would benefit mankind, and he went on rejoicing
in the spontaneous gratitude of those whom his skill
relieved, and his unbought practice made whole
and happy„ Having relieved thousands and
tens of thousands in the Metropolis, he
made a tour to Paris—exciting the wonder'
and admiration of the faculty in a strange land.
Subsequently he went to S.otland, and visited
Glasgow, Edinburgh, Aberdeen, &c., in all
which places he made unwilling, because interested
converts to the simplicity and efficacy ofhis happy
discovery. If " seeing is believing "—hearing
is not less convincing; for those who but a few
minutes before were dull to the sweet magic of
sound, almost instantaneously started up, and
marvelled that a new sense was added to
their existence. Those who came doubtingly.
departed is thankfulness and sincere joy—and
many who came to scoff, at the hopeful certainty
of Dr. TURNBULL'S failure, remained to ponder,
and finally believe. This is the true triumph
of mind over matter—the test of genius and
of skill. It was under the impression of
this previous doubt and subsequent conviction,
that the Messrs. CHAMBERS laboured, and have
since acted so nobly, by the generous recantation
of their error. They have done more—they
have endeavoured to repair the damage done
by applying a prompt and cordial antidote—
thereby proving that genuine merit is not
ashamed to avow its error. Honour to such
men 1 They well deserve the homage which a
discerning public awards to their literary labours.
Dr. TURNBULL has now, we are happy to
learn, returned to London to resume his pro-
fessional practice, and we heartily wish him
all the success he so amply deserves.

The Paris Journals continue to discuss the
right of search, under the milder name of
" visitation," set up by Lords PALMERSTON
and ABERDEEN in the case of American vessels
trading on the coast of Africa. They unani-
mously espouse the side of the Americans, and
contend that no such " visitation" can be esta-
blished without the voluntary consent of the
Washington Cabinet. We yesterday published
the substance of an article which appeared in
the National of Saturday upon this question,
and we this day present our readers with the re-
marks of the Royalist Quotidienne upon it.
From the prevailing tone of the French papers,
it is quite clear that were we so mad as to go to
war with the United States to enforce a right of
search, France would be one of the very first
Powers to declare against us :

" It is for the third time since 1830 that the French
Government cedes, to the pressing instances of England,
the right of mutual search, under the pretext of putting
an end to the abominable Slave-trade. The first conven-
tion was made the 30th November, 1831 ; the second, the
22d March, 1833 ; and the third one in 1841.
"The stipulations of this last treaty are not exactly
known. It is said that in it the Slave-trade is declared a
piracy, and that, consequently, the vessels engaged in it
which may be seized are to be adjudged by the tribunals
of the several ports to which • they may he taken. But,
without searching into the mysteries of the convention
concluded by M. Guizot, let us examine into the disposi-
tion of preceding engagements.
" The right of mutual search could, according to them,
be exercised along the western coast of Africa, from
Grea Cape to the Ist degree of south latitude, and the
30th west longitude. 2d. All round the island of Mada-
gascar. And 3d. within a given radius of Cuba, Porto
Rico, and Brazil. It results from these regulations that
the English cruisers have a right of search over at least
three-fourths of our merchant shipping ; because they
are established near our colonies in Guiana, in the An-
tilles, Senegal, and Bourbon—that is to say that English
cruisers can examine at all times the state of our com-
merce on these stations.

" By an article evidently constructed for the advantage
of Great Britain, it is stipulated that the right of search
cannot be limited to any given number of vessels of
either nation. This condition renders ridiculous the
stipulations of reciprocity. It is clear that henceforth
the police of the ocean is in the hands of the nation
which owns most cruisers ; and one can count on the
tenacity, inborn in the English, for their drawing all the
advantages possible from this police.

" France has for some time past begun to under-
stand the true motive which influences England under
its_affected zeal for the suppression of the slave trade.
In 1822 M. de Chateaubriand explained their views. Ile
said It is because England, which possesses India, the
Cape of Good Hope, the Isle of France, the Canadas,
and the Mediterranean isles, has no need of Dominica
and the Bermudas for its shipping or sailors, that we
are to abandon Bourbon, Cayenne, Martinique, and
Guadaloupe.' Now it is no longer because England
does not want its Antilles that it seeks to immo-
late our maritime power, but because that it is neces-
sary for it in her immense Indian establishments to have
the monopoly of colonial produce. For fifteen years the
manufacturing industry of Ilindostan has been completely
sacrificed for the advantage of England, but England has
drawn from India in return for her madufactures an im-
mense and an increasing supply of tea, indigo, sugar,
opium, &c. ; so that in 1839 the exportation of Bengal
sugar alone amounted to ninety millions of kilogrammes.

