This Work, a SEVENTH Edition of which is now presented to the public, 10,000 having been exhausted since itsfirst appearunee, has been very much improved and enlarged by the addition of a more extended and clear detail of general principles, as also by the inser- tion of sever: net, and highly interesting 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 indifference, 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 encouraged and aroused by this aupineness, on the part of the regular surgeon. In order to obviate the pernicious effect sure to result from the practices of such pretenders, the authors have for a considerable time devoted themselves exclusively to a certain class of diseases of the neces- sity of so doing, they were further convinced by feeling that tnct, in investigating the latent sources of many diseases, which arise from secret practices, can only be acquired by an exclusive and undivided attention to this department of medical practice. The number- less instances daily occurring, wherein affections of the lungs, putting on all the outer apptarances of con. sumption, which, however, when traced to their source, Are found to result from certain baneful habits, fully proves that the principle of the division of labour is nowhere more applicable than in medical practice.-N%'e feet 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 consequence of some disease, which for want of care- ful investigation of its real cause, has been set down to the score of consumption, 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 is atall suspected. The PRECEPTOR, also, who holds temporarily, at least, the relation and responsibility of a parent, will, by perusing this work, be directed, and very much assisted in investigating and detecting the too-often concealed practices so often introduced into schools, whereby the health and ultimately the lives of his pupils are sure to be compromised, unless the evil be arrrested in proper time. lie will here find a clue to guide him through the intricate rjiazes 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 cause 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 twofold 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 disastrous consequences which are sure to follow from them, if not relin- quislied.-Stin Evening Paper (Extract.)

A FEW OF TIIE MAM THOUSAND TESTIMONIALS OF Sight Restored &, Deafness Cured. SIGHT RESTORED. Penryn Arms Hotel, Bangor, May 25, 1838. Sin,-From the great and signal benefit I have ex- perienced from your invaluable Snuff, I conceive I should be doing an act of ingratitude to yourself as well as injustice to those suffering as I have, if I did not thus openly state for the satisfaction of the public that I have been for a long time past labouring under an almost total deprivation of sight, so great as, except bv the feet, incapable of knowing a shilling from a guinea. A gentleman who stopped at my house for a short time pitying my (as I imagined incurable) mis- fortune, kindly recommended me to try a small quan- tity of your discovery, which he procured from an Agent of yours in Dublin. I felt so much benefitted from a 2s. 4d. Canister, that I sent for two more, which having nearly used, I am now almost completely re- stored. I have no doubt in the course of another week of being cured. Sir, if you would appoint an Agent in this town it would be doing the inhabitants an incalculable benefit. Should you be so disposed, I can with confidence name Mr- lleywood, a' most res- pectable tradesman here, from whom I am convinced, you would experience every satisfaction. Pardon this liberty, but as I have myself felt such good effects from your Eye Snuff, I am doubly anxious our town should be supplied by a local Agent. Sir, you are at perfect liberty to publish this Testimony of acknow- ledgment from your grateful and obedient servant, W. BICKXELL. Copy of a Letter sent to jVr. Vrunslone, Dec. 19,1824. My dear Sir,—In consequence of your making some enquiry concerning the benefit my friend has received from your most excellent Eye Snuff, the following is a correct account and statement:—Emma Wooderd is a child from eight to nine years of age; and all the sum- mer her eyes were so bad that she could scarcely see to guide herself about. My wife, Elizabeth Walker, seeing the child in this deplorable situation, recom- mended your Eye Snuff to the nurse, as the child was with Mary Roads. Having a box of your Snuff, I gave a part of it to her, and directed her how to give :t the child, and she began taking it about Michaelmas last and after taking half a box, in six weeks, she was able to go to School and to make Lace, as before; and in taking the other part since, her eyes are perfectly well, and as strong as before.

