POOLOO'S CHINESE CEMENT.—The extraordinary properties of this Composition make it one of the most useful articles ever presented to the public. It is perfectly impervious to hot or cold water, and will resist the effects of the most intense heat. So tenacious and firm is it in its hold, that a new fracture is almost certain to take place rather than a severance in the original. Thus its utility sur passes all other cements for the fixing and mending of china, glasr, and ivory, the setting of stones and beads in rings and trinkets, &c. old wholesale and retail, in bottles, at Is. 64., 2s. 6d., 4s. 6d., and is. 6d., by the Proprietor's sole Agents, Blofeld, and Co., Cutlers and Razor-makers, 6, Middle-row, row, n ; and. by their appointment, at the principal Chemists Perfumers. " Nocet emlta dolore voluptat."—H OR. FOR the greatest ameliorations of civilized life, we are indebted to the modern division of attention and labour in the various pursuits of society, and in none have its , benefits been so manifest as in the healing art. Early convinced of this great truth, Messrs GOSS and Co., Members of the Royal College of Surgeons in London, have for twenty-five years confined their attention to the successful treatment of a few prevalent complaints—viz., the general and local debilities of both the sexes, whether arising from the solitary indulgence which atoo highly inflamed imagination brings like a destroying fiend over the constitution, the mind, and the affections of youth ; or from a long residence in hot climates, excessive drinking, or any other baneful indulgence ; and from their daily experience they can with confidence offer a restoration of the debilitated to vigorous health. Married females of a pure and affectionate disposition, whose " fondest hope" has been pain fully deferred, may learn with consolation that perseverance in a proper remedial course, will renovate general health, and re mov3 hidden impediments to maternal happiness. An insidious disorder, however inveterate, as also Gonnor rhcea, Gleet, and Stricture, may be removed without material restraint in diet or exercise. Messrs, GOSS and Co. are to be consulted every day at their residence ; and Patients in the remotest part of the country can be treated successfully on transmitting their report, which will be immediately answered ; their letters must mi nutely describe the case, and contain a remittance for Advice and Medicine, which can be forwarded to any part of the world, however distant. —No difficulty can occur, as the Medicines will be securely packeGdOSS and Co.

Generative debility, Gonorrhoea, and Strictures of the Urethra, unhappily so preva ent, are reated upon those unerring principles which have in sured to Messrs.

They are told that the most vigorous and successful of the manufac tures on the Continent have grown, not out of peculiar favour shown to them by legislation, but from those natural and spontaneous advantages ' which are asso ciated w,th labour and captital in certain localities, and which cannot be traesferred elsewhere at the man date of the Legislature, or at the will of the manufac turer. 'Your Committee see reason to believe, that the most prosperous fabrics are those which flourish without the aid of special favours. It has been stated to your Committee that the Legislation of Great Bri tain, whenever it is hostile to the introduction of foreign commodities, is invariably urged by the foreign States that produce such commodities, as a ground and a sanction for laws being passed by them hostile to the introduction of products of British industry ; and while, on the one hand, there is reason to believe that the liberalising the tariffs of Great Britain would lead to similar favourable changes in the tariffs of other nations, so it is seriously to be apprehended that a persistance in our illiberal and exclusive policy will bring with it increased imposts on, if not prohibitions against, the products of British labour being admitted to other countries. With reference to the influence of the protective sys tem upon wages, and on the condition of the labourer, your Committee have to observe, that as the pressure of foreign competition is heaviest on those articles in the producticn of which the rate of wages is lowest, so it is obvious, in a country exporting so largely as England does, that other advantages may mere than compen sate for an apparent advantage ia , the, money price of labour. The countries:ineivitich the rate of wages is lowest are not always those which manufacture most successfully ; and your Committee are persuaded that the best service that could be rendered to the indus trious classes of the community, would be to extend the field of labour, and of demand for labour, by an exten sion of our commerce ; and that the supplanting the present system of protection and prohibition, by a mo derate tariff, would encourage and multiply most bene ficially for the State and for the people our commercial transactions. Your Committee further recommend, that as speedily as possible the whole system of differential duties and of all restrictions should be reconsidered, and that a change therein be effected in such a manner that existing in terests may suffer as little as possible in the transition to a more liberal and equitable state of things. Y our Com mittee is persuaded that the difficulties of modifying the discriminating duties which favour the introduction of British colonial articles would be very much abated, if the colonies were themselves allowed the benefits of free trade with all the world. Although, owing to the period of the Session at which the inquiry was begun, your Committee have not been able to embrace all the several branches which come within the scope of their instructions, they have thought themselves warranted in reporting their strong conviction of the necessity of an immediate change in the import duties of the kingchm ; and should Parlia ment sanction the siews which your Committee enter tain on these most important matters, they are per suaded that by imposts on a small number of those articles which are now most productive, the amount of each impost being carefully considered with a view to the greatest consumption of the article, and thereby the greatest receipt to the Customs, no loss would occur to the revenue, but, on the contrary, a consider able augmentation might be confidently anticipated. The simplification they recommend would not only vastly facilitate the transactions of commerce, and thereby benefit the revenue, but would at the same time greatly diminish the cost of collection. remove multitudinous sources of complaint and vexation, and give an example to the world at large, which, emanating from a community distinguished above all others for its capital, its enterprise, its intelligence, and the extent of its trading relations could not but produce the hap piest effects ; and consolidate the great interests of peace and commerce by associating them intimately and permanently with the prosperity of the whole family of nations.

