Jersey, July 10, 1847. TWENTY-FIFTH EDITION. Illustrated by anatomical colored engravings on steel. ON PHYSICAL DISQUALIFICATIONS, GENE- RATIVE INCAPACITY, AND IMPEDIMENTS TO MARRIAGE. A new and improved edition, enlarged to 196 pages, price 2s. 6d.; by post, direct from ths establishment, 3S, 6d. in postage stamps, "THE SILENT FRIEND;" A MEDICAL WORK on the exhaustion and physi- cal decay of the system, produced by excessive indul- gence, the consequences of infection, or the abuse of mer- enry, with obsevations on the married state, and the dis- qualifications which prevent it; illustrated by 26 colored engravings, and by the detail of cases. By R. and L. Perry and Co., 19, Berners-Etreet, Oxford-street, London. Published by the authors, and sold by Strange, 21, Pater- noster-row Hannay, 63, and Sangar, 150, Oxford-street; Starie, 23, Titchborne-street. Haymarket; and Gordon, 146, Leadenhall-street, London; J. and R. Raimes and Co., Leith-walk, Edinburgh D. Campbell, Argyll-street, Glasgow; J. Priestley, Lord-street, and T. Newton, Church-street, Liverpool; R. H. Ingham, Market-street, Manchester. PART THE FIRST Is dedicated to the consideration of the anatomy and phy- siology of the organs which are directly or indirectly en- gaged in the process of reproduction. It is illustrated by six colored engravings. PART THE SECOND Treats of the infirmities and decay of the system produced by over-indulgence of the passions, and by the practice of solitary gratification. It shews clearly the manner in which the baneful consequences of this indulgence operate on the economy in the impairment and destruction of the social and vital powers. The existence of nervous and seKual debility and incapacity, with their accompanying train of symptoms and disorders, is traced by the chain of connecting results to their cause. This section con- cludes with an explicit detail of the means by which these effects may be remedied, and full and ample directions for their use. It is illustrated by three colored engravings, which fully display the effects of physical decay. PART THE THIRD Contains an accurate description of the diseases caused by infection, and by the abuse of mercury; primary and se- condary symptoms, eruptions of the skin, sore throat, in- flammation of the eyes, disease of the bones, gonorrhoea, gleet, stricture, &c., are shown to depend on this cause. Their treatment is fully described in this section. The effects of neglect, either in the recognition of disease or in the treatment, are shown to be the prevalence of the virus in the system, which sooner or later will show itself in one ef the forms already mentioned, and entail disease in its most frightful shape, not only on the individual him- self, but also on the offspring. Advice for the treatment of all these diseases and their consequences is tendered in this section, which if duly followed up, cannot fail in effect- ing a cure. This part is illustrated by seventeen colored engravings. PART THE FOURTH Treats of the preventative lotion, an application by the use of which all danger of infection is completely avoided, and the painful and destructive maladies described in the preceding sections thoroughly prevented. Full and ex- plicit directions are given for its use, and its modus ope- randi clearly explained. PART THE FIFTH Is devoted to the consideration of the duties and obliga- tions of the married state, and of the causes which lead to the happiness or misery of those who have entered into the bends of matrimony. Disquietudes and jars between married couples are traced to depend, in the majority of instances, on causes resulting from physical imperfections and errors, and the means for their removal are shown to be within reach, and effectual. The operation of certain disqualiifcation's is fully examined, and infelicitous and unproductive unions shown to be the necessary conse- quence. The causes and remedies for this state form an important consideration in this section of the work. THE CORDIAL BALM OF SY-RIACUM Is exclusively employed to renovate the impaired powers of life, when exhausted by the influence exerted by soli- tary indulgence on the system. Its action is purely bal- samic its powers in reinvigorating the frame in all cases of nervous and sexual debility, obstinate gleets, impo- tency, barrenness, and debilities arising from venereal excesses, have been demonstratedlby its unvarying success in thousands of cases. To those persons who are pre- vented from entering the married state by the conse- quences of early errors it is invaluable. Price lis. per bottle, or four quantities in one for 33s.' THE CONCENTRATED DETERSIVE ESSENCE. An anti-syphilitic remedy, for purifying the system from veneral contamination, and is recommended for any of the varied forms of secondary symptoms, such as eruptions on the skin, blotches on the head and face, enlargement of the throat, tonsils, and uvula; threatened destruction of the nose, palate, &c. Its action is purely detersive, and its beneficial influence on the system is undeniable. Price Us. and 33s. per bottle. The Z5 cases of Syriacum or Concentrated Detersive Essence can only be had at 19, Berners-street, Oxford-' street, London; whereby there is a saving of £ 1 12s., and the patient is entitled to receive advice without a fee, which advantage is applicable only to those who remit £ 5 for a packet. PERRY'S PURIFYING SPECIFIC PILLS. Price 2s. 9d., 4s. Gd., and Us. per box. Those pills, each box of which are accompanied with explicit directions, are well known throughout Europe to be the most certain and effectual remedy ever discovered for gonorrhoea, both in its mild and aggravated forms. They immediately allay the imflammation by their specific influence on the urethra, and arrest the future progress of the disease. Gleets, strictures, irritations, and chronic inflammations of the bladder, pains of the loins and kidneys, gravel, and other disorders of the urinary passages, in either sex, are speedily and permanently cured, without confinement or the least exposure. PERRY'S PREVENTATIVE LOTION, Price 33s., or in C5 cases. The deplorable consequences and the many horrible diseases which result from gonorrhoea, syphilis, &c., have no doubt a very great influence on men, and drive them to the commission of offences which are contrary to law, morals, and the well-being of society. A certain preven- tative has long been a desideratum, and thlsl the Messrs. Perry are now enabled to offer in their lotion used in accordance with the printed directions, it affords a safe- guard against the approach of disease. Its action is sim- ple, but sure it combines with the virtue chemically, and destroys its power on the system, so that there cannot be any chance of disease, when it has been once employed. In all cases of consultation by letter, the usual fee of one pound must be forwarded, either by post-office order or otherwise. Patients are requested to be as minute as possible in the detail of their cases, noting especially the duration of the complaint, the mode of its commencing, its symptoms and progress, age, habits of living, and general occupation. Medicines can he forwarded to any part of the world: no difficulty can occur, as they will be securely packed, and carefully protected from all observation.

