Inmost,—Another of tho:te accidents, which have of late been so ft equent, has happened to- - -day oh the Eastern Counties Railway, and is another call for Government to make some alteration for the safety of the public. I started this morning by the ten o'clock train from Shorcditch to Stratford. When we got to the Bow station we did not stop, no passenger being there, but stopped immediately after passing the station to pet down a lady, when two gentlemen came running from the station, but were told they were too late. The train went on, but instantly stopped again, and allowed the two gentlemen, who were not at the station when we passed, to get up, again starting directly after. Ws observed another train coming fast behind us on the same line, and seeing destruction certain, I with a child in my arms, jumped out, and, thank God, escaped unhurt, and in an instant the collision took place, which dashed to pieces two of the Eastern Counties carriages, and severely injured many of the passengers. Now this accident was, like most railway accidents, the result of bad management. The engine which did this mischief was one of the Northern anti Eastern, and certainly those in authority at the Shoreditch station arc highly reprehensible in allowing it so quickly to follow on the same line as the one which bad just started. Y i p such bad management, pregnant with such frightful results!, too much publicity cannot be given, as it is the only means at present available of checking the evil. Last week no less than six deaths were occasioned by railway accidents, and it is well the accident to-day has not added to their number.—t'our's, with deference, W. RICHARDS, 21, Old 'Change. - - ANNOUN'CEMENT OF ADVERTISING FACILITIES Now available to the Public at the ME-FROPOLITAN, PROVINCIAL, and *GENERAL AGENCY INSTITUTION, I N°. 6, W ATERLOO-PLACE PALL-MALL, LONDON, No. 15,037.

MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS. THE PROVISIONAL CONSTITU TION OF NEW ZEALAND. MONDAY EVENING.) TIMES.—In the English Stock Market there has been a considerable scarcity of money to-day, and all the dealers were in want of it. The decline in the French Funds had no perceptible efft;et upon prices here, but the lower quotations of Consols arc attri buted to a large sale of money stock. There was also a considerable sale of Long Annuities made in the course of the day. The scarcity of money was not so much felt in the Foreign House, although this was the settling day. Notwithstanding the neat quantity of business tran sacted through the whole of the account, the settlement was not marked by any particular feature. The decla ration of the payment of the dividend due on Chili stock has given an impulse to business in the securities of the other Transatlantic States, and Colombian and Mexican have advanced. (From the New Zealand Gazette of the 18th of April, 1840, published at Port Nicholson, being the First Newspaper ever published in that Colony.) We, the undersigned, intending to inhabit the New Zealand Land Company's first a►,d principal Settle ment, with the view to provide for the peace and or der thereof, do hereby agree amongst ourselves, and pledge our honour to submit ourselves to the following► regulations, and to enforce them, that is to say : lst.—That all the persons parties to this agreement shall submit themselves to be mustered and drilled under the directions of persons to be appointed as hereinafter mentioned. 2.l.—That in case a person shall commit any of fence against the Law of England, be shall be liable to be punished in the same manner as if the offence had been committed in England. 31.—That in case any dispute shall arise, such dis pute shall be decided in the manner hereinafter men tioned.

By the American papers received to-day, it appears that the French houses at New York, from an appre hension of war, have in most cases refused to draw bills, which has raised the rate of exchange to sf. 10c. The rate on London was Si to 9 per cent., and the de mand for specie far shipment had increased. The de mand on the banks had in consequence reached an ex tent which caused them to call in their loans upon stock, and produced a decline in the stock-market. It is hard to procure money at seven per cent., though before it was obtainable on stock at five per cent. It is said that the hopes of the United States Bank resuming specie payments in January next are dying away, since the Commissioners who went to Boston to negotiate a loan in favour of the Philadelphia banks have been un successful. At Boston they are, it seems, unwilling to lend their money without the guarantee of the solvent banks of Philadelphia. The Legislature of Illinois is to be assembled two or three weeks earlier than usual to consider the means of paying the interest on the stato stock next January, and also to take into consideration the suit against Mr. Delafield, which has been appealed to the Court of Errors.

