REVISW OF THE 'WORK,

Lalfert en the Infirmities of Youth and Maturity.—" There are
scenes iv the drama of life which are acted with no spectator but
Coascienee ; and of these the result is ever disastrous. Happy the
mortal who meets with a timely mentor to snatch him from the gulf
iota which such scenes must plunge him ! In the book before us
such a monitor is to be found, calculated to warn and instruct the
erring, without impairing one idea that can vitiate a mind not al-
ready tutored be the vices of which it treats. It is written in a style
of masterly precision and lucidity, blending the profoundest trayth,smof
philosophy and physics with the loftiest prec .;its 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 encl.
propriety. A father may trust it in the hands of his boy. n
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 ou medicine."

AUSTRIA.

VIENNA, OCT. B.—" The Diet, by virtue of a reso-
lution passed yesterday, has prohibited the transport 2,
all military troops by railway. In order, however,
to render practicable the transmission of provisions to
the city, as the usual road is rendered impassable by
the damage done to the bridges, the Diet is induced,
for the attainment of the above specific object, to em-
power the railway directors to grant the transport of
provisions, and for this purpose to repair and make
passable the railway from Vienna.

RUSSIA.
FAO2II THE POLISH FRONTIEII..—The private cor-
respondent of the Voss Zeitung says :—" The incor-
rectness in the statement inserted in many of the
German newspapers, that by the new Polish political
code the property of political offenders is to go to
their relations, and not to the fiscars, as heretofore,
is unhappily of constant experience, inasmuch as
almost every week cases occur in which the property
of political offenders is confiscated by the fiscars.
Confiscations, indeed, are now again the order of the
day, and it seems as if they would never cease.
A new Imperial ukase commands that after the Ist
of January, 1849, the weights and measures used in
the empire are to be adopted throughout the kingdom
of Poland, both in public and private.
The Stadtholder has issued a command to all the
Government authorities, by which it is strictly enjoined
upon the possessors of estates, that they shall no
longer employ their peasants in the feudal service on
the mornings of Sundays and holidays.
The number of troops stationed in Poland is being
gradually decreased, and very large reductions are
to be gradually made.— Wiener Zetung, Oct. 8.

FRANCE.
[The following appeared in our Fourth Edition of
(
last night]:—
The Committee on Labour has examined M.
Peupin's proposition on apprenticeships. It has de-
cided that no child can be bound out to a master
before the age of twelve, in order to obtain some
education and religious notions. A provision has
been introduced to limit the number of apprentices
with each master, so as to render them proportionate
to the number of workmen employed; the object
being to ensure their receiving good instruction.
Finally, it has been decided that the duration of work
for apprentices can never exceed that of regular
workmen.
The Journal du Havre of yesterday states that the
detachment of National Guards of that place, who
were to have left yesterday for Southampton, took
alarm at the state of the weather, and have postponed
their intended excurEion. The Journal du Havre,
regrets this, as preparations had been made in South-
ampton to give the visitors a very cordial reception.
A Nantes journal states that there is a marked im-
provement in the trade of that town, particularly in
the tanneries, which is in one of its principal branches
of industry.

PIEDMON T.

Letters from Turin of the 2d instant state that the
Austrians still retained the materiel of war which the
Piedmontese had left at Peschiera, in violation of the
express stipulations of the armistice of the 9th
August. The Austrians made a similar charge
against the Piedmontese for not withdrawing their
troops and fleet from Venice, although they had them-
selves conveyed an open order to that effect
from King CHARLES ALBERT to the Sardinian Ad-
►viral ALBIN', and that they well knew that his
MAJESTY was most anxious for the return of those
troops. The Austrians also insisted on the evacua-
tion of Osopo, a small fortress of the province of
Udina, which was totally independent of Piedmont.
The Sardinian Cabinet vainly objected that it could
exercise no control over the garrison. Marshal
RADETZKY continued to make it a pretext for not
executing the clause of the armistice respecting
Peschiera.

