An Essay On The Diseases Of The Jaws, An...
AN ESSAY ON THE DISEASES OF THE JAWS , AND THEIR TREATMENT . By _Lewaxd Kokcker , _Swrgeon-uentist . New Edition , with copious Notes , and an Appendix , by J . B . Mitchell , M . D ., Surgeon-dentist . London : J . Churchill , Princes-street . It has been very justly observed , tbat * Medicine seems to be one of those ill-fated arts whose advancement bears no proportion to its antiquity '—a retardment wbich has been set down to the narrowminded policy of many belonging to a profession that , of all othera , should be the most liberal and enlightened . In medicine _) as in other sciences , men whose devotion to truth led them to reveal the results of tbeir laborious research into the arcana ef nature , were , informer ages , doomed to the most cruel
persecution ; Galileo was threatened with the flames if he did not publicly renounce , and declare hb astronomical discoveries damnable heresies ; Vanini , the philosopher , died at the stake , and the learned Jordanus Bruno , the intimate friend of the generous and high-minded Sir Philip Sidney , perished by the same fate ; whilst Paracelsus was denounced as a madman , asd his writings burnt in tbe chief towns of Italy , for having called in _questioa the prevalent medical doctrines of his day . This talented professor ' s reward for his ardent desire to promote the well-being of bis fellow creatures , was the relentless hatred of his professional brethren—he died broken-hearted an outcast of society . t Innovation upon old systems and unjust opinions , bas always met with the most intolerant and rancorous abuse , and hence the
most noble and gifted of mankind have been immolated at the shrine of despotic ignorance . Even in the present day , hostility to progressive improvement exists . Jenner , when he first promulgated his glorious discovery of vaccination , was , like Paracelsus , opposed with the tbe most bitter malignity and , of late , who has not witnessed with indignation the vindictive and vulgar abuse directed against one ofthe most _enb _' ghtened physicians of modern times , for Iris adhesion tothe principles of mesmerism ?

with these deplorable facte before us , we bail with high satisfaction any work * that has for its aim the exposure of ignorance , or the advancement of science , especially if it be an investigation into the errors that are prevalent in medical practice * for , if any department of human knowledge should be J more free than another from prejudice , it ought to be that art which is so intimately connected with humanity . The profession of medicine , if cultivated : intelligibly , and followed out upon tbe principles of integrity , would be the most useful amongst mankind ; but , unfortunatelv , it has not yet arrived at such perfection . Sir William Temple long ago said the love of lucre was the W _:. -9 It •* .. «¦
most predominant feeling with the general uerd of practitioners , and this portion of the profession have been always the slaves of those false theories propounded in the schools , whereby the most grievous errors are almost daily perpetrated . We have constantly an inundation of medical works ; hut many of them are published from no other motives than cupidity and ostentation , contributing not one useful idea to the stream of our medical kuowledge . The volume , however , which is at present before us , ranks eminently as an exception . It evinces high
practical utility , abounds with the most logical deductions , and , withal , bas the merit of investigating primary causes , and showing their effects . It embraces a comprehensive view of those various and formidable diseases which proceed from a morbid state of the teeth , and which , ultimately attacking the jaws and surrounding parts , involve the unhappy sufferers in great misery , aud not unfrequently a premature asd lingering death . The object of this work is to prove that , had medical ; men devoted themselves more to the diseases of the
I teeth , operations ofthe most appalling nature wonld have been unnecessary—in short , had the primary causes heen more studied , the knife of the surgeon would have been altogether superseded . The teeth form a most important portion of the animal economy , and it is wonderful , " considering their complicated structure , and the sympathy and influence which they have over the whole nervous sys . tern , that the diseases to which they are liable , shonld have been ijven up to those mechanical , fashionable , and advertising dentists , whose ignorance of medical _fcienee is notorious . We wish our
limits would have admitted of a more extensive review _, of Mr Koecker ' s essay . We may , however , lay , that it is written with elegance and perspicuity ; whilst the copious notes of Dr Mitchell are highly illustrative of the varied phenomena which he , with so much ability , discusses . His frank and candid opinions merit the praise of all who feel any interest in the advancement of medicine , or the alleviation of human suffering . In support of the views taken , several medical ' writers of distinction are quoted .
