We regard the work before us, The SILENT FRIEND, as a work embracing most clear and practical views of a series of complaints hitherto little understood, and passed over by the majority of the Medical profession, for what reason we are at a loss to know. We must however confess that a perusal of this work has left such a favourable impression on our minds, that we not only recommend, but cordially wish Qverv one who is the victim of past folly, or suffering from iixdi  eretion ?discretion, to profit by the advice contained in its pages."— Age and Argus. "The Authors of THE Sn,ENT FIm:\D seem to be thoroughly conversant with the treatment of a class of complaints which are, we fear, too prevalent in the present day. The per- spicuous style in which this book is written, and the va- luable hints it conveys to those who are apprehensive of entering the marriage state, cannot fail to recommend it to a careful perusal."—ERA.

I cannot exactly give you a professional name to the various complaints, but this I know, Some of them baffled the skill of Deny and this county. In a previous letter this gentleman states as follows "ïthin a short distance of my house resides a small farmer, who for more than twenty years had been in a bad state of health Mrs. Prior gave him a box of the Pills, which did him so much good that I heard him say, for twenty years past, he never ate his food or enjoyed it so much as since taking your Pills. (Signed) GEORGE PRIOR. The above reverend and pious gentleman purchased Some pounds worth of the Pills for the benefit of his poor parishioners. Cure of a Confirmed Asthma, accompanied with great Debility.-Extract of a letter from John Thompson, Esq., proprietor of the Armagh Guardian, Armagh 17th April, 1816. TO PROFESSOR UOLLOWAY. SIR,-There is at present living in this city a Serjeant, who had been for many years in the army at Cabul, in the East Indies, from whence he returned in September last. On his Way here, from the change of weather of a tropical to a moist climate, he caught a very violent cold, which produced a confirmed case of Asthma. In December last he commenced taking your Pills, and by the use of two I Is. boxes, with two 4s. 6d. pots of your Ointment well rubbed into his breast, he is, I am happy to say, not only quite cured of the asthma, but is also become so strong and vigorous, that lie informed me yesterday he could now run round the Mall with any person in the city, and that he never got any medicine equal to your Pills and Ointment. (Signed) J. THOMPSON. The Earl of Aldborough Cured of a Liver and Stomach Complaint. Extract of a letter from his Lordship, dated Villa Messina, Leghorn, 21st February, 18.15. TO PROFESSOR HOLLOWAY. Sm-Various circumstances prevented the possibility 0 my thanking you before this time for your politeness in sending me your Pills as you did, I now take this oppor- tunity of sending YOll an order for the amount, and, at the same time, to add that your Pills have effected a cure of a disorder in my Liver and Stomach, which all the most eminent of the faculty'at home, and all over the Continent, had not been able to effect nay, not evm the waters of Carlsbad and Marienbad. I wish to have another box and a pot of the ointment, in case any of' my family should ever require either.-Your most obliged and obedient servant ourmo (Signed) ALDBOROUGH.

In several Gout and Rheumatic Cases it has proved highly bene- ficial. In every one of the above distressing complaints, this invaluable Ointment has effected the most triumphant cures after all other means had failed. In addition to the testimonials of surgeons, and certificates by far too numerous for publication, the following certificate from that eminent and distinguished practitioner, Charles Aston Key, Esq., Senior Surgeon of Guy's Hospital, London, cannot fail to establish the confidence of all persons in this excellent remedy, and the Proprietor strongly recommends all Families, Schools, and Grocers never to be without it. "WONDERFUL TESTIMONIAL. From the numerous certificates which I have seen of the efficacy of Wright's Pearl Ointment, I have been induced to try it in severe cases of Porrigo, Herpetic Eruptions, the Ulcus Exendcns, and some other forms of obstinate cutaneous disease, and I am able to bear testimony to its great utility.

IN.E —Be careful to ask for « Dr. Wright's Celebrated Pearl Ointment, as there is a spurious article offered at Is. 1 .id.

As much mischief is frequently produced by the indiscriminate use of strong purgative Medicine, the Proprietor strongly recommends DR. WRIGHT'S CATHARTIC PILLS, prepared from the Doctor's pri- vate Recipe, which will be found so gentle in their ope- ration, that Females, under every circumstance, and even children may take them with the greatest possible ad- vantage and safety.

HOWARD and THOMAS continue to supply the Lose, of Teeth without springs or wires upon their new system of SELF-ADHESION, which has procured thorn such uni- versal approbation, and is recommended by numerous Physicians and Surgeons as being the most ingenious system .of supplying artificial teeth hitherto invented. They adapt themselves over the most tender gums, or remaining stumps without causing the least pain, reuderiolg the operation of extracting quite unnecessary. They are so llxed as to fasten any loose teeth where the gums have shrunk from the use of calomel or other causes. They also beg to invite those not liking to undergo any painful operation, as practised by most members of the profession, to inspect their painless yet effective systeiii; and in order that their improvements may be within the reach of the most economical, they will con- tnue the same moderate charges. Messrs. HOWARD and THOMAS, Surgeon Den- tists, 61, Berners-street, Oxford-street, London. At home from ten till four. Those interested in the subject will find this statement of their superiority over all others, to be entirely and scru- pulously correct. Their new method of fixing Artificial Teeth has obtained the approbation and recommendation of the following eminent I'hN,sicians and Sui-geons:-Sir James Clark, Bart, Physician to her Majesty; Dr. Locock, I hysician Accoucheur to her Majesty Dr. Ferguson, Physician Accoucheur to her Majesty; Dr. Bright, Physician Extraordinary to her Ma- jesty Sir B.

