SPORTING REVIEW.

There is an animated description in this Number of
a " Hurricane at Curacoa," which is from the pen of
Colonel Hamilton Smith, who—as is evident from the
minuteness and fidelity of his details—must have been
an eye-witness of the impressive scene he describes.
" Hyde Marston" is by the Editor. It is an enter-
tahthig story, hastily written, and full of incident.

The average periods of death among an agricultu-

from all the Unions in the county oflVilts during 1840.
In this examination the registries of deaths in the
towns were excluded, and only those of persons in-
cluded who were described as agricultural labourers,
or as farmers and graziers, or-as gentry and profes-
sional persons resident in the rural districts. The
results were as follow :

LA BELLE ASSEMBLEE.

The Number before us is embellished with a por-
trait of a very pretty young girl, who is represented
in the act of meditation ; apparently her thoughts are
of an enlivening nature, for her eye is singularly
bright, and a smile plays about her lips. The en-
graving is explained by some pleasing lines of the late
Mrs:_ Maclean. The literary contents are neither
better nor worse than usual.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
SIII,-11aving, seen the indiscriminate attacks
which havo been made on all Patent Medicines, by a
very ab'e writer, in a we<kly paper, without allowing that
several hare been of great service to the public—such as Dr.
James's Powders, &c., which is frequently prescribed by the
first physicians in the country, and as 1, as agent for the sale
of the LONDON RESTORATIVE am thereby classed with
those pretender, who can show no medical guarantee for the
safety of the public, nor the genuiness of their medicine. I
beg leave, therefore, respectfully to inform you, that the com•
position of the London Restorative is from the Recipe of Dr.
Thomas Buchanan, of Hull, Graduate, member of several
learned societies, author of several surgical works, papers, &c.,
and whose publications are quoted by the most celebrated pro-
fessional writers of the day.
It was owing to the repeated failures of the best medical
practitioners in Britain, in the treatment of several diseases,
that led to the discovery of the medicine sold by me as the
London Restorative. Owing to the great expense incurred by
experiments &c., during upwards of twenty years, Dr. Bucha-
nan consulted a physician of the first talent in London, on the
subject, who advised him—" To dispose of the Medicine in
this form, until his expenses were reimbursed, and then to
throw it open to the profession."
From the acknowledged talent and genius of Dr. Buchanan,
who, by his publications and practice, placed acoustic surgery
in the high station it now holds in Britain, the public may
safely rely on the properties of any recipe of that very able
practitioner.—l remain, Sir, yours most respectfully,
Wlll. BRUCE.

STARCIL—BROWN and POLSON beg to in-
vite the attention of laundresses and the public to their
PATENT POWDER STARCH, unequalled for strength,
colour, and purity. It gives a fine and glossy finish, does not
Mick to the iron, and requires no boiling. The annexed certi-
ficate of that eminent chemist, Dr. Fyfe, will prove that it is
free of potatoe, and contains no deleterious ingredient.
" I hereby certify that I have submitted to chemical investi-
gation the starch manufactured by Messrs. Brown and Poison,
of Paisley, and that I have found it to be a pure article, conse-
quently free from any ingredient that would act injuriously
even on the finest fabric. From trials conducted with it under
my own superintendence, I have found that in starching it
goes farther than the best kinds of patent starch, that it gives
an equally fine finish, and that articles starched with it are not
iable to lose their stiffness. Having witnessed the process of
manufacturing the starch in all its stages, I am satisfied that
potatoe flour is not used in its manufacture.

Also, their IMPROVED ARROW-ROOT, warranted free
of Potato, proven by the most competent judges to be equal in
all respects to the finest West Indian (as the annexed certifi-
cate from the celebrated Dr. Fyfe will show), consequently as
well adapted as a lightsome and nutritious article of food for In-
valids and Infants ; and makes excellent Blanc Mange without
any admixture of Isinglass or Gelatine.

Brown and Poison's Improved Arrow Root, the manufacture
of which I have inspected, is prepared without any admixture of
Potato-dour. It possesses all the qualities of W,st Indian Ar-
row Root, and therefore may be used as an equally wholesome
and nutritious article of food.

