THE PRODUCTIVE RESOURCES of
INDIA.

By J. FORBES BOYLE, M.D., F.R.S.,

Late of the Medical Staff of the Bengal Army, and Super-
intendant of the Hon. East India Company's Botanic Gar-
den at Saharunpore, and Author of " Illustrations of the
Botany and other Branches of the Natural Histary of the
Himalaya Mountains."
We feel that, with every disposition to do justice to Dr.
Boyle's labours, we have failed in giving anything like an idea
of their value and importance. The contents of this volume
are so varied and interesting that it is absolutely imposisble, in
so short a notice, to do justice to it."—Britannia, Oct. 10, 1840.
" The early pages of the Essay are a lucid and well-written
sketch of the arts of culture in other parts of the world."—

GLOVES.

An ill-bred man wears gloves only on extract 'inary
occasions, and knows not how to wear them ; he ither
selects them of a colour ill-suited to his dress, to nar-
row or too large. When he has them on, he i- at a
loss how to dispose of his hands ; if he takes thet,l off,
he ruffles then, and soon thrusts them into his poc,;ets.
He that wears dirty gloves, and with holes at the tips
of the fingers is one ashamed of his poverty.
Gloves at 19 sous are only to be tolerated in a fancy
shopkeeper's accountant, a small country-town banker,
or an attorney's clerk.
All individuals who wear cotton gloves will at night
wear a cap of the same material.

The gentlemanly man knows how to select, put on,
wear, and take off his gloves with good taste. The cox-
comb's gloves fit so closely that be can neither move his
fingers nor shut his hand, and therefore he holds his cane
between his fingers as Punch does his stick.

THE CANE.

A small cane is bumbkin, a large one snobbish, a
knotty stick is low, a thick stick common, too small a
stick is foolish ; a fishing-rod stick, a flageolet or um-
brella stick, are downright stupid.
A handle ornamented with stones is prim, a shell
handle is disgraceful, a long handle is oldfashioned ; a
head sculptured on a handle is bad taste ; a snuff-box
handle, a musical one, and a handle with a whistle or a
spyglass, are fit only for commercial travellers.
The urchin who wishes to appear manly trails his
stick along the pavement ; the rustic, who apes the gen-
tleman, makes his stick take as many strides as himself :
the lounger rubs his mouth, his cheeks, his chin, with
the handle of his stick ; the happy man holds his cane
by the middle and taps the palm of his other hand ; the
sad or reflective man carries his cane stuck perpendicu-
larly to his leg ; the absent man hits everything that
lies in his way, without excepting the legs of the pas-
sengers ; the student twirls his stick in every one's face ;
the landholder carries his under his arm ; the dreamer
holds it with both hands behind his back ; and the spy
hangs his cane to his coat button.

THE « SIGN AL BLESSING."

" It has been, and is, a SIGNAL BLESSING to the
country during the present misunderstanding with the
French Government, that our own affairs are in the
hands of men on whom it can rely as the conservators
of peace to the utmost point at which peace can be
honourably preserved. We have now had a long immu-
nity from the calamity of war. The best interests of
humanity and social improvement are bound up in its
continuance.'— illorning Chronicle.
" Its continuance r Is it (for the sense of the thing

is by no means clear) the continuance of war or peace
that is here meant? It cannot be " peace ;" for, during
the government of these " conservators of the peace,"
we have bad "little wars" with Spain, Portugal, Ca-
nada, and Affghanistan ; and at this moment we are at
war with China and Egyrt, and have a near prospect of
one with France.

But there is more of the " signal blessing" to come,
Lt appears. The same writer in the Chronicle goes on

o say-

" In that fact (of a known and trusted peace party
being now at the helm) Lord Palmerston has found
the resource of a quietly confiding people, whose tone
and temper have been so manifested as to afford him
whatever support he could desire, whether for prolonged
peace or INEVITABLE WAR."
• - -

“Or inevitable war !” Murder will out. And it is
by cant such as this, about " signal blessings," that the
people are to be led blindfolded into a destructive and
expensive war by their Whig and Tory masters

WRITTEN CARICATURES.

