Extract from the "Dublin Freeman's Journal," April 29, 1858.
MR. RAREY'S SECOND " LESSON."

Mr. Rarey met his subscribers again yesterday at the Riding-
school at the Lower Castle Yard, and we were gratified to observe
a considerable increase in the numbers, and that very few of h s
earlier pupils were absent from the eminently useful and instructive
lesson which it was their privilege to receive. The lady pupils mus-
tered strongly and early; and from the attention they paid to the
minutest features of a system so consonant with the finer feelings
which constitute their peculiar attribute, we augur most favourably
for the future ef the Trish horse. The influence they must exert
in his favour when they become perfect in the science cannot fail
to have a most beneficial effect, even though they cannot impart
the speciality of Mr. Rarey's art to others. Debarred as we are
from revealing anything connected with Mr. Rarey's system, we
can only urge on the stock-masters and breeders now in town, the
importance sf the instructions of which so comparatively few
of their body are availing themselves, and earnestly advise them
not to allow the present opportunity to pass away
unused.
It has been said again and again since Mr. Rarey's appear-
ance in Dublin, but, "How can the secret be kept when so
many know it ?" and many, no doubt, are holding back in the hope
that in the course of time the " secret " mast oose out, and that
they will know without cost or study as much as any member of
Mr. Rarey's class. This hope is as vain as it is unworthy, and it is
as creditable to the extended circle of Mr Rarey's pupils that not
one member has yet violated his engagement by an attemptto impart
the art to others, as it is peculiar in the art that such an attempt
would be most unsatisfactory to the surreptitious student. The art
of portrait-painting could be as effectively imparted to the New
Zealand savage by telling him that the dead chief whom he sees to
live again on the canvass before him was recreated by the artistic
touch of the painter's pencil as could Mr. Rarey's power over the
horse be imparted to the " savage " of tke stable by any illicit
whisperings as to his incomparable science of horse-training. To
learn it so as to know it the master himself must be sought out as
the teacher ; and for a confirmation of this opinion we appeal to
the distinguished individuals who have attended Mr. Rarey's class
throughout. It is a science not a trick that Mr. Rare), imparts to
his pupils, and every gentleman who values horses, and every gen-
tleman farmer who breeds or deals in them, would And it an eco-
nomy as well as a comfort to be instructed in this science. The
" lesson " of yesterday added considerably to Mr. Rarey's popu-
larity with his class, and his illustrations were eminently suc-
cessful.

The essential object of this treatise is to point out the fearful con-
sequences resulting from certain habits, irregularities, and excesses,
which have produced more misery in Youth, degradation in Man-
hood, and premature decay at all stages of life, than, perhaps, any
other class of disease known to modern pathologists. Its perusal is
~articularly recommended to persons entertaining secret doubts of
their physical condition, and who are conscious of having hazarded
the health, happiness, and privileges to which every human being is
entitled.
It is absolutely necessary that all men should know that there are
rinciples of personal management which cannot be violated with-
out incurring grievous penalties, and when wisdom and regret sue
ceed the heyday of incousiderate self-indulgence, how those penalties
may be mitigated, how the sting of their bitterness tnay be removed,
and how the evil and its consequences may be avoided, and, above all,
hat there is scarcely any degree of physical infirmity or functional
derangement to which the timely aid of science cannot apply a cure.

TBE CERBERTIS CLUB.

