THE EXHIBITION OF THE SOCIETY OF

PHRENOLOGY.

[From the Elate dated Saturday.l

ALEPPO, JAW. 30.
Perfect tranquillity prevails in this Paehahk. Ali Bey el As-
gard has been appointed to the Pachalik of Tripvti. This is a
happy event for that province.
The Ansanes return to their duty, and the inhabitants of Latakia
who have emigrated, come home again. Troubles have broken out
in Lebanon ! most of the inhabitants, supported by three Emirs,
have risen against Emir Bechir, and will not acknowledge him for
their Governor. The Sheik Bekir supports this insurrection. The
two parties have fought : it is said that Sheik Bekir has been de-
feated, and that several of his partisans have perished.
A letter from Bagdad of the 30th Dec. states, that news had been
received from Bassorah of the capture of Peya by the English ; but
no details were given. According to the same letter, the malady
of Bassorah, confounded with the cholera markt*, had rad=
Abated. _

The Seventh Lecture of Dr. Spurzheim on the science of Phre-
nology, was opened with a general recapitulation of the con-
tents of the six preceding lectures. He was particularly desirous
of impressing upon the auditory that he was as yet treating only
of the fundamental powers of the mind in themselves considered,
and not of their application. At present they were only learning the
mere rudiments of Phrenological science. In subsequent lectures
he would explain how these power', acting in combination, mute
ally influenced and controlled arh other. At present he was as le
were simply teaching the letters of the alphabet. He had already
gone through the powers, of which the organs were manifested in
the occipital region. Hie future lectures would relate to the upper
and frontal parte of the head. He had before called their at.
tention to the difference of shape in the heads of individuals
and nations. In the English generally, the greater mar of
brain was behind ; in the French, the greater mass was in
accordedwell=with tits

which he had adverted was that of love of approbation.

