Solomons, and is much gratified in be ing able to say that his " Patent Spectacles," adapted to her sight nearly six years ago, have continued uraioninished in the perfect ease and pleasure she was so delighted to have experienced from their use immediately he so skil fully applied them, enabling her to read or engage her sight for the most minute employment, and for any length of time, by day or candle-light, without the slightest fa tigue. This is the more remarkable and gratulatory to the Countess's feelings considering the total failure in the above respects, and consequent mortifying disappointments attending the'various other spectacles she hitherto attempted to wear; indeed, it is with the greatest pleasure the Coun tess testifies to Mr. E. Solumons' perfectly successful treatment of her sight, and submits her own peculiar case in confirmation of the strong and deserved recommen dations his Spectacles have received, and of Mr. E. So lomons' high professional standing.—Counteas Constantia Clifford. To Mr. E. Solomons, Optician, 36, Old Bond. treet, and 1, Old Jewry, City." The influence of the sun on the skin and com plexion at the present season is frequently subversive of comfort to persons of delicate skin, by producing sun burns, freckles, tanned skin, and lips parched and swollen. To oppose these innovations, the most infallible specific is Rowland's Kalydor, a preparation from the most delightful exotics, which not only by its use insures the skin from the effects of summer's scorching heat, but never fails of re storing the skin to its pristine delicacy and whiteness. It is invaluable as a renovating and refreshing wash during travelling, or exposure to sun and dust ; and, from its ex traordinary efficacy in allaying all incidental inflammation, deserves a place among . the household treasures of every family. THE CORN AVERAGES —We stated on Satur day that the average price of corn was likely to continue sufficiently high to keep the duty at 2s. Bd. per quarter for at least a fortnight. We understand, however, that the re turns from the leading markets by which the advance was principally sustained, and especially from London and Wakefield, exhibit so great a falling-off, both in price and quantity, that the duty is almost certain to rise to 6s. Bd. on Thursday next. The fact, we suppose, is, that the purpose of those who have been manoeuvring to raise the averages is perfectly answered by the opportunity which they have already secured, of liberating the stocks of corn and flour in bond ; and their interest, like that of the. farmers, now is, to raise the duty as soon as possible, in order to prevent competition from subsequent imports of foreign corn. As all are now pulling in the same direc tion, the fall in the next weekly average will he very great, probably not less than is. or Ss. a quarter, whilst the actual decline in the markets was not to half that extent. Such are the fruits of our glorious system of Corn-laws ! Manchester Guardian. MR. LONGWORTH'S RESIDENCE AMONG THE Cracasstaxs.—This important work on Cireatsia, will be doubtless generally considered the moat truthful that we have yet had on the subject; the author's facilities for ob servation having been greater than any other traveller has yet enjoyed. " Mr. Longworth." observes the New Monthly, " being regarded by the Circassians as a diplo matic agent of the English Government, sent with a view to aid and advise them in their unequal contest, was treated en prince by the whole nation, and his sojourn in the country made a sort of triumph, in which the national character was displayed in all its lights, good as well as ill, but all full of interest and curiosity as matters of ob servation. When we add that Mr. Longworth is every way adapted to turn such a position to the most valuable account, we need not say that the result is one of the most interesting and valuable works of the kind tl - at we have had for years. The numerous pletyres which his volumes furnish of the social economy of this singular and primi tive people, can scarcely be surpassed for interest. The volumee are, i n filet, as entertaining as a novel ; and they are evidently written with a 6:fict regard to that true de tail of facts, which makes them as instructive as an offi cial report."

A S Manhood approaches, the human form, coun tenance, voice, and the whole intellectual character, rapidly undergo a revolution. Love is the end and sum of life, creating image after image of ideal perfection. But in the present state of society, pure and virtuous enjoyment is often postponed and obstructed, till the excess of youthful impetuosity impels to a course of wild and injurious indulgence, and the mind becomes painfully harassed by alterations of fear, disgust., and passion. In this state relief is perhaps sought from the inexperienced, perhaps from the ignorant ; in either case at the expense of health, that being only palliated which should have been effectually cured. Here we propose to step in and rescue the victim of unwise indulgence from the pangs of remorse, disappointed hope, and disease; and we pledge ourselves to eradicate every taint of syphilitic poison, and to restore to its wonted energy every relaxation of the generative economy, whether from this or other causes, whereby the dignity of man hood shall have become impaired ; equally contemning unfeel ing ern pyrlelsw, which with reckless ignorance destroys where 0. 002 pr po4 ;elfishness increases the it should restore and, on the other hand, that unworthy afflicted.

