The advantages of this plan are— I. It acts imperceptibly. 2. It does not require care or confinement. 3. It removes at once any impurities which, if suffered to re main, would accumulate and produce illness. 4. It does not cause languor, prostration of strength, or cos tiveness, so often felt after a black draught or any other strong cathartic. 5. It is most agreeable to take. The flavour is delicious. 6. It is much cheaper. One bottle will last a considerable Price 21. 9d. Sole Agent, H. Schooling, 139, Fenchurch street. To be had by order of all Medicine Venders.

SLOAN and CO., Members of the Royal College of Surgeons, 4, ARGYLL-PLACE, REGENT-STREET, and 28, IRONMONGER-LANE, CHEAPSIDE, may be consulted from Eight o'Clock in the Morning until Ten at Night, on every variety and stage of Syphilis, with that delicacy and secresy they have hitherto ob served. The treatment they pursue will not subject any patient to confinement or hindrance from business. Cases of an ex treme nature they eradicate in eight or ten days, or if slight or recent in two or three, without the indiscriminate use of mer cury, and at a moderate expense. Generative flebility, Gonorrhoea, and Strictures of the Urethra, unhappily so preva lent, are treated upon those unerring principles which have in sured to Messrs. Sloan and Co. so large a share of public pa tronage for nearly thirty years in London, and which it will be their future exertion to maintain. Letters, containing an enclosure will be answered by return and patients, however distant., wil be cerresnonded with until raeovered. I N cases of s ecrec y consu lt t h e TREATISE 1_ on every stage and symptom of the VENEREAL DIS. EASE, in its mild and most alarming forms, just published by Messrs. Perry and Co., Surgeons, 4, Great Charles-street, Birmingham, and 44, Albion-street, Leeds. The above invaluable little work is given gratis with each box of PERRY'S PURIFYING SPECIFIC PILLS, price 2s. 9d., 4s. 6d., and I Is., containing a full description of the above complaint, illustrated by Engravings, showing the dif ferent stages of this deplorable and often fatal disease, as well as the dreadful consequences arising from the use of Mercury. The causes, symptoms, and baneful effects of Lues Venerea, Gonorrhoea, Strictures, Seminal Weakness, &c , are explained in a f, , miliar manner ; to which are added very extensive prac tical observations on sexual debility, brought on by a delusive habit, all its attendant sympathies considered, and the whole illustrated by striking cases, accompanied with full and explicit directions fur au effectual and speedy cure, with ease, secrecy, and safety, without the aid of medicial assistance; it also con tains many hints and advice well worth knowing. PERRY'S PURIFYING SPECIFIC PILLS, price2s. 9d., 4s. 6d., and I Is. per box, is the most certain and effectual cure ever discovered, for every stage and symptom of the Venereal Disease, in both sexes, including Gonorrhoea, Gleets, Se condary Symptoms, Strictures, Seminal Weakness, Deficiency, and all Diseases of the Urinary Passages, without loss of time, confinement, or hindrance from business; they have effected the most surprising cures, not only in recent and severe cases, but when salivation and all other means have failed. It is a melancholy fact that thousands fall victims to this horrid disease, owing to the unskilfulness of illiterate men, who, by the use of that deadly poison, mercury, ruin the con stitution, cause ulceration, blotches on the head, face, and body, slimness of sight, noise in the ears, deafness, obstinate gleets, nodes on the shin bones, ulcerated sore throats, diseased nose, with nocturnal pains in the head and limbs, till, at length, a general debility and decay of the constitution ensues, and a me lancholy death puts a period to their dreadful sufferings. Messrs. Perry and Co., Surgeons, may be consulted at No. 4, Great Charles-street, Birmingham, and 44, Albion-street, Leeds. Oily one personal visit is required from a country patient, to give such advice as will be the means of effecting a permanent and effectul cure, after all other means have proved ineffectual. Letters for advice must be post. paid, and contain the usual fee of one pound. tphrous sian Germans ROME, cha r O agte C ßd i o ' , . 19 . --Baron Von Ruch, the PERRY'S CORDIAL BALM of SYRIACUM is intended m A e ff :di h r a e s s , s t u o dd th en e ly no o s b m ta a in ll ed sn l r e p a r v i eseof of a all b to relieve those persons who, by an immoderate indulgence o , f r ie c r o a n b s ie tit s u t t a so te n, n o r r e in aff tl e r e e t ir ed waj ,it t n o theirthe consummation passions, sense, and will set out for Germany on Thursday next.

