The Work which is now p-esented 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 a 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 front 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 mere fre quently than is at all suspected. Thu 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 practict a so often introduced into schools, whereby the health and ultithately the lives of his pupils are sure to be compromised, unless the evil be checked in proper time. He will hero 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 of his young cha r g es, what the rea 'pause of such attackattaek an ma v y 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 fellow from them, if not relinquished. Messrs. CURTIS and CO. are to be consulted daily at their residence,' No, 7, Frith-street, Soho, from Ten till Three, and Five till Eight in the Evening; and Country Patients are re quested to be as minute as possible in the detail of their cases, —as to the duration of the complaint, the symptoms, age, ge neral habits of living, and occupation in life of the party ; the communication must be accompanied by the "usual Consulta tion Fee of 1/.," -without wh'eh ne notice whatever can be taken of their t.l , ?licttion ; casts, the trust i:,vielsl.l.t -' secrecy may be relieu on.

This work was originally published under the Superintend ence of the Society for the Diffusion of Useful Knowledge.

It is printed iu this con densed form, that an original work of authenticity, on the im portant subject of China, may be circulated at the cheapest rate. " Mr. Davis resided twenty years at Canton, where he at length rose to be chief of the factory ; he accompanied Lord Amherst's Embassy to Pekin; and he ranks as one of the few Europeans who have ever really mastered the language and literature of China. We have a right, therefore, to consider the statements which he has n',w submitted to the public as containing as full and correct a view of this singular people, of their government, laws, and institutions—and, in short, of the whole frame of their society, as the many difficulties with which the subject is beset will admit."—Quarterly Review.

" Tkis Court therefore recommends the Court of Directors to adopt such measures as may be necessary to ascertain the state of the law on this important question, with the view of petitioning Parliament to define such power, and to place it under constitutional control." The said COURT of DIRECTORS do likewise give notice That another Proprietor has intimated his intention to sub mit the following motion at the said Quarterly General Court, viz.— . . .

Her Majesty's ship at anchor off the town of Beyrout, in Syria, August, 1840. Mr DEAR Yo ur ga ll ant o ld friend Commo dore Napier i n t h e P owerful, with Ginges, Th unae rer, and Edinburgh li ne o f battle ships, Castor frigate and Gorgon steamer, h as opened the ball against Mehemet Ali and the elite of his Egyptian army. The town of Beyrout and camp of the army are under the muzzle of his guns, and if he is provoked, the first would be a heap of ruins in a lem minutts,—and the second, must be quickly deserted. He has published a spirited ad dress to the inhabitants of he Mountains, calling on them to shake off the yoke of the tyrant, and calling on the Turkish soldiers to return to the allegiance of the Sultan. He cuts off all their supplies from Alexandria or elsewhere by detaining eve vessel laden with provisions or muni tions of war, releases their p r i son e rs , an d will not suffer their reinforcement s to land ; at the same time that the town is supplying our ships with vegetables, milk, &c., and even fresh beef at his command. How long Mehemet Ali will suffer this with 18 or 20 sail of the line, and nearly as many frigates, mostly ready for sea in Alexandria, not four days' sail hence, and ge nerally a fair wind, remains to be seen. 