The etrect on the funds to-`morrow would show that at

the is this argument to gentlemen on his own side of the
Howe, who had generally shown themselves anxious to

must be :undo in the cost of their government, and
where it was possible the colonists must be made more
responsible for the defence of the empire at large,
though that could only be done by giving them more
power in the management of their own affairs.—(Hear,
hear.) The old European system of colonisation, which
rested on a monopoly of markets, had been entirely
abandoned; but we had not yet arrived at the adoption
of the principle he had last named.—(Hear,
hear.) lie thanked the Committee fur the at-
tention with which he had been heard, and
expressed his belief that the votes would not be given
out of any desire to embarrass the Government. The
tax which the Government asked for was not necessary
fur the expenditure of the year only, but was applicable
to a deficit of two years. Everything had been thrown
over, except what was absolutely necessary, even the
proposed liquidation of the loan of last year. Nothing
was proposed, to be expanded but what was absolutely
necessary. ,Let the House assist this great nation to
stand firm in the midst of the convulsions which shook
European society, convinced that, if they set a good
example, the people would stand firm, and our insti-
tutions would remain a blessing and a benefit to pos-
terity, whatever changes might disturb other nations.
Mr. M.GREGOtt moved the adjournment of the de-
bate, amidst loud cries of "Divide," and much confusion.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said he
had hoped they should come to a division, but if many
Gentlemen wished to speak, he would not resist the ad.
jagirament.
Mr. COBDEN said they had been in Committee
nearly eight hours, without one hour being occupied by
the question before them, namely, whether the income.
tax should be renewed for one or three years. He
should certainly wish to have an opportunity of express..
ing his sentiments.—(Cries of " Go on.")
Dr. BOWRING was understood to support the ad-
journment.
After a scene of considerable confusion,

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said it
appeared to be the feeling of the House that the House
should resume, and go on again on Monday night.
The debate was then adjourned till Monday.
The House adjourned at Twenty minutes after On•
o'clock.

GLASGOW.

Official information has been received by the autho-
rities at Glasgow, to-day, that the colliers and miners
of the Glasgow, Airdrie, and Holytown districts
(amounting, it is said, to some 15,000 or 20,000 in
number) had struck work for higher wages. It was
also rumoured that they meditated a march upon
Glasgow.

FREEMASONS' TAVERN AND HOTEL.—A dinner
was held yesterday at this well known establishment, to
celebrate the opening of a new wing to the building,
which has recently been added by the enterprising pro-
prietor, Mr. Bacon. It has long been a subject of
annoyance to gentlemen attending the masonic lodges
that no hotel was attached to the tavern, thus obliging
them to seek elsewhere the bed and board which it would
have been desirable to obtain in or near the place of their
meeting. That advantage is now offered by the erection
of an hotel attached to the old building, so that every
convenience may now be obtained within the establish-
ment. The chair was taken by the Lord Mayer, who
was supported bytthe Sheriffs of London, Mr. Bond Cab-
bell, Mr. Pownall, Mr. Gould, and many other gen
tlemen connected either with the masonic lodges or
with the charitable institutions. The Lord Mayor
plimented Mr. Bacon on his enterprise, and paid a
tribute of respect to his character, wishing him every
success in his new undertaking. Mr. Bacon replied
briefly, but appropriately. About two hundred gentle-
men sat down to dinner. The musical arrangements
were under the direction of Mr. Hatton. The Misses
Pine, Miss Ransford, and O'Connor, with several well
known professional singers, contributed to the harmony
of the meeting. The proceedings did not terminate
until a late hour.

BEWDLEY.

The Bewdley Election domaitiee re-assembled at the
usual hour this morning; Mr. Wrightson in the chair.
Mr. ALEXANDER on the part of the unseated Member,
Mr. Ireland, opened the recriminating case against
Sir
Thomas Winnington, the defeated candidate, stating
that ho was in a position to prove bribery, treating, and
intimidation against Sir Thomas and his agent.
Several witnesses were called, whose evidence con-
firmed the statement of the Learned Counsel.
William Bennett, an elect( r of Bewdley, proved that
he got 5/. to go out of the way, and the party who paid
the money supplied him with a note of introduction to a
gentleman in London, who was to pay him 60/.
The Committee then adjourned till eleven o'clock on
Monday morning.

