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 et 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 t• 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 •f its real cause, has been set down to the score of consumption, will, on perusing this work be astonished to find that in nine tenths of the cases of young persons of both sexes, who perish of what is called pulmonary consumption, heart disease, tabes, &c., the sole and exclusive origin has been the indulgence in certain destructive habits, practised by youth much more fre quently than is at all suspected. The PRECEPTOR, also, who holds temporarily, at least the relation and responsibility of a parent, will, by perusing this work, be directed, and very much assisted in investigating and detecting the too often concealed practice. so often introduced into schools, whereby the health and ultin.ately the lives of his pupils are sure to be compromised, unless the evil be checked in proper time. He will here find a clue to guide him through the intricate mazes of this moral labyrinth, and a standard whereby to judge, when delicacy of health should appear to attack any of his young charges, what the real cause of such attack may be, and thus he will be enabled to check the evil in its incipient state. The CLERGYMAN, in whose sacred character, is at once concentrated the twofold relation cf parent and instructor, will here be directed as to the nature of those habits, to which youth is addicted; be will also be enabled to point out the disastrous consequences which arc sure to follow from them, if not relinquished.

Martin (Coroner for the borough) and a highly respect able Jury, upon the body of Mr. William Glover, of the firm of Hopkins and Glover, shipping insurance brokers, of Change-alley, Cornhill, who was found dead on Satur day morning in a shed close to the Great Park, from the effects of a pistol bullet, which had entered his head at the right temple and come out at the opposite side. The first witness examined was Ann Bartlett, keeper of the Pheasants beer•shop, close to the shed in which the deceased was discovered. She stated that on Friday afternoon the deceased entered her taproom, where he had two glasses of ale ; and after reading a newspaper, and inquiring about the funeral:of the late Princess Au gusta (which took place the same evening), he left at 6 o'clock, after staying about half an hour. Witness ob served nothing extraordinary in his conduct. aa 3.tioug him ; John Taylor, a carpenter, who was building the shed i n out close to the Magpie style , leading to the Park, in which sixdiscovered,th o'clo c k on S atur d ay morn deposed, thAt when he w down, and, thi n ki ng h e was but, r ece i v i ng no answer , reg e unnti d ki te c ,o c si e wiae a lo‘ s ,cr e ka d al laemvt(vi. l past he went close to him, when he found him lying on his left side, with his face upwards, covered with coagulated blood. He had firmly graved in his right hand a discharged pistol, and there was a bullet-hole in his right temple. He was quite cold, and appeared to have been dead some hours. His cravat, hat, and walk ing-stick, were lying by his side. Witness then went for the police, leaving him in charge of a sawyer who was at work close by. Henry Sexton, the policeman who was called in by the preceding witness, stated that he had the deceased taken to the Adelaide Hotel, where he searched the body, upon which he found a bunch of keys, gloves, several letters and invoices, the Times newspaper of Friday, a silver snuff-box, and 7s. 6d. in silver. There was also a two-ounce packet of gunpowder, from which a small portion had been taken. In a Pocket-book there was a blank check on his bankers, (Williams, Deacon, and Co.), and a small scrap of writing paper, on which was written, in pencil, the following: William Glover, Homerton-terrace, Hackney, and Change-alley, Cornhill. Take me to the Adelaide, as I am known to Mr. Oliver, and Mr. Barton, upholsterer, High-street." It appeared that the deceased had not been to the Adelaide ; but he had been seen in Win lsor just previously to the funeral procession of the late Princess Augusta arriving there on Friday evening. Mr. E. Bagster, a nephew of the wife of the deceased, stated that he had resided with Mr. Glover, at his house at Homerton-terrace, Hackney, during the last three years and a half. The deceased, who was se venty-one years of age, was formerly in a very extensive way of business, but latterly he had transacted but very littte. Until lately witness thought him to be very wealthy, and he was considered to be so by all his friends. Ho has now money at his banker's. Until within the last three weeks, when he first complained of giddiness and pains in his head), he appeared as usual; but since that ho has been very reserved, and when any of his old friends have called upon him