LONDON DEC. 25. TH E Paris papers to Thursday's date inclusive have A been received. They bring us the sentence of the Court of Peers on the prisoners which it had been trying. Sentence of death was passed upon Quenisset, Colombier, and Bazier; imprisonment for life upon Dufanr. Jarrasse, and Pptit; imprisonment for fifteen years upon Vallet and Bo^aio imprisonment for ten years upon Launois and Boucheron detenfio" for five years, and loss of all civil rights upon M. Dupoty, for writing a Journal read by the conspirators. A similar sentence was passed on Bazin and Prioul, Martin, Fougeray, and Consiaere, were acquitted. The sentence against Dupoty, which had been ex pected, formed the general subject of conversion Paris 011 Wednesday. The Conservatives tj,at learn, worked themselves up to fury, ^e? in°gse (0 intimidation alone could reduce the mauvaise Prc^ ^e_ silence whilst the more sage foretold a |at(er tween lie peerage and the press, in which CQN_ might not always be defeated. In fact, aH r;hprai nected with the Liberal press, joined by oteg, deputies and peers, were about to prcpa and petition to the Chamber of ^BJK,n j ,hat .he precedent of Du„o.y'» Peers the whole press at the mercy of the Gourt ot Peers, aud was in itself a monstrosity an an g the other hand, the law-officers had determn ed on bringing before the Court of Peers all the journals which had misrepresented the trial and act of accusa- lion, or which criticised them too severely, fetich a strugole as this must end either in the suppression of all freedom of the press, or the abolition of the worst part of the September laws. The veteran, M. Royer Collard, was amongst those who declared that the raising such a strife at the present moment was likely to be" most pernicious and fatal to the government. M. Guizot and his friends, however, think otherwise. They thought that their weakness in Parliament pro- ceeded from the calm, the indifference of the moment, which allowed the Conservatives to split into fractions, and permitted personal causes of difference to rise up to distract them. By exciting a fierce and passionate quarrel between Conservatives and Liberals on the subject of the September laws, which the former con- sider their palladium, M. Guizot's friends imagine that they will not only rally the numbers and fanaticism of the majority for the address and the principal questions which commence the session, but that this warmth and marked division of all parties will last, so as to have an influence on the elections, and be the means of re- turning to a new chamber an overwhelming number of Conservatives.—Most certainly the condemnation of Dupoty, in defiance of all law and justice, is the greatest blow dealt to the Liberal party since the ordonnances of 1830. It places their lives and liberties completely at the mercy of the Court of Peers. -The opposition journals seem to dread to allude to the condemnation of Dupoty, from fear of being summoned to the French Star Chamber, and fined and imprisoned by the mere will of the President, which the Law of September" authorises.—The editors of these journals were to as- semble on Thursday evening, to consider what course shonld be adopted to protect themselves from a similar fate. The effect of the announcement of the sentence of the prisoners on the Paris Stock Exchange was to produce a rise in the quotations.—The Augsburg Ga- zette and the State Gazette of Berlin both declare that the condemnation of Dupoty, on the pretended charge of complicity, is a monstrous example of ille- gality and injustice. The only other topic which seems to occupy the Paris journals is the reduction of the French Marine. The Debats approves of the re- duction of the navy in time of peace, in order to facili- tate the operations of merchants and ship-owners. The Constitutionnel, on the contrary, contends that the navy ought never to be reduced, as seamen in merchant vessels lose the habit of discipline, and are subse- quently useless for Government ships. The history of every naval war proves the fallacy of this assertion.