MR. G. P. R. JAMES'S NEW NOVEL.
Just :eadv, in post Bvo.,
TH E nAfs AT ARMS;
Or, HENRI DE CERONS.
By G I'. R. JAMES, Esq.,
Author of " Darlile," "De L'Orme," " Ch—rles Trrell," &c.
Richard Bentley, New Burlington-street.

PUBLIC MONEY " A GUINEA A FOOT."
TO the COMMISSIONERS of the PRIVY
COUNCIL on NATIONAL EDUCATION—IN-
SFACTORS of SCHOOLS—MOTHERS of FAMILIES
—BOYS of a LARGER GROTH.

The undersign'd has inspected the SECTOR or compass of
proporticnal parts supplied to the children of the Navigation
and Grammar schools by those professing to teach Lit and fur-
olislfd from mathematical instument sellers—self-styled makers
of the "foot SECTOR RULER" in Ivory, Etc., as packed in the
isual show-agree'rr eases : ALIKE unto those on sale at all the
most eminent shops in the METROPOLIS—The undersign'd
perceives the necessity for a Rectification in its scale in order
that it '.nay retake its station in Science as the " Ready
Reckoner" of the Commercial Mathematician and stay to the
human intellect. His views, thereon, give occasion for these
rams rks on the SECTOR, so called, Now before the public : as
not being the ONE for nurneric.,l use. To THOSE unaccus-
to'.n'd to scrutinize " the line of Numbers" as being remark-
may with a pair of Dividers easily discover THAT the (L.)
lime for tenths length-wise in 10 Equal parts—The LC] ischord
elf 60o—the (T.) for co-plea Tangent in-cube 45° and
'th'_Equa-tell quarters of 90" in sign erect, of position for Az'-
zENITH—(S)—EQ'ante distance (under present assigcment)
are generally made, to conform to the eye : BUT malheureuse-
ment , the intersectional divisions of this spurious tool in voge,
for testing the multipliecation table work, by aid of the old rule
of three ratiocination, NEVER can harmonize with the laws of
Divine proportion as their a portage, are in shameful error and
not agreeing with the fundamental basis of Arithmetick know-
ledge. A true divided SECTOR in the hand of a youth
from the age of eight upwards is as entertaining in
:use, as it is instructive by precepts—giving him a firm
footing in progress, and a happy issue to all his under-
takings in Science. The undersign'd, therefore, offers
ONE GUINEA gratuity to any workman, as the maker, who
will, on or before the Ist day of October, 1840, transmit to
him a duly season'd Boxwood Sector [made of, and from a
trf a cut in " Woodfall-tide," as without Sap I, graduated to
twelve inches, bearing in mind that the most lasting wood is
" ox," for this purpose, should be in colour—a dead yellow
—like unro a half-burnt brick. The FOOT-RULE SECTOR.
now wanted for equation, must have thereon, the integreal
parts, and all the smaller intermediate division% perfect in their
:generation from, and their relation to, the Circle of 360.
Also on the outside edge, as formerly, a scale of a foot, divided
into 100 parts. The attestamental aver to the accuracy of
the said rule shall be the common MULTIPLICATION TABLE,
" as is s Note murehe upon note'tion," even as Nine times Nine.
The person who gains this prize shall not only have the re-
ward, but the advantage of a public acknowledgment of his
merit—besides a lasting patronage from all the well regulated
Seminaries for the Education of both Sexes.

Mr. SHAW took the opportunity to defend his
conduct.

Mr. PIGOT, the Solicitor-General for Ireland, in-
sisted on the necessity of holding sessions more fre-
quently in Dublin, and denied that he ioteaded to do
that indirectly which he could not do directly. The
amendments persisted in by the Lords were theu agreed
to by the Commons.
The amendments made by the Lords to the Loan
Societies Bill were ordered to be taken into considera-
tion on Monday.

Their Lordships' amendments to the Commerce
and Navigation Bill, to the Irish Population Bill, and
the Irish Church Temporalities Bill, were agreed to.
In reply to Mr. OSWALD, Mr. LABoUCHERE said
that he could not tell whither the Peninsular and
Oriental Steam Packet Company would be allowed let-
ters patent and limited responsibility. The Board of
Trade would investigate the question, and act accor-
ding to the minute it had puplished.

