SIMPSON has received instruc tions from the Commissioners of the Nene Onifall to S LL by AUCTION, at the Rose and Crown Inn, Wis bech, on SATURDAY, August '29, at Three in the Afternoon, in Six Lots, Peculiarly desirable FREEHOLD ESTATES, 852 acres in extent, consisting principally of a deep alluvial easy tillaged soil, exceedingly productive, and adapted to the cultivation of white straw and green crops in all their varieties. About '2lO acres are situate in the parishes of Tyd St. Giles and Tyd St. Mary, and the remainder, which is recently enclosed marsh land, is situate in Wingland, between the counties of Norfolk and Lincoln, and bounded by the Sutton-bridge-road, over which the Norwich and Birmingham mail and other coaches pass daily. These newly enclosed and powerful lands are ex tra-parochial, and free from rates and tithes. The tenants are most respectable and industrious, and possess ample means, the judicious application of which has induced that high state of cultivation which prevails on the property. The present ren tal, which amounts to 1,1841. is decidedly low. The leases will expire at Michaelmas, 1841. The estate is situate at the mouth of the Nene, which, from recent improvements, has become one of the finest navigable rivers in the kingdom ; thus, besides the advantage of excellent roads and superior home markets, there is an inexpensive and easy transit by water for produce and manure. The property may be viewed, and particulars with plans an nexed may be obtained of Edward Jackson Esq., solicitor, Wisbech ; of Messrs. Wing and Twining, solicitors, Gray's inn; of Messrs. Walford and Sons, solicitors, Bolton-street, Piccadilly ; at the place of sale ; and of Mr. W. W. Simpson, 18, Bucklersbury. PER SHARE.

A" brilliant future" indeed the poor young man saw, and the perfidious shade of the Emperor was " driving him on" when he got into the quarrel with the Captain, and shot the poor soldier in the neck—the shade of Napoleon was driving him on, too, when he upset the boat in his exertions to escape from the fine future so ecently before him ! This shade of the Emperor is obviously either a very treacherous shade, or e marvel lously ill-informed one. The following is prodigiously fine : The Concert, will commence at Two o'Clock, precisely.

One-tenth of the entire profits of this Institution will be ap plied to the relief of Distressed and Aged Clergymen, and the Widows and Orphans of Clergymen, who may be recommended by the Bishops, or by the Clergy of their respective localities. Inhabitant; of Boulogne, gather round me, and place confidence in the provide!;tial mission delegated to me by the martyr of St. Helena. From the pinnacle of the column of the grand army the genius of the Em peror watches over us, and applauds our efforts, be cause they have only object—the happiness of France." This is a little imitation of Bonaparte's address to his army in Egypt, in which the pyramids figure in place of the Boulogne pillar ; and between the geniuses and positions of the original Napoleon and the would-be Napoleon, there is about as much difference as between the Boulogne pillar and the pyramids of Egypt. The ridicule of this attempt must destroy whatever chance Louis Napoleon might otherwise have had in the course of the chapter of accidents. Had he held himself in reserve, it is possible, though not probable, that events might have turned the thoughts of the peo ple of France to the nephew of Napoleon. Small as any chance of this kind may have been, it has been de stroyed by the ridicule which must attach to this abor tive enterprise, in which the bearing of the Pretender appears as faulty as the discretion. The act of firing a pistol at an officer in the performance of his duty, was as wanting in dignity and true gallantry as all the rest of the affair was in foresight and arrangement. The speech reported to have been made by the Cap tain Puigallier, in answer to Louts Napoleon's preten sions and persuasions. conveys all that is to be said on the matter in the smallest compass:— " Be you Prince Louis or not, I know nothing of you. Napoleon, your predecessor, put an end to legi timacy, and you have no right to pretend to restore it."

The Company's contracts with her Majesty's Government embrace the conveyance of the India mails between England and Alexandria, also the mails and despatches between Malta and the lonian Islandsand between England and the Peninsula, for which services the Government have contracted to pay 66,8001. per annum.

