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 for some unaccountable reason have been either altogether overlooked, or treated with apathy, and almost in difference, by the ci 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 t• 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 wo consider such person to hold the relation at 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 •f 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 practict s so often introduced into schools, whereby the health and ultin.stely the lives of his pupils are sure to be compromised, unless the evil be checked in proper time. He will hero find a clue to guide him through the intricate mazes of this moral labyrinth, and a standard whereby to judge, when delitlacy of health should appear to attack any of his young charges, what the real cause of such attack may be, and thus he will be enabled to check the evil in its incipient state. The CLERGYMAN, in whose sacred character, is at once concentrated the twofold relation 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 out the disastrous consequences which are sure to fellow from them, if nut relinquished. . _ Messrs.

They all bear military , rank, as in the Russian service ; in fact, all the Egyptian sailors are taught the manual exercise, and to consider themselves marines and soldiers also.

Husbasha Saanee (second" head of a hundred"), 500 piasters per month, and three rations per day, 32 in the ally of infantry, but on!) , 16 in that of artillery ; Mulasm Owell (First Lieu tenant), 300 piasters per month, two rations per day, 32 to an ally : Sulasm Saanee (Second Lieutenant), 250 piastres per month, two rations per day, 32 to an ally ; A Soloollas, (captain of a brig) 2 purses (not pia-- tars) a month, and four rations a day ; A Solcollas (in the army, Bimbashi's " left-hand man"), four to an ally, 75 piasters a month, and two rations per day ; Musaid Owell (First Midshipman), 150 piasters a month, two rations per day; Musaid Sansee (Second Midshipman), 100 piasters per month, and two rations per day ; Phy sician to the Nile steam-frigate (the Pasha's yacht), William Spence, a Scotehman, 2,000 piasters per month ; Physician to the fleet (Dr. Bichene, an Italian), 1,500 piasters per month, and five rations per day ; Surgeons (army and navy, English, Italian, and French), 1,000 piasters per mouth, and four rations per day ; Assistant- Surgeons (Italians and Greeks), 580 piasters per month, and three rations per day ; Arab surgeons (Clot Bey's eleves in the schools of Paris and Cairo), from 250 piasters to 1,500 piasters per month ; Pursers, from 200 piasters to 500 per month, and two rations per day ; In spector, 1,000 piasters per month ; Boatswain (Bash rice), from 150 to 250 piasters per month ; Gunners, 150 to 250 piasters per month. These three last mentioned naval grades vary in re muneration according to the size of the vessel. Every person is entitled to two rations when his pay amounts to 150 piasters a month ; orily jmno ration. The following five are rated according to age, aef‘" vice, and ability at the pleasure of the captain—viz., carpenters, from 40 to 300 piasters per month ; boat. swain's mates, from 55 to 175 piasters per month ; guar ternaasters-from 90 to 250 piasters per month ; era from 50 to 250 ; • and seamen from 15 to 30 piasters a month. 100 piasters are equal to 1/. Sterling. The English engineers on board the steamers are paid by contract from 200/ to 3751. each per annum. The rations allotted to each man per day, both in army and navy alike, are—Biscuit, 200 drachms (of 48 English grains each) ; if soft bread be served out in stead, 300 drachms ; rice, 40 drachms ; maize, 25 drachms ; beans, 40 drachms ; gee, a specie of coarse butter, or lard, imported from Russia, 7 drachms ; oil, 8 drachms ; vinegar, 10 drachms ; olives, 20 drachms ; salt, 5 drachms ; wood for fuel, 200 drachms ; mutton, 30 drachms. N.B. Seldom served out. Both soldiers and sailors thrive very well on this al lowance, and are never heard to complain of it, being much better than they could procure if they stayed at home. In the fleet the Egyptian portions of the crew seem to considers themselves as masters, and take upon themselves to hold the Turks to their duty. The re moval of the Turkish officers will completely establish the Egyptian supremacy. THE NEW NOVEL, " THE HISTORY OF A FLIRT." — This clever novel, the authorship of which has been ascribed to one of the chief leaders in the fashionable world, is receiving the greatest commendation from our cri tical contemporaries. The Athenaeum characterizes it as " among the best novels of its kind for many years given to the world by the English press. Easy in manner, sound in moral, various in its display of common-place and un common character, the lively Louisa Vansittart's chronicle of her misdeeds thoroughly succeeds in enchaining atten tion, and makes up a healthy, wholesome, agreeable book. The Flirt contrives, even when most heartlessly playing with hearts for stakes, to rescue herself even from the con tempt and disapproval of such severe moralists as critics should be. We cannot cease to care for her though she write down among her sins three distinct engagements of marriage, and the calamities caused by her breaking the same, because we wish her cured—we know sl - e must be —and cured she is, most naturally, with enough of poetical justice in the shape of suffering, to content us We heartily recommend this book, as a genuine, useful, and interesting antidote to the long evenings of the coming winter." We understand that the Churchmen of Dundee had some thought of purchasing the Chronicle as an organ in defence of their ecclesiastical rights and privileges, and the independence and liberty of their Church. But, alas I though boasting that tliey have with them the wealth and influence of the town, they were outdone in zeal and public spirit by the poor Chartists, who appeared on the day of sale backed with eight hundred pounds, while the poor Churchmen were not in a condition to appear at all ! The competition was keen, but the price exceeded the Chartists' idea of its value.