The Work which is now presented to the public is the result of very extended experience in a class of diseases and affec twes, which for some unaccountable reason have been either altogether overlooked, or treated with apathy, and almost in difference, by the r dinary 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 net be found interesting, whe ther we consider such person to hold the relation et 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, Las 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 oonsumptien, heart disease, tabes, &c., the sole and exclusive origin has Leen the indulgence in certain destructive habits, practised by youth much mere 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 aro sure to he 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 ho 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 ; ho will also he enabled to point out the disastrous consequences which are sure to follow frora them, if not relinquished. Messrs. CURTIS and CO. are to be consulted daily at their residence, Nu. 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 ; the communication must he accompanied by the " usual Consulta tion Fee of I/.," without which no notice whatever can be taken of their application ; and in all eases, the most inviolable secrecy may be relied on.

" My Lord, —Having in my letter to your Lordship of yesterday stated to your Lordship, that a report had reached me that your Lordship had spoken of me in such manner as I deemed prejudicial to me, considering the position in which kp.s placed4,:and.lat:ving in the most respectful manner requested your Lordship to al low me to contradict such report, and your Lordship having this morning positively refused to give me any answer, I must beg to tell your Lordship, that you are in nowise justified in speaking of me at all at a public party given by your Lordship, and more particu larly in such manner as to make it appear that my conduct has been such as to exclude me from your Lordship's house. Such assertion is calculated to in jure me. Your Lordship's reputation as a professed duellist, founded on the having sent Major Jenkins to offer satisfaction to Mr. Brent, the miller of Canterbury, and your having also sent Capt. Forrest to London to call out an attorney's clerk, does not admit of your privately offering insult to me, and then securing yourself under the cloak of Commanding Officer ; and I must be al lowed to tell your Lordship, that it would far better be come you to select a man whose hands are untied for the object of your Lordship's vindictive reproaches, or to act as many a more gallant fellow than yourself has done, and waive that rank which your wealth and E arl dom alone entitle you to hold. " I am, my Lord, " Your Lordship's obedient servant, " RICHARD ANTHONY REYNOLDS. " The Right Honourable the Earl of Cardigan, " 45, Brunswick-square, Brighton. " Such Conduct as aforesaid, being in the said Cap tain Richard Anthony Reynolds, unbecoming an Officer and a Gentleman, prejudicial to the interests of the Service, subversive of Good Order and Military Dis- cipline. " Upon which Charge the Court came to the follow ing Decision : " The Court, having duly weighed, and most ma turely considered, the whole of the Evidence adduced on the part of the Prosecution, together with that ad ♦anced by the Accused in support of his Defence, is of opinion that he, Captain Richard Anthony Reynolds, of the 11th (Prince Albert's own) Hussars, is Guilty of the Charge exhibited against him, which being in breach of The Articles of War,' The Court does in virtue thereof Sentence him, the said Captain Richard Anthony Reynolds, of the 11th (Prince Albert's own) Hussars, to be Cashiered. _ " The Court having performed its duty, cannot sepa rate without recording its opinion on the following points of Evidence :- 44 In the course of the Evidence to Character, wit. nesses have stated, that, they considered the accused was incapable of insubordination without some extraordinary causes of provocation ; or unless under provocation which no man of honourable feelings could endure : thus apparently sanctioning the idea, that there might be circumstances of private irritation which would jus tify a Soldier breaking from the established order of Military Discipline,--a doctrine so totally subversive of the fundamental principles by which all Armies are go verned, that the Court feels called upon to stamp it with marked Reprobation." Her Majesty has been pleased to approve and con firm the Finding and Sentence of the Court. The General Commanding in Chief directs, that the foregoing Charge preferred iirem)f Cap - iiitri . 