Letters passing to and from the East and We s t I n di es , an d other warm Climates, with Wax, is attended with much inconvenience, and frequently with serious njury to the Letters, in consequence of the Melting of the Wax, and Adhesion of the Letters to each other. In the case of a Mail recently received from India, consider able delay was occasioned at this Office, and notwithstanding he greatest care was taken in separating the Letters, which "lug to the cause already mentioned, adhered closely together, null were much damaged and torn; the Public are therefore recommended in all possible cases to use Wafers in preference 50 Wax, in sealing their Letters sent to India or other warm Climates, and also to advise their Correspondents in those Countries to pursue the same course. Postmasters are also enjoined to give every publicity to this caution. SVIIIIT of tho PUBLIC JOURNAL ; FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS bAY. (From the Morning Chronicle.) An attempt has been kindly made to satisfy curiosity as to the triples of Tory declamation durieg the recess.- It is suggested by the Standard, that the " Conserva tive democracy" should agitate for the repeal of the Canada Bill, and of the Irish Municipal Bill before - they come into practical operation. This would in fact be an agitation of the Tory panty out of doors against its own leaders in Parlia ment. We shall be well satisfied to see it in aa• tion. If it succeed, and the subtle and supple chieftain of the faction be coerced into the profession of a vio lent policy, he will be driven thereby many removes further from power than at present. If it fail, the obvious schism in the party will be widened into a formidable breach. The case must be desperate th.- z admits of no better plan thou this, eve❑ upon paper. As to a popular excitement upon the points indicated by our contconporary, where will he fiat' the multitudes who will take th, in to heart ; or to whom any oratori cal appeals can render them object , of intense thought or passionate feeling? The wretched Swiss of the cor ruption " festivals" will doubtless shout about Canada and corporations, as the? did about Popery and her Ma jesty's profligacy, being paid fur the same in beer ; but the 'fury leaders will not be much troubled or. that score. It will never do. 'l'►►e agitation will be as vain as the existence of a " Conservative Democracy" is chi merical." It is an odd fancy of our Contemporary, this Tory Democracy, concerning which he is continually predicating something or other, like one talking in his sleep. 'We cannot conceive how be came by it. Existence in rcrum natura it can have none. To bring a democratic it power or body into political action, there must be a democratical object exhibited. There must be some prospect of good, physical, political or reli gious, for the great masses of the population. There must be something much more tangible, and much mere influential over their condition, than the obstruction of comparatively popular corporations in Ireland ; or than the prevention of the union of the Canada!, or of such arrangement of the clergy reserves us will satisfy the inhab►tants of those provinces. What possible bid can our Contemporary, or his party leaders, make for de mortratic co-operation? What topic of strong interest for a democracy is there, on which they are not effectu ally foreclosed by the very fact of their being Conserva tives, i. e. Tories? __ Citing es of No. 14,962 LONDON, SATURDAY, AUGUST 22, 140. PRICE sd. ROTARY RAILWAY, under Mi. Rangeley's Patent ; the principle shown by Models working in a circle and in a straight line.

London, Aug. 3. JOHN WILSON, Secretary' The business of this Court is increasing, and seems still likely to increase On Monday last, the 17th inst., sixteen new suits were commenced—ten for Church rates from the parish of St. Margaret's, Lynn Regis, three for the same very prolific cause from Fcltwell, in Norfolk, and three for defamation, in which last ladies were joint plaintiffs. On the defendants from Feltwell being called, a per son in Court, whose appearance was that of a respect able small farmer, stated that he appeared for his father. Being informed that such appearance could not be admitted, he replied that his father was an old man, nearly blind, and so infirm that he was unable to walk across a room ; he therefore hoped lie might ap pear in his stead. The Judge, however, intimated, that if the father was unable to appear in person, he must employ a proctor at the next Court. When the Lynn Church-rate recusants were called, Mr. Steward appeared for the Churchwardens, and Mr. Skipper, for the defendants, and the latter gentleman applied to the Court to direct, that as all the suits were exactly similar, one only should be tried, the other nine parties binding themselves to abide the issue thereof. He added, that to proceed in all the cases together could answer no other purpose than a tenfold multipli cation of costs. By command, W. L. MABERLY, Secretary. FROM LAST NIGI - 11"S GAZETTE.

