SECOND EDITION. Standard Office, Three o'Clock. LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE,—Tuis DAY. Since our report of Tuesday last, the arrivals coastwise and from Ireland furnish a moderate supply of Wheat, a few small parcels of Barley, Malt, and Flour, and a fair quantity of Oats and Oatmeal; with about 2000 quarters of Wheat and 1200 quarters Indian Corn from Europe, and from Ca nada 241 quarters Pease, and 2215 barrels Flour. The duty on Wheat is now raised to 21s. Bd., on Oats to 7s. 9d., on Rye to 14s. per quarter ; on Flour to 13s. 0-id. per barrel ; remaining upon all other foreign, and upon Bri tish colonial produce generally, the same as last week. The weather having continued as favourable as possible for all agricultural pursuits, the attention of our neighbour ing farmers has been exclusively required for securing the potato crop and sowing wheat, in which considerable pro gress has been made during the week, and the deliveries of home-grown produce have been thereby curtailed for the moment: meanwhile the millers and dealers, anticipating better supplies ere long, have remained much on the reserve, and the transactions in consequence, between Tuesday last and to-day, have been generally unimportant. At our market this morning the trade for all descriptions of Wheat was extremely inanimate, at a decline of Id. to 2d. per 701bs. from the current rates of Tuesday ; and had sales been feasible beyond a limited extent, a somewhat greater reduction must have been complied with. Flour was also in very slow request, and duty-paid foreign, as well as Irish, must be noted rather cheaper ; a few small parcels in bond moving off at late prices for export. For English new malting Barley no settled value is yet established, and grinding samples appeared little more than nominal to-day. Malt ruled in the same dull state as last noted. In Beans and Pease no change was apparent. Oats, becoming more plentiful and very unsaleable, were much depressed in value, 3s. being the extreme rate for the best kiln-dried Irish, and inferior kinds offering with little effect at 2s. 9d. to 2s. 10d. per 451bs.—Oatmeal likewise was nearly without inquiry, and ls. per sack cheaper.

PROTEUS THE POLITICIAN. (From Blackwood', Magazine.) Come you, who'd learn the statesman's trade, Andlistin to my tale, sir; I'll show you how a fortune's made, Without the risk of jail, sir; Alike in sunshine and in rain, I'll teach you to make hay, sir, Get on, with neither heart nor brain, And never miss quarter-day, sir. CHORUS. And this is sense, I will maintain — Until I'm on half-pay, sir, I'll wear, whoever gilds, the chain, And never miss quarter-day, sir. When first, a clown, I tried the town, I play'd, of course, the Tory, For Pitt was up, and Fox was down, And England in her glory. I curi'd my locks, I laugh'd at Fox, Swore Grey was but his lees, sir; Cali'd every Whig a fool and prig, And got my bread and cheese, sir. And this is sense, I will maintain, &c. But Death, that strikes the man of might, And leaves the mean behind, sir, Took Pitt, and left, in Bngland's spite, The blind to lead the blind, sir. So, since stocks were up with Fox, (As honest as his sire, sir,) I saw new light, found black was white, And followed him through the mire, sir. And this is sense, I will maintain, &c. Then foggy Grenville, for a week Took up old Charley's dice, sir; I got my livery and my steak, A patriot's honest price, sir. But Perceval took up the box, And threw the lucky Main, sir; I ratted back, found white was black, And Tory turn'd again, sir. And this is sense, I will maintain, &c. To Perceval I stoutly clung Till ended his career, sir, For which old Bellingham was hung— My conscience then grew clear, sir; I play'd court fool for Liverpool, I fetch'd and carried news. sir ; From year to year I bore his sneer, And would have wiped his shoes, sir. And this is sense, I will maintain, &c. Then Canning, pledged the state to save, Came in 'twixt Whig and Tory, Unrivall'd at a pun or stave, Speech, epigram, or story; But just as fit to follow Pitt, As squibs to light the sun, sir, To stick to place is no disgrace, So I kept sticking on, sir. And this is sense, I will maintain, &c. Then out went Canning's sparkling lamp, And Goderich came, the placid; The first the meteor of the swamp, The next a neutral acid. I changed my cloth, and, nothing loth. Fell back upon the Whig, sir. A wise man likes his supper hot, The rest's not worth a fig, sir. And this is sense, I will maintain, &c. Then Lansdowne came, that son of fame, Once puff'd to rival Pitt, sir ; Thus learned pigs wear Judge's wigs, And monkeys show their wit, sir. Thus Brummagem makes London knives, And Liverpool cigars, sir; And every village stroller strives To rank with Drury's stars, sir. And this is sense, I will maintain, &c. Then Wellington, the mighty, reign'd, And I was his recruit, sir ; I felt my conscience unrestrain'd, And kiss'd his Tory boot, sir. The Papist Bill, his sovereign will Commanded to be law, sir; 'Twas all the same, from whom it came, His Highness, or Jack Straw, s ir. And this is sense, I will maintain, &c. But every dog will have his day, The Whigs once more slipt in, sir, High times for granite-visaged Grey, And al/ his kith and kin, sir; My conscience whisper'd—" Cut his Grace, And serve your country still, sir." I kept its counsel and my place, And swallow'd Lord John's pill, sir. And this is sense, I will maintain, &c. Next Melbourne came, the ladies' flame, A man to " courts" well known, sir; The nation's pride, the Church's guide, True pillar of the Throne, sir ; Who guards our isles with smirks and smiles, And laughs at troops and ships, sir, But makes reports on Windsor sports, And chamber women's slips, sir. And this is sense, I will maintain, &c. Then Ch a rtism roar'd from north to south, And Whigs for once, were mute, sir, And Melbourne, unsuspecting youth , Lent Owen, his Court-suit, sir. I ogled then " Mackenzie" Hume, My conscience was new skinn'd, sir ; In Rome we do like those in Ro me And none can live on wind, sir. And this is senss, I will maintain, &c. And now I stand, like Talleyrand, And every quack the drum, sir, Through time and space I'll keep my pla ce , And worship all that come, sir, Peel, Jack