'Richard Anthony Reynolds, of the I lth (4ince Albert's own) Hussars, together with the Finding_and,Senteno n Cotirt, and her Majesty's Confirmation thereof, be entered in the General Order Book. and read at• the head of every Regiment in her Majesty's Servide. By Command of the Right Honourable General Lord HILL, Commanding in Chief. JOHN MACDONALD, Adjutant-General. PRINCE LOUIS NAPOLEON AND M. BERRYER. The following letter has been addressed by Prince Louis Napoleon to his counsel, M. Berryer, the Legi timist Deputy : " Paris, Oct. 5, 1840. My dear Berryer,—l will not quit my prison in Paris without again repeating to you all my thanks for the noble services which you have that I was to be brought b e f ore t h e C ourt o f P eers r i end ee e e r e e e d iv m e, e i thernigdeamy trial. As soon as I knew of asking you to defend me, because I knew that the independence of your character placed you above the little susceptibilities of party, and that your heart was always open to assist the unfortu nate, as your talent is apt to comprehend every great thought and every noble sentiment. I therefore selected you from esteem, and now I leave you with friendship and gratitude. " I know not what fate may reserve for me ; I know not whether I shall ever be able to prove to you my gratitude ; I know not whether you would even then ac cept proofs of it ; but whatever may be onr reciprocal position by the state of politics and their desolating ob ligations, we can alway s enterta i n f or eac h other esteem and friendship ; and I must avow to you that if my trial could produce no other result than to have excited your friendship for me, I should still think I have gained im mensely, and I should not com pl a in of my destiny. " Adieu, my dear Bcrryer ; accept the assurance of my sentiment of esteem and gratitude. (Signed) " NAPOLEON LOUIS." THE STEAM REVOLUTION IN BRITISH AMERICA. mi ----- Our readers must not suppose that under the above head, we intend to tire their patienc e with a p ros y disser. tation on the steam-engine, or a stale description of th e paddle interesting wile e e n ls o o ug f ha to C u th o e ard cu s r t i e o a u n s iter. Theseght be mathematician, or the practical machinist ' • but the majority dour read ers l ook rather to the effect than the cause ; they would be better pleased with the few paragraphs of information we ca n give them, on the mighty r evolution which the practical application of steam has accomplished, in the intercourse of nations, and the comfort, intelligence, and happiness of man. Let us " begin at home," and see what advantages the inhabitants of Halifax have gained. A few weeks since, we took a trip to Boston, to procure the requisite materials for publishing the Morning p est. To ac complish the journey i n the most expediti ous manner, we took stage to Windsor, cro sse d to St. J o h n i n the steamer Maid of the g ist, sai led thence in the steamer North America for Boston, sod r eturned d by the Acadia to Halifax. We spent near y a t ay at Windsor, seven or eight hours in St.- 1 _olla, Boston,aaeu an d hour at Eastport, more than three days in d a 1 lafn Yet Performed the whole revolution in Ova an t a hours less than nine days ! Adding the stoppages . together we find a total of nearly four and a half day s, lea v 1 eg, as the neat space of time necessary to visit B olt on and return (callin ; g at W incisor, St. John, and Eastport).% aga-n to Halifax— only four days and a bait, This presents rather a numerous contrasts to the old s ailing mode of travelling by the packets, In 1835, we were tossed about for eight days, between this port and was alw ays Boston ;—in fact, the Pal i g o e u one of com parative uncertainty a nd te Frosneghs, until the establish reent of the Cunard line. . a r . n . t. e arrival of the Bri tannia, we may date the gradu I . but sure progress of a new and exhilarating i m petas . te Industry and enterprise in Nova Scotia. A g li m mering of the beneficial results breaks through the long v ista of futurity giving encou ragement for increasing noon - , and confirmation to every reasonable hope. as our travel • Expeditious, howev er , both llng was, we are obliged to yield the pa lm,for distance and ra pidity, to a gentleman 3 we enjoyed on a great portion of the route to and from Boston. We allude to Stephen BianeY, York who left Halifax half a day later, and saw New , . and the intermediate places while we remained m Boston. The following notice of Mr. Biuney's route, with which, at our re quest, he has kindly furnished us, will best speak for itself : "Left Halifax on Tuesday afternoon, 25th August, Hilt z , , at four o'clock ; reac h e d half way between ; Halifax and Windsor, at nine o'clock, p.m. Slept . six • there, and started nex t morning t o'clock, and ar rived ' o'clock for St. John, New Brunswick, and arrived there at two o'clock a. m. Left St. John, N. 8., at eleven, a. m. Thursday, and arrived off Boston har bour on Saturday morning at five o'clock, but owing to fog did not land until nine, a. m. Left Boston for New York at five o'clock, p. m., and arrived the fol lowing morning at six o'clock. Spent Sunday and Mon day in New York. Left New York on return to Boston, Monday afternoon, at five o'clock, and arrived the fol lowing morning at four. At twelve o'clock embarked on board the steamer Acadia, and arrived at Halifax at four a.m. on Thursday, 3d September, having been ab sent exactly eight and a half days, and had ample time for the transaction of business or for pleasure ; and having travelled (exclusive of stoppages) with great case and comfort, about fifteen hundred miles in the short space of 131 hours ; and, had occasion required, I could have visited Philadelphia during Sunday, which I spent in New York. Out of the above, one hour was spent rambling about Eastport." The reader will perceive that the average number of miles travelled over, per hour, by stage, steamer, and railroad, exclusive of stoppages, was eleven and a half ; and including stoppages, which were long enough for the transaction of business, about seven and a third miles. Besides this, the route was proved to be cer tain, for the journey that was contemplated in Halifax, was accomplished in fact."