ORIENTAL GREAT LIVERPOOL... 1,540 TAGUS BRAGANZA ROYAL TAR 68l IBERIA MONTROSE 602 LIVERPOOL ... 500 The Company is formed under circumstances peculiarly fa vourable for ensuring a profitable return to the proprietary. Ist. It is alreadypossessed of property in steam shipping in profitable employment to a large amount. 2d. The management is under the direction of parties who have a competent knowledge of all the details connected with steam navigation, derived from sixteen years' practical expe rience. 3d. An important branch of the Company's business arises from an already established intercourse with the Peninsula. 4th. It is in possession of two advantageous mail contracts with Government. The Company being already provided with the establishment necessary for carrying on its present operations and existing mail contracts, the additional vessels required for extending the communication to Jndia will be contracted for as soon as the Royal charter of incorporation, which has been applied for, shall have passed the Great Seal. The Directors only intend to issue at present a limited num ber of shares at par, any further issue being reserved until after the payment of a dividend, when, from the circumstances and prospects of the concern, no doubt is entertained that the shares will command a high premium. The conditions required by the Lords of the Privy Council in respect of the bona fide property and paid-up capital of the Company having been compli ed with to their Lordships'satis faction, the Directors fully rely on their application for a Royal charter being agreed to, but it is not deemed expedient at pre sent to issue a prospectus.

THERE is perhaps no situation in life so full of 'embarrassment as when the over-sensitive feel them selves compelled to reveal their moral indiscretions, or their physical imperfections, to others. Day after day does the horror of exposure accumulate in the morbid imagination, whiie in creasing disease augments the suffering of the body and the irritability of the mind. Sensible of the anguish thus pro tracted, we have adopted a system which long practical expe rience has proved to be highly successful, and which precludes the absolute necessity of personal communication with those who recoil from such mode of consultation. A full and minute description of the case, written in plain language, will enable u. to treat the patient with delicate secrecy ; and such has been the peculiar nature of our practice , embrac ir g ever y variety of difficult circumstances, that the most timid may feel encourage ment in the opportunity thus afforded them. Twenty-five years of practice, exclusively devoted to diseases arising from indiscretion, gaiety, or climate, whereby the con stitution may have become enfeebled, enable us to promise a restoration to health, without any interference with the ordinary diet and habits. Alessrs. GOSS and Co. are to be consulted, as usual, every day, at their residence; and Patients in the remotest parts of the country, can be treated successfully on their describing minutely the case, and enclosing a remittance for Advice and Medicine. No difficulty can occur, as the Medicines will be securely packed, and carefully protected from observation. G OSS and Co. (M. R.

It sweetens the blood, corrects a bad habit of body, removes pimples and blotches, and is an infallible remedy for Scrofula, Scurvy, Erysipelas, Secondary Symptoms, anal all those disorders originating in impurities of the blood, whether hereditary or otherwise, and particularly those arising from the long.continued use of mercury. This Preparation, which is the result of many yell's' laborious research and experiment, is thus noticed by Dr. HANCOCK, m his Philosophical Papers, read before the " Medico-Botanical So. ciety :" " It is a fact yet unheeded or unknown in Europe, that this species of Sarsa, the Itio Negro, does manifest a peculiar power in healing ulcers all parts of the body, and removing a multitude of ehronical affections. It is scarcely less remarkable fur its power in improving the condition and habit of body, and the , efore it is not without reason esteemed a great restorativ e ; bu t the narrow views of the Faculty have tended to restrict its use to syphilitic aftbctions, and there appears to be no comprehension of its general utility in alter , ing the condition of the blood and amending the habit of body, as it does most manifestly in scrofolous,consumptive,and dropsical habits, and caehexies—foul or perverted states of the humours, Sold Wholesale and Retail in 13ottles at is. and 21s. each, by WIL LIAM BATEMAN, at the Warehouse, No. 85, Hatton Garden, London ; and by Medicine Venders in the principal Towns Eng. land.