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 far some unaccountable reason have been either altogether overlooked, or treated with apathy, and almost in difference, by the ordinary practitioner. To enter into the details of these affections, to point out their causes, and to mark the terrific consequences, social, moral, and physical, which are sure to follow from indulgence, in certain habits, would be entirely out of place in an advertisement. We have no hesitation, however, in saying that there is no member of society, by whom the book will not be found interesting, whe ther we consider such person to hold the relation of a PA RENT, a PRECEPTOR, or a CLERGYMAN. The PARENT, who beholds his beloved child pining► away, and fast approaching to a premature grave, in consequence of some disease, which for want of a careful investigation of its real cause, has been set down to the score of consumption, will, on perusing this work be astonished to find that in nine tenths of the cases of young persons of both sexes, who perish of what is called pulmonary consumption, heart disease, tabes, &c., the sole and exclusive origin has been the indulgence in certain destructive habits, practised by youth much more fre quently than is at all suspected. The PRECEPTOR, also, who holds temporarily, at least the relation and responsibility of a parent, will, by perusing this work, be directed, and very much assisted in investigating and detecting the too often concealed practices so often introduced into schools, whereby the health and ultimately the lives of his pupils are sure to be compromised, unless the evil be checked in proper time. He will here find a clue to guide him through the intricate mazes of this moral labyrinth : and a standard whereby to judge, when delicacy of health should appear to attack any of his young charges, what the rear cause of such attack may be, and thus lie 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 mitt lie disastrous consequences which are sure to follow 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 minnte 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 ; t h e communication must be accompanied by the " usual Consulta tion Fee of 11.," without which no notice whatever can he taken of their application ; and in all cases, the most i nv i„i a b ie secrecy may be relied on.

BROWNE and CARTWRIGHT, Surgeon- Dentists, 21, Fleet-street, beg to call public attention to their new and beautiful EVERLASTING TEETH, the most clean and wholesome that can be worn : they are so exactly formed to nature, both in shape and colour, that the closest observer cannot detect the difference, with this advantage—they never change colour, decay, or wear out ; and a complete set, on fine gold, for which they will only charge 15 to 18 guineas, will last for 20 years or upwards, and are far superior to those usually charged 30 and 40 guineas. A single tooth, one guinea ; three ditto, two guineas and a half. Natural teeth supplied from .5/. per set, or 10s. per tooth. Messrs. Browne and Cartwright's method of fitting neither requires the extraction of stumps nor gives the slightest pain ; and having had upwards of 20 years' experience in the profession, can guarantee to restore perfect mastication and articulation, having succeeded in thousands of cases, in hundreds of which other dentists had entirely failed. The above are totally different from the brittle glossy French teeth, usually supplied by dentists as newly-discovered mineral, &c. A visit will convince the most sceptical of the fact. ALLEGED BIBLE MONOPOLY. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SlR,—Having read in an evening print it -- ;peech, stated to have been delivered by the Rev. John Camp bell, at Liverpool, on the 29th of October last, upon what he calls Bible Monopoly, and two letters signed " The Author of Jethro," who, I am informed, is the same person ; also a paper by Dr. Adam Thompson, quoted therein ; and fearing that their misstatements, ilLaltogether unexposed, might deceive some well inten tioned people, I have to request that you will insert the following observations in your widely-circulated paper. The sum and substance of these long papers, divested of their many words, are— lst.—That Dr. Thompson has discovered a "noble plan," a " mighty scheme " for the circulation of the Holy Scriptures. 2d.—That Bibles and Testaments may be procured at a much cheaper rate than from the Universities, and Queen's Printer; but 3d—That the plan can only be carried into effect, and the cheaper books only be procured by means of a subscription ! Now, First—this " mighty scheme" turns out to be nothing more than what has been practised by existing Societies for nearly a century and a half;' the wise di s _ covery being, that if a number of benevolent perions will subscribe together to pay part of the expensi of printing Bibles and Testaments, they can be sold at a price which a tradesman who must pay all the expenses could not afford. lam surprised that Dr. Thompson or Mr. Campbell could imagine that the people of Eng land would listen to a fallacy which their neighbours in Scotland, as I am given to understand, have not failed at once to detect, and consequently to disregard. Secondly—With respect to the cheap Bibles and Testaments, for payment of which the originator of the plan is so anxious to get up a subscription ; the follow ingwt h a b t y t the h ey an d most part Foreign Bih Bible statement saeiety) ( w e i i i r i c s u b l o ate d be procured at a cheaper rate fr '.