GENERAL DISPENSARY ALDERS- FINE SPECIMEN OF AN IRISH GATE-STREET. PARSON. The General Quarterly Meeting of the Governors of this valuable Institution was held yesterday at the Dispensary, Ahlersgate-street. Thrower B. Herring, ES Q ., Treasurer, in the Chair. The minutes of th e List Meeting having been read, The CHAIRMAN said that he was happy to inform the Governors that since their last meeting her Ma jesty had been graciously pleased to signify her inten tion of becouring Patroness of the Institution, and his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge had kindly consented to act as President at their next anniversary dinner, which would take place in April next. On their last anniversary the Lord Mayor had presided, and he was happy to state that on that occasion they had got the largest subscription which had ever been procured ; this large subscription, however, had be come absolutely necessary in consequence of the vast increase which had taken place in the number of patients, which had increased since 1835, from three thousand and upwards to more than eight thousand, annually. This institution was not only the parent of all similar institutions throughout the country, but it was also by far the largest, and, he hoped, the Go vernors would not relax in their exertions to main tain for it its proud pre-eminence. It should be re collected that this institution had no private funds of its own ; it was entirely dependent upon the voluntary contributions of its well-wishers for its support, and unless they had a good collection at their anniversary meeting, they would be obliged to narrow the sphere of their operations. He congratulated them upon the present flourishing state of the institution, and urged them not to relax in their exertions in endeavouring to obtain for it that support Li which alone it could stand. The Newry Examiner contains an account of " a scene" in which the principal actors were Mr. Yeatcs, a Parson of the Establishment, and Mr. Johnston, a Presbyterian Minister, upon occasion of a meeting held for the purpose of placing a certain school in the North of Ireland under the National Board of Education. As the " scene" is too good to be lost, we give the speeches of the chief "dramatis personce," which hill wt./ sufficiently explain the story. It ~ . een bow con spicuously shone forth the meekneliii charity of the son of the Church, and what a poo ''-$ re the Presby terian parson made beside him. Parson Yeates loquitur. " The Rev. Mr. Yeates rose and said—Mr. Chair man and gentleman, in rising to address you, I intend to be as concise and temperate in my remarks as my Christian charity and my present temper will permit. In the first place, I hold the doctrines of Popery to be erroneous, idolatrous, and damnable ; and as this Na tional Board—l should rather say un-Christian Board —is an emanation of Popery, I object to it in lobo ; and I say to you, fellow-Christians, let us have no Popery here.—( Loud cries of " No Pope, no Popery.") In the first place, my dearest brethren, if you allow yourselves to be put under the yoke of this Papist Board you will have to give up your Holy Bible, and they will put into your hands and the hands of your dear children, the tracts and extracts of this un- Christian Board ; and I ask you, as Christians, are you prepared to give up your Bible—(Loud cheering, and cries of ' The Bible, the whole Bible, and nothing but the Bible')—and they will send the priests to visit your school, and to watch over the education of your children ; and I ask you arc you prepared to allow your dear children—your tender offspring—the pledges of your love—to be contaminated by Popery and Popish priests ?—(Cries of No priest,' and "ro hell with the Pope.') And I must inform you that Doctor Murray, the Catholic Archbishop of Dublin, is at the head of this Board. Well, when vou want money you must apply to Dr. Blake, who is his cor respondent here ; and if Dr. Murray is unwell you must wait until he gets better, and you will have to apply to their Arian secretary(Cross), and from Cross to Dr. Mu rray, and from Dr. Murray to Dr. Blake, and you will have to go through all the Blakes of Popery before you can receive one penny of this Popish money ; and now, fellow-Christians and Protestants, are you prepared to submit to all this ? Are you [Here the Rev. Speaker became so excited as to be unable to proceed for a few moments, la hen a person in the vicinity of the chair called out to put a spoon in his month,' which was fol lowed by shouts of No Pope,' and ' turn him out, that fellow, with the spoon !' amid great confusion, and cries of Chair, chair.' The gallant Chairman having re stored order, the Reverend Gentleman proceeded to finish his very' temperate' address.] I say, fellow Protestants, are you prepared to sacrifice your children—the dear pledges of your affection—to the Moloch of Popery But, above all, are you prepared to sacrifice your Bible—the boasted charter of Protestantism—and ex change it, like Esau, for a mess of pottage, for the tracts of the Popish Board ? No, my fellow. Protestants, I will answer for you a thousand times no ! I hope you you will all join me this evening in crying' no Board—no priests—no Popery