The names of some obscure apothe caries and others are used in this absurd quackery. to deceive the public into a belief that these pernicious glasses possess some very supernatural powers.

To enter into the details of these affections, to point out their causes, and to mark the terrific consequences, social, moral, and physical, which are sure to follow from indulgence, in certain habits, would be entirely out of place in an advertisement. We kayo no hesitation, however, in saying that:there is no member of society, by whom the book will not be found interesting, whe ther we consider such person to hold the relation of a PA RENT, a PRECEPTOR, or a CLERGYMAN. The PARENT, who beholds his beloved child pining away, and fast approaching to a premature grave, in consequence of some disease, which for want of a careful investigation of its real cause, has been set down to the score of consumption, will, on perusing this work be astonished to find that in nine tenths of the cases of young persons of both sexes, who perish of what is called pulmonary consumption, heart disease, tabes, &c., the sole and exclusive origin has been the indulgence in certain destructive habits, practised by youth much more fre quently than is at all suspected. The PRECEPTOR, also, who holds temporarily, at least the relation and i esponsibility 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 she 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 such attack may be, and thus he will be enabled to check the evil in its incipient state. The CLERGYMAN, in whose sacred character, is at once concentrated the twofold relation 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 front them, if not relinquished.

A meeting of the holders of Portuguese Bonds Was held yesterday at the London Tavern, to consider the propriety of reorganizing the Committee to watch over the interests of the bondholders, and to raise subscrip tions for the purpose of indemnifying the public Press from any losses that might be incurred in defending ac tions brought against any of the Journals which have advocated the claims of the foreign creditors of the Government of Portugal. Captain BRITTEN, after having stated th e o bj ects of the meeting, which w , s a preliminary one, moved that the Committee of Portuguese bondholders be as he thought the better course recon structed, and that Mr. Richard Thornton should again be Chairman. t until . nex . t week, when he ex pected from the Finance This resolution was passed, and Mr. THORNTON took the Chair. upon which much would depend The CHAIRMAN said he was no party to the eallinr , adverted to the threatened actions . o wp f eocu t t h led e d h to present overheceee rn inv e et e o t a i meeting I C , o h m e m c i h t a te ir e m a a t n L t against two Morning p a pers by the representative of the Portuguese embassy.

Verdict--" Accidental death." EVIL EXAMPLE. E FFECTS OF —A sensation wa3 occasioned in Hereford on Wednesday by a report that a barrister on the circuit, the assizes not being then over, had been taken into custod y on th e charge of de stroying and removing a bell-pull early that morning, and was then confined at the station-house. Th© rumour turned out to be perfectly correct, and at eleven o ' c l oc k the prisoner, George Henry ones, E sq ., was placed in before the dock in the Guildhall, the Mayor. He was fined Ids. Mr. Jones asserted his innocence, and stating that he was perfectly sober at the time, immediately paid the fine and quitted the bar, observing, .. This is paying very dear for a bell-pull." Mr. Steward said he believed his clients could not be prevented from going on with all the suits at once, if they chose to do so ; but, apart from this question, he would put it to the Court, whether on principle it were rigbt to adopt the proposed plan in cases of Church rates, inasmuch as it would tend to encourage;many persons to refuse payment who would not venture to do so, if they believed a suit would be carried on against there. The Judge, however, urged on Mr. Steward to con sult with his clients on this point before the next Court, and the question then arose whether, if the suggestion were adopted, the defendants should pay the costs of only one libel, or of ten, which Mr Steward was ready to put in. Mr. Skipper contended that until very recently it had been the uniform practice in this Court not to put in the libel until the second Court, and his clients ought not to be charged with costs, which had been prema turely incurred. Mr. Steward replied that a plaintiff was always en titled to put in his libel at the first Court, although it had not bean the general practice to do so ; and the Judge, concurring in this view, directed the libels to be put in. In the case of St. Andrew's, Norwich, Church -rates, Mr. Barker, the defendant, put in two papers, which ad vanced it a stage. In the Bungay, St. Mary, Church-rates, the Church wardens had put in exceptions to the defendant's alle gation, which should have been this day heard and decided on. But as the proctor for the Churchwardens was absent, and the time of the Court was already ex hausted, the defendant, Mr. Charles Childs, made seve ral formal amendments in his allegation, the Judge dis allowed one of the plaintiff's exceptions, and the re mainder were appointed to be argued next Court day, September 28th.

