" In this volume we have the autobiographical memoir of a man, whose career in life has been a chequered one, but who, by sheer dint of perseverance, and showing a gallant front to misfortune, had the satisfaction of seeing all his efforts crowned with success. The Memoir is an interesting one, as showing what may be accom plished by energy and good conduct ; and it is written in a cheerful and benevolent strain. As a Medical Herbalist, Mr. Tilke has effected a variety of surprising cures in obstinate cases of gout, rheumatism, and indigestion.

The Work which is now presented to the public is the result of very extended experience in a class of diseases and affec tions, which for some unaccountable reason have been either altogether overlooked, or treated with apathy, and almost in difference, by the ot dinary practitioner. To enter into the details of these affections, to point out their causes, and to mark the terrific consequences, social, moral, and physical, which are sure to follow from indulgence, in certain habits, would be entirely out of place in an advertisement. We have no hesitation, however, in saying that there is no member of society, by whom the book will not be found interesting, whe ther we consider such person to hold the relation of a PA RENT, a PRECEPTOR, or a CLERGYMAN. The PARENT, who beholds his beloved child pining away, and fast approaching to a premature grave, in consequence of some disease, which for want of a careful investigation if 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 oonsumption,h,,art disease, tabes, &c., the sole and exclusive origin has been the indulgence in certain destructive habits, practised by youth much more fre quently than is at all suspected. The PRECEPTOR, also, who holds temporarily, at least the relation and responsibility of a parent, will, by perusing this work, be directed, and very much assisted in investigating and detecting the too often concealed practices so often introduced into schools, whereby the health and ultimately the lives of his pupils are sure to be compromised, unless the evil be checked to 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 delinacy 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 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 out', he disastrous consequences which are sure to follow from them, if not relinquished. :` , letirs.

Sixteen years ago, I told you most truly, in answer to your requisition, that I had no desire for the office of Common Councilman ; but I added that, "as I considered no man ought, or could, live for himself alone, and as each individual was in debted to the community for the comfort and happiness he enjoyed, he was bound, if his neighbours called on him to serve them in any official capacity, to obey their call—sacrificing private and personal interests to public duty." fassure you that it was only in deference to this sense of public duty that I have for 16 years given to Cor poration functions no small portion of time, which was of great pecuniary value to me, expended considerable sums from my own funds, and devoted attention which I could ill spare, from my private concerns. Eight successive years I served you as Common Councilman, and during that time I was elected Maiegawof three important Committees. That .L=am i aelluit my self as a Common Councilman, - yoU adjaged when you chose me to succeed so excellent a man as Robert Waithman, as your Alderman. Upon that occasion , as upon the former, it was you who offered, and not I who asked. Ithen told you, " That having devoted the last 40 years to an active and laborious exertion in my professional duties, I considered that I should best consult my own comfort and happiness by passing the remainder of my days in retirement, and had been making arrangements for that object; but the same sense of duty by which I had been formerly influenced operated upon me then to obey the call of my neighbours ; mid that I had no other ambition, in yielding to your requisition, than that of ad vancing, as I had invariably endeavoured to do, the in terests of humanity, truth, and public freedom." You elected me unanimously. I was shortly after chosen Sheriff. Most of you will recollect that during my year of office circumstances of no ordinary difficulty arose. Radical as my politics were represented to be, I so far possessed the confidence of the Government that the Adjutant-General was authorised to place a military force at my disposal ; and I may say, because there are many who can testify to that fact, that the arrangements I then suggested were chiefly instrumental in rendering the employment of these troops unneces sary. The law was enforced by my colleague and my self, not only without violence, but without the slightest breach of the public peace or indication of disturbance. At the close of our Shrievalty we were honoured with a unanimous and flattering vote of thanks from the Li very for the manner in which we had performed our