desire to acquire depended in like manner on the development es
Particular part of the cerebral mass. Where it was too large, the
individual would be disposed to steal, or obtain what be desired by
fraudulent and dishonourable means. On this faculty chiefly corn.
merce was founded, but rot upon it alone. It was observed
that there were some individuals who reflected steadily on the
subjects that came before them, and then made up their minds
decidedly with respect to them, while other individuals could ne.
ver decide in any respect whatever. Some persons were always so
timorous and doubtful, that they felt it impossible to determine of
they should act, and were swayed by every suggestion anelx.
sentation made to them. The less toned the head was
the more decisive the character of the individual. The sewn el'
cautiousness was situated in the midst of the parietal buses, and
whereverit was largely develqed, it was in vain to expect the in-
dividual to adopt any immediate or fixed resolution. There were
nations known for their cautiousness, and in them this organ was
always found fully developed. In women it was generally very large.
Nature had given them stronger feelings in many respects than
men, and it would be observed on examination, that this
organ was usually very broad in proportion to the whole Sift
of their heads. Gmerally men's heads were broader laterally, but
in this particular women's were commonly larger. In animals •
similar difference might be observed. Sonic acted by immediate
impulse, others with circumspection. The fox, prompted by his
faculty of secretiveness, ran away the moment he was roused, and
endeavoured to hide himself. Careful animals, those who looked
about them before they deckled how to act, were invariably
broader in this part of the head. In proof of this statement, the
Professor showed several skulls; those of the chamois and roe,
which, as cautious animals, were broad : those of the hyena and
wolf were ionately narrow. Where this faculty was toe
much develo the individual became timid and fcartul. After
proportionately
some other observations on the other faculties, on which he had
descanted in his previous lectures, the Professor observed, that all
these propensities were common to men and animals. lie had cot
yet arrived at those sentiments which peculiarly distinguished the
human character. Of those faculties through which he had already
passed, however, he would remark, that they were not all given to
any animal together. Some animals had tome of these faculties,
but they always existed in a more isolated and less active state.
Horses and doge were animated by the lore of approbation. They
obviously liked to be flattered. This was with them as with man,
a fundamental feeling, modified, however, in its operation, accord-
ing to the combination of other feelings. In the present Lecture,
the subject of consideration would be the upper region of the head,
a part which was deserving of all the attention phrenologists could
bestow upon it. Dividing the head by a horizontal line through die
middle of the forehead, it would be found that the far greater
portion of mankind had the basis larger than the upper part of the
head. In the inferior portion, the faculties of combativeness,
destructiveness, acquisitiveness, and others of that kind, were de.
veloped ; and the more amiable faculties in the superior regon.
It was not desirable, however, for an individual to have the
inferior powers too small in their development, because it was
only from their fulness that energy resulted. The Professor
now approached what he stated to be the most interesting and
difficult part of his subject. It was a doctrine of Phrenology
that the moral and religious feelings depended on the cerebral
parts. Lavater had observed that a peculiar confinmation of the
hod belonged to persons eminent for their piety. The organ of
veneration, as It was called in the Phrenological Nomenclature, was
situa(ed in the centre of the upper region of the head. Artists had
always represented saints and other pious people remarkable for the
elevation of this part. The head of our Saviour was so depicted,
while that of Judas was equally noticeable on account of its depres-
sion. Any individual, however unskilled in Phrenology, would
say at o el that a highly raised head was preferable toalow and flu
one. But it should not be merely elevated in the centre, but in the
circumference also. In the opinion of the Phrenologists, the larger
the surface of the organ the more strongly did die faculty prevail.
If it were objected that moral and religious feelings could not be .
connected with the development of particular parts of the cersiosk
mass, he begged the objectors to pause and consider the cosine
pursued by the Phrenologist. He did not invent, or create, or
imagine, what was not actually in existence. Ile only observed
facts, and called upon others to examine as rigidly as they pleased
the inferences he drew from those facts. He tried to discover what
existed. by patient and sedulous investigation. Acting on these
principles, he concluded that man was by nature a moral and re-
ligious being. He did not speak of any detemlinate application of
the moral and religious faculties of man, but simply cf them as
fundamental feelings, disposing him generally to moral and rah-
pious conduct. It was formerly an opinion, that Phrenology was
dangerous to religion; but it was evident that no truth could be
adverse to the cause of true religion, and in the science of Phan°.
logy no particular religion was considered. All that was affirmed
was, thee some men were more disposed to be religious than
others, and that to the manifestation of this disposition certain
parts of the cerebral mass were destined. Some individuals might
be destitute of all religious feeling, and yet have this organ fully
developed ; but in these casts, the result was owing to the controll-
ing influence of other faculties. Some metaphysical philosophers
had roundly denied that man was naturally disposed to be religious.
But how had these individuals proceeded to philosophise ? They
had shut themselves up for the purpose of self-contemplation, and
considering all mankind to resemble themselves, had inferred that
in whatever respect they were deficient all other men must be
equally wanting. This mode of reasoning the Phrenologist con.
sidered radically vicious. He conterled, that in all mankind a
religious feeling move or less strong existed. Again, be repeated,
lest he should be misunderstood, that he alluded to no determinate
religion. He meant only, that all men were disposed to re-
ceive instruction in those duties which were termed moral and reli-
gious. The Professor then discriminated between these sentiments.
He called moral such powers of the mind as guided the action of
men relative to their neighbours and others surrounding and con-
nected with them. He called religious such powers of the mind
as induced men to seek for communication with supernatural
beings. Every day the difference was seen in this reepect between
men. Some lived constantly in the fear of God, and in obedience
to the Divine Commandments. Others paid no attention to good
works. and relied exclusively for salvation on their faith. In chil.
I dren the same difference existed in degree. Some were inclined to
believe the religious doctrines they were taught, while others disre-
garded all they heard, and attended only to the impulses of their
appetite. Now in animals there was no religious sentiment a hat-
ever, but they had some feelings analagous to morality. Strong
attachments existed among them : they would die for their young.
Dogs had been known to perish through grief on the grave ofa
beloved master. But no action had ever been observed amongst
them which could warrens the conclusion that they had any idea of
, communication with the Supreme Being. They evince some tinge
of morality in their conduct, but never any of religion. In some
domestic animals there was evidently a great deal of benevolence.
The temper of dogs and horses was well known to differ widely.
In those that were benevolent. the upper part of the forehead was
always more developed. The Professor exhibited several skulls of
different species in illustration of the fact. In the human race, the dif-
ference of temper was much more observed. Some were emphatically
called good-bearted. Experience had 'hewn that there were indivi.
duals who would sacrifice anything they bad fur the relief ofeufferers.
No trouble or danger would deter diem from works of beneficence.
In all these instances the organ of Benevolence was fully developed.
In the cruel and selfish egotist it would be found invariably de.
pressed. It was gratifying, the Professor remarked, to know that
this benevolent feeling existed to a great extent among mankind.
In all countries there were many individuals the chief delight of
whose existence was the pleasure of doing good. Some children
would give away all they fiad to those who wanted it, while others
would grasp at every thing, and retain it, howsoever they might
be solicited to part with it. Again he repeated, that every
individual had the genie faculties. The only difference was, that
in some they were proportionably developed. In the greatest cri.
tninals, benevolence exulted. There had been robbers who would
never plunder the poor. Some would only steal from churches. In
these the organ of veneration vise (laicism. But wherever the or.
gan of benevolence was fully developed, it might be predicted with
certainty that the individual abounded in all the kindlier feelings
of our nature. The Professor concluded with giving a general view
of the subjects of which he should treat in his next Lecture.

