Through the influence of your treatment all these dis eases have completely disappeared, and I was restored in three months to health and happiness. I feel no longer any attack of my gout ; I am regaining the full power of my arm and leg ; the deafness was cured in forty days. I consider myself a new man now.

TO CORRESPONDENTS. We received by the Niagara, from Halifax, and pub lished exclusively in the NORTHERN DAILY TIMES of Monday, a telegraphic despatch from our private correspondent in New York, giving two days later news from the United States than that received by any other newspaper in England. We obtained it by a considerable outlay of money and exertion. Two of our contemporaries, the Mercury and the Standard have appropriated, the former the entire, and the latter a portion of this news without acknowledgment. Our London contemporaries, the Daily News, and Morning Herald, have exposed themselves to the same charge. We hope in future, when taking exclusive information from our columns, that they uill do us the justice to acknowledge the source. A communication signed "a P. C." has reached us, but the letter is couched in such strong language that we cannot give it insertion. The letter of aP.C. is founded on a circumstance which he alleges to have occurred in the neighbourhood of Colquit-street, on Friday last. It may be thus briefly stated : Captain Greig, the head constable, was riding in the locality above referred to, on Friday, when an officer passed on his way to Cornwallis street to receive his pay. The chief constablehailed him and asked him "where he was going ? " The man replied in a broad Cumberland accent, " I reckon I'm going for my wages." "Do you know who I am," was the next query on the part of the superior officer, to which the man bluntly replied, "yes, you're the captain." Upon this Captain Greig is said to have instantly dismounted, and given his horse in charge to another officer, who happened to be passing at the time. He then marched the man directly to Seel-street station, where a number of officers were assembled, delivered an address on the necessity of all the men in the police force paying marked respect and de- , ference, by language and demeanour, on all and every occasion to their officers, more especially to the head constable, and as a warning to others, absolutely suspended the officer to whom we have referred, and who had not ' intended the slightest disrespect towards Captain Greig. This is the statement which has reached us; but of course we cannot vouch for its accuracy. However, if the facts be correctly stated, to our mind the proceeding was rather arbitrary, and far more likely to induce a feeling on the part of the members of the force very contrary to that for which it was evidently intended. Whatever is intended for insertion must be authenticated by the name and address of the writer; not necessarily for publication, but as a guarantee of his good faith. We cannot undertake to return rejected communications. All communications, Books for Review, etc., to be for warded to the Editor must be addressed to the Publisher, CHARLES WiLiziEu, and those from London may be seen to the care of Messrs. Simpkin, Marshall, and Co. itfatijtrit (6itttts. WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 23, 1853. THE great conventional bugbear, respecting Russia's vast military powers, is rapidly giving place to a more correct estimate of the CZAR'S real strength and resources. The intelligence received since Friday last, is all confirmatory of the victo rious career of the Turks. The retreat, and re• crossing of the Danube by the Turkish army, were steps which (the sudden commencement of the rainy season rendered absolutely necessary. While the Russians, from having been drawn into the field from their winter cantonments, will be left exposed to the full severity of the weather in a country which becomes entirely inundated as the season progresses. Prince STIRBEY has already declined the honors of administering the affairs of the Principalities under these circumstances, and has left Jassy for St. Petersburgh. What hand the army will make of the weather and inunda tions of Wallachia remains to be seen. The Turks, in the meantime, hold Widdin and Kalafat, which gives them the command of both sides of the Danube, while it enables them to keep open the direct line of communication with Sophia, the , Balkan -Mountains, AdrianOple, and Constantinople. This position is also sufficiently near the Hungarian frontier to enable OMAR PACHA THE NORTHERN to keep Austria in check, and to take instant advantage of any favorable turn the fortune of war may offer. Thus far, then, it will be seen that the Turkish leaders have shown themselves fully equal to the task of defending their own rights and interests, and this fact brings us back again to the gross folly and impropriety shown by the Turkish government in giving the command of large and valuable divisions of the army to un known and untried men, such as