—DAJ , dee Chronicle. THE ITALIAN OPERA.—There is at present a great dearth of good singers in Italy, and should any un toward event occur to break up the illustrious quartett coraprising Grisi, Rubini, Tamburini, and Lablache, which has so long sustained the Italian opera both in Lon don and at Paris, it does not seem that a worthy successor could be found at this moment to any one of them. Italy, instead of being, as formerly, the nursery ground of musi cal talent, appears to have become the receptacle for those whose period of blossom has passed, and who go to yield up,ineetthils. D and that produced is a it thist them, en , o t m hel t oastnre of em the a t n of their first teners, and Ronal do Begnis one of the first soprani in Italy, both of whom have long ago been voted obso lete by the dilettanti of the Haymarket. As the only . possible successor of Rubini, a young tenor named Marian' is spoken of, and even he, whose greatest triumph is in the final air of Lucia di Lammermoor, is so bad an actor as to place him in this respect infinitely b-. 3 low " the great European celebrity," whom he will have to follow. In basses Italy is more promising, for it boasts of Ronconi, Cartagenova, and Colletti, though the last of these, with all his great and admitted talent, gained little by the collision with Tamburini, into which eircum. stances, much against his own inclination, last sea , on brought him. Tamburini, we arc glad to say, there is no chance of our losing just yet, provided he and the directors of the Opera can come to terms, for he gives out to his private friends that he purposes singing eight years more before he retires finally into Italy. He has purchased a splendid hotel in Paris, the whole of which he has let on a lease of twenty years, excepting the stop story, which he reserves far his own residence. Bulieni, who when in London occupies a very unpretendin g first floor, is th e pro prietor of several Italian palaces. It must, however, be remembered that nearly every good sized house, though the basement story may be occupied by barbers and cobb lers, is a Palazzo in Italy. APPOINTMENT OF A MILITARY KNIGHT OF WINDSOR.—The appointment, on the lower founda_ tion, just rendered vacant by the decease of Captain Longford, will be presented by the Queen to Major Wathen, an officer of long standing, who has, in his time, " done the state some service," and who is now in his seventy-eighth year. The son of Major Wathen (then a captain, but now holding the rank of major in the 13th Light Dragoons) was brought before a court-mar tial some years since, when certain charges were alleged against him by Lord Brudenell, the present Earl of Cardigan. The result will be in the recollection of our readers. Captain Wathen was honourably acquitted; and Lord Brudenell immediately afterwards retired from the command of the regiment. MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS. (MONDAY EVENING.) TIMES. `MONDAY arc strong indications in the ac counts received this morning from Manchester of ex citement produced there by the late resolution of the Bank to restrict the term of bills discounted. It hap pens to have made its appearance at a period of the year when the traders of that part of the country re quire more than ordinary accommodation from their bankers, and when the printers have usually been drawn upon at four months for the goods they purchase or their processes from agents or manufacturers. This branch of trade, therefore, if a similar restriction is imrosed on the spot, must find its means at once ma terially cramped, and the influence of the measure on the export trade is also expected to become a very stringent one, so wide is the margin of credit usually taken in the transactions of Lancashire. It does not therefore follow that the measure itself is an improper one, for some good may be done always by checking long credits, which lead to speculation often, rather than to safe and wholesome business, arising out of supply and demand. But before this state of things can be arrived at much intermediate distress may be produced, and the general complaint will be, that which we have heard so often re peated within the last few years, the suddenness of the proceeding, and the uncertain vacillating character of all transactions of the Bank of England connected with the currency. It will require not one only, hilt a series of wise and judicious measures, to restore that confidence on the part of the trading commulty which past error s have destroyed. The lately pubVall . iial evidence of the tommittee on Banks of Issue has brought to light so much weakness and infirmity of purpose, such a total absence of all principle, and so utter a disregard of all ordinary rule and method, that