II Sir,-As an act of justice to Mr. Twining, the skilful compounder of the above paste (as he calls it), and in compassion to those who are afflicted with that distressing malady, called the tooth-ache, I beg to say that seeing his advertisement in your paper some months since, and know- ing that several of my neighbours were grievously tor- mented with it, and had applied to me for relief, notwith- standing my aversion to advertisements, and the small credit T usually give them, I sent for this paste, and have tried it withn ever-failing effect on both high, low, rich, and poor, ever since. The particulars can be given to any who may take the trouble to inquire, and I sincerely be- lieve, sir, that to those who really have the tooth-ache it will prove an effectual cure, and that it may also remu- nerate Mr. Twining is the sincere wish of "Your obedient servant, "W.

The authors of this valuable work have taken a very comprehensive view of the evils arising from certain per- nicious habits contracted by young people, also of com- plaints which are, we fear, too much neglected by the general practitioner. The mode of treatment and cure is clearly defined in this work, which cannot fail to be read with peculiar interest by those to whom it is more particu- larly addressed. It will prove an excellent companion to those suffering from indiscretion and effect of excess. -Era. We strongly recommend the perusal of this work, which contains much valuble information on a certain class of complaints which deserves public attention.-Galway Vindicator. The authors treat their subject in a scientific and philo- sophical maner.—Enniskillen Chronicle. The timid and diffident will here find solace and advice; and those apprehensive of entering the marriage state, consequent on previous errors, most valuable information. —Armagh Guardian. THE CORDIAL BALM OF ZEYLANICA, OR NATURE'S GRAND RESTORATIVE, is exclusively directed to the cure of nervous sexual de- bility syphilis, obstinate gleets, irregularity, weakness, im- potency, barrenness, loss of appetite, indigestion, con- sumptive habits, and debilities arising from venereal ex- cesses, &c. It is a most powerful and useful medicine in all cases of syphilis, constitutional weakness or any of the previous symptoms which indicate approaching dissolu- tion, such as "depression of the spirits, fits, headache, wanderings ot the mind, vapors and melancholy, trem- bling or shaking of the hands or limbs, disordered nerves, obstinate coughs, shortness of breath, and inward wast- ings." The fine softening qualities of the Cordial Balm of Zeylanica are peculiarly adapted to remove such symptoms and gradually restore the complete system to a healthy state—even where "sterility" seems to have f08- taned on the female constitution, this medicine will warm and purify the blood and fluids, invigorate the body, and remove every impediment. This medicine should be taken previous to persons en- tering the matrimonial state, to prevent the offspring suf- fering from the past imprudence of the parents, or inherit- ing any seeds of disease which is too frequently the case. Sold in bottles, price 4s. and Ils. each, or the quantity of four in one large bottle for 33s. by which lis. is saved. TheagJ cases (the purchasing of which will be a saving of £ 1 12s.) may be had us usual at 68, Berners-street, Oxford-street, London, and patients in the country who require a course of this admirable medicine, should send £5 by letter which will entitle them to the full benefit of such advantage. BRODIE'S PURIFYING VEGETABLE PILLS are universally acknowledged to be the best and surest remedy for the cure of the venereal disease in both sexes, including gonorrhoea, gleets, secondary symptoms, stric- tures, seminal weakness, deficiency, and all|diseases of the urinary passages, without loss of time, confinement, or hindrance from business. These pills, which do not con- tain mercury, have never been known to fail in effecting a cure, not only in recent but in severe cases, where sali- vation and other treatment has been inefficient; a perse- verance in the purifying vegetable pills, in which Messrs. Brodie have happily compressed the most puritving and healing virtues of the vegetable system, and which is of the utmost importance to those afflicted with scorbutic affections, eruptions on any part of the body, ulcerations, scrofulous or venereal taint, will cleanse the blood from all foulness, counteract every morbid affection, and restore weak and emaciated constitutions to pristine health and vigour.

FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.
FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. FRANCE. ADVANCE OF THE CHOLERA.-The French govern- ment only consider the arrival of cholera in France as probable, but have already with praiseworthy fore- sight, ordered measures to mitigate its severity, if not to arrest progress. These had been ordered with commendable secrecy, but also with a promptitude and an energy highly creditable to the government. Are they not worthy of imitation here ? FRENCH DIPLOMACY IN THE RIVER PLATE.—The Constitutionnel announces the arrival at Toulon of Count Walewski, the French plinepotentiary to La Plata. Count Walewski sailed from Monte Video for France on the 3rd of August, in the Cassini. In consequence of Lord Howden having ordered the British squadron to raise the blockade of Buenos Ayres, Count Walewski considered it expedient to return to France for fresh instructions. This is an occurrence of considerable importance and signifi- cance with reference to the present state of affairs in that part of the world. The French envoy is thought to have found himself placed in a situation (arising out of disagreements with Lord Howden) not foreseen by his instructions, and which called for some very important determination on the part of the French government. SPAIN. SUDDEN CHANGE OF MINISTRY.—-While the mea- sures of the Salamanca ministry, described below, were in the course of vehement discussion, and the prolonged stay of Narvaez in the capital, after having resigned the Paris embassy, was held to argue the renewal of negociations for his return to power, the following startling announcement made its ap- pearance. We give it from the Paris journals of Wednesday night:—" The government has by a tele- graphic despatch, dated Madrid, October 4, the news that her Majesty the Queen Isabella has appointed a new ministry, of which the following is the com- position :—President of the council and minister for foreign affairs, General Narvaez minister of the in- terior, M. Sartorius; minister of finance, M. Or- lando; minister of public instruction, M. Ros de Olano minister of war, M. Cordova. The o.,don- nance which constitutes the ministry was published in the Gazette of the 4th. Madrid was perfectly tranquil." MEASURES OF THE NEW MINISTRY.—The Madrid Gazette has published several decrees for measures recommended by M. Salamanca, with a view to the better administration of the finances and the re-estab- lishment of public credit. Among them is one that removes the prohibition to sell property, formerly belonging to religious communities, monasteries, and convents, which may in future be alienated. Ano- ther authorises the sale of the property called pro- prios. A third decree relates to primary instruction. A fourth appropriates the revenues of all the national property of the mines of Almaden and others in the kingdom, and the snrplus of the colonial receipts, to the payment of the interest of the domestic and foreign debt, Three per Cents.; and other decrees, since published, determine the organic laws of the civil administration of the kingdom, and the organi- sation of the administrative councils." The kingdom is hereafter to be divided into eleven governments- general, in each of which will be placed a civil gover- nor-general, who will have under his orders as many civil governors as there are provinces within his juris- diction, and civil delegates in each district. The number of members of the royal council are also re- duced from thirty to twenty. These last are sup- posed to be measures of some importance, as they will tend to diminish the power of the military chiefs. SCANDALOUS GossIP.-Improper statements as to the royal household having obtained renewed currency, the National properly treats such scandalous rumors as false, because it will not believe that a young lady brought up under the moral influence of such a monitor as Queen Christina could by any possi- bility incur the slightest reflection upon her con- duct. ITALY. EVACUATION OF FERRARA.-The Univers pulishes a letter from Rome of the 28th ult., announcing the evacuation of Ferrara by the Austrians. Assuming that statement as correct, the correspondent of the Univers observes, That event is equivalent for Austria and her allies to the loss of a pitched battle, and adds considerably to the glory already acquired by the sovereign Pontiff. The position of M. Rossi is no longer tenable. I have been assured that he has obtained an unlimited leave of absence, and that he will quit Rome in a few days." The Semaphore de Marseilles of the 2nd inst. states that the report of the approaching evacuation of Ferrara by the Aus- trians was current in Rome on the 27th ult.; and that orders had been sent from Vienna to the com- mander of the citadel to withdraw the troops from the town on the 3rd inst. NEAPOLITAN DISTURBANCES.—The accounts from Naples continue most contradictory. According, however, to information, which may be regarded as authentic, the insurrection was gaining ground in Calabria, and the troops who had hitherto remained loyal to the King, were unequal to its suppression. The Neapolitan government, on the other hand, pub- lished on the 27th ult. a long expose of the situation of the kingdom, from which it appeared that tran- quillity was restored in Sicily and the continental provinces, and that the chiefs of the insurrection had made their submission. The Semaphore states that the Calabrian insurgents had offered to lay down their arms, provided the King would change his ministry and adopt certain reforms. His Majesty, however, rejected the offer, and enjoined the generals commanding in Calabria to pursue the rebels with more vigor and severity than ever. LIBERTY OF THE PRESS AT LuccA.-The Lucca Gazette of the 27th ult. contains the new law on the press, according to which everybody has a right to publish his opinions and discuss the acts of the go- vernment, with provisoes that reduce the right to nothing. All publications against religion, morality, and the rights of the sovereign, are to be severely punished. The law likewise prohibits offences against magistrates and clergymen; as also against writings tending directly to subvert public order and the security of the state. GERMANY. THE KINO OF PRUSSIA.