This Insti tution is closed, but as the Surgeon of it feels assured that there are hundreds suffering under the diseases, to the cure of which it was especially devoted, who would gladly avail them selves of his professional assistance, rather than place them selves under the charge of chemists, or, worse still, have re course to any of the dangerous and inefficient nostrums daily advertised, he Las made arrangements to see patients at his own residence, at the mere expense to the patient of the neces sary medicine. Thus persons of limited means have now an opportunity of securing for themselves a mode of treatment that, whilst it is based on experience, is regulated by the pecu liarities whist) their own eases and constitutions may require; thereby freeing themselves from the absurdities and dangers that wait upon the employment of one kind of medicine for all forms of these diseases, without regard to these essential ;7artieultrs.

When Saxons, true to Heaven's command, Had cast out every British stain, ISg,bert the Great—in Union names ! , this land. Alfred—her Guardian Angel—taught this strain ; Hole * Engle-land—England rule the waves, Engle, or Englishmen, ne'er be, as Britons, slaves. * The Saxon or 'Old English words (which are still so pre served in all the other branches of the Teutonic language) for Angel-land—Angels ; not Angles ! nor Anglo-Saxons ! ! and most clearly not Britons ! ! ! whom our forefathers justly rooted out of the land—them and their language too ! as fully demon strated in the Angel, or English, Queen, sold by Aladdon and Co., No. 8, Leadenhall-street, price one shilling. By bringing forward two strictly analogous precedents--Ist, The Union of the Saxon Heptarchy, the Natives whereof have ever since been called Engle, Englishmen ; in Latin, Angli ; in French, Anglais. 2d. The Union of the Three Kingdoms, England, Wales, and Scotland, the natives since generally and vauntingly mis-called Britons among themselves, but still An gli and Anglais abroad. I have already shown, and now again hope to do so, that there can be no real Union with Iceland. until English, Welsh, Scotch, and Irish, are called by one name. Britons, or Great Britons it cannot be. Little Bri tons, as some pedants will have it, might be deemed an insult only next in degree to the Lyndhurst denunciation, " Aliens," forsooth. The great O'Connell himself, the Apostle of Peace and Goodwill, has endeavoured to get the name of West Bri ton adopted at a large public meeting, thereby showing his zeal for a real union—but there was no response—for why ? the name of Briton stands accurst by holy Mother Church in her• best days (see the Venerable Bede). The Scotch as well as Irish would object to " English" as a word having no meaning in their view but that of priority or tyranny. The Romans of the Eastern world, for 200 years after they had forgotten their mother tongue, upheld their Western Father-name ; but was it ever heard, 0, rare infatuation ! we still holding fast ourfa there' land, laws, langusge and religion—forgetting their pa triotic and appropriate Union name, glorify and magnify the name of Britons, a people extirpated by our fathers on ac count of their base treachery, and doubts exist whether a word of their language be known amongst us. Let us, then, as good men and true, once more unite in brotherhood, as was done so beneficially by our progenitors the Saxons, a thousand years ago, and take up the same honourable distinctive name, and be altogether Engle or ANGELS instead of devils one with another. ( See the Marquis of Westmeath's explanation in the House of Lords, 7th April, 1540.) To sum up all— Away with all falsehoods—Briton, Whig, and Tory, All names of Ignorance, of Malice, and Vain-Glory, Let Angel-name and Fame succeed—Hosanna ! Victoria ! The Dictionary or Supplement of the French Academy, just published, the only authority of the kind in which I have seen any explanation of the word Anglo- Saxons, says, " A name " given to the Saxons who established themselves in the " country now called Angle land, because the Angles were " one of their principal tribes ;"—a most illological deduc tion—for if any truth in the premises, they ought to have been called Saxonico-Angles or Saxon-Angles, for everybody knows that the people of this country have not once been called Angles at home ; indeed, it can al most be proved that there never were any Angles in England: it is no more our fault that the Latinists have translated the Saxon " Engle" into Angli and the French Anglaise, than that the Spanish, &c., call us Inglese, not one of them being a fair translation of the word, and the first, " Angli," a complete evasion of it. It is folly to