IMPORTANT DISCOVERY.— The German journals state that an engineer of Vienna, named Klein, has inycnted a method of preventing sparks and ashes from the fires of the locomotive-engines of railroads from filling on the passengers in open waggons, without, however, diminishing the cur- rent of air necessary for the fire. The experiments made on the Vienna railway have been so satis- factory that it has len resolved to a?opt hM ap- paratus, and to burn wood instead of coke. M. Klein has taken out a patent for his discovery. The deaths in the Austrian dominions during IS10 amount to being f),,)oiiiore. than in the preceding year. The births exceeded the deaths by 177,200. Letters from Alexandria state that nothing had transpired as to the ultimate arrangements between the East India Company and Mehemet Ali, relative to the transit of merchandise through Egypt, although the Pacha has yielded to the principle of the measure on payment of a certain duty. The Pacha was preparing for his tour in Upper Egypt.—Ibrahim Pacha was in Lower Egypt repairing the damages caused by the Nile. TutAL OF ONE HUXPKED AND TWF.I.VE MEN* rOR MURDER.—The correspondent of the Illinois Free Trader gives an account of the trial of the persons I charged with the murder of the Drtskalls; John and William, from which we make a few extracts, lie says, The September term of the Ogle Cir- cuit Court has just closed, dnJ its session has been marked by a trial which, in the number of the ac- cused tried in one indictment for the crime cf mur- der, is without parallel. One hundred and twelve mw were indicted for the murder of John Driskall and William Driskall, in june last, near Washing- ton Grove, in this countv: About one hundred pleaded. not guilty, and were put upon t heir trial, judge Ford, whatever mi<rht have been his feelings (the accuse d were his neighbours; Judge F. living in Ogle county); exhibited upon tlVc bench a stern determination that the accused should be fully and fairly tried; However, the very fact of the great confusion occasioned by so many names in the in- dictment left the accused without any evidence to contend against. The two or three first witnesses whose names were endorsed upon the indictment (and by the laws of this state none, except those whose names arc so endorsed, can be called to prove the substantive part of the accusation) only knew some of the preparatory steps taken, which led to the supposed offence." The case was sub- mitted to thejury, who, without leaving their seats, rendered a verdict of Not Guilty. This verdict was given partially from a want of evidence, and from what the jury considered the absolute neces- sity of the case.w rod. Paper. THE STEAM JUDOE."—The American papers ,eo d trit l ivitb the fol- close their reports of the M'Leod trial with the fol- lowing—" We will mention an incident, showing how well merited is the title of Steam Judge' as applied to Judge Grindley by the members of the bar here. Immediately upon the officers being sworn to attend the jury to their room, and before they had left the court room, he commanded silence, and addressing the clerk, said, Call the next case, Mr. Clerk, empanel a jury,'and that too just at the close of the eighth day of a trial during which he Lad presided sixteen hours each day. The lawyers were perfectly unprepared for such a course of conduct; but as they knew he was not to be trifled with, they hastily despatched messengers for their papers and witnesses, and in less than twenty minutes the court' was again occupied with a case involving some eightv or a hundred dol- lars. BOMBAY.—Intelligence has been received by the overland mail, from Bombay.— The forces all remained at Hong Kone, nnd the health of the troops was improving, though there was still much sickness among them. At Canton there were still a few British merchants, and several Americans, but business was virtually at a stand still, the place having- been com- pletely drained of money—the life-blood of coinmerce-by the payment of the ransom. "I subjoin a copy of the Emperor's reply to the repre- sentation of his mandarins as to the recent military ope- rations in the vicinity of Canton. )-ih and his colleagues have reported that the English barbarian ships attacked the provincial city, but the troops who guarded it feared not for its safety, and affairs were managed according to the emergencies of the case. On looking at the report. I thoroughly understand the whole of it; the English barbarians, after tngatring, have twice retreated before my troops thus the affair has already become weakened, and the strength (of the English) has become strongly pressed upon. whenever put forth in the battle's strife. The said barbarians are like dogs and sheep in their dispositions—' A dog: in forehead, but in heart a deer' — they are not worth an argument. Further it is authenticated