-—His Majesty visited the °, i °n j°ut'ney from Munster to Hanover, the little town of Engers, in Westphalia, for the pur- pose of paying his respects to the tomb of Withekind, the ancient Saxon warrior and liberador of Germany in the ninth century. RKVISAL OF A SENTENCE.—A most extraordinary case of law took place a few days ago at Cassel, which is certainly not very creditable to the judica- ture f ^he SQiall German states. An English officer .°^ ;u' *-° mention his name), it appea,rs was arrested nearly twenty years ago upon a charge of arson he was kept in prison during ten years before his trial took place, and then sentenced by a military court to ten years' penitentiary. He neglected to £ l^e ^°t'ce of his intention to appeal to a higher tribu- nal at the proper time, but appealed, nevertheless, afterwards; and the revisal of his sentence took that learned court nearly ten years, when just about the time his sentence had expired, the judges came to the conclusion to find him guiltless, and to annul the first sentence. MAUIA. LOUISA.- The Augsburg Gazette of the 2nd instant repeats its assertion of the Archduchess ivlaria Louisa's intention to resign her sovereignty over Paraia. SWITZERLAND. LORD JMINTO'S MISSION.—We read in the Helvtie of the 2nd :—"Before quitting Switzerland for Italy, Lord Minto had a conference at Lucerne with the representatives of Switzerland, France, Austria, and I russia. The English diplomatist wished to view with his own eyes men and things, which had been represented to his government by M. Morier and by Mr. Peel in diametrically opposite lights. It is said that he did not long remain in doubt, and that his judgment is entirely favorable to the cause of the federal majority. An official despatch from the English minister for foreign affairs has made the di- rectory acquainted with the mission of Lord Minto. In this document Lord Palmerston uses terms ex- pressive of great good-will towards the federal au- thority, and speaks in a manner most honorable to its president, M. Ochsenbein. His language bears I no resemblance to that of M. Bois le Comte. We may be assured that England will oppose every species of foreign intervention in the affairs of Switz- erland and Italy." RUSSIA. PROSPECTS OF POT.IAND.-It is believed in St. Pe- I tersburg, that none of the persons who may be con- demned for the insurrection in Galicia will be exe- cuted, but that the resplve of the Emperor to exter- minate the Polish nation by indirect means is fixed. The new levy of 80,000 conscripts ordered by the Emperor was partly with a view to the extermination of the petite noblesse of Poland, who are compelled to furnish one man for every ten inhabitants, and partly to meet the havoc which it is feared the cho- lera will make in the ranks of the army. MEXICO. By the last mails we learn that the Americans and Mexicans were negociating a treaty for the suspen- sion of the war, and an armistice had been concluded. General Valencia was trying to get up a revolution against Santa Anna, which might impede negocia- tions. An armistice was signed, and the commissi- oners meet Mr. Trist at Itzcapusalco, a league from Mexico. INDIA. The extraordinary express in anticipation of the August overland mail brings intelligence from Lahore to the 12th, from Delhi and Meerut to the 18th, Cal- cutta to the 20th, Madras to the 24th, and Bombay to the 31st of August. The intelligence generally is of a peaceful and very pleasing complexion, though not of any great or particular interest. Sir Charles Napier had sent in the formal resignation of his governorship, and was to quit Scinde about the 12th or 15th of September, so as to join, as was supposed the Oriental Steam Navigation Company's ship with the mid-monthly mail at Alexandria.* He was to proceed from Kurrachee direct to Aden, without taking Bombay in his way the principal portion of his staff were it is said, to accompany him. There are various surmises, but no exact information as to the nature of the arrangements to be looked for on the Indus subject to his departure. It will, it is un- derstood, be made a divisional command; and to prevent the increase of generals of divisions on the Bombay establishment, the southern division is to be conjoined with that of Poonah, so soon as General Morse's term of service expires. A commissioner is spoken of, and Colonel Sutherland, Colonel Melville, and Mr. Pringle are all mentioned as heads of the civil government in charge of the commission. The country continues tranquil, with the exception of some slight encounters with the maurauders on the frontiers. Sickness begins to appear amongst the Queen's troops at Kurrachee. Hyderabad and Suk- kur have been abandoned as European stations alto- gether. The most profound tranquillity reigns throughout the Punjaub, and the Durbar has just pro- claimed the abolition of suttees and infanticide through their dominisns. The army is reduced from 280,000 to 34,000 men; the artillery from 300 to fifty pieces of ordnance. Labor at public works on the Sabbath day has been forbidden. Colonel Law- rence has directed the revision of the tariff of customs, with a view of abolishing petty duties, which scarce paid the charges of collection. An exploratory mis- sion is just about to proceed into Chinese Thibet. Colonel Lawrence, being too sick to remain at Lahore, has proceeded to Simlah for his health here he will have a parting interview with the governor-general, who bids adieu to India in January, 1848. A large force is out in quest of the robber Dhoon-gur Sing, a number of whose confederates have been overtaken by Lieutenant Showers, and captured or shot. He gave much annoyance, but his career seems near its close. News from Bokhara is said to have reached India in various directions, to the effect that the King had put to death with his own hands the infa- mous Abdool Samud, by striking him on the head with a small axe, upbraiding him with inciting him (the King) to take the lives of Stoddart and Connolly. Throughout the rest of India profound tranquillity prevails. Trade continues dull. The monsoon was apparently almost over. The profuse fall of rain in June and July had not reached expectation, and the supply on the whole was short. »