suppose that the Saxons let the Latins change their national name to Angli, which they again translated into Engle, and so named themselves and their bravely•gotten land Engle-land : still greater folly when we look at the difference between the Latin Anglicanus and English. The first English falsifier of Engle into Angle, I believe to be the Hon. Daises Barrington, about 60 years ago, whence sprung up the new-fengled visionary word Anglo-Saxon. James the First, always reputed a good antiquarian, never dreamt of such a word, and still less that his subjects would ever be called by the base and barbarous name of Britons ; the natives of Brittany in France being so called in his day, but now changed into Bretons. Notwithstanding all this, it has been found that. a pseudonym is a better point of union than no name at all, or than such a word as A ninars. In the Monthly Magazine for October, 1839, I have written enough to show that the word Angel is a good name and much wanted in a religious as well as political sense, and that the word Protestant should never have been used as a re ligious sectarian name, particularly by the English ; indeed, all names that are anti- Scriptural, or not in conformity with the Scriptures, ought ?lOW to be discarded. St. Pahl com plains (1 Cor. c. i.v. 10, &c.) of divisions by every one calling themselves Paulians, Apollosians, Cephasians, Christians! Also (chap. iii. ver. 4) " While one saith, I am Paulian, &c , are ye not carnal ?" True, it is written, they were first called Christians at Antioch ; but. is it not to be gathered that it was by their adversaries and by way of contempt ? ( These self-same remarks apply to to the word Protestants. St. James says, c. 2, v. 7, "Do not they blaspheme that worthy name by which ye are called." It is plain that in early times they never called themselves Chris tiana, for St. Paul, when King Agrippa exclaimed, " Then almost persuadest me to be a Christian," Acts 26, Y. 28, with much solemnity avoids repeating the name, either because he felt that it partook of blasphemy, or that Agrippa had used it by way of contempt : indeed I do not know that the name be came favoured among men until Constantine erected the SYM 110L, "In hoc SIGNO vincere." The word too is now more generally understood to mean civilization. What man is he, who shall rightly say lam a Christian ? Say rather with humility, " The Lord knoweth them that are his; and let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity."— 2 Tirn., c. v. 19. See also how carefully the use of the word Christian is avoided in Acts, viii, v. 1 and 3 ; ix, v. 1 and .2 and 21: xiii., v. 43; xix., y. 23; xxii.,y. 4; xxvi., v. 9, 11; xxviii.,v, 14, 22, &c. &c. &c. Whereas, now-a-days—see Penny Cyclopaadia (St. Paul)—the word is introduced on every occasion. Can th e re verential Jew join a community which presumes to call itself by any name of God, to whom all glory and worship are due ? Wanted some respectable men to deliver handbills of this import—not to the poor—all their attention must be directed to get them bread; but, as the time is at hand, to the rich and great, to such as apparently can read, mark, learn—Revelations m il., v. 17—noting the rema: table discrepancy between tl:o heading of e.xix., v. 17, The fowls called to thegreat slaugh ter," and v. 17 in the text, " Come and gather yourselves together, unto the supper of the great God." - ANGELUS; in sole (in veritate, publice) stans, cult mans &c.

(see despatch of the 31st of January) in his engagement with the Volage and Hyacinth that he raised him to the third heaven. A letter from Ban - lean, dated February the Bth, states that Dust Mahomed had met with a very inhospitable re ception at the Court of Bokhara. His sons had attempted to escape, but had been recaptured and brought back, and all his followers sent off to Kooloum, in a wretched plight, destitute even of the common means of support. Juhbur Khan intended, it was said, to make overtures to the Bri tish on behalf of his brother. The winter was extremely cold on the confines of Affghanistan, and proved particu larly fatal to the Hindoostaness. All idea of a Tull:loan cantraiL 6 t had been given up. The Agra tliebar of the NI of March mentions, on the other hand, that our European troops in Cabul were suf fering severely from sickness. A large convoy, then en route to Jellalabad and Cabul, would, it was hoped, go far to re store them, as it curled a plentiful supply of provisions not procurable in the country. Letters from Bushire to the 20ili of Februavy mention that the ex-Goveri;or, Sheik Hussein, had commenced blockading the port of Bushire, in retaliation for hia late suppression by the Court of Shiraz.

