SIGHT RESTORED !—NERVOUS HEAD-ACHE

AND DEAFNESS CURED!
By the west simple; delightful, and fragrant Compound!
Its mode of application is fraught with pleasure ; many thou-
sand cures have been accomplished by its use, at a trifling ex-
pense, yet certain in its, operation. If testimonies be necessary
toi n duce the sufferer t• make trial, Kings, Lords, and Com-
mons have used it. The Lords of the Treasury have sanctioned
its use. Their late Majesties, the Duchess of Kent, the most
eminent Oculists, Medical Practitioners—with that gigantic
balance, the Press—have eulogised Grimstone's celehratesi
Herbaceous Compound, known as " Grimstone's Eye Snuff,"
for its efficacy in removing all diseases incident to the Eyes and
Head. G. J. Guthrie, Esq., F. R. S. See J. 11. Lachfield,
Esq.'s Lotter, Whitehall. Dr. Thomas. Dr. Andrews calls
it a national blessing—see his Reports touching its utility. The
late Mr. Abernethy, with many others, recommend Grim-

To Mr. W. Grimstone, 39, Broad-street, Bloomsbury, London.
Sir,-1 feel great pleasure in sending you the particulars of
my case, and the miraculous cure performed on myself, by
using sour truly valuable Eye-Snuff. Sir, I am now in my
93d year, and a native of Holland, have been in this country
26 years. Whether from change of climate, or my advanced age,
I cannot say, but for six years I have been deprived of sight,
therefore unable to follow my business. I do most sincerely
beli,nre I should have remained in darkness and pain but for
the kind recommendation of a friend to use your invention. I
purchased a 2s. 4d. canister of your agent, Mr. Wilcockson, to-
bacconist, who knows the above to be facts, an will bear wit-
ness to my extraordinary recovery of that most inestimable
blessing of our life—" Perfect Sight"—l declare has proceeded
from the use of your Eye Snuff. For the sake of those suffer-
ing, you may make what use you please of this letter, Mr. Wil-
cockson and many others will vouch for its truth. I refer the
sufferers to this gentleman, being your Agent, and so well
known in Nottingham.
I am, Sir, your obliged servant,

P. S.—Sir,—l should not do you justice without stating my
relief was almost instantaneous. My eyes became clear and
freed from humour, and by persevering in its use very fre-
quently I am enabled to read small print without the aid of
Glasses, and continue to enjoy God's greatest blessing—Sight !
free from pain. I have reason to be grateful, and do recom-
mend your Eye Snuff to all I know.

" Ihe various forms of bodily and mental weakness, incapacity,

and practical work, are almost unknown. generally misundersto,d,
and treated upon principles correspondingly erroneous and super-

necessity for the publication of a timely safeguard, a silent yet
friendly monitor, or where debility has made threatening inroads,
the means of escape and the certainty of restoration. ',the evils to
which this book adverts are extensive and identical in their secret
and hidden origin, and thore are none to whom, as Parents, Guar-
dians, Heads of Families, and especially of Publ c Schools, is con-
fided the care of young people, who ought to remain fur a moment
devoid of that information and those salutary cautions this work is
intended to convey Not only are the most delicats forms of gene-
ra ive debility neglected by the family physician, hut they require
for their s, fe management the exclusive study of a life entirely ab-
stracted from the ri,utine of general practice, and (as in other de-
partments of the profession) attentively concentrated in the daily
and long.continucd observation requisite for the correct treatment
of s •xual infirmities.
" If we consider the topics touched upon, either In a moral or
social view, we find the interests and welfare of mankind seriously
involved. The effects of licentious, indiscriminate, and secret in-
dulg n• e in cei lain practices. ar' described with an accuracy and
force which display at once profound reflect:en and extensive prac-