H. the Duchess ot Kent; Sir C. M. Clark, Bart., M.D.; Dr. Paris; Sir M. lieruey, Bart., M. D. Dr. James Johnson; Dr. Chambers; Dr. Conquest, and numerous other Members of the Medical Profession. CAUTION.—Unprincipled individuals prepare the most spurious compounds under the same names they copy the labels, bills, advertisements and testimonials of" the original Thomas's Succedaneum. It is therefore highly necessary to see that the words "Howard & 1 nomas are on the wrap- per of each article. All others are fraudulent imitations. ROWLAND'S ODONTO, OR, PEARL DENTIFRICE. Patronised by Her Majesty The Queen," and the Royal Family of Great Britain, as well as the several Sovereigns and Courts of Europe. TT1HE importance of possessing A FINE SET OF TTEETII is universally acknowledged by all who attach the due value to Personal Advantages and the blessings of health. A regular, funi and pearly row of teeth ever insures favourable impressions, while the in- dispensable agencies which they fulfil in respect to the functions of health demand our utmost care and atten- tion in their preservation. regar d e d Disorders of the Teeth, however slightly regarded, are inevitably attended with evils which adept the whole system. Whatever renders mastication painful or im- perfect, not only lessens our relish and enjoyment of food, but also prevents that perfect comminution and mixture of it with the saliva which is indispensable to perfect digestion, and hence arise an endless train of diseases of the stomach, while at the same time the body is deprived of its wonted nourishment, and the whole sy" stem languishes in a state of discomfort and disease. Perhaps among all the disagrceafne consequences that follow fast the decay of the teeth—an impure breath must be the most mortifying to its possessor, as it is the most generally offensive in society. The Decay of the Teeth arises from various causes but principally, it may be attributed to early neglect, ill health, or the use of Tooth Powders containing mineral and other deleterious acids, which give a momentary whiteness to the teeth, while they corrode the enamel! The extreme prevalence of this last cause is too well known to need comment. To this fact, indeed, is prin- cipally to be attributed the long Botanical Research, which has happily terminated by the most felicitous dis- covery ever given to the world for the Preservation of the Teeth, Gums, and Breath, viz.— ROWLAND'S ODONTO, or PEARL DENTIFRICE. A White Powder for the Teeth, compounded of the Choicest and most Recherche Ingredients of the Oriental Herbal the leading requisites of cleanliness and efficacy being present in the highest possible degree. It extir- pates all tartarous adhesions to the Teeth, and ensures a Pearl-like Whiteness to the enamelled surface. Its Anti-Septic and Anti-Scorbutic Properties exerci. se a highly beneficial and salutary influence; they arrest the further progress of decay of the Teeth, induce a healthy action of the Gums, and cause them to assume the brightness and colour indicative of perfect soundness, while, by confirming their adhesion to the Teeth, they give unlimited enjoyment and fresh zest to appetite, by perpetuating effective and complete mastication the Breath also, from the salubrious and disinfecting quali- ties of the Odonto attains a sweetness and fragrance truly grateful to its possessor. It speedily removes those ravages which children sus- tain in their Teeth, owing to improper use of sweet and acid articles, which imperceptibly destroy them. As the most efficient and fragrant aromatic purifier of the Breath, Teeth, & Gums ever known, ROWLAND'S ODONTO has now for a long series of years occupied a distinguished place at the Toilets of* the Sovereigns and the Nobility throughout Europe, while the general demand for it at once announces the favour in which it is universally held.

AMERICA. SETTLEMENT OF THE OREGON QUESTION. LivEitrooL, Sunday. The nibernia Royal Mail steamer has just arrived, with the usual mails from Canada and the United States. The Oregon Treaty, according to the statements of the public journals, has been agreed to by the Senate. The Journal of Commerce says :—■ The settlement of the Oregon question, on Mr. Pakcn- ham's proposed basis, has been advised by the Senate, and the President will, no doubt, forthwith enter into a treaty with Great Britain on the terms offered. The vote was 38 ayes to 12 noes. Mr. Corwin absent from sickness. Mr. Barrow and Mr. Crittenham absent in Virginia. A fourth Whig vote could have been ob- tained if it had been necessary. Mr. Atchison did not vote, and Mr. Bright was absènt. We subjoin extracts from the correspondence of the New York papers WASHINGTON, June 12. The terms before the Senate, though not in form, are substantially the ultimatum of the British Ministry. They were not put in shape, because Sir Robert Peel did not desire to embarrass his successor with anv committal to his policy, or to leave the responsibility of a war upon the shoulders of IS friend, if one should grow out of it. Information is In possession of the Senate, showing that Sir Robert Peel will probably resign within 30 days. A portion of the Tories have signified to Lord John Russell and his friends, that they will form a coalition to expel the Ministry whenever they are n'ld' Sir Robrt is opposed to this condition of things, and wil? "é apt to take the Home Labour Bill as the chance to declare him- self fully, and to relinquish the Premiership. Great Britain asks for the navigation of the Columbia River during the charter of the Hudson's-bay Company, which expires in 1863. Some Senators fear this stipula- tion would cover a renewal of the charter. The legal opinion is that it would not. Those who raise the objection desire to insert a clause to that effect. This would involve the necessity of re- turning the proposition to England for Mr. Pakenham's hands are tied as to any alteration. This difficulty will, I hope, be obviated. The proposition of England, submits that hcr privilege of navigating the Columbia never shall be subject to the United States laws of navigation and revenue, now in existence, but no farther restriction shall be imposed without the reference to this right. The article stipula- ting for remuneration for British settlements below the line of 49 degrees provides for compensation for any American possessions north of it. The Fifty-four forties declare open war upon the Ad- ministration. The latest Ncie York Herald contains the following — PLIILADKLNTLA, JL'NE 15. The Oregon treaty is already proposed and signed, and will be submitted to the Senate by morning. It consists of five short sections, and it is expected will be ratified before adjournment. The Courier and Enquirer of the II th says It will be seen by the telegraphic report of the pro- ceedings in the United States Senate yesterday, that the President has laid before that body the basis of a treaty for the settlement of the long protracted controversy with England concerning Oregon. This is most gratifying intelligence. Of the nature of the basis which has been so far adopted by the President we have, of course, no information as the subject was discussed in executive session. The very fact, however, which is thus rendered certain, that negotiations have been resumed, and that an actual basis of some kind has been agreed upon, will be regarded as of the highest importance throughout the country. We cannot doubt that this protracted and portentous dispute will now be speedily and satisfactorily settled. The correspondence of the same journal is as follows:— WASIIINGTON, WEDNESDAY NIGHT JCNE 10. The proceedings of the Senate to-day were interesting and important. The evcnt of most importance was the submission by the President of the basis of a treaty for the settlement of the Oregon question. A message was received from the President, and the Senate passed into executive session, and discussed to a late hour the basis of a treaty for the settlement of the Oregon question, this day submitted. 