RUTLANDSHIRE REGISTRATION (FROM A CORRESPONDENT.) The statements made in the Tory papers as to this Regii,tration are devoid of truth. The result of the registration this year, so f a r from aiding the Tories, gives an increase of votes in favour of the Liberals. The Tory candidate (Mr. Dauncey) has not the shadow of a shade of chance. He cannot come within hundreds of either of the two Liberal candidates. It is true that the decision of the Barrister on the forty-five Langham votes was (as last year) against the Liberals, but that decision is so contrary to law, that even if the Tories could come near enough to try the question, no Committee would listen to it. That decision is unsup ported by any writer on property law, or election law, and is contrary to the last decision of the Committee of the House of Commons. It is against the written opinions of the three greatest coaveyancers in England, Duval, Jarman, and Hayes, and the best Parliamentary counsel, Harrison, Austen, and Thessiger. Th ese six opinions taken upon the case, were produced to the'Barris ter in Court. The like opinions of the best election writers were also cited—viz., Peckwell, Rogers, Stephens, El liott, and others. But all such authority appeared use less. It was proved that Mr. Andrews, twenty-three years ago, fairly bought and paid for part of a close of freehold land (sold and divided into many parts) ; that he had ever since regularly received the rents, and been in possession of his own conveyance ; that it was a good investment ; that he could mortgage or sell it ; and the value was admitted to be ample. In short, as the Bar rister said, " there was nothing fraudulent or collusive in the transaction." Yet, notwithstanding all these facts, and in the face of all these talented opinions and authorities, the Barrister (a Mr. Richardson) decided that it was within the Splitting Act, and he struck that and forty-four other Liberal claims out. The same Barrister, at the same time, and at the same place, decided that three Tories of the name of Walford (living in London), who in January last bought one single cottage between them, situate in Oakham, which they had never seen, and which was avowedly boughs for three votes, was not within the Splitting Act !! Two Wynnes also claimed for two votes for Rev. H. Finch's cottages, and they were allowed. No proof was given of the existence of such men. They signed no claim themselves, nor did they personally authorise any one to do it for them ; they did not sign their con veyances. Mr. Heneage Finch signed receipts for the purchase-money, and the attesting witness to the re ceipt swore that he saw no money paid. Mr. Finch held the deeds ; the tenants never heard of a change of landlords before the registration. The Barrister ad journed the case for the attendance of the Rev. Mr. Finch, but he did not appear for examination—and yet the votes were allowed ! The Rev. Mr. Mould, also a Tory clergyman, claimed for a bullock hovel. The seller said he received a check for the money on the last day of January last, but could not say on what banker it was drawn, when he received the money, nor how ho received it, whether through his banker or his custo mers, or otherwise, and admitted, that, though he kept a cash-book ,this amount was not entered. No evidence was shown that Mr. Mould kept a banking account, and evidence was offered to prove that he did not keep one within the prescribed distance. He was at Oak barn, keeping school, and would not make his appear ance in Court, though he bad notice to do so ; and yet the vote was allowed I All these decisions may no doubt please the Tories, and it must be admitted, that though they are quite unimportant as to the result of any election, they are pregnant with instruction and usefulness. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. MANCHESTER, TUESDAY EVENING. Rather contrary to expectation, the room was but mode rately attended this forenoon, which may perhaps be attri buted to the middle and smaller classes of speculators being rather out in their calculations on the recent New market meetings, for assuredly the round betters have wound up the season with a strong pull in their favour ; consequently, something like breathing time must be given, before the backers of horses for the Derby race are to be met with at every angle. After some money had changed hands, a few engagements were made with seve ral offers-3 to 1 (twice over) in hundreds were offered against Scott's lot ; 4 to 1 would willingly have been pen cilled down. Colonel Peel's lot was a good deal spoken of; 12 to 1 was wanted in a first-rate quarter; 220 to 10 was repeatedly offered against the ex-premier out of that stable. After some attempts to obtain 10 to 1, 8- to 1 was accepted to a couple of scores on Eringo and Rosalie ; the former we consider left off first favourite, 100 to 6 was taken ; 200 to 11 was the top offer against the latter, 20 to 1 was asked for. At one part of the morning Ralph was offered to be backed against Rosalie for 100 ; but we think 20 to I would willingly, at the close, have been ac cepted against Lord Albemarle's Son of Dr. Syntax. There was a proposal to take " the Tattersall's quotation" on Coronation, but no business ; 20 to 1 was taken to a little sum on Marshal Soult ; that figure might after wards, without difficulty, we think, have been got on at the close of the room, when another horse out of Scott's stable was backed in a good channel, viz., the Duke of Wellington, at 500 to 16. Brother to Phosphorus, Wahab, and one or two others, were named, but, to