The following remarks of Mr. Chad.Vvle.l( Jones 34 will
appropriately close the consideration of this subject
‘,4 cry dangerous errors," he observes, " arise fro. m
statistical returns and insurance tables of the mean
chances of life, made up from gross returns, of the
mortality prevalent amongst large classes, who differ
widely in their circumstances.. Thus we find on in-
quiry into the sanitary condition of the population of
different districts, that the average chances of the life.
of the people of one class in one street, will be 15 years,
and of another class in a street adjoining, 60 years.
In one district of the same town it is found, on exa-
mination of the registries, that the mortality is
only one out of every 57 of the population, and in
another district one out of every 28 dies annually. A
return of the average, or the mean of the chances of
life, or the proportions of death in either instance,
would and does lead to very dangerous errors, and,
amongst others, to serious misapprehensions as to the
condition of the inferior districts, and to false infe-
rences as to the proper rates of insurance."

Dover keeps on filling daily, and we should say
there is more company in the place than was ever before
seen by the oldest inhabitant. The 'weather continues
in the daytime almost as hot as ever ; but as the days
draw in, and the evenings creep out, the cool sea-breeze
after twilight becomes most refreshing and health-inspir-
ing. A day or two more of the present fine weather
will bring us a harvest home. The wheat comes to hand
so matured, that in several instances we have witnessed
the thrashing-machine at work in the fields.—Dover

COMMISSION OF ASSEMBLY.

(Abridged from the Scotsman.)
ADDRESS TO HER MAJESTY.
EDINBURGU, AUG. 30.—A special meeting of the
Commission, called by advertisement, was held yes-
terday in the Tolbooth Church, to vote an address
to her Majesty on the occasion of her arrival in Scot-
land ; Dr. Welsh, Moderator of last Assembly, in
the chair.

•Dr. MAxELLAR, after a few appropriate observa-
tions, moved that a loyal and dutiful address be pre-
sented to her Majesty, congratulating her on her
arrival in this country, and expressing their heartfelt
' joy at her Majesty's presence among her Scottish
subjects.
Dr. Cool( cordially seconded the motion. Diffe.
rences there might be among them, but this was a
field, in which all could meet, on the common ground
of loyalty to their Sovereign.—(Cries of" Agreed.")
A controversy then arose in the assembly, some
parties esteeming it the fittest opportunity for bring-
ing the grievances on the Church question before her
Majesty, and other speakers supporting the original
motion of Dr. Makeller. At length, Mr. emelt-I'ON
moved as an'amendment—
" That; an address be presented to her Majesty, stat-
ing the perilous condition in which the Church of
Scotland was placed, and craving her Majesty's gra-
cious consideration to the same, and that a Committee'
be appointed to frame the address."
Dr. CANDLISH suppOrted Mr. Crichton's motion.
Dr. BUCHANAN could support neither of the mo-
tions now on the table, but begged leave to move in-
stead—" That as her Majesty at present visited this
' kingdom without reference to affairs of State, and
seeking to be relieved in some measure from those
cares which her high office so unceasingly imposed
upon her, the Commission deemed it expedient to re-
frain from introducing into the Address the subject
of the serious difficulties in which the Church was
now involved, and that the Committee be instructed
accordingly."
Professor ALEXANDER cordially seconded the.
motion.

SILVER SUPERSEDED, and those corrosive
and injurious metals called Nickel astd German Silver
supplanted by the introduction of a new and perfectly matchless
ALIiATA PLATE. C. WATSON (late ALDERMAN)
41 and 42, Barbican, aided by a person of science in the areal-
gation of metals, has succeeded in bringing to public notice the
most beautiful article ever yet offered : possessing all the rich-
ness of Silver in appearance—with its durability and hardness
—with its perfect sweetness in use—undergoing, as it does, a
chemical process, by which all that is nauseous in mixed metals is
entirely extracted—resist ng al acids, may be cleaned as Silver,
and is manufactured into every article for the Table and Side-
board.

C. Watson begs the Public will understand that this metal
is peculiarly his •wn, and that Silver is not more different from
Gold, than his metal is from all others ; the Public will there-
fore have no difficulty in discovering the animus which directs
the virulent attacks made against him, by a party who is daliy
suffering from the unparalleled success which has marked the
progress of tits New Plate since its introduction. C. W.,
unlike this party, courts comparison, feeling confident that the
result will establish its pre-eminence.

DUTCH MAIL.

