VOR the arcatest a meliorations of civilized life, we are indebted to the modern division of attention and labour Ti the various pursuits of society, and in none have its be 'lefts been so manifest as in the healing art. Early convinced of this Great truth, ;MESSRS.

WERE any further proofs required to give authenticity to the Papers and Documents already placed before the public, in regard to some of the transactions in which Sir Felix Booth, Bart., has latterly occupied a con spicuous share, it would not be difficult or irrelevant to show an additional instance of the " want of attention of the Baro net" to fulfil his compacts with Mr. Home. By the agreement of 1836, existing between the parties, it is declared, " that in case of any dispute or difference arising on either side as to any matter or thing contained in this agreement, the same in all cases shall be settled by reference." Would it be believed after this, that all attempts at an " amicable adjustment" of the matters contained in the said agreement had been carefully avoided by Sir Felix Booth, though repeatedly impressed upon him by Mr. 'dome, and that twelve months had been in vain expended in soliciting this " patron of the inventions of others" to give his attention to such a course, and to act conformably with his contracts? What are we to think of a man, who, with holding the payments for an invention, by which he is acquiring wealth, puts his " own interpretation" upon " mutual deeds," and refuses to submit to " arbitration," though bound to do so by the very words of the agreement itself ! Verily the wise man is as a jewel, and gladdens the heart of the beholder ; but he that "climbeth above his station" showeth only his naked ness ! Copy of Original Letter to Sir Felix Booth, Bart..:-- " SIR.,—As no advice has been forwarded to me in reply to my letters of the 15th and 27th of August, containing a repeti tion of the proposals made by me for an adjustment of my de mands, and believing that you cannot very consistently perse vere in your present line of conduct, so contrary to the usages of business and of fair dealing, I again point out the propriety of your taking an early opportunity to direct your attention to the performance of the engagements you have entered into with me. "Perfectly satisfied of the justice of my views in regard to these transactions, I call your recollection to the extraordinary fact, that after twelve months' application for an adjustment of my claims, no approach whatever has been made on your side to attain that object, or the slightest reason assigned for your present unexampled course. " At the same time I wish to intimate, that having offered a reference' on a former occasion, should that mode prove more agreeable, I can have no objection to leave the construction of the matters in the deed to the adjudication there contemplated, or submit it to mutual friends for " arbitration ;" or I shall be prepared with the names of two of the most eminent distil lers in London, conversant in such matters, before whom the necessary papers shall be submitted, and by whose opinions I shall be governed. Offering these proposals with perfect sincerity, but without prejudice to my rights, and allowing you one clear week for a rerly f I am, Sir, your obedient servant, DAVID HOME.

The peccant piece was a farce called Th e Baro thaellsethweerheearveinthneaewtss of the old vet ; or, Female Society. We need not trouble our readers with the detail of a plot which was worked out with an elabo. rate but most infelicitously witless ingenuity. The house gave e , d , , th a e n f d ar A th l e r. r some unequivocal tokens of its disrelish for this production during the performance of its first act.

Covent -garden, perhaps, thought it owed way shoulderswhen this freak to the first of April. Low TIDES.—For these two weeks past the tides have been so extremely low, that several vessels of the largest tonnage have found a difficulty in getting down the river after loading at the Broomielaw. They have never been lower in the memory of man. The long continued drought, and the prevalence of easterly winds, have been the cause of the extremely low tides.—Glasgoto Chronicle.