'the Castor and Gorgon are out, keepin g a bright eye to windward to give the Commodore the earliest information of their approach, as it is the general opinion that Mehemet will not suffer his army to be starved, or his province to be disturbed, by so inferior a force. Give us a good breeze and fair sea-room, we all fancy the Commodore will not let them return to Alexandria unscathed. One and all exclaim against our peace complements, and it must be some satisfaction to the Gallant Captain of the Thunderer to know that there is not an officer of the squadron, from the Commodore downwards, who is not precisely of his opinion, and grateful to him for his endeavours to place us in our proper positaiaas as British men of war. If they come (and why not ?) we must expect at least four times our number. We ought to be ab!e to use both broadsides, and ma occuvre our ships a% the same time. We all know that the numerical strength of our crews will not admit of doing so. That we have not any small arm men to check theirs, that we have no sail trimmers but what arc borrowed from the guns, and that to manoeuvre our ships properly, and avail ourselves of the superiority of our seamanship, we must abandon a great number of our guns ! In short, that the want of a proper number of men in each ship till reduce the 84 to the force of a 70, and the 74 to that of a GO gun-ship. We all firmly believe, if we had our full complement of men, in the event of action, victory and promotion would follow. We all know that the C - minnodore will do as much as man dare do ; and we all feel that the numerical weak ness of our crews must weigh with him and his brother officers ; we all bitterly lament the continuance of such a system, and call on our rulers to give us fair play, and place us in the position of doing our duty under every emergency, accordieg to the number of guns we carry. I am, my dear STEAM-BOAT CHALLENGE FOR ONE THOUSAND GUINEAS. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SIR—My attention having been directed to the above challenge, which appeared in your paper of the 17th instant, I take the earliest opportunity of noticing it, and shall feel obliged by your inserting my reply, and anxiety to test te boasted merits of the ENTIRE SCREW of Mr. Smith with iny patented improvements in propelling by means of curved blades, or segments of a screw, upon which plan I have been experiment in.. during the last two years. 'Mr. Smith knows perfectly well that there is no paddle-wheel steamer in the kingdom of the exact power, tonnage, and draught of water of the Archi medes, and consequently be tuns no risk of losing his money ; but, to give him a chance of winning mine, 1 agree that a trial shall take place in the " OPEN SEA," over a distance of one hundred or five hundred miles for the sum named by him, but UPON THIS PLAN, viz. That the Archimedes shall be fitted with the " Entire Screw or Worm," PATENTED BY Mr. Smith, and the distance and time of performance noted by qualified persons, and appointed by each party, the Archime des" doing the distance first- That the screw shall then be removed, and the vessel fitted with my curved blades or segments of a screw ; the expense of such al teration, together with all the incidental charges conse quent on the trial, such as coals, wages of engineers, &c., to be defrayed by me. The alteration to my me thod may be effected in a few hours, by merely taking the screw from the shaft, and fitting the segments, which are so contrived as to be easily adjusted to any position cr angle required. By this plan the merits of the two inventions would he fairly tested, and the world would know whether Mr. Smith had overcome at last all the drawbacks and disadvantages which all Patentees of the " Archime dian screw " had been obliged to yield to, or for ever have to contend with. If Mr. Smith thinks my proposal one-sided, or likely to throw a preponderating degree of risk and trouble on his part, in proportion to mine, I will (provided he complies with my proposition of the Archimedes making the trials) sail him either of the before-named distances, FIVE Hundred Guineas to Fowl, and thank him too. N.B.—The trial to take place before the 15th Oct. next.—l am, S:r, your obedient Servant, JAMES LOWE, Patentee, No. 38, late 27, Wellington-street, Sept. 21, 15340. Blackfriars•road.