General PRIM, who is not only a RuSsian by convention but by nature—a man unknown to the world, except as a general and follower of Don CARLOS, whose outrages on humanity are not likely to be forgotten for ages to come. If such a man is to be trusted in a war where his views, feelings, and interests all hang on the side of the enemy, why not employ CABRERA at once? He is really a gallant and daring mountain warrior. But who would trust him? Then why suffer PRIM to take a leading part on the side to which he does not belong ? In London, the Whig ministers are losing the confidence of their oldest adherents, because their present leader is un known in the struggles for constitutional freedom. And if the Turks be alive to their own interests they would just as much think of trusting a Span ish Carlist as the reformers of Finsbury would think of expecting a large and enlightened measure of parliamentary reform from Lord ABERDEEN. The season being now broken, military opera tions on the banks of the Danube must be greatly impeded, if not wholly suspended, for some time. And we sincerely hope that this season, be it ever so short, may be employed in bringing this most unjustifiable war to a speedy and successful issue for the Turks. This, we still contend, can only be done by opposing the united force of Constitutional Monarchy to the despotic rulers of Europe. If LOUIS NAPOLEON be really sincere in his pro fessions of friendship for the Turldsh empire, he has, thus far, gone no further than the ABERDEEN ministry. If the EMPEROR of France is waiting for some event which shall render the assistance of France unnecessary, or which shall at once force him to an immediate armed intervention, what will be his ulterior views as to the affairs of Europe. In adopting the political system of Europe as it at present exists, NAPOLEON has given the strongest assurance of his disposition to preserve the peace of the world. But should he be goaded into a base and unjust war at the beginning of hiS reign, it would be rather too much to expect that he will swallow all that the hearts of the BONAPARTES have been, and will ever remain, pitted against. Are our secret diplomatists prepared to throw any light on this subject ? Can they consistently join France in a war, which, if it becomes Bona partist, will secure the prostration of Russia by the restoration of the Sovereignties of Europe, whiCh have been so daringly usurped by the Gnu ? It is manifestly the interest of England, that Russian ambition and perfidy should be at once and for ever prostrated, and that the lost nation alities of Constitutional States should be restored. But will the ABERDEEN Ministry admit the fact, and act up to such an hypothesis ? Here is the great ABERDEEN dilemma ! There is no difficulty in pre paring an agreement for the supply of troops and munitions of war by France and England—but there must be a terrible cloud of darkness surrounding our Cabinet, as to the result to be expected from follow ing France through the swamps of the Danubian States. Indeed, if we might venture an opinion on the subject, we would say that when LOrdABERDEEN joins in a Bonapartist war on the Continent of Eu rope, that fabulous day will have arrived when the sky is to fall to enable us to catch larks. Taking this perfectly rational view of the. sub ject, we are not at all surprised at the recent anti Russian meetings in London, expressing a " want of confidence in her Majesty's Government, as it is at present constituted with reference to our foreign affairs." LAST Monday morning the metropolis was dis graced by another tragic spectacle, in which CAL CRAFT acted his accustomed part. Another victim has been sacrificed in keeping with the stern requirements of Justice (?) and the inexorable Law has been appeased by the blood of a mnrderer! MOBBS, in a moment of jealous fury, destroyed the life of his wife, and then made a deadly aim upon his own existence, by severing an artery. To the surprise of the medical profession he recovered. But the law seized its victim, and with savage inflexibility demanded " blood for blood !" During the two months the unfortunate man was lying in the London Hospital he was heard to say : " Why do they endeavour to make me well, when it is only to hang me—why don't they let me die now . 