THE HAGUE, AuG:29.—We hear that the projects
of law respecting the remaining portion of the penal
' code, which is shortly to be distributed among the
Members of the States-General, contains, under a
separate head, very severe enactments against duel-
ling. It is well known that the penal code at present
in force does not contain a single word on this subject ;
hence it has happened that actions which, at all events,
are highly blameable and immoral in a well regulated
society, have_ for a long series of years remained un-
punished.
Yesterday forenoon his Majesty gave a solemn au-
dience at the Palace to Lieut.-General Baron Mar-
bot, Aide-de-Camp to his Royal Highness the late
Duke of Orleans.
NEUFCHATEL,
23.—The Municipal Council
gave notice yesterday that the King of Prussia, our
sovereign, though his time will scarcely allow it, has
resolved, if the health of the Queen will permit, to
visit with her. this part_of his dominions. He thinks
to be. at Ball on the 23d of September, and on the
24th at Neufchatel, to stop there till the 27th, and to
return on the 28th by the Brisgau to Friburg.

the plan adopted by this Society ; viz. joined to a secure
provision at death for inheritors of the Assured, the Society
affords succour to the Assured himself (proportioned to pre-
vious payments) in the event of unforeseen reverses.

according to the report of Dr. Duncan, 40,000 of
the population live in cellars, where also 1 in 25 of

there the mean chances of life appear from the re-

PERFECT SUBSTITUTE for SILVER.
CATALOGUE, with ENGRAVINGS (Gratis),
POSTAGE FREE.—The celebrity of the rich and silvery
appearance and extreme durability of the material made ex-
clusively by ourselves, has induced many attempts to foist
open the public the notoriously deleterious German Silver
under the guises of " Albata Plate," " Berlin Silver," Ere,
&c., against which we especially warn them. Aided by an
eminent chemist, we have succeeded in purifying our material
so that acids do not afiect it ; it is now so well known and
appreciated that it is universally superseding silver in all its
uses. The genuine metal, which is more durable than silver,
can only be had at our warehouses. It is the same through-
out, and can be engraved and madein all the various articles
that are in silver, from which it can only be told by reference
to the stamp. Fiddle Threaded King's

ARRIVAL OF THE OVERLAND MAIL.
The following telegraphic dispatch from Marseilles.
dated the 30th of August, at seven o'clock in the
morning, has reached Paris:—

MALTA, Atm. 26.—The Great Liverpool, which ar-
rived this evening at five o'clock, with the dispatches
from India, brings the following news from Jellalabad,
and from the camp of General Pollock. They are
dated the 22d of June, and are of the most dismal de-
scription. Sickness, extreme heat, the want of food,
and the simoom, are decimating the army. The dis-
content and the inaction in which the army is left are
at its height.
" Ukbar Khan has seized the Bala Hisser, and the
treasures which were left there.

" The Governor-General has given full permission
to General Pollock to act as he may think proper.
" Symptoms, of mutiny have shown themselves
among the Sikhs.
" The news from Candahar is to the 11th of June,
and it is without interest.

" Nothing important has taken place in China. It
is said that the Emperor has fled into Tartary.
" The preparations for marching upon Chapoo were
completed ; but the army remained in a state of inac-
tion, and seemed to be completely overcome by dis-
couragement."

[These are French accounts, and of course our read-
ers will judge them according to their merits.]

REGISTRATION OF *VOTERS IN CITIES AND
BOUGUGHS.—On Sunday next and the following Sunday,
the lists of persons objected to, and of those claiming to
be registered, are; or ought to be published, and affixed
on all the church and chapel doors of the various
parishes, and are kept by the overseers for perusal at all
reasonable hours, without fee, during the first ten (lays
' preceding the 15th day of September. It is not required
in cities and boroughs that voters should be personally
served with notice of objection as in counties. Reformers
should, therefore, inspect the list in order to see that
their names are not objected to, and also inspect the list
of claims, with a view of preventing persons from being
put on the register who are not entitled. Those persons
who are objected to must appear themselves, or some one
on their behalf, to prove their qualification before the
Revising Barrister, who holds his Court some time
between the 15th of September and the 25th of October,
of which due notice will be given, and yosted on all the

CLERKENWELL.

