" These works evince great professional and scientific ta lent."—Oxford Chronicle, April 11, 18 , 10. " A successful mode of treating diseases so formidable, so fatal, and so common as Dropsy and Consumption, which assail the human frame from so many, and frequently from such opposite causes, must obviously be an inestimable benefit to mankind. There is scarcely a disease to which flesh is heir that may not terminate either in Dropsy or Consumption, from the simple cold, which inflames the mucous membrane, and obstructs the secretions of the body, to the more appalling aneurism or ossi fication. From an enemy, therefore, that threatens from so many quarters, and lurks in such complicated ambush, all men have been anxious to be delivered ; but hitherto their wishes have been disappointed. Dr. Bright details, step by step, his mode of dealing with Dropsy and Consumption, the Medicines he exhibits, and gives many actual cases of patients cured after they had been given up by eminent members of his profession." —London Conservative Journal, Jan. 4, 1840.

CURTIS and COMPANY, Consulting Surgeons, London. _ _ published by the Aut.liors, and sold by Balliere, Medical Bookseller, 219, Regent-street ; 011ivier, 59, Pall Mall ; S,range, 21, Paternoster-row ; Pattie, 4, Budges-street, Strand; Machen and Co., 8, D'Olier-street, Dublin ; Duncan 114, High-street, Edinburgh ; and to be had ofall Booksellers The Work which is now presented to the public is the result of very extended experience in a class of diseases and affec t►ons, which for some unaccountable reason have been either altogether overlooked, or treated with apathy, and.almost in difference, by the o 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 of its real cause, has been set down to the score of consumption, will, on perusing this work be astonished to find that in nine tenths of the cases of young persons of both sexes, who perish of what is called pulmonary consumption, heart disease, tabes, &c., the sole and exclusive origin has been the indulgence in certain destructive habits, practised by youth much more fre quently than is at all suspected. The PRECEPTOR, also, who holds temporarily, at least the relation and responsibility of a parent, will, by perusing this work, be directed, and very much assisted in investigating and detecting the too often concealed 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 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 of parent and instructor, will herp be directed as to the nature of those habits, to which youth is addicted he will also be enabled to point out the disastrous consequences which pe pre to follow from them, if not relinquished.

TIME S.—The excitement in the Stock Market con tinues. Several commercial letters received in the City speak with much apprehension as to the state of the Funds in Paris. The fluctuations in Consols have been consi derable. A correspondent complains, that having offered a 501. Bank of Ergland note at the branch at Birthing ham for cash, it was refused, the parties at the branch al leging as an excuse that they had orders not to cash bills to so large en amount, unless some guarantee was offered for the respectability of the party presenting it. About the goodness of the note there does not scca to have been the slightest doubt, as the holder, on putting the question whether it was a good one, was answered in the affirmative. This method of transacting business, of refusing to cash at the branch the notes issued by the head establishment, seems to be dictated by a narrow spirit, but our corre spondent is quite mistaken when from this practice he ar gues that bank -notes are virtually not a legal tender. If a bill offered in satisfaction for an existing debt could be legally refused, such a bill would not be a legal tender; but a mere refusal to give change, when no debt exists at all, has nothing whatever to do with the question whether the note is a tender or not. ------- CHRONICLE.—AIthough the Monileur of Saturday contains the official ordonnance calling out the reserve of the conscription of 1836, and the entire conscription of 1839, with authority to raise funds for a large increase to the navy, both in men and ships, Consols opened at 90 buyers. The event had been in some degree antici pated, and the conviction is still retained that although the situation of matters is rendered more complicated by this demonstration on the part of France, yet, eventually, the affair will be settled without war; this is still the prevalent opinion in the city, and some parties begin to think that the French Cabinet will get out of the scrape by inducing the Pacha to ac cept the terms of the treaty signed by the Four Powers. Considering, however, the obstinate notions of that per sonage, others think this may prove a more difficult matter than