—Halifax Morning Post of the 3d Oct., arrived in Liverpool on the 15th Oct. THE GREEK CHURCH. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SIR,—I take the liberty of suggesting to you the propriety, before you make a positive assertion, to as certain the truth of it, because I think well enough of yon to believe that you would not willingly and deli berately make such an utterly unfounded statement as appears in your paper of this day, namely—that Roman Catholic Christianity alone existed for upwards of fifteen centuries. Sir, to that positive assertion I feel it, in justice to myself and many millions of my co-religionists, necessary to give an equally positive contradiction. I am a member of the Church that was founded by St. Paul in Corinth eighteen hundred years ago, a Church which assuredly has never since ceased to exist, which at this day numbers many millions of zealous votaries, and has through the whole course of her glorious'history, loathed and repudiated all communion with Rome and her Christianity. Sir, neither Luther, Calvin, or the Church of England ever protested more loudly against the authority and tenets of the Bishop of Rome than the Church to which I have the happiness to belong has always done and ever will. Ido not think it rea sonable or decorous to attempt to occupy any portion of your paper with a subject so unsuitable to it as a state ment of the many and important differences between the Greek and the Roman Churches. Suffice it then here to say that " by their fruits ye shall know theni," and, accordingly, in the history of the former Church you shall look in vain for any Albigensian cru sade, for any Inquisition, for a Bartholomew massacre, or the still more horrible, because much longer conti nued, massacres that followed what is culled " the revo cation of the Edict of Nantes." It may appear strange that a gentleman who writs so confidently on religious matters as you do should need to be told this, but, Sir, you see that, so it is. Whether you will have the candour to do my insulted Church the justice to publish this humble but honest vin dieation of it, or content yourself with bucking this flat contradiction to your monstrous mis-statement, I am, Sir, with all the respect for you that you desert e, A MEMBER OF THE GREEK CHURCH. [We has® not the slightest inclination to burk our Correspondent's ep'stle, and are willing to allow it to go for what it is worth. Toe influence of Greek Chris tianity on civilization, the only point at issue, we must leave our Correspondent to settle with the Roman Catholics and Protestants, who both disapprove of its doc trines. We will only, in reply to what our Correspondent says about persecution, remind him of the bloody feuds which at an early period existed in the Greek Church ; if at 'a later period there have been none, let our Correspon dent remember that the majority of its congregations have in general consisted of men in a state of slavery, who are themselves the objects of persecution, without an opportunity of showing by retaliation that they are fully endued with the spirit of their persecutors. Per haps. too, our language which was too rigid, may have other exceptions to it pointed out in three or four sects of Christians, which have lived through 41 the slavery of the cast, but without a particle of power to impress on it a more civilized character.—En. Sun.] PARISH OF ST. PANCRAS. Yesterday a meeting of the Directors of the Poor of the above parish took place at the workhouse in the King's-road, for the purpose of considering what stepi should be taken with respect to a letter, signed " One of the Directors of the Poor of the parish of St. Pancras," inserted in The Sun newspaper of the 12th instant, impugning the statement of the Vestry Clerk as to the accounts of the parish, accusing the Board of Directors and Guardians of jobbing, &c., Mr. Ford in the Chair. Mr. APGAHEY stated that, in obedience to the directions of the Board at their last meeting-, he had written to the Editor of The Sun to demand the name of the author of the letter in question, the reply to which was, that the writer of the letter in question had given his name and address, but that it was incompatible with newspaper regulations to give up the names of Correspondents, and therefore he (the Editor) could not comply with the request of the Bond. Mr. VIGERS, M.P., said t!:e letter in question was a tissue of falsehoods or the Director who was the writer would not be ashamed to avow himself.—( Hear, hear, and Oh!) Such a proceeding on the part of a Member of that Board was not only subversive of the principle of common honesty, but it would tend greatly to injure the interests of the parish.—(Hear, hear.) He conceived the Editor of The Sun, having given publicity to an anonymous and fallacious statement, had a right to give some explanation—(Hear, hear, and Oh !)—and he hoped the Board would not that day separate without coming to some resolution expressive of their feelings of indignation relative to the subject.