H . B . —The above _-nrorS may still he procured in numbers , price 6 d . each . "I have , within the last few months , visited every part of France , and I declare that I have seen more -misery in one street in Dublin than in all France ; the people are wen claa , _veU fed , and merry ; they are _aR employed on Shavl Fawh of their own , or on equitable takings !"Tide Lord Cloncurry ' s Letter in Horning Cironiele , Oct . 5 ft , 184 * 3 . Those persons desirous of bettering their condition and of becoming "Independent Labourers" b y entering the "Productive-labour"' Market , --HI do -well to read "A Practical Work on Small Farms , " hy Feakcus O'Connor , Esq . It contains much useful information , invaluable to the parties for whom it was written ; and Old Farmers will finil many useful lessons in the new system of _husoandry _, which they hava yet to learn . The work displays great practical knowledge , and is written so that any one who reads may understand . Mr . O'Connor seems not to have used either the old or ' new nomenclature' in this "work ; he lias not buried his Tneaning in chemical technicalities , wliich very few understand , hut which most writers on agriculture seem so desirous of using . Perlinps they do not understand the practice of Farming so well as the theory ; and , therefore , mystify that which they cannot explain , hy some long chemical term , whicli the plain reader may pass over as a "hard word , " hard to pronounce , and harder to understand when it is pronounced . The reader wiU find that Mr . O'Connor has avoided aU those hard names , and suited the language to the toiling labourer , whose college is generally the workshop , or , at best , the _SnnOay School . Though the work is written for holders of Small Farms , yet no Allotment Tenant ought to be without it ; the valuable information it contains respecting tilling and cropping is alike useful _toalL" —Extract from a Farmer ' s Letter . " This really useful littl * volume ought to be in the hands of every one at all connected with agricultural pursmts . "— -Lloyd ' s Wcddy London Newspaper . "Although we feel no desire , in Hie language of the proud Peruvian , in contemplating what we hope to rejoice in , the contentment , prosperity , and comfort of our fellow men to exclaim— " This , this is my work ; " nor is our object , as Mr . O'Connor declares his to be , "that each man who is willing to work may be independent of every Other man in the world / or his daily bread , " yet we can with much pleasure recognise in the book before us a powerful instrument for aiding in developing in man a vnrch nighcr _desthvj than he has hither toattaiutu . "Mr O'Connor shews clearly , what will soon be apparent io aU who reflect deeply , that we are not left without the Keans of obtaining not only all that is physically requisite for man ' s progress , but also that we may readily _pro-^?« _re _wii-. t _*« _axixttiT-CTiflv _. _fosirelile _; for none who carefully peruse this work can doubt that a system of small farms , held by active and industrious labourers , would amply -return , in exchange for healthful exertion , far more than is requisite to preserve physical strength . ' He also shews that somethingmore than this is requisite to ensure happiness , for lie says in page 121 , " I feel convinced that man can place no reliance whatever upon Ms fellow man , or a community of men , when circumstances operate upon his or their minds , the influence and effect of which would De stronger than any abstract notions of justice . For instance , if a community of lahouring men purchase a quantity of land , and hire hu Dour for its cultivation , however just their intentions and pure their motives , they -wall nevertheless feel themselves justified in raising the price of the land , according to the improved value conferred upon it by the labour of the iired workman . This power of steadily trenching upon the rights of others is one of the greatest disadvantages against which the labourer has to contend ; and those hired by a community , at the end of twenty years would he in no better condition than they were at starting , while fhe community of proprietors would have increased the Talue of their property _twenty-fold : that is , they would hare robbed those labourers , by whose industry the value was increased , of nineteen shillings in the pound . " " These remarks are powerful arguments in the sphere 3 n which they are written , and if examined in their relation to the universal , they confirm thc ' testimony that "The earth is the lord ' s , and all that therein is ; the round world and they that dwell therein ; " for , after partaiking freely of what is good for each order of creation , any self-appropriation , by whatever parties indulged in , is from evil , and will produce its congGquonco , namely , vice , crime , and misery . f "yfe can strongly recommend Mr . O'Connor ' s work to our readers , containing a gieat amount of practical information on agriculture , which should be most popularly uiffuseu .

