wades et such views and amerfioss, for an not iTesees of this nature, for iestance—" Not Hungary, Vienna that gave bias (Kossuth) that magic dre a ms , and power. before which after these days eves bit opponents were silenced,"—is not this, we my, r nonsense? At the period, however, when lionroth entered the g g isistry, the utter aberration of Mr. Delta's intellects ego sue loeger fail to be perceived. The impalas be tins to represent Kassab as a oonspowod of every bad sad revolting quality, se a smokes obstinate W. a seligaant minim, deprives him of all sober robe. lion, induces him to so jumble events, to mite/prima theta so, that the reader doab's whether it is ell guts gaily mean', or a wilful mystification. If we were hers V+ note down and rectify eash inaccuracy, each misrepresentation, we should have to write a volease. There remains, therefore, nothing bet to place in opposition to this display d low emulations, which for the most pad are salllciettly refuted by notorious Mote, some p sis& views resprcting the events of this period that le still too near by far to permit a critically sound description of them. Delta appears to attach special importance to Roe euth's having obstinately rejected all conciliatory po licy, and that he by this " has given a proof of his ambition, of his dreamy arrogant policy." There is sot eves one man of sound understanding in all Re vert who does not knew, that ou the part of Austria the slightest attempt at a peaceable reconciliation and understanding with the representatives of the Hen gsrian nation was never annotuseed infers the break ing out of open hostilities, by the thymica of the Hanes, declared a traitor by the King. There is but sae feeling, one voice about it, that this would have base an indispessable duty of the Austrian cobble— = set of prudence, of common fairings. No eat could comprehend why it was not done, why the Emperor Ferdinand, when he in his voluntary eon cessions of March, afterwards perceived danger for the existence of the Austrian stn's unity, did not cry out to his Hungarians—" The cioccessious made to you is ths days of extreme political excitement ap pear to threaten the farther existence of the Austrian collective monarchy. As a parcelling out of it cannot be your intention, allow your plenipotentiaries to seeemble with the deputies of the other provinces et the empire for mature deliberation, in order that the political reform of the monarchy may take plies is a manner calculated to strengthen tether than to weaken" But instead of this open loyal modest the Ismael deceptive system, es in the times of Leopold L, was followed, and they acted with a perfidy that stands unexampled is history. The men of the Austrian cabled did not dare to 'li mit the privileges at Hungary to a rigid impartial scrutiny, Lc they were only too well known to it, end it bad invariably occasioned them the greatest trouble to circumvent them, to amuse and the nation with their Machiavelli's eiseeells. time. For a congress of the collective provisoes d the monarchy, fur examining into the rights t f Hew gory—only her existing, chartered rights, sworn to by all her kings—could serve sea base ; since even the reigning house itself, that had nothing cadged about it, had mounted the throes by virtue of sub charters. mails; in those ems when this would be nests nary to secure their earlier delivery as the Monday, all the calms lettere, whether inland or not, would be sent by the night mails. It is obvious that under this arrangement none of the 19tters in question could be delivered anywhere on the Sunday.* 17. I should also strongly advise that in the per- Formosa, of the abovelosathsed duties at the Lstelon office no infringement should be allowed on the hours of divine service; the whole interval from ten in the morning till five in the afternoon being left perfectly free; and I shall propose to extend this arrangement as far u practicable to the existing duties at that office. 18. By availing ourselves of the time now occupied by the ekrlis of the travelling post-office in assorting such of the letters in question as now reach them by the anecial cross posts, I am of opinion that a brae of 25 men, at the expense of 3001. per annum, will suffice for the duties now proposed. And when it is considered that in the single anomaly referred to above the plan will effect a saving of 1481. a year, it appears highly . probable that the total reductions efrected by the improvement will fully compensate such additional expense. 19. I should add that, although Mr. Bokenhain, whom I have consulkd, sees no difficulty as reg . irds the practicability of the general measure, he is of opinion that little aid can be afforded by the clerks of the travelling poet-office, consequently, though willing to try with 26 additional men, his impression is that a somewhat larger number will be necessary. 20. As regards the effect of the proposed change on the amount of Sunday occupation, it is manifest, from what has already been stated, that for the increased forte at the chief office thee is, to say the least, a large set off elsewhere. A further examination, however, will put the matter in a light still more satisfactory. (lb be asstiewed.) THE SHROPSHIRE AGRICULTURAL BOCIITT. nil meeting was bold sear Shrowebary ow Tow day.