—(Hear, and Oh !) Mr. BRETTINGHAM said the increased expenditure of the parish ought not to have been animadverted on, inasmuch as there were 500 more paupers and 10 more lunatics to provide for than at this time two years. Mr. SIMPSON, in no measured terms, animadverted upon the writer of the letter, and concluded by moving a resolution expressive of the indignation and disgust of the Board at the unfounded assertions and offensive ob• servations contained in the letter in question on the Board, that the Clerk he instructed to publish the letter from the Editor of The Sun, accompanied by a copy of the resolution, appending thereto the name of the Di• rectors present." Air. BRAITHWAITE seconded the resolution. Mr. HORSPOOL proceeded to designate the conduct of the Director who wrote the letter, accusing the Board of jobbing, as infamous, and he believed Mr. Portwine knew more about it than he was disposed to acknowledge.—(Hear, hear, No, no, and uproar.) Mr. SMITH said he had been accused of being the author, which was totally untrue.—(Oh, oh, and" You know something about it.") If he did he would acknow ledge it boldly and fearlessly.—(oh, oh, Hear, hear, and uproar.) Mr. PICKMAN hoped there would be no more news paper communications, as it would only breed further ill feeling. At this stage of the proceedings five or six Directors rose to address the Chairman at the same time, and the confusion that ensued is almost indescribable. It, however, was stayed by the Chairman putting the resolution, which was carried, and the meeting broke up. The Duke of Portland, who is indisposed at Walbeck. has never entirely recovered from the effects of the fall received by his Grace on board the Clown yacht, off Falmouth, when he was on his voyage to Lisbon to visit Lord and Lady Howard de Walden, at Lisboa. His Grace was surrounded by all his family. The Voice Conductors invented by Mr. E. Solomons, Optician, No.l, Old Jewry, City, and No. 36, Old Bond-street, have proved eminently efficacious in some of the most distressing cases of deafness. They are not as large as a fourpenny-piece, and notwithstanding their very small construction, no instruments extant have proved of such advantage to the deaf. From their metallic vibrating quality, table talk is rendered perfectly audible, and the we a rer is enabled to distinguish the faintest icilec tions of a distant speaker in church, theatre, or public assembly. Mr. E. Solomons' Patent Spectacles are far superior to all those in modern use ; they extend immedi ate and continued relief in all cases of defective vision, enabling persons to engage their sight for any length of time, at the most minute employment, either . by day or candle-light, and are thus calculated to preserve vision unimpaired to extreme old age. No other improvement has been effected in spectacle lenses for the last twenty years, and as Mr. S. has secured the exclusive disposal of them to his establishm en t s by " R oya l L etters P atent ," the public should be guarded again s t t h e var i ous attem p ts of parties of a similar name t o counter f e i t t h e a b ove invaluable assistants; it is therefore necessary that par ticular attention should be paid to the Proprietor's address, namely, 1, Old Jewry, City, and 36, Old Bond-street, Piccadilly.

THE FAMINE OF ISPAHAN. The following account of the famine of Ispahan dur og-the-iivBu tho- AvTgbertssis - -nsost.-oppallingt. -.ft it From " The Chronicles of a Traveller," a curious book translated from the Turkish : " During the first three months of the siege, meat, bread, and ether provisions, were abundant in all the markets ; at the end of that period the flesh of camels, horses, and asses, was vended. A horse for slaughter was sold for twelve temans (301.), and some days after twenty-five (621. 10s.), but the price was subsequently increased. 4 n ass was valued at 6 (151.) These being soon constawed, they began to eat the flesh of cats and dogs till ne others were to be found in Ispahan. One day, as I was going from the French to the Eng lish Ambador's palace, seeing a famished woman holding a eat in her hand, which she was desirous of killing, I helped her to slay it, though unwill ingly, as her. hands were lacerated by its claws, and she was unable to master it. Four months after, they began to sell and eat human flesh ; for instance, I saw the heads of five butchers laid on a large stone and pounded. They afterwards ate the intestines of the corpses, with which the streets were full. Though these things, in my opinion, happened by the Divine or dinance, yet I make no doubt that they were occasioned by want of prudence, and the dissensions of the nobles and people ; and it is astonishing that the inhabitants of Ispahan bought every day only sufficient bread and meat to last the four-and-twenty hours, as other per sons not placed in their trying situations would, and did not lay in a stock of provisions in their own houses to last two months. They also in this state admitted into the city the neighbouring inhabitants, who were destitute of sustenance, and, unconcerned about the siege, did not look forward in time to their own stores of food ; for, from the time when Farhabed was seized, until the bridge of Abasabad was taken by the Affghans, the coun try was open to them for three months ; and yet they did not send away the women and children,who were unfit for war before theywere surrounded by the troops. The gates which had hitherto been unclosed, they hoped would continue so ; and, dancing and singing