" The Cerberus Club" of which some of our
readers have beard) has within the last few days
so compromised itself by certain indiscreet mani-
, festoes, sent forth anonymously, that it may be
doubted whether its invisible, but not unknown
allies, will any longer tolerate that a " whispering
gallery" should Le established between it and the
House of Commons. Our country cousins may,
perhaps, not at once recognise the corporation of
censors to which we allude. For some time they
went by the name of " The Pen and-ink clique,"
and their freaks and ridiculous outbursts of small
vanity contributed to the amusement of many.
They were journalists, and something more ; they
were members of Parliament, and something less.
They were neither orators or leading
politi-
cians. As one speaks of the demi-monde, so
" the Cerberus Club" affected the airs of semi-
statesmandlip, and their peculiar tone was redolent
lof the ante-chambers of fallen ministers, and of the
leading-artieledepartmentinPrinting-house-square.
Mr. Thackeray has lavished some of his finest
strokes in describing " the Polyanthus Club ;" but
the original members of the "Cerberus Club" sup-
ply as sti on subjects for satirical portraiture as
any satirist could desire, or as the imagination of
either Swift or Fielding could invent.
Two grand results, however, have been attained
by the establishment of the " Cerebus Club." It
has revealed at last what has been called " the
great Lowe mystery," and it has done much
to explode the popular delu -ion prevalent
about the consummate management of the
Times newspaper. The services of " the Club"
on the latter subject, have been truly great,
though no merit cane cleibeed, as theywere unin-
tentional. It was supposed in many quarters that
the Times journal was carefully controlled by a
board of experienced professional journalists, who
studied public questions and pursued in a legiti-
mate way the honourable calling of political writers.
11 But henceforth that delusion is at an end. There
was a period when it would not have been credited
in or out of the literary world that the Times news-
paper could be manipulated to serve the mean am-
bition of the ex-subordinates of a defunct Cabinet,
envenomed by political reverses, and farther ex-
asperated by the fact of an enforced taciturnity in
office when they desired to make their voices audible
in debate, and of repeated failures when, out of
office, opportunities were given them for appearing
on their legs. How deeply the Times has been
compromised by its maladroit alliance with this
great scolding association, we may elucidate on
another day ; we shall here direct attention to the
decisive exposure, by the " Cerberus Club" of the
"great Lowe mystery."
And, certainly, while it lasted, " the great Lowe
mystery" was a capital means of sowing gape seed,
and making all Mayfair stare. It was odd enough
that " Spirit-rapping" and " Bob Lowe" should
have come in together, and they are likely to van-
ish at the same time. Who was "Bob Lowe ?"
Whence came he ! Whither bound ? What was his
object ? and how did he find himself where he was ?
were the questions asked in a breath in 1852-3
about the new member for Kiddetminster, and
the unsatisfactory nature of the answers given
only still deepened the darkness of the " great
Lowe mystery." People saw, all of a sudden,
a gentleman step into the Yice Presidency of
the Board of Trade, and become a Privy Coun-
cillor, without Parliamentary experience and
without a tried reputation. He hadmade " out of
doors" a vigorous electioneering speech, and on his
first appearance in the House of Commons he as-
sumed an air of great importance. Those who
were not in the secret of " the mystery" were de-
ceived. They supposed that "Mr. Robert Lowe"
must really hove commanding talents, and they
only wondered how long be had concealed his light.
He had left England in early life to practise at a
colonial bar, at which he had not risen to distinc-
tion and he returned in mature years to make a
sudden jump into a high office, one which the
Whigs had given to the late Mr. Shiel and to Mr.
Milner Gibson, after those gentlemen had per-
formed signal party services and achieved parlia-
mentary names.
Well, time rolled on. Mr. Lowe had made his
first appearance in English politics in 1852, and it
was taken for granted by some that he was to win
great reputation. Month after month, session after
session, passed by, and no brilliant speeches, no
masterly replies, no electrifying bursts of sudden
eloquence, came from the lips of the orator from the
antipodes. He attempted liberties in debate, and
he interrupted gentlemen while addressing the
house, and received on one occasion so stinging a
reproof that the House of Commons was astonished
that the Australian Cicero had nothing to say for
himself. The occasion was given to him again
and again to exhibit his "power of in-
vective," or his "talent for reply," or his
" extraordinary abilities," and year after year
went by, and deeper and deeper grow the
" Lowe mystery." It was certainly very singular.
What was it that entitled Mr. Lowe to such rapid
elevation ? Some believed that Mr. Lowe had been
promoted on the bona fide expectation of his possess-
ing great eloquence, and they called him an " utter
failure." Others treated "the mystery" jocosely,
and compared the member for Kidderminster's case
to that of the taurine quadruped, immortalised in
" Tristam Shandy," " who went through his work
with such solemn assurance and imperturable gra-
vity, that the parish never suspected his being such
an impostor I'
But " the mystery" was not yet explained. The
Whigs and the jobbing Liberals were extremely rude
and harsh to gentlemen of their connection who had
disappointed their hopes or crossed their purposes.
Not to speak of the treatment experienced by Lord
John Russell and Mr. Horsman, it was recollected
that Sir Benjamin Hawes had suffered severely.
Why should not a similar measure have been admi-
nistered to Mr. Lowe on his proving such apolitical
mediocrity ? Many cried with wonder—" He has
neither great knowledge, stirring eloquence, the
sway of a strong nature, nor the prestige of fashion,
and why is he still tolerated ?" It was further said
"that be bad no connexion." "Stay—stay," said
some interrupting voice, "you are mistaken there,"
and then would come an explanation, to the pur-
port that Mr. Lowe had a great City connection."
Oh, he was connected with " capitalists t" and the
adviser of " millions res ?" Not that the. Lowe's
connection was in the " advertising line," and
when "Messrs. Temple and Co." wished their
goods to be brought favourably before the public
they were always ready to introduce " our Mr.
Lowe" in special quarters. It gave him "vast in-
fluence !"