men of business will long be incredulous in looking for good measures from such a source, whatever their present motive and meaning may be. What renders it more difficult for the Bank to bear up against that odium which they are sure to encounter whenever any period of embarrassment arises like the present, is their having yielded to that vice of all bank ing, but from which they as the conservators of the cur rency ought to have been free, in grasping at too large an amount of securities, which has been the main cause of all the commercial distress since the resumption of cash payments. Had they been contented with the same moderate limit which existed at that period, the best judges are of opin;on that our currency would have remained unshaken up to the present hour. At last and under correction, the Directors manifest something like a sense of right, but too late to regain public confidence, which must be again severely shaken even by the con sequence of the attempt they have just entered upon to place themselves once more in a right position. —We a re ena bl e d to state t h at a larg C e li LE r ß em ° it N ta i n C eefrOm the Bank of Lisbon, on account of the Government of Portugal, was received by this mail, to be applied to the payment of the dividends due on the foreign debt. There is no intention of having recourse to an issue of titulos, receivable on the Cus toms, although that has been stated by a Contempo rary. Such an operation would, indeed, be contrary to the law of Portugal, which prohibits any such an ticipation of the public revenues. Portugal was per fectly tranquil, and the state of her Majesty most sa tisfactory. Th e report of the Finance Committee of the Senate was to be discussed on the 13th instant, and no doubt was entertained of its being adopted by a large majority. We are inclined to infer, from some points of Mr. Webster's speech upon the currency, th at he had the Bank of France in view as the model from which the National Bank of the United St ates s h ou l d i n many respects be framed ; but the speech, as reported i n th e New York Herald, is evidently only a meagre outline, and it would be imprudent to draw direct conclusions from such imperfect data. This specimen of American state eloquence has, however, been carefully reported by one of the most accomplished stenographers in that country, revised by the accomplished speaker, and has been published in a separate and authentic form. Its impression on the assembled multitude when delivered seems to have been immense, and the anticipations of its efficacy appear to have been more than realized. The day was observed as one of full gala at New York. Every ship in port displayed its colours, and Wall-street was decorated with banners and streamers.

The excitement produced among the people of the federal union on the currency is immense. The adherents of the two candidates for the Presidential chair have contrived to make the question purely poli tical, and thus we see the democratic masses of America fully as much absorbed in the apparent discussion of an abstract intricate point of finance, as if their minds were agitated by some attempt to disturb their political rights and franchises. HERALD.—The papers by the British Queen steamer from New York, delivered in the City past business hours on Saturday evening, and whose arrival therefore could not be known in time for the article under this head, are only to the same date as those previously re ceived by the Britannia. A voluminous mass of in termediate papers however have now come to hand, which fill up the void of some twenty dais for which no advices had reached. The papers are however almost wholly occupied with the presidential election, now close at hand, respecting which as may be seen on re ference to the details and the correspondence in this morning's Herald the excitement is intense. The sin gularity of the affair is the pleasant imposture of the Van Buren party and their papers, that British gold and British influence are employed against them. Of sueh a ridiculous absurdity this country may be fairly absolved, since if the wish was to retain the union in a state of disorganisation, and consequently of impotence, money could not be more serviceably squandered than in e ndeavouring to keep the present men where they are. It must not be inferred from this that Mr. Van Buren is more unfriendly disposed towards this coun try than his opponents, but perhaps the reverse, but the fact is that each party is so little scrupulous about the means to accomplish its ends, that if the votes of an influential state were made contingent on a declaration of a war against this country, it may be assumed from what is now passing and has occurred, that the two parties would run a race wh ich shoul d bid highest and first in favour of a vigorous vvaron any p retext. So tar as either is concerned there is no British in terest at stake in this contest , and therefore, know ing the worst of the present men who govern it, it wou ld than their .p opponents. oliticfor i‘ir.

The vot ing commences the latter end of this month, and is to continue twenty days. The constitution provides that istransmitted a m o amount nt all the presidential electors m ust be chosen within 34 days next preceding the first i Wednesday in December. On that day they are to meet in the respective capitals of their States and declare t heir v f otes. of Congress and Two by special messenger.

