They continue to fill up the cavities of De cayed Teeth with their Mineral Marmoratum, without the least pain, heat, or pressure ; it is placed into the cavity in an almost liquid state, and in a few seconds gets hard, pre venting and curing the Tooth-ache, arresting all farther pro gress of decay, and rendering the operation of extraction unnecessary. The Mineral not only converts a mere shell into a sound and useful tooth, but, by completely stopping up the cavity, prevents effectually that unpleasant taint of he breath which invariably accompanies a decayed tooth. Among the various disorders of the Teeth and Gums. there are none more destructive in their effects, or more generally prevalent, than Scurvy ; and it is well known that the loss of Teeth arises more from this cause than any other. It affects individuals of all ages and of all constitutions, and is the primary cause of Tooth-ache and decay. To those so affected, Mons.

There is nothing more remarkable in the social habits of the present day, and more particularly in those of the past century, than a general disregard to the maxims of prudence in regard to health and enjoyment. Hence the vast multi tudes who, having acquired the portion of an enfeebled con stitution, are doomed to the class of habitual invalids. Their minds anxious, unsteady, or sluggish, and their bodies weak, the natural functions of lite are discharged laboriously, with pain and difficulty. For this state of nervous derange ment, the celebrated - CORDIAL BALM OF SYRIACUM will he found to have peculiar efficacy, strengthening the lan guid system and shedding new hope on the mind. A perse verance in its use has been the happy means of relieving many thousands, and of restoring a great number to the per manent enjoyment of life. It is remarkable for its efficacy in all disorders of the digestive organs, and is especially recom mended to those who, from the irregularities of youthful age, habits of studious application, or a life of pleasure, have fallen into a despondent state of mind, and that distressing train of symptoms commonly denominated the NERVOUS. In such persons the mental are not less enfeebled than the corporeal, and to them a remedy that acts with efficacy, with out interfering with domestic habits, is peculiarly desirable. Its primary object is to relieve those persons who, by an immoderate indulgence in their passions, have ruined their affected etdo withth e a c l o s I f i T h n o l e t i o p n re N o . the a r constitutionsttlei and brought on a perfect tabis Arsons; or, in s that betray its approach, as r ° obstin the various affections of the nervous system, i f ea t a ha s t ym de p p te lo m rable malady, ate gleets, involunta • • ry emissions, ex cesses, irregu larity, wea k ness, total the relief the- impotency.COßD.lA barrenness. &c. But L BALM OF SYRIACUM ge nerally administers is no t who has to the s e alone : the latitudinarian by birth, w received fro m his parents the inheritance of a diseased andha unprolific frame--the deli cate female, whom an immured and inactive lif e , together with an immoderate u se o f tea a aliments, has, without any f au l t of h other weak an d wateryrs brought on all the calamitous symptoms of a consumptive habit, shit, and are, with out timely assistance, sinking into ap as these, under Divine Influence, the e enture grave! Such Sy riacum will restore to the enjoyment Cordial Balm of of all the comforts of life. It is universally admired, bein g pleasant to the taste and smell, gently astringes the fibres ofthet stomach, and gives that proper tensity which a good digestion requires.t To the young it will afford lasting healthspirits, in place of lassitude and debility, an d tos the age and infirm it will assuredly furnish great reli e f and eel fed and gently and safely invigorating the system. I t will u not r g t '• by g immortality, but if it be in the power of medi c i ne to gild d y i e e autumn of declining years, and calmly and serenely t protract the close of life beyond its narrow span, this re storative is capable of effecting this grand desideratum. The Cordial is highly esteemed in the East and West In dies for nourishing and invigorating the nervous system and acting as a general restorative on debilitated constitutions, arising from bilious complaints contracted in hot climates. The studious as well as the sedentary part of the community should never he without the Cordial Balm of Syriacum, which removes diseases' , of the head, invigorates the mind, rnproves the memory, and enlivens the imagination.