The population as enu merated in 1831 was 1,494,890. The weekly average for 1838 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 population had been the same in 1838 as in 1840, the deaths would have been 1-27th part more numerlus. General Register-office, August 20, 1840. The Right Hon. the Lord Chancellor, Lady Cottenham and family, arrived at the Adelphi Hotel on Wednesday evening, from London. They will embark this morning, at ten o'clock, on board the Queen of the Isle steamer, for Douglas, on a visit to the Lord Bishop of Sodor and Man.—Liverpool Mercury. (From the Times.) There cannot be a stronger proof of the wholesome deference to the main principle on which the executive Government of this country rests, than the manner in which the intelligence of Lord Palmerston's arrangw tnent for settling the affairs of the East was received by all parties. Unconvinced by innumerable proofs of the slovenly and ruinous Administration of the Queen's ad visers, unwarned by the unparalleled examples of re missness and dissimulation by which Lord Palmer ston's department has earned for itself a peculiar no toriety, the people of England still seemed inclined to give the Government credit for some of that energy, wisdom, and patriotism which is most especially re quired in the management of our relations with foreign states. Accordingly, on waking one morning in the latter part of last month, we all found ourselves exposed to the most acrimonious imputations of hostility to France,and to still more odious and incomprehensible imputations of subserviency to the policy of Russia. The nation has scarcely yet recovered from its surprise ; and, in order to reduce the startsing effect of this intelligence, Lord Palmerston gets up in the House of Commons to renew the assurances of his amicable intentions and open straightforward conduct to France—assurances which did very well until the arrival of the next mail from Paris confuted and contradicted them. It is not then true that these measures, and all the modes of operation they involve, have. been ratified by the British people. It is not true, as some of the French Journals have rashly asserted, that in ceasing to move in entire union with France, this country has consented to move or to be moved in union with Russia. The only policy which can claim the support of the people of England is an English policy. We may have a point of difference with France, but the real question is, what point of agreement have we with Russia? Al ready we may repudiate the notion, that because we have joined Russia to maintain that principle of the integrity of the Turkish empire, in which we at least are sincere, we have therefore pledged ourselves to adopt or to assent to the means Russia may offer for that purpose, and for her own purposes at the same time. Those means, on the contrary, require a triple scrutiny : there is poison in the very handles of such weapon.—there is the blood of Poland on the blade. (From the Morning Advertiser.) We are not now at issue with France on a question of principles, as in 1793, when thirty millions of people on one side of the channel thought that they were in the right, and twenty millions on the other side thought that they were in the wrong. Our present difference is one regarding facts. Those facts are before the world as arbiter, and the world will judge from them upon whom win fall the guilt of disturbing its peace, should France persist in its present warlike.. course ; for it is not permitted to Lotions more than to individuals to emancipate themselves with impunity from the moral law which all are equally bound to respect and . obey. Aware of the bias of the national feeling on the sub ject of Egypt, the French Government have evinced tole utmost anxiety to vindicate their policy in the eyes of the public with a mistaken, but perhaps earnest, con viction that the cogency of their arguments might staid influence parties who profess to have the same (sad in common. M. Mignet, the republican historian of the French revolution, wrote, at the dictation of his friend, M. Thiers, the French version of the negotiations of the London Conference, which we printed yesteaday, containing a reply to the arguments and facts stated by Lord Palmerston in his speech in Parliament at the close of the Session. The very first paragraph of this official document is sufficent to prove that there could have been no cordial co-operation between Englaad and France throughout the whole negotiation, since it appears that the latter was resolved at all baz.ads to support the indefensible right of the usurper Mehemet Ali to be treated as an independent and