that Yihshan has reported that the said barbarians doff their caps, and perform the proper ceremonies, and have begged and prayed that he will transmit their report, imploring for favour, T, the Emperor, believe in you (the said high officers), and that the trouble and vexation of your minds (through the prayers and supplications of the people) drive you to extremities—or forced you to temporize—and induced you to request mf to allow them (English) to trade. It is impossible to fathom the dispositions of the barbarians and it is riglit to prepare secret means of defence, nor should there be the least degree of negligence or remissness wait until tht barbarian ships have retired, then quickly resume pos- session of the forts, and guard and maintain the important passes, and. such-like placcs." From some unexplained cause the Emperor's chop was at first concealed from tie K wanc-choo-foo and the Treasurer. Of the ransom money the authorities paid four motions, and the Hong merchants two millions. of dollars. The losQes of Howqua (the well known Hong merchant) have h en very heavy, for not only did he contribute 820.000 dollars as his share of the levy, but has lost 750,000 doiiars by the conflagration of two packhouses which were destroyed during the disturbances at Canton The object of Kwaag-choo-foo in seekine a conference with Sir H. Pottirigcr, it is said, w £ s to offer ten millions of dollars as an inducement for the plenipotentiary to relinquish his intention of proceeding to the northward bnt wh a proposition could not be listened to. All due preparations having been made, a fleet of ships of war and transports sailed from Hong Kong Bay to the northward on the 21st August. The total amount of our land forces is estimated at 2,700 bayonets. With regard to the objects of the expedition, nothing has officially transpired. It is. ho- ever. generally believed, that Atnoy will be captured and its fortifications destroyed, and that Ningpo and Tinghae will share the same fate. That the fleet will move any further than Chusan during the present year is highly improbable. The troops will in all likelihood winter at Tinghae. It is reported the Chinese in Canton that Keshen has been reinstated in some portion of his ancietit dignity. having c- favourably from a court of inquiry, at which sr\ oral ni his intimate friends presided; and that I Lin and Tang have been sentenced to transportation. The estimated \"?:uc of Keshen's property, supposed to have been confiscated, is immense: in fact, staggers belief. It amounts to 14,150,230 dollars, 1:2,830,046 sterling. I

I Tiir. NEW LOltD MAYOR.—Last Monday Alder- man Pirie, the new "Lord Mayor, was sworn in with the usual ceremonies at Guildhall. A dinner at the Mansion House followed. Being born north o' the Tweed, was anxious to introduce into the civic procession on Lord Mayor's Day the j band drummers and fifers, and bagpipes of the 72 Highlanders, stationed at Windsor. An applica-I tion to this effect was therefore mad e on behalf j of Mr. Alderman Pirie to the authorities at the Horse Guards, who immediately consented to the band of the regiment proceeding to town for that purpose. In addition to the band, there was a i strong muster of drummers and filers, and six oi pipers, stationed in the Hall during and after the civic banquet—playing alternately with the inil bands. The Times has pressed the Exchequer Bill for- gery and the fire at the Tower, into its service, as items in Sir Robert Peel's justification for delay- me; to announce his measures. If Sir Robert I Pee]; says this advocate of his policy of procras- tination, "had brought forii-ardt financial scheme at the time when the Nhis pressed him to do so, he must have omitted this most important item [the former] from his calculation. The merit of tins argument for delay is its tf limit ability !—Globe. FIRE AT GUII.DUAI.L.—Thursday night, at half- past ten, an extraordinary sensation was created in the City by the report of a fire having broken out at Guildhall. The recent dreadful calamity gave an additional interest to the report. The following letter explains the occurrence :—" Gen- JvUien—Apprehending that some degree of an- xiety may be occasioned to the public mind irom variotfs Reports on account of aif alarm that some of the timbers of the roof of a portion of the Guild- hall was on fire this night, I <^eem it right to iu- form you that a temporary inconvenience was oc- casioned by an escape of gas in the roof of a room adjohung Guildhall, which was slightly injured; but that a prompt attendance of aU the authorities immediately removed the danger, and that w ithin twenty minuter th? whole was rendered perfectly I safe. And I think it due to the promptness exhi- bited by M?Braidwood and his?brce, to state that every exertioi*. was made by them. I re- main, &&, William l&ouiitague.

