out deriving from it any advantage. The men, even, to whom ribands and titles were thrown instead of hams and sausages, have not been much more flattered. All the populace of courtiers were invited to the distribution, and flocked to it with the same avidity as the wretches who beg in the streets. But the favours of M. de Villele fell by chance on this eager multitude like those of the Prefect of Police. Everybody caught something, and no one was satisfied with his lot. Our ribands and our titles are now like our papermoney formerly-the more the quantity is increased, the less the value becomes. Charles X. has already had the honour of extinguishing the Order of the Lily which he created upon his arrival. If he lives a few years longer, we expect that he will render the same service to all the other Orders.

Every hope, therefore, of restoring the popularity of [this Prince is extinct, and his reign will thus be as melancholy as that of his brother. For him it will be the more so, as he is much less selfish than Louis XVIII, and much more desirous

On the subject of magisterial qualifications, we must be permitted to notice one great defect in the law which pronounces a man unfit for exercising them. Unless a magistrate be confessedly and notoriously actuated by corrupt motives, no offence that in the capriciousness or insolence of his nature, or in ignorance or disregard of the law, he may be induced to commit, is cognizable by his superiors: that is, we suppose, unless he expect to derive actual pecuniary advantage from his misconduct. Why in ninety-nine instances out of one hundred, this motive perhaps neither exists, nor is imputed. The unpaid magistracy, those mirrors of prudence and learning, and who so triumphantly shielded their oppressed brother in the Honourable House, are most of them men of fortune, and even of large possessions, which effectually pre-of applause. His pretensions, as you know, are to be the serve them from all suspicion and temptation to the dishonour able practice alluded to. It is not of their mercenary temper that their poor neighbours have to complain: it is of their supercilious, domineering, oppressive habits and conduct, which oftentimes render them petty bashaws in the district they inhabit, and ready to sacrifice a poor man's life, his property, and reputation, to their own luxuries and indulgencies. Perhaps the strict moralist might in this conduct discern somewhat very nearly approaching to corruption, and highly proper to be considered by a parliamentary, though not by a legal tribunal: however, we must take the word in its legal sense, and then it follows that a magistrate may be as arbitrary, passionate, revengeful, and even malicious as he pleases, he may even act illegally, by the confession of his compeers; but in all this, he is perfectly innocent, as long as by corrupt means he does not get the money out of our pockets!--Stamford News.

model of French chivalry. He lately said, that there were only two men in france capable of appearing well in publichimself and M. de Lafayette. Now, since he is not applauded when he exhibits himself, he cannot procure admiration for the graces of his person, and he feels it a mortal sorrow to be obliged to confine within the precincts of a palace a talent which constituted the happiness of his life. Some time ago, having traversed on horseback, and at a slow pace, the whole extent of the Boulevards, he entered his palace without having obtained a single applause. Bonaparte was less distressed when he returned to his palace after the defeat which conducted him to St. Helena."

A grand ball will be given by His Majesty at St. James's Palace this evening. Great preparations are making for the occasion. The splendid suite of rooms, when lighted up, will excel in grandeur anything that has been seen on any similar occasion. The company are all to appear in new gala dresses. At the late entertainment given by Mrs. Coutts, at her cottage Highgate, the gang of thieves assembled round the pre

"The amnesty has produced no effect on public opinionin the first place, because the public could not consider it as the presage of a change of system; and in the second place, because the Ministry has excluded from it all the men who are known to the nation. Thus, it has excluded General Gallemand, Colonel Fabvier, Colonel Caron, the Advocate Rey, and many others who had been distinguished by their opinions: but it included many names unknown, or individuals who were considered as the secret agents of the police. The total length of the canal is 353 miles, and it is 40 feet wide and It had granted an amnesty to men who had been condemned actual outlay. It is confidently expected that the tolls will pay off the four deep. The produce of the tolls already exceeds the interest of the for publishing opinions contrary to the system of Govern-debt in ten years, and after that the canal will afford a free revenue of ment, but almost all of them had already undergone their punishment, and those who had not endured it had been liberated by prescription, and were beyond its reach.

"The fêtes which the police gave, and which the city of Paris pays, have produced an effect entirely contrary to that which the Ministry anticipated. The gratuitous distribution of provisions by the police offended even those persons who belonged to the working classes. These classes are now by far too well fed and clothed, to mix with the most abject part of the population, and to dispute with it aliments thrown to them as to the lower animals. They kept aloof from it; and, as it was in their favour that it was made, they receive all the contempt with which the Government treats them, with

1,500,000 dollars (330,0001.) In consequence of the success of this great work, seventeen other canals have been projected in the state of New York alone. Some of them are to connect with the Great Canal as branches.-Scotsman.

