PunLxc OPINION.

The Times takes leave of Ministers in the following highly com-
plimentary terms :—" They have never been a Government of prin-
ciple. They have not conciliated the respect, or enjoyed the con-
fidtnce, of any party whatever among her Majesty's subjects.
Those who have supported them have dono so without enthusiasm
and without esteem ; merely as a pis aler, as a bad Governments
to be tolerated only for fear of a worse. They have been a des-
potic and a jobbing Government, without being Conservati‘re
they have been a Government given to change, without being lit'se-
ral or popular. They have apparently had no better reason for
acting with the movement party (when they did so) d'an
personal hatred and jealousy of the Conservatives; ai
rd
when they have acted with the Conservatives, it ha s
been without consistency, cordiality, or courage."—lt ;
a high joke in a Tory organ to sneer at the Whigs for having
" never been a Government of principle." What "principle"
have the Tories ever advocated, except the very accommodating one .
of self.interest ? As for the charge of the Whigs being ".a des-
potic Government," this taunt comes with peculiar propriety Nen.
a Jnurnat which only yesterday insisted on matters being carried
with a high hand int Ireland! And " jobbing" too! Truly the
Tories are every way entitled to accuse the Whigs of "jobbing,'"
considering their own notorious Dundas and Bathurst affair, whicle
was deemed too gross to be endured, even by an unreformed Par-
liament!
The Herald thus remarks on her Majesty's answer to the Ad-
dress of the House of Peers :—" There is a passage in the answer
of her Majesty to the address of the Peers, delivered last evening
by the Earl of Errol in the House of Lords, which appears to us
to be fraught with encourvging promise for the country. It be-
speaks, either in the royal bosom, (as the British public will als-
ways be anxious to believe,) a deep and responsive feeling of con-
currence in the wishes and opinions of the supreme tribunal of .the
empire expressly submitted by one of its most solemn acts to bet
Majesty's consideration; or, orr the part of those very advisers of
the Crown against whom that act was expressly levelled, a growing
conviction of the necessity for yielding," with whatever want of
grace or alacrity, to the power of the constitutional doctrine which
has been thus successfully invoked, and affirmed against them."
The Chronicle says :—" The attempt Of the Tory majority to
swamp all the public questions suggested by the Royal Speech in
the one question, who shall be Minister, is a disgraceful piece of
chicanery, enforced by the difficulties of their' position upon lit
honest minds. Lord Sandon says, " the g..eat question
wbr
the country had been called upon to try was Wet of confidence e"

truth is, the Tories have never thought of the people at all durime
their struggle for place, but having get a majority by their usual
clever electioneering tactics, aided by the Chandos Clause, they
are resolved to think only of themselves, and how they mho
best consolidate their power. They may possibly astonish the
people by their Liberal reforms; but the safest way is to 110Pe
nothing from them, but just to take care that they do as lit&
mischief as possible.
We quote the following from the Advertiser :—" Lord John
Russell made a masterly defence of the policy of the MelbOurne
Cabinet. His Lordship referred, with triumphant effect, to the
manner in which affairs have for the last few years been acinal-
nistered at home, abroad, and in the Colonies; and certainly,
had the legislative policy of the Whigs at all kept pace With
their administrative, they would not only have merited, but
maintained the perfect confidence of the country. But the thne
requires something more than a good executive : a good Mini-
nistration can never compensate for the evils of bad laws, and In
this was the failure of the Whigs. They refused to assist in
the further reform of the House of Commons, and, in return,
the House of Commons, last night declared its want of confi-
dence in them by a majority of 360 against 269. Thus at
-last the Whigs may be regarded as out of office—they have
long been out of power ; and before they need expect to resume
either they must set themselves steadily and sincerely to work on
reforming the representative system "
The Post observes of Sir Robert Peel's speech last night in the
House of Commons :—" The great speech of last night was that of
Sir Robert Peel. It had been looked for with anxiety, and the
expectations of the public will not be disappointed when they pe-
ruse it." We agree with our Contemporary, that " the expecta-
tions of the public will not be disappointed" by the Right Hon. Bs-.
ronet's speech, for they expected nothing from it, and they will find
just as much as they expected, and no more. Beyond a few vague
promises of doing his best, and so forth, for the country, not a word
does the proximate Premier let fall on which the people may ground
a confident hope that their destiny will be ameliorated. This speech
is of a " great-ery-and-little.wool" character, meant to tickle the
ears of all parties, and to convince the understandings of none but
those wao have a direct personal interest in being convinced.