I can remember a vast nuitiber of Derbys," says a Correspondent of the Post, " hitt never ohe for which so friany lame horses were backed, just look at the Vlotviti:t list i Ottoman, Bolthara, %ley Ishttlael; bleliore y, biplomatist, Chameau, It mast be on itt'ont of the erroneous but generat opinion that PhospliOrlis was lame when he won the Derby, and the Qtteeh of Trumps in that usually hopeless condition when 'the won the Oaks, I cannot myself recommend the s y stem, wteiever others may do. Among the ' have been 15 .1.,e ones' we find Launcelot, Black Bess, Velvet colt, and Mtassin, I bee" repeatedly been assured that these were lame, and had no thatice. It will be ve r y fo rtunate when the y are all lathe, as 1 dare say they will be before the day, as then all will have fair play. Prince Albert and Cormorant were backed as if they would be better favourites. Better favourites are sadly wanted, the betting , lately having been most unfa vourable to the betters round , ' HINTS TO 0 oVErtN ESSES.--At an inquest held on TtiOschty, upon the body of a child who was burned to death, the Coroner, Mr. Higgs, said that accident byfire caused in the metropolis the deaths of so many children, that some effec tual means ought to -be tried to prevent their every-day recur rence. He thought governesses might do an immense deal of good, if they would strongly impress on the minds of children entrusted to their care how dangerous it was when their clothes caught fire to run about the room or into the streets. Gover nesses ought to teach children that the best way to extinguish their ignited clothes was to throw themselves on the floor, and roll themselves up in the hearth-rug or carpet. Nearly one third of the inquests held during the winter months in London were on the bodies of burned children. 39, ALBEMARLE-STREET, PICCADILLY. — DEAFNESS AND DEFECTIVE VISION.—A greater proof of the value of the Messrs. S. and B. Solomons' Invisible Opera tive Voice Conductor, and newly-invented Spectacle Lenses, cannot be adduced, than the circumstance of the many thou sands of individuals who have obtained the greate,t, benefit and instant relief, and the constant immense demand there is for them, and the patronage they have, and daily continue to re ceive. The Messrs. S. and B. Solomons disclaim all connec tion with persons of the same name, and the sale of amber spec tacles ; the pernicious use of amber spectacles being now well known to the public, and the vendor being aware of it, he has therefore altered their name, by leaving out the word " Am ber," and calling them " Patent Spectacles." Dr. Andrew Ure, Esq., M.D., F. R. S., &c., states amber is most power fully electrical by friction, very hot, to such an extent at to ex plode into fragments. The workmen, too, are subject to a ner vous tremor in their wrists, arms, &c. ; they encounter great danger by handling such dreaslfully excited electrics. Amber i; of such a soft and sticky nature, that it is apt to take fire ; and when exposed to warmth, it swells, bubbles up, and will burn away with flame. This statement is further confirmed by Sir D. Brewster and Pliny, as also by Parks and Hems on Chemistry. The pernicious and destructive use of such a ma terial for spectacles to imperfect vision may be ascertained at any respectable optician's in London.-39, Albemarle-street. The largest block of black marble ever produced from the quarries in Galway, Ireland, has just been landed at Messrs. Searle and Foot's stone wharf, Abingdon-street, West minster. We understand it is to form part of a most magnificent marble staircase, now executing by the London Marble Com pany, Esher-street, Westminster, for Hamilton Palace, in Scotland. THE NEW NAV kl.. NOVEL, BY THE AUTHOR OF " RATTLIN, THE REEFER, " entitled " JACK ASHORE," seems to be exciting greater interest than any work of its class, which has appeared for some time. A contemporary observes of it—" We find it impossible to use terms which shall suffi ciently testify the admiration of Mr. Howard's talents and genius which this work has excited in us. There is unquestionably no other living writer who could have worked out this story, or rather the general idea on which it is constructed, with any thing like the 'power, both of passion and of humour, that is displayed in this truly original production ; and tv,o ‘ venturo to prediet that it will be read with as intense an hilliest by the highest and most cultivated intellects in the realm, as it. will with the most eager curiosity and entertainment, by the merest idler of the circulating library." LIGHTS AND SHADES OF MILITARY LIFE. —EDITED BY MAJOR-GENERAL SIR CHARLES NAPIER, K.C.8., &c.—There is great interest in these volumes, and for the English reader, very considerable novelty ; and that, too, on a subject of which we ought to know much, and do know but very little,— namely, the nature, constitution, and habits of the French army. We feel pleasure in recommending this book to the attention of the military service of England, as one in which they cannot fail to take as lively an interest as they have done in those of a similar kind which have emanated from their own body, for it is not only written with talent and spirit, but it arises out of a state of things so different from that appertain ing to our own military service, that it will doubly amuse, while it affords them an unlooked for and most welcome amount of indispensable information. Looking at the volumes with non professional impartiality, we cannot help pronouncing them to contain more amusement both for the military and civil reader, than any two of equal size that have hitherto proceeded from members of our own military service.—New Monthly. TESTIMONIALS ON THE PATENT SPECTA• CLES OF MR. E. SoLostosTs, 36, OLD. BOND-STREET, AND ' No. 1, OLD JEWRY, CITY.—From Sir Anthony Carlisle, F.R. S., President of the Royal College of Surgeons, and Se nior Surgeon to the Westminster Hospital :—" The Patent Spectacles of Mr. E. Solomons seem to me likely to afford additional aids to imperfect vision ; and, because of their supe rior refracting power to glass, or other dense materials, they promise to affird new resources for the construction of spec tacles.

