GENTLEMEN ,—I feel that I should be wanting in gratitude
to those Electors who on Thursday recorded their votes in my
favour, and personally exerted themselves to promote my Elec-

In consequence of the success of an unworthy manoeuvre,
which reflects no credit on the parties who oriainated it, I have
ceased to be one of your Representatives in the Town Council.
I cannot, however. retire from my pubPc duties without thank •
ing you for the confidence which, during the six years 1 had the
honour of representing you, you were pleased to place in me. I
shall ever look back upon those six years with pride; for
although I feel conscious of many failures in the performance of
my duties, I can conscientiously say that I have endeavoured to
perform them faithfully.-1 have tile honour to remain, Gentle-

Yesterday, a boy named John Thompson was sentenced by
the police magistrate to be imprisoned three months for steal-
ing two half-crowns from the shop kept by Mary Hill, in
Mildart-street, on Saturday last.
ROBBERY PROM THE PERSON.—Yesterday, Margaret Wil-
liams, or Sheen, who was charged by Ann Mackay with
stealing from her pocket the sum of fourteen shillings on
Saturday last, in Scotland-road, was convicted, and sentenced
to be imprisoned for three months.
ATTEMPTED ROBBERY OF A TILL.—A boy, named Patrick
Keenan, was brought before the Police-court yesterday,
charged with attempting to rob the till of the shop kept by
Ellen Sharp, in London-road, on Saturday. He was detected
in the act of opening the till ; and having been on six previous
occasions convicted of similar offences, he was sentenced to be
imprisoned for three months.
DEATH PROM EXCESSIVE DRINKING.— On Saturday night,
a labourer, named James Earle Probert, who lived in 39 court,
Frederick-street, went home to his lodgings in a state of in-
toxication, his usual condition. He complained of a burning
pain in his throat, and asked for something to drink. Having
obtained this, he went to bed. During the night, be rose, and
still complaining of his throat, had another drink. Towards
morning, he got worse, and on trying to drink some cold
water, was unable to swallow it, and was put to bed, where he
was found dead soon afterwards.

Station, he got in front of some waggons which were being
shifted by horses. Not being quite aware of their proximity
to where he was, Edon was caught by them, and jammed
between them and the one on which his hay was placed. In
the collision he suffered such injuries as to cause the neces-
sity of his removal to the Northern Hospital, where he died
on Sunday.
CHAMBER or COMMERCE.—The monthly meeting of the
Council was held yesterday, Edward Heath, Esq., president,
in the chair. The usual formal business being disposed of,
the committee appointed on the 23rd ult., on the present state
of monetary affairs, was requested to take into consideration
the operation of the Bank Charter Act of 1844, and to report
to the Council. It was ordered that a copy of the report of
the deputation to the Paris Exhibition, on the samples of
cotton and other raw produce there exhibited, be sent to the
Board of Trade. Among the communications were letters
from the Foreign-office, in reply to the memorial on the sub-
ject of the loan to the Monte Videan Government of 1845,—
referred to the Special Committee ; also one from the Board of
Trade, in answer to the suggestion that a floating light-house
should be placed at the entrance of St. George's Channel, to
indicate the fair way, and stating the reasons for declining to
comply therewith.
LIVERPOOL POLYTECHNIC SOCIETY.—A meeting of this
society was !held last night, at the Royal Institution ; John
Grantham, Esq., in the chair. It was announced that the
prize of £2O, offered by Mr. Mondel, for the best model of a
merchant ship, had been awarded to Mr. Claughton, of South-
hampton. The model was exhibited, as well as several of the
competing ones, and excited much interest. A paper by Mr.
Miller was read, descriptive of a new pyrometer of his inven-
tion. It was followed by some discussion, in the course of
which the chairman described a pyrometer which he had
seen in operation, and which had this advantage over Mr.
Miller's that it was continuous in its application. The next
paper was one by Mr. Jones, descriptive of Callen and Ripley's
patent multiplying rotative motion, which was illustrated by
a well-executed model. The great advantage gained was by
the reduced friction, and it was said to be peculiarly applicable
to the screws of large steamers, not only economising space,
but gaining speed. It was intended to exhibit a model of
Clelland's stone boring machine, but in the absence of the
president, who was to explain it, the exhibition was postponed.
SPLENDID WATER-COLOUR PORTRAITS.—We have been
much gratified by a private view of a splendid collection of
water-colour portraits, in the studio of Mrs. Musgrave,
in Oxford-street East. This lady is on a brief visit to
Liverpool, from London and Edinburgh, in both of which
capitals she practices as a water-colour portrait painter.
Among the limited collection she has brought with her, there
are admirable specimens of her talent as an artist. The style
of her portraits is bold and vigorous, yet they are manipulated
with all the delicacy of the most minute and elaborately-
finished miniatures. Of those which we examined, it would be
difficult to say which most deserves admiration; but we were
agreeably struck with the stately beauty of a full-length por-
trait of Miss Grant ; in this the white satin costume is charm-
ingly executed, its lustre and richness being rendered
with
the most deceptive fidelity. The general air of this picture is
refined and graceful. A similar expression is fully warranted
in reference to those of the Hon. Mrs. Rashleigh, and Fanny
Lady Blantyre ; but it 'would be less easy to convey an idea
of the delicacy of handling and full rich beauty of colouring
displayed in the portraits of the
Hon. Mrs. Fitzroy Somerset,
and Lady Morgan. Mrs. MusgraCe has also some admirable
male pictures, and portraits of children.

PROVISIONS.
LIVERPOOL, Nov. 2.—There is a slightly timer feeling
towards beef, and, though the sales for the week scarely reach the
average extent, there is a growing opinion that the stock now on
hand will be all required before new arrives freely. For pork
there is fair inquiry, and advanced prices are made for ail
qualities. Unusual anxiety is felt as to the result of the govern-
ment contract to be taken on the 12th instant. Irish and
cured bacon bacon are a shade lower, and the supplies increase. The
early shipments of American will, however, meet a ready sale.
At about last week's prices there is a moderate demand for lard.
The market for cheese is rather inanimate, but more activity is
looked for shortly.
Nov. s.—There was a fair average business transacted in butter
last week, and owing to the small stock, moderate imports, and
the still' prices paying currently in all the Irish markets, a alight
advance was obtained (in retail) for choice qualities, and good
useful sorts commanded very full rates. Waterford and Dun-
dtarvan, 1011 to 1068; Kilkenny, Carrick, Wexford, Clonmel, and
Carlow, 102 s to 101 a; Limerick, 95s to 995; and Sligo, 95s to 1008
per cwt. landed. Imported from Ireland from the 27th ult. to
the 2nd instant, 10,598 firkins, 18 kegs, 365 crocks, 367 boxes,
and 102 barrels butter, 107 bales bacon, 3 tierces and 4 hhds. hams,
1 tierce and 10 kegs lard.

to his mind, and he involuntarily clenched his
fist.
When Michael came out of the garden, he
found Conrad and the parson already engaged in
eager conversation. The latter, who seemed to
have given up expecting him, rose and begged
him to take a chair ; but Michael, pointing to his
brother, answered, " With all respect to your
Reverence, I cannot sit down in the same room
with that man. Your Reverence has not been
long in the village, and you know not what a
sackful of lies he is—a sneaking, hypocritical fel-
low." Then, trembling with rage, he continued,
" That man is the cause of all my misfortunes ;
he banished peace from our house, and drove me
to take to horse-dealing, and bad ways. Ah !" he
exclaimed, darting a fierce look at Conrad, " you
prophesied—yes, you—that I should hang myself
in a halter ; but, mark me, your turn will come
first !"
The parson allowed them to vent their rage,
only interposing. his authority to check any per-
sonal violence. He felt sure that, when their
long-fostered and secret anger was exhausted,
some remains of brotherly love would still be
found, and brought to light ; but he was in part
disappointed.
At length both brothers sat down, speechless,
and breathing hard. The parson then, addressed
them, at first in a gentle tone, disclosing all the
hidden recesses of the heart ; but it was in vain—
they both cast their eyes down upon the floor.
He then pictured to them the anguish of their
parents in the next world. Conrad sighed, but
did not raise his eyes. Then the parson sum-
moned all his power, and with a voice like that
of a denouncing prophet, he reminded them how,
after death, they would have to appear before the
judgment-seat, and there answer fearfully for the
sin of brotherly hate. He ended ; and there was
a silence. Conrad wiped the tears from his eyes
with his sleeve ; then he rose from his chair, and
said, " Michael !"
Michael had not heard that sound for so many
years, that he started, and looked up. Conrad
stepped nearer, and said, " Michael, forgive me !"
The hands of the brothers were in a moment fast
locked in one another ; and the parson laid his
hand upon them to bless the act.
When Michael and Conrad were seen coming
down the little hill by the court-house, hand-in-
hand, every eye was upon them—not a man but
felt a secret joy at his heart. As soon as they
reached home, the first thing they did on enter-
ing the house was to wrench off every padlock
and fastening ; and having done so, they went
into the garden, and levelled the hedge with the
ground ; no matter what cabbages were destroyed,
all token of their former discord had instantly to
be removed. Then they went to their sister's
house, and they all ate together at the same table.
In the afternoon, the two brothers sat in the
church side by side, and each held a corner of
their mother's hymn-book in his hand.
From that time forwards their lives were spent
happily, in unity of spirit, and in the bonds of
peace.

VAUXHALL WARD.
Mr. John Moss, the retiring member, has gone to reside in
the Isle of Man, and the burgesses had to select a gentleman
in his place. Mr. Thomas Chalmer, surgeon, who formerly
represented the ward, and has also sat for Everton, was the
first candidate in the field. Mr. Roger Haydock, lime-burner,
&c., was subsequently nominated, and the contest lay between
these gentlemen. When the poll closed, the numbers were—
for Mr. Haydock, 145 ; for Mr. Chalmer, 138.
ST. PAUL'S WARD.
The Radicals in this ward made a desperate attempt to oust
Mr. Godfrey, bringing forward Mr. J. B. Spence, to oppose
him. The contest was very close throughout the whole of the
day, but at four o'clock Mr. Godfrey was announced to have a
majority of 43.
CASTLE-STREET WARD.
This ward, which has always been considered " safe" by the
Radicals, has been most unexpectedly wrested from them this
year, the election having ousted Mr. Avison, the retiring mem-
ber, and chosen Mr. J. G. Livingston, a Conservative. From
-the commencement of the voting, Mr. Livingston had a ma-
jority ; but, increasing from hour to hour, till the numbers at
the poll stood, for Mr. Livingston, 298; for Mr. Avison, 252 ;
leaving the former a clear majority of 46 votes.
Shortly after four o'clock, Mr. G. W. Moss, chairman of Mr.
Livingston's committee, announced, from a window of the
committee-room, at the Tiger Inn, Dale-street, the state of the
poll at the close to be 298 for Mr. Livingston, and 252 for Mr.
Avison.—Mr. Livingston then came forward, and said : I am
told, gentlemen, that on these occasions it is not expected that
the candidate should make any formal declaration of his prin-
ciples, or, in fact, that he should do more than thank those of
his brother electors who have worked so earnestly and with
such zeal to place him in such a tremendous majority, I may
say, for this ward—( hear, hear)—because I am told—and
there are men in this room who are older than I am, who can
correct me if I am wrong—but I believe that since the passing
of the Municipal Bill, in 1835, this ward has never been repre-
sented except by men of extreme Radical principles. ( Hear.)
Some weeks ago, when I was about to leave town, I did make
some endeavour to wrest this ward from the hands of the Ra-
dicals—( hear, hear)—and I then said to a gentleman, who is
now present, "It is not my wish to go into the Town Council ;
but I think every man should play his part when called upon,
and, if you cannot find a candidate, my services are at your
disposal. ' ( Hear, bear.) Gentlemen, I will not detain you
longer, but I must individually thank those of my canvassers
who have worked so very hard, and who have placed me under
such very great obligations to them. I hope, when I take my
seat in the council chamber, you will find that I am not un-
worthy of your support. I beg again to thank you most sin-
cerely for .your kindness. ( Cheers.)

made the sign of hanging under his chin. At
this there was a shout of laughter that might be
heard through the whole village. But, when the
boy asked for the nuts, it turned out that the
man who had promised theni had none ; and a
fresh shout arose as the bOy ran up to the cheat
and gave him a kick. Meanwhile the new parson
had come down the little hill by the court-house,
and stood watching all that passed ; but, just as
the boy Peter was going to be beaten for his de-
mand of the nuts, the parson stepped quickly up
and snatched the boy away. Instantly all the
peasants drew back, and took off their caps. The
parson now beckoned to the sexton, who happened
to be standing by, to accompany him through the
village, and learnt from him the whole story about
the enmity of the brothers, and all that we have
related above. The following Saturday, as Con-
rad was breaking stones in the village, he re-
ceived an invitation to call upon the parson the
next morning after service. He stared at the
sexton, his pipe went out, and for a minute the
stone remained unbroken under his wooden-soled
shoe. He could not conceive what was to happen
at the parsonage, and would gladly have gone
that very instant. The invitation was brought to
Michael just as he was " polishing the Sunday
boots" of an old horse, for so he called cleaning
the hoofs. He was whistling a snatch of a song,
but stopped short in the middle, knowing full
well the lecture that was in store for him, and
glad to have time to prepare a saucy reply, scraps
of which he muttered to himself.
On Sunday morning the parson preached a
sermon from a verse of the 133rd psalm : " Be-
hold, how good and pleasant it is for brethren
to dwell together in unity." He pointed out how
all earthly happiness and fortune are as nothing,
unless shared and enjoyed with those who have
rested with us on the same mother's breast. He
showed how those parents can never be happy in
this world, nor blest in the next, whose children
are estranged from one another by envy, hatred,
or malice; he quoted the example of Cain and
Abel, and showed how brotherly hate was the
first cause of sin. All this, and much more, the
parson spoke with a clear and thundering voice,
till the people said, one to another, " He'll bring
the walls about our ears !" But, alas ! it is often
easier to move stone walls than the hardened
hearts of men. Barbara wept bitterly as she
thought of the conduct of her brothers ; and,
although the parson addressed his remarks to his
auditors at large, and urged every one to lay his
hand upon his heart, and ask himself whether he
had a true affection for his kindred, nevertheless
every one present felt sure that he referred to
Michael and Conrad.
The two brothers were standing not far from
one another ; Michael bit his cap, -which he held
between his teeth, but Conrad stood listening,
with open mouth ; and once, when their eyes
met, the cap fell from Michael's hand, and he
stooped down quickly to pick it up.
The psalm tune ended with a soft and peace-
ful close ; but, before the last sounds died away,
Michael had left the church, and was standing at
the parsonage door. It was still locked, so he
went into the garden, and stood for a time be-
side the bee-hives, watching the busy activity of
the little creatures. " They know not what
Sunday is !" thought he to himself ; " and I, too,
have no Sunday in my way of living, for I have
no regular day of work." Then, again, he
thought, " How many hundred brothers and
sisters live together in such a hive, and all work
like their parents !" But he did not give way to
these thoughts long, and resolved not to let the
parson lecture him. As he turned toward the
church-yard, the last words of Conrad recurred

GREAT GEORGE WARD.
The candidates in this ward were Mr. John Lawrence and
Mr. John Rogers. There was considerable excitement in the
ward during the day. In the first hour, Mr. Lawrence took
the lead, and continued at the head of the poll until its close.
At twelve o'clock the numbers were—For Mr. Lawrence, 152;
Mr. Rogers, 116. At half-past one o'clock—Mr. Lawrence,
186 ; Mr. Rogers, 144. After that hour the numbers on be-
half of Mr. Lawrence gradually increased, and at three o'clock
the candidates stood as follows Lawrence, 215 ; Mr.
Rogers, 156. At the close of the poll the numbers stood—For
Mr. Lawrence, 232 ; Mr. Rogers, 159 ; giving a majority to
the former gentleman of 73 votes. Upon the exact state of
the poll being declared, the friends of the successful candidate
cheered most lustily, and then marched in procession, headed
by a band of music, to their committee-room, at the White Lion
public house, where some of Mr. Lawrence's committee ad-
dressed the electors at great length.
WEST DERBY WARD.
Mr. Arthur Henderson, the retiring member, was opposed
by Mr. John Aikin, and at the close of the poll, after a keen
canted, the numbers stood—for Mr. Henderson 284, for Mr.
Aikin 331
NORTH AND SOUTH TOXTBTH WARDS.
These wards were most hotly contested. Throughout the
day there was the utmost party violence displayed, each party
exerting their utzrost to get his favourite candidate returned.
In the North Toxbeth Ward the retiring candidate was
Mr. Hilton Halhead, and at a meeting of the ratepayers it
was decided that Mr. Thomas Evans should be selected to
oppose him, he beiug, as it was alleged, the nominee of the

In the South Toxteth Ward Mr. Horsfall was the retiring
councillor. He declined to come forward again, and Mr.
Farnworth was, by a requisition, requested to take his place.
In opposition to him, however,.st a meeting of the ratepayers,
it was proposed that Mr. M`Gregor should be elected, and the
greatest exertions were used to secure his return, but at the
close of the poll it was found that he was in a minority, as will
be seen by the statement published each hour—

Farnworth 77 113 158 200 237 267
M`Gregor 23 38 62 73 77 82
Up to the time of closing the poll the utmost excitement
prevailed in the two wards.
When the pool was closed, the successful candidates ad-
journed to the Royal Oak, the central committee for the two
wards, accompanied by a band of music and a large body of
electors. The chairman, Mr. Robinson, expressed the great
pLeasure he felt in having to communicate to them that they
(the Conservatives) had gained .a glorious victory, and stated
that it was a proof that the unanimity of feeling shown this
day was the feeling of the wards, for they found that the
persons selected to represent them by what was called the
dictating party were returned by the same nambers —indeed,
it might be said to be a neck-and-neck encounter between the
two wards. In the north ward they found that Mr. Halhead
had, at the close of the poll, 313 votes, and Mr. Evans 129,
being a majority of 181. In the south ward Mr. Farnworth
had polled 267, and Mr. M'Oregor .83, also being a majority of
184. That was a peculiar instance, and showed that the feel-
ing of the two wards was in unanimity with the successful
candidates. Three cheers were then given for Mr. Halhead,
who tame forward and stated that as the ratepayers had re-
elected him, after three years' servitude, he should pursue the
same course he had hitherto done, which was to benefit the
interests of the ratepayers of the town.
Mr. Farnworth, the newly-elected member for the southern
district, also stated that he would do his utmost to follow in
the footsteps of Mr. Halhead, who had served them for so many
Tears. ‘(Cheers.) A vote of thanks was then passed to the
.chairman, and the proceedings terminated.

CHESHIRE AND WALES.
THERE has just been landed, at the Birkenhead Docks, a
log of mahogany weighing 6 tons 18 cwt. This large log was
brought in the ship Agenoria, Capt. Jackson, and is now to be
seen in the Honduras Sheds, Birkenhead. •'
THE treasurer of the Tranmere Free Evening School has
received 10s. from William Waring Perrey, Esq., awarded to
him by the Revising Barrister, for attending at Birkenhead,
to oppose a frivolous and vexatious objection to his vote for
Smith Cheshire.
On Sunday evening, James Farrell, six years of age, who
lived with his mother in Oak-street, Birkenhead, was left in a
room for a short time by himself, and whilst amusing himself
by playing with some lighted paper his clothes caught fire,
and he was burnt so severely that he died next morning.
MR. J. B. SWEENEY, assistant-overseer of Birkenhead, has
been appointed by the Poor-law Guardians of Birmingham to
the situation of assistant-overseer of that town, at a salary of
£125 per annum. Mr. Sweeney was the successful candidate
out of a large number of applicants.
ACCIDENT.—On Tuesday, as the train of the Birkenhead,
Lancashire, and Cheshire Junction Railway Company, which
leaves the Landing-stage at six p,m., emerged from the Bir-
kenhead tunnel, and was just quickening speed, the guard van
behind, together with a second-class carriage, were thrown
violently off the line, at the place of the " points." The train
was stopped with promptness, or the consequences might have
been serious, as there was a steep embankment close by.
CAUTION TO SEAMEN.—At the Birkenhead Police-court, on
Thursday, two Dutch seamen, named Caspar Johanus Baring
and Henrick Fanodaker, were charged with deserting from the
ship Sarah Neumann, lying in the Birkenhead docks. The
prisoners shipped about three weeks ago on board the above
vessel, which was bound for Calcutta. After being at sea a
short time, she had to return to port, owing to an injury to
her steering apparatus. On Tuesday they deserted from the
vessel, and shipped on the same day on board the ship Kings-
ton, from which vessel, after receiving advance notes, they ab-
sconded. They were sent to gaol for three months, with hard
labour.
COAL ROBBERIES.—At the Birkenhead Police-court, on
Thursday, several Irish boys and girls were charged with
stealing coals from the waggons on the dock quays. One wit-
ness stated that not less than three or four tons of coal were
stolen by the prowlers who frequent the docks ; whilst another
witness gave it as his opinion that the quantity could not be
less than thirty tons a day. The principal part of the coals
were said to belong to Messes. W. and H. Laird. Sir Edward
Cust said it would pay the coal proprietors well if they kept
men to protect their property. The Rev. R. M. Fielden re-
marked that if coals to the extent of thirty tons a day were
stolen, half the people of Birkenhead must be enga,gad in
plundering. The prisoners were summarily disposed of.
ILLEGAL WEIGHTS AND MEAstrnEs.--;-The following per-
sons were summoned at the instance of Mr. Joseph Griffith,
inspector, for having in their possession illegal weights and
measures :—Joseph Carlisle, Claughton, for using a piece of
brick instead of a weight, and two deficient weights, was
fined 3s. 6d. and costs ; James Baxter, baker and provision
dealer, Tranmere, for having two short weights, fined 7s. 6d.
and costs ; Abraham Mallinson, grocer, Neston, was sum-
moned for keeping a public weighing machine 561bs. against
the purchaser, and fined ss. and costs ; Samuel Morris, grocer
and provision dealer, Tranmere, was fined 4s. 6d. and costs
for having two deficient weights ; Peter Lloyd, grocer, Mar-
ket-cross, Birkenhead, for having two pair of fraudulent scales,
was fined 30s. and costs.
BIRKENHEAD CHURCH MISSIONARY SOCIETY.—On Thee-
day, the annual meeting of this society was held in the Ar-
gyle-rooms, the Rev. A. Knox, of St. Mary's, in the chair.
The chairman stated that their auxiliary had existed for
twenty-eight years, and that last year their subscriptions
amounted to £244 ls. 9d. He then introduced the Rev.
Mr. Taylor, who had been seventeen years a missionary in
New Zealand, and who gave a short history of missionary
proceedings in that country, since its discovery by Captain
Cooke. Mr. Taylor was accompanied by John Williams, a
converted New Zealand chief, who also addressed the meeting,
Mr. Taylor translating his words. The reverend chairman
solicited donations towards the restoration of Mr. Taylor's
church, which had been thrown down by the recent earth-
quake. £l5O was required for that purpose. The Rev. Henry
Carpenter subsequently addressed the meeting.
CURIOUS WELSH CUSTOM.—The registrar of the Br to
District Court of Bankruptcy (Mr. Charles Orme) has this
week been sitting at New Quay, Cardiganshire, taking the
examination of several witnesses in the matter of the bank-
ruptcy of Thomas Davies, shipbuilder, of that port. Most of
the witnesses were Welsh people, and the subject of the
inquiry being the extent of the bankrupt's interest in a cer-
tein vessel, some surprise was created by the witnesses speak-
ing of their shares in the vessel as a matter of weight. The
mystery was solved by the interpreter in this way : —A vessel
being about to be built is divided into 64 shares, the total
being taken by the owners to represent a pound avoirdupois.
Thus, the owner of four firths is said to have an ounce ; two
64ths, half an ounce ; one 64th, a quarter of an ounce ; and so
in proportion.
entrno.ll RODBERY.—A clippie, named Thomas Chambers,
was charged at the Birkenhead Police-court, on Thursday,
with breaking into the.old abbey chapel attached to St. Mary's
Church, and stealing an inkstand and several books. On
Wednesday morning, at four o'clock, the prisoner was stopped
by police-officer 12, in Maryland-street, and four books, one
having the name of the Rev. A. Knox written on it, was found
in his possession. Subsequently, detective officer Thompson
went to the house of a woman in Bevington-bush, where he
found an inkstand which had been purchased from the pri-
soner. The keeper of the old abbey chapel of Birkenhead
stated that the building had been entered on Monday night,
an entrance having been efiheted by a window which had been
broken. The prisoner was remanded for a week.
• THE RocK FERRY Sur.—John Twaite, collector at the
Rock Ferry slip, was sommoneil at the instance of James
Hanson, a boatman, for wilfully and maliciously damaging his
boat. The complainant was summoned on the previous
Thursday, by Messrs. Hetherington, for trespassing on the
slip, but was then acquitted. On Monday, two gentlemen
wanted to go on board the American steamer Pacific. The
complainant's boat was lying at a short distance from the
pier, and the gentlemen hailed it for the purpose of being put
on board the steamer. Hanson accordingly went close to the
slip, but did not touch it with his boat. the defendant then
go r a boat-hook and ran it into the sides and sails of the com-
plmant's boat, doing damage to the amount of 255. Mr.
Gill, for the defence, urged that the slip was prix te property.
n
ad that the complainant had receive notice not to come near
it with his boat. He then called evidence to show that no
more violence was used than was necessary to prevent the
complainant taking on board his boat the gentlemen who
wanted to go to the Pacific. The bench said they could not
decide as to the private right of the lessees of the ferry, and
therefore they could not say whether the damage was or was
not wilfully committed. The summons was dismissed.
WALLASEY BOARD or HEALTH.—At the meeting of this
board, on Thursday, Mr. Newlands, borough engineer of Li-
verpool, reported that it was necessary that the work com-
prised in contract No. 1, extending from Victoria-road, Sea-
combe, to No. 9, Beaufort-terrace, should be completed
according to the sections and as described in the specification.
It was recommended that Mr. Bugbird s tender for the con-
struction of such work for £797 103. be accepted, subject to
a deduction of £9O for old materials, and to give security in
£5OO for the performance of the work. It was ordered that
the names of the various streets in the township be painted
on a conspicuous part of each street, as recognised on the plan
of the district. Mr. Mann, after a few remarks, proposed the
following resolution :—" It appearing to the board highly de-
sirable and advantageous that the IVallasey Free School
shinild be removed to another site, the board agrees to the
application of the trustees of the school for permission to
erect a new school, according to a design and plans now sub-
mitted and approved, on land, part of Wallasey-breck, under
the jurisdiction of the board, consisting of 740 yards or there-
abouts. in exchange for the laud constituting the site of the
present school and appurtenant thereto, which is henceforth
to become and be the property of the board for the same pur-
poses as the land now agreed to be granted was previously
applicable." The resolution was agreed to. The salary of
Mr. Kerr, collector of the rates, was increased £2O per annum.
IRELAND
ANOTHER IRISH COMMISSION.—It is said that Lord Monck,
M.P. for Portsmouth, one of the Lords of the Treasury, and
Mr. W. H. Stephenson, also of the Treasury, and formerly
Deputy Paymaster-General, together with Mr. Seaton, as
secretary. have been appointed a commission to inquire into all
matters connected with the state of public education in Ireland.
ANOTHER MURDER.—WhiIst Mr. Ramsbottom and M.
Beacham were taking possession of land in the King's• Count;,
three miles from Ballinasloe, Mr. Beacham was shot through
the neck with a bullet, and several slugs lodged in his face
and breast. It was doubtful whether he would live through
Friday night. Mr. Ramsbottom is an agent, and Mr, Beacham
is an assistant. The shot was intended for the former, but the
latter was next to the two men who fired.
A ROCKITE NOTICE was posted last week in Carlow, respect-
ing a highly respectable firm in that town, who had purchased
potatoes on commission for a Liverpool house in the usual way
of mercantile business. The notice commences—" Men of
Carlow, blood must be shed ;" and concludes—" It would be
justice in the sight of God and man to shoot a rascal that
would trade in the blood of the poor."
A COMMISSION OF INQUIRY has been sitting for some
days at Navan to try whether the late John Wilson, of Rusk,
in the county of Meath, has left any legitimate heirs ; the ques-
tion involving the escheating to the Crown in default of heirs,
of a considerable portion of a property amounting to £lOO,OOO
in the funds and other securities, and about £6,000 a year in
landed estates. The inquiry has not yet been concluded.
All the leading Irish counsel are engaged in the case.
IN A. PROSECUTION for assaulting Mr. Wallace, a Wesleyan
minister, while preaching in the open air at Kingstown, the
following definition of the law was given by both the learned
judges presiding, Chief Justice Monaghan, a Romanist, and
Baron Richards, namely, that a minister of any persuasion had
a clear right to preach in the public street as long as he did
not violate the public peace, just as a peison would have a
right to deliver a lecture upon any ordinary subject in a •
public place, and no one would be justified in disturbing or
molesting him.
CAPTURE OF A RUSSIAN PRIZE.—The Cork Examilier has !I
the following statement :—" Considerable interest was excited
in Queenstown on Saturday by the intelligence that a Russian
vessel had been made a prize of by the revenue cutter Eliza,
of Kinsale, Mr. O'Malley commander. The vessel, which bears
the name Maria, of Antwerp, is a schooner of 122 tons register,
and has on board a cargo of hides and horns from Rio Grande.
She arrived off the lighthouse at six o'clock on Saturday morn-
ing, and not being able to get in owing to a strong north-east
wind, she dropped her anchor, when she was boarded by the
captain of the cutter, who required the ship's papers, declared
the vessel a prize, hauled down the Belgian flag which was
flying at the peak, and substituted the English, and placed
four armed men of the revenue service in charge. It appears
that intelligence was received by the Admiralty about a fort-
night since from the British Admiral, Rio Grande, of such a
character as to induce them to give orders for the seizing of
this vessel, and the Eliza had been cruising in search of her for
six or eight days before the capture was made. Some doubts,
however, appear to be now entertained as to whether the vessel
can be considered a lawful prize. There is, we believe, no
doubt that she is a Russian-built vessel, but it is stated that
eighteen months ago she was transferred to a Belgian house,
and since she certainly has been sailing under a Belgian cap-
tain, and manned by a crew the majority of whom are also
from that nation. It was stated, too, that she was seized on a
former occasion in one of the northern ports of England, and left
free again. One fact which seems to have some significance is
that the British flag, which was flying at her peak on Satur-
day, was replaced yesterday by the Belgian—that under which
she was captured. On Saturday evening the captain of the
schooner, who had been made a prisoner of war, was to be seen
walking about Queenstown. attended closely by two men of
the revenue service."