I ONE 1 MARKET and CITY NEWS. (MONDAY EVENING.) TlMES.—Private letteis from Lisbon mention a great fear prevalent in ti.at city of an insurrection in the Algarves, it being known that the Lisbon Revolu tionary Club had sent down twelve contos of rein (nearly 3001.) to their agent. The hope of tranquillity seemed to rest on the ships of war sent on the 1111 to take the suspicious corps on board. The Finance Com mittee has submitted a project to the Cortes, in which it is proposed that when sales of national property can not be raised at the present terms, which are about one third in cash, one-third in finales, and one-third in paper money, the Commissioners shall accept of onc sixth cash, one-sixth titulos, one••thi. - d in paper money, and the remaining one-third in bonds of thi, internal or external funded debt or titulos which were once admissible in payment of national property, and are well known by the name of " blue papers." Cer tain contingencies would cause the admission of three fifths instead of one-third of these "blue papers." The sales of national property during last June, July, and August brought in about twenty-four contos per month on an average, only a third of which would be payable in bonds or titulos. Again, the price of the Three per Cent. bonds being about 21 per cent., and of the blue papers being 14 per cent., the purchasers would naturally prefer the latter as an instrument of purchase, and thus it is disadvantageous for the holders of bonds to be classed with those of " blue papers." Lord Howard de Walden has made some progress i■ the treaty of commerce between England and Portugal, the latter conceding to the former the same privileges as to the United States, on condition of favourable stipule- tions on our side. Some desirable modifications in the Customs tariffs have been submitted to, and the great point of contention, which is a reduction in the duty on Newfoundland fish. 7Vill, it is supposed, be waived by M. Magalbaes. present duty, it is contended, on the English side, amounts almost to a prohibition, and no sath•factory reason can be assigned by the Mi nisters, since the Portuguese fisheries do not produce enough for home consumption, and the fsh being bad in quality, and badly cured, it cannot be sent to a foreign market. The Chamber of Deputies, wilite authorizing the Administration to modify the tariffs, enjoins that no treaty shall be ratified with— out the consent of the Legislature. The Confiana Company Directors have written circulars to the civil authorities of the Government in the provinces, offering to obtain preferment for such of them as efEcaeiously assist in the recovery of taxes mortgaged to the Com pany in preference to such as are due to the State. There is besides a promised gratuity of from forty to sixty moidorei. The Duke of Palmella is said to have used every exertion to induce the Sztembrist Viscount Sada Bandeira to join the Administration, but all his efforts have proved fruitless. The Douro navigation is in a very unsettled state. Tile Minister for the Home Department is said to have consented, on the proposal of several Deputies, that the treaty shall not pass through the house this session, upon which the Spanish Minister protested that he would demand his passports if the sittings were closed viithout an approval of the treaty. He has even applied to the King for the fulfilment of his promise. Bills on England are stated to be very scarce, and mercantile operations so reduced that an exchange operation to the amount of 20,0001. can hardly be effected without causing an alte ration in the tales of 2 or more per cent. POST.—The only important foreign intelligence re ceived this afternoon has been in a private letter re ceived by the Mediterranean mail from the Bombay correspondent of the house of Cockerell and Co., to the effect that an express had arrived from Calcutta, with intelligence of the arrival of a part of the English fleet off the coast of China, and the total destruction of the forts of the Bocca Tigris. This intelligence has been published in a third edition of one of our Contemporaries, who is remarkable for his early and very improbable news from the Chinese empire, for on this occasion there are numerous improbabilities surrounding the third edition of our Contemporary—as that the portion of the fleet so arrived on the Chinese coast should have entered alone, and been as breathlessly in haste to have all the glory of the destruction of the forts of the Bocca Tigris ; that the steam-ship Enter prise shou d have returned to Calcutta with the intel ligence, although no such steam-ship was enumerated in the preceding account of the fleet ; nor why a steam-ship should have been dispatched to Calcutta with intelligence of so little real importance as the de struction of the outside forts, which the Chinese never were expected to be able to defend ; or, more than all, why a private express should have been sent across the jungle, for a distance of 1,100 miles from Calcutta to 130inbay. As tho market for -tea has bee■ attempted to be influenced by this intelligence, it is proper to ob serve, that, however rrpectable may be the parties who received this intell;”nce, there is little doubt that it has been a lubrication in Bombay. HERALD.