2 " A very natural and a very rational question. But then the Law, forsooth ! could not have its course, and Justice could not, by this means, be appeased ! GIBBON says, that the laws of a people form the most important portion of their history. And there is not the slightest doubt of it. A nation makes its laws ; and those laws afford a very safe criterion by which to estimate the character of nation. In order to ascertain whether it be barba. rous or civilized one has merely to peep into its Statute-book. All is then told, concisely but cor rectly We agree with MONTESQUIEU, that " laws are ne cessary relations springing from the nature of things." In all ages they have been held sacred and inviolable. The THEMIS of ancient Mythology was feigned to be the daughter of Heaven and Earth. Society without laws to bind men together, would be as loose, unconnected, and shifting, as the sands of the desert. Indeed DEMOSTHENES went so far as to characterize good laws as " the inven tion and gift of G-on." With just laws no upright man can quarrel ; but when the principles which guided society in barbarous and feudal times still live, and move, and have their being, in our own day and generation, then, indeed, the matter assumes a totally different aspect. Nations, like individuals, cling tenaciously to usages, however cruel, when once custom has formed them into a habit. Every day one abuse or another is being rectified. " Com missions of Inquiry" aro raking up and bringing to light the musty mal-practices of Corporations — absurd national customs are fast growing into a state of desuetude—the public Press is loud in exposing long-grown and deep-rooted evils—Lord BROUGHAM aims at reforming the law itself—whilst even the sight of a wretched human creature dang ling from the gallows-tree fails to afford the multi. tude the amusement it was wont. These are cer tainly gratifying marks of progress—but still there remains one foul stain upon our Statute-book, which demands immediate expurgation—viz :—the inhu man, impolitic, and barbarous requirement of life for life. We willingly and cheerfully admit that the ex treme penalty of the law is carried out but in few cases, compared with former times. A mild and merciful spirit is a3tuating the popular mind of this country—and even the character of our legal tribunals themselves are becoming daily Subservient and obedient thereto. The adminis trators of justice, there can be little doubt, feel oftentimes the difficulty and onerousness of their position—when they have to decide between their own feelings and convictions on the one hand, and the stern and absolute demands of the Law on the DAILY TIMES. other: Why should our public justiciaries be placed in so unenviable and harassing a position ? Capital punishment is a capital mistake. There is no mistake about that: It cannot be justified upon any pretence whatever. It had its origin in the wild cry for " vengeance," which has charac terised barbarous men and barbarous times. Traces of a similar policy may be found in the early history of all civilized nations ; whilst where so ciety is either in a state of savageism, or without organization, the same rampant spirit is percep tible. What the Indians call " vengeance"—the colonists of Australia term " Lynch-law" —we refine by 'using the smoother word, " Justice !'' which, in strict phraseology, means nothing more or less than " an eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth !" But why should such a diabolical statute law be suffered to go unrepealed ? What benefit does it confer, that it should be permitted to re main in force ? None, certainly, that we know of. It cannot atone for crime. Neither can it benefit the criminal. And society, so far from being made the better, is invariably made the worse. Instead of having a salutary effect upon the viciously-dis posed, it tends the rather to excite their evil pro pensities; and many take their first lesson in crime—which they sometimes expiate on the gal lows—in presence of the scaffold, the felon, and the hangman ! A fearful reflection, this ! But several have confessed as much just as the noose was about to be placed round their necks, and whilst rigorous Justice was panting for its victim. The inviolability of human life is the specious and flimsy pretext adduced by the supporters of the nefarious doctrine of capital punishment. But, assuredly, if human life be inviolable in one instance it must be so in all. How can such a claim be put forward as long as we wilfully violate the very principle for which we contend - ? Mur der is murder all the world over—whether per petrated by a highwayman—a midnight assassin— or an ermined judge. No legal enactment can justify such a proceeding. And those who take upon themselves to pronounce sentence of death upon any man, assume an immense and truly awful responsibility. The words of the unhappy culprit who has just undergone the extreme penalty our law awards, when gaunt Death and rigid Justice were striving for the mastery, are well worthy of serious reflection. They eminently serve to " point a moral" :—" Why do they endeavour to make me well, when it is only to hang me—why don't they let me die now ?" How long is English civilization to be impeded, and the glory of the English nation tarnished, by such inhuman deeds ? What ever alternative be adopted let us, in GOD'S name, get rid of the black cap, the gallows, and the hang-man ! Under the head " Bullion imports and exports," will be found in this day's paper, a letter from Mr. H. C. LANGTON. This gentleman is a stock broker, and anything coming from such a source on Monetary matters is deserving of attention. Mr. LANGTON commences by asking us to allow