" These works evince great professional- and scientific ta lent."—Oxford Chronicle, April 11, 1840. • " A successful mode of treating diseases so formidable, so fatal, and so common as Dropsy and Consumption, which assail the human frame from so many, and frequently from such opposite causes, must obviously be an inestimable benefit to mankind. There is scarcely a disease to which flesh is heir that may not terminate either in Dropsy or Consumption, from the simple cold, which inflames the mucous membrane, and obstructs the seerctions of the body, to the more appalling aneurism or ossi fication. From an enemy, therefore, that threatens from so many quarters, and lurks in such complicated ambush, all men have been anxious t-) be delivered ; but hitherto their wishes have been , disappointed. Dr. Bright details, step by step, his mode of dealing.with Dropsy and Consumption, the IVledicines be exhibits, and gives many actual cases of patients suredaftet; they had been given up by emine n t m em b ers of his profession. —London Conservative Journal, Jan. 4, 1840. lust published, in royal 18mo., cloth, price 33. ; and sent in Town or Country free, by post, 3s. 6d., ,ATANHOOD: the CAUSES of its PRE .e—VIL MATURE DECLINE, with Plain Directions for ITS PERFECT RESTORATION; addressed to thoEc suf fering from the destructive effects of Excessive Indulgence, Solitary Habits, or Infection ; followed by Observations on the TREATMENT of SYPHILIS, GONORRHCEA, GLEET, &e.

To enter into the details of these affections, to point out their causes, and to mark the terrific consequences, social, moral, and physical, which are sure to follow from indulgence, in certain habits, would be entirely out of place in an advertisement. We have no hesitation, however, in saying that;there is no member of society, by whom the book will not be found interesting, whe ther we consider such person to 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 of 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 esponsibilit . y 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 the intricate mazes of this moral labyrinth, and a standard whereby to judge, when delicacy of healtk 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 charact,r, is at once concentrated the twofold relation cf 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 follow from them, if not relinquished. The book will also be found to contain much valuable infor mation peculiarly interesting to those members of society who, from having indulged to excess in youth, find themselves un able to discharge those ditties and functions which devolve on them in the ordinary course of life.

With regard to the prospects of the harvest, we have reason to conclude, from the accounts we have from l o i u tt r le correspondents :ngrdeathtAnother week, however, of the weather we have had for the last six, cannot be looked upon without apprehension . Th e b arometer, it may be remarked , points favourably—hut this admirable instrument has been so often at fault, during the last six months, that people beg i n to distrust its indications. For example, for the last two days it has been fixed steadily at fair —yet, with a few intervals, it has been steadily raining. This would not be so injurious, perhaps, if the t emperature were high ; but this is not the case—it is chilly and cold, and several persons—ourselves amongst the nutnber—have had fires in their sitting-rooms within the last ten days. The thermometer has been at 53, and perhaps lower. A change, a real change, appears to have occurred in the climate. We believe that more rain has fallen within the last twelve months in Ireland, than in any previous year of which a record has been kept. Should our present climate continue, there must be a great change in our agricultural operations.—Dublin Evening Post. THE POWER OF TRUE LOVE.--A girl in New York, who has a swivel or screw eye, looked so long and affectionately on a gin bottle that she drew th e cwt. (FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS b. 41%) • (From the Morning Chronicle.) It has been antiOtificed, with an air of self-gratulation, that "so far as any further actiVe thedseres en the part of the Conservatives in the House of Commons are cated, the Session of 1840 may now be considered at an end." Jupiter t a k es repose or recreat i on , a f ter having hurled so many thunderbolts. The " troops of indepen dent gentlemen," whose attendance on their Parliamentary and party duty never was surpassed, if equalled ;" not withstanding that they are " beset by social blandishments and allurements, surrounded by the temptations of luxury, and brought up with strong tastes for athletic sport and eatiotts amusement, to the numberof considerably more than 300;'' this magnanimous h o ly ha completed its legisla toria achievements for the season, and its scattered Mem bers are about to seek renovation for future Titantie fights: To other eyes than their own, and thOse of their laudatory subordinates, the doings of this dotighty e t as; appear not quite so magnificent. The really Industietrus portion of society, whether in commerce or polities, seem obit to hear, in ail this flourish, the impotence of regret ful oasting ; " My languid limbs I fully stretch, And think I've done a feat to-day:" At the same tone, if the party be cot latent in its own heroism end triumphs, we can only rejoice that the pto verbially insatiate addissatisfied character of luxury has learned so (mail), the lesson of content. The historian of party will find it a difficult task to ferret out these vaunted successes of Toryism. 'they require lynt eyed, even while the ceurse of the yet unfinished session has lost none of its contemporaneous distinctness. What have the Tories done, with all their toil; to carp their rest ? What they brie-not done is v er y And it ineledaa every leading eleicet at which they have professedly aimed. From the Morning Post.) The Ministerialika ate crewing over the fact that theiresteoni are still in office. The fact, say they, that the Cippoliition f s heal baffled and defeated requires no other proof than this—that, notsvithsfeedieg the utmost efforts of Opposition, Ministers are still in office, and to all appearance likely tn boritinue so. This representation is impudent and absurd. No dppositioh can turn Minis ters out of office. They aro the Ministers of the Sore feign; riot of the Parliament.