----
That explanation to 1 the tone of quizzing, and
some persons even still were puzzled at " the great
Lowe mystery." Plainer words were used, when
" the Pen-and-ink clique" began to act in an orga-
niFed manner, and to assume a collective influence
which their political abilities did not justify. They
extended their system and resolved to be success-
ful "diners out," where one was expected to be
extremely courteous to them, and " to be sure not
to forget to take—ink with them !" In a word,
"the Cerberus Club" went on town ! The Board
of Trade bad the honour of giving its
vice-president
a great station in " the club." Gentlemen
who could not succeed in debate become active
backbiters in journalism ! Manufacturers of
damp invectives, which they wanted nerve for ex-
ploding in the house, continued to find a literaryand
application for their industry in delraction,
their malign energy in defamation.
T
rocket in Painting house-square, and too risueklikliekae
the stick in Westminster, satisfied the objects of
1 their low ambition (we do not mean any play
upon
the word), and carried out the purposes of their
1 mere professional politics.
And thus " the great Lowe mystery" has at
last been solved. A leading station and constant
work in the " Ce r bei us Club," suits the talent,
such as it is, and is not alien
to the tastes of
Mr. Robert Lowe. It cannot any longer be
said that "Who is Mr. Lowe 7', is as great
a puzzle as " who was Junius ?), Everything
is now explained about the sudden rise of Mr.
Lowe in office, and his still more surprising reten-
tion there, after he bad repeatedly been, a failure
in debate. He has access to a leading organ, and
y he can do more work for Cambridge House the
1 types of a journal than by the "patter versus
1 Clatter" sor t of rhetoric which comes from his lips.
If he cannot soar like Junius, a member of the
" Cerberus Club" can at least scold as much ; if
he cannot dazzle he can defame, and if he cannot
raise a reputation for himself in Parliament, an
"M.P. turned journalist" can asperse the reputa-
tions of others, while keeping himself sheltered
from reply. Such a politician can find ample op-
portunities of using his 'triple brass as news
"reporter !" a
finder,
article writer, and as Truly,
"right honourable" vocation for one who aspires
,
to Parliamentary distinction .
But the " Cerberus Club" has now committed it-
self and compromised the Times. It has never been
our practice to criticise our brethren in our own
profession or to comment on journalists in their
private capacities. If the members of the " Cer-
• berus Club" were regular journalists, pursuing a