Price Two Sniffings . FIFTEEN LESSONS on the ANALOGY and SYNTAX Of the ENGLISH LANGUAGE , for the use of adult persons who have neglected the study of Grammar . By _TVar . Him ... Fifth edition , revised and amended . The Lessons in these works are intended solely for the use of natives . They are divested , therefore , of aH those hair-breadth distinctions and unnecessary subdivisions in Analogy , which , if at all useful , can only be useful to foreigners . The science of Grammar is disentangled in them from the folds of mysticism which have so long enshrouded it . The absurd and unmeaning technicalities which pervade all other works on Grammar areexclianged for terms which have a definite and precise meaning , illustrative of the ttings they represent The Parts of Speech are arranged on an entirely new principle , founded on a philosophical consideration of the nature of language . The necessary divisions and subdivisions are rationall y accounted for , and the principles of Universal Grammar demonstrated so fully that the meanest capacity may understand them as clearl y as it understands thattwo and two make four . In Syntax , the formation of the English Language is exclusively consulted , without any unnecessary reference to other languages . A majority of the numerous Rules given in most Grammars are shewn to be little better than aheap of senseless tautology . The necessary Rules are demonstrated upon rational principles , and illustrated by 3 variety of examples . By the use ofthe fifteen lessons , and the accompanying exercises , anyone may , in a few weeks , acquire a good knowledge of Grammar , without any of the disgusting drndgery which , under the present system , prevents nine out . of ten from ever acquiring a knowledge of Grammar at alt ; "A competent Grammatical knowledge of our own language is the true basis on which all literature ought to test "—Bishop _Lawih . •' _. Mr . Hffl is evidentl y an original thinker . He attacks , with ability and success , the existing system of English Grammar , and points out the absurdities with which it is racuniDered . Justly condemning the too frequent _prac-Hee of makingpnpus commit portions of Grammar to memory as tasks , he maintains that the only proper way to the memory is through the understanding it js _SoU'Sei ° _, * ° Sa >' ' m a ™ V * S <* . he _fr _* a -more clear and comprehensive view of the structure of 2 b 2 £ _^ _^ _TT M * & Und in Eome _™ _5 _Caoorateworks .

"The various forms of bodily and mental weakness , incapacity , suffering , and disease , faithfully delineated in this cautiously written and practical work , are almost unknown , generally misunderstood , and treated on priu » _- ciples correspondingly erroneous and superficial , by the present race of medical practitioners . Hence the necessity for the publication of a timely safeguard , a silent yet friendly monitor ; or , where debility has made threateningflnroads , the means of escape and the certainty of restoration . The evils to which the book adverts are extensive and identical in their secret and hidden origin , and there are none to whom , as parents , guardians , heads of families , and especially of public schools , is confided tiie care of young _peojile , who ought to remain for a moment devoid of that information and those salutary cautions this work is intended to convey . Not onl y are the most delicate forms of generative debility neglected by the _fnmayphysicum , huHheyrC ( iuii'eforQicir safe manage _, nient the exclusive study of a life entirely abstracted from the routine of general practice , and ( as in other departments of the profession ) attentively concentrated in the daily and long-continued observation requisite for the correct treatment of sexual hifinnities . "If we consider the topics touched upon either in a moral or social view , we find the interests and welfare of mankind seriously involved . The effects of licentious , indiscriminate , and secret indulgence in certain practices , arc described with an accuracy and force which display at once profound reflection and extensive practical experience . "— ' Lite Planet . " The best of all'friends is the Professional Friend , and in no shape can he be consulted with greater safety and secrecy fhsmin'Lucason Manly Vigour . ' The initiation into vicious indulgence _^—its progress—its results in both sexes , are given with faithful , but alas ! for human nature , with afflicting truth . However , the authors have not exposed the evil without affording a remedy . It shows how'Manly Vigour' temporarily impaired , and mental and physical emasculation , produced by uncontrolled indulgence of the passions , can be restored ; how the sufferer , who has pined in anguish from the consequences of early indiscretion—afraid almost to encounter Ids fellowman , can regain the vigour of health and moral courage . The workis written hi a concise and perspicuous style , displaying how often fond parents are deceived by the outward physical appearance of their youthful offspring ; how the attenuation of the frame , palpitation ofthe heart , derangement of the nervous system , cough , indigestion , and a train of symptoms indicative of consumption or general decay , are often ascribed to wrong causes ; and instead of being the natural results of congenital debility or disease , are the consequences of an alluring and pernicious practice , alike destructive to the mind and body . "Bell' s New Weekly Messenger , " Although a newspaper is not the ordinary channel for the expression of opinion upon the merits of a medical work , this remark is open to exception in any instance where the public , and not tiie isolated and exclusive members