THE ECONOMY OF THE ANIMAL WORLD.
Here we see no rash matrimonial engagements ; no pen-
niless lovers, selfishly and indissolubly linked together to
propagate large families of. starving children. All the
arrangements of the insect tribe, though prompted by sheer
instinct, are conducted with a degree of rationality that in
some cases raises the mere instinct of the creeping thing
above the assumed " reason " of man.
The bird builds her nest, and carefully irovides for the
comfort of her young long ere she la} s her fragile egg.
What can be more curious-than the nest of the " tailor
bird ?"—a selection of tough leaves neatly sewn one over
the other to form a waterproof exterior to the comfortable
little dwelling within. Where does the needle and thread
come from ? The first is the delicate bill of the bird itself,
and the latter is the strong fibre of the bark of a tree, with
which the bird sews every leaf, lapping one over the other,
in the same manner that slates are laid upon a roof.
Nevertheless this is simple instinct ; the tailor bird in
the days of Adam constructed her nest in a similar
manner, which will be continued without improvement till
the end of time.
The grossbeak almost rivals the tailor bird in the beau-
tiful formation of its nest. These birds build; in company,
twenty or .thirty nests being common upon one tree. Their
apparent intention in the peculiar construction of their
nests is 'to avoid the. attacks of snakes and lizards.
These nests are about two feet long, composed of beau-
tifully woven grass, shaped like an eiongated pear.
They are attached like fruit to the extreme end of a
stalk or branch, from which they wave to and fro in the
wind, as though hung out to dry. The, bird enters at a
funnel-like aperture at the bottom, and by this arrange-
ment the young are effectually protected from' reptiles.
The wonders of animal instinct receive many
other striking illustrations in Mr. Baker's deeply
interesting and instructive volume. The theme
is a temptinc, one to a man of intellect and ob-
servation, and it has been pursued in various and
instructing forms ever since the period when, under
the influence of Divine inspiration, man was in-
structed to " view the ant's labours and be wise,"
down to the present time. Amongst the wonders
narrated by travellers, few are in themselves more
really wonderful, or more pleasingly instructive
than those singular and delightful combinations
of instructive sagacity and assiduous training by
which the reasoning faculty of man is so applied
as to mould and expand the instinct of animals,
and to link with these their physical powers and
peculiarities, so forming the combination into
willing and "powerful instruments for aiding or
abridging human toil. Such indications of
adaptive harmony are delightful in contempla-
tion, and afford improving subjects for reflection.
The elephant, an animal common in Ceylon,
affords Mr. Baker frequent opportunities for
bringing the combination referred to under ob-
servation ; and this he does with the effectiveness
and good taste peculiar to a man of sound judg-
menir and extensive experience. The following
admirable illustration of this docile versatility is
excellent. It may be called. 7
THE ELEPHANT AS AN AGRICULTURAL ASSISTANT.
It was an interesting sight to see the rough plain yield-
ing to the power of agricultural implements, especially as
some of those implements were drawn by animals not
generally seen in plough harness at home.
The " cultivator," which was sufficiently large to
anchor any twenty of the small native bullocks, looked a -
mere nothing behind the splendid elephant who worked it,
and it cut through the wiry roots of the rank turf as a
knife peels au apple. It was amusing to see.this same
elephant doing the work of three separate teams when the -
seed was in the ground. She first drew a pair of heavy-
'harrows ; attached to these and following behind were a
pair of light harrows ; and behind these came a roller.
Thus the land had its first and second harrowing and
rolling at the same time.
This elephant was particularly sagacious ; and her
farming work being completed, she was employed in
making a dam across a stream. She was a very large"
animal, and it was beautiful to witness her wonderful.'
sagacity in carrying and arranging the heavy timber-
required. The rough trunks of trees from the lately felled
forest were lying within fifty yards of the spot, and the
trunks required fur the dam were about fifteen feet long
and fourteen to eighteen inches in diameter. These she
carried in her mouth, shifting her hold along the log
before she raised it until she had obtained the exact
balance; then, steadying it with her trunk, she carried
every log to the spot, and laid them across the stream in
parallel rows. These sjie herself arranged, under the
direction of her driver, with the reason apparently of a
human being.
The most extraordinary part of her performance was
the arranging of two immense logs of red keenar (one of
the heaviest woods). These were about eighteen feet long
and two feet in diameter, and they were intended to lie on
either bank of. the stream parallel to the brook and close
to the edge. These she placed with the greatest care in
their exact positions, unassisted by any one. She rolled
them gently over with her head, then with one foot, anti
keeping her trunk on the opposite aide of the log, she
checked its way whenever its own momentum would
have carried it into the stream. Although I thought the
work admirably cone, she did not seem quite satisfied, and
she presently got into the stream, and gave one end of
the log an extra pUsh with her head, which completed
her task, the two trees lying exactly parallel to each
other, close to the edge of either hank.
Tame elephants are constantly employed in building
stone bridges when the stones required for the abutments
are too heavy to be managed by crowbars.
The author of the book under consideration
was too faithful an observer of what was passing
around him to allow his attention to be wholly
absorbed by the operations of the lower classes of
animals. He looked at the objects which pre-
sented themselves to him on every hand, and
scanned their merits, or the contrary, with a
" learned spirit of human dealing." He sees in
the Government arrangements of the island many
things detrimental to its best interests ; his
native good sense leads him to see
How small, of all that human hearts endure,
That part which laws or Kings can cause or cure !
This leads him to reflect on the fact that many
of the difficulties which form such fertile and
stimulating themes for popular declamation,
arise from the character of the settlers themselves ;

THE HYDE-PARK DISTURBANCES.
AT Marlborough-street, to-day; a young man was charged
with assaulting a gentleman's groom, and the police.
Mr. Hardwick said it was not to be tolerated for a single
moment, for such ruffians, of the prisoner's stamp, to
take possession of Hyde-park, for the purpose of carrying on
their lawless proceedings, to the great annoyance of all
respectable and decent people. The case had been fully
proved, and, as a warning to others, the prisoner would be
fined £5, or two months' imprisonment, for the assault on
the prosecutor, and an additional two months for the assault
on the constables.

HOLLOWAY'S OINTMENT AND PILLS.—Mr. Henry Morgan,
of the Commercial•road, Newport, snffered for nine years with
bad legs, whicl: were covered with wounds; he had advice from
several of the London Hospitals, and consulted some of the local
medical gentlemen, but he failed to derive any benefit; in fact,
ultimately his ease was given up as hopeless. At this crisis he
determined to try Holloway's Ointment and Pills, which quickly
caused the wounds to heal, and he completely regained his health
in less than three months, to the astonishment and delight of the
whole of his aceuaintances and friends.
THE misery: the disappointment, the interminable expense
of ineffectual " ihysic-taking," are now happily superseded by
the use of Mews. Du BARRY'S REY... LENTA ARABICA FOOD,
which, by a pleasing and natural action on the system, removes
chronic and exhausting disease, and replaces langour and pain by
vigour and healti. Those whom it has restored to the enjoyment
of life include pe•sons belonging to all social grades and profes-
sions, and it is t proof that the emotion of gratitude is more
general than cynics imagine, when we find upwards of IFIFTY
THOUSAND of tie individuals thus relieved publicly:expressing
their sense of tin benefits they have derived. The peer and the
clergyman, the liwver and the physician, the naval and military
officer, the merciant, tradesman, and even the poor mechanic,
have joined in this unanimous and unparalleled testimonial.
What invalids mist require is a certainty that the article recom-
mended to them s capable of affording relief; that they will not
have again to untergo (as they have so often done) the bitter pro-
cess of trial and dsappointment. This certainty they now possess,
and it is no extravagance to express our confidence that it will
prove the harbinger of glad tidings to millions. For further par-
ticulars we refer oar readers to Messrs. Du Barry's advertisement
in our to-day's colimns.
IMPORT/01T CAtTION against the fearful dangers of spurious
imitations .—The !ice-Chancellor Sir William Page Wood granted
an Injunction on he 10th March, 1854, against Alfred Hooper

HOW TO PROLONG LIFE AND ENJOY
THE GREAT PURIFYING AND STRENGTHENING
MEDICINE.
What though the sun in beauty shine,
And you have countless hoards of wea!th ;
What though the world—all, all was thine,
If you but want the blessing, Health.
Dr. DE ROOS' PILULE VITE, or VEGETABLE LIFE PILLS.
A universal Restorative for both Sexes and all Ages, concocted
solely from the VEGINTABLE kingdom; they may be administered
to the youngest Child, or to the most delicate Invalid, by merely
regulating the dose according to the age and strength of the per-
son. They remove all Disorders and Pains in the Stomach and
Bowels, as Costiveness, Spasms, Loss of Appetite, Sick Headache,
Fulness after Meals, Indigestion, Liver Complaints, Inactivity of
the Bowels, Listlessness, Heat, Pain, and Jaundiced Appearance;
and while they act thus salutarily, they must of necessity increase
the strength of the Patient. Headache, Giddiness, Singing in the
Ears. Fluttering of the Sight, and other Heavy Drowsy Sensations
—the forerunners of many fatal diseases,—as Apoplexy, Paralytic
Strokes, Epilepsy, &c., are effectually warded off by a few doses
of these Pills. They also produce sound refreshing Sleep, a keen
Appetite, and possess extraordinary efficacy in invigorating the
system, and imparting a pleasing serenity of mind. They are
unequalled as a Family Medicine; in few instances, where occa-
sionally employed in Families and Schools, will other assistance
be needed.
- For Females they are truly, excellent, removing Headaches,
Depreision of Spirits, Dizziness of Sight, Nervousness, Dimples,
Sallowness, and giving a healthyjuvemle bloom to the Complexion.
Ladies, 'however delicate, wii: find them particularly beneficial
both before and after confinement. For Elderly People they are
the most comfortable Medicine that can be taken.
Persons going Abroad, Captains, and others, cannot store more
important articles of health than the above, which, by regulating
the Stomach and Bowels, and tranquillizing the Nervous System,
will prevent those fatal diseases so prevalent abroad; as also Sea
Sickness and other complaints incidental to long voyages and
irregular living. No Emigrant's Chest can be properly furnished
without them, for when far removed from medical aid, they will
find in these Pills a never-failing restorative.
Mr. Smith, St. Ives: "Since taking your Pills I have not once
required the services of a medical man, and feel satisfied this
would be the case generally, if people were not so much governed
by_prejudice."—T.Webster, Esq., Sleaford, near Melton Mowbray:
"Having read your advertisement, I felt assured your Pills would
be of use to some of my poorer neighbours. I have had 12 boxes,
and they have derived great benefit from taking them. I shall
continue to recommend your valuable Pills to all my friends."—
Mr. Edwin Highley, 4, Mount-street, Halifax: "I find your Pilulae
Vitae a very pleasant medicine in removing headache., '—Maent-
wrog, Tan-y.Bwlch, North Wales: "Mr. Warner's compliments
to Dr. De Roos, and he finds no medicine do him so much good
as his Pilulae Vita:."
IMPORTANT.—Some unprincipled Vendors, when asked for Dr.
DE ROOS' Pills, have attempted to foist upon the Purchaser
other Medicines, or trash of their own compounding, from which
they obtain a larger profit. The GENUINE have the words
" WALTER DE ROOS, LONDON," in white letters on the red
ground printed in the stamp, affixed to each Box, by special
direction of Her Majesty's Honourable Commissioners, to pro-
tect the. Public from Fraud, and to imitate which is Felony.
May be obtained through all Medicine Vendors, at is. lid..

&c., or by enclosing Post-office order or Stamps to Dr. DE

HOLLOWAY'S PILLS.
ASTONISHING CURE OF DROPSY.
Copy of a Letter from Mr. David Simpson, of Collingham, dated
4th Sept. 1834.
To Professor Holloway,—Sir,—it is with great pleasure I have
to inform you of a most wonderful cure of that dreadful malady,
the 'dropsy, effected on my daughter by the ase of your invalu-
able pills. She had been under medical treatment for a long
time without deriving any benefit, although she was tapped
twice, and fourteen pounds of water taken from her each time.
After suffering very severely for some time, she finally had re-
course to your pills, and in four weeks was completely cured, after
every other remedy failed to do her the slightest good. I there-
fore feel bound to make this statement public for the benefit of
similar sufferers.—l remain, sir, yours obediently,

CURE ! !
Copy of a Letter from Mr. James Henshall, of Ashton-under-

period I commenced using your pills, and in gratitude am bound
to confess, that after a few doses I felt considerably better, and
in six weeks was radically cured by this medicine alone, after
every other remedy had failed to afford me the slightest relief.

I find it to be a pure vegetable. Farina, perfectly wholesome, easily
digestible, likely to promote a healthy action of the stomach and
bowels, and thereby. to counteract dyspepsia, constipation, and
their nervous consequences.—ANDßEW Unit, M.D., F.A.S., &c.

SCIENCE AND ART.
LIGHTING GAS WITH THE TIP OF THE FINGER.---
This feat anybody may perform. Let a person, in his
shoes or slippers, walk briskly over a woollen carpet,
scuffling his feet thereon, or stand upon a chair with
its legs in four tumblers, to insulate it, and then be
rubbed up and down the body a few times with a muff,
by another person,and he will light his gas simply by
touching his finger to the tube. It is only necessary
to take the precaution not to touch anything or to be
touched by anybody during the trial of the experiment.
The stock of electricity acquired by the process we
have described is discharged by contact with another
object. A second person must turn the gas while the
other fires it.
PARIS OF OLD.—The germ of this Paris of the
nineteenth century is the small island in the Seine,
now known as La Cite, whereon stands the cathedral
of Notre Dame. This was the Lutetia of the Romans ;
a bridge over the Seine on either side, beyond the
east end of the cathedral, connecting the city with the
roads to the provinces north and south. At the other
end of the island, the western, the kings of France
fixed their habitation. There, too, the Parliament
met, and the judges dispensed the law. The palace
occupied more than a third of the whole area of the
island, and bristled with turrets and spires. Fire
devastated it in 1618, and again in 1776. The Palais
de Justice was afterwards modernised, and at the
present time the remains of the medieval building
are comparatively few. Chief amongst them is the
Sainte Chapelle.
A NEW EFFECT IN WINDOWS.---I have lately
found that by the following simple process a very
beautiful effect may be produced in stained glass,
adapted for ecclesiastical purposes, at a very moderate
price. Take some pieces of flashed glass having a
clear pattern cat upon them, and unite any two of
different colour and pattern. The result will be a
design of great beauty of form, richness of colour,
and especially of a sparkling brilliancy, almost un-
rivalled in any other kind of glass. I have had some
leaded up in diamonds, and the effect is so pleasing, i
that they will probably be adopted n the chancel of
a church which I built some years since, and about
which my opinion had just been asked. If the makers
of this sort of glass would manufacture it specially
for the purpose, the result would be doubtless still ,
more satisfactory ; but with the ordinary specimens
any of your readers may satisfy themselves of the
truth of my statement. The kinds of patterns best
adapted for the purpose are stars, crosses, circles, and
generally good geometrical forms. I may add that
the expense is very trifling, considering the effect pro-
duced, as the glass in single colours is manufactured
at a very low price, and the process of combining the
two, by which the rich effect is produced, costs com-
paratively nothing.---Correspondent of the Builder.
• ST. PAUL'S (IRON) CHURCH AT KENSINGTON.—A
temporary church has been fitted up in the grounds of
the Vicarage at Kensington, and was opened on the
30th ult. by Archdeacon Sinclair. It affords accom-
modation for about 800 persons, and is the first tem-
porary church of iron put up in the metropolis. The
edifice consists of a nave 72 feet in length, 30 feet
wide, and 24 feet high to the ridge ; north and south
aisles, 84 feet long, 13 feet in width and 17 feet high ;
and a chancel of the sume width and height as the nave,
and 24 feet in length. At the end of the north aisle,
immediately adjoining the chancel, is the vestry, 12
feet square ; and the organ is placed in the correspond-
ing portion of the route aislh. The porch extends the
width of the west end, and has a depth of 12 feet. The
roof, internally, is opened, and of stained deal. The
church is warmed by means of hot-water pipes, which
traverse the walls. The seats are open, with panelled
ends, and, like the roof, are of stained deal. The
whole of the building is externally of corrugated gal-
vanized iron. It would not be difficult on a future oc-
casion to give a more ecclesiastical character to such a
structure externally. The arrangement is, that ss. a-
year shall be paid for each sitting to the contractors,
Messrs. Hemming and Co., of the Clift-house Works
in the parish of Bow. If the proceeds of the seat-
rents do not suffice to meet the annual expenses, the
deficiency is to be made up by the archdeacon : if a
surplus is realised, it will be applied in aid of the fund
for building a permanent edifice of stone.
ADVICE TO CONSUMPTIVE PERSONS.—In some
advice to consumptive persons Mr. Hall says :---" Eat
16 7
all you can digest, and exercise a great deal in the
open air, to convert what you eat into pure healthful
blood. Do not be afraid of out-door air, by day or night.
Do not be afraid of sudden changes of weather;
let no change, hot or cold, keep you in doors. If it is
rainy weather the more need of your going out, be-
cause you eat as much upon a rainy day as upon a
clear day ; and if you exercise less, that much more
remains in the system of what ought to be thrown off
by exercise, and some ill-result, some consequent
symptom or ill-feeling is the certain issue. If it is
cold out of doors, do not muffle your nose, eyes, and
mouth in furs, veils, woollen comforters, and the like;
nature has supplied you with the best inhaling regu-
lator, that is, two lips ; shut them before you step out
of a warm room into the cold air, and keep them shut
until you have walked briskly a few rods and quick-
ened the circulation a little; walk fast enough to keep
off a feeling of chilliness, and taking cold will be im-
possible. What are the facts of the case P Look at
railrbad conductors going out of hot air into the
piercing cold of winter, and in again, every five or ten
minutes, and yet they do not take cold oftener than
others ; you will scarcely find a consumptive man in a
thousand of them. It is wonderful how afraid con-
sumptive people, are of cold air, the very thing that
would cure them, the only obstacle to a cure being
that they do not get enough of it, especially if it is
cold ; when it is known that the colder the purer it
must be ; yet, if people cannot go to a hotter climate,
they will make an artificial one, and imprison them-
selves for a whole winter in a warm room, with a tem-
perature not varying ten degrees in six months: all
such people die, and yet we follow in their footsteps.
If I were seriously ill of consumption I would live out
of doors day and night except it was raining or mid-
winter, then I would sleep in an unplastered log-
house. My consumptive friends, you want pure air,
not medicated air ; you want nuitrition, such as plenty
of meat and bread will give, and those alone ; physic
has no nutriment, gasping for air cannot cure you ;
monkey capers in a gymnasium cannot cure you ; and
stimulants cannot cure you. If you want to get well,
go in for beef and out door air, and do not be deluded
into the grave by advertisements and unreliable certi-
fiers."
HOUSEHOLD _ECONOMY.
SHREWSBURY CAKES.—Mix eight ounces of flour
in half a pound of fresh butter, then add six ounces of
finely powdered sugar, beat up a couple of eggs in two
tablespoonfuls of rose water, to these put half an
ounce of carraway seeds, and a stick of cinnamon
reduced to powder, mix all the ingredients well
together. Upon a well floured paste-board, spread
the paste quarter of an inch thick, and divide it into
cakes, with a knife or stamp, according to your taste,
Bake in a quick oven.
POTATO FRITTERS.—ParboiI half-a-dozen, or more
if required, large, long-shaped potatoes, cut these into
slices, about as thick as a crown piece, beat up a couple
of eggs, with a tablespoonful of finely grated crumbs,
and an equal quantity of the lean of ham, rasped small,
dip each slice in this mixture, and fry in abundance of
boiling lard, or Florence oil. The vegetable thus
dressed is a capital accompaniment to a chop or steak,
and is often served as a supper dish without reference
to meat.
APPLE PUFFS. Roast, very gradually, in an
American or Dutch oven, as many rough-coated apples
as required. Take out the pulp with a dessert spoon,
taking care not to disturb the core. To. every four
apples use the rind of one lemon, finely grated, add this,
and sweeten with powdered sugar to your taste.
Make a light puff paste with plenty o? eggs, and a
quantity of sugar, properly mixed in it. Use up the
pulp by a dessert spoonful at a time, surround it with
paste, and be careful to make your puffs of a moderate
size, bake in a quick oven, and serve either hot or cold.
MUTTON HAM.—Hang for three or four days,
according to the season of the year, a leg of four year
old mutton, of some dozen pounds weight ; trim it so
as to give it the shape; of a ham. Dissolve in a
stewpan half a pound of common salt, half a pound of
bay salt, half a pound of coarse Barbadoes sugar, and
a couple of ounces of saltpetre, pour in a cupful of
water, to prevent burning ; let all these boil, stirring
it constantly that the ingredients may be properly
mixed. Put the mutton into a deep dish, and pour
he liquor boiling hot over it. Turn and baste it
with the brine for five days, then add three ounces of

