SHIPWRECKED FISHERMEN AND MARINERS' BENEVOLENT SOCIETY, 26, BUCKLERSBURY, LONDON. THE Liverpool Shipmasters' Association having con- JL to become the Auxiliary Branch of this Society, beg to caution the Public against Persons making application for relief representing themselves to be Shipwrecked Fisher men or Mariners. It is requested that all objects in apparent distress be re ferred to Mr. Moss, the Master of the Rooms, 5, Oldhall street, who will thoroughly investigate the circumstances, and, if deserving, afford relief. This Society is founded with the view of giving relief and assistance to the widows and orphans of fishermen, and of mariners, members of this Society, who lose their lives by storms and shipwreck on any part of the coasts of the United Kingdom, while engaged in their lawful occupations ; and also to render necessary assistance to such mariners,soldiers, or other poor persons, as suffer shipwreck upon the said coasts. The nature of relief intended to be given by the Society is of the following description :—Should a fisherman, having a wife and family depending on him, be unfortunately drowned whilst in the exercise of his calling, the agent, or some mem ber of any Branch Committee on the spot, shall visit, with as little delay as possible, the cottage of the poor widow and orphans • and if it be ascertained that the fisherman has left a son old enough t 6 pursue his father's business, for the maintenance of the widow and family, he is to be assisted in part or the whole, as the case shall prove to require, so as to place him with materials in a boat, to enable him to under take it. If, however, the lost fisherman shall not have left a son old enough to assist, in any material degree, the widow and family, the next endeavour should be to induce the widow to maintain herself and family by her own exertions ; and, to assist her first efforts, the rent of her cottage, for the first year of her widowhood, might be paid ; or such other de scription of relief might be afforded, as may appear to those on the spot best calculated to rescue the widow and orphans from want and distress. Relief of a like nature will also, under similar circumstances, be offorded to the widows and orphans of mariners, who, at the time of their being lost, were members of this Society. In case of mariners, soldiers, or other poor persons, who may suffer shipwreck, they are to be supplied with food and cheap clothing, when their cases absolutely require it, and as speedily as possible are to be forwarded to their respective parishes, or to the places of residence of their friends. The terms of subscription to this inestimable Society are fixed at the low rate of two shillings and sixpence per annum, to enable all classes to contribute to it. Mr. Moss is authorised by the Committee of Management to receive Subscriptions and Donations. Subscriptions and Donations are also received at the Office of this Paper.

BRITANNIA CLOTH HALL, 8, PITT-STREET. SINGULAR OCCURRENCE AT HAMMERSMITH. During the last few days, much conversation has been occasioned throughout the neighbourhood of Hammersmith by an occurrence of a singular and extraordinary nature. From the inquiries made by our reporter on the spot, it ap pears that the friends of a lady most highly connected, and about thirty years of age, finding, some considerable period since, that, although not labouring under any distinct form of insanity so as to require restraint, her mind was exceed ingly weak, by the advice of Dr. --, an eminent physi cian, placed her under the care of Dr. —, a medical man residing at Fulham, who, although not keeping a private lunatic asylum, professed to take the charge of persons so circumstanced. The lady in question accordingly remained at Fulham until about four months since, when—it reaching the ears of her friends that she had formed an intimacy of rather too close a nature with a son of the medical man at whose house she had been placed, who, although six feet and a span in height, has not yet numbered twenty years' expe rience—it was determined to remove her to a more suitable situation ; and she was immediately conveyed to the residence of another surgeon, in the neighbourhood of Brook green, Hammersmith, where shell remained until Monday last. About ten days since, the friends of the lady received infor mation, that, notwithstanding her removal from the care of the father of the young man above alluded to, they had con trived to continue their correspondence, and had, in fact, been married by bans at the parish church of Rotherhithe in the early part of September last, but that no attempt had, up to that time, been made by the alleged husband to claim the society of his wife. In the course of the forenoon of Monday last, the young gentleman, accompanied by his father, brother, and other relatives and friends, went to the house of the medical gentleman under whose care the lady then was, and demanded to see her, which application was, of course, refused ; but she, becoming acquainted with the presence of her alleged husband, opened a front window on the first floor, and, stepping out on the balcony, threw into the street nine or ten sovereigns, which were immediately picked up by the claimant to her hand. After several vain endeavours to obtain an interview with her, they left the spot, but returned in the afternoon ; and, loitering about the house, were observed about four o'clock by the lady, who. having secured the door of her room on the inside, imme diately presented herself on the balcony, and was addressed from below by her alleged husband, who asked her, " Mary, am I not your husband ?" to which she instantly responded, " Yes, you are," and appeared in a state of great excitement and trouble of mind. The strange colloquy attracted the attention of the numerous persons passing along the high road, and in a short time a considerable crowd bad collected, to whom the alleged husband showed his certificate of mar riage, and who, from their want of knowledge of the real circumstances of the case, commended his exertions to ob tain possession of his supposed bride, and he then told he r to put her bonnet on, and come out on the balcony, and he would rescue her. She accordingly retired into, the room and presently afterwards came out on the balcony dressed for her departure. She then, by the direction of the party below, got a chair out of the drawing-room, and placing it at the east end of the balcony, mounted the top of the rails, and then holding the top rail, slid herself down with her back to the rails until her feet found a resting place on the edge of the balcony, and she stood for some minutes in a position the most frightful to be conceived, with certain death staring her in the face should she let go her hold, the per sons assembled outside cheering her, and calling to her to hold tight. By that time some members of her family, ac companied by a solicitor, &c., had arrived from town, and with the proprietor of the house, procured a pair of high steps, and raised them to the balcony, while at the same time the alleged husband, with the assistance of his friends, mounted the wall dividing the front garden from the adjoin ing one, when from his great height lie was able to assist the lady to turn round, and before any of her friends could ascend the steps, she lowered herself into his arms, and reached the ground in safety, he was immediately surrounded by his party, who conveyed the lady to a neighbouring public house, followed by his friends and the assembled crowd. Finding all efforts to regain possession of the lady at that moment would be futile, her