he appeared annoyed, not liking to see them. On Sunday witness observed something exceedingly strange in his behaviour. Latterly he has not attended business so regularly and punctually as usual. Witness breakfasted with him at eight o'clock on Friday last, and he then appeared more cheerful than he had been for the two or three days preceding ; but lie said nothing about going to Windsor. He had no children. He had not had any losses lately in business. The paper produced was in the handwriting of deceased. Charles Walker Ford, who had been clerk to the de ce;sed for the last five years, deposed to his regular habits of business until with;n the last fortnight, when he observed a great change. He had not been to 'Cliange•alley but once (and then he stayed only five minutes) since that day fortnight. He then tried to avoid every person he met who knew him, especially in passing the Marine Insurance-office and Lloyd's. This witness then produ te d a letter written to to him by the deceased a day or t wo before he left town, re lating to matters of business, in which he requested wit ness to inform Messrs. Elliott, the brewers, who had applied to him, that he had been out of town for a week, and would not return for some days. The letter then o ent on to state, that his nights were sleepless, and that he was almost distracted, and expressing a hope that his bankers had discounted a small bill which had ....... in been paid for that purpose. This being the whole of the evidence, the Coroner briefly addressed the Jury, who returned a verdict of " Temporary insanity." ATTEMPTED ASSASSINATION AT OXFORD. On Saturday last William Davey, a young man o dashing appearance, attired in a military cloak and cap, and wearing mustachios underwent a final examinatio n in the Magistrates' loom in the County Gaol of Ox ford, before Mr. W. AshurstrChairman of the Oxford Quarter Sessions, and a full Bench of Magistrates, en a charge of shooting at with intent to murder Mr. J ohn Davey, a gentlemen of ind e p endent p ro p ert y , re siding . at Dorchester, in Oxfordshire. The prosecutor, who is between sixty an d seventy years of age, and who, while giving his evidence, seemed greatly affected, being sworn, stated that the prisoner was his nephew and heir-at-law. el eee was twenty-three years of age, and on attaining his majority came into the possession of a good fortune, whi c h h e had squandered away in dissipation in London. ga ve him 401., and advice as to his About three weeks back the prisoner came unexpectedly down to Dorchester, and, waiting upon witness, asked him to give him some money.

MONE le MARKET and CITY NEWS. (MONDAY EVENING.) CHRONICLE.—Taking all the 'bellicose demon strations into consideration, and the unavoidable ex pense with which they have been already attended (supposing even that it was not to increase), and the consequent demand for money which must ensue, we are not to feel surprised that the Bank of England should show no disposition to increase their liabilities. The groat fault we always had to find with the policy of the Bank parlour has been that they have been too tardy in having recourse to stringent measures, so that when they did proceed on a restrictive policy the action was too violent and sudden, attended with great com mercial embarrassment and a convulsion in the Money Market. We have on that principle lately, more than once, expressed our disappointment that the rumours so venerally believed of their basing sold a portion of the " dead weight" annuities proved to be incorrect, but we arc confident, nevertheless, that the Directors have not been inattentive to the exigencies of the times, and that they have been preparing themselves by a course of judicious measures to grapple with any emergency. We have never hesitated to give expression to the very general opinion entertained, that the Bank Directors have been averse to curtail their circulation until the eleventh hour, in times past, in consequence of a desire to preserve the value of Bank Stock, which is coincident with a high rate of dividends, thus showing the incom patibility of their public and private interests. But at the same time we are not blind to both sides of tie question, and are bound to allow due weight to the statements put forth by the Directors, that they are always desirous to afford every possible facility to trade ; and that if they have erred in times past, their fault has been committed from a too generous desire to benefit the public. We must take things.as they are, and judge of them accordingly. The system under which the Bank of England acts may he defective. Few, if any, will dispute that it is so ; hut, until that system is changed, We must make fair allowances for its imper fections, and not confuse the fault of the principle &th the manner of its execution. TIMES.