L 0 V E is the leading feeling of the human
breast. Mere exalted than mere passion, it sears high above
every other impulse of nature, and is not only stronger than avarice,
but more engrossing even than ambition. No man Is exempt from
its influence, er can avoid its sway ; and business, pleasure, philo-
sophy, and divinity itself become neglected under the enthralling
power of LOTE, 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 at honourable mind?
It is the effect of conscience. The Lover, by enervation of early
habits, er 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 of important
ends. The wretched condition of such a being must subsequently be
beyond measure deplorable! Loving and beloved, he entails the
most miserable disappointment. 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
anali•yed happiness. The subject is interesting, and deserves the
attention of all. These desirous of investigating it will find the
fullest and most satisfactory information in the little work entitled

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 I In the book before as
such a monitor is to be found, calculated to warn and instruct the
erring, without impairing ono idea that can vitiate a mind not al-
ready tutored by the ♦ices 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 aro tempted from the rigid path of abstemiousness and
propriety. A father may trust it in the hands of his bo. By un
taught Innocence the book is not, of course, needed ; but wherever

SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS.
FROM THE MORNINE PAPERS or THIS DAT.
TIMES.—In the course of the last few days two
cases of a flagrant kind have been brought under the
notice of the Lord Mayor. The peculiar position of
the parties on whom the imposition was practised in
either case renders it the more odious. 'The pub-
licity given by the press to such attempts to screw
the hard-earned shilling from the industrious poor is
the surest guarantee against their recurrence. As
the two cases are in pari materid, we unite them in
single notice, and we trust that .our repetition of the
facts may fall into the hands of many who might
otherwise have fallen victims to such attempts upon
their credulity. On Saturday last a man named Wil-
liam George Flynn was brought before the Lord
Mayor to answer the charge of two brothers—
George and James Cargyll. Such of our readers as
are in the habit of studying the advertisements must
frequently have seen announcements headed—
" The Sea, the Sea ;"
" Midshipmen Wanted ;"
"To Parents and Guardians," &c., intimating " that
vessels of the larger class, commaned by captains who
would attend to the moral and nautical education of
the parties entrusted to their care, were in want of
apprentices." The ;manner in which this system is
worked, after the dupes have swallowed the bait, was
thus explained to the Lord Mayor :
" Mr. Pelham, who appeared gratuitously for the pro-
tection of the boys, stated, that for some time the news-
papers contained advertisements under the above heads,
and that numerous impositions had been practised by
persons who pretended to be authorised to engage ap-
prentices to be bound under the Merchant Seamen's
Act. Inquiries were to be made of certain parties, who,
it was found, employed a number of crimps to board
vessels in the docks and river and ascertain whether any
and what ships required apprentices, in accordance with
the number required by the 37th clause of the 7th and
Bth Victoria, chap. 112, which regulated the number
according to the tonnage. The next thing to be ascer-
tained was the amount of premium. That appeared to
be from 2/. to 201., and when the premium was obtained
from the friends of the poor lads who applied the outfit
was demanded, and, :after that demand was answered,
the business was so manoeuvred that the applicants were
left without ship and without redress of any kind."
The present appeared to he an ordinary instance of
the manner in which this system is carried out. The
two boys had been abandoned on the town to rob or
to starve after having satisfied the requisitions of the
advertiser. They were the sons of a poor widow at
Leeds, who had seen the advertisement in the Leeds
paper, in which great inducements were held out to
apprentices, and reference was given to Flynn. The
sum of six guineas was paid to this person to procure
the proposed situations, necessaries were supplied to
the boys, and they were sent up to London. Here
they remained a length of time. Nothing was done
for them, and finally they were thrown upon the
town in a state of extreme destitution, as we have just
mentioned. Flynn, when called upon for his defence,
stated that he had obtained situations for the lads,
but they were unable to profit by them on account of
the want of outfits. He hoped the Lord Mayor would
take his ignorance of the law into consideration, and
not proceed to extremities with him. The Lord
Mayor commented in terms of deserved severity
upon Flynn's conduct, but, with the consent of Mr.
Pelham, an offer from him of complete restitution was
accepted, and he was dismissed the Court, with an in-
timation that for the future he would remain under
the surveillance of the police. So much for " The
Sea, the Sea!" The next case is, if possible still
worse. On Tuesday Lieutenant Lean, R.N., the
London agent of Government emigration, appeared at
the justice-room at the Mansion-house, on the part of
the authorities of the Colonial Land and Emigration-
office, to represent the following facts :—A person,
whose name was not mentioned, had attempted to
entrap three poor men who wished to emigrate to
Australia, into the payment of a sum of money, on
the pretence that the company he represented—but
which, it is believed, has no existence—were Go-
vernment emigration agents. The points to which
we chiefly wish to draw the attention of the public,
and more especially of the poorer emigrating public,
will best appear from the following short statement of
Lieutenant Lean, and from the order made by the
Commissioners when the subject was brought under
their notice. Lieutenant Lean stated :
" The pretence that the self-constituted emigration
agent set up was the more mischievous, as he required
payment cinder the plea of procuring for his victims that
which, if applied for at the Government Colonial and
Emigration office in Park-street, Westminster, would
have been given without any charge at all. 'The three
poor men who accompanied him to the Mansion-house,
had, upon the representations of the persons complained
of, sold off all their goods and prepared themselves to
emigrate to Australia. They had, however. fortunately
called upon him and mentioned the extent of the trans-
action which had taken place, and he could arrive at no
other conclusion than that a most nefarious fraud was
meditated against them."
These poor men had sold off their furniture and
what little property they possessed in order to carry
out their laudable scheme of emigration. One of
them was to have paid the sum of 51. • another the
sum of 81. 10i.; and the third the sum Of ill., and he
was placed under a strict injunction of secrecy to the
self-constituted agent, in order that he might not be
charged 1/. more. When the matter was brought
under the notice of the Emigration Commissioners
they made the following order, to which we hope to
give additional publicity by our present notice :
" As it is stated that no money has yet been received
by —, the Commissioners are of opinion that it would
not be possible to take any legal proceedings against
them. Nevertheless, as the practice which they have
adopted might lead to fraud, and might expose poor