— The King of the French will open the new Session of the Chambers in person 011 Monday. "It is reported," says the Constitutionnel, that in the last meeting of the Council of Ministers a warm discussion arose on a paragraph in the Speech from the Throne which M. Guizot had proposed. It was a question in this paragraph of giving express approbation to the project of the treaty of commerce with Belgium. M. Humann is said to have opposed himself very energetically to its adoption, and the Conncil was unable to come to any decision at this sitting." The Madrid Gazette contains a circular to the poli- tical chiefs of the different provinces, ordering them to set at liberty all persons who, in consequence of the affair of the 7th September, were arrested by way of precaution, unless there be charges against them which it is intended to bring before the tribunals.—Letters from Madrid mention that the Government had obtained possession of the Bull granted some time since by the Pope of Rome for authorising the solemnization of marriage between Maria Christina, ex-Queen Regent of Spain, and Munoz, her well-known paramour, and legalising it wherever and by whomsoever performed, whether by prelate, parish priest, or friar of the "orders grey," or of any other complexion. This singular document, it is believed there, will be laid before the Cortes at their approaching session, in justification, together with her participation in the O'Donnell insurrection, of theextreme measure adopted provisionally by the Regent Espartero of embargoing the payment of the dower stipulated by settlement on Maria Christina's marriage with the late King.-The Spanish Government, finding that the number of churches within the kingdom is too numerous and un- suited to the condition of the inhabitants, has issued a decree enjoining the Bishops to make such unions of parishes within El their dioceses, as may be consistent with the population and the due administration of divine service. This measure is to be carried into execution in the course oft, two months after the ob- servations on this subject of the provincial deputations and the Ayuntamientos shall have been heard. Of course the Pope will oppose this salutary measure of reform, and thus the breach between Espartero and the Holy See will be widened. Here is a new theme for O'Connell vituperation. The Hibernia, Capt. Wilson, arrived at Liverpool on Thursday last, from New York, after a passage of only twenty-two days and a half. She has brought journals, to the 1st inclusive, from that city, but they contain no intellIgence relative to politics or commercial affairs, later than the news recently received by the Halifax steamer, for which second editions were pre- pared by the New York press, on the evening previous to the departure of the Hibernia.—The Americans, despite of their republican notions, appear to be mightily delighted with Lord Morpeth, who continued to be feasted and toasted with unabated hospitality. He bad been entertained at a grand dinner given by the St. Andrew's Soeiety. on the anniversary of "their patron Saint; and his Lordship delivered an eloquent speech on the occasion, acknowledging the very flatter- ing manner in which he had been received by the citizens of the United States. The above was the third dinner he had attended, on three consecutive evenings.—Captain J. R Crosbie, of the brig Elizabeth ° *T ^rom 'he Nassau, New Providence, sailed the 21st November, reports 'hat the brig Creole of Rich- mon< Virginia, bound to New Orleans, arrived at KSaUj°'' the 9th November, with about 150 slaves on oard, in a mutinous state. They obtained posses- sion of the vessel and demanded that they should be lan e at a British colony. Having disabled the Cap am, and killed some of the crew, they murdered x r. owell, part-owner of the slaves, who was passen- ger on uard, by severing his head from his body, and afterwards throwing his remains overboard. They cotnpe eil another ship-captain, who was on board as passenger, t0 sjeer krjg Nassau, where he made t ea ove report on arrival. Several of the ringleaders were p aced in prison, and the rest of th« slaves suffered a erty- It was reported that the Americans ffa^a'nst their being allowed to land, but rLlnanc i v1' Tlie Creole had sailed again for New 0rle3nS of the crew.

