The consequences arising from this dangerous practice are not confined to its pure physical result, but branch to moral ones; leading the excited, deviating mind into a fertile field of seductive error— into a gradual and total degradation of manhood—into a pernicious application of those inherent rights which nature Wisely instituted for the preservation of her s wies briiagfog on prem-ature decrepitude, and all the habitudes of old age^.—Jfach a one carries with him the form and aspect of other men. but without the vigour and energy of that season tririeli his early youth bade him hope to attaim How many men cease to be men, or at least, cease to enjoy manhood at thirty ? How many at eighteen receive the impression of the seeds of Syphilitic disease itselft the consequences of which travel out of the ordiwry track of bodily ailment, covering the frame with disgusting evidences of its ruthless nature, and impregnating tire wholesome stream of life with mottal poison conveying into fa- milies the seeds of disunion and tmhappiness-, Ander. mining domestic harmony; and striking at the very soul of human iotereottrae, The fearfully abused powers of ibe human Generative System require the most cautious preservation and the debility and disease resulting from early indis- cretion demand, for the cure of those dreadful evils, that sueh medicines should be employed that are most certain to be successful, tt is for these cases Messrs. Perry & Co.. particularly designed their CORDIAL BALM OF SYRIACUM which is intended to relieve those persons, who,, by an immoderate indulgence of their passions, have ruined their constitutions, Or in their way to the consummation of that deplorable state, are affected with any of those previous symptoms that betray its approach* as the various affections of the nervous system, obstinate gleets, excess, irregn- larity, obstructions of certain evacuations, weakness, total impotency, barrenness, Itt. As nothing can be better adapted to help and nourtfeh the constitution, so there Is nothing more generally acknowledged to be peculiarly efficacious in all inward wastings, loss of appetite, indigestion, depression of spirits, trembling or shaking of the hands or limbs, obstinate coughs, shortness of breath, or consumptive habits and debility arising from syphilis. It possesses wonderful efficacy in all cases of syphilis, fits, head- ache, weakness, heaviness and lowness of spirits, dimness of sight, confused thoughts, wandering of the luind, vapours and melancholy; and all kinds of hysteric complaints are gradually removed by its use. And even where the disease of STERILITY appears to have taken the firmest hold of the female constitution, the softning tonic qualities of the Cordial Balm of Syriacum will warm and purify the blood and juices, Increase the animal spirits, invigorate and revive the whole animal machine, and remove the use impedi- ment to maternity. This medicine is particularly recommended to be taken before persons outer into the MATHIMONIAL STATE, lest in the event of procreation occurring, the innocent offspring should bear enstamped upon it the physical chaffceters derivable from parental debility, or evil eruptions of a malignant tendency, that are most assuredly introduced by the same neglect and Imprudence.

They have effected the most surprising cures, not only in recent and severe cases, but when salivation and all other means have failed; and are of the utmost importance to those afflicted with Scorbutic Affections, Eruptions on any part of the body, Ulcerations, Scrofulous or Venereal /Taint, being justly calculated to cleanse the blood irom all foulness, countetact every morbid affection, and restore weak and emaciated constitutions to pristine health and vigour.

Purchasers are hereby cautioned to observe Decimus Woodhouse engraved on the Government Stamp, otherwise not genuine. One of many Testimonials Sir, 51, High-street, Borough. .1 was called to a lady, the subject of spasm and sickness .at the stomach, who had taken from advice various remedies without benefit. The spasm increased upon her to th.t degree as to make it doubtful whether or not it was accompanied with inflammation. It. struck me that ordbTWg her a Seidlitz Power, with a tea-spoonful of your inl'alMRble Ethereal Essence of Ginger, it might give relief. Ten minutes after its administration the patient was not only relieved, but did not require my further assistance; and from the effect of this admixture, if I were asked what medi- cines I would advise families to keep by them, I should say Seidlitz Powders, and Woodhouse's Ethereal Es- sence of Ginger, This is not the first instance I have had the opportunity of seeing its wonderful effect in cases of spasm.