I BLAKKSLEY, THE MURDERER.—On Thursday la.>f. j Sheriir Magnav and the Ordinary of Newgate communicated to Blakesley that his execution was fixed for Monday, the 15th inst, IlexeceiVed the communication as if he expected"ft, IteraspjJmcd in no degree avritated. He has been Tn [foodJ"health since his trial. DEAN AND CHAPTER or WESTMINSTER.—Two FACTS.—The Dean and Chapter of Westminster have lately introduced in their leases among the prohibitory clauses, the fol!ONN-iiE,, :Or shall build, or erect, or permit, or suffer to be built, or erected, any Chapel or Meeting-house, for any separate congregation of people dissenting from the Church of England as by law Established, or the said messuage or tenement, to be used for any such Chapel or Meeting-house." Fact the second In the Almonry, directly under the shadow of Westminster Abbey, are about 27 houses, nearly all, if not all of which are brothels of the lowest and most abominable character, and have been so during the memory of the oldest inhabitants of the oarish; these houses all belong to the Dean and'Chapter of Westminster. VENTILATING AND FIKE-PROOFING THE Horsts OF PARLIAMENT.—Towards the conclusion of the last session of Parliament, a committee was ap- pointed to consider and report upon the plan sub- mittcd by the architect (Mr. Barry) for the venti- lation and warming the new Houses of Parliament, and for rendering them fire-proof. The committee examined two witnesses on Sept. 27, and Oct. 1, namely—Dr. Reid and Mr. Barry and two days previousl y to the prorogation a report was presen- ted, setting forth—" That, having considered the matter referred to them, and examined witnesses thereon, it was resolved that it appears from the evidenced Mr. Bairy that the only expense ne- cessary to incurred in the course of the next six months, with the view of making preparation for the adoption of the plans prepared by Dr. Held for ventilation of the new- Houses of Parliament, by means of a central tower, consists in strengthen- ing the foundation of the central saloon. That, under these circumstances; and adverting to the fact that, according to the evidence of Dr. Reid, I he is still engaged upon ft course of experi- ments upon the subject of the ventilation ol the Houses of Parliament, it appears to the com- mittee that it is not necessary to come to a final decision upon the matter referred to them before the next session of Parliament. That the com- mittee recommend, in the mean time, that autho- rity be given to Mr. Barry to increase the strength of the foundation of the central saloon, as adver- ted to bv Mr. Barry, in case it should be necessary, before the next session of Parliament, to proceed with the foundations of that part ol the building." From the evidence it appears that the estimate of £ 86,000 includes the cost of the works which are necessary for rendering the entire building fire- proo f. A LATTER-DAY SAINT.—A lengthened investi-j gation was gone into last week in London, on the body of Elizabeth Morgan, aged 55, whose death was alleged to have been caused through improper treatment b'v d unqualined persons. Maria Walker said she had known the deceased about tw elve months. For some time past she had suffered from a spasmodic affection, and on Tuesday week last witness was sent for to attend her. Witness found her very ill, but no medical cntlemall mlS called in, it being against the religious tenets of the sect to which the deceased belonged to do so. The sect to which she belonged styled themsch-cs "The Church of Jesus Christ, and Latter-day Saints." They dated their origin from the apostles, and treated their sick according to the following text, taken from the last chapter of the epistle of St. Jinies: Ali, illness amongst you ye shall call for the elders of the church, and anoint your- selves with oil in the name of the Lord." She (witness) had known cases of healing under such circumstances, but the deceased sank and died on Saturday last. Mary Ann Alhin, Spencer place, G os well road, wife of one of the elders, said sh e i was called to see the deceased on Tuesday morn- ing:, and from her appearance thought she was suffering from inflammation of the bowels. No surgeon was sent for. Witness administrated some "sage-tea with Cayenne pepper" in it: leeches and other remedies were also applied. Everything was prayed over before it was given. Mr. D. Lewis, surgeon, said he had attended the deceased on a former occasion for a spasmodic affection, and had not the least doubt that, if he had been called in on the present occasion, he could have saved her life. He had seen the body since death, which he should attribute to mortifi- cation of the bowels. Although the Cayenne pepper was not the cause of death, it was the worst thing that could he given