VESSELS.

Extract of a letter from Lloyd's agent at St. Übes,
dated the sth instant :

." Since my last we have had a!'succession of strong
gales from the S.W., but I have heard of no losses. The
stock of salt allotted to foreign vessels is reduced to 4,000
or 5,000 tons, and as several vessels are expected, it will
all be shipped off in a very few days, so that those who
may conic afterwards will get none ; therefore I request
you will publish this, to prevent any more coming, for,
if they go away again in ballast, they will have to pay
the port charges and tonnage duty?"

MONEY-TRADE-COMMERCE.

The number of paper mills throughout the kingdom
amounts to about 300 ; of these only 120 are in operation.
At Maidstone, where paper, is the staple manufacture,
only 23 vats out of 51 are used, and out of seven ma-
chines only one is at work.

The river Wandle, at :Mitcham, is not surpassed by
any river in the kingdom for its pure waters, which never
freeze, and are the best in the world for calico-printing.
111'11816 and 1817 there were 17 printworks on the stream,
employinz 1,200 persons ; now there are only six, and
no more than 300 persons. In 1820 there were 12 print-
works, employing 1,920 persons, whose wages amounted
to nearly 3,0001. a week ; now the wages do not average
more than 2501. per week.

COMMERCIAL REFORM.

A Reform dinner in the Potteries, to J. L. Ricardo,
Esq., M.P. for Stoke-upon-Trent, will take place to-
morrow, at Burslem. Extensive preparations are
making for the occasion, and a numerous party is ex-
pected to assemble. R. E. lieathcote, Esq., will take
the Chair.

It appeared from a statement made at a special meet-
ing of the business and district Committees of the Me-
tropolitan Anti-Corn-law Association, held on Monday
at the Society's Rooms, in the Strand, that the various
branches of the Association itself have effected great
things in the business of petitions and memorials. The
petitions praying for the repeal of the Corn-laws had ob-
tained 255 signatures in two days ; the Ladies' memorial
to her Majesty, 1,000 ; Christchurch, 33 petitions, with
801 signatures ; 22 memorials, with 260 signatures ;
Paddington, petitions, 760 signatures ; memorial, 20.
Lambeth, petition, 6,000 signatures ; Mitcham, petition,
450. The central office itself had issued 397 petitions,
89 of which had been returned with 10,844 signatures
attached ; 251 were now in course of signature.
PUBLIC IMPROVEMENTS.
- -

The Marquis of 'Westminster has opened a road from
the foot of Vauxhall-bridge to Knightsbridge, through
the fine streets and squares erected by Mr. Cubitt on the
Pimlico estate of the Noble Marquis.
At a meeting of the parishioners of Hammersmith,
held on Monday in the Broadway, on the subject of light-
ing the roads through that parish, it was moved that the
provisions of the General Lighting Act be adopted in
the district. A stormy opposition to this ensued, and
finally a poll under the Act was demanded, of which ten
days' notice must be given.

.a.GIULCULTITIZAZI.
The farmers in Kent complain of the bad prospect of
spring crops, the heavy rains having in many low lands
washed the seed out of the ground.

ECCLESIASTICAL.
The Bishop of London, a short time since, made a
speech to the Chapters of St. Paul's Cathedral, against
the wooden block pavement which the Chapters thought
of putting down round St. Paul's Churchyard. When
the Bishop had finished, the Rev. Sidney Smith replied
to him thus:—" After the speech with which your Lord-
ship has favoured us, I will only say, that I think there
will be no difficulty in putting down this wooden block
pavement fwe can only lay all our heads together."

LAW AND POLICE.
At' Romford, last Wednesday, William Sorrell, a
butcher, was fined 18s. for cruelly beating and ill-treating
two calves. One-would have thought Essex the last

county in England where Rich an offence would be corn
mitted.