of ficial duties. I should be unpardonable in thus referring to circum stances of my public life if self-exaltation were my ob ject ; but vilified and traduced as I have been, I con sider it due to you and to myself, when dissolving our long connexion, to revert to the manner in which you have trusted me, and the way in which I have deserved your trust. Accused as I have been of disloyalty—slan dered as I have been as an instigator to disorder, and an abettor of disobedience to the laws—l have a right, I think, to refer to those public acts of my life which re fute such malignant falsehoods, and enable me to treat them with scorn. The object of my enemies—the most unprincipled traducers who ever hounded together to run a man down—was not merely to prevent my election to the Mayoralty, but to do much more than this— to have me rejected by so large a majority that the rejection would be a disgrace—t o have me, as they said, ignominiously scouted from Guildhall. If the most persevering, incessant, and industrious ma lignity, could have accomplished this, it would have been done ; but the Liverymen were too intelligent to be made the tools of so base a party. Gentlemen, I was returned by a large majority upon the show of hands, in the largest Common-hall that has been known of late years. I stood day by day upon the Guildhall huttinga, 06ov—A by eloo most signal marks of public sympathy, and if any one was scouted from those hustings it certainly was not me ; lastly, I polled 2,294 votes, a greater number of Liverymen than was polled by the whole four Reform candidatesupon the last election. True I was beaten,and it is true that I have been denied the honourable office to which your long-continued confidence, and my long-accepted services had given me, according to prescrip tive custom, a right ; but it was equally ,true. that I was twice b as a fitefbreretuprneerdsonby tothefithat , Livery. h t i o g , h th oE the Court, ofAldermen once in 183.5, out of my rotation, and again in 1839. The event proves that I have been treated unjustly. Cant, hypocrisy, ignorance, and slander, are powerful antagonists to contend with, and when I, a man un connected with any party and unbacked byy any faction, fought single-handed against them ; when I compelled my bitterest opponents to eulogize my private charac ter as a citizen, and my public character as a magis trate ; when I proved, before the world, that I had the entire esteem of upwards of two thousand Liverymen and, I might say, a very large majority of my fellow, citizens, I think, Gentlemen, I achieved more honour and vindicated my character better, than if I had, without opposition, been allowed, in regular rotation, to fill the civic chair. My enemies may exult, G en tl emen . I cer t a i n l y h a v e no cause for mortification. I have long since looked forward to the period when I m i g h t expec t t o fill th e office of Lord Mayor with more of regret than plea sure; because, high as the honour unquestionably is, it would be more and than itd h weul cou nterbalanced eve b of those quiet domestic comfo r t s w hi c h const i tute a ll my happiness ; affordedy the m e deprivationgreat satis faction to have voluntarily sought to be relieved from the laborious duties, the ridi cu l ous pageantry, and the senseless ostentation inseparable from the office. I stood the contest, not for the obj ect o f b ecoming Lord Mayor, but in order to silence the calumniators, who said I was unworthy to be so, and would not dare to present my self before the Livery as a candidate. Gentlemen, may you not, in justification of the favours you have bestowed upon me, ask, who among the whole body of Alder men could, upon mere personal grounds, have more successfully, contested for the Mayoralty than the indi vidual whom you selected as your Alderman ? The departure from ordinary p r ec e dent, in my case , must, however, determine my connection with the Cor poration of London. I now, Gentlemen, resign into your hands the trust which you reposed in me, and I venture to say, and to challenge any one to deny, th at f t u h i a ly t tr d u i s s t ba char s been, gey t o u t h utmost of doubtless, power, sel eselect, a ih t my successor, one who possesses more ability to serve you ; but you will find no one who has ever felt a greater re (Yard for the honour and interests of your Ward and the City of London generally, than, Gentlemen, your old and faithful servant, Ingress Abbey, Kent, JAMES HARMER . Nov. 11, 1840. WHAT ARE MINISTERS DOING ? " VERY FEW CAN TELL." (From the Spectator.) In very large letters above " the leader" of The Sun Newspaper, advertising a map projected by that inge nious publication, appears this heading :—" War with China. Where is China ? Very few can tell." The same might with at least equal force and truth be pre dicated of the belligerent demonstrations of our rulers, both in Europe and Asia:--" What is all this?