—lncreasing confidence in the reality of the :mission of Count Lara, has raised the spirits of the holders of Spanish Stock. The fluctuations above al luded to are, at the same time, fully explained ; but these fluctuations go more to prove its real value, that' would dozens of pamphlets on the subject. Here are certain laws founded upon principles of equity, and it would be but fair, if the Spanish Government would remember that their foreign creditors have naturally a prejudice in favour of their own customs. When a trader finds himself in embarrassed circumstances, as a first step towards redeeming his credit, he calls his cre ditors together, lays before them a statement of his debts and assets, and offers to divide among them the whole that he possesses. The Spanish Government appear to consider the opposite to be correct ; they raise the revenue to the highest possible point, supply the de mands of the civil list, the court, &c., first, and then apply the balance to the exigencies of the State, leaving those who contributed 'the larger share to making the kingdom whit it is, co.npletely in the back ground. The principle of common honesty seetn3 to be perfectly misunderstood among them. Nut only is the interest of the bonds, most solemnly guaranteed, after a large sacrifice of principal, still unpaid, but tim Treasury Bonds, granted under a still more solemn contract, are merely regarded by them (at perhaps their real value) as mere waste paper. If any of our countrymen were to act thus, thousands would immediately cry out against the atrocity of the proceed ing ; yet, with laws. framed upon justice, the English bondholders, amenable to those laws, are by the in ertness of their Government deprived of their just demands. SUN.—The Continental advices being more favour al:lk., the funds were steady to-day. For present deli very Consols have been marked 88/ to 881, and for time 88a to 881. Exchequer Bills have been steady at 63. to Bs. premium, and India Bonds at Bs. to ss. dis count. The New Three-and-a-Half per Cents. brought 98 to 97i, the Reduced Three-and-a-Half per Cents. 97i to 97/ ex-div., and the Three per Cent. Annuities 88 ex-div., being all rather higher. Although the state of affairs in Spain promises now to become more settled, the Active Stock of that king dom did not assume a steady appearance, having been quoted to-day at 241 to 23, or a fall of 1/ per cent. on Saturday's value. A Pigeon express was supposed to have brought some unfavourable news from Paris, as the fall only occurred late this afternoon, or else a sale was made by a Bear party for effect. At any rate the fall was both sudden and unexpected, and some said a failure had occurred, which latter version, we believe, is the correct one. The accounts from Lisbon have led to a decline in Portuguese Bonds, the New Five per Cents. having been heavy to-day at 33/ to 328, and the Three per Cents. at 221 to 22 ; Colombia i Bonds of 1824 have been at 22 to 211 ; Mexican of 1837 at 27 to 27/, and Brazilian at 78 to 781, being all rather lower. Belgian Bonds were 661, for the Three per Cents. and Dutch Two•and-a-Half per Cents. rallied from 508 to 51i, owing to the incre:A,ed buoyancy of the Bourse at Amsterdam. The Share Market was rather animated to-day, and prices generally ranged higher. Great Western 20 to 23, New 9 to 81 ; Birmingham 80 to 781, Manchester and Leeds 23 to 24, and York and North Midland 161 premium. Brighton were 108, Greenwich New 31, Blackwall2l, Eastern Counties 111, Birmingham and Derby 30, Northern and Eastern 11, and South East ern 17 discount. Colonial Bank were at 12 premium. Tea closed on 'Change at 2s. 5/d. to 2s. 41d. per lb., one month. u , CIIRIST S riOSPlTAL.—Yesterday being St. Matthew's-day, the annual. orations were delivered accord ing to custom in the great hall of Christ's Hospital by the senior scholars of the institution. The Lord Mayor and the civic authorities, who generally attend on these occa sions, having previously heard Divine service, proceeded to the hall shortly before two o'clock, by which time every seat, except those reserved for his Lordship and his imme diate friends and attendants, was occupied. Perhaps on no former occasion was the room so crowded with visitors. A great majority of the company present were ladies. The Lord Mayor having taken his seat, the Rev. Dr. Rice, the head master of the school, directed the orations to com mence. The orations were all pronounced with consider able ability. At the conclusion of the orations the scho lars collected the usual largess from the company, who, with the Lord Mayor, took their departure shortly after three o'clock.