LIVERPOOL TOWN COUNCIL.
ON Tuesday, a special meeting of the council was held, his
worship the Mayor (J. A. Tobin, Esq.,) presiding, for the pur-
pose of winding up the affairs of the official year, preparatory
to the municipal elections.
FINANCE COMILITTEE.-,ENGAGEMENTS AND ria.vitinEs OF
THE COEPORAVON.
The proceedings of the Finance Committee contained
several recommendations, among which was one to advance
two several sums.of £4,309 and £4,208 for the-construction of
permanent buildings- required by Messrs. Clover and Boyle,
and Messrs. Clayton and M`Keverigan, on land leased by
them at . Birkenhead,. for ship-building purposes. There
was likewise a recommendation to appoint Mr. Hutton assist-
taut book-keeper in the• Treasurer's office, at a salary of £l2O.
Mr. 110IINDY, in moving the confirmation of the proceed-
ings, stated that the outlay proposed in respect to the
ship-building purposes would yield an annual- return of
6i per cent., and said that when the buildings were finished,
the establishments connected with them would be the most
complete of the kind in, this country. He expressed a hope
that the recommendation of the committee to abstain from any
new schemes of local improvement would be concurred in by
the Council, stating as a reason, that, during the next munici-
pal year, the new Assize Courts, the Borough Gaol, and the
courts in Dale-street, will absorb upwards of £40;000; while
£25,000 will be require& within the same period towards the
new landing-stage. The large engagements of the Corporation
on the other side of the water formed another consideration
of great importance, andTthough he aid' not iii the lea4t regret
the purchase of the Birkenhead Docks, than which he thought
there was no measure more-calculated to contributeultimately
to the prosperity of the port of Liverpool, he could: not disguise.
from himself the fact that, without great careandgood ma-
nagement fora few years, the surplus income of. the Corpora-

TILE NEW FREE LIBRARY AND MUSEUM : MR. BROWN'S.
GRANT.
The proceedings of the Committee-comprised
a recommendation that all necessary steps shouldbo taken for
acquiring the property between Shaw's-brow and Clayton-
street, from Mill-lane to, Byrom-street, as a site for a public
library and museum, under the provisions of the Liverpool
Improvement Aet of 1855, In connexion with this subject, a
letter was read from W. Brown, Esq., M. P.,.uportithe subject
of his donation of £6,.000, promised in 1853, towards the erec-
tion of a building for &free library, and stating. that, if the
Corporation did not take steps to purchase the. neeessary pro-
perty, he should consider that they had declined.his offer, and
should adopt means to have the money applieflito other edu-
cational purposes. The recommendation of tite committee
was carried.
ST. GEORGJeS-HALL.—POPULAR CONCERTS.
The proceedings of the St. George's-hall. Committee were
confirmed. In reference to these it was stated that the com-
mittee intend in a short time to establish. evening organ
concerts for the working classes, admission• to which would
be charged at the rate of 3d. each. The pecuniary results of
the sixpenny performances had been so successful, as to have
yielded on the Saturday EA while at the evening per-
formances on Monday the receipts had amounted to £7O.
The proceedings of the Markets' Committee were passed
without comment, and also the Education. Committee's minutes.
In course of discussion on the resolutions of the Gaol and
House of Correction Committee, Mr. B.Gis,DBTONE denounced
in strong terms the system of solitary confinement adopted
at the new Borough Gaol; a system which Mr. G. HOLT de-
fended, describing it rather as a separate than solitary system.
The reports of the Health, Gardens, Church Expenditure,
and Water Committees were adopted: The latter contained
an account of the purchase of the Cherley works for £35,000.
The Baths and Hackney Carriage- Committees' proceedings
were passed.
REPORT OF THE SPECIAL coatlCll'2En ON THE GAS SUPPLY..
The Special Committee appointed to inquire into the cir 1
cumstances and conditions of the gas supplied in the borough
presented their report, in which they stated the conclusions
they had arrived at in consideration of the evidence adduced
before them. The report commenced with a description of
the preliminary steps taken by the committee, and stated.,
that the attendance of the representatives of the Guardian.'
Society, as well as of the. Gas Company, was requested. The•
latter, however, after attending two meetings, withdrew from
the inquiry, in accordance with a resolution of the directors.;.
and this the committee much regretted, as it deprived them
of the means of gaining much important information. The
committee had directed their attention seriatim to the various
points embraced by the resolution of the Council.
The first was the state of the gas supply in the borough,
which included the charge made for gas ; tho motors used by
consumers; the quality of the gas; and the loss occasioned by
the supply of gas in the suburban districts. With, regard to
the charge now made for gas, the report states :—" It appears,
from the evidence of about forty consumers selected, indis-
criminately, that, notwithstanding the reduction made in the
price of gas on the Ist of January last, from 4s. 6d. to 4s. per
1,000 cubic feet (rather more than 11 per cent.), the bills
delivered by the Gas Company, and actually paid by those
consumers, were larger in amount than the bills for the cor-
responding period in previous years ; this increase varying
from 10 to 50 per cent., and this although no additional gas
had been consumed by them. That in some instances con-
sumers had been charged for more gas than the quantity indi-
cated by their meters, the quantity being ascertained (as
stated in the bills) by ' computation' on the consumption of
previous periods, and in more than one instance consumers
had been charged for gas by 'computation' where no gas
whatever had been used on their premises." The meters (the
report proceeds) are "wet" meters, whose accuraey depends in
a great measure upon their being fixed at an accurate level.
The adjustment of these meters, which are manufactured and
supplied by the Gas Company, has been much neglected by
the company's servants, and the result of the examination by
Mr. Taunton, the inspector appointed by the Corporation of
London, was that only one or two, out of between 300 and
400 meters examined, were found correct. It appears, from
the evidence of Mr. Taunton and Mr. Clegg, that an over-
charge of water causes the meter to register more gas than
actually passes through it, and vice versa ; also that gas of
an inferior quality passes through the water with greater
rapidity than good gas; and Mr. Clegg, in a great measure,
attributes the increase of the gas bills since January last to
this fact.
With respect to the loss produced by the supply of gas to
the suburban districts, the committee have no doubt that the
supply of gas to the districts situate at a long distance from
the places of manufacture, even at the maximum price of
4s. 6d. per 1,000 cubic feet, is not remunerative to the com-
pany, and entails upon the consumers nearer the places of
manufacture a very serious charge to counterbalance the loss
upon the supply of distant districts, and to enable the com-
pany to derive, as they are legally entitled to, a dividend of
ten per cent. upon the capital expended in the extension of
their mains, and other works necessary for the supply of these
distant localities. According to the evidence of Mr. Clegg,
the quantity of gas lost through leakage, and othern ise by the
extension of the mains to those outlaying districts, amounts to
twice as much as the profits which the company make by the
supply of gas, which loss he calculates at 20 per cent. With
this evidence adduced before them, the committee have arrived
at the conclusions—That, taking into consideration the over-
charges made from incorrect registration of meters, the price
of gas is far too high. That the meters in use are generally
of imperfect construction and erroneus in their registration,
and that there has been gross neglect and carelessness on the
part of the company and their servants with respect to the ex-
amination and adjustment of meters ; and that, whether the
registration be more or less than the actual consumption, the
general body of consumers are most prejudicially affected by
such inaccuracy. That the quality and illuminating power of
the gas supplied is variable, and that the standard quality
prescribed by the act of Parliament is uncertain and inefficient.
That the supply of gas to the suburban districts entails a
serious charge to the consumers nearer the works ; and that
the principle of supplying both classes of consumers at the
same price is most unjust, as admitted by the company, in the
distinction they made in the charge since the Ist January last,
and that separate accounts should be kept of the expenditure and
receipt in each of the townships or districts named in the act.
With regard to the reductions made in price, the committee
observe that the reductions which have been made from the
former price of 7's. per 1,000 cubic feet, to the present price of
4s. per 1,000 cubic feet, were all made under pressure from
without, and threats of competition ; and that the consent of
Parliament to the amalgamation of the old companies was
based chiefly on the allegation that the cost of management
would be thereby reduced ; a result which has not, however,
been attained. The committee further remark that the capa-
bilities of the present company to supply the increasing
demand for gas depend entirely upon the amount of " capital
at the disposal of the company;" and they regret that, owing
to the refusal of the company to permit their officers to afford
any information, the only evidence they have received on this
subject is that of Mr. Beloe, the accountant appointed by the
Recorder, under the act of Parliament, whose information is
derived solely from his official annual examination of the
accounts. It appears, from Mr. Beloe's statement, on the 30th
June, 1854, that the capital raised by the company was—
Amount paying dividend at 10 per cent...£469,414 5 8
Amount received as premium 100,783 0 0
Borrowed on bond
Of which had been expended
631,597 5 8
626,245 15 5
Leaving a balance unexpended of £5,351 10 3
This being the state of the capital account, the committee con-
clude that the company are capable of supplying the increas-
ing demand for gas. It is stated by Mr. Clegg, as the result
of a most careful and elaborate calculation, that works capa-
ble of supplying the present and future demand for gas, in-
cluding mains; &c., could be constructed for £300,000, and
that the outlay of this amount would enable' a company to
supply gas, of a quality superior to that now used, at 3s. 6d.
per 1,000 cubic feet, and pay a dividend of 10 per cent. on the
outlay.
The report next alludes to the system of management and
its cost, and states that the supervision over the company pre-
scribed by the act, and vested in the auditor, is very insuffi-
cient, and that an inspecting engineer and auditor to-examine
the works and accounts,. ots the part of the consumers, would
be valuable and necessary. From the evidence, the cormnittee
conclude that the management of the company, so- far as
respects meters, fittings,. &c., is very unsatisfactory, and that
;
the charges made for merits wages in " fittings " is universally
complained of. The principle of the Gas Company being the
manufacturers of meters and the sellers of gas, without con-
trol, is denounced in the report as unfair. After contrasting
the gross income of the company from 1849 to 1854 with the
cost of manufacture in those. years, and showing that while
the latter, from 1849 to 1853. had only increased £5,000, the'
revenue had increased £27,000,, the committee account for'
this by adopting Mr. Clegg's opinion, that the quality of the•
gas- materially affects the registration of the meter—the more
inferior the quality of the gas, the- greater the velocity-with
which, it flows through the same openings in the meter. The
expense and inconvenience to the ptablieby the breaking up of
the streets is lightly dwelt upon, its cost being something less
than, icl. per thousand cubic feet of gas consumed. The re-
port then details the recommendations which appear to the
committee most adapted to insure, for the future, the best and
cheapest supply of gas. As the present company is a mono-
poly, with• personal interest paramount in the management of
the estatei.the committee see no grounds for relying on the
company for any amelioration of the- present condition of
things, and' much less for the continued exertion necessary to
meet the growing wants of the community.. Having regard,
howeire, th the vested rights of the proprietors, they would
feel disposedrather to recommend an arrangement by which
the management of the; business of the company should be
transferred to bands who were identified with the public, than
that a competing company should be supported by the coun-
cil. They incorporated in their report a suggestion that the
share propert*of the company should be converted into bonds,
carrying a certain interest, and that the controls of the company
should pass into the hands of a board of nine directors, three
of whom to be appointed by the council, three by the con-
sumers, and three by the bondholders. With the general
principle of this suggestion the committee are disposed to
agree, and recommend that the council re-appoint the com-
mittee, with instructions to confer with the company on the
subject ; and if it be found that the company is not disposed
to agree to a tramsfer, or, agreeing thereto, that' they propose
terms which are unjust and unreasonable, then your committee
would recommend that the council erect works of its own, or
give its sanction and active co-operation to any new company
which may be formed for supplying the borough, of Liverpool
with gas, as the only mode by which the interests of the pub-
lic can be proper:t protected. As immediate measures, how-
ever, the committee suggest that the company siatald be called
upon—
lst.—To make an immediate reduction in the pyice of gas.
2nd.—To discontinue the manufacture of meters and the
sale of chandeliers-and similar fittings.
3rd.—To consentito the appointment of an inspecting engi-
neer, on behalf the-consumers, to be responsible te.tbe coun-
cil, with full powers of access to all
,departments &the works,
and with instructions to report thereon periodically ;: and,
4th.—To the at of officers, also responsible to the
Council, to examine- and adjust the meters on beholf of the
consumers, and to test and from time to time report. on the
quality of the gas, the pressure at which it is supplied, and on
other points necessary to insures protection to ttie consumers.
Mr. KITCHEN moved the adoption of the report.comment-
ing upon its principal features, but making no nemstatement
of importance.
Mr. SHELL seconded the motion.
Mr. Alderman Sr HOLME, who viewed the repert-a6 a mere
ex parte statement; and was anxious that the Gas,-Company
should have an opportunity of replying to charg,eso serious,
moved, as an amendment, that the report be received and
printed, and that a:copy be sent to each member of Abe Coun-
cil, and also to the Gas Company, and that the report be taken
into consideration at some subsequent meeting of the Council,
together with suehq.eply as the Gas Company mapinake.
'Mr. Alderman Bk.:1-zirr- T seconded the amendment.
Mr. GLIDSTONREIIICh regretted that the Gas COnapany had
withdrawn froM the inquiry, and hoped they wouktreconsider
that step, as thevewas a feeling out of doors wbi-2.11 it would
be impossible to quell without some satisfactory explanation.
Mr. HORNET thoht with Mr. Holme that tbey would not
be acting fairly by, the accused if they decided without waiting
their reply ; and4the Council Would not even be in a position
to decide withouthraving the opportunity of considering and
digesting the report. (Hear, hear.)
Mr. CLINT (omi of the special committee), though he had
no objection to Mr. Holme's amendment, denied that the state-
ments were e.v, parte. They were borne out- by the fullest
and clearest evidence. _ _
Mr. BRADIEM vras of the same opinion.
After a few words from Mr. Bennett, Mr. KITCEIEN replied,
and, as he had.: no objection to adopt the amatdment of Mr.
Holme, the Council agreed to it.

With reference to the proposed amalgamation of Birkenhead
and Claughton, and the district of the Wallasey Board of
Health, with the borough, your committee report that they,
have, hell interviews with gentlemenropresenting those places ;
and, although the details in respect of such amalgamation will
require careful consideration andiadjustment, your committee
recommend that notices should,: be• given of a bill to effect
these objects, the clauses of, that bill being subject to tae•
approval of the Council.
A communication was Received by your committee from.
several of the principal landowners in the township of Tran-
mere, suggesting the addition of that township to the borough:
But a public meeting et the.ratepayers has since been held,
and resolutions adopted, objecting thereto ; and yoUr com-
mittee have, therefore, abstained from further considering, the
desirableness of, sugh arrangement until the parties moreimr
mediately connected vaith the township have arrived, at a
general agreement cit.the subject.
Your committee have also conferred with the Health. Com-
mittee on the sub, oct of the borough boundaries omthe Lan-
cashire side, and have: received from that committee the
resolution and report appended thereto.
Reference to the plan, mentioned in that report will show
that the propose& additions to the borough aro• very extensive,
and time hasnot admitted of the full consideration of so large
a question. As, however, if any alteration of the existing
boundaries involves an application to Parliament in the next
session, and the publication during three weeks in, November
of notices of the intention to make such application, the
Health Committee recommend the publication of such notice,
reserving for further and mature consideration the principle
of such, additions, and all the details involved therein. Your
committee must leave the decision of so important a matter
to the. Council, not being prepared, with the limited informa-
tion they now possess, to recognise, even by the publication
of a notice, the principle of so laxge an addition to the borough,
although they are of opinion that it is necessary to settle and
define accurately the existing boundaries.
J OHN STEWART.
Mr. HORNBY, as chairrm of the committee on the Birken•
head Docks, moved the adoption of the report, which pledged
the council to nothing except the preparation of the bills re-
quired for carrying out the objects described. The cost of
the new works which had been approved by the Dock Com-
mittee, was £715,000. This expense, large as it was, was im.
posed upon them by an act of Parliament ; and in the event
of not preparing plans of their own, they must carry out those
of Mr. Bendel km the completion of the Birkenhead Docks.
With regard to the question of adding Birkenhead to Liver-
pool, all they asked now was that they should be authorized to
prepare a plan, and submit it to the Council hereafter. He
thought that it would be better to define accurately and en-
large the boundary of the borough ; but he could not go so far
as the Health Committee advised, as he doubted whether those
districts which the Health Committee proposed to be added
to the borough were at all prepared to become parties to such
a plan.
Mr. J. B. LLOYD seconded the motion.
Mr. DOVER moved, as an amendment, that the recom-
mendations included in the Health Committee's report be
acted upon by Parliamentary notices being given. Of course,
on the understanding, that beyond giving of the notices, no
action will be taken for the present. _ .
Mr. JOHNSON seconded the amendment.
After some discussion, in which Mr. Alderman Cooper, Mr.
Hodson, and Mr. Halhead expressed themselves adverse to the
scheme in its present extended, form, and Mr. Picton advo-
cated the propriety of proceeding with the application to
Parliament, on a vote being taken, Mr. Dover's amendment
was carried by a majority of 30,

CORN.
LIVERPOOL, Nov. 2.—There was a fair attendance of buyers
at our market this morning, and with rather more tone in the
wheat trade, the prices of Tuesday have been maintaintd in the
business transacted, which, however, was not large, several millers
from a distance taking on the whole but a moderate quantity.
There was a fair show of new wheat offering this morning in
improved condition from neighbouring growers, and upon a good
demand our last quotations were maintained. Flour was in
tolerable request for consumption, and both sacks and barrels
sold for more money ; some quantity of Spanish was taken for
export to the East at 65s and 66s per sack. In barley, beans,
oats, and oatmeal there is no change to note, the demand for each
being on a moderate scale. We have a renewed activity, partly
speculative, in Indian corn, the available parcels of American
mixed being cleared at 445.

MANCHESTER, Nov. I.—To-day the trade again ruled dull,
and the following reductions must be noted, namely, Id to 2d per
bushel on English wheat, 3d to 4d on Irish, and 6d on American,
the latter being in more plentiful supply. Flour was also Is. per
sack lower, oatmeal fid per load, and oats Id per bushel. Beans
firm at full prices.
PRESTON, Nov. 3.—There was a considerable falling off in
the supply of English wheat at the Corn Exchange this morning,
yet at the commencement of the market it might have been
bought on rather easier terms, but the demand being active, it
closed firm at the full prices of last Saturday. A little more
enquiry for all descriptions in granary at our last currency.
English flour cannot be sold without submitting to an abatement
'of is per pack.. Oats in more request, but without change in
value. The demand for oatmeal is limited to the retail require-
ments of the trade at about our last quotations.
WAKEFIELD. Nov. 2.—01 d wheat maintained its price; new
must be noted is per quarter lower, except very choice parcels;
inferior sorts slow sale. Barley Is per quarter dearer. Beans
rather higher. Oats and shelling slow sale.
- • •
WISBECH, Nov. 3.—We are moderately supplied with grain
here to-day of all kinds. Good dry miller's wheat is quite as
dear as last week, but damp inferior samples are Is per quarter
lower. Spring corn in good demand at full prices.
- -
NEWCASTLE-UPON-TYNE, Nov. 3.—To-day there was a
large supply of farmers' wheat, which experienced an improved
demand from Tuesday's market, and sold on much the same
terms as this day week, except inferior simples, which were
rather easier to buy. Holders of south cowry and old foreign
insist upon full prices, and the business done has been quite of a
retail character—some middling old Holstein sold at 88s per
quarter. Barley, beans, and peas come sparingly to hand, and
are unchanged in value. A fair supply of oats, demand less
active, and prices in favour of the buyers.
CORK, Nov. 3.—The flour market was dull this week and sales
small ; prices are unaltered. Foreign wheat is heid firm, but
harder to sell. Indian corn attracts speculative buyers, amongst
whom good stocks have accumulated. The grain market is well
supplied; wheat is is to is 6d lower on the week ; barley, is
dearer ; oats, unaltered.
DUBLIN, Nov. 2.—We had a very small supply and a firm
market at our Corn-Exchange to-day. We do not alter our quo-
tations of Tuesday, which were fully supported for every descrip-
tion of grain and Indian corn.

TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 6, 1855.
THE LATE ARCHDEACON BROOKS.
THE people of Liverpool have decided to commemo-
rate the virtues and longservices of our late Archdeacon
by a statue, to be placed in one of the niches within
St. George's-hall. Our readers will recollect that,
some weeks ago, we suggested a church as the most
fitting monument ; while some have recommended a
girls' school, and others an endowment for the unfi-
nished church, which is already popularly known and
spoken of as Archdeacon Bnooxs',---and very appro-
priately, being the last within the bounds of this great
parish in which he was permitted to interest himself.
Against the decision in favour of a statue we would say
nothing more than, that .we should have preferred
something which, while it would have equally marked
the Parishioners' sense of their late Rector's many
virtues, would have been calculated to promote the
highest interests of those who were sometime his flock.
The people have said a statue, and, therefore, a statue
let it be : and we earnestly hope, that the subscrip-
tion-list will not only allow the committee to engage
the first talent for its execution, but furnish a large
balance for other objects after all expenses are de-
frayed. In one point of view, even we are ready to
admit that a statue is preferable to what ourselves ven-
tured to suggest ; for, had a church been decided
upon, it could hardly have been expected that any but
churchmen would have contributed towards its erec-
tion. Certainly, no consistent Dissenter could have
done so. To a statue, however, particularly to one
which is to be erected in a secular building, such as
St. George's-hall, the Dissenter may contribute as
consistently as a Churchman ; and of many thousands
of them, we believe, he had secured the love and
respect, no less than of his own people. And, there-
fore, while we retain our previously expressed opinion,
and should have rejoiced had our fellow-townsmen
coincided with us, we again say, a statue let it be, and
one at once worthy of him whom it is intended to
commemorate, and of the noble building in which it
will be placed.
But, is it really imperative to confine the con-
tributions of the people to one object? Let the statue,
by all means, be first provided for : but cannot some-
thing else be done, more immediately connected with
the great parish over which the late Archdeacon so
long presided ? We have already said, that one of
the suggestions was to raise an endowment for the
yet unfinished church in the district of Vauxhall:
and we do not believe that any insuperable difficulty
would be found, if it should be attempted to carry it
out. Nothing could be more appropriate, for he took
a special interest in its erection, and already it is
popularly connected with his name by the people in
its more immediate neighbourhood. And no one can
look at the neighbourhood without being convinced,
that an adequate endowment would be as great a
boon as the church itself. There can be no doubt
that the erection of a House of God, and the location
of a Minister of God, in such a place, are great steps
in the right direction; and that even under the most
unfavourable circumstances some spiritual good must
result from them. But, for many reasons, it is im-
portant that the Minister should be provided with a
maintenance: for, not to speak of the difficulty of
raising a sufficient income in a poor district ; not to
speak of the fact that he must feel painfully conscious
that every augmentation of income testifies of self-
denial and self-sacrifice, upon the part of those who
can least afford them ; how painful a position is it for
him to be placed in, to know that whenever the line
of duty diverges from that of popular prejudice, he
can only follow the former at the risk, or rather with
the certainty, of having his already-limited-means,
still further reduced. As long as his income arises
from pew-rents he will be regarded by the bulk of
his congregation, not as the minister of God and their '
servant for Jesus' sake, but, as their servant directly
and immediately, engaged for their service, and paid
with their money. And though they cannot, upon
any particular occasion, show their dissatsfaction
by dismissing him from his post, they will not
fail to withdraw themselves and leave him to
starve in it. This is a position in which no
honest man should be placed, be he high Church-
man or low Churchman. It gives to his congregation-
a power which, even for their own sakes, it is
not desirable that they should possess. However,
even supposing this difficulty to be overcome, and the
congregation taught to regard God's minister as a
shepherd, and themselves as his flock, others remain
behind ; and not the least of these is, that his income
will in all probability be at its lowest, when he has
the greatest need of all his resources. Pew-rents in
a poor neighbourhood will never produce any very
large sum, but will assuredly produce less than usual
in years of distress, let the distress arise from what
cause it may ; and these are the very times at which
he will be constantly called upon to put his hand in
his pocket. The expenses of himself, and of his family
if he has one, are largely increased ; he is surrounded
by numerous cases of sickness and poverty ; and his
income, which was barely sufficient before, is dimi-
nished by a third, or a half, or even more. And how
many opportunities of doing good are lost by the
Minister who is constantly compelled to turn a deaf
ear to the complaints, or shut his eyes upon the
miseries of his people, we need hardly say.
Butt besides all this, it will not be denied, that they
who minister at the Altar have a claim for their own
sakes. They are entitled not only to a maintenance
for themselves, but to such a maintenance as will
enable them to make provision for their families.
Clergy-orphan Schools, and Clergy-widows' Funds,
are all very well, but there ought to be no necessity
for them ; and painful must be the lot of one who, while
he is spending and being spent in the service of God,
has no more cheering prospect for his loved ones, when
himself shall be removed from them, than is generally
afforded by these and similar institutions. So far the
case would be different, if our Clergy, like those of
Rome, were bound to a life of celibacy ; but, to say
nothing of the inexpediency and wickedness of re-
quiring from them such a vow, we may safely assert
that they are hardly allowed a choice in the matter.
They not only may, but, as a general rule, they ought
to, and must, marry. We say must: for there is a
general prejudice against an unmarried clergy, and
not without foundation in reason. But surely the
who'require them to marry, should enable them
to do so without the almost-certainty of leaving, at
some future period, a family of paupers behind them.
It would be easy to extend our remarks upon this
subject; but enough, we think, has been said to show,
that no testimonial to our late Archdeacon could be
more useful, none more appropriate, than an endow-
ment for a church in a poor district which owes its
erection in so great a measure to his exertions. Doubt-
less there are many others which need it as much ; but
if the evil, in this town of overwhehnning magnitude,
is to be abated, a beginning must be made somewhere;
and nowhere can it be made more appropriately.