The Bank Directors s hould, therefore,l be careful what faci lities they afford to the loan contracting interest. All effect of eneouraging,jobbing bonds. paper coming before them for the purpose of being dis counted should be looked at very suspiciously. With i u le eh less anxious about the Bank Alo reduced a stock of treasure, it would be a betrayal of their trust of the most unpardonable kind to do any thing persuasion of others. We ah dvWe pe t e h ac a ru t el could ,a thioosnv h rvi a e v r ,e foreignntl and the great capitalists than about that class of spe culators w ho have little to spare, and who are led into before they go into Turkish stock, to satisfy themselves that the dividends can and l w o h a h n id tr r a e n c s o a m et w io e n n s d b t i' lese, will be punctually discharged. The ability of Govern ments to pay their debts has been shown by the example of the South American states, Portugal, and others, to be no criterion by which foreigners can b e regu l ate d i n such matters. Where the integrity is notoriously want ing, it is folly to talk of the ability. On this point, with reference to Turkey, it is remarked in the latest cor respondence from the capital, that the Sultan dis covered a laudable zeal and activity, and would no doubt do much if he only knew how to set about it, and were " more faithfully seconded by his Ministers," but that many of these, " notwithstanding the new enact ments and the examples recently m4d.," are " ineorrivi bly corrupt." Instances are next given of gross disho nesty in their different departments. Much and de servedly, therefore, as the Turks are commended for the correctness of their dealings in private life, it would seem that, in a public capacity, even the most elevated of them arc entitled to no confidence whatever. The following extract of a letter, dated the 27th ult., as pub lished in the Morning Post of Saturday, gives an idea of what might be expected from them by a creditor at this distance : " Riza Paella, the Grand Chamberlain, has just been detected in trafficking illegally for army stores, having sold a monopoly for shoes and other accoutrements. A Councillor of State, also charged with the Commissariat, has been guilty of the grossest peculation, and the bread, under his auspices, has been so shamefully adulterated as to be almost uneatable. The young Sultan, who on the last field-day personally inspected the provisions of the soldiery, and discovered this malversation, sent for the offending functionary, and compelling him, much to his distaste, to swallow the bad bread, and thus, in Oriental phrase, eat dirt,' both physically and metaphorically, dis missed him from the service with ignominy." With these facts before them will our little capital ists run the risk of beggaring themselves by by sup porting a Turkish loan ? Let them turn over their South American, their Portuguese, and Spanish bonds, and reflect on the probable consequences of the act. SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY. (From the Times.) There is no doubt that the note of the Bth inst. from M. Thiers is at least a promising indication, if nothing more. A lowering of extravagant pretensions always diminishes one class of difficulties, because it tends to quiet the angry spirit of altercation. But there still are solid grounds of anxiety when we come to the ques tion of what measures are likely to be adopted, per mitted, or resented between the parties. The tone of their note may be unobjectionable,but what if the Govern men, of M. Thiers, under the name of securing " an an chorage" in the Mediterranean, should occupy with a squadron of French men-of-war the harbour of Candia or of Port Mahon : would such a step be held by any British statesman compatible with peaceful relations ? It is true that there did not arise naturally out of the Eastern question any cause or pretence of quarrel between Great Britain and the French Government. England, at least, never dreamt of one until France raised one, and then began to hector and threaten and scold because this country bad placed herself under engagements to perform, in concert with other Powers, certain acts which, without the slightest notion of in juring or insulting France, were deemed of common ex pediency for the peace of Europe. It was France first talked of war. It was France that first armed. But she " never could bring herself" to explain distinctly what it was she wanted to effect by war. To drop, however, the chapter of retrospections, it is agreed that, this quarrel shall terminate on the part of Turkey by a relinquishment of Egypt in lasting inheritance to the Pacha. But this has been run away with a little too fast, by construing it into a pledge, that let Mehemet act as perversely or as mischievously as he thinks fit, he shall under no circumstances be deprived of Egypt. Such a pledge on the part of Turkey and her Allies would be suicide. If, on being beaten out of Egypt (which, if the British Ministers have not been scandalously mean and feeble in the scale of their preparations, he must be with out difficulty or delay), Mehemet Ali should pervert Egypt into a battery for keeping up his fire against the Bri tish and the Turks in Syria, the Allied Powers are at once released from their engagement, and Egypt is for feited by reason of the hostile purposes to which the Pacha will have applied it. We trust, however, that he will bethink himself of this in time. The sole point which now remains to be touched upon is the new fashion of diplomacy (of what precise date we have no distinct recollection), according to which a Minister of the Foreign Department conceives himself at, liberty to treat of, and arrange, the most important questions litigated between adverse Governments, not through the medium of those written communications, which in business, public or private, are the only safe ones for the negotiator himself, and the only honest ones to wardlitke.,..V9Ler _which employs him, but by verbal intercourse alone. Mere gossip, mere passing