friends were determined to watch where she would be removed to, but notwithstanding, they showed themselves able tacticians, they were foiled by the other party, and it is understood that the lady was unobservedly introduced into a garden adjoining the pub-. lie-house from which there is an entrance into a by lane, leading towards Fulham, where a fly was in attendance, into which she was placed, and driven off, no one knows where. Her friends, being then unaware of the circumstance of her h av ing been carried off, remained watching the public-house, which was still surrounded by a large crowd, until about seven o'clock in the evening, when a fly drove up to the door, and two or three persons, muffled up in cloaks, instantly got in, and the vehicle was driven off at great speed, in the di rection of Turnham-green. An offer was immediately made of five guineas to any person tracing the destination of the fly, and some persons in a cab instantly followed it to Turn ham-green, when the fly turned round, and retraced its way back to Hammersmith Broadway, the cab following in its wake. At Hammersmith Broadway the fly turned up Brook green-lane, in the direction of Shepherd's-bush, but before reachinc , that place, it pulled up in a dark part of the road, allowed the cab to pass by, and again went back to Hammer smith Broadway, and thence down the Bridge-road, towards the Suspension-bridge. The persons in the cab soon disco vered they were on the wrong scent, and, returning to the Broadway, were enabled to overtake the fly before it could cross the bridge, and after a lengthened chase through all the by-roads in the neighbourhood, the fly finally pulled up in King-street, Hammersmith, when it was found that the whole had been a ruse to deceive the lady's friends, the per sons in the fly being only the son of the landlord of the pub lic-house, and other persons unconnected with the case. We have abstained from inserting the names of the indi c"7 viduals connected with the above sir gular occurrence, as we understand that the family of the lady intend to institute proceedings in the Ecclesiastical and other courts against all the parties concerned in the affair, when the matter will be more fully brought under the notice of the public.—Times. At a party the other day some discussion arose as to the highest mountain in the world :—" I don't know which is," said B—, "but Nicholas Suisse is certainly the deepest valet."—American paper. CAMBRIDGE FRESHMEN.—The number of admissions this term amounts to 426, the chief portion of which were as usual at Trinity and St. John's—the former having 134, and the latter 111. Clare Hall had but 2, and King's 1. On the whole, the admissions have been more numerous than those of last year, which were an increase on thoge of the previous one. STRANGE PRESENT TO HER MAJESTY.—A splendid hind-quarter of wild cattle beef arrived at the Castle on Fri day, as a present to her Majesty from Mr. Leigh, of Lyme park, Cheshire. This extraordinary breed of cattle is pecu liar to the estate of Mr. Leigh, and is considered a great luxury from the extreme richness and delicate flavour of the meat. The carcasses are very small, with a large proportion of fat, and are very similar to Christmas prize meat without its coarseness. The hind-quarter presented . ; to her - Majesty weighed 1461 b. rid ;t5 bil: TARIFF PORK (so CALLED\ —We are informed that ad vantage has been taken of the admission of American pork, which can be retailed of an excellent quality at a very rea sonable price, to get rid of a large quantity of old ship's pro visions; pork condemned as unserviceable for sea use : arid that this half-perished, dry, and unwholesome stuff is offered for sale as the commodity we are for the future to be sup plied with from the United States. There is, of course, so palpable a difference between the latter and the article which is substituted as its representative, that, once seen together, one cannot be mistaken for the other ; but),as the imposition should not be allowed to be successfal,,pud'as unsound is generally believed to be productive of "Misuse, "we would cau tion poor people against the , use of it. Good American pork is not discoloured,,that is, rusty, stale@ bkkarance, or des titute of brine, which are the characteiiities of condemned naval stores.—Shipping Ga-ette. riet,,') CLARA NOVELLO.—The negotiations with Clara Novell° are still going on,.but nothing is definitely settled ; she can not by any possibility appear in London until February or March, and then only for a short season ; she has engage ments abroad until 1846. She . is, what is technically called, " up" in twenty-one operas; THE ARSON CASE.—On Wednesday, at two o'clock, Thomas Henry, was again brought up before Mr. Rushton and Mr. Heywortb, when Mr. Dowling applied for some ex planation regarding a statement made in evidence by Proc ter, Mr. Henry's shopman, relative to the quantity of stock the prisoner had on band at the time the fire took place. Mr. Henry, in the list for indemnification submitted to the insurance office, having claimed £4O, whereas there could not have been a greater amount than £l3 worth on hand at that period; one parcel having been sent to Mr. Hodgson for public sale. Procter stated that there must have been a mistake regarding this, and accounted for it by saying that one of the parcels had not been unpacked. After which the evidence of Mr. William Plyne Helby was taken. He de posed that he was a stay manufacturer at Portsea, and that he had supplied Mr. Henry with stays. The first order was sent off on the 22d of September last. He had been to Mr. Hodgson's room to examine the stays sent there by the pri soner. They were part of those the prisoner had received from the witness. The bill amounted to £37 14s. 6d. He sent another parcel on the Sth instant. This bill amounted to £l3 15s. He sent them by way of London. He re ceived a bill and acknowledgments for both parcels from Mr. Henry, but the bill would not be due till January next. The letters were put in and Procter called, who admitted having written the two letters according to instructions received by him from Mr. Henry. Mr. Helby thought it a large order for stays. Procter was again recalled, who stated that the first parcel of stays had been sent to the auction-room. H e was not aware of the amount of the last order. Mr. Daven port submitted that the stays must either be on the road or burnt. Mr. Dowling inquired of Procter what relation Mr. Shannon was to the prisoner, when Procter answered that Mrs. Shannon was the prisoner's sister. After some other questions were put to Mr. Shannon, the case for the prose cution closed, when Mr. Rushton observed that although the case was wholly circumstantial, yet there was sufficient in his opinion, to enable him to take the responsibiliiy of send ing the prisoner to trial. The whole of the depositions, which were very lengthy, were then read over, when the pri soner was asked, after being cautioned, if he had any state. ment to make, but he declined saying anything. Mr. Davenport then applied to have the prisoner liberated on bail, as Mr. Rushton had been, kind enough to grant a si 8 lar application on a former case. Mr. Rushton would not refuse the application, but would take it into his con sideration. The prisoner wan then removed from the bar. FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. LATEST FROM AMERICA. The packet-ship Rochester, Captain Woodhouse, arrived in the river on Thursday night, from New York. We have papers to the 4th instant inclusive, three days later than the previous advices. The New York Herald of the 