—The accounts from Alexandria have tended much to remove the prevailing apprehensions respecting the route through Egypt, which the Pacha (whose wisdom and moderation in this respect have ac quired for him the highest credit with the mercantile interest of this countr) ) has shown no disposition to in terrupt, whatever his feeling may be at the course taken towards him. The state of Sydney is described as alarming, so many robberies and other crimes have seldom been committed. An Act called the Bushranging Act, designed for giving security against naaurauders, is much discussed. By this Act any man may seize and detain another who is detected with fire-arms in his possession. The Governor refers to the Act as the great means of preventing excess of crime, and while he acknowledges the magnitude of the offences com mitted, he considers they exist through the conni vance of the settlers themselves, who neglect the Bushranging Act, by which the power of coercion is put into their own hands. The sound policy of this Act is, however, much questioned, and the settlers desire more efficient protection from the Government. At present, it is said, they are afraid of defending their own property, because by wounding a burglar they would become the marked objects of vengeance to every marauder in the colony. Again, if neighbours joined together to hunt down the robbers, it is said that there would be no security to the families left at home. The death of his cattle, the destruction of his premises by fire, the murder of his servants, might a ll awa i t t h e settler who showed himself active against the marau ders. The recommendation by the Governor to the settlers to take the law into their own hands has for the reasons above stated caused the greatest indignation. lie has threatened, in the event of further disturbance, to remove the convicts elsewhere, and thus deprive the settlers of the advantages of convict labour. The set tt h l e r r e s a d t a n t o t i , a h t o h w e e i v a e a r r , n s a e i s e m t h t a o t a b p e p m e aurc to h t r e e r p r i r fi e e s d e t a t t i t t h e r s feelings satisfaction is expressed at such a prospect of etting rid of a vicious population. The Port Philip papers mention a requisition signed by a number of merchants, convening a meeting of dick inhabitants for the purpose of memorializing the Go vernment for the establishment in Australia Felix of a supreme Court of civil and criminal judicature. The Government had already come to the determination of establishing a superior Court at Melbourne, and Sir George Gipps had requested the Judges of the Supreme Court at Sydney to advise as to the appointment of a Judge for Port Philip. At such a period, and before the result of the consideration of this matter by the Legis lature was known, it was thought inexpedient that the merchants should call a meeting as above described. POST.—Notwithstanding the arrival of intelligence confirming the accounts of the destruction of Beyrout, the money market has generally improved in the course of the present day. The opinion appears to prevail very generally that the c'mmencement of hostilities is in reality very favourable, merely because a termination is now perceived of the perplexity of the Eastern ques tion, France having now no alternative but to com mence hostilities at once; or to cease the warlike menaces and demonstrations, which have been the cause of so much difficulty, uncertainty, and derange ment in every department of political, monetary, and mercantile affairs. Though not desirous to contribute to the mortification of the national vanity of the French nation, it is indispensable to be reported that throughout the city of London the publication of the letter of Lord Palmerston has created a feel ing of a very decided description against the conduct of the French negotiators in the Eastern question, the general observation being that in alliances of nations, as in partnerships of individuals, the majority has the right to govern the minority, and that if one member of the great European confederacy can claim the right of op posing by force the execution of a measure in which the dissentient party is only as one to four, then that there is no longer any certainty or security in the principles of international law. The conduct of the French Govern ment is not only condemned as improper, on the ground of the very unwarranted opposition which has been threatened to the majority of the European Powers, but the strongest language is heard in the City on the circumstances, that the French Cabinet should have secretly transmitted the proposals to Mehemet Ali, and that the French Ministerial Journal, the Courrier Francais, should have asserted that the present Cabinet and present Ambassador are not bound by the declaration of General Sebastiani, that France would remain a passive