The following are a few of the numerous testimo- nials this popular work has received, and which the limits of an advertisement will only allow of being publislied.- The rage for books in all departments of science, literature, and the arts, wa, we believe, never so prevalent as at the present time.—The unavoidable consequence of this is, that we meet a very consider- able proportion of indifferent, Useless, and even bad books.—With the force of this prejudice on our minds, we with no little reluctance were induced to peruse Messrs. Curtis's work, entitled MANHOOD: not did it require much perusal fully to satisfy us that the book was not one of the common stamp.—The scienti- fic views taken by the authors of the source and origin of many of the most distressing effects of certain depraved habits, fully establish their claim to the character of experienced and judicious surgeons.—To quote passages from the work in proof of our assertion would be departing from the established rules of the daily press-The result, however, of our careful peru- sal of the work, has been to impress us with a thorough confidence in the talent and skill of the authors, and to satisfy ua that those entrusted with the care of youth are not a little indebted to them for furnishing them with a means of preventing some of the most frightful maladies to which flesh is heir. Old England. Messrs. Curtis's work, entitled MANHOOD, is one of the few books now coming before the public on such a subject which can lay claim to the character of being strictly professional, at the same time that it is fully intelligible to all who read it.- The moral and medical precepts given in it, render it invaluable.—Magnet. The persual of Messrs. Curtis's book, entitled MANHOOD, has really astonished us by developing a series of maladies, the never-failing consequence of the vicious habit of which it treats.—The clear con- nexion pointed out between the assigned cause and the effects is perceptible to every capacity. We strong, ly recommend the work.-Age. The multitude of books daily coming from the press, some, nay, most of them of a very questionable ten- dency, made us extremely reluctant to take up another. Having, however, been induced by the character given of this work by any intelligent friend, we ventured to open its pages, and now feel no hesitation in saying that we rise from its perusal instructed and edified. The clear exposition of the source of many of those diseases, which proves so fatal to youth, and which are set down by the every-day observer as the result of common causes, such as exposure to cold, sudden vicissitudes of temperature, hereditary taint, etc., is truly convincing and extremely satisfactory.—We say satisfactory, in as much as Messrs. Curtis have shown that many diseases, such as Pulmonary Consump- tion, Epilepsy, etc., hitherto the approbria of medicine, may, when taken m proper time and submitted to judicious treatment, be brought to as favourable a ter- mination, as any other class of affections.-We do not think we go too far in saying that society is deeply indebted to the authors for producing so useful, so much wanted, so valuable, and so truly moral a book-Con- servative Journal. This is a work that we fear there exists too much need for, to cause us to hesitate to recommend it for general perusal. Every branch of those frightful ma- ladies, whether the result of immoral habits or secret vices, is here succinctly treated, and, divested of all medical technicality, plain and easy directions are given for the best wode to be pursued in all cases, however complicated or apparently hopeless. To the married, as well as the unmarried, this little work alike affords consolation and cure in peculiar cases, and we are doing a service to society in recommend- ing it to general notlce.-Esser and Herts Mercury. Messrs. CURTIS and Co., are to be consulted daily at their residence, No. 7, Frith-street, Sollo-square, Lnndon.

I FOUEIGl I
I FOUEIGl I I CHINA AND INDIA. I The following telegraphic despatch was received on Saturday by the French government:— MALTA, March 1, Six p.m.—The Great Lirerpotl arrived this evening from Alexandria with the India mail. The latest news from Affghanistan extends to December 2S. The position there was still very critical. Sir Wm, l\I'N a <.rhten, the British Envoy at the court of the Shah Shoojah, was assas- sinated Dec. 25, in a cowardly manner, by the I chief of the insurrection, in an interview with him on the subject of the evacuation of Cabool. A journal announces the death of Lord Elphin- stönè from an attack of gout. The news from China extends to November 13. The-e was a question of the immediate return to Macao of Sir Henry Pottinger, to make a fresh demonstration against Canton, the inhabitants of which have again violated the treaty. The Erigone arrived at Macao on the 8th of December. WAR wlTn MEXICO. — The~TMexicans' having treated the Americans made prisoners in the Santa Fe expedition in a harsh manner, the southern states of the American Union have taken prelimi- nary measures, of a strongly decisive nature, for the vindication of the American character, and the symptoms are of a nature likely to lead to an immediate collision between those States and Mexico. EXTRAORDINARY BillTii.-A woman of the name of Ferrers, at Port Philip, was brought to bed. on I the 3d of July last, of six children at one birth; a circumstance, we suppose, unparalleled in the records of medical history. The mother is wife to an honest and industrious man, follow ing the labours of splitter and fencer; she is rather a I small woman than otherwise, and professes to I have felt no more inconvenience previous to con- finement than in ordinary cases. She lias been a mother twice before.