0 It is understood that the parallel of 49-, the navigation of the Columbia free, for a term of years to England, and Vancouver's Island to the British, are the chief outlines of the treaty in posse, of which' the basis has been submitted to the Senate. Mr. Buchanan testified some diplomatic coyness, it is said, at coming down from the great height where he has heretofore maintained his position, supported by irrefragable facts and argu- ments but all this was provided for. It is, of course, impossible to predict what precise shape the treaty will assume in its details but that we shall have a treaty, and that the Oregon question will be settled, and that the fifty-four-forties will get up no war with Great 11 fixed facts. Britain, may be looked upon as fixed facts." JUNE 11, It is understood that the Senate have been occupied again to-day with the protocol of Mr. Pakenham, touch- ing a treaty upon Oregon. The country may be con- gratulated in advance upon the point, for not the remotest doubt can now be entertained of the final settlement of this vexed question in the present session. The American papers publish the official despatches relative to the battles of Palo Alto and Resaca de la Palma. The select committee appointed, upon the motion of Mr. Ingersoll, to investigate the conduct of Mr. Webster, had made its report, and entirely exculpated him. Several failures had taken place in Baltimore on the 13th inst., in consequence of the tightness of the money-market. The Great Western arrived out at New York on the evening of the 15th. The Canadian Parliament was prorogued on the 9th inst., to the 18th proximo. The Baltimore Patriot states, that the Government has authorized the recriiitilim officers upon naval stations to offer a bounty of 20 dollars and three months' advance wages to I all able-bodied seamen who enter the service and to landsmen, or new recruits, 15 dollars bounty, and an advance of three months' wages.

We understand that Mr. Dean has resigned the Chairmanship of the Board of Customs, and that he is to be succeeded by Sir Thomas Fremantle, the present Deputy Chairman. We learn further that the Right Hon. George R- Dawson, who was for some time been a member of the Board of Customs, is to be appointed Deputy Chairman in the place of Sir Thomas Fremantle. obsei,z!ei,. ATTEMPTED ASSASSINATION IN ST. GILES'S.—On Thursday afternoon, between two and three o'clock, great excitement prevailed in the neighbourhood of St. Giles's, London, in consequence of a young man having been stabbed in Church-lane, by a "girl of the town, well known by the name of "Bustle Bet," living in that street. It appears that Martin Welch, the father of the unfortunate victim, was in the habit of collecting rents, &c, for Mr. Mason, the owner of the house at which the occurrence took place. He had also been cohabiting with the woman Bet, and at the time already alluded to he repaired to the premises under the pretence of getting some money due for rent but for the real purpose of visiting the prisoner. His wire having heard of the w e having heard of the circumstance, at once proceeded to the room, which is on the second floor front, and beinrr refused admittance, she burst open the door, when she saw the prisoner and her husband in bed. lie immediately got up and ran down stairs, when words ensued between her and the prisoner, who threatened to kill her. At this moment, John Welch, a lad about 18, stepped forward to protect his mother, and the prisoner caught hold of a large table-knife, and inflicted a dreadful wound in his breast. She then attempted to stab him in the abdomen, but having missed her aim she struck him on the left leg just above the shin-bone, and thus caused a wound of about an inch and a half in length, and an inch deep. The screams of murder had by this time attracted the attention of police-constable 123, who having secured the prisoner, the boy was conveyed to the University College Hospital, where he remains in a very precarious condition. The prisoner, who is a young woman about 23 years, was taken to the Gcorgo-steet police station. THE SCHOOLMASTER IS ABUOAD."—At the anniver- sary dinner of the Marylebone Literary and Scientific Institution," last week, Lord Brougham, who was in the chair, gave the following little history of the origin of a phrase which has passed into a proverb among us, and is worth rescuing from the perishable place in which it appears In the month of February, 1S2S, his illustrious and noble and gallant friend the Duke of Wellington, from being Commander in Chief of the Army, came to be Prime Minister. The Noble Duke, just prior to that, li-id asked how it was possible he could fill the office of Prime Minister, when he had not, either from habits or education, the faculty of addressing their Lordships ? He (Lord Brougham.) remarked to the friend nearest him upon that occasion, that he had never heard the Noble Duke say anything that had less foundation in fact, for that no one was better able to address their lordships with effect than the Duke of Wellington. The result had proved that he was right; there was no better speaker than the gallant Duke, because he understood very distinctly himself what lie meant to sa; and always made his hearers understand very distinctly what he meant to say also. (Cheers.) Upon the occasion of the noble Duke taking ofifce, Mr. Cobbett said, Tile soldier is abroad, and he will beat you.' It was with reference to that statement of Mr. Cobbett, that lie (Lord Brougham) took occasion to say that the schoolmaster was abroad (cheers), and that with the little primer in his hand he would defy the soldier and his sword. That was supposed to have been said by him with regard to the Duke of Wellington, which was quite a mistake it was said in reference to the expression of Mr. Cobbett." A cockney came down to the lakes, and arriving at evening, he asked his host what time of the day they showed the lakes. In Spring-street, New York, is the following curious sign :—"Washing and Ironing and Going out to Days work, Done in the buck Room.