spectator of events. These points iu the Eastern question are thought to have an appear ance of treachery, or certainly to be very undignified and dishonourable in the greatest possible degree. The citizens of London are now becoming much less forbearing in their language respecting the conduct of the French Government, or rather the French Minister M. Thiers, and the opinion prevails generally of them that the vapouring of the French Journals must be ex pected to cease from the present time, probably with the departure from power of M. Thiers. Very extraordinary accounts have appeared in some journals respecting the state of affairs of Buenos Ayres, the most dreadful barbarities being ascribed to the pre sent Government, and British subjects being represented to be murdered with the greatest impunity. Inquiries have been made into these statements, which prove that these assertions are tatally without foundation, not one English subject having been murdered ; and the account of the young lady, the daughter of General Roses, who is represented as appearing in the most brutal and bloody scenes, is described by well-in formed parties as a libel of the most outrageous class. It is certainly very improbable that Mr. Mandeville, the present British Minister at Buenos Ayres, should continue, as represented in a newspaper, to be in the constant habit of domestic intercourse with the murde rers of the subjects of the English Crown. Some discussion on the merits of the President steam-ship has taken place in consequence of the change in the commander of that ship. It appears to be thought that it is not far the safety of the passengers and cargo that this steam-vessel should be forced rapidly through the sea, the deficiency of beam being very great both in the President and British Queen. In this view of the subject the late commander of the President is thought to have been improperly removed. The American papers mention that the degree of LL.D. has been conferred by the University authori ties on Mr. Junius Smith, of London, the gentleman whose enterprise, science, and perseverance have FO eminently contributed to the establishment of steam na vigation, between the Old and the New Worlds, HERALD.—The accounts from the manufacturing districts continue favourable, and a brisk demand for woollen goods, both for home and export, exists. The abundant harvest in Ireland will, it is expected, bring buyers from thence. Complaints are made that the high price of the raw article deprives the manufac turers of an adequate profit. At Manchester prices had been a shade lower ; the fall has been occasioned by the appearance which foreign affairs have assumed. The quarterly sale of indigo, advertised to take place this day, was, upon the receipt of the intelli gence of the arrival of the overland despatch, post poned until the letters had been delivered. The news that twenty-six millions pounds of tea was on the way here caused a decline of about one halfpenny per lb. The consumption, notwithstanding the hi.,h price, has fallen off, but in a very trifling. degree.' The and compared w ith it, rently h the trade will not be in a se ttled state for some PUBLICATIONS.

So that with the overbearin, conduct of Captain Elliot, and the offence taken thereat by the Chinese, the poor English are not only to pay vary largely beyond what they agreed to do for an imperative act of humanity, by the price of one of the principal necessaries of life being doubled, but in order that the east should not be jealous of the west, they have to send an extensive, and consequently expensive arma ment there, solely, apparently, for the purpose of rais ing the price of another of the principal articles of our consumption. SUN.—The important intelligence from the East re ceived to-day appeared to be considered in a favour. able light than otherwise, so that the depression of Saturday afternoon in the value of the public securities was evidently more the result of the news from Sheer ness than that from Beyrout. The vigorous measures of our Government afford to impartial and reflecting men the best guarantee for the maintenance of the peace of Europe. None of the private letters from India are expected in town until Wednesday. Consols touched 87i for money this afternoon, closing at 86-1. to 87, and 87-1 for time, the latest bargains being at 87 to Exchequer Bills did not rally above 4s. premium, but the New Three-and•a-Half per Cents. were 961 to In the Foreign Stocks a moderate amount of business was transacted to•day, but, generally speaking, prices recovered the depression of Saturday afternoon. The news from Lisbon of the 28th ult. was only of interest in as far as it confirms the suppression of the rebellion, and the New Portuguese Bonds recovered, in conse quence of it, from 311 to 321, and the Three per Cents. from 201 to 21*.