At Marylebone Police Court, on Monday, John Light-
foot, a stoker on the Birmingham Railway, was fined
40s. under Lord Seymour's Act, for being drunk while
on duty.
Richard Light, a respectable looking man, was charged
with bigamy at Union-hall. Three marriage certificates
were produced, and it was stated that the prisoner had
three wives all living. Mr. Light stood crying at the
bar, and said he had made a full confession on promises
of forgivenness being held out to him. The Magistrate
remanded him for further evidence.

NEW ORDERS.

.....
Elix V. BELL.
The arguments insl
elusion. this case were brought to a con-

His HoNoun, after intimating his intention to deliver
judgment on Thursday, made the following observations
in reference to the Masters' Report in this case,
and Masters' Reports generally, as affected by
the new orders. When the Court directed an inquiry
before the Master, he Was required to find facts upon
which the Court might act ; and not merely to examine
witnesses and take depositions,. and then send them to the
Court to make such use of them as it could. If the evidence
were sent up to the Court without any precise finding,

it was impossible to say upon what ground the Court
should proceed. The 48th of the new orders was in-
tended to guard against cases of that description. He
had been informed that that order had been under-
stood by the asters as directing them merely to
state what affidavits were filed, what statements of facts
were carried on, and what witnesses were examined.
That was certainly not the intention of Lord Cottenham.
Before that order was framed the Masters might state
depositions and states of facts, and draw conclusions from
the evidence, and give the grounds of their judgment.
There was nothing whatever in the order which pre-
vented the Master from finding that certain evidence had
been laid before him, finding certain facts, and drawing
his conclusion, and stating the reasons upon which they
were founded. Having taken part in the suggestion of
that order he could confidently say that Lord Cotten-
ham's view was that the Court derived no benefit from
the Master finding depositions and affidavits, and that
what the Court wanted was the Master's con-
clusion, judging for itself whether that conclu-
sion was borne out by the evidence. The 48th
order, it directed the Master not to state depositions
or states of facts ; but it did not prohibit him from
stating wills or deeds. The reason of the distinction was,
that the. former were, while the latter were not, kept in
the Master's office. The order was framed with the great-
est care, so as to leave the Master at liberty to do every-
thing except find the affidavits and other matters recited.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.
( THIS DAY.)

Griffiths, an Irishman, about 50 years of age,
was charged with assaulting Elizabeth his wife. The
complainant stated that through the prisoner's ill-treat-
ment of her, she had been obliged to live apart from
him for several weeks past, but he having found out
where she lodged, called on her on Wednesday evening,
and prevailed upon her to live with him again. She ac-
cordingly was about getting some tea ready for him,
when, without the slightest prcvocation, he struck her se-
veral slaps with his open hand on the face, and then seizing
the fire-tongs, inflicted with all his strength a most dread-
ful blow on the left side of the head nearest the temple,
which felled her to the floor, and for a time completely
stunned her. On coming to herself, she found the blood
was streaming from her head, and the prisoner was stand.
ing beside her, sharpening a knife, and threatening he
would butcher her, and she fully believed that he would
have taken her life, or dreadfully mutilated her, but that
her cries brought one of the lodgers to her assistance, on
which the prisoner made his escape out of the house. He,
however, returned on the following morning, and sold off
all her furniture.

Thu lodger in question corroborated the complainant's
statement

Mr. LONG said the case was such a serious one, that he
should not dispose of it in a summary way, but should
send it to the sessions.

The prisoner was accordingly committed for want of bai

THE MARKETS.-(THIS DAY)

CORN EXCHANGE.

This week's supplies of Wheat and Barley have been
fah, and considerable of Oats from Ireland. The frost
continues very severe, with the probability of the naviga-
tion of the river being speedily closed. The buyers were
indisposed to purchase, and prices of all articles may be
considered nominally the same as on Monday last. Rather
more done this week in the Flour trade.
SMITHFIELD MARKET.
The supply was very short, with a brisk trade, and our
quotations were easily obtained. Beasts 284, Sheep 3 520,
Pigs 317, Calves 99. Beef 4s to 4s 10d, Mutton 3s 81
to 4s 81, Veal 4s 8d to ss, Pork 5s 4d to ss.
COLONIAL MARKET.