here !' The Rev. Gentleman con cluded a lengthened speech, of which this is but a brief outline, and cries of No Pope—no Popery here.' " As this speech is as " temperate" as Parson Yeates's " Christian charity and present temper" would admit, we have a fair measure of the Reverend Gentleman's charity and temper, and cannot but congratulate the Church as by law established upon the possession of a holy man so replete with heavenly love and the virtue of equanimity. How horrified he is at the thought of volumehas as St. been Peter, being may congratulate itself that it is not the custom of our modern apostles to wear swords. We should not like fvastrobbedif usenotof to his holy,h Bible! e ': s t T h n e h 9ev Boardercn sacred e o f Education e is to be even Dr. Murray's footman in the path of St. Yeates. The part of the audience that raised the angelic shout of " to hell with the Pope," in echo to the par son's brayings, was, no doubt, composed of his parishion ers and disciples. Given the shepherd, it is an easy problem to determine the sheep. Mr. WooD, the Secretary, observed, as an increased incentive to exertion on the part of the friends of the institution, that while the pati,lts had increased from 3,000 to upwards of 8,000 annually, the funds had not increased in proportion, and they were at present little more than they had been in 1832, so that the greatest exertion had been regnired to keep down the expendi ture. They depended upon a good anniversary to prevent them from getting into debt, and he was happy to say that 24 or 25 influential gentlemen had consented to become stewards for their next anniversary dinner, and he hoped that the number would be considerably in creased. They had three physicians and three surgeons, who not only saw patients at the institution, but at tended them at their own houses, and during the last year the physicians and surgeons had paid upwards of 10,000 visits to poor persons at their own habitations, and this duty was performed entirely gratuitously, the only paid medical officer of the establishment being the apothecary, who was required to devote his whole time to the duties of his office, for the performance of which ha was furnished with apartments in the house, was found in coal and candle, and had a salary of 1201. p:,•r annum. There was a dispenser with a salary of 301. per annum, and the collector had a poundage upon the money he collected, and these were the whole of the expenses of the officers of the establishment. During the last year the physicians had received 25,350 visits at the institu tion, and the surgeons 10,712 ; and in addition the me dical men had paid 10,915 visits to patients at their own houses, making a total of 46,985 interviews with patients during the last year. The following are the comparative annual averages for the three years ending 1836, and the three years ending 1839 : THREE TEARS ENDING 1836. Income £1,020 16 11 Expenditure 958 7 34 Number of patients 6.309 Nnmbcr of visits THREE SEARS ENDING 1839 Income £772 13 4 Expenditure 9BB 14 5 Number of patients 7,984 Number of visits The CHAIRMAN said he hoped that all would exert ,benaselves to the utmost to procure the institution a good anniversary, as on that they mainly relied. The meeting then broke up. We do not quite understand the cry—" Put a spoon in his mouth." The spoon is seldom out of the mouth of those ghostly gourmands of whose fraternity Mr. Yeates is so egregious a member. Their spoons, too, are gene rally gold spoons, as the reviled Papists know to their dear cost. The " Moloch of Popery," quoth Parson Yeates. Pray is not Moloch as good a god as Mam mon ? What does his Reverence mean by sneering at Moloeh ? Enter now the Presbyterian minister, Johnston, the respondent in the case. He hits his antagonist unmer cifully, and draws a frightfully vivid picture of the atrocious system of warfare acted on by the Orange parsons against the National Board. " The Rev. Mr. Johnston rose to defend himself from this temperate attack made upon him and his congrega tion, because they wished to put their schools in connec tion with the National Board. Mr. Johnston said—Mr. Chairman, I wish it to be understood that I will not cede to any man, much less to Yeates, in cordial hatred to Popery and all her abominations. I consider that the tenets of Popery are erroneous, and damnable, and idolatrous. (Cheers, and cries of 'No Pope.') I preached against purgatory—(Cries of No purgatory' —and I brought Godkin here, and if the poor, benighted Papists were not illuminated, it was not my fault,— (Cries of No, no') What are you doing, then, Yeates ? But you can get up a faction to disturb my plans as patron of this school a 'action that would kill and murder any poor Catholic they ►night meet, when they rush in the state of drunkenness fr;ni the public•houses kept by sonic of the men whom you have brought here to-night.—(Loud cries of 4 Drag him down.' Here a rush was made to put out the lights, whieh was prevented.) I say I hate Popery, but do not hate Papists. But Yeates would cram the Bible down their throats, as lie would put the Thirty-nine Articles down the throats of Presbyterians.