In a recent Number of the Times an attempt was made to grapple with the allegation, that a Tory Mi nistry could not stand in the present House of Com mons. The speculation is rather curious than practi cal. While one Ministry does actually stand, it would be rather an odd reason for resigning, that another in its place might be able to stand also. The time was, when by means of Government boroughs and other ap pliances, any party might have sustained itself in the House of Commons. The Tories then showed no sus ceptibility to the force of the argument ; yet they seem now to wonder that it dots not convince their op ponents. Clearly, they only resort to it for want of a better. They lack the real argument by which the duty of resignation is demonstrated to a Mi nistry ; the argument of a hostile majority. The uneasy consciousness of that want, with a restless impatience at the privations of pro longed opposition, drives them into these ingenious constructions of the Government which they contend ought to be, in the face of the fact that a different Government is, and continues to be, n o t w ith s t an di ng a ll their reasoLings. They are lik e an army l ett i ng o ff curious fireworks to celebrate the triumph which it might, could, would, or should have gained, had it been able to rout the enemy with hard shot. Until the shot tells, the foe will simply be amused at the fireworks. It is silly to say that Ministers stick to office though they are beaten. A beaten Ministry cannot stick to office. This was the position of Sir Robert Peel in 1835. After sundry successful skirmishes, only prepara tor), the struggle was brought to a point, and he was placed in a dilemma from which there was no other ex trication. Bring home to the present Ministers a simi lar argument, and Toryism may write its Q.E.D. on the Treasury benches. But the Times has brought an alleged fact of private political history to bear on the discussion. In the spring of last year, when the Whigs did actually resign, notwithstanding the tenacity of which they are accused ; when they resigned on a provocation which both Sir Robert Peel and the Duke of Welling ton seemed astonished at their thinking a sufficient rea son ; there were, it is affirmed, sundry supporters of the present Administration who intimated their readi ness to support a Tory Administration. On these gen tlemen, who, in the opinion of the Times, " had pushed the virtue of constancy to a fault," reliance is placed for producing a Tory majority in the present House of Commons. Where, when, and how this offer of service was made to Sir Robert Peel, the Times does not in form the public. We are left in the dark also as to ' whether it was coupled with conditions, and those con ditions accepted. Of the names and number of the band thus prepared for desertion, there is no disclosure. We must admit, however, that the Times is much more likely than ourselves to be in the secret of such Whigs as ate ready to apostatize to Toryism the moment that a Tory Ministry is installed. It has earned confidence of that description. Its sympathy could be relied upon. (From the Times.) The observations of M. Guizot, that the Eastern question was now abandoned to accidents and subal terns, has been strikingly illustrated in the recent events at Constantinople and Beyrout. While everything here tended to the restoration of a better sort of feeling, and to assuage that feverish excite ment which for two months past has vexed all Earope, while two at least of the Four Powers have evinced a disposition to make some attempt for the renewal of frank and friendly communications with France, and France herself, growing calmer and cooler, began to feel that she had neither cause nor pretext for going to war, the Divan of Ambassadors at Constantinople, in whom all the authority of the Ottoman Porte has merged, by their reckless and precipitate violence, do their utmost to disturb the retuning harmony, and rekin3le the flame which their Governments arc exerting themselves to extinguish. The bombardment of Beyrout, of which we have as yet but imperfect accounts, was a very useless sacrifice of life and infl.ction of misery, and the deposition of Mehe met Ali from the Government of Egypt was in all re spects objectionable. It does not become a great coun try to rattle these pasteboard thunders, to pronounce sentences without any intention of carrying them into execution, and to be obliged to explain, with rather un dignified alacrity, that such mighty acts of vigour mean nothing at all We have reason to believe that the Gover nment of her Majesty have already notified to that of the Tuileries that they neverreally contemplated the