of the profession , are the parties addressed , Upon that which is directed to men indiscriminately , the world will form its own opinion ; aiid will demand that medical works for popular study should be devoid of that mysterious technicality in which the science * of medicine has hitherto shrouded its own ignorance . The work before us treats of subjects we believe generally , yet very strangely , neglected by the medical attendant , and requiring doubtlessly ( as in operative midwifery and the surgery ofthe eye ) an entire devotedness to a deeply important branch of study . The tone of this book is highly moral , and it abounds in well-written , harrowing , yet correct displays ofthe suffering consequent upon unbridled sensualism . No human being can be the worse for its perusal ; to multitudes it must prove a warning beacon , a well-told appeal to reason , a permanent blessing . Itis written in a clear intelligible style , and is evidently the production of a mind long and practically conversant with the diseases of the most delicate division of the human organization . "— The Magnet , \ i " The security of Happiness in the Marriage State is the chief anxiety of all ; but many dread entering upon wedded union , through a secret fear of unfitness for _jtlie discharge of matrimonial obligations . This essay is most particularly addressed to all suffering under a despondency of the character alluded to ; and advice will be found calculated to cheer the drooping heart , and point the way to renovated health .

Dear Sir , —I cannot leave England without acknowledging the benefit I have received from your invaluable Cough Lozenges . Having been afflicted for the last thirteen years with frequent and severe attacks of Asthma and short breath ( particularly in winter time ) , I sought , for three years , for a remedy at the most renowned apothecaries in London—but in vain—I could find no relief whatever . ; when fortunately I met with your establishment , 70 , St . Paul's Church-yard , and as soon as I made use of your incomparable lozenges , the expectoration was dislodged without pain , and my breath became entirely free ; and by taking only one or two at bed time , my sleep was never once disturbed during tiie whole night . Therefore I am perfectly convinced that I owe my existence to your famous lozenges . Many of my friends are now your customers , and the undersigned willingly add their names to this certificate in testimony ofthe benefit which they also have derived from the use of your lozenges .

WRAY'S BALSAMIC PILLS , a certain , safe , and the most speedy remedy ever , discovered for . the permanent aud effectual cure of strictures , seminal weakness , pains in the loins , affections of the kidneys , gravel , rheumatism , lumbago , gonorrhoea , gleets , local debility , irrita . tion of the bladder or urethra , and other diseases of the urinary passages . The unprecedented success that has attended the administration of these pills , since they were made public , has acquired for them a sale more extensive than any other proprietary medicine extant , and the circumstance of their entirely obviating the necessity of having , recourse to those disgusting , nauseous , and in many cases highly injurious medicines ( as copaiba , cubebs _, Ac ) , has obtained for-them a reputation unequalled in the annals of medicine . Prior to being advertised , these pills were employed in private practice in upwards of 1 , 800 cases , many of them most inveterate—in many thousand cases since , and in no one instance known to fail , or to produce those unpleasant symptoms so often experienced while taking copaiba , and that class of medicines usually resorted to in these complaints . The proprietor pledges himself that not one particle of copaiba , either vesin or balsam , cubebs , or any deleterious ingredient , enters their composition . Copaiba and cubebs have long been the most commonly employed medicines in the above complaints ; but , from the uncertainty in their etfects , together with their utter inefficaey in many cases , are fast decliningin reputation ; and , from the unpleasant symptoms invariably produced from taking copaiba , especially in the early stage of the complaint , many of the most able modern practitioners condemn it as dangerous , and a medicine not to be depended upon . Many persons , after having suffered more from the effects of the remedy than the virulence of the disease , and , after a patient but painful perseverance , have been compelled to relinquish its use , the whole sy stem h aving become more or less affected , and the disease as bad , if not worse , than at the commencement . As regards cubebs , it is true that those violent effects are uot experienced as while taking copaiba , but they seldom effect a cure , unless more active medicines are administered . The Balsamic Pills are free from any of the above objections ; they act specifically on the urinary passages : and , from their tonic properties , tend to strengthen , the system and improve the general health . They require neither confinement nor ; alteration of diet ( except abstinence from stimulants , where considerable inflammation exists ) , and , as experience has amply proved , ' they will effect a cure sooner than , copaiba ( the dangerous results of which , in the inflammatory stages , are too well known to need comment ) , or any other medicine in present use , and maybe justly considered the only safe and elficaeious remedy : in all stages . ; of those disorders . In addition to these advantages , th yery convenient form in which this invaluable preparation is offered to the public , must also a desideratum _. Prepared only by M . O .