—(Great confusion.) How would you like to have the Popish missal crammed down your throat, if you were in unfortunate Spain ? And why think of cramming down .the Bible into other people's throats ? [Rev. Mr. Yeates asked what harm could the Word of God do I say it would choke a man as well as any other book, if it were crammed down his throat against his will. Mr. )(cotes appears to be very sqeamish about the Popish money of a Popish board, with a Popish Archbishop at its head. I never heard of hin►, or one of his very orthodox brethren, expressing their abhorrence of Popish money, when it came in the way of tithes." We see by this that rectors can "get up factions," when they choose, as well as Rockites ; and how does Mr. Johnston, who knows them so well, describe the factions so got up, and in particular that led by Parson Yeates upon the occasion in question ? " A faction that would kill and murder any poor Catholic they might meet, when they rush in a state of drunkenness from the public-houses kept by some of the men whom you have brought here to-night." Compare the worst crimes of Tipperary with the enormities here stated upon excellent authority, as having been familiarly practised by clergymen of the Established Church in Ireland. They hold, however, that the end sanctifies the means—that is to say, drun kenness and homicide are justifiable, when the object aimed at is to defeat so villainous an enterprise as the attempt to educate the people. Several of Mr. Johnston's hits are admirable. He points out in the happiest manner the use which the parsons make of their Bibles and Prayer-books, em ploying the former to choke the Catholics, and the latter to choke the Presbyterians. The sarcasm, too, on the hatred of " Popish money," proclaimed by the parson, is in the best style of repartee.—Morning Chronicle. STATE OF TRADE. MANCHESTER FAILURES. (FRONI A LIVERPOOL CORRESPONDENT.) There is no foundation for the reports of the failures in Manchester being anything near to the amount stated in the London newspapers. The largest does not exceed 60,000/., and the party is not a holder of many railway shares, excepting the Dover line. The only other failure of moment will pay in full. In fact, there was never grosser misrepresentation, than seems, on this occasion, to have been sent to the London press. Since Friday last, much excitement has been caused upon our Exchange, by the occurrence of three failures, one of which caused great surprise, as well as alarm, amongst all classes of persons ; the party being generally considered a man of considerable property, and having maintained his credit in the market un impaired, down to the very day when he stopped payment. Owing to these failures, it was fully expected that the market yesterday would have exhibited a very serious falling-off in demand and in prices, as compared with that of the preceding wee k, We are happy, however, to be enabled to state, that, although the influence of these untoward events was felt to some extent in the morning, the state of business in the afternoon was decidedly better than might have been reasonably expected ; and, upon the whole, a fair business was done at previous prices, a fact which, under the circumstances just mentioned, shows ‘v e greatthineekreyilLtaeos erroneous rightdco r ot i uo n Ns s t et i sa i i, e.ttsaeptt,nae:mav Newspapers statements tt h ts.ah view newdh elsewhere,i eh o i a e correct ionth been at n ti l i a C l e sea x mi t n e e n t t i of the principal failure, that of Mr. Forth. has been very greatly exaggerated. Instead of 400,000/. or 250,0001., both of which sums have been mentioned as the amount of his engagements, we are assured, on the very best authority, that they will certainly not amount to 60,000/., and will most probably not exceed 50,000/. The effect of this failure on the London stock market has been (as will be perceived from our usual extracts from the London Newspapers) great to an ex tent which would be ridiculous, were it not attended with severe loss to many parties. Amongst other consequences produced by it in the metropolis, was a fall of 11/. in the shares of the London and Birming ham, and Si. in those of the Great Western Railway, on the alleged ground that Mr. Forth was a very large holder of those and other shares, which would neces sarily be thrown upon the market by his failure. The fact is, as we are well assured, that Mr. Forth was not the owner of a single share in either of the companies named, and the entire amount of railway stock, of any kind, standing in his name, or belonging to him at th e importance),time of hi s s dido ntx e (chieflyceed 10,0 in n o 01. which, leh v s of e small ba i t l l sf ILA offered all at once, would produce any very s er i ous effect upon the market. With respect to the other two failures that haveaoc curred, they concerna re areof minor said t oc amounts equen t c 0 e. 25,0 T 00 h7 de. ; of the other to 5,000/. ; but neither of them is likely to be productive of any serious consequences in the neighbourhood. We think it right to add, that several reports of further failures circulated yesterday (and amongst them that of a foreign house here) were altogether destitute of foundation.—Manchester Guardian. change in the for and weeks past, espe cially FLANNEL MARKET.