I MELANCHOLY SUICIDE OF R.…
I MELANCHOLY SUICIDE OF R. B. HAYDON, ESQ. Mr. R. B. Haydon, the well-known historical painter, committed suicide last week at his own residence, at Brixton. Mr. Haydon's misfortunes and disappoint- ments in his profession have not been altogether hidden from the public. His occasional appeals against the acts of injustice of which (truly or not) he undoubtedly believed himself the victim, have given to his name a melancholy celebrity, which his' last fatal act (arising from his latest disappointment) cannot fail to increase in a very remarkable degree. Mr. Haydon's pecuniary circumstances have been for some time past in a very embarrassed condition. A short time since, a valued friend, to whom Mr Ilaydon had made known the state of his affairs, offered to advance the sum necessary to relieve him from some pressing liabilities. On this cir- cumstance (inasmuch as his inability to meet the liabilities alluded to had thrown him into a desponding state) Mr. Haydon built strong hopes, which were, alas, destined only to meet a more cruel disappointment, on his friend discovering that the property from which he had intended to advance Mr. Haydon the means of liqui- dating his responsibilities was so locked up," that he could not release it for the desired purpose. There can be no doubt that the melancholy termination of deceased's life must be attributed to a series of dis- appointments, and, so to speak, persecutions of which he has, perhaps unfairly, imagined himself the object for many years past, and not to any one isolated circum- stance. The deceased, immediately before committing the rash act, wrote letters to Mrs. Haydon, Sir Robert Peel, Mr. Serjeant Talfourd, and other gentlemen. These letters were delivered as directed by Mr. Coulton, one of Mr. Haydon's executors, and within a short time Sir Robert Peel sent a reply to ilfr. Coulton. The Right Hon. Baronet, after expressing how painfully he was shocked at the intelligence Mr. Haydon's letter had communicated, went on to state that as he feared the family might be in need of some immediate assistance, he had thought it right to enclose a cheque for E200 from the Royal Bounty Fund, as a temporary relief. The Right Hon. Baronet further stated, that he supposed a permanent provision for the family would be immediately suggested and if so, he begged to add, that so far as his own private purse and personal influence were concerned, both might be commanded. An examination of the body proved that the deceased must have first fired a pistol into his head, a perforated bullet wound being visible in the parietal bone. This appears not to have had a fatal effect, and there were traces of blood about the room where deceased appears to have subsequently walked to obtain possession of a razor, with which he afterwards inflicted two severe gashes in his throat, and thus caused death. The inquest on the body was held by Mr. Wakley, M.P. A medical gentleman having been examined touching the nature of the injuries, the Rev. Mr. Hyman, a relative of the deceased, gave in evidence a journal, or diary, kept by the deceased, with the A iew of showing that he was in an unsound state of mind at the period of this melancholy occurrence. Long extracts were read from the diary. We only copy the following :— June 16.—Sat from 2 to 5 o'clock staring at my pic- ture like an idiot; my brain pressed down by anxiety and the anxious looks of my family, whom I have been com- pelled to inform of my condition. We have raised money on all our silver to keep us from want in case of accident. I have written to Sir Robert Peel, to and stating that I have a heavy sum to pay. I have offered the The Duke's Study'to—. Who answered first ? Tormented by Disraeli; harassed by public business up came the • i A A luuowmg letter — Whitehall, June 16. Sir,—I am sorry to hear of your continued embarrass- ments. From a limited fund which I have at my dis- posal, I send, as a contribution for your relief from these embarrassments, the sum of £ -50. I remain, Sir, your obedient servant, 'ROBERT PEEL. Be so good as to sign and return the accompanying receipt.' That's Peel. Will —, —, or answer ? June 17-—My dearest wife wishes me to stop the whole thing and close payment, but I will not.