might at first eight be imagined, supposing it were the case that Thiers had sent a special envoy to Egypt on such a mission ; but that course of policy is no doubt in the reach of the French Cabinet, and certainly opens a door to them for retreat, unless they have committed them selves by previous engagements. The report of the British Commissioners on the disputed boundary with the state of Maine has added to the prevail ing uneasiness, and those who are disposed to take the gloomy side of things speak mysteriously as to the proba, ble conduct of the French Canadians should any serious rupture occur between France and Great Britain. But there is little or nothing in these anticipations. The boun dary question will be settled by the mixed commission, and the state of Canada is satisfactory. There is no pastime more dangerous than that of playing with edged tools, and if France be not serious in her pro fessed declarations, the sooner that she removes the mask the better. In the mean time people here cannot under stand why France should augment the strength of her armies and her fleet unless she has some settled object to attain by employing the extraordinary means thus called into existence ; and seeing that the purpose assigned by her is so frivolous and so much at variance with a liberal and en lightened policy, they suspect that she must harbour some concealed purpose at bottom. This, however, is mere con jecture, and while some parties argue in that way, insinuating that France wishes to convert Egypt into a colony, there arc a few, and only a few, who are disposed to think that Thiers is sincere in his avowed hatred to Russia, and in his fears that the subjugation of Mehemet Ali will open the gates of Constantinople to the Autocrat. But public opinion is more united in support of Lord Palmerston's policy on this momentous question than it has been on any occasion since the era of the Reform Bill. The disciples of the Thiers policy are scarcely to be heard of in the City, and, although hostilities with France would prominently affect commercial interests, we believe the British mer chants cordially approve of the conduct of her Majesty's Government in regard to the affairs of the East, and ac knowledge that Lord Palmerston has ably maintained the I honour and best interests of the country. HE RA LD.—lt is a singular feature in the Stock Mar ket, that whereas the apprehensions of a possible hostile collision with France, or even of hostile interference as against the Pacha of Egypt, are considerably moderated even amongst those of late most strongly disposed, or so appearing, to entertain them, yet the funds do not the less continue to decline, and the sellers upon every re-action are remarked as displaying an unhesitating confidence in their operations, This boldness in the speculators for the fall adds strength to the suspicion before prevalent among the jobbers generally, that certain parties are in possession of and acting upon some particular information more than has yet transpired publicly. It is, however, probable after all, that the almost certainty that force will have to be applied to compel the Pacha into the terms of arrangement with Turkey, which, as agreed among the four Powers are to be proposed to him, has uo small share of influence up in the calculations of the speculators, for should he be found resolute in his demands, and resolved on resistance to com pulsory measures, it is not easy to foresee how far the hos ilities which will then follow may extend, and whether in fact they may not lead first to indirect and gradually to direct conflict with France, or even to a general war. These are the consideratio ns that probably influence the fall in Consols, which left off to-day at 991 to 90 for money and 90 buyers for Account, which show a depressio n in prices of per cent. upon the closing quotations of Saturday. POST. —The Paris advices received in town this morn ing, notice an improvement of about one per cent. in the French Funds. This circumstance, coupled with that of the present very promising state of the weather for the harvest, might have been expected to produce a rally in our own market; but, to counteract the effect of the change, we have, at the same time, intelligence of an unsa tisfactory tenour from Syria, where it appears the dis turbances of which we lately heard were rather increasing than otherwise, and, besides this, the alarm that has ex isted in the minds of many, as to the course that may pos sibly be taken by the French Government, with reference to the treaty just entered into for the pacification of the East, has certainly in no degree subsided. The intimation that the Portuguese are becoming luke warm as to the negotiation of another commercial treaty with us, on the ground that we shall continue to swallow the disgusting trash