—Very few can tell." The bloodshed and the expenditure of our operations in Syria are bad enough ; and the, risk—not yet got over—of an eventual war with France, is worse. But even a war with France is an evil the extent of which might be calculated by an approximate conjecture ; whereas the hostile proceedings of the further Asia are of a nature to lead to consequences which bailie all con jecture. We are there embarking in an enterprise of which it is impossible to foretell where it may or may not carry us. There can with regard to it be no cal culation of means to ends—no estimate as to whether the undertaking lies within our power—for no one knows what that undertaking is. Our territories in Hindostan have been extended from a paltry district round Calcutta till they embrace the whole of the Indian Peninsula. When we look back on the history of their acquisition, we can point out no period at which the progress of our territorial acquisitions could have been arrested with any assurance of our being able to retain what we had already ac quired. Our career in India can only be compared to the proceedings of a man acting under a spell which doomed him to heap treasure upon treasure, and not to desist, even when he began to be haunted with the fear of being crushed and suffocated under his accumula tions. We have been constantly protesting that our possessions in India were too extensive, and regretting the necessity which compelled us to extend them, and going on to extend them still further. The first foot of land we acquired in Hindostan involved us in the poli tics of a half-civilized race ; we felt that we must either relinquish it, or defend it by that aggressive policy, that mixture of treachery and force, which was brought to bear upon us by the native chiefs. Our more advanced civilization has hitherto enabled us to defeat all ene mies, but has not enabled us to escape subjection to their system. In our Indian policy we have been re duced to the level of their knowledge and morality. It is this consideration which renders our present operations in China and Afghanistan so alarming. They are necessary consequences of our Indian policy : as the acquisition of Calcutta could only be maintained by the conquest of the whole peninsula, so it would seem the possession of the wide empire bounded by the Indus and the Ganges can only be maintained by annexing to it neighbouring empires, each of them equalling itself in extent. According to the latest news from China, one British squadron has blockaded the Canton River, and another has been despatched to the northward to occupy a post at the mouth of the Yellow River. These operations will make us masters of the two principal entrances to China from the sea. The avowed object of them is, by stopping the whole export and coasting trade of China, to excite disaffection against the Chinese Government ; and ,to promote this end, assurances of amity and pro tection to the inhabitants are distributed along the coast. What does the British Government anticipate or con jecture is to be the result of these operations? 'When and where are they to terminate ? Is it in its power to limit their duration or extent ? Can it say with cer tainty that they will not leave the government of China upon its hands? or that, having undertaken the task of governing China for a time, it will be in its power to give it up again ? Our operations against China are not confin e d t o those of aggression ; the Anglo - Indian Government feels the necessity of placing its own frontier in a state of defence. Between us and the Nepaulese, on the northern frontier of our Indian dominions, there exists but a hollow truce ; and so strong is the apprehension entertained by the British authorities of an attack from the combined forces of China and Nepaul, that an army of observation has been stationed on that frontier. Simultaneously with these proceedings, we are rapidly extending our operations to the west of the Indus. In Afghanistan we and our puppet King possess not a foot of land beyond what is covered by the range of our cannon. In Beloochistan our first successes have been reversed, and it is found necessary to despatch addi tional forces from Bombay to the Indus. Suspicions are entertained of the attachment of the Governor of Herat ; and it is proposed to occupy that city (800 miles in advance of our Indian frontier) by a British garrison. We are :maintaining and daily adding to two large armaments, carrying on war in China, and in the terri tories lying between. the Indus and Persia. We are maintaining an army of observation on the northern fron tiers of Hindostan. And while thus engaged in exter nal war, it is discovered that the plots against the British Government lately detected and defeated in Kurnaul and Sattara, had wider ramifications, and seem to have received encouragement and support from the Seiks, a warlike people who occupy an extensive and difficult territory between our Indian frontier and our army in Afghanistan. We have every prospect, there