Stretch me no longer on this rough world.'—Lear. The end of the 26tli volume." The Coroner said, he could not suppose that the jury would now require any further witnesses. For himself, he felt the case to be too distressing for remark. They must all agree that the deceased had committed an act of self-destruction, and the only question for the jury was the state of mind in which the unfortunate man was at the time. In leaving the case in the hands of the jury, he could not fail, however, to remark oil the munificent act of Sir Robert Peel towards the unfortunate deceased. He thought it must speak to the hearts of a great many thousand persons, that whilst others were, so to speak, attempting to destroy his own mind and amidst a pressure of public business almost unparalleled, Sir Robert Peel had not forgotten the sufferings of others. The Jury returned a verdict—" That the deceased had committed this act, being in an unsound state of mind at the time." The Times has the following powerful remarks on this melancholy affair:— Our columns of yesterday detailed the particulars of one of those terrible catastrophes which occasionally burst upon the nation, and startle the most giddy and unheeding by a transient but fearful glimpse of the miseries that are doing their deadly work below the smooth surface of our social state. A gentleman of high talent, untiring industry, exemplary temperance, and fervent piety has fallen by his own hand, having been unable to preserve his reason amidst the compli- cated mbarrassments of mental trouble and intellectual toil, or under the prospect of overwhelming difficulties and imminent distress. It is impossible to peruse without feelings of inexpressible pain the notes which this unfortunate gentleman has left of his daily hopes and emotions, his successive struggles and disappoint- ments, through the last months of a cheerless pro- fessional existence. With exertions and etTorts of the most exhausting kind—exertions of the intellect under circumstances of harassing and distracting trouble—he had completed a laborious task, to which he looked with the natural confidence of his profession and position as promising a release from his perplexities, and a recom- pense for his pains. He offered to the public the first of a series of paintings on a noble and national subject, conceived, at least, with grandeur, and directed towards the highest objects of his art. When the days of trial came he saw his hopes dashed and his efforts spurned while the patronage which would have ransomed his pencil and restored his peace was lavished on a rival exhibition of the most puerile and offensive character. The display of a disgusting dwarf attracted hordes of gaping idiots, who poured into the yawning pockets of a Yankee showman a stream of wealth one tithe of which would have redeemed an honourable English artist from wretchedness and death. It is terrible to think that in the London season" of this century, in the heart of the greatest city, and under the eyes of the wealthiest people in the world, such should have been the lot of a gentleman who, if he wanted those pliant qualities which sometimes supersede both talent and merit in worldly success, had almost merit and talent enough to compensate the deficiency, and failed in no other of the requisites for competcnce and fame. These are the events which impel even sober-minded men towards the conviction that this condition of society should no longer exist, whatever be the cost of the change. One circumstance connected with this melancholy transaction was disclosed at the inquest which must leave a deep impression on all who heard it. The un- happy man, as his troubles closed around him, attempted a few despairing applications to the rich and powerful of his friends One of these appeals met with an instant reply, and secured kind commiseration and unhesitating aid. The person who thus answered a call of distress without the delay of an hour was the Prime Minister of this kingdom. From the midst of criminations and controversies, under a pressure of unexampled burdens, in the hour of peril, and in the day of defeat, Sir Robert Peel found time for an act of charity. And if this should be among the last acts of his official life, it will be more to his comfort in his chamber, that lie cheered the last moments of a dying artist with the means of leaving a little legacy to his desolate family, than if he had carried all his measures over the heads of an exas- perated House, and crushed his combined foes with the sweep of a conqueror into a helpless and humiliated mass. lb

SECESSIONS FROM THE ESTABLISHED CHURCH.— The Rev. E. I-Toriie, vicar of St. Lawrence, Southampton, has resigned his preferment and entered the Roman Catholic Church. Lady Georgiana Fullerton, the authoress of Ellen Middleton," with Mr. Fullerton, is understood to have conformed to the same communion. The names of more than one hundred converts from the upper ranks of society have now been announced since the autumn of last year. About fifty are connected with Oxford University with Cambridge not more than fifteen or twenty. Nearly half the number are clergymen of the Establishment.—Post. A lid seeing a drunken man prostrate before the door of a groggery, opened the door, and putting in his head, said to the proprietor, "See here, master, your sign has fallen down."