THE WEATHER. —A more auspicious seed time than the present has rarely been known to us, and if it be true that a beneficent spring is usually succeeded by a boun teous harvest, We have on this occasion reason to hope the best. In the valleys seed-time is almost entirely concluded, and afe -.- days will close the work on the uplands, and rarely has the seed got a more favourable bed. The wind, which came for nearly a fortnight from the east and north-east, has changed within the last day or two to the westward, and already the air is soft and balmy, and gives foretaste of the primroses of April. Yesterday rain fell at an early hour in the morning, and the pastures, which are now bare enough, are likely to come away , rlenteously should no adverse crook in the elements supervene. Glasgow Herald. NOVEL PAPER MONEY.—The postage stamps will be a very convenient and novel paper currency for sums of small amount—indeed for any sum whatever under 11. sterling. A sheet of the adhesive stamps, minus two cut off, will be good paper for 18s. 10d. ; a sheet minus five will be good for 18s. 7d. and so on Correspondents will pay small debts of pence through the medium of these penny stamps. You wish to order a twopenny pamphlet cr a fivepenny newspaper; by trans mitting in an envelope the required number of stamps you effect the payment, which, for such sums, there are no ready means of doing at present.

The political news communicated in them is not of importance, if we except a report prevalent at Rio that General Lavailliere had been defeated with his troops in two engagements. The Exchange on Lon don was 314. ; the Funds had been very heavy, in con sequence of a reported new loan, but as this proved to be unfounded, they subsequently improved to 71 and 73. The stock of Coffee at Rio was 12,000 bags; the sales had been moderate. The plentifulness of money has at length operated in producing a slight advance in Consols, which were quoted just before the close of the business 90i 4 for Money, and 903 1 for Time.

It will be presented, on an early evening, b 7 Loyd, Sandon. The Times of this morning, speaking of the financial accounts lately moved for by Mr. Herries, in the House cl Commons, observes :—" But we have selected, as a spe cimen of the information afforded by them, a statement o the surplus of income during the last four years of a Tory Government (the Duke of Wellington having resigned in November, 1S30), and of the deficiency of income during the years ending on the sth of January, 1838, 1839, _and 1840. We find that, without taking into consideration the probable addition to the deficiency for 1841 to be occa. sioned by the Chinese war, the deficit for those three years, i-h the estimated loss on the Post-office for the year ending on the sth of January, 1841, amounts to more than 3,600,0001., while the surplus for the four years ending on the sth of January, 1830, amounted to more than 9,700,0001!"—The Morning Advertiser remarks, with reference to the Corn•law question, that it is a cause " which can alone be furthered by union as well rs energy, by incessant and elaborate elucidation of its ramified and national merits ; and, as regards the millions, by such positive proofs of their in terest in the matter, and of the good faith and sympathy towards them of those who lead in the movement, as may ensure from high and low, rich and poor, a cordial, zealous, determined, at-d united effort to break the fetters of the vilest monopoly which ever fastened its withering grasp on the vigour of industry, and the vitality of national weal. Every member of the Government we find with great pleasure in the Lower House will vote for inquiry."—TheMornieg Chronicle thus alludes to Mr. Villiers's speech on the Corn laws last night in the Housed Commons : —"Mr. Villiers was very successful in showing that the Corn-laws were inju rious to all the productive classes, and in the long run to the landlords themselves. In the case case of the farmers, when prices are moderate the cry of agricultural distress is heard in every quarter. When prices are high, again, the labourers, who can barely exist on their low wages in years of agricultural distress, suffer the most dreadful pri vations. The manufacturers and merchants, again, arc most injuriously affected by the revolutions caused by a sudden and irregular demand for corn from foreigners; and Mr. Villiers adduced abundant evidence to show how much our commerce with America suffered by the derange ment of our currency caused by the Corn-laws."— The Morning Herald remarks, in the course of a lead ing article on the religiotis state of our colonies : " The requisition, which appeared in yesterday's Herald. from the leading merchants, bankers, and traders of the city of London to the Lord Mayor, to hold a public meet ing to consider the religious destitution of the colonies,' is so numerously and respectably signed as almost to pre clude the propriety of calling the attention of our readers to this important subject. It does infinite honour to the principles and patriotiim of those who originated this ad dress. We have 110 doubt the meeting at the Egyptian Hall, on Wednesday, the Bth of April, will be worthy its momentous object. It has too long been the reproach of this great commercial country, that we have overlooked or neglected those duties which Providence has imposed on tly3 by conferring this commercial superiority over other nations."