our ear, not backed. Nor was there any call for the pencils upon any turf event. INTELLIGENCE EXTRA. FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAL ( From the Morning Chronicle.) We have received by express, the Paris journals of Tuesday, with letters from our correspondents. The French press is reduced to rather a pitiable dilemma. Every organ of it, with the exception, perhaps, of the Presse, sounded the trumpet of war when it was hinted that Ibraham was to be expelled from Syria by coercion. M. Thiers declared the coercion either in sufficient—that is, a mere puerile attempt to disturb the colossal force of Ibraham—or dangerous, that is to s ay, requiring the march of a Russian array _into Asia Minor. No persons have ever been proved to be more completely wrong than the French Minister Ind the French press. Never was deliberation en lightened by so little foresight, arguments with so little logic and truth, and measures with so little apropos and effect. Had some envious sorcerer cast a charm over the statesmen and the political writers of France—a charm which was to destroy their foresight, derange their intellects, eradicate common sense, and lead them to conclusions and resolves the most irrational and inept— such a charm could not have produced a different re sult from what we see. Accordingly, we see the greater number of the French Journals engaged in reciprocal recrimination. The Constitulionnel declares that it was all Marshal Souk's fault ; the Debals replies that it is all M. Thieve'. Each month the Journals have been obliged to bring award a-new - bugbear. First, we were told that all attempts at coercion would prove vain ; that Ibrahim must pass the Taurus and put Asia in a flame ; that Russia must send fleets and armies, without which coercion was idle. All this, we need not say, has proved false. Then we were told that Eng land was engaged in a foolish crusade ; that it was not her interest to enter into such plans, and Mar Lord Palmerston had betrayed his country. On the con trary, we arc now told that it is a deep-laid scheme for the exclusive interest of England, that Syria is to be i treated like India, and Emir Beschir to be another King 1 of Oude. There is not a single supposition in the whole range of possibilities that has not been brought forth and proved to the satisfaction of the French public. (From the Times.) M. Guizot has come into office to amend the policy of M. Tillers, not implicitly to follow it. He has come into office to render the course of the French Govern ment more worthy of a sagacious and pacific monarch, more palatable to the civilized and enlightened (majority we hope and trust) of the French nation, but less wel come, tor it must inevitably be so, to the disturbers of peaceful Europe and of France herself. Under such circumstances, do we ask too much on behalf of the Administration of M. Guizot to bespeak for it '° fair play" at the hands of the people of England, before they pronounce an adverse judgment upon any of his pre• liminary measures, in what regards the great question now at issue before Europe? When we desire that our Ministers may meet France in a spirit of sincere conci liation, and with a view to adjust existing differences fairly, we speak not of the turbulent, insolent, aggressive section of the French people, whose schemes we know are iniquitous, and their demands only stimulated by concession. It is not that dark phasis of French cha racter which we can ever hope to brighten, or that trou bled and tormenting spirit which, by reason or justice, we can ever aspire to compose. (From the Morning Herald.) If Mehemet Ali's power in Syria were crushed, if his sway over that country were utterly ruined, as the Palmerston journals, Whig and Tory, represent, it is certainly very strange, as was well remarked in out City article yesterday, that Emir Bechir, in his defection from Mehemet, should embark with 15 persons of his family and 11.5 of his followers on board British vessels. Why fly from a country which was then in the power of •the very invaders to whom Emir Bechir deserted ? When Alaroto betrayed the Carlist cause in Spain he did not find it necessary to get out of the country on board an English vessel, because the Carlist power was gone the Carlist party were ruined. If he had done so we should have inferred that he had been compelled to fly. What has beco:ne of Emir Bechir's 8,000 troops ? Has he left them behind without a head, while he comes over to England to consult with Lord Palmerston ? Consult about what ? If Syria is conquered by the British and their Allies, what is there to consult. about ? But if he has fled for refuge, how can Sy r i a have been conquered ? (From the Morning Part.) Now that the Turco4gyptiari affair - seems-not un likely to settle itself, Without. that esbnira, ta w: specific of a European war, for which th e revelutroraiy French doctors have been so anxious, we may begin to con sider what useful lessons should be drawn from all that has occurred on this subject - sittee'' tho Treaty of the 1 5t h. J u ly. In the first place, we ll-i n f ormed persons seem to be of opinion that the fever into which it pleased France to put herself upon the instigation of M. Thiers, an d t h e war lik e prepa rations consequent thereup on , h ave cost t h e F renc h nation not far short of twenty millions of pounds sterling. We suppose the Chamber of Deputies will think it necessary to inquire with consider able strictness whether the honour and glory of France could not have been as well maintained at rather a cheaper