TO MR . PROUT , 229 , STRAND , LONDON . „ . Wednesbury , Sept . 2 , 1844 . SIR , —I have been an agent for BLAIR'S GOUT and RHEUMATIC PILLS upwards of four years ; during that period very many cases of cure by their use have been effected and come under my notice in this town and neighbourhood , which has secured to them a celebrity unequalled by any other medicine . I , therefore , in justice feel bound to state to you the following instance of their efficacy ;—A person ofthe name of Turner applied to me in August , 1840 , for a box of Blair ' s Pills ., He bad been subject to violent attacks of Rheumatic Gout for ten years , and compelled to give up work for weeks at a time . He had tried medical aid , and everything he could hear . of , or that his friends had recommended . He was then labouring under one of those attacks , but by taking Blair's Pills according to the directions , he was quite restored . Since then ; whenever he feels an attack approaching , by taking only a few doses it speedily vanishes . He wishes me to state these facts to you for the benefit of others . You are at liberty to publish the above if you think fit . I am , sir , your obedient servant , FREDERICK . O . ' LADBVJR-Y , Chemist . The decided superiority of this medicine over every other hitherto offered to the public for the cure of those dreadfully painful diseases , gout , rheumatic gout , rheumatism , lumbago , sciatica , ifcc ., is so fully manifested by the' increasing sale , and the testimony of thousands in every rank of life , that those who aro aware ofthe existence of such a remedy , and have not availed themselves of trying its efficacy , cannot truly be objects of sympathy . The testimonials of the astonishing effects of this medieiue are universally accompanied by the fact that no inconvenience of any _soi't attends its administration , but that the patient , without feeling the operation of the medicine , is universally left in a stronger and butter state of health than experienced previous to being afflicted with this disease ; and in all cases of acute suffering , great relief is experienced in a few hours , and a cure is generally effected in two or three days . ¦ Sold . by Thomas Prout , ' JUS , Strand , London , price 2 s « 9 d . per box ; and , by his appointment , by Heaton , Hay , Allen , Land , Ilaigh , Smith , Bell , Townsend , Baines and Newsome , Smeeton ; Heinhardf , Tarbottoin , and Horner , Leeds ; Brooke , Dewsbury ; Dennis aud Son , Burdckin , -Moxon , Little , Hardman , Linney , and Hargrove , York ; Brooke aud Co ., Walker and Co ., Stafford , Paulkner , Doncaster ; Judson , Harrison , Linney , Ripon ; .

The Great Britain Steam Ship.
THE GREAT BRITAIN STEAM SHIP .
_ Mis Stupendous Iron Steamer,Which.;Lor...