IVIONEY—TRADE—COIVIVIERCE.
The amount of steam and water-power in the borough of Stock-
port, at the present moment, is nearly 4,000 horses. It contains
about 12,000 houses, and the amount paid fcr common provisions
by the inhabitants is now above 2,0001. per week more than in
1835.
At Manchester the market for yarns continues much depressed.
The cloth department is equally wretched.
The Half-yearly Meeting of the Proprietors of the Great Western
Railway was held on Thursday last at Bristol. The report stated that
the receipts for the past half year amounted to 187,7801. 16s. 2d.,
and the Directors recommended a dividend of three per cent. to be
declared from the profits realized almost exclusively in the pasilialf-
year. The receipts, within two months from the opening of the line,
had produced for four successive weeks, an average of 14,8441. 11s.
per week.

The prisoner and the deceased had had some words about some

and four o'clock in the morning the landlord of the house was
awakened by hearing the deceased on the stairs seresuning in
Italian, " I'm burn'd, I'm burn'd, I'm a dead man." On running
to the door they saw the prisoner rushing down stairs fully dressed,
except his hat. They found the deceased naked on the stairs, most
dreadfully scalded in the neck, face,: back, and belly, with what ap-
peared to be a fat kind of gruel. From a dying declaration moandeer

This Company, established by Act of Parliament, affords the
most perfect security, from an ample capital, and only re-
quires, when an Insurance is for the whole period of life one
half of the very moderate Premiums to be paid for the first fiv
years after the date of the Policy, the other half may remaine
subject to the payment of interest at 5 per cent. annually, to be
deducted at death, or may previously be paid off at convenience.
It obviously becomes easy for a person of very moderate
income to secure, by this arrangement, a provision for his
family ; and should he at any time after effecting the insurance
succeed to, or acquire, a fortune, he may relinquish his policy,
having only paid one half the premiums for the first five years,
instead of the whole, as in all other Companies.
Thus a man of 25 years old may, by an annual payment of
28/. 16s. 3d. for the first five years, and afterwards
the full premium, 57t. I2s. 6d. yearly, secure to his widow
and children at his death payment of no less than 3,000/., sub-
ject only to the deduction of 144/. Is. 3d., being the amount
of premium unpaid.
On the Ist of July, the Board of Directors added 2 per Cent.
per Annum as a Bonus to those assured upon the participating
plan from the dates of their policies, thus appropriating 0/.
a-year as an addition to every policy for 1,000/. The follow-
' Table will show the amount of the bonus on policies since the
commencement of the Company in March. 1534:—

I‘+eses.., This Company holds out, in various other respects, great
inducements to the public. When twit facilities are afforded,
i it is clearly a moral duty in every parent who is not possessed
of a fortune, but of an income, however moderate, to insure
his life for a sum which may yield a comfortable provision for
4 his family.

IMPORTANT DISCOVERY, AND BENEFIT TO

MANKIND.
HUMPHREY'S CAMOMILE PILLS.
A Preparation of unparalleled success, from this inesti-
mable plant, recently discovered by Mr. Humphrey. It puri-
fies and cleanses the blood, strengthens the stomach, invigo-
rates the constitution, affords certain and speedy relief to
flatulency, loss of appetite, drowsiness, giddiness, nausea,
heartburn; and in all cases of indigestion, headache, stomachic,
bilions, or nervous affections is unrivalled. Its preparation is
personally superintended by Mr. Humphrey, and its immense
sale in the locality of his residence is the best proof of its
efficacy. A scientific and laborious research for the benefit
of a pi ivate patient and valued fr'end led to its discovery ; its
wonderful properties induced
.the Proprietor to extend its salo
for the benefit of the afflicted.
Without descending to the quackery of saying it. is a cure
for all disorders, yet the virtues of the camomile arc so skil-
fnlly extracted and combined with other invaluable medica-
ments, as to render it the most perfect remedy discovered for
the above disorders.
IiNF Observe the genuine have the Proprietor's name writ-
ten on the Government stamp in his own handwriting. The
public may depend upon getting' the medicine genuine from
the u ual Wholesale Patent Medicine Warehouses, and from
the following appointed Agents:—