fore, of being obliged to maintain our position by force of arms against external and internal enemies at the same time. In addition to this, our stoppage of the China trade is likely to produce misunderstanding between us and the Americans, and indeed all nations in the habit of trading to China ; while on the other hand, our oc cupation of Herat will bring us into direct collision with the Shah of Persia, strengthened by Russian sub sidies, if not by Russian soldiers. With these tremendous issures in the range of pos sibility, is it fitting that the English nation continue to repose a blind and unquestioning confidence in Lord Palmerston and Sir John Hobhouse ? Is it not im peratively called to demand from the Government an explicit statement, what is the extent of operations con templated ? what are the objects proposed to be attained? what are the means by which it is proposed to attain them? The interest and the honour of Great Britain require that we should no longer allow ourselves to be in our Indian relations the mere slaves of circumstances. The interest and honour of Great Britain require that before engaging beyond power of retreat in extensive and costly hostilities, we should inquire whether we possess the power to follow out our undertaking to a successful issue, and whether engaging in it be consis tent With sound morality. WELLINGTON MILITARY MEMORIAL.—It is expected that the equestrian statue in bronze of his Grace the Duke of Wellington will be completed by Mr. Wyatt, the sculptor, in 1843, he contracting, in 1839, to execute the figure in four years. It is said that the statue Will be erected on the triumphal arch at the entrance of Hyde -park, and adjoining Apsley house, the residence of th e Noble Duke. The Duke of Rutland is Chairman and Sir F. Trench Vice-Chairman of the Committee fo , uperintending the erection of the Memorial. NEW CATHOLIC CHAPEL.—We observe an appeal made to the public for aid to build a chapel on the enclosed piece of ground near Bethlehem Hospital, St. George's Fields, running along the high road to the Ele phant and Castle. Many thousand Catholics, chiefly of the poorest class, inhabit the Borough, and the parishes of Camberwell, Newington, and Lambeth, who are at pre sent much neglected. MISFORTUNE AND DEATH.—On Wednesday week the office houses at the farm of Bogg, parish of Cromdale, tenanted by Mr. Allen Grant, caught fire, and were nearly all ccnsumed, though fortunately the cattle were saved. In removing the horses, Mr. Grant re ceived a kick from one of the animals, in consequence of which he expired, after great suffering, on the Sunday following. This double calamity has left a numerous family in the greatest destitution and distress.—lnter. ness Courier. TEMPERANCE V. DRUNKENNESS.—The " Ex ecutive Council" of the British and Foreign Temperance Society have issued a circular addressed to drunkards, in which they state that there arc no less than 600,000 habitual drunkards in this kingdom, of which 57,000 die annually, giving an average of 157 per day. The magis trates and medical men declare that three-fourths of the crimes, &c , are committed by persons excited by liquor. The cost of those intoxicating draughts is 50 millions per annum. By the exertions of the advocates of temperance 200,000 have been reclaimed, and have not only abandoned their drunken habits, but have become attendants at the different places of religious worship. As this praise worthy Society does not impose the tee:otalling clause, there is every reason to believe its endeavours will ulti mately be crowned with success, to the advantage of the individual and the community at large. The refusal of funeral rites to the child of a Wesleyan parishioner, by the Rev. Mr. Snowdon, of Charlton parish, next Dover, has been already published in the public prints. The body has been for about three eeks soldered in a zinc coffin, and was 01 1 Tuesday per mitted to be buried in the churchyard, near its deceased relatives ; the Wesleyan service being performed by one of their ministers outside the walls of the burial ground-- the minister of the parish attending at the time in the vestry to observe the proceedings.—Kent Herald. TYPHUS FEVER.— This dreadful disease !has begun to assume a serious aspect in some parts of Hudders field and its vicinity. Several malignant cases are calling loudly on the authorities to insist on a rigorous system of cleanliness. In some of the dwellings of the humbler classes, especially the Irish, the filthiness is intolerable, and excites no surprise that disease is engendered. In fact, some habitations are so disgusting, that the Catholic priest, tho Rev. Dr. Trappes, felt it his duty on Tuesday week to make a representation to the sitting Nlagistrates concerning them. Hopes are entertained th a t the Commissione rs, who have the po w e r, will take steps of a preventive nature, in the hope of checking a violation so calamitous. PRICE sd. THE BRITISH AND AUSTRALA- SIAN BANK. On