(From the Charivari.)
TIIE BEARD.

Enormous moustachios, worn by men whose profes
sion is not military, hide either an ugly mouth or bad
teeth, excepting when they are the ornamen- of an
officer of the civic militia, in which case they are no
longer the toy of a lout playing at soldiers.
Bushy whiskers are exceedingly becoming—to hack-
ney coachmen and police sergeants.
Whiskers which are shaved to a level with the mouth,
or which, scanty above, gradually enlarge as they de-
scend, till they fill up the space between the mouth
and ears, are the natural embellishments of a black•
smith, a publican, or a porter.
The tenth-rate painter wears a mouche ala Vandyck,
or a la Henri 111.

But the full beard is the appurtenance of artists' sit-
ters, of incomprehensible poets, of village trampers, and
of Parisian lions, to the latter of which it becomes a
substitute for a mane.

Few men connected with the complicated departments of
surgery are deserving of more grateful mention than Mr. Van
Bulchell, whose unwearied dedication to the cure of those most
painful of all diseases, which this book treats of, has resulted in
a continued course of success in cases of the most hopeless and
forbidding nature. * * * We find nearly every page re-
cording some astonishing cure in patients whose sufferings
had been of many years' duration, and most excruciating in
their nature. The warmth of expression with which the gra-
titude of some of the restored is couched must be truly gratify-
ing to the feelings, and highly creditable to the skill and judg-
ment, of Mr. Van Butchell."—Weekly True Sun.

CARLOS, no delicacy restrained Sir ROBERT •
PEEL, Mr. M‘LEAN, and Lord LONDONDERRY
from pouring nightly torrents of abuse on the
then devoted head of Lord PALMERSTON. But
the prospect of a war with France is quite another
matter. It is a question of a few extra millions of
loans and taxation—of Toty jobbing. and Tory
ascendancy—of popular distress and liberal humi-
liation. Let not our readers be deceived by the cant
of the Tory Journals, who, under the guise of
peace, are doing all in their power to foment war.
What we want to hear is the voice of their chiefs,
and that, too, before the question is finally disposed
of by the Allies and the Cabinet of France.

We are the more eager for settling this question
amicably, from seeing that France has voluntarily
offered such explanations as have removed the
greatest difficulties in the way of a speedy adjust-
ment ; and from observing moreover the dishonest,
hypocritiCal shifts to which the Tory organs are
having recourse in the hope of blowing the spark
of discontent yet remaining into a devouring and
inextinguishable flame. We wish, too, to rouse
the country to a full knowledge of the game which
the Tory chiefs are playirg. War will oust the
Ministry, for it is out of the power of Ministers to
sustain in the field of battle the principle of the
coalition ; therefore the Tories, whatever they may
pretend by their silence, are for war. With a
contest with France will come fresh loans
and additional taxes, of which the Tories
will have the mismanagement ; therefore they
are for war. Then the principle of the coa-
lition, if carried out, would place England
in hostile collision with the principle s of civil and
religious liberty in Poland and Italy, and so inflict
a deadly blow upon these principles at home ; con-
sequently the Tories are wild for war.
We entreat the humane and liberal people of
England to .rellect.upon this, and to take such
measures as constrain the Cabinet to attend to
the voice of reason, of justice, and of peace.

THE CRAVAT.

The style of the cravat changes according to our age.
Befora 10, our necks are free from all encumbrance ;
up to 18 the cravat is an object of utility—from 20 to
2.5 it becomes a matter of pleasure, we seek to set off
our countenances to advantage, and endure the yoke of
a cravat with a light heart ; at 30 the cravat bee ins to
be a study ; at 40 it becomes a task, and gradually as-
sumes more ample dimensions—we aspire to repose.
After this age our last pretensions to beauty, its sur-
vivors by twenty or thirty years, decay and vanish, and
the cravat becomes what it may, we heed it not ; either
it collapses, and allows itself to be crushed by the still
shirt collar, or becomes a refuge for the chin and mouth,
and even for the nose.