His own statements, in fact, prove it to be so. All those who were previously ignorant of the real state of the case, will at once see from the above Table (which shows that Bibles and Testaments have been furnished to the public at prices for which n o other books of equal size could possibly be afforded,) the extreme absurdity of the assertions. They will he cautious how they place any confidence in one who could have been induced to make them. _ P profit, on two books in the course of one year, a SUM greater It must be apparent to everybody that th e l oss in curred by the British and Foreign Bible S oc i ety, in selling Bibles and Testaments bound at less th an cost price, can afford no possible means of judgi ng of the pra t t o s ju o d f g t e heprinter, thereupon) a assumesndyet M a Mr. Ctmbn the(pretend ing printe r ' s than the whole amount received by the two Universi ties and Queen's Printer for the bo o k s i n questio during that period. Any disinterest e d practical mane could have told him that by far the greater part of the amount alluded to (which is less th an h e states to be the profit out of it) is paid by the printer for paper and in wages to an industrious and hard-working class of persons, and that so far from any part of these items being profit, they, of necessity, cre a t e f urther Outlay, leaving little remaining, out of which other expenses can be paid, and any profit realised. T h i s is a speci. inen of the system of deception by which " The Author of Jethro" is endeavouring to raise a " Rent," to make the cost of Bibles and Testaments appear less than it really is. For a refutation of the fallacies which he has art fully selected out of the evidence before the Committees of the House of Commons, I must refer you to the evidence itself. 1 Whatever glosses may have been put upon the sub ject, it has never yet b e en shown to those who would take the trouble to investigate, d that equal efficiency or cheapness could be obtaine . . upon any other system than the present for supplying copies of the Holy Scriptures to the public. Tnirdly—Whether the proposed New Bible Society, under such auspices, and such circu mstances, is likely to promote the cause of Christianity better than the British and Foreign Bible Society, is a question for the consideration of those wlio may feel any inclination to patronize it. I am, Sir, your most obedient servant, ANDREW SI OTTISWOODE. (Signed) ' Her Majesty's Printing Office, Nov. l4, 1840. Prince Massimo, whose departure for R ome we i announced ago, is the head of one o f the noblest ild most families in Europe, d at i ng i ts origin from an a ancient t days the times of the Roman Republic. Through his mother, the late Princess Christina of Saxony, Prince Massimo is related to the royal branch of Saxony; and, through his marriage with the Princess Maria of Savoy_Carignan, who some years ago died at t he e a r ly Age of 2C years, he is allied to the royal house of S a rdinia. Prince M ass i mo . immediately upon his arrival in this country, was intro• duced to her Majesty, at Windsor Castle, by his Royal Highness: Prince Albert, and hasj since pail visits, during his tour through England) at Alton Towers, Bur ton Constable, and several other mansions, whose noble and distinguished possessors have often partaken of the unostentatious hospitality, in the splendid Palazzo dei Mat simi, alle Colonne. POST.—There was nothing of moment to attract attention at the Stock Exchange till towards the close of business. About three o'clock, however, a great scarcity of money was suddenly felt, and as much as 7 per cent. per annum was offered for the loan, from one day to another, of a considerable sum, in connection with the business of the market. This was upon the deposit of reduced stock. Even a higher rate would probably have been established had there been time to enter into further negotiations, though no positive cause was assigned for the difficulty of obtaining ac commodation which had so unexpectedly manifested it self. It may have arisen, it is thought, from an ap prehension that the Bank directors will be compelled to exercise a still greater degree of rigour than they h ave yet evercised, in order the more effectually to arrest the drain upon them for the precious metals. The returns published on Friday last show . that the stock had diminished to a point that should suggest the necessity of i ncrease d caut i on . Th e exchanges with the Continent, though a little upon the advance, are still against this country ; but it is to be recollected that we have advices of