rate. The question will naturally occur, " What substantial good has been gained at all this cost ?' We belong to that school in politics which holds that national honour and national glory are to be accounted a substantial good, and therefore, if the outlay was necessary to the former, we admit the latter to have been attained. But still the question of the necessity recurs. We think that the Allies would not have done more than they have done, and could scarcely have done less, had France not gone to the expense of a single franc in warlike preparati ons . What, then, has France ga i ne d by the expense ? .No thing but the loss of so m uc h wealth, which, if she be bursting with riche s , s h e may perhaps thinkk a good thing. The same outlay of money, however , would have made a r a il way from Havre to Lyons, ' and have left plenty to sp are f or contingencies. (From the Morning Adverager.) By the recent succes s an d rapid progress of the Anglo-Turkish arms in Syria, which have already rescued nearly the whole of the disputed territory from the gripe of Mehemet Ali, and deprived his son Ibrahim of all means of prolonging the contest with e the slightest chance of suc cess , t h e v it a l quest i on of Peace or War may be regard e d as sa ti s f ac t or ily so l ve d . That France has not now th e s h a d ow of a p re t ext f or taking arms against England or E uro p e , we h ave t h e evidence of an authority no l ess conc lusive th an t h at l of M. Thiers himself. The m a i n , if not the only mo tive assigned by M. Thiers for France refusing to co trtehaetymoefanLso p n r d o o p n o , w e This motive can now no longer exi st . The treat y i s andoperadtaen in ee t ' h oef already all but executed without the occurrence of any of the contingencies against which M. Thiers expres se d g so much apprehension. Mehemet , flu s h e d with success, is not rushing upon Constantinople, nor is M Rus sia pouring down her hordes for its plundering protec sd as for the its ' ‘ inadequacy execution, tion. In his last note to Lord Palmerston, M. M. Thiers distinctly stated that the Sy r i a n question " might safely be left to the chances o f wa r," and these c h ances having now decided against the usurpation of Mehemet Ali, it would be nothing less than an act of wanton and shameless incendiarism on the part of France to recal her own professions, and to appeal to arms from the arbitrement of that chance by which she stated her willingness to abide, or to hurl a firebrand amongst the Cabinets of Eur o p e by ro.opening the question of a treaty, to which her objection to be a party the in.. adequacy and danger of the means proposed for its exe. cution—is already removed.

Mr. S:trachan, f a lli ng ag ainst the side of a lamp -post, fractured his head in a shocking manner i he was removed home in a coach. The groom escaped without receiving any injury. r ' The English Delegates in Paris have communicated to us the following Report, with a request that we would publish it : MM. Odillon Barrot, Gamier Pages, and several other Members of the Chamber of Deputies, gave an interview on Wednesday to the gentlemen composing the English Delegation, to express to item their regret that it was not in their power at that moment, as they at first intended, to give a public banquet in honour of the Delegation's mission, which had be,n prevented by the sudden ch ange i n he composition of the French Cabinet. The change in their first purpose the French Depu ties thus explained to the English Delegates. On the arrival of the Delegates in Paris, the Hon. Deputies entertained th e h o p e that the French Govern ment would not be slow in tearing to pieces the Treaty of the 15th of July ; bat at present the case was very different., The question was no longer exclusively one of foreign politics. They were now of opinion that the French Government would submit to the Treaty ; conse sequently, in their case, the question had become one of internal policy. In this state of things the Hon. De puties were of opinion that to receive publicly an Eng lish delegation charged with the expressi.m of a wish for peace between France and England would be to sanc tion the conduct of the French Government, which had presumed to accede to the pacific alliance on terms dishonourable to the French nation. 'So, had there been no chance of peace, the peace delegation would have been received with junketings by I Odillon Bar ret and his friends - but as peace is lik e ly t o b e preserve d , b e they roocl are turned Attwoo off and Co.--ED. suN ff'ash hungry astbey.jmuch as went! Alas I they wished the maintenance of the honour and interests of France, they felt that they would be wanting to themselves in giving reception to an English deputation to manifest friendship for a nation whose interests and honour were not compromised in tli'e same way as those of France. Their sincere support was given to the late Cabinet in its efforts to maintain friendly relations with England, and even to re-establish the alliance between the two countries, but on a basis widely different from the fatal Treaty of the 15th of July. Any alliane,s between the two Governments recognising that Treaty, would be, as the English• delegates had themselves admitted, based on the treason of England, and as the F. ench Deputies conceived, on the dishonour of France. England was betra) ed by her Cabinet, and France was upon the eve of being so too. Any political manifestation on the part of the French Deputia, would be an abetting of that treason. These were the rea sons which obliged the