Yesterday the Reverend Richard Croxton, Chap-.
lain of the East London Cemetery, Minister of Dar-
ling-place Chapel, near Mile-end Turnpike, and Se-
cretary to the Hospital Accident Society for affording
relief to the families of inmates of the accident wards
of the metropolitan hospitals, attended before Mr.
COMBE under the following circumstances ;
. The Rev. Gentleman intimated that he had come
forward in consequence of a report in the newspapers
relative to the case of the Rev. Mr. Boddington, late
Chaplain to Giltspur-street Compter, and some obser-
vations made in reference to the above Society when
the investigation took place in this Court on Tuesday
last. He begged to say that the Rev. Mr. Bodding-
ton had ceased to be connected with the Society.
Mr. COMBE said that he had in his possession a
printed circular report of a dinner, held at the Lon-
don Coffeehouse in January, 1841, professing to give
speeches that took place on that occasion, one of which
purported to have been delivered by the Rev. Mr.
Boddington.
Mr. eroxton—The meeting was certainly held, and
a circular report was printed at the request of Mr.
Boddington himself, in order to show off his ability
in oratory- on the occasion of the dinner, which took
place in 1840 and not 1841.
Mr. COOMBE said they ought to be very particular
as to dates. The circular was dated 1841.

Mr. Croxton said he was positive as to its being in
840.

Mr. COMM presented the circular report to the
Rev. Gentleman, who,, on looking at it, said that the
Society had never authorised the paper to be printed.
Mr. Croxton farther stated that when Mr. Bodding-
ton was connected with the Society he introduced to
the Committee the Rev. Mr. Aldhouse.

Mr. ComßE—What, he who was sentenced to trans-
portation yesterday at the Old Bailey for bigamy ?
Mr. Croxton—Yes, the same.—(A laugh.)
Mr. Croxton said that the year before last they re-
ceived 4021., and last year 4001. subscriptions in sup-
port of the Society.
Mr. COMBE here said if their was a bona fide So-
ciety it deserved the support of the public, but if not
so the amount of the subscriptions mentioned as hav-
ing been received was only a proof of how many

of the limits of Europe, without the necessary permission of the
Directors having been previously obtained. Credit of half the
Premiums for the first five years, allowed on Policies effected
for the whole term of Life. Parties who have been Assured
for five years will be allowed to borrow on the security of their
Policies, a sum equal to one-half the Premiums paid, less that
for the first year. Advances are made to parties Assured in
the Office, on real or undoubted Person al Security, for terms
net exceeding three years, repayable by ingalments. Premiums
moderate. Participation in profits. Detailed Prospectuses
may be obtained on application at the Office, or by letter

NORWICH UNION LIFE INSURANCE
SOCIETY.—Notice is hereby given, that, in pursuance
a Resolution passed at the General Meeting of this Society,
held at Norwich on the 28th day of January of the present
year, when it was referred to the Board of Directors " To
have the requisite calculations made with the least practicable
delay, for the purpose of assigning a Bonus upon Policies in
existence at June, 1841, and which should be existing at the
time such Bonus might be declared," a GENERAL MEET-
ING of the Members of this Society is convened to be held at
the Society's office in Surrey street, Norwich, on FRIDAY, the
9th of September next, at Twelve o'clock at Noon, at which
meeting the Balance Sheet of the Society's affairs at the 30th
of June, 1841, will be laid before the Assurers, and the calcu-
lations directed to be made for the purpose of assigning a Bonus
submitted to them, and the amount and declaration of such
Bonus taken into consideration, and then determined upon.

THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER 2, 1842,

THE MAGAZINES.

MONTHLY MAGAZINE.
We have here a very agreeable, social, chatty, sort
of blank-verse poem by Leigh Hunt, which he calls
A Rustic Walk and Dinner." There are many
subtle, fantastic, and some - fine thoughts scattered
through this poem, which hreathes, the very spirit of
placid enjoyment, and deserves special praise for the
grace and freshness of its scenic -descriptions. The
next article, which is in prose, furnishes us with an
account of a " Progress through the cities of the
Loire and the Seine," in which there is nothing of
particular interest, except a sketch of the town of
Saumur, which, it may be remembered, figures con-
spicuously in the Memoirs of Madame De la Roche-
jaquelin. "On Young People, and My Love of
Them" is a cheerful essay, penned in a kindly view of
feeling. Old maids and old bachelors—arcades ambo
—whose bump of selfishness on the occiput is usually
as large as an ostrich-egg, will turn from this essay
with contempt, hut it will come home to the hearts of
all parents. The remaining articles, whether in prose
or verse, are of an average order of merit.

NORTH OF ENGLAND MAGAZINE.
The present Number of this Magazine contains
some remarks on the " New Taxes," not a few of
which are as intelligent as they are seasonable.
There is also an able essay on M'Cullagh's " Histo-
rical Lectures," which were noticed some weeks
sine in The Sun.