to her. The Jury, d'ter some deliberation, returned a verdict of Natural death," with a hope that the present inquiry would act as a caution to that body how they acted in 8ueh cases for the future. t A mandamus has been issue d by the Court of A 1T¡tllI.1r¡¡;/?JI' has bcn issrwd enr the C0'1l't of 1 Queen's Bench," directing the gaoler of the manor of Pomfret to give up the body of a prisoner of the name of Forster, who had died In the prison. The keeper had refused to deliver up the body on the ground that Forster was indebted to him for ne- cessaries supplied while in gaol. Owing to the great destruction of muskets by the late fire at the Tower of London, it is intended to remove those at present used by the Royal Artillery, and in store i- L, Woolwich, amounting to 7,0!)0,. to the Tower, in case tfcpy should be re- quired for particular service upo)t short notice. YARMOUTH, Nov. 8.—-The Breakwater, of Dart- 1 mouth, is on shore on Saohy Sand, but she is ex- pected to be got off; part of the cargo thrown overboard. A large north cotiiitrv master's name Armstrong, is on shore on the Cross Sand; assistance has been sent from here; part of the cargo must be thrown overboard. ASSURANCE OFFICES AND THE MEDICAL PROFES- sIox.-Thc opinions and practice of the couucil and members of the British Medical Association have not. altered on this subjcct; they continue to return unanswered all applications from assurance offices for ct^rrificates of health which do not con- tain a fee. This is now acting very beneficially, by forcing attention to the subject on the offices j' and on the public, and all the newly-formed offices, and several of the old ones, are adopting the plan of allowing fees in all cases where medical gentle- men are applied to. CLOSING or Pur.t.ic HorsEs ON ,"Dy.-The following results are exhibited in tii document read before the London Statistical Society :—*■■ The tol") number of drunken persons apprehended on the Sunday during the first five months of 1810, was 1,328, and in the first five months ol' 1838-39, taking the average of the two years, 2,301; so that the total decrease in 1810 was 981, or 42 per cent. The diminution is gene- ral throughout the whole district, but it varies in the different divisions. The most marked decrease is in the divisions situated in the centre of the metropolis. In the Hoiborn division it is IS per cent., in the Covent Garden division 52 per cent., :,nrl in the St. James.s. divish n 79 per cent. That, this result is the cons>equuii,H of the measure of closing the public }iouses in the early part of the Sunday, and not to any general increase of tem- perate habits among the class of persons frequent- ing these houses, is shown by these tables: for while there were 981 persons less apprehended on the Sunday, during the live months of 1840, 27o more were apprehended on rhe other days of that vcar, which increase is equal to per cent. The t vcar, which increase is equal to <: £ per cent. The total decrease, therefore, throughout the week is thus reduced to 7 per cent.; the great decrease on the one day being nearly counterbalanced by the small increase of six days. There is, however, the positive benefit of a decrease of one fourteenth throughout the week, and of two-fifths on the Sabbath, to which must be added this important result—that the great increase uuruig the week days has occurred chiefly in those divisions in which the decrease was least on the Sunday, and I that there has been but a slight increase, or even a ( diminution, on the week days, in all those (1!i-1 sions in which the greatest decrease occurred on the Smisay. This fact proves that the increase of temrlerane"e on the Sunday has not tended to pm-I mote the prevalence of drunkenness on the week days and that a favourable difference throughout the week may be remarked in those parts in .which the improvement on the Sunday was the great- est." Puun PROTESTANTISM.—A m-jaling of the Pro- testant Association took place on Thursday nigh! at Exeter Hall, to commemorate the d'scovery and prevention oft tic Gunpowder Plot. One of the speakers said He was born on the banks of the Boyne, where it was the custom of uiythers to bathe their children in the waters of the river, to I imbue them more perfectly with the pure princi- ples of Protestantism. So deeply had he been im- pressed with these principles, that the only tune he could ever learn was Protestant Boys, and the only toast he knew was 'The glorious, pious, and immortal memory.' A NEW VE«ETAKI.F..—At a meeting of the Iloi-ti- cultural Society, Dr. L'indlev drew attention to a new vegetable lately introduced into this country, and grown successfully at Chiswiek, which is likely soon to become extensively cultivated for markets. It has been grown extensively in Bel- gium. ABUSES IN THE CHURCH.