Tuesday's Gazette contains a list of seventy-three, and yesterday's Gazette a list of fifty-four addresses of congratulation to the Queen on the birth of the Prince of Wales. These addresses were presented to her Majesty through the medium of the Home Secre- tary, Sir James Graham, with the exception of one from Tamworth, wTiich was presented personally by Sir R. Peel. We have every reason to believe (says the Morning Herald) that a very serious misunderstanding now exists between the British Government and the United States, arising on the one hand from the unwillingness of the American President to apologise for the detention of a British subject (M'Leod) on an unfounded charge, and on the other, from the alleged fact that vessels engaged in the slave trade are notoriously fitted out in American ports. Lord Aberdeen, as we learn, has written repeated and decided notes on both these sub- jects without as yet receiving satisfactory answers and, considering the fresh obligations imposed on this country by the new anti-slave treaty, it is much to be feared that something unpleasant may occur between both governments. Our information on this subject is derived from a most authentic source." In justification of the recent conduct of the French Peers, their only British apologist, the Post, urges the necessity of restraining, in some way, those French political writers, whose pestilent breath spreads the contagion of treasonable and infamous doctrines throughout the land." Star-Chamber prosecutions of the Press will never correct this evil. It is only to be done by removing the abuses in the Administration, which call forth the violent reprehensions of the press. The institutions of France are wholly unsuited to a free people, and before the press can be made to sug- gest reforms in the mild language common to British journalist, they must be wholly re-modelled. What, for instance, can be more opposed to civil liberty, than the whole passport system? Her Majesty Royal Bounty was distributed on Mon- day and Tuesday last to 900 poor and aged persons, who received five shillings each. The recipients are recommended by persons of known respectability.- The Royal Gate Alms was also distributed to 16S per- sons, who received each thirteen shillings. This an- cient charity was formerly distributed to the poor at the gate of the Royal Palace to the above number of persons, who each received sixpence per week, but the bounty has within the last century been consolidated into two payments of thirteen shillings each, at Christ- mas and Easter. It is the intention of her Majesty the Queen Dow- ager and Court to remain at Sudbury Hall until the week after next, and then, if the state of her Majesty s health is such as to permit of her journey to town, it is very probable that her Majesty will leave for Marl- borough House, and there pass the remainder of the winter. The Queen Dowager's health is not sufficiently re- established at present to allow of her attending divine service at the church, but her Majesty has those sacred duties perfomed before her privately, in addition to the daily prayers so strictly observed in her Majesty s household. It is now positively stated by a daily paper, that "it is the intention of his Majesty the King of Prussia to attend in person at the christening of the infant Prince of Wales, and that a squadron of ships of war will be despatched from this country to convey him and his retinue to England. The vessel which is spe- cially destined for the conveyance of his Majesty is understood to be her Majesty's ship Warspite, 50, Captain Lord John Hay, C.B., and there is no question that this is correct, for she is perfectly ready for sea, and was to have gone out of harbour last Monday, but L haa been detained, and is now being fitted up in such a style as plainly to indicate the nature of the eorvice ¡ for which she is intended. The Government could not have selected a better ship for this purpose, as she is a splendid frigate, carrying 50 guns, with a comple- ment of 500 men. She has very superior accommoda- tions, has plenty of room, and is in every way well adapted for the reception of the illustrious passenger about to embark on board of her. As the Warspite has only some internal decorations aud fittings up to complete, being otherwise perfectly equipped, she will be ready to proceed on her mission in a few days. It is not at present known what vessels will accompany the Warspite, but it is supposed that the Thalia, 42. Captain C. Hope, and the Volage, 26, Captain Sir W. Dicksun, both of which ships are daily expected here, will be appointed to this service." It is rumoured that a serions fracas has taken place between the Premier and the amiable Earl of Cardigan, respecting the Lord Lieutenancy of Northamptonshire, vacant by the Earl of Westmorland's death. The gentle disciplinarian, being a very large landed pro- prietor, we have heard the largest in the county, as- serted his claims to the office; but the wily Premier, though he contrived to invest his opponents with the peculiar credit that flowed from retaining his Lord- ship in a regiment, after his competence for command had been so fully established, was by no means de- sirous of securing for himself the merit of placing him in a position where the mild Nobleman might find a wider field for the exertion of his benignity. The application was accordingly refused, in terms unctuous, but decided and the refusal so ruffled the usually placid character of his Lordship's temper, that Sir Robert Peel was obliged to manoeuvre in order to es- cape the rising storm. But the peculiar art," for which Lord Stanley has given him credit, did not desert the Premier on this occasion. By a dexterous stroke of management the Marquis of Exeter has been transferred from the Lieutenancy of Rutlandshire to that of Northamptonshire, and the Earl of Cardigan having no estates in the former county, Sir Robert has thus escaped from the delic ite dilemma. Whether the good-natured Peer is equally satisfied with the ar- rangement, we leave our readers to infer.