A meeting of the creditors of Messrs. Chambers took place on Tuesday, Mr. Caleraft, M.P. in the chair. The report of the Committee a ipointed to arrange the affairs, expressed a conviction that nothing but a commits sion of bankrupt could secure to the creditors the property of Mr. Chamstacles in their way. It wasstated by Mr. Montague, that Mr. Chambers bers. The committee complained that Mr. Chambers had thrown obthought the Committee had acted malignantly towards him in declining to release his son, who had been arrested for debt (twenty thousand pounds). This was the cause of the obstructions. After some discussion, empowering them to act as they might think fit respecting the revocation a motion was agreed to, approving of the conduct of the Committee, and of the letter of licence given to Mr. Chambers.

THE LONDON MARKETS. CORN EXCHANGE, FRIDAY, JULY 1, The supply of Wheat and Flour this week has been moderate, and the trade, though dust, remains much as on Monday. Barley obtains rather better prices, the quantity at market being very limited. Beans and Peas also sell on quite as good terms. We are well supplied with Oats at present, particularly from Ireland, and the trade is dull and a trifle cheaper. In osher articles there is no variation to notice. Wheat, 60s. 80s. Barley 36s. 42s.

MAJOR CARTWRIGHT'S MONUMENT.-At a Public Meeting
held, pursuant to advertisement, at the Crown and Anchor Tavern, in the
Strand, on Monday the 20th instant, Sir Francis Burdett in the Chair, for the
purpose of announcing the subscriptions already received and promised, and to
take into consideration the best means of encreasing the subscription, it was
resolved unanimously,
That the great and consistent services which the late John Cartwright has
rendered to the cause of Parliamentary Reform and Religious Freedom, during a
public life of more than half a century, demand from the friends of those prin-
ciples some distinguished mark of respect, which shall not only be an act of
justice to his memory, but serve to stimulate other public men to follow his ex-
cellent and patriotic example.

That it appears to this m eting that the object of perpetuating the remembrance of the signal benefits rendered by the late John Cartwright to his country, cannot be better effected than by erecting a suitable monument, which shall exhibit a brief history of his public conduct.

That from the report made to this meeting, it appears that upwards of 5001. has been already subscribed; that it is desirable this sum should be encreased; and that for this purpose a subscription be now entered into, and kept open until it shall amount to a sum not exceeding 2,0001.

That Dr, Gilchrist and R. Slade, Esq. be appointed Treasurers of this subscription; and that they with the following gentlemen constitute a Committee

HYDROPHOBIA.

The scandalous job made of the new Law-courts is still worse; Mr. White, surgeon of Brighton, denies, it appears, that hydrobecause everything connected with the adininistration of justice stands phobia can be communicated to the human subject by the bite of a foremost in importance with a civilized nation. The old Courts were dog; and Mr. Egerton Smith, the Editor of the Liverpool Mercury, taken down expressly on account of their smal'ness and inconvenient advocates the same doctrine. Mr. White was lately bitten by a dog construction: the new Courts have been built miserably small and in- which had bitten several other persons. The dog was said to be mad, convenient! The Architect is so grossly ignorant of his business, that and, after death, was dissected by Mr. White, who, so confident is he in one Court a person in the witness-box cannot be heard without in his own principles, has resolutely abstained from all means of predifficulty by the Judge, the Jury, and the Counsel, at the same time: venting hydrophobia in his own person.-But if Mr. White should and the Judges have repeatedly complained of the ill-contrived plannot be injured-what then? Will it prove that others, who have been of building. Some persons suspect, and with reason, that there is bitten by dogs, have not died in consequence, after sufferings of the more in this shameful misapplication of public money, than a mere most appalling description? Even if it be imagination only that causes jobbing with architects. Mr. BENTHAM, in his recent pamphlet, resuch awful results, why should people wantonly keep animals that by marks significantly, that "An eminently convenient policy is, the their bites produce such shocking consequences? And what sort of giving the Chambers of Judicature such a size and form, that no lay persons are they, who usually take delight in dogs? With some few gents can find entrance. How much more effectual instruments of exceptions, are they not the idle, the unreflecting, the ignorant, and this policy brick and mortar are, than rules of Court can be, is no the brutal? Only think of the affliction into which a whole circle is secret. All that rules could do, is the rendering admission difficult: thrown by an accident of this kind, and then contemplate the individual, who without absolute necessity persists in keeping an animal From a very instructive and sensible article in the last London Ma-by whom such wretchedness may be caused! Whatever may be the fact as gazine, descriptive of the grand scheme of improvements in the metropolis, we learn, that Mr. NASH-whose invention and enterprise in general design do hum infinite credit, however much we may quarrel with his taste in detail-argues as we do regarding the use to be made of the ground now occupied by the devoted palace; an opinion the more honourable to him as a courtier, inasmuch as it is opposed to the wish of the King. It is his Majesty's opinion, that a wide street, or rather place. resembling Portland place in dimensions, should occupy the present site of the Carlton-gardens. It is Mr. NASH's opinion that a single terraced row should remain there, and that the gardens should remain for the public delectation."By the way, we cordially agree with, this writer in his protest against the continuance of that stagnant unwholesome pool called the “ canal,” in James's Park, the filling up of which, and the conversion of the whole centre of the park into a leafy garden, would be a more beneficial improvement for the Londoners, thau even the projected squares, streets, and places.