legitimate Sovereign of the countries he had conquered from his master. Why, let us ask, should England concede this assumption ? Upon what grounds does the French Cabinet term it an act of barbarian injustice " to take away half his possessionsfrom the Viceroy as the price or the victory of Nezib ?" We know of none. On the contrary, we are disposed to assume that the European powers would have been perfectly justified, had the balance of power and the peace of the world exacted it, in aiding the Sultan to recover his undoubted do minions, and in reducing the Governor of Egypt to his original insignificance by every means in their power. They had the right, and they bad the might. (From the Morning Herald.) A man has lately been convicted of a capital offence, and received judgment to die according to law, whose case presents features of touching, we may say terrible interest, such as, while one shudders at the crime, can not but awaken in every heart which has a spark of hu manity the deepest compassion for the criminal. The crime is in itself most horrid and unnatural—the deli berate destruction of offspring by a father's hand —among murders a crime most murderous. But when the circumstances under which it was com mitted, and the motive which actuated a father in de stroying the life of the child whom he dearly loved, are taken into the account, the character of the act is changed. We look no longer on the condemned cri minal as the cold-blooded malignant murderer of his offspring, whom the lbws of God and man bound him to cherish and protect. We see in him a sufferer who has undergone the pangg of punishment -more terrible than any which the law can inflict—a being who is more of a victim than a culprit—a victim to a state of society in which, amid overflowing opulence and plenty, man perishes of want, from whose maddening agonies no merit can save—no industry can secure him. The case to which we allude, and which affords a melancholy illustration of the cruelty and impolicy of the existing state of the law in relation to the desti tute poor, is that of Edward Garrett, tried and con victed before Mr. J us ti ce C o l er id ge, at t h e W e ll s Ass zcs, for the murder of his son Edwin, a child of tender years. To explain the merits of the case we which laeessbi brought n i d i l e elutrr rdaepo whichrte r will quote the p a th et i c account prefixed to the evi the s d nrit e ciel n eei theof t f l e le tal tr e ia e l t , w o a f s tl e i e e m c n ir li c t u te m d: e f r o e td r i ef fa a tl h ie e r ie t v o the edeh b il a d r , criminal e o e l dhas dee jus tice him to the scaffold, unless the merciful prerogative of the Crown interpose between him and death. The following is the short and expressive outline of this tale of suffering, despair, and crime : " The talc, as stated by the witnesses, was one of woe and misery ; the man was peaceable, honest, industrious, but bent to the very earth by want and indigence. He was a shoemaker, and had a wife and three young chil di en, all of whom he tenderly loved. He saw his children go crying to bed, because he had no food to give them ; and this taking place night after night, drove him to dis traction ; it tore from him his better feelings, or rather, we should say, plunged him into such a gulf of misery i and i n th despair as to rob him of his s enses ; and, , • m oment of oppression and perplex it y. too- ranch for r human n weakness his reach—a bottle of lauda num— p oured part of it down the throats of his darling infants, and then sw a llo w ed the means of destruction to that bear happened ep against, o be within he seized the remainder himself, not having the forti , ude to die him.. self alone without taking with him the wretched beings who owed their birth to him. He was a kind and most affec tionate father. The world had gone wrong with him. lie had written to his friends to assist him ; his application =et with a cold refusal ; he was pressed by his creditors, whom he could not pay ; be was goaded to madness by the starv ing cries of his children, whose mouths he could not MI; he had only one resource before him—a poor law union—. to place himself, his wife and children in that prison —to live, not together, but, as if estranged from each other, asps tate and apart,—to this death seemed far preferable ;'de spair took firm possession of his mind, and brought him to that bar where be now stood charged with being the mar dervr of his own offspring. The whole scene was distress. ir6sbeyond what any descripti on can convey ." Let those who hare hearts to feel and tears to shed fictitious woe in legends of sentimental romance, turn NEW ZEALAND.