thing more is necessary in order that the parties
ufoldr
have knowledge of the plan pursued at the office
in Park-street, Westminster. We have often been
startled at the degree of ignorance prevailing amongst
the humbler classes of the community upon points
which are so familiar to men of business that anything
like imposition with regard to them seems almost un•
intelligible. Hence it is they become such fine raw
material for the operations of impostors of all kinds
and denominations. The attempt to stem the current
at all points is, we know, sufficiently hopeless. We
cannot all at once enlighten the gullibility of a nation,
or put sense and circumspection into the heads of
those who, from want of opportunity or of business
knowledge, are more especially prone to fall victims
to their own credulity. These two cases, however, of
the sailor boys and the emigrants, are of so serious
a kind, that we would willingly make exertion to give
them all publicity, in order to put future victims on
their guard, especially as the Lord Mayor on Tues-
day invoked the aid of' the press in their behalf.

CHRONICLE—The intelligence received from
Vienna, down to the hour at which we write, is
scanty, and not very intelligiblo. The attack which,
at the date of our last advises; was deemed to be
impending, has been forborne, and Jellachich re-
mains motionless, though occupying a position from
whence his artillery could, in a short apace of time,
lay a great part of the city in ashes. The Emperor's
military advisers are, it is said, straining every nerve
to concentrate upon the metropolis all the forces at
their disposal; and it is probable that the Ban has
refrained from inflicting on the town the horrors of a
bombardment, in the hope of eventually reducing it
to submission by a display of strength imposing
enough to render resistance desperate. The Hun-
garian army is said to be still hovering on the fron-
tier. No very satisfactory explanation is given for
its keeping at a distance from the scene of action ;
but, unless the disorganization of their forces be
much more complete than we have reason to believe,
it can hardly be supposed that the Magyar leaders
will throw up the game without striking at
least one vigorous blow for the relief of the be-
leaguered city. Should it, however, be forced
to submit (as submit it must in default of
assistance from without), there is still much
reason to fear that its surrender will prove no more
than an episode in a contest, the duration of which
may be long, as its issue is unquestionably doubtful.
In truth the civil warfare, of which the neighbour-
hood of Vienna has now become the theatre, is
fomented by causes the nature of which we but half
understand, and of the extent and operation of which
.we can form only a vague and inadequate idea.