light-heartedly, feared no unfavourable termination to the siege. The French Ambassador, then resident in the city, one day, while visiting the Etimad D o wl e t, seized an oppor tunity that presented itself of advising him to provide food, and send away the useless people, lest he might at length repent of not having done so. But when the Am bassador would have awakened him to a sense of its ne ?es sity the Minister boastfully answered," Oh, we have suffi cient stores to last us for years ;" and easily believed every one who expressed the same opinion as himself. For some time they were destitute of wheat, barley, rice, and every other kind of grain ; the leaves and bark of trees were sold at an equal price for cinnamon ; these dried in the air, and mixed with chaff, were then worth 11 tomas the four ounces (1101. per 16 ounces). They also prepared various herbs and roots, and ate dried skins, and the soles of old shoes soaked in water. These being expended, the people were dispersed in the streets ; married and unmarried wo men, who had hitherto been secluded came out adorned with gems and pearls, clamouring in vain for bread ; but no one desired their jewels,or was able to give them food in exchange for them, until they fell, at length, exhausted to the earth, and expired. The bodies were cast away unburied, and the river was every where full to the .brink with them. The people, in this horrible condition, were no longer themselves, and, with their hearts immersed in the abyss of sorrow, were seized with vertigo. " A certain nobleman, seeing this distress, and knowing mast certainly that his children, relations, and servants were involved in the same calamity, invited them all to supr., after having bought some pounds of meat with the remaining portion of his wealth. With this he mixed Kane Indian poison, saying, " This is the last meal remaieing for you, and ye may be inevitably involved is equal misery with others." He thus perished with all his house. Tile stupendous power of Divine Providence, by which a blind beggar was preserved through the siege, is also deserving of notice ; this man was known to me before its commencement, and I again saw him after its conclusion." FRENCH C RIME —A young man of Vendome, named Fortin, aged IS, during a confinement in the prison of Ithat town, formed an acquaintance with two villains, who, finding in bim a disposition corresponding with their own, enlisted him as an associate. All the three happened to be discharged at the same time. Only two days after wards Fortin learnt that an elderly woman, named Bouzy, living alone at Champigny, had just received 1,500 f., and kept the sum in her house. This information Fortin communicated to his new associates, who instigated him to murder the poor woman, and seize her treasure, taking good care themselves not to participate in the actual com mission of the deed. Fortin went alone, a few nights since, to the woman Bouzy's residence, watched his op portunity, entered her dwelling, murdered her by blows of a bludgeon, and was dragging her body towards a dung heap, with the intent of there concealing it, when he was surprised by a miller, who lived near, and had heard the cries of the poor woman. Fortin was secured and con ducted to prison, where, notwithstanding his youth, he audaciously avowed his crime, expressing regret only that the daughter of his victim bad escaped him THE ELIZABETH RUFF.—The best known, and most distinguishing characteristic of the costume of Elizabeth's day was the ruff; which was worn of such enormous size that a lady in full dress was obliged to feed herself with a spoon two feet long. In the year 1580, sumptuary laws were published by proclamation, and en forced with great exactness, by which the ruffs were re duced to legal dimensions. Extravagant prices were paid for them, and they were made at first of fine holland, but early in Elizabeth's reign they began to wear lawn and cambric, which were brought to England in very small quantities, and sold charily by the yard or half yard; for there was then hardly one shopkeeper in fifty who dared to speculate in a whole piece of either. So "strange and wonderful was this stuff," says Stowe, speaking of lawn, " that thereupon rose a general scoff or byeword, that shortly they would wear ruffs of a spider's web." —The Art of Needlework, by the Countess of Wilton. THE REGICIDE DARMES.—The Court of Peers met on Monday, under the Presidency of Baron Pasquier ; 113 members were present. The Attorney- General having presented his requisitery, the Court de creed that proceedings should be immediately commenced against the author of thel ate attempt on :the King's life, and his accomplices. A committee was next no. minated, vested with the same powers as the Comma Chamber, which consisted of Count de St. Priest, Count de Bondy, Count Philippe do Segur, Baron de Freville, Viscount Pernetty, MM. Ricard, Humaan, De Cambis, De Jessaint, Etienne, Viennet, and Serrurier. The Pre sident appointed the Duke 'tie Cazes, Count Bartard, Baron Girod de l'Ain, and MM. Barthe, Merillsoe, and Persil to assist him in the preliminary examination. SHEMBLD TRADE,—We have heard, with great pleasure, from various quarters, of an amendment in the trade of the town, and we are happy to find it confirmed by a gradual diminution in the weekly pay. ments to the casual poor.