Every page bears upon it the impress of truth and sincerity of purpose. We have read many works upon the same subject, but none with so much pleasure or so much instruction as we have derived from that now before us. Mr. Ogle's work is a great and valuable accession to the store we already possess of colonial information. To all who have either motive or inclination to emigrate, we can truly recommend its perusal. The map of the colony is the best extant, and the views of some of the settlements are highly picturesque."—Salisbury Herald. "The most valuable, because the most practically useful por tion of this work, is that copious department which is devoted to an account of the actual condition of the colcny of 'Western Australia, or, as it is better and more specifically designated, Swan River. This account is compiled and drawn up with so much care, and from such apparently unquestionable sources of information, that it may be safely depended upon as a around for the adoption of individual views as to the adaptation of the colony to the wants and circumstances of the various classes of persons who may be contemplating emigration."— New Monthly. " To those who were either presmt at Mr. Ward's motion upon the subject of 'emieration' in the last session, or to those who have read the able debate which that motion occasioned, the work of Mr. Ogle respecting the colony of Western Aus tralia must prove exceedingly interesting. It is a compila tion of facts which seem to have been collected with great care ; and if the authorities upon which Mr. Ogle relies be trustworthy, no one who reads this book can entertain the slightest doubt that the Western Australian colony presents the greatest advantages to the emigrant, whatever may be his circumstances."—Morning Chronicle. 13y the same Author•.

The object of this work is to bring forward the subject of Architecture in a more popular manner than has ever yet been attempted, It is addressed not more to the young Student than to the general reader of either sex, and aims at exhibiting in an attractive point of view what has hitherto been too exclusively connected with conventional science and mathematics. The picture, the poetry; thu sentiment, and the associations with which the subject. teems, are therefore prominently regarded ; while as much of the science as is necessary to critical appre c i a ti on an d a knowledge of the general principles of design, is involved in its treatment.

HAVING been appointed to take the Management of various Societies connected with the Town of Liverpool, I feel it my duty to lay their several claims plainly and clearly before you. The very little support which even the most favoured of them have received, considering the wealth and importance of the Town, must be accounted for, I imagine, from their objects and views not having been prominently brought be• fore all classes of the Inhabitants. I may just state, in corroboration of this, that there is not one person, out of every hundred in Liverpool, who subscribes to any of the charities of the town, and not one in ten (whose names appear in the Directory) who subscribes to any of these charities, and of these it may fairly he pressiimed that scarcely the name of one appears who might not subscribe something. I will now give a brief summary of the objects of the va rious Societies, and shall be in attendance at my Office every day, from Ten to Four o'clock, where I shall be most happy to receive Donations or Subscriptions, large or sma ll, t o an y or all of the following Associations. Your obedient Servant, JOSEPH CRISP, 38, Church-street. Liverpool Protestant Association. The object of this Association is,—First, to combine in one Christian brotherhood of self-defence all who truly love true re ligion and genuine liberty ; all who sincerely advocate the free circulation of the unmitilated and unadulterated Word of Gad ; all who assert and defend the right of private judgment ; all who venerate the inviolable sanctity of an oath ; all real loyalists who maintain the unrivalled and universal supremacy of the King or Queen of England within these realms, and• renounce, abjure, and detest any allegiance. whatever to any foreign power or pote n tat e , ecc l es i ast i ca l or civil. This is the direct object of our Protestant Association, considered in its Scriptural foundation, and its national exercise. Our second object is, to address ourselves with earnest affection to those of our fellow-countrymen who have the misfortune still to labour under anti-scriptural and anti-national pre judices; who are denied the free circulation of the pure word of God, and the right of private judgment ; who