The best of all Friends is the Professional Friend; and in no
shape can be c nsulte.i with greater safety and secresy than in
Lucas on Manly Vigour." The initiation into vicious indulgence
—its 4 rogress—its results in buth sexes, are given with faithful, but
alas ! for human nature, with afflicting truth. However, the Authors
have not exposed the evil without affording a remedy. It shows
how " Manly Vigour" temporarily impaired, and mental and phy-
sical emasculation, produced by uncontrolled indulgence of the pas-
sions, can be restored ; how the sufferer, who has pined in anguish
'rom the consequences of early indiscretion - afraid almost to en-
counter his fellow man, can regain the vigour of health and moral
mrage. The work is written in a concise and perspicuous style,
thsplaying how often fend parents are deceived by the outward phy-
sical appearance of their youthful offspring; how the attenuation of
the frame, palpitation of the heart, derangement of the nervous
system, cough, indigestion, and a train of symptoms indicative of
consumption or general decay, are often ascribed to wrong causes,
and instead of being the natural results c f congenital debility or
disease, are the consequences of an alluring and pernicious practice
alike destructive to the mind and body."—New Bell's Weekly Mes-
senger.
" Although a newspaper is not the ordinary cha 'net for the ex-
pression of opinion upon the merits of a medical work, this remark
is open to exceptio i in any instance where the public, and not the
isolated and exclusi e members of the profession are the parties ad.
dressed. Upon that which is directed to men indiscriminately,
the world will form its own opinion, nd will demand that medical
works for public study shou'd be devoid of that mysterious techni-
cality in which the scie ice of medicine has hitherto shrouded its
own ignorance. The work before tis treats of subjects se believe ge-
nerally, yet very strangely, neglected by the medical attendant, and
requiring doubtlessly (as in operative midwifery and thesurgery of he
eye) an entire devotedness to a deeply important branch of study.
The tone o! this book is highly moral, and it abounds in well written,
harrowing, yet correct displays of the suffering consequent upon un-
bridled sensualism. No human being can l e the worse for its
perusal. To m,dtitudes it mud prove a warning beacon, a well-
told appeal to reason, a permanent blessing. It is written in a clear,
intelligent style; and is evidently the production of a mind long
and practically conversant with the diseases of the most delicate
division of tne human organisation."—Magnet.

pARR'S LIFE PILLS.
The balsamic and invigorating powers ( f this fine her-
bal medicine are wonderful ; a trial of a singe do:e will ear, y
conviction that they are all that is necess.ry to invigorate the
feeble, restore the invalid to health, and do.good in all cases.
The heads of families should always have them in the house,
as they may, with the greatest confidence, be resorted to at any
time, or in any case. Parr's Life Pills are now, from their
many virtues, the established Family Medicine.

The following wonderful cures are selected from hundreds of
a similar nature :

ABRAHAMIII r. BENTON, late of Wright-street, Derby,
has been for some time afflicted with a complication of the most
distressing internal disorders, attended with violent cough,
under which he was gradually wasting away. He had been at-
tended by surgeons, and had tried almost every kind of medi-
cine, but nothing relieved him. He still lingered on, getting
every day worse, until his life was despaired of. The cough
had become so severe that he could not get any rest, and the
most sanguine of his friends thought he could not possibly re-
cover, but a kind neighb iur, who had tested the wonderful
efficacy of Parr's Life Pills, recommended him` to try them,
and before he had taken one small box, he was able to follow
his usual occupation, without feeling the slightest symptom of
his former distressing malady.
Gratitude induced him to request that this might be made
public, for the good of his suffering fellow-creatures.

GENTLEMEN ,—I have to acknowledge with delight, the
benefit I have received from Parr's Pills, I having been at
for 14 or lb years with pains in my body and limbs,
and constant pain in my head. I applied to the first medical
men in Hull, and to the various institutions of the town, and
brought myself almost to poverty, but all to no purpose. At
length I heard of Parr's Life Pills, and after taking only two
small boxes, feel grateful to be able to add I now enjoy per-
feet health. " ELLEN HART.

THE finest System of Ethics is to confine with-
in due bounds, and thus te regulate the Passions, which
unrestrained and insubordinate, impetuously destroy those harriers
which Religion and Morality have made sacred ; to curb, but not
annihilate them, appears the lesson of prudence best calculated to
limit their effervescence.