__ mis stupendous iron steamer , which . ; lor along time past has occupied so much ofthe public attention , is at length arrived in the river Thames , from Bristol , and moored off the Blackwall Pier . It is not on account of her immense burden alone that she has attracted so much attention : important scientific principles are involved in the experiment : and the success of this splendid ship will be justly regarded as tiie perfection of steam navigation . In her passage to thc Thames , so many and various have been the opportunities for thoroughly developing her qualities and capabilities as a sea boat and as a steam-vessel , that an account of her trip thither cannot fail to be
interesting to practical men ; for it has boon admitted by all on board this mighty fabric that if she were to plough the seas for a century she could have no better opportunity of testing her capabilities . On Thursday afternoon , about half-past three , about forty gentlemen embarked at Bristol , at the Cumberland Basin , on board thc Samson steam-tug , and proceeded down to King Road , where the Great Britain lay with her steam up , in readiness to start on her trial trip to the Thames . All matters having been arranged , Capt . Hoskon got the . vessel under weigh , and after some delay in fording an anchor and some wreck , she gale fairly started onher passage atseven p . m . The wind at-. this time blew a hard gale to the southward . The continued all Thursday night , and up to five o ' clock the next morning , at which time the ship was off
Mucom . bc , when the wind suddenly chopped round to the northward and westward , blowing most furiously . Several heavy seas struck the ship with great violence , and in consequence of being light she rolled most awfully and very quick , knocking furniture about below , and extensively damaging the crockeryware . At the time the wind changed the vessel maintained her speed of from four-and-a-half to five knots an hour against the gale , the engines working with great uniformit y at from 10 to 12 strokes per minute . At 10 a . m ., when offLundy Island , the sea was what nautical men term a " short cross and nasty" one , and at this time the jib and foresail were set . It should here be remarked , il . _ i' ii . n it- _»_* i _» i • _n .. '
_tiiai _diic - area-c isriiain naYiug six masts of a peculiar rig , the two' foremost are called fore and main , and the other four are numbered respectively one , two , three , four ; thc mainmast only has yards . There was a splendid trial of the capabilities of this magnificent ship . With three sails set and with a heavy cross sea , running six points on the bow , - she maintained a speed of six and , a half knots . We have before remarked" that several heavy seas struck the ship with great effect , but about noon she encountered one so terrific that many thought on board the mighty structure would be engulfed by the mountainous wave towering above the masts . Although 327 feet in length , and 52 feet in breadth , the huge mass was tossed about with apparently as much ease
as a cork . Those who were below at the time the sea struck the ship , rushed upon deck , and many not accustomed to sea voyages exhibited the greatest consternation , imagining that the ship had split on . a rock , or had come in contact with another vessel . So violent was the force of the sea that two of the dead-lights in the bow , with their frames , wliich were rivetted to the side of the ship , were forced in , and the wafer rushed into the forward compartment . The figure-head was somewhat damaged , and some portion of the bulwarks fastened to the side of the ship , and a heavy piece of thick wood , strongly rivetted and bolted between iron plates , was' so severely shaken as to exhibit cracks . On examination , however , it was found that no material injury had been sustained , further than the complete sousing consequent on the admission ofthe sea .. At twelve
ocioclc on Jbnday , Capt . ilosken / _wasenabled to keep her one point more away , the " spencers , " or sails , were set on _JS os , 1 ,-2 , and 3 masts , when her speed increased to 8 knots 2 fathoms , and what is most remarkable , 39 showing the superiority of the screw over the paddle wheels , she actually produced tMs result without one iota of additional steam , thus proving that where sails are used in conjunction with tho screw , a great saving of fuel is effected . It may hero be "remarked that the most triumphant part of this experiment is that of a screw being constantly immersed in the ratio of 6 seconds to 2 , when about r t-fcet of the screw was visible in its operation ; and horo it may he added that the propeller of this vast body , of 3 , 500 tons , measures only 16 feet in diameter , by 2 feet 3 inches fore and aft length , weighing only 3 tons , which placed at the very bottom of the vessel , acts more as _ballastfthan otherwise ; _whereasjjhad ' the Great Britain been fitted with paddle wheels , the

It wasv ' nerally admitted , and particularly by Capt . _rj _Uf that had a paddle-wheel vessel been in company 3 the Great Britain during the gale that she _cxperiiJS in the British Channel , that she could not have _hriS
tne slightest way witu ner , as tne sea that was thl running would have caused tho paddles io be _S frequently out of water by the rolling ofthe vesJ Under ordinary circumstances , this is prevented j : setting canvas , with thc view of steadying the shir , ; but , from the violence of the gale , it'ifc had been 4 ' in this instance , it would , in all probability , l _^ done as much harm as good , hy depressing ' the £ wheel , and consequently causing the . weather _ont-j be whirling round in the air , touching only the toi of the waves as they passed along the side : of _coun

_pliment to the first pennant ever met by the Git *; Britain , Captain Hosken fired a gun , and all bug on board gave tliree hearty cheers , wliich * , _vq responded to by the crew and soldiers on board t _!* Apollo , that crowded her decks to view tlic mo-is- ; . steam-ship . The Great Britain passed the " _ty Light at 3 A 6 r . M ., and pursued her course . It w _* became veiy thick , and began to blow hard fram i southward and eastward ; No . 2 spencer was sot , \ _-fj the jib , being about one-tenth part of the cai < v ;» _& can spread .