FROM OUR LONDON CORRESPONDENT.
MONDAY AIORNING.
"WE live in strange times," is an exclamation which has
rung in the human ear, if not exactly since the existence of
thOse halcyon days when " ADAM delved and Evi span," cer-
tainly from a period long antecedent to the memory of that
fabled phoenix " the oldest inhabitant," and stretching back
into the midst of those remote revels, whereat the Muse of
History has been rendered unsteady by imbibing too largely
of the Lethean potations of tradition. Each repetition of the
oiacular sound claims for itself, on comparison with its prede-
cessors, the peculiar merit of being not merely the latest effort
but the best entitled to " wake the slumbering echoes," and
receive the attention of an apathetic auditory. The most
recent provocative of the oft-repeated adage, was that which
on Tuesday last received its impulse in the Great Park at
Windsor, when and where numerous oxen, fed under the
special eye and authority of the Commissioners of HER
MAJESTY'S Land Revenue, were exposed for sale. That oxen
should become obese while roaming " at sweet will" among the
luxurious pastures of the Royal demesne, is no matter of won-
derment. Many a harmless drone has long ere this period
waxed fat amidst those secluded shades ; the remarkable
feature of the case being that the Commissioners of HER
MAJESTY'S Land Revenue should become bucolic, and turn their
attention to the fatting of beeves. So it hath come to pass,
however, and the first sale of oxen fed under their august aus-
pices took place in the Great Park on Tuesday last. The state
of the weather was unfavourable, but the novelty was great,
and the Great Babylon of modern days poured forth her nu-
merous connoisseurs of bovine symmetry and obeseness to
inspect and pass judgment on the success of the great experi-
ment which was to convert a state department into a com-
munity of graziers. It was pronounced successful in all
respects; and judging from one important criterion, the
money test, HER MAJESTY'S most honourable board of Land
Commissioners are entitled to the credit which attaches to
successful "feeding." The stock exposed consisted of seventy-
three superior horned Scotch oxen, " rising five" as the stock
catalogue phrases them, eighteen of which were fit for the
butcher. These seventy-three beasts realized the large sum of
£1,250. After this display, who shall declare in his place in
Parliament or elsewhere, that "the right men have not got
into the right place," in the Land Revenue Commission ?
Such thrift pervading this great department will in all proba-
bility stimulate it in others ; notwithstanding the cogency of
such an expectation, there are not wanting those who whisper
in reference to this as well as other popular displays of public
economy, "all is not gold that glitters," and, in the homely
phraseology of the great Pennsylvanian printer, it is suspected
that in this instance the Commissioners may have "paid too
dear for their whistle."
From one branch of the public administration to another
the transition is easy at all times, if not in every instance
natural ; and from the great park at Windsor the step, on
paper at all events, is but a trivial one, which lands us in the
Home-office. Here we at once come upon proceedings of a
different character ; and to some it may appear more in
keeping with official dignity than entering the competitive
lists with successful exhibitors at cattle-shows. It must be
fresh in the recollection of all HER MAJESTY'S well-disposed
subjects, that a week or two ago three revolutionary propa-
gandists, who, after issuing a printed address, counselling
assassination as a means of politically regenerating Europe,
and publishing an insulting letter addressed to the QUEEN,
were indignantly spurned from the island of Jersey. Equally
vivid must also be the recollection that, after their ignomi-
nious expulsion from that asylum, thirty-five of their coad-
jutors and admiring associates prepared, and signed, and pro-
mulgated, an audacious declaration in relation to that event.
In this declaration these abettors of murder and admirers of
assassination—among whom are included the " famous
romancer," VICTOR HUGO, and his sons—not only justified
the audacious letter, but, in the strongest terms their some-
what emphatic vocabulary could furnish, they denounced the
people of Jersey, reviled the English Government, and defied,
while they traduced, the EMPEROR of the FRENCH, conclud-
ing their doughty rigmarole with the insolent and sneering
adjuration—" Now, banish us !" The document having been
brought under the notice of HER MAJESTY'S vigilant Home-
Secretary, he, after a slight season of dozing, took the
haughty refugees at their word, and issued peremptory orders
for their extrusion from the island. This order has been
enforced, and, mirabile, the ringleaders, if not the whole fra-
ternity, of the revolutionary exodus, have squatted down upon
their injured honour, to assuage their outraged sensibilities
in the adjacent island of Guernsey. Whether, in this new
retreat, they will again so deport themselves as to call forth
once more the remonstrances of these loyal islanders, whom
they have constituted their involfintary hosts, it is, of course,
impossible to say ; but if they do, even the somnolency of
Downing-street will scarcely •be a sufficient wgis to shield
them from the just resentment o f the British people, long-
suffering though they are in extending the imaginary right;
of national hospitality.
The past week has been one fertile in topics for grave dis-
cussion in the clubs. Ministerial shifts—l had nearly written
dodges—and quasi official rumours of different kinds have
kept the " button-holders" of the club-saloons in a state of
active mental oscillation. Combined with-these have been out-
spoken declarations, and more alarming and portentous
because less understood inuendoes relative to our state of
amicable arrangements with those " tarnation smart" poli-
ticians who rule the roast in Yankee-land. Any, or all, of these
subjects, taken seriatum, would have formed admirable topics
for consideration, and might not have proved too heavy for the
stomachs of those political epicures, the delicacy of whose
organization is overwhelmed by such un embarras des riehesses
The Cabinet vacancy, occasioned by the death of SirWILLIAM
MOLESWORTH, has, for the last few days, been quite as great a
difficulty with the club distributors of office as it is said to have
proved in higher quarters. Among the leading luminaries
of the ministerial system Lord JOHN RUSSEL has been spoken
of, but he is still reckoned so erratic a political comet, that his
influence is dreaded within the perturbed sphere of Cabinet
action ; and as a prevailing opinion exists in the ministerial
mind that both his lordship and the PREMIER are charged with
negative electricity, generated by the rubs and buffets they
have mutually given and sustained, any attempt to bring them
together must prove abortive, without the intervention of a
positive, (goose ?) who would, of course, inevitably perish in
the explosive adjustment of the volatile fluid. The name of
Lord ELGIN has been mentioned, 'apparently by some one
deeply read in the " Art oflngeniously Tormenting." His lord-
ship's known performances in the colonial line being so an-
tagonistic to the club notions of a colonial secretary,
that they cannot see the chance of administrative co-
operation between him and those at present located in
the easy-chairs of Downing-street, while his qualifications
for any other Ministerial position are so remote that
no club lorgnette of sufficient power has yet been discovered to
bring them and possession into the field of view at the same
time. In desperation, Mr. LOWE has been spoken of, but his
Australian reminiscences are presumed to be of too recent, and
his displays connected therewith of too dazzling a lustre to
make that a safe or practical game. The Duchy of Lancaster
has been once more alluded to as a budding-bed whence a
recently-struck statesman might be transplanted with advan-
tage, and the Earl of HARROWDY, who, while representing
Liverpool, must necessarily have acquired some commercial
knowledge of colonial matters, is by more than one of the Club
oracles pointed to as the " coming man" who is to wield colo-
nial sway. This rumour connects itself also with a singular
letter penned by Lord STANLEY to Sir W. JONES, as chairman
of an educational meeting, and read by Capt. TOWNSHEND in-
that capacity at Fakenham on Thursday evening. The Del-
phic oracles of old are supposed to have derived their chief
value from the great number of plausible interpretations
which could be readily put upon them ; and the Sibyline books
to have owed their principal virtue to the fact that while a
considerable number of them were destroyed, the remainder
continued of undiminshed value. Lord STANLEY, it is under.
stood, has been of late improving his mind by oriental travel,
and whether he has discovered the recipe for concocting oracles
which shall express any meaning the listener chooses to at-
tach to them, or has accidentally stumbled upon the rule for
compounding Sibyline books, it is no easy matter to conjecture;
but if the note in question be an average specimen of his let -
ter-writing, the sublime art of mystification seems in a fair
way of showing a spirited revival in his hands. Every body
is familiar with the chapter of the celebrated novelist,
entitled " An explanation in which nothing is explained."
Such is precisely the character of Lord STANLEY'S
letter. It literally contains an infinite deal of nothing; and
suppose the beginning, or the middle, or the end were taken
away from it, the remainder would still be of as much value
as the whole ! and that remainder or that whole would still
express any meaning the listener chose to put upon it. So
adroit a specimen of epistolary composition naturally arrested
the attention of the Times, and that adept in the science of
any or no meaning soon fitted the missive with an interpre-
tation suited to its own views. Donning its conjuror's cap, and
assuming the most imposing of its sonorous tones, it thus
delivered itself in relation to the awful document : " We
believe it is not impossible that Lord STANLEY may become a
member of the present Government." Having contributed so
much to the general stock of information on so important a
point, the'demonstrative JUPITER, wrapping himself closely up
in his robe of mystery, retired to the highest pinnacle of his
political Olympus, whence he has not since deigned to look
out, leaving the wondering world in puzzled admiration of so
sage a commentary. Those who make less pretence, affirm
that some proposition has been made to Lord STANLEY in
relation to the Duchy of Lancaster ; and the Globe, the
official organ of the Government, without committing itself to
any specific prOposition, or condescending upon any particular
office, contents itself with saying the impression intended to
be conveyed by the Times is without adequate foundation.
From this one is led to infer that the Globe has penetrated
the meaning of the Times, although, for reasons best known
to itself, it does not choose to communicate that meaning.
Another subject, and one of much more grave importance
than any mere ministerial shuffle, or Cabinet disruption, has
occupied a large proportion of the public consideration
during the past week, and that is the lowering cemplexion of
our political relations with the United States of America.
For a protracted period, extending now over several years, a
feeling of dissatisfaction has been operating in America
against the mutually friendly and profitable relations which
have subsisted between that country and Great Britain,
True enough, the feeling referred to exists chiefly, if it
be not entirely, confined to that section of American
politicians whose schemes of restless territorial aggrandisement
render them dangerous citizens and false friends. Who in
point of fact find the unjustifiable projects which they enter-
thin against their neighbours' property most severely checked
by British policy, most sharply rebuked by British morality.
This is the class known as the filibustering adventurers, who
acknowledge no soil sacred but their own, and who look,
notwithstanding their outrageous pretensions to political
liberality, more hopefully to the aid of Russian despotism
for carrying out their schemes than to the generous alliance
of a free and intelligent people. That such is the -character
of those who seek to disturb the relations of amity- between
this country and the United States, is unfortunately no mat-
ter of real safety; nor,is its undeniable truth even a matter
entirely of congratulation. While the intelligence and wealth
of the. United States are unquestionably with us, numerous
little points of difference have been allowed to grow up in
'our intercourse, which, had they been attended to at the
outset, would have been easily adjusted; but which, having
been allowed to lie over from their innate insignificance, have
unhappily acquired such a susceptibility of tiMplitude, that
in the hands of unscrupulous and designing men they have
been made to assume an importance Sin .:their pretended
number, which is sufficient to give those malcOrstente a means
of seriously annoying their better disposed countrymen, and
materially damaging our interests. To these must be added
the extraordinary:executive blunder of our attempting, covertly,
to recruit for our Foreign Legion in the United States. The
proceedings in thii case have been so notoriously reprehensible,
that our Foreign Secretary, the Earl of CLARENDON, has
been constrained to admit the illegality which our agents
have been guilty of, and, more humiliating still, to make a
virtue of necessity, by renouncing those means of accomplish-
ing his ends in that country which would have been per-
fectly in accordance with the laws of nations. Such is
the unfortunate disadvantage of trusting to expediency,
instead of relying on principles of international law and
justice. That any serious rupture with the American
Republics is imminent at the present time, no one cognisant
of the facts is prepared to believe. ' The act which should
kindle the torch of war between the two countries is too ob-
viously the work of insanity on either side to admit of a ready
belief in its occurrence. Still the existence of jarring feeling,
more particularly at the present moment, is to strengthen the
hands of our enemies, while we weaken the resources of our
friends ; and it should never be forgotten that every recur-
rence of these jars is a further playing into the hands of our
enemies. The importance of our amicable relations with
America is easily perceived by the alacrity with which even a
threatened rupture of it has been taken up. The nation, we
are told on good authority, "drifted" into the Turko-Russian
war ; no danger of us drifting into a war with our transat-
lantic brethern. If ever that unfortunate event should occur,
which heaven avert, the nation will ring with it from side to
side before a step so fatal to the interests of the human race
shall be adopted. Its causes will be deliberately and carefully
considered; and, if after that, an appeal to the last dread
arbitrement of arms should be inevitable, both parties will
buckle on their armour with the stern resolve of champions,
who know the arduous nature of the struggle they engage in.
No:accident or chance-medley melee will engage either side, so
far as to prevent an easy adjustment of differences. If the
sword should ever be drawn in such an unhappy contest, it
will not be till some real and tangible ground shall have been
shown for such an unhappy contention. Still, both sides
would do well to keep a bridle on their tongues, and to watch
well the tendency of their respective acts. Strife is easily
kindled, but it is no easy matter to controul, if once the con-
flagration is commenced.
However forbidding the aspect of war may be, the part of
men who have embarked in it is to look its evils sternly in
the face; and, seeing these, to try, if possible, and extract
such consolation as may be got from them. Looked at in this
light, the present struggle in which we are engaged, arduous
although it no doubt is, continues to afford hope of a success-
ful and not distant termination.— On numerous points victory
still sits upon and gives prosperity to our arms; each new
advantage paving the way to further and yet more conclusive
successes. By sea and by land the forces of the Allies press
more home upon the resources of the enemy. Our fleets and
armies are in high health and spirits, and flushed by success
are still eager for the conflict; the enemy pent up in many
places, in all removed from easily afforded succour, seems
yielding gradually to the destiny he cannot conquer or avert.
In such a position it is gratifying to observe that the national
spirit rises with the exigencies required of it ; and despite the
paltry and pitiful• arts of those who, from a conscientious
weakness, or for the purposes of base political intrigue, would
sully the honour of our arms or stigmatise our counsels as
pusillanimous, is still resolved to continue the strife till it can ;
be closed in an honourable and lasting peace.
The campaign in the Crimea seems now about terminated
for this year ; and, from the precautions used, there is every
reason to anticipate that the next season's operations will be
Commenced under auspices more cheering than those which
harbingered that which is about to be concluded. A peculiar,
if not absolutely gratifying, feature in the present position of
affairs, is the retirement of General SIMPSON, and the appoint-
ment of a new general to command the British army in the
Crimea. Official men of all grades, and red-tapists of every
degree' of intensity, have told us, times without number, and
day after day, that we, as a nation, have invariably been unfor-
tunate at the commencement of a war —that, in fact, the lion
requires to be well beaten before he will put forth his strength.
Whether this be true of the nation or not, it seems unques-
tionably true of those who govern it. Ministers, whether
conveying compliments or administering rebukes, appear to be
equally mal-adroit and unfortunate; and the case in hand af-
fords no relief to the unpleasant aspect of the dreary picture
which their proceedings have all along presented. In the recal
or retirement of General SIMPSON, they have acted in a manner
which lays them open to grave suspicion as connivers at the
disparagement' of their own chosen servant. In the ap-
pointment of his successor their conduct seems singu-
larly exposed to misconstruction, if not deserving of the se-
verest condemnation. Not because there is any reasonable
ground for doubting the courage or capacity of Sir WILLIAM
CODRINGTON; but because prior to his appointment they
tacitly acquiesced in an implied impeachment of both.
General CODRINONTON is comparatively a young officer ;—so
much the better, say not a few of our pseudo-military critics,
and probably they are right—but while juvenility is no
enhancement of legitimate pretence, the circumstances attend-
ing its advancement may be seriously detrimental. Sir W.
CODRINGTON'S experience of actual soldiership is understood
to be almost confined to his military service in the Crimea,
and there his general services are known to be of a most com-
mendable character ; at the Alma he greatly distinguished
himself by his intrepid courage and cool bravery, which
enabled him not only to acquit himself manfully, but which
contributed in an eminent degree to the full success of that
great victory. In the heady and spirit-trying strife of Inker-
man he was also distinguished for the fearlessnessof his courage,
his intrepid valour, and the placid coolness of his judgment,
which again contributed largely in fixing the opposition and
securing the victory of that vital and sternly-contested field.
By these and many other feats besides, he has been favourably
known to his countrymen in their greedy studies of those
deeds of daring which have immortalised our army ; but in
active warfare, it is the soldier's glory or misfortune, as the
case may happen, that the last achievement, at least for the
time being, eclipses all its predecessors. In the case of General
CODRINGTON, his last recorded act was his command of the
unsuccessful attack upon the Redan, on the Bth of September
last. Since that time to the present, his conduct on that
occasion has been the topic of free and not very complimentary
comment. In the published despatch of General SrmrsoN, no
explanation of his equivocal position is made. No step was
taken subsequently by' the Commander-in-Chief, or failing
him, by the Government, to clear up the unpleasant
mystery which hung about that dire event. Without
doubt, ample means were in possession of General Snarsox
and the government also, effectually to remove any mark for
obloquy upon his name and conduct ; but minister and gene-
ral both remained silent, and the public drew an inference
from that silence which was not favourable. Under such cir-
cumstances, it is not singular to find the general feeling one of
wonder that General CODRINGTON should be appointed suc-
cessor to General SIMPSON. Those fully informed upon the
subject were aware that in the last as in his previous instances
of distinguished service General CODRINGTON did all that
could be done in the circumstances ; knew that his plans were
carefully prepared and skilfully as well as daringly carried
into execution; and the charge now is that all this knowledge
was concealed, that a gallant soldier and a skilful leader was
left open to attack as a bungler and poltroon. No fault as far
as present circumstances tend to show can be found with his
promotions ; severe reprehension is deservedly bestowed on
those who tacitly acquiesced in censure which a breath could
have removed ; and every one feels that to have subjected their
generalissimo to undeserved detraction was a villanous pre-
parative to futuie advancement. That Sir WILLIAM COD-
EINGTON -Will acquit himself nobly and well in his exalted
position, there, is not the slightest reason to doubt ; his ante-
cedents are all in favour of such a presumption; but he will
not have to thank his ministerial friends for any prestige which
they have thrown around him.
Rumour is once more busy in settling the affairs of state
in martial and in diplomatic matters. Sir HAMILTON SET.
mous supersedes the Earl of WESTMORELAND as British
Ambassador at Vienna ; with this move, the soothsayers,
who see marvels through millstones, profess to connect im-
portant diplomatic manoeuvres, and placing the finger on the
compressed lip, like the author of " Douglas," endeavour to
impose "silence with a stilly sound." Another of the vagrant
oracles, which float for ever in a courtly atmosphere, has it
that the Horse Guards will speedily present the highest
vacancy. In other words, that Viscount HABDINGE is about
to resign the office of Commander-in-Chief, which the same
veracious chronicler avers will be bestowed upon the Duke of
CAMBRIDRE. Who holds the mirror of CADWALLADER up to
the horizon of such high events, it is no easy matter to
determine, but no harm can accrue from taking a sidelong
peep at that picture of the future has presented on its surface.
CASTLE-STREET WARD.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD.
&11,—Our Radical friends do not like the loss of their
"Gibraltar ;" and the quiet way in which the victory was won
appears to have made them ridiculously vituperative.
The Journal appears to be the only Radical writer who had
common sense at his command, and yet he seems to think, in
his "Talk," that Mr. Livingston ought to have gone round
the town to raise up an opposition to his own return !
Mr. Livingston, no doubt, accepted the pressing call of his
friends to stand, but he left his cause in their hands, and in-
deed was in London, I understand, up to the day of election.
The business was done by those interested in a business way,
and our Radical purity men ought to be delighted that no
canvassing, treating, or other naughty practices were-adopted.
Avison and Livingston were on a par in this respect, but
the tact and energy of Mr. Livingston's friends gave the
finishing-stroke to the victory.
Mr. Avison has chosen in his address to speak of the
electors turning him out by a "discreditable manceuvre."- I
hope the electors will remember his words ; they do not ap-
pear remarkable for modesty, for it supposes they had no right
to do so.
Mr. Avison might fancy himself Prince Gartschakoff for a
moment, and ask whether he- could be foolish enough to ex-
pect that the French ought to have blown the trumpet before
they rushed upon the'Malakhoff ?* How absurd!
The Radicals have lost their Malakhoff; or, if they please,
their Gibraltar—and "there's the rub." They were fairly
beaten,. and they have been taught that the freemasonry of
electioneering can be practised by Tories, with crowning suc-
cess. Let the Reform Association sanction its Secretary's
projects of objecting to Tory Aldermen, on purpose to throw
them off' by this shabby trick, and next year they may be
taught a lesson another way.—Yours, truly,.

THE EXPEDITION TO TAMAN.
The London Gazette also contains the copy of a despatch
from Admiral Lyons enclosing the copy of a letter from Capt.
Robert Hall, of the Miranda, senior officer in the Straits of
Kertch, detailing the proceedings of an Anglo-French naval
and military expedition to Taman and Fanagoria on the 24th
of September, for the purpose of depriving the enemy of his
means of sheltering troops in the ensuing winter, and in order
to procure materials for housing our troops at Cape St. Paul's
and Yenikale. Also a copy of a letter from Captain Osborn,
of the Vesuvius, detailing the proceedings of an Anglo-French
attack on Temriouk, which, by previous arrangement, was
made simultaneously with that on Taman and Fanagoria.
Both expeditions were conducted in a most satisfactory man-
ner, and were accomplished with the loss of only one man
wounded. Three of the 71st Regiment and three of the
(French) Infantry of the Marine were taken prisoners, in con-
sequence of their own imprudence.

BROMLEY'S PATENT EMPIRE SOAP,
which heretofore has been difficult tole obtained, as very
few of the grocers will keep it. To use their own words, by way
of explanation, they state,—" Were we to lay it, it would reduce
our sales fully one third, ai two pounds of the Empire Soap will
go as far as three pounds of any other soap; we should also lose
our profit on soda and washing powders, as neither of these
articles are required when the Empire Soapis used, in either the
hardest water or in sea water." What the/rocers are displeased
at in this soap is its strongest recommendation to the notice of
the large consumers, private families, hotel keepers, laundresses,
&c. It only requires to be used with a ligit hand. And besides
the above advantage it saves half the usual labour, consequently
less friction and wear in the clothes, aril will not injure the
colours in the most delicate prints ; and is equally valuable for
every other domestic purpose, even for tolet use, as it is a pure
soap, free from rosin and other useless ngredients, which not
only add unnecessary weight to the soap but detract from its
cleansing properties.
To be had wholesale at the Works, No, 22, Cherry-lane, and
from the following dealers :—Mr. Edward Davies, chandler, No.