THE NEW HISTORICAL ROMANCE. — Among the numerous works preparing by Mr. Colburn for publication during the ensuing winter, we understand are some historical romances of great interest. The first which is to appear is entitled " The Siege of Florence." This is the production of Daniel Macarthy, Esq., of Florence, a gentleman well known for his varied acquire. ments, and who has, doubtless, had ample scope for their display in the present performance. It is, indeed, sur prising that we have hitherto had so few historical ro mances connected with the social and political annals of Italy, whose history has been one long sentence from her earliest existence as a nation to the present day—a ro mance more exciting in its incidents, move touching in its details, and more instructive in its moral lessons, than any other which the world has witnessed during all that period. SUDDEN DEATH.—Yesterday afternoon a policeman of the T division, who was on duty in John street, Kensington, was observed to stagger and fall sud denly to the ground. Several persons present ran to his assistance and conveyed him into the Camden Arms public house, where a medical gentleman was quickly in atten dance, who attempted to bleed him, and applied other remedies, but unavailingly, as the unfortunate man expired in about ten minutes after the time he was first observed to fall. The deceased had been previously in good health, aind was placed on his beat at seven o'clock in the morning. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. MANCHESTER, rUESDAY EVENING.

THE HAGUE, OCT. 19.—T0-day, at one o'clock, his Majesty. the King left his palace, and proceeded, amidst the acclamations of an immense multitude, to the Palace of the States General, where he opened the Session, with the following Speech : " Noble and Mighty Lords,—On occupying this scat for the first time, after having assumed the reins of Government, my thoughts turned to ray highly-vene rated and dearly-beloved father, who for so long a se ries of years was the ornament of the throne. Your High Mightinesses are oequaint..l with the motives whickinriureell him to deliver to me the Crown of tire- Netherlands, and thus to hasten the moment when my destiny would be more interminably united than ever with that of the kingdom. We all respect his motives, but we turn our eyes with emotion to a decision destined to terminate a reign which will fill so many glorious pages in the annals of our country. May Providence reserve to the King, my father, the enjoy ment of that repose which he has sought. May he long live to be a witness to the abundant harvest, the seeds of which have been so profusely sown during his reign. May the grateful love of the people of the Netherlands always accompany him, and secure to him the most grateful recompense of the constant care with which he has watched for more than a quarter of a century,over the happiness of the people. Strengthened by his ex ample I shall undertake to fulfil the task which has now devolved upon me. At this very moment lam sensible of its importance, but without shrinking from it I place my reliance on the effectual succour of the Most High. I reckon on the true attachment of a nation which knows how to appreciate every effort clic tated by the public good, and I feel convinced that I shall find support in your High Mightinesses, who with me are guided by the same interests, and towards the same object, that of augmenting and consolidating the prosperity of the people, especially by the faithful observance of the fundamental law of the kingdom. With this prospect I esteem myself happy to be able to open this Session of your High Mightinesses, previous to the solemn day in the last fortnight of November, I desire to assemble you around me in the Capitol, in order to fulfil the constitutional forms of inauguration, and then to confirm by oath that which I consider my self as immediately bound at the very beginning of my reign. Your High Mightinesses will assuredly appre ciate the lively joy with which I now think on the blessing showered on my family -by the birth of the Prince, the son of my eldest son, the Prince of Orange. It my ardeut wishes are heard, the descendants of the ' House of Orange will be to the country what his ances tors have been or hope to be. " Our relations with Foreign Powers announce a reci procal desire to maintain the existing friendship which it will be my constant endeavour to consolidate and to confirm. The treaty of commerce with the Sublime Porte concluded at Constantinople last summer has been ratified by the two Governments. The negotiations with France, Switzerland, and the republic of Texas for the interest of commerce and navigation, promise like wise a satisfactory result. The measures rendered neces sary by the multiplications and additions lately made to the fundamental law of the kingdom have just been adopted, or are preparing to be so. It is agreeable to me to see among you in consequence of these changes, members of the Duchy of Lirnburg ; thus the bonds are strengthened which unite in one brotherly whole the interests of that province with those of the other parts of the kingdom. The army and the navy are in a satis factory condition in proportion to the means granted. An appearance of prosperity is generally remarked in the several branches of manufactures and industry. Public instruction continues to produce salutary results, however my reign will direct its attention maturely to consider the priadect ameliorations of which it may be susceptible. Tne_ new legislation of the Netherlands and the administration of justice proceed in their regular course. The prosperity of our East India possessions is a continual subject of gratitude. In the island cf Sumatra, the forces by land and sea continue to act in unison, in promoting the glory and consolidating the power of the Netherlands. If our finances have been sensibly affected by the events of late years, by hopes deceived, and by false calculations, we may at least flatter ourselves that the progressive