It ie notorious that a blank post is everywhere preceded and followed hy a greater amount of corres pondence than usual. Taking London, the average number of letters is greater on Saturday by 8 per cent., and on Monday by 25 per cont., than ea other days. But as respects the correspondence sent through London, Saturday evening is at present in moat towns a blank poet time. It therefore follows that such correspondence is despatched from the sources in unusual amoont on Saturday morning, and on Sunday morning or evening, according as there may or may not be a Sunday day mail. 22. Now each of these augmentation tends to pro duce aiditional Sunday work both to the department and to the public. For the letters in the fleet cate gory are in the mat part distributed by the Post office and read by the public on Sunday ; and those in the snood are foe the most part written by the public and despatched by the office on Sudsy. 23. It is obvious, therefore, that se far as relate; to the letters in question, the proposed change would entirely get rid of Sunday work, ss respects the public, while as respects the department, it woad exchange work now dispersed through nearly a thousand offices, fur concentrated occupation in one, the latter requiring a lose proportionate force, and falling co inch times as to be dealt with without in fringement on the hours of divine service. It is manifest, therefore, that as respects general super cession of Sunday work, and the balance is in favour of the proposed plan. 24. The advantage, however, by no means rests here. The plan will be an impo rtant aid, as will be shown hereafter, to measures for relieving the pro vincial offices as regards Sunday business in general. 25. As regards the chief offices. The force now proposed to be employed on the Sunday would suffice for nearly all the ordinary duties necessarily belong. ing to that day, and thus it would be possible to defer moat of the work now done on the Sunday till after midnight, and thus to avoid any material increase in the Sunday force. This latter change, however, im plies the precious consolidation of the inland and die. trict post offices. 26. Nay, were it thought necessary, there me means, arising in part out of the comparative leieurel at moat country offices on the Saturday, by white Sunday work at the chief office might be reduced considerably below its present amount. As, however, these means involve some complexity, and psegbly additional expense, I do not prepare them at proem : but hereafter, should they prove sufficiently simple to be reduced to practioe, and not too expensive for adoption, there can be no doubt that this prevention of the weekly delay or irregularity in the vast cor respondence which ordinarily passes through London, is far from involving any increase in the amount of Sunday work, would, independently of its aid to other measures of relief, directly prodooe a material diminution of the same. 27. I now refer to the speobl question of relied to the provincial offices. The mums in oontemplation appear in the M. lowing extract from my wants of Dee. 6,1848 : That even oaks is Enema& sad Wales be caned fee all puree, freak tea Is Ivo Weise& an the Eleaday, swept fee the reeelpt and rheas" of any oath te the interval ; but that a box be lift epee for the peelle. sf elesped and mt. paid tatters. Pother, that there be only one thitvary oilme n,* at that day. 28. This proposal having been referred by year lordship to the English surveyors, has met with their unanimous and eeriest concurrence. It appears, however, that although the general rule is to have only one delivery on the Sunday, then are several towns in which there are two. The diseentinuanee of the additional delivery, al though with one doubtful exception approved of by the surveyors, might neverthelue, in the absence of other alterations, produce swim complaint from the The Sunday transmission of letters through however, would, as regards most towns in and Wales, withdraw so large a proportion eir letters from the second delivery (already very I %Id) tharthe little delay in the delivery of the re- Num wield be of no moment. Such withdrawal, beenver,it must be admitted, is, in relation to the public convenienee, an objection, pro to the plan ; but as the delivery gli t those letters on the Monday morning weld be made conjointly with that of many letters, peer detained till Monday a ft ernoon, or fa owe iminswi till the next day, the manure u a while ImemY gees bebly give menthe:tier, even in the um= few towns where delay would occur; e else it would cer