THAMES.-(THIS DAY.)

THtEhe Mr. Symons, the chief clerk, and
CmoniB-
magistrate,
ant SWORN IN AS SPECIAL CON-
STABLES.—This morning, at eleven o'clock, Mr. Ballan-
tine,Mr. Ellis, the chief usher, left the court and proceeded
to the Registered Coal-Whippers Office, King James's-
stairs, Shadwell, for the purpose of swearing in a num-
ber of the coal-whippers as special constables.
Mr. Ballantine received a letter from the Home Se-
cretary of State, directing him to swear in the coal-
whippers as special constables to the parish of St. Paul,
Shadwell; and Mr. Barker, the registrar of the society,
also received a letter, directing him to have the men in
attendance. It was considered advisable by the Corn•
mittee of the Registered Coal-whippers, to swear them
in at their office, instead of at the Thames Police -court,
and long before the time appointed the avenues leading
to the office, in Shadwell, were thronged with coal-whip-
pers, waiting to be sworn in.
Mr. Symons read the form of oath, and about 400
coal-whippers were sworn in to act as special constables,
in " batches" of 30 at a time. At the conclusion of
the ceremony Mr. Barber addressed them, and said he
hoped they were all true and loyal subjects, and that
when their services were required, they would come
forward and do their duty. The men immediately
answered by taking off their hats and cheering loudly.
Mr. Barber, now, my lads, three cheers for her Ma-
jesty. The men then gave three long and continued
hearty cheers, and quietly dispersed to their respective
gangs on board ship.

Mr. Duff, M.P., has paired off in favour of the
Government proposition on the income-tax with Mr.

AINSWORTH'S.

In the continuation of the corrected edition of the
editor's romance of " Crichton" there are the lyrical
poems of the sorcerer and the hag, which will be re-
membered by the readers of Harrison Ainsworth as
being characterized by so much spirit and enthu-
siasm. " The Sorcerer's Sabbath" is, perhaps, the
most remarkable instance of our novelist's powers as
a lyrist, reminding one of the poetic fragments which
adorn his celebrated romance of "Rookwood. A
brief, but entertaining, paper, entitled " Incidents in
the Early Life of Haydn," contains the following,
which will be read with interest:—

his cAirncuompsptoarntcuensi,tyfoar tb
ylascthan c
e presentedthe pirtisnecl
ef ofE improvinga
passionate amateur of music, was present at a concert,
which very opportunely commenced with one of llaydns
pieces. The delight of the Prince was unbounded, and
he immediately appointed the composer sub-director of
his own orchestra, and demanded who he was. Haydn,
in fear and trembling, advanced, when the Prince ex-
" Whatl is that the music of this little Moor?' (al-
luding to his complexion.) Then addressing him, added,
Go and dress yourself as my chapel master. You
must never appear again in my presence in the plight
you are now. You aro too little, and have a pitiful-
looking face. Get a new coat and high-heeled shoes,
that your stature may correspond with your mind.'
" Haydn was too happy at his appointment to feel
much chagrin at this equivocal style of compliment."
It is singular enough that in a brilliant article on
Music, in the current number of the Quarterly, pub-
lished simultaneously with Ainsworth, the same
anecdote of the great composer's piety in composition
is recorded, almost in the very same words, where
Haydn remarks—" When I was working at the
Creation I felt myself so penetrated with devotion,
that before I sat down to my piano I prayed confi-
dently to God for the talent to praise him worthily."
Like u true Catholic, as he was, Haydn used, ac-
cording to the Quarterly reviewer, to rise from his
instrument whenever his powers of invention seemed
to fail him, and tell over the beads of his rosary." "It
was a method," continues the reviewer, " which he
never found to fail." E. P. Rowsell writes a fan-
ciful chapter on " Waterloo-bridge;" and Thomas
Roscoe contributes an amusing story about " The
Merchant of Ferrara and his Clerk." " Another
Hour with the Old Masters" is a critical paper, from
the ingenious hand of Mrs. Acton Tindal.
Three other serials are continued, one by W. 11. G.,
Kingston, called "The Black Slaver;" another by Mr.
Hugt,es called " The Homesteads of Lower Brittany;"
and another by Mr. H. Hays, called "The Countess
de Rudolstadt. ' Besides these there are poetical
contributions by Emily Varndell, J. E. Carpenter,
and Caroline De Crespigny—the most pretentions of
which is that by the last-mentioned, entitled " The
Masque of Death," a ballad in flowing metre.