I_ESTIMONIAL TO THE LATE YEN.
ARCHDEACON BROOKS.
ON Friday last, a numerously attended and influential
meeting was held in the Sessions-house, to take into considera-
tion the propriety of erecting some public testimonial in com-
memoration of the late Ven. Archdeacon Brooks. The meeting
was called by the Mayor, in compliance with a requisition,
numerously and most respectably signed, expressive of the
general desire entertained for such a proceeding. His worship
the Mayor presided, and among those present were W. Brown,
Esq., M.P,, J. C. Evart, Esq., M.P., John Moss, Esq., (Otters-
pool,) Joseph Pollock, Esq., Rev. Rector Campbell, Rev. Dr.
M`Neile, Rev. W. Pollock, Rev. J. S. Howson, R. Horsfall,
Esq., A. Waln, Esq., J. H. Turner, Esq., J. B. Lloyd, Esq.,
T. D. Anderson, Esq., F. Shand, Esq., J. Tyrer, Esq., T. Sands,
Esq., Major Bourne, Rev. Dr. Barry, Rev. J. R. Conor, C. B.
Barclay, Esq., C. Bushell, Esq., Rev. Dr. Raffles, Rev. Dawson
W. Turner, Churchwarden Woodruff, &c., &e., &C.
His worship the Mayor expressed the gratification he ex-
perienced in presiding over a meeting having such an object
in view as that of erecting some testimonial to the memory of
the late Ven. Archdeacon Brooks. He having been for more
than half a century iu the ministry, was well known to every
individual in this town. (Hear, hear.) Who was there among
the rich that ever had occasion to consult him—as I very fre-
quently had— who did not find him a most judicious adviser ?
(Hear, hear.) Who was there amongst the poor who did not
always meet from him a kindly welcome, a ready hand,
and a willing heart? (Hear, hear.) His active zeal to the
last day of his life in behalf of our local charities, and the long
desire of his heart to see the light of the Gospel carried into
the dark and dreary districts of the town, where vice, im-
morality, and crime had long held undisputed sway, testified to
the active liberality and Christian benevolence of his character.
(Cheers.) In a town like this, where there is so much difference
of religious opinion, it is most gratifying to see men of all
religious denominations coming forward to join in paying a
tribute of respect to the memory of the " good old man"—
(hear, hear)—whose life proved that the Gospel which he
preached was, indeed, a gospel of peace and good will to men.
(Hear, hear.) Let us hope that his example will not be lost
upon us, but, realising the words selected by the Lord Bishop
of Chester as the text for his funeral sermon, let us Teel that
" he being dead yet speaketh."
Letters of apology for non-attendance, but expressive of
sympathy with the objects of the meeting, were read from T.
B. Horsfall, Esq., M.P., from Mr. Alderman S. Holme, from
W. Thornely, Esq., M.P., and from John Rosson, Esq.
Mr. W. BROWN, M.P., said he felt much gratification in
being privileged to propose the first resolution for the adoption
of the meeting. He entered at considerable length into a
eulogy of the numerous virtues, private and public, which had
throughout his long life distinguished the late Venerable
Archdeacon. As a magistrate, and in the discharge of the
important duties of chairman of quarter sessions, he was
probably unequalled. This had been honourably testified to
on the preceding day by the magistrates assembled, in quarter
sessions, and by the members of the bar, who, by their leader
Mr. Monk, expressed in touching language the feeling of
regret entertained by that body in the death of the Arch-
deacon. As a clergyman he was an honour to his profession ;
and in his labours on behalf of the numerous public charities
were to be found the most unquestionable evidence of his
Christian benevolence. He concluded by moving,—" That
this meeting deeply lament the death of Archdeacon Brooks,
and feel it their duty to propose a public memorial of such a
value as may testify the regret of the whole community for
the loss of a man whose whole life was devoted to the public
service." (Heae, hear.)
Mr. WOODRUFF, one of the churchwardens, seconded the
resolution, which was unanimously adopted.
Mr. JOHN Moss (Otterspool), in proposing the second reso-
lution, said :—Fully concurring in all that has been said with
respect to the merits and character of our late friend, I might
commence by stating that he was my most intimate friend for
more than fifty years. He and I commenced life not exactly
together, but very nearly, and during these fifty years of con-
tinued friendship, both as magistrates, and in every other po-
sition in which we were thrown together, I can truly say, from
my experience, that a more useful or benevolent man never
existed. I would say he was the friend of every class and every
denomination. (Cheers.) Now, what are we to do to honour
his memory, and to tell to future generations who and what
lie was? It does occur to me and to some other gentlemen
that we cannot do better than recommend for your adoption
the erection of a statue. (Hear, hear.) We have in the town
of Liverpool, owing to the liberality of the Corporation, one of
the most splendid halls in Europe, and it appears to me that
we cannot do better than place our friend's statue in that hall,
alongside the memorials of the great men, some of which are
there already, and of which others are to follow. (Hear, hear.)
I hope to see other statues there —so that the time may come
when our St. George's-hall,,like Westminster Abbey, may have
suitable monuments to our great men departed. (Hear, hear.)
• It is on this account I am particularly anxious that a statue
should be erected to the memory of our friend, and placed, with
, the consent of the Corporation, in a niche of St. George's-hall.
I should myself have been very glad to see erected to the good
man's memory something more useful to the town ; but it is
desirable that the memorial should be a something that could
not give offence to any one, and which would gratify every
subscriber; and, as it is desirable, too, that the smallest sums
should be taken, with a view of showing the general concur-
rence and good feeling in the object, I think there could be
no better appropriation than the proposed statue. There are

Archdeacon—and I am sure, looking to the Savings Bank and
the other various societies in which he took a leading part, we
shall get such a sum as will do credit to all. Under these cir-
cumstances, I beg to move that, in furtherance of the resolu-
tion just passed, a marble statue be erected, with permission
the lof the Town Council, in St. George's-hall, to the memory of
late Venerable Archdeacon Brooks. I hope that this sug-
gestion will meet the approval of the meeting, and that,
adopted here, it may be carried out with befitting energy and
spirit. (Cheers.)
Mr. J.C.Ewa RT., M.P., who was received with loud applause,
said—The object of this meeting has already been brought
fully before you, and it is scarcely necessary for me to say a
word. But, I have a melancholy gratification, in attending
here on this occasion, to allude to the many services of our
moat excellent archdeacon, who is now lost to us. After a
long and useful life, he has been summoned to another and,
let us hope, to a better world, amid the regrets of his many
friends, and the respect, I am sure, of the whole community
(hear, hear). Attached to a particular party in the state, he
never allowed his party feeling to interfere with his private
friendships • and in times of political excitement, when bad
passions shone out in all their sad deformity, he practised
only Christian forbearance and Christian charity (hear, hear).
By the poor he will be long remembered, and I may say, by a
large portion of this great community, amongst whom I am
sure he never had a single enemy (hear, hear). Sir, it would
but ill accord with my feelings to say anything which might
appear to be fulsome praise of our late excellent friend ; and
cordially agreeing as I do with my friend Mr. Moss, in the
resolution he has just proposed, I have great pleasure in
seconding it, and in expressing a hope that it may be one of
the many worthies which we may see filling the niches of the
grand hall (applause).
Before the resolution was put,
The Rev. DAWSON TURNER suggested that, in the event of
any surplus remaining after the object contemplated by the
resolution had been attained, it might be worthy of considera-
tion whether it would not be desirable to fOund medals, to be
competed for every year by Liverpool youths of all classes,
under 19 years of age, educated in any school whatever, or at
home—the examiners to be appointed by the Town Council,
but, of course, not to be persons of the town. (Hear, hear.)
The resolution was then put, and carried unanimously.
The Rev. Rector CAMPBELL said,—Mr. Mayor, under the
impression that this was intended to be a movement of the
laity, and a spontaneous expression of their respect and esteem
for a man who so highly deserved it, it was my intention not
to have taken any part in the proceedings of the day. In
deference, however, to the wishes of those who are entitled
to my deference—and in order not to show any coldhearted-
ness in a cause in which my feelings and affections are deeply
enlisted—the purpose of paying respect to the memory of my
highly-valued and deeply-lamented friend —1 have great
pleasure in moving that a committee be appointed to carry out
the resolutions which have already been unanimously passed.
(Hear.) In proposing this resolution, perhaps I may be per-
mitted to say that, if my own individual preferences were to
interfere, I confess that, looking at the character of the man,
I should prefer, as Mr. Moss has said, something useful, in
preference to what is merely ornamental. (Hear, hear.)
There are many other reasons, no doubt, which may make
this the best mode of testifying our respect. On such occa-
sions unanimity is absolutely necessary—(hear, hear)—and
our dear friend was a man who made himself acceptable to
all classes—to persons of all religious, of all political opinions.
(Hear, hear.) It is absolutely necessary, therefore, that all
should have an opportunity of contributing to this testimonial
—if they think proper to contribute—as far as lies in their
el. 0z...., an, r.. 11 aua C, u .• out.. Ce 01 cab
satisfaction to us all, to see his venerable form perpetuated by
a marble statue in St. George's-hall—(Hear, hear)—the first
of those Liverpool worthies, who, no doubt, in after times will
ornament that hall in a similar way. (Hear.) I need not
speak of him in that public character in which you all knew
him and delighted to honour him ; but perhaps I may be per-
mitted to say a few words with respect to the private virtues
of the friend whom I have lost, and whose private virtues no
man was better able to appreciate than myself.. (Hear.) For
thirty years I lived in uninterrupted friendship with him —in
the perpetual sunshine of unalterable friendship. During
that time not a. single angry word, not a single angry look,
ever passed between us. (Hear, hear.) I conscientiously
ascribe the merit of this—if merit there be—not to myself,
unless it were the merit of appreciating his character, but to
his temper, which it was impossible to ruffle. (Hear, hear,
hear.) He was a man with whom it was impossible to
quarrel, however disposed you might be to do it. In
the first commencement of our career together—which
we ran, as I have told you, for more than thirty years
—I was told that I would have to deal with a somewhat
overbearing man, who would let me have very little of my
own way. I prepared myself for this. I knew that subordi-
nation was a virtue of the Church militant, and that sub-
mission was a Christian excellency, and I prepared myself for
endurance in the stern path of duty. But in a very little
time I found that I had mighty little to endure. I never met
with a man more gentle, more patient, more easy to be en-
treated, more inclined to defer to the opinions of others, nor
one with whom I could act more cordially on all occasions.
(Hear, hear.) It certainly did happen that upon all great
points of interest which are apt to agitate the clerical mind
we were cordially agreed. (Hear, hear.) He was anxious, as
I was, to take the middle path, and to avoid every extreme.
We had no leaning towards Rome, or towards Geneva ; we had
no predilection either for flowers or candlesticks ; and, fortu-
nately, we bad not the slightest inclination to quarrel with
our brother clergy for any opinions that they might hold.
(Hear, hear.) We knew perfectly well that in a Protestant
country the Protestant mind would have its way, and we
granted to others the liberality which we claimed for ourselves.
With respect to our friends without the Church, it was our
anxious wish, while doing our duty faitfully to those who ad-
hered to the communion of the Church, to live in peace, and
amity, and friendship, with those whose consciences compelled
them to depart from her pale. (Hear.) We had very little

difficulty in doing this, because I must say, with the greatest

weigh the silver, the blood flew to his face, and
`he bid for the book at any price. At last came
.the turn for the chest to be sold. Michael
hemmed aloud, looked at his brother with an air
of defiance, and instantly bid a considerable sum.
Conrad quickly bid a florin more, without raising
his eyes, and all the while counting the buttons
on his jacket. But Michael, looking boldly around,
bid-still higher. No other person advanced more ;
but out of bravado neither of the brothers would
let the other have the thing in dispute : more- I
over, each thought to himself that he should only
have to pay the half, and so went on bidding
higher and higher. At length the chest was
knocked down to Conrad for eight-and-twenty
florins, more than five times its worth.
For the first time Conrad now raised his eyes,
and his look was quite altered ; he cast a scorn-
ful glance at Michael, and, trembling with rage,
exclaimed, " When you die, I'll make you a pre-
sent of the chest for a coffiin !" These were the
last words he spoke to hiM for fourteen years.
The story of the chest soon spread through the
village, and became the subject of general raillery
andjokes. When any one met Conrad, he re-
marked how shamefully Michael had behaved;
and the former worked himself up by degrees
into a fury. The two brothers were of very
different dispositions, and each pursued his own
way in life. Conrad kept a cow, which he used
to yoke with his neighbour Christian's cow for
field work ; whilst in his spare time he broke
stones on the roads, for which he was paid six-
pence a day. He was very short-sighted and
walked unsteadily ; and whenever he struck a
spark to light his pipe, he held the tinder close
to his nose, to make sure that it was alight ; so,
throughout the village he went by the name of
" Blind Conrandle."
Michael was the very reverse of his brother ;
he was tall and slim, and walked with a firm step,
carrying himself with all the air of a peasant ;
not that he was one exactly, but it,was useful to
him in his trade to appear so. He dealt in old
horses, and people have a much greater confi-
dence in a horse which they purchase from a fel-
low in a smock-frock. Michael had once been a
farrier, but was unlucky in business ; so he
either sold or let his fields, gave himself up to
horse-dealing, and lived the life of a gentleman.
He was a person of great importance throughout
the country ; for a distance of six or eight—miles
round he knew the exact state of all the stables,
just as well as a statesman knows the statistics of
foreign countries, and the position of different
cabinets ; and as the latter learns the disposition
of the people through the public journals, so
Michael sounded the country folks, and got at
his information in the public-houses. In every
village, too, he had some idle fellow as his resi-
dent, with whom he held frequent secret con-
ferences, and who in all cases of need used to
despatch an
_express—in his own person--to
leg
good luck, six florins." Conrad, short-sighted
as he was, noticed his brother's scornful look,
and worked away, banging' and splitting the
stones till they flew right and left. We shall see,
however, which got on best in. the world. Michael
was a great favourite in the Village, for he could
go on. telling tales from morning till night, and
knew all the tricks and ways of the world. Of
better things he certainly knew little ; for, though
he occasionally went to church, he went, as too
many do, without giving a thought to what he
heard, and without bettering his life.
Conrad, too, had his faults, foremost amongst
which was his enmity to his brother, and the
manner in which he showed this. When any one
asked him,. " flow does your brother Michael go
on ?" he only answered by making a sign with
his hand under his chin, as much as to say,
" Some day or other he will he hanged !" The
folks were of course not sparing in putting this
question, and a great shout always followed when
they got Conrad' to give his usual reply. In
other ways, too, the villagers excited the mutual
enmity of the brothers, not exactly out of malice,
but for idle fun.
The brothers never remained together in the
same room ; if they chanced to meet in the village
inn, or in their sister's house, one of them in-
stantly hurried away. Nobody thought of recon-
ciliation between them, and, whenever two men
quarrelled, it was a proverbial saying, " They
lived like Michael and Conrad."
At home the brother spoke not a word, nor did
they ever look at one another when they met.
Nevertheless, if either of them observed that the
other was unwell and kept his bed, he would in-
stantly run to his sister, who lived at some dis-
tance, and say to her, "Go up, and see him ; I
think somethinc, is the matter with him." And
on his return home, he would move about and
work quietly and without noise, so as not to dis-
turb the . other. But abroad, and among the
neighbours, Michael and Conrad lived in perpe-
tual enmity, and no one imagined that a spark
of affection still existed in their hearts.
This state of things continued for fourteen
years. Meanwhile, by constantly buying and
selling, all the money which Michael gained from
the sale of his two fields had slipped through his
fingerS, he knew not how. But Conrad had
bought'another field from a neighbour who was
about to emigrate, and had paid nearly all the
purchase-money. Michael now set up as a kind
of agent or adviser to other people in making
their bargains, and he calculated that, by the sale
of another field, he should bring matters round,
and set himself up in business again. "And
there arose up a new king in Egypt." The vil-
lagers of Nordstetten might, in a peculiar mariner,
apply this verse of Exodus to themselves. The
old parson was dead ; he had been a good man,
but had let things go their own way. His suc-
_ _ .
cessor, on the contrary, was a zealdui young man,
who was for setting everything to rights ; and
_
certainly he accomplished a great deal. One
Sunday, after morning service, the peasants were
sitting and chatting together on the timbers
which lay near the village pump, and which were
intended to build the new engine-house. Michael
was one of the group ; he sat, with his ,elbows
fixed on his knees, looking on the ground and.
chewing a straw. Little Peter, the son of John
the watchman, a boy of five years old, ran past,
when one of the villagers called to the child, and
said, putting his hand into his pocket, " Hon°,
Peter ! here's a handful of nuts for you, if you.
make a face like Conrad. What does Conrad do ?"
The child shook his head, and was running off;
for he was a sensible little urchin, and was afraid
of Michael ; but they held him fast, till at last he

BANKRUPTCY 'Coura.—Hugh Henry Ross,-of Liverpool,
linen-draper, came up on Saturday, before Mr. Commissioner
Perry, for judgment on the question of certificate, which had
been opposed on previous hearings on behalf of:the assignees,
on various groundc, including those of recklessly contracting
debts, and that his 'trade expenses were fictitious _and marked
with extravagance. His Honour, in giving judgment, having
referred to a previous bankruptcy no later than 3.853, which
terminated in a suspension of the certificate for twelve months,
said, after a careful consideration _of the evidence and of the
bankrupt's explanations, he could not place faith in the bank-
rupt's statements cs to his estate and effeets, andtherefore the
allowance of the certificate must be altogether refused. During
the hearing of the case, Mr. Bryce Smith, of Manchester, who
appeared under a-subpcena, obtained by the bankrupt, applied
to the court for his expenses, but his Honour declined to ac-
cede to the request,, on the ground that being the -bankrupt's
witness he should be paid by the bankrupt. It then trans-
pired that, at the :request of Mr. Smith's son, the bank-
rupt had given that person his I. 0. U. for the amount of the
expenses in attending the court.—John Strong, formerly
owner of a steam-tug, at Liverpool, also came up forjudgmeut
on the question of certificate. His Honour granted a third-
class certificate, subject to suspension for six months from the
present time, protection to be granted at the expiration of
one month.
THE REGISTRAR...GENERAL'S RETURN.—The lad quar-
terly return of the Registrar-general is, on the whole,. a very
favourable one. In the quarter ending June 30, there were
38,454 marriages registered, being 1,935 fewer than iin the
corresponding quarter of the previous year, when the number
was considerably above the average. In the quarter ...ending
September 40, 154,834:births were registered, being 90 .more
than in the summer quarter of 1854, and the number of deaths
was 87034, a rate of mortality which is, comparatively., :very
-kw: The natural increase of population in England .and
Wales in the three months was therefore 66,900, and in the
nine months it has been X 67,147. The number of emigrants
in the summer quarter was 44,698, nearly the same as in 1.847,
but riot one-half what it was in 1852. Of English emigrants
the number was 15,530, so-that the net increase of population
in the quarter was 51,370. The health of the towns exhibits
some improvement, but Ms far from being what it ought to
be, and would be, if due attention were paid to sanitary matters.
Liverpool and Manchester eXhibit signs of increased salubrity..
The Registrar remarks, that "if all the deaths of British
soldiers in the Crimea during the last three months were
added to the deaths in Englaud, the sum would be less by
-some 20,000 than the deaths registered in England during the
three summer months of 1854. More lives may be saved by
sanitary arrangements at home 'every year than have ever
perished abroad in the years of our greatest losses lb war."
DOCK COMMITTEE.—The weeLly meeting was held on
Thursday, Mr. Charles Turner in the chair. The tender of
Messes. G. H. and A. Hickman, of :the Bilston Brook Iron-
works, was accepted for about 500 tons.of railway bars.—The
Stanley Dock warehouse sub-committee recommended that
the one bay of the north stack of the Stanley Dock ware-
houses be enclosed with sliding doom, at .a cost of £350, ac-
cording to a plan produced. The recommendation was con-
.firmed.—The sub-committee reported that it had become
neceasary to nppnint a warehouse keeper, a warehouse clerk,
and a ledger clerk, for the south stack of warehouses at the
Stanley Dock, and they recommended thattbese appointments
should be made. Mr. Robinson said he thought the com-
mittee would be able to appoint persons out of their present
staff. The recommendation was confirmed.—A letter was
read from the surveyor, from which it appeared that the south
stack of the Stanley Dock warehouses would be ,qoaite com-
plete within four weeks from the present time.—The Chairman
read a letter from the Rev. T. Leicester, incumbent of St.
Mary's, Kirkdale, asking the Dock Committee to eontinue
the annual grant' of £5O for maintaining the 'services at the
chapel at the north shore, established for the religious in-
struction of labouring men employed in the north docks.
After some conversation the grant was directed to be
made. A letter from Messrs. Jacot, Taylor, and Tipper,
requesting a permanent berth for loading their ships
in the American trade, was referred to the Harbour-master's
Committee. The subjoined letter from Mr. John Laird was
read :—" Dear Sir,—ln Mr. Hartley's report on the proposed
amended plans for the completion of the Birkenhead Docks,
he alludes to my having attended with Mr. C. river and Mr.
Hamilton, at the request of the Dock Committee, to afford
information as to the requirements of large class steamers, &c.
When I attended the meeting I distinctly stated that any ex-
pression of opinion of mine in reference to the plans then
produced must only be considered a general one, and as having
reference to the following points :-Ist, that I approved the
principle adopted by Mr. Hartley of treating the great float as
a dock, with, as nearly as can be maintained, a permanent level;
the access to the great float being by means of a low-water
basin next the river, and of a half-tide basin between the low-
water basin and the float. 2nd, that if the Dock Com-
mittee decided that they would not provide a lock large
enough for the great steam-ship building by Messrs Scott
Russell, viz., about 750 feet long by 125 feet wide, I thought
they should have one lock 500 feet long, and 100 feet wide ;
one lock 400 feet long, and 55 feet wide; one for river craft
and coasters, 28 to 30 feet; and that the sills of all these locks
should be laid at a level of at least 12 feet below the old dock
sill. At the same meeting, on a discussion arising as to the
deepening of the great float, I expressed a strong opinion that
the present entrance through Morpeth Dock might be greatly
improved, so as to secure a good revenue to the corporation
pending the execution of the other works, and that (in order
to prevent the stoppage of trade at Birkenhead) the lower
portion of the great float should on no account be laid dry,
but that the increased depth required should be obtained by
dredging, and not by excavation ; also that the whole of these
works might be proceeded with at once, as they do not require
a new act of Parliament. As, from the discussion that took
place at the Dock COmmittee last Thursday, on the reading of
Mr. Hartley's report, I am represented (unintentionally, no
doubt) to have expressed my approbation of the altered plans
then submitted, although I have not yet seen them, you will
oblige me by laying this letter of explanation before the com-
mittee, at their next meeting.—The general business of the
committee then concluded.

of peers, and peeresses in plenty. The new princess
was led by the Duke of York and Prince William ; the
archbishop married them : the King talked to her the
whole time with great good humour; and the Duke of
Cumberland gave her away. Sheis not tall,nor a beauty;
pale, and very thin; but looks sensible, and is genteel.
.Her hair is darkish and fine ; her forehead low ; her
nose very well, except the nostrils spreading too wide ;
her mouth has the same fault, but her teeth are good.
She talks a good deal, and French tolerably ; possesses
herself, is frank, but with great respect to the King.
After the ceremony, the whole company came into the
drawing-room for about ten minutes, but nobody was
presented that night. The Queen was in white and
silver ; an endles mantle of violet-coloured velvet,
lined with ermine, and attempted to be fastened on
her shoulder by a bunch of large pearls, dragged itself
and almost the rest of her clothes half-way down her
waist. On her head was a beautiful little tiara ofdiamonds,
a diamond necklace, and a stomacher of diamonds,
worth three score thousand pounds, which she is to
wear at the coronation too. As supper was not ready,
the Queen sat down, sung, and played on the harpsi-
chord to the royal family, who all supped with her in
private. They talked of the different German dialects :
the King asked if the Hanoverian was not pure : " Oh,
no, sir," said the Queen, "it is the worst of all." She
will not be unpopular. The Duke of Cumberland told
the King that himself and Lady Augusta were sleepy.
The Queen was very averse to leave the company ;
and at last articled that nobody should accompany
her but the Princess of Wales, lind her own two
German women, and that nobody should be admitted
afterwards but the King. They did not retire till
between two and three.—Horace TValpole's Letters