are taught that oaths, under 'certain circumstances, may and ought to be violated ; and who are commanded to yield their first and highest allegiance to a foreign ecclesiastical authority. The alarming spread of Popery, and the apathy of British Protestants, render the exertions of this Society of the most vital importance to th e we ll-b e i ng o f t h e : country, and the continuance of the invaluable blessings of civil and religions liberty. The mode of working is, by Petition, Public Meetings, and the circulation of Tracts, &c. containing useful and important information. The Association being now in active opera tion, stands much in need of increased funds. The rule of the Society constituting membership, is as follows :--" That all persons professing faith in the Holy Trinity, and being members 01, or friendly to, the Established Church of Eng land and Scotland, who shall subscribe five shillings annually, or give a donation of one guinea at any one time, shall be Members of this Association." Church Missionary Society. The objects of this Society are so well known that it is needless now to recapitulate them. I would, therefore. merely add, that the deficiency in the Society's funds of nearly £ll,OOO, and the strong and urgent calls from India for more Missionaries, render the claims of the Society more than ever pressing. APARTMENTS. ONE or Two Gentlemen c a n he accommo d ated with DRAWING-ROOM or DINING-ROO:VI and Two BED-ROOMS, in an airy and very respectable situation, about fifteen minutes walk from the Town-hall, where there are no children. Apply, (if by letter, post paid,) to B. Z„ at the Standard office. riio be LET, FURNI S H ED , f or s i x or e i g h t months, an .1 excellent FAMILY HOUSE, situate in the upper part of Mount-pleasant, No. 119. Apply to Messrs. CURRY and STATHAM, Solicitors, Lord street. 9 1 0 be LET, with immediate possession, all that BREW ERY, with the Four-Horse STABLE, COOPERAGE, an. excellent OFFICE, and other Premises thereto belonging, situate in Islington, in Liverpool, called. the latotmirroN BREWERY, late in,the occupation of Mr. Thomas Lee. The Brewery Apparatus consist; of a Steam-engine, of Four horse Power, with Boiler and other requisites complete. two Boiling Pans, one for Thirty Barrels, and the other for Thir teen Barrels, two Working Tubs, containing Twenty4our Barrels and Sixteen Barrels, Malt Mill, Crane, and other requisites. Further particulars, as to Rent, &c. may be known on application to Mrs. JONES, 140, Islington. Hibernian Society. The following facts are sufficient to show the' importance of this Society in promoting the spiritual welfare of the Irish people : I.—There are in Ireland between two and three millions of Irish-speaking population, of whom two millions speak English as well ; and between five and six millions who speak English exclusively. 2.—Among the English-speaking population, who are a large majority of the Irish nation, the London Hibernian So ciety is principally employed ; while, at the same time, for those who speak Irish only, it appoints Irish-speaking Scripture-readers, and forms, where it is required, Irish classes in its schools. 3.—lt is the principal Society to which the Irish -Clergy, and Protestants in general, look for aid in establishing and maintaini►,g their Scriptural Schools, and a far greater number of applications are received from them, than, in the present state of the funds, can be complied with. 4.—The number of Day-shools is 1157, containing 91,066 Scholars, of whom 34,067 are Children of Roman Ca • tholic Parents. Will you not help Ireland by supporting such a - So ciety as this ? Every security is given that your money will be prudently expended. No aid is afforded except where the Rules of the Society arc abided by ; the prin cipal of which are, that the whole Scripture shall he read in the Schools, and portions committed to memory ; and that every School shall submit to a quarterly examination by a competent inspector, whom the Society appoints. Its plan is so econimical that a child is educated for a year fbr little more than half-a-crown. Have you thus educated a child-- or, if not, will you not do it ? Lancashire Lord's Day Society. The sanctities of the Divine appointment of the Lord's Day are continually invaded from new quarters, and among 'increasing multitudes, by the spirit •of commerce, or of worldly pleasure ; while the bulwarks of law, raised to defend them, are no more efficient for that object than the fortresses of ant►quity to resist the alterations and improvements of modern warfare. On these accounts, there seemed an abso lute necessity that the friends of religion—who feel the favour of God to