I MISCELLANEOUS INTELLIGENCE.…
I MISCELLANEOUS INTELLIGENCE. I On Tuesday morning a handsome horse, estimated at the value of 2000 guineas, arrived at Brighton by the General Steam Navigation Company's packet, the Magnet, as a present to her Majesty from Mehemet Ali, and was immediately forwarded to London by railway. Prince Albert has been invited by the mayor and corporation of Manchester to include that town in his approaching visit to Liverpool. The Prince has replied through Colonel Anson, regretting that he could not make it consistent with the arrangements he had formed to visit Manchester on the occasion. But he was pleased to add that he thought Manchester was so important a place as to be worthy, in itself, of a sepa- rate and special visit. Louis Phillippe has an immense private fortune the nation allows him £500,000 per annum, besides E40,000 for the little Comte de Paris, and a large allowance for the Duchess d'Orleans. He has thirteen or fourteen magnificent palaces at his disposal, besides Neuillv and the Chateau d'Eu, which are his own private property. He is also entitled to all the fire-wood and timber cut in the royal forests, which are of immense extent. Since I his accession to the throne, he has derived, it is stated, upwards of JE5,000,000 sterling from this source alone. The tiara or triple crown now used in the coronation of the Popes is that which Napoleon presented to Pius VII. There is another given by the las'. Pope Gregory XVI. The tiaras and valuable mitres are kept in the Fort of St. Angelo, whence they are brought on the occasions of coronations. The tiara presented by Napoleon is formed of white velvet, on which the three crowns are wrought in sapphires, emeralds, and rubies. On the top is a very large emerald, surmounted by a diamond cross. It is estimated at 80,000 Roman crowns, or 428,000f. The coronation of Oscar I., and his consort Eugenia, daughter of Prince Eugene de Beauharnais, as King and Queen of Norway, is fixed to be held on the 15th October next, on which occasion the Storthing will be convoked. We hear from good authority that Lord Ilardinge may be shortly expected back from India. Like a wise man he wishes to return whilst his laurels retain all their freshness, and has written home to express his desire to come back.—Morning paper. Tire Gazette' contains the nomination of the Earl of Westmoreland, the British Minister at Berlin, to the dignity of the Grand Cross of the Bath. James Macaulay Higginson, Esq., has been appointed Go- vernor of Antigua, and the islands adjacent, and Major-General Sir John Ilarvey, K.C.B., Lieutenant- Governor of Nova Scot la, in the room of Viscount Falkland, who is expected home very shortly. It is the intention of the friends of agricultural pro- tection to invite Lord George Bentinck to a public dinner at Lynn, as a mark of their esteem for his public integrity, and their admiration of the great talent he has displayed in his place in the House of Commons. On Wednesday a melancholy and fatal accident oc. curred to the Marquise d'Harcourt, at St. Leonard's Hill, near Windsor. It appears she had been much indisposed lately, and observing a number of medicine bottles on her toilette on Monday, among which was a phial of laudanum, she remarked to the people about her that they had better be removed, or possibly some mistake might occur. Tlicy were not removed, however and in a s hort time after the laudanum bottle was missed. Instant inquiry was made after it, and it was ascertained that her ladyship had swallowed the whole of its contents. Dr. Brown was immediately sent for, auu uuuuuies uui. uer lauysuip i remained extremely ill, and notwithstanding the very active exertions made in the hope of counteracting the effects of the poison, the venerable lady expired on Wednesday morning, about half-past seven o'clock. William Monsell was indicted at the Central Criminal Court on Friday for throwing Elizabeth Pullen out of a window, with intent to murder her. The circumstances of this case will be fresh in the recollection of our readers. The parties cohabited together they were quarrelling, and the prisoner was heard to say that he would throw the woman out of the window; almost at the same instant the woman was seen to fall from the window, and she was picked up in an insensible state. At the hospital, where the magistrate took her deposi- tion, she declared that she had thrown herself out of the window. The woman was called as a witness, and she repeated this statement; but it was supposed she was actuated by a desire to screen the prisoner.—The jury returned a verdict of Guilty."—The Recorder told the prisoner he should feel it his duty to transport him for the term of his n ilural life. In Birmingham, nearly £ 7,000 has been subscribed for establishing two sets of baths. Arrangements are in progress for laying the first stone with great eclat; and it is hoped that Prince Albert will perform that ceremony on his way south from Liverpool. The Morning Chronicle states that the number of fish- mongers in Birmingham has, since the opening of the various railways which now centre in that town (between 1829 and 1845,) increased from 10 to 40 and the quan- tity of fish consumed from 400 to 3,000 tons annually. A case was heard in the Exchequer Chamber, which came before the court on a writ of error, to try the effect of a clause, usually inserted in life assurance policies, to the effect that the policy became void if the in- surer committed suicide. The insurer in the present case had effected five policies in the Argus-ofifce, for £[19 .each, an d last year, while suffering from insanity, committed suicide. A decision in favour of his widow had been given by Mr. Justice Cresswell, on the ground that suicide under such circumstances did not come within the direct meaning of a felonious act. After the case had been fnliy argued, the court held that if a man voluntarily killed himself, it was of no consequence whether he was sane or not, and reversed the judgment of the court below. At the Reform Club, in Pall Mail,agreat number of operations in cookery are performed by gas, instead of charcoal; it is found to be more economical, as it can be turned nearly off when not in use, and is far more cleanly, and free from smell. The gas ascends from perforated pipes, in the form of a grid-iron, through a bed of pumice-stone, which being porous and fire-proof, soon becomes of a glowing red heat, and every operation of cooking, frying, broiling, stewing, roasting, boiling, &c., may be performed in the most easy and perfect manner. A destructive fire occurred on Thursday morning in Liquorpond-street, Clerkenwell. It broke out in the extensive workshops of Messrs. Jaques, wood-turners, which, with their contents, were consumed; and the lfames rapidly spread through the thickly populated neighbourhood, destroying several houses in Tothill- street and the adjacent alleys. A great many poor families were aroused from sleep to find their dwellings surrounded with flames; and although, by the activity of the firemen, they were all got out in safety, much of their furniture aim effects received more or less damage. The fire was subdued in less than two hours, but not entirely extinguished for some time afterwards. At the Exeter meeting against capital punishment, a single hand was held up against each resolution. At length some one cried out It's Jack Ketch," and the dissentient hand appeared no more. An interesting incident which occurred during the storming of the Pah, at New Zealand is mentioned in the letter of an officer of her Majesty's ship Calliope." One of the 'Castor's' sailors, named Serjeant, climbed to the top of the stockade, and commenced loading away, and firing at every one of the enemy he could see and when ordered by Colonel Wynyard to come down, he coolly replied, Oh no, your honour, here's the place to see 'em come was afterwards found, that his cap had been shot off, his coat shot through in fonr places, and the palisade on which he sat was riddled through and through; but the man himself was never touched." Two boys of thirteen and fifteen years old, named James Seddon and Joseph Deane, were on Tuesday committed for trial at Manchester, charged with the wilful murder of George Wrav, a boy of about the same age. Death appears to have been produced by external wounds inflicted on the head by some blunt instrument. Robbery of Its., the sum the deceased had in his pocket, led to the murder. The President, Vice-President, and seven of the Profcssols of laynooth College, with a parish priest of the town, have contributed to a fund for the relief of the widow and orphans of a clergyman of the Established Ch urch.