WEST LONDON RAILWAY.
(THIS DAY.)
The half-yearly general meeting of the proprietors
and shareholders of this company took place to day,
at the London Tavern.
H. H. Grounds, Esq., the chairman of the com-
pany, took the chair at one o'clock, and the usual for-
malities having been grone through,
The SECRETARY read the report, from which it
appeared that the directors, although their efforts had
been unceasing, had not been successful in prevailing
upon the London and North-Western and Great
Western Railway Companies to carry into effect the
power they had obtained from Parliament, to alter
and enlarge the line, although both companies had
expressed their intention to carry them fully into
effect, but stated that they were prevented from doing
so in consequence of the present position of railway
property. From the statements of the receipts and
disbursements it appeared that the total receipts
amounted to 279,285/. 13s. 91, those of the last half-
year being 2,4171. 12s. ld. The total disbursements
277,8681. 3s. sid., and those of the last half-year
being 1,547/. 165., leaving a balance of cash in hand
amounting to 1,417/. 10s. 3id.
After some discussion, in the course of which the
SECRETARY stated that he felt convinced, from the
interviews he had had with Mr. Creed, Mr. Saunders,
and Mr. Parker, that both the London and North-
Western and the Great Western Companies were sin-
cere ; and after some observations from Mr. Gunter,
Mr. Campion, and Mr. Kirby, the report was adopted.
Thanks were voted and unanimously carried to the
chairman and directors, and the meeting separated.
London, England, 1848-09-07

RUSSIA.

The Independence Beige says:—" We have received,
via Germany, the confirmation of an important piece
of intelligence. It is to the effect that the Government
of Russia has really addressed to the Cabinet of London
a note, in which it declares that it recognizes Austria
as the sole and legitimate possessor of Lombardy. The
Russian Government consequently expresses a hope
that it cannot be the object of a mediation, if it is to
take place, to despoil Austria of her possession, and
that the result of the negotiations, on the contrary, will
be the preservation to that power, if not of the whole,
at all events the major portion of the territories
appertaining to it in Italy. The importance of this
note need not be insisted on. Austria finds in it a
support which cannot but render her more repugnant
to the idea of the Angle-Gallican intervention, or
which, if she accept the offered mediation, will induce
her to be very exacting in her terms."
London, England, 1848-09-07

HUNGARY.

The Alle;emeine Zeitang of the 21 instant publishes
the following :
" PESTII, Auc. 27.—T0-day's number of the Govern-
ment Gazette contains a royal decree to the Hungarian
Minister of War, to dissolve all the regiments gar-
risoned in Hungary which do not belong to the Hun-
garian Crown, as well as those who are stationed in
other parts of the Imperial dominions, with the ex-
ception of those regiments which are still opposed to the
enemy in Italy. Very gloomy reports are in circulation
in our city. Two couriers have just arrived, and bring
the intelligence that a fresh attack at the Roman en-
campment took place last week, but the enemy was
beaten off, with a loss on our side. It is reported that
Jellalich caused Vukovar in Sclavonia, on the Danube,
to be occupied.

ITALY.

PIEDMONT.

CHARLES ALBERT has declared that, unless he can
obtain peace on honourable terms, he will, at the
conclusion of the armistice, resume arms to conquer
the independence of Italy. He has also announced
his intention of taking a certain number of Swiss
troops into bis pay.
The Piedmontese Gazette, of the Ist of Septemter,
publishes an ordonnance, containing various regu-
lations with respect to the uniform, &c., of the troops,
and a circular, addressed to the commanders of
military divisions, inviting them to further the
KING's views, and to provide as promptly, and with
as little expense as possible, for the equipment of the
troops.

The Marquis RIDOLFI, who was dispatched from
Tuscany on a special mission to CHARLES ALBERT,
had recently a long private conference with the KING
at Allessandria, the subject being the interests of the
Peninsula. CHARLES ALBERT was favourably dis-
posed towards the political league, being evidently
anxious that the Neapolitan Government should be
included therein.

HESSE-DARMSTADT.

A serious disturbance broke out on the 31st ult. at
Giessen, between the students and the Burgher
Guard. It was provoked by the arrest of a drunken
student. The collegians, after having severely
wounded the Guard with stones, &c., and broke their
rattles, were repulsed at the point of the bayonet.
They afterwards raised a barricade, which was taken
by the citizens. TheS• were eventually dispersed,
but not before one of their number was mortally
wounded.