The following is a continuation of the Report of the Commissioners of Charities on these Hospitals ; the first part of which appeared in The Sun of Sept. 4 : Bethlem was originally founded as a convent in the year 1247, by Simon Fitzmary, a citizen of London, and was situated in the parish of St. Botolph-without- Bishopsgate. The period of its conversion into an asylum for lunatics is uncertain ; but an inquisition Liken in the year 1402-3 mentions that six insane persons were then within the house, besides other sick. The house and site were afterwards purchased by the citizens from the Crown, and the government was granted to them by the same charter as that of St. Bar tholomew's. On September 27, 1557, at a General Court of the Governors of the Royal Hospital, it was placed under the management of the Governors of Bridewell, to which it has ever since remained annexed. The present hospital is situate in St. George's- fields, not far from Westminster-bridge. A considerable addition has lately been made to the building. The following is an extract from the Report, relating to an entertainment given on laying the founda tion stone. " The first stone of the new buildings was laid July 26, 183 S, when a public breakfast was given at a cost of 464/. Gs. to the Hospital. At the ensuing November court nine gentlemen were nominated as Governors, on payment of the usual benefaction ; but, as during the ten years immediately preceding, nine Governors exactly have, on an average, been annually elected in the same manner, it cannot be assumed that the benevolence of these individuals was attracted by the publicity thus oc casioned. A narrative of the proceedings was drawn up by Peter Laurie, Esq., L.L.8., one of the Governors, at the request of the Treasurer. It contain!, among other matter, the speech of Sir Peter Laurie, and several ex tracts from documents, some of which form part of this Report. It was afterwards printed by order of the Governors, at an expense of 1401. 9s. to the charity. However valuable and interesting the matter contained in it, the propriety of disbursing so large a sum for this purpose seems questionable, and the same remark applies to the entertainment itself." Both curable and incurable patients are admitted ; the latter being restricted to persons who, after a year's treatment in the house, have been discharged as incur able. Insane criminals are received in two buildings ad jacent to the hospital erected for that purpose by the Government, for whose maintenance and clothing an nual payments are made, which somewhat exceed the expenses incurred on this account. At Christmas, 1836, the endowment of the hospital amounted to 15,8641. Os. 4:ird. Beside the income derived from the real and personal estate of the charity, considerable sums are annually re ceived by way of benefactions, both testamentary and by Governors on their election, and payments are like wise made for the clothing of the curable and for the maintenance and clothing of the incurable patients. The gross annual income of the hospital, taken on en average of ten years ending at Christmas, 1836, was 16,26.31. 14s. Bd. To this may be added the profit made by the rceep ion of criminals. The Report contains a history of the acquisition of the property, comprised in the preceding summary, to gether with separate rentals of each estate, and several tabular statements of the expenditure of the hnspilal for ten years ending at Christmas, 1836. One of the most remarkable heads of expenditure is the outgoings upon the Lincolnshire estate, which in some years have more than absorbed the entire income. It seems that on an average of twenty years the sums carried to the credit of this estate have amounted to 5,283/.133.10d. per annum, of which only 1,6051. 103.6 d. per annum has been applicable to the purposes of the charity. if from this balance we deduct payments made for purchases of land in Lincolnshire, the average balance applied to the purposes of the founder's will is reduced to 1,3031. 