the Painter, Wellington, Wat Tyler, or old Grey, sir, My rule--" Take care of Number One, And never miss quarter-day," sir. And this is sense, I will maintain — To gather place and pay, sir, To labour, live, and die for gain, And never miss quarter-day, sir. CONTEMPORARY PRESS. A BUTTON FOR REPEAL. (From Me Examiner.) At a meeting of the Dublin Repeal Association this important document was read : " Ballyknock Cottage, near Tandragree, Sept. 27, 1840. " Count Fane de Salis requests Mr. Ark ins will make him a coat, waistcoat, and trousers, of the grey cloth, and mixed ditto for trousers, recommended by Mr. O'Connell ; coat with velvet collar and repeal buttons. His height is six feet, and very slender." If this will not carry repeal, it is hard to say what will, But what can be the meaning of " repeal but tons ?" Repeal has nothing to do with buttons. But tons belong to union. Repeal disjoins, buttons con join. Repeal is the very antithesis to buttons. Re pealers should abjure buttons, ay, and hooks and eyes too. Why should the right side of the coat be con nected with the left ? why should the coat be united with the breeches ? Why should there be any more united garments than united kingdoms ? Why should the breeches be disgracefully suspended, lake a male factor, by the braces ? Justice to breeches ! Justice to breech k•should be the cry. The dress representa tive-of:1441 principles should be the ancient hien , p h , ••.. \ • ' k - - , Z tif ,` r -( e-f, queen of Ireland, the blanket worn in the manner of a toga, but without the skewer, brooch-fashion, connect ing the two ends in the centre, which smacks too much of an union. After all, repeal does not go half far enough in Ireland—it is but child's play. In due time we shall commence an agitation for repeal in England, restoring things to their happy state in the Heptarchy. We must have restored to independence kingdoms of Kent, Essex, Sussex, Northumberland, Wessex, Mercia, and East Anglia. " Hereditary bondsmen, know you not," &c. &c. THE AGE OF WONDERS. (From the Britannia.) " Can such things be, And overcome us like a summer cloud, Without our special wonder ?"—SHAKSPEARE. We wonder what Prince Albert does with his thirty thousand pounds per 'annum ! The fears of Mr. Hume that so much money would lead him into excesses seem to have been quite groundless. The prince stays at home with exemplary constancy, and presents an example of conjugal affection and fidelity which every young Benedict in the kingdom would do well to imi tate. But what can he do with his money ? He has no opportunities of spending it at home, for there everything is provided for him ; he has no opportuni ties of spending it abroad, for he rarely leaves the pa lace except to drive round the Park in the Queen's phaeton. He is an amateur musician, yet we do not hear that he does anything for its professors. He is fond of painting, yet who can name what pictures he has ever purchased ? He is attached to literature, yet the extent of his patronage seems to be utterly un known. Does he intend to imitate the example of his uncle, of Belgium, and accumulate stock in every state of the world, that he may be prepared for all mis chances ? Such a course might be prudent, but it cer tainly would not be popular. But if our wonder is great to know what he can do with his income at pre sent, how much will that income be increased when he receives the additional £20,000 promised him by Sir Robert Peel in the event of an heir to the throne being born ? We admire the prince's domestic virtues, and the readiness with which he has dropped into the cha racter of a good husband ; but we think his happiness would have been equally consulted had he not been burdened with an income for which, it is manifest, he can find no means of disposal, at least in this country. We wonder what Lord Minto could have been think ing of when he exposed one of our greatest national dockyards and the ships it contained, to the risk of total destruction, for the sake of saving a few shillings a night to reward watchmen for guarding it ! Fortu nately the conflagration at Devonport has only de stroyed two ships and damaged a few others, but it was by a mere chance that mischief was not done, which it would have cost years of time and millions of money to have repaired. Again has the " luck" of the ministers partly compensated for their want of pru dence. We wonder that Lord Ebrington should have had the unblushing effrontery to declare he would withhold all government patronage from the repealers, when he knows the head of the repealers to be at the head of the ministry, and to dispose as he pleases of all the patronage at its command connected with Ireland! Are we to suppose that his lordship was really sincere, and that he was labouring under some mental hallucination, which induced him to believe that he was something more than a puppet; or are we to imagine that his lordship was but fulfilling the stipulations of some se cret Dublin Castle treaty to talk one way and act ano ther? In one case we must suppose his lordship des titute of common sense ; and, in the other, of common honesty. To suppose that Lord Ebrington, if he be in a state of sanity, can imagine he may act in oppo sition to the will of Daniel O'Connell, is too absurd to impose upon any one beyond the precincts of Bedlam or St. Luke's. _ _ We wonder where Lord Palmerston finds the wealth to support his splendid establishment ! His lordship, independent of the emoluments of office, is notori ously poor; nor has he been materially enriched by his marriage with Lady Cowper ; yet there are few persons who live in better style than his lordship ; and he is said, besides, to devote large sums annually to the improvement and augmentation of his Irish estate. Has he found Aladdin's lamp, or discovered the philo pher's stone ? No ; but he is our Foreign Secretary. We wonder to how many persons, and on how many different occasions, Lord Melbourne has written this note : " I have the honour to acknowledge the receipt of your communication of such a date, and I have the honour to re main, &c. &c. &c., your obedient servant, " MELBOURNE." It was his answer to the Marchioness of Hastings, when she appealed to him to proclaim the innocence of