SPIRIT of FP.OM TIIE :MOLNING PAYEES OF THIS DAY. (Fro' a the Morning Chronicle.) We find that -we have fallen into a mis:ake in sup poshlg that the C 3ptain Reynolds of the 11th Hussars, whose case is to come before a Court-martial, is the gentleman whose .2; Ise was published in the newspapers week. The na me of the latter is Captain John William Reynold* and that of the former, the senior caps; in, is Captain.. Richard Anthony Reynolds. They :;re in nowise relat .cmi. The Court-martial on Captain Richard Anthony 'Reynolds is to open at Brighton on Friday next. Tr e charges against him trill be found in another column. As for Captain John William Reynolds, his casts is, it seems, finally disposed of ; but t:,ough his trial is over, that of Lord llill is not. As for the conduct of the ;Earl of Cardigan, there cannot be two opinions. The Ear!, when Lord Brudenell, in com mand of the 13 th Hussars, brought certain charges against Capt. We then, who was honourably acquitted of each and all of them. But the tables were turned against the accuser.. The Court declared that in in stituting charges of so serious a nature against Cap tain Wathen, they could not ascribe his motives " solely to a wish to uphold the honour and interests of the army"—a:licavy it aputation—and that "his conduct had been reprehensible in advancing such various and weihty assertions to be subinittedbefore a public tribunal without some sure grounds: of establishing the facts." But the Court did not stop here. They attributed to him " a practice in every respect most dangerous to the discipline and subordination of the corps, and highly detrimental to that harmony and good feeling which !ought to exist between officers ;" and with another, " which cannot be considered otherwise than revolting to every proper and honourable feeling of a gentleman, and as being certain to create disunion, and to be most injurioss to his Majesty's service." And by A general order issued by the present Commander-in- Chief, the finding of the Court-martial was approved and confirmed ; and it was declared that " upon a full consideration of all the circumstances of the case, his Majesty has been pleased to order that Lieut.-Colonel Lord Brudenell shall be removed from the command of the 15th Hussars." When the Commander-in-Chief afterwards appointed Lord Brudenell to the command of the 11 th Hussars, great surprise was generally ex pressed, and the subject was brought before the House of Commons by Sir William Molesworth, first in the way of question to Lord Howick, then Secretary at War, on the 30th March, 1836, and afterwards by motion, on the 3d May following, " that it be referred to a Committee to inquire into the conduct of the Com mander of the Forces in appointing Lieutenant- Colonel Lord Brudenell to the Lieutenant-Colonelcy of the 11 th Light Draeoons." Lord Brudenell, then a Member of the House of Commons, made an able and effective defence. The person who came with least credit out of the business was Lord Hill. Mr. O'Connell declared that "if the mo- tion related only to Lord Hill, and did not involve Lord -Brudenell, he certainly should have sup ported it ;" and Mr. Hume declared that " he .had no hesitation in saying that for himself the com plaint he made was principally against Lord Hill, for having, as Commander-in-Chief, sanctioned the verdict of the court-martial,'and proclaimed its sentence, in the terms they had heard that night at the head of every regiment in the service, and now coming forward and re-appointing the Noble Lord without any explanation to satisfy the minds either of officers or men that that sentence was a harsh and unjust one on the Noble Lord." Sir William Molesworth wished to avoid dividing the House, but a division was insisted on, and the motion was lost by a majority of 322 to 42. The insinuations against Lord Brudencli in the finding of the court-martial had reference to a circumstance spoken of in every society at the time. The al luding to it was, however, strongly censured by Mr. O'Connell among others. "He gave the court martial that decided on the case of Captain Wathen full credit for integrity. He personally knew but one man amongst them ; but he knew that one would not do an intentional wrong. They did, however, err most grossly—they were decidedly wrong—and want far beyond the bounds of their duty, in censuring a man who had not been heard upon the point which incurred their censure." After all, however, this much must Le said in favour of the court-martial, and Lord Hill confirming their sentence, that though Lord Brudenell - . was not upon his trial, yet substantially they were in the right, for more than enough came out on Captain Wa then's trial, on the very best evidence, to satisfy every impartial