—Dublin Packet. At Maynooth the improvements under the new Par- liamentary grant are surprising. Grand walks are now to be seen where a few months ago stagnant poois emitted their fetid smell; delf ware has been substituted for the pewter platter," by the inspectors, and the new wings are to be commenced next month. The exercise- ground has been also improved; the ball courts, &c., in excellent order. All the porters, &c., have livery I now for the first time.-Irislt paper. A sad affray, arising out of a quarrel between some children, took place in a hamlet called Ballydavid, near Athenry, County Galway, on Sunday evening. The mothers first interfered, and then the men. Stones were showered on both sides, and the result was, that one man named Ryan was killed on the spot, and three others have been so badly wounded that they cannot be removed, but remain at their own houses under the charge of the police. The French soldier who murdered Dr. Tuke in Paris, the circumstances of which %c gave at the time, has just been degraded from the ranks and sentenced to ten year's imprisonment. On Sunday a young man lost his life in a strange and unfortunate manner, lie was under the arch of the bridge over the canal de St. Maud, holding a large dog by a cord. He had wound the cord three or four times round his arm, and on the animal suddenly jumping into the water, the young man was dragged in with him, and before aid could be brought was I drowned. CONSERVATISM — The following rather startling suggestions were given on Saturday in a leading article of the Morning Post, exasperated at the success of the Corn Bill — We have now worked out nearly to their issues those principles of Government which were established at our Glorious Revolution/ in IG[<S. House-of-Commons Government has nearly run its course. A worse scheme of Government the wit or folly of mankind is little likely hereafter to devise. Our existing theory of Govern- lIlent is a fraud. That theory assumes the Government to be vested in King, Lords, and Commons. England has long lost her Monarchy. The House of Lords has at length openly sunk beneath the encroachments of the Lower House. The House of Commons is the Govern- ment. "Eyery country, it may be observed, recognises a necessity for Despotic Government. In countries where what we style the arts of civilisation' are little ad- vanced, despotic power usually centres in one individual. In highly 'civilized' countries, in countries where liberal* institutions prevail—there is recognized, not less clearly, a nEccssity for the establishment of despotic power—of a power, in other words, superior to written law. In free" countries this despotism is lodged in public opinion,' and 'public opinion,' is manufactured and wielded' by the classes which rule free' countries—by, in other words, commercialists and money-owners, In England, we have exchanged a despotic Monarch for a despotic House of Commons. Our House of Com- mons is the creature of what League journalists style public opinion and the public opinion' in question is nearly as rotten as the cotton and woollen goods by means of which our League manufacturers bring the Wil11C of England into disrepute in foreign countries. In every happily-governed country, law,' (aa.Plat0 has taught) will govern public opinion. In England public opinion governs law. Law takes, in other words, its impress and character from predominating prejudices and sinister interests. The House of Commons makes our laws and the House of Commons is itself made by classes of men whose anti-social ambition demands for its gratification the permanent abasement of the pro- ductive industry of the country. The best system of laws is necessarily imperfect. The establishment, therefore, in every well-governed state, of some power superior to written law, and cor- rective of its deficiencies, is indispensably necessary. In our scheme for the dispensation of justice, the prin- ciple to which we allude is distinctly recognised. The Court of Equity is designed to act as corrective of the imperfections of our Civil Law Courts. In like manner the Star Chamber—an invaluable institution, if properly used—was, in former times, employed to correct the im- perfections of our Criminal Courts of Law. In the prin- ciple of Monarchy, however, must the great—the all- comprehensive-corrective be looked for. In order to secure good government, in order to impart its true value to law itself, the prerogatives of the Monarch ought to be superior to law. True such prerogatives are liable to perversion and much skill is required to frame a system of sufficing checks against the abuse of monarchical power. By the restoration, however, even without the adoption of such a "system of checks, to the Monarchy, of its ancient prerogatives, we should as- suredly be gainers." A Ct Riors QUESTION FOR THE PEERs.-The Con- clave of Cardinals has sped with unusual rapidity to a decision, and has elected an unusually young Pope. Cardinal Mastci-Ferreti, now Pius IX., is in his 54th year. This is a very remarkable circumstance, and de- notes the urgency of the motives, whatever they may be, that have made the Cardinals depart in this instance from the ordinary practice of promoting to St. Peter's hair men not likely to occupy it long, or to wield the keys with extraordinary vigour. The alarming condi- tion of the States cf the Church, and the need of ener- Tnt;" n.-Mincnlc if nrontoo am c.nnn{"\c!.(1 tn. h!'l."o 5.L. ,VUIIOI'" '.II"'II "I" "Pt' LL("" been the chief considerations presented to the minds of their eminences. At present there appear to be no data from which we can even form a conjecture as to the course of domestic policy which Pius IX. is likely to pursue. Among the rumours respecting the spiritual measures now in contemplation is one to the effect, that the English hierarchy in connexion with the Church of Rome is to be increased from its present number of six bishops to the full complement of two archbishops and twenty-two bishops. The object of this provident scheme is to make suitable berths for the members of Mr. New- man's party, who have already forsaken the Anglican schism, and for those who are expected to follow their example England is also to be favoured in the next distribution of Cardinal's hats. Lord Clifford, son-in- law of the late Cardinal Weld, is about, we believe, to be raised to that dignity. As his lordship is a Peer of the realm, a curious question in Parliamentary etiquette may possibly arise out of his elevation;—namely, is his eminence, the Lord Cardinal Clifford, to take precedence of his Grace the Archbishop of Canterbury ? The Lords, we know, are guided in the internal arrangements of their House by their own precedents.