DESTRUCTION OF A VALUABLE LIBRARY.—A Danish letter, dated from Copenhagen the 26th ult., informs us of the destruction, the same morning, of the rich and valuable library of the Royal Society of Icelandic Literature in that capital. The loss is distressing, inasmuch as the library contained more than 2,000 unpublished MSS., and a numerous collection of sin- gle copies of ancient Icelandic works. The destruc- tion of this library recalls to mind that of the Arna- Magnoean Institution, composed of more than 40,000 Icelandic manuscripts, which was burnt during the famous bombardment of Copenhagen by the English in 1807. THE CHOLERA.-The Augsburg Gazette of the 3rd inst., announces the appearance of the cholera at Jassy, and that a quarantine had been established on the frontiers of Austria. The Commerce publishes a letter from southern Russia, which states, that the cholera has made frighful ravages in that country. The entire population has been swept off in some districts-a fact unprecedented, even in the years 1831 and 1832. Six physicians have been sent from Warsaw, for the scene of those calamities, with a mission to study the disease profoundly, and to ascer- tain the difference between the present malady and that which ravaged Europe fifteen years since. FRIGHTFUL ACCIDENT.—A letter from Christiania (Norway) relates, that on the llth ult., between four and five in the afternoon, the immense rock which hung over the vast domain of Helsingegard, and which several days before had split in many places, came suddenly down and covered an immense space, crushing beneath its weight 34 dwelling-houses and their inhabitants, estimated at 230 in number. At- tempts were immediately made for their release, but after laboring for a week, when the letter was written, only two bodies had been reached, one of a woman, and the other of a child, about seven years old, both lifeless. Only 13 of the inhabitants of the place es- caped this tremendous disaster, which has occasioned a loss of property estimated at 300,000f.—GalignanVs Messenger. TAKING THE VEIL. -The ceremony of taking the veil was performed on Wednesday week in the Roman Catholic church attached to the Convent of Mercy, Parker's-row, Bermondsey. The novice is Miss Fox, a niece of Dr. Fox, of New Broad-street, City. As the convent bell was tolling the hour of twelve, several distinguished members of the Catho- lic clergy entered the sanctuary. Upon a given sig- nal the choir struck up 0 Gloriosa Virginum, when the sisters advanced two by two, preceded by a cross- bearer, next the postulants, after them the novice, in her secular dress. After the usual preliminaries, a very impressive sermon was preached by the Rev. Dr. Wiseman, at the close of which Miss Fox, was conducted to the grate, where, kneeling she was in- terrogated in the usual form. She then retired, and on her return wore the habit (without a cincture), the gauze veil, &c. Dr. Williams having made the sign of the cross over Miss Fox, said, May the Lord put on thee the new man," &c. The assistant hav- ing taken the veil from Miss Fox, Dr. Wiseman, holding it over her head placed it over her. Finally, Miss Fox was sprinkled with holy water, and, after another hymn, the procession retired in the same order it entered.-Morning Papei. ENGLISH LITERATURE.—Mr. Hallam, we are happy to hear, has nearly ready for press a supplemental volume of illustrations to his History of Europe during the middle ages. Dr. Bliss is busy with a new edition of Wood's Athenae Oxoniensis, and Lord Braybrooke with an annotated edition of Pcpys's Diary. The last edition of the Atherm contains ample evidence of what we may expect from the known industry and research of the registrar of the university of Oxford; but we trust the editions of Pepys already published are not to be looked upon as samples of Lord Braybrooke's diligence or of his knowledge of ten years of English history over which the Diary extends.—Athetuzum.—Loid Braybrooke will not have been ill employed if he has restored the many suppressed, as well as capriciously altered, passages of Pepys. DUTCH LAW ON DUELLING.-—The new penal code of Holland contains the following enactments against duelling :-The challenger is made liable to a month's imprisonment and a fine equal to 300f.; the accep- tor of a challenge to a month's imprisonment and a fine of from 50f. to 200f.; for provoking persons to fight a duel six months' imprisonment and a fine of from 200f. to I,OOOf. for killing in a duel, four to seven years' or ten or twelve years' exile but this penalty may be considerably diminished if the man who kills be the person offended. The seconds are not made liable to any penalty whatever. A few evenings ago (or early in the morning) as a little girl who had been emploped in hop-picking at Mr. John Smith's, of Wick, was passing along Broad-street, she picked up a small canvass bag, and finding that there was money in it, took it to her mother, who inimediatetly mentioned the fact to the police, when it was found that the bag contained bank notes and other securities to the amount of £ 1,000. The owner was shortly after discovered. We are pleased to add that he presented the little girl with .£100, and also gave the mother £ 5.— rVor- cester Journql, —— CURRENCY MEETING AT BIRMINGHAM.