THE COURT.—Her Majesty, accompanied by his Royal H ighncss Prince Albert and their Serene Highnesses the Princes of Saxe Coburg, and at- tended by a numerous suite, arrived til Bucking- ham Palace, from the Pavilion at Brighton last Tuesday afternoon. On her Majesty's visit to the Queen in Ports- mouth dockyard, she tasted the soup and three- water grog" of the crew, and remarked with a dash somewhat in the Queen Elizabeth spirit, and with a smile, that it "was not strong enough"—a remark which the sailors relished wonderfully, and will long be remembered in the Navy. Iler Ma- jesty evidently is no teetotaller. During her Majesty's visit to Portsmouth she went on board the Queen, at Spitheaa, the largest vessel in the British navy. Her Majesty was conducted into the interior of the ship, As soon as she came below, 1.200 sailors (that being the number of the crew of the vessel) were standing to receive her, each with a glas. of grog in his hand. (!) The words, "Long life to the Queen," ran^ through the ship, which was responded to with the most tumultuous checking by the whole crew. Her Majesty was told that such were the cheers with which Britislt sailors commenced fighting in an action. (!) C During the time Prince Albert and the Princes Augustus and Leopold were on the pier, the sea was running so high that it dashed over, atd the Royal party were struck by a wave and completely drenched. At this time her Majesty was on the cliffs in a carriasfe watching the ocean, and laughed heartily At the manner in which her Itoyoi Ccnsort braved the storm. The Prince walked up to the carriage, but, on acctmnt of the wet state he was in from the spray and rain, declined entering:, and returned to the Palace on foot-i WEALTH OF THE I.ATF, DUKF. OF CLEVELAND.— It is Said that by the late Duke of Cleveland's death, his eldest son, the present Duke, succeeds to -cso,ooo,a year. Lord William Poulet has a legacy of R360,000, and Lord Harry another of! is a legacy of £ 201),000 to a grandson the Dowager Duchess has the York- shire estates, the house in Grosvenbr square, and an immense amount of plate, jewellery, and furni- ture. A large pot tion of the unentailed estates in Durham goes to one of his daughters. His Gracti, it is said, had £ 1,250,000 in the three-and- a-balfper écllt. consols, besides plate and jewellery to the value of a niijlion stealing! By the List af <*M Pciinohs granted between the 20th day of June, 1840, and the 20th day of June, 1841, and charged upon the Civil List," which has recently been printed and circulated by order of the House of Commons, it appears that pensions amounting in all to 650/. have been granted to seven of her Majesty's teachers of various languages, of music, and of dancing,—" in consideration (as the explanatory column of the paper states) of the ser- vices rendered to her Majesty during her education. OUR J OSEPH,-It is written that a Minister, whose name was Joseph, obtained his place and kept it, by making corn abundant in the land he ruled over. Our Joseph pursues an opposite course,—quibbles about prices and averages,— strains his ingenuity to continue corn scarce, and, strange to say, attains and retains his post by the very course that in any other country would have made either impossible. He enacts' a law to con- tinue scarcity, and mocks us by calling this, pro- tection. It is among the wonders of out times that such a man should be the first Minister of an empire on which the sun never sets.Examir.er. Mr. Bellamy, so AVell known by all who frequent the House of Commons; has sent in his resigna- tion of the offices* of housekeeper and keeper of the refreshment rooms. Mr. Bellamy was actu- ally horn in the House of Commons, 69 years ago, and for many years he has been engaged in active duty in the service of the house. This resignation will lead, we hear; to a division of the offices which he held. By the death öf Mr. Woodthofpc; a sum of 1,2001. a-vear, Which was set asideont of his salary as town clerk of the city of London (which he stated to be fixed at 5,000/.) for his creditors, will, of course, cease. Mr. Woodthorpe was compelled, in 1837, to avail himself of the benefit of the In- solvent Debtors' Act, and voluntarily offered to agree to any sum the Court might annually appor- tion to his creditors. Upwards of 5,0001. have been obtained for the creditors inserted in the schedule filed by Mr. Woodthorpe, who has held the situation for nearly 30 years. The corporation of London will, it is said, con- siderably reduce the salary of the office of town- clerk, vacant by the death of Mr. Woodthorpe, who had 2,0001. per annum. A NEW NATIONAL INSTITUTION.