On the motion of Mr. W. ATTWOOD, returns of
the amount of the dues levied by the Trinity House on
vessels were ordered.
The Lords' amendments to the Ecclesiastical Duties
and Revenues Bill were ordered to be taken into con.
sideration this day.
The House adjourned at a Quarter past Six.

The reported interview between Lord PALMER-
STON and Prince LOUIS NAPOLEON, upon which
so much stress has been laid by the Courrier Fran-
cais, turns out to be a mere fiction—a figment of
the brain of our French Contemporary. Lord PAL-
MERSTON did not visit the Prince, neither was he
visited by him, either at Carlton-terrace or else-
where. No such meeting as that described by the
Courrier Francais was solicited by the Prince, or
contemplated by the Noble Foreign Secretary ; and
as we find the French Press so eager to impute un-
worthy motives to every supposed act of our Go-
vernment, we cannot, in justice to ourselves, with-
hold the information from them, that were we ac-
tually at war with France we would not have re-
course to any measure for setting aside the reigning
dynasty. Besides, is the French Press ignorant
that the madman Prince Louts NAPOLEON'S
hopes of ascending the French Throne is based on
his sympathies with the faction opposed to the alli-
ance with this country ? Was it not to take the
initiative in an energetic declaration of war against
England that lie made the insane attempt upon
Boulogne ? What are the recollections of the em-
pire but the deadly strife of two nations, now hap-
pily at peace ? These things are well known to
the people and the Government of England, how-
ever little they may be understood in France.
With respect to the conduct of Prince Louts
NAPOLEON, we can only, in charity, attribute it to
insanity. His scandalous abuse of the hospitality
of this country is only equalled by the perfidy
of seizing an occasion to invoke, in favour of his
accession to the French throne, the Bonapartist
hatred of England. But however much the
French people were inclined to pardon the mad-
ness of the attempt at Strasburg, the generosity of
the King of the FRENCH in sparing his life, and the
national sentiment which dictated to his Majesty
the entrusting his own son with the removal'of the
ashes of the Emperor from St. Helena to Paris,
will have greatly abstracted from the commiseration
entertained for the nephew of NAPOLEON in the
character of a rebel candidate for an Imperial
Crown. It is our conviction, however, that the
Prince is insane ; and we are of opinion that
the French Government will best consult its
interest and dignity, by confining him for life in
some lunatic asylum. To allow him to go again
at large would be the excess of folly ; and nothing
would be gained by shedding his blood. That he
bas forfeited his life no person will dispute, but the
ORLEANS dynasty will acquire more strength by
pardoning than by bringing such a madman to the
guillotine.
In conclusion, we take leave to assure the French
Press that the attempt of Prince Louis NAPO-
LEON upon Boulogne is not viewed with more de-
testation in France than in England. By no party
or faction in this country are the Prince's preten-
sions viewed with the shadow of partiality. That
he is a madman is the universal impression.