Every disorganization of the human frame requires great medical
knowledge to remedy, and the public welfare is promoted when cro-
fessional men (disregarding the suggestions of the envious and inte-
rested) devote their studies to the treatment of those complaints ge-
nerated by imprudence and the ebullition of the passions at an un-
guarded moment. it The strength of a nation consists in the health
of the people;" but it is melancholy to reflect on the daily sacrifice
to the ignorant and unfeeli g empyricism, and tt, counteract, as far
as po'sible, its farther ravages, we offer to suffering humanity the
result of our own experience in the various disea es of Debility. The
unwary victim of solitary vice (early acquired at school, before rea-
son has asserted her right ever tre mind), will, in contemplating his
powerless state, become susceptible of enlivening sensations, in know-
ing that the most complicated state of exhaustion may be roused
into manly energy. Intense study—immoderate anxiety—long re.i.
dence in tropical Climes, and many other causes, will frequently de-
range the Nervous System; in such cases we can hold out an as-
surance of re-animation, by a treatment which has long answered
the sanguine hopes of Patients of ho h sexes.
That bane to human happiness, SYPI-II Llt, can now be treated
fearlessly, the improved state of Medical Science having divested its
anti.. ote of those distressing properties that so long centered its ex-
hibitiosi uncer ain and barrassing Some peculiarities inci.lental to
the softer sex have not esc:ped our attention ; in which mildness,
combined with efficacy, has superseded the means usually adopted.
In fine, our system is unique, Fecullarly energetic, and eminently
succe sful.

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 somnanaccountable reason, have been
either 'altogether orerittoiard:or treated almost with indiffer-
ence, by the ordinary niediCal practitioner. The proarerhial
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 se
doing, they were further convinced by feeling that tact in in-
vestigating the latent sources of many diseases, which arise
from certain secret practices, can only be acquired by an ex-
clusive and undivided attention to this department of medical
practice. The numberless instances daily occurring, wherein
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 laili)rosur, is nowhere more
applicable than in medical practice. feel ne hesitation in
saying that there is ne member of society by whom the bock
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, en perusing this work, be astonished to find,
that in nine-tenths of the case.! of Young persons of both
sexes, who perish of what is called pulmonary consumption,
heart disease, tahes, &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 (temporarjly at
least), the relation and responsibility of a parent, will,
by perusing this work, be
edirected and very much
asso often isted in investigating and d tFeting the
ereby whcon-
the
cealed practices so often introduced into schools,to
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.

INQUEST ON A CHILD.- VER-
DICT OF WILFUL MURDER.

Wednesday an inquest was held before Mr. Wakley,
M.P., Coroner, and a respectable Jury, at the Fulham
workhouse of the Kensington Union, on view of the body
of a female child, about two months old, which was
found on Friday the 7th instant, at ten o'clock at
night, on the stop of the door of Mr. J. Cotterell, No.
35, Kensington-square.
From the evidence it appeared that the deceased child
was found wrapped in a white cotton frock and cap, with
a flannel shawl over its body and head, as above de-
scribed, by a female named Begley, residing at Barlow's
Cottage, Kensington, who was attracted to the spot by its
cries. The child was taken by Dr. Merriman's coachman.
who came up at the moment, to the station-house, and
from thence to the Workhouse at Kensington. There the
child was offered to various women in the house to
stickle, but it was covered with an eruption, and none of
them would take it on that aceount. According to the
regulations of the Union it was sent on the following
Monday evening to the Fulham Workhouse. On its
arrival at the Fulham Workhouse, it was so ill that the
surgeon (Mr. Holmes) was sent for immediately.
Mr. Holmes, in his evidence, stated, that when he
first saw the deceased child, it could retain nothing in
its stomach, but vomited everything that was given to
it, and it was much emaciated. At a post mortem ex-
amination of the body, he found each organ (otherwise
healthy) presenting the appearance which belonged to
extreme exhaustion, brought about by the exposure, and
from that cause he believed that she died. There were
no external marks of injury on the body produced by
violence.

The CORONER then made inquiries into the _ cause of
removing the deceased child from Kensington workhouse,
where it was doing so well, to Fulham, and pointed out
the risk and impropriety of the journey to an infant in
its condition, to which the surgeon replied that it was
removed in compliance :With- the usual custom. The
Master of the Kensington Workhouse confirmed this
statement.