SAXE AL TENB URG.

ALTENBURG, SEPT. 26. Yesterday morning
orders were issued by our Government, from the
Minister of the Empire, to have its federal contin-
gent in marching order, as it was wanted elsewhere;
that in our duchy and in the principalities of Reuss
we should receive Saxon troops, who would b© sub-
sequently replaced by Austrians and Bavarians.
This measure, so little in accordance with the wishes
of the democrats of Altenburg, has given rise to the
following resolution by the Members of our National
Assembly
.

" The Minister of the Empire has commanded the
military occupation of the small duchies of Saxony
and the Principality of Reuss. In consequence of
this command the Assembly of the Duchy of Saxe
Altenburg, now sitting, "resolved unanimously to
send by two of its Members the following protest
to the German National Parliament. At the same
time the Diet has invited our Minister likewise to
send a protest to the Minister of the Empire, and to
inform the other Governments interested without
delay."

The following is the protest :
"high Assembly,—The Minister of the Empire
has decided that the Duchy of Saxe Altenburg and
the small: neighbouring states shall be occupied by
the military. We consider this an infringement on
the liberty and independence of our country. In re-
gard to the Danes, it is the fashion to sheath the
sword, whereas against the Separatist tendencies of
Prussia that sword has not only not been drawn, but it

THE METROPOLITAN.

" Swissiana" is penned pleasantly and discursively;
as are also " Marmaduke Hutton," " Clarendon," and
Mrs. Tinsly's tale of "The Storm and the Conflict."
The oddest and certainly the most entertaining of
all the contributions, however, is the story of " The
Man who Eloped with his own Wife." The conceit
is quaint enough to wile away a tedious evening, and
keep the reader's attention on the qui vine throughout.
Among the specimens of American poetry, many
will have to thank the editor for a scrap from the
noble oems of Longfellow —" The Occultation of
Orion.' But that Shelley had already depicted the
beautiful moon pacing through the skies "like a
dying lady," the following verses would be surpris-
ingly graceful :
" The moon was pallid, but not faint,
Yet beautiful as some fair saint,
Serenely moving on her way
In hours of trial and dismay.
As if she heard the voice of God,
Unharmed with naked feet she trod
Upon the hot and burning stars,
As on the glowing coals and bars
That were to prove her strength, and try
her holiness and her purity."
Other papers make up a goodly collection for
October, one of the most sensible being the " History
and Prospects of the Tea Trade."

THE _BELLE ASSEMBLEE.
Miss Camilla Toulmin, or, as we must now desig-
nate her, by her matrimonial title, Mrs. Newton
Crosland, flourishes in the editorial department of this

she is also industrious as a contributor; witness het

FRANKFORT.

The Minister of the Empire has ordered the mili-
tary occupation of the Duchies of Saxe and of the
Principality of Reuss. The Diet of Saxe Altemberg
has protested against the order.

The Augsburg Gazette announces that, according
to the orders of the Ministry of the Empire of Frank-
fort, a camp to be composed of five regiments of in-
fantry and two of cavalry, with three batteries of
artillery, is to be immediately formed in Bavaria, on
the frontier of Wurtemberg ; and that another camp
is being formed at Kreuanach, near Coblentz, at
which some of the troops have already arrived.
FRANKFORT, OCT. 1. The annual agricultural
feast of Wurtemburg took place at Cronstadt on the
28th September ; about 10,000 persons were present.
The King of the NETHERLANDS, the CROWN PRINCE,
and Prince FREDERICK were present at the distribu-
tion of the prizes. They are everywhere received
with the greatest enthusiasm. The Fribourg
journals state that 20,000 Imperial troops are stationed
in that city and its environs.

MORAVIA.