be the only safety and prosperity of a people— should combine in some effort (more powerful than could proceed from individual exertions, however zealously made,) to stand in the breach against the wide and wasting flood of Sabbath violations, by the formation of a Society which should have for its object the amendment of public feeling and principle on this momentous subject—the diffusion of spiritual light upon the common mind—the assistance of those who might wish for help in the high duty of keeping holy the Lord's Day—and especially of such legislators as might. have Christian courage to lift up their voices in the deliberate assemblies of the nation against this great trans gression of the country. The Society's operations are carried on by the instrumen tality of placards, addresses, memorials, tracts, and petitions to Parliament. Church Pastoral Aid Society. This Society has especial claims upon the town of Liver pool, as it is the means of providing many additional curates and scripture readers, at an annual expense of £Z - ,90, while the returns from the town for the past year were but £ll7. Surely Liverpool should, as au auxiliary, return more than she receives. __ The three following societies are especially devoted to the benefit of the seamen, and of those engaged in navigation on the canals, and therefore deserve the cordial support of all who are connected with the shipping and commerce of this port. _ BANK OF LIVERPOOL. FIFTEE.NTH DIVIDEND. THE DIRECTORS of the BANK of LITERPOOL DO HEREBY GIVE NOTICE to the Proprietors, that they hare declared a HALF-YEARLY • DIVIDEND, at the rate of 10 per Cent. per Annum, on the increased paid-up Capital of the Company, (being 12s. 6d. per Share,) from the Ist of July to the 31st of December, 1839; and that such Dividend will he payable, at the Bank of the Com pany, in Water-street, on and after NVEnsE.somc, the f,th day of February next, between the hours of ten and three on each day. Dated at Liverpool, this seventh day of January, 1840. By order of the Board, JOSEPH LANGTON, Manager. Each Proprietor will he expected, (if required,) on apply ing for.his Dividend, to produce the Certificate or Certificates of his Shares. The Transfer Books will be closed until the sth of February inclusive. LIVERPOOL EXCHANGE, %IRE Proprietors of the Liverpool Exchange will be paid a A. DIVIDEND of Four Pounds Ten Shillings on their respective Shares for the Year 1839, upon applying to Mr. JOHN Sun Low, the Cashier Exchange-court, Exchange street East, upon or after MONDAY next, the 3d day of Feb. ruary ; and also the further sum of Three Guineas for each share, in lieu of the right of nomination to the Public Room for the present year, provided the same be demanded on or be fore the 24th of December next. • Proprietors should he prepared to produce their Certificates, if required to Mr. Su ni.ow. The Personal Representatives of deceased Proprietors, Trustees, and others, who have not already obtained Certificates, will be required to produce the Wills or Instruments under which they claim, to Mr. THO 3. CARSON, Solicitor, Clarence-buildings, North John-street. By order of the Proprietors, at their General Meeting, held the 27th day of January, 1840. JOHN SUDLOW, Secretary. The Mariner's Church Has now been established, under the patronage of the Bishop of the Diocese, for more than twelve years ; and, as far as its means will allow, is carrying out the objects of the institution with increasing benefit. But their exertions are limited, for want of further support, and owing to the necessary repairs of the church, which have been lately effected, the Society is still involved in debt. It is, therefore, confidently hoped that the public will assist in liquidating this, and by increased subscriptions enable the committee to enlarge their sphere of usefulness, by opening schools for the children of seamen and fiatmen. The Naval and Military Bible Society, and Prayer Book and .Horuily Society, Are also in great need of assistance. Their object is to visit the shipping, by means of an agent who is employed for that purpose, and to supply the erews with prayer-books and homilies, and copies of the Scriptures, at reduced prices ; and, by a law of the Parent Naval and Military Bible Society, it is their wish to place on board every ship, flat, and steam boat, which leaves the port, a gratuitous supply of the Scrip tures, for the use of the crew (in proportion to the number of the men), where there are no means of selling them. I trust that the claims of these Societies will meet with a willing re sponse from all who are interested in the well-being of the seamen, as their funds are totally