4th gives the following account of the state of trade :—" There is a little movement in trade, not such as should be expected at this season. The business at Philadelphia is described as follows :—There has been but a moderate amount of business transacted this week, the farmers and dealers in the interior being engaged in seeding and cropping their corn. It is ex pected that after next week, business, until the closing of all the canals, will become more active. The late foreign ad vicei have produced no effect upon our market—the prices of wheat and flour being too low in England to admit of any shipment from this country." There has been no material alteration in the money market or cotton trade since the last advices. On the night of the 25th ultimo, a range of new and sub stantial buildings, comprising five stores, and known as the Preoleau's Block, in Charleston, were destroyed by fire. The damage is estimated at upwards of 100,000 dollars ; but the greater part is covered by insurance. The intelligence from Canada is to the 26th ult., but it is not of much importance. In the House of Assembly Mr Dunscomb moved an address approving of the recent junc tion of parties, and expressing confidence in the new minis try. The following additional appointments have been made : T. C. Aylwin to be Solicitor-General for Canada East, and Small, Esq., Solicitor-General for Canada West. The accounts from Yucatan, via New Orlean, confirm the surrender of Laguna to the Mexicans without opposition. The latter were waiting for reinforcements from Vera Cruz, and would then proceed against Campeachy, where vigorous preparations were making for their reception. It is stated that the yellow fever bad broken out amongst the Mexicans. According to accounts from Brazil, by a recent law passed by the Provincial Assembly of Pernambuco, the president of that province is authorised to contract with any persons, natives or foreigners, for the improvement of the manufac ture of sugar cane. These persons are to receive a salary not exceeding four contos de reis, or 2,300 dollars per an num. Extract of a letter dated Nas sau, (N.P.) Sept. 17, 1842 : " Since my last we have received most disastrous news from the out islands. Most of the plantation houses and the salt crop at Rum Key, have been nearly destroyed, and the same at Green Key at Watling's Islands. Harbour Island has also suffered severely. Several of the droughing vessels were lost with most of their crews. The schooner Franklin was lost off Cat Island, with all on board but the captain—among the number'a passenger by the name of Sanky, the performer, a late resident of the States, with several hundred dollars worth of property on board." The British and North American royal mail steamer the Columbia, Captain Miller, arrived on Saturday night at this port from Boston and Halifax. She sailed from the former city on the afternoon of the 16th, and from the latter port (where she stopped eleven hours) on that of the 18th instant ; and has made the passage in a few hours above thirteen days. .She has brought thirty-three passengers. We have received by the Columbia New York papers of the 15th and Boston of the 16th instant. The H i lifax jour nals are of the 18th. The Boston papers bring the news of the death of the Rev. Dr. Charming. He expired at Bennington, Vermont, on the evening of Sunday, the 2d instant. His disease was, it is stated, typhus fever. He was in the sixty-second year of his age. He had long been in a feeble state of health, which had compelled him to relinquish active pastoral duties. No material alteration had taken place in the money, stock, or produce markets of New York. The stock market had been extremely dull ; and the advices from England by the Columbia had not had any effect on cotton or flour. The exchange on London was from 1071 to 1081, and on France from sf. 311 to sf. 30. The transactions had been to a very limited amount. . . The Phcenix Bank of Charlestown, in the vicinity o Boston, had failed. The whole of the capital of the bank had, it appears, been loaned to two firms, without adequate se curity, the paper being so arranged, at the time of examina tion by the Bank Commissioners, as to elude the most careful scrutiny. A dividend of profits, of three per cent, had been declared payable on the very day that the bank stopped pay ment! William Wyman, ex-prcsident, and Thomas Brown, jun., ex-cashier of the bank, and W. H. Skinner, of the firm of tanley, Reed, and Co., had been arrested, and held to bail in the sum of 100,000 dollars each, for their appearance for examination before Mr. Justice Buttrick, at Charlestown. The complaints charged that Wyman and Brown had em bezzled the sum of 300,000 dollars from the Phoenix Bank, and also that Mr. Skinner bad conspired with them to per petrate the fraud, which is made larceny by the Revised Statutes. The Canadian news contained in the New York papers is interesting. The acceptance of office by several of the mem bers of the new cabinet having caused the vacation of their seats in the Legislature, the re-election of Mr. Baldwin and Mr. Lafontaine had been opposed by the Conservatives. Mr. Baldwin's opponent was Mr. Murney, who carried the election for the county of Hastings by a majority of forty one. Serious riots had marked the course of the election, the poll having on one occasion been closed. All the blame of the riots is thrown on the Government party. Two com panies of the 23rd Regiment had been stationed in the polling place for the suppression of the riots. Mr. Lafontaine's opponent was Mr. Roe, who, at the close of the second day's poll, was thirty-five votes a-head. At the final close. how ever, Mr. Lafontaine was in the ascendant, and was re elected. The Parliament was prorogued, on the 12th instant, by Sir Charles Bagot, with a short speech, simply thanking the les gislature for the zeal and assiduity with which they had con sidered and perfected the measures of the session, as well as for the supplies they had voted, and exhorting the members to use their perional influence, in the several districts, to promote the harmony and good feeling which it had been his endeavour to establish. The Governor-General had promulgated a letter from Lord Stanley, Secretary for the Colonies, declaring that the Queen had refused to grant :the prayer of certain petitioners, who had asked the crown to make Toronto and Quebec alternate seats of the provincial government. Kingston is to remain the civil metropolis. The head-quarters and six companies of the second bat talion of Coldstream Guards erul:Parked at Quebec for Eng land, on the sth instant, on board the troop-ship Calcutta. Two companies of this battalion and two of the Grenadier Guards remained at QUebec, waiting the arrival of the frigate Pique. The 7th Hussars were also waiting the arrival of transports. The West India mail steam-ship the Medway had arrived at the Balize from Vera Cruz, which she left on the 15th ult. Mr. Carson, bearer of despatches from General Thompson, the United States Minister in Mexico, came passenger by her, and immediately set off for 'Washington, which he reached in the short space of twenty-three days from the city of Mexico. It was understood, that the bad feeling which had existed between the Government of Mexico and that of the United States would be removed, and the dispute between the two republics amicably arranged. General Al monte, Ambassador Extraordinary to the Government of Washington, was on his voyage to the United States. He was intrusted with plenary powers for the settlement of the questions at issue between the two Governments. An