—A society has been recently formed in London, which is design- ated The National Anti-Tobacco and Temperance I Association," the members of which are required to subscribe the following pledge:—" We agree to abstain from tobacco, snuff, cigars, opium, and in- toxicating liquors, fermented or distilled, or any article that might be substituted for either of such said liquors. We will also, in every suitable way, discountenance their use throughout the commu- nity." Dr. Oxlev, of London; is President of the Society. FIn.-Last Tuesday night a fire broke out in the premises of Mr. G. Davidson, printer and stereotype founder, Tudor street, Blackfriars. In a very "short space of time it made rapid progress, and the inhabitants of the vicinity were aroused from their beds by the intense reflection of the flames. A supply of water having after consider- able delay been obtained, the several firemen ex- erted themselves in an extraordinary manner: but for a long period without causing any visible dimi- nution to the ravages of the destructive element. The whole of Mr. Davidson's premises were a mass of flames, and flakes of melted lead flew about in all directions on the firemen, subjecting them to serious inconvenience. The ponderous printing presses soon fell from the upper story to the ground, and before twelve o'clock not a beam of the range of premises occupied as the printing office was left standing. The whole of Mr. Priest's warehouses and upper floors were also completely destroyed. At the expiration of one hour and a half the flames gave evidence of having nearly ex- hausted themselves, and renewed efforts being made, all danger of the damage extending beyond the premises enumerated was at an end. IMPROVEMENT OF BOROI FIIRT AND REGULATION OF BUILDINGS THEREIN.—TwO important Bills, origi- nating with the Marquis of Norn's an by in the House of Lords, the one for promoting improve- ments in boroughs—the Other for the regulation of huilding-s therein, have been thrown ont of the House of Commons, on a. p^-t rtf privilege; but Mr. Fox Maule re-introduced them the following day. Sir James Graham is reported to have ex- pressed himself as follows On their re-introduc- tion Therew s one important provision in the Boroughs-Improvement Bill, to which he had a serious objection, enabling ?oK'?!-Co?'-?< to mort- ?f?? ?c &oroK?-M?, n-.?o?? ??y ?'y/???OK, for I the purpose of making these improvements. That was certain! v rather a dangerous power, and one to which he could not at once subscribe. We quite agree with Sir James that this would be rather a dangerous power; but we find no such power granted by the Bill, or even alluded to in it. There must be some mistake. [The ratepa\ersof boroughs should, nevertheless, watch these mea- sures well.] We are glad to perceive a disposition on the part of the government to act with promptitude and vigour in the case of the forged Exchequer Bills. An erroneous paragraph appeared in the Obser- ver, and has been copi -d into most of the morning papers, stating that Mr. Hutton Perkins, one of the cashiers in the Civil Service Pay Office at the Treasury, had disappeared from his post, being a defaulter to the amount of R2,000, which he had procured in stamps from the Stamp-office. The fact is not as there represented. At the Marylebone Vestry on Saturday, the question which has been so long agitated, of pa- ving Oxford-street with wood, was finally settled, there being in favour of the measure 41 against it. 24. The decision was loudly cheered by the rate-payers. There were several destructive fires in London last Saturday. j PorvL*11 CKEDVT.ITv— Tor. EARTII<5I:AK".