which they send to this country under the name of port wine, just as freely after the conclusion of a treaty with France—if, indeed, such a treaty should ever be concluded, of which doubts may well be enter tained—as we have hitherto done, is a new feature in the Lisbon correspondence. We trust, however, it is a very false one. As the Portuguese are so insensible of the advantages they have for a long time past enjoyed in connection with England, it is greatly to be de sired that our custom for wine, so extensive as it is, should at least be participated in by nations who aro more in amity with us, and who are likely to prove more grate ful for any preference or partiality we may manifest towards them. If we break with France, there appears to be nothing to prevent us from cultivating a more inti mate commercial intercourse with Prussia. Independently of considerations connected with the wine trade, we have the strongest motives for doing this at all events ; but, as far as we are able to judge, the relish for German wines is rapidly increasing in England, and, if so, in defiance of treaties, Portugal and Spain will in all probability be before long completely beaten out of the field. They have neither of them any demand for their potent beverages worth naming, but that which they acquire from the Eng lish consumer, and of this they are equally unworthy. SUN.—Th. excitement with regard to our position in the political world, now that France has made an ac tual show of warlike preparations, has not materially sub sided, and it is now rather earnestly debated whether, under existing circumstances, it would not be politic in our GovernMent to increase the naval force of the country, even should no immediate necessity exist for its employment. At any rate, we may now p'ead justi fication, for any measure of the sort, without exciting the jealousy of any of our allies. Consols 'closed a shade better, viz., 89i to 90 for Money, and 90k to 90 for the Account. Exchequer Bills dropped to 21s. premium, and India Bonds to 3s. discount. Bank Stock was heavy at 173/, 'and India Stock at 252/. The Reduced Three-and-a-Half per Cents, were last marked 99k to 9, and the New Three and-a-Half per Cents. 981 to I. The foreign securities were rather animated, but they all fluctuated a good deal. In the morning they had an upward tendency, especially Spanish Stock. The news from Madrid being considered somewhat more fa vourable ; subsequently, however, they gave way again. Spanish Actives touched 25k in the morning, fell to 241, and closed at 241. Portuguese New Five per Cents. from 31 to 311, and the Three per Cents, from 214 to 21 1-29. The news from Lisbon was of no importance. Colombian Bonds ranged from 25k to 241 for the Ac count, and Mexican from 28/ to 29. Belgian were as low as 101/ to 101, and Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents, declined to 504. The Share Market was in a very quiescent state all day, and in prices there was a slight decline. The new Great Western Railway Shares brought 14/ ; the South Western 17k; the New North Midland 3/ ; and the Manchester and Leeds New 15s. premium. The Brighton were at 8i ; the Northern and Eastern at 8 ; and the South Eastern at MI discount. Provincial Bank of Ireland shares realised 191 premium, and Union Bank of Australia New 41 premium. SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY. (From the Times.) We have often had occasion to direct the public atten tion to that which is thz only marked and consistent fea ture in the domestic policy of the Whig-Radical Govern ment—that grasping love of power, patronage, and in fluence, and that overweening self-conceit, which consti tute the life and slut of the centralizing system. There is certainly in Whiggism an inherent propensity to ty ranny ; and of all the methods which tyranny ever invented for sucking out the essential vitality of free institutions, without appearing materially to touch their forms, this centralizing system is the most plausible and the most pernicious. It is the most plausible, because its pre tended object is to carry out with greater consistency and efficienCy purposes already recognized in existing PRICE sd. , institutions ; to insure an economical expenditure ; to al ply to each subject matter the appropriate de grees of wisdom and experience, and to place all inferior agents and inferior machinery under a vigilant superinten dence. It is also for these very reasons the most perni cious: men look at it in detail, and find it often very con venient in those particular branches of its operation which touch themselves most nearly ; it saves them money or trouble; its possible evil consequenc,ts appear to be of a theoretical, while its benefits are of a practical, nature. But in the mean time real power is passing out of the hands of the people—that