THE PHENOMENA OF NATURAL AND OF HYPNOTIC
SLEEP.---In passing into common sleep objects are
perceived more and more faintly, the eyelids dose and
remain quiescent, and all the other organs of
convey
sense become gradually blunted, and cease to n
their usual impressions to the brain, the limbs become
flaccid from cessation of muscular tone and action, the
pulse and respiration become slower, the pupils are
turned upwards and inwards, and are contracted
(Muller). In the hypnotic state, induced with the view
of exhibiting what I call the hypnotic phenomena,
vision becomes more and more imperfect, the eyelids
are closed, but have for a considerable time a vibratory
motion (in some few they are forcibly closed, as by
spasm of the orbiculares) ; the organs of special sense,
particularly of smell, touch, and hearing, heat and cold,
and resistance, are greatly exalted, and afterwards
become blunted, in a degree far beyond the torpor of
natural sleep ; the pupils are turned upwards and in-
wards, but, contrary to what happens in natural sleep,
they are greatly dilated, and highly insensible to light;
after a length of time the pupils become contracted,
whilst the eyes are still insensible to light. The pulse
and respiration are, at first, slower than is natural, but
immediately on calling muscles into action, a tendency
to cataleptiform rigidity is assumed, with rapid pulse,
and oppressed and quick breathing. - The limbs are
thus maintained in a state of tonic rigidity for any
length of time I have yet thought it prudent to try,
instead of that state of flaccidity induced by common
sleep ; and the most remarkable circumstance is this,
that there seems to be no corresponding state of mus-
cular exhaustion from such action. In passing into
natural sleep, anything held in the hand is soon allowed
to drop from our grasp ; but, in the artificial sleep
now referred to, it will be held more firmly than before
falling asleep. This is a very remarkable dfference.
The power of balancing themselves is so great that I
have never seen one of these hypnotic somnambulists
fall. The same is noted of natural somnambulists.
This is a remarkable fact, and would appear to occur
in this way, that they acquire the centre of gravity, as
if by instinct, in the most natural, and therefore in
the most graceful manner ; and if allowed to remain
in this position, they speedily become cataleptiformly
and immoveably fixed. From observing these two facts,
and the general tendency and taste for dancing dis-
played by most patients on hearing lively music
during hypnotism, the peculiarly graceful and appro-
-priate movement of many when thus excited, and the
varied and elegant postures they may be made to
assume by slight currents of air, and the faculty of
retaining any position with so much ease, I have
hazarded the opinion, that the Greeks may have been
indebted to hyponotism for the perfection of their
ARD.

sculpture, and the Fakirs for their wonderful feats of
suspending their bodies by a leg or an arm. It thus
clearly appears that it differs from common sleep in
many respects, that there is first a state of excitement
as with opium, and wine, and spirits, and afterwards a
state of corresponding deep depression and torpor.--

A LION HUNT.—The following account of a " lion
hunt," which took place near Bloemfontein, Orange
River sovereignty, is from the pen of a settler there :
" We left Bloemfontein on Monday, for the purpose of
enjoying a week's sport on one of the farms of that
truly hospitable gentleman, Mr. A. H.B—, distant
from this about sixteen miles. Our party consisted of
six, principally officers in Her Majesty's service, and a
merrier one has seldom left Bloemfontein. We
reached our little camp at sunset, looking forward
with eager anticipation to the morrow, and with
reason, for how rarely it falls to the lot of any one to
see, much less to shoot, the noble animal we were in
quest of! The next morning was beautiful, but cold,
the pools being frozen. After breakfast our horses
were saddled, guns looked to, and the pack' being
called together, we started, beating the stony hills
that stretch away for many miles round that jolliest
of outposts, Bloemfontein. Many a mile we tra-
versed without seeing the noble game we sought, and
we had almost despaired of finding them that day,
when from the long grass up rose three wild boars,
and immediately after five lions and lionesses, truly a
splendid, and, to the sportsman, a thrilling sight.
They trotted majestically away ; but on being hotly
pursued, faced about. One of them, with her tail
whirling on high, made a few springs towards us ' -
but as we showed an imposing front, she stopped, and
the dogs brought her to bay. Several shots were
fired without effect, and she made alternate charges at
the place where the bullets struck and at the dogs,
who got out of the way fast enough. All this time
she kept making a low murderous growl, and as her
wrath increased, so did the impatient switching of her
tail. At last a lucky shot hit the shoulder, and she
charged viciously, nearly catching one of the dogs,
which howled in anticipation of his fate, Several well-
directed shots now struck her, and after a few more
short charges, and some desperate attempts to catch
one of the pack, she rolled over dead. The process
of skinning was soon completed, and we then went in
pursuit of the other four, who had managed to
conceal themselves in the long grass, and we were
thus unable to find them. We returned to camp at
sunset, passinc, large herds of quagga and blesbuck,
with which the plains abound, their number baffling
any attempt at computation. During the night, the
tyrants of the wilds' serenaded us, and from the
sounds we judged there were a goodly number of
them. However, although we -hunted most inde-
fatigably for three days, we were unable to find them.
Another day dawned, and again we scoured the plains,
passing a few dogs, wolves, ostriches, and a number
of jackals. On ascending a little hill, the hawk-eyed
Tottie saw three specks in the distance, which he un-
hesitatingly declared to be lions. Although we could
scarcely discern the objects he pointed out, away we
went in pursuit, and after a hard gallop got up to
them ; they immediately came to bay at some distance
from each other, and were attacking with right good
will ; one of them made a most determined effort to
catch one of the party, and, his horse being blown,
would most probably have succeeded, had not its at-
tention been diverted by the opportune arrival of
another gentleman, being only a few yards behind,
when it gave up the chase. While this little scene
was enacting one lucky shot killed the second, and
then we went after the third, which was slowly mak-
ing for an adjacent hill; hearing us in pursuit, it
turned round, and at once charged about 150 yards ;
as we all stood it thought better of it, and went at
the dogs, who, however, eluded it grasp with sur-
prising quickness. The first shot broke his leg, and
Added to his fury, but it was now incapable of doing
much harm, so we went up within a few yards ;
another shot went right through the heart, and, in-
credible as it may appear, it charged,/ and nearly
caught one 'of the dogs ; this effort was an expiring•
one, and rolling over, vainly endeavouring to catch
some of its tormentors, the noble creature, who never
for one moment showed its backs to us, gathered to
its fathers. A short time sufficed to strip them of
their skins, and ere the day closed the vultures had
left bat a few bones to tell where so lately had stood

Virtues and juices having.ail evaporated; while itotten becomes

Gentlemen,,—My wife has been lorig.:attlicted with a nervous
complaint, from which she suffered severely. Able physicians and
many remedies were tried in vain, but I.am happy tnintbem you
that she has entirely recovered by using_ a few bottles of Old Dr.
Townsend's Sarsaparilla. J. IL. Ps:rwasoN.

PIMPLES. BLOTCHES, EIWPTIONS,
The same may be said of these as in the cure of the severer
chronic maladies ; the Sarsaparilla and the Ointment will effec-
tually wipe off all disagreeable eruptions, and render the surface
clear and beautiful. Ladies troubled with rough. pimply skin, or
a gross, masculine surface, will do well to .use these Medicines, if
they wish clear, delicate, and transparent complexions. Nothing
can.exceeil their efficacy in this respect.

for improvement are disposed of with so little of
special pleading or of theorising, that he makes a
ready convert of his reader, and so leaves him to
follow up the path he has cleverly indicated, while
he, himself, pursues the onward progress of his
observations and adventures.
Like other sportsmen,Mr. Baker possesses a com-
mendable relish for unravelling the instincts of the
wild denizens of the forest and jungle, and he is also
gifted with the faculty of interestingly deducing
comparisons between their unreasoning operations
and the more pompously arrayed performances of
man. This he does, however, without assuming
the airs of a moral sage, or ostentatiously array-
ing himself in the robes of didactic pedantry.
He puts his case forward tersely and well, leaving
the inevitable deduction confidently in the hands
of his readers ; he thus successfully bespeaks
their confidence, while he engages their atttention.
With the truthful enthusiasm of a naturalist, Mr.
Baker delights in reflecting on the wisdom and
wonders, and the exhaustless resources presented
to the observation of the intelligent inquirer into
the works of nature, as evinced in

------ ----- ....- - .....- „--- . --
rHE RIGHT HON. THE EARL OF SHAFTESBURY.
On re-assembling after their usmd recess, the Committee find
themselves compelled to make an urgent appeal for immediate
assistance.
The receipt 3 of the present year are .EI,OCO less than those of
the corresponding portion of the past.
Pressing applications for aid, have, for a long time, accumulated
on the Society's list •, and during the last month, several new cases
of extreme urgency have leert forwarded for the favourable con-
sideration of the Committee. "Ten thousand souls without a
minister," writes one applicant ; "The back streets may he de-
scribed in two words, poverty and depravity," writes another;
again, " I can testify that the moral and religious condition of
this district will near no comparison to that of Sierra Leone."
The Committee entreat attention to this tact, that the Society's
funds are not even sufficient to maintain its existing Grants; -Un-
less, therefore, a prompt and generous response to this appeal be
made, there can be no extension of operations; and these dis-
tricts must remain unaided in which, day by day, sou:s are passing
into eternity unprepared and unwarned !

PIANO-FORTE TUNING.
At the suggestion of many of his Customers, W. It. tales this
mode of intimating, and subm:tting for approval, a Scale of
Charges for Tuning Piano-fortes by the Year.
That Piano-fortes be Tuned by a competent rerson, at regular
intervals, is of importance even in the case ot, an indifferent in-
strument, but it is indispensably requisite where the preservation,
or otherwise, of a really good one is involved.
The frequently-expressed satisfaction of those Ladies who hare
done W. It. the honour to try this syi,tem, is the best recommen-
dation in its favour. -

TO THE ELECTORS OF CASTLE-STREET
WARD,.
GENTLEMEN,—I beg most cordially to thank you for the
honour you have conferred upon me, in electing me one of your
Representatives in the Town Council, and to assure you that it will
he my constant endeavour to merit your approbation by a faithful
discharge of those duties I have undertaken.—l have the honour
to be, Gentlemen, your most obedient servant,
J. G. LIVINGSTON.

TO THE ELECTORS OF EXCHANGE WARD.
GENTLEMEN,—The character of the Requisition which you
did me the honour to present previous to the late Election led me
to anticipate results which have been amply realised, and I have
again been returned without a contest.
-This marked expression of your confidence will make me more
than ever anxious to deserve the continued approbation of the
Electors, and confer upon me the agreeable privilege of again
attending faithfully to the discharge of those duties which belong
to me as the representative of all classes of the community.
I have the honour to be, Gentlemen, your faithful servant,
JAMES TYRER.
Mersey-chambers, Old Church-yard. Nov. 1, 1835.
TO THE ELECTOgRitF_ CASTLE-STREET
dENTLEMEN,—I feel that I should be wanting in gratitude
to those Electors who on Thursday recorded their votes in my
favour, and personally exc rted themselves to promote my Elec-
tion, were I not to tender them my most sincere thanks.
In consequence of the success of an unworthy manoeuvre,
which reflects no credit on the parties who oriainated it, I have
ceased to be one of your Representatives in the Town Council.
I cannot, however. retire from my public duties without thank-
ing you for the confidence which, during the six years I had the
honour of representing you, you were pleased to place in me. I
shall ever look back upon those six years with pride ; for
although I feel conscious of many failures in the performance of
my duties. I can conscientiously say that I have endeavoured to
perform them faithfully.—l have the honour to remain, Gentle-
men, yours very respectfully, THOMAS AVISON.

my venerable friend, who established a character for toleration
and moleration that it was impossible not to respect. (Hear,
hear.) I trust his virtues will long remain an example to us
all, and to that example I shall endeavour to conform myself
as long as it shall please God to spare my life among you.
The rev. rector, who was much affected during his addreff44,
concluded by proposing the appointment of a committee.
The Rev. Dr. RAFFLES rose to second the motion, and hz
doing so said, after all that has been said, and said so well, not
only in this place but in ninny others, by persons more com-
petent than himself to speak of the private virtues of the late
Archdeacon Brooks, he should content himself with merely
expressing a hearty concurrence in those tributes of regard.
He considered it an honour to bear part, however humble, in
an endeavour to embalm the memory of a man so eminently
useful and so truly valuable. Upon his character and life
death had now set the seal of eternity, and he had left behind
him an honourable memory which will never perish. We need
have no tears shed for him, for we hear a voice, and it com-
mands attention,—it comes from Heaven. It says, " Write,
blessed are the dead which die in the Lord." And who in this.
assembly does not respond to the glorious announcement;
" Let me die the death of the righteous, and let my last end
be like his ?" He concluded by cordially seconding the
resolution, which was unanimously carried.
The Rev. Dr. M'IsIEILE moved a vote of thanks to the
Mayor for his kindness in calling and presiding over the.
present meeting. In doing so he expressed a well considered
and eloquent eulogium on the manner in which his worship
had discharged the onerous and important duties of the
mayoralty.
Mr. JOSEPH POLLO CR, county court judge, in the absence of
Mr. Thornely seconded• the resolution, and, in doing so, said:
Of the private character of him that is gone I will say nothing,
but that to be acquainted with him was to admire him, to
know him was to love him. (Hear.) Nor will I say any-
thing of his merits as a clergyman,—they have been attested
by more competent witnesses than I. There was, however,
one province of his duties with which fortune brought me to
be peculiarly acquainted, and on that alone may I say a word.
The bar yesterday testified their approbation of the sentiments
expressed from the bench on the previous day, and in which I
firmly believe, and they gave it as their feeling, that he was
one of the best chairmen that ever presided at a quarter ses-
sions in this great community. I practised before him as a
barrister for many years, and I had in that capacity an oppor-.
tunity of judging of his merits. More lately, I had the pride
and the pleasure of being associated with him upon the bench,
and, from my experience in this double capacity, I believe that
a greater ornament never adorned the bench than our late
venerated archdeacon. (Applause.) He was at once the
Christian clergyman and the upright magistrate,—the exhi-
bitor of God's mercy, and the minister of man's justice. Asso-
ciated by his position with the rich and powerful, he was ever
the counsellor and friend to the humble and the poor. With a
strong practical common sense, that seemed almost intuitive
to seize upon the right and to detect the wrong, and above all-
with that earnest sympathy with his fellow-men, without
which neither priest nor magistrate is worthy of his vocation
—he has left to us an example which we may endeavour to
follow, but which we cannot hope to rival. He has left to us
a memory that is at once recommended to our reason, and
enshrined in our affections. (Hear, hear.) That memory has
been worthily introduced to us to-day by our worthy chief
magistrate; and I have, therefore, great pleasure in seconding
this motion. I should say that the committee, of whom lam
one, will take into consideration the suggestion of Mr. Turner ;
for there will doubtless be a surplus from the subscriptions to
the monument.
The motion was carried by acclamation.
The Mims having in a few neat and appropriate sentences
acknowledged the compliment paid to him, the meeting
separated.

ELEGANT PERSONAL REQUISITES.
Under the Patronage of Royalty and the Aristocracy throughout
Europe, and universally preferred and esteemed.
THE successful results of the last century have
proved beyond question that
ROWLANDS' MACASSAR OIL
possesses peculiarly nourishing powers in the growth, restoration,
and improvement of the Human Hair, and is now universally
acknowledged to be the cheapest, and superior to all other prepa-
rations for the Hair. It prevents it from falling off or turning
g reg —strengt h ens weak hair—cleanses it from Scurf and Dandruff
—and makes it beautifully/ soft, curly, and glossy. Its operation
in cases of baldness is peculiarly active; and in the growth of the
Beard, Whiskers, Eyebrows, and Mustachios. it is unfailing in its
stimulative operation. For Children it is especially recommended,
as forming the basis of a beautiful head of hair. In dressing the
hair nothing can equal its effect, rendering it so admirably soft
that it will lie in any direction, and imparting a transcendant
lustre. Price 3s. 6d. and 7s. ; Family Bottles (equal to four small),
10s. 6d.; and double that size, 21s.
CAUTION.—On the wrapper of each Bottle are the words,
" Rowlands' Macassar Oil," in two lines.
A beautiful Complexion, and Soft Hands and Arms, are fully
realised and sustained by the use of
ROWLANDS' KALYDOR,
an Oriental Botanical preparation which, by its action on the
pores and minute secretory vessels of the skin, promotes a
healthy tone, so essential to its general well-being and the beauty
of its appearance. Freckles, Tan, Pimples, Spots, Discolourat ion,
and other Cutaneous Visitations are eradicated by the KALYDOR,
and give place to a radiant bloom and transparency of complexion.
During the beat and dust of summer, and in cases of sunburn,
stings of insects, or incidental inflammation, its virtues have long
and extensively been acknowledged. Price 4s. 6d. and 88, 6d,
per bottle.
Sound and White Teeth are not only indispensably requisite to
a pleasing exterior in both sexes, but they are peculiarly appre-
ciated th ough life as highly conducive to health and longevity.
Among the varied preparations offered for the purpose,
ROWLANDS' ODONTO, OR PEARL DENTIFRICE,
stands unrivalled. Prepared from Oriental Herbs with unusual
care, transmitted to this country at great expense, this unique
compound will be found to eradicate all tartar and concretions,
and impart a pearl-like whiteness to the enamelled surface, re-
move spots of incipient decay, render the gums firm and red, fix
the teeth firmly in their sockets, and from its aromatic influence
imparts sweetness and purity to the breath. Price 25.9 d. per box.
CAUTION,—The words "Rowlands' Odonto" are on the label,
and "A. Rowland and Son, 2), Hatton.gardm engraved on the
Government Stamp affixed to each box. Sold 'by them, and by
Chemists and Perfumers.

HOLLOWAY'S OINTMENT AND PILLS.—Mr. Henry Morgan,
of the Commercial-road, Newport, suffered for nine years with
bad legs, which were covered with wounds ; he had advice from
several of the London Hospitals, and consulted some of the local
medical gentlemen, but lie failed to derive any benefit; in fact,
ultimately his ctse was given up as hopeless. At this crisis he
determined to try Holloway's Ointment and Pills, which quickly
caused the wounds to heal, and he completely regained his health
in less than three months, to the astonishment and delight of the
whole of his acquaintances and friends.
THE misery, the disappointment, the interminable expense
of ineffectual "physic-taking," are now happily superseded by
the use of Messrs. Du BARRY'S REYALENTA ARABICA FOOD,
which by a pleasing and natural action on the system, removes
chronic and exhausting disease, and replaces langour and pain by
vigour and health. Those whom it has restored to the enjoyment
of life include persons belonging to all social grades and.profes-
sions, and it is a proof that the emotion of gratitude is more
general than cynics imagine, when we find upwards of 'FIFTY
THOUSAND of the individuals thus relieved publicly:expressing
their sense of the benefits they have derived. The peer and the
clergyman, the lawyer and the physician, the naval and military
officer, the merchant, tradesman, and even the poor mechanic,
have joined in Ws unanimous and unparalleled testimonial.
What invalids most require is a certainty that the article recom-
mended to them is capable of affording relief., that they will not
have again to undergo (as they have so often done) the bitter pro-
cess of trial and disappointment. This certainty they now possess,
and it is no extravagance to express our confidence that it will
prove the harbinger of glad tidings to millions. For further par-
ticulars we refer our readers to Messrs. Du Barry's advertisement
in our to-day's columns.
IMPORTANT CarrioN against the fearful dangers of spurious

Dr. DE ROOS' PILULE VILE, or VEGETABLE LIFE PILLS.
A universal Restorative for both Sexes and all Ages, concocted
solely from the VEGETABLE kingdom; they may be administered
to the youngest Child, or to the most delicate Invalid, by merely
regulating the dose according to the age and strength of the per-
son. They remove all Disorders and Pains in the Stomach and
Bowels, as Costiveness, Spasms, Loss of Appetite, Sick Headache,
Fulness after Meals, Indigestion, Liver Complaints, Inactivity of
the Bowels, Listlessness, Heat, Pain, and Jaundiced Appearance;
and while they act thus salutarily, they must of necessity increase
the strength of the Patient. Headache, Giddiness, Singing in the
Ears, Fluttering of the Sight, and other Heavy Drowsy Sensations
—the forerunners of many fatal diseases,—as Apoplexy, Paralytic
Strokes, Epilepsy, &c., are effectually warded off by a few doses
of these Pills. They also produce sound refreshing Sleep, a keen
Appetite, and possess extraordinary efficacy in invigorating the
system, and imparting a pleasing serenity of mind. They are
unequalled as a Family Medicine; in few h.stances, where occa-
sionally employed in Families and Schools, will other assistance
be needed.
For Females they are truly excellent, removing Headaches,
Depression of Spirits, Dizziness of Sight, Nervousness, Dimples,
Sallowness, and giving a healthyjuvenile bloom to the Complexion.
Ladies, however delicate, will find them particularly beneficial
both before and after confinement. For Elderly People they are
the most comfortable Medicine that can be taken.
Persons going Abroad, Captains, and others, cannot store more
important articles of health than the above, which, by regulating
the Stomach and Bowels, and tranquillizing the Nervous System,
will prevent those fatal disease's so prevalent abroad; as also Sea
Sickness and other complaints incidental to long voyages and
irregular living. No Emigrant's Ch,st can he properly furnished
without them, for when far removed from medical aid, they wilt
find in these Pills a never-failing restorative.
Mr. Smith, St. Ives: "Since taking your Pills I have not once
required the services of a medical man, and feel satisfied this
would be the case generally, if people were not so much governed
byprejudice."—T.Webster, Esq., Sleaford, near Melton Mowbray:
"Having read your advertisement, I felt assured your Pills would
be of use to some of my poorer neighbours. I have had 12 boxes,
and they have derived great benefit from taking them. I shall
continue to recommend your valuable Pills to all my friends."—

Vitm a very pleasant medicine in removing headache."—Maent-

THE WONDER OF WONDERS ! ! !
HOLLOWAY►S PILLS.
ASTONISHING CURE OF DROPSY.
Copy of a Letter from Mr. David Simp,on, of Callaghan], dated
4th Sept. 1934.
To Professor Holloway,—Sir,---it is with great pleasure I have
to inform you of a most wonderful cure of that dreadful malady,
the dropsy, effected on my daughter by the ase of your invalu-
able pills. She had been under medical treatment for a long
time without deriving any benefit, although she was tapped
twice, and fourteen pounds of water taken from her each time.
Atter suffering very severely for some time, she finally bad re-
course to your pills, and in four weeks was completely cured, after
every other remedy failed to do her the slightest good. I there-
fore feel bound to 'make this statement public for the benefit of
similar sufferers.—l remain, sir, yours obediently,
(Signed) DAVID SIMPSON.
WONDERFUL CURE OF ASTHMA.
Copy of a Letter from Mr. Joseph Wild, of Hyde. Cheshire,
dated the sth of August, 1954.
To Professor Holloway, Sir, Mrs. Newton (a lady well
known in this town, residing in Hanover- street) was afflicted
for years with a severe attack of asthma ; difficulty of breathing„
and a most violent cough, causing severe pains in her side, parti-
cularly when she took cold; she tried many remedies, and con-
sulted different individuals, without deriving any benefit. At last
she came to me, and I advised her to take your pills and use
your ointment ; after a few weeks, by perseverance with your
remedies, she was considerably better, and, by continuing the
same, in three months she was perfectly cured.—l remain, yours,
(Signed) Jos. WILD.
INDIGESTION AND BILIOUSNESS ! EXTRAORDINARY
CURE l !
Copy of a Letter from Mr. James Henshall, of Ashton-under-
Lvne, dated 28111.1,1ne. 1854.
To Professor liolloway,—Sir,—l was seriously afflicted with
indigestion, attended with frequent sickness, loss of appetite
giddiness, headache, drowsiness, and dimness of sight, an op-
pression at the pit or the stomach, and the other attendant evils
of a generally disorganised constitution. Although I tried a
varicty of reputed ri-mf•dies, I was not nenefited, and finally I be-
came so bad that life was almost insupportAle to me. At this
I commenced using your pills, and in gratitude am bound
to confess, that after a few doses I tilt considerably better, and
in six weeks was radically cured by this medicine alone, after
every other remedy had failed to afford me the slightest relief.

Analysis by the Professor of Chemistry and Analytical Chemist,
ANDREW URE, M.D., F.R.S., &c., &c.—London, June 3, 1349.

their nervous consequences.—ANDßEW F.R.S.,&c.

THE, WHITE SEA
The French Minister of Marine has received from Captain
Gnilbert, Commander of La Cleopatre, one of the blockading
squadron in the White Sea,. a despatch dated 29th October, in
which he states that having ascertained that the small vessels
of the coast had been employed in conveying 2,000 muskets.
to different points occupied by the enemy, the English and
French commanders bad determined to enforce the blockade
with the utmost rigour,.and to stop the passage of any vessel
or boat, however small. Up to that date boats belonging
merely to the localities on the coast had been allowed to pass
freely.