BONNER, SEPT. 20.—The Diet of Moravia has this
day adopted almost unanimously the following para-
graph of the Constitution :—" The noblesse is abo-
lished in Moravia, not only in regard to their privi-
leges, but likewise in regard to their titles, and that
for ever, and no:new noblesse can ever be created in
Moravia."

The state of Germany still continues the same. It
is impossible to foresee when it will regain that tran-
quillity and security which it formerly enjoyed. The
most wealthy faMilies quit the country for the pur-
pose of fixing their residence in those places which
have escaped the feverish agitation of the epoch.

BADEN.

The insurgents of Baden, who seemed completely
crushed, made another attempt on the 28th ult., when
some hundreds of partisans assembled in the environs
of Hunninguen, passed the Rhine, and attacked
Leopoldshoche. They were, however, driven away
by the custom-house officers and armed peasantry.
If the correspondents of the German journals can be
believed, the troops display great irritation, and even
shoot any one they suppose to be a leader in the
movement the moment they arrest him. On the 27th
ult. they, according to the Friburg Gazette, shot five
in this manner.

THE NORTHERN STATES,

AUSTRIA.

Letters from Vienna of the 28th state that on the
previous evening there was a democratic movement in
the Faubourg of Schottenfeld. The National Guard
appeared, and the people threw stones and fired on
them from the windows. Some were killed and
several badly wounded.

The Commission of the Constitution, which termi-
nated on the 26th, were to repair on the following
day to Schonnbr'in to submit its project to the Ex-
PEROR.

VIENNA, SEPT. W.—The official journal of the
Hungarian Ministry contains in its supplement
several letters. In one of these JELLACHICR de •
mands a sum of money for the purpose of keeping
alive the spirit of his troops. Other letters give
an account of the defection of a portion of the Hun-
garian troops, and of the mode of life of the Croatia
soldiers. The officers appear to be very sensible
that they stand on dangerous ground.
Yesterday the Hungarian Minister, BiTIITANT,
arrived here for the purpose of having another
conference with our Court. Several members of
the Hungarian Diet appear determined to hold out
to the uttermost. It appears from the latest ac-
counts that JELLACHICU continues to progress
without opposition, and is on the point of crossing
the Danube, for the purpose of attacking Pesth.

REVIEW OF THE WORK,

La'Mert fin the Infirmities of Touth and Maturity.—" There are
scenes in the drama of life which are acted with no spectator but
Conscience ; and of these the result is ever disastrous. Happy the
mortal who meets with a timely mentor to snatch him from the gulf
into which such scenes must plunge him ! In the book before ci
such a monitor is to be found, calculated to warn and instruct the
erring, without impairing ene idea that can vitiate a mind not al-
ready tutored by the vices of which it treats. It is written in a style
of masterly precision and lucidity, blending the profoundest truths of
philosophy and physics with the loftiest precepts of morality. It is a
production calculated to confer a vital benefit, physically and morally,
upon all who are tempted from the rigid path of abstemiousness and
in
propriety. A father may trust it the hands of his boy. By un
taught innocence the book is not, of course, needed ; but wherever
laxity has prevailed, the tender yet awful voice breathing in these
pages is likely to prove as strikingly beneficial as the. admonitions of
a homily blended with the practical advice of a writer on medicine."

A It I A G E.
One half the world are desolately single, and the ether
supposing them married, questionably contented. Diflidence, or a
sense of right determine the former, and miscalculated hopes em-
sitter the latter. The solitary one may shield himself under the plea
3f caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret an-
;omprosiag harry; but the truth lies deeper. Physical incapacity,
end broken health, are the great hindrances to domestic happiness
end social content. The dowry should net be the only marriage set-
tlement. Honour and justice demand that health should forma an item
in the compact; it alone dignifies the alliance. Blighted hopes is:
neglect wound more sorely than poverty or misfortune. Reader, if

SICILY.