tainly be felt as a great boon. ' 29. This change, therefore, bong considered aspen of the general measure, I have no hesitation in recom mending that (with possibly one or two exceptiou, which if necessary will be unstilted hereafter)) the second delivery be abolished throughout England and Wales ; Ireland and Scotland being left for after con sideration ; and that the planes proposed lathy minute - - - TM Emil et rove letutrill thanks, but freak the lateen' N the soar we were obliged te be Wier i• our repceß Tee CAAIIMAN then Nave " Te oar out nun raeotidti" sad left the distr. • This prepaid= bee enlmociwhy been liodlihd, the deep t& being connoed entirely to the night • • THE EXPRESS, THIJUSIiAIt EVENING, OCTOBER 11, 1849. assertions, for are not AN ABSTRACT OF TEI NET PRODUCE OF THE REVENUE OF GREAT BRITAIN , gene-" Not Hungary, (Kossuth) that magic IN TIM Tease Ann Qoaursas aims Ormuz 10, 1848, Ann ()cross* ill, 1849. v which after these days sits Galled Ter Qumran melee , Year ear leiderlo Or. rt. pewter 17419. oet.r, Albso - speed,"-is not this, we . andel ... 1t441.. 1948.1d'.

It may perhaps assist your lordship in de cidirg the important question now submitted, if I briefly recapitulate she results, negative u well as positive, of the whole of the mwure. 3L First, It will prevent irregularity or delay (often amounting to 24 hours), in the transmission of probably 50,000 litters a week. 32. Second, It will add Reiser nothing to the ex peeves of the department. 33. Third, It will cause no increase whatever of mail trains or other meats of transmission to or from London oa the Sunday. 34. Fourth, It will neither bring in nor take out a single London letter. and therefore cannot cause either a Sunday delivery or a Sunday collection in London. 35 Fifth, While it will not effect the number of Sunday collections elsewhere, it will materially reduce the number of Sunday deliveries. 36. Sixth, While, so tar as the public is concerned, it will leave matters precisely as they now stand io London and the vicinity, it will tend greatly to re duce Sunday letter writing and reading elsewhere. 37. Seventh, It is true that se regards the London Post-office, it will, in the first inetanoe, require the attendant* of about twenty-five persons on the Sun day, but these will not be allowed in the slightest degree to infringe on the hours of divine service; and I am of opinion that, eventually, even this limited attendance may be avoided, and the Sunday work in the London office reduced much below its present amount. On the other hand, u regards the provincial offices, it will ulnae a very large body of persons now engaged even during the hours of divine service, and will thus afford to many hundreds, per haps even to some thousands, needful rest, and the opportunity of attending the services of the day. 38. Should your lordship approve of these propo sals, I submit that the necessary application be mane to the Treasury. 39. Some important measures of relief to the rural messengers and rural receivers on the Sunday, which have been suggested by Mr. W. Johnson, will still remain for your lordship's consideration ; but, as they are not essential parts of the main plan, I propel, to submit them hereafter in a separate minute. ROWLAND HILL February 3, 1819. POST-OFFICE SUNDAY LABOUR. ORIGINAL MINUTE FOR THE CHANGE IN THE DUTIES OF THE OFFICE. The followieg is a copy of the original minute sub• milted to the Postmaster-General in Febenary last : 1. In obedience to your lordship's inetructioas I' beg to submit my dews u to further measures for redncirg the burley duties of the Post-offiu, and as to other improvements connected therewith. 2. Tte importance of affording to all connected with the Post-offs,e the utmost amount of rest on the Sunday that is coosis eat with a due regard to public convenience having led to measures for the total sus pension of money order business on that day through out En load end Wales, it is very satisfactory to re -1 mark that neither the announcement of the change nor the experience of it thus far has brought on the department a single complaint from the public; and I confidentty snicipate a like satisfactory result should the Treasury concur in your lordship's recent recommeodation of a similar measure in Ireland and Scotland. S. Your lordship will recollect that in considering the above improvement, the importance of similar relief as respects other duties was kept in mind; and, from the investigsions which have been made, then' can be no doubt that a further very important relief, es relates to Sunday work, may be effected in all the provincial (Sloes. 