than
one point within the dominions of the empire, and
sshich now blazes and roars around the metropolis
itself. Jealousies and mutual antipathies of blood
and race, which have, in bygone times, imparted a
deeper shade of ferocity to many an encounter on
many a battle field in Europe and Asia, are here the
first agents and promoting causes of the strife. Whilst

the war was still waged on the banks of the Thesis,
y
and over the illimitable steppes of Hungary, it was
but a struggle for ascendant between Magyar
and Slave. Yet even then it threatened to prove
both long and bloody. Within the dominions of the
Hungarian Crown, the Slave population is to the
Magyar as two to one; and the spirit and in-
telligence by which the former is animated, not
less than its numerical importance, render it highly
improbable that it will ever acquiesce in the humble
condition of a subject race. In no part, indeed, of
the vast tract (constituting no inconsiderable pros
portion of the European Continent), throughout
which the features and language of the Slave family
predominate, and which has been mapped out by
ardent Panslavists as the right "territory of their
meditated Slavonian Empire, the love of inde-
pendence or the ambitious longin for national great-
ness burn more strongly than tall` the Slovacks on
the north, and their Illyrian b; ien on the south
of Hungary. Both parties hat ...ge military re-
sources. Though not born i ;Wier, like the

rivalry, the
Croat is bred and trained in the stitotest habits of '
military discipline. A easant by day and a sentinel
by night, he handles alternately the musket and
spade the first, perhaps; more deftly than
the last—and breathes, from his cradle to his
grave, the atmosphere of a, camp. We might
p
therefore safely conjecture, that had Jellachich
been beaten at Stuhlweissenburg, his defeat would
have been very far from putting an. end te;the war.
Now that the scene of action has been removed from
Perth to Vienna, the struggle, without losing the
character we have assigned to it, has acquired another
colour, or rather a thousand colours, numerous as the
i
passions and interests which are alive and n dis-
cordant action at this, the heart of *0 empire... There
is the dislike which the German *entertains towards
the Magyar, and the deeper jealousy which he nou-
rishes towards the aspiring Slave—the sympathy of
the Viennese democrat with the Hungarian champion
of independence, and his fear and hatred of the able
and determined chieftain who has marched, as the
soldier of the Emperor, to strengthen the throne of
Ferdinand, and to crush the riotous anarchy and mad
license which has just dyed the cause of revolution
with its deepest stain by the murder of Latour. All
these stimulating causes are now, it is needless to say,
exasperated to the utmost by the burning fever-glow
of excitement which the violent overthrow of the old
Government left behind it, and which the long
agony of lawlessness and disorder that has fol-
lowed has not suffered to subside. The troops
themselves, as events have shown, have not escaped
the contagion. It was, in fact, hardly possible that
the subtle poison should fail to corrode the springs of
the great military machine when once brought
within the reach of its influence ; and there is but too
much reason to apprehend that when the regiments
are brought into action the men will take one side or
another, according as the blood which flows in their
veins is Czech or Austrian, Magyar, Polish, Saxon,
or Croation. Hitherto, indeed, the military discipline
for which the Austrian army is honourably distin-
guished, aided perhaps by the counter-irritation
produced in the minds of the soldiery by the brutal
murder of the Minister at-War, may have prevented
the demoralizing influence from operating to a fatal
extent ; but with every day that passes, until the
struggle shall have terminated, or shall have assumed
the aspect of regular warfare, the spirit of disaffection
will certainly work its way more and more widely.
At such a crisis it is, perhaps, satisfactory that
the majority of the mem composing the
regiments likely to be brought into action,
are disposed, by the circumstances of their
birth, to side with that party whose
war- cry ix the unity of the Empire and the majesty
of the Imperial Throne. Gallicia, and the chain of
provinces forming the military frontier, are the nur-
series of the Austrian army. Though the flower of
the cavalry is Hungarian, the bulk of the infantry
regiments is of Slave extraction. Our correspondent,
M. P. G., whose first letter we yesterday communi-
cated to our readers, has sketched, with a rapid and
masterly pencil, the characteristic features of the
various races which have hitherto lived side by side
under the shadow of the Imperial sceptre. The
picture is not calculated, perhaps, to encourage a
very sanguine hope of the reconstruction of the stately
edifice which seems at this moment to be crumbling
to the ground. We, for our part, do not despair of
seeing that reconstruction happily effected, though,
peradventure, on a basis somewhat different from that
which formed the foundation of the ancient Empire.
But, now that every savage passion has been un-
chained, and that the rival races have seen each
other's blood and their own flowing on a field of
battle, we fear that it may be long before the con-
flagration dies out, and longer still ere the fair and
spacious provinces of the Empire enjoy again that