changes in the Spanish Ministry are also said to be
in contemplation ; among which the removal of Zsa
BERRUDIZ.himself is rumoured. With so fickle a sove-
reign as FERPIN•ND it is of Cairn impssiW to conjec-
ture how far these reports may be well-fouaded. If they
should prove correct, the result of the negotiation will be
still further deis,red• But it is certainly true, that when
the last adyione left Madrid, the terms of which Mr. Goa-
-1 GOAT was the bearer, were still under consideration by the
Spanish Ministry. The illness of the Xing of SrRIN has
also had the effect of retarding the progress of the nego-
elation.
The 'Times, in its article on this subject on Friday,
thought fit, in order to explain why the dismissal of
Bomar should put an end to a negotiation, which, in the
very same article, it also, for the sake of consistency, re-
asserted very positively had never been commenced, to
state that M. GREGORIE (as we really know not why
it styled the gentleman now in Madrid) had married
the sister of M. Ua*ass's wife. The passage is
worth quoting in the original words:—" M. Gasoo-
ais is, we believe, the brother-in-law of the Minister
UG•RT , those Gentlemen having married two sis-
ters." In the other passages of the article, Mr. GRE-
GORY is positively called " the relation of M. UQAST!,"
and of his relationship to UoAllTa there could be no doubt,
if he had, indeed, married M. Uoaars's wife's sister; but
this fact is as entirely groundless as all the others
which the Times has published with respect to this
transaction. Mr. GREGORY iS not married at all, nor
in anyway connected by the ties of consanguinity or
marriage with M. UOARTE. The story of " the Minister
and his relation," who were endeavouring to make " half
a million sterling" by the loan, which a short time ago
the Times said was to be only five millions altogether in
amount, is just as true as the information brought by the
courier on this day fortnight, " confirming almost to the
letter" the previous statement, that FI/DINAND would
not allow as much for the bonds as the value of the
paper on which they were printed. Both statements are
equally true ; that is to say, plainly speaking, there is not
a word of truth in either.

MADRID, Matzen 21.
The King has replaced M. Ugarte in his office of Secretary of
the Council of State, by M. Urrutia, who was at the head of a
division in the Foreign Office. 111. Ugarte has declined the Em-
bassy to Turin, on account of ill-health ; but adding, that he would
continue to serve his Majesty in the Peninsula. His refusal of the
Embassy has beets accepved,...but-be has been ordered to leave the
capital immediately and to chopse his pigmy! residence : he has
chosen Toleeleakafehe- creattires of the favourite seem 11814

who lately refused the mission to Switzerland, to which be was
appointed. has received orders to quit Madrid in eight days, and
repair to his post, about the time that his patron was ordered to
depart in twenty-four hours.
There is more talk that ever of a change of Ministers, but it
doe' not seem likely that M. Zee will lose his place, for it is certain
that if he had not assisted in the overthrow of Ugarte, the latter
would be still in favour. However, it is reported in the palace,
that the Count de Casa Fiore: will succeed M. Zea, and that an
express has been sent to order him to set out for 31adrid irnme-
distely. It is thought that M. Salazar, the Minister of Marine,
will retain his post, but that M. Superintendent of the
Council of Camille, will be replaced by M. Marin, or M. Arjons,
Members of the Council.
TURIN, MARCH 24.
Our Court received, some time ago, from the Emperor of Austria,
an invitation, similar to those sent to the King of Naples and other
Sovereigns of Italy, to go to Milan during the Emperor's visit to
that city. Such an invitation has more the air of a protectorate, or
supremacy, for the kind of humiliation attached to it net to de-
velope the germs of discontent which has been long concentrated.
The answer of the King of Naples, brother to our Queen, is a proof
of it. The Duke of Modena and Tuscany, and the Prince of Lucca
and Piombino, will not hesitate to *hew their obedience, and re.
pair to the rendezvous. They are too sensible of their relative
weakness, and too accustomed to consider 31ilan as the capital from
which, like Governors of provinces, they have to expect orders : but
It may be foreseen, that if the geographical situation of Piedmont
with respect to Lombardy will not allow the King of Sardinia
publicly to follow the example of the King pf Naples, he will not
shew too ready a compliance, and will even, if occasion offers,
maintain the dignified and independent character suitable to the
natural pride of a little nation, which has always been distinguished
by Its martial spirit.
It must be remembered that this people can recal in ill fortune
the counsel given by our immortal Alhere, of the family of his
Majesty's Ambassador at present at Paris—
" Siam 'nein, ma serve ognorlfrementi."
This people, the natural guardians of the Alps, have every
reason to fear the preponderance of Austria, from which they have
all to fear, and seek the friendship of France, which cannot give
them any uneasiness.