him " to point out a serious mistake," into which he states we " and other gentlemen of the Press are apt to fall." Now, as all Editors of newspapers, according to Nir. LANGTON'S notions, are given to making " seriqus mistakes," the public will feel much more disposed to pardon our blunders than they will those of Mr. - LANGTON, considering he is by pro fession a Monetary man. After letting us into the astounding secret that " large sums of the precious metals are constantly going out, of which there is no entry at the custom house or any other record," he goes on to say : "In addition to the commercial indebtedness of England to the nations with whom she is trading, requiring Bullion to liquidate the balance, there must always be a considerable amount of coin going out in the pockets of emigrants ; and there is certainly a not insignificant portion of the precious metals bought as they arrive for consumption in the arts and sciences. The de mand for this last named purpose is daily in creasing in this country, but more especially so in France." Now, when Mr. LANGTON couples the vast sub ject of England's commercial indeT)tedness with trifles in emigrants' pockets, and the paltry amount of gold which is required for " the arts and sciences," he must be much at a loss to know how to estab lish the " serious mistake" into which, he says, we have fallen. In the article to which Mr. LANGTON refers, we showed very clearly that a certain amount of gold had been imported into England, and exported again within a given time, and that a large amount of the gold im ported, had not reached the Bank of Eng land, and that therefore, the weekly returns published by that institution, was no guide as the actual monetary condition of the country. And having found a large deficiency in the returns, as compared with the imports, we simply asked what had become of the sum which had not reached the Bank ? By the way of answering our inquiry Mr LANGTON reminds us of the commercial indebted ness of England, as if the commercial debts due by England to other countries, could be or were discharged in any other way except through our banks. As , all merchants use their bankers in the course of their foreign, as well as their domestic trade, all sums leaving the country in the ordinary course of trade, would be traceable either in the increase or decrease in the bullion and other returns of the banks. With regard to money taken away in the pockets of emigrants, _Mr. LANGTON seems to think that it has never formed a portion of the actual circulation of the country, and, therefore, could not have formed a portion of the bullion reserves held by the banks. This is not a " serious mistake" of Mr. LANGTON'S, but.it is a very absurd idea, as any of our bankers can prove. Our correspondent would also lead his readers to infer that when bullion is assigned to merchants, or is brought by private hand to this country, that the consignee or private owner carries it about to dispose df it to persons connected with " the arts and sciences," and that it consequently never reaches the banks, to increase or decrease their stock of bullion. This is really a " serious mis take" of Mr. LANGTON'S, but such mistakes are like all other evils, they " never come alone." And our critic is no less unfortunate in directing our atten tion to the course of exchange, and the recently published returns of our exports and imports. Before we enter at any length on the subject of the course of exchange, we should like to know if Mr. LANGTON has based his calculations on the average market value of gold in any of the large producing countries with which we trade, or whe ther he rules the relative value of money between England and the continent, America, Australia, or India, by the mint price of 3/. 17s. 101 d, the ounce, which is a standard that does not exist ex cept in a certain Act of Parliament. We regret we cannot deal satisfactorily with Mr. LANGTON on this subject as he leaves us in the dark as to the bases from which he draws his notions of the course of exchange. On the next and last heavy consideration touched upon, Mr. LANGTON shall speak for himself :—" I have attempted to estimate the value of our imports as furnished by the Board of Trade, for the last nine months ; the result of my estimate is, that our imports amount to about thirty millions sterling over and above the same for the corresponding period last year. Now our exports of manufactures, as you are aware, are said to have amounted to twelve millions over and above the ex ports of last year, but if our imports are thirty more, it is . quite clear that there is a balance of eighteen millions to be provided for in some way, before the account can be squared. This one great fact will at once explain how it is that the balance of trade should be so much against Eng land, and that the course of exchange should be so adverse." Here Mr. LANGTON appears not to be aware of the fact that the system of hypothesis pur sued by this country, a surplus of 18,000,000/. in our imports over our exports, leaves a large balance of produce still due to the capitalists of England. The amount employed in making advances against produce in our colonies and foreign countries is variously estimated at 30,000,0001. to 50,000,0001. Let Mr. LANGTON add the smallest . of these sums to the total of exports for the present year, and the result will be the balance of trade between England and all the world. Mr. LANGTON'S letter taken in its entirety, is scarcely an average pro duction, considering it comes from one of " The Monetary Circles." THE LATE HEAD CONSTABLE.