power which is their only true security for the present and future enjoyment of liberty and law. We think it the more important to look narrowly into this matter, because the principle is evidently a fa vourite one with two schools of politicians, differing in tome respects, but both of them deserving, in our opinion, to be regarded with the highest degree of jea lousy. One of these is the political economy school, a school which cultivates . a subordinate department of political knowledge, but which these miserable scialists have attempted to elevate into the master-science of Go vernment. These are the men who look upon money as the soul of a nation ; money getting the great object of human life ; the production and multiplication of riches as the pur. pose for which kings exist and Parliaments assemble. Of the passions, the affections, the sympathies, the virtues, the moral and religious sentiments and interests of immortal beings, they seem to think only as of disturbing forces, which must sometimes be taken into account in reducing their abstract calculations into practice. In a case of col. lision there can be no doubt which must give way : ‘. The harmony and the happiness of man .‘ Yield to the wealth of nations." The other school to which we have referred is not less active, and in truth has a much deeper interest in promot ing the spread of the principle of centralization. We mean the modern ultra-Liberal party, of which Mr. Flume is so distinguished an ornament —a party which has bor rowed either from America or from revolutionary France new and spurious notions of popular freedom, wtdch worships as the summum bonum in politics the despotism of a majority, and would sweep away every check which stands between the " greatest number" and their will, how ever oppressive, foolish, and tyrannical to every one else that will may be. f . (From the Morning Herald.) We have lately exposed, in plain and pointed language, the gross errors and mis-statements of the Times, in its account of school inspection. We have shown, from un deniable dates and authorities, that the National Society was, from the first, opposed to State inspection, and that such inspection was originally suggested to the Treasury by the British and Foreign School Society. Instead of refuting our charges, or acknowledging its blunders and mis-statements, the Times now affects to roar out fresh threats and anathemas against the National Society —it invokes the Gsvernment to revoke the charter—refuse the royal letter, and destroy the very name of the National Society—and this at the very moment that an acknow ledged compromise has been effected between the heads of the Church and the heads of the Treasury —when the schools of the National Society have been explicitly re cognised by the last Treasury minute,—and when all the immunities, whether spurious or real, which have been an nexed to the veto of the Archbishops, have been conferred on the schools of the National S.Jciety. We say this is passing strange—that it indicates either treachery or mad ness—that the Times is bound to explain its conduct, not only as concerns its own character for consistency with its past opinions, but as relative to its present and future po sition, as the professed advocate of Conservative principles in Clair:lh and State; and that it can demand no confi dence from any portion of the public till it has clearly and fully explained itself en this strange and unaccountable procedure. ( From the Morning Chronicle.) The smoke from the shores of France, exhibited in such abundance in all the Paris journals, if it does not alarm the English public, has had the very natural effect of making them very inquisitive. Every second person you meet asks you what the French really want? Its newspapers and its Government tell us that they wish to prevent all such changes as may, by disturbing the balance of power, endanger the general peace. To sound the alarm, by in creasing its army and its navy, is certainly, to our mind, an odd way of labouring to promote peace. Not. withstanding these demonstrations, however, we con. tinuo to believe, with unabated confidence, that the general peace will not be disturbed. In France, as in England, the sober-minded and reflecting portion of the community must eventually determine the course of the governments ; and whatever may be the apparent in toxication of the moment, we trust to the influence of the influential portion of the French nation, in subduing the fiery zeal of heated politicians. The silly invention of Lord Palmerston having practised concealmeat in his communications with M. Guizot has passed off. This equally unfounded nonsense of a majority of the British Cabinet being opposed to the views and plans of its Fo reign Minister, known to be false in London, has ceased to be useful in Paris. What