The Fourth Edition of
'FATE'S MODERN CAMBIST, forming
IL a Manual of Exchanges in the various operations of
Bills of Exchanges and Bullion, is now ready for delivery, price
12s. bound in cloth.

The greater portion of this work has been re-written, and the
whole has been brought to entirely coincide with the present
Monetary Systems and Metrology of Foreign States, and
the Currencies of the British Colonies. Severn important ad-
ditions have also been made; the new French Tariffs for Gold
and Silver, with the Spanish Valuations of these Metals, have
beeu introduced ; and, in short, no exertion has been spared to
merit a crntinuation of that preference which this treatise has
hitherto obtained as a standard authority by practical Cambiats.

This Work, a Seventh Edition of which is now presented to
the public, ten thousand copies have been exhausted since its
first appearance, has been very much improved and enlarged
by the addition of a more extended and clear detail of general
principles, as also by the insertion of several new and highly in-
teresting cases. The book, as has been already stated, is the
result of very ample and daily increasing experience in a class
of diseases, which, for some unaccountable reason, have been
either altogether overlooked, or treated almost with indiffer-
ence, by the ordinary medical practitioner. The proverbial
and well known rapacity of unqualified practitioners, who
traffic on the health and credulity of patients, has been en-
couraged and aroused by this supineness, on the part of the
regular surgeon. In order to obviate the pernicious effects
sure to result from the practices of such pretenders, the
authors have fur a considerable time devoted themselves ex-
clusively to a certain class of diseases ; of the necessity of so
doing, they were further convinced by feeling that tact in in-
vestigating the latent sources of many diseases, which arise
from certain secret praetices, can only be acquired by an ex-
clusive and undivided attention to this department of medical
practice. The numberless instances daily occurring, whersin
affections of the lungs, putting on all the outer appearances of
consumption, which, however, when traced to their source,
are found to result from certain baneful practices, fully proves
that the principle of the division of labour, is nowhere more
applicable than in medical practice. We feel no hesitation in
saying that there is no member of society by whom the book
will not be found useful, whether such person hold the relation
of a Parent, a Preceptor, or a Clergyman.
The PARENT, who beholds his beloved child pining
away, and fast approaching to a premature grave, in conse-
quence of some disease, which, for want of careful investiga-
tion of its real cause, has been set down to the score of con-
sumption, will, on perusing this work, be astonished to find,
that in nine-tenths of the cases of young persons of both
sexes, who perish of what is called pulmonary consumption,
heart disease, tabes, &c., the sole and exclusive origin has
been the indulgence in certain destructive habits practised by
youth much more frequently than it is at all suspected.
The PRECEPTOR, also, who holds (temporarjay at
least), the relation and responsibility of a parent, will,
by perusing this work, be directea and very much
assisted in investigating and detecting the too often con-
cealed practices so often introduced into schools, whereby the
health and ultimately the lives of his pupils are sure to be com-
promised, unless the evil be arrested in proper time. He will
here find a clue to guide him through the intricate mazes of
this moral labyrinth, and a standard whereby to judge, when
delicacy of health should appear to attack any of his young
charges, what the real causes of such attack may be, and thus
he will be enabled to check the evil in its incipient state.
The CLERGYMAN, in whose sacred character is at once
concentrated the two-fold relation of parent and instructor, will
here be directed as to the nature of those habits to which
youth is addicted ; he will also be enabled to point out the dis-
astrous consequences which are sure to follow from them if not
relinquished.

Country Patients are requested to be as minnte as possible in
the detail of their cases—as to the duration of the complaint,
the symptoms, age, general habits of living, and occupation in
life of the party ; the communication must be accompanied by

