ite—Would not that certificate be handed to the bankrupt by yon at the time he made the purchase ? I told you I was not privy to the transaction between the benkript and my brotber.—But who got the money for these shares ? That I cannot tell: I suppose, if you exa mine the bankrupt upon that, he can give you more in formation than I can.—Mr. Saunders I We have got his examination.—Witness : I can give you no information of the transaction Detweett tisc bo,,krapt and my i..r.:ahor. Was ricrt this certificate given by you to the bankrupt at the time be got these shares? No; the transaction did not take place between the bankrupt and myself, and therefore I could not have banded him that docu ment.—Was not that certificate in your possession before the glares were sold ? Never, Sir.—Did you never see it before the shares were Fold ? If you repeat the question, I must repeat the answer.—No ; I asked you, if it had been in your possession ; I now ask you if you never saw it ? Not to my recollection ; not to my knowledge ;—no; I never saw it.—Will you swear that you did not see it before the shares were sold ? I have sworn to my evidence already, Sir. I will swear I never saw it to my knowledge.—But will you swear positively that you never saw it? I don't think that I ever saw it to my knowledge : please to bear in mind that you are putting a question to me about a transaction that must have elapsed three or four years ago; there fore, it is impossible to tax my memory with a thing of that kind.—Arc you willing to refund to the assignees of the bankrupt the money he paid for the 35 shares before mentioned ? I cannot comprehend the nature of your question at all.—(To the bankrupt) : Pray, Sir, how much did you pay for those shares ? I should like the gentlemen present to have some know ledge as to the circumstances.—Bankrupt : It was a very trifling amount indeed.—Witness: It was not 5/. [The last question was repeated.] Certainly not, if you tell me you want the monemback. I fancy those shares were never of any great value in the market.—Mr. Saunders : They were never transferred.— Witness : That is no fault of the seller of any shares; but may I again ask the same question, why do you put these questions to me ? ..,-air. Saunders: Because we want the money back.— Witness : But why question me in this way ?—Mr. Saun ders : Because tve want to get at the facts on examination. —.Witness : Well, I only wish to impress on the minds of gentlemen present, that the transaction was very tailing ; from the tenor of your examination they might imagine that the amount was very considerable. I only wish to show that it was not more than 41. or 51.—A Creditor : A public meeting was held in the Ball of Science, Well, that will do , as far as it g oes.—[The examination Campfield, on Tuesday evening, December 22, to take in the form of interrogatory and answer was then read , into consideration the most effectual me ans of assistin g over to the witness , and he was re q uested to sign it. ]— Henry Hetherington, who has been found g u ilty o f bias- Bankrupt : You had better pay t he mone y back for the phemy for selling " Haslam's Letters to the • Clerey " e shares before you sign.—Mr. Saunders : Don't inter- Mr. GODDARD was called to the Chair, who said it fore.

' The question comes home to every man, will the Govern ment be able to prevent the publication of this book ? as a publisher, I ssy No ; for by prosecuting they excite a curios'Sy in the people to know what it contains, and thereby extended the blasphemy of which they were frightened.—( [lsar.) At the time Richard Carlile pub lished Paine's woiks, a prosecution was commenced, and he was sent to Dorchester Gaol ; subscriptions came from all parts of the country; and at the termination of his con finement he was a comparatively rich man. - He set up business in Fleet-street, and the sale was immense So long as the I rosecutions were pending ; but no sooner did it subside than the sale fell off, and Mr. Carlile became a poor man. The notice of his discharge was signed by Sir Robert Peel, Prosperity Robinson, and Lord Liverpool. It was the same with the " Poor Man's Guardian ;" so long as it was considered worthy of prosecution it circa. lated 40,000 weekly ; but no sooner did it become a legal paper than it soon became extinct. Haslam's letters were a losing concern till the prosecution, since which they have been called for in all parts of the country, and are about to be reprinted in consequence of the prosecution having called them into notice. Lord Denman had said many a time he did set like prosecuting, for opinion's sake. Any person who did not see that prose cution did not increase instead of suppressing dangerous notions, must be as blind as a stone. Mr. H. continued for some time showing the impolicy of prosecuting for opinion's sake, and seconding the resolution, resumed his seat amid the cheers of the assembly. Mr. JONES moved that the resolutions be transcnittei to Lord Nornianby, and that the resolutions be inserted in the Morning Chronicle, The Sun, Weekly Dina, and the Northern Star, and Manchester Advertiser.
