WHAT to EAT, DRINK, and AVOID
With Diet Tables for all Complaints.

Contents :—Bow to ensure perfect digestion, tranquil eelings, a
good night's rest, a clear head, and a contented mind. By an ob-
servance of the instructions herein contained .the feeble, the ner-
vously delicate, even to the most shattered constitution, may acquire
the greatest amount of physical happiness, and reach in health the
full period of life allotted to man.
_ _ _

" How we should live—what eat, what drink, what shun,
To reach in health full threescore years and ten."

These interesting little volumes, although bearing upon subjects of
very delicate import, as their titles imply, will be found of immea-
surable and general utility, fer they tell of matters everyliving crea-
ture able to understand ought to know, but which information in
these enlightened times, except that quality promulgated through
questionable channels, is at a very terrible discount.
In the exposition hereby offered of the till now hidden truths of
nature, of human disappointments and their ways of relief, it is not
contended that every reader shall become his or her own physician
any more than their own lawyer, but it is insisted upon that we
should know the simple principles of our own organization, the laws
whereby our existence and the issue thereof in their several healthy
states depend, the duties that are expected of us in our individual
capacities In the family circle, and the terms on which the health and
happiness of the present and future race of mankind have to rely.
By such knowledge, and which is herein faithfully imparted,
health will be found to be in our own keeping, and happiness
within the attainment of all ; by the avaliment hereof in fulfilling
Our duty to ourselves, we secure the like advantages on our offspring
to follow, and finally by the cultivation if our faculties, which is in-
consistent with degenerate health, the mind as well as the body may
be exalted to the summit of perfection, as best becomes the highest
of God's creations.

CAUTION TO CYDER MAKERS.—An inquest was re-
cently held by T. Fooks, Esq., coroner for the liberty of
Sherborne, Dorset, on a labourer, who died from the effects of
drinking cyder which had been boiled in a brass or copper
furnace. It appeared by the evidence of the person who
made the cyder, that a quantity of hops, loaf and moist
sugar, ginger, and liquorice, was put into the liquor to fine
it, and that to prevent the recipe being discovered by a
person who assisted, a small portion of brick-dust was added.
The mixture was then boiled M the furnace. Mr. E. Turner,
surgeon, gave it as his opinion that the ingredients named
were harmless, but the boiling in a brass furnace would pro-
duce the acetate of copper, and ulceration of the bowels, such
as he had found on a post mortem examination. The jury
found, that death had been occasioned by drinking cyder
boiled in a brass furnace for the purpose of fining.
BOSTON GRAMMAR SCHOOL.—We are happy to learn
that the Bishop has taken this much-abused institution into
his bands.—The anomaly of a " head master's " receiving a
large salary without a single pupil to teach, will soon be
done away. His Lordship has too high a sense of justice to
connive at such a continued perversion of charity funds.—

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
Stn,—The improvement which has gradually taken place
during the last seven or eight years in the York Meeting,
has at last made it a rival of no small consequence to its
much-favoured neighbour at Doncaster. This year the sport
is decidedly above the average, although the interest at-
tached, as far as betting goes, is but small, there being but
four or five nags in the market this afternoon at Tattersall's
for the" crack" race of the meeting, the Great Ebor Handi-
cap; and of these, Bourton, a moderate three-year-old, and
The Druid, are the only twO invested on to anystini.
On Wednesday the Colt Sapling Stakes will be won by
Christopher.
The Knavesmire Stakes of 100 sous. each looks very much
like a " walk over" for Sir Tatton Sykes : it is not improbable
that the Wrestler or the Peri colt may put in an appearance;
but whether they do or not, it will not interfere in the
slightest degree with the result.
The Prince of Wales's Stakes of 10 sous. each has sixty-
four subs., arid a good field may be expected to show, in-
cluding Slander, or Glentilt, Dipthong, Her. Highness, and
Cobweb fillies; the race will lie entirely between the latter
two, with, most probably, the Cobweb filly for winner.
The Great Ebor Handicap will attract from fifteen to
eighteen to the post, viz., °The Baron, Glossy, *Example,
Little Hampton, Connaught Ranger, Dart, Satyr, Teetotaller,
Burgundy, *Columbus, The Druid, Laura colt, *Cameraob-
scura, Driffield, Bourton, Finvaragh, Golden Bee, Brother
to Sir Henry, and Robin Burns. (Those marked with an
asterisk are doubtful.) Of the above lot, I consider Columbus,
6st 31b, and Finvaragh, sst 31b, to be as well in as any, and
to them I leave the race, taking The Druid, sst 121 b, for a
" cockboat."