• The real object of my reply to Mr. Motley's former
communication was, to get an account of the income
and expenditure upon any length of average road in
England, upon which Sir James Anderson.may be
supposed to ply his steam carriage. These ire the
details which I consider necessary the public shcula....._
have, before they will be convinced there is any? _
chance of success. I need not say this hask not yet'
been given, notwithstanding the display in Egiiies.at -
the end ot Mr. .Alotiey'. coitimuiiieo4lll'for to
d .3w conclusions of the profits to arise from,*
of that supposed to accrue on the road from kW& Pink
to Hounslow, is far, very far, from being fikir.
know on this road the traffic is great, alit:inclines
very moderate, and the surface good. If Mr. Motley
wishes to make a good impression on the public mind,
let time deal with the subject as it is likely to exist,
by taking any length of road having reasonable traffic,
the average inclinations which are to be met with on
our main roads, and the imperfections of surface
which will be met with on this road show us in detal
the work the engine will have to perform with a giv n
load, the cost of performing it, not forgetting u•
and tear, and the income from passengers and oth
resources. Such a statement, if fairly made in ch
will convey to the public mind conviction of the
commercial success or failure of Sir Jams At der-
son's plans.

In conclusion, I would request Mr. Motley not to
rank me as an opponent to the introduction al stum
on common roads ; on the contrary, I am a vk arm
advocate of it, when wisely attempted; but I am not
an advocate for the introduction of plans that cannot
succeed, which I believe to be the case with Sir
James Anderson's, because every failure adds to the
difficulty of convincing the public that any plan for
introducing steam on common roads can succeed, so
great is the prejudice against it.—l have the honour
to be, Sir, your obedient servant,

similar to that pursued by the Roy. Mr. Burton in the
present instance were generally adopted, the grossest

THE METROPOLITAN.

An extremely sententious but sound and clever
essay on " The Fictitious and Popular Literature of
the Day," is contained in the number of the Metropolitan
for March, penned by a contributor who modestly con-
ceals his name under his initials." A Few Thoughts on
Wine" are decidedly thoughts of flavour—they might
impart a relish to a dish of walnuts, and a jug of
claret. " Clarendon" is the serial tale of the Metro •
politan, and is continued with spirit, though the
writer is occasionally given to a rather undue amount
of prolixity. " Marmaduke Hutton," in like manner,
affords an agreeable half-hour's reading, though we
are more than doubtful that the mind of the reader
during that half-hour would be rather entertained
than ripened.

THE MAN IN THE MOON.
Under the facetious editorship of Angus B. Reach
(Albert Smith having withdrawn from his literary
partnership in the undertaking) :The Man in the
Mon progresses ridiculously well. The adven-
tures of, Mr. Touchango Jones are pursued with a
grotesque pencil, by fline—so, at least, we imagine,
from the very laughable sketch of Bones, and the
exquisite fdenouement in which the hero becomes the
King of Quashybungo. As a Fancy Portrait, the
woddcut,of a red Indian, tatooed frightfully, with an
inkstand as a top-knot, two quill pens decorating his
ears, a tomahawk in his girdle, and a scho-
lastic bludgeon in his hand, Mr. Walter Savage
Landor is correct. One capital definition we
must give—it is the word "muff" "A muff is a
thing which holds a young lady's hand without
squeezing it." That is a Letter definition, we take
it, than could have been given by Johnson or Boyer.
" Mr. Chisholm Anstey's Dream" is the best thing in
the number. The third black sketch in it, is inimi-
table—a very calotype of the Foreign Secretary.

THE ECLECTIC REVIEW.

A spirited defence of the Dissenters from the charge
of ignorance commences the March number of the
Eclectic, though the defence is tempered with recom-
mendations as to the improvement of the literature sup-
ported by that portion of the Christian world in Eng-
land. A review of " Richardson's Travels in the
Sallara" is followed by an indifferent criticism on the
splendid work of the Republican statesman Lanartine
—" The history of the Girondists." In a foot-note
we observe that the eloquent and noble Christian, the
Count de Montalembert—le jeune homrne—is spoken
of as a bigotted Legitimist,:when only a few days back
that young orator gave in his adhesion to the Provi-
sional Government. These blunders, however, arising
from virulence of religious opinion, are amply com-
pensated by the generous and enlightened commen-
tary upon the Jewish Disabilities Bill, with which
the Eclectic concludes.