deposition of the Pacha, and that they have merely threatened him with the loss of Egypt in order to frighten him out of the occupation of Syria. This assurance will probably satisfy the French Government, and serve to allay the irritation of public opinion, always too vivacious, and ready to jump to hasty and unfounded conclusions. Greatly shall we rejoice if this in terrorern deposition produces the expected effect, and terminates a dispute of which it may be said that it is quite impossible to underrate the importance of its objects, or to overrate ti., ..,;.chief of its effects. We are heartily sick of Mehemet Ali, e! Syria, and of the whole subject ; it is one in which Englani has but little interest, and it is not without pain that we English sailors employed, and hear of English blood spat, la this contemptible contest. (From the Morning Advertiser.) Language cannot furnish a censure more condem natory of the political system of England, nor a pane gyric more commendatory of the industrial character of its people, than is to be found in the fact of a law against the importation of corn being allowed to remain on the statute-book, while the Legislature is at the same time shamed into the enactment of laws prohibitory of the operative from taxing his strength beyond its natural effort in the desperate struggle to maintain an unpauperisod existence. The picture is one at which posterity will look with horror and astonishment. On one side, the Legislature preventing the people from re ceiving the food offered to their acceptance ; on th e other, with a sort of mongrel humanity preventing them from labour in g to the excess to which their ne cessities would goad them, in the desire of obtaining by their own exer tions the most stinted necessaries of lif e . To object to the limitation of labour prescrib e d by the Factory L aws, would b e considered to evince an inhuman indifference but to 3 Corn-laws is the sufferance of our over wrought support the by which accursed cause of these suffering operatives r ati v es arc the landlords pretended to be the most patriotic act of which a generous mind il susceptible. a most anomalous Proceeding i .ur le.

It is a strange thing, and by no means creditable to the national good sense of Europe in the year 1840, that two such kingdoms as France and England shout." be upon the verge of war with one another iespecting• the Government of Syria. What's Syria to us or we to Syria, that two nations of mighty power and high civilization should fall to the work of bloodshed and de struction because they have opposite views as to the set tlement of the affairs of this territory of the East ? The balance of power in Europe is said to depend upon it. Well, then, might not same other mode than that of war be found out for determining that course which is best for the preservation of the balance of power in Europe ? England frankly declares that slie has no other object in view than an arrangement of E..stern af fairs favourable to the general peace of the world.. There are five Great Powers that may be said to di vide the political sway of Europe, aud, indeed, et ail the world, save the American continent, among them. These are Austria, England, France, Prussia, and Russia. They a ll concur or say they concur, in wish ing for the general peace, and four of them concur in thinking and in determining that a certain arrangement of the Turkish empire, comprehending a r,-;•storation to that Power of the direct government of Syria, will be conducive to the general peace. One of them, namely, France, cannot agree to this arrangement. Forthwith she makes mighty preparations for war. What can be more arrogant or unjust ? If the general peace be her object, how can she suppo se th at o bj ect to b e advanced by resisting the arrangements of the other Four Powers with respect to an external matter which everybody allows ought to be arranged in some way ? If the general peace be not her object, why does she not honestly say what her object is and let it be can vassed and decided upon with sobriety and discretion ? She hears the other Powers all declaring, not merely 1 by words, but by public documents, that they want no acquisition of territory—no aggrandizement —no new political influence by what they have determined upon in respect of the Eastern question. If France have doubts of the sincerity of these declarations and docu ments, why does she not say what it is she fears, and ask for guarantees against the accomplishment of her apprehensions? If she really desired the general peace, this is what cotillion sense would •dictate. But instead of taking a course worthy of a rational and thoughtful and really