sound,. which leaves no particle of trace behind it, thus usurps the place of enduring and unerring records, and opens the .INstr.to . innumerable and most irritating disagree reente,,,es well: as most unjust impressions. We need scarcely refer- byname to that example of a flat contradic tion. to a long series of statements by Lord Palmerston, on s u bj e c t , too (namely, the question of French con sistency or tergiversation), which had been raised into one of great magnitude by the parties themselves. France, we repeat, flatly contradicts the assertions, and defies the British Minister to bring proofs of their veracity ! Was ever public functionary in such a plight ? We, for our parts, put firm faith in the cor rectness of Lord Palmerston's statements, and have ground for belief that there is moral evidence acces sible which, in a court of honour, would fully bear him out. But where, my Lord, are your formal proofs? Where your official vouchers ? If not, you stand on record as a fabricator of proceedings which never had reality or substance, and deserve no credit with man kind. The fact is, that in the present case the biter seems to have been bitten. He spoke instead of wrote to escape the responsibility of adverse records produci ble against him. But there was another side to the table. He lost, by the necessary operation of the same expedient, the advantage of being able to adduce vouchers in his own behalf. Had Lord Palmerston insisted on M. Sebastiani noting down his propositions respecting a division of Syria in writing ; or had Lord Palmerston hiMself made notes of them, and then, sub mitting such notes to Sebastiani, required a written answer whether they were correct or not, all the trouble and distrust which have now arisen would have been completely averted. (From the Morning Herald.) The diplomatic information which we published yes terday, constitutes a new phase in the Thiers-Palmer. ston negotiations. The two redoubtable diplomatists, who are keeping all Europe in agitation and alarm, would, at a period when truly great men moved on the theatre of the world, be very insignificant personages indeed. What a practical illustration do these two political tricksters present, in the position which they occupy, and the attention which they attract, of the sort of wisdom and talent that is " competent" to ob tain an ascendancy in managing the affairs of nations in the nineteenth century—the boasted age of intellect! It is not long since Palmerston and his colleagues, and all the journals devoted to the service of the Whig Mi nistry, assured the public, over and over again, that the principle of loreign policy most conducive to the interests of England, the peace of the world, and the advance. ment of civilization, was that of a close and intimate alliance with France. So far did our Whig Ministers go in that respect, that they took very patiently more than one insult offered to our flag by the Government of Louis Philippe, which we thought and said ought to have been energetically resented, or amply atoned for. But dearer to the Whig Ministers is " the pre servation of the integrity" of the decrepid and perishing Ottoman empire than the vindication of English honour and the protection of English interests. But the Anglo- Gallic alliance, so skilfully manufactured by Whig po licy, has snapped asunder like a rope of sand. Brunow bas beaten Thiers, Nicholas has superseded Louis Phi lippe, and the absolutism of Russia has displaced the re volutionary dynasty of France in the affections of the Whig Government. Who could have supposed only a year or two since, that England and France would be seen to-day taking up an attitude so hostile, that the preserva tion of peace cannot be positively calculated on for a sin gle hour. When two next-door neighbours, who have lived for some time in seeming peace and amity, exchange the tones of friendly salutation for those of rancorous animosity, and not stopping at scolding bitterness of language, prepare deadly weapons to plunge in each other's hearts, it is time for those whose duty it is to prevent violence and bloodshed, to demand of them mutual securities of the peace; for when neighbours bear such feelings towards each other, there is no say ing how soon even an accidental collision may ripen wrath into action, and produce deplorable consequences. But where is the preventive police that shall compel France and England, if they be minded for war, to keep the peace. England has a weight of public debt about her neck, which particularly unfits her for the active and costly exertions of war. We recollect when Lord Brougham said that " the national debt bound Great Britain in a security of 800,000,000/. to keep the peace with all the world." He said that in aliusion to a mere defensive war. But who could have supposed that there could exist such folly, such madness, even in a Whig Administration, as to put this country in a position to encounter the risk of a European war, on the pre text of protecting the independence of the Ottoman empire against the ambition of one of its own vas sals ? If a war should unhappily result from the inter- Prence of our Government in the disputes between the Paella of Egypt and the Turkish Divan, it will in truth be the consequence of the most monstrous fatuity that ever aspired to the government of mankind. In such a war Great Britain would be inevitably dragged into the abyss which the insidious " friendship" of Russia has prepared for her—France would be so crippled as ' not to be able to offer any resistance to the insatiable ambition of the north for a long time to come—and the Ottoman power would be enchained for ever in the iron bonds of Russian protection. Let the common sense of the British public, withdrawing itself from the maze of verbose and shuffling diplomacy by which it is bewil dered, look at the origin of all the diplomatic jargon, hos tile threatening, and warlike preparations which keep the mind cf Europe on the stretch of an alarming excite ment. What was it ? A question