We may mention , that the late Dr James Saunders , of Edinburgh , in his lectures on the practice of medicine , was most zealous in directing the attention of his pupils to those dangerous affections resulting from a decayed and rotten state ofthe teeth , and now that a volume has appeared exclusively upon the subject , we have no hesitation in saying that both Mr Koecker and Dr Mitchell have given a prestige to their names , connected with medical science , worthy of the deepest approbation .
A Logic Of Facts : By G. J. Holyoake. Lo...
A Logic of Facts : By G . J . Holyoake . London : J . Watson , 3 , Queen ' s _Head-passage , Paternoster-row . Another of the cheap and excellent educational works for which the young workmen of England are indebted to Mr Holyoake . The author ' s object will be best shown by the following extracts from the ' Proem '*—The Logic of the schools is difficult to master , pedantic to apply , and fails to meet half the common want . This treaii * e is an _usceremonious endeavour to enlarge its province aad abbreviate its details . The _Logic of the schools begins with the managamtnt of the premises of an argument , this treatise begins with the premises themselves . A thousand errors arise through the assumption of premises far one arising in tha misplace _, ment cf propositions . The Logta of the schools is an elaborate attack npea th _9 lesser evil _.
I No hnman ingenuity can combine , in one perform . ance , the rtfiuennnt applauded in the universities , and the pedantry cherished ia academies , with the practical I purpose , popnlar among those who toil to live and live I to toil , The populsce are my choice—ot them I am 1 , end , like Lord Grey , am disposed ' to stand by my order . ' I write for tbis class bo'h from affection and taste . If I can benefit any , I can them . I _knsw their difficulties , for I have encountered them—their wants , for they have been mine . * * . » The hints , general rales , and elementary remarks dispersed _throughout this work , embrace a wide extent of _ground , and though tbey wiU be pronounced by some to be Irregular , will yet , I am convicoed , be found of practical service to the uninitiated , and pnt them ia
tha right road to higher acquirements , give them a confidenos in their own porters , and perhaps inspire them with a lore of these essential studies , and impart a taste for tbe refinements which lie beyond . Hy hope is that many will be induced to consult scholastic treatises , and acquire tbat perfect knowledge of these _subjects wbich makes the society of educated people so charming . But my object in what is here presented it specific , and I am net witboBt hope tbat it will win tbe approval ef these who know most of the subject . The Impulse _hes been given to knowledge , and the populsce have _begua to think for themselves , and both speak and write their thinkings—and wby shonld they not be enabled to doit free from obvious mistakes , and with a broad propriety commensurate with the native intelligence they possess t
C : mmon sense is the substratum of all logic . Com * mon _sensa ii the natural sense of mankind . It is founded on common observation and experience . It is modest and plain and unsophisticated . It sees with everybody's eyes and hears with ever * body ' s ears , It has no _capricious distinctions , no partialities , and no mysteries . It never equivocates and never trifl _s . Its language is _alweys the same , and is always intelligible . It is known by us perspicuity of _speeeh and singleness of purpose . Tbe most predtnt of all tbe chUdren ot fact , it never forsakes nature or reason . Ever dwell ? this power with the people—how great wonld be their influence were this _yowtr bat methodised ! Some outline _hws for its employment mast be better than popnlar , aimless , and desultory n « e . Will not tbe utility of indicating these cancel ths presumption of the _attemrt !