expedition, it is stated, was fitting out at Vera Cruz, the destination of which was Galverston, Texas. Troops were collecting in the neighbourhood to form the military Dart of the expedition. The iron war steamer the Guada loupe was at Vera Cruz, preparing to sail for Galveston, for the purpose of reconnoitering the island, and capturing any Texan vessels she might fall in with, previous to the sailing of the expedition for the invasion of Texas by sea. Mean while, a Mexican force of' 1300 men, under the command of General Wall, had invaded Texas by land. On the 11th ult. they completely surprised San Antonio, the frontier town. Fifty-three of the principal citizens were taken prisoners. The Circuit Court was in session, and the judges and officers of the court were made prisoners also. The proclamation of the President, headed " The Enemy Again," ordered the marching forthwith of the militia of Brazoria, Austin, Fort Bend, Colorado, Victoria, Gonzales, Jackson, and Monta gorde countries against San Antonio ; the counties of the upper Brazos and Colorado to march to Austin ; and the ci tizens of the other counties to hold themselves in instant readiness. The orders of the Executive were direct, that, in the event of the evacuation of San Antonio by the Mexicans, hey were to be pursued beyond the Rio Grande and chas tised as " their audacity deserves." In the event of a formal invasion, the western counties were to hold the invaders in check, until the rest of the republic could rally to the rescue. The President of Texas had revoked the blockade of the ports of Mexico, in order to allow a more favourable oppor tunity for the mediation of England and the United States. The Columbia made the passage from this port to Boston in 13 days and 12 hours. The Britannia, which sailed hence on the 4th ultimo, arrived at Halifax on the 16th, in a few hours less than 12 days. She would reach Boston on the 18th. The Belgian steam -ship British Queen, Lieutenant Eyk holt• sailed on the 7th inst. from New York for Portsmouth and Antwerp. The packet-ship George Washington, which sailed, on the next day for this port , arrived on Sunday. 17, B&W rcdi THE OVERLAND ROUTE TO INDIA. The following extract of a letter from an officer in the Madras service, who proceeded to Alexandria via South ampton, the Ist of June, 18-12, by the Great Liverpool steamer, on the way to Bombay, may prove interesting:— " We reached Alexandria on the 17th, and the same even ing I proceeded with my luggage to the canal, where I found two large boats, one for passengers, and the other for luggage. I got into the former after seeing my luggage carefully stowed away in the latter. At about ten p.m., all the passengers were on board, and we were soon off, being towed along by horses. We had no bed that night, but we arrived at Atfeh on the Nile the next day, and embarked on board a small steamer called the Lotus, which left at four p.m. the next day. We reached Grand Cairo at three p.m. the 19th of June, and after visiting the city and dining at Hill's hotel, started in the evening to cross the Desert, in vans drawn by four horses. 1 shared one with three fellow travellers. It is eighty-four miles from Cairo to Suez. We changed horses seven times, but it is trying work for the wretched animals, and the camels too, to judge by the hundreds of their skeletons we passed on the sands. The vans not being on springs, jolted us awfully, as the road is in places very rough and stony. It is cruel work, the cattle employed being horribly chafed and galled, so much so, that it is with difficulty the drivers can persuade them to start, and they are frequently stopping. I had to get out with another passenger and push the carriage on 16 times during the night, to make the horses move. We arrived at Suez a six p.m. the 21st of June. " I lost no time in searching a cabin on board the hon. company's steam-ship Victoria. There were many passengers of the May mail waiting here for the India steamer to take them to Madras and Calcutta, but they were disappointed owing to some accident, so they determined on going to Bom bay in the Victoria. We left Suez on the 22(1 of June, with sixty passengers (about double the usual number), which was any thing but pleasant, as the servants on board were not sufficient to wait on so many. It was with difficulty one could get a cup of tea, a second was out of the question, and we had repeatedly to pray for water before we could get a drink, and the Suez and Aden waters are both very salt, but this is by no means the most disagreeable part of it, as the vessel swarmed with rats and cockroaches. " We arrived at Aden on the 29th of June, and took in coals, which nearly smothered us, and covered every hole and corner of the vessel with minute particles of black dust. It was altogether a disagreeable passage. From some accident the pumps were out of order, and the deck in consequence always floating with foul bilge water. The crew was partly English and partly Africans. We experienced very hot weather in the Red Sea, the thermometer 94 degrees in the shade. As we approached Bombay, we came in for the monsoon rain and wind continually. We arrived at Bombay the Bth of July. " The deck passengers had a very unco mfortable night, as it rained hard, and they were wet, as well by the rain as by the sea, which constantly washed over them. I landed with my luggage at two p.m., and shall proce ed to j oin m y re g i ment aout the 20th instant." -....1:MM1 A rich mine of yellow amber, of a hardness equal to rock crystal, has just been discovered in the neighbourhood of the town of Zehderich, near Potsdam. This discovery is the more remarkable, as up to the present time yellow amber has only been found in the Baltic, or on the shores of that sea. The Pacha of Egypt has forwarded to Sir C. Napier a medal, splendidly enriched with diamonds, and a sword, the hilt and scabbard of which are nearly all composed of solid gold. These presents are of good workmanship, but which will not bear a comparison with that of this country. HYDROPATHY, OR THE COLD WATER CURE. (From the Kentish Observer.) On Friday evening last a very interesting lecture on Hy dropathy, or the Cold Water Cure, was delivered at the Royal Oak Assembly Rooms, Dover, by Captain Claridge, who is the author of a work on the subject. After a few general remarks, the captain related to the audience his own experience of the benefits to be derived from the system. He was suffering severely from rheumatism, headache, and weakness of the eyes, for which he had consulted many physicians, and tried various remedies without effect, when he was advised to try the effect of this method. For this purpose he proceeded, with Ns family, to Grafenberg, in Silesia, the residence of Mr. Priessnitz, the originator of the system: Mr. Priessnitz was a peasant, without education ; and his skill in curing diseases originated in accident. He was severely injured by a kick from a horse, which broke two or three of his ribs. The surgeon whom he consulted said he would be disabled for life. He, however, determined to attempt a cure, which he effected by cold water and spare diet alone. He afterwards performed several cures on men and animals. Grafenberg is situated about half way up one of the mountains of the Sudates. The establishment of Mr. Priessnitz is a very irregular structure, having been built at different periods ; but it has one noble room, which is used for meals and assemblies. The accommodations are very coarse, and in consequence Captain Claridge took up his quarters in the neighbouring town of Freiwaldau. He had not been long here before