Saturday a meeting of the Shareholders of the British and Australasian Bank took place at the Bank. Several reporters applied for admission, but were as sured that the meeting was intended for the Sharehold ers alone. Mr. THOMAS, the solicitor to the establishment, who declared at the Mansion-house, that everything con nected with the Bank should be as public as possible, warmly urged the propriety of admitting the press, parti cularly as such important statements had been made al ready to the public, and he was convinced that fair play would be given on an occasion where answers might be expected to be made. One of the persons who appeared to be in authority, if we may judge from the dramatic tone in which he spoke, however, settled the business, by declaring that he would not open his mouth if any person from the newspapers remained in the room. Mr. THONIAS said that a gentleman attended from Mr. Ashurst, the solicitor, to take short-hand notes of what occurred. The Man-in-authority—That person in particular must be objected to. Neither Mr. Ashurst, nor any body from Mr. Ashurst, shall come in here. Mr. Boucher, it was said, wished that the reporters should be present ; but it was evident that be did not press the matter, as no doubt if he were is lined for publicity he would have had it, in spite of ad the rest of the directors whoever they were. When the reporters were excluded there were about fourteen or fifteen persons i❑ the room. Mr. PATCH, a barrister and shareholder, was called to the Chair. The proceedings were, we understand, rather of an extraordinary character. We were, of course, obliged to collect the substance from some of those who were present, and who described to us, in a round-about and desultory manner, what took place. It will be recollected that, about twelve months ago, a complaint was made against Mr. Boucher, as con nected with the Chatham Bank, on an occasion when a Swiss received a letter of credit for 40/., payable at the British and Australasian Bank, No. 55, Moorgate street, and that Mr. Boucher readily appeared, and de nounced the agency of Mr. Gough, the manager of the Chatham Bank, declaring that the British and Aus tralasian Bank had no connexion whatever with that concern beyond the mere agency as regarded the sale of shares, and stating that Mr. Gough was largely in debt to the Moorgate•street establishment, the direc tors of which were very desirous to know where he was to be found. Mr. GouGH was, we are given to understand, the first person who rose to address the Chairman as soon as the proceedings commenced. He stated that he was a shareholder to the amount of (>451., and that he came forward in that character, as well as to wipe away the imputation cast upon him by Mr. Boucher in the denial of his agency, and the refusal to recognise the dealings which that gentleman had himself originated and sanctioned in a manner the most indisputable. Mr. Boucher had repudiated any connection with the Chatham Bank, after having introduced it to the world under the following circumstances :—He (Mr. Gough) having purchased shares in the British and Australasian Bank, and having learned that it was their intention to extend its colonial business very considerably, ap plied to Mr. Boucher for an appointment as Secre tary at one of the stations, well knowing that, from his habits, and age, and activity, he was qualified to conduct any important branch. To that application Mr. Boucher replied in the most flattering manner, by representing that such capabilities as were offered for carrying on a bank in the colony might be more bene ficially exercised nearer horns, and immediately pro posed the Chatham agency, which was, in the be lief that the British and Australasian Bank was a bona fide establishment, accepted and undertaken. The following was the official letter which he received from Mr. Boucher on the appointment : EVENING EDITION. present ? Mr. Boucher replied, very carelessly, that he had not the slightest objection, and the Shareholder's friend was admitted. But his presence was immediately objected to by the Scotch gentleman. "No one can be admitted here except a Shareholder. This is a pri vate meeting, at which none but Shareholders can be present. But if that gentleman (the Shareholder's friend) will purchase a single share, ho may remain." Mr. Frederick Boucher, the Managing Director, did not offer any opposition to the Scotch gentleman's decision, and the Shareholder's friend, not being very eager to purchase a share, withdrew. It was now one o'clock, and there were present about a dozen Shareholders and Directors, and ten gentlemen from the public press. The latter were requested by one of the clerks to " withdraw for a few minutes." They did so. While waiting in the office, a gentleman, who stated himself to be a shareholder to a considerable amount, arrived with his solicitor, but the latter was refused ad mission. It is but justice to state that Mr. Thomas, the solcitor to