The very name of 'Logic' is distasteful to most untaught persons from its supposed ' dryness ; ' but in the hands of Mr Holyoake the subject is neither dry nor dull . He traces tbe whole art of reasoning in a manner calculated to win the attention of even the most prejudiced and careless readers . We strongly recommend the Logic of Facts , ' as well calculated to advance the mental enlightenment and moral power of ' the people . '

London : G . _Briggs , 421 , Strand . _^ A poor miserable thing is the pretended Chartist ' author of the pamphlet , we have marked No . 1 . God save the Chartists from such 'friends' as this * Publius' ( for such is the signature attached to the precious production ) , who has devoted sixteen octavo pages to a reproduction of the calumnies of ths enemies of Chartism , mixed up with laudations of the Leaguers , commendations of Lord John Russell , praise of such blessed journals as the London Examiner , stabbings at Cuffey and _Fassell , and denunciations of * the anarchists in our ranks . ' Poor devil 1 Happily his power to do mischief is not equal to his will ; the spirit is willing but the brain is weak . ' His silliness neutralises bis enmity .
2 . —This pamphlet is in the shape of a'Letter ' addressed to the electors of Great Britain and Ireland . The author takes for his text the following : - While the dock was being cleared , a pieioing sbritk burst forth from a remote corner of tbe court , which was understood to proceed from the wife of one of the prisoner * . —Vide 'Timet , ' Sept . Srd , 18 * 8 . On this text the author of the pamphlet has written half-a-dozen pages of truth and eloquencewhich , however unheeded by the class to whom hs addresses himself , cannot fail to move the hearts , and call forth the thanks of the sons and daughters of Labour . Truly , does he say that the unhappy men condemned at the Old Bailey , had been' treated as outcasts by society , ' and , therefore , ' saw in rebellion against society , a sacred right , if not a duty . ' We quote a few of his words : —•
TO THE ELECroBS . Forget net thiB woman ' s cry , ye who undertake to govern society , who falsely declare , ' We are society— -we have the intelligence and the virtue which fit men ta govern and guide in a nation ; tbe rest ef men are not fit to share the rights of citizens , because they have not that Intelligence and that virtue , and because they are peor . ' Alas ! the condition of humanity in this fair and once ' merrie England , ' affords but _poorprosf o ? irtnnus _, honest , or _intelllgint _government ; Strangi sounds , I tell yon , are heard in every oorner of tbe lend —not merely tbat frightful shriek of agony in tho Old Bail ; j , but other cries , mingled with poor men ' s curies —are being uttered in tbe squalid home ef the _nncarid for , perishing labourer ; and there are men lato whose souls these sounds have penetrated , and they swear to rest not nntU soma remedy , some amelioration is at .
tempted . I tell yon , electors and privileged _iaw-msk rs , yoa _standbifore tho world , not guiltless of this woman ' s cry of misery , nor of ths thousand other _crlis ef misery which resound throughout England , to _ssy nothing ol wbat is beard la tbat still mora dismal scene on . the otber side of St George ' s Channel . I teil you that ytu are the Criminals ; history wi : l record -it of yon , tbat never In any period of the w * r Id ' s existence was a nation gov- rned with a greater amount of cant , fr _^ ud , snd cruelty ; nsver was there a time wfcen human rights wera demanded more fairly , or mote intelligently , by tbe multitudes , than at this moment ; never was there less reason to den ; those rights ; never was tbere a t ' me when the privileged few bad greater _canse to resign the ' . r assumed dominion . Fer , I sa ; again , your rule t at been distinguished neither by superior intelligence nor suptrlorvlriue .
I have appealed _toujour sense of justice , rather than to yonr fears , because this woman ' s _sbriek has cut me to the * sal _** _kfld made mea gidder man ; bat there maybe others in _whese bosoms it will eBgecdsr a different feeling . Do not suppose you have f ; r ever put down rebellion _. The government have rather shown how alarmed ihey are ; and , depend en it , plots will abound , and conspiracies increase , whilst a slate olass remains and increases in society . We trust for their own sakes that the working
men will abstain irom' plots and conspiracies . ' But as long as a slave-class continues there will be war of some kind or other between the oppressed and tbe oppressors . As long as the _present system endures we will never join in the canting cry of' peace , law , and order . ' ' Law' there will be plenty of , but order' there cannot be , and' peace '—that is the peace of contented slavery , ' or the peace of despairihere ought not to be . We thank the author of this pamphlet for his timely and ably written ' letter / which we cordially recommend to our friends .