Mr. Mathew commenced administering the temperance pledge. Nothing could exceed the anxiety which was manifested by the people to embrace a life of tem perance. There could not have been fewer than 4,000 people present at any time of the day; and, though the weather was extremely unpropitious, yet the interest of the multitude never flagged. The Very Reverend Gentleman, previous to his com mencing the good work, addressed the assembly on the benefits likely to arise from temperance, after which the persons anxious to take the pledge were admitted to the presence of the great apostle of the moral reformation. The Very Reverend Gentle man stood upon the steps immediately under the portico, at the entrance of the Custom-house, facing Beresford-place, and the " pledgers " covered the landing around him.

INTELLIGENCE OF PRO-CORN-LAW-MEN. — An extraordinary instance of clodpole wisdom lately occurred at Kirton, Lincolnshire, which deserves to be recorded as a " sign of the times," as well as because of its instructive bear ing on the constitution of juries, and the present system of Parliamentary representation. At a Sessions held there, a few weeks ago, a prisoner was arraigned for having stolen pig iron from the premises of an ironmonger at Gainsborough. After the usual examination of witnesses, and a lame defence by the pri soner, the jury were ordered to bring in their verdict ; when, to the horror and dismay of the prisoner and the Court, the Foreman announced that they had unanimously agreed that the prisoner was " Guilty of MANSLAUGHTER !"fhe Recorder then explained to the Solons that the offence was Stealing, and .hat their duty was to consult whether they considered him guilty or not guilty of that offence. After a little jolting toge ther of heads, the Foreman returned a verdict of " Guilty, and we also sentence hint to Six Months on the wheel !" Now, we will defy any one to pick out thirteen greaetleosobißesidtihan these jurors, from any operative class in o h tshend West Riding. These are a sample of the constituency impose laws upon the people while employed on re t a:d ' oir of o,, th o e p oo o o or se , o a t n . d t I o - t of P arliament 11 to state, that the Members 1.l may be we gislators to Parliament, to tors below.. are repre senting the district to which the . abov h e egi b s a h f ~ Lord Wersley and Mr. R.