We have no hesitation, however, in s aying thatthere is no member of society, by whom the book will not be found interesting, whe ther we consider such person to hold the re l at i on of a PA RENT, a PRECEPTOR , or a CLERGYMAN. The PARENT, who beholds his beloved child pining a way , and fast approaching to a premature grave, in consequence of some disease, which for want of a ca reful investigatio n o f i ts real cause, has been set downto th e score of co nsumpt i on, will, on perusing this wo rk be astonis he d ofb to find that in nine tenths of the cases of young persons t. both sexes, who perish of what is called pulmonary eorisum ba p s ir, heart disease, tabes, &c., the sole and exclusive o rigin d . b been the indulgence in certain destructive habits, practise y youth much more fre quently than is at all suspected. The PRECEPTOR, also, who holds temporarily, at l east the relation and responsibility of a parent, will, by perusing this work, be directed, and very much assisted in investigating and racticts detecting the too often concealed p so often introduced into schools, whereby the health and tilt in ately the lives of his pupils are sure to be compromised, unless the evil be checked 'proper time. He will here find a clu e . to guide him thr ough in 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 ch ar g es, wh at the real, eause of su c h attack may be, and thus he will be enab led to check the evil in its incipient state. The CLERGYMAN, in whose sacred character, is at once concentrated the twofold relation cf 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 thorn, if not relinquished.

The population as enu merated iu 1831 was 1,494,890. The weekly average for 1836 was obtained by dividing the deaths registered in that year by 52. In comparing it with the weekly deaths in 1840, it must be borne in mind that the metropolis in creases nearly two per cent. annually ; and that, if the popul A , ion had been the same in 1838 as in 1840, the deaths would have been 1-27th part more numerous.