—The remains of the late Mr. Dowlin will be interred this morning. CABINET COUNCIL.--A Cabinet Council was held yester day, at the Foreign office ; and a Privy Council will be held at Windsor on Friday. ANALYTIC SYSTEM OF WRITING}.—Last evening, a lecture was. delivered at the Charitable Institution, Slater-street, by Mr. Jos :ph Clarke, late of the Norwich grammar-school, on his Analytical System of Writing. EMBEZZLEMENT AT THE RAILWAY STATION.—It is ru moured thde some serious defalcations have been discovered in the goods department of the Louden and North Western Railway here, and that one of the officials has absconded with a large sum of money. A poor rate of ls. 6d. in the pound for the township of Everton, which was obtained on the 14th inst., has been objected to by several of the most influential ratepayers, on the ground that so large a rate is uncalled for to meet the expenditure. PHILHARMONIC HALL.—The Oratorio of Sampson was performed last evening. in this magnificent hall. The principal vocalists were Mdlle. Viardot Garcia, Miss Holt, Mr. Lockey, and Mr. Weiss. The orchestra was full and effective, and the oratorio was admirably rendered. Mdlle. Garcia sang delightfully, and was encored in several of the airs. DINNER TO W. EARLE, ESQ.—A public dinner will be given to W. Earle, Esq., ou Tuesday evening next, at the house of Mr. Craig, in Mulberry-street, to celebrate his re turn to the Town Council for Abercromby Ward. George Maxwell, Esq., will preside, and a numerous and highly respectable company will be present. DEATH FROM A FALL.—On Monday last, Charles Shaw, a sailor on board the steamship "Niagara," which arrived in this port on the previous day, fell from the main-yard, while adjusting some portion of the rigging, by which he received such severe injuries, that he died shortly after being admitted to the Northern Hospital. An inquest was subse quently held upon the body, when, the facts having been proved in evidence, a verdict of " accidental death" was re turned. A NONDESCRIPT IN WANT OF A MATE.—The following odd advertisement appears in a contemporary of yester day :—" A married man, of middle a ge , p ro f ess i ng no par ticular creed, either in politics or in theology, having re cently come to Liverpool from the country to commence busi ness, and having no society,. would be glad to meet with a well-informed party, of similar position and habits, for the sake of society. The advertiser is a middle-class man in point of circumstances, and has received a tolerable educa tion, but has never been accustomed to what is termed good society." EDUCATION AND CRIME IN MANCHESTER.—At the Man chester intermediate sessions, which commenced yesterday, the recorder, in his charge to the grand jury, stated that the commitments during the last 18 days exceeded anything of the kind he had ever known. The total number of per sons charged with felony was 72, and three were charged with misdemeanour. In all there were 77 cases, and out of that number there were only three that had received such an education as they might reasonably suppose would have produced a beneficial effect upon their character and conduct. GAROTTE ROBBERY.—Last night, as a sailor named Wil liam Moxon, who had just returned from a voyage, was passing along Simpson-street, he was surrounded by a num ber of idle characters, and before he could effect an escape, one of them took from his pocket ls. 4d. They evidently expected a much larger booty, as some of the parties knew him, and said, " well, Bill, so you are home." Moxon was quite sober at the time. The police were on the spot im mediately after the robbery., and several para.)s wore ry appre hended ; but the robbe having dexterously exterously effecteu, Moron could not identify any of the offenders. ACCIDENTS.—On Monday a number of men were working on a stage in Mr. Laird's iron shipbuilding yard, when the stage gave way and fell upon two men, named John Red mond and Henry Williams. The former sustained a frac ture of the right leg, a fracture of the left arm, and disloca tion of the ribs of the left side. The latter concussion of the brain. Richard Jones, living in Crumb-street, was kicked by a horse in Mill-street, and sustained a severe con tusion of the side. J ames H y d e , residing in Prince William street, whilst coming home from his work, his foot slipped, and he fell off the parapet producing a sever contusion of the ankle. The above cases were received at the Southern Hos pital. SINGULAR CASE OF CHILD DESERTION.