FATAL ACCIDENT AT SEA.—HEROIC CON.. num—On Saturday last, about six o'clock, while the Royal bread-taxers: and voted last year against Mr. Villiers's motion Adelaide steam-ship was on her voyage from Leith to London, George Craig, the jib-boom of the ship. fell overboard into the sea. The en gines were almost immediately stopped, and at the same moment William Kinnear. the man at the helm, jumped overboard after his shipmate. The weather was very boisterous, and the sea in the boatswain of the vessel, a rough state, tut Kinnear being an excellent swimmer battled with the waves until he succeeded in coming up with Craig, w ho had drifted s ome distance from the steamer. The heavy s ea prevented h im retainin g his hold of the p oor fellow for more than a few moments, and he was obliged to let go. A second time he grasped his shipmate, but the waves again sepa rated them, and long before any boat could reach the seamen, Craig sunk and perished. Kinnear was nearly sharing a similar fate, and was taken on board in a most exhausted state. The brave conduct of Kinnear excited the warm approbation of the passengers and crew. The fatal occurrence took place off the Bass Rock, and the steamer was going at the rate of more than ten knots an hour. CORN-LAWS AND POOR-LAWS. TO THE EDITOR OP THE SUN. SIR-Will you oblige a Ceytistant Reader by stating your opinion respecting the justice of fefiedling tfitt the land being subject to poor-rates, capital Debt; free from this onerous tax? Does it not seetil 19rilluitt that the landlord should be made to ben - all the burden of tl9c poor, and that the manufacturer, fundholder, and other car?til ists should escape without eontributing anything towards the support of the poor, who fill entirely upon the land ? There are many who feel this objection which I now lay before you, and by muting it fairly you will really much oblige A DECIDED ENEMY TO A TAX ON BREAD. March 31, 1840. [Our Correspondent is mistaken ; capital, such as houses, factories, &c., is liable to poor-rates. Property in the funds is not. By a like decision of the Courts even the profits of trade are held to be liable to this impost, most erroneously, in our opinion, because the law, we believe, originally contemplated the produce of land exclusively as the fund out of which the relief of the poor was to come. At the time of passing the poor-law there was scarcely any other surplus property in existence. But supposing capital wholly exempt from Poor.rates, and supposing them to be paid wholly and exclusively out of rent, that may be a good reason for throwing some of the burden on capital, for revising the law of assessment to the poor, but no reason whatever for maintaining the Corn-lairs, which do not fall exclusively on capitalists, but on all who eat bread, including all the labourers. We have frequently before had this case presented to us, and our answer has always been that to tax the labourer by Corn-law, because the capitalists escape a tax, is a monstrous injustice. If there be any wrong or partiality in the assessment to the poor, let that be revised, but let it not be an excuse for perpetrating an additional injustice. While we are on the subject, let us add, that it appears highly probable that much of the present prosperity of the landed interest, which is attributed to the Corn•laws, ap pears more likely to be due to the New Poor-law, which has lowered the Poor-rates upwards of 2,000,0001. a year, or 10,933,0131. in ten years.] NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. (From the Brighton Gazette.) PORTSMOUTH.—On Monday her Majesty's ship Andro mache, 26, Captain Baynes, hoisted the usual flag for sailing, having received orders to proceed without delay to Simon's Bay, Cape of Good Hope, there to remain as senior officer of the squadron. It is reported that in future the duties of the station will be performed by a Commo dore instead of a Rear-Admiral. The Andromache is preparing to weigh anchor, and to sail immediately. The Wizard brig, Lieutenant Birch, reached Rio dc Janeiro from Plymouth, on the 28th December, and sailed on the 2d January for Buenos Ayres, to join the squadron there, and was afterwards to proceed to Callao, to join Rear- Admiral Ross. The successor to Admiral Sir Robert Stopford, in the Mediterranean command, has not yet been promulgated, but the intended flag-ship, Queen, 110 guns, is nearly completed at this port for the pendant. Sailed on Saturday, the receiving-ship 'Etna, Lieut. Wilson, direct for Passages, north coast of Spain, with biscuit for the use of Commodore Lord John Hay's squadron. The Gleaner steamer, Lieutenant Hayes, proceeded on Sunday to Plymouth, on her way to the \Vest India station. The corvette Pearl, 20, Commander Frankland, is under orders to join Rear-Admiral Ross's squadron on the Brazil station, for whom she takes despatches and supernume raries. Her arrival at Spithead from Sheerness is hourly looked for. The Rodney, 92, Commodore Parker, left Malta for England on her way to Plymouth to be paid off, on the 6th of March. Sho took supernumeraries and despatches. The Cyclops steam-ship, Captain Austin, has proceeded to Plymouth, on her way to Lisbon, Gibraltar, and Malta. She took supernumerariei and despatches. The brig Pantaloon, 10, Lieut. Tryon, returned from the Sussex coast on Sunday, and will again proceed thither on Thursday for the protection of the fishery. The Pique, 36, Captain Boxer, was in Plymouth Sound on Sunday, kept ready for immediate departure, waiting despatches from the Admiralty. I The Columbia steam transport, Mr. Thorrpson , mast er, commanding, has left Plymouth for the West Indies, to touch at San Sebastian and Passages. At Spithead—Andromache, 26, under sailing orders. In Harbour—Britannia and Victory, flag-ships, Van guard, Magieienne, Jupiter, Pantaloon, Messenger, Ex cellent, Victor, and Royal George yacht. TRIUMPH OF TEMPERANCE. REV. THEOBALD MATHEW IN DUBLIN. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SlR,—The most sanguine advocates for the successful pro gress of this great and glorious moral revolution could not have anticipated the triumphal scenes which yesterday's proceedings exhibited in this city, of which I endeavoured to give you a faint outline in my hurried communication. Those scenes, however extraordinary, have been surpassed by the proceedings of this day. The immense space at the rear of the Custom-house, and the numerous spacious ap proaches thereto were crowded; and the people evinced the most intense interest in the extraordinary and solemn scene— for truly may it be so called. Thousands upon thousands of men and women voluntarily and solemnly renouncing their most cherished, and therefore insatiable propensities, those for intoxicating liquors. Public houses have become to a great extent deserted. Only two cases of drunkenness heard yesterday in one of the police offices. For no act does the Government deserve more the gratitude of every well wisher for the peace, the morality, and the consequent prosperity of this unfortunate country, than for the encouragement given:to th is great peaceable moral movement.