An Imperial edict stas issued on the sth, declaring the Eng. lish to be outlawed, ordering the trade with our nation to be immediately and entirely stopped, and threatening the severest punishment to any other people who conveyed or disposed of English goods. This edict was issued in con sequence of her Majesty's ships Hyacinth and Voisge having commenced, as it is said, the horrors of war. Another Imperial edict applauded the valour displayed by Admiral Ewan and the officers and ships of war in the action with the Wage and the Hyacinth off Chumpee on the 3d of November last. The Emperor is h'ghly pleased with the conduct of the veteran'KwAn, who, according to his Majesty's edict, valiantly faced the enemy's fire, lean ing gracefully but boldly against the mast of his junk during the engagement. His Majesty promises the Ad miral that if in .six engagements (including the one at Cbumpec) against the English he is equally successful, be is to be raised six steps in rack, and Equal promotion is held out to other officers who shall, on six different occa sions, when fighting against the English be victorious. MI. Gribble was released .from•confinernent at Canton, on the 14th, and is expected to arrive outside in the no rms Coutts. Her Majesty's ships Yolage and Hyacinth are blockading the 'Bogue until, it is presumed, Mr. Grib- We's arrival there. Captains Smith and Elliot, when walking on sho:e one day near Chumpcc, wore nearly taken by a number of Chinese soldiers, had not their swift retreat and the guns from the Queen's cutter, bearing upon their pur• suers, saved them. - : It is very singular, but it is stated to be a fact, that the Commissioners sent to the frigates at the Bogue a present of beef and cabbages, which was not, however, aceepted. A remarkable edict had been issued from the Commis sioner and Hoppo, who, being disappointed at not being likely to get any duties from three American ships which had entered the port empty, caused the Hoppo to visit the ships in person, and finding that, though without cargo, the ships had not brought funds sufficient in dollars where withal to purchase a home cargo, these dollars are to be weighed by the Hoppo, and then to be deposited in the Consoo.house, the Hong merchants to act as treasurers to the Americans, that these vessels may take away no more cargo than they brought money to pay for. Two ships, the- Danske Konige and the Norden, that appear to have been sold by the English, and under Danish colours,. were seized ai Whampoa and confiscated, en the charge of their being still in reality English property.— Colombo Observer, March 9. INTELLIGENCE FROM BOKHARA. BONiDAY, MARCII 80.—The following is from a Ivtter dated Bamean, February the 18th : {. We are all quiet here. The King of Bukhara has still got Dost Mahomed under his thumb, and has cent, report says, 6,000 men to Kooloum, to fetch Jubbar Khan and the Dust's family ; but, at all events, a messenger has arrived at Tashkoorgaun ; and Jubbur Khan in a fright is sending to us one of his sons, accompanied by a son of the Wallee of Kooloure, and a son of Baba Beg from Heibuk, to make terms with us rather than submit to the tender mercies of the King of Bokhara. Ido not think we have now any chance of a campaign in Turkistan in spring, as was expected. It is very cold here. Thermometer daily 2 deg. above zero, but several sucerssive days we have had it 10 deg. below zero, which we found too cold for plea ' sure; however, we are in excellent health, and like the climate amazingly. Lieutenant Maule, of the artillery, was, we regret to say, very severely frostbitten, and in mach danger,— . ..Agra Ukbai-, March 19. DISTURBANCE IN BUNDELCUND. An express, from the political authorities in Bendel cund, arrived at Scepree on the 11th inst., direeting Scindia's reformed contingent to proceed with all possible haste to a fort called Jignah, in which certain turbulent Thakoors have taken shelter and openly defied the British agents. This hill fort is represented as being of consi derable strength, and from the circumstance of these chiefs having shown every determination to resist at all hazards, there is every probability that the fort will hold out until the guns and howitzers of the contingent have made a proper impression on it. We understand that the Bundelcund legion had a skirmish, and drove off a large body of men armed with matchlocks. The contingent marched on the 12th inst., the day Bri gadiee AEquetel was expected at Seeprce. ARRACAN. A few days ago we published a pi ece o f i n t e lli gence de rived from a correspondent in Arracan to the effect that the Burmese were stockading upon o ur side of the line of demarcation. The following l e tt e r, r e ceived yesterday, gives some farther information upon the subject, and gill:s the affair of its warlike character:— " ARRACAN, Fin. 8, 1840. Have just seen a letter 'from an officer who has visited the post of Alyce and made particular inquiries, with the native officer's report, anent the Burmese being building a stockade on our side the mountains. The report, like many others given in by the natives, is found to be an exaggeration. It is true that certain subjects of the Golden Empire were on our side the boundary cutting timber, but it has not turned out equally correct that said timber was then and there fa shioned