Seventh Edition.—Just Published in Bro., cloth boards, 7s. 6d.
ON THE CURE OF PILES, FISTULA,
HEMORRHOIDAL EXCRESCENCES, TU-
MOURS, and STRICTURES,without CUTTING or CON-
FINEMENT, illustrated with numerous cases. Being a fami-
liar Exposition of the Practice of S. J. VAN BUT(,HELL,
Surgeon Accoucheur.

A s more than one clergyman whom we knew have received
benefit from the treatment of Mr. Van Butchell, we gladly
call attention to this work, containing, as it does, accounts of
numerous cases which have fallen within his practice, and the
perusal of which may be of advantage to others similarly af-
flicted. The work is very clearly and well written, and to be
understood without any labour."—The Church Intelligences.
4. This is a useful work—the complaint being the too fre-
quent attendant upon sedentary pursuits and habits. The
public reception of the work, which leas reached seven editions,
is a sufficient stamp of its worth and ability. We can recom-
mend it to that large class who are unfortunately suffering
under the complaint of which it practically treats. Its state-
ments are confirmed by a collection of letters and cases."—Bell's

"To Mr. CA LiBURN—Sir, I have great ple.sure in informing

An eminent physician, who was suspended from his professional
duties by Rheumatic Gout, in a few hours obtained such relief, that,
instead of being lifted in and out of h s carriage, he could leave it with-
out assist ance or inconvenience.
"To Mr. CABBURN—Sir, I beg to state my satisfaction as to
your Oil in cases of Rheumatism, Gout, &c , and the pe, uliar effects
are truly astonishing. I can forward you a list of highly respectable
and important testimonies. A patient within t! e last two months,
although having had the attendance of eleven medical men, and
whose case was deemed hopeless, from the use of your Oil, has
found all the benefit required, having now the perfect use of her
limbs. " I am, yours. &c., " H. THOMPSON.

"To Mr. CABBURN—Sir, Mr. Bridges, a surgeon of considerable
practice at Weston Beyard, was for some time so very much afflicted
with Rheumatism, as to be unable to sit on horseback ; having heard
of the Anti- Doloric Oil, he was determined to give it a fair trial, and
he says atter the use of one 4s. I'd. bottle, he was astonished to find
himself well. He has since purchased several bottles of me, and has
used it successfully in his private practice. He is now trying it on a
patient (with prospects of success) who has been discharged from the
Hereford Dispensary as incurable. I remain, yours, &C.,

CHAMBERS' EDINBURGH JOURNAL.

In this first part of the new series of the Edinburgh
Journal there is an interesting biographical account
of the late John Parish Robertson, the author of the
" Letters from Paraguay," whose whole life, from his
earliest youth, seems to have been a constant succes-
sion of romantic adventures. The memoir is written
in a friendly spirit, and is well worth reading. Mrs.
Hull also contributes the first portion of a tale under
the familiar title of " Wives and Husbands." So far
as it hr.s proceeded, it promises well.

ining, must surely be regarded as a point of very
! great importance ; and when we consider the terrible
!loss of life and property which has occurred in our
navy only in the course of the last half cen-
tury, we hold it as a duty to our naval and commer-
cial interests generally to place such facts as those to
which we have alluded fairly before the public.
Between the years 1809 and 1815—viz., six years,
no less than thirty sail of the line, and fifteen frigates,
are known to have been disabled by lightning; a
great number of seamen either killed or crippled by
the same agency. The Repulse lost the service of no
less than twenty men by lightning, in the Bay of
Roses, in August, 1813, ten of them were killed on
the spot; and the squadron lost the efficient services of
one of its fastest ships, from the crippled state of the
masts. It has been calculated, from the cases detailed
in the official log-books of her Majesty's ships, depo-
sited at the Admiralty, that the country, during the
last war, did not expend at the least a sum short of
10,000/. annually, in consequence of the damage sus-
tained by our shipping, by lightning, in various parts
of the world.—Plymouth Herald.

CHRISTIAN'S MONTHLY MAGAZINE.
„... .

There is a very lengthy and elaborate article in
this Number, entitled " Theology and Philosophy,"
in N hich, among various other matters, the author
speaks in terms of regret of the decline of classical
scholarship among us. The article, though it contains
several useful suggestions, is much too long-winded
and too desultory in its character. In the monthly
register we have a carefully digested account of all the
religions ecclesiastical proceedings that have taken
place during the past month. The magazine is an
intelligent one, but it is too heavy in its tone, and too
little distinguished by variety.

LAW AND POLICX.

At the Court of Exchequer another revenue case was tried,
arising out of the Custom-house frauds. Mr. Dean, the de-
fendant, carried on a silk business in St. Paul's Churchyard,
at the time to which this action goes back, but he has now
ceased to do so. It has been brought against. him for having
removed goods, knowing the duties thereon to have been
unpaid in part. • The case of the Crown having closed, the
Attorney-General consented to allow it to stand over till
the sittings after term, the defendant not being prepared
with his defence.