to the doctrine of hydyrophobia, measures should be taken immediately to put an end to the fatal scenes which have so often of late afflicted humanity; and if people will indulge in the extraordinary luxury of dog-keeping, they at least should be compelled to keep them from places where they may give rise to incidents, which a dog-fancier even, one should suppose, cannot hear detailed without anguish. The police ought not to lose a day in applying some remedy for the canine nuisance which troubles almost every street in England; for a frightful nuisance it unquestionably is, whatever doubts may be entertained on the physical question. A heavy tax, rigidly enforced, would perhaps be the best remedy, with a smart penalty upon those who suffered their dogs to appear in the streets, unless inuzzled.

consequences of dog madness; and in relating to a friend your last Sun-
day's communication on this subject, he very judiciously remarked," how
easily most instances of dog madness might be prevented, if the dog tax
were put in force, as it ought to be, and which might and would, in every
case, be done, if the tax-gatherers were stimulated to zeal and activity in
the performance of this duty, by a greater proportion of poundage being
lawfully allowed them by Government than they usually have in collect-
ing this tax."

Such a plan as this put into execution, would, I am sure, prevent any
person keeping a dog which was not either a great favourite, or a very
useful domestic; and although I would be the last person to suggest any
thing which could put a poor housekeeper to any unnecessary expense, yet
I charitably think that no man who valued the services of his dog would
object to paying a tax for him, and especially if he humanely reflected on
the object which this act of severity was designed to effect.

Whilst persons are permitted to keep dogs, without paying a tax for them, there will be at least twice as many dogs as would otherwise be kept, and persons who keep dogs merely for pleasure, will not chain them but suffer them to run about the streets; and as all dogs are liable to run mad, the life of every man who walks is therefore in danger. Perhaps we shall soon hear of some mad dog, and then something may be done to prevent a recurrence of great man" losing his life by the bite of a this evil. I should be extremely sorry to hear of such a circumstance, but still I cannot help thinking that if by my influence I had it in my power to check such an evil as the one in question, and neglected to use it, it would be no more than I deserved, if the evil fell upon my own head. In conclusion, may I not remark that many subjects are introduced into both houses of Parliament, and engage the talent of men of the greatest ability, which are comparatively insignificant with the preservation of human life, which this subject properly taken up and considered would be the means of. I am, Sir, yours respectfully,

A Letter from Venice, dated June 10, says,-" On the 28th of October last a young apothecary of Forno di Rivara, was bitten in three places on the left hand by a cat, which died a few days after with all the symptoms of rabies. He at first contented himself by merely washing the slight wounds, and squeezing some blood from them; and it was not till twenty four hours had elapsed, that he cauterised two of them, and that but superficially. On the 19th of November cauterising was again resorted to, and the patient was ordered to take pure vinegar every morning besides a decoction of geneva, of which he was to take two glasses a day. But what the physician particularly attended to, was the small glands under the tongue; they appeared to be in a perfect state of health. This treatment went on, and the young man, having both his appetite and natural sprightliness, continued to apply as usual to his business, without feeling the least uneasiness. About the 1st of December, however, his sprightliness forsook him; he sought solitary places, weeping incessantly; his sleep became disturbed, and frequently interrupted by unpleasant dreams; he felt a distaste for every kind of meat and drink; his colour became livid, and his eyes quite red. The physician then discovered that of the two glands, that on the right was in its natural state, while the one on the left, the same side as the bitten hand, presented much swelling and inflammation. Without losing time, the two glands were cauterised. The operation was painful in the extreme; the young man for eight hours endured the highest degree of fever, the violence of which, however, afterwards decreased gradually, and totally disappeared on the following day. He then began to recover; his appetite returned, and he resumed with pleasure the use of wine and water. The symptoms of hydrophobia at first observed in the wounds were obliterated impercep; tibly, and ever since the young man, quite restored to health and business, has not felt the least sensation from the wounds. It appears quite clear that he owes his safety to the cauterising of the glands.' A medical gentleman has stated, that a few drops of any mineral acid, ut in the wound inflicted by a rabid animal, effectually prevents hydrophobia; it decomposes the saliva poison, consequently no bad effect