into the beams of a stockade, though for what purpose the men were cutting timber has not been ex plained. Now, though the Indian Governmeat may not, and certainly does not, require this timber forits own particular wants at this present time , yet it is no less certain that the i Burmese ' hewers of wood' have not a shadow of right to trespass on the domains of their too unsusceptible neigh bours, and do havoc on the forest without so much as saying, by ycur .6 Again, the motive the Burmese may have for cutting this timber remains a mystery ; that the timber is required for transport does not appear probable, since the road is a mere mountain tract, and carriage out of the quest i on ; if , t h e refore, they do not intend building a stockade on the pass , I cannot conee.ve what use they intend making of the timber ; it cannot be supposed men would labour without an Ojeet in view."

A cese of great importance was yesterday determined in the Supremo COuit,'" Remsabuch Muilick se De Souza,•' in which a grave question relating to the recent opium proceedings in China was, for the first time, d!.. reedy raised. This action was brought by the consignors of opium against the defendants upon a contract to gua rantee the sate return of the proceeds ; anti the defence set up was, that the opium in question had been surren dered to one Charles Elliot, the :British Superintendent (whose powers were fully set forth in the plea) under and by virtue of a proclamation demanding the surrender, in the name of her Majesty and the British Government. The question was, whether this defence (the facts being admitted) constituted a valid and sufficient excuse in law for the non-performance of the express contract. The Court admitted that if the Superintendent had ap peared distinctly to have been acting within the scope of the powers with which he was invested by statute, an act of obedience on the part of a British subject would have excused the performance of a prior contract with which that obedience would have been incompatible. But the Court were of opinion that, as it appeared on the face of the pleadings that the Commissioner was acting under the constraint of a foreign power (for the Proclamation itself was set out in the pica), he could not be considered to be acti.lg in pursuance of the powers vested in him, and that obedience, therefore, was not compulsory, end furnished no defence. The Proclamation was in effect, in the opinion of the Court, an act of the Chinese, not of the Britisb Government, as the acts of the representative of the British Government, while in'personal dutesFe, could not be deemed the acts of the Government which he re presented. We understand that there are other questions of fact to be tried in this c2sc, and, as the amount involved is consi derable, there n iii, probably, be ultimately an appeal to the Privy Council. We believe, too, that there are several nearly similar cases, in which the parties have been "rest ing on their Oars," unt'l the decision in the present ca , e should show e• how tb, land lies." It the same view should be taken by the British Go vernment and the House of Commons of the binding power and effieley cl Captain Elliot's " proclamations," hat becore:.s of the cl.airns of indemnity put forth by the merchants who have surrendered their opium and look to Government to foltil the engagements of their representa tive ? We shall take an early opportunity of considering this tpvcion of the application or the law of duresse. We regret to find, after all that has been said upon the std .ct of the length of time occupied by the dak between Calcutta and 13,nnbay, the force of prejudice is still so strong at the former presidency that in the Bombay Tlinev of the 7th instant it is asserted, in answer to the argument in favour of a steam communication front Calcutta to Suez, that " packets have been conveyed between Calcutta and Bombay in seven days and a few hours, and from Madras to Bombay in eve days and seven hours." The proper answer to this assertion is, to repeat it with due adaptation to what has also happened—that is to say, " packets have been conveyed between Bombay and Calcutta in twenty dais." The fair way of stating the matter then iF, not to talle the instance of the Most rapid or most tardy con veyance of the dak ; but to take the average throughout the year, which ma - , be calculated at 11 or 12 days.— , Bengal Hurkurn, March 19. ( From the Bombay Press, March 28. ) BOMBAY PRICE CURRENT AND ►IERCANTILE REGhTER. During the last month the INloharem and Holke Festi vals have interfered with business. We have no imp.ove meta to report in our market generally, nor do we expect now to see any favourable change until after next rains. The accounts from China received yesterday, up to the 20th of January, report the seizure of two vessels at Whampoa by the Chinese, on the plea that they had brought up goods belonging to the English. The Emperor had con firmed all the acts of the High Commissioner against the English, so we must new consider the trade with China closed until the results of the present expedition are seen. The English men•of-war were blockading the Canton river. COUNTRY PRODUCE. Cotton.—Our staple has not come down so largely as expected, and this season's import of new at this period is far short of former ones.