CITY, liisrosnar EVENING.
The Markets were nearly deserted this morning; the
speculators being mostly absent from town in consequence of
the Easter holidays and the fine weather. The English
Market was steady, Consols being the same as on Thurs-
day, 934 3 for the April account, and 934 for money.
In the Foreign Market there was no bustle. The agita-
tion of the.settlinF-day has completely subsided. A per-
son who was deficient in his payments has withdrawn, but
the greatest part of the Stock receipts, &c. have been re-
covered. The price of Brazil Scrip has considerably im-
proved. It reached 3in the course of the day. The cause
assigned for this advance is the report that favourable
accounts relative to the recognition of the independence of
Brazil have been received by the Lisbon mail this morn-
ing. We have seen several private letters, dated the 12th
March, which came by the packet, but they contain no
political news. We should rather suspect that it is in an-
ticipation of what may be daily looked for, rather than any
actual advices on the subject. In the early part of the
morning South American Securities rather advanced; but
they afterwards retrograded. Colombian Bonds were done
at 904 3 90; Mexican Scrip I/ 1 to 4; Danish Scrip was
Ito 1 discount. Greek Scrip was very buoyant—there
were buyers at 44 discount. Spanish Bonds were a shade
better—the Old were at 234, and those of 1823, at 184.

The Paria Papers of Friday are quite barren of domestic
intelligence. The oppressive domination of the Austrian
Court over Italy aeons to be arousing a just spirit of dis-
content among the inferior Powers, who regard the invita-
tion of the Emperor to meet him at Milan as the haughty
requisition of a lord paramount, exacting the personal ho-
mage of the princes in subjection to him. The King of SAN-
Dr N I a, if he be afraid to follow the example of his brother
of NAPLES, from which the geographical position of his
dominions will probably deter him. is disposed at least to
manifest his reluctance to submit to the required degtada-
lion. The inferior Princes of Italy dare not hesitate.
By the Etoile of Saturday, it appears that the troubles

(the Marquis of Hastings) expressly excepts cotton from
the other imports, respecting which he would issue notices
according to the circumstances which might transpire. The
suffering of Malta from drought has been excessive, and
prayers have been ordered in the churches throughout the
Island. The latest accounts state, that some partial rains
had fallen.

Woor..—lndependent of the high price of cotton yarn,
the weavers in Lancashire have experienced a rise of 10 per
cent. on all kinds of work; and six manufacturers in
Ashton-under-Lyne, having granted the advance, agreed
also to employ every weaver in the town, if necessary. A
General Meeting is to take place in Manchester on the 4th
of April next, when a vast concourse from the neighbour-
hood is anticipated. The weavers in the North of England
are all alive on the occasion—few above 1 t years of age
are una.ssociated.—Glasgow Free Press.
JOBBING.—On Thursday last a buyer took foreign secu-
rities to the amount of about 90001. for which he gave his
checks. These were paid in at different bankers, and ex-
changed at the clearing-house, in the usual course. On
turning to the account, there appeared on the credit side
twenty pounds to pay 9,0001. and about half-past five the
checks were all returned! The holders forthwith coin-
menced a vigorous search for the defaulter—but in vain
examined all his usual haunts. At length it was resolved,
though hopeless of success, to visit his residence, where, to
the astonishment of all the gentlemen, he was fcund in
bed, fast locked in the arms of Morpheus. On being
roused, be betrayed strong symptoms of the influence of
Bacchus, and being asked, somewhat abruptly—for " the
Bonds," pointed to his coat pocket. In that safe depository
were found the whole 0000/. with the exception of about
'root. only. With that quickness of discernment which
distinguishes negociants, it was felt that somebody must
suffer—a general rush took place—and each pocketed what
he could pick up in thescramble. A council was, however,
held, and seeing that the defalcation on the whole was in-
considerable, the loss was agreed to be divided amongst the
sufferers pro rata.—Britis4 Traveller.

The Gsigaa Chrowide, of the 4th of February, says—
" We are happy to Sod that the prospect of sugar is im-
proving, as very great importations of foreign grain have
lately taken place into England from the Continent,
which are generally paid for in colonial produze but we
are sorry to observe, that from the almost unprecedented
Lngth of the dry season in this colony (Demerara), the
sugar crops of the present will fall very far short of th:i
last year, and may be estimated at a deficiency of at least
one-third ; and if the drought continue much longer, the
crop of the ensuing year will be most seriously affected
by it."
Letters dated the Gth of February have been received
from Demerara. They represent that colony to be per-
fectly tranquil.
The Lisbon Gazette of the 11th March states, that his

1,500 persons, who had been convoked to receive an in-

expense of the Palace. After all, these evils (mentioning
insurrections). are but the prelude of still greater, which
menace this wretched country, if the drought should con-

time, " that lie was sorry to inform him that lie died a
Roman Catholic." " Well, so much the better," said his
Lordship. " (lot awa, my Lord, how can you say so of a