—By the death of the Rev. Dr. G. F. Nott, of Winchester, the valuable livings of Woodchurch and Harrietsham, in this county, have become vacant. Woodchurch is in the gift of the Archbishop of Canterbury, and all Souls College, Oxford, is tiie patron of arriet:sLam. There has been no resident rector in either parish for many years, and it is now to be hoped that a zea- lous, active, and efficient person will be appointed to each parish.— Canterbury Journal. ABOI,ITI0N OF THE PUNISHMENT OF DEATH.— This question has latterly made considerable progress in America, where, in the state ot New or-i, a select committee of the House of Assembly lateiy reported in favour of the abolition of capital pu- n:shment in the onlv three remaining cases, trea- son, murder, and arson of the Dr-t degree.

Several very heavy flights of wid- geon, and other sea fowl, have already made thlr appearance, in the Southampton waters. The early arrival of these northern vis itants may be I looked upon as the prognostic of a very severe winter. Manv poor families c'n the Hampshire coast, 1 during the d?ad months, gam a subsistence by foHo\vin? ID the sport of wild fowl shocnn?, which is attended with great peril and labour, par- ticularly in the dark nights of winter, which is the most favourable time for the punt gunner's opera- tions. Last year the punters, from the lasting severity of the season, were well rewarded for their pains. The trains on the Croydon P.ailway were stopped from running in consequence of a slip oi earth, to the extent of twenty thousand yards, having taken place on Tuesday night. CHURCH-HATE FI'L'I'I'S. A few months ago, Me ssrs. Varty and Mopsey, the churchwardens of Hackney, commenced proceedings in the Ecclesi- astical Court against six individuals, whose iinited arrears of church-rate amounted to 4*1 7s. 2d. The sum due from two of the parties (poor men) is 2s. 8d. each. Previously to taking this step, however, the churchwardens sought the best ad- vice which money could procure. Counsel was consulted as to the probability of successfully re- covering the tl i, 2d., the eharg? for which con- sultation, in their lately printed accounts, is £ 22 12s. 4d.; five guineas to Dr, Addams, and the odd seventeen pounds to the vestry clerk for drawing the case. Messrs. Varty and Mopsey declare that, in the course adopted, they have been actu- ated only by a strong sense of duty. Can any- body doubt it? EDUCATION AND CitNir.-Tlic calendar for the Salford hundred sessions contains the names of 26-5 prisoners, charged with felony, of whom 142 are marked as being unable either to read or write, 50 can read 'imperfectly, (i4 can read rlud write imperfectly only six can read and v- lite v- ed, and one is not marked. There are also 32 persons charged with misdemeanors. The educational ac- quirements of three of them are not stated, 17 can neither read nor write, eight can read imperfectly, and only three can read and write well. I CALCULATING Y Ol"TH,-Amoug the boys enr ployed for therlifferent purposes of calculation on the Ordnance Survey of Ireland, there is at present one, named Alexander Gwyn, only eight years I old, and a native of Derrv, whose abilities are sur- prising. He has got by rote the fractional loga- rithms from 1 to 1,00'), which he will repeat in regu- lar rotation, or otherwise, as the interrogator may please to put the questions. His rapidity and correctness in the various calculations of trigono- metrical distances, triangles, &c., are amazing. He can, in less than one minute, make a return in acres, roods, perches, &c., of any quantity of land, by giving him the surveyor's chained distances while the greatest arithmetician will take nearly an hour to do the same, and not be certain of truth in the end. The printed list of premiums given by the Lough- borough Agricultural Society contains one of a cup valued at £ 5, to he given to the best plough- man amongst the unmarried farmers' sons Ti e accounts in the provincial journals all agree in describing the amount of rain which has lately fallen as far bei-oiid the average of ai.y season for many years past. The public examinations at the University of Oxford commenced on the 1st inst. The number ofUnder-graduates who have given in their names is 203. ACCIDENT ON THE GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY.— F. Greening, aged 20, was killed last week by a luggage-waggon passing over his body. The wag- gon weighing four tons, and having goods in it weighing about a ton, was, by the impetus given to it, running slowly into one of the sheds, when the deceased, who was crossing the line, laid hold of the buffer in order to steady himself; his foot slipped and he fell ner(i-s the line, the wheels of the waon going over him.