LOUIS NAPOLEON'S .kTTEMPT. (From the Examiner.) The jackdaw, having seen an eagle carry off a lamb, was seized with the ambition of imitating so brilliant an exploit. He accordingly made a fierce pounce upon a sheep, but found himself neither able to fly away with the prize, nor to fly away from it, his poor weak claws being entangled in the wool. In this helpless posture be was made prisoner by the shepherd, who, in shut ting him up in a cage for the sport of his children, made a reflection, which. /Bsop records, on mistaken ambition, and the difference between the capacities of % jackdaws and eag`es. The poor Prince Louis Napoleon has committed this error in mimicking Bonaparte's triumphal entry into France from Elba Conceiting himself the eagle, he made his descent with a fell swoop ; but, instead of carrying off an empire, he has only stuck in the wool. This is not even the " vaulting ambition which o'erleaps itself ;" it is the ambition which sticks itself fast. The Prince had amongst the furniture of his expedition a live eagle ; it should have been a jackdaw, in symbol of the enterprise; but perhaps his Highness dispensed with the type, as he played the part himself, The jackdaw would, however, have been an excel lent representative in more the one respect. The jackdaw has everlastingly his own name in his mouth ; all his talk is of Jack, Jack, Jack ; it is most literally a perpetual jactitation. How like is this to the young Napoleon, with his incessent Nap, Nap, Nap,—the alpha and omega of his claims, the sum and substance of his pretensions. This young man is not without genius —his genius for farce is great. He has given a Bombastes Furies° burlesque to the page of history. Imagine the aspi rant for an empire put down by a Mayor ! Monsieur Adam routing Napoleon—the invading army in its attempt to escape, upsetting the boat—an army which had been self-destined to upset the throne of Louis Philippe ! The Prince, in one of his proclamations (procla mations, we must say, equalled in grandeur by those of the Mayor and Prefect), says, with a fine mixture of the familiar and sublime— " When one has the honour to he at the bead of a people like the French people, there is an infallible means of doing great things—it is to will them." But how is " one to have the honour to be at the head of a people like the French people " if there is to be a Mayor is the way, who mounts on horseback, and calls out the constables ? Haw is " one to have the honour to be at the head of a people like the French people" if there is to be a Captain to tell a handful of soldiers not to be humbugged P Further, how is " one to have the honour to be at teke head of a people like the French people " if a boat upsets when one is doing one's best to make one's escape from Mayors and police officers ? Prince Louis Napoleon' , time for " willing great things" will never come if these little things are to be in the way of it. The Prince continues : " Frenchmen, I sac before me a brilliant future for MAN ELIOT, ESQ. A. painful sensation was excited in this neighbour hood on Wednesday, by a rumour that Freeman Willis Eliot, Esq., of Eling, had been burnt to death in his bed on the previous night. On inquiry the rumour proved to be too true. It would seem, from the evidence given at the in quest, that the unfortunate gentleman had fallen asleep whilst reading is i bed, and that the drapery having caught fire, the smoke produced a stupor, which de prived him of the power of calling for assistance. Mr. Eliot had been an officer of the army, and had served in India. He was a gentleman of great liberality, and a sound Reformer, and was highly respected in the neigh bourhood. At the time of her Majesty's coronation, Mr. Eliot commenced the subscription for the children's dinner by a contribution of 51., and he was a subscriber to an equal amount to both the Reform and the Regis tration Associations. He was uncle to the present Earl of Errol. The inquest was held before Mr. Todd, one of the county coroners, at the Anchor Inn, Ding, on Thurs day morninz...The following evidence was adduced : James Parkinson deposed that he was a footman in the service nt the deceased, who was a gentleman of in dependent property, and between sixty and seventy years of age. He was very healthy. Witness saw him last before the accident, about lialtpast eight on Tuesday evening, in his bed-room. He was sitting in a chair at the foot of the bed, in his dressing-gown. A candle and a rushlight were burning in the room. The rushlight was placed in a shade near the fender, and the candle was on a table at the foot of the bed. There was a tray with tea-things, and also a news paper on the table. Deceased was in the habit of sleeping alone. He was quite well that day, and was quite free from the effects of wine. Deceased always bolted his door. About two hours afterwards witness, who had retired to bed, was awoke by a noise as if' something heavy had fallen. The noise came from the direction of deceased's room. Without dressing himself he immediately went towards the bed-room of his master and heard a servant girl say Mr. Eliot's bed-room was on fire. The door was fastened, but witness burst it open, when he saw the bed on fire, and his master lying on his back at the foot of the bed, and his clothes burning. Deceased never spoke at all. Witness lifted him up to get him out, but he gave a plunge which caused the door to shut. He after wards succeeded in getting deceased out of the room, and a fellow servant took the deceased in his arms and carried him down stairs. Witness, by throwing water on the flames, stopped the further progress of the fire. The furniture of the bed and the pillows were burnt. The chair and table were partly burnt. A pistol went off whilst he was getting deceased out of the room. It was on the drawers, between the bed and the window. Deceased always kept loaded fire-arms in his room. The candlestick was beside the bed on the floor. It was overturned, and the candle was all consumed. He did not see the newspaper ; it was most likely burnt. Deceased always used spectacles to read, and he used to read every night either at the table or in bed. There was a bell-pull at the head of the bed, within his reach. Witness could not tell, from the appearance of the bed, whether deceased had been in it or not. His dressing- t own was on the chair he had been sitting in. Never knew his master ring the bell to call him up, after he had gone to bed for the night. The window was shut quite close and fastened. Atter the fire was all out, witness went down to the hall, and saw deceased lying on a bed, in the care of Mr. Good win, the surgeon. He afterwards helped to remove him to the dining-room, where he died between eleven and twelve. Henry Newman deposed that he was a footman in the service of the deceased. He saw his master last before the accident, when he got up from table after the dessert, on Tuesday. He then appeared in his usual health and spirits, and not at all affected by any thing he had taken ; he was quite sober. Witness went to bed about a quarter past eight. He slept under his master's room in the hall. Had been to sleep, and was awoke by hearing a fall. He lay lis tening a short time, and heard a maid servant come down stairs and give an alarm that she was sure her master's room was on fire. He ran up stairs, when his fellow-servant told him he had better alarm the gardener who lived in the lodge. He did so, and ran hack immediately, and went up to his master's room. He took deceased in his arms, and carried him down stairs. The other footmen had just got him out of the room. His clothes were all burnt off, except just round his arms. Witness laid him along in the hall ; he breathed, but never spoke ; he was not sensible. He left deceased in care of Mrs. Eliot, his wife, whilst he went up with water, to help to extinguish the fire. It was as long as five or ten minutes before they could stop the flames. The principal fire was round the bed. He then went down, and attended to his mis• tress. The gardener was holding deceased. They did nothing else but bathe him with vinegar till the doctor came, which was shortly afterwards. (The Coroner remarked that both the witness and his fellow-servant had acted in a most praiseworthy manner, and appeared to have done their duty as well as any men could have done.) Mr. Charles Goodwin, surgeon, deposed that he was in the habit of attending deceased. He was between sixty and seventy. He was subject to occasional at tacks of asthma, but not to a violent degree, and suffered when attacked, from the usual symptom of a slight giddiness in the head. Wit ness bad scen him in the afternoon of Tuesday, when he svas in good health and in his usual spirits. Sa w nothing more of him till he was called in to a ttend him at half-past ten at night. Witness attended immediately and found him in the servant's hall, lying on a bed. He was in a dying state. He was sever el y burnt in different parts, particularly on the hands, throat, and left part of the body. Witness gave him a little brandy and water, but he had no power to s wallow it. He showed no degree of sensibility. Witness had him re voved to the dining room, and remained w ith him till he died, which was at twenty minutes past eleven. Death was occasioned by r t t h a e l in from ri e h r e ec fi t r .i s v t e . d I„ fr l o ri m tm etslsi hadb r k n t u t s l , o w w n li d c h e ce w a seer dmo to he in the ha bit of frequently reading in bed. This closed the evidence, and the Jury returned a verdict of " Accidental death by burning." It is rather remarkable that the eldest brother of the deceasedin i t zlt d : ce f a z years house hhas note met a violent death, in such a dreadful manner. vendent.