4. The consideration of this question, however, is closely connected with that of a measure =illy re lating to public convenience, but which, contrary to first appearances, proves on investigation to have a direct tendency towards the same object of kitanday relief. 5. The transmission of letters through London on the Sunday, your lordship is awsre, hu long been a d.sideratum, having been recommended by the commissioners of post-office inquiry in 1836 (7th report, No. 9), and by a committee of the Moues of Commons, in 1838 (3rd report, page 10), and again suggested by several members of a committee of the Howe of Lords, in 1847 (report of select committee, No. 430, 446). 6. The obstacles to the adoption of these recom mendations were, first, an assumption that it would increase the Sunday work of the department, and a fear that it would lead to a Sunday delivery in London. 7. Both these apprehensions, as will be shown here after, are roundlet*. 8. Since the time when the above recommendations were made, the importance of the change has greatly increased, the Sunday . avenge of letters involved in the consideration having advanced, since 1836, from five or six thousand, to fifty or sixty thousand, or ten fold. 9. The importance of the chanp will be still more manifest on reference to the feet, that this present num ber of London " forward letters' for a single day mutt exceed what was in 1838 the corresponding number for a whole week, for the expediting of which it war determined by government, on the recommendation of the commissioners of post-office inquiry, to esta blish day mail., at an estimated cost of 15,0001. a year. (17th report, pages 5 and 121). 10. The evil of the present arrangement, already so great, is constantly increasing; partly because of the ' general increase of letters, but mainly because of the centralising tendency of the railways : the greatly increased speed of conveyance, too, obviously tends to make any detention more severely felt, and the in convenience is particularly serious when it occasion ' ally happens the detention falls on a mail from the I East or West Indies. 11. The evil of detention has been found so serious, that in several asses the rule has been evaded either I by making use of ether existing channels for the con veyance of the mails sent on ordinary days through London or by the actual establishment of Sunday cross p oets, either of which arrangements obviously involves increased expense, trouble, liability to error, perplexity to the publie, sad additional SundaT work. Thus the mail between Winchester and Birmingham is sent on the Sunday through Exeter; and win, the oorr espoodesee between the towns stlifat by the ,N or th-Esatern Railway, and seer dro 'eed by the I North-Western Railway, is conveyed on the Sunday by a mail cart, expressly running on that day be tween Cambridge and Wolverton, through Newport revel, a distance of 47 miles, an arrangement in editing an expense of 1481. per annum (981. for the east, and 501. for additional sating at Newport Pag ed), besides a direct increase in Sunday occupation. 19. Meantime the mail trains (excepting a few of the day smile) run as on other days, and, save as areanis Inadon, convey letters as usual ; even to Lend" nearly all letters from Ireland, Scotland, and the "'Vert', as also all foreign and colonial letters whatever, are brought as on other days, the same be ing partly assorted at the chief office on the Sunday for delivery, or for forwarding, as the cue may be, the next morning. 13. For the performance of these duties, and for the selection and deliver, of the " states" (letters ad dressed chiefly to the higher Aces of government), 96 persons are ordinarily employed at the chief office on the Sunday, their time of occupation being on the avenge six bees I the arrival of a heavy mail from *red makes a greater force. 14.

A meeting of the parishioners of St. Stephen's, Walt:reek, sad So. Beret's Stterekog, was held yesterday, is the vestry-room of St. Stephen's Cherub, to take into oonsideration, and to express an opinion on, the proposed plan for est ablishing Sunday labour in the General Post saes. At 12 o'clock the chair was taken by the Rey. GEORGE CROLY, who read the Reties sterthing the meeting, end proceeded to observe that they had been told that the pro. po.ed &wee in the Post• Aloe would not increase the labour of the permit" employed ; bat the best answer to that was the declaration of the *aka themselves that their labour would be most seriously *crossed.