— The 'poor of the Irish people, in various parts poor c i P,!?,s of tile of the metropolis, who believe in the absurd pre- diction of the earthquake, which is to take place on the 16th of March, and supersed e the Police Act, bv swallowing up London and H niles be- Act 'by have been imposed upon with another storv-, that Paol s Cathedral has already sunk jl five feet, and all the churches one of two feet each, while the Custom House is reported to be fast disappearing in the bowels ofth earth. The cre- dulity oftlw IrIsh on this subject is extraordinary, and it is a fact that many of them visited Thames- street and St. Paul's Chutch-vard on Sunday, to ascertain how much of the Custom House and the Cathedral had disappeared and the writer heard an Irishman on Sunday morning, near St. Paul's, saying, Faith, now, the great big church don't look so high as It did some time ago." A CAUTION-—The rate-payers should be very careful to elect judicious, experienced, and hu- mane persons for guardians. The proper manage- ment of the poor, as well as the rates, depends on I this. If the poor are badly used, the rate-payers have only themselves to blame. A HINT TO VOTERS.—Rate-payers, being par- liamentary voters, should see that their names are correctiv entered in the overseers' list of assess- ment of the poor and if there are any inaccu- racies, they should have them corrected, or their suffrage at the next registration will be endangered. CALUMNIES OF MANUFACTURERS. The impor- tance of Mr. Ferrand's speeches is neither in their author (Ferrand or Oastler, as the case may be), nor in their matter or their manner but in scrue thing extrinsic from all. It is in the fact thdt the ruling party in the country has become accessary to imputation:* that tovieh the national character; and that the Prime Minister himself sits by quietly and complacently, while we are held up to the world as a degraded people, whose commerce injured by their flagrant dishonesty. Gross fra-td is charged upon the British manufacturer to such an extent as to injure the foreign trade of the country. About this allegation there can He no dispute. It is the version of those who blame Mr. Ferrhnd, and of thè who praise him. '?We are losing the ,'oHd's custom by the merited re- putation of being cheats that i§ the charge of which Sir Robert Peel hears proclamation madt in the Legislature. His party attest its truth by their cheers, and it has at least the sanction of his silence. THE AGRICULTURAL REPRESENTATI\ ES. One honourable gentleman is exhibited in the felici- tous position of voting against his own proposi- tion another is in the throes and sweet of a patriotic an-ony lest 6d. too little protection on barley should prove a nation:-l calamity so terri- ble that war, famine, or pestilence would be m comparison but as dust in the balance. Nbw Lord SANDON exclaims for more protection for the mil- lers, and views as portentous the increased facility for the introduction of Canadian or American flour. Then the highly-gifted and eloquent membet for Limerick county comes forth and with lugubrious aspect tells us that the reduction of the duty on onts will ruin the Irish farmers; and. strange to say, he was supported in this view by Messrs. REDINGTON and MORC.\N JOHN O'CoNNr;,L. IVII.N we should have as soon expected to see a race- horse Or Avar-charger tAmeIv submitting to be yoked to the pldu«~-h side bv side with a heavy Suffolk gelding, as to find these impetuous young men sympathising with the gentle dulness of a KNATCIIEULL or participating in the superstitious prejudices of a WODEHOHSF. or a BATESON. Mr. M. J. O CO.NNELL gets nothing by his ptoceed.ng efc- cept a severe and, we are sorry to add, a just castigation from Sir ROBERT PEEL, who commented with happy effect upon the inconsistency of the roan who could vote on one night for the total abolition of all protective duties whatever upon grain, and on another evening come forward and gravely declare