the establishment, who, it will be recol lected, declared at the Mansio❑ House that every pos sible means of publicity should be given to every thing connected with the bank, strongly urged the propriety of permitting the press to remain ; he was convinced, ho said, that the proceedings would be most impartially sent forth to the public. A gentleman (it is believed the scotch gentleman) declared that he would not open his mouth if any person connected with the press re mained in the room. He was told by Mr. Thomas that a gentleman attended from Mr. Ashurst, the soli citor, to take short-hand notes of the proceedings. The Scotch gentleman said " That person in particular must be objected to. Neither Mr. Ashurst, nor any body from Mr. Ashurst, shall come in here." This decisive mode of dealing with the press was conclusive, and the managing director, Mr. Boucher, left the room and informed the reporters in waiting that " the meet ing was one of proprietors, to which the public press would not be admitted." THE POLISH REFUGEES'. On Saturday the Polish Entertainment Committee assembled most numerously in the Guildhall, for the purpose of concluding the arrangements for the splendid ball and concert, appointed for to-morrow night. The attractions, in all that regards decorations, music, and re freshments, have been considerably increased, in conse quence of the hopes entertained that the presence of Prince Albert will render more memorable the success of the appeal in behalf of the exiles. When his Royal Highness came to the Guildhall to be sworn in as a freeman of the city of London, he frequently, amidst the acclamation with which he was hailed by his fellow-citizens, expressed to Sir Chapman Marshal, the late Lord Mayor, his regret that he could not accept the invitation to the Mansion-house ; and he subsequently communicated, through his Secretary, his assurance that he should speedily repeat his visit, at the same time declaring his deep sense of the generous and enthusiastic reception with which he was distinguished. The Committee, anxious to do ample justice to the cause in which they are engaged, adopted the sugges tion of Mr. King, the able Chairman, who conducted •14./.• that day's proceedings to take measures to make it known to the Prince, that his Royal Highness's pre sence at the ball would be hailed with peculiar delight, as the most grateful evidence of the estimatio❑ in which he held his pledge. Some of the members were of opinion that a deputa- tion to his Royal Highness would most properly repre sent the sentiments and wishes of the Committee,_while others thought it would be more advisable to communi cate indirectly and privately on the subject, as the Com mittee might not be considered justified in making such on application without the formal authority of the Cor poration. To the latter opinion the great majority agreed, and it was unanimously resolved that Lord Dudley Stuart should himself express the fervent wishes of those who represented the unhappy exiles to the Prince, and state the nature of the advantages which would be the undoubted consequence. Mr. PEACOCK, the Chairman of the Polish Ball Committee declared that if Prince Albert would accept their humble invitation, he knew that even for the tickets which he bad already paid for he should, in some cases, receive three or four times, and in others ten times the amount. He had but half an hour before received ten guineas from Sir James Shaw, and twelve guineas from Mr. Moxey for two tickets.—(Loud cheers.) He had also received smaller sums from gentlemen wido had sent back the tickets transmitted to theta to be disposed of to others, in order that too great a number might not be issued to the inconvenience of the humane con tributors, who should attend to enjoy the very glorious scene which would present itself.—(Cheers.) Lord DUDLEY STUART most willingly undertook the office of requesting an interview with Prince Albert, and expressed his warmest thanks again to the Committee, collectively and individually, for their unwearied exer tions in the cause of the Poles ; the lives of many of them actually depended upon those exertions. Mr. Richard Graves M'Donnell, the Honorary Se cretary to the Literary Institution for the Relief of the Poles, Mr. Potter, Mr. Lott, and Mr. King, were ap pointed Masters of the Ceremonies. The Committee adjourned at five o'clock. INDISTINCT VISION.—It behoves all who value the importance of that wonderful piece of " divine mechanism," the eye, to adopt every means to strengthen and preserve it, particularly when those means are within reach, and the results from their application are both de lightful and immediately felt.

" 55, Moorgate-street, London, May 7, 1839. " Sin,—l am instructed to acquaint you that the Directors of this bank have resolved upon appointing you to conduct the Chatham agency for them, and that they will hereafter inform you fully as to the terms and conditions which will be thereunto annexe,l.

