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 whoth 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 responsibility of a parent, will, by perusing this work, be directed, and very much assisted in investigating and detecting the too often concealed practises 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 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 n 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 cut the disastrous consequences which are sure to follow from them, if not relinquished.

The following letter was addressed, in the year 1804, by the present King of the French, to the Right Rev. Dr. Watson, then Bishop of Llandaff, in answer to a letter of condolence written by his Lordship to the then Due D'Orleans, on the murder by Bonaparte of his cousin, the Due d'Enghien 0'; "Twickenham, July L'18; 1804. •' My dear Lord,—l am extremely obliged to your Lordship for your kind letter. I regretted that I had not the pleasure of seeing you whitst you were is town. The moment I heard you were there I went to Great George-street very early, to be certain of finding you at home, but I was informed you had removed, and I could get no other direction but that it was somewhere in Albemarle-street or Conduit -street, they knew not which ; and as to a number, that was not to be thought of. Still, had I been a resident in town, 1 had cer tainly found you out ; but I have been very little in town last winter, and never had a house, or even apartments. I remained here in great retirement, of which I grow more fond every day of my life. " I was certain your Lordship's elevated soul had.re sented with becoming indignation the foul murder of my unfortunate cousin. His mother being my aunt, he was, next to my brothers, the nearest relation I had, and as he was only a year older than me, we had been playfellows during our younger years ; you must feel it was a sad blow to me. His fate is an awful warning to every one of us that the Corsican usurper will never rest till he has erased the whole of our family from the list of the living. It makes me feel still more forcibly than I did before (though it is scarcely possi ble) the blessings of the generous protection and sup port granted unto us by your magnanimous country. " I have left my native country at so early a period that I have not much of the habits of a Frenchman, and I may say with perfect candour that I am attached to England, not only by gratitude, but by inclination and habit. It is in the sincerity of my heart that I say may I never leave that hospitable land! " But it is not only on account of my own feelings that I am so strongly interested in the welfare, prospe rity, and success of England : it is also as a man. The safety of Europe, that of the world, and the future happiness and independence of mankind, rests upon the preservation and independence of England, and this is the noble cause of Bonaparte's rage against you, and of that of his gang. May God defeat his wicked plans, and maintain this country in its present glorious and h a ppy situation, is the true wish of my heart, and of my most fervent prayer ! "Your Lordship must be equally well acquainted with my opinion respecting religious differences amongst Christians, and, in other words, amongst men who pro fess the same religion. I believe every man must re main true to the principles in which he was brought up ; but I equally believe it is not in such times as we live in that such differences can be a real cause of difference among Christians. The question is, not whether one is a Christian of this or that sect, but whether he is a Christian or not? This, in my humble opinion, is the only question, at a time when the vital parts of religion and morality are attacked with such force, when the melancholy experience of the latter years shows with what rapidity irreligion and immora lity are spreading their baneful dominion over mankind. From the knowledge I have acquired of your Lord ship's great mind, I thought your opinion should be what I am very glad to find it is. I hope you will allow me to say, that I congratulate you upon senti ments so worthy at once of an English Prelate and a true Christian. " Would you be so good as to remember me most kindly to Mrs. and the Miss Watsons, and believe me with the highest and most sincere esteem and regard, my dear Lord, ever your affectionate, (Signed) " L. P. P. ORLEANS." PILCHARD FISHERY. (From the Cornwall Advertiser.) NEWQUAY.—On Tuesday morning last, the driving boats at this place brought, in about 1,000 fine pilchards. Several shoals were seen by them off Prrran Bay ; but the fish were shy to take the nets. We are still in hopes, says our Correspondent, of having a catch of the early fish, as they pass up Channel ; but nothing has yet been seen approaching the bay. MOUNT'S BAY.—We regret that up to the time we write, no fish has been taken by the scans here ; and no intelligence has reached us that any have been secured at any other place along the coast. The driving boats continue to bring in a few. GoitAN HAVEN.