The CORONER said that the question of removal might
have been a very serious one for the Board of Guardians.
The evidence of the surgeon was, that from the
exposure in Kensington-square the death was pro-
duced. But it must be remembered, that while
the child was in the Kensington workhouse it was
so well that the Governor regarded it as a compa-
ratively fine and healthy child. In fact, it was so
much altered in health that the Governor *said he could
not now identity the body as that of the child which went
from his establishment. The transmission of the child
at 'such a time, and in such a season, might haVe de-
manded a verdict of Manslaughter against the
instead of one of 'murder against other personk •
A' bill, printed 'by order of the Guardians, was shown
in the room, offering a reward of 21. for the discovery of
the parties who exposed the deceased.
The CORONER said he hoped it would be of use; but
he regretted to say that since he had been in office, in not
a single case of exposure in which he had held an inquest,
had the offenders been found.

The Jury then returned a verdict of " Wilfid Murder
against some persons or persons unknown."

CHRONO-THERMAL SYSTEM OF MEDICINE.
—The Author of this system, in his "Fallacies of the
Faculty," proves beyond question that all diseases may
be cured solely by attention to temperature. Speaking
of the " Fallacies of the Faculty," the Statesman says—
" We noticed this excellent work at some length on its
first appearance, and the speedy demand for a second
edition amply justifies our opinion of it. Dr. Dickson,
its author, has introduced a variety of important facts in
illustration of his system, which cannot fail to increase
the interest it has already excited, as well among the
medical world as the public at large. The best test of
the efficacy of the Chrono-thermal System is its unparal-
leled success." The September number of the Revue de
Versailles devotes upwards of nine columns to an analysis
of this system, and concluded by stating, "Cette theorie
du Docteur Dickson simpliferait beaucoup la route qu'il
faut suivre pour arriver a l'adoucissement des maux qui
affligent l'espece hurnaine ; elle arracherait l'etre souf-
frant aux speculations harsardees et dangereuses; et elle
donnerait enfin a la rnedecine des re&les fixes qui per-
mettraient de la consid6rer des ormais comme une sci-
ence." Foreigners will be gratified to know that Messrs.
Simpkin and Marshall (the London publishers of the
" Fallacies of the Faculty ") will shortly be prepared to
advertise a French translation from the pen of M. le
Marquis de Chesnel.
SERIOUS ACCIDENT AT THE INSOLVENTS'
CoußT.—An elderly and respectable-looking gentleman,
who was attending on business in the Court during the
day, when returning in the evening, being unaware of
the fact of two steps, which lead into the passage from
the door, and no lights being placed near the spot, fell
forward with so much violence as to fracture the small
bone of his leg. A chair was procured by some of the
attendants in the Court, in which he was placed, and
removed in a state of great suffering to the King's Col-
lege Hospital. London is notorious for the inconve-
nience of i is minor Cour.ts,.of
_Justice, and certainly the
InsolfentsCourt cannot be excluded from the category,
it being miserably cold,

SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS

FROM THE DAILT PAPERS OF YESTERDAY.