French Deputies to aban don their design of publicly manifestiag their kind feelings towards England. Any demonstration of the kind might seem to others a dishonest compromise. The representatives of the gre a t ma j or i ty o f the French na Lion, entertaining the sentiments of ;.hat majority, could neither approve, nor appear indifferent, to any al liance founded on the Treaty of July, witeout outraging the national sentiment. Therefore, unde: such circupi stances, a public manifestation, such as the proposed banquet, would, so far from charming the passions of the people, only serve to excite them, ana perhaps pro voke disorders. It would certainly militate against the end they had is view. For all these reasons the French Deputies regarded a public dinner as not only imprudent but dangerous, and begged t o d ec li ne g i v i ng one. The English Delegation combated the views of the French Deputies, and maintained that the change in the French Ministry in no way interfered with the great object of their mission. We have not space at present for Mr. Charles Attivood's speech, but we can well be lieve that men who professed their enmity to England heard it with pleasure. In the mouth infamous. an English man in Parii it was disgraceful—it was How men like Odillon Barrot and Gamier Pages must have despised the man who could basely cast every insult heaped upon himself upon the fair fame of the glorious land of his nativity ! EXPERIMENTS WITH rrHIRT Y. TWO-POUNDER GUNS AND SHELLS AT WOOLWICH. t is a curious fact that a thirty•two-pounder ball, of nearly six inches in diameter, when fired through the timbers of 'a ship, scarcely makes a hcle larger than might be momentarily repaired by the cmpenter with a piece of wood of the thickness of a middle-sized walking-stick. This is accounted for by the velo locity of the ball passing through causing the wood to collapse to nearly its original state. It was an nounced a few weeks ago that the French had been trying experiments with a ball, or rather shell, wl.ich, on its en tering the side of a vessel, tore the timber to pieces in all directions ; and they prided themselves on the idea that they would, by this means, have great advantage over the English in the event of actual hostilities com mencing betwixt France and Great Britain. They must not, however, " halloo before they are out of the wood," as this country is better prepared to meet them on this identical point than they are aware of. It is now about eight years since a scientific gentle man, who has made many important iawrovements in firearms, tried experiments which convinced him that it was possible to make shells of such a construction that they would explode the moment 'hey came in contact with the object aimed at, whether it was a distance of fifty or five hundred yards, cr any range within the power of the gun from which the shell might be propelled. This gentleman submitted his views in 1632 to the Board of Ordnance, but as the coun try was at peace with all the world, and no prospect of any difference with the other great Powers, the members of the Board did not consider themselves justified in re commending the expense that would be incurred, although it might be but trifling, for the purpose of perfecting the plan submitted to them. Highly to the Hnour of in dividual liberality, a gentleman of fortune, to whom the circumstance was mentioned, offered a range of three miles on his grounds, and stated that the invention should be perfected if it cost 30,0001. The inventor accordingly set to work, and succeeded to the utmost extent of his wishes in makinga shell which had the desired effect on its strikin g th e o bj ect w i t h one o f i ts s id es, w hi c l i t i nvar i a b ly did; but as the peace of the country and friendly assurances from Foreign Powers were secured without having re course to arms, the invention has remained dormant for a considerable period. Recent events have, how ever, changed the aspect of affairs, and the Board of Ordnance have within the last few weeks had several experiments made with this description of shell, and its effects have exceeded their most sanguine expecta tions. The only reason for further experimc its being ne cessary, previous to its general introduction as an engine of destruction for the use of the British army and navy, is a desire on the part of the Board of Ord nance to have the shells of a spherical shape, as that form would answer the purpose much better, being more familiar to the men employed on large guns. The inventor has acceded to the wishes of the Board, the members of which have given orders for the construc tion of a new target at the butt in the mat.shes sixteen feet larger than the one formerly in use, and of the strongest materials. They have also given orders that some of the most able and experienJed gunners of the Royal Artillery be in readiness to accompany the inventor, and assist in the experiments about to be made in the course of the week, if the weather proves favourable. The experiment will be made from V-pounder guns, a new battery having been erected, on which six of these pieces have been mounted, as they are most generally used in the British service. The inventor is perfectly satisfied of being able to ef fect the object desired by the Board of Ordnance, and has no doubt the shells will answer equally well in a spherical form as those already completed. Those only who have seen the effects and the shattered state of the best and hardest timber on being struck could believe such damage could be done by such apparently simple means.