The session of the Central Criminal Court, at the Old
Bailey, commenced yesterday. There are at present 250
prisoners for trial, some of the offences being of a very serious
character, and it is expected that this number will be in-
creased to 300 before the grand jury are discharged.
In the Court of Common Pleas, an action was brought
against a Mr. Corry, one of the sub-contractors on the
Preston and Wye Railway, by another contractar on the
same line, named Gosling. Mr. Corry, in consequence of a
dispute with the plaintiff about the purchase money of some
timber, caused an advertisement to be inserted in the line
and Cry, describing the plaintiff's person, age, height, &c., in
the same way as for felons, and offering a reward for his
apprehension. For this libel the action was brought. The
writing of the letter having been proved to the satisfaction
of the jury, they gave their verdict for the plaintiff—

THE AMEERS OF SINDE.

Mr. ROEBUCK gave notice that he would move the
following resolution upon the motion of the Noble Lord,
the Member for Dorset (Lord Ashley), "That the conduct
pursued by Lord Auckland, as Governor-General of
India, in his negotiations wit h the Ameers of Sinde, was
iniquitous and unjust towards them, and impo-
litic with regard to British dominion in In-
dia, and that the policy of Lord Ellenborough
was unfortunately the necessary result of the unwise
policy pursued by his predecessor ; and that while the
restoration of the Ameers to their former dominion
would be dangerous to British interests, and therefore
impossible, humanity required that they should be
treated in a manner consistent with their former position."

THE Public are respectfully informed that the
Warehouse for the Sale of the above PATENT BRUSHES is
now opened, where the various kinds applicable to the patent may
be obtained. Also, wholesale arid for exportation—Hair Brushes,
for their penetrating properties and pleasing action, which are highly
recommended, and allowed to be a decided improvement—Clothes
Brushes, for their flexibility and conformity to the shape in their use,
as well as preserving the nap of the finest cloth—Horse Brushes
(truly the groom's friend); this brush stands unrivalled, it is diffi-
cult adequately to describe the advantages obtained by its flexibility
when in use. The Flesh, Shoe, Stove, and other Brushes, possess
great: advantages over the ordinary stiff backs, for it will be found
that all brushes hitherto made wear out at the extremities, leaving
little of the middle worn, whereas the PATENT FLEXIBLE-BACK
BRUSHES wear alike throughout.

The " Recollections of a Sportman's Life," by a

contiLued, and though there is nothing remarkable
about them in the way of talent, yet they may serve
well enough to amuse an idle hour. "Wild Sports

culars respecting a day's buffalo-hunting among the
prairies of Texas. Of the two engravings, the best

perty of the Marquis of Westminster.

HAND-BOOK FOR TRAVELLERS IN IRE.

I AND. By James Fraser.
This is a new edition of the " Guide through Ire-
land," Ni hich has already passed through several
editions. Little, therefore, need be said in recom-
mendation of a work of established reputation. We
need only state that the information it contains has
been largely added to, more copious notices of the
metropolis and its environs have been given, and the
publication of the Ordnance maps and the census of
Ireland, has enabled the author to append much
valuable matter, of which the former editions were
destitute.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES.

SlR,—The following admirably.drawn protest against the passing
of the Corn 8111 in March, 1 6 15, may, at the present moment be
worthy of insertion in your paper. It is known,. I believe, to
have been written by Lord Grenville. I have omitted the tlfth

and last divisions of the protest, because they refer solely to then
existing circumstances and facts.

I am, &c.

Feb. 5.
Dissentient—

1. Because we are adverse in principle to all new restraints on
commerce. We think it certain that public prosperity is best pro-
moted by leaving uncontrolled the freecurrent of national industry;
and we wish rather, by well-considered steps, to bring back our
commercial legislation to the straight and simple line of wisdom,
than to increase the duration, by subjecting additional and extensive
branches of the public interest to fresh systems of artificial and in..
jurious restriction.
2. Because we think that the great practical rule of leaving all
commerce unfettered applies more peculiarly, and on still stronger
grounds of justice as well as of policy, to the corn trade than to
any otker. Irresistible indeed must be that necessity which could.
in our judgment, authorise the Legislature to tamper with the sus-
tenance of the people, and to impede the free purchase and sale of
that article on which depends the existence of so large a portion of
the community. . . _

3. Because we think that the expectations of ultimate benefit
from this measure are founded on a delusive theory. We cannot
persuade ourselves that this law will ever contribute to produce
plenty, cheapness, or steadiness of price. So long as it operates at
all its effects must be the opposite of these. Monopoly is the parent
of scarcity, of dearness, and of uncertainty. To cut off any of the
sources of supply can only tend to lessen its abundance; to close
against ourselves the cheapest market for any commodity must
enhance the price at which we purchase it; and to confine the
consumer of corn to the produee of his own country, is to refine
to ourselves the benefit of that provision which Providence itself
has made for equalising to man the variations of season and of
climate.

And on all these grounds we are anxious to record our dissent
from a measure so precipitate in its course, and, as we fear, so in.
jurious in its consequences.

MERCHANT SEAMEN'S FUND.