Whatever may be the result of the mediation, the
Sicilians have determined that they will never again
become the subjects of the Bourbon, and that they
will fight as long as a single Neapolitan soldier re-
mains on the island. The Neapolitan troops have
abandoned Melazzo, and fallen back upon Messina.
Advices have been received from Palermo to the
15th of September. The Parliament has ordered
that Palermo shall be provisioned for fifty days ; that
the civil and military authorities of Messina shall
present themselves at a certain place to be hereafter
appointed, and shall remain there until the enemy
shall be expelled from the town, and that whoever
disobeys this order shall be considered as dismissed;
that whoever shall hold any correspondence with the
enemy, or with the Bourbon authorities of Messina,
shall be considered as a traitor and punished with
death.

On the 13th three detachments of Neapolitan
troops approached Palermo and attempted an attack.
They were, however, soon defeated and put to flight,
with a loss of 700 prisoners.

A column has been erected in the midst of the city
with this inscription—" It will be said hereafter, here
stood Palermo."

During the sitting of the 15th ult. the Members of
the Sicilian Parliament took a solemn oath never to
make any pact with the enemies of the independence
and liberty of Sicily.

It has also been determined to pawn the plate and
jewels of the churches, convents, and corporations, to
raise money to defend the island against the Neapo-
litan invasion.

PRINCESS'S THEATRE.

Miss Julia Harland, a new aspirant for histrionic
and lyrical honours, made her first appearance before
a metropolitan audience at this theatre last evening.
'lids young lady is a pupil of Mr. Allen, and she pos-
sesses many natural advantages for success in the
career which she has chosen. Her features are
pleasing and expressive, and her figure is very fine.
Her voice is a soprano of much sweetness, but rather
thin in quality. She was suffering dreadfully from
nervousness, which in the first act prevented her from
doing justice to her powers. She acquired confidence,
however, as she proceeded, and the remainder of the
opera was very finely given. She exhibited great
power and intensity in the scene in which she signs
the contract, and in the mad scene she was really
great. She was loudly applauded throughout, and
was called for at the conclusion of the opera. Allen
was the Edgardo, and sung the music in the most
finished style imaginable. The choruses were well
riven, and the orchestra, under the able direction of
Mr. Loder was everything that could be desired. The
house was well filled. The scenery was new and
very beautiful; the last scena by Mr. Henry Cuth-
bert was a chef d'auvre.

SAXE ALTENI3GRG.

ALTErnauRG, Yesterday morning
orders were issued by our Government, from the
Minister of the Empire, to have its federal contin-
gent in marching order, as it was wanted elsewhere;
that in our duchy and in the principalities of Reuss
we should receive Saxon troops, who would be sub-
sequently replaced by Austrians and Bavarians.
This measure, so little in accordance with the wishes
of the democrats of Altenburg, has given rise to the
following resolution by the Members of our National
Assembly :

" The Minister of the Empire has commanded the
military occupation of the small duchies of Saxony
and the Principality of Reuss. In consequence of
this command the Assembly of the Duchy of Saxe
Altenburg, now sitting, :resolved unanimously to
send by two of its Members the following protest
to the German National Parliament. At the same
time the Diet has invited our Minister likewise to
send a protest to the Minister of the Empire, and to
inform the other Governments interested without
delay."

The following is the protest :
" High Assembly,—The Minister of the Empire
has decided that the Duchy of Saxe Altenburg and
the small: neighbouring states shall be occupied by
the military. We consider this an infringement on
the liberty and independence of our country. In re.
gard to the Danes, it is the fashion to sheath the
sword, whereas against the Separatist tendencies of
Prussia that sword has not only not been drawn, but it I

SICILY.

Whatever may be the result of the mediation, the
Sicilians have determined that they will never again
become the subjects of the Bourbon, and that they
will fight as long as a single Neapolitan soldier re-
mains on the island. The Neapolitan troops have
abandoned Melazzo, and fallen back upon Messina.
Advices have been received from Palermo to the
lath of September. The Parliament has ordered
that Palermo shall be provisioned for fifty days ; that
the civil and military authorities of Messina shall
present themselves at a certain place to be hereafter
appointed, and shall remain there until the enemy
shall be expelled from the town, and that whoever
disobeys this order shall be considered as dismissed;
that whoever shall hold any correspondence with the
enemy, or with the Bourbon authorities of Messina,
shall be considered as a traitor and punished with
death.