I shall shortly address you more at length, and, in the meantime, I remain, Sir, your obe dient servant, " FRED. BOUCHER, Managing Director. " E. T. Gough, Esq." He (Mr. Gough) found, after he had done a great deal of business for the bank in Moorgate-street, that Mr. Boucher was determined merely to use him for his convenience, and to refuse to honour the drafts which were drawn upon the establishment, to excuse himself from doing which, he repudiated all connection with the Chatham bank. The CHAIRMAN admitted, we understand, that there appeared to be no just ground of imputation against Mr. Gough in the transaction. Some conversation then took place amongst the di rectors and shareholders on the subject of the prospects of the establishment, which were said to be flourishing, and it was unanimously agreed that the bills which had come back unpaid from Adelaide should be forthwith discharged, with ten per cent. interest upon them ; or if that amount of interest were not acceptable, with a fur ther increase of five per cent. making 15 per cent. We did not hear that any explanation was given as to the 28,0001. stated by Mr. Boucher to be in the hands of Messrs. Walker, of Sydney. The meeting adjourned for a fortnight. (From the Morning Herald.) On Saturday a meeting of the Shareholders of the above Bank, convened by public advertisement, was held in one of the small rooms of the establishment, in Moorgate-street. The meeting was called in conse quence of the proceedings which have recently taken place:at the Mansion-house, respecting the refusal of the Bank to acknowledge the agency of Mr. Charles Boucher, in certain transactions in New South Wales. The meeting was convened at twelve for one o'clock. At half-past twelve the only persons present were Mr. Frederick Boucher and another gentleman. Mr. Boucher expressed himself extremely indignant at the " false statements" respecting " the British and Aus tralasian Bank" which had found their way into the newspapers, and placed in the hands of our reporter a letter he had written to the editor of an evening news paper, calling upon the latter to give it immediate in sertion in answer to some alleged false and libelous charges which had been published in the said Jour nal, on the 12th instant. In that letter, the Editor of the Evening Paper was informed that " the British and Australasian Bank" had transacted business in various places to a considerable amount, without a single case of irregularity. The agency of Mr. Charles Boucher, in the matters brought before the Lord Mayor at the Mansion-house, was repudiated ; "the British and Australasian Bank" was declared to be as respectable, in every way, as the other banks con nected with Australasia ; and an intimation was given, that unless the said letter was inserted in the said even ing paper, the Solicitors of the Company would be in structed to commence legal proceedings against it. This letter was signed " Frederick Boucher, managing di rector," and in a postscript, the editor was called upon to give up the name of a person who had written a letter signed " Vindex," that had appeared in the journal al luded to. The name was required in order that the Company might proceed against " Vindex" for " a wilful and malicious libel," Mr. Frederick Boucher was asked if a voluminous correspondence, as hinted at in the morning journals, was likely to be read? He an swered in the negative, observing, that any parties who might be desirous to withdraw from the Company would be allowed to do so upon equitable terms. At about a quarter to one o'clock four or five persons had arrived, one of them a respectable-looking woman, who appeared to be labouring under extreme uneasiness, and it was understood that she was told not to be in the least degree alarmed as she was perfectly safe. What the cause of her alarm was did not transpire, and. i t will be seen that the way in which the business of th e day was carried on did not afford the reporter an op . . portunity of ascertaining whether the lady had any real ground of alarm or uneasiness, or not. Shortly before one o'clock a gentleman of very ma gisterial manners, and who appeared from his pronun. ciation to be a Scotchman, entered the room, and im mediately began a conversation with the mantic'' , 'aPsl:_frved (as director. He inquired of the latter whether he haidarsoldoi.: the article in the morning journals of that day res e the bank.—(The article appeared in the herald sting turday.)

On Saturday afternoon a respectable jury was em panelled before Mr. Baker, at the Coopers' Arms, Gol den-lane, Old-street, to inquire into the circumstance attending the death of Mary Dale, aped two years and four months, who was alleged to have had improper me dicine administered to her. Edward Dale, No. 126, Golden-lane, shoemaker, the father of the deceased, stated that last Saturday week, she was attacked with the smallpox in a natural way. Her mother took her to Mr. Ling, a surgeon, living in Whiteeross-street, who ordered that she should be kept warm. On the Tuesday following his wife got an order from Hamlin, the relieving overseer of St. Luke's, for the assistance of Mr. J. C. Powell, the parish surgeon, who saw his child the following afternoon (Wednesday), between three and four o'clock, and who saw her daily after that. His child was treated according to the doc tor's directions. On Friday, Mr. Powell came, and seeing that the disease was on the turn, and finding that the bowels