new loans being about to be contracted for the use of several foreign States. Holland an d B e l g i um are b oth preparing for the emission of more bonds. Brazil is also looking to the capitalists here for a further supply of money. The same may be . urged of Turkey, Spain, Portugal, America, and even France. It can hardly be said that we have at all exag gera t e d t h e ev i ls of the system of foreign loan jobbing, as it has been carried on for years. With the exchanges in the state of depression in which we now find them, with a stock of bullion somewhat under four millions sterling, and with a very circumscribed 3xport trade, it must be evident to the most superficial observer, that the Bank have difficul ties sufficiently formidable to contend with, indepen dently of the perpetual inundation of Foreign Bonds to which they are exposed. The want of money that ex isted to-day may have been caused in some measure by the approach of the first transfer-day of the week. HERALD.—The Palmerston policy has made rather more rapid progress downwards to-day than before ) which will not be pleasant news for the Globe editorial, which staked his reputation on a" rise" in the Funds. For Consols fell to 89i for money and account, which leaves the Foreign-office at a discount of per cent. upon Satur day's quotations. As the ingenious person in the left Strand, who assumes to fathom the Stock Exchange, and risk the frail fame of his patron on the issue of stock gambling, must from repeated failures in his art have learnt, unless past teaching, to be less presuming in his ignorance and more careful of his hero, now con. fessedly et a discount, it will not be necessary to mark scores against him for the future, unless upon extraor dinary occasion. India Stock improved to 239 to 240. Bank Stock 159 to 160. Exchequer Bills Is. discount to Is. premium. Money was a good deal in demand on the Stock Ex change to-day. Private letters from Paris note that notwithstanding the active exertions and large purchases of some leadinr , capitalists to suppo r t th e mar k e t t h e tendency of the funds was still towards a decline. One leading loan operator displayed considerable anxiety to keep prices up, or cause an advance, with a view to move off the Belgian loan lately taken for 60,000,000 francs, or 2,400,0001., which hung heavy on hand and found little or no favour among speculators or the pub lic. The price at which this loan was taken, or at which offered, for the point is not very clear, was 97} per 100, a high rate assuredly under any, but more espe cially under actual circumstances. SUN.—The Funds closed heavily, being acted upon by the scarcity of money in the Stock Ex change, and the nxiety for further intelligence from the East respecting the expected conflict with Ibrahim Pacha. Consols left off at 89 to k both for the transfer to morrow and the 26th, inst. Exchequer Bills, were 2 prem. to par ; Bank Stock was at 160 ; India Stock rallied to 240 ; and the New Three-and-a-half per Cents. realised 983 to I. The half-monthly settlement in the Foreign Bonds was effected to-day, and this caused the quotations to recede a little, but subsequently, as there was no mate rial difficulty experienced among the jobbers, the market rallied a little. The intelligence from Madrid was not of importance, though considered by some to be a little more favourable. The Active Spanish Bonds ranged from 23,- 7 to 23} ; Portuguese New Five per Cents. brought 36 to 35k; and the Three per Cents. 22f to 23. The Committee of South American Bondholders have had an interview with the Commissioner of Vene zuela, who, pursuant to instructions received from his Government, has determined upon accepting the amended, propositions adopted by the Bondholders at their gene ral meeting some time ago, and this has caused a rise in the Bonds from 25 and 254 to 264 ; Mexican Consoli dated Stock was rather lower, namely, 29:,1- ; Russian Bonds alternated from 112.4- to 113 ; Dutch Two-and• a- Half per Cents. were at 51 to 4 ; and Belgian Three per Cents. at 7]. There was not much business doing in the Railway shares to-day, and the current value of those dealt in was not so high as on Saturday. The Great Western old shares realised 19f to 17f ; the New 7 to 7f ; the t F e i r l n t h 1 4 3 tio to i ; t l he 3i Birmingham 7 8 5 r ; a h and t the nnshares ares South wereWe s- at 13 ; Blackwell at 41 ; Midland Counties at 27 ; and South Eastern at 8f discount. Provincial Bank of Ireland shares were 191 premium. The following is an extract of a letter dated— " Riviere du Loup, Oct. 20th.