her injured and dying daughter, Lady Flora. It was his answer to Captain Drew, when he implored his lordship that he might not be disgraced for performing one of the most gallant achievements of modern times —the burning of the piratical American steam-boat, the Caroline. It was his answer to the owners of the Vixen, when they besought him to ask redress from the Russian government for having unlawfully seized an English merchant vessel, and disgraced the British flag. Still more recently, it was his answer to an ap plication from Captain Reynolds for an inquiry into circumstances which, if suffered to pass by unnoticed, were likely to materially impair the discipline and effi ciency of the army. In short, it has been his answer to every communication upon every subject, no matter how vital its importance, or how pressing its urgency; and it would be his answer to-morrow, if informed that a French army had landed at Dover. Yet what right has the public to complain ? If they will keep a prime minister to perform the part of a poodle dog, to dangle after the petticoats of ladies, and amuse them by its tricks and nonsense, they must he prepared to submit to the natural consequences—neglect of all public business, and stereotyped answers to all appli cations. We wonder at the mysterious silence preserved on a subject concerning which the government journals a few months since were so loquacious—the " delicate situation" of her Majesty ! How comes it that, as the time draws on, when we might reasonably hope the wishes of the nation would be gratified, we are not sur feited with descriptions of cradles and caudles, baby linen, and pap-boats ! The royal accoucheurs were gazetted, we presume, at the suggestion of Sir James Clarke, some months since ; and the total absence of any allusion to the health of her Majesty is, at least, remarkable. Can it be that Sir James has been again mistaken ? IRISH PATRIOTS. (From the Spectator.) " [lore's lime in this sack too! There is nothing but roguery to be found in villanous man."—Falstaf At the inauguration of the civic officers'of Dublin, 04) the 30th of September, Lord Ehrington took occasion to make a strong declaration against repeal and repealers. Among other things, he said—" I shall withhold all the government favour and patronage, which administrations are considered entitled to confer on their supporters, from those who take part in this agitation."' By a curious coincidence, Mr. O'Connell, on the same 30th of September, addressed a let ter from Darrynane Abbey, to the electors of Kilkenny, in which he revives a charge he brought some time ago against Colonel Butler, of having absented himself from the vote which drove ministers to resign in the month of April last year ; and of having written letters " in which he entered into a regular stipulation that he would vote with the go vernment, provided that certain situations or promotions were bestowed upon two persons whom he named." Mr. O'Connell, "through motives of delicacy," declines naming these persons ; but Colonel Butler is troubled by no such compunctious visitings ; for in his counter address to the electors he says— " I have not the least hesitation in ad mitting, that after having for two or three years given sup port to the present administration, I made an application for professional promotion for two of my sons, where such could not be obtained by purchase—namely, in the church and the navy ; and I certainly considered that I was justi fied in so doing, inasmuch as if they went out of office, I I could not expect that their opponents would attend to any application on my part." To this partial admission the Colonel coolly adds :—" As Mr. O'Connell has repeatedly expressed a wish that I should enter fully into an explana tion of circumstances that occurred on my refusing to vote upon one occasion, I have come to the determination not on any account to do so, as I cannot place any faith in the purity of his motive." This is excellent. No more needs be said about Colonel Butler ; he stands confessed. But why does Mr. O'Connell's indignation at Lord Ebrington's hint about " the favour and patronage which administrations are entitled to confer on their supporters," hang fire P His small taunt at the Saint Patrick's Orphan Charity dinner in Cork, "that the Lord Lieutenant had exhibited great im patience to let out his opinions, when he availed himself of the opportunity of doing so afforded by the appearance of the rotten corporation of Dublin before him," is merely the suppressed whine of O'Connell mnzzled. Mr. Sharman Crawford's Ulster Reform Association had an " aggregate meeting" on the Ist of October, but even Sharman was neu tralised. The burden of the speeches delivered by the other orators was "No Repeal," and "Support Ministers." He did not join in the latter cry, but he wisely said nothing about it. So it wonld appear that the O'Connellites of the south and the Crawfordites of the north are merely getting up a sham fight about repeal ; the former not pressing the question in earnest, and the latter not being afraid that they intend to do so. All that is meant is to prevent the people of Ireland from inquiring what ministers are doing, and to get them to vote for them as formerly. * His Excellency understands what stuff the repealers are made of. Since this allusion to " government favour and patronage" was made, the following announcement has appeared in the Limerick Chronicle: —" Seneral of the committee of the St. Patrick's Orphan Charity Dinner in Cork have had their names erased from the list, on learning that Mr. O'Connell intends to propose Repeal of the Union amongst the toasts, on Monday night." EAST INDIA TlLAD E. — Mr.Stikeman, the secretary of the East India and China Association, compara tive statement of the numb er of prepared a l . wards from and to British ships, with their ia Company's char tonnage, entered into and cleared o places within the limits of the East In ter, from the Ist of January to the p 3 p o e t a h rs of September, 1839 that the tonnage preserite e a s r h is 185,594, and 1840. By this statement it a inwar4 for the first three-quarters of last while th at for the same period in the yea r was 182,582, during 348 ; thisenteringe giving an