inadequate to carry out this desirable object without involving the parent society in a considerable loss. Trinitarian Bible Society. The peculiar object of the Trinitarian Bible Society is to publish faithful Protestant Vertions of the Holy Scriptures, in the Portuguese, Spanish, and German languages, in the translation of which they are already engaged : and it will be the particular design of the Liverpool Auxiliary, in addition to the ordinary modes of circulating the Word of God, to em ploy an intelligent pious person, as an agent, to visit the abodes of the poor and ignorant, whom there is no other means of reaching, for the purpose of inducing them to take an inte rest in the Holy Scripture, and to become purchasers by weekly or monthly subscriptions. Jewish Institution. The object of this Institution is to provide a temporary asylum for enquiring and converted Jews, and after eighteen months' experience, it hss amply answered the benevolent intentions of the promoters. While the inqUirer can obtain relief for a time, where he ►uay be protected against the persecutions of his brethren, the mode of living is so plain as not to offer an inducement to false or insincere professions. Much good is being done; but the funds arc so inadequate, that unless friends come forward more liberally with their means, the whole institu tion must be given up. Irish Sunday School Society, To promoti the establishment and facilitate the conducting of Sunday schools in Ireland, by disseminating the most approved principles for the management of such schools, by supplying them with spelling-books, and copies of the Sacred Scriptures, or extracts, without note or comment, either gra tuitously or at reduced prices. Society for Promoting Christianity amongst the Jews. The name of this Society sufficiently explains 'its object. It is to lead the lost sheep of the house of Israel to that Sa viour whom they crucified. Christians are under a heavy obligation to the Jews, for it was by them that the Sacred Volume was preserved, and to them they stand indebted for Christianity itself. But they should feel interested on their behalf, not only for the blessings of the past, but on account of the glory that is in store for the world when the Jews shall be restored to their own land. There are 50 Agents in connection with the Society, and of these, eight church clergymen and twenty-three missionaries are converted Jews. The Society has the strongest claims upon all Christians. Achill Mission. Dingle Mission. The whole income of all the above Societies together, in the wealthy and important town of Liverpool, with a popula tion of above 200,000 persons, amounts to little more than £3OOO. Surely there are 20,000 persons in the town (a tenth of the population), who could afford ss. per annum to the whole of the above Societies together, and this would produce £5OOO. Or, are there not ten congre gations, from each of which 500 persons could be found willing to subscribe 2s. 6d. per annum to any of the above of which they approve ; and this alone would produce £5OOO. Let every one do something, be it ever so small, and the funds of all will shew a vast increase at the end of 1810, when, God willing, I hope again to lay the finan cial state of the various Societies before the public. In the mean time, I shall he most happy to give every information in my power respecting the operations and general effi.. cieney of all the above associations. Collecting Boxes and Cards rna,y be had by any one who will kindly take charge of them. I. C. . MILK PUNCH ri MiIS unique and nectarious Liqueur has, for nearly a century, been duly appreciated at CHICHESTER AND THE METROPOLIS. It was at the former place where the original projector of this delectable beverage had his abode ; no doubt the corporation of that ancient borough evinced their good taste, and marked their approbation of this GREAT DISCOVERY, by presenting to him the freedom of the town ' • hut with that the present generation have nothing to d o ; suffice it to say, that this ELIXIR is now, for the very first time, introduced to the notice of the Lon viva utv of the northern parts of this , reat Kingdom for their judgment. It would be quite in vain to enter into any detail of its excellencies, yet, thus far may be vouched, that it is composed of the best materials, without any adulteration, and, in flavour, possesses the combined sweetness of the Grape, the fragrance of the Lime, with the exhiliration of Champagne ; and while THE LORDS OF THE CREATION will find it an excellent addenda to the Dinner Table, THE GENTLER SEX may not disdain to sip, the more 5:o as • ROYALTY has acknowledged its transcendent merit.