The shape, colour, and disposition of a cravat vary
with the axe, and also with the character and social po-
sition, of the individual.
A. pliant and loose cravat, negligently tied, will
mark out your man who knows how to enjoy life ; by a
stiff brown cravat, tightly drawn, you will recognize the
humourist—the man that never sleeps well. The phy-
sician, the artist, the barrister (we do not mean the
amateur barrister) wear a cravat tied in an unpretend-
ing way, without stiffness, and abstain altogether from
shirt collars.

The provincial, whose species is gradually becoming
extinct, may still be distinguished by his mohair stock
(warranted to last five years).
The man of fashion imprisons his neck in a prim black
satin stock. The ex-singer at the Shades, the old ad-
mirer of Mademoiselle Mars, the literary man of the em-
pire, encircle their throats with a kind of white turban,
above which their wrinkled countenances appear like a
macaroon floating on a cream.
Lastly, to conclude our chapter of cravats, by way of
useful information, we call your attention to the gen-
tleman whose throat is ornamented with a rusty black
velvet stock, exceedingly high, and fastened at the nape
of his neck with a large steel buckle—in presence of
such a person prudence warns us to be cautious in our
speech ; he is a political informer.

PRINCE'S.

The Thespians, a new amateur dramatic society,
gave their first performance last evening at this
Theatre. The evening's amusement commenced
with the tragedy of Macbeth, which was got
up in a manner reflecting the greatest credit
upon those who have the management of
the stage business of the Society : in fact, in
the most practised company the business of the
stage could not have been attended to better. The
gentleman who acted Macbeth possesses all the
qualifications requisite to make a first-rate actor—
a good voice, an expressive countenance, and
graceful action. His conception of the character
was admirable, and his powers enabled him fully
to carry out that conception. The dagger soliloquy
was given with great care. It was the thinking
aloud of a man who is inclined " to let I dare not
wait upon I would," and who would gladly seize
on some supernatural excuse for his own infirmity
of purpose. The banquet scene was given with
thrilling energy, and many a practised actor who has
taken upon himself to appear in this cha-
racter, might take a lesson in that scene
from the Macbeth of last evening. This scene
drew down thunders of applause. He was most
efficiently supported by the young lady who acted
Lady Macbeth, who, although at first evidently
labouring under some timidity, soon overcame that
feeling, and went through the part with great
dignity and pathos. Her manner of giv-
ing the words, " Out, daMned spot," in her
last scene, produced an electrical effect upon
the audience. At the conclusion of the play,
Macbeth and Lady Macbeth were both loudly
called for, and were greeted on their appearance
with the most enthusiastic cheering. Macduff and
Banquo were also excellently well sustained. The
witches—who were sufficiently grotesque—sang
the music in very good st) le. Between the play
and the after-piece a gentleman came forward to
explain the objects of the Society, the Committee
of which sit at Siaipson's hotel every Wednesday,
for the purpose of transacting the business of the
Society, and also to ballot for those who are de-
sirous of becoming members. The evening's
amusement concluded with the farce of High L'ife
below Stairs, in which the excellent acting of the
Duke aed Sir Harry, and Lady Bab aad Lady
Charlotte, succeeded in eliciting roats of la
ter from a crowded and fashionable audience.
This is a most meritorious beginning for
the Thespians, we hail it as a happy omen, and
most heat Lily wish them success in the praise-wwthy
exertions to affoid. an intellectual amusement to
their friends, and to estabbsh a school for actors of
the legitimate drama.