person that Lord Brudenell was not a man of a temper and habits to qualify him to command gentlemen. Lord Hill, however, like other weak men, having supposed himself in this case to have been unjust towards Lord Brudenell, seems to have come to the determination to throw his shield over bim in all time to con.e, do what he may. Of the 11 th Regiment it was stated by Sir William Moles worth,, on the 4th May, 1836, th a t " a m o re g allant regiment does not exist in his Mijcsty's service, nor one that has better served its country—in Egypt, in the Peninsula, at Waterloo, with the array of occupation in France ; thence, seventeen years ago, removed to India, at Bhurtpore, and elsewhere it has distinguished itself : some of its officers have been nearly as many years in the army as the Noble Lord has lived years in :his world. The two Majors have served with their regi ment since the years 1806 and 1811. With what feelings will they view the advancement over their heads of this young officer, who has never heard the sound of a musket, except in the mimic combats of a review ; who entered the army in 1824—with un exampled rapidity obtailed an unattached Lieu tenant-Colonelcy in 1830—in 1832 the command of a regiment—in 1834, two years afterwards, was removed from that command for alleged misconduct—and now, in 1836, two years more, is deemed the fittest and most proper person to command their regiment." The entrance of the Earl of Cardigan into this regiment seems to have been speedily followed by the unhappi ness of the officers subject to his control. His hand seems to he against every man, and every m in's hand against him.lt i 3 impossible that all this can be acciden tal—that Lord Cardigan is peculiarly unlucky in falling in with persons with whom he cannot agree. Bonaparte used to say there is no such thing as ill-luck ; when the ill luck is carefully inquired into, it will always be found that it is attributable to some misconduct. And, indeed, all men of the world, in some respects, act upon Bonaparte's opinion ; for whenever a man has a succession of quarrels on his hands, he is shunned as dangerous. People do not trouble them selves to inquire into the particulars—they say that a man may once or twice be so unfottunate as to be un able to avoid a quarrel, but if he be constantly em broiled it must be his own fault. In the case of Cap tain John William Reynolds, enough has transpired to prove that the Earl of Cardigan, in the message sent to him by Captain Jones, forgot the courtesy that was due from one gentleman to another. H's Lordship may have a dislike to the sight a black Moselle bottle on a mess table—(as some men faint at the sight of spiders)—and if he had publicly acquainted Captain J. W. Reynolds with his feeling on the subject, the chances are that his wish would have been complied with. But there seems no reason on earth why the Earl of Cardigan, because be dislikes black bottles, should send a message to a gentleman, that would be deemed harsh in the cat , e of a menial. That one message speaks volumes. It is a key to the disposition of the Earl of Cardigan. The man who could send such a message, could do what would render every man subject to his caprice supremely miserable. The Earl of Cardigan may be a good officer —he may have many high and even generous qualities ; but most persons would in that one incident of the black bottle feel a strong disposition to keep at a convenient dis tance from him. But then, say the Horse Guards, discipline must be enforced. This is the way of all others to destroy discipline. A g entleman doesnot, by becoming an officer, renounce all title to the courtesies of life. When the superio r officer stretches his authority till it poisons social life, he inspires in those under him a disposition to question even the legitimate exer cise of authority. Of all tyrannies that which extends to the hours of relaxation is the most insupportable. if it be wished that officers should be obeyed, care must also be taken that authority is not abused. Discipline cannot be enforced by the dereliction of its duty towards Captain J. W. Reynolds, exhibited by the Commander in-Chief. The feeling that officers are to be subject to all the caprices of their superiors —even to the violation of all the courtesies of life—must destroy all those ge nerous feelings In which discipline will have its best guarantee. He who aspires to command others should always be able to command himself. The whole coun against Lord Hill . We have never try is exclaiming had two opinions as to his conduct. The generous feelings of Englishmen are in arms again s t t h e doctrine,s that gentlemen are to be subject without appeal to their superior officers, even i n matters of social in tercourse. We shall next hear of a colonel ordering a captain to brush his coat, or clean his shoes. Where is military obedience to stop, if the social board is not to afford protection from ungentlemanly treatment. MARRIAGE IN HIGH LIFE.