The next point to be coosuidered, was the necessity of the innovation. At the great meeting at Freemason'-ball, the necessity was entirely repudiated persons of every class and profession. (Hear, hest.) It b ad been urged that there was already Sunday labour is the sountry post-offices. If so, be was sorry see it, and he hoped that th e result of th e present movement would be to extinguish Sunday labour to the post-ohless all over the country. (Hear, hear.)

ANLION.—The intelligence of the sudden dinith of Mr. George Edward Anson reached Osborne yesterday at about 1 o'c loc k.

Mr. Anson was private secretary to the late Viscount Melbourne, during part of the tenure of office as premier of that nobleman. He was of delicate conatitu• tion, and some time since he was attacked by dangerous ness at Osborne, which caused medical aid to be immediticely summoned from dawn. PARLIAMENTARY AND FINANCIAL REFORM. MARYLEBONE AND PADDINGTON. A meeting of the district association for West Merylebone and Paddington took piece last evening, at the Literary Institution, Great Carlisle -serest, Portman-market. There was a crowded attendance. Mr. Joxx Cesium. the Chainnius of the district association, presided ; and Lord Dudley Stuart, IK.P., Mr. J. Williams, M.P., Mr. T. M'Enteer, and Mr. W. Wilkinson, attended as a deputa tion from the parent association. Lord D. STUART, hI.P., was loudly cheered en rhino. He expressed the plantar* he telt in seeing so many ladies present on the occasion—a proof that the question was one which interested them. Their influence was most powerful in all such matters; and he rejoiced to find that the ques- Coo of parliamentary and financial reform had attracted their sympathy. Though his means might be feeble, hie feel ings were alwass on the tile of the oppressed, and he should ever be ready to do all in his power for their relief. (Cheers.) The object of this association being to afford re lief to his fellow-countrymen, who were suffsriag from en enormous load of taxation, could not but have his warm sup port. It had been charred against the association that its objects were not well defined ; but was it not a substantial object, and one easy to be understood, to meek to reduce the burdens of the tax-payers? (Applause.) Taxation was un equal, and coast gutsily u njust; let it [be known that Eng lishmen would bear thb no longer. (Cheers.) What was really necessary they would bear without complaining, but they would not submit to injustice. (Hear, hear.) Hitherto the most cordial unanimity had prevailed at these meetings between the middle and working classes ; those who sought to sew discord between them had been lisflisd; and with a continuance of combined action and energy, victory was sure to crown their efforts. (Cheers.) Mr. J. WILLIAMS, M.P., was received with loud de monstrations 01 applause. He observed, that infinite credit was due to Lord D. Stuirt, for having come oat from the ranks of the aristocracy and advocated the easee of the people. (Cheers) He (Mr. Williams) had eons to Mary lebone as one of the people, and for a twelveameath had workeu for lower wages. perhaps, than any One now present. He was now • member of par• fitment, into which position he had been carried an the shoulders of the people. (Cheers.) The people's party would jeut an end to that petty great ness which was founded on the littleness of Its adv.- cat's, land would show to the world that the national welfare could only be secured by carrying out the principles now advocated. (Cheering.) Mr. THO2dAS CLARK moved: That, whilst this meeting is deeply convinced that a great Modica of the national expenditure, and a more equitable adjustment of the harden of taxation, ere imperatively ne cessary sad almost universally demanded, it cannot see any reasonable hope of permanently securing those paramount objects until such a measure of electoral reform has been ob tained as shall give to the people • direct oontrol over the taxes which they are required to pay: and this meeting, therefore, urges all who desire parliamentary and fi nancial reform to give to the National Parliamentary and Financial Reform Association their most earnest co-operation. In the coolie of • very eloquent speech he enforced the necessity of a compact union of the middle and working clines. Mr. GEORGE DAWN seconded the resolution. He ob served that if the land tax had been continued in proportloo to the hiereased value of the land, on the same scale as it was originally imposed, it would have produced at least 30 millions a year. The reso lution was then pat and agreed to unanimously. Mr. J. BO WEN moved : That this meeting rejoioes m the hope that a hearty union humane the middle and working classes has at length been &noised, and strenuously enforces on all those who complain of any grievance in the national affairs, to concen trate all their energise in the constitution of anon a tribunal in parliament as shall deal out full and impartial justice to all classes of her Majesty's subjects. Mr. STREET seconded the resolution; which was also agreed to. Lord D. STUART, in moving the thanks of the meeting to the chairman, said he was indebted, in a greet measure, to the exertions of that gentleman for the proud position he held as member for Margiebone. (Cheers.) Mr. J. WILLIAMS seconded the resolution. Thanks were also voted to the deputation. At the close, enema poisons enrolled themselves members of the associates. MEETING AT ST.