Nothing has yet been done in the new crop in the way of contracts. INDlGO.—Prices have been steady since our last, but the market continues without animation; the amount of busi ness done comprises a few parcels of ordinary to good Southward at 1 rupee 10k anas, to 1 rupee 1 I arias per pound, and Kurpah, of mixed quality, from 44 to 45 ru pees per maund, Scomt —A small impartation of fine Siam realized— soft, 3i rupees, and candied 1.)71 rupees per candy.

MONEY MARKET, SOVEREIONS.—Scarce; prices rate from 10 rupees 5 sou to 10 rupees 6 suns each. It will be seen by the memorandum undernoted, that the exports of the last twelve months are less than those of the previous veer by about 13,000 mds. • COTTON. —We have heard of no transactions in this staple, but when the new crop comes in we expect to see prices at such low rates as will induce shipments to Great Britain, as in the preFent state of our warlike operations with China parties arc not likely to purchase for that. market.

NIONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS. TUESDAY EVENING. TIM E S.—The recess bring over, and thelistings adze Select Committee on the currency resumed, attention is again very generally directed to that subject. Among the witnesses now under examination, or likely to be so shortly, is Mr. Richard Page, who, under the signature of t‘ Daniel Hardeastle," has put forth more fearless, inde pendent, and sound writing on that difficult question t b aa any man of the present day, and it it a credit to the Corn- naittce, so far as that circumstance goer, to have called for his testimony. There is some stir, it appears, among the private country Ire,kers, in conn ex i on w i t h his inquiry, caused by their having received notices from the Office of Stamps and Taxes to render weekly returns of their issues for the last seven years. Against the right 4 calling for such returns many of them have protested.. but have agreed nevertheless to furnish theta, being desirous of giving all the assistance in their power to the inquiry cow going on. It is affirmed in some quarters, though rather rashly, as it would seem, in so early a period of the investigation, that a majority of the committee are in favour of a single bulk, or source of the issue of notes, for the whole of the United King, thorn. Even the suspicion, however, of such a bias es, their part, has sufficed to put the Scotch Banks on the alert, and it is affirmed that the whole of them, with the exception of the Royal Bank of Scotland, are prepared to resist any measure of that kind. The principal officer of that institution, it is said, is now in London, and prepared to advocate before the Committee the policy of a single source of issue. The others - can only regard it as a destruction to that system wider which they hare thrivea, and taxed the industry of the country for so waxy years, and they are attempting consequently, not only to support their own case, hut to impugn befor:hand the testimony of the manager of the Royal Back, by alleging interested motives and a desire to secure for his, bank the as;eacy in Scotland for the notes so issued and cir culated. These facts, when known, will create a lively in terest in connexion with the inquiry all over the country. The natural interest of the inquiry is much increased by the no:ion which prevails pretty geuerally, that the (pleat tion of the currency will be finally disposed of by it. That: will probably be the case if the decision is what the tradirg community expect and desire, but not otherwise. They will persevere until their object is attained. There is at length a reaction to the long-contint od or e citement in the Share-market, and the prices of all the lines are affected more or less. Great Westent are at 21 : to 3 premium, a fail of about 2 since yesterday. South. Western have fallen to 51 to 2 por share; Blackwell to 1 premium; Brighton to qto 4- discount. Even Bir mingham, which had become too heavy to share in the rise during the late excitement, have slightly participated iza. the reaction, and left vii' at 73 to 5 prem.