—On Saturday ,ast, at St. James's Church, Westminster, the Honourable Edward Kenyon, youngest son of Lord Kenyon, to the Hon. Miss Caroline Susan Catharine Beresford, third daughter of the late Lientenant-General Lord George Beresford. The fair bride was given away by Field.. Marshal Viscount Beresford. There were present at the solemnization his Grace the Archbishop of Armagh, Vis count and Viscountess Beresford, Lord John Beresford, Ladies Catharine and Anne Beresford, Lord Kenyon, and a select family circle. Lady Anne Beresford, gave att elegant dejeune to the wedding party. VALUABLE ExcHANGE.—A surgeon, residing between Bolton and Manchester, took his pony to Turton fair with the intention of selling it,or making an exchange, as it did not exactly suit his purpose. The poney was worth 121. ; and shortly after he had arrived at the fair a hargilin was struck, and he paid a sovereign in exchange for " a prime 'un as ever run afore a tail ;" nay, so excel 7 lent was it was that the parties could not even afford to give the gentlemen a shilling out for "luck." In •t a h the minutes afterwards two men came up w him l w an i ders; astounding information that the horse had got e,g. that they " never seed one wur blondurt ~' not take it out of the fair they would shoot it, alarmed, could " ston to do it by law."

But.the Commissioners are hold men ; they are re solved to stem the tide of public opinion, and in : Iv case rather to break than bend. Accordingly, ! present report, they manfully avow their dotermina ition to adhere, ur,flinchinely, to their former princi. pies and their former practices ; and not only so. lust to carry , hen, out to still harsher extremes. Their utmost force of argument, their most forniidaLle ari ay iof figir es, is directed to prove the inne moraLle awl incurable mis c hi e f s of o ut-door relief under ev(ry shape, and tiie absolute proptiety, tint el perseveriug only in the measures already taken to repress that evil, but of pushing the workhouse theory to its find deve lopment, and cernprcliending within its unbending formula all the casts which necessity. convent Tee, or discreet dissimulation have hitherto cause d to he es eeptcbl. Upon the bastardy they are tqually or even more undaunted. The ablest and most accoin pliihed elan among thiir asAistant•commisioneriv, Sir E. Head, has been directed to review the subject of illicit sexual intercourse in all its beatings, and to digest into the most consistent and uncompromising form the con clusions of political economy on this delicate point. His report, which is given in the appendix, complains bitterly of the recent statute. (From the 41Iorning Advertiser.) Without being desirous of prejudging the case of Captain Reynolds (the senior Captain of the 11th Hus sars), which is now pending before a court martial at Brighton, we cannot refrain from making a few obser vations upon the affair of the Earl of Cardiean and Captain John Reynolds, of the same regiment —an af's fair for ever memorable by its association with a " black bottle." In England it is surprising what an importance is attached to matters like this—not from a regard for the true spirit of honour, and n firm devotion to its assertion, but front a bastard epecies of gentility which piques itself upon a critical knowie !ge of " etiquette." or of the conventionalities which an aristocratical steers of society has substituted for realities, and hav*; about the same relation to honour that heraldry bears to chivalry. In the army, above all, the sensation Which this quarrel will produce is incalculable. From India to Canada there is not an cosign in whose lif this incident of " the black bottle of 'Moselle" will not be stamped as a landmark—so much will he hear and so much will he say about it, and so deeply will his feelings be interested, that the tactics of a 'rurenne, the campaigns of a Marlborough, the glories of a Napoleon, and even the victories of a Wellington, will fade into utter neglect and insignificance, compared with the more important affair of the " bottle imp," which he cannot sit down at the mess-table without dreaming of, discuss ing, and re-discussing. Oh, that black bottle—Oh, that bottle imp ! What a thing it is ! What is the war with the Pacha of Egypt compared with it ? What that with China? Nothing—absolutels nothing ; and we shall assuredly not be surprised, if in the approaching Caurt martial, officers will be glad to hold with him in his " customs and his disciplines," and to esteem the affair of the black bottle transgression