Lest evening in important meeting of the members of the medical profession, convened by the Pharmaceutical Society, was held at their rooms in B loomsbury-equere, for the purpose of taking into consideration the ptessat system of sallow poison, with the crime and loss of life resulting from it, mud an to take into consideration the measures far remedying the evil. The meeting was very folly attended. Mr. SQUIBB. the President at the Pharmaceutical So cety, was called to the chair, and offered • few prefatory beervation. Mr. 3 BELL said the robint they had met to discuss had been hroeght ender the notice of the Pharmaceutist Sudety by the Provincial, Medical, cad Surgial Association, and a rams of gamins had been addressed to the members of the society, by Dr. Tunseall, of Bath, with a view of ascertaining what prootkal means could be effected for permuting the frequeat grimes and accident& result ing from the improper en of menus. It appeared to him that the matter divided Itself into two tocsins, first 80 111111 whether it was Me to do anything at all to prevent this evil; sad , whether the remedial manures, llorj: should be a . to the aide eleventh say, withost ing other posses. It must be evident to aft that onething should he done, to prevent person who called themselves chemists and druggists from selling poisons el say nature. At resent there was no law to pretest those persons from doing so, and no mesas of bringing them to Justice until some fatal result had taken place ham the poisons they had sold. A restriction upon the sale of poisoos in email gun tides would be a very great protection to the public, especi ally where arsenic was wed. for a very large portion of the arsenic at present employed is criminal attempts was sold by small shopkeepers, in obscure and out of the way places in the sonata dairies. It would snake such persons much more cautious, if they were made to • certain extent responsible by law. It was obvious that it was of no isee proclaiming by a law that no penis but • chemist should esti arsenic, when there was no legal means of defining what a chemist was ; and it was also doubtful whether it would be useful to re strict the sale of arsenic at all in small quantities when there were other poisons which no chemical skill could detect after death had been caused by them ; and if manic went out of fashion with the family poisoners, some other poison, equally easy of administration, would be discovered and put an ope ration. It might be reasonably inferred that the people generally could know nothing of such poisons ; but if per haps ingenious persons did use another polio., It was circu lated by the newspapers, and all the details were at once loads known. He thought that the publication of then poisonings wails vicious system, and one which, in its results, was extremely mischievous. If arsenic were prohibited, ought they not also to prohibit opium, henbane, hem lock, do. He knew that is the country the steeple were constantly asking chemists for "stu ff " which was generally understood to mean opium, and it was a poison in common use, small quantities being used instead of drachma. A mixture of opium and treacle was given as a sedative or soporific to children, whilst the mothers were at work ; thus, in fact, poisoning them by wholesale. In the evidence ad duced before a parliamentary committee, not long Pines, strong facts were adduced in reference to the poisoning of children in this manner. He thought that all who were conversant with this matter admitted as a general pelt'. opt', that there was no real amain for the people to use arsenic in smsU quantities at all, either for the destruction of vermin or to any other purpose ; but there could be no doubt, from the quantity of arsenic sold, that it most be used very freely for such purposes. One gentleman he knew had sold during the last three years between 3,000 and 4,000 cwt. of arsenic—a sufficient argument for the extent of the retail as well as the wholesale trade in the article. It was highly essential that some law, which would not interfere with the legitimate use of arsenic, whilst it should restrict the retail trade, should be passed ; and then again arose the difficulty of passing such a law, which would not operate injuriously to the chemist and , druggist. Dr. TUNSTALL said there was no doubt that anemic was indiscriminately sold for the ostensible purpose of destroying' vermin, and this was particularly