Mi. Sergeant Arabic, and the other municipal autho-
kt On the names of the Grand Jury being called
over it was discovered that J. I'. Leader, Esq., :M.P.,

did not answer to his name the Court directed that a
fine of 20/. should be inflicted on the Honourable Gen-
tleman.
The Grand Jury hissing been sworn, were addressed
by the Recorder, who stated he was happy to inform
them that the number of prisoners for trial was so tew
that it was not probable they would he detained beyond
the end of the week. But although the offences were
few in number, he regretted to have to state that sonic
of them were of a serious nature. There were two
cases of concealment of the births of children, and
two cases of cutting and maimincr, which were of this
character. There was also a case of perjury.
The Recorder having drawn the attention of the
Jury to these cases, dismissed them to their room, to
proceed with the execution of their duties.
The calendar contains the names of 118 prisoners
for trial.

KOUTHWARK ELECTION.—At a public
and most numerous Meeting of the Electra of the Borough
of Southwark, holden at the Mick Bull, Freeschool-street, St.
John's; on Thursday Evening, January 2, 1840, for the put pose
of adopting measures to secure the return of BENJAMIN-
WOOD, Esq., as one of the Representatives of this Borough
in Parliament, FRANCIS NASH, Esq., in the Chair,
The following Resolutions were unanimously adopted

let. " Tliat, at this important political crisis the 'Electors of
Southwark are imperatively called upon to put forth all their
energies in filling the vacancy in the Representation, by
choosing a Gentleman distinguished for his well-known ad-
vricacy, of Constitutional Reform, and firm support of an ex-
tension of the Civil and Religious Rights of the People."
2d: " That, in the opinion of this Meeting, Mr. Benjamin
Wood preeminently deserves the confidence and support of the
Electors o-f Southwark, and is peculiarly qualified to Represent
this Borough in Parliament, from his habits 'of business, his
long residence amongst, and intimate acquaintance with, the
local •interest of his l3rother Electors, his sterling and en-
lighteued political principles as a thorough practical Reformer,
and hi:, being the avowed enemy of Corruption and Abuse, the
zealous advocate of Religious Liberty, the unchanged friend of•
the Unrepresented Classes, by wishing to extend the Suffrage
to every Householder, the Benefactor of the Poor, by his
determined oppositipn to the present tyrannical and Oppressive
Corn-laws, and the unwearied Supporter of Progressive Re-
form and, the Rights and Privileges of the People.'

34. That, the recent attempt to secure the return of Mr.
Walter for ihe Borough of Southwark, by the purchase of the
votes and influence of Me4srs. .Anderson and Gillham, and the
use of threats to induce the Electors to vote against their con-
science, is a gross violation of the principles of the purity of
Election, and must be taken as indicating the means used by
the Tories to corrupt and intimidate the Electors of South-
wark ; and, as such, strongly calls upon all who value their
religious and political freedom to exert. themselves to resist such
base and profligate degradation."
.4th,. " That the thanks of the Electors of Southwark are
due, and-are hereby given to 'Mr. Charles Anderson and Mr.
George Gillham, for their open, .manly, and straightforward
conduct in expOsirig the unprincipled attempt of Mr. Walter
and his Agents to purchase their influence, in order to 91344'
Mr. Walter's Election for this Borough:"

Francis Nash, Esq., having vacated the Chair, the thanks od
the Meeting were unanimously voted to him for his able anf
impartial conduct.

TIM SUN, LONDON, MONDAY, JANUARY 6.1840

gentleman who ranks so high in the City as a great
capitalist, thoroughly acquainted, theoretically and
practically, with the subject of currency.