—The drift boats belonging to this place and Mevagissey have brought in fine catches since Sunday, amounting to from 500 to 6,000 _or 7,000 in a boat. Two scans shot at Mevagissey, on Monday, one of which took 8 maunds, and the other 12 maunds, which fetched 15s. per maund. . . RECEIPTS FOR TIIE EPIDEMIC.—The fol lowing are recommended for the disease now prevalent .1 amongst cattle :-10 oz. Glauber's salts, 6 oz. of sulphur, 1 2 oz. of nitre, to be given in a drink for a full grown beast, for the complaint now prevalent amongst cattle. J To dress the tongue-4 oz. of blue vitriol, dissolved in a pint of vinegar, for a wash, to be rubbed about the roots of the tongue. BRILLIANT STAG-HUNT.—On Monday last, the Brecon hounds, while out in search of an otter, near Acercarnlais, came upon one of the stags which had escaped from the Park, and a chase immediately ensued, which lasted two hours and twenty minutes without a check; the stag being ultimately killed near Devynnock, having made a circuit of nearly twenty-five miles of country. The same pack, on Thursday last, killed another otter in the river Llynoi, near Talgrath, after a continued hunt of five hours' duration.—Silurian. i . EXCUSE OF A FAUX PAs.- -PrOCee(llngs were recently taken by the proprietor of an hotel at Rom a i t , vine, named Bonardet, against his wife, for adultery. palliation Romainville, it should be stated, is celebrated as the . resort of lovers ; and the billing and cooing o f guests of this description who visited the hotel of seeAsid7on v either side. A her husband were, it appeared, too much for the lively imagination of Madame Bonardet. The pi-Lay but frail Frenchwoman had been detected in a crim. con. with a young man residing in the Rue Rochcchouart. "What have you to allege in of your offence ?" said the President of the Court, " you have been detected in a criminal conversation with a young man not your husband." "It is perfectly true, ,, replied the ' fair impenitent,' " and what could you ex pect ? During the whole time since my husband con ceived the unlucky idea of taking an hotel, I have seen nothing but lovers. Th e y began to arrive at four in the morning, and the hotel was not free from them till the last thing at night. M. Bonardet should have known that all this would turn my head ; and, with regard to my being found in the chamber of the young man, that 2 Saturday n Launceston, proves nothing but that my principles would not allow me to dishonour my husband in his own house."—Gazett des Tribunaux. sr ß totre S mn T pm o ais it l last, on dTaE tremendousextendeditself f i t T h I ju eightnNd D r E o barn within half-a-mile was much injured, but a person working at the other end of the barn luckily escaped un hurt.

It was stated at the meeting of the Great Western Railway shareholders at Bristol, on Thursday, t h at the probable cause of the recent fires on that line was the hot ashes being thrown up by the wheel from the ash.box on to the tarpaulin, which was set in a flame, and from its combus tible nature, when once on fire, rather assi ste d than pre vented the destruction of the property which it covered. On this discovery t h e wheels of the engines for th e con veyance of goods were plated, thus affording a preventive of a recurrence of fire from the same cause. SUICIDE BY A CLERGYNIAN.—On Saturday afternoon, the 15th instant, the Rev. Mr. Southcombe, cu. rate of St. Wenn, near St. Columb, was discovered in his bed-room quite dead, with his throat cut. He had for some time before showed evident signs of derangement, and had been very irregular in his conduct. An inquest was held on the body on the following Monday, before Joseph Hamley, Esq., and a verdict of Insanity was re. I turned.... West Briton. CERTIFICATES-SEPT. 22. H.

HAVELOCK'S " NARRATIVE OF THE LATE WAR IN AFFGrIANISTAN."-This ably written work furnishes by far the most comprehensive as well as the most interesting account the public has yet received of the late brilliant war in Affghanistan. Capt. Havelock's position was peculiarly favourable to the production of a narrative of the events of the campaign, and the narrative he has here placed before us is highly creditable to his spirit of observation, his impartiality, and his desire and determina tion to tell the exact truth on all points. In a word, the merit and value of this work consists in the bona fide cha racter of the pictures it gives of all the leading events of the campaign—or rather the entire war; and the impres sion it leaves of those pictures having been taken at the time, and en the spot to which they refer. The assault of Ghuznce of course maintains the principal place in the narrative, and nothing can be more graphic or interesting than Captain Havelock's description of the storming and its results ; and his subsequent description of the flight and pursuit of Dost Mohammed is scarcely less exciting. The whole work is worthy of the events which gave rise to it. —New Monthly. EXPENSE OF A PACK OF FOXIIOUNDS. — F our thousand pounds a year is the sum. It is well known that ono celebrated sportsman, lately deceased, was the owner of foxhounds for fifty-seven years ; here has been the im mense sum of two hundred and twenty-eight thousand pounds expended by one man in one pursuit, supposing the above annual sum to have been disbursed in the charges attending it.