he was visited by two Englishmen, whom he had persuaded to apply. to Mr. Priessnitz. They assured him they should owe him an eternal debt of gratitude, for their restoration to health. They then invited him to dine at the public table, where they sat down about 300 persons, and the captain took occasion to remark the extraordinary flow of spirits which seemed to pervade the company, so different from what any one would expect in invalids. His friends then pointed out to him some extraordinary cures effected by hydropathy. One was a young lady, who went there with scrofula in her face and neck, so bad as to render her quite an object; in nine months she was so completely recovered as to be considered the beauty of the room. Another case was that of an officer who, in consequence of a wound, had his leg so withered that it was not thicker than his wrist. He shortly had the limb perfectly restored. Many others they pointed out. The table is spread with plain food, and no restriction is placed upon the patients, except in forbidding the use of wine, beer, mustard, pepper, &c. The course prescribed by Mr. Priessnitz, for Captain Cla ridge, was the following :—At about four o'clock in the morning his servant brought a large coarse blanket, in which he was enveloped, and which was tightly fastened round his neck, and at his feet ; then, as many blankets as be could conveniently bear were heaped upon him, and on these a bed, so as effectually to exclude the external air ; in this state he remained till six o'clock. In about an hour, perspiration took place, when the doors and windows were opened, and he was instructed to drink about a pint of cold water, by means of a pipe. At six o'clock the coverings were removed, and he bad his face, chest, and shins washed with cold water, to prevent his taking cold. He then descended to the bath in a pair of straw shoes. In the bath he remained three minutes; dressed, with the windows open, and walked, drinking cold water at various places (to the amount of about eight glasses,) until he arrived at the establishment to break fast, which was composed of milk, butter, and brown bread, with wild strawberries, for five months in the year. Then he descended the mountain by another path, and on his way took a douche bath, in which the stream flowing from the mountain is collected in a pipe. This is suffered to flow first on one part of the body, then on another, and lastly on the part affected. From this he proceeded home, took a sitz bath —a tub with about six or nine inches of water, in which he sat for fifteen minutes ; he then took a foot-bath for the same length of time, the servant rubbing his feet while they were in the water. For the weakness of his sight he lay on the floor upon his back, and placed the back of his head in a basin of water for five minutes. He dined at one o'clock ; at three repeated the same process, and walked until nine. For supper be ate the same as at breakfast. His daughter, who was supposed to be consumptive, but who Mr. Priessnitz pronounced had merely outgrown her strength, being, as he expressed it, too tall for her breath, underwent a similar pro cess, except that, to produce perspiration she was enveloped in a wet sheet, instead of a blanket, and at night she wore a wet cloth upon her chest, and another round her body. In less than three months she was perfectly recovered. The Captain remarked that he could see no reason why man should not live to 200 years of age. The inferior animals, it is calculated, live eight times as long as it takes them to arrive at maturity, and why not man ? He then ad duced several examples of longevity. He gave an extract from a work by Dr. Rausse, to the following effect :—" It is impossible for any man to die of any acute disease, while the patient has sufficient strength left, to allow of water producing its re-action in him," He said that people never died at Grafenberg of any aeute dis order. He states that there are now a hundred establish ments on the same plan in Germany, and gave an account of the number of patients who have consulted Mr. Priess nitz in each year, from 1829, its commencement, to 1841. The total amount is 7,000. TERRIFIC AFFRAY BETWEEN GAMEKEEPERS AND POACHERS.-MURDER OF A KEEPER: (From the Chester Chronicle of Friday.) We regret to have to record a most sanguinary combat which took place on Saturday evening last between the keepers of John Tollemache, Esq., of Tilston Lodge, M.P., and Ed win Corbett, Esq., of Darnhall, and a party of poachers, and which resulted in the defeat of the former, one of whom, named Richard Chesters, died in a few hours afterwards from the injuries he received in the conflict. The following are the facts as near as we have been able to collect them : It appeared that, from some information that had been ob tained by Robert Bostock, keeper to Mr. Corbett, he had reason to apprehend that a poaching party would be out on the night in question. He called that morning on Daniel Bebbington, who was engaged by Mr. Tollemache to look after the game at Wettenhall, and told him that he expected there would be some poachers in Wettenhall-wood that night ; and they arranged to meet at the Wettenhall side of i the wood at eleven o'clock. About nine o'clock on that evening Bostock called upon John Noden, waggoner to Mr. Corbett, and John Bebbington, under -keeper to the same gentleman. They went to Wettenhall-wood as watch, and found Daniel Bebbington and. Thomas Bebbington, his grandson, a young boy, who had heard the report of fire-arms a few minutes previous, and were awaiting the arrival of the remainder of the keepers and their party. It was a moonlight night. They went some distance by the side of that part of the wood called Boffey's Pipe, and crossed a field of John Boffey's, gtvhich adjoined the Pipe, where they saw four or five men, who, as soon as they saw them (the keepers), called to them to stand off. Three of the men had guns, one of them was identified by Bostock as Jos. Baker, and one of them had a bludgeon. Those who had guns pointed them towards the keepers. As the keepers advanced the poachers retreated slowly backwards, and Baker cried out, " their eyes, don't let us go back, let us stand !" Daniel Bebbington said, "My lads, we are five as well as ye," counting his grandson as one. When they came to close quarters, John Bebbington seized hold of one of the men, and seized his gun by the muzzle, and threw him down. In-the struggle the gun went off, as the poacher had hold of the lock. This man was dressed in dark clothing. Daniel Bebbington came up during the struggle, and threw himself upon -the man, and John Bebbington left him in order to pursue the other poachers, and immediately another of the gang came up, dressed in a short darkish coloured slop, and struck Daniel Bebbington over the head and arms, and en abled the other men to escape. Robert Bostock seized the man who had the bludgeon, and was beaten 'severely by him ; the second blow knocked him down, and stunned him, and his gun was taken from him and discharged. When John Bebbington left Daniel Bebbington in charge of the poacher he bad prostrated, he pursued John Baker who had run alongside of the wood for a short distance, and had during the pursuit got over the hedge into the wood, John Bebbing ton being close to him, and in fact was with him as he got over the hedge, Baker's gun being under him. They had a struggle, when Richard Chesters, another of the keepers (and who afterwards died of the injuries he received,) came up, and the two secured Baker. John Bebbington said to his prisoner, " I know thee." He called him Duke