increase of 3,012 tons, and that Ji similar periods are 474 for last year, and 467 for thirpresent, giving a decrease of seven ships. In 1839 the shi p s period were the London port during this Liar they are only 324, which is a decrease of 24, while in they have increased from 95 to 107, and in other ports the r e has also been an increase. The tonnage outwards for t he ee same periods is 215,809 for 1839, and 273,853 for 1840 ; an d the number of ships is 542 for the former and 702 for the latter, giving an increase of 58,044 tons and 160 ships. How ever, with respect to the number of tons cleared for China andthe Cape of Good Hope, it has decreased -5020 for the former, and 1870 for the latter. The increase is attributed the sending troops to India and emigrants to Australia. ATTACK UPON THREE ENGLISHMEN BY ITALIAN BRIGANDS, NEAR ROVIGO. The following is an extract of a letter just received from Florence, written to a friend by Albert Smith, Esq., lec turer on chemistry, &c. residing at Chertsey : " In consequence of there being no vacant place in the diligonce, we left Venice at two o'clock on Saturday, Aug. 29th, and on landing from our gondola, at Fusina, imme diately hired a carriage and horses for the next stage, the party consisting of Mr. Decastro, Mr. Hallett, and myself About seven, a violent thunder storm on, which lasted the way from Padua to Mont Celice, but on arriving at the lat ter place it cleared up, and a brilliant moonlight succeeded. The clock struck ten as we left Mont Celice, and my compa nions composed themselves to sleep in the corner of the car riage, leaving me awake. We had gone on for about half an hour, when I felt the horses stop suddenly, so as to throw me forward with the check, and the next instant I saw, through the front glasses, six or seven figures ranged across the road in a semi -circle, pointing their guns at the postilion, and closing round the carriage. " I awoke my companions directly, and then recollecting I had eight sovereigns loose money in my waistcoat pocket, I contrived to put seven into my mouth, between my cheeks and teeth, and to slip the other into my shoe. I had barely finished this operation, when we had the muzzles of half a dozen guns thrust into the carriage at once, against our heads, breasts, &c. accompanied by the most horrid oaths, and orders to descend. My friends immediately got down on the near side of the voiture, but I was less fortunate ; for the Italian carriages are not very well appointed, and the door on my side was nailed up altogether, having been formerly broken. In consequence of this, I could not get out when commanded ; but that appeared of little moment, as the chief of the party, a six-foot ruffian, seized me by the collar, and dragging me over the door, threw me down violently upon the ground, as if 'I had been a doll, not without some trifling pain to myself. A general pillage now began. Our knapsacks and their contents, together with all our German friend's trunks and portmanteaus, were soon pulled out of the carriage, and then they commenced rifling our persons. I had the side pocket of my blouse filled with zwanzigers (Austrian coins worth about Bd.) to pay the posts, which was directly emptied. Hallett's gold watch and ap pendages followed ; then our knives, pencil-cases—in fact, everything down to our braces, with which they appeared highly delighted. They tore our trowsers in all directions to make sure no money was concealed in them ; and finally discovered the leathern belt which I always wore, and in which I had placed the circular notes we had obtained from Henries. To show their rapacity, I may here mention that I had a couple of pins and a gold chain in my scarf, which was tied in a sailor's knot, and these I had secured with some thread to prevent their working out in travelling. The brigand who was rifling me, finding he could not remove the pins, very deliberately took his knife and cut the scarf from my neck, taking it away altogether. " I was extremely anxious respecting a small gold ring I had on my finger, since it could not be removed, and I knew it was their common practice to hack off finger and all when this was the case. By good luck they never perceived it, as I contrived to turn the clasped hands, which formed the sig net, towards the inside of my palm. "When they had finished they made us re-enter our car riage, still keeping their guns pointed to our heads ; and the postilion who had descended, resuming his seat, we pro ceeded on our route, heartily glad to escape with our lives, which for the last ten minutes had been worth but little. Our first care, on arriving at Rovigoovas to call out the gendarmerie, and some ten or twelve carbineers departed in search of the robbers, but with little success, as we stfbse quently- found. " We passed a wretched night, as you may conceive, our bed-room being filled with the officers of police, newspaper reporters, &c., until morning, taking down all sorts of de positions, and asking innumerable questions. The next morning, on the arrival of the diligence, a young Prussian nobleman, Baron de Hartmann (whom we had met in our hotel at Venice, and who had followea us on our route), en tered our room, where we were actually lying in bed for the want of clothes to get up in, and insisting on our sharing with him a rouleau of Napoleons, which he threw on the bed, pressing us to take as many as our present wants re quired. To this generous and uncalled-for liberality on the part of a foreigner, and to us almost a perfect stranger, we were indebted for the means of arriving at Florence, where we again met him, and repaid our debt, having, with our passports, fortunately preserved our letter of credit. " The only things that we saved were, a pocket telescope, some small silver gondolas, for brooches, purchased at Ve nice ; and my straw boating hat, which I still hope to see again on the Abbey river. Now it is all over, the affair does to talk and laugh about as ' an adventure ;' but I can assure you at the time it was anything but pleasant. • Believe me, yours, &c., "ALBERT SMITH." INFLUENCE OF THE MOTHER'S IMAGINATION ON THE FETUS IN UTERO. [We are induced to copy this interesting case, and give it publicity, because of its intrinsic interest to the medical pro fession and the public.] To the Editors of the Medical Press. Liverpool, September 23,1840. GENTLEMEN Samuel Cooper, speaking of Ncevi Materni of different kinds, says, " All have been supposed to arise from some impression made on the mind of the mother dur ing pregnancy, or at the time of conception." The settle ment of this disputed point he leaves to speculative writers. May I solicit a corner in your Press to tell my story on the subject.