whether Mehemet Ali was to be allowed or not to govern a portion of Syria, with " the holy cities of Arabia, which the Porte was and is wholly unable to govern." Such is the question which constitutes the cause of European another ex and possibly of European war. It is only excitement, emplification of the cutting truth of the sarcastic obser vation of the Chancellor of Sweden, " Go forth, my son, and see with how little vrisdora the world is governed." We should think that in this the fortieth year of the nineteenth century, the " little wisdom" to which Count Oxensteirn alluded has pretty nearly decreased to its minimum. If it were not so, it would be utterly im possible for such political pretenders as Lord Palmer ston and '1 hiers to kindle the flames of war with volumes of dull diplomacy, and to make England and France gird on the armour of battle to determine whether the Pacha of Egypt, or the Russianized Divan of Turkey, is to rule the Syrian desert, or regulate the pilgrimages of Arabia! (From the Morning Chronicle.) A short while ago we deemed it necessary, as did a considerable portion of the press, to remark on a very carious and significant article in the Quarterly Review, then just published, on Mr. Carlyle's work entitled Chartism. The article, indeed, was sure to attract attention, if only for the extravagance of that memor able passage so often quoted, in which the writer stig matises manufacturing speculation is gambling, and proposes to " restrain" it, suggests the desirableness of razing half the metropolis to the ground, and proposes to break up the population into little feudal colonies so small as to be conveniently placed under aristocratical and cleri cal government. • There are but twoplaces in the country, Bedlam and Oxford, where such a paragraph could be otherwise than startling. Being led by it to notice other features of the article, we found in it, besides great cleverness and much of a demoralizing, blas phemous, and even atheistical tendency, very distinct marks of a clerical origin, and of the identification of the writer (notwithstanding his individual extrava gances) with the High Church and ultra section of the Tory party. Of this, indeed, the appearance of his tirades in the Quarterly, and the greatly expressed sympathy of the Morning Post and Standard, were good external evidence. A writer, however, in the Times of Saturday, in a sort of shamefaced apology for the article in question, demurs to this identification, and even dares to treat it as a wilful perversion, and ca lumny. We shall therefore offer some independent evi denee on this point. A series of works is now in course of publication called the " Englishman's Library," of which the Rev. E. Churton and the Rev. W. Gresley are editors, and amongst the contributors are the two Rev. Messrs. Wilberforce, the Dean of Lichfield, the Bishop of Oxford's Chaplain, and the Rev. William Sewell, Fellow and Tutor of Exeter College, and Pro fessor of Moral Philosophy in the University of Ox ford. The last published volume is by the last men tioned author ; and is entitled " Christian Morals." We presume there can be no doubt about the fairness of taking this volume in evidence of the notions of a party, or the section of a party, in Church and State. The Oxford Professor of Moral Philosophy coincides with the Quarterly Reviewer in his fierce intolerance, representing even the external ceremonies of the Church as essential to salvation ; in his denunciation of " the crimes of the Reformation ;" in his hostility to the instruction of the people ; and in his claim of preternatural powers and divine right for the clergy, in the latter privilege graciously Conde scending to include the Monarchy when not in collision with its ecclesiastical superiors. What will any friend to good order say to the broad assertion that " Christianity was not promulgated to unite all men in one fraternity?" That there may be no mis take, we subjoin the Oxford Professor's own amplifica tion of this novel point in " Christian morals." " You hear in the present day much about love and charity, and mutual toleration ; that we should over look differences of opinion and think only on points of agreement ; that all men, however they vary in specula tire doctrines, are in harmony on the great fundamental truths of r eligion and morals ; that it is our duty to bind together, not to distract society ; that Christianity itself boasts as its chief merit that it preaches peace on earth and goodwill among men. I answer that it is false; that every Tee of these maxims is false, it not balanced by another Of a Very different nature; aye, and held in sub jection to it."—p. 102. After this, it is not surprising that in the new High Church and Tory school of " Christian morals," a dif ferent estimate should be formed of historical charac ters from that which has been generally received. Such principles obviously tend to generate a sympathy with, and taste for, the bigot and bloody persecutor, rather than the Protestant and popular Sovereign. " The time will come," opines the Oxford teacher of morals, " say modern historians (query what historians ? have the venomous reptiles already stained with their slime our country's annals ?) and say truly, when, com paratively, we shall venerate the character of Queen Mary and condemn that of Elizabeth 1" This chance of opinion, he predicts, will be brought about by the clergy, for whom he claims the moral infallibility of Him ' whose ministers he affirms they are. (From the Morning Advertiser.) We have shown already, in more than one article, the hollowness of the pretence, as a cause of war, that the honour of France had been insulted by her being lett out of the Treaty of July the 15th, for the settle ment of the Eastern question—we have proven that it was she who isolated herself from the allied Powers, parties to the Treaty, and not they from her—we have hinted at the designs which she might have in view in opposing herself to the disinterested objects of every other Power in