recognised occupation, we should allow them to be
as malignant as they chose, and leave them to suf-
fer for the consequences. But when members of the
House of Commons adopt certain practices not re-
cognised by Conservative or Whig gentlemen, we
have a right to criticise their conduct, and to offer
public strictures on their proceedings. A member of
Parliament can speak in debate, or he can communi-
cate with his constituency, oche can address the pub-
lic in works of a literary character. But the member
of Parliament who, to gratify his malignity, pursues
the occupation of a journalist, in order to obtain safely
for his industry flinging missiles at the leaders of
the opposite connection, degrades at the same
time his own personal pretensions, and sullies
tl,e organ which condescends to such odious means
of warfare. We are proud of the talents which
honourably distinguish the independent members
of that branch of journalism who undertake the
arduous task of reporting the parliamentary de-
bates, but we have a very different estimate of
the members of Parliament who trample at the
same time on the social conventions of journalism
and of the senate, and who sit on the benches of the
House of Commons as unauthorised " reporters,"
while some of their practices savour only too
strongly of the sinister attainments of—spies I
Our remarks, it will be observed, do not con-
cern any professional journalist, and we believe that
before many days elapse the Times will find that it
"cannot conveniently find room" for the contribu-
tions of the " Cerberus Club." Let the anonymous
gentlemen who affected the other day to find fault
with the "subtlety" and "ingenuity" of the Chan-
cellor of the Exchequer apply without delay to Sir
Richard Bethell, and let- them request the hon.
and learned _gentleman to. lecture the house on
"simplicity," and at the same time they maysuggest
to Mr. Ralph Osborne that the occupation of a
journeyman jeweller in rhetorical trinkets taken
from " Junius" is not a very honourable practice,
either for speikers of invectives, or Parliamentary
leader-writers who are " unattached" journa-
lists. Professional writers would not have ven-
tured to put forth the malignant and meanly de-
famatory productions that have been laid before
the public within the last few days, but the mem-
bers of " the Cerleerus Club" are altogether mis-
taken if they think that they can find impunity
for their practices in flying to the supposed shelter
of the Times.—Standard.

STATE OF THE AFFAIRS OFI MESSRS.
CALVERT.' AND CO.,

The annexed statement of the affairs of Messrs.
Calvert and Co., prepared by Messrs. Quilter, Ball,
and Co., the accountants called iu to report for the
satisfaction of the creditors was issued yesterday
afternoon. The assets of the firm figure for the
satisfactory total of 713,4501, against liabilities for
470,9371., showing a surplus of 242,5131. subject to
a deduction of 62,0431. on account of deficiency in
the private estates described in the succeeding
balance-sheet. It is to be presumed the valuation
of the assets has been made on calculations of what
they would fetch if fairly brought upon the market,
instead of being forced to sale regardless of time
and opportunity. The hope is that if the settle-
ment can be effected, as proposed, under a deed of
inspectorship, all parties will be paid in full with
interest, but an impression prevails that in the
event of unfriendly proceedings, and a consequent
hostile liquidation, so many questions will arise
among the different classes of creditors that it will
be very doubtful whether all ►ill be paid in full,
while great delay and expense must necessarily re-
sult from the litigation that will ensue :

EADVBRTISBMENT.I SIGUT AND HEARING --- SPECTACLES--..
POWERFUL TELESCOPES OPERA, RACE, AND PERSPECTIVE
GLessEs.—S. and B. Solomons, opticians, 39, Albemarle-
street, Piccadilly. Observe—opposite the York Hotel, W.
By her Majesty's Royal Letters Patent for valuable and ex-
traordinary improvements in the most powerful and brilliant
Telescopes, Camp, Race-course, Opera, and Perspective
Glasses, to know the distances. These Telescopes possess
such extraordinary power that some, three and a-half inches,
with an extra eye-piece will show distinctly Jupiter's moons,
Saturn's ring, and the double stars ; with the same telescope
can be seen a person's countenance three-and-a-half miles
distant and an object from 16 to 20 miles. For the waist-
coat-pocket, and are of larger, and all sizes, with increasing
powers accordingly. The Royal Exhibition, 1851. —A valu-
able, newly-invented, very small, powerful, Waistcoat-pocket
Glass, the size of a walnut, by which a person can be seen and
known one and a-half mile distant. They answer every pur-
pose on the Race-course and at the Opera-houses. Country
scenery and ships are clearly seen at 12 to 14 miles. They
are invaluable for shooting, deer-stalking, yachting, to
sportsmen, gentlemen, gamekeepers, and tourists. Opera,
Camp, Perspective, and Race-course Glasses, with wonderful
powers. - Invaluable preserving Spectacle Lenses of the
greatest transparent power. The great advantage derived
from this invention is, that vision impaired becomes pre-
served and strengthened and very aged persons are enabled
to employ their sight at the most minute occupation—can see
with those lenses of a much less magnifying power—and
they do not require the frequent change, to the dan-
gerous effects of further powerful assistance. Persons
can be suited at the most remote part of the world by send-
ing one of the glasses out of their spectacles in a letter, and
stating the distance from the eye they can read small print
with it, and those who have not made use of spectacles by
stating their age. Deafness.—New Discovery.—The organic