—l am, gentlemen, most respectfully yours, HUGH NEILL, Surgeon to the Ophthalmic Infirmary An infant of six months old., the child of William H was brought to me at the Ophthalmic Infirmary, about twelve months ago, having congenital cataract, with malformation of both eyes, whose development was little more than half the usual size : the pupils were obliterated by the opaque lenses being in contact with the iris, to which they were adherent. As the child could distinguish the light, and followed with its eyes a lighted candle, I determined to operate. Upon making inquiry whether any of the relatives were similarly affected, I was told that that the child's father had eyes of the same sort. One of his eyes had been operated on in early life; but the operation was scarcely successful, as his sight barely enabled him to guide himself about. He was a pupil in the Blind Asylum in this town for a period of nineteen years. He has been married for some time—is now forty years of age, and has only this one child. I operated upon both eves of the infant, and upon his own (the one which had not previously been meddled with), and the operations both upon the inf a nt an d hi mse lf h ave been quite successful ; both have got sight—but this is only a passing remark. Gratitude for such a blessing as sight urged the man to tell me the following story, and I repeat it to you in the first person, as he told it:— " My mother was, some fifty years ago, a servant in the country ; in the farmer's family was also another female ser vant with some pretensions to beauty. Among the many men servants about the farm was a half-witted lad who laboured under some infirmity of vision, (perhaps, partial congenital cataract!) for he could see, although not well ; and, with some twisting motion of his head and eyes, ges tures ludicrous to those witnessing the manoeuvres. " This Cupid became enamoured most deeply with my mother's pretty fellow-servant. His love was the cause of much merriment to these girls ; and, when his proposal came in due time, their open laughter could no longer be restrained, and he forthwith became the butt for all their jests and fun. " His love soon was turned to bate, and with the bitterest imprecations on the heads of both, and prophesying that, should my mother ever have any children, their eyes should resemble his own, he went away and hung himself. " Several years passed by and the matter was forgotten, until my mother was married ; and in the first pregnancy, the idiot's curses were recalled to her memory, and, as her "time of trouble" approached, the dreadful thought that her child should be born blind haunted her night and day. I was born, and both eyes resembled the idiot's. She had only one other child, a daughter, who was born with similar mal formation. I have only one child—its eyes were similar to my own." __ Query.—Will the sceptics say that these were not the ef fects of powerful mental sympathetic influence between the parent and foetus ?—H. N. THE HEALTH OF LARGE TOWNS. (From the Provincial Medical and Surgical Journal) Among the proceedings of the last session of the legisla ture, relating to medical questions, is the investigation which was entered into respecting the health of towns. A commit tee was appointed on the 12th of March last, to inquire into the circumstances affecting the health of the inhabitants of large towns and populous districts, with a view to improved sa natory regulations for their benefit. The report which they have drawn up is collected from the evidence of several wit nesses from different parts of the kingdom, and points out the evils resulting from various causes connected with a crowding together of the population, at the same time that it suggests some remedial measures for the consideration of the house. To these proposed measures we shall, on some future oc casion, direct the attention of onr readers ; at present we are desirous of making them acquainted with the mass of evil and mischief, physical and moral, which has resulted from the want of some efficient system of medical police. The excel lent letter of Mr. Farr, published in the Registrar-General's first annual report, has made known the fatal influence exer cised upon the duration of life by the crowding together of large bodies of people within a confined state. He remarks, that the fatality of every class of diseases, and almost of every disease, is augmented in the concentrated city popula tion of this country. This observation is proved by a table, which exhibits the deaths from certain classes of fatal disease in city and county districts, and affords so decided an illus tration in aid of the evidence contained in the parliamentary report, that we insert it here. Cities. Counties. Population Epidemic, Endemic, and Contagious } 12,766 6,045 Diseases Sporadic Diseases— Of the Nervou s s y s te m ' „ Respiratory organs 12,619 7,847 „ Organs of c i rcu l a ti on „ Digestive o rgans 3,476 1,832 „ Urinary organs „ Organs of generation „ Organs of locomotion „ Integumentary system 62 55 Of uncertain seat Age 2,924 3,102 Violent deaths 1,370 929 Not specified Total death 5.......... 