- -
CHRONICLE.--Poor Lord Aberdeen seems not to
:lave discovered or mistrusted that universal and uncon-
luerable habit of the French King to follow an aim and
s policy of his own, independent of -his Ministers and
without their knowledge. When M. Guizot applied to
the English Government to interfere in behalf of M.
ialvandy's reception by the Queen of Spain, Lord Aber •
leen took it as a sincere cry for succour. He believed
it to be the wish of the French Court that Salvandy
:hould remain in Madrid, and that all should wear the
appearance of peace and amity between France and
;pain. The plainest facts could not awaken Lord Aber-
leen to a sense of the false part which the French
.2ourt was playing. There was, first of all, the choice
of M. or Count Salvandy. Throughout the three
tnd thirty millions of French there is not a single indi-
idual so famed for garrulity on small points as M. Sal-
randy. When he became a colleague of M. Mole in the
Ministry, we could tell how all the efforts of M. Mole
were employed to make M. Salvandy hold his tongue.
ending M. Salvandy to Madrid was like sending a
lrunken Irishman to make peace at a fair ; where the
peace-maker would certainly be the first to begin the
row. The choice of M. Salvandy is proof the first that
he French Court did not desire a reconciliation ; and
there are a score of proofs to show that Salvandy had no
dea of remaining, and had made no preparation for it.
It is, indeed, impossible not to come to the conclusion
`hat he received orders from someone else than M. Guizot.
7ount Salvandy obeyed none of the orders of M. Guizot.
tle took offence at a hundred trifles, such as the naming of
•egiments. The Spanish Government should not have
entered into correspondence with him at all, as he was not
Ambassador. When they did, though their objections
were put in the most courteous manner, M. Salvandy
iccused them of entertaining sentiments " injurious to
leis character." Even the latest orders of M. Guizot to
Count Salvandy were rot to precipitate a quarrel. He
lid precipitate it. He Was bidden, at 'all -evetite, to leave
3E. ;Fage©t as Charge d'Affaires. Count Salvandy did
not, but left young Decazes with orders to await the
lext despatches ftom France, and then come away, if
possible. Count Salvantly was bidden by the Ministry,
even if he did - come away, to await at Vittoria,- or to
stop anywhere, on meeting the couriers from France, if
aot at Vittoria, at Bayonne. Count Salvandy would
,they no Ministerial orders. He sent two couriers, de-
manding answers. He did not wait for the return
of these couriers. And what has been the con-
sequence ? Why, that on his arrival in Paris, he
inds all the Ministers against him, strongly. dis-
.ipproving of his conduct, and no one supporting
him—but the King. Perhaps this will open Lord Aber-
deen's eyes. But apropos of his Lordship's conduct in
this affair, the Tory journal, which ventured a feeble
and hesitating defence of it, hinted that his Lordship,
instead of approving the pretensions of France, proposed
a kind of compromise or mode of arranging the differ-
ence. Now, the fact is, that his Lordship did fully ap-
prove of Salvandy's pretensions, nay, does do so, as we
are able to inform our Tory Contemporaries. But after
having given full adhesion, Lord Aberdeen, in the wis-
dom and solicitude of his Cabinet, conceived a bright
afterthought, a brilliant and happy mode of reconciling
Salvandy and Espartero. His Lordship dispatched a
courier with this ingenious proposal. Now, what will Eng-
land think of the wisdom and experience of her Tory
rulers, when the fact is known that this fine scheme of
Lord Aberdeen, this mezzo termine that was to remedy
all, was founded on the most gross blunder, and upon
such complete ignorance, that really a school-boy ought
to have been whipped for it. Lord Aberdeen supposed
that all recent French Ambassadors had been accredited
to Queen Isabella, whereas in fact they had been accre-
dited to Maria Christina. But obstinately blundering
on in this mistake, which any clerk in the I oreign-office
ought to have corrected, Lord Aberdeen propounds his
sagacious plan. What was the consequence? Why,
that when Lord Cowley presented it to M. Guizot, the
latter at once smilingly pointed out the error, and my
Lord Aberdeen's proposal was put into the fire. It was
too absurd to be even forwarded to Madrid ! Lord
Aberdeen and Lord Cowley are, no doubt, very amiable
gentlemen; but they are just as well calculated to com-
pete with that triple distillation, of Talleyrand, called
Louis Philippe, as any of those sucking diplomatists,
called attaches, are to steer through difficult questions
with Metternich or'Nesselrode.

HERALD.—Driven wild by the excess of its rage at
the chastisement it has received from the public prints
for its. insolent attack on the King of Prussia, the" Times
makes a sweeping chirge of conspiracy, which involves
all the rest-of the daily press. In its smarting agonies
of yesterday it proclaims to itself, " The Whig, Radical,
and Tory [What is the Times? Is it not Tory now ?
Is it ashamed of its newly-adopted opinion ? Is it about
to sell itself again ?] press are amalgamated in one base
phalanx against the nines. To form that union—that
conspiracy both abroad and .at home—all political disr
tinctions vanish, all honest competition ceases, and those
who vilify each other as bitterly as they do the Times
join hand in -hand !" Whew ! Abroad and at home
there is a conspiracy against the Times ! We hare now
got at the source of all foreign discords and domestic
disagreements. All questions, Spanish, French, Levan-
tine,_ American, and Chinese, spring from this universal
resolve to murder that innocent, that Lamb, the gentle,
the—forgiving Times. All are leagued against it—even
" The Anthropophagi, and men
Whose heads do grow beneath their shoulders." „

