" What can all this money be for ? It is evident
WE are to have no account of it !"

Who are we to whom the League are thus hive- I
ratively called upon to account? Is it the House of
Commons or the Agricultural Protection Society to
whom they are to render their accounts ? Or does
Mr. O'Brien, in his own person, assume the editorial,
the regal, or the omnipotent WE, elect himself the
magnanimous patron and representative of the public,
and assume the office of accountant-general for all
mankind ? Perhaps in his retirement amidst the
umbragious groves of Blutterwyche, or the waving
woods of Crattoe, he may find sufficient employment
in preparing the accounts of the Agricultural Pro-
tection Society and its numerous branches, which, if
we may judge from the specimens before us, he will
find no very easy matter.
We have already exceeded the space which we
proposed to allot to the pamphlet under consideration ;
but we cannot lay it aside without noticing the
grievous complaints of Mr. O'Brien against the,
League for "meddling with the registration books,'
and interfering with elections." There is nothing of
more importance to the people at large than a close
and scrutinising attention to the registration of
electors. Societies have been formed for this purpose,
not in the metropolitan boroughs only, but in many
other parts, ever since the Reform ct was passed;
these societies have pursued their labours zealously
and usefully, without objection from any party; and
we see no reason why the League should be
prevented from lending their powerful aid, in order
to complete a pure and perfect register. We col.--
dially approve of their measures for tnis purpose, be-
cause we believe they will perform their duty
honestly and effectually ; and we have reason to
know that a very beneficial result has already been
produced with regard to the register of the City of
Londan.

On the subject of "interference with elections,"
Mr. O'Brien's remarks are particularly unfortunate.
"If it be not contrary to the letter of our law, it
is at least abhorrent to the spirit of our Con-
stitution." The palmy days of Gatton and
Old Sarum—" et id genus omne"—are passed.
and gone. The direct, palpable, unblushing nomi-
nation of members, happily .no longer exists; but
undue influence and interference in elections is one of
the crying evils of the present day : not the interfe-
rence of information and instruction—not the fair
and open interference of putting down bribery—not
the honest and legitimate interference of mind and
intelligence—but the immoral, unjust interference of
power, and money, and terror, which produce an
infinitely worse effect on the minds and principles of
the people than all the pocket boroughs of schedule A
put together.

THE INTEGRITY of the HYGEIAN,

OR MORISONIAN SYSTEM OF MEDICINE.

The British College of Health hereby cautions the
public against those persons who, in order to obtain a
sale for their medicines, pirate and fraudulently ascribe
the Hygeian, or Morisonian system of medicine, to some
eminent doctor or other not in existence, or to parties
noted in history for having attained an extraordinary old
age (in some instances making whole extracts out of
Mr. Morison's work).
In the contest now going on between Doctors and Hy-
geists, it is of the utmost importance that the integrity of
the Hygeian, or Morisonian theory, should be maintained.
Issued by Morison, Moat, and Co., of the British Col-
lege of Health, New-road, London, for and on behalf of
the body of Hygeists.

MOROCCO.
BLOCKADE OF MOGADORE, &c.

The following was received at Lloyd's yesterday :
" Gibraltar, August 31, 1844.