And although it may not produce that " con summation devoutly to he wished," yet, sure we are, its grateful properties are such as will he found to be an excellent restorative to the palates and stomachs of those who str&r from the effects of a sea voyage. It will keep in any climate, and possesses that sure criterion of genuine excellence, impiores by age. LE GRAND GOURMAND will find it a most social companion to his Calepash and Calepee, and th e temperate man, while he masticates his biscuit over a glass of it, will h e cons t ra i ne d to eu l og i se thi s incomparable Liqueur. " Come and try, Don't like—don't buy," is an old saying and a good one; and as in matters of taste every man is the best lodge, this invitation is given in the full assurance that, if the Milk Punch only finds its way to the palate, it will quickly be acknowledged to stand A 1 amongst the list of those good things which cheer the heart of mankind.

ADDRESS FROM THE PROPRIETOR TO THE PUBLIC. TEN years have now elapsed since this Magazine was first. started ; and the Proprietor thinks that he will not he liable to the charge of unnecessary intrusion if he, for the first time in his own person, ventures thus to address the public. The Magazine which hears his name was ushered into the world in 1830, without a single advertisement or preliminary announcement ; and it has, with constantly increasing suc cess, worked its way onward to 1840, solely by the public favour, accorded to its undeniable honesty of criticism, its unflinching boldness and consistency in politics, and the literary talent which he, without vanity, may say it has always displayed from the [beginning. The stirring period in which its first years of existence were cast, no doubt con tributed, to the advancement of a Magazine which never scrupled to express uncompromising opinions on passing events (events, as all must admit, of vital, lasting, and spreading importance) and which, from its undeviating course, could he always counted upon, whether as ally or enemy, in every emergency. It would, however, be unjust to the numerous contributors of the Magazine—and the list comprises men of the highest talent in every department of literature, and some among them diametrically opposed to its avowed party feelings—if its success were attributed wholly to the position it has taken in the political world. It would be invidious to select any names ; but to all persons ever so slightly acquainted with our literature, many of de served eminence and distinction will immediately occur; and what is of more consequence to the readers, the acknowledg ed literary merit of its articles will, without reference to any name whatever, be sufficient to account for the favour which it has attained, on grounds wholly distinct from those of party advocacy. bi ; Iluv T ttaoh l rie e es d,cl'obtruulol course i .la e te io khi r sl has aasot uf br hee n ei sni a t uf l frs o ai t s el, t ,noi( ( uni e srt x )ei c dloe e n p bi e)t by b roti yhro period his e ois a sfu t ip ten rp , years,. h nt i a c ol f contri butors, m a hn i ata a r i e. ! others of talent and distinction. In literary ability, he hopes, therefore, that his succeeding 'volumes will improve upon those which have passed ; or, at least, they will not fail to maintain the distinction which the Magazine has already earned. With respect to politics, it is probable that the year s now coming on will be of, deeper interest even than those which have Just elapsed. He does pot wish to assume the character of a political writer; but, in common with all who can read omens in what is going forward, he feels that an eventful time is at hand. In all the emergencies that may be anticipated from the seed sown by the Whigs during ten years, FRASER'S MAGAZINE will Continue to pursue the same right onward course in the " forties" w hi c h it h as main tained in the " thirties, turning neither to the right hand or to the left,—not fainting in heart, nor wearied in exertion, to maintain, to the utmost of its ability, the cause of Conserva tism—the cause of Church and State—the cause of God and our country. All who are connected with it feel that they have a right to expect that this promise may not be deemed idle or insinceie; their conduct in years past affording a fair guarantee for what their conduct will be in years to coins. Under these circumstances the Proprietor looks forward, with more than hope, to a still increasing circulation. The number of volumes, however—twealy — to which his Maga zine has extended, opposes, from their cost, an objection in the minds of many to commencing subscriptions to a work, of which, without considerable expense, they cannot obtain a complete set. The proprietor, therefore, acting under the advice of many friends, and yielding to several applications made to him on the subject, has reduced the price from £l5, the present cost of a full set, to £7 lOs ; for which he offers twenty large volumes of carefully written articles on all the subjects which have engrossed public attention during the last ten years ; papers on the state, the strength, the relative position of partieS. To Conservative statesmen, of such value as almost to be indispensable, and to their antagonists of no- small service, as showing the points on which we think they can be most dangerously assailed.