next will be dished up to serve the diseased appetite of an excited public, we know not ; but this we know, that the French orders for the raising soldiers and sailors will neither alarm the English public, nor, we hope, change the course of the British government, and the other three Powers. Such demon strations will neither induce them to abstain from what they have resolved to do, nor tempt them, on the other hand, to any counter armament, or retaliatory display. (From the Morning Post.) Among those who believe that a war with France will not be the consequence of the present excitement, we are ' disposed, as far as we can yet see our way, to claiss our ' selves. We are quite aware that a very contrary opinion prevails wherever an unlimited confidence is placed in the periodical Press of Paris as speaking the sentiments of the French people, but we think that such confidence arises either from a want of knowledge or from a confusion of ideas. The writers in the French newspapers are ingeni ous ; they aro plausible ; they have enough of fire to set Europe in a blaze ; but they are the creatures of impulse, and the slaves of some favourite theory. Calm reasoning is not their forte ; they have no taste for patient application ; and they are apt to look with something like contempt on the prudent and industrious, because they have no sympathy with the quiet and domestic enjoyments which form alike the re ward and relaxation of prudence and industry. It is not surprising, then, that the middle classes in France are unrepresented in the public journals; but the fact is im portant to all who would acquire an insight into the feel ings of an influential portion of the French people at the present crisis. Nothing seems more clear than that we must not look to the newspapers for the information we desire. There, indeed, we may find the hopes and wishes of the various political parties expressed in strong and glowing language ; and that is all. Declamation abounds ; but fact is given, no course of argument pursued, from which the writers can themselves deduce an inference, or by which they enable us so to de.

These very honourable, high-minded, spiritually dis posed Genllemen, the perpetual Churchwardens of Chelmsford, Messrs. Morgan, Gepp, and Baker, dressed in a little brief authcr:ty, have determined upon ex . hibiting themselves again in their self-magnified defoimity, to the gaze and contempt, to the scorn and derision of every liberal and benevolent mind in the empire. It will scarcely he credited that no sooner had all parties in the House of Commons unanimously agreed upon the propriety and necessity of liberating John Thorogood, the Chunk. rate martyr, from his bonds, after having expressed their ' conviction of his honesty of intention and conscientious scruples, than these meek and lowly Christians determi ne d to act in direct opposition to the Legislature, and to re sist, t o th e d eat h even , t h e re l ease o f their victim Datil he has paid the uttermost farthing.

" Triat as regards the proceedings against John Tboro. good, which have been hitherto carried on be the Church. wardens of Chelmsford, on their own judgment and re sponsibility, the thanks of this Meeting are eminently due to them for the judicious, straightforward, and uncoospro. mising course which they have hitherto pursued; and thet a in the opinion of this Meeting, they will best serve the interests of the Established Church generally, as they will assuredly cf this parish in particular, by persevering in the same course of firmness and consistency, until theyhave recovered the rate due from John Thorogood, sad re. ceived the costs occasioned by his obstinacy, trickery, asked Upon the revolutions being put a poll was deivianele.d, and allowed by the Chairman, the Rev.

Assuredly the sins of omission are occasionally as great as those of commission, and if Charles James and An thony Carew Mildmay do not stop these incendiary church wardens, they may light a flame in England that may con sume the Established Church to its very foundation. COPY OF A LETTER FROM MR. ASHURET TO THE ATTORNEY CENERAL, INDICATING THE MEASURES TO BE TANEN YOE THE LIBERATION OF JOHN Tnoftoooon " 137, Cheapside, London, J u ly 27, 1 840. " Sir,—l take r h e lib erty of addressing you, as a Member of Parliament, and as the Queerer; Attorney. General in the case of Thorogood. " It appears by the papers of this morning, that oil sa. turday an opinion was expressed in the House of Com mons that the Churchwardens have no power, and that Dr Lushingten, the Judge, has no power, to release Thorogood. " This assertion may be verbally true, but it is calculated to convey more than it asserts, and to mislead Lord John Russell, who cannot be expected to understand the prac tice of the Ecclesiastical Courts. To say that the Judge has not the