Europe, and have pointed to the seizure, retention, and attempted colonization of Algeria, as a proof of the reliance that is to be placed upon her honour and promises ; but it remained for M. ' Thiers himself to justify the policy pursued by the English Government, and to bring forward principles of political morality and political action, such, we be lieve, as were never put forth before, except by Mehe met Ali himself. That " vassal Prince," as he is styled by France's Prime Minister, it might be politic to leave in the quiet possession of Egypt during his lifetime— nay, considerations of the same nature might induce, might conduce to the concession of a hereditary right in it ; but when it is asserted that because a Prince vassal has succeeded in establishing a firm rule in a certain por tion of the country, therefore he ought to be left in un disturbed rule over it, by whatever means he may have acquired it, we beg to tell M. Thiers that the adoption of such a doctrine is not only contrary to morality, but strikes at the very foundations of every existing Government and institution—nay, at the very rights of property it self; which, disguised how it may be, is the basis of ci vilization. We are by no means squeamish upon the subject of Sovereign rule, seeing that we live under a Government emanating from, and supported by, the supreme will of the people ; but a Government estab lished by the people is a totally different thing from a power forced upon them. In the one case, as in the revolution which seated Louis Philippe upon the throne, it is but the resumption of a legitimate authority—in the other it is either a tyranny in its purest form, or, as in the case of Mehemet Ali, a dowright robbery, the magnitude of which only has, by usage, not on any re cognised principle of political or moral justice, exempted it from the usual punishment inflicted on persons guilty of felony. (From the Morning Post.) The Ministerial Examiner feebly imitates the Minis terial Chronicle in au absurd attack upon the Tory party with reference to the war question. Nothing will serve these veracious journa ls but the assertion that the Tories rejoice at the p ros p ect of war, to and thattleydo all they can to caus e actual war place. they resent, We hope the public w ill not tail to mark and so far o as g cjouos be l e e c m odreeman notoriousd s, thi s t h rancorous that eoro_ the e fa rr l _soerhi,oso,d,.o farN oo:- they have had a n y o pp ortunity, and the 'Tory journals unanimously, have expressed as strongly as language can express it their utter repugnance to war upon such wretchedly foolish grounds as France has set up. No journals in England have d en o unced so earnestly as the Tory j ournals have done the war-breathing madness of the French commentaries upon public affairs. No journals have argued more continuously and patiently than they have done against the national wickedness of devastating Europe with slaughter, and interrupting the progress of industry and civilization, for the sake of a dispute about the sovereignty of Syria. And yet it is in the face of this notoriety —such is the mi serable party spleen of the Whig j ourna li sts—such their love of abusiveness and their hatred o f trut h —that they unite in crying out against rejoice have a boi in theprospect atn o e a of atil 11 e war par !

We will not imitate the conduct of the Whigs when a To-y Government had to guard the country from foreign em, , mirs. When the country is threatened from abroad the Tories are ever with the Crown, for upon the Crown is devolved the duty of de fending the country in such a case. CONDITION OF THE PEASANTRY OF ENGLAND. (FROM A CORRESPONDENT.) Let not ambition mock their useful toil, Tutir horn:Ay joys; and destiny obscure ; Nor grandeur hear with a disdainful smile The short and simple annals of the poor. The mental destitution of our rural districts proves how slowly knowledv advances ; for, notwithstanding the extraordinary exertions of the religionists and the moralists, of late years, to disseminate knowledge among the people, yet is there no visible effect of their laudable efforts apparent in the manners and conversation of the peasantry of this country. Situated as our agricultural labourers are, how is knowledge to be acquired by them ? Toil without intermission is their lot ! how is it likely they can have a relish for intellectual pursuits ? Or even possessing a taste for mental food, what means have they in their power for acquiring the same? Ere any extensive beneficial measures can be carried into operation, it is generally admitted that a great amount of knowledge should be imparted to the people. for Ignorance is the curse under which man labours— Knowledge must and will be his Redeemer. But how or when this knowledge will be communicated, I dare not attempt to predict. In the rural districts of this country the labourers are in a state of ignorance, such only as s u p ers titi on 00 4 engeAtler ; their bodies but ill fed, h",-'add dotted, are six days out of the seven sub jected to a dire species of physical slavery, whilst on the s:venth their minds arc rendered subservient to a species of mental slavery by In ing taught to repeat certain creeds, prayers, &c., of which the understanding . is entirely ignorant. The minds, the souls of the pessawry of England may be said emphatically to be in the keep ing of those individuals who desire rather to perpetuate ignorance than to disseminate knowledge. Toe ei rgy of this country Ice! deeply interested in from the people useful knowledge ; foil well I het koow that the longer they retard the progre,s of tie A B devoid of sectarian tinge among their flacks, t he,liie g oe will they be permitted to take to them,,eives the flec:-.e. The labours of England may be looked upon as the especial charges of the clergy of our established religion ; under their auspices have they been bred, born, baptized, educated, and matured ! what appearance do these same pupils of oar r.,•t. ; ,.y present ? What. character do these t roe HT- ciples of the Established Church assume ? Why just that appearance, and precisely that character their tutors, their pastors, intended they should present and assume, seeing that no system of teaching, both tempo ral and spiritual, is so well calculated to perpetuate that Church by which they are maintained in affluence. Under such a state of things t.he❑ we risk.