the case to Lincolnshire, where many of the secret poiswings had taken place. (lien.) It was certainly required in some places that the penes purchasing arsenic should be accompanied by a witness, but the great evil arose from the fact that the witness was not always: personally known to the chemist, and sometimes hardly known to the person purchasing the poison. They were all aware that arsenic was not necessary for the destruction of vermin, but there were other uses for which it was /ought. It was used in stuffing birds to prevent their becoming rigid ; it was used as an outward application for disease in sheep, for killing wire worms, and for steeping wheat to prevent smut. In Manchester it was used for experiments In dyeing and other manufactures. In Leominster It was used to destroy insects, do. Now the disease in sheep was better treated by arsenious acid than by crude month and it might be that the use of the poison exercised • deleterious effect upon the mutton consumed in London and elsewhere. He was informed that sheep fre quently died attar the ironical dressing, and he might pre sume that they were slaughtered when the effects of the poison were still in the frame. Mr. Taylor, who bad examined such sheep, said that the tissues were in fanta& with arsenic, and Mr. Herapath said the same. Mr. Taylor said that arsenic applied to an ulcerated surface was absorbed, and had a poisonous effort in the case of a man who used it as • depilatory. Death took place shortly afterwards. Again, • man was tried in Chester, in 1844, for the death of a woman to whom he had applied an arsenierl plaster. Mr. Brett, of Liverpool, detected arsenic in the stomach, liver, and spleen of a sheep deemed with arsenic, and, indeed, it was a remarkable fact, that anent; however administered, produced inflammation of the stomach. It was • fact well worthy the attention of the profession to endeavour to ascertain the effect of these srsedeal dressings on sheep. He had been informed that sulphate of copper answered bettor than arsenic ; and no doubt it would be used when the cause of the death of sheep was traced to arsenic. The present system should be pat an end te, and it would be destroyed if medical men would unite together in the grand design of protecting their own and the interests of the public. Dr. Ure, Dr. Simpson, Mr. Waugh, Mr. Hooper, Mr. Ed wards, and other gentlemen addressed the meeting to the same effect. A committee, consisting of the most influential members of the profession, was appointed for the purpose of collecting 'Minos with which to go to parliament for an alteration in the present system. BIRMINGHAM POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTION. The annual meeting of the men hers and friends of this institution wet held on Tuesday evening. Mr. Senozinami, M.P., in the chair.. . . From the report read, it appeared that the various classes are in • satiatactory condition, both se to attendance and proems. The hon. president (who has long taken • very warm interest in whatever tends to the moral elevation or social improvement of the working clams) delivered a num ber of prizes, with eertifkstes of approval, to the pupils, so companied by appropriately encouraging remarks. Mr. SCROLEFIED addressed the meeting at consider able length. He expressed his regret that testa*. %k•' of the character of this did not command a far larger amount of support both from the middle and the working sham, especially fitted as they were to benefit the children of the lest; and after citing various minor causes for the apparent indifference of the working duster, the hon. gentleman proceeded to remark that none of these were of themselves sufficient to amount for the neglect of which he complained, and he feared that the chief cause lay in the inability of these classes to avail themselves of the advantages offered. In concluding his address, the how. gentlemen need the meeting not to be disc:aimed by these chilling circumstances; be said that, considering the two years of bad trade, it was a ground of thaokful- MN that they bad dens so well; still it behoved the committee to cast about for the means to extend the useful ness of the institution, and for the better promotion of the purposes for which is wag established. The meeting having been addressed by the Rev. Mr./Tat too, unitarian miniver, Mr. Arthur Ryland, and other gen tlemen, the proceedings terminated with • vote of thanks to the chairman.