power, and that the churchwardens have not the power, is verbally true, and yet does not touch the point of the case, as it was un derstood by all parties on Friday, when it was under dis cussion ; for the churchwardens and the Judge together have the power, if the one has the inclination and the other thinks it judicially right. It is only the will that is want ing. All that needs to be done is, that the churchwardens should instruct their proctor to move the Court for his dis charge, just in the same way in which motion is made in the Queen's Bench for leave to discontinue. " If they do not do this, th, n you, as the representitive of her Majc,ty's lieges, and their official protector, as well as prosecutor cf those who do wrong, have only to apply, or lestruct the Queen's Advocate to apply, to the Consis tory Court—that is to say, to Dr. Lushington—for the man's discharge, on the ground that his imprisonment ought to be deemed a satisfaction. " The imprisonment being for a contempt of court, the court is to judge of what will satisfy itself. " This is not dealing with the promoters of the suit un fairly, because it is their own choice to proceed as for a contempt, instead of proceeding for the rate, although the man did not appear. 6' They chose to proceed as fcr a contempt, but the court is to judge, not they, what degree of submission, or of punishment in lieu of submission, shall be deemed a satis faction. " [submit to you that if, after you, or the Queen's Advo cate, had applied to the Consistory Court, that court re fused, that then a common law Judge would have the power, upon a habeas corpus, and that certainly the Court of Queen's Bench have the power to keep the Ecclesiastical Cou is within the bounds of infliction, and to order his die charge. " Surely 18 months' imprisonment for ss. 6d. ought to be deemed satisfaction, and it will be deemed by the Com mon Law Judges unreasonable in those Courts, after having been applied to, to insist upon more. Lord John Russell on Friday did not confine bimse4f, nor did the Members who spoke confine themselves% to the mere power of the Judge. " It is a fact that Mr. Joh' Childs, who was taken upon an attachment for contempt, was discharged from Ipawidi gaol without purging his contempt, that is, taking the eth of canonical obedience in future ; and it will not, surely, be attempted to palm upon you the statement that the Churchwardens cannot forego the rate-payment of the said rate, and the costs have nothing whatever to do Seth the contempt, is fin eon aned. dare not named in the warrant by 'which manthe I submit that her Majesty, through you and the Queen's Advocate, can move, first, the Judge of the Consistory Court, and if he refuses, then the Court of Queen's Bunch; and that these applications being through the recognized courts of the kingdom, the Crown is not thereby exercising an arbitrary dispensing power, but s legitimate mode of putting into action its proteeting power, and of preventing its successors of those who used of old to burn the people for the good of their souls from now wasting them away in prison for matter of opinion. " If Lord John Russell will call for the authority ley which the gaoler of Ipswich discharged Mr. Childs, he will see how that gentleman was discharged, who never submitted to the Ecclesiastical Court. " The only distinction in that case was, that somebody thought fit to pay the money without Mr. Chllds's consent, as they thought he was dying ; but, as I have before said, I am sure you will see now that payment of the money forms no part of the contempt ; it is sot named in the warrant, nor has any proceeding found it to be due for anything that yet appears before the Court. Thorogood is not legally liable to the rate; the non-payment, therefore, cannot be a part of the contempt. 6' I am, Sir, your very obedient servant, (Signed) " W. H.

CROMIVELL A TYRANT IN SPITZ Or HIM SELF.— When he shed blood it was never for the appetite of blood ; such acts were committed by him agaiast a good na ture, not in the indulgence of a depraved one. His good sense and his good nature would have led him to govern equitably and mercifully, to promote literature, to cherish the arts, and to pour wine and oil into the wounds of the nation. No man was so worthy of the station which he filled, had it not been for the means by which he reached it ; he would have go verned constitutionally, mildly, mercifally,liberally, if he would have followed the impulses of his own heart and the wishes of his better mind ; self-preservation compelled him to adopt a se vere and suspicious system : he was at last reduced to govern without a Parliament—because, pack them andipurge them its he might, all that he summoned proved unmanageable ; ega because ke was an usurper, &c., he became of neaessity a despot.— Quarterly Review.