3 . —Mr West proposes : — That all laws relating to English settlement be _abolished , and a g'neral enactment be established , by wh ' ch the Incapable , the lame , the blind , and the haltincluding every other class of destitute persons—may be enabled to obtain relief whenever and wherever they may need it . With the exception of the law of settlement Mr West would leave the Poor Law system as it at present exists . The monstrous evils and cruelties occasioned by the present law of settlement call
loudly for a change ; and the principle of Mr West ' s scheme we cordially approve of . We are , however , anxious for a much more sweeping reform—a reform which shall cause the employment of the poorrates for the extinction of pauperism . The three requisites for that reform—land , labour , and money —are at the disposal of any government possessing sense and honesty . But such a government we shall never have as long as England is governed by the Russells and the Peels—or , perhaps , we should rather say—by the million knaves and fools who constitute' the worthy and independent electors' ( 1 ) of Great Britain and Ireland .
4 . —We have a great horror of' philanthropists / as from experience we have found that tribe composed almost without exception of designing knaves or twaddling fools . We admit the possibility of ¦ exceptions . ' and to sHch may belong the ' philanthropic' author of this _^ pamphlet . He draws a frightful and too true pictuie of the condition of the masses of this country ; but his ' remedy' is' an extensive system of emigration . ' * It is estimated , ' says the author of this pamphlet , ¦ that there are fifteen millions of persons in idleness and want ' in Great Britain and Ireland- Will Mr Shaw pretend that any system of emigration can remove this vast number of human beings to the antipodes ?
Suppose that number removed , the system under which that fifteen millions have been pauperised , continuing in existence , would not fail to pauperise the ever-increasing pop ulation—increasing as we are assured by the political economists at the rate of' a thousand a day . ' Again , the emigrants transported to antipodean regions and savage shores , would be placed under a system which—if not overthrown by reform or revolution '— will at no distant day reproduce in America and Australia the evils and horrors which at present make England a hell . But this pamphlet is , in fact , put out as an advertising puff of one of the numerous _Emigration Societies that are at present engaged in throwing nets for gudgeons .
If our friends will emigrate , let them emigrate to America where at least political freedom exists , aad where they will oot have to support the greedy aristocrats of rank and money , who , not content with robbing England ' s soil from the great mass of England ' s sons , have also laid their unholy claws upon the lands of the colonies . If men will leave England let them go to that Republic which we believe to be destined to bring down the pride and power of the pauper-creating masters of this island —unless , indeed , the English workmen a nticipate the Americans ; in which case emigration will not be needed , unless it be the emigration of idlers and plunderers .
5 . —This pamphlet ; is the report of a lecture on the evils of night work and long hours of _labour , } delivered at the Mechanic ' s Institution , SouthamptonbuildiHgs , Lord Ashley in the chair . The lecturer , Mr W . A . Guy , is Physician to the King ' s College Hospital , & c . His discourse is a masterly exposure of the sufferings of the Journeymen Bakers—sufferings which , when generally known , cannot fail to create that ' public opinion ' which will insist upon
the emancipation of this terribly oppressed class of working men . Were we inclined to be critical , we might find fault with certain notions of the lecturer on the question of Lahour and Capital , which certainly do him no credit ; but we are content to recommend this pamphlet as , on Ihe whole , well calculated to serve the cause of a body of our fellow countrymen for whom we feel sincere sympathy . We shall try to find room , as soon as possible , for a lengthier notice , and fuller consideration of the frightful revelations contained in this pamphlet .

_p- —* This * a very interesting account ofthe bread baking trade from the earliest period to the present time . Afternoticingthestate ofthe art of breadmaking amongst the ancient Egyptians , Greeks , Jews , and Phanicians , and the curious institution of the Bakers' College' in ancient Rome , Mr Read notes the state of the art amongst our ancestors ; and from them descending to King John , gives a sketch of tbe trade from the reign of that monarch to the present
time . The old acts of Parliament fixing the pricf of bread , & e „ quoted from by Mr Read , are exceedingly interesting . One fact is worthy of notice , in the year 1687 the weekly wages of husbandry labour would supply the labourer with twenty-four quartern loaves ; the wages of husbandry labour now would supply the labourer with not half that number of four poundloaves , each of wbich loaves is 5 oz . 8 dr . Jess than the old' quartern !'