" All the efforts of the British Government are there-
fore directed to secure the markets for this ever-increas-
ing production of Hindostan ; and it is easily seen that
in the war with China she is not scrupulous much about
the means, nor impeded by whatever obstacles may pre-
sent themselves.

" The French Ministers, since 1830, have assisted Eng-
land with a complaisance which amounts almost to
treason. They abandoned, by the convention of 1831,
this ancient rule of our existence, that the flag pro-
tects the merchandise.' We forced the rest of Europe
to follow our example, and now it is the Navigation
Act of Cromwell which has become the law of nations.

" Then France is no longer at the head of that great
European league which shed so much blood for the
liberty of the seas. She is no longer the safeguard of
neutrals—the protector of the weak. She follows mo-
destly in the wake of Great Britain, in company with
Denmark and Sweden.

"It is now the American Union which protects the
secondary powers that France and K Guizot will not
defend ; and at the side of the Union is seen Spain—
Spain broken to pieces by revolutions, but in which
apparently lives the remembrance of its glory and former
dominion.

" Never was a more fatal blow struck against the influ-
ence, dignity, and honour of our country. The right of
search constitutes foy the advantage of England a vast
sovereignty over the seas, of which France is merely the
humble vassaL"

The Journal des Debats has an article prais-
ing the Court of Peers for the justice and firm-
ness it displayed during the trial of QUENISSET
and his accomplices. It is plain from this, that
the KING has some other dirty job to bring be-
fore the Peers. One of the darling schemes of
the KING is always to ruin his tools in public
estimation by converting them to the basest
uses. It is his pride to have no public man in
France with an undamaged reputation. Bad as
his own political character is, he may safely
boast that it would be very difficult in France
to contrast it with a better.
From Madrid the latest accounts are of the 2d
inst. M. SALVANDy was still there, but had. not
delivered his passports. The Spaniards were
taking the affair quite coolly, and appeared proud
of the firmness exhibited by the Regent.
The Bulletin of the Laws publishes the ratification of
the treaty of the 13th of July.
The same Bulletin contains the ordinance which raises
the Bishopric of Cambray to the rank of an Arch-
bishopric, followed by the bull on the subject in Latin,
and the French translation opposite.

paid his visits to the Minister for Foreign Affairs and
the principle members of the diplomatic body.
We find the following statement in the Journal de la
,Manche We are assured that Admiral Baudin, dis-

were promised
him, has asked the King to give the com-
mand to another officer. He expects his successor, who
is Admiral Baron Mackau.

" The day before yesterday, the Superior Officer of
Engineers, who was to embark in La Gloire, set out post
for Paris, probably to inquire into the reasons of the
change in the opinion of the Ministry relative to the
affair of La Plata.

" Admiral Baudin has quitted the Hotel d'Angleterre
with his family, to reside in a private house.

" The trooPs embarked on board La Gloire frigate

ISLAND or AMOY.-Mr. Wyid, of Charing-
cross, has published a beautiful little chart of
Amoy and the numerous islands in its vicinity.
It appears from the soundings given that the ap-
proach to Amoy and the channel between it and
Igo-long-soo are commodious and fit for vessels
of any size, the depth varying from nine to thir-
teen fathoms. The chart is accompanied by lists
of the British vessels engaged, and the number of
guns found on the different Chinese batteries.

Dr. Turnbull, who has been on a tour in the
north, and successfully curing and converting many un-

in this day's paper), has returned to his residence in

" Who runs may read."

FOREIGN.

The right of search, which now agitates the Govern-
ments of England and the United States, excites the
liveliest interest in Paris. All the Liberal and some of
the Legitimist Journals are opposed to the claims of
England. Notwithstanding the treaty of the Five Powers,
public opinion in France is decidedly opposed to our pre-
tensions; which are ascribed not to humanity but to
selfishness, .
The National of Sunday, announces that Bourdon, a
political prisoner in the fortress of St. Michel, had be-
come insane. This is the third of those unfortunate men
who, in the short space of fifteen months, have gone mad,
which, with one suicide, speaks strongly on the huma-
nity and justice of the cellular system.
The Minister of War had addressed a circular to all
the Colonels of regiments of infantry, to inform them
of the resolution of the Government to suppress a com-
pany per battalion. The Minister invites them, in the
meantime, to discharge the non-commissioned officers of
the class of 1835 who might wish to quit the service, and
offer them situations in Algeria.