prosperity of the principal branches of the public welfare, the durable enjoyment of peace, the introduction of useful modifi cations in the laws and suitable economy will heal these wounds. The most complete communications and expla nations respecting the state of the finances, including that of the Syndicate, the suppression of which will be again proposed to you, will be shortly laid before 'Sour High Mightinesscs, in connection with the results of the finances of the colonies. The necessary measures will he proposed to you to fill up the deficits of past years, with which these communications will acquaint you. At the same time the budget of the expenditure will be laid before your High Mightinesses. The hope that in future the expenditure may be met without tew loans will be realised. New taxes will not be required, but it will be indispensable to re-establish the additional centimes which have been suppressed. Necessary changes will be immediately reproposed inthe law of excise on sugar, in that for the encouragement of agriculture, and in the tariff of import, export, and transit duties, which at a future time will be entirely and systematically remo delled. The negotiations w:th Belgium respecting the transfer of the part of the debt assigned to that kingdom, and those relative to the financial objects, have not yet been terminated, nevertheless, I feel confident that the preliminaries towards a final arrangement have now made so much progress that we may hope for a speedy conclusion. Noble and Mighty Lords, the mportance of the present session to the interests of the country is manifest to all. Our enthusiasm roused by a sincere love for our country, will animate your High Mighti nesses,accompanied,l am convinced, by a spirit of modera tion, prudence,and confidence, which are the indispensible basis of that union which is the leading character of the internal connection established by the fundamental law between the Crown and the representatives of the na tion. Let us humbly confide the success of our efforts to him in whose hands the destinies of Princes and na tions repose, and whose protection and aid have hitherto never failed our country." . .

On Tuesday the Police Committee of th Lion sat at Guildhall, en which occasion the report upon the subject of fir e- esc a p es w as preslorti:.‘ 'v.-la the Committee, from Mr. Daniel W,viittle Har4ctisrVllk City Police Commissioner, and iNir, Braidwood, Superintendent of the London Fire a, 1.840. City Police Office, Oct... Gentlemen —ln obedience to your resolutit "1 oft 22d September ult., "That the City Police C. 111 ‘- ti to_ sioner and Mr. Braidwood be requested to consu gether, and report their opinion as to the best plc "t" for a fire-escape, and such as they would recommend fer adoption in the City of London," we have procec without delay to the consideration of this most imp& `r , tant subject. Although we bad the advantage cf being present wl.en the various model.; and plans cvere submit ted to your Committee, and of hearing= the iateres6wr expla nations of their proposed working, we considered dge to the ingenious contrivers, who came before y ou , to reconsider their respective plans and surestiotii, with minuter attention to details than was practicable At t - .?ie first and rapid exhibition of them, The models explanatory suggestiois, brought under the review your C. - _ , minittee, exceeded thirty in numbt2r, each which embraced cue or more of three distinct objects. lit. Machines intended for domestic use only, to be resorted to by inmates of houses in cases of fire. 2d. Machines to be externally applied, and made to combine the security of property with the protection of persons. 3d. Machines exclusively for the protection of life from fire, to be externally applied, under the responsible direction of the police. While we felt that our attention and invirics ought to be mainly directed to the latter of these rib j 'ects we cannot withhold the mggestion, that more than one of the first-named plans alight Le introduced, at a `rifling cost, into houses with great advantage, especiaoy in neighbourhoods not immediately within the reach g more public appliances. When it is known that easy means of descent from the loftiest apartment of a house may be permanently obtained, at a cost considerably under 605., an obligation is imposed upon the heads of families, which to disregard would not only disarm complaint of its justice, but strengthen the impression, that the public are too prone to rely upon external agency, and to throw aside the precautions of individual prudence. Having determined to confine our attention to the objects stated, wo proceeded to the selection of those plans, with a view to their minute inspection, which ap peared to us to combine to the greatest extent the prin cipal objects to be dcsiderated in a machine intended tor the rescue of life from fire. These objects are simplicity and strength of structure, facility of working and of transfer from place to place, and the ready varying of elevation. Upon a review of the models submitted to your Cora mittee in our presence, Jour of them, in an especial manner, attracted our attention, and it is due to the parties to state that they not only submitted their re spective inventions, without the slightest reserve, to our individual examination, but to the keener criticism of each other. Each of the plans thus selected possesses exclusive merits, and in the discharge of a duty so interesting to the public, we have not hesitated to embrace the great advantage which a combination of excellences, not ex clusively the property of either, naturally affords, and which we consider will be found in the plan we shall presently venture to recommend for the adoption of the City of London. The great experience of one of us in cases of fires, and of others who have been attracted to them, justify the opinion that unless the means of escape are at hand within a very few minutes after the discovery of a fire, all human efforts must prove unavailing ; and, it is not