—On Monday evening week, a meeting of the bankers, merchants, manufacturers, and tradesmen of Birmingham was held at Dee's Royal Hotel, Birmingham, to consider the state of the country, and the operation of Sir R. Peel's bills of 1819 and 1844. Not more than 200 persons were present, amongst whom were G. F. Muntz, Esq., M.P., C. N. Newdegate, Esq., M.P., Richard Spooner, Esq., M.P., and many members of the corporation. Alderman Weston occupied the chair, and in opening the business of the meeting expressed the opinion that the present state of mone- tary affairs was caused by the operation of Sir Robert Peel's acts, and that the present system was altogether unsuited to the wants of the community. Mr. Har- low moved the resolutions, which were seconded bv Mr. T. C. Salt, whe condemned in toto the present system, and contended that all the miseries which had taken place in the country for the last forty years were attributable to the present money laws.—Lon- don Paper. MYSTERIOUS AFFAIR.—A German journal states, that an extraordinary sensation has been created at Darmstadt, by the mysterious death of the Countess de Goerlitz, who was found sitting in her room, dead, and dreadfully burned but without it being possi- ble to conceive how this could have occurred by ac- cident. It is suspected that she was strangled, and that she was then placed on a charcoal fire, subse- quently removed, to destroy all traces of the means employed to commit the murder. As the Count, her husband (who is a man of some note, having been ambassador to the couit of Nassau, and filled a mis- sion in Holland), was known to be on bad terms with the Countess, public rumor accused him of the mur- der and, an investigation having been entered upon, some suspicious circumstances were revealed. It ap- pears, however, that, at the date of the last accounts, the affair was still involved in mystery.—GalignanVs Messenger. SUICIDE OF A CORONER.—Considerable excitement prevailed in Folkeston, on Wednesday morning last, upon the intelligence that Mr. J. J. Bond, the coro- ner for the borough, had committed suicide by nearly severing his head from his body with a razor. He had been laboring under temporary fits of insanity for some time. On the previous evening, his strange conduct gave raise to additional uneasiness, and this morning, about seven o'clock, a fall was heard in the room above by his wife, who, on entering his apart- ment, found him woltering in blood. Dr. Bateman was sent for, and, on his arriving, found life was ex- tinct. The deceased, better to effect his purpose, had seated himself on a chair, and placed a looking- glass on the floor. DEPLORABLE OCCURRENCE.—An important inquest was held, on Monday week, at the Swan Inn, Leint- wardine, Hereford, before Mr. Lanwarne, and a highly respectable jury of the leading farmers of the neigh- borhood and tradesmen of the place, upon the body of James Beavan, who came by his death from an un- fortunate blow by the hands of his brother, John Beavan. It appeared, that at a dance at the village wake, on Friday evening week, these brothers, who are respectable tradesmen, and were sober, in mock hostility or jest, struck each other slightly one or two blows, when the one instantly fell down a corpse at the feet of the other. The jury was induced to add to their verdict of Manslaughter a statement of which the following is a copy :—" And the persons who compose this jury, do not consider themselves I justified in separating, without expressing their opinion, that no human forethought or prudence, on the part of Mr. Wollaston, the landlord of the Swan, could have prevented the occurrence, and, from the evidence of the witnesses adduced on the inquest, and the personal knowledge of each of the jurors, they certify, that this house is most orderly, quietly, and respectably conducted. Hereford Journal. SUSPENSION OF RAILWAY CALLS.—On Friday after- noon, a meeting of proprietors in the Liverpool, Man- chester, and Newcastle Junction Railway (the first meeting that has been held for the purpose of suspen- sion), the bill for which was passed in 1846, incor- porating it with a capital of £ 1,800,000, in 70,000 shares of j>20 each, was held at the Clarence Hotel, Manchester, to take into consideration the pro- priety of suspending further payments of calls and operations. There were present Sir R. Pendlebury, Mr. Thomasson, Mr. Rawson, Mr. Peat, Mr. H. Smith, Mr. Macfarlane, Mr. Scott, Mr. Harper, of P York, and others interested in various railways. Mr. Haines, on the motion of Mr. Hawson, took the chair. After some discussion, expressive of the opinions of the speakers, that there could be no revival of com- merce until railway expenditure was curtailed, a com- mittee, consisting of Sir Ralph Pendlebury, Mr. Thomasson, Mr. Rawson, Mr. Smith, and Mr. Mac- farlane, was appointed to confer with the directors, and take such steps as to them might be expedient. A letter in the Morning Chronicle, Mr. W. F. Spackman rebukes the practical men connected with railways for not helping themselves at the pre- sent juncture—" Do shareholders in railway com- panies want to limit, restrict, or suspend the calls ? Nothing is easier. The law gives to the shareholders in all companies formed since 1845 the power to call extraordinary meetings, and to control and regulate the acts of the directors. If, then, the shareholders in any particular company are convinced of their folly -if they are unable to pay the calls, or carry out the works-let them meet and apply the remedy but let them cease to complain of a burden which their own supineness only renders intolerable." ACCIDENT TO THE ARCHBISHOP OF YORK.—A few days since, an accident of a singular character occur- red to the venerable Archbishop of York who is now in his ninety-second year. His grace, accompanied by the Rev. Mr. Dixon, one of the canons of the min- ster, and the Archbishop's chaplain, was walking on the grounds attached to the episcopal palace at Bishopsthorpe, when they had occasion to cross a wooden bridge thrown over some ornamental waters. On reaching the middle of the bridge, they felt some apprehension that it was giving way, but before they had an opportunity of taking any precautionary; measures for securing themselves the bridge fell in,! and the most reverend prelate, with his friend, found themselves up to their necks in water, In a few moments the archbishop reached the shore and, while his reverend friend was battling with the water, jocularly exclaimed, Well, Dixon, I think we've frightened the frogs." On returning to the palace, the archbishop changed his attire, and presi- ded over a large dinner party in the evening, but Mr. Dixon, alarmed either at the suddenness of his im- mersion, or fearing its consequences, retired to bed.