METROPOLITAN MAGAZINE.
The clever Oriental tale of " Sarvingdroog" is here
continued, and with unabated spirit. The descriptive
portions of it, in particular, are remarkable for their
graphic skill and energy, and the occasional snatches
of rhyme exhibit no ordinary powers of versification.
" Letters from Abroad to a Friend at Cambridge"
give some passable sketches of Swiss scenery. The
lake of Constance, strange to say, disappointed the
writer's expectations, who merely remarks that it
" resembles a branch of the_ open ocean, without any
striking beauty of its coasts."

SPORTING REVIEW.
There is an animated description in this Number of
a "Hurricane at Curacoa," which is from the pen of
Colonel Hamilton Smith, who—as is evident from the
minuteness and fidelity of his details—must have/ been
an eye-witness of the impressive scene he describes.
" Hyde Marston" is by, the Editor. It is an enter-
taining story, hastily written, and full of incident.

SPORTING MAGAZINE.
The illustrations to this number are very creditable
specimens of engraving. One is entitled ' Lading a
Brook," and another, a portrait of two dogs, the pro •
perty of her Majesty and Prince Albert. The first is
the best, the sparkling lights of the sunny, tumbling
brook being adroitly managed, and the perspective
true to nature. Of the literary contents, the most
amusing specimen is Mr. Mills's sketch of the " Sport-
ing Life of England."

Major Calder Campbell—a dextrous versifyer—
contributes a gossiping, desultory paper to the. cur-
rent Number of this periodical, under the appropriate
title of " Rough Recollections of Rambles Abroad

wild legend respecting a Hebridean mermaid, which
serves to vary the contents of the " Svortsman." The
plate representing " Grouse Shooting is appropriate
to the season ; and, as an engraving, does credit to the
artist.

On looking, at the subsequent returns, it is to„ be
borne in mind that wages are nearly double in Man
chester to the average of wages in Rutlandshire,
though rents arc higher in Mancester. Some allow-
ance must also be made for the very high average age
in Rutlandshire, from the circumstance that many of
the children or young people migrate from thence to
manufacturing neighbourhoods for employment, which
would have passed the age at which the greatest mor-
tality takes place among children, but still it might
be expected that their migration, as it is constant,
might to some extent increase the average age of
death or apparent duration of life in Rutlandshire,
though not very materially; on the other hand, there
is, perhaps, a larger proportion of children in Man-
chester. The return is as follows :---

WORSHIP-STREET.

John Keane, an Irish labourer, was charged with
assaulting his wife.
Police Constable, 103 G-, stated, that at about 7
o'clock yesterday morning he perceived a crowd
round a house in Adam and Eve-court, Whitecross-
street. He went to the spot, and found the wife of
the prisoner lying on the steps of a door, apparently
in a very dangerous condition, and vomiting blood.
She told him she had been ill used by her husband,
who was pointed out to witness, and taken by him
into custody. He sent for his Inspector, who ordered
that a surgeon should be sent for.
Inspector Shackle deposed to having seen the
woman under the circumstances detailed by the
preceding witness. The surgeon who had been
first called in stated that he thought there was no fear
of the woman's recovery, if she were properly at-
tended to. She had, however, been afterwards taken
to St. Bartholomew's Hospital, where she was now
lying in a very dangerous condition.
The prisoner stated in his own defence that his wife
had been drunk and disorderly at his house on Satur-
day night. He opened the door to let her in at about
two o'clock in the morning, when she began to abuse
him. He pushed her, and she fell down the steps of
the door.

Other witnesses deposed to the disorderly behaviour
of the wife. The prisoner was remanded until the con-
dition of the woman could be further ascertained.
Fußfous DRIVING AND ITS CONSEQUENCES.—Yes-
terday James Walsh, a cab-driver, who has been se-
veral times tined for acts of misconduct, was brought
on a warrant before Mr. Greenwood, charged with
furious driving and with assaulting the police.
The prisoner himself had been several days in Bar-
tholomew's Hospital in consequence of a severe
wound he had received upon the head from a police-
man's truncheon, and the matter had been the cause
of very considerable excitement.
Mr. Hunt, a solicitor, now appeared to defend the
prisoner, the fraternity of cab-drivers having sub-
scribed fbr that purpose.
Several witnesses were examined, who stated the
following facts:—
On Monday morning last a cabriolet, with three
drunken cabmen on the box, the prisoner driving,
came rapidly along Worship-street, and as it passed
truck against the police-van, which had brought
s