The Constitutionnel of Thursday announces
that both Austria and Prussia have ratified the
Quadruple Treaty for the settlement of the Eastern
question. There is, therefore, no longer a hope of
detaching Austria from England to counterbalance
the strength of the alliance opposed to the views
of France. Nevertheless the French Ministerial
Journal affects to find in the sudden pacification of
Syria a new element of strength on the part of
France. Had the insurrection proved successful,
the Constitutionnel admits that France would have
found her position an extremely false one, as she
could not assist the Pacha in re-conquering the
Syrians without falsifying the principle of her own
glorious Revolution—that a nation has a right to
choose its own Government. The Constitutionnel,
however, overlooks the important fact that the
submission of the Syrians is only conditional ; and
that by the very terms of their submission they ate
in reality not more the subjects of the Pacha than
they are the subjects of France or England. They
are to pay no more tribute than they choose ; they
are to retain their arms, and so be in a condition
at any moment to assert their independence ; and.
no troops are to be levied among them by the
Pacha or his Generals, to serve either in Egypt or
Syria. For the fulfilment of these stipulations,
which on the part of Mehemet Ali virtually
amount to an abnegation of the sovereignty of
Syria, the inhabitants further insist that the Re-
presentatives of two Foreign Powers shall be gua-
rantees—thus constituting them guardians of the
liberties of Syria. Where then is the ground for
French congratulation—or in what essential point
is the question modified, much less changed, by
the pacification of Syria ?
As it is in vain to hope that France, at the
eleventh hour, can be persuaded to reunite with
the Four Powers, and thus give the world the as-
surance of a lasting peace, we do not see in what
way she can more usefully or honourably employ
her influence than in persuading the VICEROY to
submit with a good grace to the decrees of an ab-
solute necessity. Hostilities on her part are out
of the question. The French nation must, on reflec-
tion, have too much good sense to go to war with
England, in or,ler to promote the dismemberment
Of the Turkish empire. Syria is the right arm of
Turkey, and were it lopped off, every remaining
limb would soon be appropriated by claimants, with
pretensions as valid as those of MEHEMET ALI.
The Pachalic of Bagdad, the Principality of Ser-
via, the Hospodariates of Wallachia and Moldavia,
and the Provinces of Roumelia and Anatolia,
would be soon discovered to be useless appendages
of the Turkish Empire, more properly belonging
to Egypt, Austria, Russia, and Greece. The prin-
ciple of rebellious appropriation set on foot by the
PACHA, and supported by France, would only
terminate with the complete absorption of Turkey
in the States by which she is surrounded.

We are much gratified to find that the French
Journals of Thursday are still more moderate in
their language than those of the preceding days.
The Constitutzonnel commences its extracts from the
London Papers with an article from The Sun, in
which moderation was recommended to the Press
generally, and we are well pleased to find that the
accredited organ of the French Government deems
our advice worthy of being followed, and has itself
set the example, by apologising for the previous
vehemence of our Parisian contemporaries. The
following extracts contain the little we find in the
shape of news in these_ Papers:—
A letter from Toulon, dated August 1, states that the
harbour is in continual movement. The three-decker
Le souverain, was ordered to complete her equipment.
The line of battle ships the Vile de Marseilles and the
Scipion were ordered to increase their force to the war es-
tablishment. Admiral Hugon was expected immediately
in Toulon. On his arrival he would hoist his flag on board
the Triton and sail for the Levant, Orders had arrived
from Paris for the steam-boat Tartare to sail for the Le-
vant with new instructions for the Admiral commanding
the fleet on that station. This packer-boat was to touch
at Tunis, and to direct Vice-Admiral Rosamel to sail for
the Levant with the three ships under his orders. When
those ships, together with the Triton and Scipion, should
have joined Admiral Lalande, he would have 14 sail of the
line under his orders.

THE CHAMBERS.-The Constitutionnel contradicts the
report that the Chambers were to be called together in
September, and st.tes that the time for as,emblnig they..
was not yet fixed.

In Pails the heat has become intense. On Thursday,
at two o'clock, the thermometer marked 90 degrees ul
Fahrenheit.

The Madrid papers of the 3011 ult. contain no news

The Journal des Pyrenees Orienlales of the Ist of
August, states, that the Spanish battalion formed by
Lieutenant General Casteiiane, now amounts to 600
men

The Portajcplio, of Malta, gives the following state-
m, nt from Constantinople :—" Persons who are will in-
formed or what is pa.sing affirm that the Porte talks of
peace while it intends war It only wants to gain time,
and the d ffererices are further from arrangement than
ever. In tact troops nre dispatched every day to Asia

are brought to the capital to maintain order, so that the re-
gular troops may be otherwise -mptoycd. Hinz Pacha

district of Pashkoo. Hussein has escaped into the moun-

It is said that the Court of Spain will shortly return to
Madrid, and that General Eipartero will accompany her
Majesty, and enter the capital two days before the Queen
It is added that the army will continue to be united.—El