Thoilite.iiiity of the cold was increasing in Paris on
Sunday. The Seine was nearly covered over with float-
ing ice, and %% Ould, it was expected, should the frost
continue, be completely frozen over in forty-. ight hours
more. The thermometer marked 9 degree below zero
en Friday night. On Saturday night it was lower. At
nine o'clock on Sunday forenoon the temperature was
still so low as 18 degrees of Fahrenheit (or 14 below the
freezing point).
Letters from Lisbon of the 3d inst. announce the open-
ing of the Cortes, by Commission, on the previous day.
A prorogation to the 21st of February instantly followed.
The Portuguese Government has negotiated a loan of
1,600,0001. sterling at 5 per cent., with the Company of
National Credit. For the details we refer to the Lisbon
correspondence in another part of The Sun.
The Prince de Joinville had left Lisbon for Toulon.
_ _ _ PUBLIC OPINION.

The Morning Herald returns to the question of the
Rural Police system, which it condemns in the most
decided terms ; and asks whether its advocates consider
that they improve the character of the rural population
by a needless exhibition of suspicious vigilance and
penal rigour, especially directed against the most paltry
or the most pardonable of offences. Our Contemporary
adds that the effect of this notable scheme is merely to
enable -a few sages in the Commission to commit some
unlucky charity-boy or other, who may have been un-
able to repress his passion for a turnip or a Scotch kale.
The Times discourses in very dismal tones on the
prospects of the Tories at the approaching Dublin elec-
tion, and warns them that if by any apathy they allow
Lord Morpeth to be returned for that city, they will in-
jure only their own interests. " Desirable as it is," says
the Times, " that the Irish metropolis should be consti-
tutionally represented in Parliament, the prospective
withtlrawment of a single vote, howmuchsoever such a
contingency might have alarmed a weak and worthless
Ministry like Lord Melbourne's, will be regarded by the
present Government with supreme indifferen6e."
The Post conta'ns an article on the manufacturing sys-
tem, in which its observes—" It is not enough to say that
the trade of the manufacturing towns requires to be in-
creased. We ask why ? Where is the necessity ?
Where is the benefit to be derived ? It may at once be
answered that it is required, in order to allow the owners
of certain large establishments to make as much money
as they did formerly. But we see no force in this, un-
less it can he shown that the process by which so much
money was made, was good for the people."
The Chronicle reads a salutary lecture to Sir James
Graham on the subject of his gross apostacy, and goes
through the history of his countless tergiversations With
an accuracy better calculated to edify than to entertain
the Right Hon. heavy-headed Baronet.
The Advertiser remarks, in an article commenting on
the conduct of the Church to the Dissenters—" The aris-
tocratic State-Church despises the lowly Dissenter ;
Why does she not despise his pence, as well as his per-
son ? There would, in that case, be at least consistency
in her scorn ; at present, there is none."
IWO NEY—TILADa---C ccinnEacz•

The commercial distress at Dundee may be judged of
from the fact, that during the last five years there have
been 400 bankruptcies among the merchants and manu-
facturers of that town.

At a meeting of the London confectioners, held on Mon-
day in Aldersgate-street, for the purpose of appointing
a deputation to wait on the Chancellor of the Exche-
quer, and represent the vast decrease of the lozenge and
drop manufactures in the Channel Islands, it was shown
that the present state of the sugar tariff had injured it to
a dreadful extent. Previous to 1839 the enormous quan-
tity of from 10,000 to 15,000 tons of sugar were annually
used in confectionary articles. The present decrease in
the revenue on this score is between 200,0001. and
300,0001. a-year.
The trade at Stirling remains in a most discouraging
state : not less than three . failures of houses connected
with the woollen trade have taken place within the last
few days.

COMMERCIAL REFORM.
At an Anti-Corn-law meeting of the Deputies held on
Thursday at Dundee, the Rev. Mr. Low, speaking upon
the outcry raised against the poorer classes for non-at-
tendance on Divine serviee,,sivtd, ".Talk of people going
to 'churches t why, how can they ? The last blush of
virtuous shame has not yet fled from the cheek of the
poor man, although the last rag of his once church-going
coat has nigh Bed from his bac."

PUBLIC IMPROVEMENTS.
At a meeting of the Governor of the Deaf and Dumb
Asylum on Monday, at the London Tavern, it appeared
that I,Boo.children had been so instructed in it, as to be
rescued from being burdensome to themselves or country.

.36-CCLESIASTXCAL.
The principles of Puseyism, with which it is known
that many of the clergy around Birmingham are deeply
tainted, have manifested themselves openly in the case
of an incumbent of one of the churches there, who has
introduced a gilt cross over the communion table,
before which the Reverend Gentleman bows and bends
his knee according to the canons of the Catholic Church.