Baker; and he answered, " Well, thou knows me, let me go." In about five minutes, wjiilst still in the wood, the keepers heard some men who were coming up the side of the wood, calling out—" Now my lads, how are you coming on ?" and John Bebbington, who supposed they were the remainder of the keepers, said "We are here." They then came up, there being three of them, and stood on the hedge top, when Bebbington saw that they were the com panions of his prisoner Baker. He said to Cheaters, " Shoot the first man that comes over." Chesters then took up his (Bebbington's) gun, lying by his side, but held it in his hand, and did not present it. The men then came over the hedge, when Bebbington then let Baker go. One of the poachers, tde man in the slop, struck Bebbington on the head and stunned him, and he received several other blows, which in duced him to keep calling upon Chesters to shoot. The men then left Bebbington, and attacked Chesters. What took place then Bebbington is unable to say, as be was !stunned by the blows be had received, and when he came to himself he was in the brook close by. Bostock, after the conflict he had been engaged in was ended, and he had recovered from the blows- he had received, went towards the place where Bebbington had had the struggle with Baker, but he did not find him. as he had gone away ' but he saw the body; of Chesters lying there. He saw four men just out of the wood,' and one of them looking through the hedge, but he could not recognise any of them. He went acress the wood towards Wettenhall, and in the field next to the wood he met Bebbington, who was at that time bleeding very much from a bad cut across his head. They went to the'public-house at Wettenhall for assistance, and having obtained it, they went for Chesters, whom they found lying on the ground, where Bebbington had last seen him before he was attacked by the poachers; and they carried him to the Boot and Slipper public-house. Whilst the above conflicts were going on John Noden had a struggle with the poacher armed with the bludgeon, and managed to fight him for a considerable time with his stick, and ultimately wrenched the bludgeon from him. They then got into the hedge and had a severe struggle, when the poacher got uppermost, and jumped with his feet upon Noden's belly, and then set off into the wood. Noden was so much injured as not to be able to get up for some time ; and when he did get up the men bad all gone away. When Richard Chesters was taken to the Boot and Slipper public-house he was in a state of insensibility, and the atten dance of Mr. Job Harrison, of Tarporley, surgeon, was ob tained as soon as possible. He got there about 12 o'clock. The moment he bad examined the wounds, which were chiefly about the head, there being a severe fracture of the skull over the right eye, he considered the case as hopeless. He, how ever, immediately bled him, and used such remedial means as the case required. He continued with him until five o'clock ; his head was much swollen, caused by the contusions and effusions of blood under the scalp ; there being also con siderable hemorrhage from the right ear. He saw him again at half-past nine o'clock, when he was much worse. He died about half-past 12 o'clock on that day. On Wednesday, an inquest was held before the Cheshire coroner, when a verdict of " Wilful murder against Charles Hitchen, William Warburton, Samuel Cousins, Joseph Ba ker, and Richard Evans," and the four prisoners in custody were immediately committed on his warrant to Chester Cas tle, to take their trial at the next assizes for that offence ; and were conveyed there the next morning by Mr. Baker and his assistants. yV It is expected that Baker will not be able long to evade the search making for him. It is rumoured in legal circles that, in consequence of the declining state of bis health, the veteran Lord Lyndhurst will shortly retire from the woolsack, which his brilliant talents have so pre-eminently adorned, and that he will he succeeded pro tern. by Lord Abinger, now Lord Chief Baron, who will shortly afterwards retire in favour of Sir William Follett. These changes will involve the elevation of the present Attorney-General to the dignity of Chief Baron, and in all probability the promotion of Mr. Fitzroy Kelly and Mr. Justice Cresswell.—Herald. CURIOUS COINCIDENCE. — LAW !—A proof of the " glo rious uncertainty of the law" was shown at the last quarter sessions for the county of Dorset. Two m en were indicted jointly for a felony : upon being called on to plead guilty or not guilty, one of them pleaded " guilty," and the other " not guilty." At that moment an attorney stepped up to the prisoner who pleaded guilty, and told him he was employed to defend him : the prisoner then withdrew his plea of guilty, and pleaded not guilty. The trial proceeded, and at the. close the jury acquitted the one who had at first pleaded guilty, and convicted the other who had pleaded not guilty. —Sherborne Journal. THEATRE-ROYAL, LIVERPOOL.

We have already cautioned the Conservatives of Liverpool to be cautious of the dishonesty and trickery of the Radical faction. The latest instance which has come under our notice is contained in the following tissue of misrepresentations, issued at the last hour, by a Mr. David M'Clellan, " Chair man to Mr. Fawcett's Committee," with the evident view of damaging the character of the Conservative candidate for Pitt-street Ward. Is Mr. M'Clellan disappointed that he has not been put forward in Mr. Faweett's place? We give the document in question entire. LOOK ON IT, electors of Pitt-street, and then MARK ITS GROSSNESS ! " TO THE ELECTORS OF PITT-STREET WARD. " Every man in the Ward will admit that no individual is a fit Candidate for Public Honours unless he has given some proof of Public spirit. " What proof has Mr. Taylor ever given that he possesses this indispensable qualification, in any degree? " Every one will admit (and none more readily than our highly esteemed member, JAMES ASPINALL, Esq.) that a liberal support of the Benevolent Institutions of the Town is another indispensable qualification of a Public Man what ever may be his political opinions, or even his religious pro fessions. " To what extent does Mr. Taylor possess this most im portant qualification ? " He tells us, in his Address, that ' he and his ancestors' have been making money in this town for the last fifty years.' On looking, however, through the Reports, for the last year, of no less than Fifteen of the Liverpool Benevolent Institu tions, it will be found that HE only subscribes to THREE ! ! ! Three Guineas being the Grand Total of his Charitable Contributions ! " Although of so ' ancient' a family, HE DOES NOT SUBSCRIBE TO ANY ONE of the following CHARI TIES.