A variety of information as to the present state of the bread-baking trade , of considerable interest to the public generally , will be found in this pamphlet ; which reflects great credit on the industry , ability , ynd public spirit of its author .

To The People Of England. • Depend Upon ...
TO THE PEOPLE OF ENGLAND . Depend upon it , the interests of those classes whlob are so often contrasted are the same , ' and it is only _ig & ora & ce that prevent ,, them from uniting for euota others' advantage , To remove that Ignorance , and to show how man can help man , ooght to ba the aim of every _pbllauthropio person . "_ HiB ReTAL Hiobniss PB 1 HCI AlBEBT , —
_Fbilow Countrymen—Where shall we trace the cause or causes of this sad change in England ? It was not always so ! There was a time , I well remember it , when therich and the poor were not enemies . Once the aristocracy were the pride of the people . Englishmen were then famed for loyalty—her prisons were not crowded with political offenders . One constable more than served , in those days , to keep the peace in such a town as Leeds , whose prison door was more frequently thrown wide open than closed upon a prisoner ! Why are our different classes now engaged in angry strife ? Why such denunciation of the aristocracy by the people ? Why this contempt of lawso much disloyalty ?
We are told by Royal lips , and I believe the Royal word , ' the interests of those classes are the same . ' Then , why , I ask , such strife , haired , contempt , envy , and revenge ? There may be many causes for this melancholy change—one , I am sure , may be discovered in that ignorance' deplored by his Royal Highness Prince Albert—ignorance on the part of those statesmen whs have changed the spirit of our laws , under the pretence of reforming our institutions . It would be tedious to name many instances—I will , at present confine myself to one .
The 43 rd of Elizabeth secured to all—no matter of what class—the right of life and liberty—of social and domestic security . Our homes , however humble , were as secure against the rod of the oppressor as the royal palace . The domestic circle of the cottage was then as much protected as the Royal Family—ils matrimonial bed as sawed—its parish church as sure . Tbere was then a cord of sympathy from class to class—the parson , the justice—the ratepayers themselves relieved the poor—not niggardly—they shared with them of the best .
That cord , which bound society together in love and peace , was snapped by 'ignorant' men , who fancied that a total separation from all other classes would be a blessing , a boon , ' to the poor 1—who thought that every other ' class' would be enriched by transferring ' the management of the poor' to stranger hirelings , sitting in the metropolis , thus avoiding the danger of such unpopularity as their oppression might ensure !—who pretended , also , that banishment from the protection of the Constitution , and casting them ' on their own resources , ' would enrich the paupers ! It is not possible , under such a change , the people should remain the same . The friends of the constitution warned the innovators ; their warnings were unheeded , but the sad result has proved them just , .
It was all in vain to contend against those' ignorant' men , self-styled ' philosophers . ' The Word of God , the law of Nature , the books of the Constitution and the Church , the wisest living legal and clerical authorities , were all treated with contempt . The philosophers' were as resolute as ignorant . ' They made the great anarchial experiment—we now reap its bitter fruit . The different ' classes' are severed , because their 'interests' seem to be no longer the same . '
The great officers at the head of the monster establishment have been hurled from power , they have been succeeded by one whose very nature recoils at the stern duties of his office . Still , the inhuman statute is in operation , dividing the ' classes' whose ' interest' should be ' the same , ' separating families , undermining all constitutional law , setting at nought the most sacred injunctions of the Church , and breaking the positive law of God !
The sheet anchor of the internal peace of England was the parochial system—it was the cradle of our loyalty and patriotism ; centralisation has removed that bulwark of the throne which is now defended by bristling bayonets and armies of police . By the New Poor Law the poor have been wickedly persecuted . By reason of the multitude of the oppressions , the oppressed have been made to cry—they cry out by reason of the arm of the mighty . God regards the prayer of the destitute , aud enters into judgment with the ancients of the people , who have eaten of the spoil of the poor . No marvel that we are troubled on every side , no wonder that society is deranged , and that our cleverest statesmen are at their wit's end .