Each party to pay his own costs of suit. DREADFUL DESTITUTION AT BLACKBURN.—Mon- day an inquest was he!d at Blackburn, on the body of a child named Hindle, whose mother it appeared in evidence, had not earned, upon the average, four shillings per week, out of which she had to pay Is. 2d. house rent, i. e., for shelter from the incle- mency of the season, for she had never been in bed for nine weeks previously, for the famishing mother of the dying child was compelled to nurse her miserable o-T-prmg by the ernoers for many a tedious night, until at length the friendly hand of death released the infant from its agonies. The afflicted mother was compelled to* resort to the parish fund for a coffin, which s he obtained, but not having the means of paying the burial fees, the skeleton of humanity was kept so long un- buried that suspicion began to be ev»;rtcd td the cause of death, and a coroner's inquest was held on the body, when the jury returned a verdict in accordance with the above.
CAPTAIN ELLIOT.
CAPTAIN ELLIOT. The over;ana mp.il has brought us the bppliest piece of r.ews which we could possibly have received from the East. Commissioner Captain Charles Elliot bad arrived at Bombay in the Atalanta." At length, then; this incubus is taken off. and the war with China has assumed its proper character. It is now called a war it is now carried on as a war; .wd it hiils fair to be prosecuted in a manaer worthy of the Dation by which it is waged. As to Elliot, his reception at Bombay appe'-rs to nave been by no means tIatcring-. Sir Gordou Bremer h; with little justice, been implicated in his unpopularity, and the people of Bombay, in compliment to their achievements upon the Bogue forts, have given them the soubriquet of the two bogies. Elliot's last act was to slnd away his plunder-the ransom of Canton-iu two of the most efficient of the ships in the squadron. They say in that this was done as a piece of favouritism to the captains. If so, it is another of the strange contradictions which abound in the conduct of Ei'.iot, that he should imagine it a favour to it captain of a British man-of-war to send his ship out of the way of action, and convert it into a transport. The first act of Sir Henry Pottiiiger was worthy of the eipcctc-tions that had been formed of him. He declares at orce aud distinctly in a proclamation that it was his intention to devote his undivided energies aud thought- to the primary object of srr-nring a speedy and satisfactory close of the war, and that he, therefore, could allow no coosiu^iition co..i>eeted with mercantile pursuits, and Otl.cr interests, to interfere with the strong measures which he might fintl it necessary to authorise and adopt towards the government and subjects of Cbina, with a view to compelling an honourable aud lasting peace. Sir Ileriry Pot tinker, in this proclamn: ion, recognises, as he was bound to do, the truce by which his predeeess had bound him. iiiit he has done so :n a iytiun, r which must convince the Chinese that the time is gone when thev were accustomed to receive civil speecltfs and abject submission in payment for insulting insolence. Our present plenipotentiary tells them plainly tllllt he has DO faith whatever it) their engagements, that he hardly expt Cts that they will keep their promise, but that he stands by ready to pucish them the moment they break it.- Atlas.