—Chronicle. Last week, says the Globe, we mentioned the fact of the plan to be proposed for amending the Corn Laws having been suffered to transpire. Some parties thought proper to throw doubt upon our statement, nevertheless we believe that account to be substan- tially correct; some, slight alterations in the details may be made, but the principle laid nowu by us will be acted upon. We are strengthened in this belief by the remarks made on Friday last by Mr. Christo- pher to his constituents at Lincoln, including amongst them fifty farmers, and which will abundantly repay Whig or Tory for the trouble of reading, as he brings forward much valuable information on the question of the Corn Laws. The plan proposed by him is similar to that reported about a week ago; he proposes a sliding scale of duties, varying from 5s. to 20s. per quarter, fixing the pivot at the average prices frorit 50s. to 65s. We gave the duty 4s. to I8s., dependent upon the average prices of 54s. to 68s. the difference is immaterial. Mr. Christopher referred also to the improvements proposed in the manner of collecting the average returns of prices of grain. On Saturday night last a diabolical attempt was made to set fire to Sutton-in-Ashfield Church, which happily proved unsuccessful. A vestry meeting had been held in the Church the day previous, and during the meeting a pane of glass was removed from one of the windows without being perceived. The Church doors were not again opened until Sunday morning, when the clerk discovered under the seat of an old pew the ashes of a bundle which had consisted of stone brimstone, greasy cloth, tarred rope, and other com- bustible materials. This preparation had been thrown through the broken window, attached to a lighted fuse, and had fallen in a pew buarded with old oak, but the hardness of the wood prevented the intended ignition. On Tuesday afternoon an accident, attended with fatal consequences, occurred on the Manchester and Liverpool Railway. It appears that as a lad named p Peter Taylor, and a comradgj reached a gate opening on to the line, for the purpose of crossing it on their road home, a luggage train from Manchester to Liver- pool was passing on the side of the road on which they were standing. They waited until the last waggon had passed, and then, fearing that the passenger train from Manchester would be upon them, they rushed I across the line, thinking tq avoid the possibility of all accident. The passenger train advanced before they were clear when the other lad sprang across the line, and avoided the threatened destruction but Taylor, who was not more than a yard behind his companion, jumped directly, in front of the engine,land was thrown a distance of thirty six yards, and killed on the spot.- An inquest has been held upon the body and a verdict returned of accidental death, with a nominal deodand on the engine.

SEVENTH EDITION. The following are a lew of the numerous testimoniels this po- pular work has received, and which the limits of an advertise- ment will only allow ol being published The rage for books in all departments of science, literature, and the arts, was, we believe, never so prevalent as at the present time.-The unavoidable consequence of this is, that we meet a vetv considerable proportion of indifferent, useless, and even bad books. With the foice of this prejudice 011 our u.inds, we wilh no little relnelnnce were induced to p-rnse illessrs. Curtis's work, eiititted MANHOOD; nor did it require much perusal fully to satisfy us that the book was not one of the common stamp. The scientific views taken by the anthors of the source and origin of of the most distressing effects of certain depraved habits, fully establish their claim to Ihe character of experienced and judicious surgeons. To quote passages from the work in proof of our assertion would be departing from the established rulesjof the daily press. The result, however, of our careful perusal of the work, has been to impress us with a thorough confidence in the talent and skill of the authors, and to satisfy 118 that those entrusted with the care of youth are not a little indebted to then. lor furnishing them with a means of preventing some of the most frightful maladies to which flesh is heir.—OM England. Messrs. Curtis's work, entitled MANHOOD, is one of the few books now coming before The public oil such a subject which CaD lay claim to the character of being strictly professional, at the same lime that it is fully intelligible to all wbs read it. The moral and medical precepts given in il render it invaluable.—Magnet. The perusal of Messrs. Curtis's book, entitled MANHOOD, has really astonished us by developing a series of maladies, the never-failing cou- sequence of the vicious habit of which it treats. The clear connexion pointed out between The assigned cause and the effects ia perceptible to every capacity. We strongly recommend the work.—Age. The multitude of books daily coming from the press, some, nay, most of them of a very questionable tendency, made us extremely reluctant to-take up another. Having, however, been induced by the character given to this work by an intelligent friend, we ventured to open its pagel, and now reel no hesitation in saying that we arise from its perusal in- strueted and edified. The clear exposition of the source of many of those diseases, which prove so satal to youth, and which are set down by the every.day observer as the result of common causes, such as exposure to cold, sudden vicissitudes of temperature, hereditary taint, etc., is truly convincing and extremely satisfactory. We say 11 satisfactory," in as much as Messrs. Curtis have shown that manv diseases, such as Pulmo. nary Consumption, Epilepsy, etc., hitherto the opprobria of medicine, may, when taken in proper time and submitted to judicious treatment, be brought to as favourable a termination, as any other class of affections, VVe do not think we go too far in saying that society is deeply indebted to the authors for producing so useful, so much wanted, so valuable, and so truly moral a book.—Conservative Journal. We recommend the work, entitled MANHOOD, etc., to the careful perusal of persons of all classes. The moral as well as physical advan- laues sure to result from such perusal, will be most readily recoguised and felt by those who stand must in need of tbem.—Statesman. Messrs.