to be a higher crime than the seduction of a young lady, or the ab straclion of another man's wife. But to be serious. What is the cause of all this hubbub about nothing ? Why, it is to be found in that construction and consti tution of the English, (Fascia from that of ail other countries, which subjects the poor, though talented and scientific officer, to the unlimited control of the rich, and at the same time gives that supremacy to the Lars. for his gold, which is niggardly bestowed upon the former as the reward of many forlorn hopes. An impassable line of demarcation is thus established, not only between the officer and the soldier—but between officers and officers—between men of talent and merit and the mere muckworms, mawworms, butterflies, and other craatures—fruges consuntere nati—than which nothing more devilish in principle, or more impolitic in prac tice, was ever imagined by the mind of men, to destroy the army as an arm of strength, or shear the country of the glory which stout hearts and strong arms would otherwise confer upon it. Well might, the French General Foy—himself the pink of honour —wonder that an army of men, thus constituted, fighting " under the cold shade of aristocracy," should exhibit a single particle of intelligence or patriotism, or even of courage beyond that of the Russian serf, whose only stimulus is the dread of the knout, end whose only consolation is that death will put an end to a life which it is scarcely worth while to preserve. (From the Morning Herald.) The acciden's on railways, that are now of almost weekly occurrence, are attracting a large share of public attention to the advantages and disadvantages which present themselves in connection with the new system of travelling. The dependence of the public en the owners of railroads increases every day. On many of the high roads of the kingdom, it is difficult to procure the means of conveyance from one point to another. The irregularity and increasing carelessness with which railway carriages are managed, arc risible in the disre gard of human life which is manifested in so many gear • ters. Even as to the cheapness of -railway travelling grave doubts begin to be entertained ; because, in con• sidering the question of cheapness, regard must be had, not merely to the direct cost of railway travelling, but also to the loss of accommodation in other fi:rms, which the adoption of railway travelling involves. From the apparent saving to the public, consequent en tlieln zroduction of travelling by railroad, must be deducted the increased expense of travelling from point to point between the various railway lines. The public Las bests compelled, moreover, to su s t e i n yet h eav i er losses in con nection with the railway system. The high-roads of the .leirigilono have been, to a great extent, abandoned. The money had out upon them is in a great degree lest ; and the misery caused by that loss may be appreciated by i tho-e who are aware that the property of widens i . and of orphans was, not unfrequently, vested in loans to the trustees of the public reads. Look, above all, to the fearful derangement in the industrial scheme of the kingdom, to which the desertion of the old lines of communication has given rise. The tens of thousands who lived by ministering to the old modes of travelling have been compelled to abandon the vocations to which they were trained, and the spots in which they resided. The capital embarked in hotels and other es tablishments, for the accommodation of coach passengers, has been nearly annihilated. Hamlets and villag es h ave I been rendered desolate by the progress of locomotion by steam. Now,it is possible, that these sacrifices may have been compensated for by certain advantages connected with the use of railroads ; but, on the other hand, these sacrifices must be recognised as a deduction from the seeming benefits which railway travelling brings with it. If, indeed, the loss of property to which the establish ment of railroads has given rise, be taken fairly into account, travelling by railroads will be found to be the most expensive mode of travelling ever yet devised. Measures must be adopted—and at no distant time—to protect the public against the growing tyranny of Rail , way Directors. These gentlemen must not be per mated to treat human life as a thing of no value—nor must they be permitted to ruin coach proprietors, and all the other bodies of men who so faithfully ministered otof. A pu blic the fa ir ta x convenience, railways would d e a p railways pe arto bweerae hcardwhole some measure. A strict system of superintendence on the part of Government would appear to be ted:s. pensable. THE NEW HISTORICAL ROMANCE. Now ready at all the Libraries, in 3 vols., (i)LiVER CROMWELL.