TING THE NORTH SIDE.
The same coreespondent, writing on the 16th, says :—Late
last night a memorandum was issued, to the effect, that from
to-day until further orders, the whole of the army should be
under arms at half-past 6 a.m., and remain so until dismissed
by generals commanding divisions. Working parties, for rail-
ways, roads, &c., will come on duty at 9 instead of 8 a.m., in
order to give the men time to breakfast and refresh themselves
after the turn-out. There seems to be some expectation that
the Russians intend to evacuate the north side. They yester-
day made a great fire on their left of Fort Catharine. It is
supposed they were burning stores. They had a large dep6t
of coal just about the place were the fire was. On Saturday
night the reflection of a great fire was visible from the camp,
and still more plainly seen from higher points in this neigh-
bourhood. It was in the direction of Bakschiserai. We are
still in ignorance of its cause. The Highlanders have received
counter orders. Some say that the 2nd and 3rd division will
go in their stead ; others that the expedition is entirely given
up, except as regards the cavalry, which have actually gone—
all, or the greater part.
EXPECTED ATTACK BY THE RUSSIANS.
Writing at twelve o'clock on the same day, he continues :
The expedition to Eupatoriahas been cancelled, in consequence
of a telegraphic message from Lord Panmure, to the effect
that the Russians meditated an attack. Inkerman is the
quarter in which it seems to be expected. It is hard to say
what the Russians think to gain by attacking us now. The
fire seen on Saturday night is believed to have been at a
village about three miles on this side of Backschiserai. Such,
at least, is the result of the calculations made by our engi-
neers, who took an observation at head-quarters and another
at Balaklava, thus ascertaining the spot with tolerable accu-
. Of the expedition to Eupatoria the following are
countermanded, viz., the Highlanders, two batteries of artil-
lery, and the company of Sappers. The cavalry has sailed.
I have not yet heard whether they are to go still or be brought
back. They were ordered to embark several days before there
was any question here of other troops going.
Referring to the same subject on the 20th, he says :
Here, at Sebastopol, nothing has been going on, and, in the ab-
sence of events, we are left to reflect on the past and to speculate
maths future. In the hasty lines I added to my last letter, just
before post hour, I mentioned that the projected expedition to
Eupatoria was given up, an attack upon our own lines being
expected. Accordingly, we since then have been turning out
before daybreak every morning, and occasionally at other
hours also. Late on Wednesday night the reserve ammuni-
tion was warned to be ready early in the morning, as there
was every probability of nn attack. On Thursday forenoon
the French were formed up in the Valley of Tchernaya,
awaiting a foe who came not. Yesterday, about noon, there
were movements of troops, and it was reported that large
masses of Russians were visible. There is much note of pre-
paration and clash of arms, but it nevertheless is the opinion
of many here—some of them persons whose opinion has
weight—that our Muscovite friends have not the remotest
idea of attacking us.
In Sebastopol itself there is nothing new. The Russians
continue firing at the town, with little reply from the French.
They fire principally at Sebastopol proper, but now and then
drop a shot or shell into the Karabelnam, and sometimes take
the flagstaff on the Maiakhoff for their mark. It is difficult
to say why we spare them so much, unless it be that we ex-
pect them soon to walk away, and leave us their north side
forts in good order and condition, which would be expecting
rather too much. Outside the town the French are hard at
work levelling their siege wokks, filling up trenches, &c.
A more curious spectaele is assuredly nowhere to be found
than in the space comprised between the lines where our bat-
teries were and the harbour of Sebastopol. The ground in
parts is literally paved with shot sunk in the earth, above
which their upper surface scarcely rises ; there are ditches
and trenches in which they lie as thick as apples in a basket;
in some places numbers of them have been buried. You see
them of every size, from the huge 68-pounder down to the di-
minutive grape—jolly little fellows, of a pleasant vinous ap-
pellation, but very nasty to run against as they are passing
through the air.
Twelve o'clock.—The enemy is said to be clearing roads
through the brushwood down from Mackenzie's Farm, and to
have planted four guns to command the causeway across the
marsh at the month of the Tchernaya. This looks as if they
contemplated an attack in force along our line, but I persist
in thinking that their apparent preparations for action are
made merely for the purpose of deceiving us. The Russians
are the most patient and laborious people in the world for
ruses de guerre of that kind.
The French have a grand review at two this afternoon, in
the plain by Kadikoi. They are now marching down—lmpe-
rial Guards, Zouaves, &c., all in fine order, and brilliant in
appearance.
OFFICIAL DESPATCHES.
CAPTURE OF KINBURN.
WAR DEPARTMENT, Nov. 1.
Lord Panmure has this day received a despatch and its
enclosures, of which the following are copies, addressed to his
Lordship by General Sir James Simpson, G.C.B.:—
_ SEBASTOPOL, Oct. 20.
My Lord,—l am happy to be able to congratulate your
Lordship on the successful termination of the expedition to
Kinburn. I transmit a copy of the report of Brigadier-
General the Hon. A. Spencer. This contains all theinforma-
tion I have received on the operations, with the exception
that in a private note Sir E. Lyons mentions that the enemy
have exploded the three forts of Oczakoff, commanding the
northern entrance into the Dnieper.
In consequence of the continued fineness of the weather
great progress has been made in the construction of the road
and railway. The divisions have all got some weeks' supply
of rations in their camp, and I entertain no anxiety of there
being a scarcity of anything during the approaching winter.
• I informed your Lordship in my despatch of the 13th inst.,
that the Highland Division, under Lieutenant-General Sir
Colin Campbell, were to proceed to Eupatoria and co-operate
with the French ; but, upon the receipt of your telegraphic
despatch of the 13th inst., apprising me that the Russians had
resolved to hazard a battle, and attack the allies, I did not
consider myself justified in weakening the force under my
command by so many meu, and I therefore countermanded
the movement.
I have the honour to enclose the weekly reports of Colonel
M`Murdo and Dr. Hall.
I have, &c.,
JAMES SIMPSON, General Commanding.
(Enclosure 1.)
CAMP BEFORE KINBUBN, Oct. 17.
Sir,—ln reporting, for the information of the General
Commanding the Forces, the fall of the garrison of the fort-
ress of Kinburn this day, I have the honour to state that the
force under my command, as per statement enclosed,* effected
their landing on Monday, the 15tb, unopposed.
Owing to a heavy surf, and which continued all day yes-
terday, the landing has been accomplished with some little
difficulty. The troops, however, were all got on shore on the
first day, and have since been employed in intrenching our
position. There are rumours of a force of the enemy collect-
ing at Cherson, about forty miles from here, but our imme-
diate neighbourhood appears to be clear.
The advanced line of the position, flanked on both sides by
the sea, is held by the force under my command, and is about
a mile in extent.—l have, &c.,
ACCIIISTOS SPENCER,
Brigadier-General Commanding English Land Force.

ADMIRALTY, Nov. 1.
Despatches, of which the following are copies, have been
received from Rear-Admiral Sir Edmund Lyons, G.C.8., com-
mander-in•chief of her Majesty's ships and vessels in the
Mediterranean and Black Sea :
ROYAL ALBERT, OFF KINBURE, OCt. 18.
Sir,—My letter of 6th instant, No. 834, will have informed
the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty that an allied
naval and military expedition was to leave the anchorage off
Sebastopol on the following day, for the purpOse of taking and
occupying the three Russian forts on Kinburn Spit, at the
entrance of Dnieper Bay ; and the telegraphic message which
I forwarded to Varna last night will soon communicate to
their lordships the success which has attended this enterprise.
It is now my duty to give a more detailed account of the
proceedings of the expedition.
I have therefore the honour to state that we arrived at a
rendezvous off Odessa on the Bth instant, but owing to strong-
south-west winds, which would have • prevented the troops
from landing, it was not until the morning of the 14th instant
that the expedition was enabled to reach the anchorage off
Kinburn.
During the night, the English steam gun-vessels Fancy,
Boxer, Cracker, and Clinker, and four French gun-vessels
forced the entrance into Dnieper Bay, under a heavy but
ineffectual fire from the Spit Fort, and on the following morn-
ing the British troops, under the orders of Brigadier-General
A. A. Spencer, together with the French troops, under the
command of General Bazaine, were landed about three miles
to the southward of the principal fort, and thus, by these
nearly simultaneous operations, the retreat of the garrisons
and the arrival of reinforcements were effectually cut off.
In the evening the English and French mortar-vessels tried
their ranges against the main fort with excellent effect.
The wind having again veered round to the southward, with
a great deal of swell, nothing could be done on the 16th ; but
in the forenoon of the 17th a fine northerly breeze, with smooth
water, enabled the French floating batteries, mortar-vessels,
and gunboats, and the Odin and the mortar-vessels and
gunboats named in the margin* to take up positions off
Fort Kinburn ; and their fire was so effective that before noon
the buildings in the interior of the fort were in flames, and the
eastern face had suffered very considerably.
At noon the Royal Albert, the Algiers, the Agamemnon,
and the Princess Royal, accompanied by Admiral Bruat's four
ships of the line, approached Fort Kinburn in a line abreast,
which the shape of the coast rendered necessary, and the pre-
cision with which they took up their positions in the closest
order, with jib-booms run in and only two feet of water under
their keels, was really admirable. At the same moment the
squadrons under the orders of Rear-Admirals Sir Houston
Stewart and Pellion pushed through the passage between
Oczakoff and the Spit of Kinburn, and took the forts in reverse,
while the St. Jean d'Acre, the Curacoa, the Tribune, and the
Sphinx undertook the centre battery, and the Hannibal,
Dauntless, and Terrible that on the point of the Spit.
The enemy soon ceased to reply to our overwhelming fire,
and, though he made no sign of surrender, Admiral Bruat
and I felt that a garrison which had bravely defended itself
against so superior a force deserved every consideration, and
we therefore made the signal to cease firing, hoisted a flag of
truce, and sent on shore a summons, which was accepted
by the Governor, Major-General Kokonovitch ; and the garri-
son, consisting of 1,400 men, marched out with the honours
of war, laid down their arms on the glacis, and, having sur-
rendered themselves as prisoners of war, they will be em-
barked in her Majesty's ship Vulcan to-morrow.
The casualties in the allied fleets are very few, amounting
in her Majesty's ships to only two wounded. The loss of the
enemy in killed and wounded is, I fear, very severe. '
In the three forts, which have suffered considerably by our
fire, we found 81 guns and mortars mounted, and an ample
supply of ammunition.
This morning the enemy has blown up the forts on Ocza-
koff Point, which mounted 22 guns, and we leErnt from a
Polish deserter, who escaped in a boat from them during the
night, that the commandant apprehended an attack from our
mortar-vessels, which would not only have destroyed the forts,
but also the neighbouring dwellings.
I have abstained from entering into the particulars of the
proceedings of the squadron under the orders of Rear-Admiral
Sir H. Stewart, as he has so ably described them in the letter
which I have the honour to enclose, from which their lord-
ships will perceive that I have received from him on this oc-
casion—as, indeed, I have on all others since I have had the
good fortune to have him as second in command—that
valuable assistance which might be expected from an officer of
his distinguished and acknowledged merits; and I beg leave to
add my testimony to his in praise of all the officers, and
especially Lieutenant Marryat and Mr. Brooker, whom he
recommends to their lordships' favourable consideration.
To particularize the merits of the officers kinder my com-
mand, where all have behaved admirably, would be a difficult
task indeed ; but I beg leave to mention that the same officers
of the Navy and the Royal Marine Artillery vho were in the
mortar-vessels at the fall of Sebastopol are in them now, and that
on this occasion, as before, they have been enter the direction
of Captain Willcox, of the Odin, and Captain Digby, of the
Royal Marine Artillery. Nor can I refrain from stating what
I believe to be the feeling of the whole fleet, that on this ex-
pedition, as on that to Kertch, the talents and indefatigable
exertions of that very valuable officer, Captain Spratt, of the
Spitfire, and of those under his command, entitle them to our
warmest thanks, and deserve to be particular;y mentioned.
I need hardly say that my distinguished colleague Admiral
Brant and I have seen with infinite satisfactbn our respective
squadrons acting together as one fleet.
I am, &c.,
EDMUND LYONS,
Rear-Admiral and Commander-in-Chief.
* Mortar-vessels—Raven, Magnet, Camel, Hardy, Flamer,
Firm. Gun-vessels—Lynx, Arrow, Viper, Snake, Wrangler,

VALOROUS, IN DNIEPER BAY, OCt. 18.
Sir,—l have the honour to inform you that, in pursuance of
your orders, I hoisted my flag in Her Majesty's steam-frigate
Valorous on the afternoon of the 14th inst., immediately after
the arrival of the allied fleets off Kinburn Spit, and proceeded,
under the able guidance of Captain Spratt, of the Spitfire, to
take up positions at the end of Dnieper Bay, where with the
division of steam vessels placed under my orders (as per mar-
gin),* and in company with those under the orders of my
colleague Rear Admiral Odet Pellion, we remained in readiness
to force an entrance into the Dnieper, for the purpose directed
by you of preventing, as far as possible. any reinforcements
being thrown into the forts on Kinburn Spit, as well as to cut
off the retreat of the garrison, should either be attempted.
At 9 p.m. I instructed Lieutenant Joseph H. Marryat, of
the Cracker, to take on board Mr. Edward W. Brooker,
additional master of the Spitfire, and endeavour with him to
determine the course of the intricate channel through which
we were to pass, and to lay down buoys along the south aide
of it, the French having undertaken to perform the same
service on the north side.
I likewise directed Mr. Thomas Potter, master of the
Furious (lent to do duty in the Valorous), to proceed with two
boats of the Tribune, and, protected by the Cracker, to search
for the spit on the north bank, and on his return endeavour to
place a buoy on the edge of the-shoal off Kinburn Spit, that
the entrance of the channel might be assured.
As-soon as the preconcerted signal was given, indicating
that this operation was effected, I despatched the Fancy,
Boxer, and Clinker into Dnieper Bay, with orders to anchor in
such positions as would best protect the right flank of our
troops upon the disembarcation taking place, and to make that
their chief care, as long as there was any possibility of the
enemy threatening them.
During the night Rear-Admiral Odet Pellion also sent in
the French gunboats for the same purpose.
At daylight on the following morning I had the satisfaction
of observing all the gunboats, French and English, anchored
safely to the north-east of Kinburn Fort, and without any of
them having sustained damage, although the enemy had fired
shot and shell and musketry at them during their passage in.
Thus the chief part of the object you had most anxiously in
view was accomplished.
While still in considerable doubt as to the extent to which
the channel for the larger ships was buoyed, at 10 a.m. Lieut.
Marryat and Mr. Brooker came to inform me that the work
intrusted to them had been completed, and that the latter
officer was ready to pilot the ships in. The zealous desire
evinced by these officers to furnish me personally with their
report on the difficult navigation of the Dnieper deserves my
warmest thanks, and the gallant manner in which Lieutenant
Marryat brought the Cracker out for that purpose, under a
very heavy fire from the whole of the forts and batteries,
elicited the admiration of all who witnessed the proceeding.
We were now fully prepared to advance, and, in obedience
to your directions, awaited the signal for general attack.
The whole of the proceedings of yesterday must be already
fully known to you; but it is right that I should state briefly
the share taken in them by the division you did me the honour
to place under my orders, which consisted of the ships and
vessels as already stated, reinforced by those named below.
It being necessary to advance in single line, it was arranged
that the ships should do so in the following order :
Valorous—Captain C. H. M. Buckle, C. 8., bearing my flag.
Furious—Captain William Loring, C.B.
Asmodbe (French), bearing the flag of Rear-Admiral Odet
Pellion,
Cacique (French).
Sidon—Captain George Goldsmith.
Leopold—Captain George Giffard, C.B.
Sane (French),
Gladiator—Captain C. F. Hillyar.
Firebrand—Captain E. A. Inglefield,
Stromboli—Commander Cowper Coles.
Spiteful—Commander F. A. Shortt.
At noon, the signal being made from your flagship to weigh,
we proceeded through the channel, each ship engaging the
Spit batteries and Kinburn Fort as they came within range.
To Lieut. Marryat, of the Cracker, is due the merit of pre-
ceding and piloting us through, which he did with great
judgment.
Had the enemy continued his defence of the Spit batteries,
the Sidon, Leopard, Sane, and Gladiator were directed, in
that case, to remain in front of them until their fire was com-
pletely silenced ; but as they were subdued by the accurate
and well-sustained fire which was poured upon them by the
ships which you had placed to the westward of the Spit, and
by those of our own squadron on passing to the eastward,
this became unnecessary ; the whole division, therefore, con-
tinued its course through the channel, and anchored well
inside Fort Nicholaieff and Oczakoff Point.
During this time the four gunboats, Fancy, Grinder, Boxer,
and Clinker, did good service by placing themselves in such
position as to throw a flanking fire on the middle battery
and Kinburn Fort, at the time our division passed within
short range.
Immediately on anchoring, I transferred my flag to the
Cracker, and, followed by the other gun-boats, proceeded
close off the east front of Kinburn Fort, to be ready to act as
circumstances required, should the enemy's fire, which at that
moment had entirely ceased, be renewed. However, the ne-
cessity for further action did not arise.
As the service intrusted to me was carried out under your
observation, I feel it to be unnecessary to do more than to re-
cord my grateful sense of the very satisfactory manner in
which the whole of the ships under my orders took up their
appointed stations, and of the manner in which all employed
performed their duty.
I think myself fortunate in having for my temporary flag-
ship so efficient and well ordered a man-of-war as the
Valorous, and I feel much indebted to Captain Buckle and
his zealous First Lieutenant, Joseph Edye, for their unre-
mitting attention and assistance.
I am delighted to add that, in concerting with our gallant
allies the arrangements necessary for carrying into effect the
present successful operations, I have received the cordial sup-
port and concurrence of my excellent colleague, Rear-Admiral
Odet Pellion.
The anxiety which you yourself ever feel to do full
justice to merit and exertion must be my excuse for presum-
ing to request your most favourable notice of Lieut. Marryat
and Mr. Brooker. They have had anxious, difficult, and dan-
gerous work to perform, and they have each of them executed
it admirably.—l have, &c.,
HOUSTON' STEWART, Rear-Admirstl.

THE LIVERPOOL ISTINDARD.
has produced ,great consternation. Their having troops and
engineers on• board is thought to prove an intention of making
a permanent lodgment there.
RUSSIAN ARMY OF THE SOUTH.
General Luders has issued an order of the day to the army of
the south, dated from Nicholaieff, the 9th of October, an-
nouncing the arrival of 23 druschines of the National Militia
of•the Governments of Smolensko and Moscow, as a reinforce-
ment-to the corps under his command. He states that these
militia battalions have been formed about six months, and,
notwithstanding their long march, are already to some extent
instructed in field manceuvres ; but, as they are still very infe-
rior in all respects to the old regiments who have completed
their experience in the field, General Luders impresses on the
officers of every rank the necessity of instructing them in all
their, military duties, and intimates to the older soldiers that
their young brothers in arms must not be treated with ridicule
or contempt. The recruits of the militia have been distributed
among the regiments of infantry of the army, the reserve, and
those of the military dep6t. They are to be taught the most
necessary portions of their duty as quickly as possible. The
General says :—They are not required to possess the excessively
scientific knowledge necessary for the service de front ;
it will be enough if they are taught the movements of the close
column and the duty of cliasseurs and skirmishers,—if they
know how to load their muskets properly and to fire at the
target.
THE CRIMEA.
PARIS, Wednesday Evening.
According to telegraphic advices from St. Petersburg of the
30th, Prince Gortschakoff announces on the evening of the
29th that the enemy (the allies) after strong demonstrations
from Eupatoria, in the direction of Simpheropol, during
which their operations were constantly harassed, and their
left flank threatened, returned yesterday (the 28th) to their
camp at Eupatoria.
Despatches from Nicholaieff announce that there were no
more than sixty sail of the enemy's fleet in sight, two of
which were steamers.
Only five gunboats were anchored within the liman of the
Dnieper.
THE WAR IN ASIA.
We are in possession, vid Constantinople, of dates from
Kars to the Ist of October; Erzeroum, the 9th ; Trebizond,
the 11th; and Samsoon, to the 12th.
According to these, it would seem that the Russians, after
the serions repulse received from General Williams, had not
made any new attack upon Kars, which was, however, very
rigorously blockaded, and fodder for the cavalry was very
scarce indeed. The Russians are said to be waiting for rein-
forcements from Gumri. Cholera was making sad havoc
among their ranks in the camp along the Kars-chai. This
-.disease also manifested itself at Kars on the 28th September.
Omar Pasha is concentrating his troops preparatory to march-
ing into Georgia. He has made his head-quarters Suchoum-
Kaleh in lieu of Batoum, at which two places, out of 16,000
of the Tunisian Contingent, only 350 remain, the rest having
been carried off by cholera and fever, contracted from bad
food and insufficient clothing.
Omar Pasha's army is only 8,000 strong, but a reinforce-
ment of 18,000 was looked for from the Crimea, and 24,000
more from Constantinople. Intelligence from the Persian
capital only reaches down to the 26th of July, but is void of
interest beyond the cessation of cholera.

A LETTER from Odessa, of the 19th, says :—" Accounts
from Simpheropol describe the whole:place to be in movement.
Many of the inhabitants were leaving the town. The hospitals
were being transported towards the north, to Perecop, Nico-
laieff, and Cherson, whilst the wounded who were in those
towns have been taken to Vossmessensk. The dearness of
provisions was excessive at Simferofol. The Russian army of
observation at Eupatoria is said to be 60,000 strong, and in-
cludes 20,000 cavalry. It is commanded by Geiaeral Schabolski,
chief of the dragoon corps. The avant posts are near Koutsgar
and Karagurt. General Grotenjelm, the commander at Odessa,
has advanced on Otchakoff, in forced marches, at the head of
the 3rd division of light cavalry."
A NEW ROYAL WARRANT has been published, giving to
the relatives of officers killed in action, or dying of wounds
within six months, the alternative of receiving a sum equal to
the regulation price of the officer's commission, instead of an
annual pension. If the officer leaves a widow childless, she
receives the whole sum ; if a widow and children, the sum is