THE CORDIAL BALM OF SYRIACUM is a gentle stimulant and renovator of the impaired functions of life, and is exclusively directed to the cure of anch complaints as arise from a disorganization of the Generative System, whether constitutional or acquired, loss of sexual power, and debility arising from syphilis; and is calculated to afford decided relief to those who by early indulgence in solitary habits have weakened the powers of their system, and fallen into a state of chronic de- bility, by which the constitution is left in a deplorable state, and that nervous mentality kept up which places the individual in it State of anxiety for the remainder of life. The conaeooencet arising from this dangerous practice are not confined to its pttre physical result, but branch to moral ones leading the excited, deviating mind into a feniie field of seductive error—into a gia. dual and total degradation of manhood—into a pernicioos appli- cation of those inherent rigbti which nature wisely inatitnted for the preservation of her species bringing on premature decripi- tade. and all the habitudes of old age:-such a one carriei with him the form and aspect of other men, bat without the vigour and energy of that season which bis early youth bade him bope to attain. How many men cease to be men, or at least, cease to enjoy manhood at thirty? How many at eighteen receive the im- pression of the seeds of syphilitic disease itself? the consequences of which travel out of the ordinary tract of bodily ailment, cover- ing the frame with disgusting evidences of its ruthless nature, and impregnating the wholesome stream of life with mortal poi- son conveying into families the seeds of disunion and unhappi- nesx undermining domestic harmony; and strickinz at tbe verr soul of human intercourse. The fearfully abused powers of the human Generative Svstem require the most cautious preservation and the debili:y and disease resulting from early indiscretion demand, for the core of those dreadful eviU, that such medicine should be emploved that is most certain to be successful. It is for these cases Messrs. Perry and Co, particularly designed tbeir Cordial BAL3X OF SYRIACUM, which is intended to relieve those persons who, by an immoderate indolgence of their passions, have rained their constitutions, or in tbeir way to the eoasannia- tion ef that deplorable state, are affected with aey of those nreri- ons symptoms that betray its approach, as the various affections of the nervoos svstem, obstinate gleets, excesses, irregalariiv, obstructions of certain evacuations, weaknesses, total iapoleocv, barrenness, &c. As nothing can be better adapted to help aud nourish the con- stitution, so there is nothing more generally ackaowledged te be peculiarly efficacious in all inward wastings, loss of appetite, in- digestion, depression of spirits, trembling or shaking of the hands or limbs, obstinate coughs, shortness of breath, or consamottve. habits. It possesses wonderful efficacy in all cases of syphillis, tits, head-ache, weakness, heaviness, and lowness of spirits. dimness of sight, confused tbooehts, wandering ef the mied, va- pours and melancholy, aud ail kinds of bysterie cemplaiats are gradually removed by its use. And even where the disetise of Sterility appears to have taken the firmest hold of the female con- stitution, the softening tonic qualities of the Cordial Balm of Sy riacum will warm and purify the blood aud juices, increue the animal spirits, invigorate and revive the wbole aitimal machine, and remove the usual impediment to maternity.