" Sir,—l have to announce, for the iniiirmation of the
Committee,- that her Majesty's steamer Vesuvius, which
I stated in my last (of 24th inst.) was daily expected from
Mogadore, arrived here on the following day, bringing
our Consul, Mr. Willshire, his family, and most a
the English residents at Mogadore.
" It appears, from the intelligence she brought, that
the French squadron had silenced the batteries at Moga-
dore on the atternoon of the 15th instant, and no fire
was returned by the Moors on the 16th ; the said fleet
poured in shot and shell during the whole of that day
to complete the destruction of that city. In the after-
noon the wild Arabs entered it and committed acts of
atrocity and plunder, by which the European and
Jewish inhabitants were the principal sufferers.
" Mr. Wiltshire and family, in the dead of the night
of the 16th, succeeded in getting to the water-port, from
which spot one of his clerks plied off on a raft he had
constructed, to communicate with the French brig
Cassaid ; from her he obtained a boat to remove the
Consul and his family
" Oa the evening of the 15th, after a heavy can-
nonade (alluded to in the P.S. of my dispatch of the
18th), the island opposite Mogadore was carried by
a,sault. The Moors, having no means of escape, kept
up a deadly fire of musketry on the storming party,
which it is said killed and wounded a considerable num-
ber of the French troops, including some officers.
" Mogadore has been declared in a state of blockade,
and in the waters of the island (now occupied by a strong
French garrison) will be stationed a naval division, to
enforce the interdiction. They are fortifying this island,
and public attention is much directed to their possession
of so important a point, as it commands both the town
and the harbour of Mogadore, which is the principal
commercial seaport of Morocco.
" On the 28th instant a French force, consisting of
a line-&-battle ship, frigate, store-ship, and steamer,
passed the Straits from east to west, and were seen after-
wards steering down the western coast of Barbary—sup-
posed for the purpose of reinforcing the island, and pro-
bably to keep possession also of Mogadore. Her Ma-
jesty's ships Formidable and Scout immediately put to
sea in the same direction. The Admiral, Sir Edward
Owen, shifted his flag to H. M. steamer Vesuvius, in the
Mole, where she is undergoing some repairs.
"The Groenland, one of the largest of the French war-
steamers, was totally lost on the west coast of Morocco,
on some rocks about three leagues from Larache, on the
26th inst. The Moors immediately commenced an
attack upon the vessel, which had lasted full four hours,
when fortunately the steamer Vidette arrived to her
assistance, succeeded in dispersing the Moorish soldier 4,
and received on board the crew and such things as could
be saved from the wreck. In the afternoon the Prince
de Joinville, in the Pluton, also arrived on that part of
the coast, and finding it impossible to float the Groen-
land, caused her to be destroyed by fire. It is supposed
that his Royal Highness was steering for Cadiz, to meet
the Due de Glueksberg, who is on some special mission
from the French Government, the nature of which has
not transpired.
Two days ago his Excellency H. L. Bulwer, Esq.
(British Minister to the Spanish Court), returned from
his second visit to Tangiers in the Hecla steamer, on his
return to the capital, via Cadiz and Seville.
" It appears, by a semi-official communication, that
his Excellency's exertions, combined with those of Mr.
Hay, our able and indefatigable Consul-General and
Charge d'Affaires at Tangiers, that a complete recon-
ciliation has been effected between the Sovereigns of
Spain and Morocco, so that the Spanish Consul at Tan-
giers will return thither to resume his functions in the
course of a fortnight ; and I trust that the ratification of
so desirable a settlement of the Spanish question will not
be frustrated at Madrid by the undue influence of any
foreign Power.
"An order has been recently received from Madrid
by the Captain-General at Cadiz, for the frigate
Christina, and corvette Venus, to return to Tangier Bay,
by which it is inferred that the happy result of the
negotiations adverted to could not of course have been
known in that capital when that order was issued.
" Rumours are afloat that the French contemplate a
second attack on Tangiers, and, if so, probably its occu-
pation, but I cannot trace the report to any credible
source. They frequently call at Tarifa, but for what
object is not known.

LLOYD'S SHIPPING.
NOTICE TO MARINERS.
LIGHTS ON THE COAST OF NORWAY.

The following has been received at Lloyd's:—
" Hydrodgraphic-office, Norway, Sept. 3, 1844.
"In pursuance of the intentions expressed in the
notice of this office, dated the 18th June last, the follow-
ing lights were to be established by the Norwegian
Government on the let of this month:—
" 1. A fixed light on Great Torungen Island, "in
lat. 58 deg., 23 min., 15 see. N., and lon. 8 deg., 52 min.,
30 sec. E.
" 2. A fixed light on Little Torungen Island, bearing
from the light on Great Torungen Island N., 4 deg. E.,
line 1, or by compass N.N.E., distant 1,237 yards.
" Both of the above lights are visible in all directions,
and being 130 feet above the level of the sea, may be
seen at the distance of six to seven leagues.
"3. A fixed light on Sandoig Point, at the entrance
to Arendahl, forty-two feet above the level of the sea,
visible from three to four leagues on any bearing west-
ward of south and E.N.E. by compass, unless concealed
by adjacent land. The lighthouse stands in 58 deg.,
25 min., 30 sec. N., and long. 8 deg., 52 min., 10 sec. E.
" The buildings of the above three lights are white."

THE EYES.-39, Xlbemarle-street, Piccadilly.—
Optical Improvements to enable persons at an advanced
age to read with ease, and to discriminate objects with
perfect distinctness; and Small Acoustic Instruments for
Relief of extreme Deafness, &c.—Messrs. S. and B.
Solomons, opticians, have invented spectacle lenses, &c.,
of the greatest transparent power. The valuable advan-
tage derived from this invention over the spectacles now
in common use is, that instead of the vision becoming
strained, heated, weakened, and in numerous cases
seriously injured, it is preserved and strengthened, and
very aged pers.-ins are enabled to employ their sight at
the most minute occupation, and can see with those
lenses of a much less magnifying power, and that which
is a matter of the greatest consequence is, that they do
not require the frequent changes to further helps. Also
Achromatic Telescopes, Opera Glasses, Microscopes,
Invisible and all kinds of Acoustic Instruments for relief
of extreme deafness. Caution—Messrs. S. and B. Solo-
mons, Opticians and Aurists, are not in any way con-
nected with a person of the same name in their imme-
diate neighbourhood ; nor in any part of the country.
To prevent mistakes be cautious, and observe—Only to
he had at 39, Albemarle-street, Piccadilly, opposite the
York Hotel.
NORTH LANCASHIRE.—The Tory candidate for the
vacancy created by Lord Stanley's resignation is Mr.
11. Talbot Clifton, who has consented to act, if elected'
as " warming-pan" for Lord Stanley's eldest son, now
iu his nineteenth year.