The Work which is now presented to the public is the result of very extended experience in a class of diseases and affec tsoi.s, which for some unaccountable reason have been either altogether overlooked, or treated with apathy, and almost in difference, by the ci dinary practitioner. Te enter into the details of these affections, to point out their causes, and to mark the terrific consequences, social, moral, and physical, which are sure to follow from indulgence, in certain habits, would be entirely out of place in an advertisement. We have no hesitation, however, in saying that there is no member of society, by whom the book will nut he found irrteresting, whe ther we consider such person t• hold the relation of a PA RENT, a PRECEPTOR, or a CLERGYMAN. The PARENT, who beholds his beloved child pining away, and fast approaching to a premature grave., in consequence of some disease, which for want of a careful investigation ef its real cause, has been set down to the score of consumption, will, on perusing this work be astonished to find that in nine tenths of the cases of young persons of both sexes, who perish of what is called pulmonary consumption, heart disease, tabes, &c., the sole and exclusive origin has been the indulgence in certain destructive habits, practised by youth much more fre quently than is at all suspected. The PRECEPTOR, also, who holds temporarily, at least the relation and responsibility of a parent, will, by perusing this work, be directed, and very much assisted in investigating and detecting the too often concealed practices so often introduced into schools, whereby the health and ultimately the lives of his pupils are sure to be compromised, unless the evil be checked in proper time. He will here find a clue to guide him through t w h h e e i r n e t b r y ica t t a e j m u d a g z e e , is wo hey this e i. sahnodulda astandard o 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 con centrated 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 Le enabled to point out the disastrous consequences which are sure to fellow from them, if not relinquished.

Drake, bearing the flag of Rear-Admiral Sir John Om maney, K.C.8., went out of harbour on Monday. It is customary at all titles for many persons to congregate on the Platform when a three-decker leaves the har bour, for such an occurrence is somewhat rare ; but the events connected with the necessity of reinforcing our. squadron in the Mediterranean, and the contemplation that this noble ship may be called upon to take part in those measures already so gallantly begun, imparted additional interest to the Britannia leaving the harbour - ; and on this occasion, therefore, the Platform and ram parts were crowded with spectators. When the Bri tannia came abreast of the Platform, at eleven o'clock, the hour at which the troops appointed for the day's about 80,000/. collected upon 531 other - - - duty are inspected prior to their marching off to their articles, and excluding 147 articl,s, respective guards, the commanding officer ordered upon which an excess of drawback of the troops to pile their arms and mount the 5 3981 was allowed, produced the total ' ramparts.

In comparing it with the weekly deaths in 1840, it must be borne in mind that the metropolis in creases nearly two per cent. annually ; and that, if the population had been the same in 1838 as in 1840, the deaths part more numerous.

Slade is well known as a pe, destrian of the first order, and has accomplished grea feats. Nelson may be considered a novice; he is a gentle man's servant, who has done two or three private wagers satisfactorily. Indeed, the fact of his being matched against Slade speaks volumes in favour of his pedestrian acquirements. A great number of sporting men assem bled by half-past three o'clock, and at four the start took place; betting being 6 to 4 on Slade. On the signal b e ing given Slade took the lead, his opponent being a yard behind him. At half the distance he was still the same length in advance and maintained it. Slade won read by two yards, accomplishing th e distance in eleven secon ds In allusion to the refus al b y the Governme nt of the memorializing hop - g r o wer's request to be allowed the e ee th t er an class other, as they are already of tax-paye rs , and they use of the public money , the .Kent Herald rem ar k s that few of the planters will be disa p pointed at this res ult.... they favoured could beyondhardly anyexp failure of the crop in 1840 has little relation to the duty imposed for the crop of 1839.