We have no wish to disparage the services of Mr. Poulett Thomson, who has been both judicious and suc cessful hitherto in his management of Canadian affatrs ; but we could not read, upon the same day, the tidings of his elevation to the Peerage, by the title of Baron Sydenham, of Sydenham and of Toronto, and the ac count of the melancholy ceremony which consigned the remains of Lord Durham to the grave—without com paring the face, and the merits, of these two men, upon whose destinies Canada has exercised so opposite an in fluence in life. There can be just as little doubt that Lord Durham's days were shortened by the anguish and mortification which his high spirit endured when thwarted in Canada at the very moment that his measures were about to be crowned with success, as there is that it is to Lord Durham that his successor is indebted for the peaceful triumph which he has achieved. Nor ought it, iu jus tice to a great man no longer amongst us, to be un. known that in all his first acts—in the choice of his measures, and the selection of his friends—Mr. Thom son was guided by Lord Durham's advice. He know nothing of Canada, but he had the wisdom, when ha accepted his present appointment there, to throw him. self upon Lord Durham without reserve ; and thought there were circumstances that a►ight have justified sone coldness some resentment even upon Lord Dur. ham's part, they were all cast aside and forgotten in an ardent desire to promote the public good. Every species of information was given to the new Governor-General with a generous alacrity incompre hensible to a little mind ; and, up to the moment of his departure from England, Mr. Poulatt Thomson may be said to have commanded Lord Durham's time. We sly this to the honour of both, not in disparage ment of the one—for no man rejoiced more sincerely than Lord Durham at the realization by his successor of his own designs. It was such traits as these in Lord Durham, that stamped him, in our judgment, as a great man. Hs may hate had his faults, but they were the faults of a generous, and ardent mind. The universal sympathy evinced at his funeral throughout his native county, proves that he was best loved where best known ; for where there is no longer any tiling to hope, or to fear, few come to swell a pageant, who do not honour, and mourn for the man.