I;if.,IsCTIONEER.rNG.
The Liberals are on the move at West Cornwall. The
Tories are drawing up a requisition to Sir R. Vyvyan,
Bart., the present Member for Helston, to become their
candidate.
NAVAL AND MILITARY.
The Ordnance-office- has just addressed a circular to
the head-quarters at Woolwich, and all departments of
the Ordnance service, stating that " if the witness who
first saw the light in the .Tower of London had given an
immediate alarm, the disastrous result might probably
have been prevented," and ends in directing all persons
resident in the Tower and garrisons of the kingdom to
give instantaneous notice, in case of the most trivial ap-
pearance of light or fire within them.
LAW AND POLICE.
At the Sheriff's Court, on Monday, Mr. Theodore
Hook's affairs were brought before the Bench. That
author's defalcations in 1831, while employed by Govern-
ment in the Mauritius, to the amount of 12,6001.; . have
occasioned the Crown to put in its claim upon the pro-
perty left at his death, and to supersede by right of pri-
ority a claim made by Mr. Edwards to the amount of
4,000/. The matter was left to be contested in the Court
of Exchequer.
At Guildhall on Monday, James Roberts was convicted
of smuggling 91bs. of tobacco, and ordered to pay a fine
of 1001., and be imprisoned until the fine was paid.
A Mr. William Heath, of Lower Southampton-street,
was held to bail at Marylebone Police Court, for his ap-
pearance at the Sessions, on a charge of "having thrust
his fist into the face of Dr. Croker, and threatened to
knock his d—d Irish head off." The Doctor himself,
about a fortnight ago, was held to bail in the amount of
2001. to keep the peace towards Mr. Heath. At the
same Court two cabmen were fined 10s. each—the one
for creating a disturbance at the door of Mr. Harper,
Surgeon, Edgware-road, 'and the other for being drunk
and incapable of taking care of himself and his horse.
.In the course of last week two men named Bragden
and Smith, a woman of the name of Wright, and a Mrs.
Piper, were charged at Clerkeuwell Police-court with
robbing the husband of the latter of _property to the value
of 251. Mrs. Piper, it appeared, had left the house of
her husband with the prisoner Bragden, and had been in-
strumental in causing the 'property to be removed. She
had afterwards returned to her home, where she remained
with the consent of her husband,' and after a short hear-
ing the Magistrate discharged her and the prisoner
Wright. Yesterday Mr. Piper expressed his 'determina-
tion to prosecute the other prisoners, and they were
accordingly committed for trial.
This being the first day of Hilary- Term, most of the
Judges and Leading Counsel breakfasted with the Lord
Chancellor at his house in George-street, Hanover-square,
and afterwards proceeded to their respective Courts.
LITERARY AND scrzuvrrzc.
Among the extraordinary cures performed on deaf-
mutes by Dr. Turnbull, recently, was that of a patient,
who, by the process adopted, recovered both hearing and
the sense of smell simultaneously. The case furnished
a proof that sound and languag are closely connected.
The girl cured expressed her -discovery of the acquired
sense, by holding out a rose Au her mother, and saying
" her nose had spoken."

ODE TO THE POPE.

BY A PUSEYITE POET.

" Amongst other portentous opinions, Mr. William
Palmer upholds most fervently the malignant doctrine
of the persecution of heretics, and would think himself
in no error to burn any one, if the state of society
allowed it, who dares depart from the opinions of what
he supposes to be the Church Catholic." —o.rford Cor-
respondent.

The Pope is coming, Hurray I Hurray !
He was seen off Calais at noon, they say,

And must now be half-seas over,
And with him is coining a ghostly freight
Of faggots and friars, in solemn state,

To astonish the nerves of Dover !

Inquisitors, too, have been shipped by the score,
And monks well versed in bigotry's lore,
For 'tis said (oh, joyful sound !)
That his Holiness means our eyes to greet
With an Anto-da-fe; by way of a treat,
On Smithfield's hallowed ground.

'Tis now 'three hundred years and odd,
Since on that blest spot, by the grace of Gj'd,
A Bishop was roasted whole,
And 'tis time we there again should see
Some fat, round Prelate done to a T,
If but for the good of his soul.

Conceive how Cantuar would roast,
When chained to the flame-encircled post,

'Mid the mob's exulting stir !
Smooth London, too, would adorn the stake,
But I think 'twould be well, for example's sake,
• To begin with Exeter I

So, Hurray for the Auto-da-fe ! Hurray !
And should it take place, as I hope it may,
I'll bet you half-a-crown,
Ere a month—perchance ere a fortnight—pass,
The bells shall all ring out for mass
In every British town.