IMPORT DUTIES, Report of the Select Committee appointed to inquire into the several Duties levied on Imports into the United Kingdom, and how far those Duties are for Protection to similar Articles, the Produce or Ma nufacture of this Country, or of the British Posses sions abroad, or whether tie Duties are for the pur poses of Revenue alone, and to whom several peti tions were referred, and who were empowered to re port the Miutcs of Evidence taken before them to the House, have considered the matters to them re ferred, and agreed to the following Report : The evidence is of so valuable a character, that your Committee could hardly do justice to it in detail, unless they were to proceed, step by step, to a complete ana lysis, which the advanced period of the Session will not allow them to do. They must, therefore, confine them selves to reporting the general impressions they have received, and submit the evidence to the serious consi'le ration of the House, persuaded that it cannot be atten tively examined without producing a strong conviction that important changes are urgently required in our Custom-house legislation. The tariff of the United Kingdom presents neither congruity nor unity of purpose . ; no general principles seem to have been applied. The Schedule to the Act 3 and 4 Will. 4, c. 56, for consolidating the Customs duties enumerates no fewer than 1,150 different rates of duty chargeable on imported articles, all other commodities paying duty as unenume rated ; and very few of such rates appear to have been determined by any recognised standard, and it would be difficult for any person unacquainted with the details of the tariff' to estimate the probable amount of duty to which any given commodity would - be - funadwubjeeted. There are cases where the duties levied are simple and comprehensive ; others, where they fall into details both vexatious and embarrassing. The tariff often aims at incompatible ends; the duties are sometimes meant to be both productive of revenue and for protective objects, which are frequently incon sistent with each other; hence they sometimes operate to the complete exclusion of foreign produce, and in so far no revenue can of course be received ; and sometimes when the duty is inordinately high, the amount of reve nue becomes in consequence trifling. They do not make the receipt of revenue the main consideration, but allow that primary object of fiscal regulations to be thwarted by an attempt to protect a great variety of particular interests, at the expense of the revenue, and of the commercial intercourse with other countries. Whilst the tariff has been made subordinate to many producing interests at home, by the sacrifice of revenue in order to support these interests, the same principle cf preference is largely applied, by the various discrimina tory duties, to the produce of our colonies, by which ex clusive advantages arc given to the colonial interests at the expense of the mother country. Your Committee would refer to the evidence respecting the articles of sugar and coffee, as examples of the operation of these protective duties. Your Committee refer to a general account prepared by the inspector of imports of the several articles im ported into the United Kingdom in 1838-39, stating in separate columns the quantity imported, exported, and retained for home consumption, with the rates of duty chargeable on each, and whether in a raw state, par tially manufactured, or manufactured ; by which it appears that 862 articles are divided into eight schedules, which they submit to the serious consideration of the House, viz.— Schedule 1, containing 349 articles, producing less than 1001. each of Customs duty, and in the aggregate, total 8,050/. Schedule 2, containing; 132 articles, producing from 100/. to 5001. each, total 31,6291. Schedule 3, containing 45 articles, producing from 500/. to 1,0001. each, total 32,0661. Schedule 4, containing 107 articles, producing from 1,000/. to 5,0001. each, total 244,7331. Schedule 5, containing 63 articles, producing from 5,000/, to 100,0001. each, total 1,397,324/. Schedule 6, containing 10 articles, producing from 100,000/. to 500,000/. each, total 1,838,630/. Schedule 7, containing 9 articles, producing from 500,0001. each and upwards, total 18,575,074/. Schedu'e 8, containing 147 articles, on which no duty has been received, but on which there has been an ex cess of drawback of 5,398/. It appears from the evidence of Mr. Porter, of the Board of Trade, that the total amount of Customs Re venue received in the United Kingdom in the year ending January, 1840, was 22,962,6101., of which total araount,l7 articles, each producing more than 100,000/., produced 94i per cent., or £21,700,630 That 29 articles produced 3 9.loths per cent., or 898,66 And that these- 46 articles produced 98 2-stha per cent., or 22,599,291 That all other articles, amounting to 144 in number, produced I 3-I:iths per cent. or 363,319 Showing that 190 articles, exclusive of EVENING EDITION'.

PLYMOUTH, OCT. 17.—Her Majesty's steamer Rha damanthus, Captain Wakefield, arrived here last even ing (Friday) from Malta, with invalids from the hos pital and Ceylon receiving ship. She left Malta on the 7th inst. ; her Majesty's ship Vanguard left 'te is:and some days before for the eastward, and her majesty's ship Rodney had arrived on the 4th inst. at Gibraltar, proceeding on her voyage the following day. lthe City of Dublin arrived at Gibraltar on the 7,11 inst., and sailed the same day for Malta. She will be employed in carrying the mails between the lonian Islands and Malta. The R'aadamanthus spoke, on the evening of the 14th inst., in lat. 46 deg. 58 min., and lon. 8 deg. 24 min., an English schooner, No. 638, bound for Naples. and yesterday morning (Friday) the American ship Montreal, bound up Channel. The Rhadamanthus brings no news of public importance, in addition to that wbiehilasalres4Ml4ed.this,country by otberchannels. Her Majesty's sbfoSt. Giorge i tneringethin dmppe i , ' was taken out of dock on Monday, and is to be fitted for the Ordinary. Her Maje sty's ship Calcutta, 84, Capt. Sir S. Raberts, went out of harbour into the Sound on Tuesday. Her Majesty's ship Rodney, 92, Captain R. Mann sell, arrived at G;b.-altar, all well, on the 2Gth Septem ' ber, and sailed again on the 28th, to join the fleet. Her Majesty's brig Savage, 10, was towed out of harbour by the Carron, on Saturday ; her crew was paid waves on Monday. The Savage sailed on Thurs day for Liverpool, for volunteer seamen. - Her Majesty's ship Inconstant,36, Captain D. Pring, is to come into harbour, and her crew, it is reported, is to be turned over to the Bambay, 84. Her Majesty's ship Britannia, 120, Captain J. D ra k e , will cal here, from Portsmouth, on her way to the Me diterranean. Her Majesty's ships Royal Adelaide, 104, and Cla. rence, 84, are being fined for commission immediately.