The Rev.

Then, Proprietary Chapels, and the District Church system— wcknihuntronehsc: of Mr. m , Neile, proceeded as to the challenge which he (M r.

The case then mentioned referred not to the offeiing, but the place of presenting it. The offering was &- dared to be of the people's own good-will, and thel cutting off on refusal of it—meant separation from the' congrega•ion, not the infliction of death by man. The Rf.v. Gentleman expressed his deep regret that Mr: Itl l Neile should have made it an argument for the con nection of Church with State—that such connection was needed by way of restraint upon the influence which would otherwise b.- acquired by the clergy, owing to the ghostly character with which their office invested km, and the temptations to superstition which they presented, by the alleged necessity of their sacraments ; could it be wondered at that Dissenters , w h o g ave no such extreme sanction or weight to their administration of their ordinances, should shrink from such a Church ?" The Rev. Lecturer further dwelt on the acknowledged inability of the Church to correct many regretted abuses— as the mockery of the conge d'eli, e, and the unmanageable extent of parishes—by reason of her connection with the State, Mr, Ilurnet was warmly cheered thr:ughout, and find ing it impossible to finish his subject then, adjourned till Wednesday the question of the .

On leaving his work oil Friday, lie hrd given -,instructions to James John, the mart who during the night had the charge of pumping out ,he water, to call him on the following morning, and it a's-, peared in evidence before the Coroner's Jury, that John left the engine about six o'clock for that purpose, leaving a man named David Davies (who had been discharged for bad conduct) in the engine -house, and giving him strict injunc tions not to interfere with the engine. However, it appeared by the evidence of a young girl about fifteen, daughter of Jas. John, that no sooner had he turned his back than Davie% took a bar of iron in his hand, went out of the house, and del;be rately altered the gear of the engine, and proceeded to lower the ieople down. One tram, with five persons, arrived safe a: the bottom of the shaft, forty fathoms deep ; the second tram, with five children, had not been lowered more than five fathoms, when, horrible to relate, the engine Tan amain, ai.d the pour victims were precipilated to thy bottom of the pit. On taking them up, William Morris, aged fourteen, was found in the last agonies of death ; John John, aged fifteen, was so s-verely injured that he only survived till the following morning ; John Phelp had both arms broken : John Philipps, aged 11, was severely bruised, but not dangerously hurt ; and W. Ennorth miraculously escaped without the slightest injury. On Monday morning an inquest was held on the bodies before J. J. stokes, Esq., when a lengthened examination took place, but the Jury not ' agreeing on their verdict, the inquest was adjourned until nine o'clock the following morning. On Tuesday the difference of opinion among the jurymen still existing, some declaring it to be a pure accident, and others that the deceased came to their death by the negligence and disobedience of David Davies, the Coroi.er dismissed the Jury, in which state the investigation now remains.— Welshman. A PRIEST WITHOUT ORDERS.—The inha bitants of the line du Petit Pont were awakened two nights ago by a hoarse voice chaunting pa: ts of the Church service, accompanied by still harsher tones of what seemed to be in tended for music, relieved at intervals by the sharp ringing of a little bell. On opening their windows they beheld an elderly man, dressed as a priest, in full canonicals, singing psalms to the utmost pitch of h s voice, occasionally ringing his bell, and accompanied by two men, one of whom played on a cracked clarionet, the other on a violin out of tune. The pious man was, however, shortly afterwards met by a patrol of Municipal Guards, who conducted him to the guard-house, where he accounted fir his conduct by declaring that as he thought a re ligious procession very amusing, and as he lived ia a free country, he was enjoying himself in his own way. It was soon found that he was as cracked as the clarionet, ard he has since been sent to the lunatic asylum of Bicetre.