While undressing him, nearly 30 sove reigns fell out of his pocket, although he had declared that he was without a farthing. On Monday he asked to be sent home, and the medical officer sent him in a fly ; on reaching his cottage he became very ill, and told a person where he had some property secreted, and on the man going to the spot, Jones, who accompanied him, endeavoured to seize the money himself', but suddenly dropt down dead. On search ing the cottage, £250 in gold, £4O in silver and copper, a mortgage deed for £250, and several other securities for money were found, besides all sorts of old metal, hooks, and every description of " inconsiderable trifles" - that could ba gleaned, were found secreted in various places. The miser was also the possessor of the house he resided in, and three other freehold cottages in the neighbourhood, all of which ha had acquired by selling herbs, vegetables, and fruit, and occasionally begging. li is heir is a brother in the workhouse. ---Salopian Journal. DREAuistri. - EXPLOSION OF POWDER MILLS.—We, regret to state, that a dreadful explosion took place on Friday after noon, about three o'clock, at the powder mills at Elter Water, Westmoreland, about four miles from Windermere,. by which two men l os t th e i r li ves i nstantly, and five others were so severely scorched that three of them are since dead, and very slight hopes are entertained of the recovery of the other two. It appears that the explosion took place first in the corning mill where the two men killed on the spot Were employed alone; consequently there is no account of the manner in which the accident. originated. The second ex plosion took places few seconds after the first, in a detached building, about twenty yards distant, where the five wounded men were employed. It appears, from the account given by one of the survivors, that it appeared to him as if, inunedf-: ately after the first explosion, a red hot iron bar broke through the roof of the building in which he was, when the second explosion immediately took plane. The powder exploded is estimated at about five tons. The two reports were heard for twelve miles round the country, and resembled thunder, but of an unusual sound ; and many intelligent persons con cluded, that it was an explosion of these mills. Indeed two volumes of smoke was seen to rise in that direction from a distance of eight miles. The two buildings are literally le velled with the ground, and several cottages are injured by having their windows broken, and doors, &c. much injured. We regret to state, that the whole of the sufferers have. left wives. and families. AFFRAY WITH POACHERS. Between one and two o'clock in the morning of Wednesday, as John Rayner, Joseph Carmell, and William Sharpe, three watchers of the preserves, belonging to his Grace the Duke of .Newcastle, were on their respective rounds, they heard the report of fire-arms. Proceeding in the direction from whence the sound came, they discovered three men armed, who, on seeing they were likely to be taken, began to make off. The watchers, however, commenced a vigorous pursuit, and ap proaching near them, one of the poachers turned round and levelled his gun at one of the watchers, but fortunately he was sufficiently near to hit the fellow's arm, and prevented him from carrying his obvious design into execution. A most murderous attack then commenced on the keepers, who defended themselves in a most courageous manner, and ulti mately succeeded in securing two of the fellows, who proved to be Robert Ridge, of Eeelesall, and Thomas Ogden, of Sheffield, one of whom was armed with a beautiful double barrelled gun, and the other with a single-barreled one. They had already secured five brace of pheasants. After they had been taken to Normanton lan, in the parish of Elksley, near the place where they were apprehended, it was found that both the prix niers were terribly mauled ; so much so as to render the attendance of a medical man neces sary. During the day they were brought to Retford, and on being closely searched by Leadbeater,- the police-officer, several picklock keys were round upon them, which gave evident demonstration that poaching was only one branch .of their professional avocations. On being brought before James Lee, Esq., and the R ev . E . H . Dawkins, they offered nothing by way of defence, and there being no instructions to send them for trial, under the night poaching act, et the neat assizes, they were committed to• Southwell for three months' imprisonment, and at the end. of that time, to find sureties to keep the peace, or be further imprisoned for six months.