- Chronicle. A Court of Aldermen was held on Thursday, when Alderman Hooper's acceptance of the mayoralty was notified. The report of a committee, on the collec- tion of broker's rents, recommended the appointment of a new collector, as defalcations to the amount of £ 2,000 had been discovered in the office. After a division the report was affirmed. Another report mentioned, that a very large collection of Hebrew books had been presented to the City of London Library, by Mr. Philip Solomons; to whom the thanks of the court were voted. CAMELS IN AUSTRALASIA.—A correspondent of the (Sydney) Australian Journal recommends strongly the extensive introduction of the camel from India, which, having been successfully imported into the Mauritius, might doubtless be brought safe to Port Essington (or to Swan River), and thence be generally introduced. The best camel (he says) as a beast of burden is that of the Macwarre breed, purchasable in India at 60 to 100 rupees, £6 to £ 10, and, being a browsing rather than a grazing animal, is easily sus- tained by leaves or young branches gathered by itself en route, or brought to it by a careful driver, who can easily manage three of these animals. They travel in a single file, the nose of one being attached by a rope through the cartilage to the crupper of the other, carrying 400lbs. if very moderately laden, up to 700lbs. or 8001bs. upon emergency, and averaging 35 miles an hour. So that, for the purpose of an expe- dition or a long journey to Australia, a band of six camels would carry l,600lbs. of provision and kit, and 8001bs. of water in mussocks or skin bottles. Like the horse, the camel breeds annually, produces ono at a birth, and seems just adapted to perform good ser- vices in journeying through the most sandy and scrubby wastes of Australia.—South Australian Register. A NEW COMET.—W. R. Dawes, in a letter to the Times, Oct. 7, snvs r.t Sh. 20m., p.m., meati time, he perceived a misty looking object, in the constella- tion Draco, not far from the star Omega Draconis. Soon after, on turning upon it my foot equa- torial refractor, it appeared to be a large and bright nebulous body, which, from its motion, I soon de- tected to be a comet. To the naked eve it appears as a hazy star of the fifth magnitude. In the tele- scope it is nearly round, without tail, much con- densed in the middle, hue having 110 distinct stellar jiuclsus." THE OUTCRY FOR SANATORY REFORM.—In a vast metropolitan concentration of human life like ours, in which occurs a whole sixth-part of all the waste of health and life in the three United Kingdoms, and in which, from amongst 2,000,000 people, nearly 50,000 die every year;-900 every week,-one every tenth minute,-the mere destruction of 10,000 of these every year, 200 every week, one every hour, by means of municipal poison alone, insidiously adminis- tered along with the air which the doomed ones breathe, may, by comparison, seem to be a matter of minor import; yet, if we estimate the value of a single life at the amount of the popular outcry crea- ted by the scarcely more deliberate, though more designed destruction, of that one life by domestic poison, what a mighty and eternal outcry ought to rend the welkin and the walls of every city, town, and village in the empire, till an end be for ever put to this now too well recognised and wholesale system of manslaughter Now the outcry does, indeed, begin in earnest to be not merely audible, but in crescendo towards a simultaneous and thundering appeal to our bran-new, and, let us hope, in a sana- tive sense at least, clean-sweeping legislators, and that, too, in the articulate and intelligible form of what we trust will prove in effect, an irresistible de- mand for the one grand reform of the day-the all comprehensive sanative reform, in all its cognate ramifications.- Builder. The celebrated Quicksilver," the crack mail- coach of the West, unrivalled for fifty years for punctuality and speed, has ceased to run from this city, and is now to be numbered among the things that were. It performed its last journey from Exeter on Monday last; having been superseded by omnipo- tent steam, the Plymouth mail being taken now by train. It had a long and glorious career from Lon- don to Devonport, until, within the last few years, the gradual extension of the rail successively short- ened its stages. For some brief space longer it will continue to run between Totnes and Devonport, and then be annihilated for ever.-E.reter paper. MUSICAL GOSSIP.-M. Jullien, during his late tour, offered the celebrated vocalist Viardot Garcia the enormous terms of 100 guineas per night, to appear 40 nights at Dury-lane Theatre, the money to be deposited at Rothschild's bank. This offer, liberal as it was, was declined by Madame Viardot. Nego- ciations, however, are still pending. Two hundred workmen are employed daily in the alterations and decorations of the theatre. The hangings are to be scarlet and gold, and the ornamental portions on the lightest possible scale. The theatre is fashioned after the French Opera-house. The renewal of A loom's engagement has been certified, for the Royal Italian Opera next season, at extravagant terms- five times the amount of what she received for the season just expired. Alboni may not only say that she sang one night and found herself famous, but that she sang one season in London, and found herself a millionaire.