And every Bishop, by singular luck,
Shall become an Abbot as fat as a buck,

And every Vicar a Friar,
And chaunt, despite his Protestant qualms,
The Seven long Penitential Psalms,
Thro' the nose, like Pat Maguire.*

And Glo'ster's Deant, grown wise at last,
Shall by forced penance, prayer, and fast,

His heretic nature soften,
And Sidney Smith, no hinger gay,
Shall tell his beads four times a day,
And scourge himself as often

And sly Sir Bob, and the Tories all,
Shall weekly go to confessional,
And each relate the story
Of his public sins ; but without avail,
For shrive and shrift alike must fail,
I fear, to save a Tory !
So ends my chaunt, God bless the Pope !
On him I'll rest my sunniest hope
When age my spirit freezes ;
Meantime, in reverence bending low,
i'll joyfully kiss his pious toe,
Or whatever part else he pleases !

troversy.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.

CITY, TUESDAY EVENING.

The public securities left off rather heavily this
afternoon. Consols for Money at 888' and for Account
at 88i to 89. The sales of the Bank brokers were re-
sumed again.to-day. Exchequer Bills ruled at 18s. to
20s. premium, and India Bonds at 9s. to lls. premium.

Frankfort at 150, and Trieste at 9 52 to 53.
There was not much speculation in any of the Stocks
except Mexican, which ruled a shade lower. The
Queen of Portugal's Speech had but a slight effect upon
the Bonds.

The official statement of the quantity of Grain im-
ported into London during the quarter ending the Ist
inst., shows a great increase in the arrivals of Foreign
Wheat, but a falling off in the supplies of home-grown,
a fact of itself that speaks at once for the necessity of
imports from abroad to secure a sufficiency of food
to our population. There were received, during
the above-mentioned period, 49,888 quarters (f Eng-
lish, 113,598 quarters of Foreign, and not a single
quarter of Irish wheat. Ireland, too, a country which,
under proper managem: nt, might supply us so
richly. The total imports, including 120 quarters,
from Scotland were therefore 163,606 quarters, and in
the quarter ending the 26th December, 1840, 121,965
quarters. It may be as well to state, that the re-
ceipts of Irish oats were very considerable, though
still rather below those of the corresponding
quarter in 1840. The iinports of Flour were 91,443
sacks, 23,680 barrels, the latter from' abroad. The ac-
counts respecting the growing crops are on the whole
favourable.

MURDER AT THORNE, IN YORK-

SHIRE.

MONDAY A FTER NOON.—Another dreadful murder,
induced by drunkenness, was committed on Sunday
evening last, at the above place, a market town about 10
miles to the north-east of Doncaster, on an unoffend-
ing lad of about 13 years of age, and of deficient in-
tellect. About a quarter past six o'clock a journeyman
shoemaker, a stranger to the town, rushed out
of a house in King-street, and conducted himself very
violently with shouting, and attempted to attack several
girls and boys walking by, but they all eluded him, except
a boy of the name of Pashley, the son of poor
parents, whom the intoxicated ruffian desperately and
suddenly stabbed in the back between the shoulder-blade
bones. The poor child fell immediately, bathed in blood,
and a constable secured the prisoner. Mr. Mirfin and Dr.
Guy were in prompt attendance upon the sufferer, who was
removed to a house near at hand. As soon as these gentle-`
men inspected the wound, they expressed little hope of
Pashley's recovery, and, notwithstanding every attention
was paid to hiin, he died in about three hours, of internal
hemorrhage. The murderer's name is Thomas Timms,
but he gave his name in William Abbotts at first. He is
about 29 years of age, and slender in person, married,
but abandoned his wife a few years ago, since which
time he has been tramping about the country.

GLAMORGANSAIRE.—With the exception of
Cwmbychan, Taibach, and other places, the complaints
of want of employment, deficiency of the necessaries of
life, and embarrassments in trade, form the general topics
of conversation. When the capitalist has no profit, and
the industrious and frugal workman has no food, it is
highly disheartening. Under such circumstances, it is
the duty of the Council of the nation, we opine, to in-
quire into the causes; and as there is plenty of corn in
other countries, as «ell as other articles very nourishing
to sustain nature, to open the ports 'at once instead
of allowing many whc, ark, both able and willing to work
to pine away when there is sufficiency to be hid. This
is not the language of rebels and revolutionists, but that
of humanity and justice,—Silurian. . .