On the 13th three detachments of Neapolitan
troops approached Palermo and attempted an attack.
They were, however, soon defeated and put to flight,
with a loss of 700 prisoners.
A column has been erected in the midst of the city
with this inscription—" It will be said hereafter, here
stood Palermo."

During the sitting of the 15th ult. the Members of
the Sicilian Parliament took a solemn oath never to
make any pact with the enemies of the independence
and liberty of Sicily.

It has also been determined to pawn the plate and
jewels of the churches, convents, and corporations, to
raise money to defend the island against the Neapo-
litan invasion.

WEST INDIA MAIL.
(BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.)
ACCIDENT TO SIR CHARLES GREY.
SOUTHAMPTON, THIS MORNING.
The Medway has arrived with the West India
mails.

She brings accounts of a severe accident which had
happened to Sir C. Grey, by a fall from a mule, which
it is supposed will terminate fatally.
She brings 900,000 dollars.

PREMATURE BIRTH. About half past eleven
o'clock this morning a poor woman, the wife of a painter
residing at 21, King-street, Drury-lane, ran into the
shop of Mr. Taylor, tobacconist, 4, Little Russell-street,
Covent-garden, and fell on the floor, when it proved she
was in labour. Policeman 133 F went instantly for Mr.
Wilson, surgeon, of Tavistock-street, who instantly
attended and delivered her of a fine female child, who,
with the mother, are doing well. Mr. and Mrs. Taylor
have allowed her to remain at their house until she will
be able to be removed. The husband of the poor woman
is out of employment, and with her had been endeavour-
ing to procure some necessaries at the time she was
taken ill.

DOLMAA'S.

One paper in the October number of Dolman
deserves our warmest commendation, we mean the
contribution respecting " Our Artillery." It is a
repository of very useful information upon a subject
of paramount importance. We cannot by any means
say that the editorial article on " The Wesleyan
Missions at Otaheite" is to our taste. Ridicule is
not argument; and travesty is the very antithesis of
the species of controversy, which is alone seemly
upon religious subjects. ." The Monk and the Little
Bird" is a rather feeble legend in hobbling verse. The
conclusion, however, of Mr. I'aley's criticisms upon Mr.
Soames' work on the Anglo-Saxon Church is a con-
tribution worthy of Dolman's Magazine, and, coupled
with the paper already referred to, renders the num-
ber commendable.

FINE ARTS.

REVERIE. Drawn and Engraved by G. R. Hall.
" The silver orb of Heaven, with waning light,
Beams with soft splendour on the silent night ;
And the fair maiden, musing 'neath its ray.
Forgets the festive scene and maskers gay."

The subject of this exquisite engraving—poeti-
cally indicated by the prefixed verses—has revealed
at once the graceful fancy and the artistic ability
of Mr. G. R. Hall. Although in his extreme youth,
the artist has given evidence of powers which
cannot fail ultimately to lead him to some eminence
in his profession. With a continuance of industry
and a proper cultivation of his'powers, we anticipate
a successful career to Mr. Hall, if only from the
elegance of his present production. The figure of
the young masker, blooming through the twilight,
is daintily conceived, and the hand of the engraver
has well expressed the thought of the draughtsman.
Nor is the theme itself unattractive—Reverie in the
midst of Revelry ! A thousand pensive recollections
and fascinating reflections are evoked by a glance at
the picture; the mind reverts instinctively to the
moonlit scene in the gardens of Portia, where Jessica
muses over her elopement from the Venetian home
of Shylock. The impression before us is in every
respect beautiful.

STATE OF TRADE.