16s. 3d. per annum. In the year 1830, the apothecary was dismissed for gross misconduct ; notwithstanding which the sum of 2001. was voted to him as a gratuity, notwithstanding the strong and urgent protest of the President. The following observations relate to the internal ad ministration of the charity : " Within the house, the most striking feature is the want of sufficient occupation for the nice, the greater number of whom may be seen sauntering about the gal leries in listless and hopeless indifference. In the airing grounds some, it is true, may be observed diverting themselves at ball and other games, and a very few are occasionally employed in the lawns and gardens ; and some (chiefly, if' not all criminals) knit gloves and night caps ; but the only general occupation is that of pump ing at the crank and capstan, which, it is evident, is wholly insufficient to furnish the slightest occupation to the mind, or to relieve it for a moment from distressing or melancholy contemplations." At Wakefield, several of the patients are employed as blacksmiths, others as weavers and shoemakers, in which latter trade some have been instructed since their admis sion. At Nottingham one patient works constantly as a house carpenter, and in a field adjoining the asylum. which is hired for the purpose, others are employed in agricultural labour, and arc trusted with pick-axes and similar implements. At Hanwell, to which asylum up wards of 50 acres of land are attached, many are engaged in the fields and gardens, with little or no superintend ence, while others are employed in the workshops, dairies, cowhouses, or stables. In the bowie at Hanwell the manufacture of twine and straw hats furnishes em ployment and amusement to many. A neat and cheer ful work-room is provided for the women, in which the utmost order and decorum prevail. The articles made here are sold to casual visitors, and the proceeds carried to the Adelaide Fund for the relief and assistance of pa tients on quitting the house. One of the patients at Hanwell, desirous of seeing the coronation procession, contrived to make her escape from the Asylum, and having gratified her curiosity, returned of her own ac cord, and requested re-admission. The asylum at Frankfort-on-the-Maine contains a billiard table for the use of the inmates. In some of the rooms the walls are padded, and the floors covered with bedding, for the reception of epileptic patients dur ing their fits. The following extract from the 25th Report of the Royal Lunatic Asylum at Glasgow, shows the system there pursued : " We have commonly had three tailors and as many joiners at work. Various other handicraft operations have occasionally been exercised, and many patients of the labouring classes have been very ready to give their aid to the keepers in the performance of the customary services required in the wards ; but our building opera tions have often rendered our garden and airing grounds too favourable for escape, to admit of much labour being performed by the male patients in the open air. " The females have been employed as formerly, Many of them have laboured diligently in the washing. house and laundry. As much yarn has been spun as, when woven, will supply us with 200 yards of cloth. Sheets, shifts, pillow-slips, towels, flannel dresses, &c., have been made, and some patients have been very in dustriously employed in knitting stockings, socks, and night-caps. Several yards of muslin have been flower ed, and various very handsome articles of fancy-work have been executed by the ladies. " The occupations, however, were of more import ance in promoting the cure of our patients than in add ingc, to our funds." The intellectual employment of all classes of patients in Bethlem appears capable of great extension. During frequent visits to the Hospital, a very small number of the male patients have been observed to occupy them selves in reading, and it was stated by the matron that the women do not, in fact, enjoy the use of the library. In answer to an application to Mr. Thomas, the apothe cary,h on the subject, it was stated by Dr. Monro that ofe has occasionally himself put books into the hands some of the females. At Nottingham and Lincoln the nt Penny and Saturday Magazines are taken in ; .an h the asylum r la t t o te f r urnis ha jointedexcellent maaprhs peae p h ro t. vided, whic ap usaerme At Hanwell prayers are re ad dail y b y the ris'dent b" lion to Dr. Milligan ; an d there appears no o Ji2tion to a similar arrangement a t Bethlem. A sort prayer r ead morning and evening would be not only decorous, but probably beneficial . If attendance in the chapel be thought inconvenient, it might be read in each gallery by the nurse or keeper. The report contains some severe strictures on the want of economy in the administration of both Bride well and Bethlem, and concludes with the following suggestions With regard to Bridewell, it is submitted that the interference of Parliament is desirable to adapt it to the changes which the introduction of Poor-laws, and the lapse ofnearly three centuries, have introduced ; sever j u g it from Betblem, no reason now existing for their union, and placing it in that close connection with the police of the metropolis, which was evidently in the contemplation of its founders. Should the Legislature not interfere, it is at all events to be wished that a more explicit statement should be published of the