—Paris Paper. There is no truth in the statement which ap peared in several journals last week, to the effect that Sir Philip Durham had been deprived of the use of his arm by paralysis. 1 The Gallant Admiral is quite well, and on his road to London from his seat in Scotland. HINT TO FARMERS.—Mr. Baird, Greenbank, Pollokshaws, having heard often that rats had a great aversion to garlic, has taken the pains during these past two seasons to test the truth of it. In the spring of 1838 he sowed a small plot of garlic in his garden ; and when the grain was deposited in the stack-yard in harvest, a little of the garlic was strewn on the ground, and it was found when the stacks were put in in the spring of the following year, that they were entirely free from the inroads of the rat. In 1839 Mr. Baird repeated the experiment, and last week he took in the last of his stacks without having sustained the slightest damage.— Glasgow Herat'd. The grecs, the property' of the late lamented Colonel Lincoln Stanhope, were sold at Tattersall's on Tues day, as well as the drag, which all who have been in the habit of passing by Hyde Park-corner in the season must well remember. Some anxiety was felt by the inhabitants of Romford, on Saturday night last, by the non-arrival of the eight o'cl)ck train down, and fears were entertained that some accident had occurred. About nine o'clock, however, several postchaises and chariots arrived at the White hart Inn, when, a red that t t h h e e e t n r g ai i n ne le g f a t v t e h w e a l y .o , n a d n o d n s s t t o a p t p io ed n on oe inquiry, n it pp at its usual time, arrived safely at Ilford , and discharged the passengers for'that place, but as it was about to proceed en to Romford, of the tubes its progress. — Chelmsford Chronicle. ATTEMPJED SUICIDE.—MTS. WOHOII, Of Pimlico, made an tt a empt to cut her throat on Saturday night last. She was in bed, and her husband asleep by her side. She managed to reach his trousers, put her hand in the pocket. and poc et. and drew out a clasp-knife, with which she made a desperate stab in the throat. • Monday an inquest was held before Mr. Higgs, at the Harp cavern, Jermyn-street, St. J ames ' s , on th e body of Mr. Williams, aged 59, for many years the landlord of the above tavern. He had lately complained of pain in the chef, but for the last few days had been better. The surgeons opinion was that death was caused by disease of the heart. Verdict—" Died by the Visitation of God." The sudden deaths that have lately occurred are more numerous than have been known for a long period. INTERESTING TO SEte•RET ORDERS.—On Monday last (before T. FL Marshall, Esq.), a case was de cided in the Court of Requests, Leeds, of considerable import ance to Secret Orders and Benefit Societies, the following being briefly the question at issue : Thomas Rhodes, of Morley, but formerly of Hunslet, seas summoned by seven in comprising a Committee of a Lod g e of Druids the latr place, for balance of a promissory note'(l o /. 93. i ( n id te es rest, included) given under the following circumstancetsru: Rh o appeared, d stee b the had in the year 1836 been app by deposited _ ;'e, and appointment bad 121. of its fund: by virtue of such a' dne till in the Savings' Bank, where it remained 1837, when he ted it to his own use. When withdrew the whole, and appropriated this fact became known to the I ,he was waited upon by s everal of the members, with a view to ascertain when he intended the money to be forthcoming. A promis sory note for 121. 10s. (which included the interest due by the bank) was then given to him, payable on demand to the Committee above alluded to. This was in September 1837, and from that time until the present the Committee had only received 3/. 35.; and they therefore sought to recover the balance. The defendant did not deny his liability, but contended that, as a member of the lodge, he had a right to deduct from it the amount of money which he had paid in. The Court, however, gave a verdict for the full amount of the balance, with , the usual costs.—Leeds Times. PRESENCE OF MIND.—A singular instance of what may be done, undsr circumstances of danger, by coolness and presence of mind*, occurred last week. Two elderly females were walking on Tuesday on the south banks of the river Ouse, between Newton and Linton Lock, near where a drove of Irish beasts were grazing.