MANCHESTER, OCT. 3.—Our market has exhibited
a drooping tendency today, in a large proportion of
yarns, and in many kinds of goods. The acceptance
of rather lower prices, as the preferable alternative
to that of any accumulation of stock, has, however,
led to some increase of operations in twist, and still
more in cloth. This may be taken as a pretty
accurate statement of the general course of bu-
siness ; taking into account the discrepancies
that are found between the reports of different
parties, according to the channels in which
they happen to move, and the greater or less facility
with which they yield to circumstances. The Ger-
man houses are giving out limited orders for yarns ;
and the Greek merchants are doing rather more than
they were. There is some purchasing in prints and
printing cloths, as well as certain other articles, for
the United States; and operations are still going on
for Gibraltar, particularly for printed calicoes. For
Bombay there has been a little inquiry ; the letters by
the present mail, however, did not come to hand until
this evening, after the close of business. The di-
rection which prices are manifestly taking produces
a more widely spread disposition to diminish the sup-
ply by a resort to short time. The continued de-
cline in the value of cotton tends, however, to pre-
vent the adoption of that measure.
ROCHDALE, OCT. 2.—There has been another good
market to-day, and a fair quantity of business trans-
acted, at last week's prices. The wool market has
been heavy, and the sales effected very limited.
There is no change in price to report.
HALIFAX, SEPT. 30.—A few job lots of fancy
goods have been purchased to-day for the American
market, at several shillings per piece below the cost at
which they could be manufactured, even at the pre-
sent low price of wool ; but, with this exception, there
was scarcely any business transacted in the hall to-
day. In yarns and wools we can notice no alteration
since our last report.
LEEDS, OCT. 3.—Our cloth halls to-day have been
well attended, but owing to the trifling show of
suitable winter goods, the actual transactions proved
insignificant. This scanty supply of goods speaks.
in favour of the general well-doing of our clothiers,
who have to work to orders, which at all times is
more remunerative than speculative productions.—

SELF-PRESERVATION,

_ _
Illustrated by forty coloured engravings on the anatomy, physiology,
and diseases of the reproductive organs ; with practical observa-
tions on the secret infirmities of youth and maturity, resultingfrom
solitary habits, excesses, or infection. • (1,:, • _
By SAMUEL LI'MEILT,M.D.,
Doctor of Medicine, Matriculated Metaher g(, the Unlversity of
Ediuburgh, Licentiate of Apothecaries' Mall,London, Honorary
Member of tho London Hospital Medical Society, &c.
This treatise is the result of a long course of study in a peculiar and
muck neglected branch of medical practice, and the author having ob-
tained the highest medical honours, is a guarantee for his profes-
sional experience, which has reference almost solely to the treat-
agent of these diseases.
London, England, 1848-10-05

L 0 V E is the leading feeling of the haman
breast. Moro exalted than mere passion, it soars high above
every ofher impulse of nature, and is not only stronger than avarice,
but more engrossing even than ambition. No man is exempt from
its influence, or can avoid its sway; and business, pleasure, philo-
sophy, and divinity itself become neglected under the enthralling
power of LOVE, which, unlike most things, increases in intensity
with time, until it receives the sacred consummation of marriage.
When union does not take place, however, this passion, this
fervour, this golden tide of the manliest feelings becomes a deadly
poison in the heart, which now darkens, as it before bright-
ened, all things upon earth. How is it that men, of most un-
changeable habits, will change at the very altar, and after a life-
time spent in the fulfilment of every engagement, snap the very con-
tract asunder which should be most binding to sus honourable mind ?

It is the effect of conscience. The Lover, by enervation of early
habits, •r the results of secret disease, knows himself to be
disqualified, and dares not enter a state which has been
instituted by Divine Law for the fulfilment •f important
ends. The wretched condition of such a being mast subsequently be
beysid measure deplorable Loving and beloved, he entails the
most miserable disappointments on the object of his choice, and upon
himself a desolation the most horrible, when the simple possession of
natural attributes would change the scene, and yield to both a life of
unalloyed happiness. The subject is interesting, and deserves the
attention of all. These desirous of investigating it will find the
fullest and most satisfactory informatien in the little work entitled

PART 11. treats of the consequences resulting from excessive indul-
gence, and their lamentable effects en the system, producing mental
and bodily weakness, nervous excitement, and generative incapacity.
It is illustrated by Three Explanatory Engravings.
PART 111. treats of the diseases resulting from infection, either in
the primary or secondary form, and contains explicit directions for
their treatment. The consequences of early neglect and of the abuse
of mercury, are also clearly pointed oat. This section is illastrated
by Seventeen Coloured Engravings.
PART IV. treats of the Prevention of Disease by a simple ap-
plication, by which the danger of infection is obviated. Its action
is simple but sure. It acts with the virus chemically, and destroys
its power on the system. This important part of the Work should
be read by every Yoang