On Thursday the Chesterfield Handicap to Lord Chester-
field or Mr. Meiklarn ; the former, with Lady Wildair, will
just manage, I think, to do the trick; if he fails, Mr. Meiklam
is my forlorn hope.
The Competition Produce Stakes to Susanna or Johnny
Armstrong.
The Filly Stakes to the Slayer's Daughter, Morella filly
playing second fiddle.
The Gimcrack Stakes to Miles's Boy, Christopher, or
Sir Martin. For this stake a dozen, or thereabouts, will
start.

On Friday the Great Yorkshire Stakes, with 116 nomina-
tions, will probably muster ten starters, viz., Mendicant,
lago, Josephine, Poynton, The Conjuror, Joinville, Hoonab,
Fiddlestring, and perhaps Fancy Boy and Sting, but the
latter two and Grimaton are very doubtful, the St. Leger
being too near. I have not the least hesitation in declaring
Mendicant or Fancy Boy the winner.
The Convivial Stakes to Tom Fool or Tom Tit.
The Filly Sapling Staket to Dipthong ; and
The Thirty SOM Stakes to Jonathan Wild or Erin-go-
bragh—the latter for choice. I am, Sir, &c.,
Aug. 17. THE SPIRIT OF THE TURF.

THE PAVILION AT BRIGHTON.
(From a London Journal.)
In commenting upon the proposed alterations and addi •
Lions to Buckingham Palace, and the expense necessarily
attendant upon it, after a long preamble, in a good-humoured
and facetious style, the journalist goes on thus:—
" Her Majesty, not to speak it profanely. seems very much
in the predicament of the ' old woman' in the nursery
rhyme, who _ _ _

' Lived in a shoe,
And had so many children she didn't know what to do.'
In this difficulty she, most excusably, applies to Parliament
for an extension of the Palace accomodations.

" A vote of 20,0004 for the purpose of altering Buckingham
Palace was proposed on Friday night. The total cost of the
alterations is estimated at 150,0001. Among other changes
to be made, we see the marble arch is to be' taken down.
This is hard on the memory of "the first gentleman of
Europe," to whore taste we owe that remarkadly useful
erection. Nay, not satisfied with thus trampling on his
artistic reputation, the Woods and Forests propose
to sell the Pavilion ' at Brighton. The money
it may fetch is to go in part payment of the
expense of the repairs and alterations of Buckingham
Palace. We hope that Mr. George Robins will be entrusted
with the sale of this Pavilion; no style but his can do justice
to such a work of art. No doubt .Punch will furnish him
with a model for his advertisement, but we shrink from tres-
passing on the domain of our facetious friend. At the same
time, we must repeat, we aro sorry not to see more respect
for the memory of the fourth George. His claims to ele-
gance of manners have been contested. Certain traits re-
corded by Lord Malmesbury and Lady Hester Stanhope
somehow seem to be inconsistent with the behaviour not
only of the first gentleman of Europe, but of any gentleman
whatever. His reputation for wit seems to have dwindled
away into an admission of the fact, that at one time of his
life he could use his tongue after his third bottle of claret.
And now we throw down the arch he approved, and bring
the pavilion of his aesthetic affections to the hammer. Sic
transit!"