His Lordship entirely concurred with the sentiments cxpresscd by the deput at i on , a nd kinily offered to afford every assistance in hit power, and suggested the propriety of a conference with his successor, whom be felt assured could aid the cause. A public meeting is shortly to take place at the Guildhall, and no less than sine hun dred gentlemen, of the first respectability have enrolled themselves as members. Anew religious sect, from the United States, calling themselv es " Latter-day Saints," or " Mor monitcs," have just pitched their tents in Glouces tershire, for the purpose of plundering the ignorant people in the neighbourhood of the palaces and ca thedral of the Bishop of that diocese ; and, from all accounts, they have been but too successful. These Mormonites are twelve ix number, like the Apostles. They have a Bible of their own (or rather a second edition of that Bible handed down to us by the Patriarchs and Apostles), in which it is declared that they are the Apostles and Prophets of the Church of the latter days, the only t rue an d li v i ng Church on the face of the earth, and as such they tell the flocks of the learned clergy of the diocese of Gloucester and 13ristol, that God has not revealed in the Bible all that is sufficient to salvation, and that they are commissioned to declare to them a new revelation, wherein is the fulness of the Gospel. This tale has been eagerly swallowed by the ignorant multitude. Captain D. L. St. Clair, a gentleman of the neighbourhood, who has for some time been performing tile Work which ought to have been done by the clergy, and attempting to reclaim them from the most degraded condition of human beings, gives this account of the success of the Mormo nites :—." From my own knowledge," says he, in a little tract addressed to these deluded people, " they have plundered three families in Herefordshire, and left them in a state of most abject poverty ; one, a respectable farmer, has paid to them 200/., and two families in the parish of Bosley hare given th em every shilling they p ossesse d, and will probably b e obliged to go into the Union House, havin g nothing, left but the clothes on their backs. In corrobora tion of this statement have they not obtained money from you, and what becomes of the money, some times amounting to 101. a night, collected at their gatherings ?" We thought the followers of South cote, and Irving, and Thorn were the most deluded of human beings, but it appears they arc surpassed in ignorance and folly by the men of Gloucester, who believe in this new Bible, who give away their property to these false Apostles, who are baptized anew in the hope that they shall live with Christ on the banks of the Mississippi, in glory and happiness, for a thousand years ! We do not rest tins statement, however, on the evidence of a layman. One of the clergymen of the district has come forward in the vain hope of un deceiving these benighted men, whom the bishops and clergy call Christians and Protestants. Mr. Morris!), pastor of Leelbury, thus describes the ignorance of the people, and the delusion practised on them I am well aware of the manner in which you are led astray. Many of y.,u, I believe, are simple-minded Christians, really anxious about the salvation of your souls, but at the same time you are not sufficiently "grounded in the faith ;"—you are unstable and waver ing, and therefore you run after these men, desiring " to hear some new thing." Well —you attend one of their meetings, and some one of their preachers gets up— takes a text from your own Bible to cover his designs, and pours forth for half an hour a terrent of words, — text after text,—passage after passage,—talks a little about baptism, —a little about Christ's second coming,— and (if there is no one present likely to contradict his statements) a little about New Jerusalem and America : he utters all this so rapidly that you are not able to hear, much less to understand, one half; but you do know that a great deal of it is taken out of the Bible,and therefore you go away quite satisfied that all must be true because it is Scripture." But this is all rational conduct, compared with the delusions which Captain St. Clair describes in another part of his tract. The following account of this new Bible, and the deplorable ignorance of the people placed under the immediate wings of a father of the Church, will be new to most of our readers, and, though rather long, will be read with interest and astonishment :- 6' I understand, from the hearers of these preachers, that they tell diff e rent t a l es of the revelation they have received, both as to its origin and contents. In some places, they state the book to have been discovered by them under a stone, and those who find it are Pro phets; but the book itself gives a different account ; Isometimes their followers are to be conveyed to the New Jerusalem in a flying strip, to alight en the top of Coombe Hill, which you all know is 500 feet above Cie level of the sea : all arc to get into this ship, and on its departure Gloucestershire is to be burnt up : at other times, the sea is to divide ; a road, with a brick wall on one side, and water on the other, is to be formed for you to pass over to America, the land of promise. Now, my good friends, you may not know that it is 2,000 miles to America ; and the Atlantic Ocean, through which you must pass, is four miles deep ; so that the brick wall will be four miles high ; I hope, for your sakes, more than one brick thick. They have also or dained persons, who can neither read nor write, priests after the order of Aaron, in direct opposition to that gospel which they pretend to preach ; and one of these priests had the folly and presumption to tell a farmer, an acquaintance of my own, that, if he and his family did not receive baptism from him, they must all be damned ; they also say, if all the blood be drawn out of your veins, and the spirit be poured in, you would be come spiritual bodies, and live for a thousand years. What utter nonsense ! and how contrary to Scripture! God says, " Dust thou art, and unto dust thou shalt ret urn ;" and our Saviour declares " that which is born of the flesh, is flesh." 