OPINIONS OF THE PRESS.
"We regard the work before us, The Silent Friend,' as a
work embracing most clear and practical views of a series of com-
plaints hitherto little understood, and passed over by the majority of
the Medical profession, for what reason we are at a loss to know.
We must, however, confess that a perusal of this work has left such
a favourable impression on our minds, that we not only recommend,
but cordially wish every one who is the victint of past folly, or suffer.
ing from indiscretion, to profit by the advice contained in its pages."
—Age and Argus.
The Authors of The Silent Friend' seem to be thoroughly
conversant with the treatment of a class
of complaints which are, we
fear, too prevalent in the present day. The perspicuous style in
which this book is written, and the valuable hints it conveys to
those who are apprehensive of entering the marriage state, cannot
fall torecommend it to a careful perusal."—Era.

MARYLEBONE.-(THIS DAY.)

Margaret Reed, a young woman, was charged with
assaulting the police, and with having a watch in her
possession, supposed to have been stolen.
Police-constable, 85 D, said between six and seven
o'clock this morning he saw the defendant and a young
man get into a cab in Lisson-grove. A person told him
that he had seen her in a public-house with a watch in
her possession, which he thought had been stolen from
spine person. Witness stopped the cab. The defendant
immediately jumped out of the cab, and the watch fell
out of her breast. The young man ran off. She struck
the constable repeatedly.—She was remanded until Sa-
turday.

CLERKENWELL.—(THIS DAY.)
A lad named 'Bryant was charged with stealing a
quantity of leather and woollen cloth, value 71., the pro-
perty of Mr. Hitchin, a. respectable tradesman, residing
in Gray's Inn-road.—He was committed for trial.
William Osman, and Mary, his wife, were placed in
the felons' dock, charged with a, wholesale robbery of
ready-furnished lodgings. - -
Mrs. Legatt, housekeeper, residing in Brewer-street,
Islington, deposed that in the commencement of the kpre-
sent year the prisoners came to lodge with her. As
they seemed decent people, witness did not suspect
their integrity. It was, however, discovered, on the
previous day, that the prisoners had completely gutted
the apartment 'of its contents—furniture, bed-clothes,
and even the feather-beds. Not content with rifling
their own apartments, they extended their pillaging into
the adjoining ones, which they denuded of their most
valuable contents. Some idea may be formed of the
extent of the plunder, from the fact that eighty-seven
duplicates were found on their persons when arrested,
which do not comprehend anything like the amount of
property disposed of. Police-constable 167 N took them
into custody.
The prisoners partly acknowledged their guilt. A
large portion of the plunder was produced in Court; but
Mr. Combe remanded them for further inquiries.

LOUIS PHILIPPE'S JOURNEY TO DOVER BY THE
DOVER RAILWAY.-It gives us extreme pleasure in
being able to state, that his Majesty the King of the
French has, through Colonel Wemyss, conveyed to the
officers of the Dover Company an expression of his ex-
treme :approval of the manner in which the arrange-
ments for his transit had, from first to last, been con-
ducted. His Majesty expressed much regret at the fire
which was raging at New-cross on his arrival, inquired
anxiously as to whether the Company were insured,
and finding they were, evinced much pleasure. The
journey occupiea ;:nd his Majesty bore it, from
the known smoothness of the line, with apparently little
fatigue.— Times.

charged with forging the name of James William
Car, his brother, to varions documents, whereby he
had defrauded him of considerable property.
A solicitor appeared for the prosecutor, and stated
that his client was possessed of freehold property in
the neighbourhood of Cow-cross, and had on no occa-
sion sold or assigned it. He went abroad about 16
years ago, and on his return a few months since, he
found that all his property had been mortgaged and
sold to the prisoner. Some portion of it he regained
by actions in the Queen's Bench ; but other property
had been sold by the prosecutor, who signed his name
to the conveyance.
Mr. TRAILL inquired where the deeds were now ?

The solicitor replied, that they were in the hands of
a FOlicitor in Red Lion•square, where they were
egned._

Mr. TEAILL said that the deeds must be produced.
He asked the prisoner whether he wished to say any-
thing in answer to the charge ?
The prisoner acknowledged signing his brother's
name, but he did not receive any consideration for it.
He then informed the magistrate that a few years ago
he was in reduced circumstances, when a man, named
Price, came to him, and said that he could get him
some money to start in business if he could give some
security by placing deeds in the parties hands. Several
documents were shown him, which he signed, but never
received any consideration for it.
Mr. Them. said that his not receiving considera-
tion did not alter the charge, but, as the offence was
committed in another district, the charge must be
investigated there.
The prisoner was then taken to Clerkenwell Police
court, by Winch, 40 M, to undergo an examinatio
at that place.