(From the Morning Herald.) The mortification and disappointment expressed by the Government journals, at the result of Oxford's trial, pretty plainly indicate the sort of feeling which prevalis on the subject et Whitehall and Downing street. But whatever pain and anguish the verdict of the jury may produce to the Queen's Ministers, and their O'Connellite supporters, we believe that it diffuses general satisfaction throughout the country at large. And why should it not? Why shorild not the people of Englandee.the loyal and devoted subjects of the crown—rejoice to find, that not only did no sane man offer violence to their youthful and beloved So= vereign, but that a judicial investigation of two days has resulted in casting a serious doubt upon the charge of any attempt at political assassination whatever. The jury, after deliberating more than three quarters of an hour, declared that, although the prisoner bad die cl)arged two pistols at the Q'leen, there was no satis , factory evidence to prove that the pistols were loaded with ball—and they added that they believed him to he of unsound mind at the time. This finding the Globe falai flee, asserting that the Jury had not directed their attention in the first instance to the point of the loading of the pis tols. Not only had the Jury in the first instance turned their attention to that poiiit, but when Lord Denman asked them whether they had or not, the Foreman explicitly and emphatically answered that they had, and that there was no sufficient evidence before them to prove that there were balls in the pistols. However, as we before s tat e d, a question fit to b e di scusse d elsewhere than in a newspaper, we understand, may probably arise in reference to the manner in which the original verdict was dealt with, and which verdict Mr. Baron Alderson more than once told the Attorney-General negatived the offence charged in the indictment. MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS• ' . MONDAY EVENING) HERALD —The continued decline in the prices of Spanish Stock since the very promising start it took a few days since, has called forth all the enemies of those con cerned for the rise, and accordingly a long ya rn appears this mornin g i n v i n di cat i on of the good faith of the Spanish Goverument, the gist of which amounts to this, that the late large issues of stock at Madrid were not in tended to be thrown upon the market, but only to serve as a collateral guarantee to certain army contractors for supplying rations, clothing, and:ammunition, who had re ceived bills for the amount, for which, if not paid at maturity, they might have recourse upon this new stock placed in deposit for the purpose. The bills, we are in formed, have not yet run their course, and so the new bonds remain intact for the present. This is the sum and substance of all the rigmarole, the much-ado-about-nothing, put forward in hr half of higher prices for Spanish Bonds, for such is the finale aimed at. The " committee, it is said, indeed, are bcund to take higher grounds, and to discharge their duty to the bondholders," &c. &c. There are some of the committee who are entitled to high respect, and coii sidered justly as incapable of rendering their functions sub servient to other purposes than the defence of the interests they stand charged with.. There are others whose title to confidence is regarded as more doubtful, and critical peo ple are apt to inquire by what means they got on the com mittee at all, and what interest they were placed there to serve. To be plain, the sooner the committee is broken up the better ; let them go to a general meeting of bond holders if a committee bo really necessary, and cast their slough. No oae ought to be qualified to sit in such a eiMamittee but a legitimate holder of Spanish Bonds, and therefore a real sufferer by the Spanish Government. Speculators for account have no business there. As to the new issue of bonds. said to be placed in deposit as collateral security, a man must be either a rogue or an idiot who shall pretend net to see the end and drift of such a farce. When the bills for which they are said to be guarantee fall due they will not be paid, and so then the bonds will be sent into the market for what they will fetch. The scheme is neither more or less than a " sneaking" repetition of Mendizabal's fraud under what is imagined a more plausible shape. The Committee are advised to procure " affidavits" from those impugning the rectitude of the Spanish finance people in respect of certain facts ; would it not be better to get the financiers to exculpate themselves from the fraud chal lenged or believed in by other " affidavits ;" which also would be a favourable opportunity for some of the Com mittee to purge themselves similarly from interested con nivance, and to show the stake they hold, and how come by, in Spanish securities, with the particular interests they are there to uphold. These hints are thrown out of course with the most friendly intentions, and for fear that worse may betide. POST.—The Morning Chronicle is as thick and thin a supporter of the Spanish Government in all its ma nceuvrings as the Earl of Clarendon, and has at least equal claims with his Lordship to a piece of plate for his services. He still adheres to the assertion that the Mi nister] of Finance, pursuing a straightforward course with the newly-created bonds, though the main point contended for, namely, that the deposits had been duly made in the Bank of San Fernando according to law, is reluctantly given up as untenable. The Chronicle will, perhaps, see in a day or two the Minister's admiss;on in the Cortes that part of the issues have been actually thrown upon the mar ket. This, it will be allowed, would be a poser for him. As to the assurance of General Alava, we have only to obs,_rve that his Excellency said nothing of the sort im puted to him. The General merely expressed his indivi ctual and private opinions, referring to a file of the Diario for an explanation of the matters adverted to. No assur ance was hazarded. CHRONICLE. T .A few days since we mentioned that the accounts, as to the state of the crops, being rather - ;- favourable, were attracting attention, and the state of the Corn Market has also become a subject of some anxiety. The late wet weather, with the chill which is felt in the atmosphere, and want of sunshine at times, have caused a good dcal of uneasiness, and a feeling is prevalent that the crop will not be so abundant by any means as many people expected. It is acknowledged, indeed, to be thin on the ground in many districts ; and when we take this into view, with the circumstances of two bad harvests im mediately preceding, we cannot but acknowledge that fresh importations of foreign grain will be required before harvest. Wheat is quoted is. to 2s. per quarter higher than last Monday. SUN.—The Great iVestern steamer is expected to arrive from New York to-morrow or Wednesday. Three settlements fall due this week, one day after the other. The first, that in the Share Market, to-morrow; the sec-md, in the Foreign Market, on Wednesday ; and the last in Consols, on Thursday next. When these tem poraricauses have ceased to unsettle the market, we shall probably have prices again tending upwards. To.day Consols were about per cent. lower, ranging from 9i to Excb2quer Bills were tolerably steady at 30s. to 32g. premium, and East India Boads at 4s. premium. Bank Stock has remained at 1731 to 1731; and East India Stock rose to 2531, in consequence, we presume, of the important•statement made by the President of the Board of Control at the grand banquet given to Lord Keane on Saturday by the Honourable East India Company ; namely, that at the moment perhaps when he was addressing them, the British Empire in India had, LITERATURE THE DREAM, AND 01HER POEMS.