—Musical World. A sort of ghostly meeting has been held at Cam- bridge, to attempt to resuscitate coach-travelling. The reporter says that the number was not great, and the most noticeable persons were the old whips, it What is the upshot of the alleged grievance 1 It is that the railway now charges about the same fares for luxurious inside travelling that used to be charged for outside travelling by the coach, and performs the journey in half the time. If the Cambridge towns- men dislike it, by all means let them improve it if they can. A Roman sword-blade, in a beautiful state of pre- servation, has been dug up at the gas station. It is of brass, the metal beautifully tempered to almost the fineness of steel, and bears evidence of having been richly plated with gold. It is about 16 inches in length, and, save one indentation of the edge, caused by the implement of the Workman who turn- ed it up, is as perfect, from hilt to point, as when it first left the hands of the artificer. It is in the pos- session of Mr. John Harris, of South-street, who, we believe, intends to transmit it to the Archaeological Society.—Bath Chroniclei We shall shortly turn that dread agent-electricity -into" a servant of all work." We already use it in the electric telegraph to send messages—in the electrotype process to silver our plate-in medical galvanism to cure our dieases, &c. and now we find that Mr. Crosse, of Broomfield, in this county, has turned the tables an the thunder for making beer sour, by calling in the acid of lightning to make it fine. The above gentleman has recently enrolled a patent for improvements in treating fermentable and other liquids, so as to cause impurities or matters to be extracted or precipitated. The means proposed are electric currents (generated from zinc and iron in water, in porous cylinders) passing through wine, cider, beer, &c., through the first two during, but through beer after, fermentation.-Baeh Chronicle. It appears by a parliamentary return, that out of 23,119,412 passengers who were conveyed by railroads during the half-year ending June 30th, 1847, one hundred and one persons bad been killed, and one hundred had been more or less injured by accidents but of the former only 14 lost their lives from causes beyond their own control, and of the latter only forty-eight sustained injuries from similar causes. The other deaths and accidents were occasioned by various acts of carelessness or temerity on the part of the individuals. An unusually painful sensation was created throughout the whole of Tuesday at Clifton, in con- sequence of a young lady, named Welsh, having fallen over St. Vincent's rocks, at the highest point, and been dashed to pieces. Miss Welsh was, it ap- pears, on a visit to Mrs. Bird, who resides at Cotham- hill-villa, West Park, and was in the habit of resort- ing to the Downs for air and exercise. On Tuesday morning she strolled to Clifton-down, and was ob- served, by several persons who were walking in the same direction, sitting on a dangerous projection of the rocks at a short distance from the cavern known as Ghystone, or the Giant's Cave. An officer,, named Black, was so struck with the danger of her position that he approached her and remonstrated with her on the subject. She thanked him, but seemed not to participate in his apprehensions, and contented her- self by sitting back a little without moving from the spot. After this she was seen standing at a greater distance from the edge of the precipice, to which, however, she must have speedily returned. Of course the mode in which the accident occurred must re- main a matter of conjecture, but it is probable the grass being short and in dry weather very slippery, that in walking she missed her footing and slipped over from an altitude of nearly 300 feet. Some men who were at work at the bottom of the rocks saw her in the act of falling, and a youth who was playing in the Zigzag, a serpentine walk leading from the Hot- wells to the Down. states that as she fell she stretched out her hand and tried to grasp some ivy bushes which gfew from the cliff; The effort was, however, a futile one, in another moment she struck against the rock and in a few more she lay at the bottom of the precipice a shapeless and inanimate mass. Her remains presented a truly fearful spectacle, her skull being driven in from the front to the base, and there was scarcely a bone in her body that was not frac- tured. An inquest was held on the body, and an in, quiry instituted as to whether there was any reason for believing that she had purposely destroyed herself, The evidence, however, negatived such a supposition, and a verdict of Accidental death was returned. In a little memorandum book found in the pocket of the deceased were entries of several names among others that of W. T. Welsh, Esq., London-road, Lynn, Norfolk." The book also afforded evidence that the deceased had been visiting various places^ and, it would seem, was of religious turn of mind, as the book contained texts of and extracts fron various sermons she had probably heard preached. FATAL PLAY.—A fatal accident happened a. few days since, at Sandhurst, near Gosport, which showa on what a slender thread human life is held. A J married woman named Comfort Cull, while slight.'v intoxicated on Sunday se'night, commenced "larking; I with some neighbors, at whose house she had taken tea, and in the midst of it seeing a wooden-leg$» man named Ruck coming towards the house, she to him and caught hold of his leg, intendin throw him down. Ruck, however, put his h on her head as she stooped and pushed her off, w she fell on her side, at full length on the ground. getting up she complained of pain in her right thumb, the skin of which was torn, and it was immediately dressed. The wound, ihough repeatedly d;essed day to day, did not heal, and the unfortunate woin-Ui became ill, and 011 Sunday last, was seized with liicfc- jaw. A surgeon was then sent for, but on his arrival she was in ^rong convulsions, and rapidly sinking, and she expired in course oi the d.-iv, lock-4^ having been produced by a. dislocation of nne of joints of the thumb. An inquest has been held 0" the body by J. Lovegrove, Esq., wbon the^e fcu. having been aiven in evidence, tlje y. ry returned verdict of-Vcciden^al Death,"