The public sales were limited, and privately the trans-
actions were limited; prices, however, underwent little
variaticn. The arrivals have increased during the last
two days.
TEA MARKET.

There was scarcely any business done in Tea, and prices
had still a downward tendency ; indeed the present state
of the markht it is difficult to give quotations.:
TALLOW MARKET.

The operations in Russian were on a small scale, but
holders were not disposed to accept lower rates, either for
parcels on the spot, or for delivery.

APPRENTICESHIP.

The addition of one or two years to the age at which
a candidate may be admitted for examination would
however be of little avail, unless another change were
made at the same time. We have pointed out that by
the Act of 1815 it is made necessarysthat an apothe-
cary should have served an apprenticeship. We under•
stand, from the evidence given before the AledicalCom-
inittee (page 21 of the " Reportion the Apothecaries,")
that Mr. Rose, who introduced the Bill into the House
of Commons, objected to this clause ; and that it was
in consequence struck out ; but that it was afterwards
inserted in the House of Lords (we believe on the sug-
gestion of one of the bench of Bishops). Dr. Bur-
rows, who gives this piece of secret history, says that
" the Association ofiGeneral Practitioners were anxious
for the apprenticeship clause, on account of the great
difficulty of getting apprentices ;' but what could have
passed in the mind of the Right Reverend Prelate
which led him to this notable piece of legislation, about
a year after Parliament had passed an Act abolishing
the necessity of apprenticeships in other cases, it is diffi-
cult to comprehend : nor is it less remarkable that
twenty-five years should been allowed to elapse without
any attempt having been made to repeal a clause so un-
just and mischievous.
We use these expressions not unadvisedly. The tendency
of the apprenticeship system is always to throw a great
impediment in the way of obtaining a good general edu-
cation ; and in a great number of instances to prevent it
altogether. The law requires five years' apprenticeship,
and the corporate bodies require three years of study in
a medical school, making eight years in all, If a young
nun is to obtain his licence (as he may now obtain it)
at the age of twenty-one, and serves the full term of
his apprenticeship in a village or town in which there
are no lectures and no hospital, he must be taken from
school and apprenticed at thirteen years of age. If the
law be evaded, as it sometimes is, by the master giving
up twp ears 2f the term of the apprenticeship, still

like all other elections in this country, must eventually
merge in politics ; in the competition of Whigs aril
Tories, Conservatives and Radicals. The best thinq:
that can be said of this scheme is, that it is utterly im-
practicable ; and with this impression on our minds,
it appears to us needless to follow it through its various
ramifications.

If the medical profession as a body possessed estates
and charities, or as individuals had some special
powers and privileges which required protection, it
would be reasonable to consider how far a system of
popular and representative government might be made
applicable to it. But no such occasion exists, and we
own that we are not sufficiently far-sighted to discover
what good reason there can be for introducing into it
such an element of agitation and discord.
We have already shown that what is wanted is sim-
ply this : that the medical profession should be rendered
as useful as possible to society, and that it should be
enabled to maintain for itself an honourable and respect-
able station in it ; and we are much mistaken if we
have not also shown that the machinery of the medical
corporations, such as they now arc, is not sufficient to
produce the desired result. That these corporations
should have no responsibility, except to themselves, is
an anomaly which ought not to be allowed any longer
to exist ; and we cannot conceive to whom they can so
properly be made responsible as to those from whom
their authority has ernantted, the Crown and the Le-
gislature. Nor would there be any difficulty in carrying
such a plan into effect, nor would any complicated ap-
paratus be necessary for the purpose.
Let us suppose that an Act of Parliament were passed
making some such alterations as we have already sug-
gested in the charters of the colleges, and in the Apo-
thecaries' Act of 1815, and any others which on fur-
ther consideration of the subject might be found to be
desirable ; and that the Government were authorised
to appoint certain persons who should form a Board of
Control, or, if they please to give them a gentler appel-
lation, a Board of Visitors, whose office it should be
to superintend the concerns of the different medial, in-
stitutions and we believe that under such an arrange-
ment all that is required might be accomplished.