HANOVER, JULY 7.—The death of Professor Grade is deeply regretted by the Royal Family ai.d by all loyal Hanoverians. All the preparatory measures for the opera. tion on the Prince's eyes were made, and Dr. Angelstein, One of the most able pupils of Professor Gracie, had fol lowed him, to be present on the decisive moment. The mortal remains of the Professor were sent yester day morning to Berlin. flis family, who experienced the kindest sympathy from the Court, left Hanover one hour earlier. Thou4h it is said that two other celebrated stir gcons have been applied to, we believe that we confidently Ram that the operation will not be performed for the pre sent, :Od that the Pi ince will certainly go first to Nor derney. Mr. John Heinrich Ramberg, the Conrt painter, died yesterday, et the age of nearly 80 years, during the last of which be sug,Ted very painful illness. KIEL, Jur I' 7.—This morning, at 7 o'clock, the Rus sian steamer Bogatyr returned to this port, with the Grand bake Constantine on board. It brings word that a Russian squadron, consisting of a frigate, a corvette, two brigs and a lugger, will shortly arrive here. DA amsTAnT, Grand Duke Alexander will leave us the day after tc.rnorrow. He will gO first to klmis, stay there a few days, and then go to Petersburg. His rather afdiien departure is ascribed to the events in Southern Russia, cepetillly on the Caucasian coast. The Emperor, it is said, will visit theijo distant provinces, where the fortune of war has been unfavourablits to the Russian arras, and will be accompanied in his jourri;.l by the Grand Duke.—=thrrnburyh Papers, July 11.

There was also read another document, setting forth that the space of ground re quired for the monument was one hundred feet square, according to the plan of Mr. Kemp. It was agreed, that so far as the Magistrates and the Council had the power to grant the ground required, they had no objection to offer thereto, it being understood that the Committee take upon themselves the obtaining of the requisite. Act of Parliament, end make the ne cessar y arrangements xt ith the tenant of the gardens and others. The Council further remitted to the Lord Provost's Committee to co-operate in the matter gene rally with the Committee for the monument. ROYAL YACHT SQUADRON.-The Earl of De. , art sailed from Cadiz for Tangier and Gibraltar in his cutter Owen Glendwr.