PRICE sd. FRAUDS IN CORN-LAW AVERAGEg. (From the Anti-Corn-Law Circular.) During the recent debate on the motion of Mr. Vil liers, several of the Honourable Members who took part therein, expressed themselves in unqualified terms of admiration of the beneficial effects of a fluctuating or sliding scale of duties, regulated according to the ave rage price of grain in the chief markets throughout England for the previous six weeks ; and whilst they professed an irreconcileable objection to any alteration in the present law, they felt a tenfold aversion to per mit inquiries into the subject, under the impression that this branch of it might, by a bare possibility, un dergo revision. By those parties, however, who have been practi cally conversant with the workings of the sliding scale, it has long been considered as neither more nor less than a direct bonus to the speculator ; and that so far from giving fixity or stability to prices, it has had the direct tendency of producing greater and more constant flue illations than could by any possibility arise under the natural operations of free importation, or even under any permanent system of fiscal regulation, and, added to which, it is cruel towards the farmer, as it leaves him at all times subject to the mercy of any half-dozen in dividuals who mutually agree to act upon the principle of returning fictitious sales of corn at high prices, at any of the one hundred and fifty towns recited in the . Act of Parliament. The unfavourable state of the weather, a short time back, induced many merchants, under the impression of the probability of another bad and deficient harvest, to send out orders for wheat and flour, to a considerable extent, to the Continent and to America. These orders are now being executed. But, in the meantime, the weather undergoes a most favourable alteration, and the prospects of the harvest are most materially changed for the better, and there is every probability of the avera ges being such as that the foreign corn, either in bond or to be imported, must either pass through the Custom House at a high duty or remain in bond, at a great expense and considerable deterioration in quality, for months, if not years, to come. The result has been, that some parties have resolved to defeat the legitimate action of the law ; and the following tables from the inspectors' returns, will exhibit the process in full ope ration. We have extracted the averages, from some of the principal corn markets in the kingdom, for the last ten weeks ; and we have been guided in our selection by the desirableness of examining and comparing the re turns in such markets as are supposed either to have an immediate effect upon each other from their proximity or are otherwise operated upon, and, to a considerable extent, governed by the same influences.

From an examination of the above, it will at once ap pear that the advance in London bad been very consi derable, amounting to an increase of from 675. to 80s. 4d. the imperial quarter ; but that at the other markets, of Chelmsford, Ipswich, and Norwich,lno cor responding variation has taken place, the increase only amounting to 23. 10d., 3s. 4d., and 1 s. 9d., respectively, although they are nearly (the two first especially) under the entire control of the Mark-lane market. But the disparity does not end here ; it is very de sirable to the speculator to obtain high averages, to counteract the returns in the low priced districts ; but this cannot be done to any great extent unless there happens to be a greater or preponderating quantity sold at the high price ; and a reference to the number of quarters of wheat sold at each place at the respective periods, will exhibit the astounding increase of from 6,000 quarters in Louden, June 5, to 19,500 quarters for the week ending Aug. 7 the Chelmsford and Nor wich returns for the same period showing a falling off, and the Ipswich being the only one exhibiting any in crease. The usual aggregate return for the kingdom is about 90,000 to 100,000 quarters weekly. So that the 'must 7 amounts to one-fith lma f- ^r A of the entire quantity.

In Liverpool more astonishing variations have taken place in the prices than in London, the average price on the sth June being 435. 1 Id., and on the 7th August 735. 3d., or an advance of 295. 4d. In New castle the alteration is from 595. 4d. to 725. Birming ham, at the same period, actually shows a decline in price, and Leeds varies only to the extent of 2s. sd. per quarter. The increase in the quantity sold at the high price at the two former places, exhibits the unity of action in their transactions and those of the London people, and it is difficult to believe that it is not the result of mutual arrangements. THE AVERAGES. SECOND ARTICLE. In our last number of the Circular we briefly directed the attention of our readers to the fictitious returns of purchases of wheat made at some of the principal ' markets to the inspectors, for the purpose of advancing the averages, and thereby securing the admission of foreign grain and flour (in bond, or to arrive within a few weeks) into consumption at the lowest possible duty ; and we exhibited actual proof that the sliding scale afforded no protection to the farmer against the combined movements of any half dozen speculators who might at any time, if they found it their interest to do so, render the law inoperative. We shall now proceed to examine how