that the high protective duty upon oats ought to be maintained in preference to a reduce d scale. Verily this corn lair question doth turn men's brains, and betray them into hallucinations and iiicoberencies so passing strange that we can but look on and mar- vel, without endeavouring to account for the phe- nomenon. POSITION OF THE AGRICULTURIST, — A Tory member lately declared that he had been hostile to Lord Melbourne's Administration because it proposed bad measures which it could not carry. The agricultural party, to which this gentleman belongs, have now the great comfort and satisfac- tion of supporting a Government that proposes bad measures which it can carry. It must be a solid gratification to them. Certainly, when they went to the poll at the general election, it was not with any suspicion that they were throwing down a Government for proposing a change in the Corn Laws to substitute another whose very first peremptory act would be a change in the Corn Laws. Had the country party exerted itself less strenuously at the elections, it follows that their monopoly might at this moment have remained undisturbed. But, like pigs in swimming, they have been vigorously cutting their own throatg. What have the agriculturists got by raising Sir Robert Peel andhis followers (friends he has none) to power ? They have got forced upon them by the present Ministry what they would success- fully have resisted from the hands of their prede- cessors. The strength derived from them is turned against the verv object for the defence of which it was conferred. Mr. Cristopher calls it, indeed, a compromise—a compromise without de- mandants, according to the arguments of those who insist that there is no public feeling against the Corn Laws—and, looking to the real divisions of public opinions, a compromise which uK one is disposed to accept and to abide by-a compromise, in shoft, without any willing or acquiescing par- ties, which is, according to common notions, no compromise at all. But these monstrous incon- sistencies are only the natural consequencies of a tissue of false pretences, in which we leave Sir Robert Peel on the one hand, and on the other the agriculturists whom he was deceived, to flounder. I f Sir Robert Peel had confessed the justice and force of the Anti-Corn-Law cause, Jiis measure might be weak and inadequate, but his motive would be intelligible; but as it is, there is nothing but bollowness and deceit in it, and well-pro- [ voted disgust to all parties.—Examiner. MR. FERRAND.-lbe foul-mouthed Corn factor ? cowed now. Mr. CObden't refiitation on Friday of Ferrand's allegations was decisive and trium- phant, and placed his accuser in a most unenviable position. Mr. Villiers fodott ed, and read a decla- ration signed by seventy-two of the principal Lan- cashire Manufacturers belonging to the League, indignantly repudiating the foul and malignant ca- lumnies cast upon them. Mr. Ferrand denied having brought any charge against Mr. Cobden, denied having made the general charge conveyed in the words that appear in the published copy of his speech, and endeavoured to escape from the imputation of wilful mis-statement, by declaring that he could prove his charge against some mem- bers d the League. I:> A FFOR tHE BREAD TAXERS.—Although the isle-of Guernsey is open for the importation of corn, drtty free, from all parts of the world, the rent of the land is not less than £5 per acre. The natives "f Guernsey are free from poverty, and are characterised for their integrity and independence. 1-NE.QUAL TAXATION*.—The rich man pays no more duty upon his high-flavoured Pekoe or gun- powder tea, at 10s. per lb., than the washerwoman pays for the cheapest Bohea., worth about Is. 8d. Both pay 2s. Id. duty. Again, the rich man pays no more duty on the best coffee than the poor woman pays for the worst. It is the same with other articles hence, as stated by Mr. Hindle, out of every shilling spent on such articles the rich man pays 2Jd. to the state, whilst the tax on the poor who spend a shilling on similar articles is 61d. !—The Struggle.