1 should have doubted your be lieving such lies, had I not known of dozens being bap tized, as an evidence of their faith. " The Book of Mormon, now before me, which I have hed great difficulty in obtaining, printed by Oliver Cowdry, at Kirtland, Ohio, a slave settlement, bordering on Ken tucky, the land of invention, in America, is said to be handed down by an angel from God, to Oliver Cowdry, David Whitener, and Martin Harris, in the presence of eight other witnesses, Christian Whitener, Jacob Whit mer, Peter Whitener, John Whiturer, Hiram Page, Joseph Smith, Hiram Smith, Samuel H. Smith ; and 5,000 copies of the same were printed. You will ob serve, that it is not mentioned where this event hap pened, or the residence of these persons. Parts of thil book are complete nonsense, though written in imita. tion of Scriptural language, and interlarded with pas. sages from the Old and New Testaments,—a most dan. serous work in the hands of those who are not weL read in the Bible." We learn, in addition, that so late as the 29th of last month, ten poor persons were baptized in the parish of Boddington ; and that upwards of five hundred in the neighbouring parishes have joined these Saints, and this, too, within from two to eight miles of the Cathedral of Gloucester, whose Bishop has now two palaces to reside in, besides a prebendal house at Westminster, in Dean's-yard, and two rcctorages, in all about 9,0001. a year. Has this Bishop, so Well paid for attending to the flock, done anything to abate this ignorance ? Is it not the fact that there are not fewer than eighty non-resident clergy under him—that there are eighty-six in the commission of the peace—that, until lately, the Chairman of the Quarter Sessions was a Reverend Doctor—that the neglect of the clergy is proverbial—that at Quarter Ses sions there ire frequently more clergy than laity at the dinner table ; and that ignorance is so great, that not one adult in fifty of the rural population can read ? Can we wonder that these unfortunate creatures are led away by every " wind of doctrine," and that the, gaols and mad-houses are.•filled with the victims of ignorance and super stition ? The IVlormonites were wise in their ge titration in squatting upon this diocese, and in all probability their next remove will be to the diocese of Canterbury, the land of the Thomites, ce l e brated for the number of its clergy, the vast income of its Prelate, and the ignorance of its Christian population.

ENGLISH OPERA.---We are pleased to perceive that the Promenade Concerts given at this theatre begin to draw more favourably on publi c attention. On Monday and Tuesday the audience was both numerous and respect able, and seemed to be much gratified with the entertain ment, that was afforded them. In the second part of the performance a solo was beautifully executed on the violin, by Mr. Thirlwall, and with great success. This gentle man plays with an i ntensity, and, at the some time,with a delicacy of f ee li ng rarely to be met with, and his acquire ments, we trust, will insure f or hi m a l ea ding pos ition amongst our Englishviolinists . The band at this theatre may rea sonably to s usta i n i ts hi gh character, an d w t hope th at t h ese concerts, for the rest theofehe h seasaoyne, success than m:y be atten d e d with better hitherto experienced. The Times yesterday, with that eagerness to vilify the Admiralty, which has of late brought it into two or three scrapes, published, after the Ship. ping Gazelle, a memorial of certain shipwrights of Sheerness, setting forth a case of apparent hard ship. We are happy to inform the Times that if it had waited for another post, and if the ship wrights had waited for an answer from the Admi ralty, before communicating their memorial to the public, both would have f o und that Whig econo my was agreeable to the wishes and complaints of the shipwrights. They state in their memorial that they were engaged on the .3th of September to ex pedite the fitting of the Monarch by working extra hours, but that after so working, they had not, up to the 30th of October, been paid the wages they had been promised, and which Sir John Hill had guaranteed to them. They have now been paid ; at least orders, we understand, have been sent to pay them. The delay arose in this wav : Whenever a ship is to be repaired, an estimate is ' sent to the Ad miralty of the probable expense. After the repairs of the Monarch were completed, a discrepancy be tween the actual expense and the estimate gave rise to a suspicion that there was some mistake, and that more work had been charged for than had actually been done. An investigation was accordingly instituted into the accounts, and a little error was detected. Till that investigation was completed, the arrears due to the men were withheld ; and, as they are paid, we believe, in part, by the job, the supposition of an error was a good reason for hav ing that cleared up before the wages were paid. It has been cleared up ; and had the memorial of the shipwrights not been published before the an. swer of the Admiralty had reached them, it would most probably have nsver seen the light, and the Times would have wanted another occasion for a fling at « ‘Vhig economy and justice." - iVe have been at the trouble of endeavouring to ascertain the facts of the case, because we know the shipwright s to be a most valuable body of men, whose services cannot be dispensed with, and whose zeal it is of the utmost importance to encourage. From what we have above stated, we are convinced that economy was not more studied than is necessary, and that neither slight nor injus tice was intended to them. Whenever they receive such injustice, our pages shall be open to defend them ; but they will allow us to suggest that it is scarcely decorous to the Board they memorialise to publish, or allow their complaints to be published, before those complaints have been answered, and before they know whether they are to receive re• dress or not. An appeal always lies to the public, when redress is denied ; and before that is the case, the public should not be appealed to. We hope the shipwrights, or any other class, will not be led by the tirades of the Tories into making querulous and unfounded appeals to the public, which can only injure themselves. We are strenuous advocates for paying this valu able class of workmen well. By giving a reason able remuneration, and not a very large one, to policemen, the authorities have the choice of the whole of the unskilled labourers of the country for that service. 