LAW » POLica.

In the Court of Exchequer an action was brought by
Mr. Holman, " a Lloyd's surveyor," to recover com-
pensation from Mr. Brightman and another, representing
the British Maritime Assurance Company, for a libel,
imputing to him neglect. indiscretion, and misrepreen-
tation in a report made by him respecting the condition
of a vessel called the Brutus. Verdict for the plaintiff
—Damages, 501.
Moro than one-third of the number of prisoners tried
at Stafford were totally uneducated, included among
whom are the two youths, Downing, 19, and Powys, 19,
who are condemned for the murder of the gamekeeper.
At Bow-street, Ebenezer Paron Ilingston, the pro-
sector to 1)r. Todd, at King's College, Somerset-home,
was brought up for final examination, charged with
stealing from a cupboard in the porter's room at that
place a coat and other articles, the property of Mr.
John Farmer, of 1 Wellington-street, Strand. The
prisoner was further remanded, to allow of other cases
being inquired into, but the witnesses in three cases
were bound over to prosecute.

POSLEIXOIO.

The Queen of Portugal prorogued the Cortes in per-
son on the 14th. Very destructive storms had taken
place off the Portuguese coast, by which several lives had
been lost.
In the Spanish Senate the report of the Constitution
Befarm Bill was brought up on the 16th, the Archbishop
of Toledo having been elected president of that com-
mittee. The committee approves of the Bill.
The Custelluno mentions the departure of M. Gonzales
Bravo for Lisbon.

A letter from Logrono, of the 16th, expresses the
hope that the prosecution instituted against General
Iturhe, M. Gamboa, Colonel Bousingault, &c., will end
in the royal `nervy being extended to them. It was also
expected that, in a day or two, the proclamation which
had proclaimed Logrono in a state of siege, would be
revoked.

A letter from Turin states, that considerable sensation
had been produced in that city early in the present
month, by the violation of the Sardinian territory by a
body of French gendarmes, douaniers, and other armed
soldiers, who arrested some Sardinian subjects, and car-
ried them prisoners to Grenoble, to answer for alleged
thefts committed in a forest on the French side of the
frostier.

Accounts from Constantinople announce that Dr.
Wolff had arrived in safety at Teheran.
His Imperial highness the Duke of Leuchtenberg has
returned to Munich from Eichstadt, where his Imperial
Highness has been enjoying the sports of the field. The
Duke purposes to be in St. I'etersburgh on New Year's-
day, which, according to the Greek calendar, corresponds
with the 12th of January.
The Obsereateur Smiesse contains the following from
Lucerne :—" The Central Government was seised with
the greatest alarm on learning that numerous meetings
had been held at Fraubrunnen and Zofinger. It
immediately called out the Landwehr and for-
warded troops from Schwyz towards the frontier of
the canton, in order to be able to enter Lucerne
at the first signal. Numerous attempts at inoen-
dierism have been made in the canton of Lucerne. The
Pope's Nuncio has congratulated the Director of the
Vorort on having overcome the party opposed to the Je-
suits." The Messager Suisse, after complaining in bitter
terms of the apathy of the people of Lucerne, expressed
indignation at the want of energy evinced in the execu-
tion of a plan of operation skilfully combined, and at the
absence of th• assistance promised by other cantons.

THAMES POLICE.

James Bridgeman was finally examined yesterday on
the charge of stealing several tools, the property of
John Cross, of No. 6, Tichborne-court, Holborn. The
facts of the case have already appeared in the The Sun.
The prisoner, it will be remembered, was dug out
of the flue of the vestry-room of the Union Chapel,
Bow-lane, Poplar, on the morning of Saturday week,
where his groans throughout the night alarmed the
whole neighbourhood. He was taken by Plowright,
the constable, who rescued him from the perilous
position in which he was fixed in a state of uncon-
sciousness, to the station-house, and thence to the
London Hospital, whence he was brought to this
Court on the ensuing Monday, charged with being
found in the flue for the purpose of committing a
felony. As, however, the Act of Parliament 7th and
Bth George IV., cap. 29, to constitute a burglary in
a house of worship requires that something
should be stolen, and as no property had
been taken by the prisoner, the charge could not be
supported. He was, however, remanded on the charge
of burglary at Mr. Cross's, whose house he broke
open in the night, carrying off tools and other articles
of property, as far back as 1842.
The prisoner was fully committed yesterday, to
take his trial at the next session of the Central
Criminal Court.