THE BATTLE OP KABS.—An English officer engaged in
the battle gives a brief but spirited sketch :—Kars, Oct. 1.—
Here I am on the Karadagh again, none the worse for my late
illness. Last night the Russians attacked us in force, and
and (between you and me and the post) very nearly took
Kars. The fight was a most bloody one, and lasted seven
hours and a half, without one secsnd's intermission. The
Russians left upwards of 2,000 men dead on the field ; and
their loss in killed, wounded, and prisoners, must have ex-
ceeded 6,000 men. What do you think ,of us Kars chaps
after that ? I was not actively engaged as they knew better
than to attack my almost impregnable battery a second time;
but I did great service with my heavy guns, and twice drove
them out of a battery they had taken, and turned upon us. It
was a nasty sight—the field—afterwards. It was completely
covered with dead bodies, mostly Russians, as our men did
not lose more than five or six hundred altogether. The de-
fence was commanded by dear old (Hungarian) General
Kmeti ; and when our general thanked him in the name of
Queen Victoria, for his gallant repulse of the enemy, I
thought the brave old boy would have burst his heart open—
he was so proud. The Turks fought—not like lions, but like
fiends. I never saw such desperate recklessness of life. You
can form some idea of what a desperate business it was, when
I tell you that the Russians had their whole force concen-
trated upon General Kmeti's division, which, with the rein-
forcements he afterwards received, did not amount to 8,000
men. The reports have just come in, and there are more
than 3,000 killed on the side the enemy.
THE BOMB VESSELS IN THE BLACK SEA.—The bomb
vessels were engaged at the distance of 2,500 yards from the
forts. The first-class gunboats, such as the Arrow, Lynx,
Beagle, Snake, &c., were employed nearer the forts in drawing
off the fire from the bomb vessels, in case the enemy directed
their long-range guns against them, and in distracting their
attention from the floating batteries, and these three batteries
which, to the credit of France and to our shame, our gallant
ally had the opportunity of testing so practically, were an-
chored at the distance of 800 yards from Kinburn, and opened
their guns first against the Russian batteries. The success of
the experiment is complete. The shot of the enemy at that
short range had no effect upon them ' The balls hopped off
their sides, without leaving any impression, save such as a
pistol ball makes on the target in a shooting gallery. The
shot could be heard distinctly striking the sides of the battery
with a " sharp smack," and then could be seen flying back,
splashing the water at various angles according to the direc-
tion in which they came, till they dropped exhausted. On one
plates of one side, not counting the marks of others which
battery there are visible the dents of 63 shots against. the
have glanced along the decks or struck the edges and angles
of the bulwarks, and all the damage that has been done to it
is the slight starting of three rivets. The men are all below,
except a look-out man in a shot-proof box on deck, and the
casualties arose from a chance shot, which came through the
ports.—Times.
AMERICA.
ARRIVAL OF THE CANADA.
BY the British and North American royal mail steam-ship
Canada, Commodore Judkins, which arrived on Sunday, we
have intelligence from New York to the 23rd, and Boston to
the 24th ult. She brought 119 passengers, and $766,296 80c.
and £260 in specie.
The U. S. mail steam-ship Atlantic, Captain West, hence,
arrived at New York on the 18th ult.
A fire had occurred in New York, which caused the death of
three women and two children.
It appears that the reported arrival at Washington of a
special ambassador from Russia was a hoax.
At New York four seamen of the ship Constantine had been
arrested, charged with mutiny while the vessel was on her
recent passage from Liverpool.
The American vessel Maury had been laid under embargo,
by the United States authorities, on the complaint of the
British consul, at New York, who stated that she was being
fitted out as a Russian privateer, with the design of inter-
cepting one of the Cunard steamers from Boston, and taking
her, with the specie on board, as a prize. It was alleged that
she had large quantities of munitions of war on board, and
that she was to be taken to Sandy Hook, where officers and a
crew of eighty men would be put on board, and her, present
officers and crew leave her and return to the city. She was
afterwards released from the custody of the United States
marshal by direction of the district attorney, who acted on
affidavit of the owners, and with the sanction of the counsel of
the British consul, it having been satisfactorily proved that
she was going to China, and that the arms on board were for
protection against the Chinese pirates.
The Washington correspondent of the New York Herald
writes :—" Cushing, alone of the Cabinet, approaches nearest
the President in his hatred towards Great Britain, and it is
surmised that this feeling can be increased, if opportunity and
place should require it. Mr. Marcy's late letter to Lord
Palmerston, requiring explanation relative to his instructions
in the enlistment case, did not prove in accordance to the
wishes of Mr. Pierce, who, for a time, withheld from it his
assent, in the hope that the bellicose amendment suggested by
him would be finally adopted. To his surprise, upon inquiring
of Mr. Marcy what he had concluded to do in the matter,he was
informed that be had resolved upon making no alteration, and
that the letter, as written by him, bad been sent by the last
European mail. This is the proper place to remark that all
rumours and reports representing a demand from the United
States for the recal of the English Minister are without
foundation, and that of the letters sent to Lord Palmerston,
the first has been answered, but not proving satisfactory to
Mr. Marcy, the second and last was written and despatched
as above related."
, On a later date, the 22nd, the same correspondent says :
"It is reported here to-day, in diplomatic circles, that the
British Minister asserts that the late attempt to convict him
of a violation of the neutrality laws of this country was the
result of a conspiracy of foreigners to embroil the two Govern-
ments ; that at the proper time be will show such to be the
case. Furthermore, Mr. Crampton intimates that, should his
recal be consummated, no successor would be appointed in his
place."
The New York Herald remarks :—" Mr. Crampton, the
British Minister at Washington, has been found guilty of
violating our neutrality laws in the matter of recruiting
soldiers in the United States for the service of the Allies
against Russia. It is reported that our Cabinet have, there-
fore, instructed Mr. Buchanan, our Minister at London, to
demand the recal of Mr. Crampton, and certain of Her
Majesty's Consuls implicated in the same unlawful business.
Now, we have a Russian case or two in the same category.
A correspondent of one of our morning contemporaries puts
the following case in reference to the anticipated withdrawal
of Mr. Crampton :—` I wish to know what steps have been
taken, or are to be taken, to have the Russian Minister with-
drawn. The whole country has been publicly and repeatedly
informed, in a boastful, triumphant manner, that James C.
Thompson, the proprietor of the machine-works, on Quay-
street, Albany, has been offered the situation of chief engineer
in the Russian navy. We have it proclaimed that his salary
is to be $6,000 a year, together with a free dwelling-house;
and it is openly avowed that Mr. Thompson had gone to
Washington to complete the engagement with the Russian
Minister.' On Wednesday, it appears, the United States
Deputy-Marshal, Horton, of this port, seized the ship Maury,
on suspicion that she was engaged in the service of Russia,
and had on board articles contraband of war—cannon, mus-
kets, powder, balls, &c., being found among the materials of
her cargo. This, however, is not yet proved so clear a case of
the infraction of the law as that of the Russian Minister in the
engagement of Mr. Thompson. The ship may be destined to
some country not engaged in a war with a foreign enemy ;
but the admission that Mr. Thompson has been to Washington,
to complete his arrangement with the Russian Minister, as
chief engineer of the Russian navy, under the very noses of
the President, his Premier, and his Attorney-General, is cer-
tainly a cool operation compared with the proceedings of Mr.
Crampton. What says the Premier ? "
The New York Times denounces the conduct of Mr.
Crampton and the British Government, though not in very
strong terms.
The Washington correspondent of the New York Times
says :—" The same adventurous speculator in Washington
news, who informed the public on the arrival of the late
President of Mexico in this city, ineop., has, I perceive, con-
tradicted the statement made by myself and others of the
application of this Government for the recal of Mr. Crampton.
The contradiction is without the slightest particle of authority,
is nothing but a random guess, and happens to be wholly
untrue. What may have been the form of the representation
in reference to Mr. Crampton's connection with the enlist-
ments of recruits for the Crimea I do not pretend to affirm,
but that it was equivalent to a request for his recal I have
sufficient reasons for believing, and the substantial correctness
of my former statement on the subject is confirmed by cir-
cumstances which have since come to my knowledge. The
only ground of complaint against the British diplomatic
authorities in the United States, is, that they did not observe
due respect for the forms of international law. Had the
ministers of all the belligerent powers gone judiciously to
work in a spirit of fair competition for volunteers for the
service of their respective governments, no fault would have
been found with them ; but the ostentatious violation of our
neutrality laws by the minister and consuls of one of them,
has produced a difficulty which cannot be settled except by
the immolation of one or more of the offenders, as a sacrifice
to the dignity of the country."
A letter from Washington states, that the Japanese inter-
pretation between that country and the United States was
sustained by the administration, that consequently no efforts
would be made by the American Cabinet to compel the re-
ception of American merchants as residents. The Juanto,
steam-frigate, was fitting out for Siam and Japan, when she
was to take out an American commissary.
MEXlCo.—Advices from Mexico report that Matamoras had
surrendered to the revolutionists without giving battle, and
matters there were quite tranquil. At San Louis Potosi a
fight of three days' duration resulted in the capture of the city
by the revolutionists. The National Guards were being
organized throughout the country, to be in readiness to march
on the city of Mexico, should General Vadaurri think proper.
CUBA dates are to the 13th ult. The direction of the
Spanish bank was to be closed on the 14th ; at the last meet-
ing there was not a quorum of the stockholders. Two French
vessels of war were in the harbour of Havana. The birthday
of the Queen of Spain was celebrated with unusual enthusiasm.
The stock of sugar on hand (deducting for home consumption)
was stated at 60,000 boxes. The prospect of the new crop
continues favourable.
WEST INDIES.—A correspondent in St. Domingo, writing
on the 11th of September, states that a tremendous storm was
experienced there, which blew down nearly one-third of the
houses of the city, tore up an immense number of cocoa-nut
and other trees, and almost entirely destroyed the growing
crops. Several merchant vessels were injured, and two men-
of-war ships wrecked. Owing to, the loss of the crops the poor
people were
meansreplun to amgedinteat
into great

Souzu AmmitcA.—The bark Amazon arrived at Baltimore,
bringing advices from Rio Janeiro to the 29th of August,
three days later. Flour remained unchanged, and coffee was
steady at previous prices.
We have dates from Rio Janeiro to September 4. The
cholera had disappeared, and the province was quite healthy.
Business was somewhat brisk, but not so active as the re-
ceipts of produce from 'the interior warranted. There were
no foreign ships-of-war in port.
COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.
NEW YORK, 23RD OCT.
The money market, says the Journal of Commerce, is still
unsettled, chiefly owing to the European troubles, and the
fears of rather heavy shipments of specie. The usual shipment
of about $400,000 in specie, will go forward from one house
here to leave Boston on Wednesday ; and we learn of smile
smaller sums, of no great importance in the aggregate. We
do not look for any suspension of specie payments, either in
France or England. In these days, when money is the sinew
of war, and capital is, to a great extent, the real test of
strength, a confession of national bankruptcy is an acknow-
ledgment of defeat, and both the Allied powers will make
great sacrifices to avoid such humiliation.
Money on call was not abundant at 7 per cent. ; there were
a few transactions at that rate, but the quotations outside the
banks were 8 to 10 per cent., and, in a large number of cases,
10 to 12. For sterling exchange the demand was improving
at 9 percent. premium. Some leading drawers were asking
to more. We quote :—London, 1081 to 109; ; Paris,
f 5.24 to f 5.161 • Bremen, 78i to 781; Hamburg, 36 to 361;
Antwerp, f 5.221 to f,5.18-11.
CoTrox.—On receipt of the Atlantic's advices at New
York, on the 17th instant, cotton declined lc. to lc. per lb.
This decline led to an increased demand, and the market
closed firm. The sales for the week were estimated at 6,500
bales. Respecting the subject of the cotton crop, we are in-
debted to the New York Courier and Enquirer for the fol-
lowing remarks :—" The subject of crop, which, during the
past two months, has engrossed the attention of the trade,
appears during the past week to have lost its interest. The
three and a-half million bale estimates and upwards had just
yielded to the more moderate figures of about three and a
quarter millions, and calculations were being based upon the
probable value of staple at established rate of consumption of
the world, when the Atlantic arrived, and a new element
claimed consideration, namely, the impending money crisis in
England, and its effect on all commercial interests. The
events of 1847 were still fresh in the recollection of many of
the trade, and all were reluctant to venture far until the
threatened storm had palled. To a feeling of confidence,
therefore, which the moderate prices current in the face of an
immense consumption, and a good, but most excessive, supply
was engendering, succeeded our irresolution and timidity.
The market opened with a desire to sell at rates previously
refused, and to-day closes at a decline of fully ic. on the rates
current at the departure of the Pacific."
BREADSTUFFS.—There had been a fair business done at
last week's quotations up to Saturday last, when, owing to an
increased demand for home use, with some purchases for
France and on speculation, an advance of 121 c. per brl. in the
common and medium qualities was realised. Yesterday there
was again a good demand, at a further advance of 61c. per brl.,
which our present quotations confirm. Wheat was sc. to 10c.

THE FEMALE IMPOSTOR AT
WOLVERHAMPTON.
FURTHER proof of the duplicity of the young woman who
has been practising criminal deceptions under the various
names of Alice Gray, Alice Christie, Anastasia Huggard, and
Eliza Tremaine, has been obtained from Leeds, whence infor-
mation has been received that her photographic portrait has
been recognised as that of a Miss Hook, who some months
ago obtained pecuniary assistance from many respectable
persons by representing herself to be related to the Rev. Dr.
Hook, vicar of Leeds, and who was at that time from home.
Her pseudo claims were advanced by a Mr. Smedley, of Mat-
leek Bath, who was in some way connected with her, and who
conducted her correspondence, until Dr. Hook formally and
emphatically contradicted the tale. She was then lost sight
of by the Leeds police, and has recently re-appeared at Wol-
verhampton. To the aklottlie -photographic art this unravel-
ment of a link in. the )listory of the girl is due. At Leeds
she originally passed ,Minder the natne of " Eliza Tremaine ;"
and having been fonwil apparently in a state of great destitu-
tion, was relieved by the Rev. Mr. Jackson. She then, as
previously detailed, appeared to have raised money in various
parts of the kingdom, by representing herself as an ill-used
relative of Dr. Hook, and, in connection with some members
of the Society of Friends, sent counterfeit letters to him,
signed " Eliza Tremaine," and complaining of his treatment.
These letters were treated with the contempt they merited,
and it was then that her protector took her back with him to
Matlock, and the police lost all traces of her. On Wednesday
she was again brought up for hearing, at the Town-hall,
Wolverhampton, on a charge of perjury. Colonel Hogg, the
chief constable of that borough, has, during the week, been
actively prosecuting inquiries into her past course. It has
been ascertained that under the name of Anastasia Huggard
she was actually engaged as a nurse in Flintshire, as she re-
presented, in the house of Mr. Fenton, of the Queen's Ferry
Wire Rope Works. She there produced an excellent character
from the matron of the Liverpool Workhouse, and was dis-
missed after living there three weeks, in consequence of
her having told some extraordinary falsehoods. Mr. Fen-

advanced, but the amount of sales has been limited
by the small quantity on offer, the present stock being
considerably below the corresponding period last year,
and rapidly decreasing. The sales for the week, up
to Friday, reached 65,720 bales, of which 7,800 were
taken on speculation, and 7,770 for export, leaving
50,150 for the trade. TO-DAY, there was another

WooL.---Since our last weekly report we have no
fefittire to notice in the Wool-market, but at the same
time a better feeling has been manifest during the laSt
two or three days ; stocks -of all descriptions are very
;fight, and the trade generally in .a very healthy state,
-so that it is expected shortly to see more activity in
'the market. Imports for 'the week are, 1,044 bales
East India, 171 Lisbon, 133Seetch, 21 Irish, 5 Coas-
wise, 1,065 Peru, and 2 Mediterranean ; total, 2,439
bales.
Messrs. Greame and .00,111. their monthly circular,
.say ;--- -
The past month has been one of unusual dulness; the un-
easy feeling regarding the Money market which, characterised
the close of Sept., has-since then considerably increased, and
the further advance in the bank rates of discount to 6 and
per cent. appears to haVe completely destroyed coniidence,.and
for the present to paralyse trading operations geneially.; .busi-
ness transactions ltav
'consequence been very much cur-
tailed, but from the-lightness of stocks of wool and the other-
wise healths-state-of the trade in the manufacturing districts,
prices have-not-as yet given way materially, andthe .chief re-
sult of this untoward event, so far as regards the wool trade,
seems to 'he an entire cessation of all speculative demand and
a determination on the 'part of consumers to confine their
operations excluSively to supply their iMmediate requirements.
Sales haw been made in Spanish Frontier, Lisbon, OPotto,
EgAtian,fine'Peruiian,aud the better classes of Turkey and
East India without any material reduction in price, but for
the lower-sorts of Turkey, Russian, Barbary,-&c., Prices- may
be quoted id:to Isl. per ib. lower, although in a great measure
notifinal, as there is a:total absence of demand for these deserip-
tionSs of Mohair and Alpaca stocks are very -light and the late
advanced rates are 'well supported. In -English and Irish
combing wools a reduction of Id. to Id.-per lb. may be quoted
on some-sorts ; in Scotch not much doing;and to effect-sales
lower rates would' have to be submitted to.
TnIBER.--::We quote the folloviingltr" om the' monthly
circular of 'Messrs. :fifoLarE, SLATER, Co.:--
"Mite arrivals into the docks of the Mersey, during the
month, containing timber from British North America, are-
-69 vessels, 48,019 tons, against 58 vessels, 41,893 tons, for the
corresponding period last year. The tonnage employed in the
Canadian timber trade, as compared with last year 'to this
time, is only 102,000' tons; hat from St.-John
anti, other. ports' it is greatly in excess, being 184,000 tons
;against 136,000 to the same period last year. .The great defi-
•ciency in the supply of Quebec timber, and an extensive con-
-suuption, have reduced the stock and enhanced the price so
-considerably, that cargoes which sold :at the commencement of
the import season at, 161-d. per foot for 78 feet average, cargoes
-of the same description are now worth 201-d. per foot."
'METALS.---There is very little. to report, as every-
tiling is dull, but without change in prices, -Scotch

IMPORTANT TO SHIPOWNERS _AND
UNDERWRITERS.
THE StHIP MERMAID.
..A.ea.se of great importance to shipowners and underwriters
.came on for investigation on Saturday, before Mr. Mansfield,
the stipendary magistrate, and Captain Robertson, of the
Board of Trade. As the case had occasioned a considerable
•enteat of conversation and discussion, great number of
parties interested in shipping were present at the opening of
the investigation, whiclrbok place in the magistrates' priimte
Mr. Mansfield, beforeeproceedinge.said that, from the state
of his health, it was impossible for him to.sit if the. apartment
were .crowded. He therefore requested that all parties not
immediately concerned in :the case would leave the room, as
:the public would be amplaarepresented, and Ally informed of
all that took place, by the gentlemen who were present to
report for the press.
311..3%11, solicitor, sa-hoee.,ppeared for theeehipowners, seed
biseelieuts, Messrs. Filkington and llrilecn, the eminent
.shipowners, of the White eta: line of Australian Royal Maß'
.packets, whose interests were .deeply invoiredin the investi-
gation about to proceed, were:-most anxious that every pub-
licity: ahottid be given to The proceedings.
Mr, Mansfield repeated thateample publicity would be given
:to:the proceedings by the gentleinea of the, press who . were
present ;amid considering the.emalluess of. the apartment, he
must insist an the room being. cleared. ,If Messrs. Pilkington
and Wilson evere not witneolics in the case, and 'desired to be
present; they might remain.
The.casetken proceeded. It. was ,an inquiry demanded by
Captain Edward Devey, of the .sleip Mermaid, belonging to
Messrs. Ptiltington and Wilson's " White • Star ;.Ike," into
certain:oharge6 made against him inn liter addressed by the
British consul at Pernambuco to the Board of Trade.
•The,royal mail clipper-ship Mermaideitseerne, on herhome-
waird-,voyage from Melbourne, baying been detained ty ad-
' vense.viinds:.sud severe weather, became ,straitened for pro-
' visions, and. Captain Devey made for Pernambuco, with the
intention of receiving supplies of fresh. provisions, but not in-
tending to remain longer than a few: hours. The Mermaid, as
has been intimated some time ago, arrived, in ;Liverpool.one,;,he
20th of last mouth, with about 200 passengers.on.board.and a
very valuable cargo, comprising, among other articles,
_gold,to
the value. of 4:440,00.
In buffeting the .;stormy seas which she ,encountered, the
vessel had.become ..slightly leaky, a circumstance which. had
attracted Captain Devey;s early and earnest attention, and
which a minute investigation had convinced him ,was of no
serious moment„and.sach as in no way Ati toitnperil :the safety
of the ship. •On .arrivirg at Pernambueo,,one or two of the
cabin passengers, ,not.much acquainted with maritime affairs,
and alarmed for their :personal safety, communicated to the
British Consul the.factlthat the vessel was leaky. Theeansul,
more acutely eave-te the =.i.tnportance of this communication
than consuls sornetimes.are, issued an order that the Mermaid
should be immediately smveyed. Against this -the.captaie, a
nautical officerofeauchexpertence and judgmentremonstrated,
declaring-it to be altogether:unnecessary. Regardless of the
captain's opposition, the consul insisted on the survey :being
made ; and the parties to whom this important duty .was .en-
trusted reported it as their .opilion that the ship could not be
allowed to proceed on her voyageanitil she had been eatensively
repaired. Apart from his conviction that no such coureeaf pro-
eeeding was necessary,Capt. Deveyaaware that it was impossible
tto take a vessel of such tonnage .as the Mermaidover the lam. at
Pernambuco without incurring &great cost and waste of time
in leaving her lightened of her cargoaremonstrated against the
order. He further knew that, even ,ater the ship had been
lightened so as to get her into the port, there was no dry dock,
or,indeed, any dock at all, into which :a vessel of such maga
nitudeas the Mermaid could he put, And that the only way in
which ehe could even be examined was to have her beached,
an operation which, in his judgment, must have proved fatal
to the ship, In these circumstances, he refused compliance
with the sec:wad's order. The consul insisted on submission, i
and further s.utimated his intention of enforcing obedience, I
and also insisting on means being afforded for securing the pay-
ment of his (the consul's) commission of two and a half per
cent. upon the gold on board, a commission amounting to some-
where about £10,600. The captain, fully convinced of the
seaworthiness of his ship, yet also deeply 'sensible of the
heavy responsibility which rested upon him, stated the
case plainly to his passengers, at the same time assuring
them that he had the fullest reliance on the perfect safety of
proceeding on the voyage. Trusting in his representations, the
passengers, with the exception of 10 or 12, volunteered to go,
with him, and signed a memorial to that effect. Armed with
this document, and animated by the confidence in his judg-
ment which its presentation implied, he resolved to crave the
authority of the consul ; and having first, so far as it was pos-
sible for him to do so, provided against every contingency
which might arise on the voyage, he sailed from Pernambuco
on the 10th of Sept., and after a pleasant voyage of one month
and four days, brought his ship, his passengers, and his cargo,
safely into the Mersey—thus clearly justifying his reliance on
the seaworthiness of this noble ship, and vindicating her cha-
racter. In addition to all this, the energetic promptitude of
his decision saved the pockets of . his owners and the under-
writers a sum which would not have been less than Z 25,000,4
in charges for repairs (which, if executed at all, must have been
inefficiently performed,) for detention of the ship, and for. the
commission claimed by the consul.
The fact of the Mermaid having made the run from Per-
nambuco to Liverpool in so short a time as that occupied, may
be presumed as proof of her excellent sailing condition and
qualities, and is in itself a sufficient evidence of the soundness

SARSAPARILLA..
PRIESTLEY'S FLUID EXTRACT OF TIM
FINEST RED JA NIA ICA SARSAPARILLA.
This most efficient and agreeable preparation of that
well-known and valuable alterative, JAMAICA SA RS A -
PA RILL A, is prepared by a peculiar and scientific
method ; raid the experience of many years.has fully established
the reputation of this medicine, as containing more of the virtues
of the root than any other preparation. Its beneficial effects have
been particularly striking in the following complaints:—Noctur-
nal pains in the limbs, scrofulous enlargement of the gland., cu-
taneous affections, chronic rheumatism, &c. ; in freeing the sys-
tem after a course of mercury, its beneficial effects are very power-
ful. It purifies the blood, and, by giving to the cutaneous vessels
a healthy and regular action, it removes that disposition to
erysipelatous inflammation from which so many persons periodi-
cally suffer ; and when taken in the spring and fall of the
year, as an alterative medicine, it will be found to impart that
strength to the constitution which is indicated by firmness of
flesh, good appetite, and freshness of the complexion.
N.B. To persons of a plethoric habit it is most invaluable, as it
thins and promotes a free circulation of the blood, thereby pre-
venting attacks of apoplexy.

lungs. Persons troubled with Asthma are considerably relieved
by taking a few doses of the Drops, as they tend to promote ex-
pectoration and remove viscid phlegm. For the speedy cure of
the looping Cough they are no less efficacious. Those who are
troubled with that unpleasant tickling in the throat, which de-
prives them of rest night after night, by the incessant cough
which it provokes, will, by taking one dose, find immediate re-
lief, and one Bottle, in most cases, will effect a cure.

-salt to -the liqudr,' and continue to turn and baste the
. neat .for ten 'ddys longer. At the end of thiS time,
take it. from the pickle, rub it :with coarse cloths till
. perfectly dry, then slacken .a piece of quick-lime in
- water, rub it very thick over the surface of the meat
with a brush. • Hang the ham in a chimney, where
nothing but wood is burnt, for a fortnight: The white
lime. wash not :only preserves the nieat from flies, but
will indicate by itecolour whether or not the ham has
• beeniufficiefitly, smoked. .
To SALT OR PICKLE BACON.--As soon as the bacon
comes from the butcher's hands it should, have a
• covering of salt, dried and rolled to a fine powder,
well rubbed in with the hand to every part, using the
finger to every hole and joint, as it is most important
that the meat should take the salt when- it is quite
fresh. In twelve hours . all the brine and damp salt
not absorbed should be scraped off the bacon and re-
moved from the vessel, and dry salt added .again, as
much as is needed to cover it as. before, and well
rubbed in. This process should • be repeated every
twelve hours for three days, when saltpetre should be
added, getting off previously all the damp salt and
- brine, as before, and applying the saltpetre as the
common salt, adding a handful of the latter. A quar-
ter-of-a-pound of. saltpetre to a side of bacon weighing
701b§. is sufficient. Then mix one pound of coarse
brown sugar, and one .pound of treacle, and pour over
the saltpetre on the bacon, adding a little more com-
mon salt daily for three days, which serves to make
the pickle keep well, and the whole liquor should be
ladled with a teacup over the bacon, as often as con-
, venient, four times a day for the first two weeks after
it was first put to the bacon, and then never less than
- twice a day for : the remainder 'of the time' needed for
- its pickling, which is four weeks, or longer if larger
'bacon ; and then it should be sent to the drying-house,
and smoked over wood fite.—Agrieultural Gazette.
cheap cultivation are immediately overcome. Let
navvies be employed to level the breadth of a ridge or
two running in the direction of the most prevailing
wind ; and let their work be instantly followed by a
copious irrigation. On the warm wet sand, which
the winds in that state will not stir, spread plenty of
guano, or bone dust, and sow clover, with a few grains
of barley, and perennial rye-grass, and in a few days
there will be a beautiful verdure, laving to the owner
the choice of sheep grazing or cutting with the scythe.
Speaking of a ridge-breadth formed like a road, it is
only meant that such is a beginning ; and that the
levelling,and sowing keep pace ; and evident it is
that neither extent nor exposure on such a plan can
prove any hindrance ; though it may be expedient, on
account of the freaks of the wind, to leave it, for a
little time, a narrow space to play upon, between the
unlevelled brow of the desert and the new sown ridge,
taking care that that narrow space, itself be duly
watered. Where irrigation from the sea is found most
convenient, there will be also the advantage of a saline
manure ; and ,it is observed that sheep are always
exceedingly fond of grass that has been showered by
marine spray, or washed by the tide. It is needless
to speak of enclosures which will be proper where the
waste regions are large, as doubtless thorns will grow,
especially the sea-thorn, where grass and corn can be
made to thrive. And it need not be observed that the
planting of hedges should be at the first, when they
would get their share both of the guano and irrigation.
After the hedges are well grown, the surface consoli-
dated, and the soil has acquired some admixture of
vegetable mould, the plough may be thought of, but
till then it will be as wise to let well alone. For
aught that the writer can see, there is no reason to
fear the perfect and economical success of the methods
now suggested ; and it is earnestly to be hoped that
some noble spirited proprietor, such as the Earl of
Eglinton, who is not a , little interested, will try the
experiment.