THE CHOLERA.
THE METROPOLIS.—Two cases only were reported
yesterday to the General Board of Health. On
I.'uesday another convict on board the Justitia died—
making nine deaths in all since the commencementfof
the dist.ase. There were no deaths yesterday, but
several fresh attacks; and there is the utmost diffi-
culty in persuading the men to pay any attention to
the first attacks of the
.disease, many of them having
been labouring under diarrhwa for some days before
seeking medical advice. Nothing has yet been done
towards the removal of the convicts front the Justitia.
SUNDERLAND.—Another case of cholera was o re-
- F rt ed on Tuesday to the Customs by the medical
staff appointed to inquire into the character and
deaths on board of vessels in ..this port. The unfor-
tunate victim was Mr. J' Aster of the
brig Ann, of Lynn, a coil, Is for that
place. He was attacked morning,
and died about nine o'clot The body
was interred at midnight i lurchyard.
The vessel is now under a, the de-
ceased's clothes and beddif )nsumed.
EDINBURGH.—The cast purred in
Edinburgh since our last so far as
we can learn, as follow; ay; 2 on
Sunday; 4 on Monday; at In Leith
and Newhaven the epidem symptoms of
abatement; .but we have no •means of ascertaining

COUNT LATOUR.

---
The following biographical sketch of the late un-
fortunate Count Latour, appears in a Berlin paper :
" Lieutenant-General Count Theodore Latour, who
has been recently murdered at Vienna, in a manner
so barbarous, so inhuman, so contrary to all the feel-
ings of human nature, has been distinguished through
a long series of years as one of the most eminent
officers in the Austrian service. He was born on the
15th June, 1780, at Vienna, and was only son to the
Imperial Master-General of the Ordnance and Presi-
dent of the Council of War, Count Maximilian Baillet
de Latour, who died in 1806, who was owner of the
property called the County of Latour, situated in the
province of Luxembourg. This property was erected
into a fief or entail in 1719, but the family mansion
was destroyed during the French revolution, and the
property itself has passed into other hands. Edu-
cated at the Imperial Engineers' School, Theodore de
Latour there received all that instruction and acquired
that solid knowledge which was matured in after years,
and which, at his first commencing his military career,
caused him to be appointed on the Quartermaster
General's staff, in which duties he was enabled to
render valuable service. During the period that the
Austrian army was engaged in a constant succession
of campaigns Latour remained constantly on active
service, and by his zeal, merit,, and courage obtained
rapid promotion, se that, at the commencement of the
war of liberation, he had already obtained the rank
of colonel. In the month of January, 1814, he was
appointed chief of the staff to the Bth army corps of
the Confederation, then under the command of the
Crown Prince, now King of Wurtemburg. The able
dispositions adopted by Colonel Latour at the honour-
able and sanguinary affairs of Epinay, Brienne, Sens,
Montereau, and La Ferro, were publicly acknow-
ledged at the time, and obtained for him the repeated
thanks of the Prince commanding and the Allied
Sovereigns. The rank of general and many orders of
knighthood were amongst his recompences and
honourable testimonies. During the long peace
that . succeeded the campaigns of 1813, 1814,
and 1815, Count Latour was continually called
upon to take part in most important deliberations,
wherein he showed his aptitude for administra-
tion, and by bis cool and clear judgment was en-
abled to render great services to the Austrian Govern-
ment. During many years he filled the office of
Commissioner and President of the Military Board of
the Germanic Confederation with great credit to him-
self and advantage to that body. At a later period
he was appointed substitute for the General Director
of the Engineer Department (the Archduke John, at
present Administrator General at Frankfort), or, in
other Words, Chief of the Engineer Corps and
Juspector-General of Fortifications. The plans for
the fortification of Rastadt, &c., were matured and
principally carried into effect under his superintend
ence. Upon the abolition of the Aulic Council of
War at Vienna, Latour, who had long attained the
rank of Lieutenant-General was appointed Minister
of War and Chief of the 'War Department by 'the
present Emperor. In this most difficult and perilous
position he was enabled, by patience, firmness, and
long experience, to temper the storm by which he
was surrounded, and to accomplish what many
considered to be impracticable. His combi-
nations with Radetzky led to the fortunate
issue of the late campaigns in Lombardy, for he
united to the talent of conception that of carrying
into effect, and with this a wonderful faculty of
economising and producing resources. A man less
gifted with courage, indefatigable zeal, constancy
under difficulties, and readiness for extracting great
results from small means, would have yielded to the
pressure of events and the embarrassments by which
he was surrounded. Upright, unflinching, and de-
voted, he stood up to encounter, and for a long time, mastered, the tempest. He could have retired a
hundred times from an office which he never coveted,
but was withheld from so doing by his devotion to
the Emperor, by his disinterestedness, and by that
generous, rational patriotism which caused him to
stand to his post until death—a horrible, most foul,
and bloody death—terminated his generous services,
his long and most honourable career. A nobler head
never fell beneath murderers'!hands—a more accursed
crime never sullied the name of a civilized people,
or drew forth the tears and execrations of all
generous minds. To Latour's friends it is some
consolation to feel that death, when encountered as
he encountered his terrible fate, is no less honourable
than when met in the hot excitement of the battle-
field. A short time before the abominable catastrophe
which took place on the bridge of Pesth, Count Lem-
berg, the miserable victim of Hungarian atrocity,
waited on his friend and subsequent fellow martyr.
Then it was that Latour gave Lemberg his last in-
structions, with these prophetic words :—` Go and
prosper, with the aid of Divine Providence, for the
welfare and the peace of Austria and Hungary. We
may not meet again. We stand both upon the same
perilous eminence. Both are moved by the same
sentiments of attachment to our fatherland. Both
have only at heart the :general good. But we will
meet the combat with courage, and accomplish the
duties confided to us with honour, and without
flinching, albeit death be our reward.' Count Theo-
dore Latour has left a widow, daughter of Count
Borcier, and a daughter, a lady of great beauty and
accomplishments, married to General Count Drasko-
wich, and a son, an officer of promise, and captain in
a regiment of infantry, and who served as aide-de-
camp to Radetzky during the recent campaigns."