47,953 29,693 It hence appears that not only i s the excess of the morta lity of the city population very great in diseases classed as epidemic, contagious, or endemic,.. but a l so i n t h ose usua ll y considered as of sporadic for instance, di seases o f th e nervous, respiratory, and digestive systems. Mr. Farr sub sequently points out the difference in three special causes of mortality, of vast importance as respects the co n diti on o f the labouring poor, from their chiefly affecting adults, often the heads of families, and consequently exercising a very serious effect upon the prosperity of the class. These are consumption, child-birth, and typhus fever. The deaths, by consumption, among the county population, amount to 5857; in the towns to 8125, giving an increase of 39 per cent. Th e deaths in child-birth are in the counties 217; in the towns 372, showing an increase of 71 per cent. The deaths fro m fever (typhus) are 1564 in the country districts ; in the town districts 3456, affording an increase of the mortality in the towns from this cause of 221 per cent. The evidence brought before the committee of the House of Commons does not embrace the consideration of the pre valence of consumption, or of deaths from child-birth, in large towns ; but the general fact of the extent a nd f at ality of disease, especially of such forms as belong to t he e p idem ic and contagious class, is unhappily but too well borne out. In some of the densely-peopled and neglected districts of London, not only are the houses relet, but even the rooms, so that often more than one family inhabit the same room. Mr. Mozeley's evidence prbves the prevalence, to a great extent, of disease, and especially of fevers, in certain of these districts ; and shows that, independently of the occur rence of fever, the inmates of those abodes are ever enfee- bled, mentally and bodily, from the polluted atmosphere which they respire. Dr. W. H. Duncan, of Liverpool, says, in reference to this subject, "-I have compared the healthiness of one or two streets, densely populated, which are notoriously un healthy, with that of others less densely populated, the in habitants of which are also of the working classes ; I have mentioned Oriel-street, in which one-fifth of the whole number of inhabitants were affected with fever in the year. In Lace-street, another street 160 yards long, containing 1285 inhabitants, giving an average of more than 11 in each house, there were 200 cases of fever in the year ; that is, nearly one in six of the inhabitants. I would compare this street with another, also entirely inhabited by the working classes, but not so densely populated, Addison-street, which is 220 yards long, containing 1190 inhabitants ; in that street only 89 cases of fever occurred in the year, being less than lin 13. In Primrose-hill to Cow-lane, 165 yards long, con taining 304 inhabitants, there were only eleven cases of fever in the year, or 1 in 28." It may be taken as an established fact, that fever, small pox, measles, scarlatina, cholera, diarrhoea, with the at tendant train of poverty, recklessness, immorality, and the thousand ills that flesh is heir to, are rarely, if ever, absent from the more populous districts of the metropolis and other large towns. Much of this mischief would seem to arise from want of ventilation and cleanliness. In popu lous neighbourhoods the tenements are crowded together either in narrow streets or alleys, or in confined courts with only one outlet. No sufficient purification of the atmo sphere can take place in such i localities. They are, con sequently, damp, and the air s contaminated with the exhalations arising from the dirt and filth which are ge nerally accumulated in some part of the court or street. The light, also, is partially excluded from these abodes of poverty and wretchedness, a circumstance to which, as ma terially tending to aggravate the evil, sufficient attention has not hitherto been paid. Crowding of the population, im perfect ventilation, want of efficient drainage, and the con sequent accumulation of dirt and filth, and we are con strained to add, too often also the impoverished state and im moral habits of the inhabitants, would seem to be the chief causes of the sickness and mortality of populous neighbour hoods. The crowding of the populace within a confined space, must necessarily tend to contaminate the purity of the atmosphere, not only, as stated in the report by the deteri oriation which the air undergoes in the respiration of s o many human beings, but also by its becoming charged with numerous exhalations necessarily connected with the process of animal and social life. The use of fuel, the decay of animal and vegetable matters, the accumulation of dirt in the houses, all tend to charge the atmosphere with various im purities, for which in confined situations there are no coun teracting forces in operation, no renewal of the atmosphere by the fresh and invigorating breezes of the open country, no purifying action of vegetation in the full light of the solar rays. On the contrary, the contaminated air hovers over the spot, pressing like an incubus throughout the damp and darkness of the houses below, and exerts its depressing ef fects and throws its gloom alike on the physical and moral system of the inhabitants. In many of our large towns it would seem that a considerable portion of the inhabitants undergo a kind of living sepulture. They inhabit under ground cellars, carrying on their occupations in these damp and dismal abodes, shut out from the light of heaven, and breathing an atmosphere little superior to that of the Grotto del Cane. From Dr. Duncan's evidence it appears that in Liverpool there are at this time no less than 38,000 inhabitants of this class. These cellars are stated to be dark, damp, confined, ill-ventilated, and dirty. The working population of Liver pool is estimated at 175,000 individuals, of which number it is calculated, upon statistical data, that no less than 38,000, or between one-fourth and one-fifth of the whole number, live in cellars. Frequently two, three, or more families in habit the same cellar, and in the worst district of the town, Dr. Duncan states it as his opinion, that on an average there is nearly one family and a half to each cellar. There is no ventilation in the cellars, and very frequently, no window. The top of the door, in many instances, is not above the level of the street, and the descent is by very narrow steps, only so wide as to admit one person ; so that there is neither light nor air, and in general there is no floor. In some instances, the cellar is divided into two, that is, there is a back room, perfectly dark, in which the family sleep. In addition to this, it is estimated that there are 2400 close courts in the same town, few of which have more than one outlet, and the majo rity communicate with the street, through a narrow