'There are far mere candidates to enter the force than can receive places. In like manner we would have the wages of shipwrights so high in her Majesty's dockyards that it should be considered a favour to get a berth in them. The certainty of employment there, the certainty of a su perannuation provi s ion, an d o th er little privileges, make it necessary only to give as good wages in her Majesty's dockyards as are given in the mer chants' yards, to obtain as many shipwrights as are required. Iligher wages than this are not warranted, and the Admiralty would neglect their duty to the country if they gave them. From what we have heard we believe that the wages now given in her Majesty's yards are on the whole better than the wages in merchants' yards, and sufficient to induce men to leave the latter for the former. Owing to our timber duties, according to the Re port of the Import Duties Committee, the ship building trade is very fast declining in this country. Our merchants have their ships built in the colo nies. There is comparatively little, or certainly not a brisk demand for shipwrights in the mer chants' yards ; and when the Government lately offered to take on more in her Majesty's yards, contrary to what has been stated in some papers it obtained as many, we have heard, as it chose to employ. In fact, it did not take all who offered, but selected men of the best character. The ship wrights will know better than we do whether these statements be correct ; but if they be, it will surely only be prudent in them, while they stthmit to no injustice, not to make the newspapers the vehicles for publishing unansweredand unfounded complaints. -- LETTER FROM Loup MEL BOURNE. There is one very characteristic letter of our present Premier (then, in 1820, the Hon. William Lamb), on the ill-advised prosecution of Queen Caroline ; which, on account of its admirable good sense, and wise and practical foresight, we think will be read with interest, even at the present day : I see the danger as clearly, and in as strong a light as you do, but 1 do not see any step that can be taken with a rational hope or prospect of averting it. I met Mr. Rumbold, the Member for Yarmouth, in the street yesterday, who, like all other rational persons, or rather like all other persons, for I never witnessed so general an apprehension, is much alarmed ; and he told me that he had seen you at Lord Carrington's, and that your idea was, that there should be county meetings, to petition the Crown and the Parliament to put a stop to the whole inquiry. However desirable such a course might have been at the beginning, it is impossible not to see that there are great difficulties attending upon it in the present state of the affair, now that the Crown has already instituted, and the House of Lords is pledged to prosecute, the investigation. But the weightiest objection to such a measure appears to me the extreme uncertainty of the result of such meetings, and the doubt whether they would not tend to inflame and excite, rather than to tranquillise discontent and irritation. Supposing that in some few counties the influence of the gentlemen, &c., might be sufficient to procure the adoption of wise and temperate resolutions, there would be great danger in far the greater number that other counsels and other feeling s would prevail. A spirit of oppo s iti on wou ld be excite d ; the same mis representations would take plaCe as in the case•of your motion ; it would be said to be all dune in concert with, and in subservience to, the views of the Ministry ; the Queen would be exhorted and encouraged to ac cede to nothing ; the whole attempt would be unsuc cessful, and leave nothing behind it but more violent heats and increased unpopularity to the authors of it. These are considerations which press strongly upon my mind : But lam conscious that perhaps I am too de spairing in matters of this nature, and lean too much to the side of doing nothing, and awaiting Me course of events. If there were a fair opening of success, the object is so great, that it would be trtfh cowardice not to hazard something for it. I should be most glad to hear from you upon the subject, and so much do esteem your opi n i on , t h at I shall this night write to ed wi t Onet e to o iscomnsousltt him u p on im subject,pthreess p L e o r r il d ol l? t a h c e re c , ri l s v i h s7 misfortune is, that if anything of this sort were advis able, it should have been set about long before. There is now hardly time enough le t fFor effectual measures of this nature. There is also a very great difficulty, which attends all situations as that in which we are at present place d , and I cannot but suggest it for your consideration. I admit that there appears to me to be great danger o serious popular tumult and insurrection. I admit it to you, but I should be very loth to admit it generally, or to persons of whose judgment I had not a high o pinion ; because nothing aggravates danger of this' kind so mach as confessing fear, It encourages those from whose the d anger proceeds, and may almost be said to thatno r duce th e very ev i l it apprehends.