Fian.—Yesterday, shortly after one o'clock, a fire
broke out on the premises of Mr. Waterman, builder, in
Winsley-street, Oxford'-street. The premises are ex-
ceedingly spacious, being occupied by five parties,
chiefly as workshops. Adjoining one side is the Prin-
cess's Theatre, on the other the large range of manufac-
tories belonging to Messrs. Cottim and Hallen, engineers
and machinists.' At the period of the outbreak the
workmen were at dinner; but the alarm having been
given, some of them proceeded to the burning building,
into which they rushed for the purpose of saving their
tools, or any portion of the stock they could seize. At
this time an unfortunate occurrence took place in conse-
quence of other men going into the yard, and as those
above hurled the articles out of the windows, three of
those below were struck, and one so much hurt that he
was conveyed to the Middlesex Hospital. The assistance
of the engines and firemen being obtained, large bodies
of water were brought to bear, and the Princess's
Theatre and the premises of Messrs. Cottarn and Hallen
were saved. The cause of the fire is unknown.

Aa EDITOR PUZZLED.—The Liverpool newspapers
have bestowed the title of " The Liverpool Lind" upon
Miss Matilda Foote Hay, daughter of Mr. Hay, a pro-
fessional of some celebrity in the West of England. The
Liverpool Times thus expresses its admiration;—" The
exquisite expression and precision of this truly elegant
child produced at once astonishment and delight, the
beauty of her voice, the pathos and thrilling melody,
told with electrical effect upon the audience. But the
editor of the Liverpool Mercury is completely enchanted
and bewildered, and thus his " trembling accents run :"
.The general feeling of the audience was one of evident
gratification and surprise. For ourselves, all we can
say (albeit no way musical) is, that we went home and
dreamed we were on the banks of Allan Water, and
have tried, four or five times, to write a particular
article,-and cannot succeed, from certain buzzing sounds
still ringing in our ears ; and, in addition to that, there
is the remembrance of the sweet, pensive expression of
a face so beautiful that we would give the world to trace
its future-wager."