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sir,---In one of your last numbers is an allusion made to the incorporation of a Company for the cultivation of Sugar in the East Indies. as it such was the only step whereby the scarcity of Sugars could be removed with out promoting the evils of slavery. Unacquainted with your exact sentiments on this question, I cannot help thinking that you are labouring under the same erroneous impression as many others on a subject so important to the comfort of our own population, and to the well-being of our relations with other countries ; for instance, in the paragraph above alluded to is the following " As a means of carrying out the abolition of slavery this is the best step yet taken. Sugar mast either be had from the slave states of Brazil, &c., or at still higher prices from our own West India Colonies, or we must go to beet-root like the French." So there is no remedy for the difficulty but that of going the "whole hog," and excluding the produce of slave labour. What a reflection on the common sense of the country. As if Sugar was the only article of slave labour consumed in it, and that almost evasy arti cle of common necessaries or of luxury, might not come under the same ban. En revile the East and West I ndia Sugar proprietors mast possess a more than common share of assurance to suppose that such a dose could be swallowed. Has it not been over and over again demonstrated that we could not exist as a manufacturing nation if we re jected the produce of slave labour? Is not our chief supply of cott.oa drawn from the slave States of Ame rical7lpi point, does Brazils f rooems ntoilte s ? I the a me s vs eo not o very yr cseuur;z Sugar rn u dppl thaty o what w f (i,s t fi o n b co more in ict to s the opr d (i fieult to swallow come here to be refined (I mean Ii zil Sugar), for the purpose of sending it out to her Me jesty's liege subjects in Canada, the West Indies ' or any where else that chooses to tak e it ? I n other words the colonists may cat as much slave S ugar as t h e ; please at a very cheap rate, whilst their poor half-starved brethren at home are nut allowed to touch it, save at monopoly prices What a burlesque on philanthropy or on practical legislation. Who will attempt to say that the age of monopoly is past, when a Com pany solicits fot Royal patrona,T to furnish an article that is teeming in other quarters, and ready to make up our deficient supply ? If the East Indies cannot produce an adequate quantity under the present unrestricted system, and with an open i nark.l, , any sane person su l ,pose that it ail be atiaitiett tiy the mere incorporation of a Company ? or, in other %lords, instituting an odious monopoly, to the disadvantage, probably, of hundreds of small planters in India. A direct allusion has beer, made to Brazil in this question, and it is only to be wished that the paess would take a little more trouble to inform themselves as to the real merits of the case. To say nothing of the absurdity of our admitting e,iton, coffee, and other articles from the Biazik wilieu are alt.() the produce of slave labour (coffee being only parifictl tram its cacti; stein by a voyage to the Cape), let us consider the po sition in which we stand with that immense country. The present estimated value of our exports to Brazil is five millions sterling, and our manufactures are re ceived on the most favourable footing there. It is only by an interchange of commodities that this trade can be kept up ; and the great staples of Brazil pro duction are Sugar, cotton, and coffee, but in some pro vinces the first-named article (Sug,a) greatly prepon derates ; for instance, the annual export of Sugar from Bahia is about 60,000 cases. Hitherto, such Sugars have been prohibited here, and the vent for them has been in the continental markets, thus giving to foreign ers all the advantage of the carriage, sale, wad con sumption of an article sent as returns for British account, for after all the value of such produce of slave-labour must find its way back to England, sheared only of the advantages which it is capable of affording to the shipping and to the commerce of the country. The time is aeon approaching when the Brazilian Government will take a lesson out of our book, and show us the folly of propping up particular in terests at the sacrifice of great national bmiefit , . They have long felt indignant at their Sugars being excluded from consumption here, but they have always under stood It was to protest the West India interests. Now the same object is sought for under the miserable plea of abolishing slavery. Suppose such a reason to have been given when the treaty was made with Brazil, would it have been tolerated ? There are many intelli gent Brazilians quite as much opposed to slavery as we twweccanuthe country are, and Cie time may come when they would gladly rid themselves of it ; but Brazil is not a country that can afford to give twenty millions in compensation monpy, and therefore time alone can remedy the evil with them. Our refusing or consenting to receive their Sugarsean not effect this vital question ; but the fordme doubtle ss in r duce them can, and will, produce, much irritation, an blow may to take retaliatory measures, by be struck to the relations productions, lose good customers for our manufacturin g thus afford to It remains to be seen wh o e f t t h h e e r and it also remains to be scent whether i n terests of the nation, large, the revenue, and thebes shadow, embodied o a groat ritries. are to be, sacrificed to a chimerical i which 0., selfish monopoly, sought under the reality of a g_r e a s s t p India i a Sugar Planters.