—Last evening, shortly before six o'clock, officer No. 449, found a male child comfortably clothed, and apparently about seven weeks old, on the steps of the house No. 6, Daulby-street, occupied by a gentleman named Melville. Attached to the childs's clothes was a printed declaration purported to have been made before the Lord Mayor of Dublin, by a female named Catherine Sly, stating that the said Catherine Sly, had on the 25th of December last, been seduced in Dublin, by a person named John Melville, who was the father of the child. The police officer conveyed the child to the work house, Brownlow-hill. Mr. Melville resided for some time in Dublin. Two MEN MORTALLY STABBED BY SPANIARDS. Yes terday morning two men named John Sullivan and Thomas Breslam were stabbed near the Deptford Dock yard by Spaniards. The Spaniards were abusing a respectable fe male, when the poor men went to her assistance, on which John Sullivan received a very deep wound on the lower part of the stomach, near the groin, besides other injuries. Thomas Breslam is severely stabbed under the region of the heart, the nature of which precludes the slightest hopes of his recovery. ACCIDENTS. Yesterday, a carpenter, named Daniel M'Laughton, living at No. 9, Great Richmond-street, fell into the. Sandon graving -dock, by which he was so severely injured that he was conveyed to the Northern Hospital, where he at present remains under surgical treatment. Yesterday _evening, a man named James Dargen, being somewhat intoxicated, was knocked down by an omnibus in Bold-street, and had his leg broken. In the afternoon, Robert James, a sailor on board the steamship " City of Manchester," just arrived from Philadelphia, fell from the gaff-topsail, and severely injured himself in various parts of the body. He was conveyed to the Northern Hospital. William Logan, while engaged in his employment on board the steamship " Braziliera," now in the Sandon graving dock, fell to the bottom of the dock, and was much injured by the concussion. PLEASING TESTIMONIAL.—There is at present exhibitingin the window of Mr. Jones, of Castle-street, silversmith, a very handsome and elaborately chased tea and coffee service, which bears the following inscription :—This tea service is presented to Captain R. G. Wilson, of the British ship Philanthropist, by the owners of the American ship Continent, for the gallant and humane conduct manifested by him when falling in with that ship at sea, in a disabled state, on the 2ist of August, 1853." It will be remembered that the Continent had suffered from a severe hurricane, and was in a sinking state; when Captain Wilson fell in with her, and remained by her for some days, eventually taking off all who chose to avail themselves of what then seemed to be the only chance of escape from a watery grave. The Continent, through the skill of her Commander, subsequently reached this port, where she is at present being repaired. This testimonial is a well deserved one, and the feeling which pfompted its presentation is alike creditable to the owners of the Continent, Messrs. W. Tapscott, and Co. DESTRUCTIVE FlRE.—Last night, about eight o'clock, an alarm of fire was given that the St. George's Bazaar, ex tending from Queen's-square to St. John's-lane, was on fire. Immediately after the alarm was given, Mr. Hewett, with an engine belonging to the company, and a section of the fire-brigade, was in attendance, but unfortunately, the owners of the property were too anxious to save their own, and by their anxiety lost all they had, having previously to the arrrival of the fire-brigade, opened each door, which caused a thorough draft, and consequently aided the flames. As soon as the engines were brought into play, the fire was extinguished, thus saving the building, although the entire contents, consisting of some useful and fancy articles, all of a combustible nature, were totally destroyed. Fortunately, by the exertions of the fire-brigade, the building, which is contiguous to most valuable property was, by the timely ex ertions, aided by a plentiful supply of water, saved. After the fire had been extinguished it was a painful sight to wit ness the owners of the property—most of whom had lost all they had to depend upon for subsistence, visiting their stalls. We believe that none of the contents of the building were insured, the stall-keepers being generally too needy to have the means of taking that precaution, therefore the loss will fall upon themselves. No cause for the fire can at present be assigned. Apparently the building was left perfectly safe when locked up, just prior to the alarm of fire being given. The person entrusted with the care of the building states he left all safe, but one of the owners of a stall states that a person threw away a portion of a lighted cigar as he was passing through, a short time before the bazaar was closed. -------- 6.