—Shetfield Patriot. AN 'NOUN CHOULTRY.—As soon as the sun has gone down, darkness rapidly prevails in this latitude; nor is there any artificial or enlivening substitute in a Hindoo village for the light of day. As soon as 1 could, theretbre, I chose my birth in Bal-Chitty's choultry ; but it was my lot to mingle, as one in a mixed multitude, with men of the least agievable habits, and with them to share the troubles incident to a common caravanserai. I spread out my mat, and lay down upon the floor of the choultry ; my horse was picketed out side, in charge of his keeper; but my companions were less attractive within. Vermin °fan offensive description—beetles, cockroaches, bats, mosquitoes, &c,—were plentiful: the apartment was dark, a single oil lamp was our only source of light; added to all other incidental nuisances, one of the heavy showers common to the petty monsoon fell after sun set, and forced into the choultry many who would have pre ferred a place in the open air. The atmosphere, confined and heavy, b ecame. mos t h eav y, a nd all sleep fled, not w ith stan di m; - my earnest solicitations. It was in vain that I tossed from side to s id e , h o ped for repose, or tried to coax mrself to of the mosquitoes, the deaf drowsy forgetfulness.

There are two modes of pro ceeding conjointly necessary in order to be effectual ; oneis. the organizing vaccine institutions, and the other is, makine; the propagation of small-pox by inoculation penal, and mak ing provision for insulating strolling beggars, who carryit from place to place. How culpable is the legislature which, with a single exception, has entirely neglected these matters. Last: summer a beggarwoman took her place not forty'eeirds from my door, having in her urms tt child dying of the small pox; on being threatened by the police, she removed to a less public place, but that. was all. There should have been legislative provision for withdrawing this woman front public contact, and for disinfecting her before she was released. My office as Physician to the Foundling Hospital has brought before me another mode in which small-pox is propagated throughout the land. Itinerant inoculators, availing them selves of the ignorance and prejudices of their fellows,.for a small fee communicated the disease from one to another. Some of their tickets have been brought me by foundlin.; nurses, who mistook the instructions they receiVed abate vaccinating the children. One these, I recollect, rest thus, " I scratify that I have eittentated," Vic . Among the children at present within the walls of the hospital, there are about a dozen, whose arms attest the fact of such ejaculation. A penalty of five pounds, or imprisooment in the common mail for not less than one mouth, upon summary convictipu before magistrates at petty-seeeions, would suffice to arrest the propagation of pestilence in this mode. I regret to sax that the fine is needed as well as incarceration, inord4 to meet a higher elate than the itinerant inoculators. The only exception which should be made in a law of this hied is, in those cases where small-pox may have actually apeeercd ice the household previously to the inoculation. Re-vaceination has been recommended, as a practical deduction from some of the opi n i ons or not i ons which have been com b ete d je - the foregoing paper. Re-vaccination of the poor generally would be unwise, because the utmost that their i mprovident habits will ever submit to is, to receive vaccination once, and the effort to repeat it would only, in their minds, throw discredit; on the whole matter, and thus lead to limit it in the first i„- stance. Amongst the higher classes re-vaccination is, no no velty. Good sense being the guide as to the inede,l tkint the repetition wise and to be commended.----Dr.. redei o -n . .o . l\ PrO !Kt irr Pow of Tru Ferrer ccngg iion. • • • . . ders— knd C . ad T.