archway of three feet wide, the upper part of which is generally built up. The width of the courts usually varies from nine to fif teen feet ; many are only six feet wide. At the end of the court there are usually one or two privies, with an open ash pit, which are kept in a very disgusting state. It is com puted that 86,400 of the inhabitants of Liverpool reside in these courts, in addition to the 38,000 which live in under ground cellars. Dr. Duncan does not know of any court in Liverpool in which there is a sewer or an underground drain. "Is there any communication by drains to the com mon sewer ? "—None •, I do not know of any court in which there is an underground drain ; I frequently made the inquiry from having been led to notice the state of filth in which most of the courts were ; in fact, in the main streets, in the greater number of those inhabited by the working classes, there are no sewers." From the evidence of Mr. Cobden, it appears that the same practice of crowding the inhabitants into cellars prevails in Manchester, though not to the same extent as in Liverpool. In the report of the Manchester Statistical Society, it is stated, that there are 14,960 occupants of cellars in Manchester, and 3335 in Salford. Similar abuses, though possibly in a minor degree, are found to exist in many other towns. The state of Glasgow would seem, however, to surpass in wretchedness even that of many parts of London, Liverpool, and Man chester. A highly intelligent gentleman, Mr. J. C. Symons, author of a work called " Arts and Artizans at Home and Abroad," and who has had ample means of forming an opinion, states it as his conviction, that " penury, dirt, misery, drunkenness, disease; and crime, culminate in Glasgow to a pitch unparalleled in Great Britain ;" and again, " I have seen human degradation in some of its worst pliases, both in England and abroad, but I can advisedly say, that I did not believe, until I visited the wynds of Glasgow. that so large an amount of filth, crime, misery, and disease, existed in one spot in any civilized country." It is in evi dence from the same witness, that in the lower lodging houses in these miserable and confined situations—places, as regards dirt, damp, and decay, such as no person of com mon humanity would stable his horse in—ten, twelve, and sometimes twenty persons, of both sexes, and of all ages, sleep promiscuously on the floor in different degrees of naked ness. We have reason to know, from other sources of information, that this statement is not overcharged ; that, in fact, such is the crowded and destitute state of the popu lation, that many families —men, women, and children — inhabit the same room, sleep in the same bed ; the occupants during the night giving place to the no less wretched occupants during the day. Can it then be a matter of surprise, that fever, cholera, and dysentery, with scrofula in all its forms, swell up the amount of human misery in such dens as these ; that to wretchedness and destitution is added every species of vice and moral degradation of which human beings are capable ? The population of Glasgow amounts to about 250,000 ; the number that died last year (1839) was 10,270. or one in 24.63 of the whole population ; 2180 of the deaths were from typhus fever ; whereas, according to Mr. Farr's tables, the mean annual mortality of the same number of individuals through out England and Wales is 5062, and from typhus fever 323. The mortality of Liverpool. though very high. according to the evidence of Dr. Duncan, does not come near that of Glasgow. The deaths in Liverpool were in 1838, lin37 ; in 1839, lin 33k. But the sickening detail of reckless and fear,. ful neglect does not stop short here. To a greater or less extent it prevails in every town in the kingdom. Edinburgh and Dublin, no less than London and Glasgow ; Bristol, Birmingham, and Leeds, no less than Liverpool and Man chester, are subject to the same evils. It may be fearlessly asserted, that not even small-pox, before its horrors were mitigated by the discovery of vaccination, swept away more victims than now fall a sacrifice to the neglect of the simplest and most practicable rules of medical police. An efficient sys tem of medical police would do much to lessen these evils, and more in preventing their occurrence in future. But if such a system is to be efficient, it must be devised, regulated, and, in part at least, carried into effect by those who are compe tent to the task ; by ,those who are practically acquainted with the sources of the evils ; by those who know the methods to be followed in their removal. In short, such a system must be presided over not by poor law commissioners and boards of guardians, but by intelligent and experienced medi cal practitioners, whose attention has been devoted to the subject, and who shall receive such a compensation as shall enable them to devote the requisite time to the carrying out the important objects which may be entrusted to them. What these are we shall have to point out on some future occasion, when we come to consider the remedies indicated in the re port. INEFFICIENCY OF THE PUBLIC SERV ICE .—A few days since there were only 57 privates and ma r i nes , e ff ec ti v e men, at this port. Nearly all the pieces of ordnance at the port. and garrison of Southampton have been long dismounted, and a short time since when the fears of a chartist insurrection induced an examination of our defences, it was found that there were no gun carriages on which to mount the guns. Is not the servant who leaves the street door unfastened that a robber may enter as guilty as the robber ? And is not the ministry who leaves the country defenceless as guilty as the traitors who introduce an enemy ? — Hampshire Advertiser. CONFLICT BETWEEN A STEAM ENGINE AND A DONKEY ! —On Monday last, an unfortunate donkey, heeding not the notice to trespassers, had strayed on to the railway, near to Hob Moor, at the time of the approach of a t ra i n ; t h e en gineer of which, perceiving his critical position, gave him ample notice of their approach by the shrill whistle ; but Neddy, being inclined to set at defiance his approaching foe, maintained his position until the engine neared him, when he turned round, and fired a volley with his heels at his iron hearted antagonist, in doing which he was slain on the spot, the wheels running over his hind quarters.