THE " BEDCHAMBER" QUESTION.-The fol-
lowing letter from Professor P. Von Raumer. who has done
so much to illustrate the history of Queen Elizabeth, may not
be uninteresting to our readers :—" Tuesday, May 21, 183 g.
—Peel, it seems, ha- not been able to shake off t'e ultra
Tories, or to forget that the bow must not be bent too much.
It was surely enough for the Queen to leave him perfectly un-
res!rained in the formation of the Government; she was right
not to allow her teinale friends to be taken from her—not
to endure an act of oppres-ion which the meanest woman in
her kingdom would have struggled . gainst. Her firmness of
character will gain her many partisans, particularly among
the women, and, fur my own part, I am delighted to see a
Queen show that a monarch should not be a mers puppet, an
empty symbol, a political machine, to he wound up, set a.
going, and allowed to stand still again. according to the will of
another. There wis no sufficient political ground for a de.
wand that she should part with her female associates; it was
an ungentlematilike demand; and the Minister, who has a
majority in the two Houses, or knows how to acquire one,
need not be frightened by a handful of old women ; no, nor of
young girls either. The Queen, impelled by a quick feeling
of justice, rightly scouted these abstract party notions. God
speed her fart-er !" Von Raumer's Italy in 1839.

The Phare of Bayonne has news from Madrid
to the 30th, which represents that capital as being perfectly
quiet. " The latest news from Barcelona (says that Journal)
announces that the two Queens were to leave that city on the
4th inst., but that it was not known whether they would pro.
teed direct to Madrid, or visit the Navarre and Basque pro-
vinces on the= road.

HAYMARKET THEATRE.—After an engage-

uponid hundredsete
engage-
ment so successful that it has been renewed again and again,
Mr. Charles Kean last night took his leave of the public for
the season in his favourite character of Macbeth. He was re-
ceived with the loudest applause, and called for most enthusi-
astically at the fall of the curtain.
ANECDOTE OF SMUGGLING.—Another device
was planned by a Jew, nicknamed Buffy, who was, and possibly
is still, a very active agent in all these illicit transaclions. Some

the sands, and leisurely loaded his cart with what seemed lump.
of chalk, intended for burning into lime; he then laid pa'
few pieces of real chalk over the top, drove again past
the sentinel into the fields, where the cart was unloadee in a
twinkling, and the operation repeated, till every cask had been
conveyed to a place of safety. As no boat appeared in this
affair, and but one person attended the cart, there was nothing
in the least likely to attract attention, or to excise the suspicion
of the sentinel. The scheme accordingly succeeded so well,
that it might have escaped detection altogether, had not the
secret been entrusted to a woman. One of the Dover smugglers,
in the exultation of success, confided their stratagem to hi,
sweetheart, and the damsel in turn betrayed it to a more fa-
voured lover, who happened to be an officer in the Coast Block-
ade Service. This, of course, led to a discovery and seizure of
the next cargo, and two of the plastered tuhs were immediately
sent along the whole line of blockade, to put the offic, rs and
sentinels upon their guard against any repetition of the strata-
gem United Service Journal.
PRACTICAL LESSON ON THE METHOD OF
SAVING A PERSON FROM DROWNING.—Ina recent num-
ber we gave a copy of instructions to swimmers as to the mode
in which a drowning person ought to be a.?i,roached. A case
occurred on Sunday morning last, ei:,,rig a practical illustration
of their value. Mr. William 1,,a1t, an expert swimmer, who,
we understand, lately ce. n eted for a medal, awarded by the
Glasgow branch of **no :
-:l)ational Swimming Society," went
into the Frith t.:O bathe, near Kempoch Point, Gourock. His
companion reached the shore in safety • but Mr Galt, who
had gore farther out than he was aware of, on endeavouring to
!etr.rn, lost courage, and, finding himself going down, called
loudly for assistance. A number of gentlemen on shore wit-
nessed the
perilous condition in which he was placed, but seemed
li,ok upon any attempt to save him as rash and hopeless. Mr.
Mair, lace-merchant in Trongate, Glasgow, who had read and
wisely considered the instructions relerred to, stripped, dashed
into the water, and havingto the drowning man, brought
him out ' life,'
in
b':it so much exhausted that he had to be car-
ried home. ?Pt ~ Instructions we gave were, on this occasion,
followed to f"t ke
Mr.
caught hie ne letter.
Mau swam behind Mr. Galt,
'
him 0- .4 by the hair on the back part of the head, turned
tat oer onhis back in sueh a manner as the latter could not

forward to the land. The manly. prudent, and, we are happy
I to add, successful effort made by Air. Mair to save the life of a
with fellow-creature cannot be too highly •
appreciated. It is more