whatever can be taken of their application ; and in all oases. the

A letter from Caen (Calvaclor) of 30th Jan., says :
"Yesterday evening at ten o'clock, a fire broke out in
the central prison of Beaulieu, where there were 1,500
prisoners. Assistance Nras very speedily brought, but
it was not till after several hours of unremitting exer-
tions, seconded by many thousand citizens, that they
succeeded in saving the whole north part of the magni-
ficent establishment of Beaulieu, the finest of the
kind in France. Of the south wing., only the wall re-
mains, only part of the goods in the workshops were
saved, and almost all the machines were destroyed, with
the works in progress. The loss is immense, and may
be estimated at the least at 1,500,000 or 1,800,000 francs.
Some of the prisoners distinguished themselves by their
intrepidity, and not one attempted to escape.—Constitu-
tionneL
THE KIRK.-----The crisis in the Kirk, which
has all along been predicted by calm on-lookers, has at length
dawned on the Non-Intrusion leaders, but too late to enable
them to pause in their wild career. On Monday they had a
meeting in this city of their friends, for the purpose of pro-
elaiming their embarrassments, and endeavouring to excite
public sympathy. The principal speakers were Mr. Cunning-
ham, Mr. Guthrie, and Dr. Candlish. Forsaken by the Go-
vernment, contemned by their own Presbyteries, and neglected
or derided by the people, nothing is left for them but separation
from the State. This, in particular, is the tone assumed by
hopeless—is Candlish;
in the meantime, a stand—confessedly
made against patronage—against the very
means by which they themselves entered the Church. This,
to bbeut ,
however, cannot avert the explosion which is evidently at no
great distance.—Edinburgh Paper of Wed Fl esday.
DREADFUL CASE OF STARVATION.—On
Wednesday evening, the 26th ult., an inquisition was taken
before H. Churton, Esq., at Moston Hall Farm-house, in the
parish of St. Mary, Chester, on the body of Margaret Flana •
gan—she had been separated from her husband about three
years, and had been residing in Lancashire for the last twelve
months, where she supported herself and two children by
cap-making. She had been induced by her distressed circum-
stances to pawn even the clothes off her back, in order to pay
for her lodgings, and obtain bread for herself and family. She
left Preston on the previous Friday, with her daughters for the
purpose of seeing her mother, who resides in this city. On
Monday-week they walked from Birkenhead; and late on that
evening, they applied for a night's lodging at Sutton, but ap-
pealed in vain, as the people would not get up to let them in ;
they then walked on to Moston, where they arrived at twelve
o'clock at night, and where they sat down on the road-side.
Deceased complained of fatigue, and said, " Ido not think I
shall ever get up again alive." The night was very cold and
wet ; she fell asleep with both her children by her side. The
eldest, who is about *we've years of age. did not awake until
the morning*, when she found that hes mother had fallen into a I
gutter, by the bank-side, and was lying with her. youngest girl
upon her chest ; on attempting to arouse her from (as she sup-
posed) a sound slumber, it was discovered that she was quite
dead. Verdict, " Died from hunger, and exposure to the in.
clemency of the weather.-- Chester Courant.
A ROBBER SHOT.—On Tuesday night last,
the butler of Mr. James Dennis Brampton, of Dris—coe-house,
Essex, was alarmed, between two and three o'clock in the
morning, by a noise resembling the rattling of broken glass.
The sleeping-room of the butler is on the ground-floor, and
adjoins the pantry, from which direction the noise seemed
to proceed. The butler immediately arose, and cautiously
opening the door leading into the paey, he distinctly heard a
sound as though some one at the outsidei of the pantry window
were boring through the shutter with an Instrument of some
kind. Feeling certain that an attempt was being
shade to effect an entrance into the house, he took a brace of
pistols, and proceeding to a staircase.window overlookin the
three men, apparently occupied
pantry,discovered attempting
up '
to effect an entrance. He instantly threw the window and fired
one of his pistols in the direction of the robbers, One of whom
immediately fell; the remainingtwo, after standing an instant,
seized upon the body of the fallen man and disappeared, the
butler firing his other pistol after them without effect. An
alarm was instantly raised, but before any of the inmates could
manage to emerge from the house, the noise of a chaise-cart,
driven at a rapid rate, was heard, in which it is conjectured the
villains escaped.

amused himself during part of last, Saturday with mahiny
mouse-traps and catching mice !1. htihs fact is mentioned in a

In consequence of the great,inconvenience felt,
attended with injurious effects, to persons' eye-sight in the country,
by their not being enabled to be properly suited with Spectacles,

Messrs. S. and B. Solomons, Optician', 39, Albemarle-street,
Piccadilly, opposite the York llotel, and 76;

remote part of the globe can be suited with their Newly-invented
Spectacles, as correct as if the person were present; by these who
have never made use of Spectacles, stating the number of inches they
can see moderate sized print from the eye, and those who are making
use of Spectacles by sending them, and making the same statement
when in use. Immediately the Newly In rented Spectacles are
placed before imperfect vision that mist and dullness which appear
before the eyes is at ence rest oved ; every object becomes clear and
distinct, so that the most aged imperfect sight becomes bright and
brilliant, and is brought to its youthful, natural, and
original state.