In the Sound—Calcutta, S 4, Captain Sir S. Roberts ; Inconstant, 36, Captai❑ D. Prim;. Her Majesty's ship Druid, 44.—The crew of this ship excites considerable attention in the China Seas ; they are all picked men, and almost the finest set of fellows in the English fleet. To maintain a character correspondent with the designation of the ship, they are dressed as Druidically as may be, with fine flowing beards; sweeping i in many cases, down almost to the waist. They had been actively practised, about the fining of May, near Macao, in the use of heavy guns on shore, the firing being so arranged that the round shot could be recovered after the exercise was over. Several of the mandarins ventured to examine the shot thus discharged:; they took up the cannon balls and c irefully , weighed them with their hands, and so far as could be judged from the shaking of their heads,: n 1 6e dismay pictured in their Lees, seemed to consider them as very formidable missiles indeed, which they woald much rather examine in their quiescent, than er.caunter in their projectile condition. Her Majesty's sloop Childers, 16, Com. E. P • Halstead, took us by surprise on Sunday afternoon, by coming up to town without any previous notification of her being in the river having reached us. She is from Calcutta, and brings post-office packets up to the com mencement of the present month. We have not heard what is to be her next destination, and believe she tends to remain here some time.

( From the Manchester Advertiser) MANCHE' STEIL—TO give even a faint idea of the continued depression and derangement of commerce in this district would be a difficult task. We did hope that the gloomy accounts we have been forced, week after week, to record, could not be worse ; but we may vv:th troll, say, that it would be impossible to name a corresponding week or month equally flat, gloomy, and dispiriting. We deeply regret to say that, since our last report, goods and yarns have been even more (hill cult to sell, and prices of most kinds of goods have again declined. The manufacturers and spinners are becoming embittered and desperate, and rack their brains to devise means of extricating themselves front the pending storm ; but instead of having recoutise to the only remedy left—viz., a curtailment of their pro duc:ion, some have, and others are attempting to reduce the wages of both weavers and spinners, if the work people do submit—and submit we fear they must—the reduction will he general ; and the consequenc e will be, ' that the hard-earn; d pittance of the hands will be lens, without the manufacturers being benefited one whit, unless we believe implicitly the doctrines promulgated by tile Corn-law repealers—that wages must be reduced here to enable us to compete with foreigners. About 10,000 to P 2.000 people are out of employ in Blackburn and its vicinity, in consequence of the mas ters wishing to reduce the wages of their hands (ot all that receive above 9s. weekly ten per cent. The hands consented to submit to five, but the master; ultimatum was ii i , to which the hands would not agree, and the result is that all the mills are standing ; but what is worse, the people, if not starving, arc merely existing. Perhaps never in the memory of the oldest man was the trade in this district in so critical and (dunning a state. I'ae winter approaching, with thousands unemployed, money more scarce than ever, the exchanges not, im proved, the revenue deficient, even with the new taxes imposed ; our foreign affairs in an unsettled state ; tal kies in every distri2t, more compositions than were ever before known, and confidence consequently low as to the future. The reckless conduct of the Joint- Stock Banks in 1535 and 1836, the consequent gambling in worse than Swan River speculations, are now deeply felt by hundreds of people ; the sudden deaths, the frequent forgeries, embarrassments and embezzlements. th.st we hear of every day, are but the result or effect of these speculations. We are sorry to say that stocks of all sorts of g oo d s and yarns arc accumulating; and should the eastern question remain in abeyance, and the blockades on the South American coast continue, to which we must add the expiration of the shipping of yarns to Russia, it it quite certain that spinners and manufacturers will be a iVell to work short time, or the market will be glutted, writes will be lower, and ruin inevitable. At the early part of the week, money in London was more scarce than when the discounts were at the highest pitch, and ntis since e nt P r a i s n a y pasted a lls l t e ra; six per cent. was given for discounting good b i ll s , b ut, the dividends being paid it was rather eas i er.