HERALD.—The state of the Money Market is
beginning to command a very considerable degree of
attention, in consequence of its becoming much more
easy than is usually the case at this season of the year,
as we have observed before. However, this has been
fully anticipated by parties who understood the working
of our mercantile and monetary institutions. This state
of things has, most unfortunately, given an undue value
to every speculative scheme that has lain dormant
whilst the Money Market was tight ; it has, in fact, re-
vived the mania tbr dealing in speculative schemes,
which mania had subsided while money could only ,
be obtained for the legitimate purposes of commerce,
at a high rate of interest. Where all this will end
it would be difficult to predict; but come the end
when it may, of course, the Bank of England
will come in for its full share of obloquy from every
class of free-traders and speculators. Day by day the
Bank Direction has been the subject of indiscriminate
abuse for adopting the course in which it still perse-
veres ; whilst, to crown all, the Manchester Chamber
of Commerce charges it with being almost the ruin of
the country through its monopoly ; forgetting, on the
one hand, how all the mercantile and monetary opera-
tions of the country have been for years, and still are,
fettered by the baneful influence of our currency sys-
tem ; whilst, on the other band, the commercial and
monetary transactions with the United States present
but a very poor appearance for the past year. Under
such circumstances the Bank Direction could not well
have adopted a better course; and it appears to have
obtained the approbation of practical parties, for cer-
tainly it has restrained much undue hazardous specu-
lation.

The easiness of the Money Market, and its action
upon the British Funds, appear to have given to the
Peninsular and Transatlantic Bonds a fresh title for
speculation, and to have authorised every fanatic who
has credit, or can raise the wind, to aid the jobbers in
forcing up these worthless bonds in the market.

The mania for gambling in Railway Shares increases
by the hour, and every project that exhibits the most
remote signs of vitality is now brought forward as a
‘• little-go," for the poverty-stricken and ruined specula-
tors who can no longer venture to job in the heavier
concerns. Thus, much misery is about to be created,
under a false impression that the Money Market will
remain unrelaxed long enough to convert the Railway
Share Market into a temporary Eldorado. Great West-
ern Railway Shares have advanced to 21 dis., Brighton
have advanced to 12 dis., and Blackwall are l dis.
Birmingham have advanced from 31. to 4/. per share,
being now quoted at 59 a GO prem. Croydon Trunk are
3/. 18s. 6d. dis. Manchester and Leeds are 9- prem.
North Midland arc 9 die., and York and North Midland
10 prem. Colonial Bank Shares are 7i a 8 prem.

lIITATION TEA.—Since the great advance
on TEA caused by the suspension of Trade with China,
we have discovered that the disgraceful practice of adultera-
tion has increased to an enormous extent. When we inform
the Public that many pretended cheap shops are selling what
they call Tea for less than genuine Tea can be lyaight at, it must
be obvious to all the unprincipled manner in which it is accom-
plished—how are these parties to sell at a loss and pay rent,
tare s; and twenty shillings in the pound, except by adultera-
tion?—how is it they also sell sugar at a loss? The answer is
obvious—by adulteration. Such being the case, we respectfully
invite the public to try our TEAS, trustino. 'by this time we
have established a confidence that, though not' quite so low in
price, they will be found to possess that eminent quality, purity.

WATERPROOF .AND WARM WINTER CtOTHING.
INALTER BERDOE, TAILOR, No. 69,
CORNNILL, was the first who introduced the
NEW VENTILATING WATERPROOF, which renders
garments (when properly made up) completely impervious to
rain, without offering any obstruction to the escape of perspira-
tion. Its complete success is now filly established, as is proved
by the most convincing testimonials, its extensive adoption,
and the numerous attempts subsequently made by others to ac-
complish the same end.
THE CODRINGTON DREADNOUGHTS are a New,
and mach approved Waterproof Garment, gentlemanly, port-
able, and convenient, are now in general .use, and the best
proof of their efficiency is the greatly increasing demand for
them, through the recommendation of those who have long
tried them.

W. Berdoe has now ready a large stock of all the most art.:.
proved materials for Warm Winter Clothing, and is convinced
that the process of the British Water-proofing Company is the
best. First-rate Ctothing of every description mado to order.