— The Dispensaries. The Northern Hospital. The District Provident Society. The School for the Blind. The Eye and Ear Infirmary. The Deaf and Dumb Institution. The Ladies' Charity. The Refuge for the Destitute. The Charitable Society. The Penitentiary. The Seamen's Friend Society. But, most extraordinary of all for a `Bible Christian not even to the CHURCH OF ENGLAND SCHOOL SOCIETY " It is needless to state that, hitherto, the Candidates for the representation of Pitt-street Ward have been among the foremost supporters of the Local Charities—Mr. Fawcett's name is an addition to the honourable list. " Let it not be said that this is an uncharitable Personali ty. It is a statement of Public reasons for the refusal of Public Honours, and, if acted upon by the Electors, will convince our Men of Wealth and `Ancient Family' that, in Liverpool at least, the PERSONAL AMBITION of the would be great cannot be gratified, unless by contributing to the Public Good and to the alleviation of the PERSONAL MI SERY of the really unfortunate. " LET PITT-STREET WARD HAVE THE HO NOUR OF TEACHING THIS LESSON TO WEALTHY AND AMBITIOUS MEN OF ALL PARTIES " DAVID M'CLELLAN, " Chairman of Mr. Fawcett's Committee." Now for the reply to this farrago of MEANNESS and MA LIGNITY. Read it, electors, in the following circular, just issued by Mr. Taylor's committee. MARK IT WELL, Electors,"and show that you do so, by placing the slandered Conservative abovethe candidate who has permitted this man thus to slander a man of sterling worth, and a gentleman : " TO THE ELECTORS OF PITT-STREET WARD. " The Committee for conducting the ELECTION of JOHN TAYLOR, Esq. beg leave to call your attention to the an nexed extract from a SCURRILOUS circular, distributed among the Electors this morning, and of which you have, no doubt, received a copy : " He (Mr. Taylor) tells us, in his address, that 'he and his ancestors' have been making money in this town `for the last fifty years.' On looking, however, through the reports of no less than Fifteen of the Liverpool Benevolent Institu tions, it will be found that HE only subscribes to THREE ! ; Three Guineas being the Grand Total of his Charitable Con tributions " " The committee regret that they have not had time afforded them to refute, in a proper manner, this evidently most laboured production ;' but, in answer thereto, submit to your consideration the following List of the `'Pt:blic In stitutions of the Town," which have benefitted by Mr. TAY LOR'S liberality : Liverpool Auxiliary Bible Society £1 1 0 Annual Sub ~ Strangers' Friend Society 1 1 0 Southern orToxtethHosnital 1 1 0 „ Botanic Gardens 1 11 6 „ Infirmary.. „ Blue Coat Hospital „ Northern Hospital 1 1 0 „ Female Orphan Asylum Edge Hill and Windsor Mechanics' _ _ n ~ School. „ National Schools Liverpool Wesleyan Day and Sunday Schools 1 1 0 „ „ District Provident Society . 5 0 0 Donation. „ Strangers' Friend Society .. 5 0 0 „ ALL LAST YEAR ! So that, instead of the Three Charities, and Three Guineas, we have here a List of FOURTEEN DIFFERENT IN STITUTIONS to which Mr. TAYLOR ANNUALLY SUBSCRIBES, to the amount of TWENTY-THREE POUNDS ONE SHILLING and SIXPENCE!!! " The Radical Committee have taken care to inform you what Mr. Taylor HAS NOT DONE, but they have also taken care to keep back what Mr. Fawcett HAS DONE for the Pub lic Charities. _ " In fairness and justice to both parties, they should set before you an impartial statement of what our opponent has done in this particular. " Former contests in this Ward have generally been con ducted on FAIR and HONOURABLE GROUNDS, and until the present instance, the different parties in this Ward have avoided personal scurrility. "To what to attribute the present most atrocious and LYING attack, the committee are at a loss,—unless, indeed, it be to the well-known personal SPLEEN and DISAPPOINTED AMBITION of a person who has lately been put forward as Chairman (par excellence) of the Radical committee. " LET PITT-STREET NV ARD HAVE Tli E HONOUR OF TEACHING THIS LESSON TO MEN OF ALL PARTIES, that UNFOUNDED ABUSE and PERSO NAL SCURRILITY will not prevail with HONEST ELECTORS !! ! WATKIN 'WILLIAMS, Chairman of Mr. Taylor's Committee. We may make an observation which will in all probability strike most of our readers, that of course Mr. Taylor's com mittee have only been able to ascertain the amount of his annual subscriptions to the various charities—his casual benevolence is not of course touched upon. TO CORRESPONDENTS. In consequence of an accident occurring at the moment of going to press, we have been compelled to miss the first post. We are sorry to decline the communication of our intelligent correspondent, " S. K.," but for reasons which we need not enter into are compelled to do so. The manuscript is at his service. The " infidel placard" of which our correspondent complains is not a socialist production, but proceeds from a forge which " Indignans" would not suspect, but which the size and colour of the placards fully prove to us—Verbrzni sat. The Albion of yesterday expresses its surprise that " Mr. Stone, the superintendent of the Corporation Schools, at tended, and spoke at the meeting of Mr. Houghton's friends in Scotland Ward last week." Perhaps our con temporary's surprise will be diminished when he learns that the gentleman referred to did no such thing. It was Mr. Stone, of Everton, and not "Mr. Stone, the superin tendent," &c., who attended the meeting in question. THE MUNICIPAL ELECTIONS. In a second edition of the STANDARD, which will be published at half-past four, we purpose giving the result of the municipal contests which, to-day, will agitate the town. We have made arrangements for giving all the occurrences of interest in every ward up to the close of the poll, and, for this purpose, have engaged an extra force of reporters ; and, as great interest is naturally attached to the proceedings, we have determined to devote to them much more than the space usually allotted. rI3 Elbtrpoot &tanban. TUESDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 1, 1842. The near approach of the period at which the chair of the mayoralty is vacated affords us an opportunity, which we embrace with pleasure, of recording our thanks to the gentleman by whom it has this year been occupied, for the services which he has on all occasions freely rendered. It was a distinguishing mark of the confidence reposed by his fellow-townsmen in the sincerity with which he entertained the sound and constitutional principles of Conservatism and, we may add, Protestantism, which placed Mr. Leigh in the enviable position of the first Conservative Mayor since the passing of the Municipal Reform Bill. During the whole of his year of office we cannot point to one act or one vote by which that confidence has been shaken. In all the stormy discussions over which he has presided, we cannot point to one decision or one expression which can have pained any member of the Council, however opposed to him in opinions ; or left an unkindly feeling towards him in the breasts of any section of his fellow-townsmen out of doors. Surely it is worthy of no light praise thus to have acquitted himself—thus to have earned respect from men of every party, whilst adhering, with a firmness almost unequalled, to the maintenance of his own convictions as to the course which he ;t•as hound to.. pursue upon public questions. No trimming in politics—no hesitation between the right path and the expedient path—no balancing between principle and popular approbation—have marked the mayoralty of Mr. Leigh. Upon all the important topics which have been agitated in the Council during the past year, he has shewn himself the staunch and fearless supporter of the principles for the maintenance of which in the local legislature the voices of the burgesses of our town have been so energetically lifted up; and he will retire from his onerous station the same consistent and unflinching Conservative whom his fellow-townsmen esteemed worthy of receiving the first mark of honour in their power to bestow. We cannot conclude this brief tribute without noticing the kindly feeling with which Mr. Leigh has exercised the magisterial powers conferred upon him by his office. These powers, or at least some of them which were acquired under the recent Improvement Act, are of a most stringent nature, and might, in the hands of a man of tyrannical disposition, be made productive of great oppression. In no case, however, . .