Mr. W. GLADSTONE, in rising to move for a Se-
lect Committee to inquire into the Merchant Seamen's
Fund, said that it was essential that some steps should
be taken with regard to this body. It was a subject of
eonsiderable difficulty, and one which called for the most
serious attention. There were two reasons which in-
duced her Majesty's Government to call for a Select
Committee, the first of which was, that the subject had
been before a Select Committee already, and they would,
consequently, have the assistance and advice of many
gentlemen who had previously turned their attention
to the matter; and next, that the seamen were a class of
men who had the strongest claims upon their sympathies,
and were of all others the least likely, from their habits,
to bring their grievances before Parliament.
Mr. LABOUCHERE said he could not agree with
the Right Hon. Gentleman as to the necessity of ap-
pointing this Committee, inasmuch as one had sat
before upon the same subject. When he (Mr. Labou-
chere) held the same office as that occupied by the Right
Hon. Gentleman he thought it was right that the matter
should undergo investigation before the Government
proceeded to legislate upon it ; but in the present in-
stance the matter had been already considered by a
Committee of this House, who published a most vo-
luminous report, and made distinct proposals, recom-
mending an alteration in the law affecting this fund.
Sir C. NAPIER was glad that the Right Hon. Gen-
tleman had taken up this matter, and if his suggestion
or assistance could be of any use to that Right Hon.
Gentleman be should be most happy to act as one of the
Committee.
Mr. GLADSTONE explained.

After a few words from Mr. RICE,
Mr. HUME said that he had a number of petitions on
the subject. The people of Montrose and other sea-
port towns were anxious to be allowed to lay their
grievances before the Committee. That was their re-
quest. He had no objection to the Committee, but he
hoped there would be legislation on the subject next
session.—The motion was then agreed to.

ning, must surely be regarded as a point of very
great importance; and when we consider the terrible
loss of life and- property which has occurred in our
navy only 111 the course of the last half cen-
tury, we hold it as a duty to our naval and commer-
cial interests generally to place such facts as those to
which we have alluded fairly before the public.
Between the years 1809 and 1815—viz., six years,
no less than thirty sail of the line, and fifteen frigates,
are known to have been disabled by lightning; a
great
number of seamen either killed or crippled by
the same agency. The Repulse lost the service of no
less than twenty men by lightning, in the Bay of
Roses, in August, 1813, ten of them were killed on
the spot; and the squadron lost the efficient services of
one of its fastest ships, from the crippled state of the
masts. It has been calculated, from the cases detailed
in the official log-books of her Majesty's ships, depo-
sited at the Admiralty, that the country, during the
last war, did not expend at the least a sum short of
10,000/. annually, in consequence of the damage sus-
tained by our shipping, by lightning, in various parts
of the world.—Plymouth Herald.

London, England, 1844-02-06

BY TIIE HALF PREMIUM PLAN only one-half of the first
seven years' premium is required, the other half being payable at
at the convenience of the assured ; thus allowing a Policy to be
continued for seven years at one-half of the usual rate, or to be
dropped at one-half of the usual sacrifice, and entitling the assured,
seven years hence, when loss of health may prevent him front
effecting a new Assurance, to continue a Policy at a rate of premium
applicable to an age seven years younger. The Ilalf-premium plan
of Assurance, as practised by this Company, thus enables persons
to retain to their own use the one-half of the premiums for the
first seven years, at Cl. per cent. interest. Thus, suppose the or-
dinary premium for an assurance of 50C1. to be let, the first pay-
ment by the half-premium plan will be five guineas, being the one-
half of the 151., and interest for the retained half; and, if deatk
should occur in the first year, the sum of 500/. would be paid less the
51. retained. The assured may thus have the use for the first year
of 01. ; for the second, of 151. ; and so on till the end of the
seventh year, when the retained sums, amounting to 351., may either
be repaid, or retained at 51. per cent. interest until death, when the
351. would be subtracted from the 50C1. then payable by the Company.

. At the Court of Exchequer another revenue case was tried,
arising out of the Custom-house frauds. 11r. Dean, the de-
fendant, carried on a silk business in St. Paul's Churchyard,
at the time to which this action goes back, but he has now
ceased to do so. It has been brought against him for having
removed goods, knowing the duties thereon to have been
unpaid in part. The case of the Crown having closed, the
Attorney-General consented to allow it to stand over till
the sittings after term, the defendant not being prepared
with his defence.

The session of the Central Criminal Court, at the Old
Bailey, commenced yesterday. There are at present 250
prisoners for trial, some of the offences being of a very serious
character, and it is expected that this number will be in-
creased to 300 before the grand jury are discharged.
In the Court of Common Pleas, an action was brought
against a Mr. Corry, one of the sub-contractors on the
Preston and Wye Railway, by another contractar on the
same line, named Gosling. Mr. Corry, in .consequence of. a
disputa with the plaintiff about the purchase money of some
timber, caused an advertisement to be inserted in the Ifue
and Cry, describing the plaintiff's person, age, height, &c., in
the same way as for felons, and offering a reward for his
apprehension. For this, libel the action was brought. The
writing of the letter having been proved to the satisfaction
of .the jury, they gave their verdict for the plaintiff—