—Yorkshireman. HAMMERSLEY'S BANK.—We understand that the affairs of Hammersley's bank will be so far wound up by Christmas as to allow a divide b rid of 10s. in the pcund, which will be fol lowed by a second and ultimate dividend of ss. more, making together 15s. in the pound. It is understood that the expe dition with which .the suit at present pending in Chancery, in relation to the affairs of the bank, will be brought, will be unexampled in the history of Chancery proceedings. The moment the necessity of filing a bill was found unavoidable, the vice-chancellor came to town expressly to put matters in such a train that no time should be lost, and the affairs of the banking-house are already before the master. The cre ditors of the estate amount to nearly 12,000, and the stop page of the bank has been severely felt by many of the west.. end tradesmen, of whom a large portion of that number con sists.—Globe. SUIT IN CHANCERY.—We are informed that a bill of dis covery has been filed in the High Court of Chancery, against the Rev. Thomas Sherbourne, a Roman Catholic clergyman, of the Willows, Kirkham, ex-vicar-general of the Lancashire District. Also against the Right Rev. Dr. Briggs, the Ro man Catholic Bishop of Yorkshire. Also against the Very Rev. Richard Thompson, of Weld Bank, Chorley, vicar general of Lancashire. Also against the Rev. Dr. Youens, senior priest of Copperas-hill chapel, Liverpool. Also against Mr. James Teebay, land agent, Ingl, Preston. Our readers will perhaps remember that a few weeks ago there appeared a paragraph, copied from the Lancaster Guardian, stating that the Rev. Thomas Sherbourne, confessor to the late Mr. Heatley, of Brindle Lodge, had fallen heir to that gentleman's large fortune, and that the said confessor was his sole executor and residuary legatee. It also intimated, that it was the intention of the heiress-at-law to contest the validity of their uncle's will. We are further informed, that similar bills to the one mentioned above are in preparation against other reverend gentlemen ; and that most of the secular priests in Lancashire, among whom is Dr. Lingard, will receive subpoenas for the trial, which is to be brought on at the next spring assizes for the county of Lancaster. The sensation which this will has occasioned in Lancashire and the neighbouring counties, where all the parties are well known, is very great, and the trial is looked forward to with the utmost anxiety. TUE LATE D UEL. — Should an indictment be preferred at the next sessions of the Central Criminal Court, and a true bill be found, the case, as f ar as t h e E ar l of Cardigan is con cerned, will, on the parties being called on to plead, be :e -moved by writ of certiorari to what is called the court of the Lord High Steward, who will summon a jury of pee rs, it is in dividuals. At not consisting of mo re t h an twen ty-three At present, we believe, there is no peer holding the office of Lord High Steward ; but it is expected her Majesty will ap point one. No case ha s occurred o f a pe er being charged with felony since that of Earl Ferrars, in the . year 1760, eighty years since.

The imports of Grain since Tuesday last have been very moderate, in some degree owing to the contrary winds ; and the weather having continued very favourable for the completion of the northern harvest, and throughout Scotland and Irelard, (the result of which we hope soon to be correctly informed,) we have experienced a languid demand for Wheat and Flour at a further decline of 3d to 6d per 701bs on the former, and 6d to 9d per barrel on the latter. Although we have a very small stock of Oats and Oatmeal, new or old, the prices thereof have declined a little, and we note very little alteration in other articles during the past week. The duty on Wheat from foreign ports has been further increased since Friday last to 205 8d per quarter, and on Flour to 12s 5d per barrel, and will probably continue to be virtually prohibitory for some time to come ; notwithstanding which, sales of both articles having been pressing on our markets rather unaccountably, and the market in Mark-lane, has likewise been depressed. The duty is also increased Is 5d per quarter on Oats and Rye; on other kinds of Grain from foreign ports there is no alteration. The duty is increased on Wheat from British Colonies to 5s per quarter, anti on Flour from thence to 3s per barrel. There is but very little Flour in bond, which sells slowly at 27s to 28s per barrel for im mediate export. At this day's market we have had a very small attendance, and sales only to a very moderate extent of Wheat and Flour at fully the decline above-mentioned, and of all other articles at a small depression.

LIVERPOOL PROVISION MARKET, OCT. 15 We apprehend the tightness in the money market has had its effect upon the nerves of Butter holders, for there has evidently appeared a greater disposition to realize during the last few days. Indeed, we think prices may be fairly quoted at as per cent lower. Pickled -Sutter is at 93s to 945, and nothing doing. The provision market is just in the most anomalous state, for in the teeth cf warlike accounts, the prices of Beef and Pork, (the former par ticularly) have so rapidly a downward tendency that " Sauve qui peut" appears to be the motto of the trade. We, however, incline to the opinion that Pork will rally a little ; but for Beef it is quite time for it to abandon its extravagant position. LIVERPOOL WOOL MARKET, OCT. 13. The third series of Colonial Wool sales have just terminated in London ; the quantity sold was 10,445 bags, and prices have ad vanced fully Id per lb on the August sales. The sale closed at fi •m prices. Owing to the buyers being in London during the last fortnight, business here has been quiet, but prices are fully sup. ported, and Scotch Wools have advanced 6d per stone. BRISTOL SUGAR MARKET, OCTOBER. 13. A fair amount of business has been done in our Sugar Market since our last, and the prices realized are in favour of the seller, as compared with last weeks rates. DUBLIN CORN-EXCHANGE, OCTOBER 13. There was a good supply of grain at this day's market.