has borne out by experience and observation, that when the means were promptly available, no person, with one melancholy and fatal exception, who has visibly sought has failed to find saving he'p. We arc the more anxious to impress upon the minds; of the Committee the paramount importance of iastan-• taneous aid in cases of fire, because we feel that unless instantaneous recourse can be had to well-adapted ma chines, and experienced men to work them, 11 their efforts and wishes must fail. Equally supported by ex perience is the statement, that in the far greater num ber of instances the fire ladders, now used by the Lon don Brigade, have been found, when promptly at hand, fully adequate to the purpose of rendering assistance to. persons in danger, and although other machines or con trivances may be brought to bear in wide streets and. upon lofty houses, that in the narrow streets, courts, and alleys, which abound in the City of London, no other instrument can be effectually used. But, at present, the brigade ladder is only in partial use, under the direction of the Fire Brigade, and in co-operation with engines exclusively employed for Ike extinction of fire, and the rescue of property. To render these ladders at all times available, they. must be placed under the responsible superintendancss of the police, at intervals not exceeding a quarter of is mile, and upon carriages which will hold the several parts or joints of the ladders compactly together um* they arrive at the spot required. To carry the suggestion into effect of having a set of ladders at all times available within the prescribe/1 space, we find that the number required for the City of London will not exceed twenty. But while the experience before reverted to leads us to the conclusion that with the appliances just described, no human life ought to be lost when the danger actually presents itself, we are not insensible to the intense feel-. ing which pervades the public mind upon the subject brought under our consideration, and that it is the duty • of all public authorities to make every reasonable effort, at whatever cost, to assuage the fears of the public. With this impression strong in our minds, we feet that we should disappoint just expectation, as also th tberal and humane policy of the Corporation of Lou don, were we to restrict our recommendation to the ladder already described. We therefore strongly re commend that a machine should always be at hand„ whose firmer appearance, and rapid elongation, should afford assistance to the infirm, and dissipate the alarm's of the timid. Each of the machines, which have been finished, and exhibited before us, embrace some of the requisite qualifications, but not one combines th-a whole. The fire-escape of Mr. Davies is by far the most simple, and the mode of descent superior to any other, where it can be applied, the metal basket in a great measure screening those in it from the smoke, or partial flames from the lower windows, but the entire machine is ponderous, and requires greater aid to move it witit celerity than can always be obtained at the instant, while its unchangeable length restricts its action to all but the widest streets. The machine of Mr. Wivell, which has been for some time before the public is superior to that of Mr. Davies, in so far as it is capable of sonic reduction, ai well as extension, and moves on a carriage of easier guidance, yet its fixed length of thirty-five feet, and tho great strain it requires to elevate it, together with this impediment occasioned to its progress by an adverse wind acting upon the canvas, and its inapplicability to the narrow streets, which abound in the City, are de cided difficulties to its adoption. The sliding ladders of Mt. Gregory, when place(' upon the carriage of Mr. Wivell, form the machine which, upon the whole, we venture to recommend for adoption in the City f London, The utmost length of these ladders, when travelling, is 24 feet, at which height they may be instantly raised, and without being moved can be quickly extended to 40 feet, and with a little contrivance may be carried considerably higher. This machine may be drawn along the streets quickly, and quickly elevated by two men, while the method of raising the additional length is simple, and unencumbered with cordage and other contrivances which complicate many of the fire escapes submitted U. our inspection. While we feel assured that in carrying oat a plan which has for its object the first of social duties, the be Corporationexpeeted that will w note should submit bestar tledb y to expense, your cco yet om if I may te w some estimate of the probable annual cost of mainaain . a ing the propos e d es t a bli s h ment, as well as the preheat:• nary outfit. To have a set of brigade ladders, on a fitting car• riage, in which are to be stored the ropes, belts, can• vacs, bag, and other conveniences to facilitate descent, SC intervals sufficiently near to be in actual use within fivo minutes after the discovery of a fire, would requires twenty complete sets, and would cause an outlay front 330/._ to 4001. We further propose that ten of Gregory's ladders., mounted as before described, and similarly equ ipped es the oth er l a dd ers , b e ass i gne d t o appropr i a te localities; and committed, during the hours of the night, to the charge of ten police constables. The cost of these ladders, with the carriage and equipments, would be between 300/. and 400/„ to which must be added the constant charge of ten constables. That these machines may be used with promptitude and precision, we suggest that the officers and mosta. bles of the police force should be frequently exercised in their use, and the whole placed under the control of the chief office. In noticing the subject of cost, and the maintenance of the Life Preserving Establishment, we are induced to recommend, it will not fail to occur to your C om . mittee that its adoption will save the parochial autbori. ties, within the City, much expense, and relieve th eA of the gravest responsibility.