REFORM AT THE CORNER."—The subscription room at Tdttersall's is now under the control of the Jockey Club, and the subscribers are required to sign a paper, binding themselves to abide by the present laws, and any that may hereafter be made. V'ro George Bentinck, we understand; refuses to sign, ad therefore is no longer a mem- ber of the room. THE LATE MURDER AT WARRINOTON.—John Taylor, the murderer of James Taylor, his bro- ther, aged 33, upon the evidence of the deceased an 's wife, has been committed on the jury's ver- dict of Wilful murder," to take his trial at the next Liverpool Assizes. BUENOS AYRF.AN MUTT'^W—Tlie Chtrtth, Cap- tain Wbitlcy, arrived at Liverpool from Buenos Ayres, brought sixty hams and shoulders of mut- ton, of splendid quality, from Buenos Ayres, which are now rotting" at the Custom-house, the pro- hibition as to importation being positive. The cost in Buenos Ayres was ilid. per lb., and the freight some^herie about id. per lb. POISONING IN NOTTINGHAM.—A coal higgler, named Robinson, living about two miles from Not- tingham. was in the constant habit of attending the market, and as constantly intoxicated. He was decoyed into a notorious house, and produced about 25s., which the man and his wife who kept the house determined tii get; they therefore sent the servant erirl for some laudanum to mix. with his liquor. He was then robbed, turned into the street, and died almost immediately. A verdict of "Wilful murder" vas returned. RAILWAY ACCIDENT.—On Thursday afternoon; John Scott, of Oakwellgate, stoker on the Brand- ling Junction Railway, accidentally fell upon the rails at the Gateshead station, and one of the wag- gons passed oVer his leg. He was moved to the Newcastle infirmary, where, we understand, he is doing well.Gftfesftearf Observer. The monument to Muir.

Mr. H itchings would have become entitled to the iinmense personal property of the rich banker, which he announced his intention of distributing amongst his children, grand-children, and great grand children, but the decision of the ludical Committee of the Privy Council reversed that of Sir Herbert J. Fust. lie- fore the last decision was given lie appeared, not- withstanding his great age, a very hale and hearty old man, and was remarkable for his cheer- ful habits and very retentive memory, be ap- peared likely to live many years longer, and there is no doubt the unexpected reverse -he met with shortened his days. FAILURE OF A n.\NK, AT BRIGHTON. — Last Friday, the following notice was posted at the door — Messrs. Wigncy and Co. regret to state that they are under the painful necessity of suspending payments. Brighton Bank, March 4, 1842. The news spread like wildfire through the town. producing the utmost consternation. At one o'clock a meeting Was called, when an expression of confidence in the two other banks, namely, the Union Bank (Messrs. Hall, West, Borrer and Hall)i and the London and County Joint-Stock Bank was given. THE STATE OF OUR PRISo..s.The following is a list of cases taken from the Report of the Inspec- tors of Prisons:— "In the dark cell for the fcfmctorr 1 found a prisoner lying upon the floor; who had been there for severnl diiva upon bread and water. One of the turnkeys in charge of him states, 'This prisoner was committed on the 14th of December for two months, for breaking windows in the union workhonse. One of the turnkeys brought hi- tto me on Tuesday, about a fortnight ago, and told me I was to keep him in the refractory cell all the time he had to stay here. I asked him a day or two afterwards how Jong hf was to be keptthtre, and he told me foi the remainder ot his time. I understood he had been making noise in the night. The keeper state, I tridk him before the maeistrate for refractory conduct, and was ordered to put him into another ) cell. I had no written order for Continuing him in the f dark cell so long.' In another part of the prison I fonnd seven youths in solitary confinement, who had been Com- mitted for refractory conduct in a union PQor-hnuse. They made the following statements, which proved to be correct: •' W. E., age 19-Has, been here seven weeks, Rnd is sentenced to four month's imprisonment. Has only seen the keeper twice the chaplain and surgeon have never been to him can read and right has no book takes ex- ercise for ten minutes or a quarter of an hoiir in the morn- iug, when let down to wash he has ltlb. of bread and a quart of gruel daily.

"These prisoners were at first placed upon bread and water, but have since been allowed a quart of gruel in ad- dition. Upon questionine the chaplain why these prisnn» ers were not visited by him, and were unprovided w" books, he stated. 'The order, as I understand from the keeper, relative to these boys, is, that I am Dot to wit hero, nor are i bey to have books in fact, they are to se< nobody.' The keeper states. A magistrate -directed at: verbaiiv not to permit the prisoners frotu tfeepoor-ttpuMtcf he visited by the chaplain.'