far the me chanism of the system for taking the averages is calcu• lated to insure a correct statement of the actual price of corn throughout England, either for the purpose of re gulating the duty, or as the basis of comparison be twixt the cost of the chief article of subsistence in this and foreign States. By the Act of the 9th Geo. IV., cap. 60, one hun dred and fifty towns are enumerated as places wherein returns of all British corn and grain purchased shall be received, and to each town an inspector is appointed by the Government, whose duty it is to receive and examine such returns ; to average them, and to forward the said averaged statement to the head inspector at London and all buyers are re q uired, under cert ain penaltiesfo . ; neglect, to give a written statement of the quantity of grain, and the p rice p er im pe ri al quarter at which the sam e has been purchased , to the inspector f or th e town where the said purchase was made. The returns of each town having been transmitted to the inspector Lon don, a further average is made, and thep ce an i d n quan titiesand are published in the Gazette ; thisbeing re peated for six weeks regulates the duty. paid lt b i y s tll verye buyer obvious neverthat a p thepea appear lowest prices I n v e t s h t e Gazelle, and highest the ave rage price only of all sales at each place, in which there generally is a difference of Bs., l Os., or even as much as 12s. per quarter being published ; and consequently, any analysis must be t o a ccrfain extent imperfect which ' omits if tsalilt be notic o e m o it f t s ed, ucl l - i v l e oe sh al all d difference. o e n e. an , ine Nevertheless, aspl,ecatio differ ence o f the Gazette f or any week during the past y in pric e o ft en ex i sts to the 'amount of 50 per cent. ; and yet the law prevents the admission of foreign wheat or flour at Is. per quarter duty until the aggregate ave rage of the whole of the one hundred and fifty places exceeds 735. per quarter, or until the good and sound qualities shall have advanced so far above 735. as to equalise in value and quantity the unsound and unwhole some article upon which the hand-loom weaver and the Devonshire peasant are compelled, by the fear of famine and the keen cravings of hunger to prolong a miserable and hopeless existence. In order to convey our meaning more clearly, we have extracted the highest and lowest prices published in the Gazette for the twelve weeks ending the 7th of August, and we have also given the difference upon each in a third column : LOWEST. HIGHEST. DIFFERENCE. s. d. s. d. s. d. May 22... 48 5 83 10 35 5 29... 44 1 SO 1 36 0 June 5... 43 11 77 9 33 10 12... 49 5 77 11 28 6 19... 41 4 77 7 36 3 26... 31 3 78 1 26 10 July 3... 48 1 78 6 30 5 10... 47 5 78 4 30 11 17... 52 0 80 11 28 11 24... 46 9 84 1 37 4 31... 47 4 83 1 37 9 Aug. 7... 52 4 84 6 32 2 394 4 It will appear from the above, that on May 22, the lowest price for wheat was 48s. 3d., and the highest 83s. 10d., and that consequently there was a differ rence to the amount of 355. sd. a quarter ; that this difference has been very great throughout the whole period, and on the average of the twelve weeks is equal to 325. 1O r d., and this, be it understood, is independent of the local differences to which we have before re ferred ; and yet we have been told, over and over again, that this system above all others tends to pro duce equality of prices. If we take the two prices for the first week upon the list, and suppose the quantity sold equal in each in stance, we shall find that they give a mean of 665.1 d., at which average fore.gn wheat might be introduced on the payment of the trifling sum of only 28s. Bd. per quarter. The real, or the Gazette average, for the same week was 635., the quantity sold above 665. id.. having slightly exceeded that below, and the duty until the fictitious sales were made has remained at, or above, 16s. Bd. If therefore, the last year's produce had been a little worse than it was in quality, not a single grain of foreign wheat could by any possibility, except fraud in the retnros, have fot.sid its way into consumption la this country. It is clear from what is here stated, that it is quite as necessary, for the sake of properly calculating the averages, that the quantity in all cases should be cor rectly ascertained and given and that the returns should and ought to be made at the market nearest the place where the grain is consumed, since the freight and carriage to such market from a distance not unfre quently forms a serious charge in the cost to the buyer. How far these desiderata are secured by the present system we shall presently show. The quantity of wheat required for one purpose or another in this country amounts to upwards of 16,000,000 quarters per annum ; and it is therefore certain, that no return containing less annually than two thirds of that quantity can be fairly said to measure or test with anything approximating to accuracy, the com mercial transactions in this article, and yet the whole of the returns in any one year, instead of amounting to two-thirds, scarcely reach iaae-fourth, and of this one fourth nearly one•third may be fairly stated to appear twice in the averages, in consequence of its being trans ferred fiom one market to another, and there re-sold. The wisdom of that system which assumes that less than one-fourth ought to represent the whole, is so obvious as to require