TWEED SALMON FISHING.—The fishing still continues very unproductive —even more so than at the cor responding period of last year, which was a very bad one ; and the take of grilses, which, in some seasons, is by this time con siderable, has been as yet unusually small. The deficiency is ascribed by some of the fishermen to there having been too much "fresh water" in the ricer, which, though never very heavily flooded, has been more or less discoloured for every day during the last four weeks ; but this seems scarcely to ac count satisfactorily for the scarcity of fish, as the same result was a few weeks ago ascribed to the opposite cause—viz., too little water. As the fisheries in the Tay and other salmon rivers of Scotland have been equally unproductive, it is evident that the causes which have led, and are leading, the fish to desert our shores, remain to be discovered.—Berwick Advertiser. PRICE OF A COCKERMOUTH CANVASSER —The late election for Cockermouth has been abundantly rich C great lippe r_ in subjects for condemnation and laughter. A circumstance has just transpired which has excited both feelings. A per.. son of the name of Shearman—who might with pro priety apply to her Majesty for graciousheromofe a i:.o ,itleer Thea,vbeutaiwidhloiemenosset twohaos has sum not otth yet e m arrisoreatappropriatethe cog dignity perseveringly exerted himself on behalf of General 'Wyndham, has been detected in a trick which made his Tory friends look still more blue than the General's false colours. s oon after the election, this worthy advocate of Toryism, pro ceeded to Cockermouth Castle, to lay before Geaeral Wyndham a case of gross oppression to which he had been subjected by the rascally Whig-Radicals, for the dis interested and valuable support he had given to the General. He blushed and owned that when he commenced business as a grocer he was not quite so rich in this world's goods as he found necessary for his purposes ; and with shame he confessed he had been under the necessity of borrowing 5001. from one of those vile Whig-Radicals who had so shamefully opposed the good and gallant General whom he was addressing ; and he produced a letter which he said he had just received from the lender, demanding the immediate payment of the money, as a punishment for the part he had taken at the election. The General swore, as Generals do swear sometimes—cursed all the Whig-Radicals, and declared his friend " clipper " should not suffer under such vile oppression. The steward was sent for; end being a virtuous and good man, he entered at once into the feelings of the party, and soon arranged that the money should be advanced to pay off the paltry debt; 3001. was giv en i n h and, and 2001. more was to be forth coming almost immediately. The affair made a great noise, as all affairs do in small towns; and through the medium of the worthy Vicar, the supposed lender heard of his own vile doings—of which before he had been kept in utter ignorance, for it turned out that not only had he written no such letter as Shearman had shown, but had never lent the man a penny in his life. The consternation of the Tory party, on the discovery of this trick, may be more easily conceived than described. Some cursed, some swore, some bit their lips ; but all declared that their dear friend Mr. Shearman was not the man they took him for ; and worst of all, added the steward, with a pious ejaculation—which it might be construed as improper to print —" worst of all, everybody will now know the price we are willing to give for a canvasser, and if we have to come to another election, why a mint of money won't pay for it." DOVER, JCLY 13. Their Royal Highnesses the Duke and Duchess de. Nemours , arrived here this mo r ni ng f rom B ou l ogne , i n L 5. Conner French steam packet,and they would have pro• cecded immediately towards London, but the steamer ran aground close to the South Pier, and, as the tide as fall ing, she rernair.ed there, and the carriages cannot be got on shore until the evening's tide, so that t h e i r R oya l Oigh nesses will Probably remain at the Snip Inn, until to morrow morning. The accident must have been very mortifying to the Royal tiavelters, as there was plenty of water into the harbriur ; for an English stcain-packet came in immedi ately before them ; and another, the 11 ate; Witch, from Boulogne, came in just after the French steam-packet had grounded, Indeed, an hour after, the steamer from Rams gate came in, landed her passengers, and went out again. It was the opiniun of several very experienced parsons on the pier, that it was very fortunate the _Courier groneded as she did, or a much worse accident might have occurred by the vessel striking against the South Pier. . Their Royal Highnesses landed under a salute from the . Westr ru Heights, and were received by' the Commandant of the garrison, Col. Munro, and a Guard of Honour from the 90th I.i;lrt Lfantry, under Captain Cumming. They drove reund the town and to the Castle in the afternoon. COURT CIRCULAR.

FATAL AND MOST DISTRESSING EVENT.— An occurrence of a very deplorable nature took plac.e at about. half-past eight o'clock this morning. Two young geitlemen, Mr. Albert Callanan, son of Pr. Callanan, of this city,. And Mr. Alexander Nl‘Carthy, both employed as Clerks in tic National Bank, repaired to the neighbourhood of the Core Market, in the Gas fields, for the purpose of amusing them selves by firing at a target. A pistol, provided by Mr. Cal lanan, had been used alternately by them, when, having pre - viously fired several shots, it hung fire. Mr. M'Carthy was in the act of examining the deadly instrument, when, the Larrel being unfortunately directed towards his companion's head, it went off; the ball struck the posterior inferior angle of the parietal bone, close to the lateral sinus, and then passed off. After running about twenty paces Mr. Callanan fell, and never spoke after. He was taken to the Infirmary, and died at about nine o'clock. An inquest was held, the result of which wa saver- diet of " Accidental death."— Cork Southern Re porter.