BLACK. (From the Scotsman of Saturday.) Yesterday forenoon, a numerous and respectable meeting of the friends of civil and religious liberty, who took an interest in the election of Mr. Elaok, was held in the Merchants' Hall, Hunter-square. Edinburgh. to form a Committee, and make all other necessary ar rangements for a public entertainment to that gentleman. Mr. Duncan M'Laren was called to the chair. It was molted, in the first place, that. the entertainment should take place on Wednesday the 25th inst. S ome discussion then ensued as to the nature of the enter tainment and the price of the ticket ; when it was unanimously agreed that the entertainment should con. sist of fruits and wine, and that the price of the ticket should bot exceed six shillings. A numerous Commit tee was then formed, to engage a hall, appoint a Chair man, and make the other necessary arrangements. After thanks to Mr. INPLaren for his conduct in the chair, the meeting broke up. The Committee, we understand, unanimously re solved to request either Lord Dunfermline or Sir iamels Gibson Craig to take the Chair, and appointed a de putation to wait upon them for that purpose. It was thought dye to Lard Duniertane to apply to him in trui first instance, both from his rank and his long con nexion with the constituency as one of the -city Mem bers, and also because Mr. Black has been chairman of the Aggregate Election Committee when his Lordship—then Mr. Abercrombieand Lord Jef frey were returned, for the first time ander the Reform Act, as the representatives of the ti(p i r. Tho deputation accordingly waited, in the fir s t To stance, on Lord Dunfermline, who expressed his oor dial approbation of the object of the meeting, and said he would in all probability attend it, both to show his personal regard for Mr. Black and his attachment to the cause with which be was identified.; but he expressed a decided opinion that Sir JameooGibson Graig wnigikt to be the chairman, and that he (Lord Dunternilkte) would accompany him, but without any official oirs racter. He concluded by urging on the deputation to apply to Sir James in the first. instance, 'with liberty to state the opinion which he had ex - pressed. In compliance with the wishes o f hi s Lordship, the deputation immediately waited ma Sir James. They were assured that nothing would have given him more pleasure thane to preside at such a meeting if the state of his health bad per mitted ; but that this was not the case, and cotrsei• quently, he was reluctantly obliged to decline the honour. He, however, agreed to act as croupier, I a l on g with Lord Dunfermline as chairman, if the de putation should be able, to prevail on that Nobleman to accept of tiip office, which was ultimately accom plished ; and thus the matter was settled in a way which must give great satisfaction to all the friends of civil end religious liberty. SECOND CONCERT OF MR. WILSON AND THE MISSES SMITH IN GLASGOW. —Mr. Wilson and the Misses Smith again indulged the musical public of Glasgow with a treat, which they rarely enjoy, on Wednesday last, The rooms were crowded, and the audience manifested their admiration of the vocalists by every indication of delight. We have too recently adverted to Mr. Wilson'e powers to allow further remark a °resent.. All we can say is, that both be end his most cifl&ent coadjutor:, the Misses Smith, will command a Glasgow tOnhenee when ever they please. We have heard with pleasute that there is a probability of Mr. Wilson lipid coming among us before he returns to his regular duties; in London. None who have heard him will differ from us is advising all who have not as yet enjoyed his melody tes seize the earliest opportunity of listening to the only living master of Scottish music, combined with Scottish' sentiment. We cannot understand wbv our theatrical manager does not secure the services of Mr. Wilson fora few nights. Certain we are, that he could not present his audience with a greater treat, or one more likely to fill his own pockets, as well as gratify the public.—Glasgoto Herold, Nov. 14. Mr. W. commences an engagement 16th November, in the Theatre Royal Edinburgh. A public dinner is to be given to him at the end of this month by a number of the influential people of Glasgow, and to be limited to 150, to which city Mr. Wilson returns after the termination of his engagement with Murray of Edinburgh.