no comment. It is well known, that in the manufacturing and other populous districts the inhabitants consume a much greater quantity of wheaten bread than in the agricul tural districts ; and therefore the returns from suds places ought to bear some resemblance to the truth of this. But no ; the returns from Manchester during the last twelve weeks amount to 1,5794 quarters, whilst the return for Lincoln for the last single week of the twelve amounts to 1,9551 I. The whole of the returns for the county of Chester for the same week amount to the large sum of 303 a quarters, or about .52 quarters less than from the city of Oxford for the same period. Whilst the entire purchases for North and South \Vales for one week amount to 406 quarters, Worcester figures to the tune of 694 Bury, Rochdale, Ashton-under- Lyne, Blackburn, and Stockport are omitted altoge ther, and so are Halifax, Bradford, &c., in Yorkshire. But the whole thing is a burlesque from beginning to end, and could never have been devised but for the 1 purposes of deception. EXPERIMENTS AT THE TEES. (From the Durham Chronicle.) Tuesday last was the day appointed for making a fair trial of the respective merits of Capt. Manby's apparatus, and Mr. Carte's and Mr. Dennet's rockets. Seaton Carew was the place selected for the experiments. The first series of experiments was made upon the moor, on which three masts were set up in line, fifty feet apart, and at the dis tance of three hundred yards from the spot where Captain Manby's mortar and the rocket-apparatus were placed—each hundred yards being marked by a flag placed in a line with the centre mast of the three above named. The object sought to be at tained was, to throw a slender rope the whole dis tance of 3,000 yards,:and within the masts. The first attempt was made with the mortar, which is of S 4- inches bore, and capable of throwing a 24- pound ball. A ring projecting from the ball re ceives a sort of short rope made of twisted thongs of buffalo-hide, to which an inch-and-half line was attached. The ball fell 61 yards short of the dis tance, and 16 yards to the right line of the flags. Mr. Carte next tried a congreve rocket weighing twelve pounds, to the stick of which a line con siderably more slender than Captain Manby's was attached. It was discharged at an angle of 30 degrees, from a spout fixed by a swivel on a sort of telescope-stand, and flew twenty-four yards beyond the masts, and thirty-five yards to the right of the line of flags. Mr. Dennett then discharged one of his rockets, vveighing;nine pounds, and carrying a line somewhat stouter than that used by Mr. Carte. It fell 17 yards beyond the masts, and 57 on the right of the centre line. Captain Manby's second ball was 43 yards short of the distance, and nearly 4 yards to the right of the centre line. The line of Mr. Carte's second rocket broke, and away flew the ambitious projectile to the distance of about 1,200 yards. Mr. Dennett's •second attempt was rather more successful than his first, the rocket alighting 25 yards beyond the distance, and 41 yards to the right of the centre line. A third ball from the mortar fell 36 yards short of the distance, and 10 yards to the right of the centre line. This finished the experiments on the moor, and the party returned to the village. Opposite the hotel, and at about 200 yards from the above, the Sunbeam steamer lay moored, as the object to be communicated with. On this occasion the mortar was not brought into play. Mr. Carte's first rocket broke the line, which had accidentally got entangled with something on the beach ; his second line fell right amid-ships of the Sunbeam ; and his third over the bowsprit. Mr. Dennett's first line fell about a boat's-leng th astern of the steamer, his second over her awsprit, and his third against her funnel. A fourth was dis charged without a line, and excited much astonish ment by the extent of its range. Mr. Carte then took his apparatus into a boat, and threw a line within a yard of a coble placed at a con siderable distance. The same gentleman also exhi bited his " Life-preserver,"—a ring of cork of con enclosed in a waterproof cover siderable thickness, ing, and of sufficient diameter to allow a person to put his head and shoulders through ; which was actually done in deep water by ,a man who leapt from a coble, and was towed ashore by a rocket-line. The life-boats —stoutly manned with hardy seamen, who would as willingly peril life in a storm to save their fellow -creatures, as exhibit on a gala-day— manoeuvred in beautiful style, the swiftness with which they ran over rather than through the water, being much admired. At the close of the exhibition, a party of gentle men, to the number of more than a hundred, sat down to a sumptuous dinner at the Seaton Hotel. Mr. Pease, M.P.; G. H. Wilkinson, Esq. ; E. Backhouse, Esq. ; the Mayor of Stockton ; L. Itaisbeck, Esq. ; and most of the leading men con nected with the trade of the Tees, were present at the experiments. ------- FORESTALLING IN THE 31ARKET.—On Fri. day last some of the regraters who attend the Pannier Market at Exeter made extensive purchases of potatoes from farmers and others before they reached the mar ket, by which means they were enabled to tix their ap su p c ii i c i own price. The consequence was that potatoes were sold here for Is. and Is. 2d. a sure, when the price in the potatoe-growing districts was but from 4d. to tid.