civilized nation, she cries out for war—for the clash of arras and the shedding of blood ! ( From the Morning Herald.) There are some passages in that elaborately verbose document, published under the title of "Manifesto of the British Government on the Eastern Question," and bearing the signature of Lord Palmerston, which de serve to be brought under the particular - notice of the British public, few of whom will ever have patience to wade through the solemn dullness of the document itself, and still fewer will be able to understand it. There is one passage above others which we would pl.lee in prominent relief. It is this :—" Her Ma jesty's Government has stated that it considers Syria to be the key of Asiatic Turkey ; and that if Mehemet Ali were to continue to occupy that province in addition to Egypt, he would be able, at all times, to menace Bagdad to the south, Diarbekir and Er zeroum to the east, and Koniah and Brusso, and Con stantinople, to the north. That the same spirit if am bition which has led Mehemet Ali on former occasions to revolt against his Sovereign, would soon prompt him again to take up arms for further encroachment ; and that for this purpose lie would always keep a large army on foot. Tha the Sultan, on the ether hand, must see the danger by which he would constantly be threatened, and must be obliged also to remain armed. That thus the Sultan and Mehemet Ali would continue to maintain large armies to watch each other ; that colli sion must inevitably ensue out of mutual suspicion and alarm, even if there were no intentional aggression on either side." Nobody of any intelligence wilt question the correctness of the position that "Syria is the key cl Asiatic Turkey." It is for that very reason we wish to see Syria in the hands of Mehemet Ali, because if it be not in his hands, who can vigorously govern and defend it, it will soon and inevitably fall into the hands of Russia, for the Sultan has neither the power nor ability to prevent such a result. Russia does not wish that the key of Asiatic Turkey should be in the hands of Mehemet Ali, because she wishes to have that key in her own custody. The Autocrat of the North de sires to have every facility possible for opening the gates of Constantinople when his plans for the absorp tion of the Ottoman empire into the gigantic mass of Muscovite dominion shall have become as ripe as those by which in former days Crim Tartary, Courland, Mol davia, Wallachia, and Poland were so absorbed—=for when it was seen that Moldavia and Wallachia were compelled to furnish " contingents " to the troops of Diebitsch for the subjugation of Turkey in the cam paigns of the Balkan, what can they be considered but j Russian provinces? TILE REGISTRATIONS. MIDDLESEX. The Revising Barristers held their Courts yesterday at the Abereorn Arms, Great Stanrnorc. Mr. COYENTRY revised the list of voters for the parishes of Hendon, Kingsbury, Stanmore Parva, and Pinner, and Mr. SHADWELL the lists for Edgware, Stan more Magna, and Harrow. (Before Mr. COVENTRY.) Thomas Carvick, described on the list as of the Union Club-house, was objected to by the Reformers on the ground that the description of the place of abode was insufficient. Mr. Coppock mentioned that on Saturday 'Mr. Shadwell struck the name of Alderman Harmer off the list because he was described as of a place at which his letters were left. Mr. Adey alluded to the case of Major Dowbiggin, in which Slaughter's Coffee-house was held to be a sufficient description. Mr. Coppoek observed that there was no proof before the Court that Mr. Carvick was a member of the Club, Indeed, the letter sent to Mr. Carvick, at the Union Club, almost showed the contrary, for the address had been altered to " Portland-place, Southampton." Mr. COVENTRY thought those who objected to Mr. Carvick, ought to show he was not a member of the Club. The objection was overruled, and the name there fore retained. (Before Mr. SIIADWELL.) John J. H. Humphreys, whose residence cra; stated in the list to be" Exeter College, Oxford," was objected to by the Reformers on the ground of cliatige of residence. Mr. Burnard proved the service of the notice of objection on the porter of the College, who told him that Mr. Humphreys had taken his degrees, and left the College a considerable time. Mr. Turner handed in a letter from Mr. Humphreys, stating that he had resided at the College on tho 31st of July last, and that the letter which had been ad dressed to him at Oxford, had afterwards been for warded to him in Ireland. Mr. SHADWELL thought the letter of the party him self was better evidence than that of the porter, and therefore allowed the name to be retained on the register.