ALTERATION OF SENTENCE ON THE SELF-ACCUSED FELON.—This prisoner, who on Thursday week pleaded guilty of robbing his employer, Mr. Hoop, of E,,31, and was sentenced to seven years' transportation, was again brought up and placed in the dock of the New Court, before the Common Sergeant, who tried him, who told him that as there were several other prisoners this session who had committed similar offences to his, and had only received sentence of one year's imprisonment, he thoug°ht it would not be just to pass a heavier sentence on Iiim, and si-iould therefore alter the sentence of trans- portation to one year's imprisonment. PORTUGAL.—By the mail steam-packet Madrid, which arrived at Southampton on Friday, we have r.d\ices from Lisbon to the 20th instant. The country was again in a disturbed state. On the 17th theie was an affray at Oporto, which at one time threatened to involve a general outbreak. The IGth Infantry had landed at Oporto. Immediately the troops appeared outside the gates of the Marine Arsenal, the mob which had collected, at soon as it was known that the regiment had arrived, began to groan and pelt the soldiers with stones. No notice whatever was taken by the troops of this outrageous conduct. Any disposition on the part of the men to re- taliate, was checked by the ofifcers. Conde das Antas, the Commander of tue Province, accompanied the regi- ment, and used his endeavours to prevent bloodshed. The mob repaid him with hisses, and several stones struck him and his orderly. His patience was at last exhausted, and as the mob began to increase in its vio- lence on arriving at the Patriarchal Quamada, a square in the upper pait of the town, he ordered some twenty men to face about and feign a charge. The effect was electric, the mere show of resistance causing these v aiiant heroes to scamper in all directions. A small cavalry force was then ordered to the spot; its appearance suf- ficed to disperse the mob, and the regiment proceeded to its quarters without further molestation. Great praise is due to the soldiers for their steadiness; though many were seriouslv injured, not a blow was stiuek by then!. Such conduct can only be atti ibuted to a state of disci- pline which is hjghly creditable to the officers. Every effort had been made to excite the feeling of the populace against this regiment. Incendiary prints were hawked through the streets.charging the soldiers with committing unheard-of atrocities while employed in the Minho pro- vince against the revolutionists. In this state of the popular ferment, it was highly imprudent on the part of Government to order the regiment to land at 110011-day, and in the centre of the city. It is satisfactory to note the disgust manifested by persons of all parties at the conduct of the mob towards the soldiers on this occasion. A letter has been addressed by the Commandant of the 16th regiment to the journals in Oporto, emphatically denying the charges brought against the troops under his orders. At the same time he calls on any person having cause of complaint to come forward and substantiate it. This challenge has not yet been responded to, although several days have elapsed since it was published." Accounts had just reached Lisbon of an attempt at counter-revolution by the 3d Light Infantry, stationed at Braganza, in the province of Tras os Montes. The regiment has proclaimed the Queen in a state of coercion but the people of the place have shown themselves so decidedly hostile to the attempt, that the soldiers are obliged to keep within their quartets. The colonel having refused to join in the movement, the command of the corps has been taken by the senior captain. On Friday night a great crowd assembled at fhePasseio, whence they proceeded towards the Duke of Pahnella's house, for the purpose of demanding the immediate organisation of the National Guard. On the way they were met by Count das Antas, who assured them that the order for that purpose should be published within two days at the utmost. With this they were satisfied, and quietly dispersed. THE MIl.E.-There is a great difference in the number of yards in a mile, in different countries. The following table will be useful:—England, or America, 1,700 yards; Russia, 1,109 Italy, 1,476; Scotland and Ire- land, 2,200 Poland, 4,400; Spain, 5,028; Germany, 4,S6G Sweden and Denmark, 7,223 Hungary, 8,800. II()J,LowA y'" PILLS.—A destructive blue pill. com- posed of calomel, taken at night, and followed by a drastic black draught the next morning, seems to be the favourite remedy for bilious complaints, when poison in small quantities is scarcely less injllrioas: For all liver, stomach, and bilious complaints let the patient take Holloway's admirable Pills, a pure herbal preparation, and for a time drink no wine, beer, or spirits, nor eat of fruit or vegetables: by this course he will not only effectually cure himself, but will also feel himself younger and better in health than for years before. STIn"C'lTllE OF THE TEETH.—The Teeth, it is well known to Physiologists, are composed of bony structure, which is covered with a coating of enamel—a substance of a fibrous nature, and so hard as to strike fire with a steel. Notwithstanding its apparent hardness, the ena- mel is, however, extremely susceptible of injury, and it thus becomes highly important to ascertain what pre- parations are best adapted to preserve so important a substance in its pristine integrity and beauty. We do not hesitate therefore to recommend Rowlands' Odonto, or Pearl Dentifrice," as the most, valualrie means of purifying, embellishing, and preserving the Teeth and j Gums, yet offered to the Public.—See Advt.