Say what we will , do what we can , English society will never he restored to peace under the operation of centralisation , and the God-despising , man-destroying New Poor Law . Being an Englishman I blush to call that accursed statute—law . Law is inalienably wedded to truth and justice ; whereas that abominable Act was framed in falsehood and passed by fraud . ' Ignorant , ' unjust , and cruel as were its projectors and supporters , they dared not incorporate therein the separation of man and wife . No ; had that
been stated in the Bill , its defeat would have been secured . Instead thereof , Parliament itself was insulted ; a power which the Legislature had no author . ty to delegate was vested in three men ( to be chosen b y the Ministers of the Crown ) to make rules , ' which , being sanctioned by a Secretary of State , should ( so says the Act ) have all the power of Acts of Parliament ! This monstrous encroachment on our liberties and their prerogative absolutely received the sanction of the Legislature ! The late Earl of Eldon assured me the Constitution invested
the Legislature with no such power ! How can loyalty be expected among the people , when the legislators themselves are traitors to the Constitution ? Englishmen acquainted with their constitutional rights cannot yield allegiance to unconstitutional enactments . The three 'men without hearts , ' who were named by the Ministers , had the hardihGod to do that whieh Parliament dared not to attempt . In spite
of the strongest impulses of nature—the most solemn injunctions of the Church , and the positive command of Almighty God—those three persons made a' rule' ( which is now said to have all the authority of an Act of Parliament in this so called Christian country ) , that poor men should be separated from their wives ; that , for the crime of poverty , the homes of the poor should be destroyed ! that , in the ' union house , ' the most sacred ' union ' should be dissolved .
The poor have thus lost their most cherished and sacred rights!—the rich retain them ! Englishmen ! I appeal to your judgment as well as your hearts . Is it possible to have respect for such , enactments ? Is it not natural that , under such 1 laws , ' the poor should be disaffected—that claBS shonld strive against class ? Prince Albert cannot fail to recognise , in the authors and supporters of such a ' law , ' the ' ignorance ' of which his Royal Highness complains .
Why am I led into this train of thought ? I have a reason . I will give it to you . I wish to rivet your attention on that one point in our social—or , rather , anti-social system , the separation of Poor men from their wives , not by the authority of law ( that were impossible ) , but by a' rule' made by three men , sanctioned by a fourth , which is said to have all the force of an Act of Parliament ! I would endeavour to convince you that , under the enforcement of that * rule , ' it is unnatural to expect social
To The People Of England. • Depend Upon ...
peace , because the rule itself is opposed to Nature ' _T ? . on the Constitution , and the Church ! _ . This has been a strange revolutionary year . Kiots , insurrections , rebellions , and revolutions , bave become as household words ! They have occupied the attention of the Legislature , the press , the pulpits , and of politicians of all grades-nay , every domestic circle has rung the changes on such events . There has been one riot in England , scarcely noticed , yet that not was more pregnant withimportant results than any disturbance within my recol ection . Though unnoticed in Parliament , merely recorded in the press , and undebated by politicians , it is recorded in Hetven-observed by Him Who never fails to avenge the wrongs of the poor .
The perusal of the record of that riot forced me to the solemn consideration of England ' s curse——the New Poor Law—induced me to address my countrymen , under the hope that I might convince you of the absolute necessity of obtaining the repeal of that destructive Act . The riot to which 1 allude is recorded inthe Times of June 19 th , 1848 , the last paragraph in page 7 . I insert it for your perusal , before making further observations thereon . It is as follows : —
_DisTOBBincis it NeawioH . — On Friday last , nbou nine o ' olock in ths evening , nine mm inmates ofthe workhouse , who bad been previously sent to prison for _refusing te obey the workhouse rules , tut liberated again , refused t _« go to bed without their wives . The governor of the workhouse immediately sent for the major , whe , with otber magistrates , went to the workhouse . Tbe _psupers , who mode no resistance , were ordered to be conveyed to the gaol , and a body of police took charge of tbem . Tbe mob , nhlch had _auevubled on the outside of tbe workhouse , dino . ly tho paaper « and tha police appeared , attacked tbe Utter by throw .