THAMES.-(THIS DAY.)

THE RIOTS IN THE METROINALIS.—Edward Smith,
a respectable looking youth, was charged - before Mr.
Ballantine with breaking the windows of Mr. Martin, a
tobacconist, in Whitechapel-road.
W. Glover, police-constable, stated that about seven
o'clock last night about 600 persons passed through
Whitechapel High-street, breaking the windows as they
passed. When they reached Whitechapel Church the
prisoner ran into the road and picked up some stones and
threw them towards the shop windows. Witness ran
after him and took him into custody, A cry was raised,
" Pelt the police," and a number of stones were thrown
at them. The prisoner cried out " Pelt them," and en-
deavoured to pick up some stones again. Witness suc-
ceeded with great difficulty in removing him to the
station-house.

The prisoner, in defence, said he never threw the
stones and did not belong to the mob.
Mr. BALLANTINE—The police only did their duty in
protecting the tradesmen's property, and he should fine
the prisoner 405., or in default be committed to gaol for
one month.

William Beadle, a boy about 16 years, was charged
with assaulting Police-constable Dean, while iu the exe-
cution of his duty.
Dealt stated that while the mob were crying out
" Pelt the police" he was suddenly knocked down by
several persons, and while he was down the prisoner
struck him. He called for assistance and succeeded in
securing him.
The prisoner denied striking the police, and said he
was a stranger in London.
Mr. BALLANTINE said a more disgraceful, reprehen-
sible, and mischevious offence had never come under his
notice as a magistrate. He committed the prisoner to
the House of Correction for one month.
Two others were bound over to keep the peace.

ELECTION COMMITTEES.
(THIS DAY.)
BEWDLEY.
The Bewdley Election Committee re-assembled at the
usual hour in the morning; Mr. Wrightson in the chair.
Further evidence of treating was gone into.

LINCOLN.
The City of Lincoln Election Committee re-assembled
this morning; Mr. M. J. O'Connell in the chair.
Thomas Ccxon, a publican at Lincoln, proved that at
the last election he got orders to supply the blues
(Seley's colours) with drink, for which his bill amounted
to 141. 4s. The order'was given by Mr. Woodhead, a
miller of Lincoln, who wanted witness to vote for Seeley,
but he voted for Sibthorp and Collins. The drink was
supplied principally to voters and their friends, and after
the election lie called upon Mr. Keeley, at Mr. Seeley's
mill in Lincoln, for the payment of the bill; but he was
told as he had not voted for Seeley, he might get the
money from those who ordered the drink. He then
applied to Woodhead for the amount, but he refused to
pay. The County Court, however, compelled him to
pay the money.

SIR,--In accordance with a resolution adopted at the
usual meeting of the City and Finsbury locality of the
National Charter Association, I transmit to you the
enclosed resolution, with an earnest request that you will
insert it in your highly valuable paper, and, although we
may differ on some points, yet I hope we shall not disagree
on the present occasion.—l am, Sir, &c.,
ALFRED FENNELL.

Mr. Cater moved, and Mr. E. Nobbs seconded, the
following resolution :
" That this meeting view with feelings of great indig-
nation the mean, slavish, and sickening display of sym-
pathy and homage for the ex-Royal Fugitives of France
by the English aristocracy, and request the people of
France will not consider that the English people approve
of such disgraceful sycophancy, since the working
classes here will treat them with that contempt they so
richly deserve."
Supported by Messrs. T. Salmon, Gover,
and Allnutt, and carried unanimously. messenger,

LE FOLLET.

Another number (the eighteenth) of Le Pullet, only
confirms us in the opinion we have already frequently
expressed, that it is wholly without a competitor.
The plates are beautifully engraved, sketched,
coloured, and printed, and are worthy of preservation
as delicate illustrations of the female costumes of
civilized life.

HOOD.