-LkS Manhood approaches, the human form, coun-
tenance, voice, and the whole intellectual character, ra-
pidly undergo a revolution. Love is the end and sum of life, creating
image after image of ideal perfection. But in the present state of
society, pure and virtuous enjoyment is often postponed and ob-
structed, till the excess of youthful impetuosity impels to a course
of wild and injurious indulgence, and the mind becomes painfully
harassed by alternations of fears, disgust, and passion. In this state
relief is perhaps sought from the inexperienced, perhaps from the
ignorant ; in either case at the expense of heal:II that being only

Surgeon. Illustrated with Cases.
This little work is not only distinguished but contra-distin-
guished from all others which have preceded it., its pages being
exclusively devoted to the curative department, anti hence it
may be justly hailed as a great national desideratum. , It con-
tains above one hundred choice recipes, adapted to various
stages of the complaint, which is divided into three distinct
heads and progressive stages of treatment, viz.:-Ist, The
cleansing, or detergent ; 2dly, The strengthening, or tonic ;
and lastly, The alterative, or. purifying. Into these three grand
divisions, theory suggested, and long experience has demon-
strated, the curative plan ought and must be divided.
The treatment of this disease has, for obvious reasons, been
hitherto confined to some cordial balm, occult tincture, or talis-
manic drops, which act merely as a dram—a temporary stimu-
lus, procured at the expense of the patient's future welfare.
The invalid suffering under mental depression and decay,
impotence, and a host of peculiar and inveterate infirmities,
comprehended under nervous debility, will find this Pocket

This Work, a Seventh Edition of which is now presented to
the public, ten thousand copies have been exhausted since its
first appearance, has been very much improved and enlarged
by the addition of a more extended and clear detail of general
principles, as also by the insertion of several new and highly in-
teresting cases. The book, as has been already stated, is the
result of very ample and daily increasing experience in a data
of diseases, which, for some unaccountable reason, have been
either altoecther overloeked, or treated almost with indiffer-
ence, by the ordinary medical practitioner. The proverbial
aid well known rapacity of unqualified practitioners, who
traffic on the health and credulity of patients, has been en-
couraged and aroused by this supineness, on the part of the
regular surgeon. In order to obviate the pernicious effects
sure to result from the practices of such pretenders, the
authors have fur a considerable time devoted themselves ex-
clusively to a certain class of diseases ; of the necessity of so
doing, they were further convinced by feeling that. tact i n in-
vestigating the latent sources of many diseases, which arise
from certain secret practices, can only be acquired by an ex-
elusive and undivided attention to this department of medical
I practice. The numberless instances daily occurring, whersin
affections of the lungs. putting on all the outer appearances of
consumption, which, however, when traced to their source,
are found to result from certain baneful practices, fully proves
that the principle of the division of labour, is nowhere more
applicable than in medical practice. We feel no hesitation in
saying that there is no member of society by whom the book
will not be found useful, whether such person hold the relation
of a Parent. a Preceptor, or a Clergyman.
The PARENT, who beholds his beloved child pining
away, and fast approaching to a premature grave, in conse-
quence of some disease, which, for want of careful investiga-
tion of its real cause, has been set down to the score of con-
sumption, will, on perusing this work, be astonished to find,
that in nine-tenths of the eases of young persons of both
sexes, who perish of what is called pulmonary consumption,
heart disease, tabcs, tee., the sole and exclusive origin has
been the indulgence in certain destructive habits practised by
youth rittich more frequently than it is at all suspected.
- The PRECEPTOR, also, who holds (temporarily at
least), the relation and responsibility of a parent, will,
lay perusing, this work, be directed and very much
assisted in investigating and detecting the too often con-
cealed practices so often introduced into schools, whereby the
health and ultimately the lives of his pupils are sure to be corn-
t promised, unless the evil be arrested in proper time. He will
1 here find a clue to guide him through the intricate mazes of
this moral labs rinth, and a standard whereby to judge, when
delicacy of health should appear to attack any of his young
charges, what the real causes of such attack may be, and thus
he will be enabled to check the evil in its incipient state.
The CLERGYMAN, in whom sacred character is at once
• concentrated the two-fold relation of parent and instructor, will
here be directed as to the nature of those habits to which
youth is addicted ; he will also be enabled to point out the dis-
astrous consequences which are sure o follow from them if not
relinquished.