log stones and bottlts at them , and on tbeir return from the gaol renewed the attack . Several _thousands wero oolleoted together , and some of the police were injured by tbe stones . The major and tbe magistrates gave orders , in consequence , to clear the _etrotB , whiob tbe police effeoted , after Beveral vigorous charges , In whleh some hard blows were dealt . But it was not till nearly oae o ' olock that order was complete !) established , Several of ' the psupers bave been condemned to Imprisonment and hard labour for different terms , and the others discharged on promising to conform to the workhouse roles .
That riot deserves more note than I have space for in this letter . There is a saying attributed to high legal authority , ' Christianity is part and parcel of tbe law of England . ' Now , Jesus Christ taught his disciples after this fashion— ' They ( man and wife ) are no more twain , but one flesh . What , therefore , God hath joined together , let no man put asunder . ' The Church of England , wbich is the Church of Christ , instructs her members thus : — Matrimony was ordained for the mutual society , help and comfort that the one ought to have of the otber , both in prosperity and adversity . To have _nad to hold from tbis day forward , for better tor worse , hr _rlohtt for poorer , In sickness and la healtb _, to love and to cherish , till death us ( man and vflf *) _% do part , according to bod ' s holy ordinance _.
Those whom God hath joined together , let _na men put asunder . I pronounce that the ; be man and wife together . Tbat they may so lire together in this life , that iu the world to come they may bave life everlasting , Let ever ; man have his own wife , and every woman ber own _husbsnd _. Very important thoughts and questions present themselves . At present I conclude . _£ am , fellow-Christians and Churchmen , Yours faithfully , Pulham , Middlesex . Richard Oastler .

JOSEPH VON JELLACHICH , BAN OF CROATIA , A short sketch of the Ban , who has ' acquired so sudden a celebrity , will be read with interest . I have had oooasion ( _saya the writer from whom we borrow this _description ) often to converse with Jeiiachich . lie is a man of the middle height , of a powerful and firmly knit frame , forty-nine years ei age , in his youth of a delicate constitution , but now enjoying excellent health . His head is bald at the top , but encircled with a fringe of jet black hair ; he has a high forehead , bushy eyebrows , a mild clear dark eye , an aquiline nose , a finely chiselled mouth , with au ex _preaaion of great deoi-ion of _character . He leaves the
impression upon the observer of a msn of a mild but determined charaoter , fully confident of his own powers . He haa not one particle of pride about him , and ono would Bcaroely look upon him as the leader of a wild race or a man of high ambition . His voice i ° . soft ; his education 13 entirely German ; he speaks German as if it was his native tongue and with tbe Austrian aocent ; he is a great admirer of the _German language and literature , but his Sclavonic nationality scorns the German arrogance which disdains anything Sclave ; he speaks the Hungarian , _Croatian , and Italian languages equally well ; he is unmarried , does not possess , and does not care for , riches , but is devoted . to his nation . It was only last year that he was oolonel ot a Granze , or frontier regiment , which was annihilated ia an expedition en the Turkish frontier—he himself _esoaping almost miraculously in
a shower of balm . The secret of his iifl _lenca over the Croats is that he is a Croat , and proud to be one , and all hiB _energies are turned towards one objectto prooure for his nation that position in Hungary which thev claim . He speaks the dialect of the people ; 'Itis the language of my beloved mother , ( he said to me one day ) , and I am proud tbat I can speak it . ' Their Ban and their genera ' , he converses with his Croats , and tolls them things _taey had never dreamt of—visions of honour and glory . It is no wonder that when he appears every eye is turned upon him—lhat they listen , open-mouthed , to what he says , and that they are read ; to follow him to Buda , Pesth , Vienna , or Milay ! When they see him they shout their enthusiastic ' Zivio' ( let him live !) and will follow him any where . —( This letter was written on the 20 th of Sept . last . )