were out of order, he directed his wife to go to his shop for some medicine. She went there and re turned with a phial, containing some medicine. It had a new label on, and on two previous occasions the phials were sent without any additional labels. Mr. Powell observed that his patients generally bring the same phial, and that, were there are so fresh directions, the mode of taking it is supposed to be continued. Some of the Jury dissented from such a prnetieg, and observed that the label should always be renewed. The witness, in continuation, said that the same phial had no alteration of directions when the medicine was changed. When his wife brought the phial on Friday night, she said that it was administered differently from what was on the label. [The phial was produced.) It had a new label on it, and the witness stated that the old label was taken off on Sunday night, about ten minutes before the child died, by Mr. Powell's assist ant, and who put on the nen- one. The old label was to the effect that two teaspoonsful were to be taken every four hours. (The new one was in the same terms.) On Friday night his wife said that one table spoonful was to be given immediately, and on the follow ing- day one table spoonful more every four hours. As soon as the child took the medicine it appeared affected. In an hour after a black scum came upon her teeth. Her mother cleaned them, but they were soon black again. Before she took the medicine she was cheerful, but she afterwards lost her speech. She continued in that state till Saturday afternoon. The next morning, at half-past seven o'clock, the child had a second table spoonful. and at half-past twelve o'clock a third table spoonful, which was contrary to witness's wish. Mr Powell came on Saturday afternoon, and asked if the child bad taken the powder be bad ordered, when wit.. ness said that no powder was sent ; and, upon being told that the medicine was not all administered, he ob served that it should have been all taken by that time. He looked at the medicine, and afterwards told him (witness) to send his wife for other medicine. By the CORONER—On the Wednesday Mr. Powell observed that he had doubt about the child, but on Friday he said that the disease had a favourable appear. I ance. Mr. Powell here admitted that the quantity given to the deceased was much beyond what ought to bi.tve been given. Elizabeth Dale, the mother, said that after the medi cine was taken she saw Mr. Powell's assistant, who gava her the medicine, when he said to her that it was singu lar that he should give her Green's medicine for her child, and he then asked her—ls not your name @f reen ? Witness said, no. Mrs. Green came in at the time. Upon Mrs. Green coming in, he said that they wera• heal very much alike. By a Juror—The words of the assistant were, that "it was very strange that I should give Green's mcdif.tine for a child that has the small-pox." The Foreman asked if they could not examine ale lad who gave the medicine ? The CORONER said he thought not. The law said, that if there was a want of due caution, it was m a p_ :daughter. K Juror said that perhaps they might adjourn for a post mortem examination. Mr. Powell remarked, that he was anxious that that should take place. He was satisfied as to the entire propriety of the medicine, which was nearly similar to what he would have prescribed. The great mi ste Ice wa in the quantity. The inquiry was then adjourned till to-morrov STATE OF STOCKPORT.—AIthough Ole con dition of Stockport has somewhat improved da ring the last few months, yet the number of empty moral' .ings and cotton mills in the borough is perhaps greater t han ever was before known. All the mills which are occupied are now at full work ; but there are, in the borough of Stock port at the present time, nine mills wholly uno yes spied, and several others but partially occupied. It is coml. ,uted that there are 2,630 dwellings empty in the borough, viz. : In the townships of Stockport and Brinningtos 1, 1,600 ; Heaton Norris, 830 ; Cheadle Bulkeley, 130 ; and Cheadle Moseley, 40. From the Hillgate Chapel to Lancashire Bridge, a distance of about 600 yards, which may be said to be the most frequented part of the b orough, and which, previous to the opening of the We llington Road, was the principal road through the town, tl are are twenty-five shops and one public-house unocctspied.— Maszchester Guardian. EXTRAORDINARY DEPRESSION OF TIRE BA aomETER.—.We have to notice a fall in the barom, :ter com mencing ou Thursday night, and continuing du :ring the whole of yesterday, greater in extent, and we believe more rapid, titan any that has been known for the last / :wo years. On Thursday morning a barometer in the open air, but in the centre of the lowa, was at 29'42; and al- out seven o'clock in the evening it had only undergone a very slight depression, the mercury standing at 29.40. But during the night of Thursday it fell rapidly, and at eikv ht o'clock yesterday morning was at 28.75, and the ma cury con tinued sinking to eight o'clock last night when it stood at 18'2'4' ; so that the mercury tell .55 during Thu' rsday night, .50 more within twelve hours yesterday, rnakb ig a fall of one inch. and five hundreths within the twenq -four hours. During the night of Thursday there was a 'nigh wind, a little to the north of east; and, in all probr.bility, this sud den fall and great depression of the baro,Aeter is the indi cation of a great storm ir, some tinarter.