One of the ablest numbers of Hood that has ap-
peared for a considerable time—several of the con-
tributions being of superior excellence. As yet we
cannot exactly perceive how " The Times ; or, Mo-
dern Philosophy," can be called by the editor a novel.
A curiosity it unquestionably is, but beyond that
we are unable to speak until the narrative is more
developed. " The Treasure Seeker of Herculaneum,"
by Horace St. John, is a graceful imagination; and
the " Noetes Dramaticm," is a pleasant contribution
though one headed by rather a dangerous title, as one
instituting a formidable comparison with the ever
famous and delectable " Noctes Ambrosiante."
Among the other papers for March we must particu-
larise the continuation of the " Reminiscenses of a
Retired Surgeon," although that again is a theme
which in its name excites a perillous comparison
ith the memorable" Diary of a Late Physician." In
the general arrangement of the magazine there is,
altogether, a decided improvement.

A GIANT.—Mr. Robert Hales, named " the York-
shire Giant," who will exhibit in Nottingham next
week, is nearly eight feet in height, and weighs 4621 b.
(33 stone). His longitude is inherited from his parents,
his father, a farmer, being six feet six inches, and his
mother six feet (weighing 14 stone). Of this Patagonian
couple, the progeny were all remarkable for their stature;
the boys were " sons of Anak," and the daughters of
Amazonian development; any of them quite a Glum•
dalclitch. The four sons averaged six feet five inches in
height; the daughters, six feet three and a half inches.
But the flower of the flock was and is the one now in
Manchester. His sister, aged 20, attained seven feet
two inches, and weighed 16 stone, but she died in 1842.
Mr. Hales is now in his 28th year, of fair proportions•
with p,easing features and good•humoured, cheerful
countenance. He is vivacious and intelligent, and
altogether a very different sort of being to the heavy
lumpish louts we have seen in caravans. With him are
exhibited a male 'dwarf and two female Albinos.

Marriage requires the fulfilment of several conditions. ie order
that it may be really the cause of mutual happiness. Could the
veil, which covers the origin of domestic wretchedness, be raised,
and Its true coerce is every instance disclosed, in how many could

Jointments. Excesses are always injurious ; the gift, which when
used in modsratioe is fraught with advantage, becomes, whet'
abased, the Drolifie source of mischief and of greater or less lnjnry
to the constitutional and vital porvers. Tke particular excesses. on

This work contains an accurate aid complete account of the

their relative conditions la health. and disease. It deservedly

in early life or frorn the follies of advanced age, while sufferieg

THE OATH.

Know you this, "Inkosi Inkulu," our own " Inkosi
Inkulu," representative of our great Queen of England,
that I (hear the chief repeats his name) will be faithful
and true unto you, or to whomsoever her Majesty places
over us, and faith to you bear for the lands which 1 hope
to hold of you, and that I will lawfully do to you the
customs and services which I ought to do in the terms
assigned, viz.:-
1. To obey the laws and commands of the " Inkosi
Inkulu," the representative of our great Queen, and the
commissioners given to protect us.
2. To compel my people to do he same.
3. To disbelieve in, and cease to tolerate or practise,
witchcraft in any shape.
4. To prevent all violations of our women. (I will
not allow the women to be violated.)
s. To abhor murder, and to put to death every mur-
derer.
6. To make my people honest and peaceable, never to
rob from the colony, and never from one another.
7. To acknowledge to hold my lands, not as a matter
of right, which is forfeited by my own trangressions,
murders, and spoliations, on the peaceable inhabitants of
the colony, but from her Majesty.

Queen of England, and her "Inkosi Inkulu," or whom-
soever he leaves in his name, aided by the Commis-
sioners Mackinnon, Maclean, Brownlee, and Fynn.
9. To abolish the sin of buying wives. (You shall not
buy wives, it is the base of all robbery.)
10. To listen to the missionaries, and make my people
do so, and to be glad to send our children to school, to
learn those habits of industry and knowledge which
make Englishmen rich, good, happy, and clothed.
(Ask Sandilli where the pouch is I gave him long ago.
Look at him now! Next year I hope to see him rich and
clothed, Almighty God looking down upon him and
enriching him.)
11. On the anniversary of this day to bring here to
King William's Town one fat ox, in testimony and ac-

REQUISITION TO MR. CARDWELL TO RESIGN.—
At a meeting of the National Confederation, Liverpool,
held yesterday, a requisition to Mr. Cardwell, calling
upon him to resign his seat as one of the representatives
of that town, in consequence of big vote against Mr.
Horsman'a motion for a more equitable adjustment of
the bacon-tax, was unanimously adopted.