• _ _ has the present Mayor, whilst applying them to their legitimate intent—the preservation of public morality and order in the borough—allowed them to trench severely upon individual rights or convenience; and for the performance of this portion of his duties, the public, and individuals as well, have abundant reason to be satisfied with his rule. • `,l •,boC • We have never concealed our impression, not a lightly ' 1 formed one, that of all men in the British House of 11 ' J Commons, Doctor Polyglot Bowring, M.P. for Bolton, is the greatest charlatan. There are weak men in abundance in that house--men politically dishonest — men ready to gorge and fatten upon a misled people ; but the man in whom all these qualities are concentrated is this very peripatetic tool of Whig Radicalism—Dr. I3owring himself ! But what of the Doctor now ? our readers will ask. 'We wish, must be our answer, to bring before you the latest sample of the Doctor's conduct; and to found upon his cunningly glossed inventions a few re marks of our own. At a meeting, then, of that incendiary body—the Anti-Corn-Law League, held in Manchester on Friday morning last, the Doctor is reported to have indulged in the following statement. We quote from the Lon- don Times of Saturday : " 1 dare say that many of those mound me have read an exceedingly interesting book unich has been lately published by Charles Dickens, whose tact is 3o exquisite, and whose benevolence and whose sympathies are thrown over so wide a field of thought and action. llave you read his account of the factories at Lowell—(hear. hear,)—of the manner in which they are dressed, associated even with elegance,—of the piano on which they play--ot• the libraries which circu late among them—of the periodical in which they write? (Applause.) I wish the working people of En g land would study that affecting picture, and ask themselves whether this state of felicity is owing to any impediment put upon the im provement of machinery—to any " ten hours'-factory bill"— to any interference in the question of wages. Nothing of the sort is there required. It is perfectly anr, therefore, that their happiness is not attributable to those delusive pro tections which some of our working class are desirous to possess, but that it grows out of circumstances more inti mately associated with the emancipation of trade than would appear at first sight and on the surface of things." We say nothing of the truth or falsehood of the picture, as painted by Mr. Dickens, of the state of working classes employed in the factories of Lowell — of their dress, their piano -fortes, their circulating libraries, or " the periodical in which they write." A great portion of it may be true. We know that the contrast between the condition of the factory classes in America and in Great Britain is decidedly in favour of the former. But we know as well that neither Doctor Bowring nor any leading member of the league, whom he addressed, believed any other than that Mr. Charles Dickens had been outrageously humbugged by the Yankee millowners, when he was induced to credit all this rubbish which he has so innocently given to the world. Why, we could shew Charles Dickens English factories—which, if seen upon a show day, when the ill-dressed, the dwarfed, the ragged, the pre maturely old, were huddled out of sight—when the appliances of whitewash and chlorides had been used, 1 floors neatly swept, and everything unsightly removed from before the eyes of the visitor—would be just the kind of places over which a utilitarian philosopher of the Bowring school would chuckle. Mr. Charles Dickens is not the first philanthropist who has been humbugged into a belief in the delights and comforts of a factory life; and there was not a member present on Friday who did not laugh in his sleeve at the " smartness" of the Yankee who had gulled him into the belief that Lowell was a second Arcadia. Admitting, however, which we are ready to do, that the working classes in these factories are infinitely better circumstanced than in those of Great Britain, how does that fact advance the arguments of the Anti-Corn-Law League ? The Doctor says that the British factory population " should ask them whether this state of felicity" (!)-which consists of piano playing and periodical writing—" is owing to any impediment put upon machinery—to any ten hours' factory bill'—to any interference in the question of wages." Perhaps the Doctor would tell us how the British factory girl or boy, tolling thirteen hours per day, could find time for either of these felicitous occupations !—how the broken-hearted and debased adult could bend himself to the pursuits of polite literature ! Oh, Doctor, Doctor ! what a forty-horse power of assurance it must have required to even touch upon such a subject in the presence of an assembly of free-trade cotton lords ! " It is perfectly clear," proceeds this political quack, " that their happiness"—the happiness of the Lowell factory operatives—" is not attributable to those pro tections which some of our working classes are de sirous to possess, but that it grows out of circutn stances associated with the emancipation of trade." What ! has the American manufacturer no protections? Is it the principle of " emancipation of trade" which protects the American cotton manufacture, by duties of forty and fifty per cent. on British cottons ? IN r e scarcely know whether the charlatan who, gave to the world such statements is me re to be de-pied than the body which listened to him %%ilim.. having the honesty to kick him out of their yr( Fence ! The American factory popil'aion—no one knows better than Dr. Bowring—is in possession of greater comforts than the wretched ►laves of mir own land, because the domestic labour of America is p• o ected, whilst that of Great Britain 14 not. The former n eed not the protection of a ten hour,' bill, because in the United States, as yet, neither capital nor n achinery are absolute lords over human labour. '1 he Arr.er:can fac tory operative is not, like his English brother, chained down, by circumstances, to the loom or the spinning frame. The field of labour in that land is a wide and an open one; domestic industry is remunerative, and manufacturing' capital must hold out the inducements of high wages, comforts, and even luxuries, before the operative will barter the free air of heaven, and the enjoyment of health and liberty, for the slavish and unwholesome drudgery of factory labour. But, we ask, why has this picture been pressed before the eyes of the manufacturing population of Great Britain at the present moment ? The reason is obvious. The sedition-mongers of the League are busy in their vocation. They aim at inflaming the passions of starving men by pointing to the condition of the American operative ; and they will not succeed• The factory population of Great Britain know too well the character of the Bowrings, the Cobdens, and other lights of the world of "liberalism," to be caught by so palpable a trap. They can look back to years of bloated prosperity and, say,—what did a " liberal' millocracy do then for the comforts and the health and welfare of the overtasked workman ? and the answer of an observant world will be—NoTHING! They folded themselves in their selfishness, and scouted the claims, to the possession of a station in the world, of the very class whom they now affect to patronise and to pity ! We have been much a mused at the subtlety, and at the same time utterly disgusted with the hypocrisy, of the Radicals setting themselves up as mentors in re ligious matters, and, more especially, on a subject on which it has been their wont to bestow the most unlimited abuse.