Nay—what if the man in the moonithould have . joined
this " base phalanx !" This outcry of conspiracy is,
however, a stale device ; one half the pickpockett, and
"area sneaks" brought up before Mr. Hall, at Bow-
street, bawl out in like manner against the " base pha-
lank" of policemen. Yet, preposterous and suicidal as
the accusation is, the reason which the Times adduces
for its swaggering content in the midst of this universal
odium, argues still more than the original offence of
" supper and intemperate draughts." " I care not for
you all," it recklessly screams ; " I despise the public
voice speaking through the public press, because I turn
to my account books, and find the balance on the right
side ! I will show banker's accounts against any of
you !!" This is an ancient species of comfort, though
strictly of the morality of the Times. " Populus me sibi-
lat" is the consolation of the wretch in Horace.

" Populusmesibilat, at mihi plaudo,
Ipse domi, simul ac nummos contemplor in area."
We fancy we see Jonathan Wild counting over his blood-
money, and snapping his fingers in derision of public
opinion, and the " base phalanx " who at last brought
him to Tyburn. Why, the very reason urged by the
Times as a valid cause, at once for its own complacency
and for the wholesale conspiracy of the press which it
has hatched for the occasion—making its own giant to
indulge that thirst for blood, which old Cobbett immor-
talised—is exactly the argument of the Weekly Dispatch
against itself. " You pretend," says the Dispatch to the
Times, "to attack us out of 'your love for morality and
religion. We know you better. You look at our ' ac-
count at the Stamp-office' with the hungry aspect of the
starving gazers at a ham and beef shop, and like theni
would willingly break a window to get a slice. This is
our offeuce—much as you may lie and dissemble—this you
can never forgive !" Leaving, however, its morality,
which is on a par with its honesty—both are probably
from the flourish about them, again for sale—what can
the Times possibly mean by alluding to its rejected re-
quest for a ticket to the recent banquet at the Man-
sion-house ? It could not steal .one, and to beg
it was not ashamed. Why rake up its infelicitous
attempts to get a dinner ? Why force us to remember
that the Times would take no such refusal for the private
dinner given by the East India Directors to Lord Ellen-
borough, but forced its representative into the midst of
the feast ? We should not at di wonder if the gentry
of the Times were to demand a ticket at the Queen's j
own table, next to the Monarch they have insulted, at
the forthcoming entertainment in St. George's Hall.
Their modesty will not stand in the way—would the
spoons and forks? And now remains the question—how
has the Times contrived to force itself into the miser-
able and pilloried position in which it now stands,
trying to brazen it out, yet cowering before the finger
of scorn ? Simply by stepping out of its place. After
taking its degree in Billingsgate, and being dubbed
licentiate in the Seven Dials, it must needs try
"to purge and live cleanly." It flattered itself
it was absolutely complimenting an estimable
Monarch, to whom all England is prepared to do
honour, whilst in every well-bred man's estimation it was
assailing him with the grossest abuse. This comes of
emulating the brutal jokes and ribaldry of its well-
frequented pot-house. When the Times first clamoured
ibr " brickbats and bludgeons for the knaves " [meaning
thereby the Peers of Parliament], it forgot it was sink-
ing itself to the lowest level of the lowest mob; when in
the interval of one day it recanted all its former opinions,
it forgot that no money can pay for loss of honour. The
Times has nd principle on which to take its stand ; and,
by now setting its banker's account against public
credit, and staking its own word against the entire press,
domestic and foreign, it has rivetted its claims to infamy,
unless they be foregone in favour of its insanity. It may
" renounce all contest " with " those sweet-tempered
people who call themselves our Contemporaries;' but
there is one thing it cannot renounce—its own detestable
character ; that, at all events, will " cling to it ever-
lastingly." We accept its contempt, we despise its vena-
lity, we laugh at its ability.
GLOBE.—Sir Robert Peel's last session's sketch
of " the good man struggling with adversity," and
" fishing for" facts, appears in course of realisation in
his own person. We refer to the statement of our Nct•
tingham correspondent, which we publish in another
column. We remembei ti caricature of the Duke of
Wellington, when Prime Minister, in 1830, as Du,-
goies, with his lantern, peering. about to sec if he
could find- anybody in distress. The country thought
his Grace's purblind iniquisition superfluous ; and they
may be of the same opinion regarding Sir Robert's
now—with stilt, greater reason. The Minister who
knocks at every dGor, to be furnished with facts and
opinions on so plain is case, will only make plausibilities
out of them when he Kets them. Official inquiries to