SUN, Nov. 14, 1844,

This work has now reached its forty-sixth annual publication,
and latterly it has been brought out on such a comprehensive, cor.
mt, and extensive system, that it has driven all competitors from
the field.
The " Postal Directory," which has been compiled with great
care, furnishes complete instruction as to the dispatch of letters
and newspapers to all parts of the world ; and the list of the princi.
pal places in England and Wales has been greatly enlarged.
There is also a useful notice respecting the obliterating stamps
used at the post.office, with the list of the towns and the respective
figures prefixed, which shows at once the place where the letter is
posted, and thereby remedies a very common defect—the illegibility
of the country post.office mark of the town.
Besides these, there are several other improvements which
contribute materially to the convenience of consulting a work so
multifarious, and which contains not fewer than 1,980 pages of
close, but very distinct, letter-press. This Directory is, perhaps,
the most complete manual of the kind ever published.
WEEKLY DISPATCH, Nov. 17, 1844.

The" Post Office London Directory," which is published by the
Messrs. Kelly, of Old Boswell.court, is now before us. This edi-
tion for 1845, contains a vast increase of useful matter when corn.
pared with former ones. One Important department now added,
is that which gives an official return of the amount of the circula-
tion of notes by all private and joint-stock banks. Another divi.
sion of the work affords the most minute description of the extent
and population of London. The size of the volume is greatly in.
creased, and it is now decidedly the best, most comprehensive, and
most useful work of the kind ever issued from the press.
BRITANNIA, Nov. 16, 1844.

This pyramid of the publishing world comes out this year with
increased claims to public favour. But it is a pyramid only in its
vaitness, its substance, and the Immense labour employed to put it
together. Instead of being the sepulchre of one man it is the hive
of a living million, a vast storehouse of facts, a library of commer-
cial instruction, what fur the year the Times newspaper is for the
day—a publication that no other city of the world could or can
produce. There is no item of information which can by possibility
be supposed to be contained in a " London Directory" that is not
to be found in this. The work is perfect and complete of its kind,
and as such we recommend it to the notice of the commercial
world, though, indeed, by this time its merits are so well known
that it needs little recommendation of ours.

THE HALF-PREMIUM plan of Assurance, as practised
by this Conapany, enables persons to retain to their own use
the one-half of the premiumi for the first seven years at.s/. per
cent. interest. Thus, suppose the ordinary premium for ari
assurance of 5001. to be 101., the first payment by the half-
premium plait will be _five guineas, being the one-half of .the
101., and interest for the retained half ; and if death should
occur in the first year, the sum of 5001. would be paid less the
Si. retained. The assured may'thus have the use for the first
year of Si. ; for the second of 101. ; and 'so on till the end of
the seventh year, when the retained sums, amounting to 351.,
may either las, repaid, or retained at Si. per cent. interest until
death, when the 351. would be subtracted from the 500/. then
payable by the Company.
Every information may be obtained by personal or written
application to the Agents of the Coinpany, or to the Manager
in London. •

TO T111,,' EDITOR OF THE SUN.

observe in your paper of last evening a sneering let-
ter, signed " Gordius," attacking my proposal of fixing a silver
measure of value in accordance vith the last twenty-five years
average value of the bushel of wheat, and recommending as a
more intelligible measure the reduction of the price of wheat by
an increase in the contents of the bushel. I suppose from the
compo,ition of the letter, that it emanates from ore of that
class who know more about muck than they du about money,
but who have not yet ascertained, according to the maxim of
Lord Bacon, "that money is like muck, of little use unless it
be well spread." As I make it a rule never to write without
subscribing my own name, so I also make it a rule never to
enter upon an argument with those who write anonymously ;
and if a letter which I addressed to the Morning Post yesterday
does not explain to " Gordius" the great difference in the
operation of our two plans, I will, upon learning who he is,
with great plea,ure explain to him, through your paper, what
would be the result of each of them. Meantime I feel that
the subject under consideration, the town of Birmingham, and
myself, are far bevord the sneers of the enlightened philosophers
of Ilfracombe.— •Vours respectfully, G. F. NUNTZ.

THE HALF-PREMIUM plan of Assurance, as practised
by this Company, enables persons to retain to their own use
the one-half of the premiums for the first seven years at 5/. per
cent. interest. Thus, suppose the ordinary premium for an
assurance of 5001. to be 1C L, the first payment by the half-
premium plan will be five guineas, being the one-half of the
10/., and interest for the retained half; and if death should
occur in the first year, the sum of 500/. would be paid less the
Si. retained. The assured may thus have the use for the first
year of 5/. ; for the second of 10/. ; and so on till the end of
the seventh year, when the retained sums, amounting to 351.,
may either be rupaid, or retained at 51. per cent. interest until
death, when the :35/. would be subtracted from the 5001. then
payable by the Company.