E PATENT TUBULAR STOVE.
with either 1,2, 3, or 4 fronts of fire, for warming
Churches, Chapels, or Public Buildings, Halls, Warehouses,
Shops, Counting-houses, Libraries, Wine-cellars, &c., burning
Coke or Anthracite Coal at a very trifling cost, from 12 to 60
hours without feeding; and day and night, for any period, if
required. The quantity of pure warm air, at a mild summer
temperature, which, from the extent of radiating surface, is
lully equal to that supplied by three or four stoves of the ordi-
nary construction, is diffused so regularly throughout the build-
ing, as to obviate the necessity of burning or over-heating the
air, and rendering it noxious and unhealthy. The heat
may be regulated at pleasure. No sparks can escape, so that
accidents by fire are impossible.
To be seen in action daily, at the Patent Stove Depot, 58,
King William- street, London-bridge, and at Wright and Nash's,
253, Oxford-street ; where also may be had JOYCE'S PA-
TENT PORTABLE STOVES, either with or without pipes,
from 12s. each, upwards.
The demand for these useful and convenient stoves is daily
increasing in consequence of the variety of purposes for which
they are so peculiarly adapted. Schools, Halls, Passages, Shops,
Counting. houses, Bankers and Merchants' Strong-rooms, Clo-
sets, Harness Rooms, Carriage-houses, airing of damp rooms,
beds, &c., drying goods, new buildings, &c., feet warmers for
carriages, pews, gigs, &c. ; for hot and green-houses, conser-
vaturies, pits, and fumigating to destroy vermin, &c. They
may be moved from place to place, suspended from the top, or
plunged in the earth, burning 12, 18, or 24 hours without the
least attention. For chemists, &c., oilmen, perfumers, wine
asid beer merchants, wax or cement kettles free from danger of
boiling over, and keeping the cement in a proper state for use
for six or eight hours. All descriptions to be seen as above.

Humphrey, is quite as well qualified to loan millions, in
respect of previous advances made and therefore risk run,
as many of those people regularly practising in the loan
trade. The money for the loa,s is furnished, not by the
contractor, but by the credulous public, and there is no
reason, and indeed it happens not unfrequently, that the
contractor should hold a single bond. An ungreased new
bond in the hand of a contractor three months after an
issue of a loan would be quite a novelty.
The subject may be resumed, for it is one of public
interest to unfold and trace the windings of the loan-job-
bing system.

TIMES.—The accounts from India and China have
had a marked effect on the value of Government secu-
rities, end appear to have brought a class of purchasers
into the market who were kept out of stock by the threat-
ening aspect of affdrs in that quarter, aroi who never ex-
pected so 3peedy a termination of hostilities. The advance
y.•ii;ch took place was a steady one. and was well nutro-
t,:.:Ded up to the close of business.
The return of the quarter's revenue has provoked very
te observation here, and it could not be said to have any
ii,twnee on prices one way or the other.
The accounts from Manchester, which describe a very
decided improvement in trade, advert at the same time to
thy' difficulty of obtaining money, especially among houses
of the second class, as having much increased within these
few days. In this respect the pressure for money is likely
to have an unfortunate effect, and to prevent our reaping
the full advantage of the foreign demand which has arisen.

NATIONAL DEBT.