are protected under laws which enhance necessariem, and
prohibit returns in raw produce—the only returns many
of our would-be customers can make—and the very re-
turn; of which we stand in need most urgently ! It
is not nil a question of beating foreigners out of the
market. We cannot, it seems, keep them even out of
our own. It is a question whether we are to be
allowed that commerce which is necessary to our. sub-
sislence. The monopoly of the world's markets has
gone by. That is past praying for. We pray for the

STANDARD.—About twenty years ago the High
Sheriffs of Dublin were arraigned before the House of
Commons by Lord Plunkett for not packing a Grand
Jury. The House of Commons, to its everlasting
dishonour, entertained the charge, and for the .first
time, we believe, that such a principle was as-
serted in an assembly composed of men calling them-
selves honest and honourable, set up the principle
that the question of right or a rong ought to give way
to the expediency of "giving a triumph to neither
party." The Sheriffs, were, indeed, exonerated, but
without the meed of applause to which their firmness
would have entitled them in any healthy season of the
Constitution, and Lord Plunkett escaped without
censure for an avowed offence, by which in better
times he would have incurred impeachment.
Twenty years have rolled by : in these twenty
years Lord Plunkett has been successively a Common-
Law Chief Justice, a Lord Chancellor, and, finally,
a ditrespectfully dismissed functionary and a super-
annuated pensioner. Within the same twenty years
the Parliament which connived at hie Lordship's ex•
ploits has _been compelled to give place to a more
honestly Anstituted assembly, and has involved in
its fall many municipal bodies which were no partici-
pators in its crimes—among others, the Corporation of
the City of Dublin, which had appointed those Sheriffs
so nobly distinguished by their resistance to Lord
Plunkett, in his attempt to invade the constitutional
rights of their office. Great, indeed, have been the
changes wrought within the period of which we speak,
some tor evil, more, we trust, for good, but
it is sufficiently manifest that the spirit of the
party represented twenty years ago by the parent of
the Hannibals, has not, in any material degree, partici-
pated in the common change. As that party 20 years
ago proscribed the Sheriffs who would not pack a Grand
Jury to assist a Liberal State prosecution, so now
the same party clamour against the Irish Govern-
ment, because it will not pack the Sheriff's qprice, to
promote the return to Parliament of a Liberal Par-
liamentary candidate. The Government of Lord De
Grey, having long since determined to make the
annual appointment for all the Irish sheriffs upon the
same day—a determination long publicly known—
permitted, as the terms of the Irish Municipal
Act allowed them to do, the Sheriffs of Dublin
elected by the late Corporation to remain in
office until the day of general appointment should
arrive. This course was so obviously proper that no
objection was offered to it antil the lamented death
of Mr. West opened the prospect of an election in
the Irish metropolis; nor even then was an objec-
tion thought of until after Mr. Lord Mayor O'Con•
nell made the discovery that the Sheriff, and not
himself; as he in his ignorance at first supposed, must
be the returning officer. The incredibly impudent
demand that the Government should supersede the
Sberiffs—this demand was, of course, refused ; and
even at this side of the Channel persons are found to
blame the necessary refusal. This proves very clearly
that the party have lost nothing of their old habit
of audacious pretensions ; hitherto it has been
firmly rebuked, and rebuked, we trust, it will
continue to be. Let what is right be done, because
it is right ; but let nothing be done that is wrong, or
even doubtful, in submission to clamour.

MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS.

FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF YESTERDAY.
CHRONICLE.—We are informed that Senor Borajo,
the Commissioner from the Government of Spain,
charged with the measure for capitalising the overdue
interests to the bondholders, arrived in London this
inorningfrom Paris, with the requisite means and autho-
rity for proceeding with the object of his -mission. The
Commissioner had been detained in Paris in order to
transact the requisite business of his department in that
city. Spaniards are proverbially slow in their movements,
but. we trust that the Commissioners will, in this in-
stance, by a vigorous despatch of business, make up
for the delay which has taken place since the publi-
cation of the correspondence between Mr. Thornton
and M. Murrieta. We are quite satisfied that the
latter •gentleman acted from prudential motives in
not giving publicity to the instructions of the Minister
of Finance ; but, as his brother Commissioner has
now arrived on the spot, the same caution is no longer
called for, and we confidently look forward to an ex-
peditious and vigorous discharge of their official duties.
We hare ever maintained that Spain would fulfil her
promises of good faith to the public creditors, and have
considerable satisfaction in being able to announce that
the ftunling of the over-due interests, the nature of
which we have fully explained on several occasions, is
now to be proceeded with. We are gratified to find that.
the arguments we have used on this subject have made
an impression on the Spanish people, and that the lead-
ing organs of the Madrid press are pointing out to their
countrymen the great advantages which would ensue
from the investment of British capital in their soil, and
the encouragement of emigration.
The E co-Wel Cqiiimereite., one of the leading journals
of the Spanish capital, edited by five tidented and influ-
ential members of the Cortes, Messrs. Lopez, Puente
Ancrres, Tenardi, Ayllon, and Paz Garcia, has been one
of the most prominent advocates.
"Even now," says our Spanish Contemporary," Com-
panies are being formed abroad for the purchase of the
national properties ; the Committee of the English bond-
holders has evinced a desire that our Government. would
declare itself disposed to protect the emigrants who choose
to come and cultivate our lands, as the means to acquire.:
confidence in our future prosperity, and secure the punc-1
tual payment of their dividends. Let them come from
every nation ; and if they respect our laws, and contri-
bute with their capital and labour to the general pros-
perity, they will find as much protection and friendship
as they will leave behind in their native land."
Their Government must use every exertion to in-
crease the revenue and to diminish the expenditure.
They ought to lower their tariff, and enter into a liberal
commercial policy, with Great Britain and other Euro-
pean Powers, so as to enable them to fulfil their expec-
tations of doing something effectual regarding the divi-
dends on the Foreign Debt in 1843. They should also
hold out proper encouragement and privileges to emi-
grants. They ought to grant them a perfect religious
toleration, and invest them with equal civil rights and
privileges after a certain term of residence. Above all
things, they should show them that life and property.
are now perfectly secure in Spain, and that the people of
that country are now resolved to apply themselves to
the arts of .peace, and to enjoy in comfort and happiness
the reward of their long and arduous struggle for con-
stitutional liberty and national independence.
TIMES.—A metal broker's circular, with a statement
of the, business of that department for the past year, has
been handed to us, and from this it appears that the ar-
ticle spelter has engaged a good deal of the attention.
of the speculators, its value having risen from 23L Jos.
per ton in January to 40/. per ton in December, but__ from
3
which it has subsequently declined to 37/. and
ti• •
the great increase in consumption, the short stocks, and
the decline in production have been the chief causes of
the rise. The sale of British iron has been at very de-
pressed prices in our markets, in consequence of the
heavy stocks ; and it is stated that there is no prospect
of improvement for the present, as pigs can be delivered
in the Clyde for 21. ss. to 21. 10s. per ton. The steady
demand and the short stock of quicksilver, now not more
than 2,000 bottles, has induced the contractors to raise
the price to 48., and there is stated to be no chance of.
reduction for the present. The new feature in the tin
market is the quarterly sales by *e British Miners, one
of which takes place on the 27th instant, when 1,000 tons
will be offered. This is the second sale on this prin-
ciple, which, it is said, will greatly benefit the general
trade.