annual expenditure of both hospitals ; exhibiting at large the salaries of the officers, both internal and external, dis tinguishing the amount of repairs on the pri son, chapel, chaplain's house, hall, and other de partments at Bridewell ; and the wings, as distinguished from centre, at Bethlem ; the payments for journeys, surveys, deputations, and the casual expenses ; and con taining a complete statistical computation of the expe n s e per head of th e pat i ents at Bethlem. th^ priso ne rs at Bridewell, and the inmates of the House of Occupa i tions. The publication of a statement of this nature SPORTING INTELLIGENCE MANCHESTER, TUESDAY EVENINO. On this day week, Mr. Lockwood, according to custom, will decide the greatest northern race run during the sear; but we fear the event will not excite the urual degree of interest. The horses, in any demand, will be found from the following quotations to be extraordinarily few. No thing, it appears, is to have a chance but the pride' of Scott's stable, and the Newmarket horse (bred by Mr. Nowell), Gibraltar. At a very full meeting of both town and country speculators this morning, 60 to 40 was offered on the two; 7 to 4 nearly at the close of business would have been accepted. The " copious odds" of 50 to Ito win some lii.:ndreds, were laid v. Mr. Robinson's St. An drew ; Maroon was backed at our figure. We did not Lear the Champagne Sakes mentioned. A feature in the pro ceedings was "calling over," preparatory to the iutli••ntial speculators leaving for Doncaster.

NOTICE TO MARINERS BOUND TO ALEX. ANDIZIA. The following copy of a Circular is posted at Lloyd's: " Alexandria, August 22, 1840. Sin —Formerly foreign merchant vessels were ad. mitted only into the new, or eastern harbour of Alex andria, and under present circumstances his Highness th• Viceroy, my master, has decided, not only to re•estabiish this custom for the present, but to order that also Otto man merchant v siels shluld be subject to the same regu lations, in order to avoid any mischief that accident, im. prudence, or ill- will, might occasion to the fleet which i 3 in the old, or western harbour. " In the meantime, in order to facilitate as much as pos sible all commercial operations, and the speedy loading of vessels, such merchant vessels will be received into the western harbour as will have discharged the whole of their cargoes in the eastern harbour, and will ask the visit of the Captain of the port appointed by the local autho rities, who will furni►h them with a certificate, cating that the vessels are ready to take in cargoes, and that they have nothing on board in the shape of gunpowder or other inflammables. After such a visit the pilot will cause such vessels to be put under sail, and will conduct them into the old harbour, where an anchorage will be assigned to them. " The vessels that will be entitled to such facilities are to conform to the police regulations of the old harbour. They are to have their colours hoisted regularly during the day time, and they are especially forbidden to put their boats out :rem sunset until sunrise. _ _ " In transmitting to you this communication by order of his Highness, I have the honour of renewing, Sir, the assurance of my high consideration.

The following is an extract of a letter received at Indict, dated d a at ll ed ut s ch rus s s h e i l p s: bound L se lo p y u s t i o;:e September, Holland 8 t a o : from passengert h e East c'n b e FRIDAY, JULY 21, 1840, 3 r at., lat. 5 14 N, long. 26 24 N.—Observed two vessels standiag across our bowl, distant about two miles, on the starboard tack ; one a barque, rather light, about 400 tons, painted ports, a boat barging over her stern. Alongside of the barque was a brig, say 200 tons, ♦ery long, great rake to her masts. Both vessels refused to show colours. The barque bad her royals, top-gallants, and top-sails set, with her main and fore-sail, jibs, Sc. The brig nothing but her two top-sails and top-mast stay-sail; every other sail, even ber courses, were furled, yet with this small quantity of sail she kept sailing round the barque, sometime a bead, sad then backing lisr sails_ and falling astern. The brig ap. peared to have eight guns. The barque was pronounced by all on board of us to be English, from all appearances. It is the general opinion that the brig is a pirate; and from the barque not showing her colours, that the pirate had possession of the barque. " Sever, P.M.—Altered our vessel's course four points, not having the least means of resistance, should the fol low us." 39, A LEENIARLE• STREET, PICCADILLY, AND 76, Ki Pio WILLIAM-STREET, BANK 07 ii:NOLAND.—.. DEAPNILIS AND DEFECTIVE VISION, —A greater proof of this value of the Messrs. S. and B.