(From Tuesday's Gazette.)
The Lords Commissioners of her Majesty's Treasury
having certified to the Commissioners for the Reduction of
the National Debt, in pursuance of the Act 10,h Geo. IV.,
c. 27, s. 1, that the actual expenditure of the United King-
dom of Great Britain and Ireland exceeded the actual re.
venue thereof, tor ',he year ended the 10th day of October,
1840, by the sum of 1,560,640/ 103. Sid.
The Commissioners for the Reduction of the National
Debt hereby give notice, that no sum will be applied by
them on account of the Sinking Fund, under the provi-
sions of the said Act, between the 7th day of January, 1841,
and the sth day of April, 1841.

THE WEATHER.—TnE PARKS.—The frost
has considerably increased in severity, and if " Murphy's"
predictions are at all to be relied on, we are to have frost
until Monday week next, the 18th instant, with on Sun-
day, the 17th, " probably the lowest degree of winter
cold." At six o'clock on Tuesday evening the thermome-
ter stood at '2B degrees, and at twelve o'clock at night it
had fallen to 26 degrees, with the wind north. Wednesday
morning, at six o'clock, it bad fallen to '24 deg., but to-
wards twelve o'clock at noon, the wind having for a time
shifted to the south, accompanied by a thick fog. particu-
larly in the outskirts of the metropolis, it rose to 26 deg.
Soon afterwards, however, the wind shifted back to the
north-east, and commenced freezing most intensely, the
thermometer at six o'clock last evening having fallen as
low as 20 deg., 12 deg. below freezing point, with every
appearance of a most severe night. During Wednesday the
roads in the metropolis, owing to the intense frost which
succeeded the fall of snow on Tuesday, were most slip-
pery and dangerous, and numerous accidents occurred.
In the Parks and Kensington-gardens on Wednesday
nothing of any particular interest occurred.
Instances ;are recorded by Morgagni and de
then in the German‘ Ephemerides, and by Mr. Tkackreh,
of the blood which streamed down the extremity in vene-
section feeling cold to the patient and the practitioner.
One woman compared it to ice; and the sensation given
to Mr. Thackrah was the same as that of water at 68 deg.
In the Ephemerides the same is recorded of blood from the
nose. The stomach of a cod was found by Dr. Moseley
to be not only colder than the water from which it was
taken, and the rest of the fish, but painfully to benumb the
hand. Similar observations were made at Ne%found-
land, and arc quoted by Professor Rudlphi,—lllietsort's
Human Physiology.

In bringing before the public the result of another year's
labour, the Publishers feel confident that the New Edinburgh

tion it has hitherto enjoyed. The volume now contains a
greater portion of practically useful, instructive, and

sessing the same simplicity of arrangement and fucilties for im-
mediate reference. It is with no ordinary feelings of gratifi-

respectable and influential quarters, not only as a standard
authority on every subject of importance connected with Scot-
land. but even as a general register for England, Ireland, the
various European States, and the distant dependencies of the
British Empire. The professional man, the merchant, and the
public in general, may therefore confidently refer to it for such
information as is necessary to guide them in the affairs of life.

to induce the sufferer to make trial, Kings, Lords, and Com-
mons have used it. The Lords of the Treasury have sanctioned
its use. Their late Majesties, the Duchess of Kent, the most
eminent Oculists, Medical Practitioners—with that gigantic
balance, the Press—have eulogised Grimstone's celebrated

Sir,—l have been a sufferer for seven years, both eves being
so swollen as to cause blindness. Among the many Medical
Gentlemen who attended me was the famous oculist, Dr.
Alexander ; indeed, I de believe my case was beyond all their
skill. " Physic, Bleeding, Blistering, with a seten, of all
kinds of Lotions, but no relief," till chancing one day, being led
by your house in 39, Broad-street, Bloomsbury, my guide
inquired if I had tried your Eye-Snuff, on which I purchased
a Is. 3d. Canister, opened it in the shop—took some, and was
greatly relieved before I reached my home. I can with truth
assert, and make oath if required to do so, that it was your Eye-
Snuff cured me. Shal be happy to answer any inquiry.
I am, Sir, yours gratefully,