CHAMPIONSHIP OF THE THAMES.—Charles Camp-
bell, of Westminster-bridge, and Robert Coombes, of Milbank, will
contend to-morrow for 2001. and the championship of the Thames.
The event is the theme of conversation in every circle, and so much
diversity of opinion prevails as to the merits of the men, that but
very little money depends upon it. Good sums have been offered at
even on Campbell, but those disposed to back Coombes required odds ;
and, although 5 to 4 has in some few instances been speculated, the
current betting is 9to 8. The great question is, whether Campbell,
the " lion" of past years, who defeated Coombes with perfect ease
about eight years ago, is as good as he was. Both parties are in
active training, and appear very confident. The distance is from
Putney-bridge to Mortlake Church, and a strong attendance is
expected.
ALLEGED DEATH OF A. FEMALE FROM THE VIOLENCE
or ilea Human:b.—Yesterday forenoon, Mr. T. Wakley, M.P.,
opened an inquest, at the Crown and Anchor, King-street, Seven
Dials, on the body of Mary Williams, aged 45, who, it was alleged,
had met her death through violent treatment she received from her
husband. Mary Dixon, a single woman, said that she had known
the deceased and her husband about three or four weeks, by living
in the same house with them. On the evening of Thursday last, the
deceased took a knife out of one of the drawers, and told her hus-
band that "she would stick him." The deceased at that time was
inebriated, and they had been quarrelling together about some money.
Witness and her sister laid hold of the arms of deceased, and wrenched
the knife out of her hands. She afterwards took up a chair to beat
her husband with. She also struck him in the face, and at the side
of his head, two or three times. The husband then gave the de-
ceased a blow with his hand or fist. The blow produced a black eye.
Between eight and nine the same evening, the deceased, who
had been out for an hour or two, returned home rather more
intoxicated than she was before, and she commenced abusing
her husband, who took her round the waist, and carried her out
of the place, and left her on the lobby of the stairs. The husband
then went to bed, and just before eleven o'clock the husband accused
the deceased of having thrown the iron candlestick at him, fer the
purpose of splitting his head. He then got out of bed, gave her a
violent blow on the head, and knocked her against the bedstead.
When down lie lifted his foot, apparently to kick her, but the candle
having gone out, witness was unable to state positively whether he
did or did not kick her. The deceased, however, fell over on her
side, and faintly ejaculated " Oh !" The following morning deceased
complained of great pain at her chest, and she died on Friday morn-
ing. Witness did not see any violence inflicted upon deceased after
the night of Thursday last, as she left the house at eight o'clock tile
following morning to look after a situation. Other evidence of a
similar character having been adduced, the Coroner said that the in-
quiry would occupy the Court several hours more, and as he had an-
other engagement to attend to, he should adjourn the further Inquiry
until this day (Tuesday). The witnesses and the jurors were then
bound over, each in the sum of 10/., to appear at the adjournment.
A professional gentleman attended for the husband.—This morning
at nine o'clock the inquiry was resumed, and after some further
evidence had been gone into, the Coroner summed up, and ex-
plained the law on the subject, and remarked that as the evidence
was not positive, it would be for the jury to consider whether the in-
flammation which caused the death of the deceased, had its origin,
or was aggravated by, the kick given to her by her husband, and to
return a verdict accordingly. The jury then retired, and after an
absence of half an hour returned the following verdict:—" That the
deceased Mary Williams died from the effects of the ill treatment of
her husband, Jeremiah Williams, against whom we find a verdict of
manslaughter, which act was committed under great provocation:"
DREADFUL ATTEMPT AT ASSASSINATION IN BLOOMS-
BuaT.—Last evening, between the hours of six and seven o'clock, a
most deliberate attempt at assassination Was made by a man named
Finch, in Hyde-street, Bloomsbury, and by which the whole neigh-
bourhood was thrown into the greatest alarm arid excitement as the
fact became known. The subjoined are the particulars collected by
the reporter : —John Sullivan, aged thirty, a labourer, who was em-
plcycd at a public-house, situate in Ilyde-street, kept by a Mr. Swain,
and in the act of executing his job, being at the rear of the premises,
when he was abruptly disturbed by the man Finch, whom he had
never before seen, and who was somewhat excited by jealousy, con-
sidering himself supplanted by Sullivan, as he had made application
for the same emplopment and the preference was given to his unfor-
tunate victim. Finch gave vent to the most offensive expressions,
Sullivan taking no notice, but continuing his work, and as he was in
the act of picking up sorne,,_briicnksth, e
right side, a
a Spanish knife
inflicting
a dreadful
from his bosom, stabbed no.
soon brought wound, extending four inches in length, from which the blood poured
forth ill copious streams. The cry of " Murder ,"
as-
sistance, but before the fellow could d left clavicle, be_ secured, he again madea
thrust at M the Lis victim, just below lavicle, causing a deep gash.
At this time several police-officers were on the spot, and it required
the united strength
of two or three of them to convey him to the sta-
tion-house. The injured man was then removed in a cab to the King's
College Hospital, and placed under the care of Mr. Smith, the house-
surgeon, who was in immediate attendance, examined and dressed
the wounds, which are pronounced to be of a dangerous nature. The
unfortunate mania married.
FATAL FALL.—Yes te rd ay en inquest was held at the
Wellington, Samuel-street, St.
George's in the East, before Mr. W.
Baker, jun., touching the death of John Maclean, aged 44, a seaman
on board the Victor,
lying in tile London Docks. On Saturday after-
boon last the deceased was standing on the upper decks, engaged in
removing some wool, with ifs back towards the hatchway, when he
suddenly fell down to the bottom of the ship's hold, a distance of 17 I
feet. lie was raised up by some of his shipmates, when they diseJ-
vered his skull to be fractured, and quite dead. Verdict, "Accidental
death."
FATAL FALL FROM A HORSE.—.Mn W. Pliyne, the
coroner, held an inquest last evening at St. Bat taolomew's Hospital,
on the body of Thomas Clive, aged 31, a groom. It appeared that
the deceased had been in the service of Mr. Emerson, f Whitstone.
On Saturday week last, while proceeding along the high-road,-Bernet,
he was suddenly seized with a fit, which caused him to fall from the
horse, whereby he received severe injury to the skull and concussion
of the brain. He was seen by a surgeon, who ordered h:s removal to
thd above hospital, where he died, on Saturday evening last, from
the effects of the injuries, Verdict, " Accidental death."
T. WARLEY, ESQ., M.P.--A penny subscription has
been set on foot by the inhabitants of Camden-tow n for the purpose
of presenting a piece of plate to Mr. Wakley, as a mark of their esteem
for the manly and unflinching manner lu which he has acted since
filling the ghee of Coroner for /41Mokox.

HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
Six,—A journal having stated that Mr. Lumley bad
exacted from me the sum of 150/. as the insuperable con
dition of my being allowed to write an opera for Drury-lane
Theatre, and that I had purchased my position at her
Majesty's Theatre, &c., I beg to be allowed at once to refute,
through your kind permission, this groundless assertion, as it
will be seen from the following circumstances I am bound to
do in common honesty. Although, from the terms of my
written contract, I was debarred from writing for or making
any engagement with theatres or other establishments in
England, Mr. Lumley, on my application, granted me the
permission as regards Drury- lane. Not only did he demand
no compensation, but he gave me a sum in addition to my
salary, as an acknowledgment, as he was pleased to say, of
the manner in which I had discharged my duties.
To this must be added, that Mr. Lumley made an addi-
tion to my salary for tho ensuing year, in consideration of my
time being devoted, during the season, to the service of her
Majesty's Theatre, to the exclusion of my engagements else-
where.

I need not repeat, that although I have passed over in
silence the numberlcssattacks, equally groundless, made upon
me personally from the same quarter, I was bound to protest
against so great an untruth directed against one that has
acted most fairly and liberally towards me.
I trust, Sir, that this circumstance will excuse my trespass-
ing upon your attention.—l have the honour to remain, Sir,
your most obedient servant, M. W. BALFE.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday was very quiet.
Sales 3,000 bales, at previous rates. Shares were rather
dull.
It would appear by the last advices from the southern
States of America, that the crops of Cotton were reported to
be this year on the ground, and that, consequently, a short
yield was anticipated. This rumour, however, did not have
any influence upon prices at New York when the Great Britain
left for this country. Should the report referred to prove to
be correct, no doubt speculation in Cotton will be carried on
to a considerable extent, as the stocks here are deficient as
compared with what they were at this time last year. The
computed quantity in store at Liverpool on Saturday
last was 779,000 bales, whereas on the saute day, 1845, there
were on hand 1,049,600 bales. The average quantity taken
per week for home consumption, from the Ist January, has
been 29,130 bales. The -weekly takings in the same time
last year averaged 30,803 bales. The whole quantity bought
for consumption from the Ist January to the 14th inst. is
stated at 940,500 bales, against 994,500 bales in the corres-
ponding period of 1845. The demand for cotton manufac-
tured goods is at present dull, especially for exportation.
The shipment of cotton to the continent has increased this
year to 68,800 bales. Up to the 14th Aug., 1845, but 49,000
bales were exported.
The measures propounded to the House of Commons last
night by Lord John Russell for the relief of distress in Ire•
land, are considered most satisfactory in the City. .No doubt
every means will be taken by the Lord Lieutenant to render
the most efficient aid on the trying occasion. The extension
of railways must prove a source of employment to the la:
bouring population of the sister isle.
The speech of the King of the French, on the opening of
the Chambers, is satisfactory ; but, not being the speech of
the session, does not excite much remark.
The Stock Market is not affected by the reported intention
of Government to dissolve Parliament this year. Consols
are 95% to 95% for present transfer, And 95% for time, being
steady. Exchequer, bills have realised lls. to 14s. premium.
The Slew Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. have been quoted
97% to 98. Bank Stock is firm at 208 to 209.
The Foreign Securities have very been dull. Spanish Five
per Cents. have realised 25%, and the Three per Cents.
36%. Portuguese Four per Cents. are 41. Brazilian
Stock is quoted 89 to 89!, ; Mexican Bonds have been 221
to 23, wuich is again rather lower; Dutch Two-and-a-Half
per Cents. arc 59;,,g.
Shares have been very quiet this morning, but remain at
about previous rates.

COLONIAL.
SUGAR.—There has been a good business done in British
Plantation, about 600 hhds having been sold, and fir which
rather higher prices have been obtained, establishing an ad-
vance in nearly all descriptions of fully 6d to is since this
day week. The public sales consisted chiefly of 1,613 bags
Bengal, 1,936 boxes white, and 196 boxes yellow Havannah,
chiefly damaged. The Bengal found ready buyers at 44s Gd
to 53s Gd for soft greyish yellow to good white Benares,
being fully previous rates. Nearly two-thirds of, the
Havannah were damaged, and sold at 25s 6d to 28s 64 for
white, and 23s 6d to 24s 6d for yellow, being comparatively
.
the value. The sound white was taken at 30s to 32s for
mid to good strong quality. The quantity_ of British Plan-
tation landed last week at the East and West India Docks
was 1,572 hhds, 94 tierces, 19 barrels, and there were taken
for home consumption 1,339 hhds, 220 tierces, 146 barrels.
